Letters and Dumplings


Hello Tsunade-sama,

We were just writing….
WHAT THE FUCK, Tsunade! Did you know that Kakashi and Iruka-sensei will be here? Is this some sort of joke? Why the fuck did you send us if-
What the Uchiha means is that we found Kakashi and Iruka here in the festival and we wondered if they are our backup or if we are their backup? If so, why were we not informed that they would be here?
lshgdjghdhgdhjgs the fuck? I meant exactly what I wrote! I don't care what the Nara says, I want some kamidammed answers! And I KNOW NARA, that kamidammed does not exist, go write your other letter!
Sorry about the Uchiha, Hokage-sama, we hope to receive your answer soon.

-Karasu and Bushou

Tsunade raised an eyebrow as she re-read the letter. Well, it seemed that she did right in sending the Uchiha and the Nara together. they seemed to be getting along just fine, which was great.
Now, Kakashi and Iruka at the festival? Hmm, well, they were on vacation so Sasuke and Shikamaru were still on their own.
TSunade took out a parchment and began her reply.

…..

Hey Ino! Chouji! …..Dobe, Sakura…..

How are you guys? Not getting into too much trouble I hope? Just writing to make sure you guys have not destroyed the village, especially Naruto! Also, I have some news, did you know Kakashi and Iruka are going out, we saw them making out and-
Dear lord, what are you a girl, Nara? Hey Dobe, found your Iruka making out with the pervert Kakashi, it was traumatizing, I don't think I can sleep at night-
Oh please, you sleep like the dead, you practically kick me off the bed!
Nara, you do know that that is something that supposed to have stayed between us?
Troublesome, Uchiha is PMSing again-sjhhgd-hsgeggjdd
Like I was saying before the Nara interrupted me-
You were saying nothing important, besides this is my letter, remember?
Hey fhsggsghsr47898854 Give ME that iuhsg3489584ehuwg what thssshgi48935
Alright, so I'll write another letter when the Uchiha is not here!

-Karasu and Bushou

Sakura, Ino and Chouji looked down at the THUD sound. Naruto had fainted again.

"Hmm…do you think that he fainted because of Kakashi and Iruka, or because of Shika and Sasuke?" Ino wondered out loud. CHouji shrugged while Sakura poked Naruto, trying to revive him.

"Well, I think it was a combination of both." Sakura sighed.

"Hey, Ino why don't you kiss him awake." Chouji teased Ino, who turned bright red and smacked him upside the head.

"Yeah, Ino-chan!" Sakura puckered her lips, making kissy sounds.

"I would smack you but I don't want Hinata to be mad at me." Ino sighed dramatically, grinning in victory when Sakura flushed.

"Oh god, I just had a nightmare!" Naruto muttered as he woke up, sitting up and looking around him. it then dawned on him that it had not been a dream at all….causing him to faint again.


"Hey, Uchiha we got the response back!" Shika said, taking the scroll from the raven perched on the window.

"Also, is he your pet or something?" Shikamaru asked, petting the well behaved raven.

"We couldn't have gotten a response back, we just sent those letters and not sure, let me see." Sasuke poked his head out from the window and looked at the raven, who was by that point on Shikamaru's shoulder, cawing happily.

"Not anymore, that traitor." Sasuke grumbled, walking over and offering his arm to the raven, who happily hopped over.

"Well, apparently they got nothing better to do than to respond to us and your raven is very fast then." Shikamaru shrugged, unfolding the scroll.

"Damn right he is!" Sasuke affirmed proudly, the raven cawing in agreement.

"Like owner like pet." Shikamaru rolled his eyes, before reading the letter.

Dear Brats,

I had no idea that Kakashi and Iruka were going to be there. They are on vacation so I didn't ask where they were going. This means that you two are still on your own.
However, I am glad to hear that you two are getting along so great. I am sure that the mission will be easy for you two, since you two have such a great relationship. Have fun!

-Hokage

"Well, that answers that," Sasuke grumbled, while Shikamaru moved on to the next letter.

Hey, Shika! Sup Shika? Hello Shikamaru, SHIKAMARU! Shikamaru-san!
Greetings Uchiha, Uchiha, Sasuke, Teme, Sasuke –san.
As you can tell, Hinata is joining us in writing the letter, which means I should let you know that she is now dating Sakura=dgshdgjhfh
We are not dating!
Well, they are trying to resuscitate her, you know how Hinata gets when embarrassed, but I think she really is going out with Sakura and-
Teme! Why didn't you tell me you liked guys? I'm your best friend!
Give me that! Ino back, so Hinata has been revived, but she fainted again because of her close proximity to Sakura's face and-
I want to know why he didn't tell me!
Dammit Naruto, I'm writing the letter!
But I need to knooooooooooooooowwwww!
Give me the quill!
Well, Ino and Naruto are now fighting, so you two must have realized that not only are Sakura nad Hinata dating but Ino and Naruto are pretty much a coup-
Aha, got the quill! –hdhg- dammithhsbag Narutjkhgfkdjg
TEME! TELL ME!
NARUTO-KUN! SASUKE-SAN LIKES YOU!
Well, as you might have noticed, that was Hinata that blurted the truth out, and now Naruto has fainted and Hinata is trying to regain her breath….as you can see we haven't been that good at keeping out of trouble on the bright side, many secrets are now out in the open and things can get resolved….and yes, I am laughing at you Uchiha….mmmwwaahahahahahahha
Don't be mean, Ino! I am sorry Sasuke-san, I did not mean to blurt your secret out like that.
Well, that explains a lot Sasuke, I should have seen it….well, just want ot let you know that I am still your friend and I am here if you wish to talk about Naruto and any other problems.
Yeah, now that she is a lesbian she is a lot more calm and rational-
Ino stop telling people!
Oh my god!
Well, just to let you know, Naruto has fainted again, Hinata as well, Sakura nad Ino are arguing nad I think we will write you another letter when things are calmer….for now, hope you….ummm…two…. are well…..be safe, and I want to add that if Shikamaru finds you worthy, then I am sure you are not that bad Uchiha, however you better not hurt him.
Wait up, I want ot say something too! Hey, Uchiha, you might be sleeping with Shikamaru, which is probably angry sex because that seems to be the only thing you be good at in a relationship, it is pretty much the only good quality you have, but I digress, you might be sleeping with our Shika, but don't think that I won't hurt you and cause bodily harm if you hurt him or step out of line, got it? Good!
Take care and remember you two are on a mission! Don't fool around too much!

-Ino, CHouji, Sakura, Hinata, and Naruto

Ps. Naruto is still unconscious, but I figure I would ask for him, more details on the whole Kakashi Iruka relationship, and I just want details because I'm a pervert….and so are Hinata and Sakura….

Shikamaru placed the letter down, chuckling softly. He looked over to see Sasuke on the floor, the raven pecking at his master.

"Well, I do not think that your master took the contents of the letter well," Shikamaru told the raven, who just cawed in consent.


It was a few hours later, that Sasuke woke up. He groaned as he sat up and looked around. Shikamaru was sitting on a chair right next to the bed, skimming over some magazine.

"Well, sleeping beauty has finally woken up!" Shikamaru chirped, much to Sasuke's annoyance.

"I had the worst nightmare…ever…."Sasuke shuddered just as Shikamaru brought out the letter again.

"Fuck my life, it wasn't a nightmare." Sasuke dropped back unto the bed, glaring at the ceiling.

"I told you the only good thing you can do is angry sex." Shikamaru pointed out, throwing the letter next to Sasuke's head.

"Nara, I think at this moment there are worst problems than that."

"Well, Naruto knows, and I think he took it rather well." Shikamaru shrugged, smile still ever present.

"What? Naruto knows! The secret I've been keeping for years! He was never suppose to know! Dammit!" Sasuke jumped out of the bed and began pacing, while Shikamaru shared a look with the raven.

"Look, Naruto now knows, so you must write a letter and just tell him yourself and explain it all." Shikamaru advised, though Sasuke just glared at him because he did not like that option.

"Besides, Ino will help you out, I'll tell her." Shikamaru claimed, humming happily.

"Why would she and you do that? And why the fuck are you humming!" Sasuke snapped.

"Ino loves Naruto, genius, she has for a long while, you don't think you were the only one, did you?" Shikamaru rolled his eyes, before continuing.

"Because Naruto is my friend and you….you are something to me, not sure what, but something and as such I feel compelled to help!" Shikamaru chirped, taking out a dumpling from the bag next to his feet and munching on it.
Sasuke looked at Shikamaru surprised, face turning bright red all of the sudden.

"Thank you, Shikamaru."
He then noticed that Shikamaru was eating the special dumplings.

"I told you to not eat those dumplings!" Sasuke cried out, rushing over to try and take the bag, but Shikamaru quickly hugged it to his chest.

"But I love dumplings! They are mine!" Shikamaru cried out, struggling against Sasuke, but obviously, between the both of them, Sasuke had the more strength. Sasuke stepped back, triumphantly.
Shikamaru just looked at Sasuke, eyes beginning to tear up.

"Crap." Sasuke muttered as Shikamaru was about to begin to cry.

"I'll take you to the festival tonight and buy you whatever you want but no dumplings!" Sasuke exclaimed before Shikamaru burst into tears. Shikamaru blinked and looked at Sasuke suspiciously, before grinning and hugging him.

"Great! I must get ready then!" Shikamaru cried out, making his way to the bathroom.

Sasuke sighed and gave the dumplings to his raven, who happily ate the rest of the dumplings.

Great, what had Sasuke gotten himself into? On the bright side, he wasn't feeling too bad about his secret being out anymore. Sasuke smiled softly as he remembered Shikamaru's reason to helping him….he was something…..


Ino was trying to wake Naruto up, while Sakura tried to wake Hinata up when two people walked into the flower shop.

"Sai!" Ino immediately launched herself at Sai, who awkwardly patted her in the back, confused as to just what was going on the flower shop.

The person next to him coughed, causing Ino to launch herself at him.

"Shino!" Ino grinned.
The name of Shino caused Hinata to awaken and sit up, smiling sweetly at Shino.

"Shino-san, how was the trip?" Hinata asked as she was helped up to her feet by Sakura.

"Fine, it was long because of the weather, but it was rather simple." Shino responded, smiling softly at them.

"Yeah, now what exactly is going on here?" Sai asked, motioning to the commotion.
Ino stepped back and moved over to Naruto's side.

"You tell him you liked him already?" Sai asked, bluntly. Ino growled and hit him upside the head.

"Idiot, no I haven't!" Ino snapped, crossing her arms angrily.

"Ouch, Ino." Sai rubbed his head.

"Naruto has found out that Sasuke likes him." Hinata spoke up, looking guilty.

Sai's expression darken, emitting a soft "oh."

"Where is the Uchiha?" Shino asked, looking around for the raven haired.

"He is on a mission with Shikamaru." Chouji explained, causing Sai's expression to darken even more if that was possible.

"Stop your sulking Sai, and get over it." Ino rolled her eyes.

"Look who is talking, Ino." Sai snorted, motioning with his head to the still unconscious Naruto.

"Yeah, but at least you have a person chasing after you." Ino sighed, dejectedly.

"Ino," Sakura placed a hand on Ino's shoulder.

"Wait, I do?" Sai asked confused, causing everyone else to roll their eyes. Sai could be so oblivious sometimes.
it was at that moment that Naruto begin waking up, sitting up and rubbing his head.

"Hey guys, when did Sai and Shino get here?" Naruto asked, looking at them confused.

"We just arrived, so now you know about Sasuke?" Sai asked, causing Ino to look at the sky and wondered just why Sai was so tactless.

"Uggh…yea…..can't believe he didn't tell me." Naruto mumbled, scratching his head confused.
Everyone looked at each other, before beginning to leave.

"Well, I need to go help with some new experiment my father is making," Chouji stated, making his way out.

"Yeah, Hinata and I are going to help at the hospital," Sakura stated, "and I'm sure Sai and Shino need their check up." Sakura grabbed Sai and dragged him out of the flower shop, confused.
Hinata smiled and hurried after Sakura, Shino tagging along. Ino sighed and turned back to look at Naruto.

"Come, Naruto, let's go sit down and talk." Ino tugged Naruto up.


Shikamaru looked at himself. He smooth down his shirt a bit nervously.

Kami, he was nervous of going out with Sasuke? What the hell was wrong with him? was that Ino voce in his head right, was he gaining a crush on Sasuke?

'well, Sasuke is kind of like Neji…' there was that Temari voice back.

'yeah, Shika, that must be it….Sasuke is a lot like Neji, both in looks and behavior….'

Shikamaru decided to ignore the two voices in his head and just walk out of the bathroom.

"Let's go!" Shikamaru chirped, finding himself flushing when he found himself noticing that Sauke looked good with the black pants and black shirt. Black was definitely his color.

"Hn." Sasuke muttered, wlakng out of the what Shikamaru called, apartment cause no way was that a hotel room. Sasuke had rushed out in order to make srue that Shikamaru did not notice the blush on his face. Shikamaru looked good in tight jeans and a navy blue button down shirt.

Shikamaru followed and once outside, sighed in relief when he noticed how many people were not wearing kimonos. They didn't look out of place, that was a relief, or it would have been might awkward….more than it already was.
