Why is he Acting so Strange

What are you all doing here? You're supposed to be getting ready for the mission!" Ten-Ten yelled at the others and me.

I made a confused look but Sakura spoke before I could, "What mission?"

"Ugh Ino didn't tell you? Dammit. Well Tsunade has a mission for us so you need to get four comfy outfits and a fifth one that is really nice and fancy." Ten-Ten said in a sigh. "Okay I'll see you later."

"Well I'll see you later. Bye Naruto." Kiba said as him and Shino walked away.

"See ya later." Sakura then said leaving.

Hinata and Neji got up and Hinata waved at me, "I'll see you in a bit Naruto-kun."

"Okay later everybody." I said quietly to myself.

I sighed sadly to myself, I don't even think I have anything to wear…no I probably don't. I got up from my seat with a groan damn this is so embarrassing I literally have nothing. Well there is still some dirty clothes but that would be even more humiliating than having nothing at all. Life sucks.

As I was walking to my house I noticed Sasuke standing by the apartment entrance. He had his back against the wall with his arms crossed, his head was looking up at the sky but his eyes were closed.

"Come with me to my house." Sasuke said not even opening his eyes to look at me.

I looked at him confused, was he really talking to me, "Um… are you talking to?"

"Who else would I be talking to?" Sasuke replied finally opening his eyes to look at me with an annoyed glare.

"Oh right. Why do you want me to go to your house?" I asked back.

Sasuke sighed and pushed himself off the wall and walked toward me, "Look I'm not trying to be a dick …"

"Too late." I interrupted in a laugh.

"Shut up and let me speak anyway, I wanted you to come over because I know that you don't have …much. So I wanted to be a gentleman and let you have some things for the mission." Sasuke said quietly as he scratched at the back of his neck.

My brows raised at the Uchiha and all I could think of as a comeback was, "Are you sick?"

"W-what no you Dobe. I'm fine. I just wanted to be nice…you know what never mind." Sasuke said as he turned around to walk away.

I grabbed his wrist and he snapped his head to look at me with a glare, "I appreciate it. Thanks."

Sasuke's facial expression soften but he changed it back to his regular façade as he did his famous, "Hn."

I couldn't help my laugh that I left out as I stared at Sasuke and his "evil" stare. I let go of his arm still laughing slightly and Sasuke continued walking and I followed.

"Hey Sasuke." I said walking beside him trying to get his attention.

"Hn."

I smiled at him brightly and he turned his eyes to me as I said, "You're still a teme."

"And you're still a dobe." I heard him say with a smirk.

We walked to Sasuke's house and he unlocked the door opening but he didn't step inside. I looked at him as he stepped inside and motioned for me to enter first. I had a surprised look and walked in removing my shoes as I did. He walked in and locked the doors then took his shoes off as well. I let him go in front as I followed him upstairs to stop in front of a door.

"Your house is beautiful." I said.

"Thanks. It's all that Uchiha inheritance." He said in a grim voice.

"Oh sorry."

"Shut up there's nothing to be sorry about." Sasuke said as he opened a door and stepped inside.

I followed and gasped when I noticed that it was Sasuke's room…it looked so…normal. I could have figured that the things in his room would be black and red, it just wouldn't be Sasuke's room if it wasn't black and red.

I looked at his huge king sized bed and I couldn't control myself so I jumped on his bed loving how I sunk into the gorgeous memory foam mattress. I let out a moan of pleasure as I felt his furry throw pillows against my cheek. I could fall asleep so fast right now this bed is like beautiful heaven.

"What the hell you can't just jump onto someone's bed like that!" I heard Sasuke yell.

"But Sasuke it feels so gooood!" I said in a loud whiny voice.

I heard a groan come from Sasuke, "Whatever just don't…don't drool."

"Mhmm." I let out a groan as I shut my eyes.

I heard Sasuke walking around and the sound of a door opening probably his closet door to get the clothes. Sasuke was mumbling things quietly to himself that I didn't listen on because there was no need too. I let myself hum quietly to an old traditional Korean song that I use to hear Tsuande Bai-chan sing while she checking reports and made me sit there bored as punishment.

"What song are you humming?" I heard Sasuke ask completely forgetting that I was in his room and on his bed.

I pondered the question in my head and replied to the raven-haired boy, "I honestly don't know."

I heard a chuckle from Sasuke, "Where'd you hear that song?"

"Well when I would act up Baa-Chan would force me to sit in a chair in the corner of her office doing absolutely nothing. She would do paper work, but so I wouldn't kill myself due to boredom she would sing that song, or any that popped in her mind, quietly so only we could hear. It was nice I liked it. So when I'm at home…alone I would sing or hum that song or a bunch of others that I heard Tsunade sing while in her office. Even though I'm a pain in the ass for her and don't listen to her I do care about her…she's like a grandma." I sat up and laughed at the last part.

"You live by yourself?" Sasuke asked with a confused face.

I nodded and he spoke again, "I thought you would be living with Iruka Sensei."

"No it's just me." I put a smile on my face to mask the sadness that washed over me.

I lived alone. Alone as in no parents, no siblings I don't even have pets and it's kind of sad…not kind of, it is sad.

"Oh." Sasuke replied and I smiled again.

"So what are you gonna wear?" I asked him.

He looked at me with a blank face, "Clothes."

"Teme." I said, "You know you only need five outfits right?"

"These are for you." He said as he laid out four outfits. "Are they okay?"

Black Fishnet Long Sleeved Shirt

Black T-shirt (to go over the fish net)

Navy Capri pants

White Kimono Top

With a Long Sleeve Fishnet Top to go underneath

Gray Tight Pants

White T-shirt with a Fishnet Trim on the Sleeves

Dark Red Pants

Black Three Quarter Sleeved Shirt with a Fishnet Trim on the Neck and Sleeves

Orange Tight Capri Pants

"I like them. The first three aren't exactly my specific color choices but they'll do." I laughed and I was surprised when Sasuke let out a small laugh as well.

He looked at me and smirked, "Well not all of us in the world look good in the color orange."

I laughed, "Well I do look quite fancy in my orange thank you very much."

He shook his head with a smirk on his pale porcelain face as he put the clothes I'll be wearing into a backpack.

"I have a couple of old kimonos and stuff if you want to check them out. I don't know what will fit you so you might have to try them on." Sasuke said as he put his hands in his pockets.

"Um…okay." I said.

"Okay come on." Sasuke said walking towards the door.

I got off of his bed and followed the Uchiha out of his room and down a hallway. We made it to a door and when he opened it there was a staircase leading up. We walked up the stairs stopping at another door, when opened I realized it was the attic and it was super cool.

Even though I don't read there was a floor to ceiling bookcase filled to the extreme with books, there was on old looking chair that was by the bookcase angled slightly, and by that chair there was a small end table that had an antique lamp on it. It was a cute, classy little reading area. I also noticed in another corner a black trimmed room divider that had a red Chinese dragon that was blowing fire out of his mouth. In another corner there was a dark purple velvet couch with a gray fur throw blanket over the arm rest. There was a coffee table in front of the couch that had two stacks of books and a couple scrolls on it. In the last corner there was stacks of cardboard boxes which I'm guessing is where the kimonos are. All in all it was a really nice attic that I could definitely see Sasuke in.

"You must really love reading." I said.

"You think." He said walking towards the boxes.

I watched him put two boxes on top of each other and picked them up effortlessly. He walked over to the couch and put them down in front of it.

"Come over here dobe." He said and I did.

He opened the first box and pulled out a purple kimono that I liked.

"Do you want to try this on?" Sasuke asked.

"Okay. Um where do I change?" I asked.

"Over there." He said as he pointed to the room divider.

I walked over and behind the room divider changing into the kimono. It was kind of long, aw and I like this one too.

"To long." I said walking out to show Sasuke who had opened a book and was reading.

I stepped in front of the Uchiha and he chuckled, "You look like a child in his mother's clothes."

"Shut up teme."

"How about this one?" Sasuke questioned pulling out another.

"Nah that's something Shikamaru would wear." I said in a laugh.

"What about that one?" I pointed to another one.

"I wouldn't be caught dead with you in that thing." Sasuke said making a disgusted face.

I laughed and punched him in the arm, "It's not that bad."

"It's pretty bad." Sasuke laughed, "This one?"

"Not really my style." I said to Sasuke, "How about this one?"

"Hell no it looks like shit. It hasn't been washed in kami knows how long it's supposed to be a light green. " Sasuke said.

"That's gross." I said as I sat beside Sasuke who let out a groan and ran a hand in his hair.

"Um Sasuke." I mumbled.

"Hn."

"How about that one?" I said pointing to a yellow kimono that was laying on the floor by the other boxes.

Sasuke opened his eyes and looked to where I pointed. He got up and crouched down picking up the yellow kimono and walking it over to me.

"Try it on I think it'll look good on you." Sasuke said quietly.

I grabbed the kimono getting up and walking behind the divider. I took the pervious kimono off and folded it setting it on the floor next to my own clothes. Once I was done putting on the yellow kimono I stepped out to show Sasuke whose eyes widened slightly.

"What? You don't like it?" I asked getting nervous.

"N-no it's not that. You look really…um…c-cute." Sasuke said looking away.

"What?" I asked not hearing what he said.

"Nothing. Never mind." Sasuke said quickly as he put the other kimonos into the boxes.

I put my hands on my hips and stared at Sasuke intently with a pout on my face, "Tell me teme."

"No it's nothing." Sasuke said lifting the boxes and putting them back in their rightful place.

I waited for him to walk back over and then I put my hands together, "Please Sasuke-kun."

Sasuke ran a hand through his hair and turned his face away from me, "I said…damn… I said you looked cute."

My cheeks immediately turned red and I nodded, "O-oh…thank you. I would say the same but you're not cute so…yeah. No offense. I just mean that you're handsome and stuff." I said nervously.

"Smooth but thanks." Sasuke said in a chuckle, "Okay go get changed while I'll see when we have to meet everyone else. I'll be downstairs in my room, come down when you're done."

"Okay. Don't leave without me teme." I said walking behind the divider.

I heard a scuff which I'm guessing was from the Uchiha, "Now why would I do that?"

I laughed as I removed the kimono folding it neatly, "Because you're you that's why."

Sasuke laughed, "Shut up Naruto."

"Make me." As I said the words I poked my head out from behind the divider and stuck my tongue out to the Uchiha who only shook his head with a laugh.

Sasuke's laugh died quickly but he still wore a friendly smirk on his face as he put his hands into his pockets, "If you don't shut your damn mouth I'll burn your ass to bits."

"Oooh so the Uchiha can be a little sassy." I chuckled as I finished putting my clothes on.

"Hn. Sure can." He said to me as I walked out with the yellow kimono in my hand.

I followed the other male as we walked downstairs toward his room. As we entered I put the kimono into my backpack and laid down back on his bed.

"Ugh really Naruto." I heard Sasuke groan again and I laughed slightly.

I turned on my side facing Sasuke who had a glare, "I can't help it your bed just feels so nice. Just be glad I haven't gotten under your covers."

"I would drag your ass out if you did that." Sasuke said seriously.

"No you wouldn't." I shot back and he raised a brow as if saying 'try me'.

"Hn." Sasuke replied.

I smirked and closed my eyes enjoying the feel of the comfy utopia underneath me.

I yelled when I felt a hand on my ankle dragging me off the bed. I opened my eyes to see Sasuke pulling me off like I weighed nothing.

I moved my leg making his hand retract from my ankle, "Okay I got your point teme. Just hurry up and call Tsunade dammit."

"Hn." Sasuke said smirking as he walked to the phone that was on the wall.

"What time do we have to meet?" Sasuke asked in a bored and annoyed tone not even saying a hello to whoever answered.

I didn't listen after that I just rearranged myself on the bed and closed my eyes again relaxing quickly. I didn't keep my guard up I didn't feel the need to because as shocking as it sounds I do trust Sasuke…with my life. I let out a deep breath as I started humming the rest of the song from earlier.

'Well that Uchiha sure has been … friendly don't you think?' I heard Kyuubi say to me.

'Yeah I think it's a little strange but he also said himself that he wanted to be nice. I don't mind it though I actually like this side of him it's kind of cute which is also strange.' I replied mentally.

I heard the deep sound of Kyuubi's laugh bounce inside my head, 'Do you happen to like him? Does my little kit have a crush on his mortal enemy Uchiha Sasuke? I am definitely shocked…happy but shocked.'

'What?! I never said that I have a crush I just think this new side of him is c-cute that's all I said.' I replied quickly.

'Do you find this man attractive?'

'W-what no…no…well I mean he is nice looking.' I said awkwardly.

'Nice looking? Really Naruto? You do know I can tell if you're lying? I can smell it on you.' Kyuubi said and I knew that he was right.

I mentally groaned, 'Fine. I do think that Sasuke is a-attractive. He's hot okay is that what you wanted to hear you stupid fox.'

'Yes that is exactly what I wanted to hear thank you. I must go your crush just got done with his call. Good night my kit.' Kyuubi bid me a goodbye which I replied to saying good night as well.

"Naruto get up we have to be there in forty minutes." Sasuke said.

I opened my eyes to see him slinging his backpack on and picking up mine as well. I got up and stretched groaning as I heard snaps and loud cracks. I was about to grab my back but Sasuke shook his head no saying he'll carry it instead.

"Are you hungry?" Sasuke asked me as we exited his room.

I scratched my head and smiled, "Yeah. Why are you gonna treat me to some Ramon?"

"Yes." Was all Sasuke replied and I smiled giving a loud cheer.

We put our shoes on and I exited first so Sasuke could close the door behind me which he did.

"Thanks."

We were walking and Sasuke turned a quick glance to me, "For?"

"Everything you know Sasuke I really like this side of you it's very…hmm attractive, not to sound weird or anything. It's different but I really like it…love it actually." I smiled but I didn't look at the man beside me.

I saw him nod and I could have sworn I saw a slight blush on Sasuke's face from the corner of my eye, unless my mind is playing tricks on me. I mean really Sasuke blushing? Blushing. That's insane…extremely illogical.

We made it to Ichiraku's Ramon Shop and I sat down happily. Sasuke put the bags down closely next to us and sat down himself.

"Hey Naruto." Ayame said with her usual bright and cheery smile.

I shot back a smile, "Hey."

"So what can I get my little cutie?"

I looked at Sasuke who was glaring intently at Ayame for some unknown reason that I didn't care to figure out, "What can I get?"

"Anything. I'm treating so get whatever you want just don't get yourself sick." Sasuke replied still not taking his eyes off of Ayame.

I smiled and launched myself at Sasuke giving him a tight hug, "Oh really? Thank you so much Sasuke! You're the best."

I let go and noticed that Sasuke now had his eyes on me and his face was red…he's blushing again. Did I do that? I think I did… yes I made an Uchiha blush. I'm the shit.

"J-just hurry up and order dobe." Sasuke said turning his head and resting it in his palm.

"One shrimp ramen, one of your new seafood special ramen and a water. What are you getting Sasuke?" I asked.

"Nothing."

"Are you sure?" I asked worried.

He looked at me and nodded saying, "I'm fine, I came here to treat you so don't worry about me. Besides I ate earlier."

"Oh okay thanks."

Ayame smiled and walked away telling the chef my order saying he'll make it on the fly.

I couldn't help but think about all that has happened today. Why is Sasuke being so nice? I wonder if someone forced him to…no that couldn't be it. Wait…I did notice him go to Baa-Chan's office so maybe she told him to be nice to me? Ugh I don't know what the hell to think. Well if she told him to be nice that doesn't explain why he called me cute. I mean being nice doesn't mean you have to call someone cute ya know, so why did he say that.

'Kyuubi?' I said in mentally.

I heard a deep breath then my beast spoke in a deep voice, 'Yes Kit.'

I sighed as I said quietly to my friend who lurked inside my brain, 'Do you think um…maybe S-Sasuke l-likes me?'

'I get awoken from my relaxed slumbering state because of boy problems?' Kyuubi sighed.

'I'm serious Kyuubi!' I whined

Kyuubi's red eyes rolled as he spoke, 'Yes Naruto, I do believe that Mr. Uchiha has a liking to you.'

'Are you sure? I mean this is Sasuke that we're talking about. Ya know I just want to make sure so I don't look stupid if I start flirting and it was actually just him trying to be nice. You get me?' I said in a quick voice.

'Yes I…get you. And trust me I can tell that he likes you as well because all he has been doing is staring at you like the damn sun shines out of your ass.' Kyuubi said with an annoyed tone of voice and I couldn't help but think that he sounded like Sasuke. 'Don't compare me to your little boy crush.'

'He hasn't been staring at me. You lying ass old fox!' I yelled to Kyuubi who only laughed.

'Look for yourself while I go back to sleep.' Kyuubi said with a wide smile showing off his large sharp teeth.

'You always sleep you lazy old man!' I yell in a loud laugh.

I sighed and looked at Sasuke who was already staring at me intently. When he noticed me looking back at me he quickly turned his gaze to the side and I noticed another blush creep upon his skin.

"Your foods done. Here you go." Ayame cheerfully spoke.

"Thank you." I said.

Sasuke handed Ayame the money and she nodded a thanks and walked back. I looked at my food and clapped my hands together saying a loud 'Itadakimasu'. I looked at Sasuke who still was looking away from me, he was probably thinking…ah who cares.

I ate the shrimp ramen extremely fast not at all savoring the flavor of them. I took a bite of the seafood special ramen and boy was it amazing, this is one of their new flavors and I think it's going to be a new favorite of mine. I moaned at the delicious taste of the ramen in my mouth.

I grabbed more noodles and a piece of lobster, "Sasuke try this."

Sasuke looked at me with a glare, "I'm fine."

"Come on you'll like it." I smiled handing to chopstick to Sasuke's mouth.

Sasuke groaned but took a slow bit not taking his eyes off of me once. I watched as he chewed then his eyes widened slightly and then he made his usual face.

"It's good." He said.

I laughed and grabbed more putting it towards Sasuke's lips like earlier while I said, "See."

Sasuke took the food into his mouth without hesitation smirking as he swallowed saying, "Really good."

I took another bit of this unbelievable and delicious creation as Sasuke took a sip of my water. I fed Sasuke some more then myself then Sasuke then I and it went back and forth until the bowl was empty. I pouted when I noticed the empty bowl and Sasuke let out a small laugh.

"That was good." Sasuke laughed out quietly.

I looked at him and replied, "Yeah it was."

"Want another?" Sasuke smirked.

"You bet I do." I cheered raising a fist in the air.

"Hey can I get another Seafood Special and more water." Sasuke said as Ayame got our dirty dishes.

"I just made another, I knew you'd want another." Teuchi (Ichiraku Ramen's owner) laughed in a wide smile setting the bowl in front of us.

"Thank you." I said.

"Itadakimasu!" Sasuke and I both said in unintentional synchronization.

I was about to grab the chopstick to do what we were doing earlier but Sasuke had grabbed them instead.

"Here." Sasuke whispered holding the chopstick with the noodles on it to my mouth.

I blushed but accepted the food looking at Sasuke who also had a slightly reddened face.

I finished the food and smiled, "Damn this is good."

I watched as Sasuke took a bite then gave me one then him then me and it was just like earlier and once again before we knew it the bowl was empty.

"Damn where have you been all my life?" Sasuke laughed.

I replied, "I've been in Konaha."

Sasuke looked at me then covered his mouth muffling a laugh and I tagged along laughing as well. I looked at the clock and gasped damn we only have five minutes.

"Shit." Sasuke groaned, "Let's go Naruto."

"Okay."

I watched Sasuke pa for the extra bowl and I waved good bye. I was about to reach for my backpack but Sasuke slapped my hand gently, "I told you I'll carry it dobe."

"Ugh I'm not some damsel in distress you know." I said putting my hands on my hips.

"Whatever. Hurry up."

We walked closer to the main gate and we noticed everyone there waiting with annoyed looks on their faces.

"Do you think we're late?" I whisper asked.

Sasuke leaned to my ear, "I have a feeling those clocks were late."

I laughed quietly but stopped when Tsunade shot a glare our way.

"Why thank you for finally joining us Naruto." Tsunade's voice was filled with powerful Hokage authority.

"Hey Baa-Chan! How's it going?" I gave her a big smile which made her scowl deeply.

"I would expect this from you Naruto but not Sasuke. Sasuke would you like to explain in detail why you're both late?" Tsunade questioned.

"We ate." Sasuke said.

"I said in detail." Tsunade glared deeply but it didn't faze him at all.

"Ugh. First, I saw Naruto walking to his house but I told him to come with me to my house. He did, so we got there and went upstairs. Next, while in my room Naruto was laying on my bed, I was packing clothes for the both of us. I couldn't find a last outfit for him in my closet so we went to my attic. Then, I found a whole box full of kimonos and Naruto and I were trying to decide what he would wear. He tried a couple on but they were all ass but Naruto noticed one that fell out of the box which we both liked. Then, he tried it on and he looked… Anyways, I got our bags then I treated him to ramen. At first I didn't want any then Naruto made me try his, I liked it then I got another bowl which we shared. We finished and now we're. Oh and lastly, now I'm talking to you completely annoyed." As Sasuke spoke his words got more venomous and annoyed.

"Wow Sasuke that's the most I've ever heard you speak." Kiba laughed loudly.

"Don't get used to it." I said and Sasuke smirked at me which made everybody's eyes widen in shock.

"Well, I see. Thank you Sasuke for your honesty and I think that it was very generous of you to lend Naruto some of your things." Tsunade smiled as she uncrossed her arms.

"Hn whatever." Sasuke replied.

Tsunade started walking closer to the gate as she said, "Follow me and I will explain when we are farther away from the ears of the other villager. So no questions. Understood."

"Hai!" Everyone said in respect for the Hokage.

I watched as Sakura ran up Sasuke yelling cheerfully, "Hi Sasuke-kun! I think that was super nice of you to help Naruto out."

"Hn."

"Oh come on don't be like that I just heard you talking a whole lot about a minute ago." Sakura laughed.

"I don't feel like talking..." Sasuke looked at me then at Sakura, "To you."

Sakura's face went a crimson color and glared at Sasuke, "Fine."

"You're mean teme." I said raising a brow to Sasuke as we followed Baa-Chan.

"Hn and I thought I was being all sweet and stuff today." Sasuke whispered so only I could hear.

I laughed and he raised a brow, "You have been extra sweet…I love it."

"I knew you would." Sasuke smirked as he bumped his shoulder against mine.

I looked at Sasuke with a questioning expression, "You know the one thing I've been thinking about this entire day…why is he being so nice to me of all people?"

"Cause you deserve it." Sasuke's voice was low.

I looked at him shocked, what made it worse was the serious face that he wore. I felt the blood rush to my face, was he serious…he can't be…can he?

"I'm serious." Sasuke quietly spoke cutting me out of my thoughts.

"N-no one's e-ever …um sa-said that." I stuttered.

"Well then everyone else is an idiot." Sasuke smiled at me then dropped it as Rock Lee walked over to us.

"Hey Naruto! Hello Sasuke." Rock Lee smiled.

I smiled back I just couldn't help I his smiles are just contagious, "Hey Bushy Brow!"

We chit-chatted for a while and stopped when Tsunade did and she said, "Give me a moment to talk to your Sensei's."

I yelped when I felt someone jump in my back, "Hey Naruto."

"Get off me Kiba!" I yelled pushing the Inzuka off of me.

I turned to notice Neji, Shino, Shikamaru, Choji, Sai and Kiba standing there.

"Oh hey guys." I smiled and they all said hey to me and Sasuke who didn't even reply back.

"Hey Naruto, Sasuke." Sai waved with a friendly smile.

"You know Naruto I didn't know that you and Uchiha were dating. I must say that I approve though." Neji said with a smirk and all the guys laughed except Sasuke and me.

"Well." I looked at Sasuke who raised a brow.

I smiled as I put an arm around Sasuke's neck and I blushed when I felt Sasuke put his arm around me, his hand was resting on my hip. I watched the guy's eyes widen as I wrapped my other arm around him and turned facing him more.

"I-I wasn't serious." Neji said.

"We went on our date earlier right Sasu-kun?" I smiled putting my head on his shoulder trying to cover m laughter that was about to burst out.

"Yeah." Sasuke said simply.

"What did you guys do for your date?" Rock Lee asked with a cheerful tone.

"He fed me then I fed him ramen." I looked at Sasuke as he responded with a smirk.

Sai smiled, "Oh wow really!? That's so cute."

"Yeah he is." I replied.

"Oh god the honey moon stage." Shikamaru groaned out loudly.

"Aw I love the honey moon stage." Kiba cooed.

I laughed and let go of Sasuke who wore a smirk, "You're so weird Kiba. Hey do you have water?"

"Who me?" Kiba asked pointing to himself.

I looked at him with a duh face saying, "No you moron I'm talking to my Lil' Baby Crab Apple."

The guys laughed and Sasuke looked at me strangely, "Lil' Baby Crab Apple?"

"Yeah because you're always so crabby, you're as cute as an apple and you my baby." I laughed leaning closer to Sasuke with a flirty smile playing my lips.

"Cute explanation but no. Pick something else." Sasuke smirked.

"Aw but teme." I whined pouting.

"Something. Else." Sasuke spoke flatly.

I raised a brow and sighed, "Fine…teme, it's only natural since I call you that anyway."

Sasuke smirked, "Okay dobe."

I smiled and pulled away, "Okay well teme…do you have water?"

"Yeah here." Sasuke said as he pulled out a water bottle from his bag.

I opened the bottle and took a big gulp sighing at the refreshing feel. Good. I looked over to see Sasuke hold his hand out and I put the water bottle in his hand. He nodded a thanks and to a few sips.

"Attention. Come over here." Tsunade commanded and we followed.

"Here let me hold my bag so you can rest." I said quietly.

Sasuke looked at me and chuckled, "I got it."

"Ugh just hand it over." I said and he did.

He handed me the bag and laughed when he noticed that I started to struggle. I put it on my back and continued to walk to our Hokage. She stood tall with Jiraiya on her left and Kakashi on her right with Gai on his right as well.

"Now this is a secret mission, a very important on to be exact. This mission will be a hard journey not because you will be fighting, that is not the case, and it will be a hard journey because the path you will go is a dangerous one. You will be going to Masuku Mountain in the Oni Village, land of the Demons. Don't worry they will not hurt you, the only thing you should be cautious of is the mountain itself. The weather there is extreme. It either snows all day or just simple drops to about -10000 degrees. So I hope you packed appropriately." Tsunade said.

"WHAT!" We all yelled in anger.

"Are you fucking kidding me Ten-Ten?! You never mentioned it would be freezing!" Ino's yell was filled with rage.

Ten-Ten looked utterly scared but she should be.

Sakura clenched her fists tightly, "You said comfy! And last time I checked you can't be comfy while wearing shorts in the fucking cold!"

"I didn't … I didn't know." Ten-Ten shot back in a scared voice.

"Everybody that is enough!" Tsunade yelled and we all become quiet but that didn't mean we weren't angry, "I see Ten-Ten has received the wrong message."

"Well Kakashi told me that we would be traveling to the Stone Village." Ten-Ten said and Tsunade glared at the older man beside her.

"The mission to the Stone Village was not until next month. You gave them the wrong mission!?" Tsunade's voice came out in a loud angry roar.

"I seem to have mistaken the files." Kakashi said running a hand through his hair with a sigh.

"Ugh I guess we're going to be a little bit behind schedule. Everyone you have twenty- five minutes, ONLY, twenty-five minutes to repack all of your things except your last outfit that can stay the same. Is that understood?"

"Hai!" We all shot back."

"You all have twenty-five minutes. Now go!" Tsunade yelled and we all ran as fast as we could.

I ran with Sasuke by my side and I heard him say, "We're going to my house."

"Okay." I said and before we knew it we were back at the Uchiha's house.

Sasuke opened the door for me, I was about to take my shoes off but Sasuke spoke fast, "Don't bother we'll be quick anyway."

We walked into Sasuke's room and I handed him my bag. He set them on the bed and unpacked the contents except our "fancy" outfits. I stood by the door kind of awkward, I hope he's not mad about me calling him my boyfriend. I hope the guys don't tell Sakura either cause that would be bad…for me.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked me as he was going through his closet.

I laughed nervously, "Well um are you mad about me calling you my boyfriend?"

Sasuke froze in seconds as if not expecting me to ask that question then he looked at me and he wore a confused look, "Have you spoken to Tsunade yet?"

"No. Why?" I asked not understanding what that has to do with the question I asked prier.

"Hn. Oh." Sasuke shrugged his shoulders.

I walked closer to him but there was an appropriate amount of space between us, "So, are you mad?"

"No Naruto. Just talk to Tsunade when you get the chance. Actually I'm done packing so we can get there first then you can talk to her. Just say 'Sasuke wants me to know'. Then you'll understand …even though you already seem to understand." Sasuke said as he closed his bag.

"Sasuke I want me to know." I repeated in a sigh, "Can't you just tell me teme…please I thought we were dating this relationship is supposed to be built with trust and honesty."

Sasuke laughed and as he wrapped a long hooded black cloak that had the Uchiha family symbol on the back of it around himself, "Just ask Tsunade you dobe."

"Ugh fine." I said.

Sasuke walked over to me and wrapped another cloak around me and I laughed when I noticed that they were they exact same, "I know I'm sorry but I don't have any other ones."

"You're really showing off this 'we're a couple' thing real well." I smiled widely and he smirked.

"That I am." Sasuke smirked as he grabbed our bags.

"You know Sasuke you're lucky cause you work with fire and electricity. So if you get cold you're golden." I laughed.

I grabbed my bag from Sasuke who groaned when I did.

"I put water and some food in your bag and mine so if you run out we could share…if that's okay?" Sasuke said opening the door for me as we left the house.

"Why thank you teme. You are so nice." I smiled and he reddened slightly.

Sasuke coughed and spoke looking away from me, "Yeah whatever let's just hurry up and get there so you can talk to Lady Tsunade."
