NARUTO'S POV

There's something on my face. *squeeze squeeze * It's so soft. A pillow maybe? I buried my face on the pillow and squeezed it again. I buried my face more and squeezed it more. That's weird. It has a space in between and it's so smooth. Not like cloth-smooth but like skin-smooth. The pillow's trembling. Earthquake? That can't be right, the pillow's the only one moving. *sniff sniff* It smells good too. Like vanilla perhaps? There's also another smell. *sniff sniff* Medicine? That's an unusual combination. Vanilla and medicine? Kinda like Tsunade Baa-chan.

Oh shit. Retreat! Retreat! Mission Abort!

Too late. I flew the moment I opened my eyes. (Ukai Voice) "Because people don't have wings, they look for ways to fly." Yeah, right! (Woody Voice) "That wasn't flying! That was falling… with style."

"YOU PERVERTED BRAT!"

"Baa-chan! Th-that that was an accident, I swear! I thought you were a pillow!

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!"

"Waaa! Baa-chan Gomen!"

"BRAT!"

Rumors say that the citizens of Konoha shivered at the same time.

After that pleasant greeting, we went down to the kitchen to get tea. I passed by a mirror and saw a bump so big I thought was only possible in animes. Who knew it can happen in real life too? Baa-chan is a monster.

I touched the bump and immediately flinched. "Ouch. You didn't have to hit me so hard. Moreover, you're voice is so loud, I think I busted an eardrum." I looked at her and she was already making coffee or tea, I don't really know. Her boobs are big enough to hide what she's doing.

"Just be thankful that's all you received brat." She finally faced me and judging by the big mug, I'd say it was coffee. She didn't even make me one! And this is MY house! Jeez. Feel at home much?

"Jeez. Are you sure you're a doctor? How did you pass? Did you threaten your professors? I don't believe they would hire a killer in a place where you're supposed to save life, you know, the opposite of kill."

"If you don't stop talking, I'll make sure the least of your worries is your hospital bill. You know what, I think I'll make sure you won't worry at all. You won't worry EVER. AGAIN. *evil grin*"

Shiver. *gulp* I was wrong. She's not a monster. She's a demon! "A-anyway Baa-ehem, what are you doing here anyway? It's still so early too."

"You just arrived here after being away for a long time. I thought you could use a visit. I can help you so I took a day off. What are your plans today?"

"Well first, take a look around the house then unpack and if fate allows it, go out and explore through town. You should take a rest though. I know you don't get much rest."

"Are you sure brat?"

"Yes I'm sure. Besides you really need some rest. You look horrible! You're already old Baa-chan and if you don't rest, I'm sure you'll become even older. You don't want that to happen do you Baa-chan?" I grinned at her then fled the area. I don't want my kitchen to be a crime scene.

3, 2, 1. "YOU STUPID BRAT!" *chuckle* I'm glad Baa-chan hasn't changed a bit. And I'm also glad that there's no alcohol in the house. Alcohol is her power-up. I'm scared to think of what she might do if I did have alcohol.

I reached the backyard and there's a shed and grass. Just grass. This is boring. It's the same with the front yard. Seriously, this house is so dull. I went inside the shed to check the things that I have and what else do I have to buy. What I found is a lightbulb. Just a working lightbulb and an empty shed. *sigh* looks like I have a lot to buy.

I need flowers, gardening tools and I need to build a fence. Too much work. I should just hire someone to build the fence but I will be the one to plant the flowers and also maybe a couple of herbs and spices. Oh! I also need tables and benches, and rocks! Yosh! I'll unpack first then move.

I already called people who will install my fence. Baa-chan already went home to rest. I took a shower and immediately changed clothes. As I was removing my clothes from my bags, the doorbell rang. I answered the door and saw the guys who will install my fence. I led them to my backyard and they got started immediately. I went to continue unpacking. After I unpacked my first bag, I went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat since I got hungry. I felt lonely eating by myself so I invited the workers to eat with me. We talked while we ate then we proceeded to continue our works.

I finished unpacking all my things. Clothes, pictures, and other things. It took approximately three hours to fully unpack my things and fixed them in a position that satisfied me and made me comfortable. I went downstairs just as the workers entered the house. Apparently, They just finished making the fence. I went to check it out and was satisfied. It was a simple wooden fence. I paid them and thanked them for a job well done.

I first went to the hardware store to buy the gardening tools. After I bought everything I need, I went to put them in my car. Did I mention that I have a car? No? Well now you know. It was a welcome back gift courtesy of Tsunade Baa-chan and Ero-Sennin, Baa-chan's husband. He wasn't here because he has a book-signing event who knows where. I didn't inherit a car from my parents since they died in it. Okay, no more drama.

I then went to buy furniture for my porch and patio. For my patio, a small table, one large and 2 small loveseats. All of blue color although a darker shade than my eyes since Itachi loves dark colors.

… Urrrghhh! Damn it. Itachi this, Itachi that. I'm so used to including him in my decisions that I can no longer make my own using my own preference. I already bought it anyway so never mind. Let's just say that I bought it because I love the color. I asked them to deliver it to my house since it doesn't fit in my car.

I accompanied them to my house so that I won't carry the heavy furniture by myself. After being satisfied, I gave them a tip as a thanks to their services. I unloaded the tools from my car and fixed them in a clean position in the shed. I'm not really the cleaning-type of person but maybe because of the new environment, I'm motivated to make myself comfortable.

It's already 3:00 in the afternoon and I'm currently exploring town and familiarizing myself with everything. As I was walking, I saw something that made my eyes sparkle like how Itachi says they do. *sigh* I give up. I don't think I will ever forget him. Only time will tell.

I entered the shop called Ichiraku. I ordered and extra extra extra extra large bowl of miso ramen because I'm extra extra extra extra large hungry. I took my first bite and I saw a whole new world! I feel my clothes explode until I was left in my birthday suit. I was skinny dipping in a bowl of ramen and was moaning of ecstasy! (Get the reference?)

After I finished my first bowl in one gulp, I ordered 5 more bowls of extra extra extra extra large miso ramen. I heard a chuckle and looked at the shop owner.

"Hey old man! Did you cook this?"

"Yes. Yes, I did!"

"Amazing! You're my hero! Can I have your autograph? In fact, will you marry me?"

"I'm sorry. I don't think that's possible. You see, he has a loving family. I'm Ayame. This old man here is my dad." (Do they have a mom in the family? Let's just say they do but I won't introduce her since I'm too lazy to think of her name.)

"The name's Teuchi Ichiraku."

"Naruto Uzumaki at your service! Too bad. I was hoping you could cook for me whenever I want"

"I can cook for you whenever you want. You just have to pay for it."

"Yosh!"

I paid for my food, bid my farewells and told old man Teuchi to expect me everyday. It's seriously the best restaurant in the world! If ramen is the food of the gods, then Ichiraku is the temple of the gods.

As I was sightseeing, I found a flower shop. Just the thing I was looking for. I entered the shop and was greeted by a blonde-haired blue-eyed girl.

"Hi cutie! The name's Ino Yamanaka. How can I help you sir?"

Cutie? Is she talking about me? I looked around me and below me in hopes of seeing a child or a girl but no one's here aside from the two of us. I'm not cute! Seriously, what's with people calling me cute? Hmph! "Uhhm Hi. I'm just looking for some flowers for my garden."

"Oh. Okay. Go ahead and look around sir. I'll be here if you need me." *wink*

"Okaaay thanks." What's with these people?! Are they making fun of me, or do they just have poor taste?

I looked around the shop and saw a whole section just for roses. There were many different colors of roses in that section. I guess it's understandable, roses are the most popular flowers after all. I went closer to the blue ones. These were the most abundant color in the bouquet that Itachi always gave me. I looked at the yellow, the orange and the white. These were all the colors of the roses he gave me. The blue, yellow, orange and white always surrounded a single red rose. The bouquet summarizes his love for me. With that thought, I can't help but smile a little. Damn I love him. I miss him.

I went to check out the red roses. I still can't understand why Itachi always give a single red rose in the middle of a bouquet. I mean yeah I know the meaning of red roses, but why only one? I asked him before but he only smiled and ruffled my hair.

I was still admiring the red roses when a bell rang, followed by a loud screech of "SASUKE-KUN!" Ouch. So someone entered the shop. I didn't turn to see since it's not really my business.

"How can I help you Sasuke-kun?" Judging by the overly sweet voice, I can assume that this 'Sasuke-kun' is quiet handsome. But since I've been called cutie, I'm not really expecting anything.

I heard a deep voice reply "I want a bouquet that I can give to my mother. I'll leave the arrangement to you." I can feel my face heat up. What the hell? His voice is so sexy!

"Okay Sasuke-kun. Call me if you need anything." I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the flirty tone.

I heard footsteps coming closer. Who is this mysterious man with a sexy voice? I could no longer suppress my curiosity so I turned around. I gasped. I can feel my heartbeat quicken. I can hear my heart beat louder.

ITACHI?!
