Chapter 1: Hot Springs

They had arrived at the hot springs captain Yamato promised them. They were shown to their rooms immediately and Naruto was angry to find he had to sleep in the same room as Sai. He went to find his captain.

"I don't wanna sleep next to that jerk!" Naruto complained to captain Yamato.

"You will do as I say." He replied, looming over him.

Naruto backed away grumbling. He laid out his things next to his futon and sat back and watched Sai unpack his things too. He liked the way Sai's abdomen showed between his pants and his shirt. He followed the contours of his muscles with his eyes, wandering all the way down to the waistband of his pants.

"What are you looking at?" Sai said in his almost monotone voice.

Naruto hated how he had no emotion in his voice. Even his eyes were cold and void of feeling. Kinda reminds me of Sasuke…But at least Sasuke showed emotion…

"Nothin much." Naruto retorted.

Before Sai could reply, captain Yamato opened the door quickly, scaring the both of them.

"Here are your robes." He said, handing them out.

Naruto and Sai grabbed towels and followed Yamato towards the hot springs. They entered the room and the spring spread out before them. There were not that many people there at this time so it was less crowded; they had a lot of room to their selves. Naruto wiggled out of his robe and slid silently into the steaming water. He let out a sigh of relief. He could already feel the hot water relaxing his muscles.

He could also feel Sai's eyes watching him. Naruto glared at him from above the top of the water. As if in reply Sai let the towel around his waist drop. Naruto looked away as quickly as he could without making a big scene. Naruto couldn't tell if he did that on purpose or not; he had no expression. At least Sasuke would have smirked…

Sai got into the water next to him and settled a foot away. Naruto did his best to ignore his presence, but something in his mind kept nagging at him that Sai was there. Captain Yamato joined them shortly not breaking the silence. Naruto heard the sound of Sakura's voice through the wall. His mischievous side took over and he moved towards the wall with a sly smile.

"Jiraiya has had broken six ribs, both arms and ruptured some internal organs only twice and the first time was from peeking at Lady Tsunade." Yamato said. "Think about it, Sakura is her student."

Those words sunk in as Naruto quickly backed away and went back to where he was sitting before. He moved himself over a few inches from Sai this time. He closed his eyes and relaxed again thinking about their mission ahead. They hadn't planned out much yet and Naruto only knew the basics. Go to the Tenchi Bridge and intercept Sasori's spy. Naruto looked down at his skin; it was starting to get red. Was it his imagination or did Sai seem to be closer than before? Nah he couldn't be, I would have felt him move…

"I'm getting out." Yamato said. ""I'll be in my room."

Naruto didn't want to be left alone with Sai, so he stood up and got out too, wrapping a towel around him. He watched as Sai stood up and his eyes could help but follow his muscles again. Naruto started at his shoulders, went down over his chest, and again over his stomach where he had no choice but to stop at the water line. He's so pale…Probably because he stays inside drawing all the time…Maybe that's why he has no emotion or no feelings for other people, maybe he never interacted much with anybody… Sai caught him looking but didn't say anything. He let Naruto watch although he wasn't sure why he did.

To his own surprise he handed Sai a towel. He shook his head and walked away, going back to their room. He dried off completely and slipped into his robe. Sai came in and Naruto acted like he was going through his things. When he assumed it was safe to turn around he did and found Sai in his robes too. Sai pulled out his drawing stuff and started doing just that-drawing. Naruto laid back and closed his eyes, not letting himself sleep, just rest. His stomach growled and as if on cue, captain Yamato opened their door.

"Foods ready."

Naruto hopped up quickly and ran into the hallway, meeting up with Sakura. Sai joined them as they followed Yamato. They were led to a room and Naruto's face lit up.

"Is this all for us?" He asked drooling. Before him was a table literally coved with all kinds of foods.

"Yup." Captain Yamato smiled. "Dig in."

Naruto didn't have to be told twice. Sakura sat next to him while Sai joined Captain Yamato on the other side of the table.

Half an hour later Naruto sat back and patted his stomach.

"I'm stuffed." He said.

"Me too." Sakura said and put down her napkin.

"Ok guys get to sleep early tonight and rest up." Yamato said. "We're leaving early tomorrow."

They agreed and went back to their rooms. A whole night with that guy… Naruto complained in his head. He threw himself onto his futon and laid there for a while not really doing anything. He tossed and turned trying to get comfortable which appeared to get on Sai's nerves.

"Can you lay still?" Sai commented.

"Oh shut up and stay over there." Naruto said, facing away from him. Now I can't possibly go to sleep… Naruto thought, irritated. He heard Sai blow out the candle and settle down. Naruto just laid there and pretty soon heard the sound of Sai's relaxed breathing. He turned over and looked at him. He was facing away from Naruto which made him curious. I wonder what he looks like sleeping… Naruto pulled back the blanket and carefully crawled over to Sai. He leaned over him and saw his face looked somewhat peaceful for once. Naruto kind of smiled and had to resist some weird urge to touch his cheek. What the hell is wrong with me?...

He started crawling back to his futon but Sai's sketch pad drew his attention. I really shouldn't go through his stuff… But he found himself picking it up anyway. He flipped through the pages looking at abstract pieces mixed with landscapes. He flipped to the last page and got very confused. He was looking at a picture of himself; nothing too special just a drawing of his face. I wonder when he had time to do this?…and I wonder what it means?... He couldn't absorb the possibility that Sai may have actual feelings. Maybe for him. Beside him Sai stirred and Naruto returned the pad to its original place. He went and crawled back into his bed. He debated to himself on whether he should ask him about it. If he did it would probably end in a fight. Not that he minded but Captain Yamato might kill them both.
