Jiraiya sighed as he entered the hotel room he was sharing with Naruto, it had taken a lot of effort and negotiation on his part but he had finally convinced the Raikage to allow Killer Bee to help Naruto train in using his Bijuu's chakra. He had been forced to not only give up all the information he had on Akatsuki, but he was also forced to send Tsunade a message asking for 4 jutsu from each element to give to Kumo as payment. It had been a hassle to get Tsunade to give them up and had taken longer than he had expected because of that. Still the Toad Sennin felt it was worth the effort, he had received information that Akatsuki would begin to make their move sometime within the next year. His apprentice while strong would not last in a fight with two S class ninja without some kind of trump card, in other words his student needed to learn to harness the Kyuubi's chakra as best he could within the next year.
Moving into the bed room Jiraiya frowned when he noticed his apprentice was not there; figuring that he was just out practicing since the white haired man had not received a message via toad summons nor felt any spike in Naruto's chakra the man decided to get some rest.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Yugito patted Naruto on the cheek as she gave him a condescending smile, "there, there you should have known I would win… really now Naruto that look doesn't suit you."
Naruto just continued to pout; he couldn't believe he had lost in an eating contest. The only person who had ever been able to out eat him in anything was Chouji and even then the Akamichi heir couldn't do it with some things like Ramen. He couldn't believe that this woman had not only scarfed down her entire sushi platter but managed to steal at least half of his as well, it was not fair!
"You cheated…" Naruto sniffed with his pout still in place.
Yugito guffawed, "your just upset because you lost and now owe me."
At that comment Naruto's pout disappeared and was replaced with a smile that Yugito was coming to recognize, "speaking of owing you never told me what it is you want from me…"
Yugito hummed in thought as the two got up and left the restaurant, beginning to make their way to her apartment. "I haven't decided yet…" she said as she began to tap her chin.
Naruto grinned as he closed the distance between them, "I've been told I give a pretty good message, if you wanted I could do that." Naruto started as his grin became larger, "who knows we may even be able to make it a full body message…"
Yugito stumbled as a large blush spread across her face; she looked over at Naruto and opened her mouth only to close it as she could not find anything to say. After opening and closing her mouth a few more times she just huffed and began walking again, making Naruto chuckle as he caught up. They stayed like that for a while, just walking in comfortable silence as the two went into their own thoughts.
Yugito was replaying the date over in her head as they walked, the blond woman could not help but smile as she thought of how fun it was to actually go out with someone and be seen as a woman for once rather than a Kunoichi. Throughout the entire date Naruto had given her small subtle compliments, whether it was on her beauty or her skills didn't matter as each were enough to make her face heat up and her heart flutter. He was the first person to see her as a woman first and a Kunoichi second, while she knew the Raikage appreciated her she also realized that he still saw her as a Kunoichi and weapon. Her few friends like wise saw her as the strong Kunoichi she constantly made herself out to be, while that was in part her own fault for not really trying to be seen as anything other than a powerful ninja; it was still nice for someone to notice another side of her that did not deal with death
She was shaken from her thought when she felt something move into her hand and give it a gentle squeeze; looking down Yugito saw Naruto had grabbed her hand with his own. He laced their fingers together entwining their hands; she looked up at Naruto to see a smile on his face causing her to blush and she looked away. She was not sure what it was about this young man, but something about him brought her a sense of comfort she had never felt before, not even when she was with her adoptive sister Samui did she feel this comfortable. Maybe it had something to do with his eyes she mused to herself; she had to admit that Naruto had some of the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. A deep and startling blue that seemed to pierce into her soul, she could probably get completely lost in those eyes for hours on end. Or perhaps it was his smile? Whenever he smiled at her she could feel her heart rate increase and blood rush to her face, it felt as if she had just run a 200 mile marathon. Yet at the same time that smile brought her s sense of security and made her feel safe and at peace, it was a perplexing conundrum that she just couldn't get a grasp on.
"Thinking deep thought's Yugi-chan?" Naruto asked.
Yugito turned to face him with a small blush on her cheeks at his new nickname for her, "just thinking about… things," she finished lamely.
