Chapter 3: The Bath House

*7pm Bath House*

"Oye Sakura, Sasuke you came?" Ino said as she walked up to the couple.

"Of course I was not going to pass up going to the bath house Ino-pig," Sakura said as she placed a hand on her hip.

"Oh I thought you came because it is the only way you could clean that big forehead of yours, Forehead." Ino said as she walked passed a stunned Sakura and into the doorway marked as "Female".

"If it means anything I don't think your forehead is big….." Sai said

"Oh well than-" Sakura said with a smile

"Ugly." Sai finished saying as he entered the male side of the bath house.

Angry at both Ino's and Sai's comment Sakura was about to punch a hole into the bath house but stopped once she felt Sasuke poke her forehead.

"You are perfect in my eyes Sakura." Sasuke said as he grabbed her hand and lead her to the 2 doorways. Just as Sasuke was about to enter he felt Sakura's arms around his torso.

"I love you Sasuke-kun." Sakura said to his back

"I know." Sasuke said as he turned around and hugged her back.

They stood there for about 2 minutes until they heard someone cough "Ugh get a room you two!"

"You don't have to mean to us just because you don't have a girlfriend Kiba." Sakura said still hugging Sasuke

"Hmph I don't need a girlfriend as long as I have my best friend." Kiba retorted.

" Thank you for the praise of being your best friend Kiba." Shino softly said as he walked to the group.

"Ain't that right Akamaru as long as we have each other we don't need girls to keep us busy?" Kiba said not knowing what Shino had said.

"Woof!" Akamaru replied

"I guess dogs are really man's best friend well at least I still have you as my best friend… Bugs." Shino thought as he finally got to the group.

"Hey Shino are you going to go change right now?" Kiba said as he saw the bug user walk pass him.

"Hai." Shino said as he continued walking.

"Wait for me and Akamaru!" Kiba yelled as he ran to caught up with Shino.

'Well I better get going so I can soak before I have to go to work." Sakura said as she let go of Sasuke and disappeared behind the curtain door.

When Sakura entered the changing room everyone was already in there and changed into their towels.

"Look who finally decide to join us." Tenten said as she placed her clothes into the locker.

"Nice to see you too Tenten." Sakura said as went behind the curtain to change.

"So Sakura I heard that Sasuke spent the night with you last night." Temari said as she took out her 4 pigtails.

"It's no big deal… It is not like it is the first time he has stay the night with me." Sakura said as she came out from behind the curtain.

"Don't you always stay with Shikamaru when you visit Temari?" Karui asked

"I wasn't judging Sakura I was just confirming what Naruto told Shikamaru today." Temari said

"Naruto told Shikamaru which also means that the rest of the guys know too." Ino said

"So what is the problem?" Sakura asked cooly

"Are you not mad at him Sakura?" Hinata said

"Um well I would be back in the past but me and Sasuke are a couple and couples stay the night with each other so I don't care if everyone knows." Sakura said as she headed to the door.

"Wow Sakura you sure have grown up since our genin days." Tenten said as she followed the pinkette.

"Hey wait for us you two!" Ino said as she and the rest followed them to the bath area.

"So you and Karui are getting serious huh Choji?" Kiba said as he poked Choji with his elbow

"Yea I guess we are…. She is just so perfect! I haven't seen a girl who could eat as much as I could and be that beautiful all at once." Choji said as he pictured his redheaded, ember eyed goddess.

"Karui is pretty but I think Ino is much prettier." Sai said as he tied his towel around his hips.

"What a drag Temari is far prettier and stronger than the other girls." Shikamaru said coming out from the bathroom

"Sakura could beat all of your girls with one punch." Sasuke bluntly said

"You forget that Tenten can use weapons that the others can't even handle." Neji said as he took off his headband.

"Hey what about Hinata she has the Byakugan and she has that really cool moved called Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists ooh and she also fought Pain too remember?" Naruto said blushing with a huge grin on his face.

"Well I believe that all of the girls are really strong and all have their weakness and strengths." Lee said as he entered the changing room.

"Bushy Brows! I thought you were not going to show up." Naruto said

"Of course I showed up! I could not pass up the chance to hang out with all of my friends!" Lee said as he stripped down in front of everyone.

"LEE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Neji screamed as he covered his eyes.

"I have nothing to hide and besides we are all men! Come let us all go soak together in the power of YOUTH!" Lee yelled as he ran out.

"How do you put up with him and Guy Sensei all the time Neji?" Shikamaru asked as they followed the others out the door.

"Well it is because of Tenten actually… She is what keeps them for going crazy with the power of youth and she is what keeps me from going insane." Neji said with a small smile on his face.

Gals:

As the girls entered the bath house they could hear the guys yelling at Lee for walking around without a towel.

"Doesn't that Baka know that not everyone wants to see him in his birthday suit? I would not mine if it was Sai though…." Ino said as she dipped her toe in the water to test the temperature.

"It's because Lee is so comfortable around anyone he meets, there is also the fact that he doesn't care what others think of him." Tenten said as she slipped into the tub.

"Speaking of birthday suits….. Hinata you sure have "grown" since our genin days." Sakura said as she sat across Hinata in the tub.

"What do you mean "grown"? We all have grown since then." Hinata said as she pulled her hair into a tight bun.

"She means your boobs have gotten a lot BIGGER since than." Ino said bluntly as she sat next to Hinata

Embarrassed by Ino's comment Hinata sinks into the tub further to where her eyes were only showing.

"Oh come on Hinata it is not something to be embarrassed by. Hell you are blessed to have a big chest." Sakura said

"I guess you are right Sakura, but don't you feel embarrassed since you are almost flat-chested." Hinata said as she sat back up.

With that comment Sakura's brow started to twitched while she told her inner self to calm down and that Hinata didn't mean to be rude. "Anyway…. How have you girls all been." Sakura said changing the topic.

"Well the weapon shop is about to have it's grand opening in 2 weeks and I would love it if all of you can come." Tenten said

"Of course we will come." The girls said

"Are there going to be any kind of fans at your shop Tenten?" Temari asked

"Of course there will be…. There has to be every weapon known to ninja at my shop if I want to become the best weapon seller in the 5 nations." Tenten said.

"Hey Ino thanks for helping Choji with picking the flowers he gave me for Tanabata" Karui said as she got out of the tub.

"No problem it's the least I can do for my friends especially when it involves romance." Ino said as she followed Karui out of the tub.

"What kind of flowers did he pick out for you Karui?" Temari asked as she put a steamed towel over her forehead.

"He got me a gorgeous bouquet of Camellias, Forget-me-nots, Primrose and Yellow Roses. The cutest thing was when he said that the Camellias represent the color of my hair that he loves so much and the yellow Roses represent my eyes." Karui said as she wrapped her towel around her body.

"Really wow who knew Choji was the romantic type." Sakura asked

"That was really sweet of him…. I wonder what Naruto is going to get me?" Hinata said as she stared at the water.

"He is probably going to get you free ramen and coupons for ramen." Tenten said as she placed her hands behind her head.

"In his defense I don't think he will give her ramen. Naruto can be really thoughtful it just takes him a little longer to think of something besides ramen. But don't worry Hinata whatever Naruto gets you I know it will the sweetest thing you have ever received." Sakura said

"What did Sasuke get you Sakura?" Ino asked as she threw Sakura her towel

"I don't know yet I guess I will have to wait and see but whatever he gets me I will love it regardless." Sakura said with a huge smile on her face as she got out of the tub, and wrapped the towel around herself.

"How much longer until Naruto becomes Hokage?" Temari asked as she tied her dress around her waist.

"It's up to Kakashi Sensei… Because once he wants to retire than Naruto will become Hokage. But that is not for like about 10-15 years at the most." Sakura said as she let down her hair from a bun.

"Speaking of Hokage do you know who is going to be the next Raikage Karui?" Tenten asked as she put her hair into her famous 2 buns.

"Yea it is going to be the Raikage's right hand man Darui." Karui said as she slipped on her boots.

"Darui will be a great Raikage. He really showed great leadership during the war and so did Gaara along with the other Kage." Hinata chimed in as she finished getting dressed.

"Hey Hinata are you done, because I want to meet Sasuke and Naruto out front." Sakura said as she stopped in the doorway.

"Yea, I'm coming." Hinata said as she grabbed her coat and walked up to Sakura.

"Goodbye everyone, see you tomorrow!" Sakura and Hinata said as they walked out the door and outside to wait for Naruto and Sasuke.

Guys:

"So you finally asked out Hinata to Tanabata huh Naruto?" Kiba said as he sat down on the stool next to Naruto.

"I could have done it sooner but Kakashi sensei had me locked up studying the material to become Hokage." Naruto said as he grab his washcloth.

"You better have not gotten Hinata ramen for Tanabata Naruto." Neji said as he walked passed the blonde ninja.

"Of course I didn't get her ramen I got her flowers." Naruto said proudly as he began to wash himself.

"You got her just flowers?" Sasuke said as he got into the tub.

"Yea you were there Teme why should I get her something else too?" Naruto asked as he looked at Sasuke

"You should get her a dog." Kiba said

"No Naruto I have the perfect gift for Hinata!" Lee shouted as her disappeared from the room.

"Well what is it that you think is the perfect gift for Hinata?" Naruto said a little too excited.

"She needs something that she can use…" Lee started to explain

"Yea like shoes or a new pouch to hold her kunais." Naruto said

"Something that is also very fashionable…."

"Oh so like clothes then… wow Bushy Brows you sure do know what girls like." Naruto said star eyed as he waited for Lee to show him what he had behind his back.

"Believe me Naruto Lee doesn't know anything about what girls want." Neji said from the tub.

But Naruto did not hear what Neji had said and was impatiently waiting to see the gift.

"The perfect gift for Hinata is….. A famous pair of Gai Sensei's body suit!" Lee yelled as he pulled out the infamous green spandex bodysuit that both him and Gai wear.

The stars in Naruto's broke apart at the sight of the green suit and were replaced with flames as Naruto screamed "Baka! What makes you think that this is fashionable and that Hinata would like it?!"

"What girl wouldn't love to have this… It is breathable great to workout in and the best part is that they would be matching with Konoha's very own BLUE BEAST! Lee said with tears streaming down his face.

"I know for sure Tenten would not wear it." Neji said

"Yea I don't think Karui would wear it either Lee." Choji replied

"No way in hell is Sakura ever going to wear something like that." Sasuke said as he got out of the tub to grab his towel.

"That color green does not suit my Ino at all." Sai said as he exited the room with Sasuke following behind.

Sadden by the remarks Lee looks at the only guy who has not said one thing yet….. "I bet Temari would love this right Shikamaru?" Lee said as he ran to the side of the tub that Shikamaru was at.

"Nope she wouldn't." Shikamaru coldly said as he grabs his towel and left the room with Choji and the others.

"Thanks for trying to help Bushy Brows I just don't see Hinata wearing this instead of her normal clothes that's all." Naruto said as he patted Lee's shoulder and lead himself and Lee out of the room and back to the changing room.

"Ok guys really what should I get Hinata?" Naruto asked as he slipped his shirt on.

"She really likes sunflowers." Shino said as he zipped up his jacket

"Yea and she also really likes to knit things like scarfs." Kiba added as he dried off Akamaru.

"Sunflowers…." Naruto thought to himself as he recalled that Hinata smelt like them when he hugged her.

"Neji you are related to her shouldn't you know what she likes and dislikes?" Shikamaru said as he grabbed his shoes from the locker.

"Yea Neji why are you not helping me out here?" Naruto said as he walked over to Neji.

"Well she does like sunflowers and knitting but she also likes animals and she collects stuffed animals as well." Neji said as he put his hair back into his regular loose ponytail.

"Great this will really help me out to pick out a gift for Hinata." Naruto said as he grabbed his jacket and walked out of the room with Sasuke.

"Do you think he will screw it up?" Sai asked as he stopped next to Neji

"He better not screw up because if he hurts Hinata in anyway me Akamaru and Shino will have to deal with him." Kiba said as him and Shino joined Neji and Sai.

"Knowing Naruto he will mess up but Hinata knows that he doesn't mean it so I think he will be fine." Shikamaru said as he exited the room.

"Shikamaru is right Hinata has always seen the good in Naruto even when we were young." Neji said as he followed behind him.

Naruto and Sasuke:

"Have you given Sakura her flowers yet?" Naruto asked Sasuke as they exited the bath house.

"No not yet I plan on giving them to her tomorrow morning. What about you when are you going to give Hinata her flowers?" Sasuke asked

"Tomorrow when I pick her up for Tanabata. Did you get Sakura a second gift too?" Naruto asked as he walked out the entrance.

"Hn." Sasuke said

"Come on tell me what you got Sa-" Naruto said but was cut off with a punch to the gut from Sasuke.

"What was that for Teme?!" Naruto yelled

Sasuke pointed to Sakura and Hinata who were sitting on a bench about 40ft away for them.

"Hey Hinata can I walk you home?" Naruto asked as he walked towards the lavender eyed kunoichi.

Sakura and Hinata

"So what did you get Naruto for Tanabata?" Sakura asked as she opened the door to the exit.

"Well I…. I haven't gotten him anything yet." Hinata said as she looked at the ground.

"What? Have you at least thought about what to get him?" Sakura said as she sat down on a nearby bench.

"Yes I have but I don't want to give him ramen so I was thinking about getting him more meaningful but I don't know what that will be yet." Hinata said as she sat next to Sakura

"Hmm well if you want it to be meaningful than it should be something from the heart that he will cherish forever like make him something." Sakura said as she looked at Hinata

"Well I do know how to knit. Is that helpful?" Hinata asked

"Yea that is great and all but won't it take longer than a day to knit something?." Sakura said as she rubbed her chin.

"I could knit him a stuffed Kurama to match the one I bought yesterday." Hinata said

"That is a GREAT IDEA Hinata!" Sakura said

"Ok then I will go home and start on it… It shouldn't take longer than a day to do." Hinata said as her face lit up.

Just as Hinata was going to head home a certain blonde ninja caught her attention.

"Hey Hinata can I walk you home." Said the ocean-blue eyed ninja

"Yes of course." Hinata said with a big smile as she followed besides Naruto down the street.

Sasuke and Sakura

"Look at them aren't they cute together?" Sakura said as she hugged Sasuke.

'Yea yea they cute so what?" Sasuke said

"You know that you have been wanting them to get together for the longest time like everybody else has been." Sakura said

"It's 9:24pm don't you think you should get home to change for work?" Sasuke asked as he started to lead her to her apartment.

"Hmph…" Sakura said as she puffed her cheeks up and allowed Sasuke to lead her to her apartment.

As they walked back to Sakura's apartment they passed the Uchiha village which is going to be rebuilt so that Sasuke can one day go back "home".

Sasuke looked at the entrance to the village and when he did he all his old memories come back. He saw Itachi carrying him home after they defeated a giant boar that was terrorizing the outskirts of Konoha. And when Itachi and him would race home for dinner which usually ended in Itachi wining and Sasuke pouting. Taken back by the memories he started walking towards the entrance until he was pulled out of his thoughts by a light tug on his shirt.

Knowing that it was Sakura that was tugging Sasuke turned towards her. He looked at her with a small smile and she returned it with a small smile of her own. Sasuke knew that this was going to be his and Sakura's home once he asked her to marry him which was in the distant future. The thought of Sakura being his wife one day and the mother to their children made him blush. It also made him think of his mother Mikoto, knowing that if his mother was alive she would have loved Sakura and that they would have both gotten along very well.

"Is everything ok Sasuke?" Sakura asked as she noticed Sasuke staring into the depths of the empty village.

"Yes everything is fine. Come on I want to show you something." Sasuke said as he pulled Sakura through the village entrance.

"Are you sure it is ok for me to be here Sasuke? I thought only you and a selected few were only allowed here" Sakura asked as she looked at the village that was frozen in time from that horrible night.

"Tch. Don't worry you are with me and I say you are allowed to be here." Sasuke said as he turned down a street.

"... It's no big deal because one day you will be living here with me." Sasuke thought as a smirk was placed on his face.

When Sasuke got to the front door of his house he turned around and looked at Sakura who looked like she was scared but excited at the same time if that was even possible.

"Are you sure you are ok with me going into your house Sasuke?" Sakura asked as she took a small step back when Sasuke opened up the door for her to enter the house.

Without even replying Sasuke pulled Sakura into the house and lead her up the staircase and down a hall where they stopped in front of 2 dark oak doors.

"This is my parents' room. I need to retrieve something from inside so you can either stand out here or you can come in. It's up to you." Sasuke said as he slipped into the room.

When he slipped through the doors he went straight to his mother's jewelry box. After locating the box he dusted off the excessive dust that covered the lid, he looked behind him to make sure Sakura was not watching him.

"Ok good she seems to be outside the doors still." Sasuke thought as he opened the lid.

His mother did not really wear jewelry a lot but if anything there was an item that he ever saw his mother without well besides her wedding ring of course.

"Where is that blasted necklace at?!" Sasuke grunted while scanning the items in the box.

"It's still in perfect condition after all these years…" Sasuke said as he pulled out a silver chain that had the Uchiha symbol on it. But the red coloring was made up of Rubies and the white were Diamonds.

*Flashback*

*"Even though it is just our clan symbol this necklace means so much to me because on the back your father had engraved. "You are the Light to My Darkness."" *

It was the perfect gift for Sakura when he finally asked her to be his but for know he will keep it until that day comes.

Sakura stood outside the doors for 5 seconds before she decided to follow behind Sasuke. When she entered the room she was instantly draw to the family photo of Sasuke's family which was hanging on the wall in front of her.

As she walked over to the picture Sasuke took noticed and when she grabbed it off the walk he hugged her from behind while looking at the only family photo he had left.

"Is this your mother Sasuke?" Sakura whispered as her fingers traced the face of the only female Uchiha in the photo.

"Hn." Sasuke said as he stared at the photo.

"What was she like?" Sakura asked as she looked at the Uchiha who seemed to be in deep thought.

"Well she was always kind and whenever I needed help with my training and my dad or Itachi couldn't help she would train me instead. She had the most beautiful hair I have ever seen and her cooking was the best. I remember rushing home after the academy so I could help her make dinner." Sasuke said as a smile which he could not get rid of graced his face and a single tear left his left eye which was the Rinnegan eye.

"Sasuke you are crying." Sakura said concerned but had a smile on her face as she wiped away the tears on his cheeks.

"Come on it's almost 10pm you are going to be late if we don't go now." Sasuke said as he grabbed her hand that was on his cheek and lead her outside the house.

Sakura remained quiet as Sasuke picked her up bridal style and took to the roofs so that she would be home by 9:45 pm. Once he placed her in front of her door Sasuke was about to leave when Sakura threw her arms around his neck and buried her head into his chest.

"I love you Sasuke." Sakura said as she pulled away and entered her apartment.

Smirking at Sakura's words Sasuke disappeared into the night.

Naruto and Hinata

"Ahh that was a much needed soak." Naruto said as he stretched his arms over his head.

"It was great that you could get everyone together to hang out tonight Naruto." Hinata said as she looked up to the blonde ninja.

"Well I just thought we all deserved this after everything that has happened." Naruto said as he stuffed his hands into his shorts he was wearing.

"Yea we have been doing a lot lately but you have been doing more than I have Naruto. You been taking missions and studying all that material to become Hokage." Hinata said as she turned her attention to the road in front of her.

"It is a lot of work but I can handle it." Naruto said as he looked down at Hinata.

Hinata smiled because she knew that nothing was going to stop Naruto from becoming Hokage not even studying.

"You have been helping me study and because of that I can look forward to becoming Hokage. You and the others all have helped me reach that point." Naruto said

Hinata blushed and decide to change the subject…. "So Naruto Tanabata is tomorrow are you excited?"

"Of course I am! How about you Hinata are you excited about our date tomorrow?" Naruto said as he stopped in front of Hinata.

Hinata's face turned a bright red and she hid her face under her hands and answered "Of course I am. I am going on a date with you Naruto."

Before Naruto could respond Hinata ran away shouting "Sorry Naruto but I forgot I have to do something. See you tomorrow at 7pm!"

"...I almost forgot I got to start knitting that Kurama doll for Naruto so that it is ready for Tanabata tomorrow." Hinata thought as she ran to a nearby fabric store.

"Hi welcome to my store." A little old lady said as Hinata entered the store.

Hinata walked up to the lady and asked "Do you have any fabric that I could use to make a Nine-Tails doll?"

"Ahh yes I think I still have some orange left over there." the little pointed to a shelf.

"Arigato!" Hinata said as she ran over to the shelf, started to search for the perfect orange color for the doll.

After searching she finally found the perfect orange and she also found a blue that was the exact color of Naruto's eyes and she thought "How about I make a Kurama and a matching Naruto in kyuubi sage mode?"

She grabbed the needed fabric and paid for it and then left the store. When she got home she placed the fabric on her nightstand and started to knit the Kurama doll since it was the biggest. As she knitted she thought about Tanabata and how perfect her date with Naruto would be, if he was going to kiss her or not during the firework show.

"AH! I shouldn't be thinking about that. I should be thinking about I am going to finish this by tomorrow before the girls come over to start my makeup and hair." Hinata shouted

"Hey would you mind keeping your voice down I'm trying to practice here." said a voice from outside Hinata's window.

"Hanabi what are you doing practicing at 10pm at night?" Hinata said as she watched her little sister throw shurikens at a tree.

"Well since you and Neji went to the bath house tonight I didn't have anyone to spar with so I decide to practice instead. " Hanabi said as she retrieved her shurikens

"What are you knitting over there?" Hanabi said as she looked at the partially started Kurama.

"Oh I'm knitting Naruto and Kurama doll and a matching doll of himself in Kyuubi sage mode for Tanabata." Hinata said as she showed Hanabi the fabric she just bought.

"Aww that is so cool One-san." Hanabi said

"I hope Naruto will like it." Hinata said as she looked down at her hands.

"Of course he will like it. You made it and he has a crush on you so he has to like it!" Hanabi happily said as she ran off leaving a red faced Hinata.

"She is right he will like it…." Hinata thought as she started knitting.
