A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews! I'm so glad that at least a few people are interested in the fic. This is my first fic, so you guys are great at encouraging me to continue. Any input to the story would be greatly appreciated. The readers I have so far are cool!

I'm just editting it and waiting for some feedback via the reviews that you guys or livejournal give me.

Chapter 6: Chance Meeting?

Avian Village

A sheikh with his arms around two beautiful consorts entered the village with a man in black following. The four entered a beautiful looking building with a sign reading "The Flower Garden" over the door way.

The sheikh looked at his broody advisor. I swear, he fits the role perfectly. "Fuji, is this the place where the pretty ladies are?"

Fuji looked at him. "Yes, Hirose-sama."

Hirose looked at his two companions respectively. "Chima-chan, Saho-chan, what do you think?"

Saho flicked back her blond hair and batted her eyelashes. "It's perfect Hirose-sama."

Chima just shyly giggled behind her hand. "It's pretty Hirose-sama."

Going the desk Hirose smiled sexily at the woman. "Hello madam, I believe you are expecting us?"

The woman looked at each person, her eyes lingering on the dark man in back. "You must be here to see Rika. I believe you will be staying for a month?"

Hirose smiled and nodded. "We have business to attend to."

The woman picked up a set of keys and led the party to the topmost room on the third level. "This will be your room. Please enjoy your stay."

Hirose thanked the woman as s he left. Looking around, he let out an appreciative whistle. The room was essentially the expanse of the entire third floor. One luxurious king sized bed was in the center with a lace drape around the bed. The room included the traditional setting for eating and a designated sitting area with large, fluffy looking armchairs. "Well, this will be comfortable. Chima-chan, why don't you look around. Saho-chan, make yourself comfortable. Fuji, check that we have everything we need. I'll get dressed into something more comfortable. I see we have a bath, shall we all take one together?" He winked at his companions.

"Naruto!" Sakura yelled at him in a nice shade of red. "The area has been sealed momentarily, no one can hear us."

Sasuke, also an equal red, started to close the window covers and took off his traveling cloak. "I sense no chakra signatures."

Ino was just entering the room. "I didn't see anyone resembling Satake. And there are no genjitsus."

Naruto flopped on the bed. "Ahh, this outfit is hot! Damn Sasuke, aren't you hot in that? Your face is all red."

Sasuke threw off his hood and face covering. "Hn. You chose it, why are you complaining about the disguises."

Sakura and Ino were slowly putting on yukatas around themselves. The pink haired woman glared at Naruto. "At least you guys don't have skin showing scandalously and have dirty old men staring and ogling you.

Sasuke snorted. "Welcome to my world."

Ino looked incredulously at him and started to laugh. "I can't believe it! After all these years, hearing him make a joke is still surprising."

Naruto laughed. "Yeah, but isn't it refreshing? Anyways, why don't you ladies clean up first? It looks like the bath is ready. Don't worry; it's behind a barrier, so we won't see. Of course, if you want us to see, I can't say I mind."

Ino threw the yukata in his face. "Sakura, let's go." Leaving the two boys at one end of the room, the two made it to the bath.

Sitting Room

Naruto looked at Sasuke. "Sorry about the costume, your face was in all the Bingu books, so I had to choose something that covers your face. Not like you'd be bothered. At least now the ladies and guys won't ogle you right away." Naruto smirked. "Now they'll be ogling me. Hmm, but seeing what you go through, I'm not sure I want to go through that."

Sasuke smirked as well. "You have your own fan-girl club too now, did you know?"

Naruto smiled. "Yeah whatever. I see why you don't go for those girls…or guys…though. Scary."

The two amiably sat in silence, Naruto looking around the room and Sasuke simply meditating.

Sitting Room – One hour later

"Okay! That feels great! I didn't think I'd ever get the sand out of my hair." Ino came sauntering into the room to see a nice scene. Naruto was snoozing on the sofa sprawled out. Sasuke was sitting cross-legged on the floor in a seemingly meditative stance, except for the fact that his head was sloping towards the other man. Sasuke was asleep. Neither woke up when Ino entered. How cute! Those two should get together. I'll work on it after the mission. But first thing first, I have to work with Sakura. She doesn't seem to be over Sasuke yet. I'll talk to Shikamaru about it.

"My, I love leisurely baths." Sakura came in and looked at the scene. "Oh." Wow, they look really cute. I wish I had my camera!

Naruto stirred. He turned over and promptly fell off of the sofa onto the Uchiha. Both awake from their slumber, started to blink and get a hold of their surroundings. Naruto, realizing his position, jumped off the raven-haired man. "Umm, sorry about that Sasuke. Well, at least we're awake now." Sasuke, just comprehending the situation, quirked his eyebrow. Ino could have sworn that he was a little more pink.

Sasuke looked at the two women and nodded. "Finished?"

Sakura laughed. "Yeah. You two can take a bath now."

Naruto got his clothes and jumped up and headed for the bath. "Finally, a nice shower and bath. You two took forever! After this, let's go around town. Thankfully the other disguises I brought us are a lot better than our traveling gear."

Gathering his toiletries, Sasuke headed for the bathing area. "Speak for yourself Dobe. I still have to wear essentially the same thing."

Naruto stuck his tongue out. "At least I got you a blue one with lighter material. So don't complain."

The two women looked at each other. Ino was the first to respond. "My Naruto, who would have thought you, would know so much about clothing. After those atrocious orange things you wear, I thought you would be a fashion disaster. This second disguise for me and Sakura are a lot more tasteful than the first. Thank goodness."

Sakura took out her red colored pants that billowed out. "Very much better than the traveling. Why did we have to travel in the skimpy outfits?"

Naruto scratched his head and was about to enter the baths. "Oh, I just wanted to see you two ladies in a sexy outfit, other than that, no reason."

Sakura and Ino both took a step towards the man about to tear his head off, but Naruto disappeared behind the barrier. Throwing his clothes over it to indicate his nudity and thus hindering both women in the chase.

Avian Village Market

The four made their way to the market. Chima and Saho were looking at fabrics with Hirose, who was laughing and flirting with all in the area. In the back, following the other three, Fuji scowled at the sheikh. Within the fabric shop, a man and his companion spotted the four. Sensing eyes on the back of his head, Naruto casually started laughing and looked in the direction of the looker. Blue eyes sparkled in merriment when he spotted the man and his companion. Giving a lopsided grin he walked over to the couple and started flirting with both.

"Hello there. I'm Hirose. Who might you two be? Such beautiful creatures need to have more companions."

The girl with purple hair smiled at the tall man addressing her. "I am Kitami."

The man looked up at the blue-eyed man appreciatively. "I am Satake."

Hirose put on a beatific smile and placed a hand on Satake's shoulder. "I am Hirose. Why don't you two join use for some…leisurely activities? We are just visiting this village in search of more companions. You two would be perfect, well, along with Rika."

Satake looked from Hirose to his other companions. Fuji glared at him; Chima glanced at him before looking down; and Saho looked at him and smiled sexily.

Satake smiled back, looking at Naruto and licking his lips he replied, "It would be a pleasure to join you four. I have a feeling that we can have some fun."
