Ne, new chapter. Sorry for not updating. When I tried, the site wouldn't let me. I still haven't quite figured out why…. R&R please. Should I keep going, or erase this fic from existence? It's up to you….
"Wakie wakie, eggs and bakie!" Kiba shouted, practically jumping on the still snoozing blond. Naruto groaned, less than happy at being woke, even less so in that particular manner.
"G'off, Kiba. Go do whatever morning people like you do in the mornings and leave the non-morning loving people like me in peace." he grumbled before rolling over and pulling the comforter back over his head. Kiba raised an eyebrow.
"Fine, I guess you won't get any Ramen-" Before he could even finish his sentence, Naruto was out of bed, past him, and was tugging a pair of black jeans on as Kiba turned to face him. "-for breakfast?" He finished. Naruto finished tugging a dark blue and black striped T-shirt over his blond spikes and headed out into the kitchen, looking around. He was about to ask where the Ramen was when he found a piece of paper strongly and suspiciously resembling a shopping list shoved into his face. He took it and held it away from his nose in order to see it properly. Yup, eggs, milk, bread……Ramen…..defiantly a shopping list, and Naruto had the sinking feeling that he had just been duped into being the one to take said list to the store and…..oh, that sneaky bastard smirking at him was going to pay for this. He turned and headed back to his room.
"Well, back to bed." He said, knowing full well he wasn't going to get away with it. Sure enough, Kiba moved to block his way.
"Nu-uh, Naruto. You're already up. You're the one who always wants to eat away our Ramen supply. You're also the one who shot out of bed before I could explain that if you wanted some Ramen, you would have to buy it yourself." Naruto pouted, tried his best puppy look, (which Kiba called his a-monkey-sucking-on-a-lemon-look)yelled, complained, and, thirty minuets later, cursed Kiba while entering the small grocery store three blocks from their apartment building.
"Damn him and his tricky words and threats of no Ramen for three days…." he muttered under his breath while selecting the afore mentioned items and then a few more that Kiba had added onto the list for him when he had continued to grumble, saying that there was no harm in buying things ahead of time.
"We're almost outta asparagus (AN: Blech!) my ass." He muttered as he reached for the green stalks. Before he could touch them, however, a well manicured hand reached out and snatched them away.
"Hey!" he snapped, his head whipping up to glare a the offending person. "I was reaching…..for….that….?" he trialed off as his eyes landed on the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She was oddly well dressed for this part of town, in black bike shorts, Chinese-style shirt of pink silk, matching her hair and complimenting her pale, delicate skin. Her forehead was a little large, but that just accented her beautiful eyes. She was curvy, and wafted the gentle yet teasing scent of strawberries. Naruto felt the blood rush to his cheeks as she glared disdainfully at him as he all but melted on the floor.
"I'm dating someone." She said curtly. Naruto opened his mouth to say something. It figured someone like her was taken. But she interrupted him before he could say anything.
"I'm taken by someone you could never outclass." She grabbed a newspaper and thrust into his face. "Him." Naruto yanked the second paper that day to be practically shoved up his nose away from his face, and was about to make some protesting comment about how she shouldn't be so assuming (even though she had know exactly what he was going to say before he said it) when the picture in the paper caught his eye, along with the title on the page. His eyes widened as he scanned the article the took up most of the head page.
UCHIHA HEIR MAKES ANNOUNCMENT
The young teenage CEO of the Uchiha Computer Corps., Sasuke Uchiha, who inherited the company after the passing of his older brother and last living family member, Itachi Uchiha three months ago, made an announcement today. Uchiha-san said that he had recently gotten word via the local police department that the identity of the people responsible for last weeks sabotage on one of the company's laboratories is still, as of yet, unknown. Uchiha-san had this to say.
"I wish to tell anyone willing to try and steal from my company that they are welcome to try. They will not get far. My security is top of the line, and when you are caught, the consequences are not worth what you would have gained had you stood any chance of actually succeeding in stealing."
Uchiha-san had nothing more to say and refused to comment further.
The article went on to talk some more about the great heir, but Naruto's attention had drifted back to the picture accompanying the article. It was the black haired asshole from the bar! Figured he'd score a knockout like this girl. And behind him was the odd silver haired man Iruka-san had stopped from doing….whatever he was about to do last night! Kiba would want to see this!
The girl had seen Naruto's eyes widen and had mistaken the reason for his reaction.
"See. You have no chance with some one like-" She was cut off as Naruto scooped her up in a hug, crying
"I love you! I could hug you! I am hugging you! I would kiss you but I value my life! You're a goddess! Thank you!" He let go of the shocked girl. "Mind if I borrow this?" He asked. She nodded dazedly, and Naruto grinned widely at her, rushing up to the register and hastily shoving his items onto the belt and paid for them when the annoyed woman at the register named out the total. He snatched the bags from the spiny-wheel thing and ran the whole way back home.
Sakura watched the odd boy with some of her original distaste, but mostly with curiosity.
"Who the hell was that, and what on earth does he want with that article on Sasuke?" She wondered. Then a though struck her. She stiffened.
"Could he be….A STALKER! I HAVE TO WARN SASUKE!" Then she bent down as something caught her eye on the floor.
"That weird stalker dropped his Ramen noodles."
Kakashi was about to head back and give up on his observation of the loud mouthed blond when said teen came racing out of the grocery store like his ass was on fire. Kakashi noted as the boy sped down the street that the boy's ass was not, in fact, on fire, but that he was holding on to a news paper for dear life. Curiously, Kakashi made his way to the newspaper stand in the corner and picked up one of the papers. His eyes only had to scan the front page to know why the boy was heading home so fast. He chuckled to himself, wondering how the boy even noticed the paper, when frankly, he had watched him storm right passed the newspaper stand before without so much as glancing at it. Honestly the boy didn't strike him as the type to read much. He got his answer as a form came hurrying out of the store, and had Kakashi not been Kakashi, he would have been run over. But since Kakashi was indeed Kakashi, he neatly side stepped the pink blur racing passed him. Pink?
"Hello, Sakura." He called cheerfully. Said girl stopped running at the hail, though she still retained an air of urgency about her.
"Kakashi! It's awful!" Kakashi simply raised an eyebrow.
"What," he asked "are you out of tampons again?" Sakura's face when scarlet.
"That was an accident, and you know it!" She snapped. Kakashi just smiled at her. Sakura decided that she wasn't going to let the man tease her.
"No, it's a stalker!" She cried. Kakashi just raised an eyebrow again, ignoring the odd stares they were getting.
"One of your stalkers is an emergency?" He asked. He really needed to get back to Sasuke and hand over his information. Not that he was ever on time, but still…
"No no! That blond boy who just ran out! He was a stalker of Sasuke!" Kakashi grinned at her again, making her cheeks flush angrily. "I handed him that paper to tell him that he didn't have a chance with me because Sasuke's already got me, and his eyes went all wide, and he read the article a little, and his eyes went even wider, and then he was hugging me, and telling me I was awesome, which I already knew, and then he was asking if he could have the paper, and I nodded and he just ran out of the store, and by the time I realized what had happened-"
"In record time." Kakashi inserted. Sakura ignored him. She seemed on the verge of hysterics. Kakashi smirked evilly and decided to help things along. Nodding he reached out and patted her shoulder a little to nicely.
"You're right. I'll go warn Sasuke and stay with him in case the stalker shows up. You go and get the police!" Sakura nodded and raced off in the direction of the local police station. As soon as she disappeared around the corner, Kakashi flipped open his cell phone and placed a call to a friend of his at the local police station.
"KAKASHI!" The loud voice of Gai boomed through the connection as soon as the phone was answered on the second ring. "WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU!"
Kakashi took advantage of his friends seemingly more quiet temperament, something that was rare.
"Need to ask a favor." Kakashi said.
"ASK AWAY!" Gia's voice boomed. Kakashi grinned devilishly.
"A pretty little lady with pink hair will be coming in in hysterics and begin to tell you about a stalker of Uchiha-san's. I want to assure you that there is no stalker, but her hysterics are a disturbance, so if she causes you to much trouble, could you-"
"AHHHH! PICKING ON YOUNG SAKURA AGAIN, KAKSHI? OH, HOW THE YOUTH OF TODAY ARE SO CAUGHT UP IN-?" Kakashi chuckled again, but decided he had better interrupt his friend before Gai got to side tracked.
"Of course. But she might get in the middle of one of my little missions, so if you could keep her occupied…."
"OF COURSE!." Gai boomed, and took a breath as if to say something more, but Kakashi interrupted him a second time.
"Thanks. I'm in a hurry or I'd challenge you to a breath holding match or something. Bye!" And he hung up.
"Oh, so much fun." He said before heading off to Sasuke's manor.
