"Really, is this necessary?" Mitzy asked, exasperated. She was sitting on the floor of Naruto's apartment, leaning against the side of the bed. Naruto sat directly behind her, pulling clumps of her hair around.

"Of course! You don't know how annoying ticks can be," he reassured her.

"We were only in the forest for like, ten minutes!" Mitzy complained. Naruto gave a tug.

"Yeah, but you have your hair practically wrapped around that thorn bush. I'm just making sure you don't get so much blood sucked out of you that you have a heart attack and die!"

Mitzy rolled her eyes. "Okay, if you're sure…"

Naruto was greatly enjoying running his fingers through Mitzy's hair. She had hardly ever let him touch her unnecessarily, so he pounced on this chance. Of course, her hair was so silky he seriously doubted any type of bug could get a hold on this stuff.

"Aren't you almost done?" Mitzy complained again.

"Hey, don't blame me. You've got thick hair."

Naruto messed around for a few more minutes, wasting time. He wasn't even looking at her head. Finally, he reluctantly switched spots with Mitzy, telling her to look hard.

"Jeez, you ever heard of a comb?! There are tangles everywhere!" Mitzy exclaimed, counting four calyces.

Naruto didn't answer. He savored the feeling of her fingers on his scalp; a tingly feeling ran down his spine every time she moved her hand. Mitzy sifted through his hair carefully. Naruto sighed in content as she moved the warmth of her fingers from one place to another. Mitzy removed his headband, making his forehead feel very naked. But Naruto didn't care; he was in heaven!

"Hey! Wake up!" Mitzy slapped the side of his head gently. "You're clean!"

Naruto stood and tied his forehead protector back on. He stretched.

"Man, I'm exhausted," he said. Mitzy laughed.

"What, no ramen?" she asked. Naruto immediately felt energized.

"Come on, let's go!" he recklessly grabbed her by the hand and ran out of the apartment.

Mitzy pulled her hand away.

"Race you!" she called out, and flew around the corner and out of sight.
