A.N.: You all know what I'm going to say.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Sakura placed Kioko at a baby's cradle (is that what it is called? The bed for babies?) that the couple transferred to her apartment.

'I swear that if Itachi barges in here and places a single finger on the baby, I would kill him with no hesitation.'

She remembered that she still needs to talk to Sasuke about Mrs. Uchiha's favor. So, she decided to call him.

"I'll be right there." Was his straight reply and with a flash, he was knocking upon her door. Sakura opened it and welcomed him inside her humble abode. Sasuke sat down at a chair as Sakura looked at him.

"Coffee? Soda? Tea? Juice?" She asked.

"Tea." He replied simply. Sakura noticed his subtle addiction to tea. She came back a few minutes later with two cups of tea and a bottle of milk.

"What's that for?" he asked. Sakura raised an eyebrow as they both heard a baby cry. Sasuke raised his eyebrow at Sakura, asking for explanation. But Sakura ignored him as she ran upstairs, cradled the baby in her arms and fed her with milk.

"Ssshh, now, now Kioko. Mommy's here (she calls herself mommy, she just likes it)." She mumbled as the baby cooed to her while drinking the bottled milk. Sasuke reached her door, as his eyes widened at the sight.

"It's not what you think Uchiha." Sakura said curtly.

"You have a baby in your hands and you call yourself mommy, what should I think?" Sasuke responded.

"This is just an assignment. I'm going to take care of Kioko until her parents come back from a week long mission. Honestly, damn that Tsunade for placing me in this assignment!" Sakura sighed. Now Sasuke knew why she was yelling.

"You were yelling because she assigned you on a… baby sitting assignment?" Sasuke muttered.

"What do you mean?" Sakura heard what he said.

"Nothing." He replied. He watched Sakura coo the baby as he blushed and shook his head.

"Now what do you want me to talk about?" Sasuke asked.

"Wait a moment. I have to make her burp and go to sleep." Sakura said, patting the baby. When it burped, and to Sasuke's absolute shock, she began singing a familiar lullaby.

"Hold on… where did you know that lullaby?" Sasuke asked, freaked out himself but he didn't let it show. Sakura didn't even know herself where it came from, and she realized it just came out from her mouth.

"Why?" Sakura asked.

"I… I just wanna know where you got that."

"I won't tell unless you tell me why." Sakura spat back, her eyes showing a hint of playfulness. Sasuke thought she was completely adorable, but he shook the thought off and looked away.

"That's what… my mother… sang to me when I was still little." He mumbled incoherently but loud enough for Sakura to hear. She slightly gasped and realized that Mrs. Uchiha was up to this thing.

"Um—"

'Great, now you need to find a decent excuse.'

'Just tell him about the favor. With luck, he would believe you.'

"Sasuke, I'll be in the living room in five minutes. Please wait for me there."

"Oh… ok." Sasuke said and complied to her requests.

A.N.: Another boring chap. I intend to end this story soon. But I don't know how.

Anyway, read and review folks!
