"Oh! Uh, hey Naruto... didn't know you were back." Ino said a bit embarrassed. She hadn't sensed him at all.
"Yeah, I just got back." Naruto answered, furrowing his eyebrows in confusion. "Did you leave something here?"
"Well, sorta." Ino started, not sure how to explain. "I went home and decided to turn in early," Ino deftly decided to leave out the fact that she couldn't seem to stop thinking about him, "when, wouldn't you know it – most of my clothes are gone and by default... most of my sleep wear."
"Oh." Naruto had noticed how she not only stopped leaving in the middle of the night but had taken to bring clothing and leaving her pajamas in his no longer mess of a closet. Ino was changing in his apartment, getting ready and leaving belongings as well.
Arriving home, Naruto tripped on a scarf. A scarf! He didn't bother on dwelling on it any further, not at all caring why Ino owned a scarf when they were in Fire country (An area that seemed to lay in the perpetual seasons of spring and summer) much less what it was doing laying on his floor by the door way.
Half of his closet was occupied by girlie things he didn't understand.
"Hey... does that mean its an official sleep over?" Naruto asked.
"Idiot." Ino muttered, hitting him over the head. "I'm going to bed."
Naruto silently followed, removing his dark blue T-shirt with an orange swirl on the front, and throwing himself on the bed. He turned to the side and blearily stared at the bathroom door that was left slightly ajar.
Ino was in her bra and panties doing what she usually did in the morning. Washing her face and brushing her teeth and stuff. Naruto didn't actually care, he just liked watching her.
Maybe it was years of being around Kakashi-sensei and Ero-sennin but Naruto found that he rather liked watching Ino while she was half naked.
Not like she discouraged his staring anyway.
After another five minutes, Ino walked out in matching blue shorts and tank top and lay beside Naruto.
"So... how was your mission?" Ino asked, not at all feeling as tired as she thought she was.
"Mmh?... It was a the typical C-class mission gone awry." Naruto answered yawing.
"Huh?"
"I've never had a straight forward C-class mission. For some reason..." Naruto began wiggling, in an effort to remove his pants. Ino simply rolled her eyes. "-my C-class missions always go wrong and they turn from C to B or A."
With the success of his pants removal ("Don't just throw them on the floor!" "Then where?!?" In the hamper you idiot!" "...I have a hamper?") Naruto managed to pull out the sheets from under them and threw it over their bodies.
"Thats weird. You've never had a normal C-class mission?" Ino asked.
"Nope." Naruto answered popping the 'p'. "Even my my first one ever with Team 7. It went from C-class to A-class."
"Really, what happened?" Ino asked, curious. She vaguely recalled Sakura telling her something similar but she couldn't remember any of the details.
Before Naruto continued, he pulled the sheet up and gave her an expectant look. She stared at him incomprehensibly for a moment before realization struck her and she rolled her eyes at him but mutely complied by closing the inch of space between them and letting Naruto wrap his arm around her.
"...Idiot." Ino muttered as she watched his smirk turn into a full blown grin.
"ANYWAY, we were supposed to escort this old bridge builder..."

This one ended up being a bit longer than the others... don't expect them to be this long in the future. If I feel a chapter has to be long then so be it but the way this is, if they're short that means their was nothing left to add.
Now, this isn't supposed to be taken the wrong way for those of you who are 'sensitive' but... Stop complaining and enjoy the little snipets I give you. Thats what they were written for. Like I said before, this is just to help with any writer's block I have on Interference and for you to read and review if you like.
But those who have reviewed – thank you very much. Although you don't have to, they do tend to brighten up my day.
