Chapter 3 The Plan

(Kaoru's POV)
Tou-San and I walked down the market Okaa-San was too busy with the clan so I had to be with Tou-San. I looked down at the ground while Tou-San held my hand.
"What is wrong Kaoru,"

"Okaa-San is too busy to play with me...I miss Okaa-San," I sighed.

"You have me to play with,"

"Hai," I smiled as we continued to walk around.

The market was pretty packed I held on to Tou-San's hand only to find that he wasn't around.

"Tou-San," I mumbled as tears welled up in my eyes.

I looked around to see many people. I could feel the tears start to fall. I fell back on the ground.

"Waa Tou-San," I cried I was afraid. What if Okaa-san's family found me then I won't be able to be with Okaa -San and Tou-San anymore.

I continued to cry until I felt a pair of arms pick me up. I looked at the person to see that it was Tou-San.

"Waa Tou-San," I cried as I pulled him close.

"It's ok how about we go get some dango," he smirked.

"Hai,"

He held me in his arms as he walked to the dango shop. We walked in to find it with little people. I looked around in search for a table when I saw pink. I smiled cheekily as I tried to get away from Tou-san. Once he put me down I ran to the pink haired lady.

"Okaa-san," I smiled as I jumped in front of her.

"Kaoru what are you doing here," she asked shocked.

"Tou-san and I wanted to eat some dango," I answered with a smiled.

"Oh…then would you like to join me,"

"Hai Tou-san Okaa-san is here," I called out happily.

"Sakura-san are you not suppose to be in a meeting with you family," Tou-san asked wondering.

"I left a clone with them I wanted to relax for a bit," Okaa-san answered.

"Won't they notice that it's a clone,:

"Nope my clones are specially created for this sort of stuff,"

"Oh would you mind showing me your technique,"

"No, how about tomorrow…the family is leaving tomorrow because of some matters going on in their compound,"

"Okaa-san does that mean that I can go back with you," I asked wondering.

"Sorry, not today but tomorrow yes oh and now you will have your own room," Okaa-san smiled.

"Really," I asked smiling happily.

"Yes, You see I cleaned out one of the rooms that was next to mine and also got to place a jutsu on the house so that only you and I can enter the house," she answered with a smile.

"Really yay," I smiled happily tossing my hands in the air.

"Let's order some Dango," she smiled raising her hand.

A waitress came over I recognized her as Yumi-chan. I smiled at her as she walked our way.

"Hello Sakura, Kaoru oh Itachi-san you're here too wow…Well what will your order be the usual," she asked with a smile.

"Hai the usual for Kaoru and I," Okaa-san answered.

"For me as well the usual," Tou-san answered.

"Alright then your order will be out in a bit," she smiled before walking away.

"Alright now tell me Kaoru how was it living with your Tou-san," Okaa-san asked.

"It was fun…Tou-san and I would take naps together after reading a book, Obaa-san would make onigri and dango for me, Uncle Sasuke played with me and Ojii-san gave me some books to read," I answered happily.

"That's good to hear…did you miss me at all," she asked.

"Of course I missed you Okaa-san I love you more than anyone," I answered pulling her face to mine and gave her a kiss.

"Haha I missed you too," she smiled.

"Oh Okaa-san are you and Tou-san together," I asked wondering.

"No…Itachi and I are not together why do you ask," she answered confused.

"Well if Tou-san and Okaa-san were together then we would be an actual family," I smiled.

"Ah sorry but we are not together," she sighed.

'Maybe I can get Uncle Sasuke, Uncle Naruto, Ojii-san and Obaa-san to help me get Tou-san and Okaa-san together,' I thought as Yumi-chan brought us our food.

After eating our dango together Tou-san paid for the meal. Okaa-san argued about it but at the end Tou-san won. Okaa-san had to go back to the compound so Tou-san and I walked back to his house. This time he carried me because of the crowded streets. Once we reached the house he placed me down. I ran to Obaa-san to tell her about my plan.

"Obaa-san," I called out happily running to the kitchen. I found her sitting on a chair happily making some onigri.

"Kaoru-chan your back," she smiled.

"Hai Obaa-san can you help me with something please," I asked wondering.

"Anything for you come sit," she smiled picking me up and placing me on the chair.

"Well Okaa-san told me that her and Tou-san are not together and I want us to be a family so Kaoru being Kaoru thought that maybe you, Ojii-san, Uncle Sasuke and Uncle Naruto can help get them together so that we can be a family," I explained.

"Hai then you want Sakura-chan and Ita-chan to be together that way you can be considered as a family," she asked.

"Hai will you help," I answered wondering.

"Hai let's get Fugaku, Sasu-chan and Naruto-kun together," Obaa-san smiled.

(Mikoto's POV)

Once we got the boys and Fugaku together we sent Sakura-chan and Itachi-chan away. We were currently in the kitchen.

"Ok boys Kaoru-chan gave me a wonderful idea and I need you three to help," I smiled happily.

"Kaa-san what are you planning now," Sasuke asked.

"Well Kaoru wants Sakura and Itachi to start going out," I answered.

"HELL NO SAKURA-CHAN IS NOT GOING TO DATE THAT WESEL,"

"Naruto-kun I would love for you to help me with this because you do know that if you do not do what Kaoru-chan wants then he will go to Tsunade and you know Tsunade," I smiled evilly.

"Uh Hai Mikoto-san," He said shrinking down in his chair.

"Alright then in order to get them together we need to lock them up somewhere and get them to talk also we need to get them alone together does anyone have any thoughts," I asked wondering.

"Well Itachi and Sakura are always at the library and they usually stay there for late hours," Sasuke answered.

"How about we just lock them up in a closet and see what happens," Naruto suggested.

"Hai let's try that,"

After having our little meeting we found Itachi and Sakura in the living room each on a separate sofa. I sighed as I walked up to them.

"Sakura-chan, Ita-chan can you help me get something from the hall way closet," I asked innocently.

They both nodded as they got up and followed me to the hallway. I smirked as I opened the doors and watched them walk in. Once they were inside I closed the doors and locked it with my special jutsu. I smiled as I walked away.

(Sakura's POV)

Itachi and I were pushed into a closet and locked into it. Itachi sat down on one of the boxes while I tried to break out. I sighed as I sat back on a box.

"You saw this coming didn't you," I asked.

"Yes, ever since Kaoru called me Tou-san for breakfast the day before," he answered.

"Do you think we will ever get out?"

"Knowing my mother probably not until we do what they want,"

"Well they want us to be in a relationship but I really don't want to be in a relationship right now…I haven't picked up the broken pieces," I whispered softly.

I looked down at the ground angrily. I didn't want to be in a relationship. I felt him move next to me. I looked up at him I hadn't noticed that my tears were falling down my cheeks. I quickly rubbed them away.

"Sakura why do you not wish to be in a relationship," he asked.

"Well the last relationship I was in was with one of suitors that the elders picked, and well he was from another compound. Well you see during our relationship he would always abuse Kaoru and would always tell me to get rid of him…but I can't I love him like my own so I decided to break it off. Once I broke it off my elders went after Kaoru and started to blame him for the break up…ha it was all quiet troublesome…haha I should stop playing shogi with Shikamaru," I laughed sadly.

"You play shogi against Nara-san," he asked confused.

"Hai I even beat him twice," I answered.

"Hn…would you mind playing a game with me once," he asked.

"Um sure any time you want,"

"How about now the board is here and I doubt they will be letting us out any time soon,"

"Yeah plus knowing Mikoto she will take care of Kaoru,"

I watched as he grabbed the board and set it up. I moved closer to the board and watched as he set the pieces.

"Won't your elders be angry at you for coming to the compound every day," he asked.

"Not really…the elders know that they cannot keep me away from my teammates…especially after what happened last time," I sighed moving a piece.

"What happened," he asked moving his knight.

"Let's just say they ended up having to rebuild the entire building," I laughed as I moved another piece therefore taking his knight.

"My brother can be quite difficult when it comes to his teammates," he sighed moving another piece.

"Oh it wasn't your brother I caused the damage myself," I answered moving another piece allowing me to take one of his own.

"You are making this a challenge,"

"Well I did beat Shikamaru twice,"

"Hn,"

We continued to play for a while before it could come to an end. I smiled as I moved my last piece and winning the game.

"Nice game Itachi…we should play more often," I smiled.

"Indeed now how about we make it challenging," he smirked.

"How much of a challenge do you wanna make it,"

"If I win then you will do whatever I say for a week and if you win then I will do whatever you say for a week,"

"Alright then it's a deal," I smirked.

We set the board and started to play. I was winning so far until I got distracted by something moving in the corner of the room therefore allowing Itachi to win. I looked back to the corner to see that there was some sort of animal crawling towards us.

"AHHHHH," I screamed as the animal crawled our way allowing us to see what it was. "AHHH A POSSUM," I yelled jumping on Itachi.

He quickly got up and noticed the animal. I could feel him move backwards. I buried my head on the crook of his neck.

"KILL IT ITACHI," I yelled.

"I can't I don't have my weapon pouch,"

"MIKOTO LET US OUT PLEASE," I yelled slamming my fist on the closed closet doors.

The animal continued to walk our way. I heard the door open as I buried my face deeper into Itachi's neck. We fell backwards as the doors flew open and Itachi moved back some more. I opened my eyes to see that Itachi had fallen backwards and I was on top of him.

"Ah sorry Itachi," I said as I got off of him.

He quickly got up. I looked back at the closet to see the possum walking our way. I quickly jump on the closes thing which just so happened to be Itachi.

"AHH SOMEONE PLEASE GET RID OF IT," I screamed holding on to Itachi rather tightly.

"Okaa-san, Tou-san," I heard Kauro say.

I looked at the little boy to see that he had the possum in his hands sweetly.

"Kauro please me a good boy and take that outside please for me," I asked sweetly as I held on to Itachi closer.

"Hai Okaa-san," he smiled walking out of the house with the possum in his hands.

I sighed as I watched him walk away with the possum. I looked up to see who I was holding on too to see that it was Itachi. I could feel the heat rise to my cheeks.

"Ah sorry…I really don't like Possums," I blushed as I got off of him.

"Hn,"

I watched as he walked away. I could feel my heart beat race rather rapidly as my face grew hotter. I shook my head before following after him.
