I See Dead People
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and probably never will sorry XD. Well anyway enjoy here's chapter 9!
"A Baby?" Sasuke said to himself. "I don't have time to worry about Itachi and Keri's problems right now. I have to get ready to meet Sakura for breakfast." Sasuke took a shower and got dressed 40 min later. He started walking towards the front door only to be stopped by Keri.
"Wait Sasuke! Can you drop him off please?" Keri said giving the baby to Sasuke.
"What the hell? Whose baby is this?" Sasuke asked surprised; Itachi was actually telling the truth.
"It's Sarutobi Jr." She gave Sasuke the diaper bag after explaining what it was all about, he did not have time for this though!
"But I don't have time-"
"Thanks Sasuke I owe you one!" Keri pushed him out the door, Sasuke was frustrated he had to hurry he was already late to meet Sakura.
"Here" Sasuke gave the baby to a shocked Asuma; Kurenai never mentioned that Keri had the baby since last night; he just figured Kurenai had taken the baby with her when she left this morning.
"Why do you have my son?" Asuma asked still in shock seeing Sasuke with his precious son.
"Keri asked me to drop him off for her" Sasuke quickly walked off "Damn now I'm late" he added, finally making it to the teahouse Sasuke seen Sakura sitting and fidgeting. "Sorry I'm late Sakura, Keri wanted me to drop off the baby for her"
"Oh it's alright….wait whoa back up what baby?" curious Sakura asked.
"Never mind, anyway how is your day going so far?" ok Sasuke may not be known for his politeness but he was doing a pretty good job today.
"Oh uh so far so good I guess" Sakura smiled but Sasuke seen the 'You better not ruin it' behind that smile.
"Really? That's good, but I can make it better Sakura" Sasuke scooted over closer to Sakura and smiled, Sakura laughed and ate her dumplings.
"Hm its still early I bet Keri is mad no one is there to eat her breakfast"
"Yeah, well hey what are you doing later on tonight?"
"Hmm" Sakura placed her index finger on her lips thinking if she was doing anything later on. "Oh yes Ino and I are going to the bar would you like to come to?" she added.
"Really?" Sasuke was a little disappointed because he wanted to only go out with Sakura no one else, but on the other hand, as long as he got to spend time with her he was a happy camper.
"Yep Ino is bringing Shikamaru so I am pretty sure it's ok if I bring someone" thinking it was a good idea Sakura smiled.
"Aren't those two dating?"
"No. Well Ino used to like him but he's with Temari so she likes someone else now" Sakura was not known for gossiping but if you could get her to talk, she knows a little about everyone in the village from ninjas down to Ayame who works at the Ichiraku ramen shop.
"Right" confused a bit Sasuke quickly tried thinking of getting on a new subject.
"It's almost winter" thank goodness Sakura changed the subject she probably noticed the lost expression on Sasuke's face.
"Yeah I wonder if it will snow again this year" it snowed pretty bad last year the academy students didn't even have to go to class because the snow was past their knees.
"Maybe, who knows?" Sakura felt a depressed mood creeping up, but she would not allow it. "Well shall we leave?" Sakura clapped her hands together.
"Oh sure." Sasuke placed the money for the check on the table and they left.
"Let's go get Naruto," Sakura suggested and they started towards Naruto's house. Sasuke frowned once they reached Naruto's apartment building; they took the stairs instead of jumping up to the third floor. As they reached the third floor, the two walked down the hallway and came to a halt when reaching Naruto's door. Sasuke figured he would mess with Naruto. Sakura knocked. Sasuke glared. Naruto unlocked the door and opened it; in that same time, Sasuke took Sakura's hand in his.
"Hey Sakura, hey Sasuke"- Naruto stopped when he seen their hands linked.
"Wh-wh-wh-whaaat the hell?!!?" Naruto yelled.
"What's your problem loser?" Sasuke smirked.
"You two are dating! I knew it! Why Sakura? Why?!"
"Oh shut up Naruto," Sakura said slapping some sense into Naruto. But there was something weird here, why hasn't Sakura pulled her hand away yet? Sasuke noticed but didn't say anything he continued to glare at Naruto who was now crying like someone just killed his pet fish. "We came to see if you wanna hang out with us Naruto." Sakura said before Naruto could say anything else stupid.
"No thanks. I am training today I'm sure you two have funner things to do anyway" Naruto said as he wiped the left over tears from his face.
"Naruto, funner is not a word" Sakura said disappointed in his grammar.
"Whatever it is its better than now" Naruto looked confused.
"That made no sense Naruto" Sakura frowned. Naruto slammed the door.
"Well that was rude." Sakura thought about knocking Naruto's door down and telling him just how rude that was. "Well let's go" Sakura began swinging their linked hands happily, no one was killing her good mood. Sasuke was not sure what was happening or what Sakura was thinking but he knew he liked it.
"Where are we going?" Sasuke asked absently.
"Let's go see Sai, if we hang out with him for a while we can kill some time before we get ready to go to the bar tonight" Sakura said leading the way. "He is most likely at the library reading up on human emotions or something like that"
"He's a freak I can't believe you guys thought he could replace me" Sasuke was a little mad just thinking about Sai taking his place.
"He is not a freak; he just followed the shinobi rules and killed all emotions in his heart." Sakura tried to defend her friend.
"Yeah you're right because Keri is the freak." Sasuke changed his mind once he thought of the psycho that basically lives with him. "She's a sadist, a psycho path" Sasuke wanted to know how in hell his brother ended up with her?
"No she isn't" Sakura came to a halt causing Sasuke to stop as well. "There's Sai!" Sakura waved the pale-skinned boy down. "Hey Sai! Over here!" Sakura yelled still waving.
"Oh hello Sakura, Sasuke" Sai said approaching the two. "Huh? Are you two alright?"
"Yes why?" Sakura looked at him trying to see what he noticed that Sakura hadn't.
"Then you two must finally be dating! Oh Naruto must be devastated" Sai said looking sympathetic for Naruto.
"We aren't dating Sai" Sakura smiled. "Wanna hang out with us?"
"No sorry I'm meeting Naruto for training and then we are going to go get some ramen afterwards" Sai opened the book he was reading in the library and began to walk off. "See ya" he said waving them off.
"Oh bye!" Sakura looked a little disappointed she really wanted to hang out with other people today.
"Well Keri is still at my house, want to see what she's doing for the rest of the day?" Sasuke asked knowing that Sakura wanted to hang out with other people today.
"Sure" Sakura lead the way to the Uchiha resident.
Keri was taking a bath at the time; she heard a few knocks at the door and guessed that Itachi was asleep if he had not answered the door by now.
"HOLD ON!" Keri yelled loudly from the bathroom, the knocking only grew louder so she jumped out of the bathtub and ran to the front door no towel, no clothes, nothing, still-dripping wet of bath water. "Yes?" Keri asked opening the door. Kakashi looked at the naked woman before him and then passed out. Sakura and Sasuke arrived in time to see Kakashi fall over but didn't know why until they reached Sasuke's house.
"THE HELL KERI?!" Sasuke yelled sounding pissed off yet embarrassed. Itachi woke up and started walking towards the commotion outside.
"What is it Sasuke? What's wrong?" Keri looked confused and didn't understand why everyone was making such an uproar.
"YOU'RE NAKED THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG DAMN IT!" Sasuke continued yelling. Sakura quickly covered Sasuke's eyes once she spotted Itachi walking down the hall toward them. Once he arrived, Itachi quickly picked Keri up and took her back into the bathroom.
"Stay here and get dressed" Itachi was beyond pissed, Keri was his, only he could see her naked well Lee too Itachi didn't think Lee was gay he was just an exception, but that was not the point Keri's body belonged to him damn it!
"Huh? Ok but I don't understand what all of the fuss is about." Keri said innocently. Itachi closed the bathroom door and headed for the mess at the front door. Kakashi was just getting up from the ground when a furious Itachi knocked him back down.
"What the hell?!" Kakashi yelled in pain.
"Bastard I told you to stay away from her" Itachi tried to keep his cool but it was hard Kakashi seen Keri naked there is no telling what was going through his perverted mind! He was ready to beat Kakashi to a bloody pulp no not yet Itachi activated his sharingan, now he was ready to beat Kakashi to a bloody pulp.
"I just came here to talk to her!" Kakashi quickly jumped to his feet seeing that Itachi was serious. Sasuke and Sakura watched as the two took their stances. Sakura noticed that Sasuke was not going to break it up, so she sighed and stepped in between the two right before Kakashi could receive Itachi's blow and stopped Itachi's fist with her own.
"Alright knock it off you guys it's too early for all of this noise," Sakura said removing her fist from Itachi's, Sasuke was shocked Sakura could stop Itachi's punch with her fist and she made it look easy. "Now Kakashi, go home you can apologize to Keri some other time. Itachi go inside and check on Keri she probably doesn't know what is going on." Sakura demanded Kakashi walked passed Sasuke and Sasuke whispered; "Dead man walking" and he hummed the death song.
"Shut up" Kakashi muttered and after that was said he was out of sight, Itachi had returned to where he left Keri. "Are you dressed yet?" Itachi asked from outside of the bathroom door.
"Yep!" Keri flung the door open and walked right passed Itachi smelling like Mango and Pomegranates as usual, God that smell was so intoxicating to Itachi. "Ok I have to do my hair then lets go somewhere k Itachi?" Keri cheerfully walked into the living room where she had a towel set on the floor along with a mirror, hair grease, a comb, a brush, and a couple of hair ties.
"Keri" Itachi started.
"Tell me later Itachi I have to do my hair now before it dries out then I can't do it" Keri whined. Sasuke and Sakura then walked into the room.
"What are you going to do with your hair Keri?" Sakura asked interested since she kept her hair short and Ino only wears her hair in a ponytail she knew Keri would change it up a bit, even if it did looked weird.
"Wait and watch" Keri combed through it first then sectioned it off in fours.
"Keri" Itachi tried again.
"What is it" Keri was impatient with Itachi now.
"You can't walk around naked"
"Why not? I hate clothes and besides it was your fault you were the one who was knocked out on the couch" Keri turned away now she was mad.
"Yes but-" interrupted again.
"But, you are not alone anymore Keri, you have to wear clothes and when you change clothes you have to go in a separate room then men. Women its ok, men no" Sakura tried to put it nicer and easier than Itachi could because well Keri didn't understand complicated things she wouldn't listen so you would have to explain things to her as if she was eight it was the only way she understood.
"Ok whatever so I guess if I wanna change socks I'll go to a different room" now Keri was pissed, she picked up her things, went into the meeting room in the house.
"Damn" Itachi said running his hand down his face. "Now she's pissed no telling when or if she comes out of there." He laid on the couch and closed his eyes.
"You're not going after her?" Sakura asked a little disappointed, she looked up to Itachi and Keri's relationship she thought it was almost perfect so good that she wanted a relationship just like theirs.
"No" he continued, "She'll beat the crap out of me" Sasuke nodded in agreement. Ok maybe their relationship isn't that close to being perfect Sakura thought.
"What did you two come here for anyway?"
"Itachi, I live here." Sasuke frowned at his brother's sarcasm.
"Yeah whatever just don't make up to much noise I'm trying to sleep"
"Fine, come on Sakura" Sasuke took the kunoichi's hand in his and they walked off.
After five hours of sleep, Itachi woke up and looked at his watch. "It's three pm so that means it's been five hours since Keri locked herself in there" Itachi sat up and whistled for Mushin, he came running in, jumped on the couch and began to lick Itachi's face like he was never going to see him again.
"Alright quit. Now I want you to check on Keri and come back" Mushin barked and followed Keri's scent to the room where she was, Mushin scratched on the door and Keri opened the door just enough to let Mushin in and not enough to see her face.
"Well that didn't go as planned" sighing Itachi just stood there in the hallway.
"She still locked in there huh?" Sasuke said coming down the hallway.
"Yeah" Itachi said leaning against the wall. "What did you two do all of this time?" raising an eyebrow Itachi was curious.
"Nothing I went to sleep and she insisted to clean some of the house, she said two men living together of course the house would be a mess but Keri should at least clean sometimes." Yawning Sasuke leaned against the wall next to his brother.
"No Keri doesn't clean, she doesn't do the things a normal woman does" showing his brother the trail of clothes she left on the floor; following them, they were in the kitchen and there were all kinds of pots and pans left in the water to rust. Moving on to the bathroom, more clothes, dirty and clean towels mixed on the floor and hair products. Sasuke never noticed this because he really lives on the other side of the house and he does not use this bathroom.
"Hey guys!" a cheerful voice called from behind the two men who seemed as if they were hypnotized. "Guys? What's wrong?" Sakura asked with a hamper in one arm and a toilet brush in her other hand. "Well can you at least move so I can clean this bathroom please" Sakura pushed the two men apart to get into the bathroom; she did not know why they were in such a daze over the bathroom.
"Wait you're going to clean this bathroom?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes no one else is so I might as well while I'm here" with that, Sakura shut the door on the two.
"I like her you should keep her" Itachi and Sasuke began walking back to the living room.
"She's not a dog brother; I can't just decide to keep her." Sasuke frowned.
"Well you like her don't you?" Itachi asked getting ready to lie on the couch.
"Yeah but-"
"But nothing you're an Uchiha start acting like one, if you keep chasing her you will catch her eventually." Sasuke sighed and agreed.
"All done!" Sakura yelled from the bathroom. The two men rejoined with Sakura in the bathroom. "Now all I have left is the kitchen" Sakura was just about to walk out of the hallway into the kitchen when the door to the meeting room slowly began to open. Itachi looked at his watch.
"New time, shortest time she came out of a room she locked herself in" Itachi sighed in relief.
"Hey Keri are you alright?" Sakura asked before she could even see the girls face. Mushin ran out when there was enough space to get out and passed the three shinobi without even looking in their direction.
"What's with him?" Sasuke asked looking at the now disappearing dog.
"I'm hungry let's go eat" Keri stepped out of the room smiling brightly. All eyes went wide, all staring at Keri.
"Your-your hair!" Sakura pointed out.
"Yep you wanted to know what I was going to do to it and this is it"
"It's so cute!" Sakura ran over to Keri to touch it, her hair went all the way down to her butt. "Your hair grew" Sakura still amazed hugged Keri. Sasuke and Itachi were silent; Sasuke did not know which to say; it looks cool or what in hell possessed you to do that?
"You braided your hair?" Sasuke tried to sound nice as possible but it still sounded like what the hell? But he wouldn't dare say that.
"What the hell?" I did not say that Sasuke thought then he turned to Itachi, Itachi did not mean to say that it just slipped out.
"That wasn't the reaction I was looking for Itachi" now she is crying great can it get any worse?
"Shit, wait Keri I didn't mean it like that" Itachi tried to follow Keri into the room but trying to keep his distance at the same time just in case she decided to deck him she was known for knocking the shit out of someone without the person knowing what just happen. Keri slammed the door on Itachi's face. Then the door opened again.
"Lair! You hate it!" Keri slammed the door again.
"No I really do like it, wait Keri where are you going?!" banging on the door Itachi heard Keri getting her things and he backed up because the door opened once again.
"Liar! I'm going home stupid! You happy now?! You're such a jerk!" Keri shouted and walked right past Itachi and the others looking around for Mushin she walked up to the front door and called for him, a second later he was at Keri's side.
"No Keri wait I'm sorry" just then Itachi remembered he had bought Keri her favorite candy of all time he was saving it for a time like this, he grabbed the little brown bag off of the small dresser next to the front door and held it out to Keri. "Here I bought this for you" Keri looked at Itachi with a questioning look and then looked at the bag. "It's your favorite" hoping that would make it better Itachi took a step closer to Keri, Keri looked back up at Itachi and her face said 'take one more step closer and that beautiful face of yours isn't going to be so beautiful after I'm done. And if you're lying about this candy your dead.' Keri took the little bag, sat down on the floor, and began to eat whatever was in the bag. Now Keri was happy.
"Is it always like this around here?" Sakura was amused at the scene in front of her.
"Yep almost everyday" Sasuke sighed, "I swear she's like a little kid, I mean I would have never thought a guy like Itachi would end up with a girl like Keri"
"Well when she comes back to reality we have a lot in common and she's awesome the perfect one for me." Itachi returned to where he was standing earlier next to the other two shinobi.
"What do you mean comes back to reality?" Sakura was confused.
"She is sort of stuck in the past; a few months ago I asked Hokage-Sama if she would run a few tests on Keri while she was unconscious it seems that something is blocking her present day memory and throwing her make into her past. Shizune assumed it had something to do with Orochimaru; he messed around with Keri's head when he had her and might have blocked or removed something that was not supposed to be messed with at all. She knows how old she is she just doesn't know the appropriate age to act" after that was said everyone looked over at Keri who was happily eating her candy, the three gave her sympathetic looks.
"Itachi lets go I'm hungry!"
"Right. Put your shoes on this time"
"But I hate shoes"
"Still if you keep going around walking barefoot people are going to talk and you know how important our relationship reputation is"
"Ugh fine" she put her shoes on and stood up; Itachi walked to the front door and held Keri's hand.
"We will be back later" Itachi and Keri were about to leave but Keri asked;
"What are you two gonna do?"
"Well since we are waiting for eight o'clock and it's only five o'clock then I guess we will stay here" Sakura was going to be bored she just knew it.
"Where are you going at eight?" Keri asked.
"To the ba-" Sasuke's hand covered Sakura's mouth before she could finish her sentence.
"We are going to get some ramen." Sasuke said answering for Sakura.
"Huh why at eight?"
"Never mind them lets go." Itachi pulled Keri along out the door.
"Ok can we go see Naruto? I haven't seen him in days" Keri was disappointed for not going to see her brother. They waved and closed the door.
"Bye" Sasuke finally uncovered Sakura's mouth when they were gone. Sakura glared at Sasuke like 'why the fuck did you just do that?' glare. "Look if you told her where we were really going then she would have wanted to tag along and you remember what Ino said about Keri and alcohol they don't mix" Sasuke explained.
"Yeah but it takes like twenty shots of sake to get Keri drunk and what are the odds that she would even get to fifteen drinks while we are there." Guess she had a point.
"Well what are we going to do for three hours?" Sasuke yawned in boredom.
"Well I'm going to finish cleaning, I don't know what you could do" Sakura teased.
"Well I guess I have a couple of things to do before Itachi gets back, so if you need me I will be in my parents' room" Sasuke walked down the hall and disappeared into a room. Sakura went into the kitchen making sure she finished the job.
Sasuke went straight to the bookshelves, grabbed an Uchiha military book, and began to read it. About an hour and a half, later Sasuke finished the book it was only about four hundred pages, he placed the book back where he got it from and then left the room. "Ok so only another hour and a half to kill so I have time to go snooping" Sasuke stopped in the hallway and stretched trying to work the kinks out of his neck. He walked over to his brother's room and opened the door. "Alright the coast is clear." Sasuke muttered.
"What are you doing?" Sakura asked tapping Sasuke on the shoulder.
"What the hell?! Don't sneak up on me like that Sakura!" his heart just skipped a beat.
"Sorry" she giggled.
"You're done cleaning already?" Sasuke's heart still was not on its normal pace.
"Yep so I decided to come and see what you were doing, which is?" Sakura raised a suspicious eyebrow at the Uchiha.
Well I am almost done with chapter 10 thank the heavens it seems like the more chapters I write/type the longer it gets XD PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
