Twenty: Picture Perfect

He's Back?! What About Me?

Sai and Ino successfully complete their mission and when they arrive at the gate, Kakashi sensei is standing there. "Yo. How was the mission?"

Sai nods, "It was a success. Ino I will deliver the report to Lady Tsunade. You can go home and relax if you'd like."

Ino smiles, "Really? Thanks Sai-kun." She kisses his cheeks and eagerly runs off towards her home. Sai feels eyes burning in the back of his head and turns to see Sakura now stand napping beside Kakashi both grinning. Sai raises an eyebrow. "What?"

Sakura smirks and nudges him, "So the mission REALLY was a success. Eh!?"

Sai frowns in confusion but loses it when he realizes what they mean, "ITS NOT LIKE THAT!!!" He immediately covers his mouth as a shocked Kakashi and Sakura stare at him.

He regains his composure and bows to them, "I must take my leave now."

He then sprints away as Kakashi and Sakura look at each other and chuckle at his embarrassment.

After delivering the mission report, Sai goes to the training grounds and sees Shino and Choji. Choji greets him while Shino acknowledges him with a nod. Sai asks them bluntly, "How do you know when you like a girl?!"

/three days later/

Ino is relaxing at home the when Tenten and Hinata appear in her front yard. Ino looks at Hinata, "Oh. I see you're back. How was the mission with Naruto?" She asks wiggling her eyebrows. The lavender eyed cutie blushes and Tenten slaps Ino's arm, "Stop teasing her Ino. Or at least wait until Sakura gets here."

As if on cue, Sakura arrives bearing a smirk. At all three kunoichi. They look at each other and then back at Sakura who stands there with her arms folded wearing a teasing smile.

"So...it seems that you girls have had the time of your lives over the week. Tenten how was your trip from the sand village? You Hinata, you and Naruto seemed to have had a moment. And Ino...that kiss tho. Hmm?"

Tenten rolls her eyes. "It wasn't what you think. Neji was only holding me because I kept trying to kill Guy sensei and Lee for their god awful hugging." Everyone cringes at the thought.

Ino perks up, "And I only kissed his cheek. It wasn't much."

Ino then gazes over at Hinata, "Wait...you and Naruto went on a mission alone!!"

Tenten looks over as well. Hinata backs into a corner blushing. Sakura stands in front of her blocking Tenten and Ino. "Girls. We will not press the issue. We will let Hinata tell us when she's ready."

Ino grabs Sakura and shoves her out of the way, "SHE'S READY NOW!! SPILL THE BEANS HINATA!!!!" Sakura glares with an eye twitch but calms down once Hinata tells them what happened.

After Hinata tells the girls about the mission and what happened, Ino facepalms, Tenten sighs deeply and Sakura rolls her eyes with all girls saying, "Baka!"

Sai is skipping through the village and sees Ino in a group with Neji, Tenten, Lee, Shikamaru and Kiba. They seem to be discussing Naruto but he continues on his way to the Hokage tower.

He arrives and knocks before being told to entire.

He sees Naruto and Kakashi standing in front of Lady Tsunade's desk. "Hey Sai. What's up?" Kakashi nods.

Sai greets them and is then told that Naruto completed his mission and also succeeded in bringing Sasuke back to he village. Lady Tsunade gives them the mission to interrogate the said Uchiha and tease him. Deeply. Naruto and Kakashi form evil grins as Sai looks at them smugly.

When they arrive, Sai sees Sasuke hugging Sakura comforting her. Naruto presses the button on the intercom, "Well Sakura. Guess I don't have to tell you I found Sasuke on my mission now huh?"
