Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of it's characters.

For the people who don't read the Manga…No I don't own Sai either. He's appeared in the first episode of Shippuuden at the very beginning where we saw a preview with Sasuke so no owning him either.

The only thing I own are the characters you don't recognize.

"What's wrong with that boy. Why doesn't he want to sleep with the other boy?" Kakashi turned to Mauin. "He's not really social towards anyone. So he's not even thinking about sleeping near another person." Mauin frowned. "And that girl then…Naru? He didn't seem to have trouble with her."

Kakashi blinked at the mention of Naru before his mind had catch up with him again. "Naru, is the only one he's ever opened up too…they fight a lot…but at the same time they are best friends."

"Right…so they aren't actually couples?" "No." Mauin nodded. "Alright, I will leave you be then so you can prepare for tonight." He nodded again and walked away.

Kakashi shook his head and walked towards his own room. He stopped for a moment by the door of the two boy's and shook his head. "Please don't mess up." After that he disappeared into his room to prepare… meaning, he grabbed his novel and let himself slide on the bed so he could read.……….……….

It was almost three hours later that Kakashi appeared out of his room and saw Sakura and Sai sitting on the hallway. They both looked irritated. "You're late Kakashi-sensei." Sakura claimed. "Hai…I was caught up with something important." " Liar, you were probably reading you're stupid book." Sai shook his head. "Shouldn't we call Narut.. I mean Naru-chan and Sasuke-san?" "Haven't they come out yet?" A pair of heads shook no and Kakashi knocked on the door. There was a soft growl and the door opened revealing an obliviously pissed Uchiha. Kakashi took a step back at the murderous glare he got from him and swallowed but none less opened his mouth. "Are you two finished?" Sasuke nodded as he lifted his arm up to let the blond pass.

Kakashi frowned as he saw Naruto walk out in a pair of short blue jeans and a lighter blue shirt that worked the same way as his dress had done, being very effectively in hiding his true identity but still showing a slight part of his belly.

"Why did you change?" Naruto shot him a glare as Sasuke closed the door behind him. "I can't walk in that long thing. You want us to look around in town, see if we can find something out. I won't be able to if I keep having to hang on Sasuke cause I'll fall otherwise." "But…couldn't you wear a skirt or something? Girls wear skirts." Naruto's eyebrow rose as he looked at Sakura. "Ino, Tenten, Hinata, they are all girls as far as I can tell and I have never seen them in dresses or skirts so why should I? Besides it's to damn hot for something long."

"He is right." Sakura said softly as Naruto looked at her. "Alright, but keep an eye out and stay out of trouble. Get a good look of the village but don't split up." "Got it." The four shinobi nodded and walked downstairs and Kakashi followed them.

Outside they took off towards the shopping street and gave their eyes something to do. Kakashi walked at the end of the group so he had a clear view on all of his shinobi. As he looked around he noticed several males and even females looking towards them. First he thought they were really out of place and was about to say something when Naruto and Sasuke stopped for a moment while Sakura and Sai walked on. The gazes of the people kept staring towards the Uchiha and Kyuubi barrier.

"Sasuke…Naru." The two immediately turned towards him. "What is it Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked. Sasuke growled something and Naruto blinked as he looked at Sasuke confused. "Why would everyone stare at us?"

"You really are dense aren't you?" Sasuke shook his head and walked on again pulling Naruto with him by holding his hand. "What's that for teme?" "To keep you close." "And why is that?" "Because everyone is staring at you like they want to slam you into a wall and have their way with you."

Naruto frowned. "What way? Why would they want to slam me into a wall?"

Sasuke signed. "Just stick close to me dobe and you'll be fine." Naruto muttered something but let Sasuke have his way.

It was then that Kakashi frowned. Since when did Naruto give up so easily. Even stranger was that he didn't yell every sentence towards the raven boy. Had something changed in their relationship that he wasn't aware off.

It seemed really unlike Naruto to not yell at Sasuke and accuse him of things. On that moment they had returned back at the hotel so Kakashi kept his thoughts for himself, making a note to inform on it later.

They all disappeared into their rooms to change for the gala of that evening and came out within a hour, even Kakashi.

He looked at his four students approvingly.

Sai and Sasuke both wore black suits with a red tie. Sakura was wearing a low cut red dress that showed more then half of her shoulders, with all kinds of ribbons on all the edges and had a red hair band in.

Naruto also wore a long dress, but his was closed of a bit higher then Sakura's and with only one orange ribbon at the back in the middle of the dress. It was sky blue of color and he wore a blue ribbon in his hair that matched his eyes perfectly. The dress ended near his ankles unlike Sakura's that she had to hold up a bit to prevent it from sliding over the ground. Kakashi had to suppress a chuckle at the sight of the orange ribbon, but secretly thought that Naruto wouldn't be Naruto without some orange near him.

"You look good." Kakashi smiled as Sakura turned red and giggled. "And so do you…. Naru-chan." A slight blush appeared on Naruto's face and he shifted slightly uncomfortable. "Sure…Whatever…Can we get going?"

They all nodded and Sakura took Sai's arm. Sasuke shifted for a moment before slowly reaching his arm towards Naruto. Naruto looked at him for a moment before he breathed deeply and laid his hand on Sasuke's arm. Together they walked downstairs and Kakashi noticed that Naruto didn't have difficulties with his shoes anymore.

"Used to you're shoes?" He asked as he looked at Naruto. The blond smiled. "Nope, I'm walking on my toes. A little suggestion Sasuke made." Kakashi blinked and as he paid closer attention to how Naruto was walking he indeed saw that the blond was walking on his toes. "Doesn't that hurt?" "Like hell." Naruto grinned to him before he turned his attention back to Sasuke. "What is it?"

In Kakashi's eyes Sasuke hadn't make a movement but Naruto seemed to have catch something as he looked to his left where Sasuke's gaze was as well. "We have a possible suspect Kakashi-sensei." Kakashi nodded as he looked over to where Naruto was looking before he straightened up. "Miss Kari, let me escort you inside." He held out his arm to the daughter of the Lord who accepted his arm and walked beside him.

They walked into the ballroom and he heard Naruto gasp at the huge amount of people there. Everyone turned to look at who entered.

Kakashi entered first with Kari and behind him came Sakura and Sai. Both Shinobi seemed nervous and kept looking over their shoulders towards Naruto and Sasuke.

Kakashi realized that they were probably worried that Naruto's cover would be blown. As he was inside he saw that everyone was still staring at the entrance and he looked toward it too. He blinked at he saw that Naruto had lost a shoe and Sasuke was kneeling down in front of him to help him put it back on. He resisted the urge to slap his forehead when he suddenly saw Naruto smile softly at Sasuke, making his entire features soft and kind. Sasuke was looking at him with something that looked an awful lot like a blush as he stood up again and took Naruto's hand again.

As they finally walked inside absolutely everyone looked into their direction and Kakashi heard Kari sign next to him. "What is it?" "I can only hope to be a couple with someone like that someday." "Couple like that?" She nodded. "Can't you see, it's pretty oblivious that while they both act really cool they in reality are so deeply in love. It's a beautiful sight when a girl finds a boy like that."

Kakashi looked at her from under need his mask and bit his lip to prevent himself from laughing. Everyone actually believed they were a couple. He looked towards the two again and noticed that they indeed were acting pretty good, better then Sakura and Sai who had started dancing and were standing on each others feet all the time.

He decided to act like the gentle man like he was suppose to be and asked Kari to dance all the while keeping an eye on Naruto and Sasuke. There was something wrong with those two. Even in dancing they seemed perfectly able to react to each other. Naruto had given Sasuke the lead and was following like a girl should do. It was like they had trained for it for years.

In Sasuke's case he believed it without a second thought, it sounded like something the Uchiha family would do.

But in Naruto's case…not in a million years he would believe that someone had learned him to dance….and especially not like a girl. Had Sasuke thought him to dance in an hour time. It sounded impossible seeing at how dense the blond could be at simple things. But how else would he have learned how to dance like this. Even though his movements were a bit slippery and struggling as he kept looking at Sasuke's feet he was dancing on the rhythm.

For a moment he thought that maybe Iruka had taught him before he remembered that his lover couldn't dance very well either.

He then became aware that someone was watching him. As he turned around he noticed that the man that Sasuke and Naruto had marked as a suspect earlier was looking at Kari and him. Kakashi turned their positions and looked at Kari. "Be calmly, but we might have a suspect." Kari nodded as she swallowed. "Are you're shinobi strong enough to handle this?" Kakashi nodded as he eye smiled. The song had slowed down and he had taken Kari in his arms, dancing really slowly now.

"Yes. Sai is a master in bringing drawings to life, Sakura is really strong. Sasuke is good in everything and...Naru…well Naru is Naru." He laughed sheepishly as Kari looked at him like he was insane. "Naru is Naru? She doesn't look like she's really strong." "Looks can be deceiving. Naru-chan is a lot stronger then she looks. If I'm not mistaken I think she's the strongest of them all."

"She still doesn't seem like it." She looked at them. Kakashi followed her gaze to Naruto and his eyes grew wide. He had expected both pairs to have stopped dancing at the slow song. Sai and Sakura had indeed stopped but Sasuke and Naruto were still dancing. Naruto's arms laid around Sasuke's neck and he had placed his head against his shoulder while Sasuke's arms were around his lower back. Sasuke was saying something and Naruto smiled before he moved a bit away from Sasuke as he answered him before he returned to his previous position again.

Sai and Sakura were looking at them too, but neither of the two seemed really shocked and Sakura even looked pleased.

Had he really missed something?

He moved Kari towards the two so he could ask them about it. When he was beside them he turned his head to Naruto who looked up to him confusing visible in his blue eyes. "Na…"

He didn't come any further cause suddenly a big fog came into the room and people started screaming.

He felt Kari being pulled out of his arms but before he could react he felt a different pair of soft hands in his, reassuring him with a small squeeze that it was alright. He didn't recognize the soft hands in his, nor the features of the girl in front of him in the fog. "Who?" "It's alright Kakashi-sensei…remember Sasuke to trace my headband." Kakashi blinked as he recognized the voice. "Naruto?" He grabbed for the pair of hands that had let go of him but he grabbed into thin air. "Naruto?….Naruto?" He had his sharingan activated but he couldn't see through the mist as he felt in front of him. He felt someone beside him pull on his arm and he let himself be dragged along as he thought he recognized Sasuke's raw hands. "Sasuke?" "Hn." Confirmed that it was Sasuke Kakashi relaxed. There was no way Sasuke would let anything happen to Naruto. As they reached the side of the room the fog disappeared again and they could hear the lord scream. "Kari…Kari!"

Kakashi signed as he realized that he had failed to protect the Lord's daughter. "Father I'm here." Surprised he looked at the source of the voice and saw that Sasuke was standing next to the girl and Sakura and Sai behind her. The three off them had protected her. He signed relieved as the lord hugged his daughter. "You protected my daughter. Good job." "We're not finished yet." They all turned towards Sasuke who was looking at a tracking device. "What do you mean?" Mauin asked.

"Naruto traded places with you're daughter to be able to track him." Kakashi remembered Naruto's words. "The headband. You put a tracking device in it?" Sasuke nodded. "We agreed on that while we were preparing. Instead of her they would take him and he'd be able to defeat them."

"He, Naruto? What are you talking about? Where is Naru?" Mauin and Kari looked confused at the four shinobi.

The four looked at them as they realized that the two still didn't have a clue.

Kakashi turned to them. "Naru switched places with you're daughter. He's taken at the moment." "He?" Kari asked. "Hai, he. Naru's name is actually Naruto and he's a boy. For this assignment we were told that one of the boy's had to dress up as a girl and the choice fell on Naruto." "But…but… she looked so much like a girl… everyone was saying how cute she was." Sakura chuckled. "That's why he was chosen. He was perfect for the job."

"They stopped moving." Everyone turned to Sasuke who was looking at the tracing device. "Where?" "About seven miles southwest from here." "Alright. Sasuke you stay here to protect Kari in case they come back." "I'm not staying here." "Sasuke listen to me.." "I'm going." Sasuke looked into Kakashi's eyes with a killer intent that made the Jounin take a step backwards. "If they have touched Naruto I am going to kill them." "Sasuke-kun…we know you care for Naruto. We all do, but we have to think logical right now. Someone needs to stay here to protect Kari." "Then let Sai stay. We might need Sakura's strength." Kakashi signed as he gave in, realizing he would never win from the Uchiha in this. "Alright, Sai you stay here. Sasuke, Sakura you two go with me."

Sai nodded before he turned to Sasuke. "I know you will…but still be careful and bring Naruto-kun back safely." Sasuke looked at Sai for a moment before he nodded. "Count on it."

The three took off, leaving Sai behind with the confused crowd. He turned toward it and signed. "Guess we have some explaining to do." He looked at Kari who looked at him confused as well and he signed again. "Lots of explaining."……………………………………………………..
