Don't Let Me Down (Mafia! Sasuke x OC x Mafia! Gaara)

Part 20: Festival

(Noriko's pov)

So it turns out that there was a festival tonight. I had forgotten that there is a festival starting from 2 weeks before Christmas all the way to Christmas Day. It was when most people start selling gifts for the near holiday. 

I wouldn't really call it a festival, more like a market I guess.

We all decided to go. We went straight from school to the fair. Thankfully I had my jacket on along with my beanie and scarf. As me, Hinata, and Temari were looking through the booths I saw the most hilarious thing. 

Sasuke was sitting behind a booth with reindeer ears, Itachi sitting next to him with an elf hat that had elf ears attach to it, while some of the gang members worked in the back wearing Christmas tree outfits. I walked up and kept laughing, even taking a picture of the Uchiha brother's misery.

 "SHUT UP!" Sasuke growled angrily as he glared at me. I was laughing so hard I had to hold my stomach. Tears began to form on the side of my eyes.

"Oh my God! You look so fucking hilarious! Where's your red nose Rudolf?" I asked gasping through my laughs. "Please stop teasing my poor brother Nori, it was our mother's idea," Itachi sighed miserably.

Sasuke glared heatedly at his brother for talking so familiar with me.

I finally caught my breath and stopped laughing. "God that was funny" I said breathlessly while wiping the tears from my eyes. "What're you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be resting?" Sasuke grumbled. I chuckled as I walked closer to him and pinched his cheeks.

I pulled them as far as I could causing the Uchiha to wince in pain while I just continued to smile innocently. 

 "Aw is the little duckass worried about me?" I teased. He scowled as he slapped my hands away. "You're delusional," he scoffed while looking to the side. I rolled my eyes with a smirk as I put my hands on my hips. "I'm healthy as a ox. So what's your guys's booth?" I asked.

"Hot coco stand, but a lot of people have been coming for Sasuke" Itachi smirked as he heard his brother groan. "I hate my life," he hissed slightly. I was about to say something till I felt weight suddenly hit my back.

"WAH~!" I yelped as I struggled to gain my balance. 

"Hello Nori!" a happy voice giggled. I turned to see Nanami, Itachi's girlfriend. "H-Hoi Nana-chan! I could've fell!" I shouted scoldingly at her. her eyebrow twitched as one of her slender hands came around and began pulling my cheek hard. 

"Hoi, hoi. is that anyway to greet your sister?" She asked me darkly. I whined as i tried freeing myself. 

Nanami, a girl who had red hair that stopped mid-back, blue eyes, curvy figure, long legs, awesome personality, and overall drop dead gorgeous. "H-Hi Na-na-mi!" I struggled to say as she continued to pull my cheek. When she was satisfied she got off my back and hugged me properly.

I didn't hug her back as I gently rubbed my cheek. "Man Nana-chan, you still have the strength of a bull," I muttered painfully. 

"You deserve it." she said smirkingly while crossing her arms. I fixed my beanie because it was a little off from when she jumped on me. 

"I've missed you, where you've been?" she pouted a bit. I laughed sheepishly, scratching the back of my head. "I've been busy." I said guiltily. She narrowed her eyes in suspicion causing me to sweat a bit out of nervousness.

"Nanami leave the poor girl alone" Itachi sighed. She pouted at Itachi and walked around the booth and too Itachi who quickly pulled her near him and kissed her. I covered my eyes.

"Ew c'mon keep it PG!" I complained. I heard them laughing at my innocent self causing me to glare at them. "Shut up" I grumbled as I crossed my arms.

"So Itachi do you plan to marry Nanami Uzamaki?" I asked with a smirk. That's right Nanami is an Uzamaki, and is Naruto Uzamaki's older sister. Itachi smirked as he hugged Nanami behind, putting his arms around her hip.

"Soon" he said to me as he kissed her shoulder. Nanami blushed hard, as she soon became a stuttering mess. I laughed and turned back to Sasuke. I put my hands in my jacket pockets.

 "How much longer do you have to be here?" I asked him. "Why?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. "So you can buy me some food duh." I said with a matter of fact tone.

He put his chin on his hand and looked away from me. "Hn, go buy it yourself."

"Aw! C'mon Sasuke! You haven't bought me a meal in ages! Please!" I begged. He glanced at me then smirked deviously. "Fine then. You have to bring in 30 customers," He challenged. I crossed my arms confidently with a triumph smirk, "Hmph easy enough."

"While wearing a costume" All color in my face must've just drained because I felt my blood run cold.
