NaruSasu Fangirls: WE DEMAND NARUSASU!
Hime: It's coming! Relax damn it!
Sai: Hime owns nothing.
Sasuke Uchiha awoke feeling groggy, her eye lids so heavy it was as if they were pushing her back under the covers. The dark-haired kuniochi moaned from the tapping sunlight against her face and wondered how long she had been sleeping. She wanted to yell at the sun to hide behind the clouds, more so she wanted to just forget the day before and all that transpired. She unwillingly sat up and rubbed the sand out of her eyes. When she finally opened them, she looked around the room.
Am I in the hospital?
Then, she noticed a mirror. In the mirror, her face was tired and pale, her hair was uncombed and messy and there were dark circles under her eyes. Sasuke then combed her hair with her fingers giving her a more decent bed head look. She looked at her reflection again and finally noticed what she was wearing. She was wearing a light blue nightslip gown that ended at mid-thigh.
This isn't mine…
Before she could think further on it, Sasuke began to shiver under the cool morning air. Then out of the corner of her eye, she saw a robe that matched the color of her gown hanging over the bedpost of her bed. She was about to reach for it when Sasuke's ears picked up the sound of shallow breathing; she turned and saw Naruto, soundly asleep.
The blonde was sitting in a chair that was next to her bed; his arms were on the bed, supporting his head as he slept. Sasuke inched closer to him, careful not to wake up her teammate. She took that rare moment of Naruto asleep to study him.
The boy was defenceless, his expression peaceful. Naruto's hair was glowing a brilliant gold under the glaring sunlight and before Sasuke could stop herself, she ran her fingers through his golden blonde locks. Surprisingly, it was rather soft considering how spiky the boy's hair was. But what happened next shocked the dark-haired teen even more.
As Sasuke continued running her hand through his hair, she was certain she heard purring. She bit her lip to prevent herself from laughing.
Naruto was purring!
Like a cat!
It was then when Sasuke's eyes fell upon Naruto's cheeks where his whisker-like marks were.
Maybe Naruto is secretly part cat…
It could explain why he and Kiba never got along…
Unable to help herself, Sasuke touched Naruto's whisker marks with trembling fingertips. She took a deep breath to calm herself and curiously began to trace the whisker marks with featherlike caress to avoid waking him up. As she continued, she noticed Naruto's nose twitching irritably.
Oh boy, this guy really is like a cat!
Sasuke couldn't help herself, she giggled.
I wonder what would happen if I poked him?
Would he swat her hand away like a cat would?
When Sasuke looked back at Naruto, she found that he was awake. One eye was opened, looking at her. Sasuke froze, she did not expect Naruto to wake up; she always thought of him to be a heavy sleeper.
Naruto looked at Sasuke curiously, wondering why exactly why she was touching him in sleep.
Were the meds Sakura prescribed to her causing Sasuke to do random things?
He rose up from his sleeping position and leaned back in his chair, still maintaining eye contact with his albino teammate. He noticed that she had inched herself backward a bit. He wasn't sure whether it was because she was feeling awkward to be found out or embarrassed by what she had done. Lucky for her, Naruto decided not to press her about it; she looked uncomfortable as it is.
"Morning" he greeted in his morning hoarse voice, still sleepy.
"M-morning?" Sasuke responded, uneasily.
Was he even aware what I did or was he half-asleep?
"How are you feeling?"
Sasuke blinked, realizing Naruto was talking to her again.
"Kind of light-headed and a little stiff at the neck but I had a good rest."
"Good, that's good." Naruto says, slowly forming a smile. He was still very sleepy.
"So we're at a hospital then?" Sasuke asks, looking around.
"No, we're at the palace infirmary." Naruto clarified.
Sasuke blinked, "Why would the palace need an infirmary?"
"Well the family has been through a lot of assassination attempts so it makes sense for them to have a medical facility on standby."
"How do you know they had a lot of assassination attempts?" Sasuke asked.
Naruto froze for a second before smoothly replying. "Surely a rich king like him has had death threats. Is it really surprising?"
Before Sasuke could reply, a voice interrupted.
"SASUKE!"
There was a flash of pink and then Sasuke found himself glomped by Sakura.
"I'm so glad you're okay!"
"S-sakura…c-can't b-breathe…"
Sakura let go with a gasp and apologized to her teammate profusely whilst Naruto chuckled as he watched Sasuke's face turn from blue slowly back to white.
"You okay Sasuke?" Naruto asked, still laughing.
Sasuke glared at him in response, seeing Naruto's mirth at her situation.
"So she's finally awake?"
Sasuke turned then and her jaw dropped.
What the fuck was Sai wearing?
Sai wore all black. Sai's outfit consisted of a high-collared midriff shirt which had a long right sleeve and a short left sleeve, black pants, shinobi sandals and gloves with his index and thumb fingers exposed, to facilitate the use of his drawing based techniques Naruto knew.
Naruto was accustomed to Sai's habits; they did grow up together after all.
He wore a short black jacket with red straps — as customary of all Root members, to most likely show his allegiance to the organisation but Sasuke didn't know that, she just found it odd-looking.
On his back, he carried a tip-less tantō on his back and a small backpack which Naruto knew had Sai's brush, scrolls, and ninja ink was inside.
"It's rude to stare you know." Sai told her with an irritated tone in his voice.
Sasuke gave him an incredulous look, "Do you even own a mirror? Has anybody even told you how ridiculous you look in that midriff shirt?"
Naruto bit his lip; he had to admit that it was really funny to see the two argue.
Sai smirked, "This is fashion darling. I know you're new to the whole girl thing so I forgive you for this one time."
Sasuke glared at him, "Excuse me! But guys wearing midriff is just-!"
"I'm starting a trend, deal with it. It's cool."
Sasuke's jaw dropped and just stared at him. Suddenly, the sound of someone's stomach rumbling was heard and everyone turned to stare at the source.
Sakura blushed, her cheeks crimson with embarrassment causing Naruto to chuckle, "Come on guys, it's time for breakfast anyway."
Sasuke turned back to the bedpost, she was cold.
Where was the robe?
"Looking for this?"
Sasuke turned to see Naruto holding out her robe for her. Sasuke got down from the bed and Naruto was about to be a gentleman and help her into her robe but Sasuke moved away.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Helping you into your robe."
"Why? I am perfectly capable of doing it myself!"
Naruto sighed, he was only being nice. Why did she have to be so damn stubborn? He respected her independence but he only wanted to do something nice for his recently injured teammate.
Then he got an idea.
He smirked at her and moved his face closer to her so that his lips were close to her ears; they were so close that Sasuke could feel his breath on her ear. "If you don't, I'll tell everyone what you were doing to me while I was asleep."
Sasuke's face turned tomato red immediately; she was so glad her back was to Sakura and Sai who were watching everything quietly with curiosity.
"F-fine…"
Naruto smirked at the victory and helped his albino teammate into her robe whilst Sakura watched with envy and Sai watched in amusement.
As Naruto helped her, Sasuke felt her pulse jump as the blonde's fingers brush against the skin of her arms as he carefully helped her slide on her jacket.
"Do you feel warmer now?" he asked her.
"Mmm…definitely." Sasuke admitted truthfully as she turned around to face him.
The long sleeve button front robe Sasuke was wearing ended just below the knee and hung loosely around her shoulders. Naruto had to admit Sasuke looked kind of cute in Akiko's clothes.
Akiko was given the clothes set for her birthday but she disliked blue and gave it to Sakura so she could change Sasuke into it. She even said that Sasuke was welcome to keep it.
Light blue doesn't look half bad on her actually. Hell, it looks good even.
Sasuke's stomach rumbled causing her fellow teens to laugh. Sakura grinned and grabbed her teammate's hand.
"Come on! We're obviously both starving so let's go! Time for breakfast!"
Sakura dragged the dark-eyed girl out of the palace infirmary with the boys following close behind.
Ten Ten: I LOVE THE NARUSASU!

Temari: *rolls eyes* Fan girls...
