Their little group of five halted on a branch as Sasuke held up a hand. "Look there." the raven whispered, pointing at two ninja walking through the forest leisurely. The two adorned the tattletale cloaks of the Akatsuki. The two were Hidan, the Jashinist freak, and Kakuzu, the organization's self-appointed accountant. "Come on." The team jumped from the trees, landing in front of the two Akatsuki. "I'm looking for Naruto. Do you happen to know where he is?"
"Oh, yeah, Naruto's on an all-expense paid three week vacation to wherever the hell he wants. You'll mostly likely find him in Nami though." Hidan informed, sniggering at Kakuzu who gave the ground a look that could kill. "Poor Kakuzu here is broke because of all the money Naruto is no doubt going to spend." Sasuke nodded mutely and they took off to the trees again. "Oh by the way Uchiha, make sure he's able to walk by the time he gets back! We need him!" The raven let the smallest of smirks take over his face at that.
Getting to Nami was rather quick and easy. Sasuke halted the team on the bridge, turning to them. "He's masking his chakra. Sakura and Karin will go through the main town, Suigetsu and Juugo will search the surrounding forest, and I will take the outskirts of town. Flare your chakra if you find him, understood?" The four nodded and broke off into their separate groups.
Sakura took a glance at the redhead she was walking with. The girl seemed pretty relaxed although slightly annoyed. She held a snort. 'I don't to walk with her either.' Sakura thought. If she was going to scare this girl into staying away from Sasuke, she would have to know the girl's personality first. "So, how long have you known Sasuke?" Karin glanced at her as well before looking forward.
"Only a few months. I did meet him at the Chunin exams in Konoha three years ago. You?"
"For about four years until he left Konoha. We were on a Genin team." Karin hummed lightly, acknowledging the other girl's answer.
"Who is this guy we're looking for anyway?" Karin asked, letting out a small huff.
"He was on our Genin team as well. He was loud, obnoxious, and annoying back then but he's changed." Sakura muttered. "A demon, that's what he is."
"It would explain why Sasuke is looking for him." Sakura looked over, curious. "Sasuke only recruits people who have a purpose to him; Juugo for his power, me for my abilities, and Suigetsu for his abilities. This Naruto guy must have some type of ability that he wants." Sakura opened her mouth when the sound a stampede made the two of them stop and look in the direction of the sound. A blur of orange ran past them followed by a group of girls, yelling different things.
"Your skin and hair is so soft!"
"What kind of lotion and shampoo do you use?"
"Can we trade bodies?"
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Can we be best friends?"
"What's your name?"
"Can I have your number?"
Sakura nodded to herself as she saw orange painted nails and flashes of blond from under the orange hoodie. "Karin, come on. That was him." They followed the crowd all throughout the inner-city into an ally. Both the girls flared their chakra to notify their leader as they stood at the back of the crowd, shoving in to get a better view. The blond was pressed against the wall, glaring at the girls and hissing, managing to keep them about ten feet away from him.
"I'm telling you idiot girls I don't use a specific type of shampoo or lotion. My skin and hair is just like that naturally!"
"Well why can't we hang out?"
"Yea it would be fun! Then we can learn all your secrets!"
"Absolutely not!" the blond hissed. "I'm not wasting a day of my vacation over a bunch of girls!" The group didn't seem to listen to him as they started advancing on him. There was nothing but the roofs of buildings up top and it was a dead end ally, so the blond was thoroughly trapped. Just seconds before they pounced on him, there was a flash and someone was standing in front of him. He relaxed as the scent of his mate filled his senses. "Sasuke." he whispered in relief. The raven sent a harsh glare at the drooling girls, scaring them away from the ally, and back where they came.
"Just what exactly was that, dobe?" Sasuke asked, turning to face the blond.
"What had happened was," he started off lamely, "I was getting a massage at the spa not too far from here when one of the girls felt my skin. She started calling over her stupid friends and they started grabbed my hair and rubbing my skin. It was then that I got dress and promptly hauled ass but they saw me when I left and followed. And that's how I ended up here."
The raven raised an eyebrow. "Interesting." he muttered. "Come, we need to talk. You four follow as well." It was then that the blond noticed the other four, his curious glance stopping on the pinkette. He smiled brightly and waved enthusiastically at the girl, snickering when she glared back. The one with the white hair stared at him intensely while they walked, as if sizing him up.
"So you're Naruto, huh?" he said more to himself than asking the shorter teen. "Not what I expected."
"What did you expect?" Naruto asked. "I don't think too highly of you either. You're weak looking and that heavy sword looks like it's going to tip you over." He got a growl from the other but never said anything. He heard Sasuke sigh from the front.
"Naruto, must you be such an asshole?"
"And this is coming from the king of all assholes, why?" Sasuke shook his head, leading the team into a small restaurant. They sat down at a booth, Naruto and Sasuke sitting across from each other. "So what are you bothering me for? I'm on vacation and not in the mood for putting up with any bullshit." Sasuke cut right to the chase.
"When we, or I and you watched me, killed Orochimaru, Kabuto was lurking around. I have a feeling he's been up to something. The original plan for this team was to find Itachi, sans Sakura – she was a last minute add on. I know Kabuto will pose some kind of problem in the near future." The Akatsuki member blinked at him once before resting his cheek on his palm.
"So you devised this whole plan and team, added pinky to it at the last minute, then suddenly realized that your little team would be useless in finding Kabuto, so looked for me to find him?" he asked, rolling the scenario around in his head a little. He received a nod. "Wow."
"Besides, my birthday is coming up and much rather spend it with you than these," his hand rolled over to his team, "guys." Naruto smirked.
"You'd actually choose me over your own team?" he asked, fluttering his eyelashes. "How sweet, Sasu-chan." The blond relaxed into his seat, slumping on to the table with a sigh. Silence took over the group for a while before Suigetsu interrupted.
"So, from my understanding, you, Naruto, and Sakura all have history with each, huh Sasuke? Care to tell the story?" he asked. Both the boys of the former team didn't look as though they were going to start so Sakura took the role.
"When we graduated from the Academy, we were all put together under the teachings of Hatake Kakashi, a Jonin of Konoha. From there we went one many missions together as Team 7. Everything went relatively smoothly until the Chunin Exams." The pinkette paused, gathering herself.
"That's when Sasuke got his curse mark, huh?" the young swordsman asked. Sakura nodded.
"From then on, he changed. He was constantly on about power, never playful anymore." Naruto snickered.
"There was this one time when me and Jiraiya were out of the village for 'training' and we got cornered by Itachi and Kisame in this hotel. And of course Sasuke showed up only to get his ass kicked." Sasuke gave the blond a small glare but said nothing otherwise.
"When Sasuke was in the hospital, he was completely different. He wouldn't talk to anyone and was always glaring at something."
"But of course, it's completely irrelevant that if I hadn't brought the old hag to Konoha, Sasuke and Kakashi both would have been brain dead, and Lee permanently crippled." Naruto commented, causing the pinkette to glare at him again. "Continue."
"Sasuke demanded that Naruto fight him on the roof of the hospital. If Kakashi and Jiraiya hadn't showed up…"
"You would have been a bloody splatter on the ground for foolishly running between two high powered attacks." It was Sasuke this time that interrupt and Naruto snickered. Sakura flushed a light pink in embarrassment and went back to the story.
"The two were flung into two water boilers and Sasuke got upset that Naruto's Rasengan blew his water boiler up and stormed off. Before we knew it, Sasuke left the village. They sent a team after him and most of them turned up almost dead." Sakura glared at the blond innocently laying his head on the table. "Naruto here, despite being Sasuke's so-called best friend, couldn't even bring him back to the village." Blue eyes narrowed at the pinkette.
"You weren't even selected to go on the mission, Haruno."
"While that may be true, I didn't just let him leave the village."
"Well I tried my best, damn it."
"Like hell you did! You just didn't fucking care! You never cared about anybody in Konoha! You just went on the mission to save face." Sakura hissed at the blond. Her glare was returned tenfold but she didn't back down.
"You don't even know what happened on that mission so shut the fuck up! Just because we Genin were overwhelmed by a bunch of Jonin doesn't mean we didn't care! I easily could have killed him in that valley but I didn't! You know what I am and if I didn't care, he wouldn't be here." The two dead set in a glaring match before Sasuke sighed, eyes narrowing at Naruto's red eyes, a tattletale sign of the blonde's anger.
"Alright you two, calm down. We don't need anyone to get enraged, especially you Naruto. I understand we're on a rather… touchy subject but calm down." The two glared at each other for a little while longer before Naruto closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his eyes changing back to blue. He turned to Sasuke, icy blue eyes unwavering.
"I will be staying at a hotel around here. Just look for my chakra signature. Your team can get their own room. I'll see you later, Sasuke." With that said, the blond stood swiftly and exited the restaurant. Sasuke sighed again through his nose, his cold eyes boring into Sakura's green ones.
"Nice good Sakura. First day on the job and you've already pushed away our target." he snipped, standing up as a notion the group to ready to leave. "I'm considering letting you go." Sakura's eyes widened and bowed her head.
"I'm sorry, Sasuke." He stared at her bowed head a little while longer before turning and leaving the restaurant as well, the team following after with Sakura taking the rear. She let out a small sigh, her fists clenching. That idiot messed it up for her again. But that was okay; she had a long while to win Sasuke over.
The team headed out into the town, past the gates of the inner city to the surrounding forest. Sasuke stopped them in a clearing, miles away from civilization. He faced them. "Alright, I'll be gauging your abilities and chakra levels. We'll train on each of you weaknesses and eliminate them. I'm not going to have anyone dying because they can't defend themselves. Sakura, we'll start with you since I have a general idea of the others' powers." The pinkette stepped forward, pulling on her gloves. Without further ado, she walked up to a tree and punched it firmly. Seconds later, the entire tree burst into trillion of tooth pick sized splitters. She turned and smiled at the raven looking at her passively. "It that it?" he asked boredly. She frowned but nodded nonetheless. "Well it's good enough. And you being a medic will give us an advantage. You still need training. Karin you try next, although I really don't see the point." The magenta haired girl shifted from foot to foot.
"I don't really know anything." she murmured, blushing in embarrassment. Suigetsu snorted with laughing, trying to keep a straight face. Sasuke sighed and shook his head.
"Whatever, we'll just go back into town and guys can shop or something." the raven said. Sakura jumped at her chance to be alone with the Uchiha.
"Are you coming, Sasuke? We could take a walk and catch up or something." she said, scuffing the tip of her sandal in the dirt. The Uchiha shrugged and started heading for town. Sakura froze for a second before smiling, trying to contain her excitement.
"The rest of you just meet up at the main gates of the village at sundown. Come on, Sakura. I don't have all day." The pinkette hurried after the Uchiha, falling in step with him.
"So, uh, what have you been doing these past three years?"
"Training, what else would I be doing?"
"Oh, right." she said, looking down. "I've kind of been doing the same. I trained under Tsunade to work on my strength and medical ninjutsu." Sasuke grunted but otherwise stayed quiet. "What… what is Naruto to you?"
"I don't know. He's so complicated." She hummed in acknowledgement, smiling eternally. Takai and the others were wrong; Sasuke wasn't in love with Naruto.
"What do you think your wife is going to be like when it's time for you to rebuild your clan?"
"Who ever said I was straight?" She froze, shock taking over her. "I guess you could call Naruto my boyfriend."
"W-what?" she whisper. She ran after the Uchiha, grabbing him by the shoulder and turning him to her. "You can't be gay!"
"And why not? Last time I checked, I can be whoever the hell I want to. And it's out of my control."
"How are you supposed to rebuild your clan? You can't do that with a guy!"
"I can always get a surrogate mother to carry my child." The pinkette was quiet for a while, anger flickering under the surface.
"Why? Why him? What's so important about him? There are many different girls to choose from and you choose him! Why!" The raven gave a shrug to her outburst.
"Love is love, I guess." He stopped and turned when he noticed she stopped as well. "Are we going to keep walking or what-" He didn't get to finish his sentence as lips sealed themselves over his own. The medic had a vice grip of both his wrists, keeping him from shoving her away. He yanked his head away from her, pulling his arms. "What the hell Sakura? Let me go!"
"Come on, just another kiss. Just for him to see how much you love me." Onyx eyes widened and he kicked her away, wiping his mouth with the back of his sleeve. Despite being shoved to the ground, the pinkette had a smirk on her face. It was then that he sensed the familiar chakra flickering angrily behind him. He turned around stiffly to icy cold blue eyes glowering at him.
"Naruto, it's not what it looks like." The blond put up a tanned hand to silence him.
"Shut up, I don't need your excuses."
"But it's not an excuse, I'm serious!" The blond rolled his eyes and walked off. The Uchiha made to go after him but the pinkette grabbed onto his arm.
"It's okay Sasuke-kun, no need to give a reason why you love me and not that fag." she sneered. Sasuke snatched his arm from the girl but by that time, the blond had already disappeared. Sasuke growled loudly, his chakra spiking wildly as he slammed his fist into the nearest tree, the tree snapping in half and falling over. His harsh glare swiveled over to Sakura who was watching him worriedly. "What's wrong, Sasuke? Why are you so angry?"
"Why am I so angry you ask? As if you didn't just fucking ruin my relationship?"
"He wasn't worth your time anyway, Sasuke. He's on sides with your enemy. What would stop him from telling Itachi where you are so he can kill you?"
"He's not like that! Damn it, why don't you get it? I don't like you! I'm gay okay? I hold no attraction to the female gender, let alone you so why don't you just fuck off!" Sakura held her hands to her chest, hurt. Before she could say anything, Sasuke stormed off in the direction Naruto had left earlier. She sighed but smiled anyway.
"What will it take to show you that we were meant to be?" She shook her head a slowly made her way to town.

It wasn't until nightfall that Sasuke finally found his blond. The younger of the two was sitting in a tree staring at the moon. The raven wasn't exactly silent with his entrance but Naruto never stirred as he spoke. "So you've found me, huh?"
"That wasn't what it looked like, Naruto."
"Of course it wasn't."
"She forced herself on me! You don't honestly believe that I would kiss her, do you?" Naruto stood from the tree branch and hopped down to the ground, a few feet from the raven in the clearing.
"Well I don't know, Sasuke. She is a girl and you do need to repopulate your clan."
"But it wouldn't be with her!"
"So there's another girl? Let me guess, the red head on your team, huh?"
"No!"
"Then who is it, Sasuke?"
"Nobody! Why do you think I'm seeing someone else?" Naruto shrugged and walked past the Uchiha. Sasuke grabbed his wrist and spun the blond around, sealing his lips over the younger boy's while holding both of Naruto arms to his sides. Both the teens let their eyes slip close, keeping the kiss sweet and chaste. They separated and Naruto let a fox grin spread over his face when the raven let his wrists go.
"You know you're really hot when you angry." Onyx eyes widened before narrowing at the snickering fox before him. Without warning he slammed his lips on the blonde's. Tanned arms wrapped themselves around Sasuke's neck as the two backed slowly into a tree. Naruto pushed against his raven's chest, separating them only for Sasuke to attack his neck. "Come on, if you want this to get heated, we got to- mm! - get back to the hotel room." Sasuke begrudgingly halted his attack on the tan column before him, not before leave a bright red mark of course, and stepped back. He flared his chakra lightly, signaling the team that it was time to return, and followed the blond out of the clearing.

Sasuke and Naruto stood around at the entrance of the town, waiting for the other members of the team. Suigetsu arrived first, looking slightly tipsy with Juugo trailing after him. Karin was next to arrive, admiring a pretty necklace she brought from a stall. Finally, Sakura arrived from the forest, her white cloak on her arm. She gave Sasuke a smile, which he didn't return, and stood next to Suigetsu, awaiting orders like the others. "Okay," Sasuke started, "on a whim, Naruto here is going to let us stay with him. So don't fuck it up, clear?" The four nodded and followed their leader and his friend through town.
Sooner or later the group stopped at a large five star hotel. The people coming in and out were dressed in expensive clothing with all kinds of precious jewels on their person. They walked inside and took the elevator to the top floor. Naruto unlocked the door with a key and they stepped in, slipping their sandals off at the door. "Well," Naruto started, "there's three rooms; the master, which is mine, and two guest rooms, each two beds. Set it up however you want; I don't care. Good night." With that, the blond stretched his arms over head and went into the master bedroom with Sasuke tailing after him, shutting the door behind the two.
