I just realized something.
I have not updated for over 5 months.
I have just realized...I'm a freaking bitch.
So I decided, "I'm gonna update."
Holy shit, the sun came up on west side this morning.
Naruto, aka Our favorite knucklehead who was most definitely not goth or serial killer, was looking at someone with mailicious killing intent that would've made James run for his money.
Of course, one might also want to notice that it was not ordinary person he was scowling at.
It was Danzou, Sai's stepbrother, who has never been defeated and made to top chart 5 times in a row in Naruto's Who-To-Torture-To-Death-Before-Killing-and-Revive-just-to-kill-again list. He was currently smiling happily at Naruto who was scowling un-happily back at him.
"What the fuck are you doing here?"
"Why, I am here to see my lovely brother. Is he in?"
Naruto snorted.
Of course he is fucking in. No matter how sadistic and insane your brother is, he's not a complete mental. Why would he go out when there's fangirls and guys waiting for him, looking for a chance to crush him and ravish him?
"He's not here. DUH."
Smart. Real smart. He's soooo gonna believe that.
"I think you and I both know that he is in."
Okay. Think. Be smooth. Come up with a lie. You can do this, Naruto.
"Yeah, but he went out to...uh...buy a cup noodle."
That was genius.
"He did, now did he?" Danzou raised his eyebrow, obviously not convinced. Who would be?
"Yeah. He loves ramen. I mean, who wouldn't?"
"Well, I'll just wait for him to come back. Can I come inside?"
No, you can't. Of course not.
"It's dirty. You don't want to be in, trust me."
"I'm sure I've handled worse."
"I don't know how to entertain you or serving tea or some shit like that."
"That's okay. I'll entertain myself."
That sounded WRONG.
"Then...then... (sigh) come in..."
Danzou smirked.
Evil bastard.
------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
"Now...
To serve or not to serve.
That is the question."
"Shove it, sensei."
"Sasuke, care to repeat?"
"..."
------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
How did I end up making the tea again?
Especially to this excuse of human being?
...
...
Right.
I'm the only one who knows how to.
"This is a lovely tea, Kakashi-san. I see you have improved on your cooking skills."
You have no freaking idea. The horror of the kitchen.
"Thank you. Now, would you like some sugar? Cream?"
"No, I am fine."
Well, I'm not. Mind getting the hell out of here?
I so did not want to see your face today.
It was tiring enough without you.
"Can I see Sai now? I did come all the way here to see him, you know."
"You know he's not here."
"I saw his shoes while coming in."
Stupid Naruto. Didn't he think through before blabbering him about buying cup noodles? And what kind of fucking excuse is buying cup noodles?
"Why do you want to see him?"
"Well, he is my brother. I have to admit, he kind of grew on me and I do miss him terribly, even after all the disagreements we had."
Shove it. You know you are not even fooling yourself.
"Okay...He's in his room. Do you want me to go and fetch him?"
----So I can get him to escape to secret route that Sasuke and Naruto and I made for this kind of situation?
"No. I'll go and see him personally."
There goes that idea. And we spent so much time preparing for that route, too. What's the point if we're not gonna use it?
"Sure," smile, Kakashi, smile. "His room is down the hall. I'll go with you."
"It's fine-"
"Nonsense. This house is quite BIG and you dont' want to get lost."
Hell no. Not with Sakura in this house as well.
"That would be...appreciated. Thank you."
You are not welcome.
"You are welcome."
----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
"You know, this is stupid."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't think we'll ever be able to use it."
"We'll use it. I just know we will. I trust my instincts."
"Is that the same instinct that got you caught when peeking in women's bathroom?"
"..."
"Well?"
"...Maybe?"
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
"This IS too revealing."
"It is not, hag. You are just too modest for your own good."
Modest? I call it not-being-a-fucking-slut-while-living-with-4-horny-bastards, thank you.
"I am most definitely NOT modest."
"Well, it looks--"
(Knock, Knock.)
"Um, come in, I guess?"
Wow. So people does know manner around this mansion...house...whatever. I never knew that.
The door opened and revealed another...fucking...
Men.
Someone I haven't seen before.
Fuck.
Don't you think freaking four in the house, living with them is enough? But nooooo, they just have to bring their friends in order to make my life even more miserable than it is. I mean, what the hell? Are they fucking testing their luck? Don't they realize that my man killing reflex is on the strain as it is?
...
...
Why the hell did it get so quiet?
"A...aniki?" Sai stuttered and dropped the t-shirt he was holding. He looked at the stranger at the door with frightened eyes and Sakura could see him trembling like a leaf. Once emotionless eyes were filled with so much fear that almost made Sakura cringe. She looked at the stranger in front of the door. He looked at Sai with cruelty in this eyes that were all-too-familiar for Sakura.
Same eyes that her father had before he abused her mother.
Sakura looked at Sai's onyx eyes again, now darkened with fear.
So similiar.
"Sai...my lovely little brother. It's been awhile, haven't it?"
Brother, huh?
"A...aniki...what are you doing h-here?"
Danzou tisked, but smiling inside. So he didn't loose his touch after all. Good. "What do you mean? I'm here to see you, Sai. It has been awhile, you know."
He walked over to Sai and grabbed his upper arm with vice-like grip. He looked Sai in the eyes.
"You were avoiding me, weren't you, my little brother?"
Sai trembled and paled even further. Danzou smirked.
He saw something flashing towards him in his vision, and instinctively ducked, making him let go of Sai's upper arm. He looked towards his attacker, who now stood before him and Sai with determination, hatred and rage in her eyes. Her face betrayed nothing, cold and ice like, but her emerald eyes betrayed her and revealed every single emotion that she didn't even bother to hide. She turned to look at Sai who was still looking at Danzou with fear-strikened eyes.
Too smiliar.
For the first time, Danzou noticed that she had pink hair, was a girl, and was looking at Sai with sympathy and tenderness and with slight disgust. Sai turned to look at her. He tried giving her a shaky smile, but she saw right through it and frowned. Sai's fear disappeared, if only slightly, at the frown and looked at her with slightly less frightened eyes. He tried to smile again, but failed. He read that smile was supposed to ease someone's worry, but it looked like he was wrong. Sakura sighed, closed her eyes, and rubbed her temple in soothing motion.
"Don't even try to give me that smile, idiot."
"Why not, hag?" Sai smiled again, this time his original fake smile back.
"It's annoying."
Sai stopped smiling, but to Danzou's trained eyes, he could see slight upward motion of the lips. It was tiny, but was there nevertheless, and it pissed him off.
That was the same girl. The same girl he saw outside the window. The same girl who was making Sai, his puppet, supposedly emotionless brother, smile. Even if it's a little, tiny smile, it was smile nevertheless. She was the one making his masterpiece crumble at something called emotion. She was destroying the walls he built for his little brother.
He couldn't have that, now, could he?
"Oh, and you must be..." Danzou smiled, a smile that would've made any girl swoon...
...but not Haruno Sakura.
"Haruno Sakura." She said, her voice without looking at Danzou. Sakura continued to look at Sai, and decided that, even though it's guy, he didn't deserve to be tortured like this. She turned around to Danzou.
"Please, get out."
Sai snapped her eyes towards her, shocked. She was ordering him, his brother, Danzou, to get out. Sai shuddered. She didn't know who she was dealing with. He started to tremble again, this time in anticipation as to what will happen to Sakura if she pissed Danzou off too much.
The rope, the light, and blinding pain...
He couldn't have her go through the same thing again.
"Sakura-"
"You," she pointed her index finger at Sai, effectively shutting him up, "Shut it."
"You," she pointed the same index finger at Danzou, who was enraged inside that this bitch would order him to do something, and said the same sentence again. "Get the hell out of here."
"You don't have any authority over me-"
"Actualy," Sakura dropped her fingers and smirked, "This is my aunt's house. As her blood related family, when she's not here, I am in charge. So, as the owner of this house, I am telling you to step out of my property because you are pissing me off. My roomates don't have the authority. But I do."
Danzou scowled. He looked at Sai again, who was looking at Sakura with disbelief and awe written all over his eyes, which would've looked like just staring to bystanders. But he knew better. His eyes darkened and he was looking at Sakura with so much rage that would've made any adult flinch. Unfortunately, Sakura was used to it by her father. He was almost nothing compared to her father.
"Sai, I need to talk to you-"
"He will stay here." She pointed her finger at Sai again without breaking eye contact with Danzou. "He didn't finish with his clothes and I'm not about to let him leave without finishing it. He will stay here and there's nothing you can do about it."
"She is right, you know."
Three faces turned to look at the door, which revealed Kakashi with his stupid crinkle of eyes. Sai sighed in relief, Danzou was fucking frustrated, and Sakura smirked.
About fucking time.
"She has the authority. You can't make Sai do what you want to do. He needs to follow Sakura if he wants to live here. " Kakashi walked over to Danzou and grabbed him, effectively binding his arms behind his back.
"And since my hime ordered me to-" Sakura scoffed, "-I have to take you out of here."
Danzou freed his arms, rather violently I might add, and glared at Kakashi. "I can get out fine, thank you."
"You," He looked at Sakura who was looking at him smugly, "This is not over."
"Oh, I didn't know something started."
Danzou scowled and exited the room.
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
"Sakura..."
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Thank you..."
"...No problem."
----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
"So, then Sakura-chan was like 'I didn't know something started' and smirked and she looked so fucking cool----"
"Shut it, baka."
"Teme! You are just jealous that you didn't see Sakura-chan in action! She commanded Danzou like he was nothing and--"
"I get it. Shut up, baka."
"TEME!"

At the same time, Danzou, aka super sadistic evil brother of equally sadistic but not so evil brother of Sai, scowled, and destroyed his wine glass. He looked at cherry blossom tree that was in front of him and punched the tree as hard as he can. Without any flowers, it wasn't as beautiful as it was and didn't budge at all at Danzou's rage filled punch. He looked up.
"I will get you, Sakura Haruno."
