Everyone had hurriedly ran up to find their rooms, choosing bags and exploring the rooms curiously. Naruto, Sasuke, Shino and Neji had unpacked and were all now sitting on their own beds, looking around weirdly. How had they ever gotten this place?
Sasuke's bed was up against the wall near the balcony, And Naruto's was near Sasuke's, but in the direction of the door, but they were almost connected from the bottom of Sasuke's to the top of Naruto's, Shino was near the door, the left side, and his bed was pushed into the corner, and Neji was on the other wall across from Naruto.
Shino had taken the bed by the door right when he got in the room, before Naruto could get it so he had to get the bed by Sasuke. He narrowed his eyes as he watched the bug-ninja look around innocently.
Naruto shrugged it off and fell back in his bed to look up at the ceiling dazed. There also was a big painting across this ceiling too, which was the Mona Lisa. He cocked his head to the side as he found that every which way he moved the woman would watch him, smiling that weird smile. He shuddered and sat up again, looking away from the dark ceiling. He tilted his head slightly to look at the avenger, who was glancing around the room. Naruto followed his gaze and saw that the room had a huge table in the middle of the room, which Naruto had noticed right away, and four comfy fluffy chairs around it. There also seemed to be alot of dressers... Naruto raised an eyebrow. 'They really do expect us to live here.'
'There are no T.V's. Or computers.' Sasuke thought, but decided not to warn his beautiful blue-eyed companion.
Shino turned to Neji, which seemed weird because Shino didn't really talk much and asked, "What's the matter with Tenten?" Neji looked down. "I, uh, accidentlysawhernaked." He breathed out then took a breath.
Everyone in that room, even Shino understood the wrath of an angry naked woman, so they all awkwardly leaked out of the room, Naruto turning to Sasuke and devilishly shouted, "How about I go give you the beating I promised?" He grinned and Sasuke scoffed. "Yeah right, dunce." And with that they both went out the back of the house, walking towards the training grounds.
-------------------------------------------------------------
"There's alot of supplies here." Sakura said to Hinata. Hinata nodded and gazed around the bright kitchen, which was lit up with light from the now well into the morning sun. The kitchen had many counters and it was finely furnished, the see through cupboards had a lot of bright glasses, all which were decorated beautiful. Hinata was afraid that if she accidentally broke one, then a mad man would jump out of the bushes, with a big chainsaw revving.
She shook her head and opened the wooden cupboards carefully, to see that it was packed with ramen. "Naruto's gonna love this." Sakura said, standing beside Hinata. Sakura traced a finger along the sparkling clean sink. "Do you.. Notice anything weird about Shino?" Hinata said turning to Sakura, and Sakura saw the worry in her eyes. She shook her head.
"Oh... Okay."
Just at that moment Ino skipped into the kitchen, with Tenten following her. "What are you guys doing hanging around here like old housewives? They have a hot spring here!" She grabbed Hinata and Sakura's hands, ripping them away from the furnished sinks, and leading them out through the kitchen into the living room, which had a glass door that slid open to the back, where there was a hot spring, sure enough, guarded by big wooden fences. The spring was huge enough to fit 20 people, and it was steaming. There was a rack to the left that held clean white towels that were delicately folded. Ino grinned and took off her clothes, and climbed in the hot spring.
"Gyaaa... It's so warm." She writhed somewhat and held up a hand. "Come on, aren't you guys coming in?" Sakura blushed, Ino had good figures. But Sakura had to show she had better figures. She pulled her clothes off carefully, folding it neatly and setting it to the side, and also slid in the warm bath, careful not to stare at Ino.
Hinata and Tenten did the same, blushing madly as they climbed in, sitting next to Sakura and Ino. In minutes they had started up a conversation comfortably, instantly leading the girl talk into the boys region. "Did you find anyone worthy at sand Hinata?" Sakura said nudging Hinata playfully. She blushed and sunk into the water shyly.
"Well.... After all, Naruto doesn't real notice me.... I kinda like Kiba, but I'm sure he doesn't look at me that way. We are teammates anyways. A-and I guess it would somehow interfere with missions... It's just another aimless crush." Hinata confessed quietly, feelings being controlled, but she could still feel tears threatening to swell up in her eyes. It's true that Naruto never did notice her, but that was just because she was so quiet, and Naruto was loud.
Ino wrapped an arm around Hinata's shoulder, careful not to touch or brush her awkwardly. Hinata smiled at her appreciatly and Ino gave her a warm smile. "I know how you feel, Hinata. Sakura and me were all over Sasuke but he never noticed us either. That's why we moved on, and I'm sure you'll get Kiba this time. just stop being so quiet all the time!" Ino giggled and Hinata felt better.
"Thank you, Ino-chan."
Sakura watched the happiness in Hinata's eyes and a flash of Rock Lee came into her mind. She shook her head and turned to watch Tenten who spoke out, "I also like a certain someone... Who only think's that I'm just a friend." A tint of pink brushed her face as she looked to the side. Sakura giggled and jumped on her screaming, "Tickle attack!" She attacked Tenten's naked sides with her fingers and Tenten squirmed madly, "Gyaaaa! My weakness!" she joked, trying to get Sakura back.
Ino laughed, exclaiming loudly enough for Tenten to hear, "So the ice queen does have a weakness!"
------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke and Naruto both flew back and landed softly, both panting. Naruto brought an arm up to wipe his mouth and he breathed, "If we keep this up , this vacation won't make us fat and lazy."
Sasuke stood upright also wiping his mouth with his sleeve. "I wasn't intending to become fat and lazy. How about we come here every morning to train?" Sasuke said, hoping that Naruto would say yes. To the butterflies bouncing around in Sasuke's stomach, Naruto nodded in agreement. "Good idea. We should be getting back for lunch about now.."
The blonde ran up to the dark haired ninja and they both trotted through the forest that lead to the training grounds, then slowed down to walk side by side, both were kind of tired from their spar. Naruto decided to start up friendly conversation. "I think I'm gonna like it here." Naruto declared, looking over to Sasuke, "We get to have a nice big ol' house and cool training grounds and I get to be with you-" Naruto paused suddenly, realizing what he had spilled. Sasuke's eyes widened with surprise. 'What the-'
"I-I meant you're here to beat up. And plus, you're my best friend and it would be boring without you." Sasuke smirked. "Yeah right dunce. Only in your dreams will you ever beat me."
"I'll beat you, bastard! You'll see! Then you will have to say how badly I beat you!" He yelled at Sasuke, which gave Sasuke a satisfied grin. He looked back to Naruto as they were walking, and he looked at him at the same time too, Sasuke caught that look on his face. 'He's so beautiful. With the light shining on him like that. I just want to let him know somehow that I'll always protect him. I just want to pull his warmth in deep within me, where it would be locked away forever.'
He smacked his own poetic mind mentally, but the want for Naruto's attention ever lingered. He tore his own eyes away from Naruto's sky blue ones, to stop himself form saying something stupid. Those eyes always controlled Sasuke, and he looked at the ground shameful of his nonexistent control of emotions.
"Sasuke?" Naruto said almost in a whisper, afraid that he had hurt Sasuke with his outburst. He tapped his shoulder lightly. Sasuke looked up, those eyes making him want to do something, anything.
So he broke out in a swift run, shouting behind him, "Catch me if you can, dunce." Naruto's jaw dropped at the other boy's kindergarten actions, but the look of surprise turned into that of a look of pure joy as he jolted after Sasuke, dodging trees and such.
As Sasuke swerved around gleefully, the end of the woods could be seen and the shine of straight sun gleamed on the surface of the pool that was in the back blinding Sasuke, which gave Naruto his chance as he leaped and grabbed onto Sasuke's ankle, making Sasuke let out a cry of surprise and falling to the ground ungracefully, face first.
Naruto clutched his ankle and screeched, "I BEAT YOU!" He hugged Sasuke's ankle. "HAHAHAHAHA!" Sasuke felt the warmness of Naruto's upper body wrapped around his ankle and he fought to kick Naruto off, careful not to hurt him.
He sighed and fought to stand up, dragging Naruto along the grass that lead to the house. "Can you get off yet?" Sasuke muttered, and Naruto happily shook his head.
"Not until you say I beat you bad."
Sasuke shuddered at the otherwise naughty comment, shaking his head. "You're gonna get grass stains." Sasuke continued to drag him until he was almost there, and Naruto grinned, suddenly shaking his ankle to the side, making Sasuke fall over, then pinned him to the ground. Shikamaru slid the door open. "I'm not even going to comment on how disturbingly wrong that looks. I won't even ask either." And with that, Shikamaru turned and went back inside. Sasuke snapped back to Naruto and yelled.
"Fine! Damn it, you beat me! You beat me like a bitch!"
Naruto laughed full heartily and stood up with satisfaction, extending a hand out to the other boy. Sasuke smiled, he couldn't help it, even though he was very good at hiding emotions. But then again, he never had liked anyone like Naruto, so he didn't know the feeling well enough to hide it. He took his hand, and was pulled to his feet, brushing himself off.
They both took off their shoes and entered the mansion shyly and everybody was laughing and talking. Naruto smiled because he loved the sound of people talking happily, for he hated awkward silences. He and Sasuke helped themselves to some food and sat with the others, listening to what they were talking about.
"We should plan stuff to do!" Sakura happily suggested and the other girls nodded.
"I know so many games we could try out! Like a sleepover that last all summer!" Ino exclaimed, her eyes shining. Shikamaru came over with a sandwich he had just made and he sat between Ino and Sakura. "Hello ladies." He said slyly, nudging Ino playfully.
"Ladies? Where?" Naruto joked, looking around madly, which earned him evil glares from Sakura and Ino.
Choji, who was eating a bag of chips, leaned over to Shino. "We don't even have to do much, just nudge the girls a little and they'll do most of it in a snap." Shino nodded.
"I already got Sasuke and Naruto's thing down."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto shifted in his sleep, moaning softly. It seemed to Sasuke that he was having a bad dream. Sasuke trained himself to wake at the smallest sounds, and he was more attentive to Naruto's needs anyway, but he was concerned. He also sat up, kicking off the sheets and placed his feet on the floor, standing up slowly.
He looked over in Naruto's direction and he could see his bright blonde hair because the moonlight from the balcony gleamed on it gracefully. He hesitated, and then stood up, stumbling over to Naruto's bed, plopping by his side on the floor, facing Naruto.
The boy's eyes were clenched shut tight, and sweat drops framed his face. Sasuke gently put a hand on Naruto's shoulder and leaned towards Naruto's ear and whispered,
"Naruto, it's going to be alright, I'll be here to protect you."
Sasuke knew that Naruto could sleep through a storm any day, so he felt comfortable saying that in front of him, somewhat feeling that he let his feelings out. Naruto's eyes softened in slumber and he smiled.
"Sa...suke." Sasuke smiled and stood up, walking satisfied back to his bed, the groans of Naruto's bad dreams not waking him. But what the moonlight didn't show was Shino sitting up in bed, which could see the whole scene.
