Don't own Naruto .o.o. "talking" 'thinking'
Sasuke's POV
I can not believe she threw me out of my own room that night! I'm paying for the damn apartment and I was stuck sleeping on that god awful couch... why haven't I bought a new one yet? Sakura was still mad at me the next morning, she didn't make breakfast and just took Ichiro to her parents... I knew I was going to have to work really hard to get back on her good side. But how could I do that when I was furious that she lied and went around my back to see that kid. But apparently that didn't matter, this project that Sakura that didn't even need as a grade... that's all that mattered.
The kid has been coming over everyday to work on the project and being near my son, I of course have to be present as the parent figure to take notes on how they care for Ichiro. Sakura of course was perfect, she's the best mother... Sai on the other hand sucked as a father. Sakura would ask him to do something, whether for the baby or herself, and he would question her and then deem it womens' work; I was pleased to see Sakura smacked him the first couple of times until he realized that he needed to think before he spoke or risk another hit... if I could I would have given her extra credit for those. Two straight weeks this punk was in the apartment, and thank god this is the last week for the project, Sakura being in school, and having to deal with Sai. But the down side about all this is Sakura is a nervous wreck... and I don't know why.
"Sasuke haven't you finished your report yet?"
"Sakura this is the third time you've asked me in the last hour and it's the same answer as before... not yet." I haven't been in school since March and yet I'm still writing reports... how does that work?
"Daddy's taking his good old time isn't he Ichi-kun, he wants to make mommy go crazy doesn't he?"
"Ahhh!"
How can she turn my own son against me, the little man don't understand that us men have to stick together... he's practically throwing me under a bus to get her attention. However it didn't matter that both of them were sitting on the couch directly behind me hounding me to get the report done, I was taking my time to get back at her. Sakura never told me in the beginning that after I took the notes for this project I would have to put them together ina detailed report that they would have to read and write one of their own on... I hated writing papers.
I could feel two sets of eyes starring at the back of my head which didn't bother me all that much... no it wasn't until I felt the chubby little hand grab a large amount of hair at the back of my head and pull hard did I react. Ichiro was now nearly four months old and with our help he could sit up and lean forward, and for some unknown reason he was oddly fascinated with my spiked hair, not Sakura's which was longer and easier for him to reach, no he only wanted mine.
"Ichi-kun let go of daddy's hair, you're distracting him."
'Oh but the fact he's trying to pull the hair out of my head isn't important.' "Sakura..."
"I'm sorry Sasuke but he's got a really good grip on it, I'm trying honest."
He wouldn't let in and I think her trying to get him to release was only making it worse. "Ichiro!" I could feel both mother and son freeze behind me as my demand for attention tone of voice. "Let go now."
"Sasuke what have I told you about spea-."
"Rrrbbblahhh!" After his shout and the fit of giggles I knew I just put him in I felt the pressure to the back of my head go away meaning he let go, I think Sakura was surprised he actually listened.
"Though I am amazed with how he listens to you Sasuke. I don't like how you talk to him... he's a baby!"
I rolled my eyes knowing she wouldn't see the action, but she gives me the same lecture all the time and it's nothing new. "He needs to know who's boss Sakura, and you babying him all the time he won't learn."
"Sasuke he's barely three mouths old and as far as I see it he's the king of the apartment."
"Excuse me?" I know since his birth Sakura would have her full attention to Ichiro which I was alright with, it was alright that she spoiled the heir to the clan; however claiming he was dominant in this house wasn't going to work.
"Is there a problem Sasuke-kun?"
Trying to act cute wasn't getting her out of this, she knew my ego wouldn't handle any man being held in high regards in her eyes... even if it was my son. "Sakura, you're on a thin line, don't cross it." Mind you I wouldn't do anything to her I just wanted her to take the bait... which she did.
"And what line would that be? Is your masculinity threatened by your own boy?" Sakura smiled playing with Ichiro causing him to laugh.
"Hn." I showed her, while she was playing with him, distracting him from my hair, meant I was able to leave freely without getting anything pulled.
"Sasuke where are you going? You haven't finished the report!"
"I know... I feel emasculated, therefore I can not even bother to think about wanting to finish my notes,"I headed into the kitchen in silence, every minute of silence after that made the smirk on my face grew wider. I knew she was thinking over our last conversation and she was probably thinking I was being a jerk and overly sensitive about the whole thing; but I enjoyed making her angry.
"Sasuke get your butt back in here and finish this!"
"Hn."
I'm sure she was about to jump off the couch and force me back into the room, possibly with the threat of no sex for a month, to finish the paper... had there not been a knock at the front door. I heard the shuffling of soft feet and Sakura complain about how heavy Ichiro was getting, I could confirm that she had gotten up to answer the door; however, I wasn't happy hearing who was on the other side.
"Sai-kun? ...What are you doing here?"
Why was he here was a better question, the actually working part of their project was over with so he did't need to be here anymore; Sakura could bring him my report in school on monday, and did I forget to mention... he shouldn't be here!
"Am I no longer allowed to come here now that the project is over Haruno-san? In the last book I've read on normal teenage behavior friends enjoy each others company... am I to be wrong in assuming that we are friends?"
God I wanted her to say yes and slam the door in his face, but she was too nice to everybody. "No no of course not Sai-kun, we're friends, I was just surprised that's all... would you like to come in?"
"No I actually wished to ask you a few more questions before Sasuke-san turns in the report if that is alright?"
No is wasn't alright with me I didn't want that prick to be alone with Sakura, she knows I'm still angry about what happened the last time but she still sees nothing wrong.
"Um... alright, I don't see any harm in that, let me go talk to Sasuke first okay."
"I will wait outside, the woman next door seems angry I'm standing here for some reason." First time I'm glad to have such a nosy neighbor, maybe the old bat would scare him enough to never come back.
"Sasuke why are you standing right next to the door way? Were you listening into my conversation?" She always hates when I do that whether it be on the phone with Ino or in person with someone else.
"Hn." I wasn't going to lie about why I was standing there, it would be a big waste of time; however, being honest didn't cool her rage either.
"Well then if you were listening you know I'll be out for a little while." She stuck her nose in the air like a spoiled kid while placing Ichiro in my arms. "There's two bottles of milk in the frig. for him and I'll be back around dinner... and finish the report!"
"Sakura you know I don't like when you are alone with him."
"I don't care Sasuke, I'm going to a public place with a friend the same things I do with Ino."
'Yeah only this is a guy that's from a sex cult that you'll be alone with and did I mention... he's a guy!'
"Mommy will be back later Ichi-kun, you be a good boy and don't bother daddy so he can finish his paper."
"Aah!" She didn't say any other word nor acknowledged that I was even standing there, and just left with Sai.
"Hn," If she wanted to play that way then so could I.
"Um Te-Sasuke... why did you drag me out here, I have finals to study for... and I really need to study for them."
"Shut up Dobe."
"Hey! I didn't have to come out here at all you know just because you're sulking, where's Sakura-chan anyway? She's better at dealing with your moods," Naruto looked around the restaurant for Sakura, but I knew she wasn't going to be showing up anytime soon.
"Dobe sit down... she's not coming."
"And why is that, you two aren't in a fight are you? What she at her mother's and you got the baby... care to spill?"
"Hn... she's walking around in the park with this guy in he-."
"Hold up what? Sakura-chan's on a date with another guy after she just had your son a couple months ago... I didn't think it was going down hill."
I quickly yanked Naruto back into his sit, since he still hadn't sat back down since looking for Sakura in the first place... I didn't need him spreading rumors of our break up in the ramen shop. "They're not on a date you moron! He's a classmate that was assigned to do a stupid project with her, he's a new kid and she feels that she needs to be nice to him."
"Oh... and I'm guessing by your response daddy's not happy that mommy's attention is on another guy."
"Naruto, you're pusing your luck."
"And now daddy's mad at me... this is really serious. I can sense you're really not into this new guy... is he a threat to you and Sakura?"
"Hn... I don't have the reasoning to believe it, at least not from Sakura's side. But this kid, I don't know what he's got up his sleeve," I pushed my half eaten ramen away, and I did my head on the table feeling a headache, I rarely get, coming on.
"Oh come on Sasuke, use your resources, hell you practically own half the city... if Itachi got wind of this."
"I'm not getting him involved in my afairs anymore, I just got him to back off with running my life."
"Blahhh!" Ichiro had been quietly sleeping in the stroller I had him in, but apparently it was time for him to eat. While I was busying myself fixing his bottle, Naruto was racking his little brain for some answer which wasn't a good thing.
"Hear me out Sasuke... don't tell Itachi about the part involving Sakura, just tell him there is a guy that is hanging around her and little man, maybe he'll decide how to handle it pass that."
Once I was sure Ichiro had a good grasp of the rubber nipple in his mouth and he wasn't sucking in air to upset his stomach, is when I answered Naruto's stupid question. "And then he'll come to me asking as to why he had to handle my messes, then he'll get into some rant about how I'm not mature enough to run my own life and then we'll be back to square one before Sakura was pregnant."
Because of my rant I nearly missed when Ichiro finished the bottle, having him suck on nothing would cause pockets of air to in his stomach and he would be in pain for a few hours... not something I wanted him to go through. And of course not burping him was out of the question too, I didn't need him throwing up while we were here; I sat him up in my lap and gently patted his back listening for his soft burps.
"Hey if I had an older brother that ruled a major organization and my girl was catching the attnention of another guy I'd use his connections to deal with the punk. I wouldn't want him stealing her from under my nose."
"Remind me not to get on your bad side Dobe, I'd like to live long enough to this little guy get married," I motioned to Ichiro still in my arms.
"Hey... you keep your hands off Hinata-chan and we're cool."
"Aa."
Note: Well more ranting from Sasuke while he's being a good daddy... but he's sulking, this is going to be war... and who knew Naruto could be so deadly. The beginning of the chapter is just a little recap as to what was going on with the couple through Sasuke's eyes.
