Out With the Old, In With the New: Chapter Two
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, if I did Itachi would be the main character cause he's a hell of a lot hotter than any other character in the show.
A/N: IMPORTANT! I know I haven't updated in about a month (sorries) but I have been real distracted w/ hw and stuff (exams are coming, please wish me luck) Normally I would come home from skool and write a little each day so I can post quickly but I have been given a lot of hw recently and w/ my procrastinator habits I have been falling behind (T.T) The ringers of Sasuke's phone are: I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace (luves that song) and the other one is Cry Me a River by Justin Timberlake (yea I know, he's not my usual type of artist but this song fit the ringer…) So enough of my ramblings now read on!
Sakura sighed wistfully as she looked out the window of Sasuke's jaguar. She felt Sasuke's eyes burning into her in annoyance when she did. Just about anything about Sakura ticked him off or annoyed him right now. Of course the on-going rain didn't help his mood either or hers. It had been raining for two days straight now. It was mostly light sprinkling but at the moment it was beating against the exterior of the jaguar like it had only one more day to live and frankly, Sakura hoped it did.
Normally Sakura liked the rain. In Suna, rain was such a rare gift that schools canceled the day to let everyone enjoy Mother Nature's present. However, it wasn't for the free day that Sakura liked the rain. It was calm and soothing, no matter how much Sasuke's annoyance vibe was ruining the atmosphere. Then again she wasn't the one driving through the storm-soon-to-be-thunderstorm. She supposed that she should be grateful, after all Sasuke didn't have to drive her home since Naruto wasn't here.
It had been a week since she started school in Konoha but already arrangements on who was going to pick her up and drive her to school were made. Well, Naruto was really the only one who made the arrangements.
Flashback
Sakura walked down the sidewalk on her way to her second day of school. She spent the whole night unpacking but she had only herself to blame for her procrastinator habits. She was sleepy and could really use a morning wake-up… "WHAM!!!!"
Sakura grabbed her throbbing head as she looked up towards whatever she had hit, or rather what had hit her. The object she had hit turned out to be a black Bentley, so shiny she could see her reflection… and she was bleeding! Sakura tried and failed not to panic but before she could let out a cry of pain the two windows she was facing began to lower and Sakura looked up to see surprised faces of Shikamaru and Neji. Sakura opened her mouth to say something but before she could Naruto's worried face popped up next to Shikamaru's
"Sakura-chan! Are you okay?!"Naruto yelled out in a worried voice as he tried to push by Shikamaru to open the door and check if Sakura was okay.
"Obviously not Naruto, she's bleeding, man this is so troublesome." Shikamaru sighed as he pushed the blonde out of the way to unlock the door to get out. "Hey Sasuke, I'm going to go see if your mom has a bandaid or something…"
Naruto rushed out as soon as Shikamaru left towards Sasuke's mansion and knelt down beside a still-in-shock Sakura. Neji meanwhile sat bored at the window, "Naruto, she's not going to die, it's just a little scratch on her forehead."
"What are you talking about?! She could be scarred for life!" Naruto said as he worriedly ran around Sakura trying to think of what he could do to save her pretty face from a scar."Where is Shikamaru?"
"Right here, idiot." Shikamaru said returning with a first aid kit. "Hey, Sasuke! How in the world do you use this stuff?"
Sasuke, who had been sitting in the front seat with an annoyed expression on his face the whole time said, "You're the genius so figure it out yourself."
"Teme!!!! Don't you care about Sakura at all?! She could be a laughing stock for the rest of her life here!" Naruto yelled angrily.
"No, I don't care about her." Sasuke said bluntly. "Why would I care for a girl who's stupid enough to walk right into the path of a moving car?"
At this Sakura snapped. "Excuse me? I didn't walk into the path of anything! You were the one who drove into me!"
Sasuke just narrowed his eyes in annoyance. Did she always scream so loud? "Tch, whatever."
Sakura opened her eyes to retort but stopped herself. She really wasn't in the mood to deal this egotistical bastard today. She had spent all night moving her things into place around the house and she really didn't need to deal with another pointless thing in the world today. "There, done." Shikamaru spoke up as he finished cleaning up Sakura's wound and putting a bandage on it. "But you got blood all over your shirt…"
Sakura looked down at her white shirt and nearly cried. Blood was stained all the way down to halfway of her stomach. Now she was going to go to school looking like she just came out of a lame horror film where she was stabbed sixteen times but never died…
"Ah! Teme has some clothes, don't you teme?" Naruto said, trying to be of some use.
Sasuke just looked at the blonde and said, "Yeah, but she'll look like a whore if she puts them on. It'll be a big improvement over what she looks like now."
Sakura huffed angrily. 'Jerk!'
"Hmph. The clothes are probably all from the guys' past one night stands. Like hell I'm going to wear something like that!" Inner Sakura raged.
"Teme I wasn't talking about your stupid girlfriend's clothes I was talking about yours!" Naruto said impatiently.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "I lend her my clothes… no."
"Oh, come one Teme! She'll give them back! Only for today! You can't expect her to go to school in bloody clothes!" Naruto said staring hard at the Uchiha heir.
"Why doesn't she just go home then? Anyway let's go already, get in the car or I'm leaving you here." Sasuke said as he started up the car again.
Sakura just sighed. She was either going to have to miss school or she was going to go to school with blood all over her all day… it was either her future or her pride, which one? Before she could choose though, a female voice rang through her ears.
"Sasuke! I need you to pick up something for me on the way back from… oh!"
Sakura looked up to see the woman from yesterday looking down at her with a surprised look on her face. "Uh…." Sakura stuttered, lost for words on how to explain she had blood all over her.
"Mother…" a voice called from the doorway. Sakura looked and saw a vague image of a person standing their. She couldn't see him clearly because of the distance but from his voice she could tell it was an older male.
"Ah! Itachi, hold on a sec. So…" the woman said as she whipped around to look at Naruto, who usually told her what the situation was. "What is going on?"
"Teme here wasn't watching where he was driving and hit poor Sakura-chan. Now Sakura-chan is hurt and has blood all over her shirt!" Naruto explained while looking accusingly at Sasuke who just looked even more annoyed now that his mother was here.
"Well she can't go to school like that… Itachi! Could you bring me some of Sasuke's old clothes?" the woman yelled out towards the figure. "Sorry, for what happened, Sakura. That's your name right?"
Sakura nodded as she took the hand offered to her to stand up.
"I'm Mikoto, Sasuke's mother. I'm sorry, but you'll have to go through the rest of the day in Sasuke's old clothes, but don't worry, they won't fit too big on you. He was real scrawny when he was small, honestly…" Mikoto stopped short as she felt murder vibes emitting from her youngest son. "Yeah, yeah I know, I'll shut up…"
"Hello, Mikoto-san. Um… you don't have to lend me anything, I can go home and get a new…" Sakura started but she was soon cut off by Mikoto.
"No, no it's no trouble at all. Besides if you went home right now, you would be late for school. Now follow me, I don't think you'd like the idea of changing clothes in front of four boys so it's best if you come."
Sakura blushed slightly at what Mikoto said but complied and followed her inside the gate towards the mansion. Up ahead the figure left the clothes on the table by the door then disappeared further inside. Sakura gasped as she entered inside. A chandelier hung down from the ceiling and sparkled beautifully around the room. There were two stairways in front of her each leading to different hallways further up. To her right and left were hallways leading into places Sakura would never find out since Mikoto led her towards the wall in between the two stairway, where there was a hidden doorway that blended into the wall.
"This leads to the bigger closets. All five of them are located here. The bigger closets hold all of our old things and stuff, the things we no longer need. You can change there instead of going through all the trouble of going up the stairs and trying to find your way around this place."
'Five? So Sasuke must have another sibling, or maybe a relative also lives with them?' Sakura thought as Mikoto encouraged her into the second door on the left as she handed her a bundle of clothes.
Sakura unfolded the bundle and saw that is was just about a size bigger. It was plain and simple. It was a dark blue color and had wide collar. The Uchiha symbol was in the back, nearly covering the entire shirt. Slowly Sakura pulled it over her head and looked in the mirror to see how it looked on her. It didn't look wonderful on her but she did look okay. 'Sasuke would be a whole lot better in this shirt.' Sakura thought, imagining the onyx-eyed boy wearing the shirt.
'Mm-mm-mmm. Smexy boy here we come!!!!' Inner Sakura cheered as Sakura walked outside the closet.
Mikoto smiled as she saw Sakura. "Wow, your really beautiful, even while wearing boys' clothes!"
Sakura blushed and muttered thanks and followed Mikoto outside where the boys had been forced to wait by Naruto.
"Ah! Sakura-chan! There you are!" Naruto yelled as Sakura approached the car. Mikoto had left when the image she saw earlier called to her again.
Sakura nodded, shy since she was wearing boy's clothes. "Okay then! Let's get going! Come on Sakura-chan! I made teme promise to drive you to school everyday from now on, to make up for what happened." Naruto said as he pushed Sakura yet again into the car.
Unbeknownst to the teens was Mikoto spying at them from a window on the second floor of the mansion. "What a sweet girl, huh Itachi?" Mikoto said looking dreamily at Sakura.
"Hn." Itachi replied, already knowing what his mother was planning.
"Itachi, you think you could help me?" Mikoto said mischievously.
"Why not? If I say no, you'd probably force me to anyway…" Itachi replied, bored.
Mikoto smiled happily and thought, 'Who knows, maybe I'll get to have a daughter-in-law after all!'
Back at the car, Sasuke didn't say a word but once again started up the car and drove them all to school, where Ino forced Sakura to change into Ino's extra set of clothes for three reasons. One, wearing boys clothes was tacky, two, wearing a guys' classmate clothes when the guy was not your boyfriend was not allowed, and three, if Sakura didn't take off Sasuke's shirt, his fan club would attack her for the rest of the day.
End Flashback
Since then she had been going to school with the boys but she never had the chance to properly thank Sasuke for lending her the shirt. She hadn't even had the chance to return it! Sakura sighed again, earning another glare from Sasuke.
Suddenly Sasuke's phone started to ring.
ringer I hate everything about you…
Sasuke picked it up and answered, "What the hell do you want Itachi?"
Sakura couldn't here what 'Itachi' was saying but she could tell Sasuke wasn't happy with what was happening.
Sakura jumped in surprise when Sasuke hung up his cell without saying 'goodbye' and made a sharp turn into his driveway.
'Is he actually going to make me walk home in this rain?' Sakura thought mortified at the idea of walking home in a storm. For the past two days Sasuke had been kind enough, well he was forced by Naruto, to drop off Sakura at her house, and not make her walk home, like she usually did.
She looked questioningly at the Uchiha, who just stared forward. Sakura looked forward too and saw that the gates were opening to let them in. "Mother said to let you come in…" Sasuke explained angrily before Sakura could ask him what was going on.
"Oh."
Sakura looked forward again, as Sasuke pulled into the driveway. "Get off."
Sakura just raised an eyebrow at Sasuke's rudeness but said nothing as she got off and was greeted by a butler with an umbrella.
"Are you Miss Sakura, young lady?" the butler politely asked.
Sakura nodded, a little taken aback at the butler's kind voice and how he had addressed her.
"Well, follow me, miss. I think you'll want to get out of those wet clothes, Mrs. Uchiha has ordered me to give you some of the Young Master's clothes for the time being. Some of the maids are going out to buy you a dress for tonight's dinner, a guest must always be presented lovely. The Master is also expecting you so I'll give you some advice: be polite and be yourself. The Master hates phonies. I'm afraid you'll have to wait another time to meet the Older Master, for he had a business meeting. Ah, let me get that for you." The butler said he grabbed Sakura's backpack
Sakura thought about all she had been told. She guessed that Sasuke was the Young Master. The Master was probably his father; the Older Master was probably his brother. Sakura thought back at the time she was in the closets; there had been five. With Mikoto it would be four so who was the extra?
Sakura immediately found out when a LOUD, cheerful voice filled her ears.
"SAKURA-CHAN!!!!"
Sakura whipped around when she heard Naruto's voice.
"N-naruto?"
"Yup! It's me alright! Sorry I couldn't go to school today! I had to go to the doctor's for some shots, they gave me a lollipop!" Naruto said cheerfully and obviously not ashamed for acting like a four year old.
"What did you get shots for?" Sakura asked as Naruto gave her a bear hug, not minding she was wet from the rain.
"The dobe over exaggerates… he just got his medicine for his cold." Sasuke said as he approached, drenched.
Naruto gave Sasuke a look but just shrugged it off and was about to say something when they were interrupted by the butler.
"Excuse me young masters' I need to borrow Miss Sakura. Miss Sakura follows me."
Sakura nodded and followed the butler up the right stairway where she was then told to follow an old maid down the right hallway. After a while of walking the maid led her into a room and then handed her some clothes.
Sakura understood to change and soon found herself wearing a blue t-shirt that was one size bigger and baggy pants which were big on her at the waist so she used a belt to keep it together and left the shirt untucked to hide the messiness.
Sakura then towel-dried her hair and went downstairs where she saw that Sasuke had also changed and was currently arguing with Naruto.
"I'm telling you teme! Power Rangers will kick your stupid ninja turtles' asses any time!" Naruto yelled punching the air for emphasis.
"Dobe, what the hell are five stupid idiots with masks on going to do with ninja's who have pointy knives?" Sasuke said annoyed at the topic of the conversation but unwilling to let Naruto win.
"Kick their asses!"
"How?"
"By using their megazords of course!"
"Idiot! What the hell are stupid pieces of metal going to do to ninja's with shells?" Sasuke said not realizing Sakura was back yet.
"… whatever their still going to beat them… Sakura- chan!" Naruto said looking at Sakura who was now pretty nervous that she was wearing Sasuke's clothes when she wasn't even his girlfriend or anything.
"H-hey Naruto… um… sorry, but don't you need to get home or anything?" Sakura asked confused that Naruto was still here.
"Huh? What do you mean? I live here... OH! You thought I lived somewhere else! No, I live with teme here, I used to live in an orphanage but then I became friends with teme and when the orphanage was going to relocate, I was going to move, but before I could Mr. and Mrs. Uchiha-sans offered to let me live here!" Naruto said, explaining everything loudly and proudly.
"Huh? Then why do you go to school with Sasuke?"
"Oh, the stupid drivers' ed teacher won't pass me, though I don't know why…"
"Cuz he trashed 6 cars, 3 buildings, 4 trees, and hospitalized one cat." Sasuke said bluntly.
"I already told you! The cat wasn't my fault! And besides, why should that count? It didn't die, and even if it did it's got nine lives so it don't matter!" Naruto said stubbornly.
"Don't worry Naruto, I'm a horrible driver too!" Sakura said laughing as she remembered the time Temari tried, and failed, to teach her how to drive.
Flashback
"Sakura! Put it in reverse! REVERSE!" Temari shouted, yelling for her life as Sakura nearly drove off the hill they were practicing on.
"Sorry… Temari I don't think the highway will be such a good idea… I can't even reverse properly." Sakura said fearing the outcome of going onto a highway.
"We've been over this already Sakura! I am going to get you onto a highway whether you like it or not!"
"Okay…" Sakura said as she switched placed with Temari to go to the highway.
Once there Sakura looked worriedly at Temari and tried once again to convince her to let here practice some more but Temari coldheartedly shook her head stubbornly and told Sakura to drive.
And so she did… but not before ten minutes as Sakura made sure her mirrors were in place, the radio was on the right station, all the buttons worked, the tires were full of air, and the trunk was closed properly. Then Sakura drove steadily (10 m/h) to the highway, once on she began to pick up some speed and now she was going at a fairly fast pace, or so she thought. Horns continuously honked at her and drivers frequently lowered their windows to tell her to go faster. She became real nervous and didn't see the sign that she was about to hit until she saw it, really, REALLY, close up.
The car was wrecked and they had to close off the highway to repair the sign. They also banned Sakura from driving unless she had a registered licensed driver with her (Temari could not say anything at this since student i.d. cards didn't count.)
End Flashback
"Haruno-san, your dress is ready, dinner will be served in ten minutes, come along now." A butler said coming up and dragging Sakura up to a different room.
Sakura said goodbye to Naruto and Sasuke, who merely raised an eyebrow at her departure. She was confused, though. She had been here all this time but hadn't seen Mikoto-san or any of the other Uchiha members. 'Well at least I solved the five closet mystery…'
Sakura put on a black silk dress that had been given to her. It contrasted with her pink hair but still looked good. It ended a little below the knee and had thin straps. It didn't show off her curves in a slutty way, but it did show enough for everyone to know that she had a woman's body. There was a little design at the side but other than that it was seemingly very plain, but Sakura looked beautiful in it.
A maid came in and said, "Wow you're really pretty!!!"
Sakura blushed at the compliment and muttered shyly, "Thanks."
"And your hair is so long, just like Sasuke-san likes it."
"Pardon? Sasuke likes long hair?"
"Huh? Well, I don't know for sure but it was rumored that he did…" the maid trailed off.
Sakura looked thoughtful at what she had just been informed about. Then an 'idea' light bulb appeared on her head.
"Excuse me, could you help me with something Miss…" Sakura directed at the young maid who was flustered for being spoken to by such a seemingly high person.
"Um… my name is Akiko and yes, of course I'll help you."
"Akiko-chan…" the maid blushed at being called a close friend "… could you help me put my hair up?" Sakura said smiling mischievously.
"Huh? But wouldn't you rather leave it down for Sasuke-san?" Akiko said so shocked at the idea that she forgot she was supposed to always listen to what the guests told them and never question what they asked for.
"NO!!! I will absolutely NOT! I don't want to do anything that'll please that bastard!" Sakura said determinedly.
Akiko just stared at her surprised that there was actually a girl in the world who didn't want to impress THE Uchiha Sasuke. Then again, Sakura definitely wasn't like other girls. She actually called him a bastard and who knows what else? Akiko immediately gained respect for her, so she complied of what Sakura asked of her and started to put her hair in a simple up do.
"Sakura-chan! Hurry up! Dinner is almost served! Trust me, you don't want to miss the main course! I've always opposed food that isn't ramen, but believe me, the stuff they cook here is actually good!" Naruto said running up to the room where Sakura was and gasped as soon as he saw her.
"So, how do I look?" Sakura asked nervous about what he was going to say.
"Gorgeous!!!!!!! Oh my gawd, Sakura! You look really beautiful, black is a color that goes good on you! I like what you did with your hair!" Naruto said, all smiles.
"Thanks, but I can't get credit for my hair. Akiko-chan helped me." Sakura said.
"Akiko?"
"Yes, she works as a maid here but the girl really has some talent!" Sakura explained as she presented to Naruto a shy maid.
"Really? Well I'll talk to teme about that! Maybe he'll finance a shop for you or something!" Naruto said positive the girl was as good as Sakura said she was.
Akiko blushed again at the compliment, but said goodbye and went away. Meanwhile, Naruto dragged Sakura downstairs gently, but quickly. "Come on Sakura-chan! I want to get first dibs!"
"Okay, okay, I'm coming."
Sakura followed Naruto and entered a large room where she found three Uchiha's all sitting down at a big dining table.
Sakura smiled nervously as Naruto cheerfully hummed loudly and took her to her seat. Mikoto was the only Uchiha who smiled back at her. A man at the head of the table (Sakura guessed that it was Sasuke's father) looked at stoically and Sasuke looked very annoyed at the fact that he was prevented from going to a club tonight just because a stupid girl was eating with them that night.
'Um, talk about uncomfortable atmosphere…' Sakura thought as she sat down.
Finally Mikoto attempted to start a conversation. "Sakura, nice to meet you again. You look very lovely in that dress tonight. Don't you think so too, Sasuke?"
"Hn." Sasuke replied without even glancing at Sakura.
"Give your mother a proper answer Sasuke." Uchiha Fugaku said looking sternly at the raven-haired boy.
"No I don't think so." Sasuke replied bluntly.
"What? I think Sakura looks very pretty! Don't mind teme Sakura, he's just in a bad mood, like usual." Naruto said speaking up very loudly, interrupting the atmosphere with his cheerfulness.
"Thanks, Naruto, Mikoto-san." Sakura replied shyly. She didn't enjoy meeting strangers at all. Well, she did but only if she was with her girlfriends, then she wouldn't too shy or anything.
(A/N: yea I'm going to skip the whole dinner thing, if I do write it down it's going to take me even longer to post this and it'll be boring, so yea. Sorries if anyone wanted something exciting to happen during dinner .)
Suddenly Sasuke's phone rang.
ringer Cry me a river…
Everyone went silent all of a sudden, even Naruto. At first Sakura expected Fugaku to tell Sasuke to hang up immediately, or ignore it since Fugaku seemed very strict, but he didn't. Instead he looked at Sasuke with an anxious look on his face, so were Mikoto and Naruto.
Sasuke picked up the phone and said a series of: huh?... yea… what?... okay.
click Sasuke hanged up the phone quietly and said, "She said she'll drop her off in two minutes."
"Huh? But I thought she said she wouldn't let us see her tonight." Mikoto asked.
"She decided to go to a party, and couldn't find a someone to look after her, so she said for us to take care of her, she's reckless, as usual. Still we're lucky she didn't leave her alone like last time." Sasuke said rising from the seat as everyone followed his suit and headed towards the door.
Sakura was very confused and the serious atmosphere around her wasn't helping to calm her nerves. Naruto was surprisingly very serious and hung back to talk to Sakura who had also gotten up and started heading towards the front door.
"Sakura!" Naruto whispered.
"Huh?" Sakura replied.
"You should know that…" Naruto started but before he could finish the door bell rang and the butler's immediately answered it, obviously knowing what was going on.
Soon the door opened to reveal a two-year-old looking little girl in a dress. She had raven-colored hair and was now running towards Sasuke. Then Sasuke did a very surprising thing, he scooped her up in his arms as she yelled, "DADDY!!!"
A/N: my god I'm evil, I left you a cliffy! Mwahahahahaha! Sorries . but it had to end there. So what did you guys think about the little girl? Heck, what do u guys' think about Sasuke being a teenage dad? He sleeps around a lot so you guys' should've saw this coming. I want your opinions! Should Sasuke be a teenage dad? Or no? I need Japanese names for girls and if you know the meaning plz include in review! .
If you want to see good stories check out: JuSaNoTHaFaNaTiC she writes good stories and updates a hell of a lot faster than I do!
I'm thinking of making a yaoi, what'cha think? Just a oneshot.
Would I get in trouble if I named a story "Dirty little Secret"?
Btw: I'm thinking of making a new fic ( this idea has been in my head 4 weeks and it has been keeping me from writing this one.) I don't have a title yet, but it's going to be mostly fan-based. What I mean is that I'm going to make a collection of oneshots based on fans. All the oneshots are going to be songfics so when you guys review, plz. Tell me a song that you might want or something. The fic is whatever you want it 2 b, you just have to review and tell me what pairing you want in your oneshot, what song, what rating, fluff, or lemon ( I will write lemon) , if it's going to be in highschool or ninja world, the point (i.g. Sasuke killing Itachi,) I will do yaoi, and it could be drabble, just tell me what u all want!
So now that I got that out of the way… PLZ. REVIEW!!!!!
