A/N: Sorry for the long delay folks. Been busy as all hell. Hope you guys are sticking with me and didn't assume this story was abandoned.
"Okay, what about this?" Anko asked, emerging from the changing room. Naruto, with his chin still resting in his palm, looked up at his lover, who changed into a pair of insanely tight black leather pants that almost looked like leggings, a small black leather jacket, worn over a fishnet shirt and a purple midriff t-shirt that showcased her impressive abdominal area, and a pair of open-toed 4-inch heels, exposing the purple nail polish painted over her toenails.
She did a full 360 to give Naruto a glimpse of everything. The leather pants hugged her lower body, and Naruto watched as her butt jiggled a bit when she turned. And the purple shirt did the same for her breasts, as the collar exposed a fair amount of cleavage. Not enough to make one assume that she'd perform felatio any guy that'd pay her 3000 ryo, but enough to let others know that she's aware of the amount of sex appeal her body was blessed with.
Despite how appealing she looked in that outfit, Naruto's facial expression remained unchanged, "You look like a cross between a biker chick and a stripper."
A vein popped out in the back of Anko's head, "...Excuse me?"
Naruto quickly bit his tongue, "N-Not in a, you know, bad kind of way... Just... really sexy and... those clothes are really tight, so..."
Anko gave him one last leer before turning around to face the mirror, "Eh, I guess you're right. These pants were a pain in the ass to get into. A little too whore-ish for my tastes, roespecially with these heels." She then struck a small casual pose in the mirror, "I could make it work if I wanted to though."
"No offense Anko, but that outfit seems more suited for the bedroom, if anything..."
She turned her head and peeked at him though the corner of her eye, a smirk on her lips, "If that's the case, I might buy it then... just for us."
Naruto tried not to blush, "Ah, hehe... You know, that's probably the tenth outfit you've shown me today."
"Your point being?"
"I've never really took you for the 'shopping spree' kind of woman."
Anko snorted, "I'm not. However, I like to look good, and every now and then I'll look for some clothes that'll help me do that."
"...But you always wear the same thing everyday." Naruto mumbled, scratching his head, "In fact, we all do. I don't understand why we don't wear different outfits everyday like normal people. Like, what is the point of us even being in this store?"
"You're not supposed to break the fourth wall, genius." Anko mumbled lowly, giving him a quick glance while she continued looking in the mirror. "You know how the author feels about that."
"I'm just saying." Naruto hummed. "Anyway, are you done yet? I love looking at you try on these clothes, but we've been here for almost an hour."
"Yeah, we're just about done. I'm getting hungry anyway." She said, entering back into the dressing room.
"Me too. You should let me take you out for some ramen!"
A snort was heard inside the dressing room, as the black leather jacket was thrown over the top of the door, "You and ramen. If I didn't know better, I'd think you'd love that ramen more than me."
"...Um..."
The door to the changing room opened, and a small purple t-shirt was chucked at Naruto's face at impressive speeds.
Naruto chuckled as the door closed. He grabbed the article of clothing off his face, "I'm just kidding, Anko."
"Better be."
He laughed again, "Heh, but seriously, you've never been on a date with me to my favorite ramen bar the entire time we've been dating, and I think you're past due."
"We've only been dating for a couple of days, Naruto." she said, tossing the leather pants over the changing door along with the matching jacket.
"Still. It's about time I take you there."
"If that's really what your heart desires, Naruto-kun." She sighed semi-sarcastically, yet playfully. "Yes, you can take me out to Ichiraku's after this."
"Awesome!" Anko could see the big grin on his face without even looking at him, "You're gonna love it!"
"I've had Ichiraku's before, knucklehead." Anko told him, "Ichiraku's has been around since before you were born. That old man Teuchi has been in the business ever since I can remember."
Naruto almost made a comment about forgetting how much older Anko was than himself, but wisely chose not to vocalize it, "So don't you love it!?"
Anko chuckled, "I'm not a huge fan of ramen like you, sorry. I don't mind eating it but my heart will always stick with my dango."
"Well that takes the fun out of it..." Naruto pouted, "I was hoping you've never tried it so I can see your reaction to you trying it for the first time."
"Tough titties." Anko shrugged, "So do you still want to go or not?"
"Of course I still wanna go!"
Anko laughed under her breath and shook her head, "Alright, Naruto-kun. It's a date."
Anko and Naruto then left the store and began heading to Naruto's favorite dining location.
"Hey, Naruto." Anko said to him out of the blue.
"Hm?"
"Do you enjoy looking at my ass?"
Needless to say, Naruto had not yet gotten used to not knowing what to expect when a question was about to come out her mouth, "Huh?!"
Anko smirked, "I said, you like looking at my ass, right? Does it appeal to those cerulean eyes lodged in your head?"
"Well, uh, yeah?" He hesitantly replied. He still wasn't used to having someone he can be this open with, and had to remind himself that he wouldn't get smacked for saying yes to a question like that.
Or maybe he would, knowing Anko. Even a psychic would call her unpredictable.
Her spontaneousness was demonstrated to Naruto again once she suddenly started running from him.
"So why not just enjoy the view while you eat my dust?" She yelled back at him with a wild grin spread across her face. Naruto smirked and chased after her, initiating their promised rematch they made before they became romantically involved.
"Nice way to build up an appetite, I guess." Naruto thought as he started gaining on Anko. The purple-haired Jounin chuckled as she sensed Naruto catching up to her, and began to accelerate even faster. People gasped and cursed at the couple playing tag as they swiftly ran through the crowded sidewalk. But they didn't care. They were having the time of their lives.
Anko soon decided to take to the rooftops, getting tired of having to maneuver around other people. Naruto followed suit, and kept on her tail.
He then grinned when an idea popped into his head. His flailing arms that were dragged by the wind on either side of his body were brought together, as his hands formed a familiar cross-fingered hand seal, "Kage-Bunshin no Jutsu!"
Two shadow clones poofed into existence on either side of him. Him and the two clones then jumped into the air simultaneously, with each clone grabbing either of his arms. Then, with all their strength, they launched Naruto forward, sling-shooting him toward the running Anko down below. Anko sensed this coming, and jumped just before Naruto was about to grab her. Unfortunately enough, this caused Naruto to crash into the floor of the rooftop. As if his luck weren't bad enough, the inertia from him being launched caused him to roll after he hit the floor, straight off the edge of the building, into an alleyway, where he landed ass-first into a pile of garbage cans.
"Urgh..." Naruto groaned as he held his pulsing head. He was thankful he made his hands break his fall before he hit the floor of the rooftop, as opposed to landing face-first.
"Sloppy. Really sloppy." Anko shook her head disappointingly down at him from the edge of the building. "You gotta do way better than that, baby. And just know that I'm not going anywhere with you if you're smelling like that."
"I really loathe you sometimes, you know that?"
"Of course I do. You wouldn't be with me otherwise." she said flirtatiously before blowing him a kiss and running off in another direction.
Naruto struggled to get up and cleaned off as much garbage off of him as possible. He then jumped up to the rooftops and looked around.
"Dammit, don't tell me I lost her." he grumbled to himself. He then went off to in a random direction, hoping he would stumble across his wild girlfriend again.
After a few minutes of searching, he sensed movement within his peripheral vision. He turned his head, and sure enough spotted Anko running in the adjacent direction from him.
"Hah! Gotch-!"
Unfortunately enough for him, since he had his eyes locked on Anko while he jumped rooftop to rooftop, he hadn't watched where he was going and ended up crashing into something. As a result, he was knocked out of the air and fell into another alleyway. Thankfully, one with no garbage cans.
"Shit..." Naruto groaned. This whole chase was starting to give him one big headach-
"Oww... What the hell..."
Naruto opened his eyes and saw that instead of running into something, he ran into someone. And not just any someone.
"Yugito...?" Naruto called out to the woman who fell 10 feet away from him onto her stomach. The two-tailed Jinchuuriki slowly rolled over and sat up, giving Naruto a death stare.
"Hey, you moron, why not watch where you're going?!" She groaned in frustration. Before Naruto could even apologize, she quickly stood on her feet. "Shit, I hope I didn't lose them." she said under her breath.
Before Yugito had a chance to take off, Naruto grabbed her by the wrist, "Lose who? Where are you going?" he questioned.
Yugito looked back at him, "Naruto let go of me!" She whisper-shouted at him with a look of seriousness he didn't think she could make. When they first met, her expressions were always calm and somewhat playful. Now, she seemed stern and unhumorous.
She yanked her arm back in hopes of getting it free, but Naruto's grip was locked tight, "Where are you going, Yugito?" He repeated, now matching her sense of seriousness.
She continued to yank her arm, but to no avail, "Let go, Naruto! I can't tell you!"
By the way he could tell she was hiding something and her sense of urgency, he had a feeling she somehow shook of the ANBU's surveillance, "Tell me or I'll report you to the Hokage."
She stopped her movements and looked at him, shocked, "You wouldn't."
"I would." he replied with a straight face, "Talk."
She sighed, "Can you at least let go of my arm?"
"Nope. I'm not as dumb as you think." he said, "You're not trying to escape, are you?"
She sighed again, "If I tell you, you can't tell anyone else, got it?"
Naruto nodded.
She contemplated lying to him, but wasn't sure how good he was at seeing through people, "I'm not exactly trying to escape. I'm trying to catch up to this team in this village that I found out was going out on a mission to kill those 'Akatsuki' members that almost killed me. I was going to follow them and get some revenge of my own by killing them myself."
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "Why would you...? Does revenge really mean that much to you?"
"You wouldn't understand." Yugito grunted, "Anyway, I told you. Now let go of me."
Naruto hesitantly let go of the woman's wrist. He expected her to immediately run off in the other direction, but instead just stood there. Looking at him.
She took a step toward him, "...I have to be sure that you won't tell anybody."
Before he had any time to react, Yugito lunged toward him, grabbed the back of his head, and crashed his lips into her own.
Naruto's eyes shot open in shock, while hers were closed. His awe and confusion had paralyzed him, giving Yugito just enough time to sneak her tongue in his mouth. After he heard a slight moan travel into his mouth, he managed to build enough strength to push the other blonde away, accidentally groping her breasts as he did it. Their lips abruptly separated with a wet 'smack!', and Naruto found his heartbeat accelerating.
"Wh-What the hell are you doing?!" He shouted with more confusion than anger.
Yugito wiped her lips from their combined saliva and gave a small smirk, "You tell anyone about what I told you, and I'll tell your weird girlfriend that you grabbed my tits and made a move on me."
Naruto could only stand there with an abundant amount of shock still pasted on his features.
Yugito gave a low husky chuckle, and turned around, "You smell like shit by the way." she winked at him before taking off.
Naruto could only clench his fist as his confusion was then replaced by anger. He couldn't figure out who he was more mad at, Yugito or himself. He wished he could have reacted in time. But it was so unexpected! She grabbed his head, making it hard to pull away immediately! And his shock held him in place for so long, she could have thought that he liked it. Or maybe he did? No! Anko was the only one that could do that to him! It was just the last thing he expected to happen, that's all!
He gripped his hair when he realized how foolish he was for where he placed his hands when he finally managed to push her away. He could still taste her on his lips, and that stressed Naruto out all the more.
He tried to figure out what to do. He could just simply tell Anko everything that happened before Yugito could give her version of what occurred, but... he wasn't sure if he should. Not because he was afraid that Anko would be mad at him for whatever reason, but because Anko would blow her gasket if she found out what Yugito did. She already has it out for that woman considering Yugito's subtle flirting back at the training grounds, and Naruto was afraid that he may not be able to hold back Anko's fury while she attempted to unleash hell on his fellow Jinchuuriki. And if Anko did such a thing, that could lead to a big problem between Kumo and Konoha. Also not to mention that Anko herself may get herself hurt, since she'd be dealing with someone who contains a powerful demon like himself.
But he couldn't just let Yugito go out the village and try to kill those two Akatsuki members. She could get in big trouble if word got out to Tsunade that she slipped through ANBU's supervision and left. He still wondered how she managed to do such a thing. And even if she ended up fighting the Akatsuki, there's the chance that she might not make it back this time.
While he may be pissed with her, he doesn't want her to die or get seriously hurt. Not by Anko, Tsunade, Her own village, nor the Akatsuki. Also not to mention he refused to let the Akatsuki get their hands on another Biju.
Naruto took a deep breath and made his decision. He hopped up toward the rooftops again and began to pick up on Yugito's trail.
