If only Naruto had known how this day would end, he would've never come out of his bed.

It started as usual, on their daily meeting place at the bridge. Sasuke arrived first, being his punctual self, exactly on time. He took his arrogant position against the railing of the bridge, leaning his forearms behind him on the red steel. He'd waited for like, 10 minutes before Naruto came running down to him, panting that he was sorry and –

"Ne, where's Kakashi-sensei? And why isn't Sakura-chan here yet?" Naruto's hair was ruffled, which didn't surprise Sasuke, and his orange jumper was crumpled and didn't look really clean..

"These two are different questions, dobe, and One; I don't know, and Two; I don't care," Sasuke said.

"Pfffh. No need to snap. bastard. And don't call me dobe," Naruto replied with equal force.

"All right. Dimwit."

"Why you.." the blond stormed at his teammate, raising his fist to hit him in the face, but before he even was able to do that, he felt himself dangling in the air.

"Ahh. Good morning to you too, Naruto, Sasuke. It's always refreshing to see your two favorite male teammates going at it," Kakashi said, his visible eye curling up in amusement.

He let go of Naruto's ankle and the fox boy unceremoniously fell to the ground. Damn gravity.

When Kakashi tried to start his excuses from being late, Naruto pointed the accusing finger at him, and screamed: "YOU'RE LATE! And I know you're going to lie, so Shut! Up!"

"Well, you don't think much of your poor sensei-chan, do you?" the gray-haired jounin pouted under his mask.

"Anyway, Sakura's sick, but we do have a mission which I think you can handle yourselves. I have still some things to do, but when you guys are finished I'll come to check up, ok? Well then, any questions? No? Nice. Then I'll be off. Ja ne!"

And before the two had even the time to ask something, the gray-haired jounin had disappeared in a poof. A packet of papers marked the place where he had been standing.

They read the paper, concluding they had to catch a robber. It seemed fairly easy because it was only about an old lady's purse, but the same old lady would pay them a lot if they would find her purse back.

"Well, what are you waiting for, dobe? Let's get going," Sasuke snapped before he sprinted off into the woods, where the robber was suspected to have run off to.

"Oi, wait for me, bastard!"

----

Sasuke knew they were on the target's track, because the robber had left a track of broken twigs and branches. Naruto was carelessly running in front of him, not caring about them being seen or something, and when Sasuke was about to call him back because he knew the thief was close, said man appeared from behind a tree. Naruto almost sprinted into him, but stopped a millimeter away from the robber's face. Sasuke quickly hid behind the nearest tree, hoping the man in the green jacket hadn't seen him yet.

"So. We've caught you, now give baa-chan's purse back," Naruto stated, trying to intimidate his target, while holding his hand up. When he didn't receive a reaction, the blond jumped at him, about to attack. The robber tried to sprint past him, but this is when Sasuke came into action. He appeared from behind a tree, sticking out his foot.

So, the man fell, Naruto caught him by his feet, and they went to a safer place where they could tie him up and deliver the purse to the old lady.

-----

"Well done, boys," Kakashi said, patting them on the back. "That was really quick."

Sasuke snorted and Naruto nodded while their teacher laid the struggling man on the ground, attempting to tie the hands behind his back.

"Sasuke, can you give me a hand? Please hold him down, while Naruto, you hold his hands together, okay?"

Both boys did as they were told, and when Kakashi pulled out his handcuffs, both boys held the robber still so that..

Kakashi could click their wrists together.

"Er, Kakashi-sensei," Naruto started. "You made a mistake. You tied me to the bastard, instead of the robber's hands together."

"Oh dear!" Kakashi started, faking surprise, while slapping a hand for his masked mouth.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Sasuke said, face sarcastic.

"I did." Grin.

"WHAT!" Both boys yelled, not having expected that answer for real. They started yelling things together, and maybe it was good they screamed so hard that Kakashi wasn't able to hear the insults they were screaming at him. They temporarily stopped their rant when they heard a poof, and suddenly, the man Sasuke was holding down wasn't the robber anymore.

Said man jumped out from under Sasuke and struck the nice guy pose. Gai. ..That's why he Naruto had thought he'd already known the robber.

"Dear youths of Konoha! You needn't yell at Kakashi-san like that! He did this noble deed to learn the youth how to get along with each other! You're the blooming future of Konoha, and it would be a pity if-"

"Yeah, yeah. Springtime of youth, blooming, whatever." Naruto stated, letting Gai's rant completely wash over him and started tugging at the handcuffs. He inspected the lock, and concluded it was immovable. No chance of opening that, seemingly. He gave a sharp tug at the chain, to test if it could possibly break. With that, he also tugged at Sasuke's wrist, of course. Hard.

"Oww, quit it, idiot!" Sasuke snapped, and just for the idiot-part, Naruto gave another tug.

"No need to start a fight now, boys," Kakashi said. "You'll be attached like this for a week-"

"A WEEK?" In unison.

"A week, let me talk, ok? When we see you two are getting along better, we'll release you. When you still fight a lot, it will be expanded with an other week."

Both teens were now struck speechless, and wondered how people could be so cruel to them. What had they done wrong?

Kakashi seemed to read their minds, because he replied: "This is for the sake of your team, okay? Aren't you happy you can get to know the other bette-"

"NO!"

"I mean, how are we supposed to eat, sleep, shower, and.. go to the bathroom?" Naruto asked, his voice starting out yelling, but getting tinier and tinier while he realized how this was going to affect his life.

"Well, first things first. The chain is pretty long, so you'll be able to do quite a lot of things separately. I poured my chakra into this thing, so when you release it - with this key- I will be able to notice it. You may only use this key to go to the bathroom, and that's all. If it's unattached for longer than 5 minutes, I'll personally come to your house to get you. And I assure you, that won't be pretty." Kakashi finished threateningly.

His visible eye curled up and he smiled, continuing: "Anyway, we won't have any missions this week so you can do what you want."

But both boys didn't have any intentions to spend the week together so they turned their faces to each other and said: "Hokage. Now." in unison before grabbing the key and stalking off to the Hokage mountain.

"Ah. Youth. Beautiful, don't you think, Kakashi-san? Kakashi?"

It was a beautiful day in the hidden village of Leaf. The sun shone, there was a light breeze and the birds whistled prettily while the villagers walked through the streets, happily chattering about everything. But there was one person for whom the day didn't look too good. The 5th Hokage. Tsunade was sitting at her desk, seeing a dark cloud approach her from the forest. She sighed and waited until her door would burst open and Naruto would run in, yelling at her, followed by a furious, stoic boy who was just as mad.

And that time would come, she was sure. In about.. 5 seconds. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1..

"TSUNADE-BAACHAN! Thank god you're here, do you know what Kakashi-bastard did? Ne? He tied me to the fricking Uchiha!- Eh, what did you say?"

"I said, I know," Tsunade replied.

"You know? How?"

"It was my idea."

"Eh- EHHH! You must be kidding me, baa-chan! You were our only hope, I mean, you're contaminated too!" Naruto gasped, tears streaming down his face.

"Quit it, Naruto, it's not that terrible, you know. Although, for you-" she turned to Sasuke. "I really pity you, for being tied to that idiot," she pointed to Naruto.

The blond didn't even notice the insult, because he continued his rant. "Not that terrible? You're right, it's not terrible, it's even worse!"

The dark-haired boy took a step forward. "Tsunade-sama, I insist that you release us immediately."

"I'm sorry, I really can't do that. It's for you own good, you know."

After that, Sasuke promptly stalked out of the Hokage's office, dragging the desperate blond with him. This was going to be one hell of a week.
