"So, what's with you and Sasuke, huh?" Naruto came up to her while she was at the supermarket. "You two have been a lot closer than I've known two people that close.."

"Well, as you must know, dumbass, we're BEST FRIENDS. And getting along great and he sleeps next to me," It's only because she doesn't want to spend her hard-earned money on a bed and a new apartment. Cheap, isn't she? "And yeah, he does it so great, it makes me tingle now."

"WHAT?"

"Yeah.." She sighed, leaving the idiot blonde. Okay maybe the things he told that idiot were a lie, but he was annoying her, would you have not done the same thing? In fact, she liked it so much she went back to him and gave him a 'thorough' report on what she made him think.

Okay, maybe Pheonix shouldn't have said those things to Naruto.. because before you know it, Sakura and a few other girls were at her door. Demanding that she open it and therefore they would commence 'kick Pheonix's ass'. How could you kick an ANBU's ass?

"What did you do this time? Break her leg? An arm? Burst her innards into flames?"

"..How is it possible to burst someone's innards into flames?" The blonde girl asked.

"With you, anything's possible." He smirked, smugly, in her face. Which made her a bit peeved.

"Shut up.. If you wish to know, I might have told a certain dumb blonde that WE did something.. In the bedroom." The girl scratched the back of her head, embarassed.

"What? And you were going to inform when?" He was pissed.

"Come on, I know you want to FUCK ME." She said, kinda like she was proud of it.. Well, it couldn't be helped. He was a Uchiha after all.

"Are you implying that you want to?" He asked, not eagerly. No, that wouldn't be cool, would it?

"Of course not, I just know people want me. Why? Have no idea, I haven't you know, been sexually activated.. or something."

"..You're a virgin, right?"

"Pretty much, why? Wanna make a deal about it? I know you're a virgin..." She smiled, showing her pearly whites.

"W-what? I'm totally not, I've done a girl or two.. in my spare time."

"Ha, that's virgin talk, why don't you man up and confess you are?"

"..." The Uchiha looked away from the blonde nin, who was giggling like a little bratty girl. "Fine, I am, you happy?" He asked, annoyed.

"Nah, well anyways.. So, who's cooking tonight? I want some stir fry, do you know how to cook, Sasuke-kun?" She asked.

"Do you?"

"..No, you know what, I'll make you my wife. Cook, you filthy whore.." Sasuke gave her a look of utter shock, "Just kidding, Gods,". And continued to walk into their kitchen and cook up what was her kind of stir fry. All and all, Sasuke liked her weird concoction of a stir fry rice.

"So what did you tell Naruto?" Sasuke asked, curious.

"Nothing.." She sung out, "Besides, we have the matter of speaking of bedroom use. I sleep on the bed, you sleep on the floor."

"Seriously? Let's get a bigger apartment and a new bed.."

"Will you give me the money for a new apartment and a new bed?" She asked, questioningly. He didn't reply, "See, it's settled. You on floor."

"What's this I hear of you two doing things in the bedroom?" Tsunade asked, giving the two a ominous look. "Of all people, I'd thought you're knew better than my slut of a student?"

Pheonix sighed, giving a look to the Hokage. "It was a lie, okay? Naruto was annoying me again, and I wanted him to be very jealous and not talk to me ever again. See, so I told him that I had sex with Sasuke, which isn't true."

"Is this true?" Tsunade asked.

Sasuke nodded, "It's what she told me, gotta believe it. Besides, it's Pheonix we're talking about."

"Oh yes, yes, sometimes I forget. So how's she treating you?" The Hokage asked, pointedly ignoring ther young blonde's presence who seemed pissed for being ignored.

"I'm right here!"

"I sleep on the floor in her bedroom, it's an improvement from sleeping on that god awful couch though." Sasuke complained, nonchalantly to the Godaime.

"Pheonix? You let him sleep on the floor? Don't you care about the future offsprings of the Uchihas'?" Tsunade roared.

The ANBU sighed, another rant from grandma Tsunade.. What a boar. She meant bore, yeah...

It was a week later that they both got a new house just near the eastern gate, the Uchiha got his OWN bed and his OWN room. This didn't make the ANBU nin happy at all, no, but all she could do was glare at the dark-haired friend of hers'. Well, she COULD kill him, easily. But then again, that woman she met long ago might just go and kill her afterwards. She wish to keep her life a few more years.. So Pheonix did nothing. But she indeed promise herself, she will get back at the Uchiha. Some day.
