I Want You For Myself (Sasuke/Itachi Romance)

13. Gaara of the Desert

"Hey get up already." I whined poking Sasuke's cheek bored. I had been up for hours and was dying to get out the house. His dark grey eyes opened slightly and glared up at me but I laughed, "It's hard to look so intimidating with that bed head you've got going on."

He buried his face in his pillow turning away from me, his voice muffled, "What do you want?"

"I wanted you to come with me to get some clothes."

"Do you know how early it is?" he said sitting up, staring at me with narrowed eyes.

Surprisingly, I was more of an early bird than Sasuke was and he hated it. I could've gone alone, but everything was just so much more better with him around, even though sometimes he wasn't the most pleasant person to be around.

"Well I can't wear your shirts forever Sasuke." I crossed my arms as I paced the living room with his blue shirt hugging my girly frame. Sasuke had been ever so kind to let me sleep in his bed, which left him on the living room couch while I was staying with him. I felt sort of bad, but he refused to have it the other way around.

"And why not? I think they suit you," he said looking away nonchalantly, trying to mask the fact he actually liked seeing me in the traditional Uchiha clan shirt.

I glared at him, "Maybe, but I don't like receiving death threats everytime I go out in public with your shirt on. People either think we're twins or your fangirls think we're..." I trailed off feeling uncomfortable with the word I was thinking.

"Think we're what?" he asked raising and eyebrow, looking up at me almost slyly.

I gulped nervously. Lovers...

My face reddened as I mentally shook myself, "N-Nothing. Just get your lazy ass up," I huffed leaving him to get ready.

I walked down the market streets humming happily as I swung 3 bags full of clothes from my hand. Sasuke, who was walking by my side, snickered a faint smile on his lips, "Happy now?"

"A little bit," I smiled up at him, my eyes a light incandescent green.

The market was beginning to get busier and more crowded and I knew he would want to leave soon. It was starting to get harder to walk against the currents of people doing their daily shopping. I was just going to say we should leave when I heard a familiar yell.

An infuriated pink head was chasing a blonde Naruto and Konohamaru down the streets. "Huh, Sakura and Naruto? I wonder what's going on?" I thought curiously.

Sasuke sighed becoming restless from being around so many people, "How about we get something to eat and then head back, Akira?"

He got no response. "Akira?" He craned his head to glance behind him to see I had vanished from his side. "Dammit, where did she run off to now?"

I hesitantly turned the corner where I thought I saw the others dissappear around, when I heard the anxious voices of my teammates.

"Put him down!" Naruto yelled at a sand ninja who held little Konohamaru in the air by his shirt.

"You're hurting me!"

"You little leaf brats need to be taught a lesson. Starting with you." [Kankuro] the sand ninja with painted markings on his face raised his fist ready to strike.

I quickly used my shadow portal to appear behind him and kick Konohamaru from his grasp, and he quickly scrambled to Naruto's side. Kankuro turned to glare at me and I met his stare with my very own Uchiha glare. Not as great as Sasuke's, but good enough to get the point across.
