Chapter 2

I yawned, and stretched my arms. I look around the small apartment, and spot the kitchen. I start to get up and dig around Sasuke's pantry for food to cook. Just store-bought rice balls and some tomatoes. Geez, what was he eating? That is not good for him in the long run, and unhealthy. I look to the door leading to the place where he's sleeping. I roll my eyes, and sigh. I have to go buy food for the guy. I grab my overshirt and shorts and get dressed quickly, also grabbing my bag. I write a quick note, and step out to the market.

People are staring at me, which is unnerving when you're trying to buy basic foods for you and a cousin that barely eats enough to get by. Just because I'm an Uchiha woman doesn't mean I kill everybody, use the Sharingan for my own purpose, nor am I a freak! I sigh, pay for the stuff, and leave with the bags. I bump into someone, and then look up. It's that Inuzuka guy…. Kiba wasn't it? We stare at each other, sizing each other up. "I'm sorry." I say, breaking the silence.

"It's no problem. You're Yomi, right?" he asks, grinning.

"Yeah." I reply, smiling and blushing a bit. He was cute, tan skin, cheerful attitude, and somewhat feral.

That's hot. Well, to me.

We keep walking, until a park is around the corner. Sitting down, and setting the bags down on the ground, we stare at the sky. "The world is a small place. Who knew I would end up in Konoha?" I say, smiling.

"Yeah, who'd know that there were ex-Uchihas?" he replies.

"Who'd know that Sasuke liked someone?" I shoot back.

"What?"

I open the door, then slam it, hearing Sasuke fall out of bed, cursing.

"IF YOU WANT AN ACTUAL MEAL, GET OUT OF THERE!"

I hear him shuffling around, and start cooking. When he finally steps out and into the kitchen, I whack him lightly on the head. "You need to get better sleep habits, cousin." I state, then slide a plate over to him. I start eating by sitting on the counter, and he sits at the table that only has one chair. It's quiet, and not to mention, really awkward. We both finish, and he washes the dishes.

I hear a knock on the door. Well, calling it a knock would be over emphasized. It was like a tap. I open the door, to see the Hyuuga girl, Hinata, standing in a white sundress. "Uh, this is Sasuke-kun's apartment?"

"Yeah, I'm Yomi. Nice to meet you," I reply, sticking my hand out, and she carefully shakes it. "I'll go get Sasuke."

"T-Thank you, Y-Yomi-chan."

"I can see why Sasuke likes you. You're so sweet Hina-chan!" I exclaim, and skip off to get my cousin. I hear the rustling of clothes near the door, so I knock. "Sasuke!" I hiss, "Hinata's here!" he opens the door, wearing a button up and a pair of jeans. I shake my head, and unbutton the first two buttons. "You're on the first date, and it's not some formal place. You're going to the park!" I winced, my cousin was way too tightass. I guess I'll have to hitch along to make sure he not messing up his chances. I dash off to my small closet, and change to a midnight blue midthigh skirt, a white sleeve less blouse, and flats. I finally got my clothes from Suna, thank god. I step out of the apartment, and walk casually, about 30 feet from the two, until I see Kiba in the bushes, eying them too. I sneak over to him, smiling. "Hey!"

He falls over. "Y-Yomi- chan? What are you-"

"The same thing you're doing! Making sure Sasuke doesn't screw up!" I exclaim quietly, before I feel a nudge in my back and a dog whining. "Oh, hello Akamaru," I say listlessly, and pet him. We lose sight of the two, and have to spy through the trees, hopping from tree to tree. It seems to be going smoothly, until Hinata asks one thing from Sasuke.

"Can we get a drink?"

Kiba drops an icy cold can of soda from the tree, and I have no idea how he kept it cold. They look up, and see us sitting in the tree. We both smile and wave. If looks could kill, Sasuke would've sent both of us to the bottommost hell he could at the moment. We both land on the ground and face the two.

"Yomi… you have about a minute to explain why you were spying on us."

"Well, both Kiba and I wanted to make sure you were treated Hina-chan over here right, so-"

"We teamed up to make sure!" he finishes. "We'll be on our way," he states hastily, throwing an arm around me. We walk off, like that, until we get to the marketplace. He winces, "How can you deal with him?"

"By being caring and strict. He knows I care."

He chuckles. "You sound like my mom."

I smile. "Oh?"

"In a good way, don't get me wrong."

We end up in the same café where Sasuke asked Hinata out, and eat lunch there. He orders a sandwich, and I order a rice and meat plate, that has Akamaru and Kiba drooling over when it arrives. I pick out some pork and offer it to Kiba. "Here, say ah~" I tease, waving in front of his face, giggling. He obliges, and I giggle, and feed him. He chews, happy. I hear Hinata and Sasuke talking and laughing. I nudge Kiba, who looks as well. "Ne, they look better comfortable. And look! Sasuke's smiling, and happy!" I whisper.

"Yeah. Meet up with them?"

"Casual?"

"Got it."

We pay, and then saunter up to the two, which everybody was staring at, because both Uchihas were together with someone. "Hey, Sasuke."

"Why are you here?" he pleasantly asks, but his face does not emit pleasant emotions, more like the kind to kill, maybe destroy.

"Just checking up on you. We're going now," I reply, airly, but with a grin that irritates my cousin. "See you guys later!" I say, then walk off, clinging to Kiba's arm. "Kiba. We need a plan of action." I state, after we're out of earshot for him to hear.

"Tell me about it. You know where the Inuzuka compound is, right?"

"Yeah."

"Go over there around 8, and say you're spending the night there with me. I would love to see my mom's reaction."

"Reaction? To what?

"So she can see my girlfriend!" he exclaims, chuckling. I turn red at what he's suggesting, and grin.

"We're dating now?"

"Just now, yeah. See you at 8!" he says, and walks off, whistling for Akamaru.

I'm dating Kiba.

A/N: Next chapter is going to be focused on Kiba's and Yomi's relationship, not to mention their plan for Sasuke and Hinata to have a smooth relationship. Yomi's the type to help out Sasuke, but he doesn't really like that, even if he secretly appreciates she's helping him.
