Someone's Thoughts

Inner Thoughts

Chapter 8

Day 7: Konoha: Sakura's Bathroom 18:30pm

Her mind was reeling

Her nerves shot to bits

She had been jumpy all day and had a good reason to be too...Today was the day the jutsu on Sasuke and Naruto was meant to wear off, only problem was, Lady Tsunade hadn't told her WHEN the jutsu would wear off.

She had kept her eyes closed when it was time to get up

Had refused to stay in the room when it was time for the two to get dressed, which took 30 minutes due to the fact that they weren't too great at dressing themselves in their child state

Asked them if they wanted tea of coffee instead of juice at breakfast

Had to rescue Sasuke once and Naruto twice after she had been too embarrassed to help them go to the potty

Had locked all the doors and closed all the blinds and kept them inside in case the jutsu did wear off, she wasn't sure she could handle it wearing off in public, everything would be on show!

(Not entirely a bad thing) Her inner smirked

*Shut up! As If I want to see Naruto and Sasuke's...Dangly things!*

She had endured everything today had thrown at her and had prepared for everything that could go wrong, although she did feel a little stupid when she covered her eyes everytime the boys coughed or sneezed or said her name The boys had noticed this too:

Naruto hadn't been as hyper as usual, he would sometimes mimic Sakura's actions by covering his eyes

Sasuke had been more cuddly and would constantly ask her If she was ok

Naruto had suggested that Sakura needed 'nappy time' as she looked sleepy

Sasuke hadn't started any fights today, not even after Naruto taunted that he thought Sasuke's 'Windy problem' had come back

Now, for the past hour they had both been lying on their stomachs in the living room drawing, pieces of paper were scattered everywhere across the floor, they ranged from pictures of rainbows to bowls of ramen and something that was meant to be a puppy or a rabbit, she couldn't tell

But nothing had Sakura more on edge now, now was the time the boys usually had a bath

*Maybe If I don't say anything they won't notice*

(You're such a wuss!)

*Am not! I just don't want to risk it, what If water...Activates the jutsu release?*

(They're under a jutsu, they're not sponges! They won't expand if you get them wet!)

*....Shut up!*

"Sakwaa..." She froze on the spot at the sound of her name, closely her eyes tightly she reluctantly turned round

"Yes boys?"

"Why you got your eyes closed?"

She struggled to answer, they had been asking her that question all day, she was running out of excuses, she had used:

"I have dust in my eye"

"I like blinking"

"I thought I saw a spider"

"I'm playing hide and seek with myself"

"That dust has found my eye again"

"Just wanted to know how dark it was with my eyes closed"

"Peek-a-boo!"

"More dust wouldn't you know!"

She couldn't use the dust one anymore, she knew they weren't buying it, biting her lip she tried to think of a decent excuse this time.

*Come on...think!!*

(I'd go with dust)

*I've used that one too many times!!*

(Pffft so what!)

She was snapped out of her thoughts by the sound of running water, gingerly opening her eyes, she found herself alone in the livingroom, she dashed to the bathroom to find Sasuke and Naruto standing by the tub, Sasuke had turned the taps on and Naruto was adding bubble bath

"Boys?" They turned to look at her, smiles apparent on their faces

"It bathy time Sakwaa!" Grinned Naruto

"You were playing peeky boo so we run it ourselves" Smirked Sasuke, clearly amused

Sakura was sure her lip was going to bleed if she kept biting it, but it was better than running round like a headless chicken, that was her plan B

"Oh...Well...Uh...I thought that we'd skip bath time tonight boys, you don't really want one do you?" She smiled nervously, hoping they would agree

To her horror they both starred at her before giggling among themselves

"Silly Sakwaa..."

"Silly silly"

Sakura nearly gave herself whiplash when they started undressing, she turned round so fast her head went dizzy and she had to support herself on the door frame to stop herself from falling

"Ready!"

Sakura cringed, she didn't want to do this, she didn't want to turn round, she wanted to hide away in her room till this was over

"Sakwaaaa!" Whined Naruto

Sakura sighed, turning round she found the two little boys standing next to the bath tub, towels held next to their 'private parts'

She bent down and picked them up and practically dropped them into the bath, now they were submerged in bubbles she felt a little more relaxed

*They're covered at least*

(Humph...No wonder you're still a virgin)

*Don't you mean "We're still a virgin"*

(What was that!? You just re-insulted yourself) *...Oh...Bollocks!*

'SPLASH!'

Sakura was forced away from her inner argument by a huge gush of water smacking her in the face.

After a few seconds coughing and spluttering Sakura wiped away the offending bubbles that smothered her face she looked round to try and determine what had caused the mini tidal wave And came face to face

With two very wet

Two very real

Naked Teammates

Her face lit up like a Christmas tree before everything went black

Hazy, everything was hazy

Her head was swimming and not to mention very sore

*What a horrid nightmare*

(Might want to open your eyes princess...)

*Why?*

"Sakura?" She heard the voice, yet didn't recognize the owner

(That's why)

Squinting she slowly opened her eyes, she fought back the scream but couldn't fight the blush that painted her cheeks as she starred into the faces of Sasuke and Naruto...In adult form!

"Eeep" She squeaked

The next 30 minuted felt like a lifetime to Sakura:

Naruto kept asking if she felt ok, then kept putting soaking wet flannels on her forehead

Sasuke kept slapping Naruto hand away from Sakura because Naruto's towel kept slipping

An argument had broken out over if they should go get Lady Tsunade Sakura was sure she was scarred for life when Naruto suggested that maybe they should try to see if Sakura had any clothes that would fit them

She then fainted again when Sasuke had tripped over one of her bras, sending him spiraling to the floor and causing his towel to fall

When she resurfaced she found herself alone

*Why's it so quiet?*

(I dunno)

She swung her legs over the side, rubbing her head she slowly made her way round her apartment, they were no-where to be found

"Uh...Guys?"

She waited for a response, she was sure she was shaking from nerves until a rustle from her bathroom stopped her Leaning close to the door she listened for any signs of life, a small smile appeared on her face when she heard the familiar voices inside:

"Teme...I think se's awake now!"

"You think dobe?"

"Well let's go see if she's ok then...Argh Sasuke get off!"

"No moron, she might faint again, we're still in nothing but towels!"

"Oh yeah"

Sakura stifled a giggle before knocking softly, she heard them both gasp

"Uh...Yes?"

"You guys...Ok?" She asked She heard them mumbling something before Naruto spoke again

"Uh...Yeah we're fine, you?"

"Yeah I'm ok...I was uh...thinking that maybe I should go see Lady Tsunade to update her on the situation" She chuckled

Another set of murmuring filled the silence, she took that as a yes and made her way towards the door

"SAKURA WAIT!"

She froze when she heard the usually quiet and stoic Uchiha cry out, she waited patiently

"...Can you...grab our clothes as well?"

She smiled before calling back that she would, she slipped on her boots and made her way to the Hokage Tower

Hokage Tower: 20:00pm

Sakura was still giggling slightly when she entered her mentor's office, as usual she found Lady Tsunade sat at her desk, buried under a pile of paperwork

"Sakura?" Lady Tsunade eyed her young apprentice wearily, she hadn't seen her since she had run out leaving her to deal with Sasuke and Naruto

Sakura walked and stood in front of the desk, although she was smiling she couldn't stop the annoyed look in her eye

"Lady Tsunade, I've come to inform you that the jutsu has worn off..." She growled

"Oh really?" Gulped the blonde Hokage

"Yes...I'll be needing their clothes"

Tsunade made her way towards the cupboard and pulled out a large brown bag, after handing it to Sakura she backed up a few feet

"How...Was it?" She asked innocently

Sakura twitched before plastering another smile on her face

"It was...Interesting" It was the only word Sakura could think to describe what she had been through the past week

"So...no hard feelings?" Tsunade asked, she smiled gingerly

"Oh...No, no no no...why on earth would there be hard feelings?" Sakura lied through gritted teeth

Tsunade sighed before straightening up

"Well...Uh...You better get back, I'll be sending ANBU to collect Sasuke within the next hour"

Sakura bowed and started to make her way back out, before she was out Tsunade called out

"Have you made up your mind about Sasuke?"

Sakura hung her head for a moment, she had been too pre-occupied to think about that

*What should I do?*

(Let him rot in prison...After everything he's done he deserves it!)

*Yeah but...Surely if he wanted to do anything he would've done it by now*

(Well I guess you have to make up your mind then)

Sakura turned to face her mentor before voicing

"Yes...I have!"

2 days later:

Sakura had just finished her shift at the hospital, she felt relieved to finally be able to go out freely when she chose to, her and Naruto had decided to give each other some space, although she had agreed to go for ramen with him tomorrow

She said her goodbye after signing out and was about to leave when one of the other nurses stopped her, in her hands was a large bouquet of flowers

"Sakura-sama, these came for you today"

Taking the flowers, Sakura opened the card, inside was a simple note

Sakura,

Thank you

Sasuke

"Well I never" Sakura giggled

Uchiha House:

Sasuke had been sat in the same chair for what seemed like a life time, night had fallen and he was starring up at the moon, he couldn't complain though, thanks to Sakura he had evaded the death penalty and prison Instead he had been given a 2 year house arrest, had to have his chakra drained and was only allowed to train outside the Uchiha compound twice a week

*Better than death I suppose*

(Yeah..Although It would be better if we had some...Company, if you...get my drift)

Sasuke groaned, ever since he had been sentenced he hadn't been able to stop thinking about her

"I'm worse than the dobe" He scolded himself

His self-hating moment was disturbed by a knock at the door, assuming it was just another ANBU making sure he hadn't escaped he made his way to the door, upon opening his eyes widened in surprise

There, standing at his front door, still dressed in her nurse's outfit was Sakura

Sasuke suddenly felt his mouth go dry as the sight at her, he moved to the side to allow her access before closing the door again, his eyes never leaving her form He followed her into the living room and stood there, she still had her back to him Sakura was the first one to speak, turning round to face him, a small smile on her face

"I wanted...To thank you, for the flowers" She indicated to the bouquet in her arms

Sasuke stood there, not sure if he should speak or not

"I know it's late, I'm sorry if I woke you, I just thought, that since I was on my way home, It would...Save time if..."

"It's ok"

Now it was Sakura's turn to stare

*I knew I should've prepared myself better*

(I'm just glad he interrupted your verbal diarrhea)

The two continued to stare at each other, Sakura was trying to distract herself from him by playing with the flowers in her arms and Sasuke was pretending to inspect the door frame

"Sasuke?"

"Hn"

"What does...Ooies mean?"

Sasuke flinched

"It's just that...When i was...looking after you, you...said it alot, mainly while starring at me"

Sasuke hung his head to hide the blush that was slowly creeping up his face

"I...I...I don't know I mean It could mean anything...I don't really remember anything, side effect of the jutsu" He rambled, as he began pacing back and forth

He was stopped by a small hand on his chest, looking up he found Sakura standing merely a few inches away

"That's a pity, because Naruto remembers everything"

Sasuke froze, he couldn't tear his gaze away from her and before he knew what he was doing he found himself pulling her into his embrace and smashing his lips against hers before scooping her up bridal style

"Sasuke!!" Sakura squeaked as Sasuke began carrying her towards what looked like a bedroom

"You wanted to know what Ooies meant didn't you" He smirked

"But...But the guards!" Sakura exclaimed

"Don't...'Kiss'"...Care"

Outside the Uchiha mansion a figure stood amongst the trees, leaning lazily against the trunk

"Heh...Finally teme, was beginning to think there was no hope for you"

Hope you enjoyed it! Sakura does get tp fid out what Ooies mean heh heh heh!

:)

Thanks for the reviews, love you all!
