Payback Without You
"Kakashi-sensei I feel really bad about interrupting your sleep so late at night but I really think something is wrong with Sasuke-kun" at half four in the morning Sakura was stood at his front door.
"Couldn't it wait till morning? I had something going on back there…" He rubbed his head as he stood awkwardly in a vest and shorts.
"I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about what they where doing!"
"Well why don't you start over, what happened?"
"He hung up on me" pathetic tears started to form in her eyes.
"Doesn't he hang up on you, on a daily basis?"
"Yes but this time he said it was dark, and that I was ruining a crucial moment. He was with Naruto as well"
"No! You don't reckon they were!?" Kakashi sounded shocked
"Omg you think so too!"
"Tell me again, it was dark and they were alone and it was a crucial moment!"
"Yes!"
"Iruka! Where's my book!" He turned back into the apartment and called out.
"It's here, now shut the door and go to sleep it's only half four in the morning!" Iruka moaned.
"Phew!" The silver-haired jonin sighed
"What you thought they had your stupid book!"
"Sakura if you are going to insult the book you can leave right now. In fact leave it's too early in the morning for all this!"
"No this is serious!"
"Fine" Kakashi stepped outside the apartment and closed the door. "What are you planning on doing?"
"We should burst in there and catch them in the act"
"Why? That's so mean"
"…Because"
"I have a better idea, you go home and stay there for the next five hours and we'll all go out and see a movie later, just squad 7"
"That doesn't solve anything, it will provoke them more!"
"They're not that stupid and are you sure you're not just reading the signals wrong?"
"No I am not. I will just investigate by myself!" she twisted on her heels and stalked off with an undignified 'Hmph'
"Finally" Kakashi pushed the door which did not open.
"Oh damn it! Er...Iruka" When he closed the door he hadn't anticipated the lock to catch.
Kakashi banged loudly hoping to wake his current room mate. "Iruka!! Open the door!"

(Before the part where Naruto stumbles and rests on Sasuke)
The door handle rattled as Sakura, frustrated and desperately curious tried to open it. "Grr, they locked the door…they're trying to keep me out"
Naruto had been resting on Sasuke for minutes enjoying his company and cherishing each second. If the Uchiha hadn't been so intent on scaring Naruto in the dark to make him stay, sunlight or bright dawn would be streaking though the window which thick curtains obscured.
She kicked the door hard. A yell replaced the typical cracking sound of wood breaking. Sakura hopped about nursing a stubbed toe. (Good thing Sasuke reinforced his door with steel)
Kakashi poofed onto the wall lined with Uchiha symbols, not in his jonin uniform. "Oh Sakura you're here, I thought you went home"
"Kakashi-sensei, so you're curious as to what's going on inside too?"
"Not really, I wanted a place to stay considering you managed to lock me out of my own apartment. While I had time on my hands I thought I'd tell them about going to see a movie"
"Wasn't Iruka-sensei there?"
"He told me to sleep outside because he has school in the morning"
"Can you help me I can't get in?"
"Hmm…I left my book at home and I could do with some early morning p-adventure"
"What was that?"
"I said I could do with an early morning adventure, you know now that I'm awake"
Sakura shrugged and proceeded to look in a window. Kakashi joined her and pointed to the door and brought out a spare key.
"How do you have that?"
"Simple, Naruto has been loosing a lot of keys lately and the other day he dropped one on the way here. It had the Uchiha symbol on it so why not" The lock clicked and they went inside.
Considerate as he was Kakashi put the key in a pot on a table and followed Sakura through into the hall. She started whispering some instructions that he didn't catch. On arrival in the living room they noticed a duvet lying over an uneven surface in front of the TV.
Sakura recognized it as the duvet den and lifted it off before squealing in disbelief. Kakashi had gone and opened the window revealing the bright sun shine that had just risen.
Naruto's head was indeed on Sasuke's chest. Sasuke must have moved again because his arm was wrapped around the blonde. They began to arouse from the excess amount of light and the disruptive scream Sakura had blurted out.
"No five…more…minutes…" Naruto mumbled drooling a little.
"Dobe! Stop drooling on me and get off"
"Huh...what?" a blurred eye opened and fixed on the Uchihas glare before moving on to a pink smudge that bobbed about the room. He closed his eyes and then they shot open. He looked straight at Sasuke and without delay got off him "Ehehe must have been…sleep walking"
"Naruto! What were you doing to him!? Tell me now!" She had picked him off his feet and up to eye level. "I swear I did nothing!" all memories of the movie forgotten, instead a new fear of Sakura
"Sakura let him go" Sasuke arose and stood opposite her.
"Sure Sasuke-kun" she released Naruto and smiled adoringly at him.
He helped the dobe to his feet. "Thanks Sasuke"
"Did you just thank him with out adding an insult? And have you been living together without fighting all this time? Do my eyes deceive me are you guys working together?"
"It would appear so"
Kakashi's eye shaped into a semi circle and he jumped for joy. "I did it! The lesson I intended you to learn has been learnt" Everyone stared at him weirdly not detecting the sarcasm. "Yay it's over can we go back to sleep now" he replied with more sarcasm.
"…"
"What! I haven't had any breakfast or a cup of coffee yet!"
"I didn't know you drank coffee sensei"
"I don't, I'm saying I haven't woken up yet"
"Why is everyone standing in my living room at half four in the morning!?"
"It was Sakura's idea"
"… Thank you Kakashi-sensei"
"On to another matter as a treat for finally stopping your squabbling I want to take you guys to the movies"
"Really sensei? Can you treat me to ramen as well?"
"Yeah sure…coughI'mnotpayingcough"
"Did you say something?"
"Yes all the ramen and movie tickets you want coughI'mnotpayingcough"
"Actually Kakashi I think you will find that you are paying" Sasuke's Sharingan eyes flashed indicating the capture of every last syllable of Kakashi's lips moving under the mask.
"Really?"
"Unless you don't want this" Naruto interrupted holding up a picture of Kakashi drunk doing a drunken Tango with Iruka. Both were wearing pink frilly puppy shirts and tutus. Kakashi was dipping Iruka who looked unconscious and unaware of what was happening.
"Where did you get that!?"
"It fell out of your book that night in the tent" Sasuke smirked
"When was this taken sensei? And why does Iruka-sensei look unconscious?"
"Three words, Anko-sake-ouch, never get on Anko's bad side when she's sober but most certainly don't get on her bad side when she's drunk. Ask Iruka he learnt the hard way when he told her to stop drinking" Kakashi lunged for the photograph.
"No, no, no you can't have it until you meet our demands"
"What are you going to do with it!?"
"We figured that we'd enlarge it and post it round Konoha"
"Ok fine what do you want?!"
"All the ramen that I can eat" Naruto yelled enthusiastically.
"A new phone which you still owe me" Sasuke answered.
"Ooh I want some new clothes and more hair supplies ooh and more perfume Sasuke-kun will help you pick it and…" Kakashi's mouth hung agape under his mask. A new phone and an extremely large ramen order were just pushing his budget but he would never be able to compensate for Sakura.
"Sakura, you didn't help us steal the picture"
"Yeah so you don't get the prize"
"Naruto you were my favourite guy along with Sasuke-kun you know that right?"
"Whatever get your wallet ready sensei I feel really hungry right now!"
"But what about me I…"
"Sakura it is obvious it didn't snow and you were trying to get rid of me"
"How did you?"
"He's a dobe but he's not that stupid"
"…Sasuke-kun?"
"Kakashi, get moving the shops open at seven and it's already six"
"Why do we have to go now?"
"Ramen! The ramen shop opens early today!"
"Alright fine let's go…so glad I don't have to buy all those clothes. Sakura come-on I'll buy you one bowl"
"Really?"
"Yes, just bring your purse along too"

A\N: This is the longest fic I have done so far and the hits have been amazing over 1300. The reviews are awesome too!
Reviews are like pots of ramen, the more you review the happier Naruto gets and…hey Naruto! Stop eating my reviews!
"You said they were like pots of ramen!"
Ok fine reviews are not like pots of ramen however they help to prevent writer's block.
