Oh, yes…evilness. Here it is

Chapter 10: Co-ed?

The sign that Tenten had reacted so strongly to was a pretty white sign, with nice, printed kanji that read "Co-ed Onsen" Naruto had been here before. How is it that he didn't notice? He didn't notice that Hinata had a MAJOR crush on him. Enough said. Jiraiya chuckled with glee. Tenten continued to blink and stare at the sign, hoping it would change. Neji had three non-byakugan veins. That was a new record. Thankfully, there were two separate springs, only, no wall in-between. "So…" said Tenten." It's either bathe with two friends who are male and one legendary pervert, or bath with a bunch of random perverts." When you put it like that, one has little option. Neji huffed silently. "How about" He began. "I'll go with you into the one with random perverts, for protection, because I trust them more than Jiraiya." Jiraiya frowned and mumbled something about "taking away his fun." The pools were close to each other, so if they all turned around to face the rim, they could talk at a comfortable distance. So, that's what they did. Thank Kami-sama there was enough steam to provide Tenten with ample "prying eyes defense", or so she called it. She let out a contented "hmmmm" and sunk into the water, inhaling the steam a bit. She would occasionally partake in the conversation between her teammates, but otherwise would just enjoy the water. And the "view", if you catch my drift! (Ooooooh! She's checking Neji out!) Soon the conversation drifted to Jiraiya's bad case of writer's block. Neji growled inwardly. He knew what Jiraiya was getting at, and subconsciously moved closer to Tenten. She blinked a bit in confusion. Jiraiya continued. "So, this is what you could call a mission request! I need inspiration from your team! I'm not finding it here at this moment, there's a Sumo tournament in town." He shuddered." So, anything you could do?" His eyes slowly dragged themselves over to Tenten, but Naruto was on it. "Harem no jutsu!" Several female, naked, and attractive Naruto's appeared in the water and began fawning over Jiraiya, who was almost about to forget his purpose! Jiraiya cleared his throat. "That's old hat. I need something, new, fresh, brunette, and skilled with weapons!" Tenten looked up in shock. She tried to say "Me?" but no sound came out except for a barely audible squeak. She defensively sunk lower in the water, trying to cover her body. Neji growled, this time audibly.

"Are you sure this is part of our mission?" asked Naruto. Jiraiya nodded stoically. Neji started up, but Tenten interrupted him.

" What would said 'mission' entail?" There was danger in her voice.

"I'm glad you asked…" Said Jiraiya sneakily. Naruto gulped. She had no idea of the things Jiraiya would have her do. No idea! He slipped over to a severely pissed off Neji.

"Neji," He whispered. "We have to save Tenten! I have an idea of the things he would do!" This only made Neji more pissed, but Naruto continued on with a plan, and soon, the PMSed Hyuuga began to listen. They nodded in silent agreement, and turned around to see a horrified Tenten and Jiraiya smiling gleefully.

"You want me to…wait, that's not the main problem, with NEJI? OMG, you are a sick bastard! Sick! Sick!" Jiriaya smiled as if to say, "I know" and then leaned back into the water, satisfied. "It's a mission." He reminded them. Neji approached her curiously, watching as she clung to her soaking towel in fear. "I heard that I got roped into this…what does he want us to do?" Tenten whispered furiously in his ear. Neji's face paled considerably. Naruto only chuckled. Tenten whispered something else into his ear. Naruto jumped back.

"ME TOO?! NOOOOOOOOO!"

"Good work involving Jiraiya in this, Kakashi. I hope he doesn't make them do something TOO perverted." Kakashi shrugged. "They aren't under aged or anything, I don't see what the big deal is." Tsunade grunted in amusement, and whispered into Kakashi's ear." My, my…He's more perverted than I thought." Marveled Kakashi. Tsunade nodded.

They walked back to Jiraiya's room with broken spirits. "Whatever happens, let us forget this whole ordeal." They all shook hands. Jiriaya opened the door to his room. A mat was centered in the middle, and a desk with writing supplies was placed before it. The Chuunin team gulped in unison.

They walked out, hours later, disheveled and disturbed. "Let us never, EVER, speak of this mission again!" They felt awkward shaking hands, thanks to Jiraiya. They slowly walked back to their rooms, avoiding eye contact with everyone. After a nap and a shower for all, they had gotten somewhat over it, and were otherwise back to normal. "Hey one question." Said Naruto. Neji and Tenten looked over at him from the couch in their room. "What was the duct tape and bubble wrap for? And the live duck?" Neji gulped and whispered something in Naruto's ear. He sat back down on the couch, nodding. Naruto sunk into the chair, somewhat paler, but thankful they escaped that fate. "I'm glad he didn't make us go all the way, though. I'm still disturbed anyways…" Tenten said from her spot on the couch. They agreed that hey would go home tomorrow, and to be safe, made a second pact to never speak of this incident.

They next day, around noon, they strolled in through the gates of Konoha. They had altered their pact a bit, so that they could mention the incident, but not go into details.

"Oi, Naruto, what happened? Did you get to bathe?" Naruto nodded happily as Neji and Tenten walked on.

"But," said Naruto, "we had to help Jiraiya get inspiration."

"So you all used the Orioke no Jutsu, then?" Shikamaru inquired. Naruto shook his head, a serious expression on his face. " Not even close." Chouji gulped, thrusting his hand inside his chips bag for another mouthful.

"We didn't use any jutsu that had to deal with appearances. Just ourselves. All of us agreed not to go into details. If you read the next edition of Icha icha paradise, you'll know." Shikamaru, Chouji, Shino, and Kiba stood dumbfounded, shocked and a little horny.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Somehow, I just can't imagine Shino a little horny. It just doesn't work. I just had to put that in!

See you again at chapter eleven! It shall deal with their friends asking about the mission! Will they finally get fed up and spill the beans? Will they really keep their promise? Will there be more Nejiten fluff? You betchure sweet bippy!
