Feelings
Chapter 6: The Invite
by uchihachik
Chappie 6! MWA HA HA HA! This is the farthest I've ever gotten on a fanfiction. Well, technically, FAQ had 12 chapters, but it got torn down. So this is my longest current-running fanfic.
(Itachi's POV)
Flashback
"Aniki! Let's go!" Sasuke called as he reafed on my arm.
"Okay, okay, slow down Sasuke." I insisted.
Yep, that's right, we're going fishing. Just me and Sasuke. Dad was gonna come, but he had to work, so I'm taking Sasuke instead.
(A/N: Now, I'm cutting off for now as that, I've been urged to read some Uchihacest. Awkward, ne?)
"Why don't you go and see if Naruto can come with us?" I suggested, trying to buy myself some free time.
"You'd really take him?" Sasuke asked admiringly.
I sighed."Yes."I replied.
"How about Kiba?"
"Sure."
"Shino?"
"Sure."
"Shikamaru?"
"Okay..."
"Choji?"
"Yes."
"How about...Ummm..."Sasuke began, forcing his seven-year-old mind to think of who else could come.
"I think that's all your friends, isn't it?"I asked.
"Yup!" Sasuke replied enthusiastically. Then he quieted, "Aniki?" he asked timidly.
"Hmmm?"I asked.
"Can you come with me to get them? I don't wanna go out alone..."
I sighed again."Sure."
"Yaaay!"Sasuke chirped.
So much for free time...Now I'm on baby-sitting duty...Oh, well. The kids look up to me, so I guess they'll listen to me.
"Aniki...Help me, please.."Sasuke wimpered. He was trying to put on the backpack that had our supplies in it, 3 fishing rods, bait, snacks, a camera, and a garbage bag to carry home whatever we catch. Sasuke was attempting to put it on and was getting entangled in the straps. I detangled him from it and put it on him correctly, snappng the buckles and such for it to fit properly.
"Let's go." I suggested, and we headed off, Sasuke having to run to keep up with my steps. "Aniki! Wait up!" he whined as I gained a slight distance ahead of him.
"Why don't I carry you?" I suggested.
"Okay!"he said. I kneeled down and he hopped on my back. I straightened up to my full height and began walking. We reached Naruto's house and knocked on the door.
The door creaked open to reveal the pyjama-clad Kyuubi boy whiping his eyes tiredly. "Hello..?" he asked.
"Wanna come fishing with us!" Sasuke squealed.
"Okay!" Naruto said, regaining his usual perkiness. "Wait here while I get dressed." he insisted, and retreated back inside his lonely apartment. He re-emerged wearing his usual orange attire and goggles."Let's go!" he said happily, bounding to where I stood.
I began walking in the direction of the Inuzuka boy, Kiba's house.
"Where are we going?" Naruto inquired.
"We're gonna see if Kiba can come." I replied.
"Okay!" Naruto exclaimed.
At Kiba's...
(Kiba's POV)
"Moooomm! Where's Akamaru?" I yelled, despite the fact that she was in the same room as me.
"Why?"
"We're playing hide-and-seek!" I replied, looking proud of myself.
"Oh. I think he's under your bed." my mom replied.
"Thanks!" I yelled again and darted up the stairs and into my room, diving under my bed to where my dog was."Found you!" I exclaimed.
"Arf."(Yes, I know.) was all that the white dog said. There was a knock at the door but I paid no attention to it, playing with my dog.
"Kiba! Sasuke is at the door for you!" my mom called upstairs.
"Coming!"I called back, and rolled out from under my bed, Akamaru coming with me. I got to my feet and slid down the banister of the stairs, Akamaru hopping down each stair behind me. I made my way to the front door and looked out past my mom, who was standing in the doorway and talking to Sasuke's brother.
"Kiba, Sasuke's brother..."
"Itachi." said ninja answered.
"Wants to take Sasuke and his friends fishing and you're invited to come, do you wanna go?"(A/N: Oh my god, Kiba's mom sounds lame in this part...) my mom asked.
"Can Akamaru come?" I asked.
(Itachi's POV)
Gazes shifted to me.
"Sure." I replied.
"Okay! I wanna come, then!" Kiba exclaimed.
"Alright, Kiba. Do what Itachi says and don't get too wet. Ah, nevermind. If you do, here's an extra change of clothes." she magically got a pair of pants and a hoodie (A/N: Like Kiba wears...) and passed them to me. Mom's always seem to be able to do that...I put Sasuke down and unzipped his backpack, setting the clothes inside and zipping it back up.
"I'll have him back tomorrow night."I said.
"Alright. Bye, honey, have fun." Kiba's mom said and hugged the small boy goodbye, planting a motherly kiss on his forehead.
"Bye, mom." Was all the dog-boy said.
"Time to get Shino!" Sasuke exclaimed.
At the Aburame residence...
(Shino's POV)
I sat in the backyard, talking to my best friend, Jimmy, eating watermelon.
"Don't you love watermelon, Jimmy?" I asked.
"..." No comment.
"Yeah, it's so sweet. Especially now that it's in season." I said.
"..." Still nothing.
"It must be great to eat watermelon, and you don't get it very often, and that's because you're a beautiful monach butterfly."
"..."
"Shino." I jumped as my mom appeared behind me.
"Y-Yes?" I asked.
"Sasuke has invited you to go fishing with him, his brother, and his other friends and sleepover tonight. Do you want to?" She asked quietly.
"Sure." I replied as quietly as she asked.
"Then come out front. You can bring Jimmy with you." She said.
"He might get hurt if I bring him. I'll leave him here." I insisted, setting down Jimmy on the watermelon bowl. I stood up and followed my mom to the front of the house.
(Itachi's POV)
"Hi Shino!" Sasuke exclaimed as said bug-boy came into view of the doorway.
"Hi." Was all the dark-haired boy said.
"I'll see you tomorrow night, Shino." His mom said.
Shino nodded.
He walked down and next to me, passing me a pair of pyjamas that I placed in the bag.
"He'll be no problem." Shino's mom said to me.
I nodded.
Then, as we began to walk, except Sasuke was on my back...still. But anyways,
"Mister Sasuke's Brother?" Kiba asked.
"Yeah?"
"Who else do we hafta pick-up?" Kiba asked.
"Choji and Shikamaru." I replied.
"Ah." Kiba commented.
At Choji's House...
(Choji's POV)
I was watching TV while eating potato chips, when all was disturbed by...a knock at the door. I ignored it, too interested in TV to care.
"Choji! Get the door!" My mom called.
I groaned, but didn't move.
I heard footsteps down the stairs as my mom came into view. "Choji! I told you to get the door!"
"Mmmmm..." Was all I said.
"Oh! Forget it!" Mom sighed, throwing open the door. "Hello-" But she was cut-off. The boy who stood at the doorways was so...attractive. True, he looked a lot younger than she was, but he was just sooo good-looking! (A/N: Back-off Choji's mom! He's MINE! XD)
Anyways, back with Choji...
I heard muffled voices but ignored them.
"Choji! You're going fishing with Sasuke!" Mom ordered.
"But Mmmooommm! I wanna watch TV!" I begged.
"No, Choji! You're getting outside, and you're going to spend some time with your friends!" Mom insisted.
"Well, I'm not getting up!"
(Itachi's POV)
Judging by the way Choji's mom was staring, she must like me, or something...Scary. Hmmm...Ah, an idea!
"We've got food in this bag..." I said, just loud enough for the severly obese boy to hear.
Suddenly, his staring, daydreaming, heart-eyed mom was pushed out of the way by the large boy.
"Lemme get this straight, you've got food?" He asked.
"Yes..." I replied.
His eyes shone with hope as he lunged at me, wrapping his arms around my waist. Threfore, Sasuke fell off.
"Get. Off." I ordered, pushing the fat boy off me. He just clung to me more desperately.(A/N: Does everyone like Itachi or something, today?)
"Sasuke." I called. The boy automatically hopped up off the ground.
"Yes?" He asked.
"C'mere..." I ordered.
And, so little Sasuke walked beside me and I unzipped the backpack and took out...DUN DUN DUN! a twinkie!
"Here, doggy fetch.." I said, tossing the twinkie to the ground. He automatically leapt off me and pounced on the twinkie, devouring it. This would make a pretty gross show: "Today we're going to study the eating habits of the wild Choji..."
"Alright, we gotta go...We still gotta find Shikamaru..." I said, inching away from Choji's mom who had slightly made her way closer to me.
"He's mine, Choji's mom! Get lost!" uchihachik appeared and grabbed me(A/N: It's still Itachi's POV...) as though I was a object and hugs me close to her. She growled deeply and glared competitively at Choji's mom. Choji's mom tackled uchihachik and I went flying. I automatically straightened myself and landed gracefully on the ground.
Meanwhile, uchihachik and Choji's mom were in a heated battle, Choji's mom had bit uchihachik's arm, and uchihachik was kicking her desperately. uchihachik kicked harder, and Choji's mom's teeth released it's grip and she went skidding across the sidewalk, coming to a halt at my feet.
Now, I definately liked this 12-year-old girl better than the large 30-something-year-old hag...
"Can we just go?" I asked.
"S-sure..." Choji's mom said, straightening-up and dusting herself off. "Bye Choji, I'll see you tomorrow night."
All Choji did was grunt.
TBC...
This'll be continued next chappie! Yay!
I think this fishing scene is kinda cute, and the chapter was low on humour, so I threw a funny part in, with the fght between me and Choji's mom. The twinkie part was for fun, too.
Bye,
