AN: It was recently brought to my attention that I made a goof in my first version of chapter 6, thanks to my reviewer I was able to find and correct the problem. However I believe I should also take his further advice and start asking for a beta…so if there are any takers, feel free to PM me. And on a last note, there are some not so child friendly scenes so if you aren't of appropriate age, you might just wanna skip this chapter.

Chapter 7

Sighing Naruto wondered how he managed to get himself into his current predicament. Huddled against the side of the tent, he lay in his sleeping bag watching his beloved slumber. With every steady rise and fall of her chest Naruto began to rethink his situation, after all, sharing a tent was just her teasing him right?' Naruto pondered. Sighing again Naruto rolled over and tried to get some sleep.

Chuckling inside her head, Anko rolled over and took her chance to finally watch the object of her affection. After Naruto had returned to the campsite with the dead deer she had put her plan into action! And it had been well worth it to say the least, he had sputtered, stuttered, and stumbled all over his sentences and his own feet. With a delicate smile, Anko slowly slide across the spacious tent and snuggled into Naruto's broad back, laying her arm over his hips she drifted off to sleep.

Daylight broke as the two friends were still heavily sleeping in their shared tent. As the sun rose daggers of sunlight filtered through the tent and shone brightly on Anko's face. Waking up with a slight frown she soon smiled at the possibilities to tease the sleeping blonde. Settling on her idea Anko flipped through about a dozen hand signs and laughed quietly to herself.

After finishing the hand signs Anko let out a small breath before inhaling and spitting out a small street of ice cold water at the sleeping blonde. Making sure to aim for his face, and specifically his open mouth, she directed the stream to make sure that he would be waking from this…unmissable chance to tease and surprise her love.

Naruto was having an amazing dream. Anko and he were laying on a shady bank by one of his favorite places in Kohona, deep in the woods of Kohona there was a beautiful waterfall that cascaded down the rocky hill formation into the peaceful pool below. Anko had just gotten up to go and the something from her coat that was hung on a low branch, seeing a slight smirk appear on her angelic face Naruto started to get worried as to what she might have planned.

Feining a trip (which is quite difficult for a ninja) Anko landed by the bank of the pool and as she "righted" herself she lashed out a hand and splashed crystalline water all over Naruto.

Naruto now waking found himself sputtering at the sudden wetness that had become his bed and clothing. Hearing a musical laugh Naruto looked up with a glare to see Anko covering her mouth with her hand and attempting to fight the tears of laughter that she was experiencing. Naruto launched himself, wet clothes and all at the laughing Anko and pinned her to the ground.

"So you think that's funny huh? Well how about I make us even?" Naruto gently rolled Anko onto her side and kissed her neck, making sure to leave a noticeable mark. The second Anko moaned, his lips left her skin, his body left the ground and Naruto was suddenly in dry clothes.

"That was mean Naruto-kun." Anko said with a pout.

"I know," Naruto said as he leaned in to kiss her and whispered in her ear, "Now lets get to Kumo so we can finish what we started."

Felling shivers ran up and down her spine, Anko blushed and challenged Naruto to a race to the nearest town, and the loser had to pay for the other's lunch…all of their lunch. Anko pushed chakra to her legs and pulled ahead of Naruto…or she thought that she did. She heard the distinct whiz of a kunai slicing the air and a brief flash of black and yellow Naruto was dashing through the foliage at top speed leaving her nothing but dust to keep up with.

A few minutes after Naruto passed, he began to see the nearby village and again used a burst of chakra to soar over the land and arrive at the village, almost a half hour later Anko walked out of the forest and up to the ramen stand that Naruto had planted himself at. With a sigh Anko sat and order chicken ramen and looked over at Naruto's stack of bowls, calculating approximately how deflated her wallet was going to be after her stupid mouth had gotten her into her latest bind.

"Miss?" the ramen host started, "you're bill is 3263 yen. (About 40 American dollars)"

Anko felt her wallet shriek in pain at the loss of almost a third of its total contents. Sighing Anko handed over the cash and headed out of the stand to find Naruto and continue on the journey they had started a few days before. Finding him standing at the entrance with a wrapped parcel in his hands Anko looked surprised when he handed it to her and told her to open it. Peeling back the brown paper, Anko found a new black trench coat, though according to Naruto it was special. He had personally modified it with strengthening seals, weather resistant seals, and storage seals on the inside of both sleeves. And to make it all the more special, on the inside middle of the coat, Naruto had drawn in his personal Hirashin seal array, so at any given time he could jump to her position.

"Ko-chan, if you ever need me and we're apart all you have to do is push some of your chakra into that seal and I'll know you need me." Naruto informed her.

Unable to resist the urge, Anko grabbed the back of his head and pulled him into a searing kiss. Moaning from the shear passion of her kiss Naruto pulled Anko closer against him and returned her kiss with every iota of passion he could muster. Pulling away Anko quickly kissed him again and then tried to regain her bearings. Clearing his throat Naruto straightened his jacket and jerked his head to suggest they get going, with a nod Anko agreed and off they were to the next town, trying desperately to get there before the sun went down.
