…thanks…-chapter 12
…five days later…
Naruto woke up in a destroyed clearing. He had had minimal progress that is until he had had an idea…after that he'd improved in leaps and bounds. The other boys had helped…even Sasuke much to Naruto's confusion…and there was that one day that he had woken up to find that not only had Duo climbed into bed with Sasuke, again…seriously it had gotten to the point where the raven haired boy half expected to find the other there beside him when he woke up, but he himself had apparently climbed into the bed and slept sprawled on top of the pair…yeah he still had no idea how he'd wound up there…but he had a sneaking suspicion that Kurama might have something to do with that.
Sitting up Naruto sighed and looked around him, he must have passed out here last night…again…sighing he leaned his head on his hand…ah well he couldn't just give up and stop, he had to push himself even more! So thinking the blonde climbed to his feet and began to train once more.
Duo smiled, slipping into the clearing. "Ne Naru I've got a present for you," Duo called happily, waving to Naruto. Approaching him Duo set his hand on his shoulder, closing his eyes and concentrating. He glowed and sent some of his chakra into the blonde's body. "Tou-san showed me how to do this, he said my energy would boast your chakra levels."
"Oh? AWSOMEEEEEE!" Naruto exclaimed feeling Duo's chakra refill his own much depleted supply. Smiling at the other boy the blonde laughed and said "I've just about figured this out!"
Sasuke rolled his eyes as he entered the clearing and with a sigh said "Ne, think you've destroyed enough? Cause I think there are some untouched trees over that way." Waving in a random direction.
Naruto pouted and stuck his tongue out at the other boy saying "Whatever teme, at least I haven't woken up drooling on Duo!"
Sasuke flushed scarlet and said "That was one time baka! And it was your fault!"
"Oh really? How am I at fault for you clinging to Duo?" the blonde teased.
Duo laughed, sitting down a little harder than he'd meant to. "Whew, that took it out of me, guess I get to take a break and watch Naru practice," Duo said, rubbing his shoulders and stretching. He reached up and tugged on Sasuke. "C'mon Sassy, let's cheer him on."
Sasuke, still blushing, let Duo pull him down and sat down…although he had no plans to actually…cheer for anyone.
Naruto stuck his tongue out again at the raven haired boy before creating several shadow clones and beginning to train once more.
Duo leaned on Sasuke, and try as he might to watch and cheer Naruto he was out after only ten minutes.
Sasuke frowned as Duo seemed to pass out on him…the brunette seemed to have made a habit of doing that…ah well…not like the Uchiha minded…Jiraiya had made it a point to keep the raven haired boy's activities monitored…that is to say he and Duo hadn't had any more chances for…'alone time'…and Sasuke wasn't that happy about it…much to his humiliation….he missed those damn shoulders!
Naruto ignored the pair and continued training, that is until an explosion rang out from the city. The blonde's eyes widened as he whipped his head around to face Duo and Sasuke saying "Oi any idea what that was?"
Duo jerked awake, his soldier training kicking in as he jumped up, scanning the sky for smoke.
Sasuke frowned and said "Iie…lets go check back with the others…"
"Good idea," Duo said, looking toward the city. He jumped to the trees having finally mastered the ninja way of getting places. The first few jumps were a bit unsteady but he pushed on, concern for Jiraiya and the other pilots giving him the shot of adrenaline he needed.
Sasuke and Naruto rushed after Duo landing at the hotel they were staying at the group rushed forward "Oi ojiji! Wha…?" Naruto started to say opening the door to their room only to find the others out cold.
Jiraiya was the only one who seemed to be awake, though the old man was holding onto the wall to stay upright, breathing heavy he raised his eyes to Naruto's and said "Oi…gaki give me a hand."
"Tou-san? Shit, Heero, Wufei!" Duo gasped, seeing both unconscious boys. He quickly checked their vitals and sighed, looking up with a confused look. "Their okay but it's like they've been drugged or something." Duo said, eyeing his father. "Are you okay Tou-san?"
Jiraiya leaned on Naruto as the blonde rushed over to offer him support and said "Don't worry it's just a light sleep potion, nothing that will kill any of us…Damn Hime I should have known better then to trust her when she was acting so odd."
"Wait, you mean Tsunade did this? Why?" Duo asked, rushing back to Jiraiya, stumbling along the way.
Jiraiya sighed as he sat on a bed before saying "I'm not sure."
Before he could continue there was a pounding on the door "Jiraiya-sama!" a voice yelled as the pounding continued.
Sasuke frowned and opened the door revealing an out of breath Shizune. "We-we have to stop her!" The black haired woman pleaded holding onto her own stomach.
"Did she just poison everyone?" Duo said incredulously as he rushed forward to help the woman. "Where has she gone?"
Jiraiya shook his head and said "Leave it to that hime to slip an odorless, tasteless sleeping potion into our drinks. Sasuke good thing you didn't drink anything last night…as for you Duo…well hell she'd have to kill a normal person to put enough sleeping potion in there to have an effect on you."
Shizune frowned and said "She's gone to meet up with Orochimaru, we have to hurry! I'll explain everything on the way!" her voice pleading.
Jiraiya closed his eyes and said "No choice, let's go. We'll have to leave Heero and Wufei here. We don't have time to wake them."
Duo nodded and snatched up paper, jotting down a message for the two if they woke. He then grabbed his gun, he wasn't sure how good it would be but he still wasn't very comfortable throwing the heavier kunai knives. "Off we are then, lead the way Shizune, can you keep up Tou-san?" Duo asked, offering Jiraiya a hand up off the bed.
Jiraiya nodded and said "Hai, oi Sasuke disguise yourself. Last thing we need is for that snake to know you're with us."
Sasuke frowned and said "Hai…how?"
Naruto got an evil grin on his face and leaning forward whispered into Sasuke's ear. The raven haired boy pulled away blushing scarlet and said "I..Iie! No way baka!"
Naruto crossed his arms over his chest and said "Ohhhhhh so you can't do it can you?"
Sasuke glared at Naruto before sighing and saying "I hate you…you know that right?...Sexy no Jutsu," the raven haired boy finished forming the needed hand signs. A poof of smoke surrounded him, before clearing. Where once a raven haired boy had stood now stood a woman. She had a cascade of raven blue hair that fell down to her waist, and onyx eyes set in a soft face.
Duo glanced over at the now very female, very naked Sasuke. "You guys gotta' get the clothes thing down," Duo said with a blush, turning away.
Naruto burst out laughing falling over. "Niceeeeeee!" Jiraiya exclaimed giving Sasuke a thumbs up.
Shizune blushed and said "CO…cover yourself!" and covered her face.
Sasuke blushed and said "…what do females…wear?" self-consciously covering him…herself
"Hang on," Duo said digging in his bags. Holding out a spare outfit while still not looking he said "your taller than me and…curvier…so it might be tight."
Sasuke blushed and accepted Duo's offering quickly pulling it on he turned even redder as the top stretched tightly across the bust. The shorts…didn't fit at all…so he had to forgo them…it was…rather drafty.
Naruto gulped and did his best to not laugh even harder…but damn Sasuke was hot…in a skanky kinda' way. Jiraiya laughed perversely a light blush on his face as his hand made grabbing motions and he moved towards Sasuke.
Duo angrily smacked his dad. "Hands off Tou-san," he glared, quickly retrieved some of Sasuke's own clothes. "Forget that, you can't go out like that you can't be comfortable or move well," he said, face redder than ever.
Sasuke nodded red faced as he quickly changed into his own cloths. The bust was still stretched…but at least he wasn't afraid of a light breeze. "Alright lets go…." He said in a softer more feminine voice.
Jiraiya pouted and said "Ahhhhh but she looked so good in that too."
Naruto rolled his eyes and said "Okayyyy now that teme is dressed we should get going ne? Need to stop Baa-chan."
"C'mon Shizune lead the way," Duo said, standing next to Sasuke so he could ward off any groping.
Jiraiya pouted and followed after the other's muttering about research. Naruto shook his head as they sped over the roofs before saying "So Shizune-chan what's going on with Tsunade-baa-chan?"
Shizune frowned and said "A week ago Orochimaru approached her…and offered to use the forbidden jutsu to resurrect her little brother and the man she loved…in exchange for her healing the hands that the third sealed away."
Jiraiya scowled and said "And she believed him? That snake is just trying to use her!"
Naruto frowned, he couldn't help but remember the stories Shizune had told them earlier in the week about the two who had fought for their dreams to become the Hokage, and died. The fact that the obaa-chan had put that unlucky necklace on the line had to mean something. "She won't do it, baa-chan won't." the blonde said conviction in his voice.
Duo nodded, most of his energy on keeping up. "Man, she would do this right after I deplete all my chakra…" Duo muttered, stumbling on a landing before pushing off again. In a louder voice he said "If she doesn't go along I doubt this guy will be very happy about it."
Jiraiya scowled and said "Iie….it will get nasty, if that happens you boys keep back."
Naruto felt a feral grin tug at his lips as Kurama stirred inside, this could be interesting! Landing the group gaped at the destruction. Jiraiya looked around and said "Oh hai Tsunade's definitely been here."
Shizune frowned as she picked up a green coat with the kanji for gamble on it off of the ground "This is Tsunade-sama's, Ton Ton!" the black haired women finished talking to the piglet that followed her around everywhere.
With an oink the pig sniffed about before rushing off. "Come on this way!" Shizune exclaimed following after the pig.
Naruto lifted a brow, huh…it was…a tracking pig? Well that was different. Shaking it off he followed after the group soon arriving at an open field. They arrived in time to see a gray haired teen cut his own hand open and cover Tsunade in blood.
At the sight the blonde woman froze up and began to tremble, not blocking even as the gray haired youth kicked her back. Shizune gasped and used herself to cushion the older woman's fall. "Tsunade-sama!" the black haired woman said.
Naruto blinked and looked from Tsunade to the gray haired youth and said "Kabuto-kun?...wha…what are you doing here?"
Panting, Duo's eyes narrowed as he looked around. His eyes settled on a man with long black hair who was watching the fight. "There," Duo gasped, pointing him out to the others. "That guy makes my skin crawl."
Naruto looked away from Kabuto to glare at the dark haired man standing back "Orochimaru…he of the creepy tongue and the hicky giving." The blonde said glaring at Orochimaru.
Jiraiya glared and said "Seems the whole crews here, Orochimaru."
Sasuke glared at Orochimaru his arms crossing…huh that seemed to push his boobs up….odd…
"Hicky giver Naru?" Duo asked with a raised eyebrow as he finally caught his breath, not taking his eyes off the man.
"The curse seal thingy majig that's trying to eat teme. He's the one who did it…creepy pedophile if you ask me…." The blonde said before turning sad eyes on Kabuto and saying "How long…how long have you been working with that snake bastard?"
Kabuto smirked and adjusting his glasses said "The whole time, I was spying on Konoha. And let me just say that you should quit being a shinobi. You have no talent whatsoever Naruto."
"He bit…my Sasuke?" Duo asked, chakra flaring as he balled his hands into fists.
Sasuke coughed into his hand…he couldn't respond to that without giving himself away…but…his Sasuke?...The raven haired boy looked down…he…kinda' liked that Duo referred to him that way…huh…did all women look down the valley of their breasts like this….it was…disturbing….
Naruto ground his teeth and said "Oi, I misjudged you Kabuto. Don't underestimate me!"
Duo growled and ran, speeding past the others and pulling a kunai as he went. "Sasuke is mine you snake!" he roared, attacking Orochimaru head on, surrounded by a much weaker chakra shroud than normal.
Orochimaru blinked as the strange gaki launched himself at him. "Oh is he now?" the snake senin hissed out his tongue reaching out and coiling itself around Duo. "Ahhhhhh a shinigami brat?...and here I'd thought I'd killed the only one around long ago, interesting." He added glaring down at Duo, tightening his grip on the other boy.
"You… bastard…." Duo gasped eyes huge. Wiggling madly he tried to cut the tongue holding him, only managing a small slice. "I'll kill you!" he screamed.
Jiraiya's eyes widened….Or…he…had…falling to his knees the white haired sanin panted from the sleeping potion…he couldn't even protect his own kid…and after all these years of searching to think that it was Orochimaru who had….
Naruto's eyes widened as he watched Duo struggle his eye began to twitch as angry red chakra spilled out of him. Shooting forward the blonde grabbed ahold of the tongue holding Duo with clawed hands and growled out "Die," in a deep echoy voice his red slit eyes focused on Orochimaru.
Duo was gasping for air, the bastard was going to squeeze him to death at this rate. He flinched as the red chakra from Naruto bubbled near him, burning into the tongue. "Nar…ru…"
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and yanked his tongue out of Naruto's burning grip. Duo, being yanked with it, was slammed into a bolder as Orochimaru released him. Naruto let out a roar at this and was enshrouded in angry red chakra shooting forward slamming a clawed hand forward towards Orochimaru's stomach.
Orochimaru gasped even as he flipped away from Naruto's chakra shrouded form. His eyes narrowed as angry red eyes glared out at him. Kabuto's eyes widened as he rushed over to his master's side his eyes narrowing in on the blonde boy.
Jiraiya pulled himself to his feet and rushed over to Duo calling out "Control it Naruto, if not the kyubi's chakra will rip you apart."
Duo sat up, gasping and dazed. He had to stop breaking his fall with his head. He blinked, wiping blood out of his left eye, his hands shaking. Shit, that had hurt. "Ku… Kurama… come…" Duo slurred, trying to call the enraged boy back. He tried to get up and the world titled and he collapsed back down. He wasn't healing very quickly, most of his chakra already with the blonde currently trying to maul Orochimaru.
With a growl Naruto flashed away from Orochimaru landing beside Duo. Shifting the blonde ran blood red eyes over the felled brunette. Before swinging his gaze back to Orochimaru.
Kabuto began going through some hand seals and thrusting his palm down yelled "Kuchiyose no Jutsu"
Jiraiya cursed as he quickly copied the grey haired boy. As Kabuto's twin constrictors rose up to tower above them Jiraiya's eyes twitched as he stared down at the small toad he'd summoned…
Leaning on the blonde Duo ignored the burns. "Kura, gimme' Naru, Tou-san needs help with his summon thingy. Calm down and you can kick ass later." Blinking blood out his eyes, he smiled at the angry Naruto, he could see the worry. "I'll go by Sassy and Shizune, don't worry over me. I kinda' deserve it for flying off the handle and running in." Duo shook his head, regretting it as the world spun.
With another flash and a grunt Sasuke griped Naruto's throat and held the angry red chakra coved boy away from Duo. "Oi get it together!" he growled out…huh…not as intimidating when it was said in a feminine voice.
Duo surged to his feet, intending to smack Sasuke, instead he ended up falling into the now female boy. "L-let him go…. He was protecting me…" he said, one hand pressing to the still bleeding wound. "Fuck I forgot how much head injuries suck…"
Sasuke growled and released Naruto's neck turning to help hold Duo up. He absently held his now crispy looking hand at his side his other running slowly over Duo's injury winching in sympathy for the other boy.
Slowly the angry red chakra shifted and disappeared back into Naruto. Naruto sighed and said "Get him to Shizune Sassy, he's right I need to help ero senin if I can…"
"I'm always right Naru," Duo said, fluffing blonde locks. "Now go help Tou-san kick some bitch snake ass." Pressing his hand harder to his head he looked at Sasuke. "I need Shizune's help with this…"
Sasuke nodded and wrapped his good arm around the brunette and flashed them over to the black haired women. Shizune gasped and shaking off her stupor wrapped Tsunade in her jacket before turning her attention to Duo's head.
Naruto swung around to face the towering snakes and taking a deep breath called out "Oi…gomen Duo-kun…try not to freak out too much kay?" before going through his own set of hand signs and calling out "Kuchiyose no Jutsu."
With a poof a toad that was about Jiraiya's size appeared in the clearing, well damn Naruto thought…ah well better then Gamakichi at least "Oi help ero senin!" Naruto instructed as he rushed to intercept Kabuto who was heading for Tsunade once more.
"Shit," Duo said, seeing Kabuto rushing he grabbed Tsunade and jerked her to him, hoping to throw off the guy's aim and put some people between him and the unresponsive woman.
Sasuke shifted to stand in front of Duo and the woman, never mind that he himself right now was one. Naruto put on a burst of speed and managed to block Kabuto's attack. Wincing at the hit Naruto skidded back a bit before coming to a stop.
Something was odd about the attack…he'd blocked the blow…but he was having trouble breathing now…it was odd.
"Oh good…" Duo muttered, collapsing next to Tsunade. "God dammit, stop bleeding…" he growled, pressing harder to the wound. Thinking he looked at Tsunade. "Ne, Tsu can you help me? I'm gonna' pass out at this rate…"
The blonde women just shook and stared at the blood her face a mask of horror. Shizune quickly placed her hands on Duo's wound and began to heal him saying "She's afraid of blood, gomen Duo-kun let me."
"Afraid of blood?" Duo muttered, leaning onto the frozen Tsunade.
Naruto gasped and winced before shaking his head and charging at Kabuto. The other boy flipped away before slapping Naruto's arm and leg with a hand. Naruto gritted his teeth as he collapsed clutching his now injured arm with his good one.
"Does it hurt Naruto-kun? My chakra scalpel doesn't cut skin, but goes deeper to sever your very muscles." Kabuto said smirking as he adjusted his glasses.
Naruto let out a growl as he forced himself to his feet much to Kabuto's surprise. "Don't…don't underestimate me!" the blonde growled out pulling his hands together.
"Clones?...your favorite…so predictable Naruto-kun." Kabuto smirked shaking his head.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu," the blonde exclaimed as only a single clone poofed into existence. "Oi I said don't underestimate me!" the blonde yelled rushing forward throwing his hand back as the clone began to make strange movements causing a ball of chakra to begin to form in the blonde's palm.
"Kick his ass Naruto," Duo muttered, finally well enough to sit up and watch the fight while the female Sasuke hovered over him.
Kabuto, who had been rushing towards the blonde, narrowed his eyes and shifted his eyes wide as the blonde slammed his hand forward yelling "Rasengun!"
Kabuto managed to slap Naruto's chest as he was sent flying back slamming into a rock. The grey haired boy coughed up blood staring down at his chest. How could the brat have done this much damage he thought even as he charged his cells to heel.
Naruto panted "See…told you…baa…chan…" he finished collapsing onto his back.
"NARUTO!" Tsunade yelled pulling herself together and running to the boy. Her hands glowed green as she began to heal the critically injured blonde.
….from this point the fight is the same as the original…and I really don't feel like typing it all out…so yeahhh…ummmm brief summery for those who don't remember it Tsunade saves Naruto's life…barely gives him her necklace then Kabuto goes back on the attack and she gets over her fear of blood. Then she, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru summon their boss summons…things…toad, slug, and snake. One kick ass fight happens and Orochimaru is eventually forced to retreat…there…the end… [;jan is laughing in the corner and points; She's the boss XD]
Naruto winced and slowly sat up "Oi…what sat on me?"
"Me, I'm getting fat off of ramen," Duo said flopping next to Naruto, smiling at him. "Like my new hat?" he joked, pointing at the bandaging Shizune had insisted on doing just to be safe. He was almost completely healed but there were obvious bloodstains.
Wincing Naruto sat up and laughed before saying "Very attractive Duo-kun!" smiling at the other boy.
Sasuke, still in his female form, walked over to scowl down at the blonde. That's all he did just stood there scowling…as if he was displeased with something.
"Oh shut up Sassy," Duo said, laughing as he poked the other boy's leg and raised an eyebrow. "You do realize you can totally go back to being a boy right?"
Naruto snickered and said "I think he's obsessed with his boobs."
Sasuke's eye twitched as with a poof he was once again his normal self before saying "You're the one obsessed with boobs you boob!" glaring at the other boy.
Duo giggled. "Ah, the normal smexy Sassy, how I've missed you," Duo said, fluttering his eyelashes and blowing kisses at the agitated boy. "I prefer boy Sassy honestly."
Sasuke blushed scarlet at this much to Naruto's amusement "Ahhhhhhh how sweeeeeett." The blonde purred.
"I am not sweat!" the raven haired boy growled out glaring at Naruto.
"Are too, I can totally vouch for that," Duo said with a goofy grin, winking at the blushing Sasuke.
"Alright brats enough flirting! Let's get out of here….I need a drink!" Tsunade said with an exaggerated sigh.
"We are not flirting!" Sasuke growled out.
"Dude...this is soooo flirting." Naruto argued fluttering his own eyelashes.
"Speak for yourself, I am hella' flirting," Duo said, standing up a little wobbly. "Blah, healing normally suuucks. I'm still all woozy from head butting that rock." Duo said, glaring at said rock. "Why do I always break my falls with my head?"
Sasuke chose to ignore the two of them, though the fact that he was cherry red ruined the effect of his glare completely.
"Maybe you have some kinda' kinky fetish and your subconscious is trying to fulfill it?" Naruto said helpfully.
Duo choked, laughing hysterically. "What the fuck dude, seriously?" he gasped, tears in his eyes as he blushed. "I'm starting to think you hang out with Tou-san way too much."
"Ya think?" Naruto seemed to be actually thinking about it for a second before he was slapped upside the head "Heyyyyy still healing here!" the blonde winced up at the white haired Jiraiya who had been the one doing the slapping.
"You're not supposed to agree with him gaki!" the older man said scowling down at Naruto.
"Please, you're the one who convinced me this was a boy's outfit," Duo said raising an eyebrow at Jiraiya, shaking his head as he offered Naruto a hand up.
"Oi…Jiraiya…what's you gaki talking about?" Tsunade said crossing her arms over her generous chest.
Jiraiya blinked and said "Uhhhhh….nothing?"
Naruto lifted an eyebrow as he accepted Duo's help up. "Really? Nothing?...and I thought I was the one who sucked at excuses…"
Duo giggled and swished his dress, showing off some generous leg. "He told me it looked good and insisted on buying it for me, I've kinda' gotten used to it now. Way easier to move around in, I can see why girls wear them," he said, smiling up at Shizune and Tsunade.
Tsunade nodded at Duo and said "I see…" before walking over to Jiraiya who was sweating up a storm by now "Shizune, get the kids back to the hotel…I'll be along shortly." Tsunade said as she cracked her knuckles and narrowed her eyes at Jiraiya.
Shizune gulped, poor, poor Jiraiya…but he kinda' deserved it…a lot…"Alright boys, let's go check on Heero-san, and Wufei-san." The black haired woman said herding the three boys along.
"Don't kill him Tsu-chan, I think Sasuke accidently proposing probably was enough of a punishment for him," Duo said, giggling madly as he happily swayed his hips as he let himself be herded away.
Tsunade froze and looked slowly over her shoulder at Sasuke who looked petrified at this point "Uchiha…we'll have a little chat later." Before turning back to Jiraiya.
As the group left Sasuke, who looked a little like he was trying not to hyperventilate said "Are…are you trying to get me killed Duo?..." in a shaky voice.
Naruto giggled uncontrollably, man it was too funny when Sasuke lost his cool.
"She won't kill you when I tell her I chose you, it's not like you held me down though I wouldn't object," Duo said winking at the boy. "Don't worry, I'll protect you Sassy." He pecked the boy on the lips before skipping ahead, still giggling madly.
Sasuke stood frozen to the spot…damn…would it be taking advantage of the obviously loopy brunette if he…hummmm he thought to himself before sighing….yeah…probably…but damn…
Naruto fell over as Sasuke seemed to be contemplating something "Oi Sasuke you're not gonna' assault Duo out here in public are you?" the blonde said giggling madly.
Sasuke let out a loud sigh and answered the blonde seriously "No…but I want to…"
"I'm flattered Sassy," he said teasingly, swaying his hips causing his braid to swing like a pendulum in front of his butt. He looked over his shoulder at the raven haired boy, fluttering his lashes.
Sasuke let out a groan and said "You are trying to kill me after all…" his eyes transfixed.
"You don't sound upset about that Sasuke…wait until we get back to Konoha I'll let you have a look at some of my research materials…got some info you're gonna' need." Naruto said throwing an arm over Sasuke's shoulder.
Shizune was blushing behind the group of boys, teenage boys were…hormonal…more so than she remembered from her own youth it seemed.
"Research material?" Duo asked, raising a brow at Naruto. "Were you spying on me Naru?" He said, slowing his walk so he could walk between the two boys.
Naruto blinked "Spying?...well…no…not…okay kinda'…but not on you..per say..um…its…complicated?..." the blonde seemed to backpedaling holding his hands up in front of him defensively.
Duo shook his head. "I don't know whether to be flattered or annoyed, you are seriously hanging out with Tou-san too much. Please tell me you don't have naked pictures of me?" Duo said, raising an eyebrow at the blonde.
Naruto shook his head and said "Iie not you nope….um…no…um…I can't help it I had to do research for my sexy jutsu you know…."
Sasuke turned his head and said "So…you want to show me pictures….of naked women?...how's…that supposed to help me…."
"Aw did you want nekkid pictures of me Sassy?" Duo asked, raising an eyebrow at the boy, giggling. "I suppose I could borrow Naru's camera…" he said, tapping his chin with an evil smirk on his face.
Steam seemed to come out of Sasuke's ears before the raven haired boy just fell over. Naruto blinked and poking Sasuke with a finger said "Ne Duo…I think you broke him…"
"Probably, now I'm tempted to actually do that just to see what he does," Duo said with a giggle before stopping and contemplating the unconscious Sasuke for a second. "I don't think I can carry him, he's taller than me and I'm still woozy, you mind Naru?"
Naruto blushed scarlet before shaking his head and scooping Sasuke up bridal style "Man why don't I have my camera at a time like this." The blonde said shifting the unconscious boy in his arms.
"Because Sasuke would kill you if you took a picture right now?" Duo answered, petting the blonde's head affectionately. Glancing behind him he giggled. "I think we traumatized poor Shizune too," he said, gesturing to the red woman trailing behind them.
Naruto blinked and looking over his shoulder and said "Oi you still with us Shizune-chan? Cause I can carry you too if you need me to."
Shizune flushed harder and clearing her throat said "Th…that's okay Naruto-kun lets…lets go…" her voice cracking a bit.
"Don't worry," Duo said, turning and walking backward to be able to see Shizune. "If you pass out I'll carry you, I won't let the Tou-san's apprentice. Though I'm a little worried about Tou-san, I figured they'd catch up by now…"
"Heyyyyy I'm…well I am kinda' his apprentice but only as a shinobi!" Naruto protested puffing up his cheeks.
"Ah…thanks Duo-kun…" Shizune said laughing nervously.
"Heyyyyyy you don't have to agree with him!...and what do you think…think baa-chan is kissing it and making it better right about now for ojiji?" Naruto added trying to turn the subject off of himself.
"See?" Duo said, giggling and petting Naruto's head. "Listen to those perverted thoughts, and ew, he's my dad, not thinking about that. Sasuke is so lucky he's out so he can't faint again." Duo giggled.
Naruto blew Duo a raspberry before freezing feeling an evil presence behind him. Turning his head slowly he gulped as he found himself being stared down by Tsunade. "Uh…hi there Tsunade-sama…how are…you?" the blonde said laughing nervously and unconsciously griping Sasuke closer to himself.
"Oh hey Tsu-chan," Duo waved, smiling benignly as if he had never done wrong, ever. "I made Sasuke pass out, where's Tou-san?"
"That pervert will catch up to us later…he's a little busy untangling himself at the moment…so…gaki…got something you wanna' say to me?" the blonde women said never once taking her eyes off of Naruto.
Naruto gulped and said "…I…umm…love you?" grasping at straws.
Duo giggled and patted Naruto's chest where he could see Tsunade's necklace. "Probably 'thank you' is more appropriate," he pointed out, "that was an awesome Rasengan after all. Though if you want I can try to hold Sasuke, but I doubt you can outrun her."
Naruto shifted again so that Sasuke's prone form covered most of his vitals and slowly began backing away from the approaching woman. "AHHHHH don't kill meeeee." The blonde pleaded as said woman was suddenly all up in his face.
Smirking the woman wrapped her arms around the three boys, having somehow gotten Duo in front of her as well. Giving the three boys a quick hug the woman let them go and stepping around them and continued on her way.
Naruto blinked and looking at Duo said "Am I dead?...cause…I don't feel dead…"
"Not unless hell is made of hugs," Duo said, smiling and turning to chase after the woman. Catching up he gave her a sunny smile. "Are you gonna' kill my Sassy when he wakes up still Tsu-chan?"
Tsunade smiled down at Duo and said "Nah, but that doesn't mean I won't give him a hell of a hard time." Winking down at him.
"Hugs?...wait wait wait…I don't get it…" Naruto sputtered out before realizing he was being left behind. Shaking his head the blonde boy sprinted to catch back up with the group.
Duo giggled. "Don't worry Naru, it's a girl thing." Duo said giggling and flipping his braid over his shoulder and winking up at Tsunade.
Naruto squinted his eyes and said "Is it?...huh…learn something new every day…all Sakura-chan does when I make her mad is hurt me…guess it's an age thing…"
Tsunade rubbed the bridge of her nose and said over her shoulder "Brat…just shut up while I'm still in a good mood."
"Nah, if Sakura is the crazy pink girl you wouldn't like her Tsu-chan, she keeps trying to kill me cause Sassy stands near me," Duo said rolling his eyes as he remembered his first meeting with the girl. "Her and that crazy blonde haired girl."
Tsunade blinked and said "Kill you?...seems I'm going to have to have a long hard chat with the council about proper behavior among kunoichi…."
Naruto nodded his head and said "Yeah you should sooo do that…I'm pretty sure she's tried to kill me a time or two too…there was that one time she gave me that rice ball that was green…"
"Seriously, green? Oh and she cut my hair, see!" Duo said, holding up a piece of hair that was frayed and too short to be braided. He pouted. "It was probably supposed to stab me in the head."
"Yeahhhh tasted weird too…didn't do anything to me…though with Kurama…well I've never been sick a day in my life so yeah…not sure what it was supposed to do…if anything…" Naruto nodded before giggling and adding "I think Sasuke's plotting her death over the hair thing."
"Good," Duo said huffily. "I've grown it all my life, it's a memento of the people I've lost." He sighed and shook his head. "Besides, it's all frayed now, I'll have to fix it and cut it even shorter, it'll stick out and look funny."
It was at this exact moment that Sasuke bolted into full wakefulness and leaned forward grabbing Duo "You will not cut it!" the avenger growled down at the other boy, seemingly completely oblivious that he was being held by Naruto.
"I…I meant this one piece… not all… of it?" Duo muttered, very shocked at being suddenly manhandled by an irate Sasuke. "Ow, by the way…"
"Dude it's his hair…he can cut it if he wants teme." Naruto said glaring at the back of Sasuke's head.
Said head turned to glare at the blonde and the raven haired boy opened his mouth as if to say something only to pause and blink. "Oi…baka…."
"Yes oh teme one?" Naruto replied.
"Why…are you holding me?" Sasuke asked.
"Um, cause I was too woozy and you fainted? And again, ow. Can you ease up, I may heal fast but I still bruise easy and you have one hella' grip," Duo said, wincing when Sasuke tightened his grip unconsciously when he glared at Naruto.
"I see…" Sasuke said releasing Duo and attempting to get down… but since the raven haired boy hadn't said anything Naruto tightened his grip on the other boy and blinked down at him.
"Come on you can say it just three little words and you can get downnnnn." Naruto said in a sing song voice.
"You want him to say 'I love you?'" Duo asked, raising an eyebrow as he rubbed his arms. 'Damn Sasuke has a grip… note to self never threaten hair…' Duo thought, smiling.
Sasuke lifted his eyebrow and simply stared at Naruto who turned tomato red at Duo's words "NOooo...he just has to say thank you, Naruto…" the blonde said refusing to put the Uchiha down.
"Ohhhhh… " Duo said. "Well he has carried you… and since Tsu-chan is here you may wanna' get down Sassy," he finished, giggling when he saw the two women turn to see why the boys had stopped.
Sasuke gritted his teeth and muttered something. Naruto blinked and tilted his head saying "What was that teme? Didn't quite catch that…"
Sasuke's eye twitched and muttered again. "Can't hearrrrr youuuu." Naruto said blinking innocently at Sasuke.
"I said THANK YOU NARUTO!" Sasuke finished yelling in Naruto's face.
Duo burst out laughing, almost falling over. "Oh… your face… dear god… I've never seen… angrier thanks… in my life…!" Duo gasped between laughs.
Naruto gave Sasuke a goofy grin and plopped the other boy onto his feet "See and you didn't even burst into flames or anything!"
Sasuke's eye twitched as he muttered under his breath "I'll make you burst into flames…stupid baka…"
"Who's in flames?" Jiraiya asked landing beside Naruto having come in at the tail end of the conversation.
Dup was still laughing, holding his stomach with tears in his eyes.
Sasuke's eye twitched and he ground out "Nothing it's nothing…"
"Oi gaki's move it, we don't have all day you know." Tsunade called from ahead her hands on her hips.
Duo nodded. "Hai," he said, still giggling as he fell into step with Jiraiya. "I am a little worried about Wu and Hee-chan"
Naruto nodded and wrapped an arm around Duo's shoulders, wrapping his other around Sasuke's the blonde said "Hai lets not drag our feet now."
Sasuke scowled but didn't try to remove the arm around him as the blonde steered the group forward…it was odd…but he was getting used to all this touching…and the baka had said something about having info for him…who knows maybe the blonde would come in handy.
Duo smirked. "Race you," he said then took off, running past the two women as he took to the tress.
