Chapter 4 (Bedtime Stories)
They opened the door, Sasuke had never seen such a feminine room in his entire life. The only women in his life, that Sasuke ever bothered with were his mother and aunts. His mothers room was very elegant and sophisticated, probably due to her age. However he'd never been in another woman's room before. He did not expect this, he thought it would look like a dirty whores room, with red walls and black leather all over. This room had none of that. The room was a light shade of pink and the furniture was all white. Soft cuddly animals lay on shelves and on the floor. In each corner of the room their were two basic metal beds, that looked like they could fold in half. The whole room had a pleasant aroma, like soft linen and cherries. Placed in the opposite corner of one of the beds, was a white vanity, covered in perfume bottles and lotions. It was as if the room was for a child and a adult, a complete mixture. Next to the vanity, in the centre their was a massive canopy bed. It had white sheets and big fluffy pillows. But wait, their was something or someone under the covers!
"Dear, we have guests," said Madame Clémence, as she walked over to the bed to shuffle the blankets. Soon someone started to stir. "Come on Sakura, wake up."
What was once a lump on the bed, was a girl with her face turned to the side. "Pink?" Sasuke thought. Then the girl sat up, her face still turned to the side. All you could see was her long pink locks cascade down her shoulders, with the tips of her hair in loose curls. The girl lifted her arms up to stretch and softly yawned.
She then turned around, and Sasukes heart stopped beating.
She was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. No, calling her beautiful didn't give her justice, she was an angel. Her eyes were like massive emerald jewels coated with thick long lashes. Her eyebrows were thick but framed her face, making her eyes pop even more. She had an angelic heart shaped face, at the tip of the heart lay plump glossy lips. Her nose was slightly upturned and fit her face perfectly. She wasn't like most of the women downstairs, who wore excessive amounts of makeup, she barely had any on at all, because she didn't need it. Her long pink bangs were pined to her head by white lace ribbons tide into bows. Some of her loose bangs fell out of the bows, leaving strands to frame her face. She had on, a white baggy undergarment top and white bloomers. She was very frail and petite like a china doll. Even though she was small her creamy legs seemed to go on for miles, wearing knee high black lacy socks.
Sasuke heard Naruto gulp.
Sasuke turned away from the girl, feeling like his face was heating up.
The girl smiled at the two boys. "Bonjour, It's so nice to meet you, finally I get to talk to people my own age" she said clapping and giggling.
Sasuke looked at her curiously, she was like a young child.
Naruto took over and grabbed her hand, kissing the top. "Well, it's lovely to meet you to little lady, my names Naruto. I'm sure we're gonna have a blast."
Sasuke hit Narutos back and gave him a deadly glare.
"Sorry about my friend hear, he's really grumpy," Naruto laughed. Sakura looked at Sasuke who was still glaring at Naruto and giggled.
"Well do you have a name?" She smiled at Sasuke gently.
"Sasuke," he said rather quickly.
"You don't talk much do you, compared to your friend," she tilted her head innocently at Sasuke.
"Hn"
She giggled again. "I guess that's a yes."
Sasuke looked away. Sasuke wondered why it felt like it was getting hotter in hear. And what's with this chick, she was way too happy for someone living in a whore house.
Madame Clémence was the first one to break the tension that lingered in the air. "Well, I'll be going. Enjoy your stay boys, theirs a bathroom through that door, if you'd like to get changed and have a bath." She turned to Sakura "And be a good girl Sakura, don't pester the boys, they seem to be hear for business."
"Don't worry baby, you can pester me all you want," Naruto said with the biggest grin.
Sakura just shook her head and smiled. Sasuke wanted to kill Naruto. Madame Clémence left the room shutting the door. Both boys changed down to their underwear and washed their faces. Sasuke took the bed facing the vanity, whilst Naruto took the bed facing the bathroom door.
Once everyone was in bed Sakura spoke. "So why are you hear?"
"We're hear to write a story for a newspaper," Naruto said enthusiastically.
Sakura sat up in her bed and looked at both of the boys with wide eyes. "Oh, that sounds so exciting, I wish I could be a journalist. It must be so amazing travelling the world and finding secrets." She looked starry eyed, and in aww at the boys.
Sasuke felt a swell of pride, and smirked,"well it's not just easy stuff. You have to have a knack for finding out the truth. Wether people like to hear it or not." She looked at Sasuke with two hands clasped together at the side of her face and nodded adoringly at him. He couldn't seem to help himself, he always had a big ego, but he never tried to impress people, especially women. She was like a young child that was easily impressed by stories. She was so naive and innocent for a girl living in a whore house.
"What are you gonna write your story on, if you don't mind me asking?" She questioned whilst biting her bottom lip.
"It's confidential," Sasuke said with a serious tone.
"Oh," Sakura looked down at the bed like a wounded animal.
"You idiot, look at what you've done," Naruto said glaring at Sasuke. Why should Sasuke care if he hurt her feelings? He's an Uchiha, and his fathers company comes first, right? "We're writing a story on Voodoo," Naruto said, wiggling his fingers for emphasis.
"You fucking idiot, what if she tells people and someone else writes a story on my topic," Sasuke shouted. He was about to get up off the bed to grab Narutos neck. But someone stopped him.
"Don't worry Sasuke, my lips are sealed," she did fake actions pretending to seal her lips and throw away the key. Fucking childish girl.
"Besides, who am I gonna tell. I don't have any friends," she sadly replied.
"Well today's your lucky day, me and Sasuke hear can be your friends," the blond beamed.
"I never agreed to this," Sasuke said looking at Naruto.
"Shut up idiot, do you wanna hurt her feelings again for the second time in one night," Naruto whispered, so Sakura wouldn't hear.
"Yay" clapped Sakura. "I finally have not just one friend but two." She rolled on the bed in delight. "Hey, why don't I help you with your story, by showing you round the area. I've lived hear my entire life, I know the place like the back of my hand."
"No" Sasuke said in a low serious tone.
Sakura cutely pouted and turned round facing away from him, "fine then, I won't take you to see the witch doctor."
Now this caught not only Narutos attention but Sasukes. "Your lying, what would a girl like you know about a witch doctor?" Sasuke retorted with one brow raised.
"I'm not lying, he lives in the bayou. The bayous so big you will need a guide. You could get lost down their, or worse eaten by an alligator." she said with such honestly that Sasuke started to believe she was telling the truth.
"Why would you need to see a witch doctor?" questioned Naruto.
"Well, I saw him when I was five. My mother was sick, so I asked him to cure her of her deadly illness." she said looking down to the ground.
"Did he cure her?" Naruto looked at her with desperation.
"No, the witch doctor told me that it was too late, he could have saved her if she had been brought their sooner. She died not long after." She said with a quiet motionless tone.
"You can help us," Sasuke said. The girl looked up from her bed and her frown turned into smiled. Why did he do that? Why did he feel better seeing her smile? "No, the only reason I'm letting her come is for the story, not cos I give a shit about her," he told himself.
Soon they were sleepy and Naruto was the closest to the light, so he turned it off. Sasuke could hear soft breaths coming from Sakuras direction. The moon light peeked through one of the curtains and shon onto the sleeping girl. He could see her chest rise and fall with each breath. Sasuke wouldn't admit it, but it was quite calming. She looked like a porcelain doll as she lay with her eyes closed.
Sasuke got pulled out of his trance.
"Pssst."
He turned to see Naruto wide awake.
"What do you want dope," Sasuke whispered.
"You like Sakura," Naruto smirked.
"Fuck off," Sasuke aggressively whispered.
"Well you didn't deny it," Naruto said. He the started mimicking Sakura by fluttering his eyes and trying to curling a strand of hair around his finger. "Oh, Sasuke can I help you," he whispered in a high pitched tone. He started to then role play Sasuke by talking in a deep voice, "you can help us Sakura." Sasuke was furious. Naruto loved winding Sasuke up, he tried to hold in his laughter so he wouldn't wake Sakura up.
"Why the hell would I like a dirty little whore," Sasuke replied angrily.
Naruto gasped, "how could you say that about Sakura?"
"Shut up and just go to bed," Sasuke lied down on his bed and turned the other way, so he wouldn't have to see Naruto. Sasuke tried to block a certain someone out of his mind, making it hard for him to fall asleep. On top of that Sasuke could hear Narutos loud snoring. God, this was going to be a long trip
