Happy Ending

Chapter 2


Damn! Why does he have to be there so early in the morning! Why can't Sakura-Chan for a change be there first in the morning? Narutos mind screamed in panic trying to think of how to greet the raven-haired boy.

The first thing he had done when he saw Sasuke on the bridge was to hide behind a tree and pray to God that Sasuke hadn't seen him.

Maybe I should just nod to him like a greeting? Or maybe I shouldn't say anything at all! Or… I could just act like nothing ever happened and just be hyper and annoy the shit out of him. Naruto thought about it for a while and picked number three because it sounded funnier to him then the others.

Just when he was about to walk over to Sasuke on the bridge he heard Sakura call his name and run towards him. Naruto just waved and smiled at her in greeting while waiting for her to approach.

Naruto had stopped liking his female teammate for about three years ago, when he was fourteen. He realized that his 'love' to Sakura was just a mere crush.

Sakura started to notice that he didn't ask her out on dates or annoy her like he used to do a couple of months later, but ignored it like everything else that wasn't about her beloved Sasuke-Kun.

And about two years ago, she started to talk to him like a real friend. Naruto didn't know why she wanted to hang out with him but he didn't mind either. They soon became close friends with each other too, but not maybe as good friends like Ino and Sakura were, but close enough anyway.

"Why were you behind that tree? Where you spying on Sasuke-Kun, or something? You know, to see if you could beat him." Sakura smiled at him and giggled in a soft tone.

"Uh, yeah, something like that I guess…" Naruto made a nervous laugh while Sakura rolled her eyes and continued to smile on.

"Let's go wait Sasuke-Kun now, we can't let him stand on that bridge all alone." Sakura started to walk away with Naruto a little ways behind her.

"Why not? He's a big boy now you know." Sakura gave him a weird look that Naruto immediately shrugged off. If Sakura-Chan is here, facing Sasuke, it shouldn't be to hard and I can act normal and annoy the shit out of him too. Naruto grinned at the thought of an angry Sasuke.

"Good morning, Sasuke-Kun." Sakura gave Sasuke a small smile while Naruto jumped to sit on the railing that Sasuke were leaning on.

"Morning Sasuke-Sama!" Naruto said with a slightly smug look on his face.

Sasuke frowned and nodded at the two of them in greeting.

The three of them stood in silence for a while and didn't want to say a word to break it either. It was nice to just hear the water and the bird's chirping, or at least Naruto thought it was nice. Sakura were trying to remember something, or at least Naruto thought that she was doing, because she looked like she was thinking really hard. And Sasuke did the Sasuke thing, he just were in his own little world with thoughts of whatever he was thinking.

Isn't he hot in those clothes? It is warm outside after all…Sasuke wore black pants, a black long sweater that fit him nicely, and the green chuunin vest on. At least he can have a net shirt on…

"Oh, now I remembered." The pink-haired girl spooked up, interrupting the blonds' thought about Sasuke in summer clothes.

The both boys looked up at her with a raised eye browns.

"What did Kakashi-Sensei want to talk about?" The both boys froze for a moment, until Naruto spoke.

"He wanted us to-"

"He said Tsunade-Sama wanted us to see a movie with each other." Sasuke interrupted.

Sakura blinked at the two of them, just starring at one at the time, like she was looking if Sasuke was telling the truth about watching a movie.

"She wanted you two to watch a movie? Why would she ask you two to see a movie together? It sounds so…weird." At the last word she made a face that looked slight confused.

"We know Sakura-Chan. But Kakashi-Sensei told us that the old hag wanted us to, so what could we do? She is a really aggressive woman you know…"

"And not just a little aggressive too." Sasuke added. "Besides, Kakashi said something, about that she wanted us to see it because our teamwork is bad, or something."

If the old hag knew you were kissing me she would have thought our teamwork was weird. Naruto added mentally while looking at Sasuke from the side. "But I can't say the 'mission', as Kakasi-Sensei called it, was that bad." Naruto said and looked at Sakura with a big smile. "The movie was really funny!"

Sakura was about to say something when a 'poof' came that made the three of them look to their right side to see their sensei with his nose in his book, as usual.

"Yo!" He said and looked up from his book with a smile. "On my way here I saw a letter on the ground and thought I should deliver it to whom it was to."

"Liar!" Sakura and Naruto snapped at him in slight irritation, while Sasuke just gave him an irritated look.

"Anyway…" Kakashi said while approaching his students. "We have a mission today, but I don't think you boys will like it very much." Sasuke and Naruto both gave him a wondering look. "You three are going to… Baby-sit." In some way Sakura thought he sounded almost scary, but baby-sitting wasn't that hard really, after all, she loved to baby-sit if the kids were nice.

"Baby-sit…?" Naruto said while jumping off the railing he had been sitting at. "Like… Baby-sitting with kids, right?" They all glared at him like he had three heads and not one. "But why? I though we would clean the streets after the rain, I think the village needs to be cleaned and helped right now." Naruto said, turning to his white-haired sensei with a slight confused look on his face.

"I said so myself to the Hokage, that we should clean the streets and help people who have lost their things because of the rain or something similar." The white-haired man started to open his book. "But, she said that these kids really needed some people who could baby-sit them while their parents were working and fixing their store." He looked down in his book. "So you three are going to baby-sit them, they live in block 3 house number 34, good luck with everything! Oh, I almost forgot. Boys, the Hokage wants to see you after first thing tomorrow morning." And with that and a 'poof' of smoke, their sensei was gone.

"Somehow… I think that old hag and Kakashi-Sensei just love to toy around with us…" Sasuke and Sakura nodded in agreement.

"Well… It is just some kids, it can't really be that bad, can it?" Sakura said to the both boys that looked like they wanted to hide from this mission. "Sasuke-Kun, Naruto, let's go!" She took their hands and started to drag them off to their new mission.

I don't like this… I don't like this at all! Sasuke and Naruto both had their backs against a wall and stared at the kids before them while the kids looked back at the two boys like they were crazy. Oh! I can't take this anymore! Naruto started to run forward and dropped to his knees, picking up one of the kids.

"You look so cute! You all look so cute! Give Naruto-Sama a big hug!" The little girl in Naruto's embraces whit a pink dress and brown hair, at age of five, just giggled and gave Naruto a hug.

"Come on Sasuke! They won't bite you, I promise!" Naruto looked over at Sasuke only to get, Sasuke's cold icy look back at him in respond. At that Naruto frowned and looked back at the children and gave them a warm smile while he put the girl in his arms down on the floor.

"Seems like you like kids, Naruto." Naruto looked to the doorway to see Sakura give him a big warm smile in return.

"Can't help it! These three little girl's are just so damn cute!" He looked over to the three girls and smiled at them again.

The girls looked almost alike, the only thing that separated them were their ages. The oldest one was seven years old, a girl named Ai; she had a blue dress on and had black hair tied in a ponytail. The other one who were five years old, who Naruto had given a hug to, her name was Mai. And then there was the smallest girl at the age of three, named Yu; she had brown hair, just like Mai but a ponytail like Ai and a cute yellow dress that made her shine like a sun. Yu were behind Ai so Naruto figured out that she was a little shy when it comes to strangers.

"Now we all are going to have fun, right girls?" I hope they act like angels why we baby-sit…

It all started relativily good for the three chuunins, but that was because the girls were very shy at first and didn't want to upset their new baby-sitters.

They were nice and everything and told them what they could play and mess with in the house.

The first three hours were great but then they began to play pranks on two of their baby-sitters, with Naruto's help of course, but he didn't seem so happy when the girls also played a few pranks on him. Naruto almost feel sorry for every person he had ever played a prank on.

Then when it was time to eat the girl's wanted a food fight but changed their minds when Sasuke lost his temper and said that they should eat quietly. Even Naruto and Sakura sat quietly.

A couple of ours after that, all the kids had fallen asleep, even Sakura and Sasuke had. Sakura were asleep with Mai and Yu in the girls' bedroom. And then we had Sasuke on the couch with Ai besides him.

The girl had started to like Sasuke and had followed him around almost all day and did things like he did and watched him closely and copied his every move, like she had the Sharingan.

They looked so cute together on the couch, their black hairs and pale skins, you could almost think that their were related to each other.

Maybe I should clean up a little before their parents are home. I don't think they want to clean this mess up when they come back after a day of hard work. Naruto raised from the armchair he had been sitting at and started to walk into the kitchen, but stopped only to cover Sasuke and Ai with a blanket.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I think I'll start with the dishes, when I'm at my house and cleaning, I always want to take the dishes last, so I think if I do them first, the rest will be easy. He started to fill the sink with hot water and added some washing-up liquid.

"What are you doing Dobe?" Naruto turned to the doorway to see Sasuke rubbing his eyes tiredly.

"What do you think I'm doing sleeping beauty? I'm doing the dishes." Naruto turned around and started to dish.

"Why? It's not like the parents can't do it."

"Well… I thought they most be getting home by now, I mean, their shop can't be open forever and it is already nine o'clock too." Naruto heard Sasuke give a small chuckle and the blond turned to look at him once again. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing… But, they aren't coming home until eleven or twelve."

"Really?" The blond turned to the dishes once again. "Then I can clean the house before they are coming home. Why are they coming home so late by the way?"

He heard Sasuke approach him and didn't look at him when he leaned with his back against the kitchen closet. "Sakura said they wanted to have a nice dinner with each other after their work and a movie later on if they felt like it."

"How come she didn't tell me that?" Naruto muttered under his breath.

"She didn't forget to tell you, you just had you arms full of kids and didn't hear her when she told us about it."

"Oh… Those kids surely take a lot of energy out of you."

"But they seemed to like you a lot. They loved to play with you but I didn't like that part when you taught them pranks and stuff. I don't think their parents will be happy about it either."

"Hey!" Naruto turned to face the raven haired-boy on his right side. "It was just some small pranks, or, maybe one or another were a little too big, but whatever! The kids got to learn to have fun, you know."

"But teaching them how to do pranks is to much! You must know yourself, you always pranked others when you were younger."

"I think the reason why you don't like pranks is because the kids put some make up on you and you ended up looking more like a girl than you are already do, but it's your own fault for falling asleep like a rock."

"I just haven't gotten so much sleep lately." Sasuke said with a small yawn at the end of his words.

"Go back to sleep with Ai then, you two seemed to have it really comfy together."

"I would rather-" Sasuke paused for a while. "… Help you, you know, you can't do all this by yourself and I don't want to wake Sakura up…"

Naruto laughed softly at that and dried his hands on a towel. "Then lets clean what we can and leave the rest, should you or I carry Ai to her bed?"

"I can." And with that, the raven-haired boy walked away from the blond.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

While cleaning, Naruto thought for a while about Sasuke. Sasuke were talking more when they were alone, even with Sakura and Kakashi.

Naruto thought maybe it was because Sasuke were comfortable when he was around his old team.

Because he didn't talk like that with Shikamaru, Neji or any other human from another team or in the village for that matter. He would just act like the cold-hearted bastard everyone knew him to be, except team 7 that knew him better than anybody else in the village.

He isn't that bad when you think about it, really. He's nice and more kind-hearted when I think about the first time we made team 7. But after I took him back from Orochimaru we became closer then before. He is truly the best friend, teammate and rival I ever had and will have.

"Tired?" Naruto heard Sasukes voice and turned to look at him. How long has he been there?

"Just a little, but I'm soon done here. How about you?"

"I'm done with everything I think. I didn't clean any of the girls rooms, I didn't want to wake them up and I have heard that girls in the morning isn't something you would actually wish for." Sasuke took a seat on the couch and rested his feet on it too in a comfortably position.

"Good. That will do. We've cleaned most of the house so they can't complain and if they do, I will teach those girls some more pranks that are much more evil than any other pranks they have done on us toni-" Naruto stopped talking when he felt that Sasuke had taken his hand.

"Come and sit here? You look really tired you know…" The raven-haired boy started to pull the blond towards the couch and made him to sit down on the seat next to him.

"You can go to sleep while I am up and waiting for them, you shouldn't be up if you're tired you know…"

"You are tired as well and you said that you haven't slept so much lately, is it because of… You know…"

Sasuke didn't have any chance to answer when he heard the parents' voices from the hallway, slightly drunk and loud voices.

"We are home! I hope the kids didn't do so much trouble!"

"Why should they do that honey? I think they can handle some kids just fine!"

"I will go and wake up Sakura… I think you can handle them more than I can, you are Uchiha Sasuke after all." Naruto gave Sasuke a small smile and then went to the kids room were Sakura was asleep.


So what do you all think?
