-Aiko-

Ch 2:

Stuck With the Fuzz Ball

(Last Time:

"Lazy dog.." He said to himself as he crawled into his own bed. Tomorrow, he'd have to talk to Sakura about this. No doubt, they would talk.)

Sasuke was roused from his slumber by the feel of something ruffling his hair, then something licking his face.

'What the hell?' He asked himself cracking his eye open to be met with...Green Eyes?

Aiko licked his nose, her tail wagging as Sasuke jerked back from her, wiping the dog slobber off of his face.

"Ug, nasty.." He complained. Aiko, not understanding, tried to lick his face again. He picked Aiko up & sat her on the floor to keep her from doing such. He stood up & stretched, preparing to take a shower.

Aiko followed him all the way to the bathroom, but he shut her out when he took his shower. Her scratching & whimpering could be heard through the door.

--------------------------------After the Shower------------------------------

As Sasuke stepped out of the shower, he knew something was immediately wrong.

Clothes? There. Towel? On him. Door? Closed? His newly rambunctious addition? Missing.

Dressing quickly & racing out of the bathroom, he checked his room first. Not there. He ran downstairs to the living room. Not there. However, there were traces of her. She had knocked the trash-can over & the remote was laying haphazardly on the wooden floor near the door. Trash was littered everywhere, & that was only the start of his problem. Following the trash trail to the kitchen, he found a chair knocked over. Sasuke's face twisted to that of horror. There, on the kitchen floor,was a pile of doggy poo. Wrinkling his nose, he decided he would clean this up AFTER he found the culprit. Going back to where the trail had forked, he followed the other one to the other bathroom.

When he walked in, he found Aiko laying on the bathroom rug, pieces of paper towel were around her & she had a Snickers wrapper on her tail. How, Sasuke would never know. She was passed out,fast asleep though. Her little escapade must have worn her out. Sasuke picked her up & put her on the couch. She didn't move a muscle.

'Lazy ass dog...' Sasuke thought to himself as he set to work cleaning up his living room.

------------------------------20 Minutes Later-------------------------------

Sasuke had just finished up with the kitchen & was now working his way back to the living room, cleaning up the trash trail. Sasuke didn't have time for this! He hurriedly cleaned up the rest, quite sloppily I must say, & proceeded to see that the little terror was still asleep. She was, thankfully for Sasuke. He grabbed his phone book & proceeded to look for Sakura's number.

"Ah-ha!" He said triumphantly, grabbing his own phone & dialing the number.

"Hello?"

"Yo, It's Sasuke. I need to talk to you Sakura." Sasuke said into the phone, calmness sweeping through his voice. After-all, she wouldn't meet him if he sounded angry. He might be able even to get rid of 'it'.

"Umm..O-okay Sasuke. Where & when do you want to meet?"

"Right now. Meet me at the park."

"Oh...Um, okay. Is this about the dog?"

"...Yes...Oh, & Sakura..."

"Yeah?"

"How am I supposed to bring the dog? I don't have a rope chokey thing."

"-Silence-...You mean a leash?"

"Yeah...that thing."

"-Sigh- Just carry her Sasuke."

"Humph. Fine. But if I drop her & she gets run over, not my problem"

"SASU--" -Click-

Sasuke hung up before Sakura could get anything life threatening out. Aiko was awake & watching him. He stared at her before picking her up & heading toward the door. She wiggled, licked his hand & tried to jump up to his face.

"Down doggy.." Sasuke said boredly as he slipped his shoes on, making sure to grab his house key off of the table in the hallway. He stepped outside & locked the door, dog in tow, he headed for the park.

------------------------------------On The Way-------------------------------

"Oi! Sasuke!" Sasuke's head whipped around at the sound of an annoying voice.

"Naruto..." he said glancing at him, continuing to walk. Naruto ran out of Ichiraku Ramen Shop, & started walking in step with Sasuke.

"Whatcha got there Sasuke?" Naruto asked loudly, poking Aiko & alerting everyone that Sasuke had a fuzz ball in his hands. Aiko tried to lick Naruto's hand.

"Shut up dobe!" Sasuke hissed at him, pulling Aiko away from Naruto.

"IS THAT A DOG?" Naruto yelled, crouching down at eye level with Aiko. Aiko wagged her tail, ears folded down, yet happy none-the-less. It wasn't everyday that someone made over her like that.

"I said SHUT UP!" Sasuke glared at Naruto. Naruto ignored him & grabbed Aiko from him, still walking.

"She's kawaii! Where'd you get her?" Naruto held her up, making sure she was a she.

"Sakura,Give.Her.Back.Now.Dobe." Sasuke seethed.

"Hah, Sasuke-teme has a puppy! A fuzzy wuzzy KAWAII puppy! How about that. What's her name?" Naruto was smiling like a goofball. Annoying Sasuke was his favorite thing to do after-all.

"I'm not telling you her name, just give her back!...Wait a minute.." Sasuke ordered Naruto at first, then his face lit up with an idea. Naruto stopped dead in his tracks, looking at the Uchiha boy strangely.

"What..are you thinking Sasuke..."

"How'd you like to keep her? The dog? You want her Naruto? I'll give her to you, okay? So you can just-"

"Can't..." Naruto cut him off.

"Iruka sensei is allergic to dogs. Can't have em. It's bad enough that I held one, I'll probably bring in the dog fur on my clothes." Naurto glumly handed Aiko back to Sasuke.

"I'll see ya around Sasuke. Ramens calling me for an early lunch." Naruto started walking off. Strange part was, he had just had breakfast before he started harassing Sasuke. 'What a dobe' Sasuke thought to himself.

"Oi! Naruto! Her name's Aiko.." Sasuke called after him. Naruto turned around looking confused.

"Huh?"

"The dog! Her name is Aiko!" Sasuke said pointing to the dog who was watching Naruto from Sasuke's arms. Naruto just smiled that stupid smile of his & walked off toward the Ramen Shop.

--------------------------------------The Park----------------------------------

As Sasuke entered the park, he felt Sakura's chakra emanating from a spot near the center of the entire park. 'Leave it to her to make me walk a long way. Humph.' Sasuke thought to himself, starting to walk there.

As he rounded a corner, he was met with the sight of Sakura sitting on a bench, head bent, humming, & swinging her legs to & fro.

"Yo." He said, blank expression in place. She jumped up at the sight of him, smiling. Sasuke abruptly dumped Aiko in Sakura's arms, then turned to leave.

"O-oi! What the hell are you doing?"

"Giving her back." Sasuke said, stopping & turning around to face Sakura.

"I can't keep her! That's why I brought her to you in the first place Sasuke!"

"&..you expect ME to keep her?"

"Why not? You don't live in an apartment, your not allergic, you could use the company, & it's not like you hate dogs!"

"But..but..." He groped around in his mind for some reason.

"They're a pain in the ass, that's why!"

"They are not!" Saukra yelled at him, shoving Aiko back in his hands.

"You're serious aren't you?" Sasuke asked her incrediously.

"YES! Tell you what, I'll help her take care of you, okay?" Sakura said, petting Aiko, who was trying to lick her fingers.

"...Whatever. You have to help though. You have to." Sasuke looked a bit desperate for some reason. Sakura laughed & grabbed his wrist.

"First things first, we need to get her some stuff so she'll be comfortable. What'd you feed her last night?"

" Um...-mumble-."

"Couldn't hear you Sasuke, what was that?" Sakura's eyebrow twitched.

"-Deep breathe- Ham..."

"Well...I guess that's not so bad. At least it was spaghetti or something like that." Sasuke turned pale when she said the last part. He had planned on feeding her spaghetti this afternoon. Like hell he was going to tell Sakura that now.

"Um, where are we going Sakura?" Sasuke asked, still being dragged along by his pink haired teammate.

"To the pet shop silly! Where else would we go to get her stuff?" Sasuke stared at the back of Sakura's head in amazement.

"You mean...We actually have one of those?"
