Chapter 5

Sasuke was getting very weary after hours chasing and watching Tsuki and Naruto running into every shop and every restaurant saying how cool everything was. Tsuki and Naruto bonded pretty quickly and became fast friends. Sakura spent her time scolding Naruto and walking besides Sasuke. When they finally decided to rest and have dinner, Naruto and Tsuki were eagerly waiting for their ramen to arrive at the Ichiraku ramen shop.

You'll love it! It's the absolute best ramen ever in all of the universe Maki-chan! Ramen is soothing for the soul. Naruto yelled.

I can't wait! Tsuki said with a big smile.

Sasuke sighed. He was tired and sore all over. Usually a great Uchiha as himself wouldn't tire so easily but after a few rounds around Konoha is bound to wear someone out.

So, where are you two going to spend the night? Sakura asked.

Hn… I haven't thought of that. Ni-san, where are we sleeping? Tsuki asked.

Uh, oh, I haven't thought of that. Sasuke thought.

Well, you're all the more welcome to stay with me, Sakura said.

That's very generous of you! Tsuki said. Oh can we ni-san! I want to see what Sakura-chan's house is like!

If Sasuke was himself which he wasn't supposed to be due to the fact that he was supposed to be incognito he would have said no and rent rooms in a hotel. But since he is incognito he had to say yes.

F..fi..fine. Sasuke struggled to say. Trying not the explode due to the fact that he had to sleep at a girl's house.

Oh thank you oh so much Ni-san! Tsuki said giving Sasuke a huge hug.

But you have to be in bed by 10 no questions asked. The Great Uchiha said.

Of course! Tsuki replied with a smile.

Your pork miso ramen is done! Ayame said.

Yatta! Itadakimasu! Naruto and Tsuki yelled and started to gobble down the ramen.

Wow, in all my life as a shinobi I never thought that I would meet someone that is just like Naruto. Sakura thought.

Sasuke sighed, Itadakimasu and started to eat too.

Sakura did the same. Right when she was about to eat her first bite, Naruto and Tsuki yelled Done! Another bowl please!

Sakura and Sasuke sweatdropped anime style. Everyone was finally full with Naruto and Tsuki eating 15 bowls of ramen each. Then came the bill. So many zeros………

Now everyone was sweat dropping except Tsuki who was digging in her bag. The owner was getting very agitated. Naruto and Sakura were on their knees begging trying to reason with the owner until Tsuki said, got it!

Got what? Sakura asked.

The bag that Oro-our relatives gave to us before leaving. Tsuki replied. She opened her bag and inside were tons of gold coins.

There were few seconds of shock in the shop until Naruto fell out of his seat.

NANI! You had that all the time! You could have saved me my dignity! Naruto shouted with tears in his eyes.

Don't yell at her! That's rude! Baka! Sakura said giving Naruto a good thump on the head.

Ko..Komenosai. Tsuki apologized. I didn't want to make you angry. I didn't remember until now. Please forgive me!

Of course we forgive you! Sakura said giving the near-crying Tsuki a hug.

Everyone turned back to normal except Sasuke, he was still in shock.

Um, ni-san are you okay? You're not breathing! Tsuki shrieked getting really worried.

You. Had. All. That. Money? Sasuke said with a twitch. We could have bought TOMATOES! LOTs and LOTs of TOMATOES!

Everyone in the shop was officially creeped out at Sasuke's OOC. Especially Tsuki.

Um I think the tiredness is getting to ni-san. Tsuki said as she sweatdropped.

Well that's weird cause we used to have a friend that loved tomatoes too. Naruto said.

Sasuke quickly snapped back to normal when he sensed Naruto was talking about him. Well he thought, that ought to have gotten them off of his scent. When they finally paid, Naruto separated off to go home. So that left Sasuke, Sakura and Tsuki walking together in the moonlight. Tsuki was walking a head of everyone else while that left Sasuke and Sakura together. Sasuke was kinda in an awkward position seeing as how he was with the girl he broke the heart of.

It's a beautiful night isn't it? Sakura asked.

Yes, It is. Sasuke said staring at the moonlit sky. There was awkward silence for a while between them as they tried to strike a conversation.

You know, Fujiwara-san. You really remind me of a certain friend of mine. Sakura said.

Oh really, Sasuke said. But in his head, thoughts raced, Oh know! She recognizes me!

Yeagh, you do. His name was Uchiha Sasuke. Sakura said. He was in the same cell as Naruto and me. We had so many good times together. She smiled as she said the last part.

So, what happened to him? Sasuke asked with no expression as he already knew the answer.

He ran away. So he could accomplish his dreams. Sakura said with a heavy head.

Do you ever miss him? Sasuke asked out of boredom.

Sometimes. Its just not the same without him. It never will. Sakura said as her smile shrank and put on a gloomy expression. Other times I'm too busy training with Tsunade trying to discover a way to find him. Sasuke was surprised by the fact that Sakura was training with Tsunade. He thought she would spend her time moping about him.

Wait a second, the Hokage Tsunade? Sasuke asked just to be sure.

Ahumh! Sakura said proudly. I'm learning medical jutsu so I can help aid in the journey to find my lost friend.

Why do you care so much for your friend? What has he ever done for you to want him back so much? Sasuke asked with a serious look.

Well, Sakura said. He gave me a purpose. Ever since we were little, I had always admired him from afar. From the first time I ever met him at the academy, I felt an aura emitting from him. There was just this attraction toward him that I couldn't escape. I wished so much that he would notice me. That's the reason I studied so hard. He will and forever be to this very day…my first love.

Demo nande? Sasuke asked. (for all those confused out there, it means But Why?) Why do you love me? He almost shouted.

What do you mean? Are you thinking that I meant you? Sakura asked confused and suspicious at the same time.

Uh Oh, Sasuke thought. N…nnn..no! I didn't mean that! I mean I'm not Sasuke! It was an accident! I just said that since you were talking about him so much. He said trying to get her off his tail.

Um, Okay, I guess. Sakura said somewhat satisfied with his answer.

Are we there yet? Tsuki asked as she popped out of nowhere breaking the ten second silence.

Almost! Sakura said with a smile. Just a little more and…here we are! Sakura took out her keys and unlocked the door.

Then she opened the door to them and said Welcome to my house!
