A/N: Review! I love Reviews! They make me smile! Anywho, don't hate me for the cliff at the end of this chappie!

Sakura awoke before Hyuga. Sitting up, she crawled out of the bed and quietly padded over to the other side of the room. She quickly changed into her new clothes, plain black. Sakura sighed at the boring design.
Neji sat up in bed rubbing his eyes. "You're so loud."
"Am not." Sakura frowned, picking up his clothes. "Get changed." Tossing them at him, they hit his face before falling onto his lap.
Neji grumbled as he stood up and removed his shirt sleepily. Sakura turned around giving him privacy, and the only chance to hide her blushing face from his sleepy gaze.
Once he was dressed, he blinked at Sakura, who was walking towards the door. "Wait."
Sakura's hand froze on the doorknob, "Yes?" She asked, staring ahead at the door.
"Just… stay close to me when we get there. I have a bad feeling about something."
Sakura gripped the doorknob so hard, she was amazed it didn't shatter beneath her hand. Throwing open the door, she stomped outside.
Neji shook his head and followed after her, closing and locking the door behind him. "Hey! Wait up!"
Sakura did not stop, she just kept stomping ahead.
"Sa-I mean, Nima! Hang on…" Neji rushed after her and grabbed her arm, causing her to stop. "Nima."
"I don't want to talk to you right now Shizu-sensei." Tugging her arm out of his hand, she continued to stomp towards the hot springs.
"What is the matter with you! Why are you acting so… so… weird?"
"I'm not acting weird." Sakura huffed.
"Then why are you doing this!" Neji asked, he had to almost jog to keep up with her.
Sakura froze when Neji's hand caught her shoulder. Slapping his hand away, she turned around and glared up at him.
Neji glared back at her, "What is wrong with you?"
Sakura placed her hands on his chest as she sighed, "You see, the thing is…" Sliding her hands up, she locked them together behind his neck, "I really, really, really don't like…" Standing on her toes, she brought her lips up to his. After a few seconds, she gently nipped his lower lip before pulling away, "…being called sloppy." Slowly letting go of him, she turned around and walked towards the hot springs.
Neji touched his lips with his hand, thinking of how much different that kiss had been from the one they shared the other night. Had she meant that one? Shaking his head, he hurried after her. "I'm sorry."
Sakura froze, her foot just behind the entrance to the hot spring. "For?"
Neji sighed as he continued, "For calling you sloppy."
A smile zoomed across Sakura's face as she turned around and walked into the hallway, Neji right behind her. Looking at the sign posted on the wall, she read it aloud. "Make sure to use bathhouse."
"Why do they want us to use a bathhouse?" Neji asked, staring at the sign.
"To wash up and store our clothes in, duh."
The look on Neji's face made Sakura burst out in laughter, he was paler then usual.
"What? You thought that we would be clothed in the hot spring? Have you ever been to one?" Taking his hand, she led him to the bathhouse.
Neji stared blankly ahead, going to a bathhouse was one thing, but going to a bathhouse, naked, with a girl, and Sakura none-the-less, that was what had him so stiff. The indecency! "I don't think that we should-"
"Sazona invited us sensei! Don't be so shy, you've seen me naked plenty of times." Sakura playfully slapped his arm. A smirk formed on her lips as she stared up at him, "Now it's my turn."
Neji blushed as he averted her gaze, making her laugh even more.
Sakura marched into the bathhouse, ignoring the surprised looks of the other male ninja's in there, some of them quickly covering themselves, others leaning against something and flashing her a suggestive smile. Sakura moved over to a corner with Neji and opened up a locker, unbuttoning her shirt, she slowly began pulling it off, receiving whistles and nasty sayings from the other occupants of the bathhouse. It was obvious that these boys were in need of a female companion. Sakura made it quite clear she was taken when she pressed up against Neji and started undoing the buckles on his pants.
Neji blushed as he removed his shirt and turned away from the glares of the other males.
Sakura finished undressing and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around her, she smiled at the other occupants in the room, making them blush, and allowing Neji to quickly wrap a towel around his waist while she wasn't looking.
Neji made a mental note to thank her for not staring at him while he was getting undressed. Placing a hand onto her small shoulder, he walked her out of the bathhouse and towards the hot springs.
Walking out of the building, and into a steamy uncovered spring, they were greeted with waves from other nukenin. Although, Neji could have sworn they were all staring at Sakura.
"Ah! There you are!" Sazona smiled as he leaned against the hot stones, letting a sigh escape his lips, he watched Sakura and Neji get into the spring with him. Most of the time, his eyes were on Sakura, who, as well as Neji, had abandoned her towel when they first got to the pool.
Sazona patted the rocks beside him, "Come. We will discuss missions for you."
Sakura sat beside him and blushed as she felt his hand wrap around her waist and bring her closer to him.
"Nima-chan, would you be a dear and pass around these drinks?" Sazona asked, pointed to the drinks beside her.
Sakura forced a smile to spread across her face, "Of course Sazona-sama." Picking up the tray, she walked around and passed out the sake to the others inside the pool. Ignoring the random gropes, she turned around and handed Sazona sake, and the last one to Neji.
"Thank you Nima-chan. I love my sake… There you are Uchiha! Did you bring me those scrolls?" Sazona asked loudly.
Sakura nearly dropped the empty platter, turning around, her green eyes widened as they locked gazes with Sasuke.

A/N: Don't mind the evil laughter in the background! Seriously! The more reviews, the faster I can type up the next chapter! What do you guys think Sakura's reaction will be? Will she get mad and blow their cover? Will she faint? Will she shrug it off and make out with Neji? What! My eye's twitching! Not winking! I would never DARE hint anything for the next chapter! (:nervous laughter:)
