The next day…

"Uh… Sakura-sama?" Shizune asked. Sakura was about to head to the Hokage's office while carrying Kioko. She just couldn't leave Kioko there. Maybe Itachi would abduct her or something.

"Yeah?" Sakura asked, sighing.

"Is that… yours?" Shizune asked, pointing the baby, who was still asleep in Sakura's arms.

"No." She replied simply.

"Assignment then?"

"Yes."

"So that's why you look so tired."

"Glad you know." Sakura replied and walked away, towards her sensei's room. When she arrived there, Tsunade looked tired but somehow she was alert.

"Oh! Sakura! I see you're… uh… tired?" Tsunade said, smiling at her student, who, was in fact, looking VERY annoyed.

"You're lucky the baby's here Tsunade, or else I would've shouted at you and kicked your sorry ass." She hissed. Tsunade beamed.

"Now, now Sakura, what's up with the temper? I don't see how the best ninja in Konoha can't handle a small baby." Tsunade sneered.

"Can't you?" she added. Sakura gritted her teeth.

"Look at me! I didn't have enough sleep!" She shouted. Kioko heard the shout and started to cry. Sakura didn't mind her. Tsunade was amused on what has happening.

"Would you like me to give you a partner for this assignment?" Tsunade asked as Sakura pondered over that idea for a moment. Then, she agreed.

"Better make my partner worth it Tsunade." She warned. Tsunade sighed.

"Don't worry." She reassured her. Tsunade had a plan. Sakura proceeded to shut Kioko up. She doesn't need an additional throb to her head ache already.

"Shizune!" Tsunade called as Shizune appeared, and as usual, ton-ton was on her heels.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama?" She asked. Tsunade beckoned her to come closer as she whispered something to Shizune. What made Sakura nervous was that when Shizune looked at her, she started to giggle madly and happily left the office.

"And I want you not to make any complaints about your partner Sakura. Is that understood?"

"Whatever." Sakura replied. Tsunade offered her a seat.

"Take a seat. Your partner would be arriving soon." Tsunade said, beaming. Sakura stared at Kioko, who was awake, but was now quiet.

10 minutes later…

POOF!

"You called me Tsunade-sama?"

O.O

It was no other than UCHIHA SASUKE.

"WHAT! TSUNADE! DON'T TELL ME THAT HE'S MY PARTNER! HE CAN'T EVEN HANDLE A SMALL CHILD!" Sakura yelled. Kioko started to cry… AGAIN. Sasuke raised an eyebrow and was shocked at the sudden outburst.

"Now, now Sakura. What have we agreed?" Tsunade reminded her. Sakura looked at Sasuke, who looked back. Sasuke's a genius, so he knew what was happening already. He approached Sakura.

"Give Kioko to me." He ordered. Sakura looked at him as he gave her a give-the-baby-to-me-or-else-we-would-fight-again look as Sakura gave him the baby. He patted the baby.

"Now, Kioko, stop crying." He said soothingly. Tsunade was shocked at the scene.

'So… he's showing Sakura a hidden talent.'

Instantly and miraculously, she stopped crying and started to chuckle. Sakura was baffled. Sasuke gave her a see?-I-can-handle-a-baby-more-than-you-can look. There was a long silence inside the room as Tsunade cleared her throat.

"So… Sakura… you have any complaints? And you too Mr. Uchiha?" She asked. Sakura had her mouth open as Sasuke shook his head.

Shizune was at the door, trying not to burst out laughing. The scene was just too… shocking and hilarious.

"Well then, that's excellent. Uchiha Sasuke would be your partner for taking care of Kioko, Sakura. You two would supposedly act as her parents, since you two almost look like her parents." Tsunade said. Sakura closed her mouth as Sasuke nodded.

'WHAT THE FUCK! HE JUST SHUT THE BABY UP!'

'I saw that… it was…'

'THE GREATEST SHOCK OF MY LIFE! HE HAS A TALENT ON BABIES! Now he would be an excellent daddy! giggle'

'Shut up!'

The two exited the Hokage's office. Shizune came in, as she and Tsunade looked at each other for a while, then after that, started to burst out laughing.
