LadyRonin : Sorry gurl, you may not remember, but Neji got Gaara already (stated in first chpt) so Neji and Naru don’t have a sexual attraction to each other but no worries I will be using Neji’s good name to provoke the Uchiha into desperation mwah ha ha... bout your other questions you’ll just have too read and find out ne? Hee~~~
And to the rest of ya sethian, Nickles, sasunaruluv, Neji, Kuromei and to those who did not review (naughty~ holds a cane)
I am happy that these three chapters so far have made you guys laugh (I thought I had terrible sense of humour) and excited for more....
Disclaimer: I never owned Naruto and probably never will.
Enjoy the story….

*yawn*
A tan hand reached for the clock that was supposed to be on the side table. “Where the hell is it?” The half-conscious figure grumbled as his hands still fail to locate the mechanical object even after patting the entire surface. He reluctantly forced himself onto his elbows, heavy eye lids blinked lazily.
“Ah. There it is” The missing object is currently lying innocently across the bedroom floor, close to the toilet door. Naruto stared at the object for a good 5 seconds before he jumped of the bed and grab the clock off the floor in on swift motion.
5.45am “Shit!”
The blond ran into the bathroom and brushed his teeth, skipping shower. After giving his god damned face a splash of icy cold water that sent a waking jolt to his being, he ran out and pulled on a random black tee and pants within three seconds tops. Naruto grabbed the backpack he so gratefully packed up yesterday, turned around to give the apartment the last check before locking the door securely with a satisfied click.
Naruto adjusted his cloak that is threatening to fall off along with the heavy bag that kept on sliding of his shoulders as he jumped from tree to tree. Why the hell is the bag so heavy?! He held on to the hood tighter. Wouldn’t want the villagers to see him like this now would he. Too many questions will be brought up and too many complicating explanations will have to be made. Troublesome.
The villager’s previous dislike of Naruto have been placated for he have sacrificed a lot for Konoha throughout the years, gaining the trust and acknowledgement the boy had worked so hard for. Now that is settled, he didn’t want his current condition to be something unnecessarily brought up and cause some uproar. People might think him weird again and distance themselves. He wouldn’t want something like that to happen. He couldn’t, not when the people he cared about finally cared for him in return.
The Junchuuriki sighed in relief as the Konoha gates came into view. He stopped at a large tree and scanned the area. Ah there! Naruto spotted the back of a cloaked figure standing under an old tree close to gate. The blonde scrunched up his nose at the memory of being spit fired by Neji the last time they went out on a mission together. For a stoic looking guy, he can be surprisingly animated when you push the right buttons and punctuality is a ‘button’ Naruto has hammered on many, many times before.
Naruto hoped off the branch and landed gracefully. He stepped closer to the figure, taking a deep breath in preparation of the yelling that is to come. “Heh heh.. N-neji~~” The blond called out timidly in the sweetest voice he could muster. No reaction.
“You.are.half.an.hour.late Usurutonkachi” The other said as he turned to face the smaller blond. Cerulean blue widened comically.
“Teme?! What are you…. don’t tell me you’re coming with us?!” Naruto gasped
Sasuke gritted his teeth “Unfortunately Neji can’t come so Tsunade has appointed me to go with you instead” Somehow Naruto looked paler.
“What you have a problem with me?” Sasuke asked with a frown.
“N-no its not that.. I-”
“Then lets go before someone sees us” Sasuke sprinted off to the direction of their destination, leaving no room for further discussion. The raven heard a grunt and felt then blonde’s presence not far behind. He gave himself a satisfied smirk at the other’s obedience albeit unwillingly but the facial expression turned sour after that. He hadn’t liked how his dobe addressed the Hyuuga earlier.
No, he did not like it at all.

8.35 am…
Hokage Tower…..
“Tsunade-sama, Hyuuga Neji is here to see you. It’s urgent apparently”
“Fine… Send him in” The fifth Hokage sighed. The door opened wide and an anxious Neji strode in.
“Hokage-sama!”
“Yes, what is it you want to see me for?” Tsunade looked up from the document she was perusing moments ago.
“Iruka sensei met me on the way to hand in his report and he seemed surprise to find me here. HetoldmeNarutowentintoheatalready a-andIwassupposedtoescorthimtothesafehouse butIdidnotreceivedanymessagefromyou and I.can’t.find.Naruto.anywhere!”
Tsunade couldn’t help but stare at the Hyuuga’s outburst. The boy was panting while trying to keep himself composed. The busty woman couldn’t help but laugh.
“This is not funny Tsunade-sama!” Pastel white eyes widened in disbelief.
“Excuse me –cough- sorry -throat clearing-.. Calm down Neji. Naruto is fine. I had someone else escort him to the safe house instead”
“Huh? Who? No one else kne-”
“Uchiha Sasuke”
“What? When?... How?”
“Last night...Sasuke coincidently found the brat just as he ‘transformed’ near the Hokage mountain, falling off a cliff…. like you did” Tsunade explained casually as she expertly stamp on approved documents.
“Oh. So they’ll be together for the entire thing”
“U-huh....”
“O~kay……... I guess I’ll take my leave then” Neji said as he tried to absorb everything. “Thank you for seeing me Hokage-sama” Tsunade nodded in respond.
“I have to apologise on my part too.. Should’ve let you know earlier but I was busy. Please help me tell Iruka and Kakashi as well, thanks” Tsunade gave an apologetic look.
“Hai” Neji bowed formally and left the room seeming a lot relieved.
As the door close, the blond sanin let out a bark of laughter. These boys can be so cute sometimes. She dropped the pen and stretched out nicely to clear of the annoying stiffness when one get for being in the same position for too long. The woman got up and walked over to her closet and opens it. Red painted lips widened a fraction before going into a full blown cackle as her hand reached out to grab a bottle of perfectly brewed sake, courtesy of a certain raven who dropped by earlier this morning to seal the deal.
Flashback
“Night Tsunade~ baa-chan”
Tsunade threw the pen, missing the blond who ducked expertly and disappeared. “Show some respect kuso gaki!” Letting out a huff she sat down to continue with her remaining report or her assistant Shizune is going to continuously ramble until her ears bleed. Tch are these pens lousy or what? Tsunade looked at the faded paragraph on the paper trying to make out what she had written before. The busty blonde shook her pen some more.
“Tsunade-sama”
Tsunade lifted her head, blond eyebrows rose quizzically as she spotted the remaining Uchiha survivor standing in the center of the room before her. “Yes Sasuke-kun. Is there something I can help you with?”
“About escorting the do--Naruto, I’d like to do it”
A blonde brow arched considerably. “Tell me Sasuke-kun, why you would want to do this? I am sure you can guess how troublesome it can be taking care of the brat especially with his condition right now. You couldn’t stand being in the same room with him for five minutes, minus the arguing and all the ruckus the both of you can cause so~ why pray tell do you want to go through the unnecessary trouble”
“………………Personal reasons”
“Enlighten me”
“………………………I’d like to make up for my bastardy-ness as how Naruto put it”
Plump lips shifted into a lopsided grin “Don’t bullshit me Uchiha. I know how much you want to get into the brat’s pants”
“Idonotjustwanttogetintohispants!” Sasuke blurted out in protest.
“Oh?” The Uchiha across her is visibly sweating despite his pokerfaced expression. That hadn’t meant to come out huh. However, it is all the fifth Hokage needed to confirm her suspicion or rather everyone’s suspicion of the boy’s feelings towards her ‘younger brother’. Pfft it’s so obvious. You can feel the vibe when the two boys were in the same vicinity. All the childish banter was just a way to camouflage their attraction/love. Whatever… Naruto probably hadn’t confessed for fear of rejection while the Uchiha is most probably to proud to admit out loud he’s gay and head over heals for the blond boy. Sigh. Someone have to give them a good kick in the ass. “So what if I said.. no”
The boy’s sweat could fill a bucket by now. His forehead crinkled as his frown deepens in thought. Probably trying to find a solution. Just when Tsunade decided to speak up Sasuke interrupted her.
“How about we make a deal?”
Tsunade shut her mouth and smile in amusement. What could the young Uchiha offer her in exchange for the mission? What would he offer? She had actually decided to give into the boy’s request but since he brought the deal up, why don’t she take advantage of it? Mwah ha ha.
“I’m listening…… what do I get out of this deal?”
“I still have a good stash of superbly brewed sake that I happened to save before the Uchiha district was demolished. Thought it might be of use one day. I will give all of them to you”
“……but…I can always get sake Sasuke-kun…” Oh Tsunade is being evil now. Come on who wouldn’t take the chance to pull the Uchiha’s leg. The raven’s feathers needs to be ruffled a bit.
After ten seconds of silence, the poor boy let out a deep sigh “ Look… I know I probably have nothing I could give or do in order to make up for the things I have done for the past years… and I probably don’t deserve your forgiveness, Naruto’s and everyone else… but believe it or not I have changeda bit.. I think.. and I… care for Naruto…very much..and probably for a long time now. So… please give me a chance to take care of Naruto like how he deserves to be” Black orbs stared directly into hazel ones with so much intensity Tsunade couldn’t help but feel goosebumps.
Wow. That was almost as close as a love confession. ‘Ma, Its time to stop the game. Got some more paper work to be done’
“Alright… I agree”
At that Sasuke’s stiff posture relaxed immediately.
“I assume you prefer to tell Naruto bout this yourself?” Sasuke nodded.
“Fine… I need to make this clear so listen… During the heat Naruto is in his worst condition to be involved in any fights. He is unable to draw out chakra stably to perform Jutsus. He is utterly hopeless. Got it? Even his heeling rate is like a mere villager. That’s why I don’t want him to get into trouble hence try not to go out so often or too far. Knowing Naruto he’d probably want to go buy supplies of ramen and stuff at the village close by. There are people out there who are aware of the mating seasons biju go through. You get what I mean?”
“Yes Tsunade-sama. Thank you”
“Good. Now shoo! I have lots to finish… and don’t forget your part of the deal!” The sanin called out before the door shut close.
Knock. Knock.
“What now?!” The woman groaned.
The creaked open wide enough for the Uchiha’s head to pop in. “Tsunade-sama.. you have ink prints on your cheek. Good night”
The door shut close again.
End of flashback
Tsunade let out a huff. Could they not tell her sooner? What happens if she had to leave for emergency meeting or something? She swears they’re all out to get her sometimes. Deciding to push that memory aside, she smiled gleefully as she lowered her head to take a whiff of the wonderful smell of sake in the cup before downing it in one go. Letting out a satisfied sigh she twirls the remaining alcohol in the bottle, while looking forward to the outcome of this exchange.

9.47am…...
“Jiraya-sama, what is it that you and Kakashi were discussing about? Both of you were grinning and laughing non stop since I left to drop the report” Iruka inquired while placing his removed sandals onto the shoe rack.
“Oh nothing much really” The Toad Sanin replied nonchalantly.
“I don’t believe you Jiraya. I can see that glint in both of your eyes that tells me you’re up to something” Iruka gave the man on the couch a scrutinizing look on the way to the kitchen only to be stopped halfway and pulled into a strong chest.
“Just guy talk koishi” Kakashi gave his lover a peck on the forehead.
“Then what the hell am I?”
“Oh you know what I mean” The scarecrow let go of Iruka and plopped himself on the couch opposite Jiraya. “Oh yeah..um.. Sasuke is the one escorting Naruto now, change of plans”
Iruka reversed and turn to face the man. “Hey I was about to tell you that. Neji came to see me at school. Actually, I met before that and I was surprised to see him. He was surprised too when I told him about Naruto so he went to see Tsunade. How did you know about it?”
“Him” The Jounin pointed at the Sanin.
“Oh…and..Tsunade-sama told you?”
“Well.. something like that” Jiraya took a sip of green tea from the cup in his hands.
“When?”
“Last night”
“………...Kashi”
“I forgot?” The Sharingan wielder gave a toothy grin
“Sure” Iruka said skeptically.
After a moment of silence, the brunette walked over to his lover and hugs him from behind. “Kashi, does any of this have something to do with your disappearance at two in the morning?”
“Um… Something like that” Kakashi turned to kiss Iruka fully on the lips.
SNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSNSN
“Dobe! What the hell did you put in your freegin bag?!” Sasuke heaved in oxygen like never before.
“Clothes! How many times have you been asking me? Look if you’re too tired to carry it then give it back to me!” Naruto stopped on a branch half a meter away from the raven.
“Tch, you’ll just slow us down again” Sasuke leapt pass the smaller boy, ignoring the ‘what the hell?’ looks other is directing at him.
A two-hour journey had been extended with an additional of one hour due to the multiple stops they have to make. Naruto’s weak state is already enough to cause a delay in their travel but the ridiculously heavy package is slowing them down even further! The blond had to stop every forty minutes!
At the third stop and hopefully the last, Sasuke decided to switch bags with Naruto and boy was he really tempted to open the bag and dump half the contents just then and there. All the way the raven had been silently cursing at Naruto’s lack of common sense and so on so forth.
Smack!
“Why the hell did you suddenly stop?!”
“We’re here” Naruto turn to face him.
Sasuke looked pass the blond and saw nothing but trees, trees and more trees. The raven looked at the other incredulously. “I thought you said you knew where it is”
The blond rolled his eyes and hopped of the tree. “The safe house is being covered by Genjutsu… use your sharingan”
Sasuke hoped down beside the other and activated his eyes. “Quite complicating. It’ll take time to diffuse the damn thing”
“Nah we don’t have to waste time. Tsunade-baa chan gave me…” Naruto reached for his bag and opened the small pouch on the side, taking out a small scroll “..this”. He took a few steps forward while rolling out the scroll. After that bit he his finger and smeared his blood across the enchanted scribbles on the paper and toss it. Immediately the artificial image of the effected area moved into a swirl, like oil paint on water, disappearing like it was never there. What was left is a decent looking traditional style house which is quite large in size probably meant for a group of six and a properly kept garden with tall healthy bamboos in the surrounding area.
Sasuke followed the blond into the house and dropped the bag in relief. The raven stretched his sore arms before he decided to take a look at the place. He had been to other safe houses but this one is larger and assumed to be more equipped. Guess it’s for long stays.
The bedrooms are on his left. The one directly in front of him leads to the Kitchen and beside it is a dinning room with another door that leads to the outside. Sasuke slid it open, allowing the refreshing wind to ventilate the stuffy air inside. He stepped out to the small porch. On the side, a coffee table accompanied with a couple of wooden chairs was situated. He was about to continue with the exploration but a voice had call out to him.
“Yeah I’m coming” Picking up the heavy load on the way, Sasuke strode to the second room where he assumed the voice came from. The raven walked through the opened door to see the other laying down on the futon at the end of the room, wiggling his feet playfully, Sasuke’s bag left forgotten by the bedroom door. Sasuke’s eyebrow twitched. “Your bag”
“Oof!” Naruto sat up startled as the item was dropped onto his stomach. “Teme!”
The boy ignored the insult and walked towards the door. “I am going to bathe. Where’s the bathroom?”
“Turn right, straight ahead”
“Hn…. I’ll take the room opposite yours” At that Sasuke left the blond’s room, not bothering to close the door.
With a pout, Naruto got up to shut the door as the raven left the room and went to unpack his stuff. “Is it so difficult to close the door?” The Junchuuriki grumbled as he dragged his bag over to the closet and sat down.
“O~kay… toothbrush, towel…my boxers…. T-shirts, hey why are there only two?” Naruto rummage his bag some more only to pull out another two pair of pants. What happened to the other five?! The boy dug deeper through scrolls and books until floral patterns caught his eye. “What’s this?” Naruto overturn the sack and shook the remaining items out. His eyes grew larger from one article to another as it fell to the floor. The tatami mat is now strewn with several beautifully patterned Kimonos which are certainly not designed for male use; plain hairclips and hair bands were replaced with Geisha Hair pins and sticks, *Ichirinzashi-s and may others that Naruto did not bother to notice in his stupor. He continues to rummage through the pile of clothes in hope of finding his own belongings. A folded paper which is stuffed in one of the *Geta-s suddenly caught his eye. It appears to be an envelope so he ripped it open and glance through the message. Each passing word drove his annoyance to the limit. When he managed to the last, all patients and tolerance flew out the window as he crumple the piece of paper and chuck it.
“What’s the racket usuruto- ow! Fuck” Sasuke picked up the paper that flew to his right eye. Naruto stormed out to the bathroom before the raven could say anything. Sasuke turned to the chaotic looking floor raising an eyebrow at the mess. “What the hell is he so pissed about?”
Feeling a little inquisitive; he opened the wrinkly ball and read it. The letter may have been the cause of the blond’s tantrum but it undoubtedly made Sasuke’s day brighter. He folded the paper and slipped it into the inner left pocket of his Yukata and exits the room with a smirk.
Thank you Jiraya, Kakashi.

Japanese terms:

* Geta- Wooden slippers
A/N: Okay this chapt gave me a lotta problems.. I had to go over the damn thing again and again.. I had difficulties in giving the description of the safe house cause I know nuts about it… did some research but I only got a handful of info that I could depend on…. oh man, I still don’t think its that great (depressed).. What do you think? Review please~~..
Wait!! One more thing.. beginning of the next chapt it’ll be focusing on SasuNaru.. I have some ideas (some evil ones to provoke Sasuke with too) but I’d love it if you guys could give some suggestion that might help trigger my inner evilness that is currently sleeping somewhere in the middle of my mind. Dunno why but I lack some motivation these couple of days.. *sniff* I don’t want to have a writer’s block… I don’t wanna!
Ah I have an idea…we’ll play doctor/patient …you guys are my doctors and I the patient. You could give me ten doses of reviews for this chapter and maybe it’ll cure the writer’s block syndrome that is threatening to consume me (of course it’s even better if you could give me more).
Bye!
Love

The creaked open wide enough for the Uchiha’s head to pop in. “Tsunade-sama.. you have ink prints on your cheek. Good night”
The door shut close again.
End of flashback
Tsunade let out a huff. Could they not tell her sooner? What happens if she had to leave for emergency meeting or something? She swears they’re all out to get her sometimes. Deciding to push that memory aside, she smiled gleefully as she lowered her head to take a whiff of the wonderful smell of sake in the cup before downing it in one go. Letting out a satisfied sigh she twirls the remaining alcohol in the bottle, while looking forward to the outcome of this exchange.

9.47am…...
“Jiraya-sama, what is it that you and Kakashi were discussing about? Both of you were grinning and laughing non stop since I left to drop the report” Iruka inquired while placing his removed sandals onto the shoe rack.
“Oh nothing much really” The Toad Sanin replied nonchalantly.
“I don’t believe you Jiraya. I can see that glint in both of your eyes that tells me you’re up to something” Iruka gave the man on the couch a scrutinizing look on the way to the kitchen only to be stopped halfway and pulled into a strong chest.
“Just guy talk koishi” Kakashi gave his lover a peck on the forehead.
“Then what the hell am I?”
“Oh you know what I mean” The scarecrow let go of Iruka and plopped himself on the couch opposite Jiraya. “Oh yeah..um.. Sasuke is the one escorting Naruto now, change of plans”
Iruka reversed and turn to face the man. “Hey I was about to tell you that. Neji came to see me at school. Actually, I met before that and I was surprised to see him. He was surprised too when I told him about Naruto so he went to see Tsunade. How did you know about it?”
“Him” The Jounin pointed at the Sanin.
“Oh…and..Tsunade-sama told you?”
“Well.. something like that” Jiraya took a sip of green tea from the cup in his hands.
“When?”
“Last night”
“………...Kashi”
“I forgot?” The Sharingan wielder gave a toothy grin
“Sure” Iruka said skeptically.
After a moment of silence, the brunette walked over to his lover and hugs him from behind. “Kashi, does any of this have something to do with your disappearance at two in the morning?”
“Um… Something like that” Kakashi turned to kiss Iruka fully on the lips.

“Dobe! What the hell did you put in your freegin bag?!” Sasuke heaved in oxygen like never before.
“Clothes! How many times have you been asking me? Look if you’re too tired to carry it then give it back to me!” Naruto stopped on a branch half a meter away from the raven.
“Tch, you’ll just slow us down again” Sasuke leapt pass the smaller boy, ignoring the ‘what the hell?’ looks other is directing at him.
A two-hour journey had been extended with an additional of one hour due to the multiple stops they have to make. Naruto’s weak state is already enough to cause a delay in their travel but the ridiculously heavy package is slowing them down even further! The blond had to stop every forty minutes!
At the third stop and hopefully the last, Sasuke decided to switch bags with Naruto and boy was he really tempted to open the bag and dump half the contents just then and there. All the way the raven had been silently cursing at Naruto’s lack of common sense and so on so forth.
Smack!
“Why the hell did you suddenly stop?!”
“We’re here” Naruto turn to face him.
Sasuke looked pass the blond and saw nothing but trees, trees and more trees. The raven looked at the other incredulously. “I thought you said you knew where it is”
The blond rolled his eyes and hopped of the tree. “The safe house is being covered by Genjutsu… use your sharingan”
Sasuke hoped down beside the other and activated his eyes. “Quite complicating. It’ll take time to diffuse the damn thing”
“Nah we don’t have to waste time. Tsunade-baa chan gave me…” Naruto reached for his bag and opened the small pouch on the side, taking out a small scroll “..this”. He took a few steps forward while rolling out the scroll. After that bit he his finger and smeared his blood across the enchanted scribbles on the paper and toss it. Immediately the artificial image of the effected area moved into a swirl, like oil paint on water, disappearing like it was never there. What was left is a decent looking traditional style house which is quite large in size probably meant for a group of six and a properly kept garden with tall healthy bamboos in the surrounding area.
Sasuke followed the blond into the house and dropped the bag in relief. The raven stretched his sore arms before he decided to take a look at the place. He had been to other safe houses but this one is larger and assumed to be more equipped. Guess it’s for long stays.
The bedrooms are on his left. The one directly in front of him leads to the Kitchen and beside it is a dinning room with another door that leads to the outside. Sasuke slid it open, allowing the refreshing wind to ventilate the stuffy air inside. He stepped out to the small porch. On the side, a coffee table accompanied with a couple of wooden chairs was situated. He was about to continue with the exploration but a voice had call out to him.
“Yeah I’m coming” Picking up the heavy load on the way, Sasuke strode to the second room where he assumed the voice came from. The raven walked through the opened door to see the other laying down on the futon at the end of the room, wiggling his feet playfully, Sasuke’s bag left forgotten by the bedroom door. Sasuke’s eyebrow twitched. “Your bag”
“Oof!” Naruto sat up startled as the item was dropped onto his stomach. “Teme!”
The boy ignored the insult and walked towards the door. “I am going to bathe. Where’s the bathroom?”
“Turn right, straight ahead”
“Hn…. I’ll take the room opposite yours” At that Sasuke left the blond’s room, not bothering to close the door.
With a pout, Naruto got up to shut the door as the raven left the room and went to unpack his stuff. “Is it so difficult to close the door?” The Junchuuriki grumbled as he dragged his bag over to the closet and sat down.
“O~kay… toothbrush, towel…my boxers…. T-shirts, hey why are there only two?” Naruto rummage his bag some more only to pull out another two pair of pants. What happened to the other five?! The boy dug deeper through scrolls and books until floral patterns caught his eye. “What’s this?” Naruto overturn the sack and shook the remaining items out. His eyes grew larger from one article to another as it fell to the floor. The tatami mat is now strewn with several beautifully patterned Kimonos which are certainly not designed for male use; plain hairclips and hair bands were replaced with Geisha Hair pins and sticks, *Ichirinzashi-s and may others that Naruto did not bother to notice in his stupor. He continues to rummage through the pile of clothes in hope of finding his own belongings. A folded paper which is stuffed in one of the *Geta-s suddenly caught his eye. It appears to be an envelope so he ripped it open and glance through the message. Each passing word drove his annoyance to the limit. When he managed to the last, all patients and tolerance flew out the window as he crumple the piece of paper and chuck it.
“What’s the racket usuruto- ow! Fuck” Sasuke picked up the paper that flew to his right eye. Naruto stormed out to the bathroom before the raven could say anything. Sasuke turned to the chaotic looking floor raising an eyebrow at the mess. “What the hell is he so pissed about?”
Feeling a little inquisitive; he opened the wrinkly ball and read it. The letter may have been the cause of the blond’s tantrum but it undoubtedly made Sasuke’s day brighter. He folded the paper and slipped it into the inner left pocket of his Yukata and exits the room with a smirk.
Thank you Jiraya, Kakashi.

Japanese terms:
* Ichirinzashi- ( you need too google or yahoo this one.. I don’t know how to explain but it’s a hair accessory)
* Geta- Wooden slippers
A/N: Okay this chapt gave me a lotta problems.. I had to go over the damn thing again and again.. I had difficulties in giving the description of the safe house cause I know nuts about it… did some research but I only got a handful of info that I could depend on…. oh man, I still don’t think its that great (depressed).. What do you think? Review please~~..
Wait!! One more thing.. beginning of the next chapt it’ll be focusing on SasuNaru.. I have some ideas (some evil ones to provoke Sasuke with too) but I’d love it if you guys could give some suggestion that might help trigger my inner evilness that is currently sleeping somewhere in the middle of my mind. Dunno why but I lack some motivation these couple of days.. *sniff* I don’t want to have a writer’s block… I don’t wanna!
Ah I have an idea…we’ll play doctor/patient …you guys are my doctors and I the patient. You could give me ten doses of reviews for this chapter and maybe it’ll cure the writer’s block syndrome that is threatening to consume me (of course it’s even better if you could give me more).
Bye!
Love
