True to his word, he would awaken her at 11:30 but, he came at 9 to prepare. Naruto wasn't there to bug him (don't ask). Shock overwhelmed him when he got inside the living room. Kushina was awake, and drinking casually out of a mug.
"Uzumaki?" She looked up and Sasuke immediately felt unsettled. Her eyes were bare of any emotion other than exhaustion and gradually lost their twinkle.
"Hey, um, "
"Why are you awake?"
"S-Sasuke..don't ever..eat 7 pieces of chicken after...freezing water..."
"Are you sick?"
"Not yet. This is just the start." He sat next to her and silently asked her to continue.
"I am the weaker twin, so therefore prone to more sickness." She took a deep breath and steadied herself.
"I'm going to go so weak that I won't be able to speak even, but that will be a bit later."
"Go sleep." She smiled but not the kind that made his heart skip a beat like it usually did.
"It will only get worse with passing time, so might as well get started on the model."
"You aren't lifting a finger Kushina."
"If I drink warm milk, it will prolong my good health." She gestured to the mug.
"Stop talking like you're going to die!"
"Sasuke please!" She yelled.
"Hn."
"Let me do the model with you." She whispered.
"Aa."
"Thank you." She got up and pulled on his sleeve so he could follow her.
"It looks amazing!" She squealed. He smirked satisfied that it went so well. They made a nice 3D model of the eye, inside and out and painted it neatly. Kushina poked red paint on Sasuke's cheek and he raised an eyebrow.
"What? It's cuz you blush a lot." And a paint fight broke out between them.
"Uzumaki Naruto is back 'ttebayo." He gasped at his best friend and his sister. They paused, both angry and glaring at him and covered in paint. Kushina sat on Sasuke's stomach and her fist paused in the air, while Sasuke pulled her hair and was ready to catch her fist.
"Uhhhh...?"
"What the fuck do you want idiot?!"
"To know why you're beating up my sick sister." Sasuke's eyes widened as he was reminded of her delicate period and apologized wistfully.
"I need to get off this grime you covered me in dude." She made a peace sign and slowly trudged to her room.
"Where were you?"
He grinned. "A date, with Sakura."
"...Hn."
"I'm dating her because I want to teme."
"What about Hinata?"
"I don't know. Though I feel much closer to her than Sakura any day." Nice info I can rely. He knows it was wrong to meddle, but he knew that he was selfish when it came to Kushina, so he would gladly do it.
"Make up your mind idiot."
"No. I'm going with the flow." Sigh...
Physics class he sat alone. No Uzumaki around to bug him (or draw portraits of him looking like a shitty whale) and therefore no solstice.
"Hey Sasuke." No answer.
"Sigh. Have you seen Kushina? I got to tell her something." He scoffed.
"Which is?" He narrowed his eyes at Suigetsu.
"Don't get your male thong in a twist, about the fencing tournament between the schools." He grunted.
"Sick."
"Nevermind then. Tell her I said get well soon." He waved and took his seat as the teacher came in. This is going to be one hell of a long day.
Sasuke
Damn girls. Fangirls. Or better yet, damn my stupid genetics. You're being egotistical Uchiha. This is what I was doing most of the day, making up random conversations that would have happened if she was here.
"U-u-uh Uchi-iha-"
"Leave me the fuck alone." I turned around and my eyes landed on Hinata, who looked frightened at my outburst. You fucktard! I should seriously stop doing that.
"That wasn't meant for you." She still looked a bit unsettled and I cursed. This would surely reach Kushina one way or another and she'd cut my head clean off, if I was lucky.
"I-uh just wanted to -uh." She shoved a medium sized bag to me and bowed.
"Please give this to Kushina," I raised my eyebrow at her and pulled her up.
"She'd burn me if she found out about this, so stop."
"Thank you Uchiha-san." She smiled.
"What is this?"
"I m-made her food, b-but I d-don't think she'll eat it yet and-"
"Why don't you take it to her?"
"Well, um, how should I say this.." she took a deep breath before smiling.
"She cares a lot about you." She ran off. What did she mean she cares about me? Exactly as it is idiot. She...likes me? What the heck...
Hinata and Kushina knew each other more than anyone else in the world. They'd understand each other, never hold back anything and I envied the stuttering girl. I wanted to have a unique relationship with Kushina like that, for her to smile at me, eyes twinkling, and assured that she'll always tell me everything.
Is that too much to ask?
After school
Oh..my..
If her eyes were colorless before, now it would have been lifeless. She looked like death would have been much more comfortable then her situation right now. Bedridden and refusing to eat, Kushina lied there doing nothing but breathing heavily and occasionally clutching her stomach with a pained expression.
"Uzumaki..." I sat on her bed, pulling her head onto my lap and stroking her hair gently. She moaned in pain and curled up.
"Why didn't you eat anything?" There was an untouched tray of food, just like her mother told him. She kept coming back with a new tray, only to find the former one exactly how she left it.
I wanted her to yell at me, call me duck butt or whatever. Her tresses felt silky on my fingers as I cleared her face. Her hair toppled an inch away from the floor from my lap, but I stopped touching it. It would have been more intimate if she wasn't sick and weak and couldn't yell at me about being a pervert.
"You have to eat something." She shook her head.
"Kushina..." and nothing.
"Please..." her once shut eyes fluttered open as she pointed to a banana on the tray. I adjusted myself so she could sit up and peeled it open, waiting for her to part her lips. They looked so sweet, so teasing, but I wasn't low enough as to do that to her in this state. I heard someone close the door behind me and turned around. No one was there. Who could've that been? Remembering the task at hand, I fed a once vicious redhead that I didn't particularly mind to be vicious at that moment.
Uzumaki Mito closed the door quickly before her best friend's son saw her there. She became ecstatic about what she saw prospering in that room. Kushina refused to eat for the past 24 hours, and Sasuke comes and gets her to eat in the matter of minutes. She accepted him from then on.
Kushina looked (and felt) much better the next day. She was now walking around again and making snide remarks, though I could still see she wasn't completely healthy.
"Sasuke!"
"Dammit I'm right here woman!" She pursed her cherry lips, eyes iridescent as ever as she punched me on my shoulder.
"What the fuck!" Damn her and her inhuman strength.
"Hinata bowed to you."
"I didn't ask her to!"
"But it happened." Twitch.
"Uzumaki..."
"Don't you Uzumaki me you little prick, Hina is too high to be looking at you even."
"I liked you better when you were sick." Lie. That was a big fat lie. She huffed and folded her arms.
"Fine!" I pulled a lose strand of her raspberry locks behind her ear.
"Stop touching me you perv." Couldn't help a smirk from forming on my lips.
"Sadistic pedophile."
"Shut up."
"Hey guys!" Stupid Naruto and his stupid grins and stupid bad timings.
"I'm a girl dumbo."
"Now, now, is that a way to talk to big bro?" He patted her head.
"Get your hand off of me before I snap your neck."
"We wouldn't be siblings if I did that now would we?"
"Ohhhh big word there." I could feel the air changing as an oncoming brawl was about to break out. That was, until I heard a whistle.
"What was that?"
"It's a new form of communication." She pulled herself up and went to the direction of the sound, closely followed suit by Naruto and I.
After the three of us sat on the floor in front of MnMs, I noticed Itachi leaning on a nearby wall.
"We're moving!" The twins' mother announced. No no no no no. This is where I go quarter of my time (more like two thirds). She looked uncaring for the corners of my eyes.
"No!" At least Naruto shares my pain.
"Why not? Aren't you bored of this unnecessarily big house? Both of you will soon leave me and won't have need for a large house."
"But what about school! Sasuke and.."
"The new house is three houses down their house." Naruto grinned and made a thumb up sign. I relaxed, knowing that Kushina wouldn't-I mean Naruto, oh shit no.
"I'm in dattebayo!"
"We have exams after a few weeks." Kushina stated.
"It's alright; I've already hired some men to carry the stuff-"
"Men?! No soul shall ever touch my stuff." She said stubbornly.
"You can supervise them, if you wish." She grumbled.
"I also remember a cushion being here..." Itachi cleared his throat abruptly and ushered the three up and out of the room.
"We'll be going now, sayonara."
"But-" he closed the door and turned around darkly.
"No mentioning the cushion." He muttered.
"Is that supposed to be scary? Cuz ya look constipated." I snickered. Kushina and her wit.
"Oh no, but we're going somewhere now." The way he spoke scared even me as we got into the car, all three of us trying to be unfazed (Naruto looked like he'd pee his pants any second).
"We have school tomorrow."
"So?" He stopped.
"That was like two seconds." Naruto looked out of the window uncertainly.
"Closeness is key. No one would expect you." Itachi smiled menacingly. The place looked abandoned and run down, most probably built a decade ago as we followed Itachi inside. A pungent smell of alcohol filled my senses.
"You took us to a bar?!"
"Foolish little brother stating the obvious huh?" My eyes narrowed.
"We're underage dude."
"I never took you as one to be boring UK, a few shots never hurt anyone."
"It would if your mom found out."
"That's why she won't now will she?"
"Why shouldn't we tell?"
"Because if you do, I have some dirt on each of you." No questions were asked as they sat down and Itachi ordered a few. The bar wasn't packed, but it wasn't necessarily empty either. I unconsciously pulled her hand when the bartender pushed the drinks in front of each of us and Itachi knocked one back.
"Drink up." I glanced at Kushina who stared uncertainly at her drink, calculating if it would be worth challenging my brother's baseless blackmail. I grabbed my drink determined and knocked it back too, followed suit by Naruto.
"I feel buzzed..." he drank another. She pursed her lips before letting the liquid burn a path down her throat. I could see her eyes gaining affect almost instantly as she drank some more.
"It is nothing like I was expecting." Naruto laughed.
This went on until Itachi got bored and told us to get home on our own (having been nowhere near drunk), leaving us heavily drunk. Me being the least and Kushina the most. Her expression was carefree and drowsy combined, cheeks a crimson shade and a laidback smile adorned her face as she wrapped her fingers on my upper arm.
"Hey Sasuke-kun!" I licked my lips in desire. She laughed at a passed out Naruto before moving her drunken attention to me.
"You're soooo sexy." She pulled me and brushed her tongue on my ear and I lost it. Pulling her down on the counter I kissed down her cheek, to her jaw and finally to her neck as feminine whimpers came out from her rosy lips.
"S-Sasuke-kun." She moaned softly and tangled her fingers in my hair as I sucked, licked and bit her all over her neck, sometimes two at a time. She moaned louder as I found her sweet spot and carefully kissed it.
"Stop teasing me Sasuke-kun." I growled, getting turned on by the way she says it, and pushed her down harder whilst sucking thirstly at her spot and caressing her hip. She squirmed and bucked under me before I realized something. This was not the way I wanted to...
I pulled away from her and tried to overcome the sensation.
"I can't do this to you Kushina." She passed out after that.
"You won't remember any of this." I sighed and kissed her forehead.
"I wish you'd love me back, but that would be selfish." He laughed bitterly and threw the unconscious girl over his shoulder and dragged Naruto away. Damn Uzumakis and their way with Uchihas.
