(please remember that Sakura clearly isn't "normal")


Sakura stayed clanged onto Naruto's arm the entire drive to the house. She rested her head against his shoulder. Naruto was having a hard time steering the car, but he made it to the house safely. He turned off the car trying to pull his arm away from Sakura. She had a strong grip for girl. There really wasn't anything he could do regarding getting Sakura off his arm. So Naruto continued to let her cling onto him.

"You can't hold on my arm like that while I'm driving. Do you hear me? It's not safe.. " He down to her. "Just let go of my arm for a little alright?" Sakura slowly loosened her grip off Naruto's arm. He got out the car and made his way over to the passenger's side. Opening the door and he held his hand out to her.

She grabbed his hand slowly getting out the car. Naruto closed the door behind her. He guided her up the steps to the front door of the house. Quickly he scrambled to get his keys out of his pocket. Finding the keys, he opened the door, and pulled Sakura inside. Hopefully nobody seen him with her. The door closed behind him and he looked forward. Sakura wasn't near him. Already, she wondered off somewhere in his house.

"Sakura?... Where are you?.. " Quietly, he walked through the house. Naruto was hoping she would make a noise to give away her location away. His house was pretty big. The house had about 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a giant living room. He has a basement and an attic too. Both of those areas were full of junk he refused to give away. The house is located in a pretty nice area. Sasuke lived right down the street from him.

There were a few rustling noises. The sounds of paper being moved around or stepped on. Then there was a splat. Naruto's eyes widened and he ran to one of the guest rooms. He knew exactly where she was. He rushed to the room where she was at. Sakura stood there with her hands covered in paint. There was paint all over the floor. Sakura sneezed and used her paint covered hands to wipe her face. Naruto grabbed her hands.

"No, Don't do that!... Now you have to take a bath! Why are you being so difficult?" He walked Sakura upstairs to one of the bathrooms to run a bath for her. Paint got on his hands, but he didn't mind. Turning the hot and cold nobs, warm water rushed inside the tub. Slowly it started to fill with water. Naruto sat himself on the sink in the room and stared at Sakura. "I don't even have any female clothes for you to put on.. " He signed at her, but all she did was smile at him. "This girl really must of lost touch with reality. What's wrong with her?"

As Naruto continued to look at her, he noticed a white band around her arm. He reached down, grabbed her hand, and brought it up to his face. The band looks like the ones you would get from a hospital. On the band were a few numbers. The numbers were "0166". He yanked the band off her wrist and slipped it in his pocket.

"0166? Is this a hospital band or something, Sakura? Were you in the hospital before I found you? But if you were, How did you get into the building?" He jumped off the sink and turned the water off to the tub. "Alright, get in.. " He turned around waiting for her to get into the warm water. Naruto took a glimpse over his shoulder to see, she didn't budge. "Such a difficult girl you are."

He turned around. Sakura's back was facing him. He untied the knot in her thin white robe. The robe fell to the floor off Sakura's shoulders. Naruto kept his head up as he picked her up in a bridal style. Slowly placing her into the warm water.

"Now you sit there and soak. Don't you dare get out of that tub unless the paint is off of you." Before he left out the room a small sign escaped his lips. This situation kept getting weirder and weirder. The newly discovered hospital band around Sakura's arm and her lack of communication skills. Naruto sat in his bedroom. "What am I doing? I have this girl in my home and I don't even know where she comes from or where she lives. Well she lives with me now, but it still feels like I'm kidnapping her. Ugh, What am I gonna do? Well I can look on the bright side. I never had a beautiful girl living with me before." Naruto chuckled like an idiot and grinned as he thought to himself.

Naruto waited at least 20 minutes before he went to get Sakura out the tub. He held a towel in his hand for her as he walked into the bathroom. He held his hand out to her as she grabbed it. Pulling her up, Naruto wrapped the towel around her. She stepped out of the tub and Naruto led her to his room. He didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable by drying her off himself. So she just stood there for a couple moments to dry off wrapped in the towel.

Going into his dresser, Naruto pulled out one of his white working shirts. Since Sakura didn't have any clothing here, she would have to make due with this. He handed the shirt to her. Sakura looked down at the shirt and tilted her head. Then she took the shirt and placed it on top of her head.

"No, That's not what you do with that. You wear it on your body.. Not your head. Okay?" He took the shirt off of her head and placed it in her hands. "Now I'm going to leave the room and you put the shirt on.." Naruto walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. He waited 5 minutes before he knocked on his bedroom making it known he was coming in.

"Knock, Knock. Are you finished yet?" As he walked into the room he seen Sakura standing there still. The shirt was still in her hands. She turned towards the door and smiled at him. "Please don't tell me, I have to get you dressed too?" Naruto sat her on the bed and looked at her. Taking the shirt out of her hands, his cheeks began to burn red. "I-I can't look at her body. I have to try my best to keep my eyes up." Slowly he unwrapped the towel from around Sakura. His eyes stayed up. He grabbed both of Sakura's arms and held them up as he slipped both arms into a sleeve in the shirt. When he felt that her arms were in the sleeves, he put her arms back down. Now the difficult part, buttoning the shirt. Naruto tried his best to keep his eyes up as he felt down trying to get a grip on each side of the shirt. Quickly looking down to get a feel of where the hole was too the shirt, he got a small glimpse of Sakura's breasts. Naruto blushed even harder now, but he got the first button in the hole. He repeated the process until he got to the last tugged at the bottom of the shirt pulling it out of Naruto's hands. It looks as though she was trying to put the button in the hole herself.

"You want to try? Go right ahead!" Sakura held the shirt's ends together. She pulled the ends up to the shirt bringing them closer to her face. Naruto eyes wandered down as he seen that the bottom half of her body was exposed. The blood started to rush to his head. His nose started to drip with a small amount of blood, before he passed out cold on the floor.

Watching Naruto passed out, Sakura grabbed a blanket off of his bed. She covered herself in the blanket and curled up next to him with her head placed against his chest. She kept her head against his chest, listening to his heart beating. The beating of his heart gave Sakura this warm feeling. This feeling of being safe by his side took over her body. Only moments later Sakura fell asleep.

Sasuke walked over to Naruto house. He decided he would catch a ride to work with Naruto instead of driving himself. He knocked on the door a few times, but there was no answer. At this rate him and Naruto would be late for work.


..knock, knock, knock..

There still wasn't an answer.

"This idiot better not be asleep!"

The knocks turned into bangs. Loud bangs. The loud banging noise traveled through Naruto's house until it hit his ears. He woke up quickly with the light weight of Sakura's head on his chest. Gently and carefully he slid from under her making sure she didn't wake up. He rushed up from the floor making his way to the door, rubbing his head.

"Oy, My head is killing me. Why was I on the floor anyways?" Naruto questioned himself while he had a small flashback of last night. Remembering when Sakura pulled up the shirt she was wearing. He started to blush. Opening the door to see Sasuke standing there. "What is it? Why are you banging so early in the morning."

"We have work today, you idiot! I thought I would catch a ride with you." Sasuke noticed the blush on Naruto's face. "Why are you blushing? What are you doing in there?" He peaked through the door trying to get a glimpse of anything Naruto was doing, but he seen nothing at all. All he seen was furniture.

"Holy crap! Work! How could I forget about work! Give me a minute!" Naruto closed the door behind him and rushed into his room. Quickly changing out of his clothes from yesterday into something fresh. He didn't have time to shower nor bath. "Shit, shit, shit, shit.." Naruto grabbed his lab coat. He checked the pockets of the pants he had on yesterday grabbing his keys and the hospital band. Leaving out the house. Naruto and Sasuke made their way to work.

When they got to work things seemed off. Strangely off.

"Well. I'll see you sometime later, Naruto." They separated going to their area of focus.

Naruto got to work immediately. He spent hours testing this new chemical substance out. He carried a clipboard and a pen with him. So he could write down any odd changes and the progress of certain chemicals. This is how most of his day was spent at work. Testing, testing, and more testing. Naruto never seemed to get bored with his job. Maybe it was the fact he was learning new things everyday.

Going down the line of chemicals, Naruto came across a pink one. The pink reminded him of Sakura's hair. He started to worry about her. Just leaving her in the house alone. Anything could happen while she's there alone. Hopefully she would be okay.

"Naruto U. and Sasuke U. please report to Orochimaru's office please." This played from the intercom. Naruto jumped up when he heard his name get called. The big boss wanted him, but why? This is the first time in a long time he was called there. He knew he didn't do anything wrong, but he started to make his way to Orochimaru's office.

"Oh man. What's wrong now? Sasuke even got called." As Naruto got closer to the office's doors, he could see Sasuke. Sasuke turned back to Naruto and scowled.

"What did you do now?"

"I didn't do anything!"

"I know he isn't just calling us in here for no apparent reason!" They walked in the office together. Standing side by side. Orochimaru was sitting at his desk. Three men in white lab coats walked in the room behind Naruto and Sasuke. The men walked up to Orochimaru. One of the three whispered in his ear, but you could sorta hear what he was saying. "Sir, We still haven't found her." Orochimaru responded with "Well keep on looking!" The men walked out of the room.

"Ahh. Naruto and Sasuke. Two of my hardest workers. I need to speak with you two about last night. You two were on a nightly run last night, yes?"

"Yeah, We were." Sasuke was the first to answer him.

"I see. Did either of you see anything weird or out of the normal?"

"No. Well actually, Naruto said he heard a noise.. What did you say it was again? I forgot."

"A noise? What was it Naruto?"

"Oh the noise.. " Naruto hesitated to speak, but he swallowed his fear.. " The noise was a rat remember? It knocked over some boxes! Nothing out of the normal."

"Well boys. Something very important has gone missing last night. It's extremely important that we find it."

"What actually is "It" ?" Naruto stared straight in Orochimaru's face, but all he did was smile at him. Orochimaru was always known for giving this slick smiles, like he's always up to no good.

"I can't reveal to much about it right now, but just know It goes by the name of "0166". A really inhuman thing "It" is.. " Orochimaru laughed.

"0166.. " Naruto's skin got pale and his body went cold. "0166... Those numbers." He put his hands in his pocket gripping the hospital band that was on Sakura's wrist. "It can't be. I don't believe it. Sakura can't be what he's talking about it. We don't test on humans here. Maybe I'm just over reacting." He started to feel sick to his stomach. This feeling is strange.

"Something wrong Naruto? You look like you just seen a ghost?"

"I-I'm fine. Just not feeling to well. Small stomach ache."

"Well I'll let you two go now. Thank you for your time."

"Goodbye, Sir.." Naruto and Sasuke spoke at the same time while walking out the office.

"Well that was strange, Naruto. Wouldn't you agree?"

"Yea, totally. I have to get back to work now. See you later!"

Naruto ran off from Sasuke. His body was still felt weird. "0166". These numbers kept running through his head. "This can't be Sakura. I know It can't be Sakura. I have to find out more. I need to make sure for myself." He ran off to his small lab station and closed the door behind him. His hands pressed against his forehead. He didn't know what to think. All he knew was, He had to get home.
