It's in the Eyes

Okay, so here's the little four page NarutoXTsunade story I had to write for Konoha Sato...hope y'all aren't too freaked out by it... :devil:

It's in the Eyes

Naruto fidgeted in his seat, blue eyes focused on anything but the woman who spoke at the front of the meeting hall. He was used to her loud, imposing personage, as most of the ninja present at today?s gathering, but he was anxious to receive his mission and get the hell out of dodge.

For a reason unbeknownst to him, the Godaime seemed to have taken an interest in the blonde Jounin, one that, he believed, went beyond the motherly affection she?d shown in earlier days, and, quite frankly, it unnerved him.

He could not pinpoint the exact moment that he felt the change, for it had been coming on so gradually through the years that he did not even notice until he began observing her behavior whenever she was around him. Her clear, brown eyes always held his for that extra moment longer, her fingertips brushed against his arm when she was close, sending jolts of electricity up his spine?

And the most disturbing thing of all, despite the fact that Tsunade was thirty-nine years his senior, was that Naruto found himself pondering over those touches and stares as he lay in bed at night, his conscience telling him these feelings were wrong while another, more devious part of his mind contradicted him.

Perhaps the thrill of getting involved with an older woman brought on these opposing views. After spending years under the tutelage of two renowned perverts, such a prospect is hardly shocking. Naruto had heard of more unsavory things than liaisons with a person such as Tsunade from Jiraya in particular, things that made his current predicament seem like child?s play.

A while back, he balked at the many possibilities that Jiraya regaled him with, claiming that he would never stoop to ?Ero-Sennin?s? level.

Of course, he had not accounted for a little thing called irony.

How was he to know that, at age seventeen, he would spend countless hours fantasizing over a woman who could easily be his grandmother?

Preposterous.

Against his will, Naruto?s eyes gravitated towards her face, the same beautifully sensual face that she?d had since he first beheld her five years ago. Nothing about her had changed a bit. Her body was still as lithe and firm as always, her hair not showing a hint of gray, and her chest?

Naruto forced his eyes to remain glued to her face. There would be serious consequences if he were to look anyplace else?

As if she could sense his gaze on her, Tsunade stared wickedly back at him.

The blonde squirmed, though he kept his expression blank. He had been caught, yes, but that did not mean he had to acknowledge it.

Shikamaru, who sat next to Naruto, glanced over at his friend, and then he looked at the Hokage. One of his brows shot up.

Well, isn?t that interesting, he thought, not sure whether to be disturbed or amused.

Kiba, on Naruto?s other side, also noticed that something was amiss. He and Shikamaru exchanged a glance.

?She?s staring at him,? Kiba mouthed.

?I know,? Shikamaru whispered back.

?Weird.?

?Definitely.?

Naruto, though he did not have a reputation for being incredibly observant, finally realized that his friends were talking about him. Worse, they were talking about him while he was present. His forehead creased.

?What?? he whispered, looking at each in turn, secretly grateful for a reason to break the contact with Tsunade.

?Nothing,? they both replied at the same time.

Naturally, he grew very suspicious.

?Is that so??

?Yeah,? Kiba said. ?You?re hearing things. Pay attention, baka.? He punctuated the statement with a smack to the back of Naruto?s head.

?Ow!? He yelped, though Shikamaru slapped a hand over his mouth to muffle the sound.

?Shh!! What the hell do you think you?re doing? Godaime-sama gets pissed when she?s interrupted!?

Though I think she?s already got it in for you?

?Are you three finished up there?? Tsunade inquired, hands on hips.

A blush made its way to each face.

?Yes, Godaime-sama,? they replied in unison.

Tsunade smirked at them. ?Good.? After that brief interruption, she continued dole out missions, reading from a list that lay before her. Occasionally, she would lift her eyes to Naruto, who would quickly avert his gaze.

It was becoming a dangerous game, but no matter how hard he tried, Naruto was unable to stop himself. The more she played with him, the more he fell under her spell. And he knew what she was doing, knew that he was being manipulated, but the damage had already been done.

Like living on the edge, do you? A dry voice in his mind asked. You?re aware that she can beat your ass into the ground, but that?s what makes her so appealing, isn?t it? She?s quite a woman. Unlike any of the underdeveloped chicks of your age?

Naruto pictured Sakura, the girl he?d pined for since childhood. Yes, she did have a killer figure, but it was nothing to Tsunade?s?

As soon as he?d thought that, he shook himself. Shut up, he told the voice. Oba-chan?s too old! She?s?

All that you want in a woman, the voice interrupted. Don?t deny it. Give in, Naruto. Face facts: you?re a goner. It?s over. She?s got you, and you can?t escape from her.

?That?s all I?ve got for today,? Tsunade?s voice sliced through his thoughts. She leaned lazily against the podium, and her eyes were on him again. As the assembled shinobi began to rise, she spoke again. ?Uzumaki Naruto, I need you to stay behind.?

Naruto gulped.

Crap.

Shikamaru and Kiba exchanged yet another look.

?See? What did I tell you? She?s pissed.? Shikamaru said.

Kiba laid a hand on his shoulder and said in a solemn tone, ?It was nice knowing you, man.?

?Gee, thanks,? Naruto croaked. His throat had gone completely dry.

?Just being honest,? Kiba winked, and he and Shikamaru filed out along with the rest.

Great friends I have. Just swell?

When everyone had gone, Tsunade beckoned to him. ?Come here.?

Of their own accord, his legs moved him forward, step by step. His palms began sweating.

?Well, well, you certainly have grown, haven?t you, scamp?? She said, smirking at him. Leaning down, she grasped his chin lightly. ?I?ve noticed,? she whispered before her mouth descended upon his?

*********

Naruto woke with a start. The alarm clock next to his bed beeped over and over, until he flung his arm out and smacked it off, groaning.

Sitting up, he raked sweaty hair out of his eyes before burying his head in his hands, still reeling over the vivid dream.

?Damn,? he muttered irritably. ?I need to stop reading Icha Icha Paradise??

The books in question tumbled out of the side of his bed, falling open to a particularly racy scene. An eyebrow shot up. Willpower?you have willpower?don?t pick it up?leave it?

His hand inched down, but at the last minute, he stopped himself. He?d made a very unpleasant realization just now.

?The missions meeting is today,? he said out loud, cementing his doom.

Though it wasn?t possible, he could have sworn he heard the dry voice laughing at him.

Touch?.

::devilish grin::

So there it is....XD
