Report:

Naruto got dressed after reading the report and memorizing it. Sasuke was already dressed and downstairs waiting for him so they could stop by Naruto's so he could pack. Naruto checked everything to make sure he had everything before he went downstairs and wrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist, pulling him into a sweet kiss.

Sasuke smiled in return to the blonde's kiss and took Naruto's hand and pulled him out the house, picking up his pack which was sitting by the door. They ran quickly to Naruto's apartment and Sasuke waited while he packed. For some reason they were being very silent and Sasuke's throat was starting to itch because or the silence. Naruto was never silent. Why was he so quiet?

"Is everything okay?" Sasuke asked when Naruto reentered the living ready to go.

"Yep, everything is just about perfect," Naruto answered misunderstanding what Sasuke meant. He wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck and nuzzled it taking in Sasuke's scent because he might not be able to do it for awhile.

"I meant, why are you so quiet? Is something wrong?" Sasuke asked wrapping his arms around Naruto's waist on instinct. Naruto looked up at Sasuke questionably then his expression melted to show his worry leaking through.

"I'm worried because we are getting an S class mission and those girls… I… I'm worried that you could get hurt. I don't know how to save you…" Naruto finally voiced his worries but held back some of the information he didn't want to share.

"Don't worry about me; I can take care of myself. Worry about yourself, I trust that you can at least take care of that for me?" Sasuke kissed him lightly, trying to cheer him up a little and hiding his own worries. Naruto grinned and kissed him back cheerily.

"Yes, I suppose I could do that…" Naruto said after pulling away. Sasuke smiled at him and laid a light kiss on his lover's lips before freeing himself of the blonde's hold,

"Good, let's go before we're late. We don't want to be like Kakashi," Sasuke said chuckling a little as they left hand in hand.

They made it to the meeting spot a few seconds before Sakura, pulling their hands apart after a slight squeeze before she noticed.

"Hey Sakura-chan!" Naruto exclaimed cheerily walking up to her and giving her a friendly hug. She blushed lightly and hugged him back awkwardly before he pulled away.

"Hello Naruto…Hello Sasuke-kun," She replied sweetly with a smile to match. "I see you two have resolved your differences?" she asked remembering how mad Sasuke was at the party.

"Yes! I'm sorry we left early… did everything go well?" Naruto asked smiling sincerely. Sakura caught her breathe in shock. Normally Naruto would go off and talk about how he had beaten Sasuke and how much stronger he was. 'Why is he so different today?' she thought to herself and silently asked Sasuke who shrugged and looked over at a tree like it was interesting.

"Um… that's alright… not much happened except that someone left an expensive bottle of my parent's sake outside in the garden… are you okay?" Sakura finally let some of her concern out after telling him about the party.

"Yeah! Never better, why?" he asked questionably. 'My prize!' his mind screamed, but he squashed that down by telling himself that Kiba gave him something that wasn't his to give.

"Well, you are acting differently, right Sasuke?" Sakura asked looking over at Sasuke. He shrugged and ignored them by continuing to stare at the very interesting tree.

"I don't know what your talking about," Naruto said confused because he knew he was feeling a lot better but he think he was acting differently other than not fighting with Sasuke… 'Oh,' he thought.

"Why aren't you two fighting?" Sakura asked bluntly becoming annoyed that they were so calm like nothing was wrong. Naruto looked away sheepishly trying to hide his light blush.

"Yo," Kakashi greeted saving Naruto from having to explain anything. Sakura turned her wrath to Kakashi and exploded on him.

"Why are you here on time and why aren't they fighting? What the hell is wrong with today!" Sakura yelled at her sensei acting almost like the Hokage herself. 'Che…Iruka must have made him come on time,' Sasuke chuckled to himself.

"Um... Sakura-chan please calm down… nothing is wrong…are you feeling well?" Naruto asked calmly placing his hand on her forehead.

"I'm fine! Ugh…whatever…" Sakura decided not to care and just forget about how weird today was including her earlier date with Lee. 'Date! Oh my! I went on a date with Lee and had fun! Ugh… things are getting to weird… maybe this mission is a good thing…' she thought pushing away from Naruto and leaning against the railing brooding.

"Anyway, everybody ready?" Kakashi asked ignoring Sakura's outburst. They all nodded and picked up their things. "Well, let's go then," he turned and headed for the gate at the edge of town. "Oh yeah here are the profile reports," He said handing them two scrolls. They took them and hunched around Naruto to read them and try to memorize their features.

"Well, they sound very pretty," Sakura commented pushing away from where she was hunched over Naruto's shoulder but not removing her hand from his shoulder because somehow she had ended up steering where they were going.

"They sound powerful, especially the Asano girl, she killed the elders of her clan," Sasuke commented before pulling away from Naruto, removing his hands from his waist and shoulder to brood over his thoughts. 'Yep, it's them,' Naruto thought but didn't say anything. He rolled up the scrolls and handed them back to Kakashi.

Sakura removed her hand and fell into step with Kakashi, talking about the Nins they were supposed to capture. Naruto dropped back and fell into step with Sasuke, placing his arm over his shoulders.

"Are you okay?" Naruto asked, concerned.

"Yeah, thanks," Sasuke was touched by Naruto's concern and kissed him lightly when nobody was looking. "I love you," Sasuke said pulling away and smiling at the blonde.

"I love you too, if you ever need anything, even just to rant, I'm always here," Naruto kissed Sasuke's cheek lightly when he was sure no one would notice and pat Sasuke's back lightly before removing his arm.

"Thanks, I know…" Sasuke smiled at Naruto's kindness and took comfort in his presence and they reached the gate. Naruto nodded before turning his attention to something Sakura said.

"I said, we're leaving for the first time as a team since…," Sakura repeated. Naruto smiled and nodded.

"Yep! This time we'll stay a team, and we'll defeat the bad guys together!" Naruto happily exclaimed.

"So… why are you still standing there?" Sasuke asked as they walked past Naruto out of the gates and into the forest.

"Wait for me!" He yelled chasing after them.
