THWAK

 

The Hokage jumped startled as a large brown folder landed on her desk disturbing her mid-day Sake induced nap. Wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth she directed sleep hazed brown eyes at the victim-shinobi.

“Nani?” The younger shinobi smirked cheekily at her with sparkling hazel eyes. The Hokage groaned it could only mean one thing, glancing down at the brown lump on her desk she picked it up flipped it open and scanned the contents before slamming it shut. Her eyes wide and serious she addressed the young woman.

“Has anyone else seen this?” Kat folded her arms over her chest.

“No Hokage-sama.” Tsunade stood from behind her desk coming around the desk to stand directly in front of the young woman she was still holding the brown folder clutched tight to her chest.

“And the copies?”

“Safely hidden where no one will think to look.”

“Good.” The Hokage thrust the folder back into Kats hands surprising the young woman. “Keep this safe for the time being, let no one see these or let anyone know we have them you know what to do with them that is your mission. Dismissed!” Kat straightened, tucking the folder under her arm and gave the Hokage a military salute.

“HAI!” She answered the older Blonde woman before turning on her heel and exiting the office. The Hokage turned moving to the window and looked out over the village. Somewhere in the Hidden Leaf three of the most powerful shinobi of their generation sat oblivious to the current situation.

 

“KAT!” Naruto called to his girlfriend just before sweeping her off her feet and spinning around with her in his arms. Kat laughed wrapping her arms around the blondes neck, she buried her face in his neck and gave it a lick enjoying the shivers it caused him and the goose bumps it raised on both their flesh. It never failed to amuse her when she made him stumble just from something so simple.

“Oi don't do that.” He panted making Kat snuggle closer and lick him again before sucking lightly on the spot.

“Do what?” she mumbled. It would have go further, `Should have gone on!' Kat groused to herself, when they where interrupted by a shout from Kiba.

“YO!” Naruto set the red head back on the ground but kept his arm around her waist a soft growl of warning escaping him as the dog lover got closer.

“Man you two are hard to find!” Kiba smiled winningly at them then gestured behind him back the way he had come.

“Sakura asked me to find you guys and tell you to meet us at Ickiruka's for lunch tomorrow. She said she had something to tell everyone.” Naruto grinned at the other shinobi broadly nodding his head, Kat plastered a slight smile on her face more of a one-sided lip twitch and watched as the man and his dog left.

“Damn that dogs huge!” She said, she glanced at Naruto out the corner of her eye. It had been almost 2 months since the battle and in that time the blonde had managed to control his outward appearance to a certain degree. He still retained the slitted pupils and the whisker marks but the claws had receded as well as differinating the mirade of scents filling the village with help thanks to the Inuzuka teen.

His heightened sense of smell had caused him some embarrassment over the first 2 weeks, especially for Kat. She blushed thinking about it, some personal female events didn't need to be broadcast. She had long since forgiven him since it forced him to come find her thinking she was bleeding to death, instead of avoiding her. When he tried to run after affirming she wasn't dieing she gave chase, Uchiha's are stubborn and once they set their mind on someone they don't give up. The chase that ensued left no one in doubt as to what was going on, using ever jutsu she could think of Kat followed him throwing everything she had into capturing him.

It was comically really, Sasuke had watched the two from a distance, the blonde baka had been hiding in his old apartment only letting Sasuke see him. Not being one to coddle he had been forced into looking after his teammate since he refused to leave the apartment.

 

“Idiot go get your own ramen.” Sasuke had chastised the Rokudiame.

“Saaaassukeeee!” the other had whined at him, he had even gone so far as to fall to his knees dramatically throwing his hands in front of his face and bowing his head. When this failed to get the desired response he stood up and huffed turning his back on his brother.

“You just want me to starve.” He sulked

“Eat what's here already or get it your self.” The other ordered taking a seat his eyes already trained back on the book he had been reading. He looked up when he noted that Naruto had not responded, the Blondes back was stiff as a rod his head twitched like a dog scenting the air he twitched one more time then had shot out of the room and into his own slamming the door behind him. Seconds later a knock on the door made the young man blink he stood to answer and found Sakura and Iruka smiling hesitantly on the other side the academy teacher had been holding a brown sack from Ichiruka's.

“So…Sasuke-kun…we brought ramen.” The scent filled the doorway and entry hall and Sasuke had been sure that the smell alone would have driven his companion out but no such luck. Bowing deeply Iruka thrust the sack at him.

“Its Miso and pork his favorites.” The teachers eyes had been suspiciously misty and Sakura had looked no better, Sasuke had returned the bows thanking them and would have invited them in but both had declined sighting previous responsibilities and left. He had plopped the sack down on the counter and taken a seat in one of the stools, he would have normally called his teammate out but this time he would wait, 30 mins later the door creaked open and he emerged.

“What?” The Blonde had asked.

“How did you know?” A flinch and a twitch was all he got as the Rokudiame took a seat opposite reaching for the sack Sasuke pulled it back and received an indignant glare.

“Kyuubi gave me heightened senses when we merged I can't turn them off, that's why I've been here.” Sasuke understood now why the other couldn't go back to his apartment.

“That's why you were sick in the woods.” It was a statement of fact and the blonde only nodded his head. “And... why you are avoiding everyone?” The blondes head shot up leveling a cold glare at his best friend growling.

“Look at me, I don't look human anymore!” The blonde had raised his hands holding them up for the other to see, the clawed fingers though clean made the blonde grimace with distaste. Running a hand though his hair he stopped mid way and yanked on a handful. The once sunshine bright was a darker shade at the ends fading to a lighter shade towards the roots, it wasn't an overly obvious difference but the blonde was affected deeply nonetheless. Trying to convince him otherwise wouldn't work and Sasuke knew the only one who could make him realize that was Kat and Naruto had been avoiding her as much if not more then anyone. So he had done what he could he picked a fight with the blonde successfully distracting him and thus another week had passed.

 

During that time Kat had finally managed to corner the blonde persuade him to let Kiba help with his heightened senses and to start emerging back into the villages daily life. Now a mouth later things where somewhat back to normal or close to it, Itachi's presence in the village made many older members of the council nervous as it did many older shinobi who had served with him when he was a captain in ANBU. Even the younger generation wasn't left unaffected and a reemergence of Uchiha stalking was born despite being a nukenin or the ANBU guards that flanked him everywhere he went. Sasuke had his fair share of stalkers but once his and Sakura's relationship became public knowledge it all but disappeared.

Sasuke had smirked when Neji thanked him rather sarcastically in the mission room for the increase in the number of females stalking him.

“Sakura can be quite convincing when she wants to.” The sly smile on the Uchiha heirs face irked Neji and he narrowed pale eyes at the man before stalking off.

“Sasuke-kun.” Iruka called to his former student, he had watched quietly as the two exchanged words before calling out to him.

“How is Naruto?” It was the first thing the man asked every time he saw the Uchiha, it hurt him immeasurably that the teen was avoiding him but their was nothing he could do about it, they all were being avoided save Sasuke and now Kat.

“He's at the apartment getting fat on ramen.” The dry disapproving tone rolled out from the young man. Iruka smiled a deep sadness reflecting in his dark brown eyes.

“Tell him I said hello.”

“Tell me yourself that bastard wont pass anything on to me.”

“NARUTO!” Iruka jumped up from his seat his eyes where wide as he regarded the blonde. He had changed to black pants with the ankles wrapped down to his shinobi sandals which where also black his shirt was black mesh over which he wore a darker still orange jacket similar to the one he wore before with the same black around the collar and sleeves. He had changed his hiati-eta cloth as well in favor of a full bandanna covering his hair and he wore sunglasses the lens so dark the eyes weren't even visible. Iruka was stunned, dressed as he was with his hands stuffed in his pockets instead of behind his head he looked completely different. Kat standing behind him shoved him further into the room.

“Its rude to just lounge in doorways, Dobe.” Iruka blinked at the two, the only other person to call him that was Sasuke and Iruka was reasonably certain that it was the red head who had spoken. Kat was leaning with her back against the wall she had a good view of the shocked expression on the chunnin's face right before it was blocked by an even more enticing view. The blonde shinobi had planted both his hands on either side of her head effectively trapping her in place, her cheeks flushed pink as she looked up meeting a very heated gaze. Her stomach did flip's as the blonde lowered his head slowly inch by inch.

“Pervert.” She muttered feeling the heat travel down her neck Sasuke cleared his throat snapping them back to reality. He dropped his hands but before straightening he placed a light kiss on her lips that managed to convey exactly what he was planning on doing to her later.

The blonde moved back but before he could stop her Kat reached up and removed his sunglasses pecking him on the cheek.

“Naruto, uhm how have you been?” Iruka was smiling hesitantly at the young man, between Kat and Sasuke he had been well briefed about the blonde's altered appearance so he was more or less ready for anything; when Naruto turned around and opened his eyes Iruka gasped clapping a hand over his mouth. Naruto's face paled and he stepped back into Kat who wrapped her arms around his waist resting her head in between his shoulder blades her whole body trembling. Taking a deep breath he let one hand rest over her hands on his stomach, when he looked back up Iruka was nose to nose with him the older shinobi reached up and whacked him on the head.

“Itaiii, Otou what was that for!?” the blonde rubbed his head, blinking in confusion at his surijet father.

“You should have come sooner!” One hand propped on his waist the other busy wagging a finger under the blondes nose. Kat couldn't stop herself she burst out laughing the hand holding her own tightened in surprise so she used the back of his jacket to wipe her eyes while continuing to laugh.

“Next time Naruto don't you dare hide from me!” Laughing sheepishly the blonde nodded his head. After that things went smoothly since almost every one had gone home for the day the only one left was Iruka being the only way they could get the blonde to meet with him was promising not to make him go at the busiest time of day. Kat stood to one side laughing occasionally at one remark or another that either Naruto or Iruka made most of the talk centered around pervious missions. Iruka took that time to expound on some of the more devious stunts the Rokudaime had pulled before he was even a gennin.

“…had to clean them all day then Otosan took me for ramen.” Iruka was laughing as he remembered that day. It had taken until late into the night for Naruto to finish cleaning the hokage faces and the conversation they had at the ramen stand had endeared the blonde to him even more. Their group had moved outside to one of the many balconies off the hokage tower it was still early enough that the fading sunlight painted the roof tops in varying shades of red and orange even the shadows seemed lit. Sasuke was leaning against the railing on Kats right making a comment every now and then which mostly consisted of him giving the customary `hn'. Kat smiled at those moments she was absorbed into the stories that the three told especially Iruka's retelling, Naruto could be extremely animated when he spoke using his hands and arms to express his points. She watched as the evening sun continued to sink into the horizon until soon the street lamps flickered to life. It was the first time in the two months she and Sasuke had worked with the blonde that he was acting normally, he laughed loudly the sound carry out to the village and for the first time since the battle with Akatsuki and Orochimaru the village relaxed. Random shinobi who had meet the blonde on different missions over the years sighed a collective breathe it looked the village had its heart back.

“You're smiling.” Kat blinked inclining her head to Sasuke her hazel eyes reflected the peace she felt, he offered a genuine smile in return.

“Yes I am.” She didn't get the chance to say anything further because the next second she found herself slung over a broad strong shoulder being carried away over the rooftops.

“Naruto!” Kat grabbed at the back of his jacket blushing profusely when his hand ghosted over her backside.

“Later Sasu-nii!” The blonde called out disappearing into the dark.

Kat was grinning from ear to ear by the time the blonde finally set her back on her feet and she had the worst case of the giggles. Once she was safely back on the ground with both her feet under her again she looked around noticing that they at his front door, while Naruto was busy searching his pocket for his keys Kat turned around and leaned back into her boyfriends back he turned his head to look over his shoulder at her then returned to unlocking his door. When he finished that task he pushed the door open with a wicked smirk in place he took a quick step forward and to the right not expecting the move she blinked as she realized nothing was stopping her backward descent it was halted by a pair of strong arms wrapping around her, Naruto's voice was deep almost a growl and his breath ghosted her cheeks.

“Have you fallen for me?” Kat gulped blushing she snorted trying to hide the heat rising to her face.

“Good Grief.” She meant for the words to come out more sarcastically but only managed a breathy sigh. She coughed to clear her throat, words failed her when their eyes locked she licked her lips and the action caught the blondes attention.

“You smell…edible.” The small fire in the pit of her stomach blazed into an inferno at the implication of his words. Her hands that rested on his upper arms squeezed bunching the fabric of his jacket making her shiver in delight, her back collided with something soft she hadn't even realized he had moved them into the apartment or closed the door.

“Baka aren't y..” she was cut off by his lips crashing down on her own. His hands took up a quest brushing over her entire body lighting small sparks that traveled to her brain and shut off all coherent thought. Fingers ghosted over her stomach under the fabric of her shirt as his lips seared the skin of her neck just behind her right ear. The tingling intensified at the intimate kiss, her legs of their own will wrapped around his waist, Naruto had moved his legs under himself grabbed her hips grinding there bodies together. Kat gasped, the evidence of his desire burning a hole in her pants she reached out removing a kunai from her pouch as he did the same and drug the sharp blade down the front of his shirt as he reciprocated with his nails slicing her shirt to ribbons while his mouth traveled down her neck to her chest all that remained was her bra. Tan skin gleamed in the moonlight as he sat up to shrug the remains of his shirt off he looked at her fully.

“Beautiful.” Was all he could manage, his hands tightened on her hips pulling her closer. Kats back arched off the sofa her mind spun, they were so lost in the moment neither noticed that their privacy was invaded.

It wasn't until the scent of blood reached the blonde that he looked up confused and more than a little dazed to find his former sensei's standing in his doorway in a pool of blood and staining the front of their shirts as a steady flow ran down both of their noses. It was comical really Kat would tell him later but the immediate reaction of the pair was more violent then what the two older men where expecting and it was only though the grace of years of training and experience that saved them from a brutal mauling. Kat, still holding the Kunai she used on Naruto's black shirt, eyes widened blinked when she opened her eyes again the Sharingan was spinning madly. The Kunai left her hand in a flash baring hilt deep in the opposite wall, Kakashi was clutching his nose to stop the blood flow and Jirayia who had evaded the weapon stood once again in the door way with a glazed expression.

“I've taught you well you are truly my protégé!” It was the stupidest thing he could have possibly chosen to say. The silver haired jounin groaned it was bad enough they had walked in on the two now the toad sage was making it worse. He pulled his hand over his face and when his eye was visible again both Kat and Naruto had untangled themselves from their erotic position unfortunately the blonde looked anything but calm and neither did the red head. Kakashi thinking retreat was the wisest decision began to back towards the door he looked to his companion trying to ascertain the mans position only to find him slack jawed the cause being Kats state of undress. The Jounnin looked back at his students, he had to admit, Kat was something else flat stomach firm arms round… “'Bad Kakashi must not see student like that.'”

He gulped as the blonde advanced. Just when he thought things couldn't get worse Jirayia true to his perverted nature wiped out a note pad and began scribbling it was the last straw for Naruto he launched himself at the man with a snarl, the toad sage seemed to realize the position he was in and took off summoning a large toad to out hop the enraged blonde. Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief that Naruto had not chosen him to attack but that was short lived.

“Kakii-sensei.” Kat called in a sweet voice, he swallowed again when turned around to face her laughing sheepishly, Kat was wearing the remains of the blondes shirt the torn pieces tied in the front in a knot in one hand spun a windmill shuriken in the other 3 kunai. “You rrrreally should have knocked.”

“ Ha ha ah ah…We did?” Kat shook her head at the same time attacking with deadly precious, the silver haired jounnin made the most undignified escape in his life. Hell hath no fury like a woman interrupted, came unbidden to his mind as he dodged kunai and shuriken.

 

Pale blonde pigtails ruffled in the breeze as the Godaime Hokage tossed back another shot of sake from the bottle sitting beside her off in the distance at team 10's training ground a gray cloud rose into the night sky making her cackle.

“So those two perverts finally crossed the line.” She cackled again knocking back another swing of warm sake. Patting the folder in her lap she grinned the first picture was of Sasuke with his finger up his nose and cross-eyed, flipping to the next was her apprentice the pink haired kunichi was scratching her butt, her high pitched laughter echoed over the village. The only individual to seemingly not care about utter humiliation was Sai the former ROOTS member and he had yet to appear in any of the pictures not from lack of trying. There were one or two that Kat had taken but mysteriously the pictures had not been developed and the Hokage only knew of there existence from an unwitting comment the red head had made, apparently Sai enjoyed training on the water in the nude.

The pages fluttered briefly, the magazine would be printed by now and the distribution would be a last minute thing to avoid any of the subjects from aborting the mission. Only two ninja would be picking up the shipment and delivering them and those two where currently engaged in beating their sensei's to a pulp. The Hokage wondered what could have possible happened for those two to be so anger…no come to think of it she really didn't.

 

The village was quiet birds where chirping and the sun was just rising when the first blood-curdling scream ripped the peaceful morning. Tsunade sat up from her desk drool running down her face so the magazine was out.

 

Kat leaned back against Naruto her back to his chest as they sat on the 4th's stone head, his arms where wrapped around her his hands resting lightly on her stomach her head on his shoulder.

“You know they'll figure out where those came from.” She remarked the blonde grinned it had been a while since he had taken part in a prank of this magnitude and he was quite pleased with the results. The hag hadn't known that Kat had told him about the pictures or the fact that they had split the mission between them each taking a list of names for pictures.

“So what did you do with the pictures you took of Sai.” Kat shrugged.

“I still have them, I couldn't ever get him doing something embarrassing.” She could feel his arm tense around her. “Jealous?” he reached up taking a hold of her chin he turned her head to him gently, kissing her deeply he leaned back a little to smile at her just as Sakura's voice rose above the others.

“NARUUTOOOO!” they both flinched.

“Wanna go on that vacation the old hag promised?” Kat smirked a devilish light in her eyes.

“As long as we do what we did last night.” She barely finished the sentence before the blonde had scooped her up and taken off at a run. “Hey wait my clothes!”

“You wont need any.”
