My Dobe

This starts off very soft with a few suggested assaults later on. This will get more mature later on, most likely with KakaIru first before any SasuNaru. Please be patient with that and I hope you enjoy!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto raced to the bridge his team had claimed as their meeting grounds. He was running late for once, having not slept well the night before. He had been having these weird dreams lately – nightmares really, even if his body disagreed when he awoke the next morning. Naruto finally made it to the bridge – after some near-catastrophes – only to be greeted by Sakura's fist.

"You IDIOT!!! Do you know how long we've been waiting for you?!" Sakura's high pitched scream could be heard – in Naruto's opinion – half way to Suna, "Even Kakashi-sensei has arrived. HOURS AGO!!"

Naruto winced, 'By god that woman can scream.' Naruto stood up a little unsteadily shaking his head, noting that his balance would be off for awhile until Kyuubi fully healed his eardrums. He looked over to his other two team-mates to find that indeed his perverted sensei was there, perched on the railing of the bridge, as usual, with his perverted orange book out. Looking closely he could see the tell-tale twitch under his sensei's right eye that indicated the older shinobis annoyance at her boisterous accusation at the blond ninja.

"S-Sakura-chan, s-sorry my alarm clock died sometime during the night, and I woke up late to find my neighbor's cat had traipsed mud all through my house, and after cleaning up I found out that I had run out of mil-"

"LIAR!!" Sakura cut down the unsteady attempt Naruto made to explain himself.

"But Sakura-chan-" the blond began to whine, only earning himself another hit upside the head.

"Dobe," the silent team-mate spoke up from his place leaning against the railing.

"S-shut up teme! It has nothing to do with you," Naruto yelled at the other boy, trying to ignore the funny feeling he had been getting in his stomach at the sight of Sasuke leaning nonchalantly against the railing. His shirt was discreetly raising to hint at the pale creamy flesh it normally hid.

"Dobe," Sasuke started with a sigh, "Of course it has everything to do with me, if you turn up late our training time is cut short."

Kakashi cut in before an argument could break out between the two, saying that they should head off to train now that all the team was in and seeing as there was no missions for that day. As Sasuke walked off towards the training grounds, steadfastly ignoring the pitiful – in his opinion anyway – attempts Sakura made at flirting. Kakashi pulled is hyperactive student aside for a moment letting the other team-mates go on ahead unawares.

"Did Sasuke tire you out last night?" Kakashi whispered in the blonde's ear, chuckling before disappearing in a puff of smoke as Naruto threw a shurikan at him.

"N-no, you p-pervert," Naruto stuttered. He could feel his right eye twitching and his face burn brightly red. Oh he was getting sick and tired of all the perverted comments his sensei kept telling him. All of it to do with the stupid teme. Speaking of which, Sasuke turned around to call out to the blond,

"Dobe, hurry up so I can pound you into the ground."

That was another thing he was sick of – Sasuke's attitude problem. Naruto hurried to catch up, trying to ignore a growing problem at the innuendo Sasuke probably didn't mean to imply. 'God damn teenage hormones,' the blond thought with a blush.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After an exhausting training session, Naruto had definitely had enough. He had almost beaten the Ice Prince – that was before the teme cheated. Using a genjutsu to make yourself all sexy was against the rules – not that he was sure there were any rules when it came to sparing. His sexy-no-jutsu was beside the point here, he had been winning before the teme cheated. Then to rub salt into his wounded pride Sakura ignored all his advances to dinner while trying to get the Uchiha's attention, which for some reason just pissed him off. No, he was not jealous of Sakura of all people, he had to be jealous of Sasuke. Why else would he have the urge to pull Sakura away from the teme and slap him across the face. The teme obviously deserved it.

Kakashi again made some more perverted comments that he didn't quite understand – nor did he expect he wanted to – and his favorite ramen stand was closed for the holiday. What holiday? The blond didn't even know there was a holiday.

Therefore it was understandably not a coincidence that when his team-mates were turning in for the night, they simultaneously shivered as if someone had walked over their grave. Again, the evil chuckling that could be heard from Naruto's apartment was also not a coincidence. That is until the neighbor's cat started to yowl at being awoken. Then one could hear cussing as the cat dirtied the blond's apartment for the up tenth time.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto was grinning like a cat who got the last bowl of cream when Sasuke arrived at the bridge on time. He just shrugged it off with a quite 'Hn' before going to his usual spot, storing it to the back of his mind with a mental note attached to watch his back. He – along with the rest of the village – had learnt a grinning-like-a-cat-Naruto was never a good sign. Things happened.

An hour later Sakura arrived, and after a nervous glance at the blond, she went about her daily ritual of 'Getting Sasuke To Ask Me Out'. After several minutes of this both team-mates became silent and cast a questioning glance to their blond team-mate. Only to recoil in shock to find him still with his cat-like grin and far away expression on his face.

Both team-mates gave the blond a weary glance before continuing on with what they were doing – albeit more quietly. It was this unusual sight that greeted Kakashi's late arrival.
