Love Thy Neighbor

Love Thy Neighbor
Chapter 2 Crazys Next-Door


Naruto sighted as another day rolled around, Ino wasn't lying next to him. He pushed himself up as he looked over his shoulders and then back to the mattress that was under him. He sat back on his legs and let his hand roam to his head of hair, messing it up even more.


“Naruto! Come down here!” A shout startled Naruto as he toss a look over at the wide open door.


“I'll be right down.” He called back. He moved a hand around him to push the blanket off his back, he moved his legs from out from under him and let them fell to the carpet floor.


“Naruto! Hurry up!”


Naruto let out a deep breath before lying his face into his hands, rubbing up and down his face as he then stood up. Now wondering what got his wife so excited about. He stomped down the stairs, he round the corner and then found his wife standing in front of the kitchen sink. She was holding a white envelop. “Our first letter to our new home!” She then extended the letter. “...it's from your mother.” There was a hint of disappointment in her voice.


“That's what you woke me up for?” He pointed to the letter. “That's great Ino. Really wonderful!” He tried to sound all excited...but his voice failed him.


Ino bit her lower lip, “why am I always the only one so thrilled about getting our first letter.”


Now feeling crappy then he did before. “Ino-”


BRING.... BRING.


Her eyes lit up, “our first phone call.” She then bolted into the livingroom as the phone had be set up last night. She came back with a pout on her face, her hand pushed against the mouth pieces. “it's your mother. Why is she ruining my firsts!”


A blond eyebrow rose up. “What about the first time you have sex...huh..huh.”


“Why? Your mom will probably find a way to ruin that too!”


“I won't even be thinking about her!” He retorted.


“Oh! Just..here.” She then thrusted the cordless phone to him. “I'll be upstairs...maybe our first visitor will brighten up my mood.”


Grabbing and putting it to his ear, Ino was probably halfway up the stairs as he spoke. “Hey mom. Yea I just now got your letter.” Naruto began ripping the envelop, taking out the paper that was folded three times. It mainly said 'I love you' and 'I will miss you.'


“I was thinking about coming by around noon.” His mother told him.


Noon? Glancing behind his shoulder to the clock on the wall. Noon's only twenty minutes away...will someone else come in that time? “I don't think you should. Mom.”


“Why not?”


Sighing in the phone, “Ino wants the first time to be someone else. You know, like first phone call, first letter in the mail, first visitors.”


“And what better way then your mother?”


Naruto slapped himself to his forehead. “Mom your killing me. Ino really doesn't what you to be all the firsts.”


“Fine!.....I remember when your father and I first moved into our house.” His mother said her goodbyes.


'First Time In The House'


Sakura couldn't believe what she was seeing. Sasuke up in the early morning digging a hole in their back yard with a shovel. “Sasuke...what are you doing?”


“Freaking out are neighbors.” He said with out pause as he continued shoveling.


Sakura looked stunned. “Whyyy?” She drawn up one shoulder.


Sasuke then paused. “Because its something to do. What to help?”


“Huh?”


Sasuke smirked. “You could dowse yourself with ketchup and run over to the neighbors, screaming for help.”


“Sasuke your impossible.”


Sasuke stuck the shovel into the dirt. “Oh come on. Husbands and wifes always help each other out. So help me out.”


Sakura held her hands up, “I'm not getting involve with anything that involves you and the neighbors.”


“Fine then...” Sasuke dismissed his wife and went back to shoveling. Now wondering if he could fit his wife in the hole. Sakura walked back inside the house, closing the sliding door behind her. She had could out to talk to him about there visitor but seeing that Sasuke was far to busy she just let him found out by himself.


'First Time In The House'


“Naruto.” Ino called out as she headed downstairs. “I just saw the neighbor guy digging a hole in the back-yard.”


Naruto stood up from the kitchen chair, he pause to look at her, thinking over what she meant. He moved over the the window and wouldn't you know it, the crazy neighbor was digging a hole. “What the hell.”


“OK I believe you now. Now can you go over there and stop him from murdering his wife!”


Naruto turned his head, pointing out the window. “I'm not going over there.”


Ino gave him 'the look.'


'First Time In The House'


Naruto gulped as he reached the edge of the hole, the raven look up as a shadow moved over him. “Need any help?” Please say no!


Sasuke snorted, “do you know why I'm digging in the first?”


“No thats OK. I don't want any links that would point any fingers at me...ha.” Be a man, Naruto! Don't chicken out!


Sasuke turned away from the blond. “I'm making a koi pond.”


Right... Naruto nodded his head in agreement. “That's cool.” Naruto began moving backwards. “I see you have a lot to work to do.” He gave a wave towards the guy before turning away from him, his eyes widen immediately he calmly walked back to his side of the yarn and he soon rush to the kitchen door. He slammed the door behind him, there was Ino sitting on the kitchen chair. “He's planning to kill Sakura!”


“Naruto.” She whined. “He's just messing with you.”


“Yea right! That guy has a lot of problems!” He told her. He then calmed his breathing as he strolled over to the other chair. “Fine.” He sighed in defeat, “but I'm keeping a watchful eye on him.”


'First Time In The House'


It was some time later that Naruto glanced out from the two story window, he was relived when he saw the hole filled with water and small see-through bags with koi fish. “I guess he was playing with my mind. Asshole! I'll show you!”


“Naruto are you done hanging the bathroom curtains?” Ino shouted behind him, she raised an eyebrow as he was looking out the window.


Naruto turned with a bright smile. “Yup!” He then present Ino her new curtains, the old ones had bug picture and it just freak the both of them out, Naruto didn't say it out loud but Ino sure did by screaming.


Ino walked over to her new 'flower' curtains that she just fell in love with at 'Bed, Bath and Beyond'. She was even thinking about pink toilet covers that she saw there.


'First Time In The House'


Sasuke dumped the last of the koi fish, watching them swam around for a bit before going back inside to get a glass of water. Sliding the glass door open, apon entering the kitchen he saw his wife and mother-in-law. His eyes grew wider. “Sakura? Can we talk in the other room?” Sasuke then bolted from the kitchen and into the living room.


Sakura gave a fake smile to her mother before excusing herself. She gave a long sigh as she entered the living room as her husband paced back and forth in front of the TV. “Sakura why is your mother here? And please tell me that she'd be living soon?”


“Well-”


“Sakura!-”


She stomped her big fat feet. “I'm the woman! I should be the one winning the arguments!” She was sure her mother had heard she yell and knew right then that she would be proud that she had stand up for herself.


Sasuke shrugged. “Fine then. I'll leave you two alone.”


“Wait what!?” Her voice screeched.


Sasuke turned his head away from her. “I have to go in to work anyways, I mays well stay and sleep on the couch. Itachi does it all the time, he tells me how comfortable it was.”


“So- Your going in now?” Sakura asked as she was rethinking about her mother staying. Why does Sasuke always win over their arguments? Was she that weak minded?


Sasuke shook his head. “No. After breakfast and I'll just grab some stuff and head out.” He walked back into the kitchen and finally greeted Sakura's mother, he moved over to the refrigerator and grabbed a few eggs. Heating the pan and cracking the eggs over the edge of the pan and one by one they fell into the heated pan.


Putting some salt and pepper and soon later flipping them. He took them out of the pan and placed them on a clean plate, grabbed two pieces of bread and then left the kitchen. Going straight up to his and wifes bedroom. Sitting on their bed and ate in quite.


Placing the now empty plate next to the TV on the dresser, he walked over to his closet side. Sliding the door open and grabbing a few things that he would need. Taking two different color shirts off the hanger and placed them on his bed side, walking over the the dresser that the TV was on. He grabbed the handle of the drawer that was mainly his. Taking a couple of jean pants and one slacks.


Picking up his shirts off the bed and went down stairs and put the clothes on top of the railing before moving into the kitchen area and looked through the drawers, finding a plastic bag for his stuff. Without a word Sasuke left the kitchen with Sakura following him.


“Sasuke can we just talk about this before you leave?”


“We already talked. As I remembered I said 'no'.” Sasuke stuffed his belongs into the sack. “I'll be back when she leaves.”


She nodded her head. “She'll be gone in two days. I'll give you a call after she leaves to go back to the airport.”


“Fine with me. Oh and feed the fish while I'm gone.” Sasuke paused, he leaned in and kissed her on her cheek before going out the door and into his car.


'First Time In The House'


Humming a happy tone as she folded the first load of laundry. Mostly it was bath towels that had been stuffed into a dirty box before they had left their other house. Ino had the basket beside her feet as she laid them in it. Naruto was down stairs hooking up there TV and other electrician.


Ino was happy as dinner time rolled around and the door bell ranged. She was gigged as she rushed from the kitchen pushed right pass Naruto on his way to answer the door. “You are way too into this Ino.”


Ino bit her lip and turned slowly towards her husband, “how's my hair?”


“Unnn nice?”


“Your such a guy!” Ino looked back to the door and throw it open and found a pink-haired woman on their door step. “Oh hello Sakura.”


Naruto looked over Ino's head, not seeing anyone with her. “Where's your hubby?”


Sakura face sadden. “He's at work and won't be coming back. Do you mind if I can in and talk with you two for a bit?”


“Sure. No problem.” Naruto told her, Ino had stepped aside to left her walk in. “The living room is right in there.” He pointed out. As soon as she was out of ear shot Naruto looked over at his wife. “Sakura killed Sasuke!”


“Oh please?” She had rolled her eyes at that.


'First Time In The House'


Sasuke shifted onto the couch, he was pissed that his brother was working late and would come in and wake him up again. He tossed onto his side as the door opened again and Itachi had walked in and turned on some lights.


“Hey Sasuke. Where did you put the files on the Orochimaru project?” Itachi stopped in front of the couch, glancing down at his baby brother.


“You know where they at! Stop coming in and waking me.”


Itachi grabbed the sheet and yanked them to peek at Sasuke face. “Tch! Sasuke why aren't you at home?”


“Because of my oh so loveable mother-in-law!” He spat out.


“Wasn't she the one who stood up at your wedding and told Sakura not to marry you? Sucks for you.”


Sasuke jerked the sheet from Itachi and covered up his face. “I hate that old bat! She hasn't left me alone and now she trying to move into my house!”
