Well, I'm back…probably not for long. I've actually started on a main project. In a couple of weeks, I will publish something. Maybe a story or a poem and hopefully, it will win. You're witnessing a writer in the making you guys. Of course, my stories wouldn't be good if it weren't for my editors and teacher. So pardon if this chapter isn't too good since I didn't run it through an editor.

I'm back! But I don't know for how long.

'Ugh… this paperwork is starting to pile up' Tsunade thought as she looked at the stack of papers that seemed to be mocking her. She balled her fists in frustration, trying to relieve the anxiety that was quickly accumulating. A sudden realization hit her. 'Where the hell is Shizune?'

Shizune

Shizune sneezed in her sleep, which caused her to prematurely wake up. Her drowsiness, though, managed to subdue her waking mind and she fell back asleep again. She cuddled against the warm pillow behind her back, sighing happily. Wait a minute…

Shizune's eyes snapped open, wide awake, as she looked around to get her bearings straight. Memories of the previous night flooded into her mind like a broken dam as she recalled everything.

Tentatively, she reached behind herself and felt fabric. She then turned herself halfway and noted a happily snoozing Naruto behind or rather, she was sitting in his lap. She smiled softly as she stayed and watched his features for a moment.

"Shizy…" She heard Naruto mumble. "Shizy…" Naruto repeated again and that's when it hit her that 'Shizy' was herself. She couldn't help but shake her head at the nickname, but it was kind of cute she had to admit. She then began to wonder what Naruto was dreaming about.

"Ramen… Shizy…" Naruto mumbled, as if answering her question. Then a peculiar name came up. "Fuzzball", Her mind to recall anyone named fuzzy, but it came up blank. The closest she got was Akamaru, but the dog wasn't fuzzy at all. Then, Shizune just shrugged. This was Naruto and any attempt at trying to figure him was suicidal, or at least not possible.

Suddenly, she started feeling the stickiness from not taking a shower and it was making her uncomfortable. She began to wonder if Naruto had a shower, which she then mentally kicked herself at. Of course Naruto would have a shower, how would he be so fresh each day?

Slowly, she got up from Naruto until she suddenly felt arms lash out around her waist, effectively anchoring her. She turned back around, but noted that Naruto was still asleep. It must've been his reflexes, she thought amusedly while smiling. His arms went slack and she was able to free herself of his grasp, though hesitated since Naruto's hands had felt nice around her waist. They comforted her. Maybe she could get him to hug her more later on, after she took a shower.

Shizune sighed in bliss. The warm water soothed her skin and all the tension from last night melted away. It healed her so much so that she actually felt a little lighter. It might've been her imagination, but she couldn't deny the pleasant feeling. She looked around for some shampoo or something, but couldn't find any. All she found was a bar of soap; the rest of the tub was barren of any washing accessories. This made her realize Naruto's situation, and she almost felt like not washing herself in order not to waste his resources. Thinking about it, she would make it up to him by buying him all the stuff he needed and talk to Tsunade about Naruto. Mentally filing it away, she continued with her shower.

She sighed again, rubbing the soap across her soft skin. The cool feeling in contrast to the water sent a small, pleasant shiver up her spine. She rubbed the soap between her chest, slowly, in caressing strokes. She took her free hand and washed her stomach with the suds, moving in small circles that gradually got wider until…

She gasped a bit as one of her fingers had wandered towards to her lower region, barely grazing the protruding flesh. Her bottom lip quivered as she was filled with a wonderful sensation of firey ice, the only way that it could be describe, race up and down her spine. The hot water, which had been an instrument of relaxation, now played a different tone. Each droplet that hit her sensitized skin made her feel as if a blanket of pleasure had been wrapped around her. Relaxing, and intoxicating. For a moment, she imagined Naruto tracing his fingers across her body, exploring every part of her.

Shizune took in a sharp intake of air as finger inserted itself into her. She let out a small, pleasure-filled noise as the ecstasy ran rampant throughout her body. She had to bend over, supporting herself with one hand as her other pleasured her.

"Naruto…" She let out softly as her breath became shorter and out of sync.

"Yes?" Came the unexpected reply of said blonde. How he had managed to hear, Shizune couldn't figure out nor would she try to as she was in too much shock to wonder the possibilities.

But the thrill of being caught had unexpectedly sent her over the edge, making her let loose a noise that was a cross between a squeak and a gasp. Reaching her climax, her honey fell in droplets, blending itself with the surrounding water and forever being lost.

She heard Naruto on the door as he asked, "Umm… Are you okay? You sounded funny in there."

Shizune took a deep breath, trying to calm herself and ignore the remnant pleasure that still coursed through her body. "Y-Yea. I just a-accidentally turned the water too hot w-when you replied."

"Oh." Was all she could hear. She assumed he left since he didn't say anything else, but she couldn't hear his footsteps since the shower drowned out the noise.

Before anything else could happen, Shizune finished her shower as quickly as possible. She then dried herself with an orange towel, not too surprising, and proceeded to ask if he had any spare clothes as she wrapped the towel around her frame.

Naruto whistled happily, for a reason he couldn't understand. But Naruto being Naruto, he didn't even bother to think that it could've been because he was in love, or maybe because of the 'incidents' with Shizune, all he knew was that he was happy and he liked that.

Currently, he was doing nothing except sitting on the dining table, slurping up some ramen. Oddly enough, it didn't seem as tasty as usual. Almost as if he had eaten something better than ramen. Naruto just shook his head at the thought, it was utter blasphemy! The gods of ramen would surely be mad at him if such a train a thought was allowed to progress. He squelched the feeling, and opted to eat the ramen. Still, it nagged at the back of his mind like Sakura when she was on her period.

"Speaking of which, what's a period?" Naruto wondered. Sakura had mentioned it to him a lot of times, but she had never told him what it was. He knew it happened once a month and he would try to avoid Sakura on those days. Other than that, he had no idea what it was. It might be a bug, or so he figured. But bugs scare Sakura, not make her angry. Naruto, amazingly, set down his ramen and proceeded to think on this. After a moment, he heard his name being called out and he turned around in his chair to meet the source of the voice.

Naruto, nor would any male for that matter, could not help but stare. Shizune was standing in front of him, in all her naked glory and the only thing protecting from actually being nude was his orange towel. His eye followed a particular drop that had fallen from her chin onto her chest, trailing down towards an amazing place.

Shizune had the grace to blush. She could feel Naruto's eyes wander across her body and on instinct; she covered her body while at the same time clutching her towel so that it could cover more of her.

Noticing this, Naruto stammered out an apology, "S-Sorry! I didn't mean to look." With that, he covered his eyes with one hand.

"I can't see!"Naruto yelled out, getting up only to fall down onto the floor. On the way down, though, he had hit the table, causing the ramen to slide down onto his face.

At first, Shizune stared. Then the hilarity of the scene caught up to her, causing her to giggle, then to laugh outright. She continued to laugh as she saw Naruto struggle to get up, falling back down a couple of times before realizing he still had ramen on his face.

Once he was fully erect, no pun intended, he pointed a finger at her, yelling, "Hey! That's not funny! Look at my ramen!" Naruto pouted as he was nearly brought to tears at the spilt ramen.

Shizune, meanwhile, settled down. Right now, he looked so kissable, with how he was pouting. Ignoring—or more perhaps, forgetting—that she was naked. She walked over towards Naruto and in a sudden impulse, grabbed him by the shoulders and gave him a deep kiss.

Or that's what would have happened had she not noticed the rest of the ramen that had landed in front of her. She slipped and tumbled, reaching out, trying to grab for something. And something she did grab, in fact, it was Naruto. Naruto, after letting out a yelp, fell to the floor, with Shizune on top of him.

It wasn't the way Shizune had planned it, but Naruto was now in range for the kiss she had planned earlier. She found his eyes, which were oddly focused on her. Goosebumps dotted her arms when she felt Naruto touch her neck, and then with his thumb, gently rub circles on her main vein. It was a nice, soothing sensation and she couldn't help let out a noise, which resembled a purr. Naruto then pulled her closer to his face, shortening the gap.

Their lips never touched as they were interrupted by a short, harsh cough. Freezing, the couple slowly looked up. They found Kakashi, peering down on them, and knowing Kakashi, he was most likely smiling underneath that mask.

"Sorry to interrupt your uh, lesson. But Tsunade needs Shizune at this moment." He said.

"Oh and Nartuo," Kakashi said, earning the attention of the blonde, "You make me… so proud!" He said, a small tear dropping from his one visible eye. He finally left the two in a puff of smoke, leaving an extremely embarrassed Shizune and confused Naruto.
