CHAPTER 5

DISCLAIMER: Naruto is not mine. That would be a baaaaaaad plan! The plot would suck XP But! Emi and Adelie ARE mine! Spawned from my own TWISTED and scary imagination. Muahahaha.

A/N: Yea...ok so I'm sure everyone hates me by now for not updating for soooooo long. I am sorry, but I have a few excuses! Sick sick sick, like puking and stuff (not that you NEED to know but I tell you anyways, insert manical laughter here) Then there was ACEN (Anime Central, BEST CON EVER!) and then I was a housekeeper for my friends who just have a baby, and needed help with their three year old. So yea, I tried to make this chapter long, and I THINK I suceeded. I feel a little silly though. It was supposed to be like, only Sasuke's side of the story, and THEN a small amount of Sakura at the end...but that didn't work. I'm a horrible author XP

My little sister said the greatest thing EVER when she read chapter 4! "Oh my God you gave Ino knives! Run AWAY!" bwahahahaha I laughed XP

(Sasuke's side)

He watched with dark eyes as the pink haired girl took their 'child' and walked out the door, laughing with her friends. He blew air up into hs bands and stood, grabbing his bag and walking out. Inwardly he groaned at the hoard or girls following him. They always followed him. Crowds of them. It was ridiculous, and he loathed them. Couldnt they just get a life already? None of them ever stood a chance. None ever had.

As he thought, his face ramained ever unmoved. He chose the people he let see his emotions, and they were few. All emotions expet anger. That was not a hard one to pull out of him. That was one he showed to anyone who pissed him off.

He walked quickly to his locker, exchanged his books and went to his shoe locker. When he opened it, at least 7 letters poured out of it onto the ground.

He grimaced, switched his shoes, and walked away fromit, ignoring all of the letters and muttering "Stupid."

Behind him, at least 5 girls were sobing. The reason for their cries?

"He...didn't even...hic...look at...hic...my...hic...LETTER!" was the theme of sorts. A few of the girls nearly fell into hysterics. Bawling, screaming, sobbing. What a sad, rather pathetic life it was to be a fan girl...stalker-ish person.

Sasuke casually strolled through the halls, ever other step someone said hello to him. Never once did he respond. All he did was stare emotionlessly ahead.

Finally, he got out of those halls ind to the parking lot. He quickly ducked into his car and walked for Naruto to arrive. He did have long to wait, and soon saw the tall blond's head bobbing through the crowd. naruto found the car and opened the back door, throwing his bag next to Sasuke's. He barely closed the passenger door and Sasuke did his best to peel out of the parking lot.

"You were a real ass today."

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Your awfully shitty at greetings you know." And he turned out onto the road and started the drive to his home.

Naruto disregarded the remark. "You were. You did nothing but shit Sakura all day long. And I thought you liked her."

"You helped with part of it stupid."

"And I never will again!"

"Sure you won't." Sasuke said, calling Naruto's bullshit bluff.

Rather then get pissed, Naruto wisely changed the subject.

"Itachi's gonna want to know why you have a fat lip, and shiner, and a bruise on your cheek."

"...Itachi can go die." Was the sullen reply.

Naruto smirked, pleased he had managed to get under Sasuke's skin. Bringing up Itachi always hit Sasuke below the belt, and Naruto knew it. He also knew why, but used the older Uchiha to shut Sasuke up anyways.

They pulled up into the Uchiha drivway and Sasuke got out of the car and slammed his door, and stalked up the steps to the front door. Naruto, grinning slightly to himself for his victory of shutting the bastard up, grabbed both of their school bags and followed his friend up the steps to the famous, Uchiha mansion.

Sasuke in the lead, stalked through the doors of his house, his mood now annoyed since Naruto had brought up his ass hole of a relation.

"What the hell happened to your face?"

Speak of the devil.

Sasue looked up, and there he was. Uchiha Itachi. The younger of the Uchiha's glared at him, and started up their stairs to his room. When Sasuke rached the second floor he responded to his brother.

"Go rot in a hole." And he disappeared into the dark hallway.

"Naruto, who beat him up?" Itachi's dark red eyes continued to look at the stairs, not even needing to turn around to see if Naruto was there or not. He had faith in how Sasuke always totted around his little side kick.

Naruto came forward from the doorway. "Well...you know i hate you, and normally i wouldn't tell you shit." Itachi snorted. "But that stupid ass made me carry his shit too, so I will. The girl he likes beat him after he kissed her." Naruto told Itachi slowly, making sure the last word was uttered as the blond teen reached the second floor landing, and could slip away, and so he did.

Itachi stared after him in wonderment.

"Sasuke...likes a girl?" He spoke no to thin air. "What the hell?" he yelled after Naruto, indicating that he wanted more information, but the blond was long gone by then.

Naruto entered his friends room and dumped both their bags on the floor.

"Jerk, your backpacks heavy."

Sasuke turned to his friend and shurgged. "You didn't have to bring it up. I never asked you to, dobe." He was sure to use and infuriating tone. The one that made Naruto sound like an idiot for doing what he had.

Naruto threw his shoe at Sasuke, who missed being hit with ease.

"Now I don't regret telling Itachi why you need ice on your ugly face!"

Sasuke's expression went from nonchalant to merderous in less then 2 seconds. "You what!" he bellowed at Naruto, who glared in return.

"You deserve it for being an asshole to everyone all day! It's not like he knows what I'm talking about anyways! Your brother's too much of a dumbass, even you say that!"

"Just shut up!" Sasuke snapped, pissed as hell. Naruto, of ALL people, knew why he hated his brother and excluded him from every area of his life.

Naruto did shut up. For a little while anyways. It seemed he realized he gone too far and crossed a line. It was late, but at least realization had come at all.

"So when is Itachi leaving?" Naruto asked quietly. At least him leaving soon would make Sasuke a little happier.

Sasuke's frown reamined. "Monday, for half a month. Not soon or long enough." Though, unless he died, Itachi would never leave soon enough, or be gone long enough for Sasuke to be happy.

Naruto nodded. Itachi and Sasuke didn't click, and never had. Ever since their parents had died in a car crash and Itachi had needed to take over the business, their relationship had grown even worse. And to think, one day they would have to run the company together, as partners.

No one know knew them could EVER see that happening. Everyone just saw them fight to the death, and the living one runs the business. Pathetic, but it was the futures vision.

Sasuke walked to one of his shelfs and pulled out his most violent video game. He walked over to his entertainment center, put the game in it's console, and took a seat in one of his four recliners surrounding the plasma TV. He tossed a controler on one chair, indicating for Naruto to sit his ass down. The blond boy oblidged, and for the next 5 hours they did nothing more then try to blow each other's heads off, which in turn let go of all of the tension formed between them. After those 5 hours they ate dinner, 4 helpings a peice, and then played another 3 hours of the game, succesfully ignoring any other responsibilities they were assigned.

After that, Naruto went home.

After he was gone, Sasuke shot hoops til it was so dark he couldn't see anymore, took a shower, then flipped through the TV channels until 1 in the morning, when he finally decided to go to sleep. And he went to sleep the same way he always did. Saying good night to no one. And being simply...

Alone.

(Sakura's side)

Sakura grabbed the baby and walked out of her classroom, off to her locker, not looking back once. She got a few funny looks and a few hello's as she and her friends treked down the hallway. The 5 girls all helped each other with holding car seats and bags, going to each girls locker individually. Temari's, Ino's, Ten Ten's, Hinata's, and finishing at Sakura's.

Well, at least they finished with the normal lockers. The shoe lockers were even more confusing, and Hinata fell twice when she tried to put her shoes on.

Eventually, 20 minutes after the school bell had rung, they all got out to the parking lot and split up, walking to their individual rides. Though Sakura was sure to yell to them all, "WE'RE HANGING OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THIS WEEK! AND DEALING WITH THESE TOGETHER!"

There were cheers from each of the other girls, and then everyone ducked into their cars, to put their car seats in.

Sakura laughed as it struck her. None of the boys had taken the babies the first night. Haha, surprise surprise there.

Finally the car seat was correct, and Sakura jumped into the drivers side of her little pink VW Bettle, and got her self out of the parking lot.

She sang and drove or about 10 minutes before arriving home. Her huge mansion-ish home. With some difficulty, she excavated her messanger bag, diaper bag, purse, and baby with carseat from her back seat, and walked up her driveway, jogging up her steps, and into her house through the enormous front doors.

She took a deep breath in and then bellowed, "I'M HOOOOOOOOOOME!" Giggleing slightly at the echo coming off the walls of the large foier.

Within 30 seconds Emi Haruno appeared at the top of the curving stairs.

"Hey sweetie! how was your---DAY! What the crap!" She quickly decended the steps, seeing as her eyes had caught onto the car seat with realistic looking baby inside of it. As she padded down step after step in bare feet, her shoulder cut red hair bouncing all over her shoulders, she croaked out a question. "Did you er-- get a job? Of some sort?" Hope resonated in her voice. Nervous hope.

Sakura grinned at the antics of her mother. "No jobs, it's a school project. It's fake. I promise mom, I haven't been hiding any dark little secrets from you." Sakura winked at her mother and faked an innocent look. "It's just over spring break, then I get to return it."

Emi smiled back, reached the bottom of the stairs, and pelted at her daughter, wrapping her in a hug as soon as she got there. The pink haired teenager returned the embrace. "Wanna help me get all this to my room?" she asked as the hug broke apart. Emi took the bags, and Sakura carried the baby, and in no time they were putting things away in the room of the Haruno heiress.

As she bustled around, Sakura found one of the things she had been looking for in her freakishly clean room. A stop watch was looped over her neck, earning her a weird look from her mother.

"I'm going to get this baby timed out, know when it's going to cry and whe it isn't, and plan my week around it." she said with a shrug. Her mother stared at her for a second, and then bust out laughing.

"What are you doing?" Sakura demanded, confused.

"Laughing, obviously! You can't just TIME a baby! It doesn't work that way!"

"Just watch me." and she started the watch. Emi sighed and shook her head.

"Do what you like sweetie, I have to get back to the staff meeting in room B. I ditched it to welcome you home. Love you! See you at dinner! Oh, before I go, whats the babies name?"

"Name?" Sakura questioned.

"Well sure, you can just go the whole week calling your baby 'it'. I'm sure your friends are naming theirs." She said with an encouraging smile.

Sakura looked dubiously at her mother, but before writing the idea off completely, she got the packet out of her bag. "You baby is a girl, naming it is required." Sakura read off the sheet. "Well, I guess they will be."

Emi gave her daughter a kiss on the cheek and flitted out the door. But her head popped right back in with one last question.

"Whose the father? Er...your husband?"

The Haruno heir made a face. "Uchiha Sasuke." she mumbled.

She mother blinked, looked surprised, then laughed. "That one boy who you hate?"

Her daughter nodded her pink head. "Yes. The asshole."

"You have a crush on him don't you?" said Emi, a mischevious smile playing on her lips. She raised her hands to block the pillow that had been thrown at her head and she laughed once again.

"Your as crazy as all my friends!" Sakura exclaimed, as her mother just continued to smile.

"Or am I as knowledgable? Eat something!"

Emi laughed harder, making her light blue eyes sparkle, waved, and was gone. Back to her board meeting in one of the many rooms she had set up specifically for confrences in her home. But that was the kind of mother Emi Haruno was. She wanted to work at home, and goddammit she had made that happen. She set things so she could do as much work as possible at home and be near her daughter, since Jin Haruno had been lost in a car accident a few years back.

"Your not knowledgable, your nuts!" Sakura hollered after her. But she got a protest from her stomach when food was brought up, so she decided it would be a good idea to actually go see Adelie and eat.

She got the baby out of it's car seat while she thought about what to name it. She found that it really did weigh the same as a real baby, and that it was filled with water. She was impressed with how life like it looked. She made sure her stop watch had been running, and exited her room.

It took her about three minutes to go down all the right halls and find the kitchen. Eventually she got there, and wated to put this heavy water baby down. She opened the door to the overwhelmingly large kitchen, and wove through it a bit until she found who she was looking for.

A 5'6" girl stood at a counter, slowly and carefully adding flour to her chocolate chip cookie mix. Her long brown hair was tied up loosley in a bun that was coming apart very quickly, whisps falling all over her neck and shoulders. Her deep brown eyes were narrowed slightly in concentration, making sure the recipie was followed exactly. She wore a white camisole and blue little boy shorts, and her foot tapped to the British rock playing quietly in the backround. Her hair had white patches of sugar and flour from when she had ruffled it and tried to tighten the bun, and there was a long white streak across her cinnimon and sugar compelxion cheek.

"Hey Laddie." Sakura called as she neared the girl. The 19 year old british female looked up, smiled, and the her eyes widened to the size of saucers.

"What in the bloody hell is that!" she exclaimed in her native English. Sakura grinned.

"School project." she responded in the same language.

Adelie smiled, and reverted back to Japanese. "You know you always ruin it! Your not supposed to know what I'm saying!" she whined. All the same, she pulled the 17 year old and water bag into a hug.

"So how are you ya little bugger?" she asked, going back to adding the ingredients. "And who is this little blighter? Or what is this little blighter? And who have you been screwing?" her smiled and eyes turned teasing.

"It's a baby project for school, I think I'm naming it Adelie." Sasuke didn't want it for the first night? Then he didn't get to name it. "I DON'T like my partner..." she grumbled.

"So it's that Uchiha kid is it?" Sakura nodded and made a face. Adelie had heard plenty about him. She'd lived with the Haruno's since she was 15, and had been determined to go to school in Japan. Sakura had met her on a street corner, they had talked it up, and somehow Adelie had admitted that she had left her home and didn't have a place to stay. Sakura had automatically offered, and brought Adelie home asking her mother if she could keep her.

Adelie, Laddie as she was also known, was renowned for her cooking skills, at only 15. She had supplied the Haruno's with food, she got a kitchen that was practically her own, and a new family. Life had never been so good, and still was. Only 4 years had passed, and her and Sakura were as if sisters to each other. The best friend kind of sisters.

"Your nasty cereal is in the pantry." she said, taking the baby out of Sakura's arms for a moment so she could go and get it. she jumped at the chance, and quickly retrived a bowl and her box of Count Chocula, and poured it. She pulled a stool up next to where Adelie was making her cookies, took the baby back and began to eat. Adelie wrinkled her nose at the sugar masquerading as cereal. "Your bloody nuts." she whispered in her native tounge, under her breath, earning a glare from Sakura.

"I know English for two reasons. One, because eventually I will need to know it for business purposes, and two, because YOU taught me crap loads of it! Like all the swear words." Sakura reminded her in between spoonfuls. Adelie stuck her tounge out in retort.

"Go back to making your cookies! Or are you going to take a break and read more dirty novels?" Sakura said, as she finished the bowl quickly and prepared to go back to her room and finish all the homework she had for spring break. "Honestly! You and Kakashi-sensei would get along so freaking great. You should date or something!" she said absentmindedly.

"Hatake Kakashi?"

Sakura turned around and looked at her friend. "Yea...how did you know?"

"I...er...met him that the book stre in that section and...kinda have a date with him on Sunday." she confessed, sweatdropping.

Sakura stood there, slightly shocked. "Ew! Thats my teacher, I was just joking!" she protested.

She dirty British woman grinned. "Maybe, but he's got a cute face, good body, nice ass, and interesting personality. Besides! He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who minds...experimenting...if you catch my drift." she said as she winked at the teen.

Sakura visibly twitched. Laddie just laughed, and evil grin on her face and she decided to launch into further detail. "And other more he..."

"Ew no!" Sakura cried, put her bowl in the sink on her way out, and practically ran out of the room, leaving a sniggering Adelie behind her.

Sakura was barely out of the kitchen and down the hall and the baby errupted in screams. There were two small generally soft cries that it started with, and then it all out bawled.

It caught sakura fully off gaurd and she almost dropped it, forgetting this thing could make so much noise. She regained her good grip and then sprinted to her room. She didn't want to interupt her mothers meeting, and she knew by the way the shreik's echoed down the marble hallway, it might have already. She reached her room, wrenched the door open, ran in, then slammed it closed. She looked at the thing hanging limp in her arms and making huge noises, and began to try to sooth it.

5 minutes later, she started to figure it WASN'T working. She had rubbed it's back, patting it's tummy, laying it down, bouncing it, rocking it, and nothing had worked. Finally it struck her. That stupid bottle thing! She put the baby on her bed, got the bottle out of the diaper bag, and as soon as she put it into the babies ever open mouth, the cries stopped, and it only made some cooing sounds every so often.

The rest of the night went on in about the same way. It cried in a spastic pattern unable to plot. Somtimes for 5 minutes, sometimes for 20, sometimes just a scream or two. Whenever the thing wasn't crying, she was either holding it or it was on her bed in the middle of it. She got up 5 times that night for it's crying, and was a bit of a mess by morning.

She got all in all, a very good amount of sleep. She just kept going back to bed then waking up when the baby was upset. She got up FINALLY to start her day at 11:20 in the morning. Then again, it was Saturday, so no one really cared.

For no particular reason, she put the baby in one of it's other sets of clothes from the diaper bag, then took it down stairs with her. She went down to the kitchen, had more cereal, went back to her room, and noticed it was 11:55. Needless to say, she had taken her time attempting to wake up. She shreiked out the time, put the baby in the middle of her bed once again, it's own little safe haven, then yanked off all her clothes and jumped into shower. She finished in 45 minutes, dried her hair, and walked into her closet.

She chose her undergarments, the proceeded to pick a pale yellow collared shirt, and a pink and white plaid skirt, with bare feet.

She looked around her room, making sure it was clean. The fluffy white carpet had nothing on it that didn't belong there. Her enormous room was rather furnished. Her king size four poster bed was against the wall in the middle of her room. Along the back wall her plasma screen sat, along with her collection of DVD's and games under it, along with all of players. 5 large poufy arm chairs surrounded it in a half circle.

Bookshelves started after the doorway to her closet, which had strings of beads in it's entrance, and lined an entire wall, full of manga and fantasy books, launguage books, history books, just books. A few posters were hung up, and one wall scroll on the light blue walls. Her ceiling was a work of art. It started at one end blue and with white whispy clouds, which faded into a senset, then faded into black night with stars and a full moon that was diagonally straight across from the sun painted in another corner. She smiled, pleased.

She picked up the baby, sat down in one of her chairs, and watched tv for about 20 minutes.

DING DONG! The doorbell rang through out the house. Sakura sat straight up in her chair, stood up, and bolted towards the door of her room. She whipped it open, and trying not to affect the baby too much, flew down the stairs to the front door, to see it had already been answered. Adelie stood there with Emi, welcoming Sasuke into the house. Adelie wore a collared shirt similar to Sakura's, exept it was dark blue, and short shorts. Emi was in jeans and a red tank. Sakura grimaced. 'Oh shit...' she thought 'they already got to him...'

She walked quickly up to know what they were saying, and try and get this day over with. The first thing she heard was,"...asuke we've heard so much about you! It's wonderful to finally met you in person!" Emi gushed.

Sakura made a face of pure horror, and interjected quickly. "Hey, come on lets get this over with."

Sasuke looked at her, a smile playing on his lips. He was in a midnight blue shirt and loose jeans. "Fine with me." he said, taking in her adorable apperance. "Where are we doing it?"

"We're working on the packet in my room. Lets go." she turned and started walking.

"Pleasure to meet you." he said, bowed slightly, and then jogged a bit to catch up with her, seeing as she had already stalked all the way across the foier and was 4 steps up the stairs.

Emi and Adelie grinned to themselves. "This is going to be hysterical." Laddie sniggered.

Emi nodded in agreeal."I don't know whats wrong with him, he seems like a nice boy, and rather cute. I wonder what happened to his face though..."

Maaaaaaaaaaan I like this chapter! I made it long, (or at least I thought it was long) because I haven't updated in forever T.T
