Sasuke awoke the next morning to find Naruto snuggled up against him with his long golden hair cascading behind him. They had both changed into their pajamas, Sasuke in a pair of silken pants and Naruto in a shirt that was to big for him but long enough to just cover everything, albeit separately and gotten into bed together. It all seemed so natural to them. Neither of them even felt embarrassed by the fact that they would be sleeping so close when they both had little on.

Sasuke took this moment to take a deep breath and smell Naruto's scent. It was rare that he got to sleep in the same bed as Naruto, though it did happen occasionally for various reasons, so he never got to feel this close to the boy before. It was easier to show affection when Naruto wasn't actually awake to receive it.

Naruto mumbled something in his sleep as he snuggled deeper into Sasuke's chest and he recognized the sign of Naruto waking up, but he refused to move. They were supposed to be married after all. He didn't have to move when they were married.

"Good morning," Sasuke whispered as Naruto's eyes slowly flickered open.

"Morning," Naruto mumbled, but his eyes closed and he buried himself further into Sasuke in an attempt to block out the sun.

"We do have to get at up some point my lovely wife," Sasuke smirked. He would have much rather said husband, but the affect was the same either way.

"I don't want to get up," Naruto grumbled, but he shifted so that he could look at Sasuke again. He didn't blush because of Sasuke's comment, but that was only because his groggy mind was refusing to make all the connections that it should be making. "Can't we spend all day in bed?"

"No," Sasuke laughed. "We have some people that we need to be finding."

Naruto pouted, but sat up in the bed and looked around. "But this bed is so comfortable," he whined even as he slipped his feet out from under the covers.

Sasuke smirked and stood up from the bed as he watched Naruto's bare legs appear out in the open.

"I'm hungry Sasuke," Naruto stated as he stretched, his shirt rising up just enough to show the edge of his underwear.

"How about we go out to eat," Sasuke replied. "I'm sure there are some really good places around here."

"Okay," Naruto agreed with a smile. He was still a little out of it from his sleep, but he was starting to come back to himself. Suddenly everything that had happened in the room up to that point came back to him and he blushed. He hadn't even realized that they were already acting like so much of a married couple and they weren't even in the eye of anyone.

"I'll go get Sakura to help you get dressed," Sasuke said as he turned away so that Naruto wouldn't be able to see the very contented smile on his face. He was going to enjoy this mission very much.

"Okay," Naruto nodded as he watched Sasuke's bare back walk away from him. The muscular frame was definitely a nice view for Naruto. He was really going to enjoy this mission.


"Sakura," Sasuke came out of his room to find both Sakura and Kakashi already up.

"Well hello there Uchiha-sama," Sakura gave him a little smirk of her own and Sasuke wondered what was so funny. "Did you have a good sleep?"

"Of course," Sasuke replied, but the he caught sight of the clock on one of the walls. It was 12:01. Neither he nor Naruto had ever been able to sleep past 7 o'clock. "I slept very well," he said contentedly. Naruto always did make him sleep better and holding him in his arms must have been just too good to ruin by waking up early. "But now my beloved wife is hungry and she needs someone to help her get dressed."

"Oh," Sakura giggled. "I'll go help her."

"Thank you Sakura," Sasuke grinned.

"I would have been happy to help too," Kakashi said nonchalantly from his place on the couch reading Icha Icha Paradise.

"I'm not letting you anywhere near my wife when you're always looking at such perverted books," Sasuke smirked as he sat down too.

"Aren't you going to get dressed?" Kakashi raised a brow at Sasuke's bare chest and silken pajama bottoms.

"Once Naruto's done," Sasuke shrugged.

"Why not go now," Kakashi asked. "It's not like he has anything that you haven't seen before."

"Because Kakashi-sensei," Sasuke replied. "I actually respect people's privacy."

"Your loss," Kakashi shrugged as he turned back to his book.


"Naruto?" Sakura asked as she entered the room.

"I'm right here," Naruto replied as he exited the bathroom with a sky blue kimono hanging off his shoulders. "I'm horrible at putting these things on by myself."

"You're not supposed to put them on by yourself," Sakura giggled as she moved over to help him fix the kimono. "You're supposed to have someone help you. But that's why I'm here isn't it?"

"I thought you were here to be my body guard," Naruto joked.

"Oh," Sakura smiled, "and who says I can't be both."

"I guess that no one did," Naruto shrugged after a moment of pretend deep thought.

"That's what I thought," Sakura said in a mock know-it-all tone. "Raise your arms please."

"Why do these sleeves have to be so long?" Naruto asked as he lifted his arms. The cuffs of the sleeves were so big that they almost reached the ground when he had his arms at his side.

"Oh shush," Sakura giggled as she wrapped the black bow around his waist. This time she made sure to tie it in a way that the top was still the same, but the bottom would open to show off Naruto's legs whenever he walked. "It looks good on you," she said once she was done. "Now I just have to do your hair and make up."

"Okay," Naruto nodded as he sat down on the chair provided to them in the room.

Sakura went to work immediately she did the same thing with the make up, though tweaking it a bit so that it fit the blue kimono better, but decided that something different had to be done with Naruto's hair. She put gel in it and began to work it until there were no more spikes remaining. Instead, the short strands of Naruto's hair framed his face and swooped outward slightly in the back. Then she took the two pigtails that she put the long strands in and curled each one.

"There," Sakura said once she was done. "You look so pretty."

Naruto examined himself in the mirror. It was still so weird seeing himself as a girl, but even he had to admit that Sakura did good work. "Thank you Sakura."

"Never mind that," Sakura grinned. "Let's go show Sasuke what his new wife looks like today."
