A/N: Alright, this chapter is dedicated to Fast Forward. Mostly because she's an awesome author and in the same boat as I am with our stories; which led me to update this fic, and not my other one. Here's chapter ten!

Chapter 10: Green
Naruto yawned and stretched, burrowing more into the warm and comfy pillow. Swinging an arm over the pillow, he hugged it closer to his body. Wait…since when did pillows breathe?
Immediately awake, his eyes snapped open and landed on a smirking Sasuke, and all at once last night washed over him. Relaxing, Naruto grinned at the raven and burrowed his face in the crook of his neck.
The two new lovers laid like that for a few more minutes, but both groaned when someone started knocking on the door. "Be right back," Naruto muttered, sliding out of bed, tripping over Sasuke's boxers, and stumbled out of the room to the front door.
His mood soured at the door opened to reveal a smiling Sai. "Sai…do you remember nothing of what I told you in yesterday?" The ninja was silent for a few moments and stared at Naruto, which caused the blond to look down. He was still naked.
Naruto flushed lightly and growled, ducking behind the door and sticking his head out. "What?"
Sai just smiled, obviously enjoying himself. "Of course I remember; I'll lay off. I just came here to invite you to come with us to Yakiniku Q this afternoon."
"Us?" another voice joined, and Sai's face darkened at the appearance of the Uchiha. Luckily he remembered to put something on. But it still didn't take a genius to figure out what happened between the two last night.
Slapping his fake smile on again, he nodded. "Yes. Ino, Sakura, Shikamaru, Lee, Neji, Kiba, Chouji, Tenten, Hinata, Shino, and Kakashi-sensei."
Sasuke glowered and shook his head, but Naruto wanted to go. There was a problem, though. "Chouji's coming? Who's paying?"
His lover rolled his eyes, while Sai blinked. "We all split it."
"Sure…I guess." Sasuke nodded, showing he would go, and Sai just glared at him while Naruto wasn't watching.
Turning back to Naruto, Sai smiled. "Okay, then." He turned to leave but stopped, turning to face Naruto once more. "We're friends?"
The blond shifted, still a little uneasy and not fully trusting Sai yet. "Uh…whatever," he muttered, sounding so unlike himself that Sai thought Sasuke was the one that said that at first. Naruto closed the door and sighed.
"We should get ready, I guess," Naruto said, leaning against the door and running a hand through his hair. Sasuke just smirked, instantly causing a shiver to run down Naruto, and put two hands on each side of his blond, trapping him.
"We have a few hours."

All fourteen ninja sat around the large table, waiting for their orders to arrive while Kakashi just read his perverted novel. "Glad to see you're okay, Naruto," Sakura smiled gently, which caused Naruto to grin happily, which caused Sasuke to glower at the pink-haired girl.
"Thanks, Sakura," Naruto said, taking a sip of his water.
"I think he's still a little injured," Kiba snickered playfully, nudging the blond's side. "He's limping pretty damn bad." That remark caused Sasuke to smirk, but caused Naruto to turn red and choke on his water, spitting it out of his mouth and on Sasuke. The smirk immediately fell from his lips as he wiped the water off, rolling his eyes.
No one noticed, used to his weird antics, except Sai, who had a scary murderous look on his face. Lee jumped across the table towards Naruto to wrap his arms around the poor blond, knocking some glasses of water over in the process.
"Our brave Naruto-kun!" Lee gushed, starting to cry. Sasuke's hand twitched towards the green-clad boy's throat. "He is still hurt, but he remains to be brave and strong in his height of youth!"
It took everyone, excluding Kakashi, to finally pry Lee off Naruto, letting the vessel breathe again. Sasuke smirked when everything settled down again. "I don't think he minds the pain so much. He's more focused on other things." Naruto turned red again but thankfully wasn't drinking anything, and Sai glowered again. The others were just confused, excluding once again Kakashi, who just didn't care.

Everyone ended up having to flee Yakiniku Q before their food arrived. Kakashi ended up finishing his book, and found it amusing to switch his sake with Lee's water. Lee got drunk after two sips, and they more or less got kicked out for a while.
They all parted ways, and Sai watched as Naruto went to buy some ramen while Sasuke wandered around Konoha. Concealing his chakra, Sai followed the Uchiha from the rooftops, a plan forming in his head.
Jumping down from the roof, he hid behind a house Sasuke was walking towards, quickly making a hand seal. He was surrounded in smoke, and it cleared away to reveal Naruto. Smirking, he made another quick hand seal and a clone appeared, and Sai immediately turned back to himself.
Still smirking slightly, Sai ran a hand through the Naruto clone's hair, the other sliding down his back to rest on his ass. Getting the hint, the clone obeyed and ran his hand through Sai's hair, the other up the front of his shirt.
Not waiting any longer, Sai crushed their bodies together, mouth on mouth. The clone's mouth instantly opened, Sai's tongue slipping inside and moaned quietly, forgetting it was just a clone.
His little dream was stopped by an intense pain at the back of a head. He looked behind him to see a very pissed off Sasuke, who snarled, "What the fuck is this?" at them both.
Sai smiled innocently and blinked. "He didn't tell you? He actually said he loved me in the hospital room last night." Sasuke shoved Sai forward roughly, who was caught by Naruto.
"Sasuke-" the clone attempted, knowing what to do. But Sasuke whirled on the blond in a rage, his hands clenching into shaking fists.
"Don't even bother. Don't bother looking at me again, much less talking to me. I hate you; stay out of my life from now on. I'm getting the fuck out of your nasty house." With that, the raging Uchiha stormed off, leaving the clone to disappear and Sai to smirk in his victory.

Yes. Hi. You just finished the shortest chapter in history. And I'm sorry, but I'm still tired from school, but I just had to give my readers at least a little chapter before I left for the night. It's been too long. R/R
