A ninja love story

Darkness surrounded around them as fast moving trees passed them. Their squad the Anbu Black Ops as assigned an S-ranked recovery mission. When they got to the rally point they were ambushed by the enemy. As the sound of metal filled the silent night one managed to escape and was immediately pursued. But the enemy didn't get very far before he was killed by the pursuer. Before the pursuer turned to return to his team mates he heard distant talking. He followed the noise and made sure he was well hidden. He was shocked to see his kidnapped ally was tied up and ready to be killed.

"Tell us your village's secrets and we'll let you go."

The captive stayed silent refusing to tell. Another enemy ninja responded, "Just kill him, obviously he wont tell us."

The first ninja nodded his head and drew his weapon to strike. But before his blade touched the captive the hiding ninja attacked and killed the enemy ninja. The ninja turned to face his ally and untied him and checked if he was hurt.

"You didn't have to save me I was fine." The now freed captive said as he glared behind his mask.

"From where I was you weren't, besides I couldn't stand to see you hurt you know that!" the other remained silent staring at the other. After a few moments the rest of the team arrived and secured the area. When the area was safe they started for home.

*A week later*

Naruto awoke by the sound of someone hitting his door and shouting, "wake up dobe!"

Naruto jumped out of bed and quickly rushed to the door. When he opened it he saw that Sasuke was staring at him with an annoyed look. But the face melted away to a smirk when Sasuke saw what Naruto was wearing, "are you gonna put some clothes on dobe?"

Naruto was confused by the question until he looked down and saw he was only in boxers! Naruto blushed extremely red and turned to go put some clothes on but was stopped by Sasuke's grasp.

"Or you could just take that off instead, I would prefer that." Sasuke smirked and Naruto looked surprised and slapped Sasuke's hand away, "you Teme!" and Naruto ran to his room and slammed the door shut.

Sasuke walked into Naruto's apartment and sat down on his couch as he waited. When Naruto walked out of his room he walked over to Sasuke and sat next to him. Sasuke pulled Naruto closer to him and kissed Naruto on the lips. The small kiss turned into a make-out session that lasted for a few minutes. The kiss was interrupted by a knock at the door. When Naruto answered the door Sakura was standing smiling at Naruto.

"Lady Hokage wanted me to tell you that the mission you and Sasuke had assigned has been cancelled." Naruto was a little sad that their mission was cancelled but he could still be with Sasuke anyway. Sasuke got up from the couch and wrapped an arm around Naruto's waist, "anything else?" he asked. Sakura blushed at her crush and replied,"N-no Sasuke th-that's all." Sasuke put his other hand on the door and before he slammed it shut in her face, Naruto and Sasuke said good-bye.

Sakura stood at the door for a few seconds before she went back to the Hokage to report. Sasuke turned and pushed Naruto against the door and began kissing him again. Sasuke began slowly going down kissing Naruto's neck. Naruto moaned quietly as he felt Sasuke move his hand up his shirt. When Sasuke removed it he continued lower until he reached Naruto's nipple. Sasuke started licking it and using one of his hands to play with the other, and used his other hand to continue lower.

Naruto grabbed Sasuke's hand and pushed him away. The raven haired boy glared and tried to continue but Naruto did the same thing. Sasuke was getting pissed off and finally asked, "What are you doing?" Naruto blushed, "I…I don't want to do this."

Sasuke silently growled, "And why not? You were ok with it the other night!" Naruto flinched as Sasuke barked his question. (O_O wow…Sasuke has a temper…)

"Please Sasuke…I-I don't want to right now." Sasuke sighed and kissed Naruto, "fine." Naruto smiled and hugged Sasuke.

"Thanks Teme! Ill make it up to you I promise!"

"Damn right you will *chuckles* ill make sure you will." Sasuke smirked and returned the hug, thinking of what things he could do to Naruto that night.

"Um Sasuke what do you want to do now that the mission was cancelled?" Sasuke snapped back from his thoughts, but Sasuke didn't respond and just shrugged. Naruto sighed and started to walk to the kitchen, but was dragged out the door by Sasuke, (Sasuke pulled Naruto out the door by his arm), and out of the building.

"W-where are you taking me Sasuke?" Sasuke smirked, "you'll see."

Naruto slightly pouted but let Sasuke drag him to their destination. About half-way there Sasuke gave Naruto a piece of cloth. "Put it on dobe."

Naruto realized it was a blindfold and put it over his eyes. Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hand and continued. The air seemed to get fresher and he could hear the leaves rustling around. "Are…are we in a forest?" Naruto wondered as they kept going. As they both kept walking Naruto could hear water running close by. Sasuke suddenly stopped and took Naruto's blindfold off. Naruto was right about a river being close by, they were standing in front of one, and Naruto also realized that there was a picnic set up next to where they both were standing. Naruto smiled and nudged Sasuke in the ribs, "you had this all planned out didn't you?" Sasuke smiled and shrugged, and then he led Naruto to the picnic and sat with Naruto in Sasuke's arms.

*Hokage's building*

"Come in." Tsunade replied to the knocking on her door. Sakura walked into the room and slightly bowed to her sensei. "I have just reported to Naruto and Sasuke about their mission ma'am." Tsunade nodded and turned back to her work with a frustrated sigh.

"Is there something wrong lady Hokage?" Sakura asked, Tsunade shook her head, "I received some terrible news from the Village Hidden in the Desert, seems they were ambushed by an unknown enemy while they were on patrol around their border." Sakura looked worried and asked. "Do you think that it's an attack to destroy the Kazekage?"

Tsunade shook her head, "I don't know Sakura, but they have requested help from us, and I have decided to accept." Sakura smiled, "I shall have a team assembled right away-" Tsunade shook her head at Sakura, "this mission… I am marking it as an S-Ranked mission, assemble some Anbu Black Ops, including Sasuke and Naruto, and send them on this mission." Tsunade handed Sakura some papers, "be sure they get this, this will tell them what they need to know about this mission." Sakura nodded and left the room to find Sasuke and Naruto.

*Sasuke and Naruto*

Sasuke laid on the ground with Naruto laying on his chest relaxing on their day off. Sasuke slowly stroked Naruto's hair and closed his eyes thinking about the young blonde. (Hehe… and some other things…^^) Naruto was asleep dreaming about ramen. (Of course…=P) Sasuke sensed someone was coming towards them, and Sasuke gently pushed Naruto off of him and pulled out a kunai. Sakura appeared and Sasuke lowered his weapon.

"Sasuke Lady Tsunade has a mission for you and Naruto." She looked over at Naruto and Sasuke knelt by the blonde and shook him gently, "Naruto… wake up." Naruto opened his eyes and smiled at Sasuke, and then he noticed Sakura and looked at her confused. "Sasuke? Why is Sakura here?" Sasuke looked at him and said, "We have a mission dobe."

Naruto and Sasuke, just leaving the Hokage's building, headed off to meet with their team at the gate that left the village. "Stupid Tsunade… she had to ruin a perfect day…" Sasuke thought, irritated at Tsunade, "when ever she gets the chance she always ruins everything…"

Naruto noticed the irritated look on Sasuke's face, and he just smiled, thinking about how much he loved Sasuke. As they approached the gate a shadow appeared over them and by the time they turned to see what it was Naruto was tackled to the ground. "Hey! Haha! I knew you would be the last one here!"

Naruto stared into the face of a giant dog, Akamaru. "Hey Kiba, mind getting your dog off me?" Akamaru barked and stepped off of him and Kiba jumped down from his canine friend. "Troublesome… you two always cause problems…"

Shikamaru walked up to them with a bored look on his face. "Hey Shikamaru!" Naruto looked around for more team members but he didn't see any. "Is this it for our team?" Shikamaru shook his head and a cloud of smoke appeared behind Naruto and a familiar hand rustled his hair, "well it looks like I get some of my old team mates back."

Naruto turned to see the back of Make-Out Tactics, "hey Kakashi-sensei!" Kakashi smiled and turned to Sasuke, "long time so see huh? You seem well." The Uchiha nodded and looked at Shikamaru and asked, "So are we going to go or what?"

Shikamaru turned to the team, "as you all know the Kazekage requested help from us to find this unknown enemy and find out what they're after. So let's move, we have to get there before anything else happens." Then they all left the village and rushed toward the Village in the Desert.

*Village in the Desert*

Sand blows through the empty village, from afar it looks like no ones lived there for centuries. Only a single ninja disturbs the village's silence. He jumps over roof-tops to the tallest building there, the building where the Kazekage resides. The ninja enters the building rushing toward the Kazekage's chamber, ignoring the other ninjas there who wish to greet him.

"Lord Kazekage! Urgent news from intelligence." The Kazekage looks up from his work, to reveal his dark eyes and a symbol over his left eye.

"What is it? News about those intruders?" the ninja nods and tells him everything he knows,

"they're heading toward our village, if were correct they might be here to harm you."

The Kazekage sighs and sends him away, "Konaha… please hurry… I don't know if my ninja can stop this enemy alone…"
