Disclaimers: I did not create Naruto nor did I make Beauty & The Beast- a sad fact, but still a fact. This is purely a SasuNaru fanfic using someone else's characters.
Beauty & The Beast: A D-Rank Mission
Chapter 7
D~,'~~~
"Have you ever tried chewing your food? Just to see what it's like?"
"Shut up, Teme" Naruto mumbled around a mouthful of noodles.
"How are you not full yet?" Sasuke asked, glancing over at the ridiculous amount of empty ramen bowls piling up around them.
"Shut up Teme!"
"You already said that."
Naruto glared at the Beast, then went back to his ramen. He wouldn't let Sasuke ruin ramen for him. "You won't come between me and ramen, bastard. In fact, if it wasn't for the ramen, you wouldn't come with me at all!"
Sasuke choked and quickly chugged a glass of water to clear his airway. "I need you to start thinking before you speak."
"Whaawwutawlkingbout?"
"You wanna try that again?"
Naruto swallowed back a mouth full of ramen, pelican-style, which was absolutely horrifying to watch. "I said, what are you talking about?"
But Sasuke didn't hear him. His eyes were focused on a small piece of noodle stuck to the corner of Naruto's mouth.
Before he could think it through, like any rational Uchiha would, he reached out and gently brushed it away with his thumb. Still spellbound by his tantalizing mouth, Sasuke gently brushed his thumb across Naruto's bottom lip.
Naruto's eyes widened. "Sa-Sasuke..?"
The Beast blinked, then stared back, absolutely horrified. What the HELL am I doing??
"Ah- I figured this is where I'd find you two."
Sasuke quickly dropped his hand and turned away, letting his long dark hair cover the blush streaking across his face.
Kakashi raised an eyebrow. "Did I miss something?"
"Uh.." Naruto gave Sasuke one last confused look before turning his attention to his sensei. He grinned and scratched the back of his head. "N-not at all! I.. um- I was just about to go back."
He pushed off the stool quickly, too quickly, and stumbled, his foot slipping on the stupid robe again. Kakashi braced him, his eyebrow raised even higher, nearly lost behind his headband.
"Everything ok, Naruto?"
"Uh- yeah. Yeah, I'm- umm, I'll see you there!"
Kakashi watched the blonde run off, hands holding up his robe awkwardly to keep himself from falling on his face along the way.
He glanced over at the Uchiha. "You make another poor choice, Sasuke."
"Shut up.." he mumbled.
"I'll take that as a yes." Sasuke turned to glare at him as the silver-haired jonin dropped down onto the empty stool next to him. "Why are you so bad at this?"
Sasuke looked away, choosing to glare at the countertop instead.
Kakashi tapped his chin, once again pretend-pondering. He seemed to be doing that a lot lately.
"You know, I can't help but wonder if talking to him would be more effective than molesting him.." He shook his head, "No, that won't work.."
Sasuke rolled his eyes and pushed away from the counter. "Whatever."
Kakashi watched the Beast leave, then turned back to the counter and ordered himself his own bowl of ramen. He smiled to himself as he waited for his order.
This play is turning out to be far more entertaining than I thought it would be.

"Ohh- looking good, Uzumaki."
Naruto's eyes flashed at the group of boys nearby. "Fuck off" he growled, not even bothering to slow his steps as he headed back to the theatre.
One of them stepped closer, while his buddies followed in stride. "I'm not kidding. Hell, you kind of look like a girl."
Naruto clenched his fists. "Don't piss me off, dude."
"That's not really what I was picturing coming off." His group laughed, high-fiving each other.
Naruto had no idea what he was talking about.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
The lead douchebag paused mid-high-five, then laughed in disbelief. "Are you serious, right now? How dense can you be?"
"Whatever." Naruto walked on.
He still didn't really know what they were trying to get at, but he honestly didn't care. He already had enough going on. His mind flickered to the look on Sasuke's face as he moved his thumb across his lip. He shook his head, clearing it.
Freaking Teme is losing his damn mind.
A hand suddenly grabbed him by the arm, halting his progress and pulling him from his thoughts. "Hey! I'm talking to you!"
Naruto spun around, glaring at the baka. "Let go."
His group stepped up to surround them and the hand on his arm tightened. "Now, why would we do that?" He jerked Naruto towards him, smiling at his look of surprise.
"How about showing us what's under the robe, Uzumaki?" He yanked one side down, exposing the blonde's left shoulder.
"What the hell?!"
A deep growl moved in from behind them, and the group froze. "Wha-?"
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?!"
All of them spun around and came face to face with a beast. Or rather THE Beast. Sasuke glared at the group, sharingan spinning dangerously.
"Get. Away. From. Him." he ground out.
The group stared, completely frozen in place. When Sasuke took a step towards them though the spell broke, and they scrambled, running away as fast as they could.
Sasike glared after them for a moment longer before turning his gaze onto the irresistible blonde. Clearly it's not just me, he thought. If those assholes were ready to get their grubby fucking hands on him..
"You alright?" he asked.
Naruto nodded, pushing his robe back up. "Well.. that was weird."
Sasuke stared at him. "You really don't see it, do you?"
"See what?"
Sasuke sighed. "Nothing. Let's go, Dobe."
"Stupid Teme.." Naruto grumbled. But he quickly followed after him, lifting the hem his robe as he walked back to the theatre- a very confusing, and surprisingly kind, Beast by his side.

Author Note
Ok, so I'm sorry if that was a little.. much. I just got done writing one of my other stories, Hard to Read, and it is pretty dark and angsty, so some of that may have drifted into this chapter a little bit.
I promise- I will keep making this one light and hilarious (at least to me).
So if this chapter was a little off, I'm sorry. Don't worry though- I'll get back into the swing of things :)
