Chapter 4: Birthday Plans

Sasuke and Itachi reached Orochimaru's house later that day. Orochimaru was so happy to see Itachi he hugged and gave Itachi a kiss what seemed to be every five minutes. Orochimaru brought Itachi up to his room to show him something and Sasuke had a chance to talk to Kabuto.

"So you're having his birthday party tomorrow at one o' clock," Kabuto said.

"Yes."

"Who's coming?"

"You guys, Ayame, Neji, Hinata, Kiba, Naruto, TenTen, Gaara, Kazemaru, Zardin, and me of course," Sasuke said counting them on his fingers to make sure he got everybody.

"We'll be there. Orochimaru has already bought about five presents for him. He even got the wrapping paper specially made. You should see it."

"Can I see it?" Sasuke asked.

"Alright come on."

Sasuke followed Kabuto to his room and Kabuto took out wrapping paper that had chibi Orochimaru's kissing a blushing Itachi's on the cheek.

"That's cute."

"Same thing I said when I saw it."

At Ayame's house Gaara and Ayame were reading Gravitation when somebody was at knocking at the door.

"They wait till I'm reading and then decide to come over!" Ayame got up and walk over to the front door and yelled, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Naruto!" Ayame opened the door and stared at him, "Did I come at a bad time?"

"You interrupted her when she was reading, so yeah I would say you came at a bad time," said Gaara from Ayame's coach.

"Naruto what do you want?" Ayame asked in an annoyed voice.

"I came to see if you had the new Yu-Gi-Oh book."

"Yes, I do. If you want to read it you have to read it here though."

"Okay."

Ayame lead them to her room were she kept all her books (she had so many she decided to have a room just to read her books). The room looked like a small bookstore. It had shelves against the wall filled with books (mostly manga) and four recliner chairs.

"There alphabetic so Yu-Gi-Oh would be at the end."

All three of them sat down and started reading when somebody rang the door bell.

"I've had enough of this! Every time I sit down to read, that's when somebody decides to comes over!"

"Has she been like this all day?"

"Ever since you came."

"Who is it?

"It's Tatsu. I locked myself out!" Ayame's older brother said.

"Oh. How did you do that?" Ayame said calm again.

"Well when I went to the bookstore earlier I must have forgotten my key."

"Just make sure you have your key next time."

(Later that day)

"Hello?"

"Hey Gaara. It's Sasuke. I'm coming back now. Meet me at Ayame's house in an hour."

"Alright. Bye."

"Who was that?" Ayame asked.

"Sasuke. He'll be back in about an hour and he wants me to meet him here."

"Wonder why?"

"With Sasuke who knows. He's minds as complicated as a labyrinth."

Inside Ayame really actually knew why and had to put her book up to her face so Gaara couldn't see the smile she was trying to hide.

After Sasuke got off the phone he had a smile on his face. He couldn't what to Gaara saw what he had in plan for Gaara tonight.
