B is for Bed: Because Sasuke was never a morning person

"Where the HELL is Uchiha?" Neji growled as the newly dubbed ANBU team sat on the walls of their village. His elbow rested on his lap as he leaning into his palm, holding himself up at 5:30 in the morning. Beside him, Shikamaru was snoring rhythmically, balancing on his side as he did so. His other present teammate was suddenly interested in her bootstrap, fiddling with the silver buckle at the hem, located right at the fold of her knee.

"Well," Sakura started. "He is a student of Hatake Kakashi." She duly noted her former sensei's habit of being tardy as she stood up and dusted the none-existent dust off her uniform and armor. Like everyone else's uniform, Sakura's was the black sleeveless shirt, long gloves, knee-high boots, the shin, forearm and chest guards, and the pitch black cloak. The only difference was that instead of loose fitting shinobi pants like the boys', hers was a pair of black form-fitting leggings, tucked under the opening of her boots. "I can go get him if you want."

Neji nodded and the medic disappeared in an array of pink petals.

Sakura walked up to the Uchiha Estate, the property reclaimed by its young survivor after his 18th birthday and his parole. Instead of using the door though, she jumped onto a tree growing by the main house and crept into the master's bedroom.

After all, she is also a student of Hatake Kakashi.

She hid in the shadows cast by the peeping sunlight and stood right above Sasuke's sleeping form. 'And he called Shikamaru lazy…' She thought as she clutched a pillow she found discarded on the floor. It loomed over the Uchiha's body like the plague. She was about to bring it down on him when she heard him mumble something as he buried his nose into the black silk (Inner Sakura: damn you rich bastard) of the pillow his arms were wrapped around.

"Kakashi…"

Sakura stifled a giggle as she whipped out a digital camera and click the 'record' button. The sleeping male continued to mumble the name of his sensei, hugging the pillow closer to his body. She continued to laugh until she hid the camera, thinking it was enough for the ultimate blackmail. She resumed her position with the pillow and brought it down on her former crush with enough power to have it called the 'Black Death'—literally.

"WAKE UP SASUKE!!!!"

As she scream his name, he jumped up and pressed a kunai to her neck. Realizing who it was, he retracted it and tucked it in the fold of the comforter. "It's just you."

"Don't 'it's just you' me Uchiha Sasuke! Since when have you been late?" She asked, flailing her arms frantically as she waited for an answer. When she only got the customary 'hn', she crossed her arms across her chest, trying to push back down the chakra instinctively making it's way to her fist. "Just get dress!" She cried, grabbing his chest plate and shoving it in his direction before disappearing through the window once more.

During their mission to retrieve documents of a potential conspiracy against the Hidden Leaf from Konoha's spy in Iwagakure, Sakura couldn't look at Sasuke straight in the eye. If she ever did catch his cold black eye, she would turn away immediately, biting her cheek to suppress fits of laughter.

They were now halfway to their destination, resting for the night. They've been traveling since 6 AM, only to stop to drink water or nibble on an energy bar. Neji was starting the fire while Sakura and Shikamaru set up the sleeping bags around the fire. Sasuke was sent down to the nearby stream to get some dinner.

Once Sakura was sure Sasuke's chakra was down at the stream, she whipped out her digital camera and pulled her two teammates on her sleeping bag beside the fire. "Check this out." She pressed 'play' on the touch screen and the video of Sasuke's earlier incident was viewed by his other teammates.

After the video ended, grins (or smirks, she never could tell, even after years of being exposed to guys like that since childhood) were plastered on the two geniuses' faces.

Neji piped up. "I never knew Sasuke had a thing for Kakashi-sensei." He chuckled in a tone that noted his superiority over the Uchiha. As if the Hyuuga Neji would ever get caught mumbling his sensei's name in the night. He's too smart for that.

No, what's coming for him was much, much worse.

A/N: FAST UPDATE! -fist in the air- Er...I'm not sure if they have digital cameras in the Naruto world, but judging by the fact that there are movies, televisions and radios, I'm guessing there are digital cameras.

Okay, sneak peek, since I left you with a cliffy-ish part. :))

"Dammit! You've kissed more boys than I have, and I'm a girl!"

No, this is not i repeat NOT a yaoi fic, for I totally detest that kind of stuff. I am merely making fun of Sasuke, because he is a complete(ly hot stupid inner Bella. THINK SASORI, SASORI, SASORI!!) bastard for leaving the village and other unmentionable crimes he has done. Don't take me wrong--I have nothing against gay love. I just can't imagine my Naruto bishie like that!! :((

Oh, and if I offended and Kakashi fangirls (ahem, cough-KURIPSU-cough), he's not gay. Just very tardy, perverted, and TOTALLY FRIKIN' AWESOME. :))
