Duo-kun – chapter 8
Kakashi merely eye smiled at the angry brunet's outrage and said "Ahhh now Duo-chan, that's not my intention at all. Can't we be friends?" with a smirk.
"Yeahhh and me and Sakura-chan are bestest friends everrrrrr." Naruto felt he had to call out from where he was inside now staring out the window as he brought his load of dishes to Wufei at the sink.
Wufei snorted a laugh and shook his head. "Careful, Duo is the worst prankster, he'll get you back in some inventive ways."
Duo rolled his eyes and huffed, deflating tiredly. "Why are you here again? Other than to harass me of course."
Kakashi eye smiled at Duo again and said "I'm here to give Naruto-kun a message actually."
Naruto blinked from where he stood and, tilting his head to the side, said "Sooo you hid in a bush and spied on us to give me a message?...cause that makes all kinds of sense, ne?"
"Naru has a point, that is the most round-about way ever to deliver a message, Sassy coulda' lit you on fire," Duo said, shaking his head as he wandered back toward the house, intending to help with the massive cleanup.
Sasuke hunnned, the likelihood of him catching the specialized jonin being slim to none… not that he was about to point that out to Duo….if the brunet wanted to believe that he could go right ahead…though why it was important that Due have such confidence in the raven haired boy said raven head was still unsure of.
Kakashi chuckled and said "Ah come on, a sensei is supposed to surprise his students every now and again."
Naruto rolled his eyes and said "Hai whatttteverrrr so….gonna give me this message or just gonna stand there all day?"
Shaking his head, Kakashi sighed as if put upon before saying "Ah well Jiraiya-sama asked me to tell you to meet him today at the usual spot, well ja-ne!" so saying the silver haired man suddenly poofed out of existence.
Naruto frowned down at the dishes in his hands…this was odd Jiraiya-Oji-san hadn't trained him at all since the end of the exams…in fact he'd barely seen hide nor hair of the white haired senin at all.
Heero had finally stopped chuckling at Sasuke and was now eyeing the spot where Kakashi had been a moment ago. "That's a nice trick."
"I suppose," Duo said, also staring at the poof of smoke, "so you skipping out on us Naru?"
Naruto puffed out his breath, his brow furrowing as he continued cleaning. "Ah I don't know… not sure what ojji might want… probably should go see…maybe he'll continue my traningggg." he finished dragging out the last word almost as if he was unsure of himself.
Sasuke snorted and, turning around, said "Hai, you do need more of that…"
Naruto puffed up his cheeks like a squirrel and made a raspberry at the raven haired boy in response of that.
Hinata giggled softly to herself, Sasuke-san and Naruto-kun were really good friends weren't they? Ah she wished she had a friend she could be that comfortable with.
"Well then, don't you guys have some ninja skills that'll make cleaning up faster? Then we can deliver Naru and get a feel for this… village?" Duo suggested, turning to Sasuke for confirmation. This place was huge but he was sure he had heard them calling it a 'village.'
Sasuke hunned and, letting out a breath, turned to stare at Naruto almost expectantly.
Naruto began to laugh softly under his breath before bursting out almost maniacally. "Ohhhh I can make it fasssssterrrrr." He said with a big goofy grin on his face.
Wufei immediately backed away, he knew that look all too well.
Cracking his neck one way then the other he began to go through a set of hand signs, before shouting "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" a large cloud of smoke filled the room before clearing to reveal a dozen Naruto's all with various goofy grins.
"Alright guys let's get this rocking!" one of the Naruto's said pumping his fist into the air, which met with cheers from the others who all got to work.
Duo and Heero both walked over to the window and stared in, watching the dozens of Narutos working. "That has to be handy…" Duo murmured, leaning on the windowsill. He didn't see the need to climb in, there was no room for anyone else to help with all the Naruto's, who were making rather quick work of the mess.
Hinata could only giggle as the Naruto's noisily went about cleaning, seemingly unable to be quiet for even a moment as they clanked clean pots and pans back to where they went and raced one another cleaning the floors and cabinets.
Sasuke humped and walking over said "That's the baka's favorite jutsu, any excuse to use it and there he goes….I suppose it has its uses."
One of the Naruto's scowled over Duo and Heero at the raven haired boy and said "Ahhhhh but it's not my favorite jutsuuuuuuuu."
This caused Sasukes eyes to widen as the other Naruto's having finished their tasks all turned cerulean eyes on him, a mischievous twinkle in their eyes. The baka wouldn't….oh what was he thinking this was the baka after all…he would…but Sasuke wouldn't be affected after all he'd seen that jutsu hundreds of times too, why would it affect him?
The Naruto's blinked slowly, a cat that ate the canary grin on their faces as they made their way to the window. "Gomen Duo-kun, Heero-kun mind letting us outtttt?" the seemingly led Naruto said fluttering his eyelashes at the two dark haired boys.
Smiling Duo steeped aside and swept his arms out in an 'after you' motion. "Be my guest." Heero rolled his eyes and steeped back as well to allow the mob to crawl out.
"So what is your favorite jutsu?" Duo asked, unable to quell his curiousity.
The Naruto's filed out of the window, smirks still in place, the lead Naruto bowed deeply to Duo and said "I'm so glad you asked my dear Duo-kunnn, allow us to demonstrate our most fearsome and favorite of jutsu."
Ending on a perverted giggle as all of the Naruto's turned their attention to the slowly backing up Sasuke, causing the raven haired boy to freeze in his slow retreat. Damn….he had hoped Duo would hold their attention a little longer….sure the jutsue wouldn't work on him…but why risk it really?
"Hey guys lets go with something a little more…Sasuke…" One of the Naruto's said with a smirk, which the others quickly got causing them all to get feral grins and evil glints in their eyes.
Sasuke gulped as the blondes went through some more hand signs and all said in unison "Harem no Jutsu" causing puffs of smoke to surround the blonds.
As the smoke began to clear busty brunets were reviled all in various suggestive poses, with smoke just barley coving their….bits...long brown hair pulled up into twin pigtails that draped and blew in the wind reaching the waist of the girls while deep amethyst eyes sparkled from a distinctly familiar face.
As one the girls said in a low seductive voice "Sassyyyyyyyyy."
Sasuke's eyes were so big you couldn't see the whites of them, and he seemed to have stopped breathing his eyes transfixed on what the smoke revealed…only one thing running through his head…Damn…Duo was one hot chick…..before his eyes rolled back and blood spurting from his nose as he passed right out.
Poor Wufei was also out cold and Heero had turned away, blushing tomato red. He definitely did not want to think of a naked girl Duo.
Duo wasn't faring much better, his eyes were huge and he was opening and closing his mouth repeatedly, finally settling on "…okay, I can honestly say that this is definitely not what I was expecting… your favorite Justus is a harem of…me? I think you broke Sassy."
All of the Duo-chans puffed away leaving only one laughing hysterically Naruto rolling around on the ground. "Iie….I can change it to suit whoever I'm using on." He managed to get out between laughing tears running down his face from laughing so hard.
Hinata was doing a good impression of a tomato, Naruto-kun was more of a pervert then she had first realized. She thought as she watched the sunny haired boy roll around before turning her attention to the passed out Wufei. He hadn't hit his head had he? She thought as she gingerly examined the dark haired boy on the floor.
Duo blinked, watching a naked female him roll on grass was… weird. "Okay, you so need to be Naru again cause this is odd." Duo looked away, holding out a hand to help Naruto up. "You so gotta' teach me that."
Naruto smiled up at Duo as he took his hand and as the other boy pulled him up wrapped his still very slim and very feminine arms around Duo and blinked down at the other boy, having added inches to his height out of habit making the Duo-chan taller then the actual Duo-kun causing the amethyst eyed girl to have to look down at the boy in her arms.
"Ohhhh Duo-kun, I'd be happy to teach youuuuuuu." Duo-chan purred fluttering her own deep amethyst eyes down at Duo…completely ignoring the fact that he/she was still very much…neckid.
Duo blinked, this was officially the weirdest day of his life and he couldn't help cracking a smile and blushing. "Have you no modesty?" Duo said, happy he had to look up instead of looking down. "This is the weirdest conversation ever…" he continued, setting his hands gingerly on very naked female hips to try to push Naruto off.
With a groan Sasuke blinked his eyes open….why was he sleeping outside….in the middle of the day….something had happened right. Frowning he sat up wincing a bit at the pain in his head from his rough landing. Blinking he rubbed his face staring at the blood on his hand…a…nose bleed?...His eyes narrowed as it all rushed back to him.
"I'LL KILL YOU YOU BA…." Sasuke started to yell standing up only to freeze at the picture presented to him…..OO….and just like that he was back on the ground out once more.
Naruto's and Duo's eyes widened as Sasuke passed out his concentration finally breaking enough to poof back into his normal self, Duo's hands still on his hips he blinked before saying "…that….was worth all the ramen in Konaha…" .before he fell over again laughing.
"N..Naruto-kun! Th..that was mean!" Hinata scolded from inside a smile tugging at her own lips even as she tried to be the reasonable one.
Duo chuckled, finally deciding to go check on the newly passed out Sasuke. "Jeeze Naru, you may have killed the poor guy."
Heero was still red and now chuckling, Naruto's thoughts were so obvious and it was all at Sasuke's expense.
Naruto finaly pulled himself together and sat up still chuckling as he whipped the tears off his cheeks, shaking his head he said "Ah he survived being tossed around like a rag doll by that snake basterd I'm sure he'll be fineeeee."
Climbing to his feet he walked over to the prone boy who did look worse for the wear. Frowning he leanded down for a closer look. "Hunnnnn or maybe noooot, huh soo anyone know how much blood is safe for an average person to lose?" he asked somewhat hesitantly as he eyed the pools of blood under the teme….though at least it all seemed to have come from his nose….that was good….right?
"I'm gonna' say that might be a bit too much?" Duo commented, also eyeing the pools.
"Huh…maybe I should wake him up just to be safe…..okay stand back people this is a very dangerous move I'm performing here." So saying the blond took a couple of steps back himself and, clearing his thoughts channeled some chakra and used a trick he had perfected for his sexy jutsue "SASUKE-KUNNNNNNN." He called out in a very Sakura-esk voice bracing himself for impact.
Sasuke's eyes snapped open and the nin flipped to his feet flinging out a kunai at the blond….attached to which was a little piece of paper.
The blonds eyes widened as he said in his own voice "OH CRAPP!" as the paper exploded knocking him off his feet and into a nearby tree.
"Holy shit did you knife just EXPLODE?" Duo said, blinking owlishly from the ground. He and Heero had both dived at the sound of the explosion.
Heero decided that he should go check on Naruto, though the ninja was probably okay. They seemed really sturdy. "Naruto-kun?"
Seeing Heero was checking on Naruto Duo decided to handle Sasuke. "Yo Sassy, calm down, Naruto was trying to wake you so he did some weird jutsu to sound like that crazy pink girl." Duo explained, approaching Sasuke like you would a scared animal, nonthreatening with his arms out in front of him.
Naruto spun about as he unsteadily got to his feet saying "I'm okay…ok…ayyyyyy." The last part wasn't all that convincing as he wobbled and fell on his but his eyes still spinning.
Sasuke's eyes had an almost wild look in them before Duo's voice penetrated the haze of fight or fight that had caused him to attack. Blinking the raven haired boy shook his head a bit a little on the light headed side, this time he had no memory loss….and he was not a happy genin.
But since he had blown…up the baka well…he'd let it slide…for now and instead said "Hun I'm okay now Duo-san…just a little light headed."
"Well you did lose a bit of blood rapidly," Duo said, holding one hand to his own forehead and placing the other on Sasuke's. "Temps normal…"
Sasuke blushed furiusly as Duo felt his head and holding up his hands someone hesitantly said "I'm fine…really." Thought the slight wobble in his stance seemed to say other wise…thought that might have just been from the remaning blood rushing to his cheeks.
From where he sat Naruto called out in a slurred voice "Someone get the name of that toad that ran over me….gotta have a chat with Gam…gammabuntaaaa…" he ended on an odd giggle as if he had said something he found abnormally funny….this would have been normal if not for the glazed look in his eyes.
Heero, having made it to Naruto looked into Naruto's eyes and nodded to himself. "Follow my finger without turning your head," he instructed, watching Naruto's eyes. "Concussion, stay still." Heero proceeded to pick up the blonde, surprised at how light he was, and walked back to the others.
Naruto blinked still dazed as he was suddenly…in the air? "whoooooooooooo" he said throwing his arms out as if he was flying giggling madly.
Sasuke's own eyes widened at this….this was not okay….goofy baka normal…insane goofy baka….not okay….which explosive seal had he thrown anyway…and did that tree have a slightly Naruto shaped indention in it?...Frowning the raven haired boy looked on with an almost…worried look on his face, not that he'd ever admit out loud that he actually cared for the baka.
"Ne ne, think if I asked nice the fuzzy…fuzzy guy would teach me how to fly….he should know how right?...I mean nine tails and all should equal flight don't you think?..." the blonde shinobi ambled giggling so that it was hard to understand him even as he leaned in his forehead on Heero's looking into the brunettes eyes as if he was talking to just him.
Duo watched, chuckled at Heero's predicament. "Do you know any medical ninja stuff? He's concussed right?" Duo asked, the first addressing Sasuke and the second at Heero.
Heero just nodded, grabbing Naruto's shoulders to steady him. "Bad concussion."
Sasuke frowned and shaking his head at the question said "Iie…but only basic first aid….but he baka will be fine….I think…" trailing off as said blonde team mate decided to frown at Heero who was frowning at him.
"Ne did you know you get this little crease right here when you frown Heero-kun?" the blonde said somewhat more intelligently poking said crease.
Heero rolled his eyes and smirked, Naruto reminded him of Duo so much.
Hinata sat Wufei up against a wall, having determined the dark haired boy would be fine in a bit and carefully climbed out the window. A worried look on her face she approached Heero and his cargo before looking down at her hands and saying "I ha..have some tr..training…"
Naruto, realizing the dark haired girl had approached, did his best to lean towards her saying "Ne ne Hinata-chan, are you running another fever? You really should get that checked out." At this point there was an audible pop from the blonde ninja's head….though he didn't seem to notice it so intent on studying Hinata.
Heero did notice the sound and knew what it was and flinched sympathetically, that had to hurt.
Duo sighed, "I do believe I just heard a very unpleasant, but good sound, Naru's probably gonna' be fine."
Naruto for his part blinked…huh he had apparently grown….and was able to stand without using his feet….he frowned and tilted his head as he continued to look at Hinata before slowly turning his head around to face Heero…wow…he was close….looking down slowly he realized something…he was being…held?...okayyyyy last he remembered he had been waking up the teme.
Yeahhhh the teme….so…he had gotten blown up yeahhh he remembered that…so how come Heero was holding him? Gulping the blonde said "Uh Heero-kun…fancy meeting you here….um…hehe" ending on a somewhat nervous giggle.
"Hn, baka, can you stand now?" he asked, setting him on his feet gently, still holding on just in case.
Sasuke's eyebrows almost disappeared into his hair line at this….the baka, at a loss for words…he glanced around to make sure the world wasn't crumbling around him.
Duo giggled at Sasuke. "Hee-chan has that effect on people." He said, nodding sagely.
Clearing his throat and ignoring his own rosy cheeks Naruto nodded his head and said "Oh hai hai, I'm fine…yep stand all by myself all the time have since….forever you know." He ended rambling a bit as he took a step back from the other boy.
Sasuke snorted, quickly covering up his laugh with a cough he said "So….don't you have some where to be baka?"
Naruto narrowed his eyes at the raven haired boy and said in a deadly tone "You laughing at me teme? Cause we can do the whole sexy jutsu thing again."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes and said "Baka your just full of fun aren't you."
And just like that as if a gong had been rung the two boys were locked in combat kunai to kunai each growling at the other. Hinata gasped as the two grappled for supremacy neither seeming to gain or give an inch. She blinked wondering if the two played like this often.
"Now I know how Helen of Troy felt," Duo muttered."Thoughts?"
"I could throw you at them." Heero offered, sidling next to Duo.
"Ha, you're a riot Hee-chan," Duo said dryly.
Heero just smirked, watching the fight closely. Once he was sure Sasuke could see them he snatched Duo's shirt and tossed it at the two fighters.
"Oi!" Duo protested, flattening his hair back down.
Sasuke's eyes widened as he was distracted….those shoulders…those damn…shoulders….his brain froze and thus he froze, luckily for him the shirt smacked Naruto in the face…other wise the blonde might not have noticed his rivals sudden halt.
Naruto held the shirt before looking wide eyed at the now topless Duo. Shaking his head he laughed and said "Do you always wind up half naked?" tossing the shirt back to the poor boy.
Catching the shirt Duo winked at the ninjas. "Only around you guys," he pulled the shirt on, "though it seems to help distract people."
Heero was snickering at Sasuke's obvious line of sight, that was so easy.
Meanwhile, Wufei finally came to and approached the window very carefully.
Naruto snickered and said "Yeah I know right? Hey Sasuke-teme….you home?" waving his hand in fornt of Sasukes face.
Slowly Sauske tore his attention away from the shoulders…it helped that they were now covered and simply stared blankly at Naruto unblinking…he just stared….and stared…until the blonde squirmed where he stood.
Said blonde finally said "That's kinda creepy you know?"
Sasuke let an equally creepy smirk crawl up his lips and said in a hollow tone "That's the point of it…baka."
Duo burst into laughter, grabbing Heero so he wouldn't fall down. Heero snorted and rolled his eyes. "Shouldn't we get you somewhere Naruto?" he asked, noticing Wufei poking his head out the window.
Naruto blinked and shook his head before saying "ohhhhh right ojji-san, okayyyyy so….who wants to go to the hot springs?" a goofy grin in place.
Hinata blushed and stuttered out "Th..the hot spr..springs?"
Naruto nodded and said "Haii hoot springssss." In a sing song voice.
"Hot springs? That sounds nice," Duo said, straightening up. "You guys have your own hot spring?"
Heero rolled his eyes and glanced over at Wufei and raised an eyebrow. Wufei shrugged, what the hell? What could go wrong at a hot springs? Wufei sighed, this was not going to go well…
Sasuke huned and turning said "I'm going to go train…."
Naruto bolted in a flash that surprised even Sasuke as he flung an arm over the raven haired avengers shoulder "Ahhhhh come on teme, you could use some stress relifffff, besidesss you gotta be a good hosttt and help me show our guests aroundddd." The blonde said in a whinny voice.
Sasuke flinched as the blonde threw his arm over his shoulder…why did the other boy always insist on touching?... and how the hell did he keep surprising him like that…the baka was far from subtle. Shaking his dark head he said "And how again are they my guests? …if I recall you summoned them not me."
Naruto sighed and patted the back of the other boy saying "It's okay teme I know your jealous of my summoning skills, I'm sure some day you'll get a summons contract too.'
Sasuke's eye twitched "Jealous? Who would be jealous of a baka?" the black eyed boy said glaring at the blonde.
Already used to the ninjas, Duo turned to Heero. "Do I need a bathing suit for hot springs?"
Heero shook his head. "It's basically a bath."
"Ohhh," Duo said, clapping his hands. "So naked? I guess its separated?"
Heero shrugged. "Not always."
Wufei rolled his eyes as he climbed out. "You haven't been to one before Duo?" Duo shook his head no. "I guess their bigger in the East."
Sasuke's head snapped around and he stared at Duo….and just stared.
Naruto laughed and, patting Sasuke's back again, said "So it's decided everyone's coming righhhhhhht?"
Hinata shook herself and said softly "I re..really should ge..get home," smiling at the group she sighed to herself, sad to leave such a cheerful atmosphere and go back to the dark sulking one of her home.
Naruto frowned before puffing out his cheeks and saying "Ah okay Hinata-chan, but if you need to talk feel free to drop by!" ending on a goofy grin.
Sasuke hunned at the other boys stating that the group would be back here in the future …he and the blonde baka would have to have a talk about invading others privacy….for now….well he was happy he wasn't bleeding…again….he didn't think he had much more blood to lose.
"Ah, well it was great to meet you Hinata, thanks fro explaining the chakra thing to us," Duo said happily, waving to her. "Now, to the bath!" he announced, practically bouncing with a huge childlike grin, "I wanna' goooo!"
Finally outside with the others Wufei rolled his eyes. "Baka, it's a bath."
Duo stuck his tongue out. "Whatever Wuffers, it's my first one so I can't help being excited. Plus we get to see more of this ninja place."
"Alrighttt lets gooooooo!" Narto exclaimed pumping a fist into the air as he turne to head to the wall the group had come over to get into the compound only to find his collar caught by his rival.
"Ne baka, where the hell are you going, the exits this way." Sasuke said as he walked in the other direction all but dragging Naruto behind him.
Naruto, for his part, looked kinda sheepish as he let himself be pulled along saying. "Ahhh you sure we gotta go that way Sasuke?...I mean uh sure that way right…we'll use the door!" finishing he pulled himself free from the other boys grip and almost nervously followed behind the raven haired boy.
"Wait, the wall has a door? Then why did we climb the wall to get in?" Duo asked innocently, falling into step with the two ninjas.
Heero and Wufei both chuckled, Duo's policy of honestly always got someone in trouble.
Naruto laughed and, looking at Duo, said "You've never snuck into anywhere before? It's more fun if there's a surprise involved!...and generally less painful.." the last part he muttered under his breath, a bare whisper really almost as if he hadn't meant to say it out load.
Sasuke frowned to himself…he definitely needed to have that talk with the baka sooner rather than later…but he was hesitant to have it in front of these strangers from a strange place…not that he cared about the baka's feelings or anything. Shaking his head he lead the group threw dusty streets, passing house after empty house.
Some parts of the streets or buildings were streaked with a dark red substance that had long since dried. Sasuke ignored all of this seemingly not noticing the state of disrepair of the houses they were passing.
The pilots all watched in silence, seeming to sense that this place was probably a touchy subject for Sasuke.
Duo couldn't help the sad nostalgic smile or the whisper as they passed home after home. "…this place reminds me a lot of home…" Both Heero and Wufei winced, knowing he was referring to the slums of L2 where he'd grown up. This place was similar, all it was missing were the hoards of starving kids and teens begging or stealing to get by.
Naruto put his hands behind his head and hummed off key to himself, seemingly at ease with the somewhat haunting feel of the place. It reminded him a lot of…shaking his head he cut off his thoughts, he was so not going there.
The group paused as they arrived at the large wooden doors, the Uchiha fan on it seemed to have dulled and faded with age. Sasuke reached forward and yanked the doors open on surprisingly quiet hinges. Before leading the group out, only to be met by a group of adoring women who upon noticing the group began to make their way towards them.
Naruto stepped forward and slammed the doors back shut saying "And this, my dear Duo, is just one reason I don't like doors, to predictable." As he finished the sound of bodies slamming into the door could be heard. Duo giggled, it sounded like those two weirdoes at the hospital weren't the only stalkers Sasuke had.
Sasuke took a deep breath and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "How do they always know?" he mumbled.
Naruto snorted and answered the question that hadn't really been asked "They don't teme, they camp out there you know?"
Sasuke's head snapped to face Naruto his eyes widened, one twitching. "And how do you know that baka?"
Naruto blinked and laughed somewhat nervously saying "I uh…I…you see…hehe funny thing…" finishing the blonde gulped and taking a step back said in a rush "CauseI'vetotalyhadtohideouthereatimeortwo" ending with more nervous laughter.
Duo blinked, one of the few who understood such fast talk. "Why do you have so many places to hide?"
Heero and Wufei were busy laughing at poor Sasuke's predicament to notice.
Naruto laughed some more at Duo's question rubbing the back of his head saying "No….reason? Um hey look lets uh…take a short cut yeah short cut, this way everyone!" spinning on his heal he headed away from the door towards one of the alleyways between some of the buildings.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes and huned not happy to be relying on the baka…this would have to end…eventually.
Hinata frowned as the blonde did something he never did…he evaded a subject all together….did it have something to do with what she'd seen?...what…was that?
Naruto had sped up and before they knew it the group found themselves standing at another wall. "Okay up weee goooooo."
"Up and over!" Duo said, jumping and grabbing the overhang. Placing his feet flat on the wall, he pushed and and let go at the same time, doing a back flip over the wall.
Heero rolled his eyes and cupped his hands, giving Wufei a leg up and over the wall.
Naruto, followed by Sasuke and Hinata walked up the wall and simply vaulted down from the top. Landing beside Duo Naruto said "You guys sooo have to learn wall walking, it's a blast! You can even climb up mountains and stuff!"
"Psh, I like flips more," Duo said, sticking out his tongue. "Though it could be useful."
Sasuke who had landed on Naruto's other side, said "So it was you, day before…and here I thought that maybe you had out grown that…"
Naruto blinked innocent eyes at the raven haired boy and said "I don't know what you speak of oh Uchiha-sannnnn."
Sasuke snorted and said "Sure, I'm sure you had nothing to do with the Hokage Monument being florescent green…and Sakura has a small forehead too."
Heero landed next to them, snorting. If Naruto was as much like Duo as he thought, that was definitely his fault.
"Hot spring, hot spring," Duo sang, pulling the shorts a bit higher on his hips. "Should I be worried about wandering around barefoot?" He asked, wiggling his toes in the grass.
Naruto blinked and looked down at the other boy's bare feet before looking thoughtful and saying "you might fit my old sandals…if you want?" he seemed unsure of something as he shifted from foot to foot.
Hinata giggled and said "Go,,good luck mina, h..have fun." Bowing to the group.
"See ya Hinata!" Duo said cheerfully, then turned to Naruto. "You think? I mean, going bare foot won't hurt me if I don't have to worry about glass and such…"
Both Heero and Wufei bowed to Hinata, exchanging goodbyes as well. Both of them were still in their uniforms so they had shoes, unlike Duo who had left his boots and pants back at Sasuke's house.
Hinata smiled and waved as she made her exit, wondering if she'd ever be able to make such nice acquaintances again.
Naruto laughed nervously and said "Ah as long as you stick close to Sasuke you should be okay then….my place...its uh…." He trailed off laughing again his grin almost brittle as he turned to lead the group.
Without another word the blonde lead the group towards the village, it wasn't long before the group found themselves traveling down dirt roads. Sasuke tilted his head back and watched the clouds, wondering how the heck he wound up following the baka around….his nose twitched as he lowered his head so he was facing forward again…hunnnnn that…smell….
Duo was happily bouncing along, whipping his head this way and that to try to look at everything. Heero rolled his eyes and simply took it all in like he was trained to do. Wufei was dragging along, wondering how he'd managed to be dragged into this hot springs thing.
"I wonder where all your stalkers went Sassy," Duo said, turning to walk backwards so he could look at Sasuke while he walked.
Sauske fought a smile at Duo's bouncing…before frowning, his nose twitching again…now that the brunet mentioned it…it was odd. He slowly turned his head scanning the area, his gaze landed on a trash can they had passed minuets ago and narrowed.
"Hunnnnn…Naruto…." The avenger said continuing their slow pace while somehow keeping his eyes on that can…which became more than a little creepy when his head was turned almost all the way backwards to do so.
"Yes oh teme oneeeeee." Naruto called back glancing over his shoulder. "HOLY.." he finished tripping and falling at the sight of Sasuke. Sitting up the blonde stared at the now motionless Sasuke and said "Dude…creepy much?"
Sasuke hunned and said "You remember that stink bomb?"
Naruto nodded slowly and said "Oh hai hai, it was a fun little creation made to smell like a dumpst…er." He finished frowning as he got to his feet and stared at the trash can...
Duo looked from the ninja to the trash can. Hmm they were acting like Sasuke had been staring at the bush, which could only mean…
Duo stopped and stormed towards the trash can. "It's that white haired pervert again isn't it?"
The trash can in question seemed to start shaking at this.
Sasuke blinked and turning to look at Duo said "I wish it was….I really, really wish it was…."
Naruto choked on a laugh as he began to back away back the way they had been heading "Hey Sasuke…you remember how we got out of the forest?"
Sasuke blinked and nodded to which Naruto said "From now on whenever we go out you ain't going as you…that's for damn sure…okay everyoneee evasive maneuvers! EVASIVE MANEUVERS!" ending on a yell as he sprinted forward and turned sharply to the left.
Sasuke hunned and said simply "I hate being me some days more than others." As he followed the blonde, seconds before the trash can erupted into a familiar pink haired form.
"Oh it's the stalker girls," Duo said, falling into step with the ninjas. "Geee you guys can run…" Heero and Wufei both started running as well, remembering the escape from the hospital.
"How will we lose them? I think they can catch us," Heero said, just keeping up with the ninjas who were still running on the ground.
Sasuke frowned; Herro was right at this pace the banshees would catch up. "Baka, get Herro and Wufei….I have Duo." So saying the raven haired boy angled himself and scooped up Duo bridal style.
Naruto glanced back and seeing Sasuke scoop up Duo smirked, later he'd soooo use that…for now he put his hands together and said "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" causing just one other Naruto to poof into existence. Both blondes dropped back and each saying gomen lifted up one of the other boys leaving little room for argument from their cargo.
"Let's do thissss." One of the Naruto's said jumping up and climbing up the side of a building.
"Jesus, how do you people run so fast?" Duo cried, throwing his arms around Sasuke's neck and clinging for dear life. Heero just rolled his eyes and Wufei grumbled at being treated as a weakling, back home no one else could keep up with them, it was really crazy to think those two weird girls could easily out pace them. Then again, he was pretty sure the ninja could give a car a run for it's money at this breakneck pace.
"Practice." Sasuke said as the group raced over buildings launching themselves effortlessly from one building roof to another.
"SASUKE-KUNNNNNNNNNNNN!" was screeched behind them, a kunai embedding itself in the roof next to one of the Naruto's feet.
Said Naruto's eyes widened and he said "Kunai? KUNAIIIII?" ending on an almost panicked yell.
The other Naruto groaned and said "Fuckkkkk must be that time of the month or something….alright uhhh yeahhhh detoooooorrrrr." And turned sharply so the group was heading towards one of the training grounds. Sasuke and the other Naruto following hot on his heels.
"Waah are they trying to catch us or kill us?" Duo squeaked, watching the enraged girl over Sasuke's shoulder, he was having a bit of trouble with his hair whipping behind them in his line of sight. "Man I miss my braid!"
Sasuke hunned and said "keep your head down…" as a kunai wized by Duo's face only missing skimming his cheek because Sasuke shifted his weight at the last second...frowning as he felt the malice…though it didn't seem to be aimed at him…did they think hurting someone he was carrying was going to make him happy?
"Ah, she cut my hair!" Duo yelled, moving one hand to clutch at a shorter clump of hair. "M-my hair…." Duo whimpered, his eyes watering.
"Can I shoot her?" Heero asked, glaring death at the two screaming girls.
The first Naruto said "Alright guys keep it tight and high!" as they plunged into the tree tops.
Sauske actually thought about it for a second…a longggg second….but "Iie….we'll deal with her later…in a more…appropriate manner." He growled out, almost hating saying no…it was lovely hair…and more important it was important to Duo…he thought looking down…noticing the tears.
"Go ahead…" he growled out on second thought…after all they should be fine…maybe.
The Naruto's sweetdroped, hair….what was up with people and their hair?.. well whatever Sakura-chan was being rather moody this…year….
Heero whipped out his gun, unsure if the ninja could dodge bullets. One way to find out… he hoped the closeness to Naruto's ears wouldn't cause the ninja to drop him. He fired three shots, not aiming to kill but to hurt and slow the two crazies down.
As squeals were heard behind them the lead Naruto took a sharp turn, quickly followed by the others. After a while of running with no more signs of pursuers the group found themselves exiting the forest into a clearing with a coble stone path weaving around large wooden walls.
Setting their cargo down the Naruto's stretched before one poofed out of existence "Andddd here we are…the hot springs." Deciding it was best to just hope Sakura and Ino were okay…why did he still care about them anyway?...some days he felt like a dog, kick him over and over and he'll still come back wagging his tail…frowning at his own thoughts the blonde sighed.
Sasuke hunned still holding Duo…and said "So….where to now baka?"
Naruto shook his head and raised an eyebrow at Sasuke still holding onto Duo looked around and said in a whisper "Now we find the ladies…." Looking one way then the other he began walking further into the hot springs compound.
"I thought we were gonna' swim?" Duo asked, seemingly at home being carried. Heero meanwhile reloaded his gun.
"It's very un-honorable to peep Naruto-san," Wufei said, raising an eyebrow.
Naruto held up a finger to shush Duo and whispered "We aren't' the peepers we're catching him!" a small glint in his eyes.
