Naruto continued to mumble incoherent things as he and Hinata walked all over Konoha. He was lucky enough to escape Sakura's interrogation just a few moments ago, but now he was stuck with even a bigger problem, and this problem he couldn't handle alone.
The blonde let out a deep sigh while slowly revealing a white folded piece of paper from his jacket. He unfolded the said piece of paper and began to shudder at the thought. For on thing, as you all know he had absolutely no intention of going "there", and secondly if anyone sees him in "there" he'll die of embarrassment.
Hinata on the other hand, had begun to blush furiously as soon as Naruto had dragged her off from some reason. She lightly twirled her index fingers together in an attempt to calm her nerves, but sadly it had no effect. She had wondered why in the world Naruto had abruptly pulled her away from Sasuke and Sakura. But who could care less! Her all time crush had just pulled her off unexpectedly away from distractions, as if he wanted to be alone with her… in a… sort of like…. ' a date…' Hinata thought, the red hues on her cheeks getting darker. No. That couldn't possibly be Naruto's intentions of walking with her. Impossible. Sure the first part of her theory was true, they were alone, but as Hinata glanced timidly at her companion, concern immediately took over her face.
There was Naruto, sweating buckets of water, with a very crumpled piece of paper within his grasp. She wondered if she should help him, since he looked so feverish and well… nervous. Being the smart girl Hinata was, she decided it would be best, besides she couldn't bear seeing her love suffering.
Naruto narrowed his cerulean eyes at the sheet of paper. Where the hell was he supposed to find this place? His blue orbs narrowed in a way that looked like he was squinting his eyes to find something invisible. Time was running out, and if he didn't get this "thing" Sasuke had asked before tomorrow, he'd die young. Naruto sighed heavily for the millionth time that day and remembered that he had brought Hinata along with him. Surely he could as for her help but like all other males, his ego wouldn't let him, and his embarrassment wouldn't either.
He tore his eyes away from the abused slightly torn paper and glanced at his side, only to find no Hinata. Naruto became instantly alarmed and was about to scream her name but found that he had bumped into something in front of him in the process. Trying to keep balanced he grabbed anything to keep him standing which happened to be the person in front of him, although his eyes were locked toward the ground beneath him so he couldn't see who it was. Tanned slender hands quickly slipped around the said person's tiny waist as they crashed on the floor.
Luckily no one was there to see them because if they had, it would have been misleading. Very misleading.
" Ah gomen! I wasn't watching where I was g-" Naruto mumbled politely, rubbing one hand at the back of his neck, and his other elbow supporting him when he noticed who it was he bumped against…
'Hinata?'
Indeed it was Hinata he had "fallen" with. One of her pale lavender eyes squinted open, to find that she was all right. Her soft dark purple hair fell over her scrunched up shoulders, as her apologetic eyes traveled over a familiar orange jacket. Slowly and surely they moved on their own accord upward, her gaze finally landing in those of deep cerulean blue.
' Naruto-kun…'
The two unsuspecting ninja's who happened to have lost their super sensing abilities for one second, did not realize whom they bumped into until it was too late. ( Well Hinata knew, but she didn't know that he wouldn't see her right in front of him.) For a moment, Hinata and Naruto's gaze were locked onto those of each others. But as sure as it had begun it had ended when the Hyuga began to redden horribly, and sweat as much as Naruto had earlier.
The said boy noticed this and wondered what was wrong with her. He followed her gaze left and right, up and down and back to his when he realized, their faces were merely inches apart.
Gulp.
Blink.
Lub-dub.
Lub-dub.
Lub-dub,Lub-dub,Lub-dub,Lub-dub!
Hinata quickly leapt to her feet as did Naruto, their faces stained with red, and eyes desperately trying not to gaze at each other. Soon, an awkward silence followed, either shinobi willing to break it, or wanting to either. Finally sweet relief came when Naruto's noticed the time inside a market they were beside. Blue orbs widened slightly, as yellow brows furrowed together.
Naruto spun on his heels quickly forgetting the whole incident and turned toward Hinata. The Hyuga was surprised by this and began to redden terribly, her eyes averting his gaze, but quickly landed back to his anxious, nervous eyes.
Naruto cleared his throat, His eyes drifting back onto the paper and onto Hinata. " Listen Hinata-chan, C-can you help me look for this place its, its urgent. I promise I won't keep you too long, and I'll owe you one I- just I-"
Hinata had a look of confusion written on her face, but was quickly replaced by a tender loving reaction. She smiled warmly at him, a blush still present on her face.
" Sure Naruto-kun, I-I'll help you,
The fox boy grinned happily at her, his eyes glimmering of happiness, " Thanks Hinata-chan! You're great!" he said loudly while he gently slipped his hand around Hinata's wrist. He looked over his shoulder and smiled sincerely as Hinata did the same.
She lightly lifted a closed palm over her racing heart, as if trying to keep her heart rate intact, as her eyes stared happily at Naruto's head. ' don't f-faint Hinata, don't faint!' She repeatedly told herself.
This may not be a date, but for Hinata, she couldn't have asked for more.
With Sasuke & Sakura...
Sakura drummed her fingers lightly on her closed fist, as she walked quietly along the quiet streets of Konoha. Her mind had still been drifting off towards Naruto's strange behavior, but nonetheless that was Naruto for you. But still, what she wanted to know more was what he and Sasuke were talking about back at Ichiraku's. It seemed that there was something special about what they were talking about since when she had attempted to ask Sasuke about it, he just shrugged it off and said it was nothing.
Usually she would have obeyed but, today was different. Today Sakura was the ace snoop of the town, and Sasuke's answer just wouldn't do. She wanted to know and if she was in snooping mode, a bombardment of questions will come falling down on you, until she gets a reasonable answer. Sadly the victim of this inquiry, was the lucky Uchiha Sasuke.
Sakura furrowed her brows toward a certain raven-haired boy next to her. " C'mon Sasuke-kun tell me!"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes toward Sakura, his lips forming a perfect line. " Tell you what?"
" You know what!" Sakura grumbled loudly. It's been a whole hour and she's gotten no answer, only verbal psychology thrown back at her face. If this were any other person she would have forced them to a dark alley and scare the truth out of them with her amazing strength. She could definitely live up to her threats since this has happened on more than one occasion, but since this was Sasuke, she obviously couldn't.
Or could she?
" What we're you and Naruto talking about?" Sakura asked, a little irritated. Sasuke just rolled his eyes, a smirk gracing his lips.
" Oh you want to know what me and Naruto were talking about?" He teased." That's what I've been asking you for the past hour!" Sakura retorted, a hand on her hip.
" Really? Didn't notice…" Sasuke trailed off as he watched Sakura's irritated face from the corner of his eye.
Toying with Sakura's mind never really occurred to him before, but now as he was actually doing it, he regretted nothing. Seeing the usually, calm collected kunoichi (much like him) getting frustrated over a simple conversation between he and Naruto amused him to no end, even though her constant questions annoyed him slightly.
But you can guess he wanted it no other way. But hell, torturing Sakura was a lot of fun!
The kunoichi glared at Sasuke warning him with her eyes." Sasuke-kun stop. It. I know what you're doing,"
Sasuke lifted a brow and remained quiet, his hands in his pockets, and charcoal eyes looking on ahead. He inwardly smirked and began operation get-Sakura-off-my-neck plan into action. He wondered how long she could last, and what her reaction would be.
" Sasuke-kun tell me!"
"…"
" What were you and Naruto talking about?"
"…"
" Sasuke-kun?"
"…"
Sakura furrowed her brows even more, as she wondered why the hell he wasn't responding to her. She sighed and shook her head.
" You're ignoring me aren't you?"
"…"
" Sasuke-kun, why is it so hard to tell me?" asked angrily. She was beginning to lose her hard earned patience, and tried her best to keep her emotions at bay. If not, she was so going to force the truth out of a certain someone… the hard way!
"…"
" Sasuke-kun stop it!
Sakura closed her eyes and walked in front of Sasuke, stopping him in his tracks." If you don't tell me right this minute I-"
Grumble.
Grumble. Grumble.
Sasuke and Sakura stopped in her tracks, as a loud grumble noise began to erupt in Sasuke's stomach. The Uchiha looked down to where the noise had come from and began to blush with embarrassment. Sakura green orbs immediately landed on Sasuke's stomach that happened to interrupt at the right moment.
She smiled playfully at Sasuke's pink face while tucking her hands behind her back. Sakura was about to speak when someone…. or something interrupted her.
Sasuke's eyes widened slightly while holding a hand over his growling stomach. 'Great, just great,' Sasuke thought irritated. ' Your timing sucks!' he scolded his stomach. His belly really had a incredibly bad timing when signaling that its hungry. He narrowed his eyes dangerously at the kunoichi in front of him…who was trying to stifle an oncoming fit of giggles.
" Hn…."
" S-Sasuke-kun –giggle- are you –giggle- h-hungry –giggle, giggle-" Sakura asked, laughing slightly. The Uchiha rolled his eyes, a taint of pink visible on his cheek. After Sakura had finally regained her composure, and wiping an invisible tear on her eye (simply to humor the moment) a smile crept on her lips.
She grabbed a hold of Sasuke wrist and began directing him to a nearby market." C'mon Sasuke-kun, I just remembered we had no more tomatoes in the fridge,"
Sasuke's eyes began to narrow with a very ferocious lust towards a certain object. His stomach was more than happy to comply with the news as it began to trumpet the loud battle cry.
Sakura giggled and looked over her shoulder. " Alright, Alright I heard you already,"
"Hn…"
In the market…Green orbs studied the red plump tomato on her palm. Shortly after they arrived at the market, the Uchiha had nearly torn her arm with him pulling on hers toward a certain tomato counter. As soon as they got to the said counter, the tomato obsessed Uchiha crossed his arms and began watching the plump tomatoes like a hawk watching a chicken buffet.
His hungry gaze hovered over the tomatoes, as if he was already eating them with his intense stare. Sakura sweat dropped at Sasuke's actions. She swore she actually saw one of the tomatoes squirm under his gaze! Really!
Puzzled by his actions, she wondered how the origins of Sasuke's severe, severe obsessions for tomatoes came from. Really, she had no idea how he came to like tomatoes so much and she for one would like to know. I mean she's never known Sasuke having any crazed obsessions other than that of his revenge for his son-of-a… er… brother. But then again this was Sasuke. And Sasuke was complex, mysterious, secretive, and complicated. Of course he would have secrets like these, just yesterday she discovered he liked gardening! That let alone was enough to get her full, curious attention.
But that's what she liked about him sometimes, he wasn't an open book unless he wanted to be and that's one of the things she finds… well… attractive. 'Totally opposite of Naruto' she thought.
Sakura gathered several, or rather large amounts of tomatoes in a plastic bag and put them in her basket. She knew that Sasuke could digest large amounts of his favourite food as much as Naruto can eat 30 bowls of ramen in one day, and that's why she bought extra for back up. You know, just incase there's not enough.
Her fingers were inches from another red juicy tomato when her hands became frigid.
" MY YOUTHFUL SAKURA-CHAN!" a voice bellowed across the market.
Without even bothering to spare the said person a glance ( we all know who this is!) Sakura had already dashed the opposite way, completely forgetting Sasuke and a certain object that's stopping her.
Sadly, a forceful tug at her right hand caused her to stop and briefly utter profanities under her breath. Sasuke didn't even notice where his companion had gone when a tug on his left hand forced his gaze elsewhere. Sakura deeply sighed and gave up, knowing that the rings would have won anyways, so she succumbed to the chakra and was forced back with Sasuke. (A/N: These are the kind of downsides the rings have! hehe I'm evil…)
The raven-haired boy glared at Sakura for leaving him all of a sudden, and also for attempting to leave him with the, oh so youthful Rock Lee as his next companion. Sakura didn't even notice his glares because she had been shielding her eyes from the powerful ping of lee's teeth.
" AHA! MY BEAUTIFUL FLOWER SAKURA-CHAN! ALAS! I HAVE FOUND YOU!" Lee screamed joyfully raising a fist in the air. Sasuke glared at Lee's bowl cut head, hoping, somehow his glare would turn into laser beams cutting through his thick ugly, bowl cut freakaziod- err getting a little off topic. Let's just say he really hates lee okay?
Sakura winced at his loud obnoxious voice and smiled. " Uh, Hello Lee. What bri-"
Lee interjected loudly. " MY YOUTHFUL FLOWER! OFCOURSE YOU KNOW OF TOMORROW'S EVENT?" Sakura narrowed her eyes dangerously but knew that her patience would reward her greatly. " Um, Yes Lee what abo-"
" OH HOW WONDERFUL!" Lee beamed. The pink-haired kunoichi was steadily losing her patience at Lee's current interruptions. If this keeps up, she would start to lose her self-control. The kunoichi knew how to handle this, and since she's dealt with obnoxious annoying little kids before, she knew exactly how to handle lee.
Sakura quickly slapped a hand over his mouth and used her other hand signaling him to be quiet. The bowl cut boy quickly stopped and looked happily at his love. Behind Sakura a very dangerous aura was emitting from a certain Uchiha, though oblivious to Sakura and Lee.
His ebony eyes traveled from Sakura's arm and onto her outstretched hand that was covering lee's mouth. He really wanted to choke lee for intruding. He really… really… really wanted to choke Lee for touching his Sakura. Well he really didn't touch her, but anyone who even tries to touch her will get their ass kicked by the hailstorm of overprotective jealousy that was Sasuke. Unfortunately for him and luckily for Lee, Sakura was there so technically the steaming Uchiha could do nothing but glare…. But who said he couldn't do anything to him afterwards?
" Now Lee, I'll only remove my hand if you promise to talk in a nice quiet, indoor voice, and if you stop interrupting me. Okay?" She asked, as if teaching a young boy manners. Lee nodded dumbly while Sakura removed her hand. ' Who is she talking to, a 5year-old?' Sasuke thought angrily. He really didn't want her babying lee.
Rock Lee began to blush slightly while his right hand traveled back to reach something from behind him.
Whoa…
Sakura's eyes were wide, as Sasuke's narrowed even more. A beautiful bouquet of pink yellow, and red roses were presented before her, wrapped in a light blue plastic wrapper. The pink-haired kunoichi gasped quietly ; a slight tinge of pink across the bridge of her nose.
" Sakura-chan, um, w-would you like to accompany me to the festival tomorrow?" Lee asked, his black doll-like eyes staring at the floor. Sakura blinked. Sasuke scowled.
Her jade eyes lingered on the floor as if thinking over the proposal for a moment, which seemed to be an eternity for Sasuke and Lee. ' I only think of Lee-san as a friend but…'
But nothing!
'well….'
No way are we going to the festival with bushy brows! Neveeerr!
' Sheesh calm down,'
HMPH!
' I only think of Lee-san as a friend okay?'
' Besides there would be no point, since the ring will keep me with Sasuke-kun anyway.'
YESSSS! SASUKE-KUN FOREVA!
Sakura concluded her thoughts by taking the flowers from Lee and smiling at him. Bushy brows was surprised by this and smiled victoriously, while Sasuke struggled as to not punch bushy brows right in the face. He wasn't doing a very good job since there were already little hints of sharingan red present in his eyes.
Sakura held the flowers to her chest and smiled sadly at her um… admirer " Thank you for the flowers Lee, but-"
Sasuke smirked victoriously and quickly moved himself beside Sakura. " She has other plans tomorrow bushy –brows," he retorted glaring intently at Rock Lee. The pink-haired kunoichi quickly glanced at the Uchiha from the corner of her eyes, her eyebrows quirked in confusion.
"Is this true my lovely flower?" Lee asked sadly.
"Um, yes?" Sakura lied. Everything suddenly became quiet, as If the whole market was waiting for Lee's reaction. Lee's green form was slouched, his hands freely hanging from his sides, but then…
" OH MY BEAUTIFUL FLOWER! THIS IS SUCH HORRIBLE NEWS!" Lee cried,kneeling in front of Sakura. The two shinobi's only sweat dropped in return.
" But do not worry for I will be alright! I shall run 1500 laps around Konoha to get over this heart-breaking-"
"Lee-" Sakura began.
" I KNOW! I shall visit Gai-sensei and ask if he would like to go with me to the youthful glorious festival!"
" Okay then L-" Sakura attempted again but was cut off… again.
" We shall both flower in the graces of the youthful beauty that is-"
" Go already!" Sasuke hissed angrily.
Blink.
' Where'd he go?' Sakura thought in amazement as she looked over at the spot were Lee used to be a few moments ago. She sighed tiredly and held the flowers close to her. Sasuke sighed as well but glared instantly as he heard the crackling of the wrapper around the bouquet. His eyes immediately death-glared at the said flowers, because he was reminded of that idiot Lee.
You could practically see the flowers withering within Sasuke's bad ass glare!
She quickly regained her composure and headed towards the cashier with Sasuke right behind her. Unbeknownst to Sakura, Sasuke was making a quick mental note of pounding those flowers with a mallet, burning them, and making Lee eat it later.
" Ne Sasuke-kun," she asked while the two walked away from the market.
" Hm?"
Her emerald eyes looked at him with confusion" What did you mean that I had other plans tomorrow?"
" Nothing." Was his reply.
" Sure it's not nothing if you told Lee," She retorted.
" Hn."
" C'mon Sasuke-kun, what is it that I have planned tomorrow?" Sakura replied sarcastically.
Sasuke sighed. He was beginning to get a major headache. He had just recovered from the last interrogation, and he didn't really need this from Sakura right now!" Sakura. Drop it,"
" No! tell me Sasuke-kun!" Sakura pleaded, her jade orbs narrowed. The Uchiha groaned and lifted a hand to gently rub his scalp.
Here we go again…..
In the Uchiha Compound…After the previous bickering of the persistent Sakura, and the very annoyed Sasuke, they finally reached the compound, much to Sasuke's relief.
Sasuke followed the pink-haired kunoichi in to the dining room, which is right beside the kitchen. Of course his purpose for pursuing her was because of the red bundles of tomatoes she was carrying.
His nose wrinkled a little as Sakura began cutting the tomatoes one by one in little pieces. The pink haired girl noticed his actions and looked at him briefly before taking a small piece of the tomato and delectably placed it in her mouth, tempting the ravenous Uchiha who sat right at the counter.
Knowing Sasuke, it was probably hard enough for him seeing as he can't get a piece of the tomatoes she was cutting, let alone seeing her eat one of the pieces with pleasure.
Sakura dangled another piece of tomato in between her fingertips and eyed her companion before devouring the tomato. Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he watched Sakura playing with his precious tasty tomatoes in the kitchen.
He knew what she was doing, and it was definitely not going to work. 'Definitely….. yes… not… going to work…' He thought wearily, as his stomach began to complain yet again.
Sakura smirked inwardly at the sulking figure of Sasuke on the table. The kunoichi was an expert at tempting people, and it just so happens that she had a bunch of tomatoes and… a very hungry Uchiha. ' Payback time Sasuke-kun!'
After Sakura had played with the tomatoes, and eaten some for her self, she decided it was enough torture since she too was getting quite hungry. Taking other ingredients from her plastic bag, she placed them on the counter and began humming to herself. She was about to grab an onion to cut when calloused fingers had claimed them first.
Startled by this, Sakura looked up hesitantly toward those of onyx eyes. Sasuke took another onion from her and quickly produced a kunai within his other hand. She lifted a brow and glanced at Sasuke from the corner of her eyes, all the while cutting a piece of tomato with her knife.
" What are you doing Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked with interest. This is the first time Sasuke's helped her with anything let alone cooking!
" If you don't hurry up, I'll starve to death," Sasuke smirked and began chopping the onions one by one with his kunai.
Sakura noticed his handy tool and provided him with a knife instead, as well as helping Sasuke overcome the teary eyed powers of onions. After Sasuke and Sakura were able to chop the ingredients successfully, with Sasuke getting minor cuts, Sakura proceeded to boiling them in a pot full of tomatoes.
After she had done this, the Uchiha leaned on the wall beside Sakura, his nose twitching every now and then from the tasty aroma the tomatoes were emitting. Finally after the food has been cooked, Sasuke and Sakura placed themselves in the dining table and began to eat contently, all the while the pink-haired kunoichi watching him anxiously as he eyed everything on the table.
Sasuke took a bite of one of the foods Sakura prepared and remained impassive for a moment, with Sakura staring at him. Sasuke swallowed it slowly and … then finally looking up to meet Sakura's gaze. The room fell into a silent murmur, neither one saying a word.
The Uchiha's eye's remained impassive but was quickly replaced with an approving look. He nodded his head and smirked, happily taking another big bite. Sakura let out a small sigh and proceeded to eat her own share, knowing she has passed his test.
The kunoichi grinned inwardly knowing that Sasuke was always picky about the food he eats. Even when at Ichiraku's, he would always have a habit of assessing the ramen in front of him, as if checking for bombs that could explode in his face. Of course it's no surprise that he would be especially skeptical about his favourite food.
Luckily he approved it and Sakura was glad. Healing wasn't the only thing she was good for you know.
After Dinner...The kuniochi yawned quietly as she dragged her feet on the flight of steps. For some reason she had been tired lately even though she wasn't doing anything strenuous. Her head drooped lightly beside her shoulders as she followed Sasuke' steps toward their room.
Sasuke took to the bathroom first while taking a light shower whereas Sakura went inside the room to retrieve her clothes, and waited patiently at the balcony for Sasuke. Pink tresses flew lightly behind her as her eyes traveled towards the dark starry skies. Sakura watched them with pure delight as each star began to twinkle lightly.
A small sigh escaped Sakura's lips as she leaned on the railing. It was actually nice to have some alone time to her self and you know, just clear your mind for a while. For Sakura, she hardly got any of these so called alone times, because of her busy ninja schedules. What with training with Tsunade, going on missions with her team, and her family matters. For once it was nice to be by her self and think or the opposite.
Her thoughts immediately drifted on to none other than Sasuke. Sakura inwardly cursed for thinking about him since she was trying to break the habit of doing so all the time, but of course this feat was hard to reach because her thoughts somehow, someway, lead back to him.
This time she wondered if anything has changed between them. Certainly there wasn't anything romantic that she picked up on that he was sharing with her. She wished that maybe just maybe, something between their friendship had changed, or improved, and indeed it has. Before he would usually pay no heed to her during their team would meet, even outside training or just plain casually. It's like he pretended that she wasn't even there. A none existing entity that was only there to be a burden, a nuisance, or as Sasuke would put it himself…. Annoying.
But for some reason, Sakura felt that he had changed his outlook towards her… even just a little bit. And she was thankful for that. She had really tried to change herself. She had tried to be stronger, more independent and sure of her skills, and lastly, she tried to not be so irritating around him. Sakura felt that she had gotten past those factors and thought that she was the spitting image of a matured Sakura.
But sometimes Sasuke would make her feel like crap, like after missions he would never compliment her or acknowledge her with her skills. Heck, the only time he opened his mouth was to tell her " You should be more careful," or " Don't get in the way Sakura," and God forbid his usual remark " Hn or Aa". But lately he was being more…. Considerate, and she really appreciated that. It made her feel important to the only person who matters.
Sakura was snapped out of her thoughts when Sasuke walked back in and directed his head toward the bathroom. Sakura smiled and nodded as she went through the door but stopped short when she secretly glanced at Sasuke's form. His hair was still damp, and his shirt still sticking onto his moist body.
" Did you need something Sakura?" Sasuke's voice echoed through her ears.
She blushed immediately and realized that she stared too long . " Ah! No, Sasuke-kun I'm, I'm fine…" Sakura murmured and closed the door behind her.
Later In The Night…Sasuke's body stirred quietly under the covers of his bed. The Uchiha had been sleeping soundly along with Sakura who happened to sleep facing towards him this time around. The two shinobi's slept soundly until…
Skiff.
Swoosh.
Sasuke's eye's quickly shot open as he carefully shifted off the bed. He felt a presence in the balcony and quickly grabbed two kunai with his hands. The Uchiha took great care not to wake Sakura or alert the person in the balcony of his presence.
Sasuke leaned behind the wall and peeked at the intruder, only to find a dark cloaked like shadow. ' Who the hell is this guy?' Sasuke thought, grasping his kunai tighter. He felt that this person's chakra was above normal, and thought that he must've been a spy of some sort. Without any hesitation, Sasuke appeared right behind the said person with incredible speed, and held the kunai directly at the person's throat in a cris-cross pattern.
Sasuke's sharingan eyes glared dangerously at his hostage pulling his weapons closer to his/her throat. " Who the hell are you," he demanded, his voice low. The person only sighed with annoyance, has he finally spoke. " Baka! You can't even recognize me?"
Sasuke closed his eyes and retracted the kunai on the said person's neck. He cursed under his breath.
" Dobe! What the hell are you doing here in the middle of the night?" he hissed.
" What do you think teme!" Naruto spoke, clearly annoyed. The blonde reached for his black cloak and pulled it off instantly all the while grinning at his grand entrance, while Sasuke glared.
" Keep it down moron, Sakura will hear us!" Sasuke hissed at the sulking Naruto. The blonde raised an eyebrow and gasped quietly.
" What! Don't tell me your sharing a r-" Naruto began but Sasuke quickly slapped a hand on Naruto's big fat mouth before any more crap talk came out of it.
Sasuke sighed deeply, trying to keep his raging annoyance in check." Never mind that, did you get it?"
Now it was Naruto's turn to roll his eyes, as he pushed Sasuke's hands off and grinned.
" Here's you're order bastard!" Naruto barked as he pulled out a small plastic wrapped bundle from behind him and shoved it on to Sasuke's arms.
The raven-haired boy examined the package for a moment and slowly smirked. ' The idiot actually managed to get it right,' Sasuke thought impressed. " Hn. You actually found the place, and got the right one." Sasuke spoke, putting a balled fist on his waist.
Naruto grinned proudly, with his arms crossed on his chest, until Sasuke spoke. " Wonder who helped you,"
Naruto reddened as he began to recall his afternoon. " Shut up teme! Do you know how much shit you put me up through just to find that?" Naruto scowled angrily. Sasuke just rolled his eyes but immediately froze when he heard a soft noise in the bedroom.
" You should be than-ACCCK!" Naruto couldn't finish his sentence when Sasuke pushed him off the balcony. Naruto's orange form started falling from the three-story balcony and headed straight for the ground.
" AAHH! SAS-OOFF!" He screamed but luckily, he landed onto a flowery bush that was able to break his fall.
Sasuke looked over the balcony and smirked at Naruto's form. " Owwww…." The fox boy hissed under his breath and tried to struggle to stand. Unfortunately for Naruto, he had landed on a rose bush . He cursed under his breath as weary blue eyes looked over his body parts. He definitely looked like shit: His jacket was shredded and ripped, he had cuts all over him, and most of all the unbearable pain the thorns up his ass were causing got Naruto really, really pissed.
" Sorry about that dobe, and thanks," Sasuke smirked wider as he lifted the small package for the blonde to see.
" Damn you bastard!" Naruto moaned loudly while making hand seals. With a loud poof! And a puff of smoke, Naruto had left, leaving Sasuke quite amused. The Uchiha closed his ebony eyes and headed back inside, tucking the package safely in his drawers.
For a second that day, he thought Naruto would have never been able to pick the package up for him in time, but I guess he was wrong. After all you could only expect so much from an idiot, although Naruto does have his moments of brilliance and this was one of those times. ' Naruto can do something right after all' Sasuke thought besieged. He kept it a mental note to thank the dobe for his services with a free ramen next time, but he doubted that that wouldn't be enough for his ramen-starved friend.
The Uchiha sighed and pulled the covers on Sakura and him, as he watched her sleeping face briefly. He turned back to his side and closed his eyes thinking of one thought. " At least the first part of my plan is in check…'
A/N: Whoa, this is like my longest chapter ever! Yup and I congratulate Sasuke for his brilliant plan which is….. Nah! Why ruin the surprise for you guys?
