A Bad Mission
Chapter IV -'This One's for Rommates'
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and you're stupid if you thought if one second I did. : )
Warning: This fic has both shounen-ai (and maybe some yaoi, I haven't decided yet) and cross-dressing. If those things offend you I suggest you not read it because if I get any mail complaining that I have guys kissing each other then I'm going to kick the sender's ass.
Rating For Story: Rated 'T' until farther notified (I might change it to 'M', so beware for that.)

"Hey! Ayako!" Naruto shouted across the lunchroom, proud of himself for remembering not to call his teammate Sakura.
"Hi Emiko," Sakura greeted, motioning for the boy in drag to sit down with her on the bench, "Did you get your lunch yet?"
Naruto shook his head, smiling brightly, "Katsumi said she would take me out for instant ramen later. She has to go to the office anyway, to get an extra bed, so while she's there she's just going to ask for two off-campus passes." Naruto smiled even brighter, taking delight in getting to call Sasuke a 'she' and not getting punched for it.
Before Sakura could respond Sasuke came over to the pair with a tray heaping with food. He sat down after giving a slight nod to both Sakura and Naruto, not saying anything.
"What's with all the food, Katsumi?" Sakura asked, looking at the tray Sasuke had carried with him. She could never remember Sasuke eating a lot, especially not this much.
"It's for Emiko," Sasuke explained, pushing his tray over to Naruto after taking a small bowl of sushi off of it.
"But we were going to go out for instant ramen," Naruto replied, getting the sullen look back on his face.
"We will," Sasuke promised, rolling his eyes at the blonde boy's one-track mind. "But I'm not sure when, so for now you should eat," he explained.
"I haven't met my roommate yet," Sakura announced, purposefully changing the subject. Now wasn't the time to be talking of food and off-campus passes.
"Do you know when she's supposed to get here?" Sasuke asked, thankful to get the topic away from instant ramen.
"No," Sakura admitted. "But term starts tomorrow so she should be here sometime tonight. I'll show you my dorm and we can wait for her if you want," she suggested, hoping against all hopes that Sasuke would agree so they could spend the rest of the day together.
"That might be a good idea," Sasuke admitted, slowly chewing the raw fish in his mouth and swallowing it, "It would make it harder for her to have a one-on-one conversation with you if there are two other people in the room. Unfortunately she could end up dragging us all into whatever she's planning."
"You worry too much Katsumi," Sakura insisted, "The person we're looking for isn't going to be my roommate, it'd be way to coincidental. You're just over thinking things." You idiot! her inner voice shouted at her. If he doesn't think your roommate is the enemy then he won't come over, the inner Sakura explained.
"I just don't want to take any chances," Sasuke replied, standing up with his now empty bowl. "Wait for me at your dorm with Emiko. I'll join you once I'm done getting an extra bed," Sasuke ordered.
"And the off-campus pass," Naruto reminded him, talking with an abundance of food in his mouth, "Don't forget about the pass."
"I won't," Sasuke promised, stepping over the bench that he had sat on and walking towards the trash cans to throw his trash away.
"Hurry up and finish eating," Sakura told Naruto, taking a drink from the water she had. "I don't want to miss her if my new roommate comes," she explained.
"Then why'd you come to the dining hall in the first place?" Naruto asked, annoyed at Sakura for rushing him while he was eating.
"Well that's just because…" Sakura started to say with dignity until she gave halt to a pause, at a loss for what to say. "That's because…" she tried again.
"It's because you wanted a chance to see Sasuke," Naruto guessed, forgetting about calling his teammate by his fake name because of his sudden resent of him. "I should of known," Naruto said, mostly to himself. "And I bet the only reason you invited us up to your dorm was so you could spend time with Sasuke," Naruto accused, talking fully to Sakura again.
"What's it to you?" Sakura asked, her dignity returning. "It's not any of your business who I like or who I don't like," the now brown haired girl explained. "I don't like you, therefore it's none of your business," she claimed.
"You're right," Naruto agreed. "So don't let me interfere on your little date. I won't come so you can have your alone time with him. And when you proclaim your undying love for him and he shoots you down (because believe me, he will) don't come crying to me. You fail to realize you are to him what I am to you: a worthless nobody that isn't even worth his attention," Naruto said, his eyes watering slightly as he stood up with his tray and quickly walked toward the exit, leaving a shocked Sakura behind.
Sasuke sighed when he got back to his apartment. Not only did the office refuse to give him an off-campus pass until the weekend they had refused to give him another bed as well. They didn't have any to spare and since Sasuke and Naruto were late enrollments they would have to suffer.
Sasuke sighed again, locking the door to the hall and taking off his shirt. He was going to have to sleep on the couch their entire stay.
Sasuke walked into the bathroom, taking off his bra with some difficulty. He didn't know how girls did it, all the hooking and unhooking. Not too mention that it felt foreign against his skin.
Sasuke turned on the water in the shower full blast to give it time to warm up. A hot shower was just what he needed before he headed over to Sakura's dorm. He needed a chance to calm down before dealing with the two idiots that were his teammates.
Sasuke slipped off his boots, fishnets, and skirt, sighing with happiness that he was finally free of them. They all felt too constricting, not at all like the t-shirt and shorts he normally wore.
Sasuke stepped into the shower, hissing slightly as the scorching water made contact with his skin, but he soon relaxed into it. What was Sakura's room number again? Sasuke asked himself; washing his hair with the shampoo that Yuko had given him. Four-twenty he reminded himself, rinsing off his shampoo lathered hair.
Sasuke turned off the water once he had deemed his body both clean and relaxed and stepped out the shower. He wrapped a fluffy pure white towel around his waist and got out another one to dry his hair.
That's when he noticed he hadn't brought in a change of clothes with him. Cursing, Sasuke went out into the living room and went through one of his many still packed suitcases. He brought out black pajama bottoms, a plain red tank top, a white bra, and some pink panties. Sasuke glared at what was supposed to be his underwear. At least he wasn't planning on removing his pants anytime during the night. Naruto would laugh his head off if he knew Sasuke had willing dressed in pink panties. Without farther delay Sasuke grabbed his clothes and retreated back into the bathroom.
Sasuke clothed his body, struggling with the bra once again. After making sure his fake breast weren't warped in anyway he went to the mirror to fix his hair. He combed it and flipped it out, taking away any sign that he was really a guy. After inspecting himself in the full-length mirror he had to admit he did look very much like a girl, though he would never admit it to anyone. Well, at least it was helping in the mission, Sasuke decided before turning away from the mirror and leaving the apartment.
"Hey Ayako," Sasuke greeted when Sakura was driven to the door by the boy's knocking.
"Hi Katsumi," Sakura greeted happily. "Please, come in," she asked, stepping aside and opening the door wider.
"Where's Emiko?" Sasuke asked, looking around.
Sakura's dorm was just one room with a bathroom connected. There were two single beds, disconnected by a dresser and there were two desks across from the beds. Other than that, the room was bare, making it hard for Naruto to hide.
"He-she's not here," Sakura admitted. "She said she wanted to give us time alone together," she said reluctantly, looking at her shoes throughout her explanation.
"Why?" Sasuke asked, growing suspicious of Sakura's actions. He didn't want to have to deal with a fan girl, that's exactly what he didn't want to have to handle right now.
"She said that the only reason I wanted you over here was because I wanted to spend time with you," Sakura answered truthfully, "Then I guess he got jealous and he said that he wasn't going to come."
"And was she right?" Sasuke asked, narrowing his eyes a little and hoping against hope that the answer would be 'no'.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked in a sorry attempt to avoid the question and looking down at her shoes again
"What I mean is, was she correct in assuming what she assumed? Do you still like me?" Sasuke asked with an icy voice. He was almost positive the answer would be 'yes' at this point, otherwise his teammate wouldn't have tried to avoid he question.
Sakura just nodded, tears coming to her eyes. "I can't help it," she tried to explain as her tears broke from her eyes. "I know you don't like me, I'm not stupid but…I can't help the way I feel," Sakura said.
"That isn't my problem, it's yours," Sasuke said, growing angry. "Either learn to control your emotions or pick another team," he bargained. "I don't love you and I never will, don't you realize that? Give it up." Without another word he turned on his heel and walked out the door, slamming it once he was out in the hall.
Sakura crumbled onto the floor, tears pouring out of her eyes. She knew that Sasuke wouldn't ever love her, she wasn't a fool, but to hear him say it was a lot harder than just knowing it. She felt as if her heart had cracked in half, she couldn't stand it.
"Hey!" a female voice said as the front door opened. A skinny girl that had blonde hair with dark blue streaks in it came into the dorm.
"Oh, Hun," she whispered to the girl sitting in the center of the room. "Are you okay?" she asked, going over to her and wrapping her arms around Sakura. "What's wrong? What happened?" she asked sympathetically.
"This guy…this guy I really like just told me he doesn't…he doesn't like me back," Sakura explained between sobs, leaning into the girl that was her roommate.
"Weren't you supposed to be with Sakura?" Naruto asked. He was leaning back onto the leather couch with his hair in its normal mess and clad in only shorts reading a magazine.
"I left," Sasuke answered, picking up one of his suitcases and unpacking it.
"What happened?" Naruto asked, dropping the magazine onto the coffee table across for the couch.
"A lot," Sasuke answered, walking towards the bathroom to put his make up away. "Nothing that I prefer to talk about."
"Sasuke, I swear, if you made her cry I'll kill you," Naruto threatened, getting off the couch and following his roommate.
"Sakura's a big girl, she can take care of herself," Sasuke said rolling his eyes. "What she does or doesn't do isn't any of your concern."
"Yes it is!" Naruto shouted back, glaring at Sasuke with all his might.
"And why's that?" Sasuke asked, not turning to look at Naruto as he placed his make up and toiletries in a particular order under the sink and behind the mirror.
"Because she's my friend," Naruto explained in a shout, planning on stomping out of the bathroom.
"Is that all?" Sasuke asked, stopping Naruto in his tracks. "Do you realize that she's just your friend and nothing else? Because I don't believe you do," he said, standing up from his sitting position by the sink.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Naruto denied, turning away and walking out of the room.
"Yes you do," Sasuke insisted, following the blonde haired boy, "You need to realize that friends is all you're going to be."
"I know that," Naruto admitted, turning to face the raven-haired boy. "It's just I forget sometimes," he explained.
Sasuke was cheated out of his next comment by a rapping at the door.
Sasuke signaled Naruto into the bedroom. "Get some clothes on," he mouthed, walking over to the door to see who it was while Naruto ran into the bedroom and closed the door.
"Hi Katsumi," Sakura greeted happily. "This is my roommate, Kazuko," she introduced, pointing to the girl beside her, "Kazuko, this is Katsumi and…Where's Emiko?"
"She's in the bedroom," Sasuke explained, letting the two girls in, "She wasn't properly prepared for guests."
"Oh," Sakura answered, silently laughing. "Well, I just thought you'd both like to meet my new roommate," she explained, "so we came over for a visit."
"Hi," Naruto greeted as he came out of the bedroom dressed in drag. "Who's that?" he asked, pointing at Sakura's new roommate.
Sakura glared at Naruto for a moment because of his rudeness until she announced, "This is Kazuko, my new roommate. Kazuko, this is my friend Emiko."
"Hello," Kazuko greeted, bowing slightly as a sign of respect, "It's nice to meet you."
"Yeah? You too," Naruto said, laughing a little in enjoyment of the fact that she seemed to like him. "So are you staying around for awhile?" Naruto asked, "You should. We could all do something together."
"Like what?" Sakura asked, open to any suggestions.
"How about truth or dare?" Kazuko suggested with a small smile in her face. "We can play until they call us to lights out," she recommended.
