[ running water. shower water. ]

[ interrupted when a door opens. ]

E- Eh? SAKURA-CHAN? WHAT'RE YOU DOING IN MY BATHROO--

[ and then the sounds of CRASHING as Naruto is tossed out the window that doesn't really exist in Sakura's bathroom. the shower continues

WRITTEN FURIOUSLY;

[haruno]

[ BUT MAN AS MUCH AS IT WAS NICE TO SEE YOU

SHE DID NOT NEED, WANT, OR CARE TO SEE THAT MUCH OF YOU NARUTO

EVER ]

HOW DID YOU GET IN MY SHOWER, YOU IDIOT?!

[ that idiot is underlined SO HARD ]

[foxwhiskers]

But uhhh... what's happening? We're jus' coming home from a mission. Baachan wants this kid brought back. Dunno his name, but she seems pretty persistent about him.

[foxwhiskers]

And yeah, 'course I need a robe! [Looks up with this face.] It's damn freezing out here!

[haruno]

A side mission to find someone? What was going on before shishou asked us to find this person?

[ she disappears, then out gets tossed a pink robe LMASD

the only nice thing is it's warm and enough to cover Naruto almost completely.

as an afterthought, have two fuzzy bunny slippers rain down near him, too. ]

[foxwhiskers]

[He catches these and puts them on. Pink Naruto is beautifully pink~]

Uh, well, we jus' rescued Gaara. And then, Baachan told us about that mission.

[haruno]

[ She's wrapped in a towel now and looking down at him, clearly surprised for a moment. That long ago? They'd just rescued Gaara?

Oh, Naruto.

Sakura disappears back inside to write out her response, catching herself in the act of trying to shout down at Naruto in further surprise. She'd never get used to this. (Even if never was a promise she couldn't afford to make.) ]

Then you're from when we headed out after Sasuke-kun.

[ But the way he was talking, and as she skims through her journal in relation to his entry... ]

You do know who Sasuke-kun is, right?

[ She has a sneaking suspicion the answer... might be no. ]

[foxwhiskers]

[He's still talking to a book. :| Somehow, he'd never get used to this too.]

Dunno who the hell that is. Is he that missing nin we went after?

[haruno]

Sasuke-kun. Our teammate. Uchiha Sasuke.

[ shit. ]

[foxwhiskers]

'Uchiha'? But.... aren't they all dead? [Technically, since Naruto doesn't remember, Sasuke's dead to him.]

[haruno]

Neither Uchiha Sasuke nor his brother Uchiha Sasuke are dead. They're the only two survivors.

[ Itachi was the one who killed the rest. Him, and Madara. ]

[foxwhiskers]

I still dunno him... Good for him that he survived, though, but m'not really sure how well that goes since he's a missing nin.

[haruno]

Naruto, how much do you even know about the Uchiha Massacre? This is just -- who do you think is part of Team Seven? Since the Academy?
