Sitting with his legs bent and braced against one welded steel armrest and his back against another, Naruto decided that hospitals deliberately made their waiting rooms uncomfortable. The very colors of the room were unwelcoming! What sick person in their right mind would want to sit in a room with bleak white walls and harsh gray carpets, like the one that team seven was currently sitting in? Or the male members of team seven, at least. The effect was made worse by the periodical flickering of a florescent light bulb overhead that would soon need changing.

Naruto let out a loud moan. "Sen-SEI! When are we going to get on with our mission?"

Kakashi, leaning lazily next to the only door leading in or out of their splendid little room, kept his eyes set unblinkingly on the page of his book as he replied, "A ninja must have patience, Naruto. Tsunade is probably still outlining the test for her pupils."

Naruto glared at his teacher, even as his mouth ruined the effect by pushing the lower lip out in a childish pout. The old hag was probably the one who chose this particular waiting room for them. It was separated from the usual noisy area that most ninja and civilians alike would visit, a part of the old hospital that was being remodeled. She might have done it just to annoy him! The only sound in their room was the steady ticking of a clock somewhere in the room- Naruto hadn't bothered to locate it yet- and the occasional scrap of paper against paper when Kakashi turned the pages of his book. Both noises were magnified by the silence.

Naruto let out a frustrated sigh, throwing his head back dramatically. He absolutely HATED this- Naruto stopped and frowned as his head came into contact with something solid instead of falling back into empty air. And it stayed there while he stared at the ceiling, trying to figure out what the strange item was. Even he knew it couldn't be the other armrest, he could feel that pressing into the small of his back, much too far down to reach his head. Plus, Naruto noticed, the item was warm. And it had soft black hairs to brush against his cheek while it turned. And coal dark eyes to stare at him with.

Realization hitting him rather late, Naruto threw his upper body towards his knees, turning his head to shout over his shoulder at the no longer mysterious thing, "DAH! SASUKE!"

When the addressed boy turned around, Naruto was regarded through tired eyes that were underlined with dark circles. The Uchiha boy had really looked like he spent the night on the bridge when his teammates had arrived that morning. Naruto was almost sure he felt sorry for screeching at him, he wasn't really mad. It was a given that Sasuke had taken a seat somewhere on the row of seats behind his head. He just hadn't realized he had been so close. Naruto didn't get a reply from his teammate as the dull eyes focused on him for a long moment. Then the other boy turned back around so that he was facing the direction he was before, head dropping forward slightly as if he were trying to sleep.

Naruto let out a loud "HUMPH!" as he turned his body so that he was sitting normally in the damned uncomfortable chair. He made sure to lean as far away from his teammate as possible, not caring that it was probably just giving his sensei something to grin at. He stuck his tongue out at the other boy's back, knowing that this also would be seen by the silver-haired sensei and not the Uchiha.

The arrogant bastard had been acting strange since they met that morning! Sitting all by himself and scaring Sakura with his pasty complexion and tired voice. He wouldn't even answer her when she asked if he was feeling alright! Even now he seemed entirely unaware of the fact that he looked like he hadn't slept once all night (which really made him wonder just what Neji and he did last night).

Angling his head away from his PMS-ing teammate, Naruto forced himself to think about something else. He would be seeing Hinata again today, and that was a good thing. They hadn't had a chance to really talk about what happened last night before Sasuke showed up. She might have still been unsure about it, or maybe she didn't like it now that she had time to think, or maybe-

"Dobe," Sasuke said without turning his head, or even lifting it from his almost asleep pose.

Naruto looked unhappily over at the other boy's back. "Yeah, bastard?"

A pause. "When Tsunade comes, I'll go with Sakura." The statement was spoken quietly, forcing the blonde to come nearer in order to hear the stoic boy properly.

"Eh? What's wrong with Hinata?" Naruto shot back; it was after all, his girlfriend that the Uchiha heir was passing up. He knew that the test was coming from one of his earlier lunch dates with the white-eyed girl, meaning that he had a perfect heads-up about Tsunade planning to bring one of the Genin teams in to act as test subjects while the girls practiced the basics of the yearly physicals that Jounin had to endure. If Sasuke thought that he could just slight Hinata-

"Nothing's wrong with her." Sasuke said, sounding bored as he looked at the lint on the hem of his shorts. He was sitting in a manner very similar to what Naruto had been doing before putting his head on the other boy's shoulder. Accidentally, of course. "I'd just rather have Sakura examine me."

Naruto couldn't resist taunting him; it was so boring being locked up in an empty room with the only door guarded by a Jounin who would probably knock him unconscious if he got up. "Oh, you want to have one of your fangirls to fawn over you and tell you how fit you are?"

Sasuke's back tensed, whether from what Naruto had said or from the fact that the blonde had drawn himself closer so that his words could be felt on the other's neck. When Sasuke responded, Naruto could clearly hear the restraint in his voice. "Look, dobe, I don't want your girlfriend touching me, okay?"

Naruto stayed in his position behind the other boy's head. Being Naruto, he chose to ignore the warning in Sasuke's voice. Instead of backing down, he said, "You didn't just SNEER when you said that, Sasuke?"

Sasuke didn't say anything.

"What, has she offended the great Uchiha somehow?" Then he stopped for a minute. Naruto thought over the past few days, and then the raven-haired boy's actions on that first day he and Hinata go together... "You know..." he said thoughtfully, "you never told me why you attacked her team. It's almost like...you don't like her." If the back of the raven-haired ninja's neck suddenly stiffening meant anything, Naruto had just hit something. "That's it! You don't like Hinata!"

Still, Sasuke sat and ignored his teammate. From a side profile, one could see that his eyebrows were pointed toward his nose in a glare.

Naruto, from his position, could not see this. He rambled on with his questions, thinking that this at least, gave him something to do other than stare at the wall. "Why do you hate her, Sasuke? Why don't you just say it if you do? It's better than pretending to like her like a stupid snob! Sasuke? Are you listening to me? SASUKE!"

The last word in the blonde's rant was said when the addressed boy spun around, a red-eyed glare fixed onto his face as he leaned in over the armrest. "You want me to say it!" he gritted out in a low voice. Naruto's face was just inches from his own. "Fine. Naruto, I fucking HATE your girlfriend! Happy?"

Sasuke's breath was fanning Naruto's cheek, and he knew that his eyes must have pulled their lids inside his skull by now. Still, Sasuke was coming closer. The scarlet orbs were boring into his own, and he noted absently that they didn't look angry anymore. The Uchiha boy was now looking at him much more...intimately. A small sound escaped him when Naruto felt the paler boy's nose just brush his cheek. He could have kicked himself! After all that effort he put into not shaking, or leaning back away from his teammate, Naruto had to go and blow his cover by mewing like some wounded kitten.

Sasuke seemed to take this as a show of hurt, or shock, or something. He sank back down into his seat, still watching Naruto's face. His mouth opened, but before the words could come the door opened and Sakura and Hinata came into the room with Tsunade leading them. Sakura's eyes shot directly to Sasuke, already imagining her raven-haired crush in the little room that she would be using to test her skills as a nurse for hours on end... Hinata was standing a little behind the other two females, face flushed from the instructions of what she had to do.

Before the Hokage turned to either of the two boys, she looked over to Kakashi, who was all but forgotten in his place by the door. Naruto fought the urge to yell when he noticed that their teacher's one eye was trained on them, and likely had been for awhile. Kakashi's mask moved as his voice came through it, slightly muffled and indifferent to whatever he had seen. "Sakura goes with Naruto. Sasuke's with Hinata."

kkkkkkkkkk

The sessions went by quickly. Neither of the two male ninjas protested at the ice in their sensei's words for their own reasons. Sasuke was sure that for Naruto it had been to smite him. For Sasuke...it had been because the moment his teacher had stopped speaking, two innocent white eyes locked onto his face with a nervous, but friendly smile. He hadn't been able to meet the girl's eyes once through the entire session. He listened to Hinata stutter and knew that she blushed when she took samples from his body and asked him to remove certain articles of clothing so that she could check his muscles and bones and whatever bruises he had from his last spar. Then she had to stop to ask if he had a fever when his face flushed at the question, "Any stiffness or sore places?" Naruto was right; she really was a sweet girl. She was especially respectful of his privacy, turning her back on him while he undressed until he said that it was alright for her to look, which he knew was more than he could have expected of some females.

When he met up with Naruto again afterward, they spent a moment in silence until their teacher told them that they had one more mission that would probably keep them until late. And of course, since Sakura's test had only just begun with the data she had collected on her blonde haired teammate, she was to be excused for the rest of the day.

Their mission was an easy one: help out at a charity dinner across town because the usual staff was going on strike. It was actually the kind of assignment that Naruto would whine about. Perhaps Kakashi had been surprised when the announcement was accepted quietly by both boys. That could have been why he chose to teleport ahead rather than escort his students from one part of town to the other. Sasuke himself would have likely been the last person to arrive at the restaurant if Naruto had just decided to take the roof tops like a normal ninja. He'd been surprised when he sensed the blonde trailing after him as he slowly started walking down the street in the restaurants direction.

He decided that it was a good sign.

Turning around to see how far behind his teammate was from him, Sasuke supposed that he was thankful for the distance between them. Last night...Sasuke shivered...last night was still replaying in his mind. Over and over, that moment when he should have gone...Naruto had given him several chances to walk away without revealing himself, and even if he hadn't, a good ninja should have been able to deceive his enemy.

...But most ninjas weren't teenagers dealing with hormones. And most ninja's didn't have bouncy, happy targets with golden hair, and delicious tasting skin...

Naruto caught up to Sasuke easily, him not being hindered by the fact that certain parts of his body that would have no business being pained by movement mysteriously were. The blonde refused to look in Sasuke's direction, pointedly keeping his attention focused in the opposite direction as he walked beside him. Sasuke considered letting him walk into a streetlamp.

Maybe he had gone a little over board in the waiting room. It wasn't that he was annoyed when Naruto started prompting him for an argument. Hadn't he been hoping for just that only a few days ago? He just got...angrier than usual. He didn't really know why he said what he did...it wasn't really true. Sasuke had no reasons to hate Hinata. She was just too little a part of his life to be noticed.

Sasuke half-wondered what the results of his physical would be. He felt that that clench in his chest would definitely have to show up in at least ONE of the tests the Hyuuga girl had taken.

He really was going to have a hard time apologizing to the dobe though. At least Naruto hadn't had a chance to blab to Hinata about his little explosion yet. Or worse, to her cousin.

As if the same gods that had taken control of Sasuke's fate that day at the flower shop had decided to renew their interest in his life, when the two ninja rookies arrived at the restaurant they were informed that, naturally, other genin teams had been sent to help with the same mission. The teachers of said teams were lazily lounging around one large circular table near the front door. As Sasuke and Naruto passed by on their way to the kitchen, their eyes swept over the familiar instructors. There was Kakashi, leaning back in his chair with his book held in front of his face. Kurenai, politely smiling as the third teacher talked. The third teacher...Sasuke was sure his blood dropped in temperature at the sight of green-clad arms frantically gesturing in key with an energetic voice that could only belong to Gai. In other words, Neji's instructor.

Sasuke heard someone close by utter "Eep!" Naruto stared at him while Sasuke looked around to see who could have possibly made such a childish, fear-reavling noise. But before Sasuke could even come to terms with his currently fleeting composure, a rough hand closed on his elbow, mercilessly jerking him back into motion. Naruto's voice sounded, "Jeeze, teme, can't you stay awake for five minutes?"

Inside the kitchen it was humid. The sound of foods sizzling, pots clanging, and occasional yelling from one cook to another overwhelmed the senses of anyone stupid enough to enter. And yet, one sound was still heard by the fox demon-holder upon entering...

"I TOLD YOU, BUGS CAN'T COME IN HERE!"

"Kiba!" the orange-clad ninja standing at Sasuke's elbow bolted forward so suddenly he almost thought that he would be knocked over. Unfortunately, the brilliant blonde must have forgotten that he was still holding onto his teammate's hand, thus pulling him into the kitchen with him when he set off in search of the dog-lover. He went straight through the crowd to a second set of doors across the tile-floored cook area where the voice had come from. How Naruto was able to hear the other ninja could likely be credited to the fact that the dog-boy must be mad as hell about something.

The swinging doors were easily pushed aside as Naruto pulled Sasuke through with him into a narrow hallway. The first thing that came to mind upon exiting the doors was that the roar from the kitchen dimmed enough for normal voices to be used. The second was the amount of space in the area, which he was forced to acknowledge when his blonde dobe abruptly stopped moving to avoid crashing into Kiba. Unfortunately, the blonde had forgotten to leave enough room for Sasuke, resulting with his body crashing into Naruto's, causing a domino reaction that sent the idiot crashing into the side of his friend anyway. The Inuzuka had been standing in front of the doors, apparently blocking them from the object of his fury, one bug-loving Shino. Upon being hit by the blonde member of team seven, Kiba was pushed forward, his face making connact with the other's forehead. Shino was pinned against the wall by the brunette's body.

Sasuke and Naruto were the first to draw back, leaving the other two boys to fumble around one another until they could stand up right on their own. Sasuke was keenly aware that the resukts of the last time Shino and Kiba had seen him was still a cause of discomfort between the two. Luckily for him, Kiba's attention fastened on the more brightly colored intruder. God bless orange.

"Hey, Naruto!" Kiba was saying even before he regained his balance. "You guys have the same mission?"

"Yeah..." Naruto had to stand on tip-toe to peer over the brunette's shoulder. "Hey, is Hinata here?"

Kiba and Shino exchanged a look- that knowing look that drove Sasuke mad whenever the blonde was connected to it. Before either of them could talk though, Sasuke spoke up with, "Dobe, she's still taking the test with Sakura."

Perhaps making his presence known had not been the best idea since the moment the two members of ninja team eight landed on the Uchiha, their glares returned. After all, he was the one who had caused the "incident." Other than the clenching of his fist, Naruto didn't even respond. Sasuke had forgotten that Naruto was still angry at him because of his earlier outburst, meaning that he now stood in a very narrow space with three ninjas who were anything but shy about their dislike for him. Well, wasn't that wonderful. All that was needed now to make this moment PERFECT would be to add one more person-

As if on cue, the doors opened again when a pale hand pushed at the opposite side. Then an equally sun-deprived long haired head poked into the narrow passage way to sweep over its occupants with a pale set of eyes. Both Kiba and Shino were spared having to endure more than two seconds under the gaze, while Naruto's face was studied avidly from eye to scars. Sasuke wasn't surpised when the Hyuuga did the same to him, though he lacked the same markings. Perhaps he was trying to decided if it was really Sasuke and not some clone there to distract everyone while the original went running around ruining his cousin's reputation.

But that was just silly, wasn't it?

"Someone needs to set the tables," Neji said in a monotone voice. When he let the door swing shut behind him, the white-eyed boy seemed to be completely unaffected by the lack of space when he stepped into the already crowded hallway. Sasuke thought that it might have because of two reasons. One was the look on his face that clearly said Move-Now-Because-Whatever-Touches-Me-Gets-Removed so that even Naruto was able to read it. The other was that Neji's glare was fixed solely on the Uchiha, enough so that the others present knew not to say anything to either of them. Well…maybe Naruto didn't notice the latter.

Sasuke found himself staring at the back of Neji's head when he allowed himself to be shuffled down the hallway with Kiba, Shino, and Naruto. He hadn't wanted to see Neji so soon after last night. Although, avoiding him throughout the entire mission would have been as pointless as trying to avoid Naruto, but still, if he were left alone...

The tables were set out under a high domed ceiling in the same room where the teachers were still seated. Neji didn't need to ask where the table clothes were kept, possibly from the use of his Byakugan, but since the white eyed boy was in the lead no one could tell. Neji opened a small cabinet nearly hidden in the intricate design carved on the walls, where the table clothes were kept. While he handed the linens to Shino and Kiba, Sasuke stepped forward and felt further along the wall until he found another compartment containing the glasses and silverware.

Other than Kiba's occasional muttering, there was no sound while the tables were set. Each table required two linens, one white and the other a deep scarlet. Shino went to one table first, and then Kiba quickly came after him. But because of their hostile mood towards each other, and maybe with a suggestion or two from the room's only blond occupant, Shino began trying to go faster and faster to watch his teammate struggle to keep up. As a result there were more than enough tables for each to have only one ninja working on it. Neji to set out the silverware, Sasuke to place glasses, and Naruto to put down plates. This fact alone was more than enough reason to make Sasuke suspicious when he turned around to fetch more glasses from the cabinet and found Neji working at the same table as Naruto.

The two were working on opposite sides, slowly coming closer to each other. Neji, arranged the eating utensils, took a step to the next seat and did it again. The same went for the blonde. Step by step, they were getting closer and closer...

Sasuke half ran to get more glasses, knowing that no one was watching him move. He hadn't needed to worry though. Neither of the two had started talking by the time he came back and went to the table behind, despite the fact that the table already had a perfectly good set of wine and water glasses. When one of his targets finally spoke, Sasuke was pretending to whip a spot off a short water glass, frowning more out of frustration than effort.

"Purple roses."

Neji's voice was so low while he said the two word sentence. He might have known that Sasuke was behind him and tried to keep him from listening in. But, there was also a strong chance that the dobe hadn't heard clearly either. Or thought that he was mumbling something to himself, the poor Hyuuga wasn't exactly known for having healthy mental habits. Then Naruto spoke back.

"What about them?"

"They're Hinata's favorites." Neji kept his head facing downward, his attention seemingly focused on the silverware arrangement to anyone who would look his way. "She usually leaves the hospital around six-thirty. If you go now you can catch her outside the Yamanaka's shop."

Sasuke froze. He was leaning over to look as if he were placing a glass on the table, the said glass still held in his hand. How did Neji know Hinata's schedule?

"But I've got to stay here!" a whiny voice said, too loudly because all three of the Jounin sitting at the table by the entrance turned to stare. Naruto didn't seem to notice, he just held a plate in his hands with a disappointed look on his face.

Neji, at least, had the sense to wait until the teachers returned to whatever it was that they had been doing, before he leaned over and irritably hissed, "Go into the kitchen and make a clone, then leave through the back door."

Sasuke glared at the flower arrangement. Vaguely, he was aware of the grip his hand had taken on the glass. Perhaps one of the jourin had noticed him standing virtually motionless at an already stocked table, and wondered just what was so terrible about one single glass.

"That could work..." Naruto siad behind him. Sasuke wanted to turn around and slap him for no sensible reason at all. Why wasn't he wondering about Neji?

"No one will notice you're gone. Just go now."

"You won't tell anyone?" Naruto said softly. Sasuke couldn't see if Neji nodded or not. The white-eyed boy might not have even had a chance to between the question and the shouted "SASUKE!"

Suddenly Sasuke lost view of the flowers and the half set table, and found himself staring at wide blue eyes. There were two rough hands holding onto him by the wrist, pushing up the white detachable sleeve. Instinctively, Sasuke tried to jerk away from the contact. It was the first time they'd touched since...he wasn't going to think about that on a mission! Unfortunately, the dobe was holding onto him with an iron grip, growling at him about broken glass and stupid bastards and telling him to stop trying to get away. Whatever it was that held Naruto's attention, Sasuke couldn't see it. There was a blonde head of hair blocking his view.

"Stupid, stupid teme! Sakura's gonna kill me when she-"

"Naruto," Neji's voice cut through the blonde's rambling with the same tone it had used the night before to shoo him away from the ally. Both Sasuke and Naruto felt compelled to look at him. "Why don't you take Sasuke into the kitchen before he bleeds to death on the carpet?" Neji's eyes focused distastefully where Naruto was holding him, and Sasuke again tried to look at whatever it was that Naruto was fussing about. When he turned his head though, he was confronted by a bright smile suddenly on his teammates face.

"What are you-" Sasuke started but was forced to stop when Naruto spun around, still holding his hand, and started dragging him toward the kitchen. Again. Twisting around, he saw Neji leaning over the table where Sasuke had been working, picking up tiny shards of...glass? "Naruto?" Sasuke made sure that he grabbed onto the blonde shoulder with his free hand when they entered the dark little hallway. This way he could push the dobe away from him while he pulled his captive hand free. The blonde's head turned to look over his shoulder at the sound of his name, and then became stern when Sasuke tried to carry out his plan. It worked...but also brought the sudden realization that Sasuke's hand HURT.

Looking at it, Sasuke's eye bulged when they fell on a dripping, bloody palm still wrapped around the remains of what was once a perfectly cut crystal glass. What the hell?

Still surprised, Sasuke didn't protest when Naruto again took his wrist and tugged him along after him. They went back into the kitchen, where they were ignored by the regular staff. It took him several moments to realize that rather than looking for the sink to clean the hand up in, Naruto was looking for the back door that the Hyuuga boy had mentioned. His feet promptly stopped moving.

Naruto tried to continue dragging him, but had to stop when Sasuke again made to pull back his hand. Stubbornly refusing to let go, Naruto was instead pulled closer to the other boy until they were standing nearly chest-to-chest. Naruto glared up at the stoic face. "Sasu-KE! I'm in a hurry!"

Sasuke decided to ignore the whine. "I don't think you should go."

"Well, I DO!"

"We're on a mission."

Naruto switched tactics. Instead of glaring, he put on a pout. "But if no one tells Kakashi…" The blonde abandoned his sentence when his teammate crossed his arms over his chest, in the process tucking his hand under them. He was reminded for a minute of their spar the day before. "C'mon! I'll be right back!" Naruto had to inch a little closer when one of the cooks had to pass them with a pot filled with some steaming liquid. The Uchiha could have at least waited until they were out of the middle of the kitchen before deciding to be his normal pain-in-the-ass self.

Sasuke tensed a little when the blonde's form brushed against his own. Shit, when did he get so close? Forcing his attention away from the blue eyes staring up at him, Sasuke tried to remember exactly what had set him off balance earlier. "I...don't think you should listen to Neji."

"Why not?" Naruto said, glaring up at him still. Sasuke tried to think of a suitable reason, but most of the ones that came to mind weren't convincing without including...he wasn't allowed to think about that now. Even if the blonde was pressed really close to him in a crowded room...

Sasuke heard a dramatic sigh from below him and felt the tight grip on his now throbbing hand disappear. His teammate stepped away from him, hands performing the seals to make his clone, just like Neji said.

He's going to go see her again. As Naruto turned to go, Sasuke reach for his collar, only to be rudely reminded that his hand was cut and bleeding. The clone grabbed a hold of it and dragged him to the sink before he could follow his dobe to the back door. Watching the copy carefully pick the pieces of glass out of his sliced hand, Sasuke's mind fumed. It just occurred to him that Naruto might have thought that he'd broken the glass on purpose to give an excuse to go into the kitchen. Neji had certainly not hesitated to make it seem like he had. Stupid dobe! Why didn't he question Neji! He had NO RIGHT to just walk away and leave him-

Kami, now he sounded like a pregnant wife! (A/N:snicker:)

His annoyance did not leave him when the dinner started and still there was no sign of Naruto returning. Whenever he passed the clone, he would whisper under his breath and activate his Sharingan just for the purpose of checking. Once he thought that Kakashi had seen him, but when the instructor showed no signs of acknowledging the clone, Sasuke assumed that he had been mistaken. Kiba probably wouldn't have noticed the blonde's disappearance, even if he weren't distracted throughout the evening. A copy as well done as Naruto's would have had the same smell as the original, wouldn't it? Shino was sharp enough to figure it out, Sasuke thought, if he weren't too busy trying to find ways to make his teammate trip while carrying large trays of food. Neji, of course, didn't care, and the other members of his team didn't seem to notice either. Tenten and Lee spent the night helping out the kitchen staff and probably hadn't even seen the blonde once since they came in. Sasuke was forced to admit that his teammate was playing hooky, and he was likely going to get away with it.

When the dobe finally DID come back, the dinner guests had already left, leaving nothing but the clean up for the Genin teams. Sasuke was out picking up the dishes from one of the round tables when he heard the doors open. Naruto came in casually, for the world as if he HADN'T run off at the beginning of the mission, and worse yet, with his pretty little girlfriend hanging off his arm.

Sasuke decided to put the plates down for a moment before he broke something again. The dobe could have at least tried to switch places with his clone without getting caught. But then again, this was Naruto he was talking about. The part of his mind that was sensible was so small it was likely drowned out by the part that decided to just run along with whatever Neji suggested.

Picking up his plates again, Sasuke hurried into the kitchen to drop them off with Lee and Tenten, who were still yet to have left the kitchen. They could wash the plates for him. Even if being anywhere near a white-eyed individual made him sick, Sasuke still didn't want to risk the dobe yapping about...things that Hinata should not know about.

kkkkkkkkkkkkk

A/N: sigh This chapter was definitely the hardest one for me to write. Even I think it came out…boring. I'm sorry if I put any of you to sleep or made you pull your hair out and say "Why am I reading this story?"

Speaking of which…Who's ready to shoot me? This is a yoai story and there hasn't even been a boy-boy kiss yet! (Well, not one that both participants knew was boy-boy). I promise that I'll try and get on in the next chapter, or if not then, chapter eight. Please don't hurt me if you review :hides from the computer screen:

There will also b e month's time skip in chapter eight, just because...you know, Sasuke's probably not gonna notice that he's pregnant in the first few weeks. The most I put into this chapter was a hint of mood swings and clinginess. Not sure of those really show though. ;
