It was well after nine in the morning when Sakura was finally roused from sleep. She nudged Sasuke in the ribs, perhaps accidentally, but most probably not, to wake him up as well.

With a few ' quite adorable ' curses, they dressed, ready for breakfast. When his mother informed them that Itachi and Shisui had left with Fugaku-san for official police business, Sasuke couldn 't contain his sulking. After all, they had planned to practice again that morning.

It was only after Mikoto-san left the room that Sakura turned to him, a conspiratorial look on her eyes, 'You know, I asked Shisui-nii some questions yesterday. About the investigation. '

His eyebrows rose and he turned his whole body her way, the beginnings of a smirk playing on his lips. Looking around to make sure they were alone, he leaned closer.

'Tell me. '

Sakura 's smile was just as devious.
