Naruto replied coolly, phone already in his hand and scrolling through the caller ID. He didn't know Sakura's number by heart, after all. "Someone has to finish healing that girl. And Sakura-chan is really good at medical stuff, a lot better than you or me…and besides, maybe this girl will trust Sakura-chan. She obviously doesn't trust you or me—at least not any more– and I'm sure you don't want a crying six-year-old crawling around your house the rest of your life."
"…" Sasuke wasn't sure how to respond. No matter HOW MUCH he really didn't want to admit it…Dobe was right.
And besides, Naruto had already found her number in his caller ID—not a hard job, considering she was constantly calling him—and was already dialing her number. It was only a matter of time before…

Present Time, Uchiha Residence:: 6:30pm

Ring….Ring…Ring…-click-
"Hello?"
"Err…hey, Sakura- its Naruto."
"Naruto?! Where the heck are you?! We were s'pose to be eating Yakiniku by now!"
Oops, apparently he had forgotten about their previous plans.
"Sakura-chan, something happened and—"
"Huh? What happened? Is Sasuke-kun okay?" Of course, Naruto thought. Everything has just GOT to be about that teme…
":Hai, hai, Sakura-chan. He's fine. It's just that...uhm…well, your good at healing, right?"
"Of course she's good at healing, Dobe!" Sasuke called from across the room. A smirk soon followed. "You just suck at phone conversations!"
"Shut it, Teme!" Naruto.
"Don't call Sasuke a Teme, Naru-Baka!" Sakura.
Naruto sighed. Maybe he does suck at phone conversations…
"Sakura-chan, can you please just come over? And bring your healing stuff. Don't ask why, SASUKE will explain later." Naruto made sure to emphasize the 'sasuke' part, making said-raven cringe at the thought of explaining himself to his number-1 fangirl.
"Where are you?"
"Sasuke's Hou—" Before Naruto could even finish, Sakura had already hung up the phone and begun rushing over. Naruto smirked.
"Well? Is she coming, Dobe?"
"Chill, Teme. She's on her way." A sigh escaped Sasuke's lips. He dreaded the moment Sakura arrived…

Five Minutes Later
- - - - - - - -
A loud knock could be heard throughout the entire apartment. Even Naruto cringed.
Sasuke sighed once more, a bad habit he had gotten into. "I'll get it…" he mumbled. Reaching over, he regretfully opened the door to find a pink-haired girl he knew as Sakura. Well, pink-and-red hair, anyway. A few months ago Sakura had decided to get the tips of her hair dyed read.
She wore black legging that went to just past her knees, showing off her thin legs, and a dark denim skirt that frayed at the ends, along with a tight-fitting, faded red screen-t shirt that read "Fxxk politics, I just want to burn shit down" across her chest. She also wore a black Roxy jacket that she wore open with the sleeves rolled up to just before her elbows. A tan messenger bag was over her shoulder that adorned many buttons and key chains- most of them reading "RJA" or "P!ATD". Pssh, like Sasuke knew what those meant…
She also wore black converse, pimped out of course with neon pink laces on one foot and black and white skulls on the other. She tied it all together with the black ribbon in her hair—not that Sasuke was paying attention! Nuh uh, no way was he checking Sakura-out! Nope…not at all…
"Sasuke? Hellooo?" Sakura mused. Sasuke had opened the door to find her catching her breath. She'd had planned to meet them outside of Hot Topic, then they could hang out a bit before heading for Yakiniku. But Nooo- Naruto had said something had happened. And apparently, this something required her to bring medical supplies, hence the messenger bag. So, she had run home to get her things, then run halfway across town to get to Sasuke's apartment. All in less than five minutes. Maybe I should work for Pizza Hut…
"Come on in." Sasuke's voice brought her out of her trance. He was holding the door open with one hand and gesturing for her to enter with the other. He wore black jeans, but they were slightly baggy on him, rather than tight like Sai's usually were. Only gay guys wear tight pants!,he had pointed out before. He also wore a simple black shirt with a long sleeved white one underneath. A small silver chain adorned his neck, with a small Uchiha symbol attached. It was the only symbol he wore that resembled his clan. He wore black DC shoes and a subtle gold watch given to him for his birthday last year. Let's just say that, to Sakura, he looked hot. (fan-girlie-ness!!! Squee!)
The worry she noticed in his voice made her walk briskly passed him, though, looking for anything that could actually make Sasuke want to invite her- the most annoying fan-girl alive (even she admitted it)- to his house. But all she could see was a hungry looking Naruto and some broken furniture.
"Where's the fire?" she commented sarcastically.
"Did you bring your stuff?" Naruto questioned- also sounding a tad worried. Sakura grew more and more confused.
"Err…yeah, but neither of you look hurt. What's going on?" She had directed the question to Naruto, who simply pointed to Sasuke, who had been trying his hardest not to be noticed.
Sasuke could feel Sakura's eyes on him as he looked down at his feet, suddenly finding his living room carpet very interesting.
"Sasuke?" she questioned.
"Well," his began, his voice sounding loud in the suddenlyquiet apartment. The rest came out as a quiet mumble. "I found a kid earlier, and she was hurt…so, you're going to heal her…" Sasuke mumbled something else, but it was so low that even the authoress couldn't decipher it.
"Where is she?" Sasuke hadn't expected this. He had expected Sakura to pull out a camera and begins relentlessly attacking him with questions and snapping a picture of him every chance she got. He hadn't expected the pink-haired kunoichi to come at him as…serious.
"Err…how do you know it's a girl?" Sasuke questioned, keeping his cool.
"Lucky Guess." Sakura smirked.
"Well…" Sasuke began. He had no clue where she was. Maybe he wasn't as good at this whole kid thing as he thought…
"Were not sure…" Naruto added sheepishly, feeling Sasuke's sudden guilt. "But we know for sure that she's in this apartment."
Sakura gave them a quizzical look. So they dragged her across Konoha to heal a girl they couldn't even find? Gee, what a way to spend my Saturday night…she thought sarcastically.
"Well?" She questioned, getting right down to business.
Both boys looked up at her, confusion plainly seen. "Well what?" they chorused.
Sakura waved her hands around her. "Go find her!" she said, exasperated.
Sasuke and Naruto both made an 'o' face before splitting up and beginning their search. Sakura began in the kitchen, Naruto began in the guest room where she supposedly last was, and Sasuke began in his bedroom- determined not to let any one else in.

BLEH! I wasn't sure if I liked this chapter or not… it's only six pages. Yuck…
Sorry for the long waits!
As you can probably tell, I'm trying to put this is present time Konoha, instead of ninja-time. It was kinda spur of the moment, and I think I might have mentioned a shuriken battle before….so…if you could just, heh, IGNORE that part in chapter one? For the sake of the authoress? Shanku! –bow bow bow-
Nxt chapter to come out soon. I might stay up writing all night, so who knows.
REVIEW!
