Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I do not want to own Naruto. I want to own Neji. Or Sasuke. Or both. But that shall never happen... Sigh.

Author's Note: This is YAOI or SLASH or SHOUNEN AI. Whatever you prefer, this is it. Don't like it, leave. 'Tis simple as that.

School is starting soon... I'm not looking forward to that. Will the updates slow down once school starts? I... do not know, to tell you the truth. I guess we'll see. Also, I'm thinking of starting a Harry Potter/Naruto crossover that will have NejiSasu on the side... Sound interesting? Of course, I won't start it till I'm done with my Digimon fic that I'm trying to get done, but just seeing if it sounds interesting or not.

Enjoy!


Voyage

"It says here that the mission was completed without a problem," Tsunade said, looking at the mission report in her hand.

"That is correct, Hokage-sama," Neji replied.

"Then why did the two of you take the maximum amount of time given to get back? It sounds like you could have been back ten hours ago," she said, narrowing her eyes suspiciously at the two prodigies in front of her.

Neither of them wavered under her stare, however. Both being far better experts at the death glare probably made them immune to it, she guessed.

"There were… occurrences during our travels to and from the Rock Country," the pale-eyed boy explained.

"Occurrences?" she repeated.

"Like storms and thieves," Sasuke muttered in an uncaring tone. "Nothing worth mentioning."

"I see…" she murmured. She looked at the two shinobi in front of her, trying to see if they were lying or not. Being the most stoic boys in the whole village, however, they did not give a thing away. Sighing, she leaned back in her seat. "Fine; you are both dismissed. Good work."

They both nodded and turned to leave. Tsunade's jaw dropped in surprise at what she saw at the base of Sasuke's jaw line. Once left alone, she raised an eyebrow to herself and asked, "Was that… a hickey?"
