There was movement outside their quarters, forcing Sasuke from his light slumber, and grabbing a kunai from under his pillow. He tensed, ready for an attack from the idiot that was trying to open their door.
"Don't." Naruto murmured sleepily from the other bed. "Its just Ino."
Sasuke grumbled, annoyed that he wasn't able to tell as quickly as Naruto had been able to but remained where he was.
"What a coincidence." A new voice called out from the boat's hall.
"Damn it." Naruto cursed and got up, not bothering to put a shirt on. Sasuke ignored him, grumpy and no longer able to even pretend to be a normal human and care about Naruto's relationship. The girl could take care of herself after all and if not...
She deserved it.
"Ino-san?" It was Kurama, the one that had been hitting on her. Naruto opened the door and Ino smacked right into him, waking her from her sleepwalking.
"Urk." Ino had no time to recover because Naruto threw an arm around her and pulled her inside. The Nobleman could only blink at the sudden disappearance.
"Sorry. She isn't feeling well." Naruto lied with a sheepish smile.
"Perhaps you should take her to the doctor." Kurama suggested.
"All she needs is rest." He said with an air of finality. "Besides, she's a medical ninja on the side."
"I see." Kurama murmured. "...Good night then."
"I'm afraid I can't let you go unescorted –" Naruto stated, pushing a confused Ino further into the room and closing the door behind her. "–its my duty to protect you after all."
"Of course." He agreed amicably, nodding and turning in the direction of his room. Once Naruto could no longer see, Kurama's face soured, almost pouting at the loss of the gorgeous woman. He was hard pressed to believe that she was a ninja and he was positive that he was close to wearing her down – maybe she'd be willing to become his mistress? Oh the things he would do to her!
Kurama let out a perverted giggle and Naruto eyed him strangely as they headed for the man's room.
Sorry, been busy... I'll probably update either tomorrow or the day after that.
