Okay, this chapter was damn hard to get out. Had some family issues pop up that were hard on the nerves and honestly those nerves are still frazzled all to hell right now. I'm not happy with this chapter, if I'm being honest, but after a 3rd rewrite, I'm just too stressed to even go further with it than what I have. So it's short, kind of patchy, and not my best by far.

This chapter does contain a lemon, it's marked at the start and stop so it can be skipped, it's something that was written previously before all the drama started, so there ya go. I hope it's well received.

"A twin eh? Well you'll have to tell me about this supposed twin I have, for now we have team meet and greet and training. So follow me and we'll get started kiddies." Anko said with a smile as she walked out of the academy grounds, hands in her trench coat pockets as she walked. Naruto and rikku followed a bit apprehensive, but followed none the less. They were too weirded out by this, how in all of creation did anko have a twin. No that wasn't right, a dopple ganger, that was right. Still, it brought up some questions, like if their were others to and from spira to konoha like anko,because just by that one sentence alone, this was like their anko.

They followed anko to a training ground they were familiar with, the same one with the lake fed by a waterfall that flowed out into a river that flowed down training ground 7. "Okay kiddies, I've been made aware of your training in detail by kakashi so I got a god idea of your training up to this point, however when I went to get background on you two, there was some blank spaces, big ones. So you gonna fill those in for me?" She asked, looking to them, but they shook their heads.

"You'd have to talk to the hokage, we'll tell you about out training and details we can acknowledge on our training trip safely, but aside from that, no." Naruto said, deciding to get that out of the way.

"I see well kakashi was though with your overall skills enough, and your teamwork is impeccable, he aid you got your individual skills up to par now. But Let's have a nice spar to see the level you can really operate at." She said with a smile, as the blondes looked to each other, shugging before they activated their seals, naruto's strike armor coming into existence, as did rikkus trench knives right into her hands. They both took sudden breathes, priming their systems before rushing at anko. What followed trumped the display from the academy as they came in full tilt at anko with the height of their teamwork. When kakashi had been off balanced by the pair their first meeting, Anko was on the complete defensive with desperate escape tactics as the two kept her on the tips of her toes.

She hadn't been expecting this, she thought Kakashi had been exagerating, but seeing was believing and the two fought like a well oiled machine. Kakashi hadn't been kidding in their skill assessment in the slightest, and now knowing that their was one more genin, a girl named tenten, who had at least, comparable level of skills though more specialized as well, it scared her in a way. If the girl wasn't with another team she'd take the girl as the third member of her own. They stopped the spar soon, and just had the two demonstrate the rest of their skills, showing aptitudes in other areas, even ones nt taught int he academy, and found it interesting that they tipped to short and a bikini with lttle thought to show their aquatic skills. Anko decided to hell with it and joined them, making the two blush slightly when she revealed that her mesh didn't cover anything at all, just a see through mesh shirt and her panties.

"So I'll admit, you two are kami sent to have for a genin team, but there are things I can improve on. One thing is elemts my style uses, such as flexibility, I can make you flexible enough to tongue pleasure yourselves without clones." She spoke, smirking as the two blushed again, such a cute little married pair. "We'll work on that and other things over the next two months as we get to know each other. We'll mainly be operating as a back-up team or as field interrogators, you two will be learning the oh so wonderful craft of torture and interrogation! Isn't that just lovely?" She stated with a smirk as she flipped over in the ater, enjoying the swim.

Rikku and Naruto couldn't help but be a bit pale as they considered her words and honestly, it was a scary prospect. But they weren't about to say no to another anko on anything, they remember their anko's liberal use of a bayonet. A shudden ran through them as they sank into the water, not at all thrilled, but that was neither here nor there once anko got out, letting the sun dry her, completely oblivious to either blond blushig at her exposed chest or the way her panties hugged her lower body. She immediately got them started on exercises to them the flexibility and other physical traits she wanted in them, a tall order for two months, but nt impossible under he regiment.

The first month of training showed Anko every thread and sliver of their total ability and she took it, and expanded on it, brought new ideas and concepts, helped them further advance individually and as a team. However a month in she asked a very sudden question. "You two are still virgins aren't you?" She asked right out of the blue, making both of them fall right in the middle of a spar.

"ANKO!" They both shouted and the woman sighed.

"So it's true...I guess you escaped that in the academy due to being maried. No, this won't do. I'm not taking genin out of this village for any reason if they're not prepared, and like hell I'm doing any d-ranks. Prepare yourselves because you won't be anymore here soon." She spoke, giving them a solid promise with a serious tone that startled them. Looking to each other, they wondered where that came from... But looking to each other on that subject, they couldn't help but blush. In 6 months their relationship had grown, they were slowly working up to that point, but things just kinda stalled out when they were right at that point to go further. They had done a few hings to experiment, with and without gender swapping to get used to the idea, but they never did just do it. So now they were right here a little under a month away from c-ranks and still no progress.

They continued with the day's training and decied to go to tenten for another talk, not having seen too much of her since the academy graduation. She had really come along in her own training, learning everything kakashi gave to her and sprinting with it, even when she had no ground to sprint on. Appearing at the wolf claw, they could hear coughing from the back and knw it to be tenten's father, he'd been coughing a lot lately. "Hello?" Rikku called out, looking around the shop.

"Ah, naruto, rikku, how are you two doing, how's the weapons fairing?" The man asked as he came from the back, stifling his cough.

"Doing great, feels natural." Naruto spoke, looking over his strike armor. the metal was similar to their old survival knives, it held a natural damascus pattern in the stel that was beautiful to look it, but was colored a dark metallic blue with a slight shimmer from the polished metal, looking like moving water almost. The color of the other metals was lost to the color that stood out now, but they could feel the quality, it was so light and strong, it was hard to believe this was just a scrappile of ore before. "But that's not why we're here, is tenten around?" He asked and the man's face fell into a frown.

"She's out taking her lessons." He said with a bitter tone.

"Lessons?" Rikku asked, looking to naruto.

"Advanced seduction lessons. She says that she's not making enough from just d-ranks so she said was taking the lessons for extra better paying missions." The man spoke, clearly upset about it, but the two blondes knew better. Tenten had told them their shop wasn't doing that well even before they arrived that day, and now it was starting to affect them hard. Tenten was the type to do what he can to ease the burden, so they already guessed t was for the shop and her father who was sick. That let a sur taste in their mouths, fearful for their friend doing something so potentially dangerous.

"Well...alright, if you see her today, tell hr we stopped by, we'd like to talk to her." He said as they left, waving the man goodbye. Walking back to their apartment, they looked to each other. Their friend...best friend even was taking on that training where no doubt she'd be aired with others to get experience... The thought sent a shiver down their spines, not at all comfortable with the thought, but brought it home to their own problem. They didn't get much chance to talk on this as they saw anko standing n front of their apartment, arms crossed.

"Bout time, been waiting a minute." She spoke, the two were hesitant and stepped back when she stepped forward. "Oh stop that! You knew what was coming, Besides, I've got a little something for ya to help with the jitters and all." She said, closing the distance, and very swiftly kissing naruto first, using her tongue to shove something into naruto's mouth, before doing the same to the now irate rikku for kissing her man, while naruto watched. Both had swallowed it, and were wondering just what it was, but it had a sweet taste to it. "Now get in there and get busy. You know of the lessons, you know how lucky you two are getting to lose your virginity the fun way to someone you actually love. Don't waste it, and make sure to us that jutsu of yours for turnabout." She called with barking laughter, pushing them in through their apartment door before closing it, leaving a blushing rikku and naruto standing there.

Lemon Start

At first they didn't do anything, but after a while they moved through the apartment and made them some food to eat while they waited fro the little help anko gave them to take effect. They ate, and prepared some water, both knowing their stamina quite well. The entire time though they kept looking to each other, thinking and imagining what was going to happen. They started getting hotter and more twitchy with the longer they kept this going. Eating was a nervous affair, however they only just managed to eat before the tension and stimulation got to be too much for them, as they foud themselves in the living room of the small apartment, naruto's hands on rikku's hips as he held her close with his lips smashed to rikku's.

Rikku fervently returned the kiss and then some when naruto's mouth opened and she rushed her tongue between the divide of lips and teeth. Her arms around his neck, the two could feel the other's heat, realizing just how worked up and tense they'd been all this time, it as amazing they got anything done for weeks with this kind of tension under the surface. Naruto's hands found purchase with the material of rikku's shirt, and with a nod of the girl, pulled it up and over, exposing her upper body to him, the last of her chest covered by her bikini she wore underneath today for swimming. Rikku rushed in the kiss again even as naruto fiddled with the ti of the bikini and she felt it loosen and hang limply a second, before the second tie was pulled and it fell to the floor.

The cool air of the apartment on her heated skin was arousing, and feeling her nipples rub against the vest and mesh of naruto's shirt was stimulating. Deciding she didn't like being the only one exposed in some manner, she slid her hands under his vest and threw it off him, before devesting him of his mesh shirt. Naruto could feel her bare chest pressed to his now, and smirked slightly, feeling her against him, he leaned down and placed kisses to her neck, eliciting a soft gasp followed by low moans as his kisses to her skin became more forceful, his tongue flicking across her flesh and light nibbles with his teeth. Rikku held on to him as she endured the initial sensations, enjoying them immensely, before she felt his hands roam over her body. She didn't stiffen, not even on reflex, because there was no one else she trusted more to do this with than him, no one she cared for more than him.

Naruto's hands had fre reign as they traveled down her back with the lightst of touches, feeling the small hairs on her body bristle with the lightness of the touch, as his fingers scraped down ever so slightly and then press against the skin frmly at the small of her back as they slid down, running over her clothed rear, and giving a squeeze to he cheeks earning a louder set of moan, her loudest yet. However he was distracted a momet when he fel rikku's hands on his chest traveling down over cred muscles and to his waists, fingers slipping into the hem of his shorts, tugging at the tie string on the inside to release the knt, before feeling her hands slid down on his hips, his shorts following the motion down. She had her head on his shoulder as she did this all by touch alone, feeling him out before finding what she was wanting and grin as she kissed his neck while taking grip of him.

Naruto swallowed a moment, feeling her grip his length, it was hardening quickly from half mast to full mast already. Deciding not to be left of, he didn't fihg tit as his shorts dropped and he stepped out of them, but he pressed her to the wall to keep her in place and keep her head in his shoulder, while his own hands unclasped her garments, letting them fall. However he pulled up a bit on her bikini bottom, letting the material dig a little, earning sharp breaths with her moans. He pulled at the side ties once he had his reaction he wanted, finally leaving them both exposed, but neither could see the other at all, which made the experience of searching by feel that much more intense.

Sh bit his shoulder as she stroked his length, smiling knowing this was for her in total, not because of anyone else. Well, she might not be totally against the idea of one more, but she already had a mind for who if it came up. But she focused on him right now, feeling him out, one hand stroking, the other folding a loose two stone sack that hung from him, gently rolling her fingers along the skin, getting groans out of naruto that made her smile.

Naruto would admit to groaning and moaning here, but let it be said he wasn't not one to return the favor as his hands found her developing breasts and tweaked her nipples, feeling her teeth sink into his shoulder, only to harden the bite as his other hand found her moist mound and rubbed the length of entrance up and down with his fingers, flicking her nub on each up and down motion that made her shiver each time. Not like naruto was much better as she played with him expertly, no doubt their skill descended from teaching each other the gender specific lessons, experimenting with their gender swaps and the extent of things they have done with each other.

It was at this point, feeling rikku's teeth release his shoulder, he pulled his body away from hers, the cool air rushing between them sent shivers through them, but they looked to each other's eyes, breathing the other's breath before they looked down and found the sight of each other completely naked and aroused the only incentive they need to go further. Naruto pulled rikku over to the couch, damn well knowing the bed is too far for either to bare to get to, pulling hr down with him as he attacked her lips again. This time he felt the pressure between their groins, her wet lips against the length of his rod, grinding herself into him as she moaned into the kiss.

Naruto took the lead, knowing what was coming, they both did, but decided to reduce the edge as much as possible for her, as his thumb found her nub and started to rub while his other hand had hold of her hip, keeping her steady as she maoned from the pleasure. His lips released, he moved forward and took one of her nipples into his mouth, teasing it with his tongue while he sucked on her breast, making her grow louder. She rose slightly as she focused less on the grinding and mo on the fingers on her nub, letting his length rise to her entrance. He was taking great care here to do this right, as she got closer and closer to her peak.

Her breathing was short sharp and groaning in pleasure while she was being fiddled with by naruto, holding onto his head that was attached to her chest, all the while not paying attention to what he was about to do. When her breathing hitch as she felt her peak being hit, a sharp bite of pain, pressure, being filled and a mind numbing orgasm was what she experienced as naruto thrust up into hr, fully, right as he made her cum. Experiencing so many different sensations from a intense orgasm she couldn't bring herself to, and losing her virginity right at the very moment in happened. She yelled it out as she held onto her head, tightening her entire body to him as she held on for dear life.

Naruto had released her nipple in time to grit his teeth at the sudden thrust up he did, feeling the pressure and tightness of her vagina as she broke through her virtue and buried himself as deep as he could go just as he brought her to orgasm. Something he asked about when learning of inducing female pleasure, and kept to himself to use for rikku's benefit, of which she was reaping what he'd sown now. Holding onto her hips, feeling her convulse around his length, she eased and leaned back, looking down at him with a blissful smile, looking down to their connection with a big grin before leaning in and kissing him, giving a subtle motion of her hips to tell him to continue.

He rolled his hips twisting and rolling his length deep inside her, earning gasps and moans, not expecting this motion but certainly not complaining. However naruto held onto her as he turned and laid her back down to the couch, settling himself between her legs as he never left her, before pulling back, slowly, and pushing back into her. The moans that followed were deep and loud, as she reached and latch onto his shoulders with her hands, as his pace turned from slow and languid, to comparably a light jog as he took the depth and force easy for the time, letting her adjust. They were heated as they kept eyes locked, naruto feeling how tight and wet she was as she coled around his length, and rikku to how stiff and hard he was, the feeling of being filled, stretched and dived into repeatedly lie this better than anything she'd done herself.

Eventually naruto had given up on restraint and had quickened his pace, thrusting deeper and harder, getting louder and louder moans through a garbled mess of unintelligible words in al bhed that only he understood. He smirked at some of the things she said, and obliged as he went full tilt and buried himself deep into her, intending to do that anyway as he withdrew to the head before ramming back in deep into her. Her cries of pleasure were matched by his groans and grunts of effort and pleasure as well as he licked and bite on her neck, while her nails dug into his back. His testicles were slapping against her with every thrust, leading into the sounds of impact, heavy breathing, moans, grunts and other sounds filling the apartment.

Eventually naruto's own peak was swift approaching an feeling like not being the only one, ran a hand down her body an found that little nub, now engorged, and tweaked it while his hips did the work. Her cries turned louder, but she could feel him twitching inside her, and hooked her legs around him, holding her to him. The signal was received and he held nothing back as he continued to rail her, her own peak close. She knew it was upon naruto as he shuddered and took a few powerful thrusts, stiffened and then thrust her into her body, burying her into the couch cushions as she felt him hit his deepest thrust yet, followed by an invading warmth inside her, that as he pinched her clits with the releae inside her, sent her over the edge and she came just as hard, holding onto naruto as he came into her.

Both quivered at the combined release, holding onto the other and coming down from the orgasm. They looked to eachh ther and smiled. "Still... got a whole list...of things to do." Naruto breathed out and rikku just nodded, huffing as she smiled up at him, reaching up an grabbing his head, bringing him down into a deep kiss.

"Right...for both of us." SHe said, smiling deceptively, looking forward to deflowering naruko and naruto both of their firsts. They quickly grabbed one of the prepared cold waters and drank down greedily before they got backinto it right there on the couch, soon making use of their new flexibilty, reduced need to breath as much, their jutsu and really, anything and everything they could think of, putting their unnatural stamina to proper use.

Outside the apartment, two sets of eyes were watching. "Dam brats are good for something." A long white haired man giggled to himself as he furiously wrote in his notebook all that he was watching from his perfect vantage point careful not to alert the woman who was watching her students. Well aware of the fact the woman watching was masturbating as she watched.

"Damn, all I did was give them something to make their ejaculate taste sweet. I am so going to use this." She murmured to herself as she allowed the play of her fingers to bring her to a peak and orgasm, watching the two blondes keep going at it. "I would have brought something special if I knew they had porn stamina." She breathed out, but not daring to move lest she miss something from the free show since the two neglected to leave their living room, close the curtains or anything. First it was meant to guard them, but well... being frustrated herself, this was too tempting to pass up. She and jiraiya both were thoroughly amazed with everything they tried and did, wondering just where they learned a few of them at, learning a thing or two themselves.

Lemon end

The two awoke the next morning thoroughly sore everywhere, but glowing as they held each others' nude forms in their bed having somehow made it there during the night. That night had been amazing, though both made sure to use a recovery jutsu and a bit of insurance, rikku more so since naruto transformed back before that could set it and lock naruto in as naruko for nine months. While they obviously didn't try it, but if naruto could have a cycle as naruko, it was wholly possible pregnancy was just as possible, and neither wanted him to test it...well...no.

Their as a knocking at their front door, rousing them both and they grumbled, deciding to gnore it, before they heard giggling and looked to their bedroom door to see tenten, holding plastic bags of food in one hand and a drink holster in the other, a quirked eyebrow and a grin showing her amusement. "Have fun?" She asked, her grin splitting her face as the two blondes blushed and covered up. "I'll meet you in the living room when you come out." She stated easily, leaving the two blushing blonds to their embarrassment. But they smiled to each other soon enough and laughed, before getting a kiss in and getting dressed...well, as much dressed as two house robes allowed, really just too sore to think about moving enough to pull on anything else.

Walking out to the living room garbed in robes, using the walls and each other for support, tenten gave them a look that was speaking volumes of her amusement, interest and wonder. She knew of their physical aptitude, so to see them so well done in, she could only wonder just how good the sex was. Thoughts to rikku making her inviting comments, even as jokes, came to mind and she couldn't say she didn't find that tempting now if these were some of the results.

"So I came home yesterday and dad tells me you two stopped by, looking like you needed to talk so I came over. However when I got to the floor, guess what I find. A few of the other tenats outside your apartment in the hallway. Listening, and even grading what they were hearing compared to others they've heard." She said, deciding to drop that bomb on them right then and there. Their mortified expressions with heavy blush were her just rewards and she ate it all up. "You two won out in stamina compared to others, so congratulations, but they rated the noise level and number of yells within a minute a little above average, saying you got room to improve." She went on, and now the two just looked insulted. "Course then I told them some of what you can do like holding your breath for 8 minutes, which explains those gaps and silences they heard, so they regraded you there to good." Sh finished, giving a smirk as she set out the food on the coffee table, passing them their drinks.

"Now, I figured what you wanted to talk to me about was important, probably about this, but given the fact you were in well...deep, into it from what I heard, I didn't want to bother so I cleared out your audience and left. But I gotta say, I didn't imagine Naruko to be a screamer." She teased, getting a maroon color on naruto's face to rise, while rikku just snickered. "Still, I'm honestly still shocked at just how detailed that jutsu is. The possibilities outside of missions, like what you experienced, really works to help bring you closer together huh?" She asked, taking her tray of food to start eating, as did the two blondes.

"Yeah it does. I wouldn't have imagined being able to experience both sides of the coin and so thoroughly either, yet here we are." Rikku said since naruto didn't feel the need to speak right then, his face still heavily colored and heated. "But yeah, we needed your advice on that, Anko-sensei all but declared she wouldn't take us out of the village till we took care of it, but when we got here, anko-sensei fed us some kind of pill to help deal wth the jitters and it started making it really unbearable to ignore the ugh...urges." She said, looking away, getting a nod from naruto.

"Oh yeah, it tasted sweet. Not sure what kind of pill that was, but damn if it didn't do it's job." Naruto spoke, sighing contently, now having crossed that line, it was harder to see why they were so nervous before.

"Well thank her next you see her, I'm sure you're more than grateful judging by all this." She said, motioning with her chopsticks to the two of them and the mess around the apartment, including all the water bottles.

"y-Yeah. Anyway, not to fuss, but why'd you come over. I know we told you to come over whenver you wanted to, we gave you a key for that, but..." Naruto spoke, motiong to them and around the apartment.

"Because I wanted to talk. Dad told me you know what I was doing now, and I know he's not happy about it, and it makes you two nervous, so I wanted to talk with you two honestly about it. And see my two favorite blondes together after forever of having that awkward sexual tension between you two now realized to this." She spoke with a smirk.

"Thanks. But yeah, When we heard about that, we weren't really surprised since we know what's been going on, but more concerned than anything. You helped us realize the risks o the job and why we had to do this anyway, among other things. You're also our best friend, aside from kiba but he's more or less there for naruto as his guy friend, but even he's not as close to us as you are. So all that and knowing that the seduction mission do pay more, they are riskier, so we want to see what we can do and help out, so that maybe you don't have to do as many of them." Rikku spoke up, trying to help out their friend.

"That means a lot, more than you guys know, but I'll be fine, really. I've told you before we've been through worse and we got by. Just a hard spot, and no naruto, I'm not taking your money even if it is just sitting there." She stated, pointing at the whiskered teen who sighed. He made the offer whenever it came up, really they were using much of it just what they needed, so a lot of it just sat there. "Besides It's not like I intend to sleep around with crime bosses for undercover work, just some of the lighter jobs when I need them, that's all. As for help...well, aside from the lessons most of it is practical experience, so..."She trailed off, cluing them in on what was happening and nodded, not much help usless they were willing to participate, which did get both blondes thinking, and tenten did notice.

"So, since you two have finally decided to turn in your v-cards, what's on the agenda for the rest of the day?" Tenten asked, changing the subject.

"Honestly? Rest. We kind of went above and beyond with things we tried last night, and everything is sore." Naruto spoke, laying back into his seat, full and ready to go back to sleep. Evident as he pulled rikku in to snuggle against him on the couch while she eep'd but didn't resist once she realized what was happening, and snuggled into him.

Tenten just grinned at the two as they lazed there, no doubt theyd sleep there if allowed. "No doubt. Maybe next time you can tell me about some of things you did in detail. From what I saw in the bedroom, it's quite a long tale." She teased with a pun, making naruto face palm as he blushed at her obvious pun on him. Rikku just snickered but said nothing. "Anyway, you two get some rest, I'm sure the rest of the world will be fine without you for one day. Later guys."She called out as she walked away to the door, getting her sandals on before leaving and locking up. The two blondes just waved before passing out, happily content with full bellies now after all that.

The next morning they woke up early, huddled up on the couch with each other, and better recovered from going overboard on their first time. But they got a shower together, the hot water helping to ease away the rest of any aches and pains they might have had and then cleaned up the apartment of their mess before making a hearty meal. A rapid knock at the door caught their attention and they opened to see who it was.

"Hello there kiddies. Enjoy yourselves?" Anko asked immediately, up for teasing the blondes right from the get go. However rather than blushing, something that was useless with either anko, they just smiled at her and she pouted. "Aw, I was wanting more of a reaction than that. Ah well, least you got your kicks in finally." She said, inviting herself in as she sat down a small to go bag on their kitchen table. "Right, so now that you two popped your cherries, I don't feel so apprehensive about taking you out of the village. As a back up and interrogation team, we'll be paired with other teams heading out for c-rans where extra numbers can help out. However I need you two experienced, and while I know you two said you've killed before, we need to go a bit deeper than just bleeding you two. So in a week we'll have a c-rank of our own to handle. Understand?" She asked, getting a nod from both blondes. "Good."

"So aside from that, what are we working on for the next week?" Rikku spoke up.

"So glad you asked" Now the two were on edge with the tone she had taken on. "You see I've been working on your foundation skills, taijutsu, conditioning and helping you further refine everything you got. Making jutsu use less hand seals, better chakra control, the who deal. I think it's time we put it to the test. Basic gear loadout, nothing extra, Wear durable clothes, and come to training ground 44. This is an order. see you there in an hour." She called out with a smirk, leaving them to their devices. The two looked to each other, only able to guess just what she had in mind, but they had orders, and from either anko, they knew better than to disobey. So they got dressed in a couple of layers of clothes, standard gear of any ninja on active duty was required to have, ate a little extra in preparation, and then left for training ground 44.

However when they arrivd, they were apprehensive and on alert immeiately when they saw the fenced in forest, heard the roars and cries from beyond the trees and the general feeling that something was very wrong. "Welcome to my home away from home Kiddies. Been saving this for when I felt you two were ready." She said with a smirk, looking to the two of them. "Now I realize you might not understand it now, but this is my test or you two, personally. Not a test of teamwork, but honest ability." She started with, er grin very unsettling. "Because for one week you are going to spend in the forest, surviving the dangers present within, whilst avoiding attacks from your's truly and others who've I've persuaded into assisting. This is to test you in as close as real hostile territory circumstances as it can get outside the real thing, Survive here, you'll do well out past the walls. Any questions?"

Both raised their hands. "Good! Now enter through those gates and we'll start." She said before poofing into smoke, a shadowclone. The two looked to the forest and paled.

"She's exactly like our anko." Naruto said and rikku just nodded grimly. Slumped head and shoulders, they trudged over to the open gate and stepped through, the gate closing behind them once they were past, slamming shut. Now their nerves were on edge as they went further in. In a word, the week spent within the forest was, nightmarish. Anko had under exaggerated the amount of help and attacks she had expressed to them. Not 5 minutes in they were dodging kunai, shuriken and various jutsu, and recognized they were being directed to certain area's that required they avoid traps, dangerous flora and fauna, and others waiting for them. Those attacking them wore identical standard konoha BDU's of chunnin or higher, and head overs that shadowed all traits aside from the eyes, which gave little indication of who was attacking them. But their attackers were relentless as they used all forms of ninja combat to keep them on their toes.

The time whee they escaped their attackers was spent hunting, resting, or taking care of any other needs. Rest was difficult at frst, as they had to sleep back to back and keep watch from the same position, shaking the other awake for watch duty. And since they were comfortable with each other, they could wach each other's back when they were least guarded as well. Finally they had had enough and started to fight back, and being pranksters with a full benefit of enhanced ninja education, put it to use with some rather ingenius traps and a few that were plain ridiculous, but were more than successful. As evident by long strings or curses at anko from some of their attackers when they fell into their traps.

When the week was up, bot blondes emerged haggard, but smiling, knowing they'd been put through a gauntlet and coming out the other side, more than having survived, felt a bit victorious. "You two did alright." and that feeling of being victorious deflated. "Could have been better." and then it was stomped on. "But alright none the less. I want you two to report to the hokage's office, tomorrow at noon, get some rest." Anko spoke, waving off their success with a wave as she graded them before vanishing with the modified shunshin she learned from them.

The two tiredly returned home to clean up, rest and prepare their gear and travel scrolls with extra everything for tomorrow. It was a sluggish affair, but as they cleaned up for the day and ate, they found themselves on the couch, looking to each other and smiling slightly. "You know... We don't have to wake up early tomorrow." Rikku pointed out, while tired, they had gone from recently becoming fully commited couple to surviving and on their wits end for a week straight, so as she crawled up onto naruto's lap, he smiled at her.

"Yeah, I think she might have done that on purpose, but who am I to argue?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling the blonde that was stradling him closer to him, who smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning in and kissing his lips.

"Maybe a bit of a workout to help sleep come along will help us out, you sleep better after a workout ya know." She stated, kissing him more, and naruto chuckled as rikku was takin the lead this time.

"Yeah, maybe your right. So what kind of workouts did you have in mind?" He asked, his hands traveling up and down her back.

"Why don't I just show you." she stated, pulling off her shirt as she leaned back into naruto, putting her lips to his skin. Naruto was all too eager to partake, he would enjoy this and whatever happens tomorrow would be left for tomorrow. Tonight was for them.

As I said at the top, not my best, likely my worst for now. I may rewrite it in the future, but as of right now, I need to get it on paper or here, rather, and be done with it so I can move on mentally. Review and comment, let me know what you think. Future chapters hopefully will be better writen and paced along to move forward. Till the next chapter.
