Kakashi and Sakura were comfortably sleeping in their respective tents , and Naruto was in a tree taking watch, after much complaining that since it was as easy as a D rank there was no need. The others whole-heartedly agreed with him, but for the sake of being professional they decided that since it was technically an A rank they had to follow protocol. Their charge was with Sakura, on a giant blow up airbed as she was obviously too 'high class' to sleep on the ground. This only left the where-abouts of Sasuke. He was not sleeping, nor was he taking watch, in fact his chakra was covered completely. Naruto had noticed this but not been alarmed, Sasuke was free to do what he liked. Naruto maybe would have been a bit more concerned if he knew what the raven haired boy was planning. You see, Sasuke as it is well known, is an Uchiha, and as had been bred into Uchiha's for generations, and taught to them since they suckled on their mothers, an Uchiha was a pedigree above the rest. They were practically royalty, with their all-powerful sharingan. And as such Sasuke really hated to be ignored, which was exactly the case with one Uzumaki Naruto. Naruto still talked to him when necessary and was perfectly polite when they were together, but that was it. No loud "Temes", no giant surprise tackles and certainly no intelligent conversations. And for Naruto to be quiet and polite, it was the equivalent of someone else pretending the object of their fury was no more then a very ugly brick wall not even worth a glance.

This lead to Sasuke being infuriated and he decided that he was going to get the dobe to talk and it was going to happen tonight! It was just past two in the morning when a slight disruption, well, disrupted, the peaceful night. A scuffling followed by a dull thud was heard by the night creatures. The result of this sound was a surprised Naruto being held tight against a tree by a silently fuming Sasuke, whose eyes glinted dangerously in the small amount of moonlight shining valiantly through the trees. In a deadly voice Sasuke demanded of Naruto

"Why, The fuck, Have, You Been, Avoiding, Me?" After every one or two words there was a pause as Sasuke took in a breath, only causing his words to sound even more threatening.

Naruto of course tried to deny this, but before he got half way through his sentence Sasuke cut him off with his glare at full force. Finally after several failed attempts at pleading his case, Naruto forced chakra into his hands and shoved Sasuke away and into a nearby tree, so that their positions had been reversed. Snarling in his deep somewhat scratchy voice Naruto replied with his own angry input,

"Why? Why? I'll fucking tell you why, because several days ago I woke up next to my MALE best friend, NAKED and with faded little spots where hickies would of been if I hadn't of been an exceptionally fast healer. And what's more was my MALE best friend was also NAKED with his stomach covered in his own CUM and with bite marks and bruises all over him. All of it evidence that I cheated on my girlfriend that I very much care about. And despite what I told you, and what you remember, I remembered every little detail of it, I remember touching you in so many places, marking you, I remember pulling on your hair while biting your neck and most of all I remember you yelling out my name. And I can't get any of that out of my head it just keeps replaying, does this give you a little insight as to why I am fucking ignoring you."

Naruto had placed his face very close to Sasuke's as he ranted, each word being heard clear by the dark eyed beauty, who was still being pinned to the tree by the man opposite him. Sasuke was very still and very quiet, analysing all of what Naruto had just said, it was a wonder Naruto could not hear the little gears turning in Sasuke's head. Finally after a drawn out pause Sasuke responded, his voice soft. The words he uttered were certainly not what the blonde haired Kyuubi-container was expecting.

"You said that you care very much about Sakura," Sasuke said slowly, as if absorbing what he himself was saying, as much as Naruto was.

"Well of course why would I be going out with her if I didn't care for her," responded an angry and now somewhat perplexed Naruto.

"You said you cared for her, but you didn't say you loved her, why wouldn't you just say 'my girlfriend that I love very much', why 'my girlfriend that I care very much about'?" Sasuke replied in the same slow, self-observing voice.

At this Naruto paused, whatever retort he was expecting Sasuke to say, it was clear this wasn't it. He was scrambling round in his thoughts, trying to think about what to possibly say in this bizarre conversation twist. But Sasuke wasn't done taking and continued in a voice that was barely above a whisper, but was said clearly and assertively,

" I've heard you say it too her dozens of times. But do you love Sakura Naruto?"

At this Naruto looked like a deer caught in the headlights, unsure about what to say. He desperately wanted to tell Sasuke that what he was thinking was incorrect and that he was very much in love with the pink haired girl that he had sought for so many years. But he could never lie to Sasuke and telling this to Sasuke felt like it would be a lie. Taking the pause as a negative answer, Sasuke move his face upwards, even closer to the marred one of his comrade.

"For some reason, the knowledge that you don't isn't altogether surprising, and for a reason I'd rather not contemplate, that fact you don't makes me, not happy, but lighter, clearer, in higher spirits. And since you don't love her then I wonder what you will do about this."

Before Naruto could ask what the raven haired youth was talking about said boys lips ascended the last few inches and began caressing the blondes mouth, effectively cutting off his unasked question. And Naruto, who, if asked later would not be able to say why he did it, began kissing back. Things quickly escalated and both were soon panting and their heads gently moved as their tongues laid siege to the others mouth. They were both passionate about things. Sasuke with his now achieved revenge and Naruto with his goal to be Hokage and for respect. There fights and their friendship was passionate, so it was not a surprise that their kissing was just as passionate, and it was several long minutes before they parted, both wide eyed at what had just transpired.

Naruto removed his hands from Sasuke's hair and Sasuke removed his hands from Naruto's waist. Both now blushed, but made no move to step away from one another. Overhead an owl hooted, which broke the trance that made the moment seem surreal and as if what transpired now had more weight and consequence they stepped apart and just before Sasuke leapt up into the tree Naruto was using for watch he stated in a voice that made him seem much calmer then he felt,

"I'll take over watch early, go get some sleep, we'll finish this discussion at a more appropriate time."

Then in a very un-Sasuke like gesture he gently ran his fingers over one of Naruto's scarred cheeks, before being swallowed by the darkness as he leapt up into a tree. Naruto walked towards his tent and numbly entered it and laid down. It must have been a gift from the heavens when, instead of being kept up by what had just transpired, he fell into a deep dreamless sleep.

Early next morning Naruto was roused from his slumber by a body that slid next to his, embracing him with small but powerful arms. Blearily opening his eyes Naruto made out the fuzzy haze of a delicate face and cherry blossom coloured hair. Smiling sleepily he returned the embrace and nestled his head into sweet smelling hair. To this Sakura let out a tiny shriek and proceeded to jokingly tell him off for messing up her hair. Sakura was in a very cheerful mood this morning, as her charge had gone to sleep early and therefore not annoyed the shit out of her by relaying AGAIN just how rich and superior she was. Another reason for her good mood was Sasuke in the river catching fish, and the sight of a shirtless Sasuke would improve any girls day. And as such she wanted to improve her high spirits by making out with her attractive boyfriend. So seeking his lips she began kissing him softly, and as he realised what was happening, Naruto returned the gentle kiss. It was not as arousing as it usually was, the gentle feel of her soft lips were too delicate. The kisses they shared had always been amazing before, he was at a loss as to why this had changed. Then in an act of sudden-realisation it occurred to him that Sasuke's kisses had been the contrast that led him to no longer wanted the soft delicate kissing. It was nice sometimes sure, but with Sakura, it was always soft and gentle, always smooth delicate love making. And now that he had experienced raw passion and reckless abandon with Sasuke, the gentle touches were not as stimulating.

When he realised he was thinking about Sasuke while kissing his girlfriend, he pulled away from her. Sakura looked confused for a few seconds, but then when she realised what exactly it was poking into her she smiled mischievously and pulled down Naruto's pyjama shorts and boxers before wrapping her small hands around and proceeding to give him a hand job, succeeding quite well in arousing him, after all their 9 months together had been plenty of time to learn how he liked it best. But poor Sakura was under the impression that her blonde boyfriend had gotten hard from kissing her, and feeling her body against his and that's why he pulled away. And Naruto just didn't have the heart to tell her it was simply a case of morning wood that she had failed to notice at first.

It was not much later in the day when the couple were just realising that they should probably be packing up when suddenly the tent collapsed on them. Pushing the canvas of the tent away they crawled out the entrance and saw that 2 kunai had been thrown into the support ropes, cutting them. A few metres away an irritated looking Sasuke stood and proclaimed

"If you have time to be doing whatever the fuck it was you were doing in there, then you have time to pack up, everyone else is ready to leave."

Indeed when they looked around Kakashi was looking amusedly on with his pack (Backpack, not dog pack that is) next to him, Sasuke's pack was already on his shoulders and the considerably larger and more expensive bag of their mission was sitting next to Kakashi's for it was the silver haired jounin's turn to carry it for the whiney little brat. Sakura flushed scarlet and ran into her tent to pack things up, while Naruto turned to Sasuke and yell at him for collapsing his tent, but when he looked into those dark eyes he remembered the previous night and how much better that felt than his morning with Sakura. Sasuke had a face of major irritation on, and Naruto realised it was not because they were not packed up, but because of what it was that delayed them from doing so. Naruto could not think of one thing to say whilst other people were in ear shot and turned into his sad excuse for a tent to pack his things.

Ten minutes later saw the little group once again leave, and a day of uneventful travelling once again occurred. It was just tree's, tree's and when they were getting a bit sick of the scenery, more trees! Progress was slow as the girl was a civilian and they could not jump through the trees with speed and precision. In fact it was driving the hyperactive Naruto crazy to be moving at such a slow pace. It would take two and a half weeks to complete the mission. Two weeks to get there and three days to get back. It was just on sundown and the blonde haired spoilt civilian who is now to be identified as Kagura was complaining as if her life depended on it. Every ten minutes or so there was a complaint along the lines of, "My feet hurt," "I'm exhausted, we've been walking all day," and the most annoying "I am practically royalty in Suna, Kazekage-Sama will be most displeased when he hears what you have been subjecting me to, we are quite close you see."

Not one of these complaints were founded. They were going at a pace appropriate for a civilian, they had taken stops throughout the day to eat and rest, and Naruto's response to the last complaint left no room for her to rebuttal. Naruto laughed, but not in a carefree 'that was funny way', the laugh was void of any mirth. It was humourless and a little bit dark.

"Kazekage-Sama and you are close are you? How close can you be to call him that so formally. Gaara is close with very few people, I know this because I am one of them. He is fiercely loyal and will protect his village to the death, but I hardly think one spoilt little brat who whines more then she breathes is going to draw his sympathies. Maybe I should have a talk with Gaara about you, and how ungrateful the daughter of such a powerful civilian acted towards leaf shinobi, I'm sure he would be quite upset at you for jeopardising the Suna-Konoha peace treaty."

At this the snooty girl let out a derisive laugh. "You really expect me to believe that me rightfully complaining to a couple of high ranking shinobi will make Kazekage-Sama angry at me.

Kakashi interrupted what surely would have turned into an argument between the spoilt girl and the hyperactive loudmouth. "Actually Sakura-chan is the disciple of Lady Hokage herself and is set to overtake her mentors skill in the medical field, Sasuke-kun is the pride of ANBU and Naruto is the likely to eventually become the next Hokage and is family to our esteemed lady. And I, dear Kagura-san am well known throughout the shinobi nations for being the Copy-Cat Nin."

Okay so maybe Kakashi was not doing it to stop the fight, but doing it to demonstrate how amazing his team had become, and to show his pride for them. Whatever his intent, it stopped the girls argument and peace was again regained.
