Chapter 29

" Why is all the garbage from the garage in the guests' room?!" Sakura pouted. " Where is Sasuke supposed to sleep now?!"

" Well..." her father started with an evil glimpse in his eye. " ...since I thought that your roommate was a girl, Ino, perhaps, or Hinata, I thought that she could sleep with you...but since the case is different..." he shot a glare at the Uchiha. " ...I guess this won't happen. It's not that bad in the guests' room, though. He could sleep next to the bear traps..."

" Father..." Sakura said threateningly and caught Sasuke's arm. When she looked up to him, she recognized that oh-so-beautiful-yet-weird-expression, that Sasuke had on his face every time he was extremely mad at something or when he was trying hard not to laugh. She guessed, that right now it was a mix from these both. " Since you've already planned this for me and my roommate, Sasuke will sleep in my room..."

" He'll sleep on the couch!" her father objected and Sakura narrowed her eyes.

" No, he won't. We invited him, so you'll sleep on the couch and mum will join me and Sasuke will sleep in your room."

" Sakura, there's no problem...the couch seems fine..." Sasuke said loudly and received the first look from Kizashi Haruno, that wasn't filled with hatred, well, not 100 percent. Maybe 99, and the left was approve.

" See, honey, no problem?"

" No!" this time it was Mebuki. You and Sasuke will sleep in our bedroom and I will go with Sakura. That's it. Point."

" Ha! I'd rather let a bear eat me piece by piece than sleep in a bed with a man!" Kizashi shouted at the same time Sasuke snorted.

" Fine." Sakura shrugged. " Then you'll either sleep on the couch or the floor, you pick, dad..."

" Why are you all teaming up against me?!" her father muttered and after a deathly glare towards Sasuke, escaped the room, while muttering.

" I told you!" he turned to Sakura, who chuckled and stroked his arm.

" It will be fine. Tomorrow he won't be like this, I promise...it will pass...i hope..."

" Tch."

" Well, sweethearts, I'll go prepare the two rooms..." Mebuki said and left the room, too, leaving Sasuke and Sakura alone. She was happy. Finally, they had some time on their own. He wasn't happy. The threat of her father from the afternoon was still echoing in his head, so when Sakura tried to kiss him, he turned his head slightly.

" Sasuke...?''

" Not here...don't drive me insane here, at your parents' house..."

" What's the difference?" she asked innocently, with wide, emerald eyes and received a mocking glance.

" Well, your parents are here and shit..."

" So what? I can't touch you or kiss you?''

" No, you can't. Your father was rather precise with his restrictions..."

" Ah, that old man...Well, I am pretty sure, that he forbid you from nearing me, right?" after Sasuke nodded sourly, she laughed cheerfully. " Well, I haven't been given any restricting orders yet, so..."

She neared Sasuke and wrapped her hands around his neck, pulling him down for a kiss. Of course, as soon as he felt the taste of cherries and cinnamon and spring, he gave up and let his hands pull her closer to him. He didn't measure how time the kiss lasted, but it felt like eternity, now that they were at this place, where Sasuke would risk his head if he was seen with his girlfriend by her pushed her slightly and sighed.

" Please...I can't control myself when I'm around you..."

" What makes you think, that I can?" the girl asked in a whisper and tried to pull him again, but he wasn't just smart, his physics was also rather good, so that's why with only one pull, strong, but gentle, he managed to keep her away.

" Please, Sakura, for the sake of my sanity and my soundness, don't do this now..." he said with a smirk and she sighed.

" Fine...but you'll have to make it up to me when we return to Konoha Leaf."

" You realize we only have one month left in there, right?" he asked after a while and at his words, Sakura shrugged. Has it been that long since they met in Iruka's office? Well, time really was passing by quickly...

" Well, I guess we could...reserve the apartment for next year, too, right?" she smiled and he nodded briefly.

" Yes, of course...well, we could discuss moving out of B-building, where Karin is...but yes, yes we can reserve it..."

" If Karin were here, she'd get mad..."

" Well, she's probably somewhere in the mountain, whining that her legs hurt..."

" You're not fair, Sasuke...if I were there, I'd be whining, too..." Sakura smiled and received a smirk.

" But you wouldn't get on my nerves, because I'd pick you up and, well, it would be a pleasure for me..."

" No, you'd only take advantage of the chance to touch me..."

" Point for you..."


" Stop whining and help me!" her annoying voice flew to Naruto's ears and he sighed.

" Gosh, Karin, if I knew you would be that weak I wouldn't ever want to leave with you!...Suigetsu, come over here and take care of your annoying girlfriend..."

The said boy appeared from the woods with a really bothered expression.

" What is it now?"

" Her feet hurt..." Hinata explained quickly and left her bag on the huge stone. Suigetsu rolled his eyes and after muttering some colorful curses, he threw Karin on his back, as if she was a bag full of potatoes.

" Hey, you could be a bit gentler, you animal!"

" Shut up, you whore, isn't it enough that you're being carried?!"

While they continued on offending each other, while making their way through the forest, Naruto neared Hinata.

" Maybe we should have gone camping somewhere else...without those two..."

" Maybe you're right...but it's too late for any r-regrets, right?" the girl chuckled and with a deep sigh, took her backpack and followed the other teens.

They were getting higher and higher and Naruto was swearing, that the lake was near, although there was no sign of it. The crazy Sui and karin were about to attack him, because of how clueless he was, when his phone rang. he sighed relieved and hurried to answer.

" Yes?"

" Oi, dobe..."

" Sasuke!...Thank goodness, that you call! Hey, look, mate, we are headed towards that lake we used to go to before, remember? At Mount Hokage...Yeah , well, hypothetically...very hypothetically...there is a group of tourists...but they're not us...no, no, not us...yeah, definitely not us...and...uh, let's say that...they are...errrm...lost?"

Naruto heard Sasuke's sigh from the other side of the line.

" So you're lost? Where are you now? Describe the place."

" It's got trees...and huge rocks and a cliff. It's actually pretty cool here, too, but Karin insisted on the lake. So..."

" You are at the cliffs? You're not far then, north into the forest for five more minutes and you should reach it..."

" Thanks, mate, saved my ass...again...Hey, why did you call, what is it?"

He heard a sigh once again.

" He's insane! Her father is nuts!"

" Told ya..."

" No, Naruto, shut up and listen...I am forced to sleep with him in one room and I fear that he might have put a bear trap under my pillow! He threatened me, that he'd kill me if he found me alone with Sakura..."

" Calm down, Sasuke...where are you now? Not in the house, I believe..."

" Of course not. I am walking around the neighborhood. If I stayed in that house for a little longer, I'd be dead by now..."

Naruto chuckled. It wasn't like Sasuke to be whining like this.

" Look, deal with it. Fathers are like that...Just...before you go to sleep check under your pillow and make sure, that there isn't a baseball bat in the room, OK? Say 'hi' to Sakura from me! Now..."

" You better don't close and give me some advice! You...and wait, what baseball bat?!" Sasuke sounded terrified, that's why Naruto chuckled again and started making weird sounds, which Hinata assumed were to make Sasuke believe, that there was a problem with the connection. " Look...tchhhggg...I have two people ready to kill me and you have...hgtttt...one...tghhht...deal with it...ghhhh...I hope I'll see you after the vacation...thggggg...Bye!"

Before Sasuke would start accusing him because of his weak attempt to end the conversation, because Sasuke certainly knew, that Naruto was making these pathetic sounds, Naruto clicked the red button and ended the conversation, facing three teens, one of them worried and two-angry.

" You better tell me you know the right direction now!" Karin hissed and her cousin grinned.

" Yes...We were headed in the right direction! See, I'm not that stupid!"

" You are way worse than stupid!" she snapped back, but Hinata ended their snarling by raising her arm.

" What's going on, Naruto? Is everything alright?"

" Yeah, everything's fine...Sakura's well...and Sasuke...well...I'm not quite sure about his health state..."

" What...is he sick or something?" Karin asked with narrowed eyes. but Naruto laughed loudly, carelessly...

" Yeah, sick...I guess the name of that disorder is 'future-father-in-law'..."

" Future father in..." Suigetsu started, but Karin interrupted him with a shriek.

" WHAT?! FATHER IN LAW?!"

" Future..." Naruto corrected and proceeded in picking up his backpack, but Karin was on her feet, pushing his back against the rock.

" Did you just say father in law?!"

" Jeez, Karin, yes, he did!" Suigetsu interfered, but was completely outzoned by the Uzumaki redhead.

" So you tell me that Sasuke and Sakura are...that Sakura and Sasuke are..."

" Getting married?" Hinata suggested and received a nod.

Everybody stared at Naruto. Karin looked at him as if she'd kill him if he confirmed. Suigetsu and Hinata were bearing sort of a pitiful expression. The blonde sighed.

" I don't know...yet...probably...some day..."

" NARUTO!" the girl yelled threateningly.

" Fine, fine, I'll tell you, but you all have to keep this a secret, OK?!"

" Duh...as if I even want to know..." Suigetsu snorted, but sat next to the Hyuga who immediately blushed and backed away.

" Look, he, Sasuke..." Naruto sighed. It was hard for him to say this, since his best friend told him, no, warned him, that if he told anybody, he'd cut his tongue and then he would shot it. Too much 'Pirates of the Caribbean', in Naruto's opinion. " He's going to ask Sakura's dad for his blessing before asking her herself."

Hinata smirked, she had expected something like this. Suigetsu looked around thoughtfully and then his gaze stopped on Karin. And she, she was looking at the blonde as if he had slapped her. Her lower lip was trembling, her glasses were about to fall from the bridge of her nose and her eyes were narrowed.

" So he really is doing this...is she that special?!"

" She's more than special..." Naruto hurried to answer with a hiss. " She's the only one who stayed by his side all the time. Even you and me, even us, who claim to be his family, we weren't strong enough for him. So yes, she's that special...Now, let's go. The teme said west into the forest!"

When they stood up, Suigetsu pulled Naruto to the side and looked at him with a horrified expression on his face/

" Wait...you mean to tell me, that to marry a girl, you have to ask her father first?!"


" Sasuke, dear, good morning!"

Mebuki was the only person who was awake. For the first time since he arrived here the previous day, Sasuke smiled sincerely.

" Good morning, Haru-...Mebuki-san." he corrected himself, after she shot him a glare. After that, she smiled and pointed the nearest chair.

" What would you want for breakfast, sweetie? Eggs and beacon? Pancakes? Cornflakes? Any other cereal? Or probably oat flakes? Hey, what about a croissant? And hot chocolate?"

Sasuke felt like throwing up after the woman listed all these sweet stuff, but he forced himself to smile.

" Erm, eggs and bacon..."

" Sure, sweetie...just a minute..."

The woman started bustling around, taking a pan, opening the fridge and taking the eggs and the meat at the same time, which kind of amused the boy. He was looking the way she moved around the kitchen,a s if it were her kingdom and immediately thought of Sakura. So that was the person, who has teached his cherry blossom to cook and he could perfectly understand why Sakura has turned out to be so good. Judging by the movements of Mebuki Haruno, Sasuke assumed, she could have a culinary show on her own. He hasn't even tried her food yet, but he was positive, that it would be amazing. Not that eggs and bacon required much work, though...

" So, what would you want to do today?" she asked while pouring oil in the pan. The Uchiha looked up to her with hesitance in his eyes. Maybe she was a person who could give him advice. Of course, if his mother and father were still with him, he'd turn to them for advice, but they weren't. And he was stupid enough to forget asking Minato and Kushina and instead, turning to their stupid son. And since that earlyin the morning he couldn't call anybody, he pursed his lips and hoiped that he wasn't making a mistake.

" Hey, eer, Mebuki-san...I wanted to ask you something..."

" Anything, dear..." she smiled and turned around to face him with a sweet smile on her features. That reminded him of Sakura as well. The women looked alike. Except for the hair.

" I was wondering...No, I am going to...no, no..." Sasuke bit his tongue with grudge. He didn't know how to formulate his sentence, that it would sound complete and true. The woman in front of him giggled and placed an arm on his shoulder.

" I know that face from my own daughter. I know something troubles you, so spit it out. I'm a mum, I know how to accept stuff even if they aren't explained the best way possible...and as a mum, I'd try to give you some advice...alright, honey?"

Sasuke was taken aback by the kindness of that woman. She was really nice to him...and all these ways she was calling him...sweetie, honey, sweetheart, dear...they made him feel wanted and loved, even though he knew her from only one day. But that didn't change the fact, that just by looking at her green eyes, he felt warmth and wasn't afraid to speak the truth.

" It's...it's just that...I really love your daughter and..."

" It's about Kizashi, right?" the woman sighed with a smile. " Ah, that old man, he doesn't remember what it is to be young and in love..."

" Well, it's not about him...not...quite...it's about something else..."

" Really now?"

" Yes, as I said, I really, really love your daughter. She means more than anything in the world for me. She's always by my side and helps me get up whenever I fall...hypothetically..." he looked at the woman and judging by her expression, she already knew that he meant the deaths of his family. " And...I feel the...the need to have her with me forever...that's why I wanted to do it as the tradition says, I wanted to ask Kizashi-san about...about his opinion..."

The woman seemed kind of confused.

" Opinion? You shouldn't consider his opinion, dear, you love her and I tell you she loves you. You don't need other people's opinions to know what you already know, right?"

" No, " Sasuke shook his head, while Mebuki was handing him a plate with his breakfast, that looked incredibly delicious. " You didn't understand what I mean...I love Sakura...and...I want to ask her for her hand, after I ask her father about his blessing."

Mebuki dropped the slotted spoon. Sasuke pursed his lips.

And in the hallway, right next to the door, with widened eyes and shaky feet, Sakura covered her mouth with both hands to suppress the gasp.
