Mission: Rumor Problems

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Naruto

Mebuki couldn't believe that her own daughter tried to sneak into her own home without her knowing. She glared down at her pink haired daughter upset and disappointed with her. "Why don't you start by telling me where you've been?" Sakura quickly thought of a lie that was quite believable.

"Training." Mebuki nodded but from the look on her face, she wasn't buying it.

"Why were you sneaking in?"

"I thought that you were asleep and didn't want to wake you by the way where's Otosan?" She inwardly smirked at how quick she was able to come up with that lie and divert the conversation.

"I see... why don't I make you some dinner while you wash up?" Her mother smiles down at her. She knew that smile all too well it meant that her mother was up to something mischievous.

Sakura not wanting her to find out what she was up too quickly rushed upstairs to her room. She lifted the window and harshly whispered for Naruto. "Sakura-chan did you get everything?"

"Naruto take Shinachiku back to your place my kaasan is probably going to watch me like a hawk for the remainder of the night. I'll try to sneak out maybe at midnight. Naruto looked unsure he didn't want to go without her but he had to respect her wishes.

"I know you can take care of Shinachiku just for tonight look he's already asleep so please just do this for me." Naruto thought for a moment and nodded internally promising her that he'll take care of Shinachiku.

"Alright, Sakura-chan." Naruto waved and plastered on a false grin before leaving with Shinachiku. Sakura sighed feeling relieved that she wasn't going to get caught just yet.

Sakura washed up and headed back downstairs. "Sakura I was thinking why don't you and I play some games." Sakura stopped mid-step something was definitely up. She yawned loudly stretching a bit.

"I would kaasan but I'm exhausted especially after all that training I did today."

"Oh, maybe tomorrow and your otosan will be able to join us." Mebuki glared dangerously at her making her uncomfortable in her own shoes.

"You know what I'm so tired I'm going to head to bed right now. Good night kaasan." She does a u-turn heading back up the stairs and quickly swung by the bathroom to grab her toothbrush and other essentials. Sighing Sakura plopped down on her bed, keeping a secret from her mother was almost as hard as working at the hospital. Speaking of the hospital she would have to talk to Tsunade about that since she was taking care of Shinachiku her main income came from the hospital. She doubted she would be able to work there while taking care of Shinachiku.

For the third time that night she sighed and waited patiently for her mother to hopefully fall asleep. She realized her mother didn't tell her where her dad was. Sakura shrugged it off then thought about Naruto and Shinachiku alone together.

She didn't count when they were alone while she was sleeping since Naruto could have easily woke her up if there was a problem. She worried a bit about how it was going back at his place she was probably just worrying for nothing Naruto was extremely charismatic.

Meanwhile, with Naruto, it was a disaster. He only had a moment of peace and quiet and that was when they first arrived back at his apartment. Shinachiku wouldn't stop crying and as each minute went by he only got louder and louder. He would have to apologize to his neighbors in the morning. "Come on Shinachiku please stop crying."
