Two naked people, three very horny people and all three at risk of being found ... should be interesting ...

XXXXXXXXXX

The clone smiled awkwardly as he saw team 8 entered the apartment without even knocking, "I'm sorry, everything is-" The clone blinked as they brushed passed him and began looking around. Akamaru, and by extension the unconscious Kiba, was the only one who seemed to wait to be allowed in. "-such a mess?" He finished his sentence feeling rather snubbed as he gestured for Akamaru to come in, but he froze in horror as he spotted what was Konohamaru's towel on the kitchen floor.

"That's fine. How much ramen do you eat? ... and what's that smell did you burn something?" Kurenai asked as she went into Naruto's bedroom or what she thought was the blonde's room.

"I accidentally burned breakfast along with a towel." The clone said as he casually stepped on Konohamaru's towel and slid it along the floor until it was right next to the lower cabinet. Once he saw Akamaru go look over the living room with Shino as Hinata went into the bathroom to look around the clone bent down and tossed the towel into the cabinet.

"Oh! Shino isn't very good at cooking either. Would you like some pointers? You shouldn't eat only ramen, you know?" Kurenai said pointedly.

(Déjà vu, the boss said the same thing after learning that's 50% of Konohamaru's diet.) The clone mused as he recalled the boss's discovery, which was actually when he was helping Konohamaru move in this very building. Naruto always thought Konohamaru just brought extra ramen so the blonde got a lunch during the academy, but the ramen was really an addiction on the raven's part. "Thanks, Kurenai-sensei." The clone said politely. (But the boss can cook just fine. Right now he needs to get off of the balcony!) The clone thought panicking slightly as he heard Kurenai walk around in the bedroom. If she decided to look outside onto the bedroom side of the balcony the boss was screwed.

It wasn't easy since the apartment, while fairly big, was only three rooms. The living room, dining room and the kitchen were all one open room so with the bathroom and bedroom that is only three rooms. All of which had views to the balcony. Even the bathroom, which was right across the hall from the bedroom and when the door is open you can see straight to the balcony.

"We really should get you some different clothes too. You only have one style." Kurenai commented with a slightly teasing tone from the bedroom.

"Shopping isn't the best thing for me." The clone said with a sharp twitch in his eye. Kurenai clearly knew what goes on in the village so why did it seem like she wanted to risk taking him through the village. Did she want him hurt?

Shino turned towards the blonde curiously. "Why is that exactly?" He asked and a curious Hinata came out of the bathroom to hear the answer.

The clone heard a click that sounded like the balcony door in the bedroom being unlocked and decided enough was enough, "Hold it!" The clone snapped making Hinata and Shino flinch as a sheepish looking Kurenai came back into the living room thankfully leaving the bedroom and hopefully giving the real Naruto a chance to escape. "I could be wrong, but this feels like an investigation."

"Not at all! We're just trying to get to know you!" Kurenai exclaimed, getting nods from Shino, Hinata and Akamaru.

"You didn't strike me as the type of girl who goes straight to a guy's bedroom to learn about him." The clone said sarcastically taking a bit of enjoyment in the embarrassed blush that came to Kurenai's cheeks.

Kurenai chuckled sheepishly, "I'm sorry. I got a little carried away. We really want to learn more about you."

"Why? Sure, I'll be on your team, but this seems a bit ... over the top." Naruto's clone said, but noticed a subtle shift in all their postures. They were hiding something, but what?
