"Enough already! If you two won't stop scratching, I'm going to rip the spots off with a pair of tweezers!"
The blonde boy who was doing everything but biting at the spots that were covering his body, visibly cringed. "Anou….Sakura-chan, I don't think that will help…"
"It won't but it will make me feel a lot better!"
"What is the big deal anyway?"
"Baka! If you keep scratching you will get very ugly scars."
Snorting, Sasuke replied, "We're ninjas, we will get scars eventually."
"Che. I don't plan on having any scars. You don't have to worry, you're going to have a lot anyway, being so weak and all." Naruto scoffed, confident about the whole matter.
"If I do have a lot of scars it'd be because I got sent on more dangerous missions than you."
"I doubt it! I told you already, I'm gonna be hokage one day!"
"I don't think so."
"What? You jerk! I'll--"
"Argh!!! All you two do is argue!"
Sakura had been busy nursing a headache while they argued. Alas, it only grew more intense when she noticed that the two had been scratching and arguing. Not to mention that the thought of her precious Sasuke covered with scars was not something she wanted to imagine.
Now, all this arguing had been going on at a very high level, thus leading to an even more intense headache. How they were not bothered by it with their fevers, was beyond her.
"Sakura! Just what is going on down there?"
Ah, the loudness of their disagreement was apparently heard upstairs as well.
"Eto…nothing Okaa-san!"
"It doesn't sound like nothing! What is all that yelling about?!?"
"It's nothing!" Sakura yelled in reassurance while pleading with wild hand gestures at the two boys to be on their best behavior. What would her mother say when she noticed that she wasn't being the best nurse she could be?
Footsteps descending the stairs could only mean one thing, …her mother wanted visual confirmation that everything was all right. Throwing the two a look, Sakura made sure she looked the part.
When her mother finally arrived before her eyes was Sasuke still reading that random book, Naruto flipping through some magazine, and Sakura diligently attending to them. They were so calm and quiet……they were…hiding something. Their false façade was easily broken through with her sixth sense as a mother.
"Sakura…"
"H-hai?"
"Come with me into the kitchen please."
"Uhn."
Once inside the kitchen, her mother raised an eyebrow silently. Body language for that she was waiting for an explanation.
"Eto….they are just getting on each other's nerves…..and mine…" She finished muttering under her breath.
"Well? Do you know the cause? Or is it that they just don't get along?"
"They're rivals, but it's not really that. …they keep scratching and fighting with me when I tell them to stop."
"Well of course they will keep scratching! Have you given them anything for it?"
"Eh?" Sakura couldn't help but blink stupidly at her mother. Give them something for it? Give them what? "No,….I haven't…."
"Honestly Sakura! How do you expect them to stop if you haven't treated it!? Don't you remember what I used to do for you?"
"….No…"
Her mother sighed heavily. Apparently this was supposed to be obvious. " Go and get a bath ready, you're going to give them a bath.."
"What!?!?" Sakura shouted turning incredible shades of red at once. "I have to bathe them?!?"
Out in the living room she failed to see that the two in there had blanched and paled considerably.
"No, no Sakura! Don't be absurd. You didn't let me finish! What I meant was that you are going to prepare an oatmeal bath for them." Her mother responded quickly hoping to calm her hormonal daughter.
"Oh."
"Now, go."
"Hai!" Sakura responded enthusiastically and grabbed a box of oatmeal from the cupboard and raced past the two in the living room and up the stairs to the bathroom.
Naruto and Sasuke merely stared after her in the direction she had gone, not understanding what was going on after seeing her run up the stairs as if her clothes were on fire. "Eh?" was all Naruto managed to say.
Moments later the pink haired girl returned with a sweet smile on her face as if she had never been angered with them at all. "Okay, who's first?"
"First?"
"Aa. On second thought, you go first Naruto." The girl quickly changed her mind on letting them choose who went first. Naruto was the one who seemed desperate and the one who was quickly getting on her nerves. 'And this means I can spend some time alone with Sasuke, yes!' Her mind yelled.
For one reason unknown yet, Naruto had begun to blush a deep red. "Are …are you planning to bathe me?"
Ah, he had remembered her outburst in the kitchen.
"What?!? You pervert! Of course not!" She immediately screamed not wanting to even imagine such a thing.
"Oh, heh heh okay then." He sighed with relief as she led the way up the stairs and into the bathroom. He may have had a crush on her, but there was no way he would have been comfortable with such a thing.
"The bath has oatmeal in it, it'll help with the itching. Try not to stay in too long or you'll make your fever worst. Come down when you're done so I can get Sasuke's bath ready." She explained calmly while her mind yelled out other things at him. 'I wish you could stay in there all night if it means alone time with Sasuke!'
"Hai." He answered in a sing-song voice as he gently shut the door in her face.
She rushed down the stairs. She wanted to spend as much time with Sasuke alone as she could. "Sasuke-kun do you need any…thing?" She stopped short after seeing that he had dozed off, chin falling to his chest, rising and falling as he breathed deeply.
Sighing, she managed a small smile and placed a blanket on him resisting the urge to kiss him on the cheek now that she had the opportunity. However she knew with her luck, he'd open his eyes at that moment if she had dared to try.
Busying herself with other things her mother asked her to do, she didn't even notice when Naruto had come down the stairs, rubbing his hair dry with a towel. He poked his head into the entranceway of the kitchen with a large smile. "Thank you Sakura-chan that felt really good!"
Again his enthusiasm and bright smile forced her to smile back pleasantly. "You're welcome. I'm glad it helped."
He nodded to reinforce his earlier statement and jabbed a thumb to point behind himself. "Whats up with the loser?"
"You're the only loser here, dobe."
"Ha! I knew you were faking!"
Sakura swallowed hard and thanked the powers above that she really hadn't tried anything. The sneak had been awake the entire time. Calming herself so that her face didn't look like a sun ripe tomato, she past him once more.
"I'll get your bath ready now…"
"Thank you."
Leading the way for him up the stairs as well, she gave him the same instructions to which he simply nodded.
However, she found it hard……to leave.
"Is something wrong?" He was staring at her calmly, wondering why she wasn't leaving. Surely she wasn't thinking of bathing him was she?
If only he could read her mind.
' I'll help you bathe Sasuke! Maybe I really should give you a sponge bath!'
Outwardly Sakura shook her head firmly, not wanting to believe that she had such perverted thoughts. "Um, no. Nothing's wrong. Sorry, I was just thinking about something."
He nodded and shut the door gently in her face much like Naruto had done, but without the cheerful call.
In the living room once more, Sakura found Naruto skimming through a magazine with a look of complete boredom. "How are you feeling?" she asked as she approached him.
He looked up at her and grinned. "Much better. I'm not that itchy anymore. "
She nodded. "Good."
"Ne, Sakura-chan?"
"Hm?"
"I'm….bored."
"Eto….there really isn't much we can do. Sorry."
"No games?"
"I don't really have any games, sorry again."
She started to feel bad. What had she expected them to do for two weeks? Sit and stare at each other?
"That's okay." He suddenly grabbed a napkin from the coffee table and a pen and quickly made a tic-tac-toe grid.
Showing it to her, he smiled. "Do you know how to play?"
"Uhn." she answered with a smile grabbing another pen and placing an "o" in the middle square.
"Hey that's not fair!"
She merely laughed.
By the time Sasuke came down the stairs, they had played a total of 10 tic-tac-toe games. Naruto had won three times, Sakura had won four times and three times had been a tie.
"Wanna play Sasuke-kun?"
"Fine."
After another 10 games, Sasuke had won 6 times and Sakura had won 4 times. She felt proud since he had made such a simple game make her think about where to place her next symbol as if they had been playing chess or checkers.
Of course now Naruto had to challenge Sasuke which resulted in yet another fight. Each round had ended in a tie, but Naruto had insisted that Sasuke had been cheating. How some one could cheat in a game of tic-tac-toe without making it obvious was unknown to both Sakura and Sasuke.
After a while both boys had gradually began to scratch slowly once more. It was then that she realized she had forgotten to replace the oven mitts she had taken off when they went to bathe. "What's wrong guys?"
"Nothing…"
"I'm starting to get really itchy again!"
Somehow their actions brought a flashback of her childhood and what had been done to cure her. Standing up quickly she went to another room and returned with a pink bottle and a box of cotton balls.
"What's that?"
"Calamine lotion. It'll help."
With that, she moved over to Naruto first, always anticipating him to make more of a fuss than Sasuke. Lifting his pajama shirt which he had wisely changed into after his bath, to begin applying the lotion to his back.
How had his clothes gotten there? Well her mother had informed them that Kakashi-sensei had the sense to go to both boy's apartments and get two weeks worth of clothes. At least he was considerate.
"Cold!!" he suddenly shouted out as she placed the cold lotion on the spots on his back.
"I know, but it'll work. Trust me."
True to her word, within seconds the burning sensation of the demand for scratching died down and left him feeling relieved with a cool sensation. Closing his eyes in contentment and relief, he leaned back and allowed her to continue without any more complaints. "Aa. You're right."
Covering his arms and legs with the lotion, Sakura eventually was faced with the task of treating his chest and stomach. She blushed slightly about the whole matter and noticed that he no longer was looking at her but had turned his head away, cheeks tinted red. He was uncomfortable about having her do a gesture that was almost like caressing his chest and stomach too.
She did the task quickly but gently, avoiding eye contact at all times. That done, she placed the oven mitts on him once more while he was still distracted, thus no imitation of roping cattle this time.
Sasuke had been watching some boring program on the television waiting for his turn. His eyes were half lidded, apparently he was very tired. After all with the fever draining away at his energy and the fact that it was getting late, it was expected.
She approached him with the bottle and cotton balls when he looked up at her suddenly. "I'll do it."
His tone was so firm she couldn't help but nod in agreement. "Um, sure." She quickly handed him the lotion and cotton balls and watched as he effectively covered his body with the lotion.
However, her chance to treat him came when it came time to do his back. He simply couldn't reach and seemed like he didn't care and was willing to leave it all together.
"I'll help you." She stated quickly taking the lotion back and waited for him to turn.
"……." He was staring at her silently as if debating something in his mind, when he finally sighed, frowning and turned his back to her wordlessly.
She was quite pleased with this and couldn't help but smile brightly as she began to gently apply the lotion to his back. She only was able to pass it over the spots with a thin layer as he quickly lowered his shirt. "That's enough…..thank you."
Obviously he didn't like being touched more than necessary. She stored this bit of information in her mind for future reference. "Okay." With that she placed his oven mitts back on his waiting hands.
After a few hours of brain melting television, it was finally time for bed. 'This is going to be interesting…" Sakura thought as she lead the two dead on their feet boys to the guestroom. Inside her mother had helpfully prepared two beds that were at opposite ends of the medium sized room.
Naruto immediately glared at the other male teammate. "I have to sleep in the same room as him?!?" He hissed pointing with disgust.
"Naruto! Be grateful! I could always make you sleep on our lumpy couch!"
Finally, the sound of sweet silence as that effectively calmed him down…until later that night that is.
"Sasuke….you awake?"
"Hn."
"Do…your spots still bother you?"
"No."
"Oh. Mine don't either. Good I guess. …night."
"Hn. …night."
The moon's light lit the room with an eerie glow as a owl hooted in the distance. Stars sparkled brilliantly alongside the moon adding to the glow as a silence settled over the entire village. Everyone was asleep resting their bodies for the next day….except for one boy who simply could not fall asleep.
"Sasuke?"
"………."
"Don't ignore me Sasuke! I know you're a light sleeper!"
"…What?!?!"
"Ne, do you think we could get better in less than two weeks?"
"I know I can."
"Jerk."
"Shut up and go to sleep."
"Che. Night to you too."
The night had become darker, now even animals could not be heard as they too had finally fallen asleep. Morning was coming soon after all, they needed to be well rested. Yet, there was still one who had fully fallen asleep.
"Ne, Sasuke, do you think Sakura-chan really hates me?"
"……….."
"Sasuke!!"
"What the hell?!?"
"Do you think Sakura-chan really truly hates me?"
"….No…."
"Really?!?! Do you think she likes me enough to go out with me then?"
"…No…"
"Argh! Why must you be such a jerk?!?"
"I'm trying to sleep you moron! And I'm only stating the truth so shut up!"
"Fine!!"
Only a few moments passed when that whole argument had been forgotten. "Sasuke, I--oof!"
Amazingly a pillow had flown through the air and had landed with pin point precision on his mouth. "Just shut up and sleep you idiot!" Cried a mysterious male voice from across the room.
"Sasuke you bastard! What ya trying to do, suffocate me?!?"
"Possibly."
"Wait till I get my hands on you I'll-- oof!"
Another pillow.
"Naruto! Just shut up!"
In the adjacent room a certain pink haired girl was staring at the ceiling having heard all of this. Her eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep. She knew having both of them in the same room was a bad idea.
