Disclaimer: Depressing as it is, I don't own Naruto…T.T


"Sigh."

The young Uchiha had been doing a lot more sighing lately. More than 90 of these sighs were being caused by a certain blonde.

He could confidently say that he never wanted to go on a mission with him ever again. It was too exhausting.

This certain mission had been a simple B rank, a spy mission in the sound village. Nothing too difficult, but Naruto had managed to get them into a life or death situation…again. Then he had gotten himself badly hurt…again. Not that he was worried about the blonde, but carrying him back to Konoha was such a bother.

Sasuke shook his head. They were Jounin now, so how had he managed to still be stuck with the dobe? Of course Naruto was stronger than when they were Genin, after all he had brought Sasuke back to Konoha. Despite this Naruto still seemed to lack the common sense that was necessary to stay alive in the Shinobi world.

Unfortunately for Sasuke it was exactly this that made them a good team. Sasuke was smart enough to make up for anything Naruto lacked and Naruto was so full of surprises that it got them out of situations where common sense wouldn't.

"Oi Sasuke!" The voice called to him and broke him out of his reverie. He turned his head to see a mass of orange running towards him.

'Speak of the devil.'

He turned back around and continued walking, not that this helped as Naruto soon caught up with him.

"Teme, don't just ignore me." He scowled at his team mate's cold attitude, "Are you going to the hokages office?" He said eyeing the scroll he was carrying.

Sasuke nodded, "I've got to hand in the report from our mission."

"I'll come with you then! I've got something to ask the old hag."

Another sigh, Sasuke had gotten fed up of berating Naruto over his names for the Hokage.

He saw Naruto grin, knowing it was at his sigh he vaguely wondered just how often he had been doing lately. Too often obviously.

"So your leg is better?" He was referring to the injury that Naruto had received during their mission.

"Yup! Tsunade baa-chan fixed it all up!"

She's probably getting sick of doing that, he's in their every other week.

"Hey Sasuke! After we go to the Hokage's do you want to come with me to Ichiraku ramen? Kiba and Shikamaru are coming too, there's a new flavor out so I wanted to try it!"

He watched the gleeful expression on his team mate's face. He really did get happy at the slightest things; it was kind of cute really.

He stopped in his tracks. Cute? What was he thinking?

"Oi Sasuke?" Naruto walked backwards for a few steps to where his companion had frozen on the spot, looking very scared. He waved his hand in front of Sasuke's face. "Are you feeling alright?"

Sasuke blinked once, realizing what he was doing, before nodding and starting off for the Hokage's office again.

Okay, he thought Naruto was cute, but he still disliked him. Hence the 90of sighs.

"You didn't answer; do you want to come for Ramen?"

Sasuke didn't like Ramen.

"Sure."

But he felt like coming anyway.

This surprised Naruto, who had been refused the many other times he had asked him. But Naruto wasn't the type to dwell on these things, so he just smiled.

"You're really strange sometimes Sasuke."

"Hnn…"

They reached the entrance to Hokage tower and Naruto grabbed Sasuke's hand suddenly.

"What-"

Naruto laughed at the flustered look on his face.

"I know a quicker way."

He brought his left hand up into a hand sign and they were transported into the Hokages office.

Startled, Sasuke looked around at their surroundings in disbelief. The Hokages office was meant to be protected from transportation jutsu's, he looked at Naruto questioningly.

"Only me and a few others can do that." He said proudly.

Why was Naruto included in those people? Realizing he was still holding Naruto's hand he let go and asked, "Why didn't you do that earlier?"

That wasn't what he had meant to ask.

"I wanted to talk to you first."

He was un-convey ably glad when Naruto turned to look around the office and didn't notice the blush that was forming on his cheeks.

"Jeez, that old hag isn't here. I'll bet she's skipping out on her duties!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes. He wasn't about to argue that Lady Tsunade wasn't going to skip out on duties because she was the Hokage. Mainly because he had a sneaking suspicion that Naruto knew the Hokage better that he did, or maybe he was just being his usual self.

"I'll just leave the report on her desk; let's see if we can find her at the hospital."

Naruto nodded and they made their way to the door.

"Huh?"

Sasuke tried to twist the doorknob again, but it was stuck and the door wouldn't open. He pushed harder.

"Let me try."

He moved, Naruto took hold of the door handle and tried to push it, but it remained shut tight.

"I guess she locked it, even though it's not like her to remember. I'll transport us out of here."

He took hold of Sasuke's hand and made the hand sign once again. Several seconds passed and nothing happened. He tried again. Still nothing.

"That is not good."

"Naruto."

"Yes Sasuke?"

He asked it in such a cute way…wait, stay focused Sasuke. Although, he was finding it hard to act angry.

"What does that mean?"

Naruto looked a little guilty, "Well it might mean that Tsunade baa-chan finally made that security jutsu."

Sasuke was trying desperately not to sigh.


Emz: Okay how was that? Very Cliché right? sweat drop I love cliché, I'm sorry!

Anyway, I won't continue if I don't get reviews! :) Because I'm writing two other fics at the moment which I really need to get around to. But this came into my head and I began writing…
