I'm so so soooo sorry to the people who were against Sasu/Naru but I'm gonna have to go that way – please don't hate me -.-' I feel really bad for the people who didn't want it :'( I'm SORRY!! The only thing I had any ideas for was a sasunaru fic and I got a Veeeeerry convincing review for S/N so that's what I went with – don't worry it's not going to be TOO graphic I expect – well not much at all, a tiny bit possibly... well not tiny but – not smut. A little bit – I don't know Que Sara Sara as Dorris Day says ;) Im also writing an Essay on Edgar Allen Poe at the same time as this :O

Chapter 5

"Ugh" Sasuke grunted throwing down his rucksack onto the bed and dispelling the sexy no jutsu.

Naruto collapsed onto the adjacent bed and did the same.

"Boy!" he sighed, "staying transformed all the time really drains your chakra!"

Sasuke glanced sideways at him. He was obviously exhausted, his cheeks were red and sweat was condensing on his forehead. Sasuke felt a bead of sweat drop from his own forehead. He held the back of his hand several millimetres away from his cheek – the head radiating off it showed him that he was also flushed.

Naruto heaved his body into an upright position and looked at Sasuke:

"Want to go in the onsen?"

Sasuke looked at him surprised, then cleared his throat and said, "Err-hem. We will have to be of... well... that there wont be anyone else in the baths – we don't want any problems to... arise"

Naruto's looked deeply confused for a moment, but his mouth soon formed a small "O" as realisation hit him .

"Ah." he said pressing his lips tightly together.

Sasuke nodded silently in response.

"Hinata!" Exclaimed Naruto, "she could keep watch! Her Byakyugan is perfect – she'll be able to see women coming to the baths from miles off - literally!"

Sasuke scowled at him, "You idiot, if she does that she'll be able to see us too."

"Not necessarily!" he piped jumping up and grabbing Sasuke by the arm and pulling him towards the door, "not if she stands with us in her blind spot!"

Naruto's sudden show of intuition left Sasuke speechless as he let Naruto drag him out the room and through the door that lead out into the hallway. Realising that they were both still in their original forms Sasuke yanked his arm free from Naruto and pulled him roughly back into the room. The shock at Sasuke's sudden protest disorientated Naruto, making him trip over his own feet and send them both crashing to the ground.

"YOU IDIOT!" Yelled Sasuke from on top of his human safety mat, "ARE YOU COMPLETELY RETARDED?? WHAT IF SOMEONE HAD--"

A violent blush exploded on Sasuke's face as he realised how compromising the positions they were both in really were.

"Oi Sasuke," grunted Naruto from beneath him, "could you hurry up and get off like – now."

Sasuke jumped up, recovering his senses and seizing Naruto by the collar.

"- what if some one had seen us you bastard?" he whispered in a deadly tone, "You'd have killed us all."

Naruto ashamedly shifted his gaze away from Sasuke.

"I'm sorry," he mumbled pathetically as Sasuke let go of him.

Sasuke turned so his back was facing Naruto – he knew that if he looked at Naruto, even if it was just for a second, he would immediately forgive him.

He's like a little puppy, Sasuke thought whilst tugging at his hair in exasperation (this, Naruto could not see due to the fact he had collapsed back onto his knees and was staring at the ground), He's so hyper-active and destructive but when you scold him one look in his eyes and you can't help but forgive him.

Knowing that there was no way they were going to get anything done and that whatever he did Sasuke was going to end up forgiving Naruto, Sasuke turned round with a sighand said:

"So, I thought we were going to the Onsen – unless you've secretly learnt some kind of Telepathy no jutsu, we have to go ask Hinata and Sakura to keep watch--... dobe..."

"Make sure you keep us in you're blind-spot Hinata," warned Naruto, waving his finger at her jokingly.

"R-right!" She mumbled.

Sakura peered at her sideways:

She must be tempted, muttered her inner self, OH! HOW I WISH I POSESSED BYAKUGAN!! Then I could see my beloved Sasuke-kun in all his splendour...

"SA-KU-RA-CHAN!" Naruto yelled, "ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?"

Sakura snapped out of her perverted thoughts to find Naruto- or "Naru-chan"'s face mere millimetres away from her own.

"TOO CLOSE!" she screamed smashing her fist into Naru-chan's skull in a powerful upper cut.

"Ahhh" groaned Naruto, getting up and rubbing his chin whist Sasuke scowled at... Sakura?

Is he glaring at me?? Sakura wondered nervously, Maybe he's angry that I'm keeping him from his bath...

"C'mon" Sasuke grumbled, grabbing Naruto by the elbow and pulling him into the bath house.

"No Peeking Hinata!" Naruto called as he disappeared round the door frame.

Sakura sighed and turned to Hinata, who was still blushing from Naruto's final comment and prodded her gently on the arm. Hinata flustered about, looking away from the Onsen door embarrassedly as she formed the hand signs to activate her Byakyugan.

After confirming that the hot springs were in her blind spot she gave Sakura a little nod. Sakura rapped on the door three times to signal to the boys – they would use the same signal if Hinata saw anybody approaching with the intention of bathing.

Hinata scanned each floor above them and then the floors below. Just as Fuyuki-san had said, most of the rooms were uninhabited and used for storage. To be safe she strained her eyes so that her vision stretched to floors that were buried deep, deep into the ground.

Hinata's eyes widened in surprise when she noticed the flicker of a heartbeat. Something alive was being kept down there. Down in a room sandwiched between a room holding cold meats and one containing vegetables Hinata could see the unmistakeable pounding of a human heartbeat.

"SAKURA-SAN!" she yelped rushing down the corridor without thinking, "follow me!"

"Ah! Hinata-san! Wait!" Sakura called after her as she descended the stairs and disappeared from sight. Sakura looked from the spot where Hinata had been to the door of the onsen where Sasuke and Naruto were sure to be bathing. After dithering for a minute she came to a decision and hurried after Hinata without looking back.

If she had looked back, Sakura would have noticed the small group of women rounding the corner, their arms laden with towels and bath soaps. Unfortunately she did not, unfortunately Naruto and Sasuke were bathing and UNFORTUNATELY those women WERE approaching the baths to bathe and there was no Sakura or Hinata to stop them.

Please review :D and don't hate me for making it Sasu/Naru. This chapter has taken me agess to write – I got an A for my Edgar Allan Poe essay :D (not that you really needed to know – I just wanted to gloat ;P
