Chapter 9

"Hey! What are we doing here again?" A black long black haired boy asked as he tied his right side hair to a ponytail.

A man in black Chinese dress smiled at the boy's question. "Well," he tapped his chin with the spatula that he was holding. ",Hiashi-sama called and told us to work for the whole week, he said that they will be visiting."

A faced bandaged man grunted, gaining the attention of the two first speakers. "What?" then he looked at his own Chinese dress. "Is Chinese our uniform for today? What day is it again?" he looked at the calendar.

"Today is Saturday, so that means, Chinese uniform today." Said a man whose color is blue and was wearing a black Chinese dress. "Itachi, why did you chose Chinese dress for Saturdays? And why does Haku wear the lady's dress style? Isn't he a he!"

Itachi looked at his friend then to Haku, "Now, what's wrong with that? Haku-chan looks like a girl, so what's wrong? The dress suits him."

Haku smiled. He's wearing a silver Chinese dress with slits starting from the thighs and ends up at the toes and was printed with a golden dragon slithering from the sides of his dress. "Don't worry, Kisama-san, I don't mind at all." He continued to tie his hair, deciding that he would pigtailed it.

Kisame, sighed. Looking at his green Chinese clothes, like Haku's dress slits, it starts from the thighs and ends up at the toes, but the guys' clothes have pants underneath their slits. "I don't like this at all." He walked back in the kitchen. "Zabuza!"

The bandaged guy looked at Kisame. "What is it?"

"Help me clean the kitchen, here." He called.

Zabuza pouted but entered the kitchen. "I thought Kabuto's in the kitchen! I saw him there a while ago."

Then the front door opened, revealing two men in black and white Chinese dress. The one has long black hair, and partially covering half of his face, his Black dress has a print of a white snake that slithers around the whole dress, while the other guy in with Chinese dress has a print of a white snake that slithers around it's upper dress, he has long silver hair that was tied up at the back in ponytail and he was wearing glasses.

"Speak of the devil." Kisame and Zabuza poked their heads out of the kitchen and looked at each other. "Oh my dog, did I see his dopple a while ago?" Kisame hit Zabuza's head.

"Riiiiiiight." Itachi and Haku chorused as they laid eyes on the two. "The master and the servant's in." Itachi spoke up.

The silver haired guy snapped at what Itachi said. "We're here." He said.

"Itachi-kun, I thought that we will be close for today." Said the Snake like dude.

Itachi sighed, "Well, haven't you listened when I called you yesterday?" the two shook their heads. "Figures. Well, Hiashi-san called me and told us to open because they will be visiting with some guests. So then, we need to open today." He grinned a childish grin.

"Anyways, have you seen, Temari-chan and Kankuro-san?" Haku changed the topic.

And entered a girl in a gold Chinese dress with four pigtails, and a boy with war paints on his face in black Chinese dress, "Sorry we're late, we got lost on the way." She panted.

"Sorry about that." Said the boy with war paint.

"Temari-chan, Kankuro-kun, so glad you came." A woman dressed in crimson red Chinese dress placed her hand on Kankuro's and Temari's shoulder.

"Deidara, you're quite late, what happened?" Itachi raised an eyebrow. "Anyways, I should be familiar with that, you were the number one tardy when we were at Akatsuki." He shook his head with a mocking face.

Gripping harder at Temari's and Kankuro's shoulder, forcing a smile, then she walked over at the counter, where Itachi is, she made snapping sounds from her knuckles. "Yea, I knew that…"

Itachi gave her a nervous smile and she implanted her knuckled hand on Itachi's head.

"That should do it." she clapped her hands clean and smiled at Itachi who is half unconscious.

Haku, poked Itachi and his lump on the head. "Are you still alive, Mr. Manager?" Poking Itachi.

"The world, it's going round and round and round and round and roooooound!" then he fainted.

Panicked, "Waaaaaaaaaaaa! Itachi-san's dead!" then he looked for pulse. "Oh he's not dead, he just fainted…sorry." He let go of Itachi's wrist carelessly. "Anyways, since we still don't have any customers…" Haku looked over at the karaoke they have. "Let's sing first!"

Deidara clasped her hand in joy, "Sure! Nice idea, Haku-chan!"

"That'll be great!" Temari jumped up and down.

Itachi owns the restaurant, and he, Kisame and Deidara quit Akatsuki. Kabuto and Orochimaru, gave up on destroying Konoha. Haku and Zabuza are not dead and joined Itachi on his restaurant and Temari and Kankuro…ummm, they got lost in their way home and ended up with Itachi and all…(Ire: FORGIVE ME!)

…. Okay outside the restaurant, around 50 yards away…

Naruto sat under one of the cottages in the beach. Staring blankly at the brilliant blue water. He sighed, folded his arms at the table and placing his chin on his arm. I wonder what Sasuke is doing…then he snapped back. Slapping his self Come on! He lied! He told you that he was listening at what you are saying, which was important, but he really wasn't listening, then he fought Neji and Gaara, again! He thought, but he sighed and pouted. That was kind of low. Getting mad at him and Gaara and Neji, just because of that, I am an idiot!

"Naaaaaaaaruto-kun!" ringed in the ears of the blond boy and made him clutched his heart out of bewildermenr. Blinking at the sight, Sakura cocked her head at her side. "Naruto-kun, what's wrong?"

"Don't!" Naruto raised a finger at Sakura, other hand still clutching his chest. "Do that ever again, Sakura-chan, I may have a heart attack." Then he sighed. "No, nothings wrong, I am alright." He gave her a fake smile.

She gave her a bored look and raised a dangerous eyebrow. "Naruto-kun, we've been teammates and friends for such a long time." She said as she place a hand on his hand and gave him a concerned look. "And I know, I really know actually, that you are not alright, especially that you jumped out of your skin a while ago." She gave a small smile at her friend. "Surely enough, you can tell me all kinds of problems, I'll be your shoulder to lean on." She said and held Naruto's hands.

Naruto gave a porcelain smile at Sakura. He nodded in return. "Well, to tell you the truth, I want to say sorry to Sasu-ch… I mean Sasuke-teme…" he said as he avoided Sakura's eying expression. "Well, we've been enemies ever since, I think birth, but I want to say sorry this once…for some apparent reasons." He blushed a little.

"Hmm-hn," Sakura smiled slyly at Naruto. "Apparent reasons, eh?" she leaned forward to look at Naruto, but the blond backed off a little. " You want me to help you?" she offered.

Naruto shot a look at her, seeing the sly look on her face, that disappeared when she realized Naruto was looking at her, he thought for a while. I like the offer, but that look on her face a while ago…that was creepy. But I really want to say I am sorry to Sasu-chan…No choice! "Okay, please help me, Sakura-chan!"

"Sure!" she held out her hand and so Naruto shook it. This will be easy! Wahaha! Luckily I got over the Sasuke cravings and noticed this event. "This is all you need to do, Naruto-kun." She leaned at Naruto and whispered something on Naruto's ear.

"Eh? That's all? That's all I have to do?" he said as Sakura backed away from him. "But how could I say that I am sorry?"

"Oh, dish, dosh, Naruto-kun! Believe me!" she said as she chuckled. "You worry too much! You'll get old easily with that bad habit of yours!

"Aa…" Naruto gave her a very I-don't-think-I-chose-the-right-person-to-help-me look. "Sakura-chan? Are you sure you are alright?"

Sakura gave him a toothfull grin and nodded, she pulled Naruto out of his chair and dragged him to the sand.

Ire: Change the scenes! Sasuke come in!

Walking mindlessly, Sasuke kicked off a shell and when he looked at where the shell landed, he saw Itachi's restaurant, which is he don't know, and was named as 'Aka no Tsuki.' He thought for a while before he walked his way to the said place.

"This restaurant…it's really giving me some creeps." He spoke up as he stood in front of the door.

Before he could came in, he heard a voice…who was singing a love song of some sort…

Ienakatta

1000 no kotoba wo

Lalalala..

Kimi no senaka ni okuru yo

Tsubaksa ni kaete

Was he heard, and then he entered the room. Surprised on what he saw, Haku, who was in a girl's Chinese dress and was singing with full of emotions, Kisame, who's grumbling at a seat wearing a green Chinese clothes, Deidara, who's at Haku's left clapping hysterical, wearing her crimson Chinese dress, Temari, which is also clapping and acknowledging Haku's singing abilities, she wears a golden Chinese dress, at her side is Kankuro, who is obviously sighing his heart out, wearing a black Chinese dress, then at his side, Zabuza, actually transfixed at Haku, ruffling the hem of his gray Chinese dress. Near at the counter, Orochimaru, wearing his detestable Black Chinese dress with the snakes and thingies, was trying to unclothed his side kick Kabuto, was nearing the unclothed one, half of his clothes are on the floor now, while at the counter, who was musing at the singing Haku, wearing a black, of course Chinese dress, printed with red clouds and eyes red as the reddest blood you'll ever see, was Uchiha, Itachi…who's hair was on pigtails…

Sasuke's sharingan was activated obviously he didn't notice that. Continuing the song, because nobody noticed Sasuke entered the building cause they were all busy from what they were doing in their seats…especially Orochimaru and Kabuto. (Ire: -vomits-)

Kikoeteru?

1000 no kotoba wa

Lalalala..

Kimi no senaka ni yorisoi

Lalalalala...

Claps and cheers erupted from Deidara and Temari, a mere cheer just escaped Zabuza, Itachi smiled at him, clapping his hands. Haku bowed politely with a smile saying 'thank you's' and all that. When he noticed the other Uchiha at the entrance.

"Aaa! Customer! Everybody at his or her places!" he announced.

Itachi straightened his clothes and stood next to the cashier, Kabuto and Orochimaru bolted, Kabuto ran towards the kitchen, Orochimaru jumped the bar at the counter; Deidara and Temari went to their places, (they're waitresses!) Kankuro simply made his way to the kitchen so as Zabuza, and to Kisame's delight he followed Zabuza and Kankuro in the magical kitchen.

Haku ran towards Sasuke, Pigtails bouncing at his back…he bowed down and greeted him. "Irrashaimasen, okiyak-sama." He said politely as he stood up. His eyebrows went sky high. "Aiyama, Sasuke-san, Janeka? Waa, Itachi-sama no daisetsuna otouto?" he clasped his hand. "Yoroshiku!"

Flickering red-hot anger at Sasuke. But Haku didn't notice. "How may I help you?" he asked sweetly.

"What is this…restaurant?" he asked plainly.

"Ramen, karaoke restaurant, sir. Why don't you come in and try some of our Ramens?" he smiled at Sasuke, and led him in.

Sasuke made his seat at the counter near the cashier. Itachi saw his baby brother.

"Waaaaaaa! Daisetsuna Otouto!" he hugged Sasuke over the counter.

"Aaarg! Off of me you piece of…piece of…something!" He nudged his brother away.

Itachi, who's in pigtails, back away and looked at his brother, "Waaai! So you're the guest Hiashi-same was talking about." Itachi pinched Sasuke's cheek. "Aren't you so cute, Baby Brother." He smiled sweetly.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes at his brother. "Aniki, stop that smile…" Itachi pouted. "That too! You're creeping the hell out of me." hair stood up at the sight.

"Well…" Itachi was pushed by a big white blur. Crashing to the wall he could tell by the damage it made.

"So, what do you want to order then, Sasuke-kun?" Orochimaru looked at Sasuke with the most perverted eyes you could ever see, even Jiraiya, Kakashi and Ebisu couldn't do that.

But Sasuke…he wasn't crept out much, he just avoided Orochimaru's eyes and mouthed. "I want a miso ramen."

"Hey, Orochimaru! No pushing of people, please." Kisame looked said through the hole that the impact Itachi made. "How many times do I need to tell you that? You've already wrecked this part of the store, around 30 times…now this, again." Kisame sighed. "And our manager, who was suppose to be strong and all, was always thrown to the wall, by some mere snake shit." Kisame muttered as he continued his work. "What did the kid say? He wanted miso ramen? Kankuro! Please make one Miso Ramen,"

"Hai, Kisame-sama." Kankuro lazily replied and started his cook.

"Who's that kid?" Kabuto looked over. "Uchiha…Sasuke…" he glared at the boy who looked at him with a blank look. "I want to be the one who'll cook his food, you got that, Shark-ass, Browless-crap, Paint-freak!" he called in the kitchen.

"Who are ya calling Browless-crap?" Zabuza threw Kabuto a butcher knife without looking.

Kabuto easily dodged it. "Who else is browless here and acts like crap?" he replied back. He threw back the knife Zabuza threw.

"What?" Zabuza ducked.

Kisame caught the knife without effort. "Okay, starting a fight again? And stop calling me Shark-ass, Fuck toy." Kisame muttered as he continued to fix the hole Itachi made. "If something breaks, you two will have to pay for it by your salary!" he reminded the two as they were to begin the ever famous "Battle against Cooks" that what Itachi and the other Hyuugas named it.

"He started it!" they both pinpointed at each other.

"You started it, Fuck-toy!" Zabuza murmured under his breath.

"You're the one who threw the knife at me, Browless-crap!" he snapped back.

Vein popping out of her forehead, Deidara came in the kitchen and bumped Kabuto's and Zabuza's heads. "Assholes." She then straightened her dress up.

Temari walked over at Sasuke and sat near him. "Ne, Sasuke-kun, something is really not right about you?" Temari cocked her head side wards. "Is something missing in or on you?" she asked, tapping her chin with a finger.

Looking bored and everything, he replied. "Not something, someone, actually." He folded his arms at the counter and buried his face in it.

"Oh, heartbroken? I can mend that up." Orochimaru cupped his chin.

Haku slapped his hands away from Sasuke, "Hands off the Uchiha, Snake-skin-perverted-asshole lame excuse for a god damn bastard." Haku glared at Orochimaru.

A loud cheer erupted inside the Kitchen. "Wooohoo! You go Haku!" Zabuza clapped his hands through the air. "Show Fuck-toy's master what he deserves!"

"You, shut the freakishly fucking hell up." Kisame planted his fist on Zabuza's head. Kabuto laughed, rolling over at the floor. "And you." Kisame slammed his fist on Kabuto's face. "Help, Kankuro there."

"Yes, Chief-chef." They both replied and went on.

Haku looked concerned at Zabuza. "Aaa, Zabuza-san, please be sure to take care of yourself." He looked through the holed wall and saw Zabuza waving back. "OK, so you said that it was someone that is missing, right?" he looked at Sasuke. And he nodded. "Okay, let us guess…" Deidara joined in.

"Was that someone I knew?" Temari asked.

"Yes"

"Someone…someone who is special to you?" Haku smiled at him.

"Must be, since I miss that person a lot."

"Some one that is hot and powerful?" Deidara asked and earned death glares. "Okay…"

"Yeah, he's like that."

"Haha! I found one! Even though I don't know who." Deidara punched the air.

"Is that someone, I already fought?" Haku asked with some hesitations.

"Yeah, you did."

"Okay…" a smile played on Haku's lips I think I know…

"Huh? So if Haku fought with that person…maybe I did too. Hey, did that someone fought me or Gaara?" Temari asked.

"Gaara."

"Let me guess…Blond, blue eyed, has whiskers like scars, really cute in orange or black or anything he wears, a year younger than you, loud mouthed, inspiring and drop dead CUTE?" a voice asked Sasuke.

"Yup, he's pretty much like…Hey!" he saw Itachi grinning with a triumphant look on his face. "ANIKI!"

"I know his love, I know my precious baby brother's love!" he squealed like a little girl. "Can I guess the name?" he turned chibi and jumped over the counter table.

"Sure, go a head. Damn you."

"Uzumaki, Naru-chan, ne?"

"Uzumaki, Na-ru-to! I am the only one who is allowed to call him Naru…Aniki!" Sasuke tried to choke his brother lifeless, unfortunately, here comes the pink-monster trailed by the…blond angel. "Naruto…" Sasuke jumped off his seat and ran in the counter hiding under the counter table. "If that girl asked you if you saw me, tell her that you didn't!" he said. Turning chibi and all that cute thingies.

Raising an eyebrow. "I didn't know that Uchiha-san's that cowardly." Haku shrugged and greeted Sakura and Naruto. "Irrashaimasen, Okiyak-sama." Haku, Deidara and Temari bowed.

"Temari?" Naruto looked at her. "Hey how have you been?" then he noticed Haku. "Ha-Haku? Is that really you? You look…really like a girl I may tell, cuter than Sakura-chan and Temari to be honest." Then he got two lumps on the head. "Okay, note to self. Never say the truth about Haku whenever a girl is with me."

"Anyways, have you seen Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked. "Neji and Gaara told us that Sasuke walked off after setting foot on the sand."

"Umm…we did see him a while ago, he passed here for ramen." Haku looked over the counter.

"Hey! One miso ramen!" Kisame placed the bowl of ramen. "Huh? Funny…I thought…" he was cut off when Itachi covered his mouth and pulled him at the floor.

"Ahaha, that ramen was made for me…hehe…okay time to dig in, Itachi." Itachi took the bowl and gave it to Sasuke under the table.

"Uhh, Ita-nii, what are you doing? Placing the ramen under the table." Naruto asked Itachi.

"Ohh, that moved me, Naru-chan! You called me Ita-nii…"

"Oh, oh, oh! That reminds me, since we have a karaoke here, and we don't have much customers yet, we could sing!" Deidara entered, then she walked in the counter and winked at Itachi.

First he raised an eyebrow, then he noticed Deidara's finger, it was pointing at Sasuke. Then he nodded, stretching his arms and 'accidentally' knocked Orochimaru off his ground. That's for a while ago!

"Oh, my dog! Orochimaru!" Deidara acted and crouched at the floor, acting like she was helping Orochimaru, but the truth was she whispered at Sasuke's ear. "Let us help you with this." Then she picked Orochimaru and hung him at her shoulders. "Alright, I think he needs rest. I'll just bring him to his side kick."

"Okay, I'll return to the kitchen." Kisame followed Deidara.
