Chapter Twenty-Six
Sasuke woke up and felt something strangely warm and soft in his arms. He looked down and was surprised to see Rei laying there asleep. Then he remembered that he had laid down to rest, but had fallen asleep. He sighed and hoped she wouldn't react too badly when she woke up. Still, he didn't dare move as he was one of the few unfortunate people that knew she was not a morning person. Because of this he knew that if he woke her up she would be…annoyed, at being woken up. He laid there for a while and as his arm began to grow numb from holding Rei she began to stir. He watched as she groaned and opened her eyes, squinting at the morning light. Once her eyes were used to the light she noticed Sasuke looking at her with an amused expression. He could see that she was surprised and he was trying very hard not to laugh.
"Sasuke!?! What the hell-"
Before she could say anything else the door burst open and Rei watched in horror as a very familiar person stepped in.
Naruto was walking to the ramen shop to get some breakfast when he saw Sakura. He smiled and walked over to her.
"Hey! Sakura-chan!"
She turned to Naruto and groaned.
"Sakura-chan, where are you going?"
She sighed and looked at Naruto.
"I thought I would go see Sasuke and ask him if he wanted to work on our teamwork since we haven't had any missions for a while."
Naruto grinned.
"That's a good idea, why don't I go with you and then we can go get Rei-chan too."
Sakura groaned, but Naruto just dragged her to Sasuke's house. Soon they were in front of his house and although Naruto wanted to just scream at Sasuke and get him to come outside Sakura wanted to actually go in and get him. They walked into the house and couldn't find Sasuke.
"Maybe he's still asleep." Sakura said thoughtfully.
""Well then let's wake him up!" Naruto said energetically.
Before Sakura could stop him Naruto had run to Sasuke's room and barged in. She turned to follow him and suddenly stopped when Naruto screamed.
"Oh my God!!! You guys slept together!!!"
Sakura ran over to see what had happened and froze at what she saw.
Rei sat up in bed and looked at Naruto. She could feel her cheeks burning and knew she was blushing. She glanced at Sasuke and almost laughed at his reaction. He wasn't blushing, instead he looked so pale she wondered if he had died of embarrassment. She watched as his expression changed from surprise to anger. She turned to Naruto in time to see Sakura appear at the door. She looked at them and froze as Naruto freaked out next to her. The whole situation would have been hilarious if she hadn't been the one caught in bed with Sasuke.
"Oh man, I knew it!!! I can't believe this!!! Wait till Kakashi-sensei hears about this!!!"
Rei felt like smacking Naruto, but she was distracted by Sasuke as she felt him move next to her. She turned to look at him and saw him shaking with anger. Sure, she was a bit angry at Naruto, but it wasn't enough to let Sasuke kill him. She looked at her blonde comrade.
"Naruto, run."
He looked at her confused for a moment, but then took off as Sasuke stood up. Rei sighed and got up. She knew sakura was still standing by the door, but she didn't really know hat to say. Actually, she knew there was nothing she could say as she doubted Sakura would listen to her. She went out and began to follow the trail the boys had left. It was fairly obvious whichi way they had gone as the chase had left a small trail of destruction. She sighed and hoped that Naruto would still be alive by the time she caught up.
Naruto ran as fast as he could and was relieved when he got to the marketplace. He smirked as he thought of a way to lose Sasuke in the crowd. He kept running, desperately looking for a place to hide. He could feel Sasuke's murderous intent behind him and knew he was close. He was about to give up and say goodbye to the cruel world of shinobi, his only regret being that he hadn't gotten to be Hokage when someone pulled him to the side. He was about to say something when the person covered is mouth and whispered in his ear.
"Calm down, it's just me."
Rei let Naruto go and made a few hand signs. Naruto didn't know what she had done, but was relieved when he saw Sasuke run by looking like he wanted to murder someone. After he had passed by Naruto turned to Rei. As he turned to her he felt a sharp pain in his head.
"Ow."
Rei smirked after smacking him on the head.
"What was that for?" Naruto whined.
"For being an idiot. Don't you know how to knock?"
Naruto smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head.
"Sorry about that, but what were you guys doing?"
Rei smacked him again.
"Naruto, you jerk! What do you take me for? What do you mean what were you guys doing? I fell asleep and Sasuke took me to his house!"
"Okay, okay, just don't hit me." He said holding his arms up in defense.
Rei sighed and calmed down.
"Hey, Rei-chan, why didn't Sasuke see us?"
"I used genjutsu to hide us, it's down now."
"Oh, so, how come Sasuke was with you?"
"I guess he must have fallen asleep."
"Riiiight."
"Naruto…" She said holding up her fist.
"Sorry! Please don't hit me!"
"Then stop being stupid. Now, I'll take care of Sasuke so just try to hide out for a while."
"You mean you're not mad?"
"Oh, I'm mad, I just don't want you to die before I can get back at you."
Naruto shuddered as he thought back to what had happened the last time she had been mad at him.
"Alright, I'll go get Sasuke, you go train or something, just stay away from Sasuke for a while."
Naruto nodded and then smirked as Rei was going to leave.
"So, you guys are going out, huh?"
Rei sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Yes, Naruto, we're going out."
Naruto began to laugh and Rei felt like kicking him, but thought that she would just save her anger for her revenge.
"Bye, Naruto."
"Bye, Rei-chan, and sorry about barging in."
She smiled and left.
Sasuke stopped after a while of running and sighed as he looked around. Naruto was nowhere in sight. It was hard to believe that he had actually managed to get away from him. He decided to go back when he remembered Rei. He shuddered as he thought of what she would do to him. He knew she would be angry at him for having slept in the same bed as her, but it wasn't really his fault. He sighed and decided to take his time in going back as he didn't want to deal with an angry Rei. Just as he started walking he stopped and groaned as he heard her call out to him. He turned around and came face to face with Rei. He sighed as he saw the annoyed look on her face.
"Sasuke! There you are!"
She walked up to him and he was so surprised he didn't have time to move away as she smacked him on the head.
"What the hell was that for!?!"
"For being a moron! Would you care to explain why I woke up in your bed?"
Sasuke looked away and she sighed in exasperation.
"You fell asleep so I took you to my house since it was closer. I was tired and I laid down to rest, but I fell asleep." He said without looking up.
She tried not to laugh as she saw a slight blush cross his face.
"Well, why didn't you wake me up last night?"
"You were tired, you needed to rest."
She shook her head.
"Genious my ass, you're as dumb as a fangirl." She said smirking.
Sasuke glared at her, but his eyes softened when he saw her grinning.
"Whatever." He said smirking.
"Well, I guess I'll go home and get changed. Try not to kill Naruto, it really wasn't his fault."
"Stop defending that loser, he shouldn't have barged in."
"Oh, well, I don't think it was entirely his fault. In case you didn't notice Sakura was there too."
Sasuke remembered seeing Sakura and frowned.
"That's right, well, at least she'll be quiet during our missions for a while."
"You really hate fangirls don't you?"
Sasuke smirked.
"Well, I'll see you later."
She waved and left. Sasuke sighed and walked home to change his clothes as well. He felt a headache approaching and groaned as he knew that today was not a good day.
After having showered, dressed, and eaten, Rei went out and decided to go check out the weapon store. As she walked she ran into Naruto. She smirked when she noticed how cautious he was being.
"Hello, Naruto-kun." She said happily.
"Hi, Rei-chan." He said carefully.
"Um, Kakashi-sensei wants to see us."
Rei was a bit surprised as she wasn't expecting any missions, but she wasn't complaining as she was getting bored. She began to walk with Naruto and soon they reached the training grounds. After a while Sakura arrived and then Sasuke got there. Sakura ignored both Rei and Sasuke and Rei felt a bit of pity for the girl. Sasuke glared at Naruto who smirked triumphantly. After about an hour of waiting in a very awkward silence Kakashi arrived.
"Yo."
"You're late!" Rei and Naruto screamed.
"Well, I was walking here when I heard a very interesting rumor about two of my students and I was immersed in conversation."
Sasuke frowned and looked away while Rei tried not to strangle her sensei. Naruto wa laughing as loud as he could and Rei got the urge to smack him while Sasuke tried to burn him to a crisp with his glare. Kakashi just stood there smiling at his students.
"So, why are we here?" Rei said impatiently, trying to shut Naruto up.
Kakashi took out four forms.
"I want to talk to you about the Chunnin Exam."
