Sasuke Has a Fever!
CHAPPY…. tada SIX!
I had a dream last night that I owned Naruto… Oh, my silly fantasies…!
The time was 11:45. Sasuke was stretched out on his sofa on the verge of falling asleep. Sakura was finishing her packing and began waiting at the door with an impatient Naruto. The seconds went by like years as the three just sat around… waiting.
Ten minutes rolled on by. Sasuke's eyes were constantly batting in an attempt to stay awake. Sakura still sat there in profound thought while Naruto counted each strand of hair on his head. This silence continued for a little while until Sasuke broke in with something, partly as another attempt to keep himself conscious.
"It's 11:55 now… You can leave early if you want." As he said this, he realized that it'd be better for Sakura to leave as soon as possible so Ino wouldn't start any arguments with her. It'd only worsen the headache that been bothering him for the past few hours.
"4,022, 4,023, 4,024…" Naruto counted away.
"I want to complete my shift." Sakura stated, her voice bland from utter boredom.
Again, nothing but silence. Naruto was still counting, Sakura began to stare at pictures hanging on Sasuke's wall, and on his coffee table, and Sasuke sat still occasionally slapping his forehead to keep himself busy with something. No one spoke (for the exception of Naruto who continued to count his hairs) for awhile after Sasuke gave Sakura and Naruto his "consent" to leave. Sakura was just about to speak up when the door flung open. Ino stood there with Shikamaru and Chouji behind her in a rather cheesy pose that Ino created herself (and forced Shikamaru and Chouji to join her in).
"We're here!" Ino shouted, almost cracking the windows, vases, picture frames, mirrors, and glass figurines (that his mother used to collect) that sat around the apartment. As well as that, it almost cracked Sasuke's skull. The sound of her yelling definitely got rid of Sasuke's drowsiness.
"Do you have to scream?" Shikamaru sighed as he made his way past Ino, into the apartment to find a place to sit. Chouji quickly followed his friend as he munched on a bag of chips.
"Since they're here, I guess it's time for us to leave." Sakura said, pulling Naruto out of the door. She, too, was trying to avoid a fight with Ino.
It surprised Sasuke to see Ino pay no kind of attention to Sakura as she and Naruto left. He was beginning to go under the impression that there really wasn't going to be anything to worry about. Unfortunately, he was wrong…
"First thing's first!" Ino said with an authorizing tone. "You'll have to take this medicine Tsunade-sama gave to us to give to you! It will make you feel all better so you can take me out places sooner!"
"Who said I was going to take you out anywhere?" Sasuke stated coldly as he snatched the bottle away from Ino and proceeded his way to the kitchen to get his measuring spoon.
"Don't you want me to serve it to you?" Ino said in an attempt to sound innocent and sweet.
"He obviously doesn't." Shikamaru said in a usual tone. "Quit being such a pain in the ass." He began to reach for an abandoned Playstation 2 controller and engaged in a wonderful game of Final Fantasy X (don't ask why Sasuke has this at his house).
"Yay!" Chouji exclaimed. He likes video games.
Sasuke coolly and calmly walked back into his room to just sleep their shift away. This would be his strategy for the whole week. He'd make sure he's sleep through each of their shifts. He aimed for this because basically he'd be asleep for each day of that week, adding up to him being asleep for the whole week. He thought the plan was perfect, but things weren't going to turn out the way he had hoped.
Two hours later, Sasuke was abruptly awakened by Chouji, steadily holding a spoonful of the putrid medicine in his face.
"Medicine." He simply stated almost in a way that made him seem like some foreign guy that didn't know any English for the exception of the word "medicine".
"What the hell?" Sasuke fussed groggily as he sat up. He gave Chouji an unsteady, sleepy glare as he reached for the spoonful.
As he reached, Chouji quickly (but steadily) pulled the spoon back. And wagged a finger at Sasuke.
"Uhn, uhn, uhn…" Chouji said in a "motherly" tone. "You are sick. I will give you the medicine."
All Sasuke could do was sit there and stare at him. Partly with confusion, partly with annoyance, and partly with drowsiness. Considering Chouji would probably never leave until he gave in and that fact that his eyelids were growing heavier by the second, he just laid back as a gesture to let Chouji go on ahead.
"Good." Chouji said half motherly and half like the Cookie Crisp dog. "Say 'Aaaaaaah'!" His "aaaaaaah" was a long and whispery one that let out hints of his potato chip breath.
Sasuke opened his mouth barely enough for Chouji to drop the spoonful in.
"Choo, choo, choo, choooooo…!" Chouji stopped abruptly. "Uh oh… the tunnel isn't big enough for the train to get through!"
This was seriously disturbing and boring Sasuke. He let out a brief yawn, but long enough for Chouji to swipe the spoon in and out of his mouth.
"Thank yoooooou!" Chouji sang as he skipped away. That guy could seriously make Sasuke wonder.
Sasuke pulled the covers over his head and sighed. Soon enough, he fell asleep once again.
"Sasuke?" No answer.
"Saaaasuke?" Still no answer.
"Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssukeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee……"
Sasuke's eyes snapped open. He almost automatically looked at the clock and saw the time was 4:15. Then his eyes met with the one who woke him up. No other than Inuzuka Kiba.
"Ino's team left?" Sasuke asked, getting up from bed. He figured it was time for his –gag- medicine.
"Yep." Kiba stated, trying to sound cool in front of Sasuke.
Sasuke staggered into the family room were he saw Shino sitting there, blankly watching television. Hinata was in the kitchen making soup and getting Sasuke's medicine ready. Akamaru was just walking around the room, occasionally sniffing something to see if it's edible.
Sasuke simply sighed as he made his way into the kitchen to get his medicine. He planned on going right back to bed afterward.
