Shisui
Sasuke sighed loudly when Naruto finally left. Peace at last.
He chose that time to properly look around her apartment. He got off the sofa and wandered to the entrance to start.
To the right of the entrance was the wash room, with a washing machine, dryer, clothes rack and other necessities.
Walking out of the room and going forwards was the living area which was very similar to his own. It had an L shape sofa with a matching couch, a rounded coffee table, and a large TV, the same as his own, under the TV was a fireplace, not the best idea to place one, but who was he to judge? Next to the TV was a bookshelf which shelves went left and right in a pattern.
Behind the living area was a kitchen, which was a lot fancier than his own. Not surprising considering Sasuke couldn’t cook anything other than precooked food such as frozen pizza.
The counter covered the walls as there were draws above and below it. Opening up the draws, each one was full or mostly full. The gas cooker was large with a chimney and oven as well. She had a simple table with four chairs out as well. At the end of the counter covering the wall was a bar like wall that had a picture.
Picking up the picture it was a much younger Naruto being picked up by who he assumed was her dad and perhaps her mum. She was on her dads shoulder as her mum jumped up behind them. Clearly no one knew the picture was being taken as none of them were looking in the camera. But they all looked happy.
After the living was a simple bathroom; a bath tub with shower head, sink, toilet and cabinet with a mirror.
Across the bathroom was a store room with cleaning supplies and there was another door leading to a food store room.
Going out of those two rooms he made his way to the last room. Her bedroom.
It wasn’t like your average girls bedroom. In fact, it looked a lot like he had imagined it to. A king sized bed, night stand with a lamp, a desk, and a walk in closet. He was tempted to go in the closet but did not want her to think he was going through her things, it was very rude and impolite to do that to a girl.
-----------------------------------------
Naruto sat in her office as he thanked every higher power in heaven. The mission she was supposed to do tonight had been delayed as the target changed his schedule for everything to be moved to the next day.
She contemplated going home since there was very little else she could do. The mission was planned, everyone knew what they were doing and when they were doing it. She had contacted Neji to make sure he knew what was going on and asked that he relay the message to whoever was going to join them.
She sighed and thought of what to do. If she went home, Sasuke would be there. If she stayed here she would be bored out of her mind. If she went out with her friends, she’d have a hangover the next day, which was something she really didn’t need.
Instead she chose to do some training. Neji was still here and so were Sai and Shisui. The boys were usually more physical compared to the girls, whose job roles mostly consisted on the seduction part. That was more dangerous than her own line of work, because she would never be able to risk blowing her cover if she had none, whereas the girls spent a lot of time with other people where it was easier to get caught. She held a lot of respect for them because of that.
She managed to convince the boys to spar against her their replied being, “Very well.” Replied Neji.
“Sure.” Replied Sai.
“Any day to show you up Naruto.” Replied Shisui, the cheerful bastard.
The four of them made their way to the training area, hand-to-hand combat only. No weapons allowed. Once one hit the ground- they were out. The usual rules, this way no one got more than a bruise or black eye whilst sparing.
First round was Neji and Sai against Naruto and the first guy beaten would stay out of the next match.
Although Neji and Sai currently work in different departments, they used to work together, before Sai moved into the night shift, so their teamwork was almost flawless. However, against Naruto Uzumaki, if it wasn’t completely flawless, you are dead.
Sai was the first one to go down as he had gone from behind to restrain her and he managed to , however Naruto was flexible and managed to raise herself up and behind him, then she hit the pressure point in the back of his neck causing him to stumble forwards, dizzy, as she had not done it properly.
Shisui joined the fight almost instantaneously, this was where it got hard. Shisui and Neji were top of their classes and both were older than her. However she had been living the life of an assassin the same amount of time that Shisui had, despite him being 7 years her senior.
They both attacked after the other, hardly allowing her the time to attack back as she was blocking most of their attacks. Some of them she couldn’t avoid. After five minutes of this she decided to back flip three times and ran to them, jumping over Neji as she used his shoulders as leverage.
She didn’t allow him time to react as she kicked him in the stomach causing him to groan and hold onto it, giving her the time to jump onto his back, making him land on his stomach. Neji out.
All that was left was Shisui. He had been smiling in the corner like a psychopath slash sociopath. It was a very creepy look that gave her the shivers, which she somewhat managed to hold back.
They both stayed where they were, watching the others movements as they wondered which one would crack first. Neither of them had very much patience and charged at the exact same time.
They both knew each other, they had worked together for years. Shisui was one of the very few people who knew her secret and was about the only Uchiha she could stand. Although she got along with Obito as well.
They trained together, fought together even faked being lovers to get flirtatious people off their cases.
The fight lasted ten minutes, both of them landing several hits to the other, but neither of them backing down. In the end it came to stamina and endurance, both of which Naruto had an abundance of, something Shisui lacked, which led to Naruto’s victory.
At the end of the match both of them were panting hard as they made their way to the bench, getting a drink each.
“Hey Naruto? Could I stay at your place tonight? Inaho is staying at mine and Itachi’s place tonight and you know what they’re like.” Asked Shisui as they made their way to the showers. Naruto would take a shower first as Shisui stood on guard to make sure no one came in.
“Ugh, don’t I know it.” She shivered trying to get rid of the memory of walking in on the two of them on her old dining table. She had gotten them to burn the thing as they left. She had not looked the guy in the face and never saw him again after that. They were also very, very loud. “Let me make a phone call before I say yes to that, okay?”
--------
Sasuke was relaxing on the sofa watching CSI when his phone rang. He furrowed his brows, they were ringing on his personal number which only his cousin and brother knew of. Cautiously he opened it and answered, “Hello?”
“Oh Sasuke, you answered. It’s me, Naruto.”
“How did you get my number?” he asked, confused as to how she had gotten his number when he never recalled doing so.
“Oh. You left your phone on my coffee table so I decided to poke about to find your number, and here we are. Anyway I called because a friend of mine wants to stay the night at my place but since you’re there I wanted to make sure you were cool with it.”
“Shouldn’t you be working right now and not wondering about this?” he asked as he turned the volume down, slightly annoyed she had gone through his phone, but he would tell her off for that later.
“My uh… the person I was supposed to be… looking after changed their schedule of the evening for tomorrow, so I don’t need to be here anymore. So what’s your verdict?” he could practically see her hopping from one foot to the other as she tugged on her clothes- wait a second.
“Are you taking a shower?”
“Wow. You turned my casual phone call into a sex call. Well done. I think I should applaud you but I really do need an answer.”
His face turned red at her comment. He hadn’t meant for it to sound like that, “Sorry that’s not what I meant. I could hear water and thought you were in the shower…”
“I am in the shower right now. I just finished sparing with some of the people I work with, that’s all.”
He tried to get the image of naked Naruto in the shower after having a sweaty session of fighting. Bad thoughts, Sasuke, bad thoughts.
“Could you put this person on the phone?”
“Um sure, give me a minute to get redressed. I’ve just finished my shower and he’s standing guard at the door.”
“Wait, he? As in, there is a guy, with a dick, in the showers with you, right now, whilst you are naked? And you want to bring this guy here?” oh he definitely didn’t mind if she bought this guy here. He would kick his ass and then some, for thinking he could go near his blonde neighbour.
“Basically.” She had put him on loud speaker before yelling out, “Yo Shisui! Get over here! I’m decent and someone wants to talk to you!”
Sasuke was reminded of his cousin Shisui for a moment before he told himself, his cousin would never endanger the life of an innocent girl like Naruto.
“Hello?” he was proven incorrect, you should always stick to your first guess. It was indeed his cousin, “Hey, Naruto. Who is this I’m talking to exactly?” he asked the blonde.
“Hm? Oh, it’s my… uh…”
“Her roommate.”
------------
Shisuis eyes grew wide as he heard the voice of his cousin come through the phone. He quickly excused himself and let Naruto get read properly. “What are you doing, living with Naruto?”
“None of your business. Besides, she doesn’t know what I work as, so if you’re staying over the night, pretend I work as a bodyguard alright? I don’t need her in danger. And another thing, what makes you think you can stand in the same room as her whilst she’s naked?”
He had never heard his younger cousin so irritated and angry in a long time, yet he placed that thought to the side as he processed what he had just said. Sasuke and Naruto are hiding that they are assassins that work for the same company. Interesting. Even more interesting, he sounded angry because he was alone with her. Shisui had slept with one of Sasuke’s ‘friends’ and he had never received this much emotion out of him.
“No one but me knows she’s a girl, minus her boss of course. She needed a shower so I suggested I would stand watch to make sure her secret stayed a secret… What name do you go by, baby cousin?”
“Sasuke Uchiage. What do you go by around her?”
“My real name. Shisui Uchiha. But I wouldn’t go about telling her you’re an Uchiha though. She really doesn’t like our family very much.” He shrugged his shoulders as she sat down, waiting for Naruto to finish getting ready.
“That’s fine… Just make sure not to blow my cover around little Miss Uzumi, got it? And make sure not to breath a word of this to Itachi, otherwise I’ll be burning all your anime collectables and manga.”
The humour Shisui had been feeling due to the closeness of their names and proximity was washed away in an instant. “You wouldn’t dare.”
“Oh I would. I don’t want her in danger because of me Shisui. Even if I have to lie to her forever.” Quite a bold statement if Shisui did say so himself, but Sasuke would never see it that way.
“Your secret is safe with me, little cousin. Oh, I guess I shouldn’t call you that for the rest of the evening. Let’s make this easier, we’ll tell her your brother is my roommate, hence why you know me. It’s not a lie, anyway.”
This was priceless. Sasuke brother was sleeping with Narutos aunt, and that was why he would be staying with his cousin and friends apartment. Both of which were sworn rivals who had never met each other with their real names, and were currently living together. If only he could tell someone without there being a risk to his collection.
“That’ll work… Why do you need to stay at Naruto’s place anyway?”
“Itachi’s girlfriend is staying the night. You know what they’re like.” Shisui could practically feel Sasuke shivering as he recollected one of the many times he had either walked in on them or heard them go at it. The two of them did it like bunnies. How they managed that with Itachis low stamina was beyond his comprehension, and quite frankly, he didn’t want to know. Well he did, just not very much.
“Hey, so what’s the verdict, honey?” Naruto asked Sasuke as she took the phone out of Shisuis hand, said male raised a brow at the endearment.
Sasuke huffed in annoyance from the nickname, but chose to let it go. At least it wasn’t a… colourful, nickname like he knew she was capable of. “He can come. But he needs to stay on the couch. NOT the bed. You will also be in the bed.”
Shisui left to go take a shower, snickering as he did so, which in turn confused Naruto because she didn’t know why he was laughing.
“Um… that’s how it usually goes anyway… did you say something to him? He seems to be in a rather giddy mood.”
----------------------
As Sasuke waited for Naruto and his cousin to come, he tried to think of ways for Naruto to not realise his secret identity. The threat he gave to Shisui would usually be enough to keep his mouth shut, but there was no guarantee that he would actually stay quiet.
Just as he contemplated whether he should simply knock his cousin out, the distinct sound out Naruto talking and keys jingling caught his hearing so he quickly picked up the book he had been reading earlier and quickly turned it the right way round.
“Did I hurt your Uchiha pride that much? I swear, you’ve all got sticks up your asses. Sasuke, tell me, do people need to look like their puppies, or cats in Uchiha cases, have been kicked?” for a few moments he thought his cover had been blown and that she knew who he was before he realised she was talking about his cousin.
“What are you going on about?” he asked with a scowl as he placed the book he was ‘reading’ on the coffee table.
They took off their shoes and hung their coats as they made their way over to where he was on Narutos couch. Naruto ended up sitting on the arm rest of the couch as Shisui sat on the sofa, looking highly amused and pleased with himself despite the evident layer of annoyance that shrouded him.
“I was sparring with the boys earlier and I won against Shisui here and he’s very pissy about it. He has more mood swings than a girl, and I am one!” Clearly Naruto felt the need to torture her neighbour as she decided to sit on his lap, arms around his neck, bringing their faces unnecessarily close.
“First of all… this is a man’s pride on the line, it is understandable. Second of all. Get off me or move out of my face.” He snuck a peak at his cousin and saw he was holding back laughter. Gritting his teeth, he moved his hands where the blondes’, and detached them from his neck.
Huffing she got up and started to introduce them instead, “Sasuke this is Shisui Uchiha. One of the very few of his god forsaken family I can actually stand. Shisui this is Sasuke Uchiage. And we live together. In both apartments, of course.”
Sasuke was too busy wondering why the blonde hated his family so much to answer despite the blonde looking at him for support. Instead she decided to wiggle around till she was comfortable, making Sasuke hold her hips and hiss in her ear, “Stop with your wiggling.” He then looked up at Shisui and smiled as he saw the despair in the other’s eyes. He could tell his cousin wanted to tell him brother and was contemplating whether or not he should shoot his cousin for his silence.
“Oh. Sasuke and I already know each other.” Replied Shisui as he waved a hand, as if this was old news.
The blonde on his lap jumped slightly at the proclamation, “Oh! How do you know each other?”
Before Shisui could reply Sasuke did, “My brother lives with him. I’m told his girlfriend is staying over. Even if Shisui and I don’t get along very much… it would be bad if he was mentally scarred again because of them.”
Naruto stiffened, causing him to look down at her, wondering what he had said that had caused her to do so. “Your brother… is sleeping with my aunt…”
“What?”
Shisui could not hold back his laughter as he let out a loud boisterous laugh, falling onto the sofa as he started to hit the floor as well. The two neighbours grew very concerned. Shisui was an Uchiha, even if he often didn’t act like it, he never laughed like this.
Naruto got up and went into Sasukes apartment and filled up a glass of water, giving it to the boy and soon after he calmed down enough to start talking, “Your brother, Sasuke, is sleeping with Naruto’s aunt, Inaho. Both of you have walked in on them so many times… haa… a-and your godparents… Jiraiya and Tsunade… oh. You have so much in common it’s hilarious to look at!” he went back to laughing causing Naruto to grow very annoyed at his and decided to throw a knife at the floor next to him, causing the laughter to die in his throat.
Sitting back on the sofa he cleared his throat. “Um so I’m on the sofa… do you mind if I have the TV on? I’m not tired right now, ya know?” the both hummed in return.
“Sure, just keep the volume low. Sasuke, I’m going bed now. Coming?” asked Naruto as she stood up again and stretched.
“You go on ahead first. I’ll be there in a few minutes.” He didn’t let his eyes wonder away from Shisuis as they both started a small fight with them. She chuckled in reply and kissed his head, causing him to blanch and glare at her. Said glare had no effect as she simply laughed and went into her room.
“So… you’re gonna be sleeping with her. All I ask, Sasuke, is don’t be as vocal as your brother and his girl.” In retaliation for the comment Sasuke threw a cushion at his head. The other male didn’t even move out of its way as he let it hit him on the head, knowing he deserved to be punished for teasing the younger of the two.
Sasuke huffed and went to Narutos room to go to sleep.
