Three days later-
Shay paced the small house sized tent that she had been given to live in while in the Leaf village.
The tent was a cozy place, well protected from the wind and rain by the large trees it was wedged between, and had come fully furnished with a bed, a dresser, a vanity, an attached bathroom with a brick wall built around it where she could shower and use the bathroom when she needed too without worry about her privacy being disturbed.
There was even a small battery operated kitchen that consisted of a medium sized fridge, and a small stove, including a water pump attached to a small sink, complete with dishes and pots and pans. There were several battery operated lights attached to the rough clothe walls surrounding her.
All and all it was rather cool for a tent. And she was fairly comfortable.
But she couldn't help but still feel trapped since she hadn't been allowed to leave her tent since the first night she had stepped foot in the damn thing. How did these people expect her to settle in and relax when they were treating her (more or less) like a prisoner? She needed to get out and walk around-
And where the hell was Gaara? She hadn't seen him since the other day too! And she was starting to get just a little bit pissed about being trapped and not having anyone to talk too.
She stopped pacing for a second when she felt a sudden bought of dizziness and felt herself go still instinctively so that she didn't end up too woozy and accidentally fall. She stood in the center of the tent for all of ten seconds when the flap to the opening was thrown open and Naruto peeked in. "Hello, Miss Shay. If your up would you like to-" He stopped speaking as soon as he noticed her and blinked his azure eyes as if he was suprised to find her standing there in the middle of the tent.
Shay turned her head a little bit and looked at him as the dizziness passed and breathed a small sigh of relief. God she did not want to collapse in this place. She didn't care how many people were around, or if they were like super badass ninja's or whatever.
Her deeply rooted fear is that she might collapse and not be found for days or even weeks. There was no basis for her fear; but whoever said fears were rational had been lying through their teeth and deserved a good punch in the face for their bald faced lie.
"Have you ever heard of knocking?" Shay asked in a bemused tone. Naruto gave her a sheepish smile as he flushed.
"Sorry Miss Shay. I would have knocked if there was an actual door here." Naruto said gently. Shay made a humming sound and walked up to him and asked curiously.
"And what would you have done if you had walked in on me changing or something?" Naruto got a funny look on his face and gave her a once over and thinned his lips to suppress the devious grin threatening to show itself.
That was by far one of the stupidest questions he had ever heard.
And under normal circumstances he would have simply answered and be done with it. But today however the blond knuckle head seemed to have woken up feeling particulaly mischivious. "That sounds like a trick question."
"Does it?" Shay asked in an innocent tone that reminded Naruto of Sakura's tone before she punched him for something. Naruto kept his lips thinned and nodded his head and forced a somber expression on his face.
"Yes it does. For several reasons. The first one being; that I'm an adult-"
"Child." Shay said with a small smirk curving her lips. Naruto made a small choking sound and shook his head.
"Adult-" He said firmly as he pointed to his headband. Shay gave him an 'Oh' look and let him continue. "And also a healthy male with a keen interest in the female anatomy-" Shay wrinkled her nose a little bit and snorted.
"Your a virgin then." Naruto gaped at her with a horrified expression on his face. Oh no! She had him figured out! He couldn't let the others find out that he was still a-
They might turn him over to Kakashi, or Ebisu or worse yet- Iruka. To help him lose his-
Oh god! "Nu-uh." Naruto denied her accusation in a weak tone.
"Liar. I wonder what Sakura-chan would say about-" Shay started to say and had to force herself to stop as he all but ran across the tent and slapped a hand over her mouth and hissed from between his teeth as his face turned a nice shade of red.
"Alright. Alright. I get it. Next time I'll knock!" Shay reached up and pried his hand from her mouth and laughed at the horrified expression on his face as something clicked into place in her mind and she shrieked excitedly, the sound startled Naruto if the way he jumped and tensed was any indication at all.
"You like Sakura." Naruto's face turned a deeper shade of red and his eyes widened a little bit and he stared at her as he slowly, very slowly shook his head no. His expression mortified as Shay's expression turned predatory...
