London 2
"You do know how to speak English right Uzumaki?" I asked and he sneered at me
"Nooooo, because I would be as stupid as to go to London without knowing a single english word right princess?" I scowled before moving towards my seat which was next to a formally dressed young woman, Uzumaki sat on the aisle seat while I sat in the middle.
The lady looked at me before smiling.
"Hello there, I'm Annabel Jenkins and who might you be?" I nodded at her and attempted to smile back.
"Uchiha Sasuke, pleasure to meet you." I briefly heard Uzumaki snort and turned to glare at him. The lady also turned to smile at him and extended her hand to him
"Hi there! I almost didn't see you? How are you?" Uzumaki glared at the woman's hand and I mentally scowled, is he really still mad about the english comment? Drama queen.
"You will have to excuse him but he does not speak english." the lady smiled in understanding
"Well then could you please greet him for me? I think my regular greeting might have upset him" I nodded and turned to Uzumaki.
"She says stop being a bitch."
"Screw you Uchiha." he then turned towards the woman and smiled
"Oh no Mis-" I quickly elbowed him before he could complete his sentence
"Don't, it could be our ace if she thinks that you can't understand anything we are saying." he scowled
"What ace? She's just another passenger what could you possibly gain from her?"
"Well moron if you haven't noticed her name is Annabel Jenkins, the daughter of Joseph Junior Jenkins"
"Yeah so?"
"Who is a the manager of the largest bank in england!"
"...so you wanna rob a bank"
"Exactly."
"...cool." I then turned towards Annabel and smiled at her
"Stop doing that, you look constipated." I quickly shot a glare to the blond annoyance before focusing my attention on Annabel who was looking very confused.
"Oh I was just explaining that extending a hand is your way of greeting and not a symbol of war." Uzumaki growled behind me and suddenly I was feeling very happy. Annabel gasped slightly.
"Oh dear I am terribly sorry for that. How does one apologise in Japanese?"
"You say Watashi wa hijō ni orokana joseidesu" Annabel thanked me before turning to Uzumaki who was barely trying to conceal his laughter
"Watashi wa hijō ni orokana joseidesu" (I am a very stupid woman.) Uzumaki smiled at her and she smiled back
"You are a horrible, horrible person"
"Thank you, I try."
"It wasn't a,compliment."
"Never said it was."
"Piss off. And move your hands I need to sleep." I looked up at the ceiling and raised my hands before turning to Annabel
"So where are you headed?" I asked as Uzumaki laid his head on my lap and my hands found a place to rest in that yellow mop he calls hair. Annabel's eyes widened at the spectacle but didn't voice her thoughts, instead she turned towards me and began answering my question
"Oh I am headed back to London, I just came here for a business meeting." I smirked as a strategy quickly formed in my head.
"Business you say..."
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
"We have arrived in Heathrow international airport, if you could all please exit in an orderly fashion and remember all your belongings should not remain on the plane as the airport will not be responsible if they are to be lost or stolen. Have a good day and welcome to London."
"Well it was nice talking to you miss Jenkins, I do hope we meet again soon."
"Of course we will, you have my contact number and remember if you need any help please do not hesitate okay?" I nodded and she smiled as she walked past us.
I then looked at the Uzumaki who hadn't moved an inch since he fell a sleep some time ago. Fighting the urge to grin I softly grabbed his hair and forcefully tried to rip it out of his skull.
"ITAI! what is wrong with you?" he screamed as he elbowed me in the gut.
"First of all ow, and secondly why are you speaking english? What if miss Jenkins was still here?" he scowled before standing up, grabbing his carry-on bag and making his way down the aisle, I followed right behind him
"I thought by now you would realise that I am not as stupid as I look Uchiha, I woke up a long time ago." he said softly and I suddenly felt guilt washing over me as I made my way to the airport bank to convert my notes. What to do now, I guess I could apologise...but I won't because Uchiha Sasuke does NOT apologise for anything. But then I am dealing with a highly dangerous person who could as well just kill me right in front of all these people, i've never really been confident in Uzumaki's mental state which brings me back to the original question, what to do now?
"You could buy me ramen, an not that instant crap and stop insulting my sanity before I decide to prove you right. Real ramen from a ramen store by the way." actually that's not a very bad idea now that I think of it. Uzumaki glared as the cashier handed me a few stacks of pounds.
"What do you mean its not a bad idea? Its a great idea! And please don't flatter yourself princess." oh great, even in my thoughts I can still hear his annoying voice.
"That's because you're thinking out loud, and you call me a moron." wait what?
"Yeah so do you want to get a cab or do you just want to stand there and look pretty?"
"What do you think moron?" I scowled and he smiled sweetly, immediately alarm bells started ringing in my head.
"Well if you say so sweetheart, just remember if a stranger touches you inappropriately you say no and tell a policeman or an old lady okay?" I pushed past him and walked towards a waiting cab while blondie smirked and followed.
"Can you take us to The Lanesborough hotel." both Uzumaki's and the drivers eyes widened. The drive then nodded hastily
"Right away sir." and promptly pulled out of the driveway.
"If I may ask princess, where did you get the money to book The Lanesborough? Last time I checked we were still GOING to rob a bank!" I sighed
"Have you forgotten about the money we had before?"
"Yeah but didn't you use that on all the plane tickets?"
"Tch hell no. As if I would ever waste my precious money on something un beneficial to my comfort,I used the police departments money."
"NANI!?" (what!?)
"Uhm excuse me sirs but you have arrived at your destination." Uzumaki sneered at me before turning towards the driver
"Thank you, how much will it be?"
"£39 please." I climbed out of the cab as Uzumaki reached into his pocket. I then pulled out our bags from the now open trunk and we both walked towards the entrance where a bell boy offered to carry our bags. I if course had no problem with that but mr. I-can-do-it-myself declined the offer before I could get a word in. If it wasn't for the fact that the blond hasn't had a cigarette since before we left Japan I would have already broken the morons nose.
"Welcome to the Lanesborough hotel, do you have a reservation?" the man opposite the counter asked and Uzumaki grinned at him
"Yes I believe they are under Mister S. Uchiha?" the man nodded before typing the necessary words on the monitor
"Ah yes one royal suite for Mr S. Uchiha for two nights and three days correct?" Uzumaki nodded and the man smiled
"Well then I believe a congratulations is in order." both Uzumaki and I raised our eyebrows in perfect unison.
"Congratulations for what exactly?" the man gave us a look that clearly stated that he was very much doubting our sanity at the moment.
"Well Mr. Uchiha you clearly stated on the booking that you and a Mr N. Uzumaki were engaged and that the suite should be equipped with a bottle of our best champagne, a bowl of chocolate strawberries and...a packet of condoms." the man finished, his face not betraying any of his emotions as if he deals with this kind of thing everyday .
"WHAT!?"
"DAMMIT SAI!" I growled and Uzumaki turned to me, a glare firmly in place.
"You let SAI book the hotel?"
"Well excuse me if I couldn't afford to book it myself since I was too busy saving our asses!"
"I understand that but Sai? Of all the people you chose Sai to make a booking while being aware that the man has many screws loose in that head of his?"
"Tch look who's talking"
"What is tha-"
"Who else was I supposed to ask huh? Because last time I checked the only other person we knew there was old man Chi-Chi, was I supposed to ask him?" Uzumaki sighed before chuckling nervously
"Oh yeah, sorry I guess I got a bit carried away with that." I sighed and slowly shook my head
"Yeah whatever, its not your fault you haven't been able to smoke since yesterday."
"Uh huh so we cool right my lovely fiancée ?"
"Don't push it." with that Uzumaki turned back to the man and I dully noted that almost everyone's eyes were on us. Not that I could blame them, its not everyday you see two asian men arguing so loudly...stupid stereotypes.
"Uhm Mister?"
"Conor."
"Yeah it seems there was a bit of a mix up with the booking so is it possible to change rooms?" the man typed something on the computer
"I am sorry but as of 4 hours ago we are fully booked, you should have changed the booking earlier when we sent you an email to confirm it."
"What? But its not my fault his perverted new best friend ha-OW!" the blonde yelped as I stomped on his foot, hard.
"Quiet fool! You are attracting too much attention!" I then turned to the man and bowed in apology
"I apologise for my accomplices behaviour, we will be taking the suite but we will be heading out in about half an hour and I ask that you please send someone remove the...accessories while we are gone, we will pay for them of course." the man nodded in understanding
"Of course, here is your card and I apologise for the congratulations earlier."
"No problem it wasn't your fault." I took the keys and dragged a silently fuming Uzumaki towards the elevators.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
We finally reached room 522 and as soon as our bags hit the ground I turned to look at the place. It was one big room to the front there was a door which I believe lead to the bathroom. There were four black leather sofas, three single and one triple. There was a deep brown coffee table in the middle which had a teapot and two teacups along with the necessities to make tea and coffee minus the water. To the left there was a large king sized bed which had crimson sheets and black pillows, the bed was decorated with red rose petals which formed a heart and inside the heart was a bottle of champagne, a packet of condoms and a bowl of chocolate strawberries. In front of it was a big flat screen tv who's remote was on the headboard next to the lamp. To the right there was a mini fridge with a telephone placed right next to it on the wall.
"Aww look princess, isn't it just so romantic?" Uzumaki said in an overly sweet voice and we both shuddered, romance was definitely NOT for us.
"Damn you mini me." I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.
"I'm going to take a shower." with that said I gathered my toiletry bag and headed towards the bathroom while Uzumaki took out his cigarette pack and headed towards the balcony.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
"So where to now?" Uzumaki who was now dressed in a light blue polo shirt, blue faded jeans and white soviet sneakers. I on the other hand wore a black button up shirt, navy blue jeans and black converse sneakers. Dare I say...I looked absolutely dashing.
"Lets go sight seeing I mean we are in London after all." he nodded before we made our way down, nodding at the receptionist as we left.
As soon as we left the hotel I hailed a taxi and we both climbed in
"Take us to the London's eye please." Uzumaki stated and I smirked. The driver nodded.
"Right away sirs"
"London's eye, 't you afraid of heights?
"No I am not afraid of heights, I just don't like em and what kind of mook goes to London and doesn't visit the London's eye?"
"I see you're in a better mood."
"Of course I am! I just remembered that you owe me ramen?"
"For what?"
"You insulted my intelligence back at the airport."
"What? I do that all the time! What makes the airport insult so special?"
"Beats me, you were the one who wanted to apologise."
"Fat load of good that did me."
"Hey cheer up! Look I can see it already!"
"You were standing on the balcony of the fifth floor and you're only seeing it now? Anyway i'm not going there."
"What? Why not?"
"I would be wasting 30 whole minutes sitting in closed space with people I don't even want to know who might try to start a conversation. Besides I'd rather go to the Art museum instead."
"Oh come on princess! Don't be a prude it'll be fun."
"No."
"Look you don't even have to speak to anyone since I booked a Cupid's capsule so you could uhm I dunno plan world domination or something and then after we can go to you stupid museum."
"Wait what?"
"Uhm I meant your Art museum?"
"No moron you said something about cupid."
"I booked a cupid's capsule, its a capsule that is only for two people"
"And what exactly does cupid have to do with that?"
"Because when two people usually book a capsule together, they are usually planning something romantic otherwise they would just book a standard capsule which I would have booked but then I thought of my loving caring princess and his apparent dislike of other human beings, and you call me a moron."
"So you don't mind booking a cupid's capsule and yet you went ballistic when Sai booked a honeymoon suite?"
"The capsule is for people in a relationship, a honeymoon suite is for people who have already been married so unless you get on one knee and propose with a bowl of ramen I will continue to go ballistic. So will you come with?" I resisted the urge to facepalm once more before sighing in defeat
"Hn fine, i'm only going so I can locate my 'stupid museum."
"Sirs we have arrived. It will be £25." the driver alerted and I paid him as we left the cab. Just great.
"hey we made it! Now to go get our tickets."
"Hn." the blonde ignored me in favour of trying to locate the priority desk and I used the time to begin planning the robbery. I am not going to fool myself and say that it will be like anything we have ever done before. Its a national bank so there will be nothing less than maximum security but that's where miss Jenkins comes in, with her father being the manager of the bank she might know a lot about the bank although I must bring the fact that she might not know anything at all. If that ends up being the case then it will prove troubling for us but then I will have no choice but to seek help from...him.
"Hey Princess."
"What?"
"What are you thinking about I mean you just went from calculating to loathing in three seconds flat."
"...just thinking about a certain insect I happen to know." the blonde shrugged before his face brightened up as he showed me the tickets in his hand.
"Now come on, we have to go now." I sighed but followed him nonetheless. We arrived there and the lady opposite the counter gave Uzumaki the tickets and a young brunette man approached us
"Good afternoon gentlemen my name is Henry and I will be your host for today if you could please follow me. He then turned and walked towards the entrance. I turned to glare at my accomplice
"Excuse me if i'm wrong but didn't you say that we would be uh what's the word for it...um ALONE?"
"Stop being a prude Uchiha! You can still daydream all you like...just pretend you're a mute." he grinned as he relayed the same thing I said to him at the plane. I fixed one last glare to him before we walked through the fast track entrance towards our waiting capsule.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
"Biggest waste of time I have ever encountered I tell you!" I seethed as we left the London's eye while Uzumaki chuckled
"Oh come on Uchiha even you have to admit it was a bit entertaining and to be quite fair he did make a valid point."
"What point?"
"You do know martial arts so why are you so upset?"
"Did you forget what I said before we entered the damn capsule? I said I don't want to have a conversation with random people, did I not say that?"
"He was a host, its his job to make conversations to you know, lighten the mood since you insisted on glaring at everything in sight!"
"I was not glaring."
"Whatever you say princess, I actually enjoyed the ride, he's a funny guy plus he also understands the importance of ramen unlike you."
"And that's the main reason I absolutely loathed the last thirty minutes you two just wouldn't shut up, not even for a moment!"
"Cheer up, look a fancy restaurant!" he pointed to a restaurant with the name Azzurro which was in neon blue colours since the sun had already set. I sighed but walked towards the restaurant where the waiter greeted us and showed us to a table for two. He left right after presenting us with the menu
"So I reckon we might still have time to go to that Art museum if we eat fast." he said and I waved off the suggestion.
"Hn forget it I'm tired and annoyed. After this we are going back to the hotel the museum can wait until tomorrow." the blond nodded but I could see slight despair at the fact that we were still going to the museum, tch moron.
"But really man an art museum? You could go absolutely anywhere in London and you choose a museum? What is wrong with you?" my answer was interrupted by the waiter who came back to ask for our orders.
"I will have some Alfredo pasta with a glass of red wine." I said and the waiter nodded before turning towards Uzumaki
"I will have some jalapeño chicken with a bottle of coke." the waiter nodded again before he went on his way.
"Spicy chicken and coke, really?" he raised his eyebrows in question and I just shook my head in disappointment, after all these days with me and he still hasn't got a smidgen of class in his being. Its quite sad really.
"You know insulting him every chance you get is probably the reason he and I quote 'hasn't got a smidgen of class in his being'." my eyes widened as I glared at the now grinning Uzumaki
"How dare you blame your lack of class on me, it's not my fault you were raised by barbarians and how did know my thoughts, am I that easy to read?" he chuckled lightly
"You were thinking out loud again and I take high offence to that. But that aside let's talk about the plan" my eyebrow raised as he switched back to japanese, what plan was he...oh
"Well its just an outline but tomorrow I will meet up with Miss Jenkins and see what I can gather from her, during the plane ride I learned of her love for art hence the art museum." the blond visibly brightened when he learned that he would not have to go to the art museum
"Ah good, while you do that I will be visiting an old friend of mine who used to work in the bank. As he spoke the waiter came back with our food and drinks
"Used to?"
"Yeah she quit, said being around all that money and not being able to have it was killing her on the inside." I sighed
"Only your friends would come up with such a reason to quit a job." Uzumaki slightly glared at me as he took a gulp of his soda
"Har har, we have a bigger problem though. We need the equipment to get into the bank and stuff which we don't have."
"I know a prick who can help us out with that."
"A prick?"
"Long story short, I don't like him." I grimaced at the very thought of the man
"What? That's not even a story you mook!" again with that annoying word!
"And I will ask you again, what the hell is Is a mook?" the man shrugged
"Beats me, I just figured it would be a fitting insult for you."
"Tch idiot so tomorrow we get to work and hopefully by dusk we will have a plan and the necessary equipment, although the escape plan is still not formed."
"Already got that covered, our flight leaves at exactly 7:30 am two days from now."
"To where?"
"You'll see hey sir! Can we have the bill?" the waiter left and returned with the bill which we paid and left.
"Hey Uchiha lets walk back I mean the hotel is about a fifteen minute walk from here." I looked at him in question but nodded anyway. We walked in a comfortable silence, Uzumaki taking out a cigarette and lighting it. It stayed that way for a while, Uzumaki smoking the cancer stick while I just glanced at the surroundings when a scratchy voice emerged from an alleyway we were passing.
"Well hello there, would you care to empty your pockets and give me all your money?" I snorted while Uzumaki's eyes watered in amusement. Never in my life have I ever met such a polite mugger, it would have been a rather nice experience if I was not so exhausted, mentally of course but exhausted nonetheless.
"Look I will let you walk away scott free if you turn and leave my presence right now okay?" we both turned towards the now laughing group of muggers who looked no older than 26
"Well well did you hear guys? We should run before he hurts us, oooh i'm so scared!" the man said and they all laughed, I slowly backed further into the alleyway so that nobody could witness this. I turned to Uzumaki and he nodded. I then turned to the man and smirked at him
"Move or I will kill you right here right now." the man sneered before reaching for the knife that I could clearly see in his back pocket.
"Oh really now, let's just see you tr-" Crack the man slumped down as I forcefully turned his head 180 degrees anti-clockwise. The rest of his gang reached for their knives and I grinned gleefully at the mere thought of what I could do to them with just a little bit of force and maybe a knife as well but we were both stopped by the click of a gun, I turned to see Uzumaki holding Rasengan in one hand while his other was stuck in his pocket, cocky moron.
"Okay guys now believe me when I say that I am doing this for your own safety, see that grin? That's the 'I'm going to carve out your innards and make you eat them' grin and if you don't believe me then go and research Uchiha Sasuke, however you could stay and die here but I really don't want to get blood on my new sneakers so shoo." he said with that ever so cheerful smile firmly placed on his face. The muggers looked like they wanted to attack but one look at both my grin and Rasengan had them doing otherwise.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
"Why on earth did you reveal my identity to those filthy creatures back there and then spoil my fun as well?" I calmly asked as we entered the hotel room and Uzumaki smirked before placing a quick kiss to my lips.
"And have you bitch about having parasite blood on your clothes for the whole of tomorrow? No thank you." I glared at the man before walking towards the shower but not before plucking the cigarette out of his mouth on my way there.
"No smoking in the hotel room" ah revenge was sweet.
[{END FLASHBACK}]
"Wait, how come there is no recorded poem about that alley guy?" Kiba asked as scribbled quickly on his notebook. Sasuke scoffed
"As if I would waste precious time and paper on a parasite." he said arrogantly and Kiba stared at the man across from him
"...um ok so tell me now exactly how did you manage to steal 4 million pounds with just the two of you anyway?" Sasuke sighed
"I can't say it was easy and we were so close to getting caught but-"

1) Rasengan is the name of Naruto's gun
