''Did you understand, Haruno-san?'' said the rusty voice annoyingly on the other side of the line. Sakura rolled her eyes disinterested while her foot was nervously rattling on the cement floor outside of the glassy, huge and modern building.
''Mhm'' she gave as a reply. The man sighed impatiently.
''Could you take it more seriously, please?!'' he screamed in the phone with annoyance. '' And take that damn lollipop out of your mouth, I know you have it! And talk to your elders with more respect! What kind of behavior is that? Who raised you?''
Sakura took the lollipop out of her mouth. ''Good question old geezer! I'd take everything more seriously the moment you stop acting as if we're in a James Bond movie.''
''What did I ever do wrong?'' The man asked himself. ''Anyway, just do what I told you! And don't call me or you'll also be in danger. Don't worry about your old man, I'll be fine.''
''Never even started worrying.'' Sakura informed flatly.
''What? Oh, you little ungrateful bastard! I've done so much for you these years, that's how you thank me? I can die any moment! Do you realize that?!''
''Greet mother from me when you do so.'' The man chuckled satisfied.
''That's my girl. Strong and showing no emotion, I raised you right!'' He praised himself pleased.
''You didn't raise me at all'' she murmured under her nose. Her father didn't hear her.
''You have the keys, explain the situation to Uchiha-san. He'll understand and help you. We are old friends and he owns me a lot.''
'' I know.''
''Good, then I guess I'll hear from you in couple of weeks.''
''Unless you die.''
''Just hear yourself.'' The man laughed. ''Take care, Haruno-san.'' He hung up. Sakura sighed and looked skeptical at the building. She put her mobile phone in her pocket, took her suitcase and entered. Her father had told her to go to the eleventh floor, the number of the apartment was written on the keys he'd sent her this morning in an envelope.
It was the first time she had to move to friends of her father at a such short notice. This only meant he was in a very bad situation since even the security and all the bodyguards were going with him, leaving his only child unprotected. But then again maybe this was the protection he was giving her. Anyways it's not like she cared, she was used to living like that.
Sakura put her suitcase beside the door and looked around. She knew nobody was home, that's why she didn't even bothered to knock, but she needed time to get used to this new atmosphere in which she will be living for the next couple of weeks … or very possibly months. She took a deep breath and headed to the refrigerator. A teen girl's best friend. For a such modern and well furnished apartment it was odd to find the refrigerator with just butter, cheese, tomatoes and some greenish thing that looked suspicious enough for Sakura to close the door and sigh. She decided to take a bath and wait for the owner. Hopefully he would not come home empty handed.
After the long shower Sakura looked through her clothes in the suitcase to find something clean. At that moment the apartment's door opened and a tall man in a business suit walked in. He looked very shocked and surprised to find a naked girl with just a towel covering her in the middle of his living room. Sakura didn't give any indication that she was shocked or stunned by the sudden appearance of the apartment's owner. She looked at him head to toe and decided he looked good enough for business man.
''You must be Tobi-chan'' she said to the young man in front of her. ''I guess my father told you of my moving in for the time being''
''T-tobi-c-chan?'' the man stuttered ''Who the hell are you and who the hell is Tobi-chan?''
''You're not Tobi?'' she said a bit worried. ''Oh right I guess you hate when people call you that, I meant Obito-san.''
''Obito? No I am not. I'm his nephew. Who are you?'' the man demanded.
''Oh Jesus'' Sakura said to herself ''I guess this is how it's ought to be''
