I'm Such A Meme Whore.
Okay, so I seem to be having troubles coming up with clever ideas to jump start my sn_exchange piece, so. What do I usually do to remedy this?
A meme. (Stolen from a_mae_zing again.)
This is another pick-ten-characters-and-then-look-at-the-prompts thing. I'm doing ALL Naruto characters this time, because I can hardly remember what it was like to be in another fandom anymore.
Rules.
1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Write a fic of fifteen words or less for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.
Characters.
01. Haruno Sakura
02. Karin
03. Uzumaki Naruto
04. Uzumaki Kushina
05. Uchiha Sasuke
06. Uchiha Obito
07. Hatake Kakashi
08. Hyuuga Hinata
09. Sai
10. Uchiha Mikoto
Prompts
First Time, 04 and 06 (Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Obito). - Her dress slides off, revealing the nicest breasts Obito has--"Having a nice dream?"
"KAKASHI."
Angst, 07 (Hatake Kakashi). - When Kakashi returns sans Sasuke, he tells Obito's grave he's failing as a mentor, too.
AU, 01 and 08 (Sakura and Hinata). - They huddle in a ring of salt all night, talking about boys and what they'll do if they survive this.
Alright, that's more than 15 words, but I really like it.
Threesome, 03, 06, and 09 (Naruto, Obito, and Sai). - Sai's not sure how emotions work, but he gets sex, even when there's an extra involved.
Horror, 10 (Uchiha Mikoto). - She gurgles, warning Itachi don't you dare touch Sasuke, then the ANBU-issue knife comes down.
Baby Fic, 05 and 09 (Sasuke and Sai). - Sai finds Sasuke in Tea Country and holds up the baby. "Sakura and Naruto's," he explains.
Romance, 04 and 07 (Kushina and Kakashi). - Kakashi wakes up thinking about Kushina's red hair and gorgeous eyes, and blames Obito.
Death Fic, 02 and 03 (Karin and Naruto). - "Sakura'll be here soon," Karin slurs, dripping blood on Sasuke's corpse. Naruto doesn't respond.
Drabbles.
I'm not doing them all, because I'm suppoised to be writing other things, but I might come back and add the others later. Maybe.
First Time I Seriously Can't Do That, Uzumaki Kushina/Uchiha Obito.
Obito thinks she must smell like a garden--fresh and green, like her eyes. She reminds him of a tomato, but mostly because Minato-sensei said so--
Ohgod, Minato-sensei.
Obito sits up, blushing and staring around the camp to make sure Minato-sensei didn't hear him talking about his wife in his sleep or anything weird.
"Sweet dreams?" Kakashi asks. Obito can hear him grinning, even if it's too dark to see.
"Oh god, my life is over," Obito moans.
Kakashi snorts. "It was just a dream. Everyone has them."
Obito raises an eyebrow. He has troubles believing the great Kakashi ever does anything wrong. (He's even got Being A Total Asshole down to a science.)
AU Sakura and Hinata.
Hinata flinches as another pan goes flying across the room. Sasuke told them that the ghosts couldn't get past the ring of salt, no, not even poltergeists, and no, not even if they threw stuff at the ring, because then it had ghost cooties, Naruto insisted, and then the phone had cut out.
"Only three more hours," Sakura says. Three hours until Sasuke and Naruto crossed the state line, and then only about twenty minutes until they found the little house where Sakura and Hinata were trapped by a herd of poltergeists.
"That's a long time," Hinata mumbles.
"I miss Sasuke and Naruto," Sakura says, wrapping her arms around her knees. "I hate being useless."
Hinata bites her lip as a hairbrush sails around their protective ring of salt. She hates it, too.
Salt is supposed to protect against ghosts--and I don't really know much about poltergeists, but they're really noisy ghosts, with the frightening tendency to throw things, so I thought they probably wouldn't like salt, either.
Horror, Uchiha Mikoto.
Fugaku never hears Itachi coming. Neither does Mikoto, but at least she has her husband's corpse to warn her. Her emotions close down, shinobi instinct taking over.
The entire Uchiha district is silent tonight, which means that they are aware of an intruder, or that the intruder has already taken them out. There is the possibility that this is an attack on Konoha, but more likely, it's an attack on the Uchiha clan.
Mikoto hates herself for thinking it, but the first suspect is her own son. She takes Fugaku's weapons off of his corpse, and when she turns around, she sees Itachi. He doesn't try to use his status as her son to subdue her; Mikoto is proud of him for that.
"Don't touch my son," she hisses, raising a kunai. She has just disowned him. Itachi doesn't try to deny it. His face is fixed in a blank expression; the perfect shinobi mask that all ANBU are taught to wear.
Mikoto sees him coming, but she hesitates for a fraction of a second and his blade is in her gut. Mikoto strokes the back of his head with one hand, and pretends she can't taste blood. He catches her other hand before the kunai can touch him.
It's over.
Baby Fic, Sasuke and Sai.
Sasuke exits his hut to find his replacement staring him down with the same fake smile he wore the first time they met. Sasuke still hasn't learned his name, even years after the whole mess.
"Hello," the replacement says. He's holding a baby. Sasuke would recognize the blue of its eyes anywhere.
"No," Sasuke says, turning around.
His replacement is too fast, catching the door before Sasuke can close and barricade it. "I'm sorry to bother you, but you were listed as one of the caretakers of Sakura and Naruto's child if anything were to happen--"
"Drop the smile," Sasuke snarls.
His replacement doesn't. "--and, I'm afraid something has happened." His smile gets faker as the seconds pass. "They asked me to deliver their final words, as well. Naruto says--"
"I don't care, get out."
"He's sorry he could never bring you back, and--"
Sasuke turns around. The baby gurgles at Sai, and screams as soon as Sasuke's Sharingan alight on it. After a moment, it coos, waving its tiny fists.
Sai chokes on the words. Sasuke doesn't pity him, but he picks up the baby anyway. "Sakura and Naruto's?"
The baby punches him in the nose, full force. Sasuke barely feels it.
Sai sniffles, still smiling. "Yes--her name is Mikoto."
Sasuke feels the name as a tightness in his chest, years of memories suppressed and burned, and even from the grave, Naruto can still make him hurt.
Romance, Kushina and Kakashi.
Kushina bakes chocolate cupcakes for Valentine's Day, and shares them with her husband's genin team. The way Kakashi glows upon receiving his, she knows he has a crush on her.
"How is the baby coming along, Uzumaki-san?" Kakashi asks.
"How do you know I'm pregnant?" she snaps. "I haven't gained that much weight lately, have I?"
Kakashi blanches, fingers digging into the cupcake. "Minato-sensei said..."
Kushina laughs. "I'm just joking. I'm only a month in, so I'm not showing yet." She bends to Kakashi's level to whisper, "We're hoping for a boy."
"Oh?" Kakashi pokes at his cupcake. As soon as Obito is looking the other way, he takes a bite. It's a sort of game she's seen them playing--Kakashi does his best to keep his face hidden, and Obito does his best to see if there's some horrifying deformity under his mask. There isn't, of course, but the thrill of imagining what's under his mask is what makes it fun.
"Yup!" Kushina stands tall again. "He's going to be a great shinobi, I can tell."
Oh, hey, apparently I've done this meme before. :/ Fuck.
