After dispelling the jutsu, Tsunade slapped Sakura in the face. She watched the younger woman's eyes widen as she pulled her hand up to touch her burning cheek. She then cupped Sakura's face in her hands and kissed her sweetly.

"Don't ever do that to me again," Tsunade said as she pulled away.

The two women were so enthralled by one another that they didn't hear the door open. Naruto was worried about Tsunade and decided to check on her. He called out to her in the hallway to her room and heard panicked sounds. When he walked in the room, Tsunade was pulling on a clean shirt and there was someone very obviously hiding under her blanket. He couldn't help the laugh that escaped his throat.

"Naruto! Haven't you ever heard of knocking?!" Tsunade yelled at him, furious.

"I'm sorry, Granny. I just came to check on you," the blonde man said, covering his eyes with his hands.

Tsunade was furious but realized this wasn't the first time he'd done this. She was just usually alone. She groaned and sat down her bed, careful not to make the blanket come off of Sakura. This idiot is just trying to make sure I'm alright, she thought.

"It's fine but could you just come check on me later?" She asked, exasperated.

"Naruto," they heard Hinata call from down the hall.

"Oh, no Hina-" he started, interrupted by her walking in the room.

Hinata stopped in the doorway witnessing the scene in front of her. She saw that there was clearly someone in the bed hiding, poorly, under the blanket. Her face turned red as it occurred to her what was going on. She dropped her eyes to the floor and preyed Naruto didn't notice who was in that bed.

"What the hell is this? Is Kakashi coming in next to tell the whole village there is another human being in my bed?" Tsunade asked, trying not to lose her temper.

All the while Sakura stayed motionless under the blanket, silently begging them not to figure out who she was. She was dreading what would happen after they left and wished for them to stay just a little while longer. It's stuffy under here but at least I have time to think about how to say it, she thought.

Hinata watched, relieved, as Naruto did everything he could to not look at the bed or anything in the room, for that matter. He wouldn't notice the few pink stands of hair sticking out from under the blanket. He also wouldn't notice the red qipao dress hiding under Tsunade's discarded shirt. She exhaled and took him by the arm to lead him out of the room.

"We're very sorry Tsunade-sama. We'll get out of your hair. If you see Sakura at any point today, being her teacher and all, would you let her know that I wish to speak with her?" Hinata asked, for once appreciating her husband's oblivious nature.

Sakura was worried. She knows I'm here, she thought in a slight panic. She heard the front door shut and Tsunade pulled the blanket back. She quickly hugged the woman tight, wishing she never had to let go.

"Seriously though Sakura. Don't ever do that to me again. I don't care if the entire village finds out and they start to hate me. I'd rather be hated by everyone and have you than be loved and be without you," Tsunade said, holding Sakura close to her.

Sakura nodded her head and buried her face in her lover's chest. She loved the feeling of the older woman's arms wrapped protectively around her shoulder. She then decided that now was as good a time as any and was preparing to tell her when there was a small explosion.

The pair quickly dressed and ran out the door. They were relieved to find that it has just been a small mishap and stopped outside of the school building. Naruto was already there, intently focused on the situation in front of him. They were lifting debris to search for usable tools that had been caught in the blast. When Sakura stepped in to help, Hinata was the one who stopped her, byakugan flaring.

"Sakura," She said, her eyes wide.

She knew immediately that she'd been found out by her dear friend. She knows we're sleeping together and that I'm pregnant with her child. Please, Hinata, please don't tell Naruto, she silently pleaded.

"Hinata, I just-" she started.

"Look out!" They heard someone shout. And that's the last thing Sakura remembered before everything went black.
