"Sai?"

The boy looked up from his new work. "Yes, Satoko-chan?"

"This is all so new to me..."

"Please specify 'this', Satoko-san?"

"I mean, having to go around from place to place to find a sutible husband, Sai-kun."

He blinked and looked back down at his new art, erasing and redrawing here and there. "I suppose that traveling constantly could be stressful to someone whom usually just stays in one spot."

She sat next to him. "Would you," she cleared her throat, "Would you sleep with me again, Sai?" she asked shakily.

He paused his brush stroke and turned to her. "But, the bed is so small," he protested.

A dark blush danced across her face. "I-I know," she inched closer to him, "But I still feel uneasy being with myself...You know there are people after me, Sai."

The artist was hesitant while he mentally laid out the pros and cons. On one hand, he'd be close to her if someone actually did try to abduct her in the middle of the night. Though, he would be uncomfortable from the small space...But, she is warm..and she smells nice too, so he could stand it all a bit better. On second thought, Naruto would always call him a pervert when he does, and Naruto likes to make up stories to tell Satoko's bodyguard, Dai. But, Sai is good friends with Dai already, and Dai just likes to laugh about it.

Satoko watched the boy, trying her best to keep her puppy-dog eyes watery. Finally, she broke the silence with a huff. "You mean you don't wanna sleep with me, Sai?" she said, feeling hurt.

He kept his thoughtful look- a hand at his chin, his eyes fixed on the paper infrount of him -and raised a hand at her question, still avoiding eye contact. "No, no. I do wish to sleep with you, but..."

Her eyes teared up. She sniffed, "B-But wha-at, S..Sai-kun?"

He made the mistake of looking at her and her innocent face. "I...I.."

His fate was sealed.

She sniffed again, tears falling freely now, "But..?"

He sighed, slumped over, gave her a hug, and admitted defeat. "Alright...We can sleep together, but we have to get a bigger bed, okay?" he asked sweetly.

Her tears seemed to fade almost instantly, she hugged him tightly. "Thank you, Mister Sai!" she squealed.

He held her close, pulling her into his lap. "You're welcome."

He knew he'd regret that later. Partially because his back would be killing him, and partially because they were being stared at by the people who had just walked in on their conversation.

"What?" said Satoko to the crowd.

A man with long dark hair spoke up first. "Well, you're disscussing something like that, and I believe, seeing as we just walked in, we might've misinterprated something..."

'We' as in himself and the rest of squad seven.

She blinked. "What could you possibly misinterprate, Dai?"

He cleared his throat with a cough, "Well, some may think that you and Sai may be talking about...Sleeping together?"

Satoko raised a brow, not truely understanding the bad part about that. She stared at the people behind him. "Uzumaki."

The blonde stepped forward. "Yeah?"

"What do you think Sai and I were talking about?"

"Having se-"

Sakura immediantly covered his mouth. "Second thoughts." she finished.

Satoko raised a brow. "Second thoughts?"

Sakura nodded in reassurance. "Yes, of course! You know, having second thoughts on what you'd want to eat."

Satoko gave the blonde a look of boredom. "Whatever," she mumbled, getting out of Sai's lap. She walked past them and went into her room. "I'll be in the bath if you need me," she shouted, undressing and walked towards the hot spring.

Dai, whom was used to her behavior, closed his eyes respectivly with a smile. "Yes, ma'am."

Sakura nodded calmly. They were both girls, so she wasn't embarressed.

Kakashi was too busy looking at his Paridise Kiss to notice. "M'hm..."

Sai slept in the same bed. Why should he be surprised? "I understand fully."

But there was always Naruto.

His face turned red and he just stared, amazed that a woman could be so open with herself. "Sa..Satoko!"

She opened the door. "Yes, Naruto?"

"You...You're na...You're clothes are...!" he was shaking, fumbling for the right words.

"I'm naked, Naruto? Is that it?"

He nodded. "Well, duh! Why don't you put some clothes on or somethin'?" he boomed, pointing a finger at her.

She let out a horse laugh. "You getting ho-"

"Okay, time you your bath, Sato-chan!" rushed Dai as he pushed her through the door.

The door slid shut and Satoko, reluctantly, went on with her buisiness.

Is it good? Read and Review, guys!
;A; I just realized how silly it is! Therefore, I redid the chappy.
