21) Balloon
February 29th. According to Orochimaru, that was Kabuto's birthday. Inwardly I cackle. According to Kabuto, he didn't have memories past the age of 6. Therefore he couldn't had known his actual birthday. So he chose the most unique day of all: the Leap Day.
Such a nerd.
I had asked if he could loan me some money so I could buy Kabuto a present. Orochimaru agrees and sends a reluctant Sasuke with me to shop for birthday things.
"Hmmm. Should I have balloons or no, Sasuke-kun?"
Sasuke rolls his eyes. "Just get a cake or something so we can go."
"You're a worse shopping partner than my dad, and that's saying something." I retort. My dad may be the most impatient shopping partner ever. Five minutes into a bookstore and he's usually already asking if we were done.
We end up ordering a cake and I agonize over what to get him for a present.
"What do you think, Sasuke-kun?"
Sasuke shrugs in apathy.
I was thinking of getting him something practical, but then we walk by an electronic store and my eyes gleam when I see a DVD player on sale. I glance over at Sasuke and grin. It may have been a mistake for Orochimaru to give me his credit card.
