Feedback: Any will be adored, printed out and drooled over. Flames will be used to fan the fires of my imagination to write more fics. What?! O_o I believe in using a person's weapon against them. *eg*
Author's Notes: Hi everyone! *cheerful wave* Here I have ready the more SasuNaru I promised.

"This stuff is so great," Sakura gushed all over the items on the display case.
Sasuke and Naruto exchanged confused looks. They didn't get it.
"Look," squealed Sakura, not noticing the boys' expressions. She pointed at some red heart shaped candles, "Aren't those so adorable?"
The boys' shrugged at each other. Finding colored wax cute, had to be a girl thing.
Naruto ignored Sakura's cooing over the stuff and wandered over to look at some of the sexy garments. He still wanted to use them to torment Sasuke but he couldn't think of how.
Little demon horns seemed to appear on his forehead as the perfect idea popped into his head. Now all he needed was the perfect little outfit. Naruto began his search immediately,
Sasuke gave the direction Naruto had disappeared to a worried glance as he heard the blond, cackling to himself. Mental alarms were going off in his head but before he could sneak away, since if Naruto couldn't find him then he couldn't make him do anything, a pair of orange clad arms clamped themselves around his waist.
The brunet silently glared at the blond. He struggled to suppress the urge to pummel Naruto into the ground. He hated it when people touched him without warning.
Sasuke didn't dare protest as Naruto dragged him away from Sakura. He had promised to obey the other boy for two entire days.
Naruto looked furtively around, checking to make sure that there was no one watching them and pulled Sasuke into a, specifically chose, private corner of the store.
"What do you want?" hissed Sasuke.
Naruto's blue eyes gleamed with joy, "For the bet: I want to you to learn my Sexy no Jutsu with the Sharingan."
Sasuke's eyes narrowed with suspicion. "Why?"
"Because," Naruto smirked, "I doubt you're scrawny body would look good in that-" The blond pointed at a black, silky garment hanging on a nearby hanger.
Sasuke's dark eyes nearly bulged out of his head in shock. That had to be the most risqué lingerie ensemble in the entire store! And considering the store, that was really saying something!
"No!" he blurted out. "Absolutely now way in hell!"
"Ahh, but you see," Naruto smile grew vulpine, "I don't believe you have a choice."
Sasuke grew quiet. He knew Naruto was right, yet he tried frantically to think of something that would let him escape the humiliation,. Only one idea came to mind and while he was loathe to try it, it could be his only way to escape. Sasuke growled, "Doesn't this count as making me do something perverted? I don't think Sakura would like it."
Naruto's blue eyes widened in horrified realization. The blond grabbed the front of Sasuke's dark blue shirt. He babbled, "You can't tell her! I forbid it! She can never ever hear about it from anyone one! Promise me!"
Sasuke gritted his teeth and gave Naruto a stiff nod of agreement.
"Good," sighed Naruto with relief. He stepped back and rubbed his hands in anticipation. He continued, "Now activate your creepy eyes and pay attention."
Sasuke glared at the blond for the insult before closing his eyes and focusing his chakra. Calling up the Sharingan got easier and easier every time he used it, but it still required a lot of his concentration to activate his eyes.
His control over his chakra wasn't as perfect as he would have wished and that imperfection affected his ability to swiftly call up the Sharingan.
When Sasuke reopened his eyes, they had changed into the advance bloodline skill of an Uchiha, the Sharingan.
Naruto shivered at the glare he received. Those red eyes were pretty freaky but cool too, and they weren't as bad as those white ones that Hinata Hyuga had, but definitely among the weirdest thing he'd ever seen.
The blond focused his chakra. Instantly, he was enveloped in a cloud of chakra smoke. When it began to clear a gorgeous nude blonde posed in the middle of the smoke and blew Sasuke a saucy wink and kiss.
Sasuke ignored it as he assimilated the information his Sharingan was providing about the jutsu, how it was put together and how to modify it to his own purposes. It was a jutsu similar to Henge no Jutsu, the transformation skill, but were that jutsu copied the look of another person this one used the features of the caster and transformed them into that of the opposite gender.
Well, that explained why Naruto looked so much like his female form, thought Sasuke absently, as he also looked at the chakra levels involved in the Sexy no Jutsu. It wasn't the hardest jutsu he had ever had to learn.
Naruto transformed back to himself and gave Sasuke a baffled look. The cold bastard hadn't even reacted with a blush to his powerful Sexy no Jutsu.
That was very strange, thought Naruto. The blond boy scratched his head, confused. Not even the Hokage had been able to resist it.
Then the blond boy glared at the brunet, no way did it mean that Sasuke was a superior ninja! No! He was the one who would be the next Hokage not that cold idiotic pretty boy!
His attention was brought back to Sasuke when he heard the whoosh of chakra smoke. Naruto eagerly looked at the other boy, wondering what he would look like as a girl.
When the brunette reappeared, Naruto's mouth dropped. If his own female form was beautiful then Sasuke's was drop dead gorgeous. And the thing that most disturbed the blond boy, was that he could see the features of Sasuke in those of the Sexy no Jutsu form.
Sasuke carefully adjusted his, well now her, clothes and checked on a nearby mirror to make sure that the Uchiha clan symbol normally on the back of her shirt was now gone. She didn't want anyone to connect her female form to the male him and that symbol was entirely too well known in the village as well at the knowledge that Sasuke was the only remaining member of the clan. Having the rumors of a new Uchiha show up out of nowhere would just cause more trouble than she wanted to deal with.
Sasuke growled at Naruto when she noticed the boy staring at her with such stunned amazement.
Naruto blinked and shut his mouth with a snap. "Ugh," he mumbled, trying to jumpstart his brain into action.
Sasuke just rolled her eyes and stalked up to the 'attire' that Naruto had pointed out. She didn't notice how Naruto's eyes widened at her unintentional sway of her hips. She glared at the black, silky material as if she could make it burst into flames with her gaze alone, and considering she was an Uchiha that could very well be possible.
She grabbed it, looked around, and headed straight for the fitting room. Sasuke didn't bother to check if Naruto was planning on following since she'd rather get this over with as soon as possible.
Naruto rubbed his blue eyes before following Sasuke. Part of him, that part that wasn't laughing like a maniac at what he was making Sasuke do, was being to regret it. He didn't expect to get such a jolt from seeing Sasuke as a girl. That was just too weird for him.
The blond boy shook his head free of such thoughts and followed behind his rival. All while trying to keep his eyes on the back of Sasuke's head and her long, flowing hair rather than 'her' backside.
It had shaken Sasuke's self-control a little when she saw the bored teenage girl managing the fitting room desk since she thought that maybe she would be able to get away without anyone seeing her. Until she reminded herself that her current form was no different than how she should act in Henge no Jutsu, the transformation skill. All she had to do was act the part. That was all.
With that firmly in mind she was able to walk with confidence and grace. She quietly set the lingerie before the girl who looked up from her magazine.
When the girl's eyes had widened Sasuke feared that she could somehow see through the Sexy no Jutsu and see her real self underneath. She very nearly bolted for the exit door.
"Oh, wow! You're so pretty!" blurted out the salesgirl. She touched her hand to her rosy cheek as she gazed a the lovely brunette standing before her.
Sasuke mentally groaned to herself. It seemed that even as a girl, she couldn't escape the unwanted attention from females.
What did she have to do to escape them?!
"Oooh!" the girl continued, "Now 'this' is a good choice." The teen gazed at the black garment in Sasuke's arms before returning to gaze, starry-eyed, at Sasuke. "I bet you'd look absolutely devastatingly gorgeous in that."
To Sasuke's mute, mixed relief and annoyance, Naruto chose that moment to wrap his arms around her waist.
"Yeah!" Naruto, grinned his trademark fox smile. "Isn't my girlfriend beautiful?!"
That salesgirl glared down at the blond boy with sheer disbelief warring with outrage on her face. "I don't believe it!" She looked, back and forth and back and forth from Naruto to Sasuke. "No way are you her boyfriend. She is not in you league, pipsqueak!"
Sasuke fought back a smile at Naruto's outraged expression. Her amusement lasted until the blond boy demanded, "Tell her I'm your boyfriend, Sasuke!"
The brunette could have strangled him for using her real, male name like that.
She gritted her teeth to keep from screaming at Naruto for being such an absolute idiot and nodded at the girl, affirming what Naruto had told her.
Instantly, the salesgirl looked horrified, before understanding filled her dark eyes. "Oh," she said, "I bet you're just taking care of him right? And that you just tell him to call you his girlfriend so he won't make a fuss about having to spend the entire day with you. I do the same thing when I have to baby-sit any boy."
Naruto twitched at the idea of being babysat and growled, "That's not it at all!"
"Well," growled the girl, right back at him. "You being her boyfriend doesn't make any sense whatsoever!"
Sasuke gave up on both of them and walked into the changing room. She didn't want to get in the middle of that argument and she'd rather get this thing over with so she could return to being herself. Before anyone else got involved in this mess.
"Hey!" Naruto shouted at Sasuke's back. "What for me!"
The salesgirl tried to stop the blond boy but Naruto was just too fast for her. He jumped over her head and headed for the changing room Sasuke had disappeared into.
The girl swore under her breath and went back to her magazine, while muttering dire threats to the blond boy. She still didn't believe he was the boyfriend of that gorgeous woman. Anyone who dated her had to be really extraordinary.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Sasuke glared at the mirror and the reflection inside it glared right back. To her mind's eye, her female self looked too soft to handle anything remotely related to ninja attacks.
It was all the curves, she thought with annoyance. It didn't show the muscle that she'd developed as a guy.
She turned away from the mirror to the even more unwelcome sight of the black, silky lingerie hanging on a convenient hook.
A furious knocking on the door made her muscles tense at the unexpected noise.
"Hurry up, Sasuke!" called Naruto. "I don't want Sakura to come looking for us for being away for so long!"
Sasuke didn't bother to answer him. With a grimace she started to take of her blue shirt.
Outside the door, Naruto was trying not to panic. He hadn't even remembered Sakura until Sasuke reminded him but now he was aware that the pink haired girl could pop out of any corner. And if she saw what he was having Sasuke do, then there was going to be a world of hurt in store for him.
But even with this danger he wasn't about to let Sasuke escape him so easily. He wanted to be able to remind Sasuke about this day for years to come and knowing how much he had embarrassed that cold bastard would make his day.
His Week. Year! No, decade! Yeah, definitely his decade!
"Sasuke," he whined. What could be taking so long? It wasn't like the lingerie was a multi-layered outfit or anything.
He was about to knock on the door again when it opened.
Naruto eyes widened.
Standing before him with her long hair flowing all around her, was Sasuke wearing a delicate see-through mesh, half robe. The mesh theme continued with a blend of silk and mesh for the bra, giving Naruto tantalizing glimpses of Sasuke's breasts. Fish-net covered her torso but for a small hole over her belly button. Absentmindedly, Naruto noted that Sasuke was an innie, as his eyes wandered down to the silky black panties.
Naruto could feel his nose throb. But he managed to control himself so that he didn't nosebleed.
He was fine until a small corner of his mind wondered to itself how Sasuke would look if he was wearing a similar see-through mesh outfit while male.
The mental image that accompanied the thought pushed his control over the edge.
Two crimson streams of blood gushed from his nose with such force that he slammed right into the wall behind him. Then Naruto slowly slid to the floor.
Unconscious.
Stunned, Sasuke stood there for a minute. Her cheeks grew bright red when she realized what Naruto had to be thinking to get such a strong reaction. Then she sighed and said, "Idiot." Before slamming the door close so that she could get out of this torture device.
She was faster in getting out of the lingerie than she was getting into it.
Now, dressed in what were normal clothes, Sasuke stepped out of the dressing room. She mentally debated whether or not to leave Naruto on there as revenge for making her wear that 'thing', before deciding that she could come up with something better later.
She slung the blond boy over her shoulder and walked out.
The sales girl gave her a beaming smile which made Sasuke flinch. It was a good thing that she had decided to remain in the female form for a little while longer. It would have made the sales girl wonder why two boys were coming out of the fitting room when a girl and a guy had gone in.
"Are you planning on buying it?" asked the girl, eagerly. The salesgirl grinned at the knocked out Naruto. She continued, "I can get it boxed and wrapped for you!"
"…." Sasuke considered. The chance of Naruto returning to buy the garment and to use it against her was too great of a possibility for him to take such a risk. She gave the girl a small nod.
The salesgirl cheerfully rung up the price and told the brunette. Sasuke pulled the money out of a pocket and gave it to her.
When the salesgirl handed her the bag containing her purchase, Sasuke barely contained a grimace at the vividly pink color of it before she just grabbed it and headed for the exit of the store. She didn't even bother to turn around with the salesgirl called after her, "I hope you came back soon!"
Sasuke just shuddered in terror.
Outside the store, Sasuke headed into the nearest alley to change back. The whoosh, and fading cloud of chakra smoke was the only visible sign of his location.
When he stepped out Sasuke headed for a nearby wooden bench. He carefully set Naruto's still unconscious boy on it. The brunet then put the pink bag into a nearby trash can.
He then stepped back and moved his hands into a series of quick seals, ending with the horse then the tiger seal.
"Goukakyuu no Jutsu!"
A powerful fireball hit the trash can. Everything in it erupted into a tall gush of orange flame.
Sasuke watched it burn with complete satisfaction. A grin curled up on his lips.
He was so wrapped up in watching the flames consume the evidence of his humiliation that he didn't notice the freaked out stares of pedestrians, or the slow way that they all backed away.
When the fire finally was nothing but ashes, Sasuke turned away and returned to Naruto. The blond boy was snoring away on the wooden bench, utterly obvious to the surrounding noise of the village.
Sasuke walked closer and stared down at his rival.
Hesitantly, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small handkerchief. He bent closer to the sleeping blond boy and gently wiped away the bloody mess on Naruto's face. Once he was satisfied that he had done the most he could do for him, Sasuke tucked the now reddish cotton material away.
His dark eyes gazed at Naruto, without the normal coldness associated with Sasuke. Involuntarily, his fingers caressed the scars that looked so much like whiskers, on Naruto's cheek.
His skin is so soft, and warm, Sasuke thought with quiet amazement.
The pad of his thumb drifted from the curve of Naruto's cheek to his pink, moist lips. His finger lingered over the perfection of those lips until the urge to bend down and kiss them grew bigger and more tempting. Sasuke was moving down almost before he realized it, until he was but a couple of inches from Naruto's slightly parted mouth.
That's when Naruto sighed in his sleep.
The sound broke Sasuke's entranced spell. The boy jerked back from the blond and looked desperately around to see if anyone had seen him nearly kissing Naruto.
The streets turned out to be strangely empty.
Sasuke blinked in surprise then relaxed in relief. He didn't mean for his self-control to break like that. He had nearly giving in to his desire for the other boy. That was a feeling that he never even liked to admit even to himself. But now he knew that he couldn't deny it anymore. If there was one thing that day on the bridge had proven to him was that Naruto was more important to him than anyone else.
His dark eyes flicked to Naruto. There was just something about Naruto that always affected him. Whether it was positive or negative emotions, the blond, more than anyone else always managed to get a reaction out of him. Even if he was doing nothing but sleeping and looking utterly adorable.
"Hey, Sasuke!"
Sasuke tensed at Sakura's call. He slowly turned to face her.
The pink hair girl was barely visible behind a mountain of plastic, and paper bags. A desperate green eye peeked through at Sasuke. Sakura continued, "Can you help me, please?"
Sasuke, with his stoic mask firmly in place, walked towards his teammate. "Why did you get so much stuff?" he asked gruffly, as grabbed half of the bags.
"Well, at first I was only going to get the stuff that we need for Iruka-sensei, but there was a sale on some stuff I wanted to get and since I rarely get the time to shop, I figured I could just get it now," blurted Sakura. Inner Sakura grew starry eyed and claimed Sasuke was her hero when Sasuke took away half the weight.
Sasuke didn't bother to answer her and walked back to Naruto.
"What happened to Naruto?" asked Sakura, curiously when she saw her blond teammate on the bench. As she got closer she noticed the blood slightly crusting the edges of his nose. She grimaced and said hastily, "Never mind. I don't want to know!"
Sasuke mentally sighed in relief. He asked, "Did you get everything that you need?" He really wanted to go home now.
"No. But I think we've done enough shopping for today. I'm out of money," Sakura admitted. "We can continue tomorrow. You guys will be doing the paying that time though. I don't want to be the only one pitching in."
"Fine," agreed Sasuke. He considered Naruto's sleeping body for a moment before deciding, "You're going to need to take back some of these bags. I can't carry Naruto and hold all of them."
Sakura joined Sasuke in looking at the blond. "Can't we just leave him there? It's not like anything will happen to him." She wasn't looking forward to taking everything all the way home. It was practically on the other side of the village. But she was looking forward to having Sasuke all to herself without Naruto being his annoying self and constantly pestering her.
Sasuke's eyes narrowed with mute anger. Leave Naruto, without so much as an explanation to what they had down, or where they had gone? Leave him alone and defenseless? Even in the Hidden Leaf Village, there was still an element of danger from it's inhabitants. It was a fairly large village, and like with any heavily populated area there were those dangerous to someone left as vulnerable as Naruto was at the moment.
"No!" he snapped.
Sakura jerked back. Her eyes grew dark with hurt before she sighed and nodded. Inner Sakura admitted that Sasuke was being a better teammate than her. What sort of ninja left a comrade alone without seeing to their safety? Kakashi-sensei would be severely disappointed in her.
"Ok," she agreed softly.
"Give me the things you bought for Iruka-sensei. I can take those and drop them off at Naruto's house." Sasuke voice was still cold. "We can meet tomorrow at his home."
Sakura didn't argue. She didn't want Sasuke getting angrier at her. She knew that her words were pretty callous. She didn't mean to sound selfish and uncaring. She just wanted to spend time alone with Sasuke.
The pink girl stared at the ground as Sasuke tried to figure the best way to balance the bags and Naruto. She mentally promised to 'think' about the things she said about Naruto before she said them. She kept opening her mouth and inserting her foot whenever she talked to Sasuke about him. It couldn't be raising his opinion of her, she thought.
Finally, Sasuke had Naruto back over his shoulder using that arm to hold the boy in place while his free hand held the stuff that Sakura had picked out. He was glad that he had bothered to learn how to focus chakra onto your arms to increase your strength otherwise he would never have been able to do this.
Before he turned away to leave, Sakura grabbed his arm. She asked hesitantly, "If Naruto wakes up, can you tell him that I want to talk to him tomorrow?"
Sasuke nodded briskly. He then jumped up to the roofs to head for Naruto's house.
Sakura gave all her stuff a despairing look. She wailed, "How am I suppose to get everything home?"

JD here! [a/n]: Ooh, Naruto that was a mean, and rather hentai thing to do to Sasuke. *evil grin* Do it again!
O_o That salesgirl is a tad obsessed. ^.^;; But what she said to Naruto was kind of funny.
*sheepish grin* I know that I'm making Naruto be unconscious for a rather long time from just a nosebleed but he did hit that wall pretty hard….yup…that's my reason…. *realizes nobody is buying it* ^^;;
Burn! Bwahahahaha! Burn object of Sasuke's humiliation!!! Burn! *cackles like the pyromaniac she is* Whoa….Sasuke…you sure scared a lot of people with that fireball jutsu….*grins*
Aww, isn't Sasuke cute when he's acting all sweet to Naruto? Too bad he's out cold.
*hits herself on the face* Oh, Sakura, you can be such an idiot. Be happy that I like you enough not to put you out of everyone's misery. Well, that and the fact that you are essential to the plot.
*beams at everyone* Ooooh, Sasuke is going to take Naruto home! *giggles* The next SasuNaru scene that gets written should be veerrrrryyyy interesting! But it's not likely to be in the next chapter so don't get your hopes up everyone. *looks stern* Kakashi still has to deal with Shashin, after all.
Hopefully, nobody got too confused with me using the female pronoun for Sasuke when he was in the Sexy no Jutsu form. ^.^
And finally I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter! And if you did you have to review! Otherwise how will I ever know?
*blinks* Urmm… I should probably go write the next chapter…
Review! Review!
Disclaimer: I don't really feel like saying it right now. Get back to me in a few hundred years. *unhappy sigh* All screw-ups are still mine, though. *pout*
Warning: more lingerie, a fem-Sasuke, fireballs and caresses! And yup, still with the fluffy

When the girl's eyes had widened Sasuke feared that she could somehow see through the Sexy no Jutsu and see her real self underneath. She very nearly bolted for the exit door.
"Oh, wow! You're so pretty!" blurted out the salesgirl. She touched her hand to her rosy cheek as she gazed a the lovely brunette standing before her.
Sasuke mentally groaned to herself. It seemed that even as a girl, she couldn't escape the unwanted attention from females.
What did she have to do to escape them?!
"Oooh!" the girl continued, "Now 'this' is a good choice." The teen gazed at the black garment in Sasuke's arms before returning to gaze, starry-eyed, at Sasuke. "I bet you'd look absolutely devastatingly gorgeous in that."
To Sasuke's mute, mixed relief and annoyance, Naruto chose that moment to wrap his arms around her waist.
"Yeah!" Naruto, grinned his trademark fox smile. "Isn't my girlfriend beautiful?!"
That salesgirl glared down at the blond boy with sheer disbelief warring with outrage on her face. "I don't believe it!" She looked, back and forth and back and forth from Naruto to Sasuke. "No way are you her boyfriend. She is not in you league, pipsqueak!"
Sasuke fought back a smile at Naruto's outraged expression. Her amusement lasted until the blond boy demanded, "Tell her I'm your boyfriend, Sasuke!"
The brunette could have strangled him for using her real, male name like that.
She gritted her teeth to keep from screaming at Naruto for being such an absolute idiot and nodded at the girl, affirming what Naruto had told her.
Instantly, the salesgirl looked horrified, before understanding filled her dark eyes. "Oh," she said, "I bet you're just taking care of him right? And that you just tell him to call you his girlfriend so he won't make a fuss about having to spend the entire day with you. I do the same thing when I have to baby-sit any boy."
Naruto twitched at the idea of being babysat and growled, "That's not it at all!"
"Well," growled the girl, right back at him. "You being her boyfriend doesn't make any sense whatsoever!"
Sasuke gave up on both of them and walked into the changing room. She didn't want to get in the middle of that argument and she'd rather get this thing over with so she could return to being herself. Before anyone else got involved in this mess.
"Hey!" Naruto shouted at Sasuke's back. "What for me!"
The salesgirl tried to stop the blond boy but Naruto was just too fast for her. He jumped over her head and headed for the changing room Sasuke had disappeared into.
The girl swore under her breath and went back to her magazine, while muttering dire threats to the blond boy. She still didn't believe he was the boyfriend of that gorgeous woman. Anyone who dated her had to be really extraordinary.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Sasuke glared at the mirror and the reflection inside it glared right back. To her mind's eye, her female self looked too soft to handle anything remotely related to ninja attacks.
It was all the curves, she thought with annoyance. It didn't show the muscle that she'd developed as a guy.
She turned away from the mirror to the even more unwelcome sight of the black, silky lingerie hanging on a convenient hook.
A furious knocking on the door made her muscles tense at the unexpected noise.
"Hurry up, Sasuke!" called Naruto. "I don't want Sakura to come looking for us for being away for so long!"
Sasuke didn't bother to answer him. With a grimace she started to take of her blue shirt.
Outside the door, Naruto was trying not to panic. He hadn't even remembered Sakura until Sasuke reminded him but now he was aware that the pink haired girl could pop out of any corner. And if she saw what he was having Sasuke do, then there was going to be a world of hurt in store for him.
But even with this danger he wasn't about to let Sasuke escape him so easily. He wanted to be able to remind Sasuke about this day for years to come and knowing how much he had embarrassed that cold bastard would make his day.
His Week. Year! No, decade! Yeah, definitely his decade!
"Sasuke," he whined. What could be taking so long? It wasn't like the lingerie was a multi-layered outfit or anything.
He was about to knock on the door again when it opened.
Naruto eyes widened.
Standing before him with her long hair flowing all around her, was Sasuke wearing a delicate see-through mesh, half robe. The mesh theme continued with a blend of silk and mesh for the bra, giving Naruto tantalizing glimpses of Sasuke's breasts. Fish-net covered her torso but for a small hole over her belly button. Absentmindedly, Naruto noted that Sasuke was an innie, as his eyes wandered down to the silky black panties.
Naruto could feel his nose throb. But he managed to control himself so that he didn't nosebleed.
He was fine until a small corner of his mind wondered to itself how Sasuke would look if he was wearing a similar see-through mesh outfit while male.
The mental image that accompanied the thought pushed his control over the edge.
Two crimson streams of blood gushed from his nose with such force that he slammed right into the wall behind him. Then Naruto slowly slid to the floor.
Unconscious.
Stunned, Sasuke stood there for a minute. Her cheeks grew bright red when she realized what Naruto had to be thinking to get such a strong reaction. Then she sighed and said, "Idiot." Before slamming the door close so that she could get out of this torture device.
She was faster in getting out of the lingerie than she was getting into it.
Now, dressed in what were normal clothes, Sasuke stepped out of the dressing room. She mentally debated whether or not to leave Naruto on there as revenge for making her wear that 'thing', before deciding that she could come up with something better later.
She slung the blond boy over her shoulder and walked out.
The sales girl gave her a beaming smile which made Sasuke flinch. It was a good thing that she had decided to remain in the female form for a little while longer. It would have made the sales girl wonder why two boys were coming out of the fitting room when a girl and a guy had gone in.
"Are you planning on buying it?" asked the girl, eagerly. The salesgirl grinned at the knocked out Naruto. She continued, "I can get it boxed and wrapped for you!"
"…." Sasuke considered. The chance of Naruto returning to buy the garment and to use it against her was too great of a possibility for him to take such a risk. She gave the girl a small nod.
The salesgirl cheerfully rung up the price and told the brunette. Sasuke pulled the money out of a pocket and gave it to her.
When the salesgirl handed her the bag containing her purchase, Sasuke barely contained a grimace at the vividly pink color of it before she just grabbed it and headed for the exit of the store. She didn't even bother to turn around with the salesgirl called after her, "I hope you came back soon!"
Sasuke just shuddered in terror.
Outside the store, Sasuke headed into the nearest alley to change back. The whoosh, and fading cloud of chakra smoke was the only visible sign of his location.
When he stepped out Sasuke headed for a nearby wooden bench. He carefully set Naruto's still unconscious boy on it. The brunet then put the pink bag into a nearby trash can.
He then stepped back and moved his hands into a series of quick seals, ending with the horse then the tiger seal.
"Goukakyuu no Jutsu!"
A powerful fireball hit the trash can. Everything in it erupted into a tall gush of orange flame.
Sasuke watched it burn with complete satisfaction. A grin curled up on his lips.
He was so wrapped up in watching the flames consume the evidence of his humiliation that he didn't notice the freaked out stares of pedestrians, or the slow way that they all backed away.
When the fire finally was nothing but ashes, Sasuke turned away and returned to Naruto. The blond boy was snoring away on the wooden bench, utterly obvious to the surrounding noise of the village.
Sasuke walked closer and stared down at his rival.
Hesitantly, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small handkerchief. He bent closer to the sleeping blond boy and gently wiped away the bloody mess on Naruto's face. Once he was satisfied that he had done the most he could do for him, Sasuke tucked the now reddish cotton material away.
His dark eyes gazed at Naruto, without the normal coldness associated with Sasuke. Involuntarily, his fingers caressed the scars that looked so much like whiskers, on Naruto's cheek.
His skin is so soft, and warm, Sasuke thought with quiet amazement.
The pad of his thumb drifted from the curve of Naruto's cheek to his pink, moist lips. His finger lingered over the perfection of those lips until the urge to bend down and kiss them grew bigger and more tempting. Sasuke was moving down almost before he realized it, until he was but a couple of inches from Naruto's slightly parted mouth.
That's when Naruto sighed in his sleep.
The sound broke Sasuke's entranced spell. The boy jerked back from the blond and looked desperately around to see if anyone had seen him nearly kissing Naruto.
The streets turned out to be strangely empty.
Sasuke blinked in surprise then relaxed in relief. He didn't mean for his self-control to break like that. He had nearly giving in to his desire for the other boy. That was a feeling that he never even liked to admit even to himself. But now he knew that he couldn't deny it anymore. If there was one thing that day on the bridge had proven to him was that Naruto was more important to him than anyone else.
His dark eyes flicked to Naruto. There was just something about Naruto that always affected him. Whether it was positive or negative emotions, the blond, more than anyone else always managed to get a reaction out of him. Even if he was doing nothing but sleeping and looking utterly adorable.
"Hey, Sasuke!"
Sasuke tensed at Sakura's call. He slowly turned to face her.
The pink hair girl was barely visible behind a mountain of plastic, and paper bags. A desperate green eye peeked through at Sasuke. Sakura continued, "Can you help me, please?"
Sasuke, with his stoic mask firmly in place, walked towards his teammate. "Why did you get so much stuff?" he asked gruffly, as grabbed half of the bags.
"Well, at first I was only going to get the stuff that we need for Iruka-sensei, but there was a sale on some stuff I wanted to get and since I rarely get the time to shop, I figured I could just get it now," blurted Sakura. Inner Sakura grew starry eyed and claimed Sasuke was her hero when Sasuke took away half the weight.
Sasuke didn't bother to answer her and walked back to Naruto.
"What happened to Naruto?" asked Sakura, curiously when she saw her blond teammate on the bench. As she got closer she noticed the blood slightly crusting the edges of his nose. She grimaced and said hastily, "Never mind. I don't want to know!"
Sasuke mentally sighed in relief. He asked, "Did you get everything that you need?" He really wanted to go home now.
"No. But I think we've done enough shopping for today. I'm out of money," Sakura admitted. "We can continue tomorrow. You guys will be doing the paying that time though. I don't want to be the only one pitching in."
"Fine," agreed Sasuke. He considered Naruto's sleeping body for a moment before deciding, "You're going to need to take back some of these bags. I can't carry Naruto and hold all of them."
Sakura joined Sasuke in looking at the blond. "Can't we just leave him there? It's not like anything will happen to him." She wasn't looking forward to taking everything all the way home. It was practically on the other side of the village. But she was looking forward to having Sasuke all to herself without Naruto being his annoying self and constantly pestering her.
Sasuke's eyes narrowed with mute anger. Leave Naruto, without so much as an explanation to what they had down, or where they had gone? Leave him alone and defenseless? Even in the Hidden Leaf Village, there was still an element of danger from it's inhabitants. It was a fairly large village, and like with any heavily populated area there were those dangerous to someone left as vulnerable as Naruto was at the moment.
"No!" he snapped.
Sakura jerked back. Her eyes grew dark with hurt before she sighed and nodded. Inner Sakura admitted that Sasuke was being a better teammate than her. What sort of ninja left a comrade alone without seeing to their safety? Kakashi-sensei would be severely disappointed in her.
"Ok," she agreed softly.
"Give me the things you bought for Iruka-sensei. I can take those and drop them off at Naruto's house." Sasuke voice was still cold. "We can meet tomorrow at his home."
Sakura didn't argue. She didn't want Sasuke getting angrier at her. She knew that her words were pretty callous. She didn't mean to sound selfish and uncaring. She just wanted to spend time alone with Sasuke.
The pink girl stared at the ground as Sasuke tried to figure the best way to balance the bags and Naruto. She mentally promised to 'think' about the things she said about Naruto before she said them. She kept opening her mouth and inserting her foot whenever she talked to Sasuke about him. It couldn't be raising his opinion of her, she thought.
Finally, Sasuke had Naruto back over his shoulder using that arm to hold the boy in place while his free hand held the stuff that Sakura had picked out. He was glad that he had bothered to learn how to focus chakra onto your arms to increase your strength otherwise he would never have been able to do this.
Before he turned away to leave, Sakura grabbed his arm. She asked hesitantly, "If Naruto wakes up, can you tell him that I want to talk to him tomorrow?"
Sasuke nodded briskly. He then jumped up to the roofs to head for Naruto's house.
Sakura gave all her stuff a despairing look. She wailed, "How am I suppose to get everything home?"

JD here! [a/n]: Ooh, Naruto that was a mean, and rather hentai thing to do to Sasuke. *evil grin* Do it again!
O_o That salesgirl is a tad obsessed. ^.^;; But what she said to Naruto was kind of funny.
*sheepish grin* I know that I'm making Naruto be unconscious for a rather long time from just a nosebleed but he did hit that wall pretty hard….yup…that's my reason…. *realizes nobody is buying it* ^^;;
Burn! Bwahahahaha! Burn object of Sasuke's humiliation!!! Burn! *cackles like the pyromaniac she is* Whoa….Sasuke…you sure scared a lot of people with that fireball jutsu….*grins*
Aww, isn't Sasuke cute when he's acting all sweet to Naruto? Too bad he's out cold.
*hits herself on the face* Oh, Sakura, you can be such an idiot. Be happy that I like you enough not to put you out of everyone's misery. Well, that and the fact that you are essential to the plot.
*beams at everyone* Ooooh, Sasuke is going to take Naruto home! *giggles* The next SasuNaru scene that gets written should be veerrrrryyyy interesting! But it's not likely to be in the next chapter so don't get your hopes up everyone. *looks stern* Kakashi still has to deal with Shashin, after all.
Hopefully, nobody got too confused with me using the female pronoun for Sasuke when he was in the Sexy no Jutsu form. ^.^
And finally I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter! And if you did you have to review! Otherwise how will I ever know?
*blinks* Urmm… I should probably go write the next chapter…
Review! Review!
