Thanks for waiting and bearing with me! And for all of the reviews! That is sooo cool! And I think it's time to renew my disclaimers.

Sadly (oh so sadly) I own nothing but action figures, manga books, and DVD's of the fabulous Naruto.

And I warn all about my OOC characters and loads of YAOI!!

Chapter Seven: It's Getting Hot in Here

Interesting was an understatement.

"Okay, batter up!"

"I'm Kicking, Naruto."

"Alright then, kicker up."

"He always misses, you should call him a loser."

"Don't be a jerk!"

"Fart-sniffer!"

"Enough! Just kick the stupid ball already!"

Everyone blinked and looked at Sasuke.

"Jeez, they're only kids man."

"Yeah, lighten up!"

"Kiba! You're supposed to be helping everyone with Arts and Crafts!"

"I'm going, I'm going!!"


Okay, this is the big one. She tightened her grip a little and focused all of her energy on it. This task was the hardest she'd ever have to face. Until she got married of course. But right now, her life was riding on this decision. It could make or break her.

To undo the diaper, or not to undo the diaper, that is the question.

Sakura held the baby out at arms length as she thought over he dilemma. This was, after all, the fattest baby in the joint and a playground-pooping champ.

"Forehead! Just change the diaper already!" Ino screamed while trying to pull twins out of her hair.

"Why don't you do it? I'll take them." Ino rolled her eyes.

"No, thank you."

"I'll take him Sakura." Hinata gently took the baby out of the other girls hands. "Could you watch after those three for me?"

She motioned towards three children who she already got to sleep.

"Sure, thanks." When Hinata turned her head Sakura stuck her tongue out at Ino, who flicked her off.

Not a good idea around kids.

The twins let go of her hair and began to practice lifting the middle finger. First at each other, then at Ino, then at Iruka all the way across the room.

"Ino! What are you teaching them?" He shouted. Ino's jaw was hanging open though so she couldn't respond.

"They aren't even one yet! How can they be so smart?" Kakashi asked, kicking open another sleeping bag.

"Those are Shikamaru's cousins."

"Ah, that explains it."

And when they finished rolling out all the sleeping bags, Iruka pulled out his totally borrowed pink, flowery whistle.

-

"Okay, two outs gone. The bases are loaded. They need two runs to win. Konohomaru's ready. Here's the pitch... and-!"

Naruto pitched the ball after finishing his lovely commentary. Konohomaru sent it flying over Naruto's head and all the way to the sand box where Sasuke was.

"Unbelievable!" Naruto shouted, throwing his hands in the air. "A home run! Konohomaru won the game!"

Everyone started to shout and cheer until Iruka's whistle interrupted them. One little boy shouted in joy knowing that the whistle at this time of day meant snack time. All of the kids ran to the kitchen where Iruka and Kakashi waited with COOKIES!!

Naruto looked around to make sure they were all inside and his eyes stopped on Sasuke, still playing with two of the little girls. They were building sand castles. He grinned and almost swooned. Who knew Sasuke was such a softy?

After another moment or five of spying Naruto jogged over and squatted down so he was eye level with the three of them. (Sasuke was sitting in the sand with them).

"Hey, Michiko!" He said, recognizing a little girl with three-sizes to big glasses that kept falling down and she had to push them back to get a good picture.

"Naruto!" She shouted and jumped to give him a hug. "Look, onee-san! It's Naruto!" The other girl looked up and waved.

"What's up?" She asked.

"Actually, it's snack time." Both little pairs of eyes grow 10 miles wide and after shouting goodbye and quickly hugging both boys, they ran all the way to the kitchen door where Kakashi let them in.

Sighing again, Naruto pulled off his shoes and socks and rolled up his pants. Little kids weren't the only ones who could have fun in a sandbox after all.

"I was playing with them."

"Now you get to play with me!"

He expertly spun around and sat in the sand with Sasuke. "Don't you want to play with me?"

Sasuke gulped. Somehow Naruto pulled off this hot-but-completely-innocent look and it was driving him mad!

"More than you know." He muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing!" Oops. He hadn't meant to sound so suspicious. But hey, accidents happen.

"O-kay..." Naruto squinted at him, but soon a smirk was headlining his perfect face. "You look... embarrassed."

"Wha-hey! I am not!" But his blush darkened as he lied.

"Are too! You're mortified that I saw you being nice to little people when every time I brought it up last week you freaked."

Sasuke was about to retort but hesitated for a moment. Naruto's conclusion was way better than the truth anyways.

"Fine! You caught me! So what are you gonna do about it?"

"I think you know what I'm gonna do about it." Sasuke thought for all of 3 seconds and then attempted to run. But Naruto caught him and started tickling him senseless!

Normally he'd stop when Sasuke broke out laughing, but today he didn't cease the tickles until tears of joy ran down the other's face.

Once Sasuke wiped his eyes he glared up at his boyfriend and tsked. Hang on... Why was he looking up?

"Hey!" He shouted. Naruto blinked.

"What?"

"Why are you on top of me?"

"Oh! Be-" As if Sasuke would let him finish! Please! He flipped Naruto faster than Road Runner can outrun Coyote.

"There," he sighed. "The way it should be."

"Are you imply-" For the second time in 60 seconds Sasuke cut off Naruto's sentence. You can only guess (most likely very accurately) how he did that.

-

On the other side of the playground, through the kitchen window, Michiko and her older sister - Ichigo- were watching the display. Michiko's scream brought the other kids and some attendants over to the window and Shikamaru sighed.

"Who's going to introduce these kids to the 'Wonder of Wonders'?"

"Nose game!" Ino shouted. Everyone's finger shot to his or her respective noses. Unfortunately, because someone's ass was distracting him, Lee's finger was last.

"Oh come on! This sucks!" He shouted. Kiba and Neji laughed at the double meaning. Then everyone left Lee and the kids to the Birds and the bees. (Or the bees and the bees in this case).


Kiba's house was the closest to the Daycare, so it made sense that the boys stay there for the night. His parents were out all week for Spring Break anyway.

Besides, Iruka had someone he really wanted Kakashi to meet and having Lee there might spoil it.

"Iruka, would you please tell me why exactly you want me to meet Lee's Uncle."

Iruka grinned like a madman and knocked on the door where Kakashi's doom surely awaited him.

"No way. It would totally ruin this for me." Kakashi groaned and mumbled something akin to 'this is not good'.

"So this is all for your own sadistic pleasure?"

"Pretty much."

As soon as Iruka knocked the third time the door flung open to reveal - in a very dramatic hero pose worthy of it's own satellite dish channel - Gai Might!

"Iruka! How lovely to see you again. I have missed your beautiful smile and delicious smells more than my entire family put together!"

Iruka cleared his throat and glanced at Kakashi. Then he had to look away immediately or face even more pain than he was sure he'd get because of this. He didn't want to laugh at his boyfriend's face but...

Kakashi was clearly asking every god in the cosmos what he could have possibly done to have to bare a night with someone so... so... green!

"Er... I missed you too Gai! This is my boyfriend, Kakashi! Kakashi, this is Gai. He's an old friend."

But Kakashi didn't hear him. He was too busy trying to force his atoms apart so Gai couldn't see him. The glare the green-clad person was sending him was enough to scare even Sasuke... maybe. A little bit.

"Boyfriend?" He spat. Iruka nodded and put an arm around Kakashi for extra support.

"Yeeee-up." Iruka chirped. He squeezed Kakashi and this knocked the guy out of his stupor.

"Hey." He casually put his hand up and tilted his head closer to Iruka's. This seemed to piss Gai off even more. "What's up?"

Cue the bushy eyebrow twitch.

"May we come in?" Iruka asked. The "Ugly" Gai jumped back to reality and moved to the side.

"Of course! Sorry, where are my manners?" As they passed each other Kakashi and Gai narrowed their eyes and if it was possible you could have seen sparks flying. But not the good "Naruto/Sasuke" sparks or even the scary "Fangirl just caught sight of Naruto and Sasuke" sparks that you find in some places.

Oh no, these sparks flew off the charts of evilness!! It was so hilarious!!

"So, Gai!" Iruka clapped his hands and rocked back and forth on his heels. "Got any games?"

Kakashi's head swerved so fast he got whiplash. But even the pleading look he gave Iruka couldn't have stopped the teacher's fun. Besides...

Gai was already cackling evilly and pulling out board games, video games, lightsabers, and for some reason a gymnastics mat.

Kakashi gulped. Shit. He thought.


A ways away, at Kiba's house, Sasuke's "Kakashi's in Trouble" sense tingled, but he didn't really care.

They were playing Twister, and guess who was left.

That's right! Sasuke and Naruto were in a very, very suggestive position. All the fangirls and guys in the house say hey!

"Wow...guys. That's Lee's third nosebleed. Maybe we should stop so we don't kill him or anything."

This was true. And Neji was doing a very good job of nursing his poor boyfriend back to health. Not to mention that he couldn't be pissed at Lee because he'd been fighting off his own nose bleed for quite some time now.

"No way! I'm going to beat Sasuke if it's the last thing I do!" Naruto shouted.

(I'm going to try and explain their positions now... be warned.)

Alright... Naruto's right hand was on red and his right leg was on blue. His left leg was on the green spot right behind his right knee and his left hand was on the green next to that one.

Sasuke on the other hand, had his right leg on the green spot next to where Naruto's left one was. His right hand was on a yellow spot behind Naruto's butt and his left leg was on another yellow spot away from the mess. Finally his left hand was on Naruto's right hand on the red.

(You don't have to interpret that I just wanted to see if anyone could get it.)

Put simply, Sasuke was on top, Naruto was on bottom and they were very close to each other.

"Alright, stop the game! Lee is going to die of blood loss!" Neji almost shouted at them. But then he'd have to stop focusing on keeping his own blood in his body and that wouldn't be good.

"You really think you can beat me?" Sasuke asked, his face right in front of Naruto's.

"Yep." But obviously Naruto wasn't aware of the hand Sasuke had so conveniently placed. It was right behind the other's butt. So, obviously he took advantage of this.

"Sasuke cheated!" Kiba pointed and hopped up and down. "Naruto won!"

But neither boy on the floor was paying attention to him. Sasuke grinned sheepishly and Naruto was rubbing his newly pinched rear.

"You suck!" He said to Sasuke.

"Give me a time and place." The Uchiha winked and Naruto blushed before hitting him over the head.

"Perv! You're so much like Kakashi it's scary!" Sadly, this brought Sasuke out of his state of mind and back to reality.

If I'm like Kakashi, then... No! No way...

He stood up and pulled Naruto with him.

"Kiba, where is your shower?"

"Upstairs, third door on the left." Kiba answered. Saske nodded to him and kissed Naruto on the head before walking over to the stairs, ignoring all of the shouts at Naruto about joining him and keeping him company.

He needed to think. Again. This was not healthy for him; no one had ever caused him so much confusion.

-

Once Sasuke left, the other boys threw a movie into the DVD player and sat around watching Jim Carrey in all his glory. Shikamaru, though normally he would be laughing the hardest out of all his friends, was thinking.

"Naruto, was something wrong with Sasuke?" His blonde friend turned and looked at him.

"I don't think so, why?" Shikamaru shrugged.

"He looked... I don't know. He almost looked like he was sad about something." Neji nodded in agreement.

"So what do you want me to do about it?" Naruto asked, blinking with a naive look in his eyes. Kiba rolled his.

"Shikamaru's trying to tell you to go make him feel better!" He motioned up the stairs and wiggled his eyebrows. "In a certain way that only you can do."

This earned him a bonk on the head from Lee.

"He wasn't saying anything of the sort!" And quickly, before they started yet another fight for no reason, Naruto dashed up the stairs and into the bathroom where Sasuke was.

Then he paused. He was in the bathroom with Sasuke...his very naked boyfriend. Immediately he started to blush and thank Ichiraku that the water was on and the curtain shut. But spotting the clothes on the sink he had a brilliant idea. So he grinned evilly and rubbed his hands together.

Naruto snatched Sasuke's clothes off the sink and ran out of the room. This was going to be fun.


Back on the other side of town Kakashi and Gai were in a heated game of Candyland. Iruka had long ago given up tying to play with them and resigned as the scorekeeper a while ago. They were too fast and furious for him to keep up.

For some reason Gai was infuriated by the fact that Kakashi was... how did the man put it? Hip and cool? And Kakashi loved the fact that he could kick Gai's butt at almost every game they played.

Neither took into account that they are actually grown men playing games that the kids at the Daycare find uncool.

Currently the score was Kakashi 126, Gai 120. Sadly, they never tied and somehow they came up with 246 games in three hours. This was going to be a long painful night.

Soon Iruka fell asleep on the couch as they continued their many games and challenges. He doubted he'd go anywhere other than Gai's house and the Daycare this week.

Why did he have to introduce these two?

Oh yeah, Naruto bet him fifty bucks that Gai wouldn't scare Kakashi off. Damn bets, they ruin everything.


And we bounce back over to Kiba's house. This time we're upstairs with Sasuke. See, he was a little embarrassed and very angry. When he'd gotten out of the shower and reached for his clothes all he'd found was air.

"Naruto." He growled. This was probably payback for the butt-pinching thing. Or his boyfriend just wanted to see him naked which was definitely a possibility.

After all, Iruka wasn't nearly as innocent as he led on and Sasuke was sure that he taught Naruto his ways.

So, smirking oh so sexily, Sasuke walked down the stairs - with nothing but a towel and pride in his hotness, mind you - and into the living room where everyone was sitting on the couch or floor watching a movie. No one really paid any attention to him when he was in the doorway, but since he had to walk across the screen to get to Naruto, everyone saw him.

Especially Naruto.

Needless to say this time not even Neji could keep the blood in his body and both he and Lee had to leave the room. Kiba ran out after them because he was afraid Sasuke and Naruto might turn him gay. Shikamaru left because he... well... he just left.

"You know, Naruto," he whispered, straddling the other's waist and leaned over so he could be right next to Naruto's ear. "If you wanted to see me without clothes, all you had to do was ask."

He licked the other's earlobe for good measure and stalked out of the room after grabbing his clothes from behind Naruto's head.

He tasted better than ever. Sasuke licked his lips and walked back up to the bathroom and closed the door.

He never really figured out what Naruto had originally planned to do with his clothes, but he decided that what he did was better than anything that could have happened really.

Well, at least better than most things. The only event that could make tonight any finer would be if-

Knock knock knock.


How many of you were squealing? I was. And I actually (seriously this time) have the next chapter completely planned out. All I have to do is type it and post it.

But, you still have to review!!

Oh! And just telling you now, the next chapter might get a little intense Naruto/Sasuke wise and I'm also going to tell you now that I will not write a lemon. If someone else wanted to right one and post it for this story that's cool but clear it with me first, alright? Lata!!
