Babiesaurus: Look, I know I said I was going to do the other pranks…but I don't want to anymore. So! I'm just going to go on with the story and hopefully, you won't hate me!
His anger boiled the insides of him. What were they doing?
Sakura and Ookami were in the book store…kissing! The actual thought of it sickened Sasuke. Besides, he shouldn't be kissing her! A jealous rage blinded him and Sasuke wanted to beat Ookami to a pulp. He frowned immensely as he stormed his way to the book store. He shouldn't be kissing her…but then a scream ringed the air. It knocked Sasuke out of his would-be rampage. Sakura was wet and Ookami was running away.
He frowned. That isn't what he wasn't supposed to do. But he probably couldn't help it. Still, Sasuke strongly disliked him at the moment. He stalked off towards his home. He'll keep Ookami's clothes for now; he didn't want to deal with him.
When he reached the compound gate, he found a much unexpected surprise. A basket filled with all different kinds of food. When he peered through the plastic that was covering the basket, he also saw a book. Finally, after looking through the plastic, he picked it up and brought it inside with him.
"I bet it's some type of scary stalker girl." Sasuke thought with discontent. Taking off the plastic that surrounded the basket, he read the small little note that read 'Sasuke' on the front.
"Here's some food you can have. I didn't mean to run off like that. Sorry a thousand times!" Even without a signature, he still knew who it was from. Kitsune. That girl is a damn mess. He doesn't know what to make out of her, she'll act snobby one day and all angelic the next. What the hell? After setting the note down, he looked at the foods.
There was chicken, sushi, rice balls, and a bowl of soup. For desserts, she packed some sort of spongy cake, a yogurt parfait thing, and some chocolate. He didn't have much of a sweet tooth but he decided to put them in his barely used fridge anyways. He grabbed the chicken and a rice ball and ripped off the plastic wrap around them. He then placed them on a plate and zapped them in the microwave. It was easy, he decided. To reheat things using a microwave.
When it was done he sat at the table by himself and started to eat. The loneliness nagged at him. He needed something to keep his mind off things. Just eating wasn't good enough. He looked back at the basket and saw the book that was in it as well. He got up and grabbed it.
Sitting back down at the table, he flipped through it. It was a cookbook, he realized. Filled with different recipes that looked so easy he could probably cook it. Picture after picture, he looked at all the yummy foods. Salads, fish, sushi, rice, and all other sorts of delicious foods. He ate happily while looking through the cook book.
After he finished his supper and washed the dishes, he went upstairs. He frowned upon his barley used room. It's seems like it's been forever since he actually went to sleep in it. But that's probably because he never went to a sleep-over before.
That night he had trouble sleeping. And he didn't know why. Every time he was comfortable enough to sleep, he'd get fidgety or hot and he'd have to roll over in bed. Even if he'd fall asleep, some unknown force made him wake up and sit up in a snap. He barely got any sleep when the sun shone through his window.
He thumped down his stairs in a tired trance. He stretched and yawned all the way to the kitchen. He couldn't focus on anything, he was so groggy. "Why the hell didn't I sleep last night?" Sasuke thought.
Instantly, he heard a knock on the door. Holy shit! He looked down; he was in only his boxers. And all his clothes were upstairs! Damn it!
"HOT SHOT! Open up!" The person on the other side of the door yelled. Kitsune? What's she doing here? Well, it's only her. "She wouldn't care if I was in my boxers. She was calling me names when I was shirtless." He thought. He headed to the door.
"What do you want?" Sasuke said in his most irritated voice. Kitsune only rolled her eyes.
"Your sensei wants you and your team. He also wants us to come as well." She explained rapidly. Sasuke thought for a moment. What day was it today? Was there any mission he was assigned to? He couldn't seem to remember…
"You bastard! Get some clothes on and let's go!" She exclaimed. Sasuke could easily tell that she was irritated…probably even before she got here. He nodded and speeded up the stairs. He wore his usual attire, even though it might be a bit cold out. He headed down the stairs and saw Kitsune flipping through the cookbook at the dining table.
"Did you know that this was my favourite recipe book? I love everything in it." Kitsune muttered. It seemed almost as if she was talking to herself but her gaze shifted from the book to him. "That's why I wanted you to have it. You're bound to like anything I like."
Sasuke had to smirk at that. He thought she would say something almost meaningful but that's Kitsune for you. Even though he had only been with her for a few days, it was almost as if he knew her inside and out.
"Anyways, let's go!" She hopped up and went to the door. Sasuke followed her. They went to the bridge where they usually met their sensei, but of course, he wasn't there. However, Sakura, Naruto, Tonbo, and Ookami were already there. There was also the awkward silence between Ookami and Sakura and one also between Naruto and Tonbo.
"What happened?" Sasuke asked the pink-eyed girl. Kitsune shrugged.
"I have no idea." She whispered. They both walked into the awkward atmosphere. Instead of the worst thing that the two had expected, the uncomfortable aura seemed to have disappeared when they had arrived.
Tonbo and Naruto crowded Kitsune while Sakura greeted Sasuke. Ookami just went to the edge of the bridge and looked out onto the water. Sasuke couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with the boy. When he looked back, he saw that Kitsune was literally pushing the other two away to see her brother.
"Sasuke-kun, what's wrong?" Sakura asked. He looked back at the pink-haired girl. Her emerald eyes shining with concern.
"Nothing…really." He muttered. Sakura wasn't convinced. So she tried a different approach.
"I heard you and Kitsune went on a date yesterday." She said with a coy voice. She wanted to make sure she sounded either jealous or curious. He'll probably answer to both of the emotions.
"Well, I saw you kissing Ookami." Sasuke seethed. Sakura immediately backed down. What could she say to that? And, Sasuke didn't look too happy about THAT. She sighed. "Sasuke-kun, why do you have to be like this?" Sakura wondered idly.
"I guess we're even, then." Sakura muttered. He only rolled his eyes. She wished so badly she could read his mind; it would make things so much easier.
"It's only even if I kiss someone else." He hissed. Sasuke looked away from the girl; he couldn't believe he said that. But it was true, wasn't it? He again rolled his eyes and decided to walk away. All the girls, no matter who they were, were getting on his nerves.
He leaned on the bridge rail and tilted his head up to the sky. Everything was a horrible puzzle that he didn't want to figure out. He sighed and stared at the clouds slowly drifting by. He wished he could enjoy the little things without having the big things in the way.
"Hey, bastard!" Naruto yelled. Sasuke glared at the hyperactive blonde.
"What do you want?"
"Can I ask you something?" He asked. Sasuke raised an eyebrow towards him. What would he need to ask him? "Why didn't you yell Kitsune-chan's secret?"
"That's just swell. Now what am I supposed to say?" Sasuke asked himself. He considered for a moment. What would be a right answer?
"Would you yell it out after seeing her?" He asked. He had a smirk on which really helped him out. Naruto had a thinking face on.
"No, I guess not." Was his answer. He shrugged and left the Uchiha to be alone. He looked at where Naruto had gone. There was Tonbo, smiling like the idiot he was.
After a few minutes of waiting, Komugi and Kakashi appeared before them from a film of smoke. They had what seemed like apologetic faces but with their masks, they couldn't tell.
"I'm sorry; an old lady had dropped her grocery bags, so I helped her." Kakashi told his students. The loudest of the three, who were Naruto and Sakura, started yelling at him.
"Yeah right, I don't believe it!" Naruto yelled. His blue eyes were smouldering with anger.
"That is so not true, Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura yelled with frustration. Her eyes looked like two daggers poised towards the silver-haired man. Sasuke only huffed. "He's always going to be like this. Isn't that nice?" He thought sarcastically.
"I…I…I slept in." Komugi stammered with defeat. She didn't have a better explanation. Kitsune rolled her eyes, the way she usually handled her lateness. Ookami smiled his forgiveness and Tonbo only grinned mischievously, like he always does.
"So, Kakashi-sensei! What are we doing today?" Naruto exclaimed. The Jounin looked almost mischievous when he glanced towards the blonde.
"Oh nothing, really. I just want you to help fix some things." He smiled and Komugi giggled.
"You'll all be paired up according to your teamwork improvement needs. Then the both of you will fix a bike together." She said with a cooing voice. Like a mother teaching her child how to walk.
"Let me guess, each pair would one person from one squad and the other from the other squad." Kitsune finished in her snobby tone. Komugi nodded.
"Well, it makes sense, doesn't it?" She asked with a slightly stern voice. Kitsune only huffed and reluctantly nodded. Sasuke thought that she heard her mumble something under her breath. He didn't want to know what it was.
"Okay. Naruto, you'll be with Ookami. I don't want you put with Tonbo. Sakura, you'll take care of Tonbo. Sasuke, Kitsune, you guys are together." Kakashi ordered. Everyone yelled 'yes, sir.' The eight of them left the bridge.
All the while, Sasuke glared towards Kitsune. He was being pissed on without the courtesy of calling it rain. Why her, out of all people? That's when he remembered Ookami's words. Kitsune needs to control her temper, a lot like you do, by the looks of it. That's why they're probably paired up; he was going to have to teach her how to control that temper of hers. "Well, that's going to take a while."
"Hurry up, Bastard! You're so slow today!" Naruto yelled. Sasuke flashed a rarely-seen grin.
"Come one, dumb-ass, let's race!" He yelled and started running. Naruto laughed and started running too. Even though they had no idea where they were going, it was still fun.
