In the 3 months Sasuke had been doing community work, he had actually become a little bit more sociable, at least with the elders, he still hated his fan girls, those idiotic girls. But after the event 3 weeks ago, he became isolated, always in a bad mood, annoyed, never more than 'hn' and 'Aa' or small sentences to speak, he did his work as quickly as possible and then he would go straight to his house, none ever saw him shopping for himself or eating.
Only the ANBU watching him knew what he did after going home.
Chapter 6 – Onigiri, Training and Kintergarden
"Tsunade-sama, I don't really care about Uchiha, but he doesn't seem too well." The ANBU was reporting about Sasuke, since someone else would be watching him the following days.
"Has he done something?" Tsunade inquired already suspicious.
"No, that's the point. He does his work as quickly as possible, he never says more than 'hn' and 'Aa' or small sentences and…" the ANBU trailed off.
"And?" the lady Hokage urged him to continue.
"He barely eats, and the time he's at home he… trains taijutsu in the garden."
"What do you mean?"
"He only eats once a day, at lunch to be precise, and it's only one onigiri."
"One??" was he crazy? Who in the world survives with only one onigiri per day, being always working?
"One, some days it's only one tomato." The ANBU continued. "And when he's in the garden he trains by himself, even not being able to use his chakra, he still trains."
The Hokage stayed silent for a while.
"Since when?"
"3 weeks."
"As he been showing physical weakness?"
"No, he seems in good shape."
"Keep a close eye on him." The ANBU nodded.
"And about the training?"
"Training never hurts anyone."
"Hai." The ANBU excused himself and left, Tsunade turned in her chair so she was looking outside.
"I guess that he can survive with only that for being in Sound, I'm sure Orochimaru didn't feed him much more than what he eats now." The Hokage said to herself. "And even when he was a little kid he was always training." She paused and looked at one particular person walking while carrying the shopping bags of an old lady.
"What I'm worried is about himself, he had been improving in the social department, the elders said he was being nice to them and all… and now he's totally returning to his old self, and even worst." The Hokage sighed, not knowing what to do about him, and why he was like this.
"Shizune." The Hokege yelled, a few seconds later Shizune entered the office.
"You called Tsunade-sama?" the Hokage merely nodded.
Sakura was walking and everyone could see she wasn't in a good mood, she had her fists clenched and her aura irradiated killing intent, her usually bright emerald green eyes were dark green in anger.
Everyone made way for her to walk, everyone knew better than to step in her way when she was like that, even the dense Naruto.
Sasuke was walking home glaring at whatever was in front of him, for some strange reason the Hokage only gave him work for the morning.
He was so concentrated in glaring that he missed the pissed Sakura walking in the same path as him, and she was so pissed she missed him.
So that resulted in them bumping into each other, Sasuke fell on is butt, Sakura made a back flip before falling.
She was about to begin a tantrum when she saw Sasuke, glaring, his aura irradiated killing intent and bad mood. She walked closer to him, her dark aura softening, and extended a hand to help him out.
"Gomen, I wasn't looking where I was going." She apologized. He ignored her and got up by himself.
"Hn." He muttered while taking the dust out of his black jeans. She let her hand fall at her side.
"Are you ok? You look paler than usual." She said, concerned.
"Mind your own business." He muttered and walked away shoving his hands in his pockets. She watched him go away.
"What did I do wrong? He's been acting weird." She muttered and turned to walk where she was going.
"Where was I going again?" "Kick Sai's sorry ass to a pulp!"
"Right, that freak is so dead." She muttered, her dark aura coming back.
Sasuke entered his house and dressed black shorts and a T-shirt, he went to the back yard, that looked a lot like a training field, and started by doing some stretching.
The ANBU watching him sat on the roof and watched him.
"Even without chakra he could still defend himself against a strong opponent." The ANBU commented to himself while seeing Sasuke train his kicks.
With Sasuke, he couldn't care less if someone was watching him.
"Tsk… I endured worst things when I was with that Oro-homo-pedophile…"
"You know… you're gonna get sick if you keep this going."
"I thought I told you to shut the fuck up and leave me alone?"
"Sorry, I'm you, only difference is, I'm the half of yourself that ACTUALLY USES THE BRAIN."
"Shut up, I'm not in the mood."
"Fine, but don't come asking my help or opinion about important stuff later baka, I'll just watch you suffer."
"Fine."
"Fine."
He stopped noticing it was night already, his stomach was begging for food, he just ignored and went inside to take a shower.
As the water ran down his body he leaned his head against the wall, a bitter smile in his lips.
"It's my fault anyway…" he mumbled to himself.
"Excuse me?? Did you just say it's your fault??" his inner self exclaimed looking at him like if he had grown an extra head.
"Didn't I tell you to go away and leave me alone??"
"Hey… I said I wouldn't give you advice or help, I didn't say I wouldn't keep annoying you." He sighed in annoyance, he usually won the arguments with his inner, so why couldn't he win the arguments since a few weeks ago?
"Because I'm right and you're wrong." His inner mocked. He grunted in annoyance, he actually wanted to torture his inner to death.
"But you can't 'cause to torture me you'd have to torture yourself. Bleh!" his inner self stuck his tongue out at him in a mocking manner.
"Why do I have to have an inner anyway??" he asked to no one in particular in annoyance.
"'Cause you do-"
"Will you SHUT THE FUCK UP??" his inner self 'hump'ed and disappeared in a cloud of pink smoke. "What the fuck?? Pink smoke?"
"Like it??" Sasuke glared at his inner self. "Obviously not… but I'll keep using it 'til you admit I'm right and you're wrong."
"Keep dreaming about it." He muttered and stepped out of the shower.
1 week later, 4 months since Sasuke started his 'punishment' for all his crimes
Sakura stood in the Hokage's office leaning against the wall, eyes closed, a dark aura surrounding her. Next to her stood an artist-nin just as pissed as her.
She opened her eyes and glared at the Hokage.
"Why do we have to do that Tsunade-shisou??" she hissed in a dangerous tone.
"Because I'm ordering you to, plus, you'll work with someone else, so…" she waved her hand for them to leave.
"Tsk, annoying old hag." Sai muttered while opening the door, a vein popped on Tsunade's forehead.
"Have some respect Gaki." She yelled.
"When you'll respect our ranks." He muttered and stepped out, Sakura followed and closed the door behind her, more like slammed. In the office the walls shook from the impact.
Sasuke woke up early and started training like he had been doing for the last month. After a while someone threw him his PDA, person being the ANBU watching him.
"You should keep track of time Uchiha." He heard the man say.
"Hn." He opened the file for the days work and grunted.
"Just freakin' great." He muttered to himself and went to take a shower.
Message: For the next month you, Uchiha Sasuke, and 2 other people will be taking care of the kindergarten children. Your will have to be at the kindergarten building by 9 a.m., you will have lunch there and will leave approximately by 6 p.m., after all the children went home of course.
Have fun!!
From Tsunade, Jiraya, Kakashi and Yamato!!
(Insert grinning smiles here)
He walked to where the kindergarten was and hesitantly entered, there wasn't anyone there yet, so he just went to a table in the back of the room and sat down facing the door.
After a while some parents left their children there and left, the children didn't even noticed him, they just started playing.
"We're late." He remarked.
"Whatever, I don't give a damn, it's idiotic."
"Hn, I agree."
"Yeah, stupid old hag." She muttered darkly. He chuckled.
"What??" she snapped at him.
"You're talking like me." He said calmly, she crossed her arms in front of her.
"Tsk, just let's get going, we're already 1 hour late anyway." She muttered, he smirked and nodded.
He just sat in a chair looking at all the kids playing, running, and being very loud, he hated it.
The door opened and he was slightly shocked to see the person he had been so carefully avoiding for the past month, Sakura. And worse of all, she was with Sai.
"Tsunade-shishou is so unfair, why do we have to have this D-rank mission, if you can call it mission, while Naruto goes on a B-ranked one." Sakura whined, Sai chuckled.
"Stop whining Gaki." He said while ruffling her hair.
"Stop that." She muttered slapping his hand away and looking away, that's when she spotted Sasuke.
"Ohayo!" she greeted waving.
"Hn." Was his cold reply, she frowned lightly.
"Can't you say anything more than 'hn' and 'aa'?" she muttered in annoyance. He remained quiet.
"What are we supposed to do Ugly?" Sai asked out of the blue while eyeing the kids.
"From what I heard…" she sat down on a chair next to Sasuke. "…we have to take care of them, give them lunch, make them take a nap… after that I don't know." She grinned while rubbing the back of her head nervously.
"You were glaring at the old hag after that right?" he asked smirking, she 'humpf'ed and turned away while crossing her arms in front of her.
"…old hag…?" Sasuke breathed out and raised a brow. Sai turned to him with an innocent look.
"Yeah, you know, blond, amber eyes, loves Sake, had her face sculpted in the mountain and they call her Hokage." He said innocently, Sakura was giggling. Sasuke remained impassive, but his inner self was laughing his ass off.
"That is one good description of the Hokage!!" his inner self said between laughs. "Hn." His inner calmed down and stared at Sasuke with a raised brow. "What?" Sasuke asked in annoyance, he didn't like when people stared at him. "You agreed with me." His inner remarked. "You agreed with me." His inner self yelled pointing at him and burst out laughing again. "Shut up." He muttered.
He looked around and saw Sakura sitting in the floor surrounded by little girls and building what seemed like a castle with legos, a smile on her face.
Sai was surrounded by little some boys and girls and was helping them painting while talking with the kids.
His thoughts were interrupted by a tug on his sleeve, he looked down to see a little raven haired girl with her hair in 2 ponytails, her free arm was hugging a brown teddy bear by the neck close to her, she had big shy light brown eyes.
"Hn?"
"A-anou… w-will you p-play with m-me onii-chan??" she asked with big pleading eyes while moving her feet nervously.
"What game?" he asked coldly, if he was going to do something, it better not be embarrassing.
"E-etou… I want t-to make a d-dress for m-my teddy b-bear… but I c-can't sew v-very well…" she explained shyly.
"Hn." He got up and she smiled happily and took his hand, Sakura watched smiling as he let the little girl drag him to a corner where her things were.
He sat down and the girl gave him the dress with poor made stitches.
"C-can y-you fix it onii-chan??" she asked shyly.
"Hn, namae wa??" he asked while looking at the supposed dress to see what he could do.
"Etou… watashi Saya desu." He nodded and started working on the dress, he wasn't very good at it, but Saya seemed happy, she sat quiet in front of him while watching him work.
Sakura finished the huge castle in legos she had been doing and crawled to sit next to Sai, he had been instructing the kids on how to draw properly and now was sketching the kids while watching them, she stood next to him and leaned against his shoulder so she could see his drawing.
"Having fun?" he asked quietly, not once stopping his sketch. She kept silent and noticed a vial of blue ink right next to his knee, an idea popped in her mind.
"Let's say I annoyed you and kinda ruined your sketch, would you be mad??" she asked innocently.
"What are you planning Ugly?" he asked suspicious, she grinned and put 2 fingers in the vial, covering them in ink. As she took them out she made her fingers stoke his cheek, leaving 2 blue lines. He stopped drawing and looked at her, without warning…
"I have an idea, why don't we paint Sakura-nee-chan??" he said innocently, but smirking at her. She was taken aback, and he took the chance to grab the blue ink and with his fingers he made a blue line across her face.
She did he same to him, this time from his forehead to his jaw. They kept painting each other, and after a while the kids were painting them too. She laughed, the kids laughed too, Sai laughed, Sasuke looked and stayed stoic, his inner annoying him as always.
"Go there… I want to paint her too." his inner encouraged, but he ignored and kept working in the dress for Says's teddy bear dress.
After everyone had paint everywhere they calmed down and started to get off of Sai and Sakura.
Sakura was pinned to the floor with Sai on top of her, his elbows keeping his weight off of her, and the kids too since they had pilled up over the 2.
"Are you mad?" she asked, her fingers full of paint making incoherent designs on his face. He smirked and leaned down to her ear.
"Not really." His cold hand covered in blue paint travelled under her top and left most of the paint on her stomach.
"Mou, it's cold." She whined softly. He leaned back to look at her and his smirk only widened as he saw her shiver as he made his hand slip slowly from under her top, making a trail of paint.
"Would you be mad if I stole something from you?" he asked smirking.
"Depends on what." She whispered, he leaned to her ear and whispered something, to which she blushed hard and pushed him off muttering a 'hentai'. He sat back in front of her holding his laughter on.
"It's not funny." She muttered, he burst out laughing.
"You… should have… seen your… face, Ugly!!" he managed to say between laughs. She pouted and got up, making Sai fall down on his back on the process.
"You're mean." She said and looked at the kids, full of paint.
"Let's clean everything okay??" she asked softly.
"Hai Sakura-nee-chan!!" the kids said and started cleaning the floor.
After everything was in place, Sakura and Sai cleaned the kids, there was a sink for the matter in the room, Sasuke looked as all the kids surrounded them happily telling they were the best.
After the kids were all clean, Sai grabbed a sponge and soaked it in water, next he turned to Sakura and cupped her chin.
"W-what are you doing??" she asked, he had is usual calm stoic face. He remained silent and started rubbing the sponge on her face, taking the paint off, softly, gently.
She let him do as he pleased while secretly enjoying the feeling. He cleaned all her face and cleaned the sponge, after it was clean he returned to face her and made her face the ceiling as he cleaned her neck, he repeated the process until only the paint he teasingly put on her stomach remained. When only her stomach was left he leaned to her ear with a smirk, that smirk that always appeared when he had an idea to make her blush.
"I'll clean your stomach after dinner." He whispered, as he wanted, she blushed, secretly, he enjoyed making her blush. She gave a small nod.
It was lunch time, they had given everyone lunch and Sakura watched as everyone ate quietly enjoying the food, what made her worried was the fact that Sasuke only ate one onigiri.
He was silent in a corner, looking at the supposed dress he made for Saya. Sakura walked to him. She took the 'dress' and looked at it counting the flaws. Sasuke was looking blankly at her.
"It's supposed to be a dress right?" she asked looking at him, he said nothing. "I'll take that as a yes." She said and put the dress down in the table. She focussed her chakra in her hands and put her palms over the dress.
Sasuke watched as the once poorly made dress turned into a cute one.
"Did you just think it was cute??" "NO." "Right…"
"There, now's it's prettier, I'm sure Saya-chan'll be happy!" she said proud of her good work, and walked away.
The afternoon was pretty much the same, until nap time that is.
Sasuke started feeling very uncomfortable, all the kids were asking him something he was not in the mood to do.
"Onii-chan, tell us a story!!" he stared blankly.
"Onegai onii-chan!!" they pleaded with big puppy eyes. Damn those puppy eyes. They had been begging for a while now.
"C'mon Sasuke, they've been begging for 10 minutes." Sakura said quietly as she sat down next to Sai, behind all of the kids. Sasuke was sitting in a corner, everyone around him.
"Fine." He muttered and grabbed the book from Saya.
