Chapter 3: We're… Helping around the House?

Sakura got up from Ino's couch and walked over to the phone. She was so nervous about calling Sasuke. What on earth would she say? Other than of course what she planned to say. How should she start the conversation off? 'Hello Sasuke, I'm just calling to say that I'm so terrified of you that I'm staying at Ino's for a while and, hey, could you send over our son, because I don't want you near him because I want him to be alive for a few more years. Thank you and good-bye you sadistic little-' No. She could definitely NOT say that.

Ino peered around the corner of the kitchen where she was making tea. "Hurry up and call him. The phone can't dial itself." She said, trying to be silly in order to cheer her up.

Sakura looked at her and sighed. "Sorry Ino-Chan, I'm just nervous. I'll hurry." She replied quietly.

Okay.

Here goes.

Now.

Okay… Now.

Now? Yes, now.

With shaking fingers she dialed her home and waited while it rang. It seemed like ages until he picked up.

"This is the Uchiha residence. Sasuke speaking." Sasuke had answered cheerfully. What a fake tone. There was no way he could be truly that happy. Unless…

"Sasuke, this is Sakura. Is Naruto okay?" She said hurriedly. The only way he could ever be that happy was if Naruto was either dead, or severely hurt.

"Oh, it's you." He said, dropping the voice. "He's fine. Where the heck are you?" He asked her angrily. He was hungry and he had no experience with cooking whatsoever.

"I- I'm at I-Ino's house. I- I'm helping her out w-with housework. I-I thought that m-maybe N-Naruto could come and h-help." She answered, trying her hardest not to stutter, but didn't succeed.

"Why do you want him to help? He's lazy and he'd just get in the way." Sasuke said bitterly.

"I thought that, you know, maybe with another person's help, we could get it done faster, and then I could be home quicker." She said, thinking quickly.

For a minute, there was silence on the other end. Then, "Get up brat. You're going to Nara Ino's house right now to help out. And stop your sniffling." Sasuke spat out to someone, Naruto, at their house.

"I'll come get him Sasuke. Don't worry about sending him. I'll make you some dinner when I get there." She said softly, wanting to see Naruto as soon as possible.

"Whatever, as long as he's out of my sight." Sasuke said before slamming down the phone.

Sakura hung up the phone and ran to the door. "I'm going to pick up Naruto; I'll be back soon Ino-Chan." She shouted before dashing out onto the street.

Running as fast as she could, she made it to her own home in less than five minutes. She went up to the door and opened it quickly and fell into her house. "Naruto hunny, hurry up and get your coat dear." She yelled and went into the kitchen. She pulled out some Kimchee and a packet of noodles from the pantry to make Korean-style beef udon.

Why aren't you cooking faster? She ordered the udon. Cook! Cook! Cook! She tapped her food in impatience.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" A voice said from the doorway, causing Sakura to nearly jump out of her skin.

She whirled around to see Sasuke leaning against the doorframe with an empty bottle of sake hanging loosely in his hand. Ugh, he's been drinking. His daily ritual of beating Naruto then drinking himself to death never ceases. She thought. "Oh, no reason, just that Ino asked me to hurry back." She said innocently.

He stumbled over to her and put his bottle on the table on his way. Putting his hands up on the cupboards on either side of her, he trapped her. "I think Ino-Chan can wait…" He said, grinning evilly. He leaned down and pressed his lips into hers in a drunken kiss.

Nearly vomiting she pulled away. "Sasuke, maybe you should go lay down." She said trying to turn around and finish his dinner.

He put a hand on her arm and tightened his grip as he turned her back around. "I don't think that's required." He said as he brought his lips closer to hers once more. But he didn't kiss her; instead he bit her lip, hard.

She whimpered softly as she tasted blood in her mouth. Fine, I'll just have some stupid drunken make-out session of death and then get the heck out of here. She thought as her hand fumbled around behind her to turn off the stove and to make sure his food wouldn't burn. "Sasuke, please, your dinner is ready, and I need to get going." She said turning around and grabbing a bowl and chopsticks from off the counter and started putting udon in the bowl.

"There. Enjoy." She said pushing the bowl in his hands and running out of the kitchen. "Time to go Naruto." She instructed as she grabbed his hand and ran out the door.

"Mama, why are we hurrying?" Naruto asked quietly. He couldn't run well and talking made his throat hurt.

"Because Ino-Chan and Shika-Kun are waiting for us." She explained, realizing he was probably in pain. She slowed down to a walk and held his hand. She still hadn't had a chance to look at him and thought maybe she would need Ino's couch to fall on when she did.

"I'm sorry sweetie. I shouldn't have left you alone." She apologized trying not to cry.

They reached the Nara's home in a few minutes and she knocked on the door. When Shikamaru opened the door he saw something he wasn't expecting.

Sakura had a bloody lip and a bruise forming on her forearm and Naruto… He looked horrible. "Oh my gosh. What the heck happened to him?" He explained.

Expecting the worst, Sakura turned to look at her one and only son and screamed.

DUN DUN DUN! What's happened to Naruto Jr.? YOU SHALL NEVER KNOW!!! MWAHAHAH!!! ::chokes and dies:: anyho.. I have no idea how to cook Korean style Beef Udon, so bear with me people, my friend had just told me she was eating it and hey, why not use it so yea...
