Thursday-

"And then she was like-" Thursday afternoon the whole gang found themselves at their usual lunch table as if the events of two days ago forgotten and buried as if it had never happened. The twins were also missing on Tuesday and when they returned with Gaara on Wednesday no one questioned it and went on as they would any other day. At the moment everyone was sat around Seren who was telling another one of his stories. Now that the mystery of the gender was over they still had the whole hoods-over-their-faces-so-you-still-cant-tell-the-difference-and-know-what-they-look-like thing going though. Sai hadn't mentioned a word of what Max looked like so he wasn't of any help.

"Seren that never happened I was there with you, don't try and change the story." Everyone was fully engrossed in the conversation except for Sai and Hinata that it is. Who, by the way seemed to be deep into one of their own as they watched their friends from the end of the table. Well, two friends specifically; Naruto and Sasuke. You see ever since Monday the two had been acting strange around one another, ok fine stranger than they usually do.

"What d-do you think happened?" Hinata questioned looking over at Sai quizzically. Sai was staring at the two. Watching as they stole glances at one another when they thought the other wasn't looking and how they instantly looked away when they both turned to look at each other at the same time.

Out of the corner of his eye he noticed how close Shino and Kiba were sitting next to each other and the small smiles and looks they exchanged. He made a quick note to find out what was goin' on over there later. Wait did they just wink? Oh, he was definitely gonna find out what was going on over there.

"Well factoring in that Naruto can be an unpredictable idiot something probably happened between them that they refuse to talk to each other about. Clearly something they do want to talk about but don't have the balls to do so. Probably something..." Sai tapped the bottom of his chin thoughtfully dismissing the thoughts of the bug and dog lover for the moment before turning his head slowly to Hinata who was looking at him confused. "Intimate." He finished making Hinata blush. "Which I find hard to believe since Naruto lacks a proper peni-"

"S-Sai, I do not want to listen to you t-talk about Naruto's...man parts." She said gesturing to the groin area. Whose groin area you ask? Well I'm sorry but that's a secret!

"Fine, well if we want to find out what happened theeennnn!" Sai trailed off getting up from his seat. "We'll just have to find some way of getting it out of them. I'll take Naruto you take Sasuke!" He smirked before walking off. Not a moment later the bell rang signalling the end of lunch. Everyone got up and head off in the direction of their class giving everyone in the group a quick 'see ya later'.

"Pssssssssst." Sai said as softly as possible not to alert the teacher and disrupt the class but loud enough to get the attention of the person beside him. Seren's ear twitched, he had obviously heard him right? "Pssssssst." Sai repeated a little louder this time. Seren had definitely heard him but he didn't respond...was...was he ignoring him? Oh, he did not just ignore his pst. "Psssssssssst!" No response. "Psssssst, Rainbow!"

"What?! What do you want? I'm working!" Seren hissed glaring at Sai. Shit. He had interrupted the boy when he was in the zone. No one interrupted Seren when he was in the zone.

"Sorry but I need your help. It's about Naruto and Sasuke!" Sai said knowing it would peak the others interest.

All anger in tense muscles around Seren's mouth which had formed into a thin line disappeared and was replaced with a 'whaaa?' look as he looked at the other. "Who in the what now?"

"Naruto and Sasuke have been acting kind of weird since they came out of the tunnels and-"

"Excuse me?" Seren said looking at the other incredulously. "They went in my tunnels? My tunnels? Without me?" He asked displeased.

"Relax they didn't find anything it was a dare they came back out after being lost for 15 minutes." Sai lied, but this information seemed to calm the rattled boy beside him. "As I was saying they were acting weird and Hinata and I plan to find out what exactly happened between them in the dark tunnels." Sai said filling Seren in.

Seren's mouth formed an 'o' shape as the information processed in his head. "Do you think they...?" Seren asked hitting the top of his two index fingers together.

"No Seren, not that! But maybe something along those lines."

"Good they better not have done the nasty in my tunnels because I worked hard on that and I'll be damned if I let them ruin my tunnels-wait does that mean that you think they kissed or something?!" Seren went from defensive to excited in a second. "Naruto and Sasuke huh? I always thought that those two would get together! Oh my they would make such a cute couple!" Seren squealed now ignoring Sai and anything else he had to say.

Well it looked like Seren wouldn't be any help now that he was lost in his little fanboy world.

"And they wonder why I call him Rainbow."

"Pssst, S-sasuke." Hinata whispered to her cousin who sat in the desk in front of her. Hearing his cousin say his name Sasuke looked back to look at Hinata.

"What?" He whispered not wanting to get scolded.

"U-um I don't w-want to be rude, b-but what'sgoingonbetweenyouandNaruto?" She rushed out.

"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked with a confused look on his face, even though they were rushed Sasuke could decipher what the raven haired female had said.

"W-well, after you guys came b-back out of the tunnel y-you've been acting weird towards each other." Hinata said pushing her two index fingers together in the same manner that she didn't know Seren had but only much gentler. "D-did something happen?" She asked leaning forward.

"Hinata. Nothing happened, and we're not acting weird." Sasuke defended himself, his tone slightly harsh.

"C-c'mon Sasuke, s-something happened and you h-have been acting d-different. You know you c-can tell me! D-don't you trust me?" she asked giving Sasuke that look that only one other person he had ever met could pull off that look successfully every time. When did Naruto teach Hinata how to do the puppy dog look? Or was it...? Maybe Hinata was the one to show Naruto? Mind fuck.

"We'll talk about this at home okay?" Sasuke found himself giving in to the girl. He was powerless against that look and he knew it, although he had only ever seen it on the blonde dobe before. Maybe they had formed an alliance and were secretly plotting to toy with his emotions and slowly destroy him from the inside out. Yeah, that was probably it.

After the last period Sai headed straight towards Naruto's locker, completely intent on finding the blonde and interrogating him. He decided on going with the more direct approach to getting to the bottom of the Naruto-Sasuke sitchiation. Yes he said situation but being the Grammar Nazi defying badass he was he said it differently.

Anyway he was completely determined, that was until he saw Max.

Sai approached Max who was leaning against the wall with her hands in her pockets. Max seemed to be a little spaced out and seeing his chance he went for it. Sai stopped in front of Max and placed both hands around her hips. "Why hello there Max~~" Sai said in a sing song voice. Max was too lost in thought to notice Sai had leant forward and captured her lips in a sweet kiss.

Sai felt something off, he felt as if someone was staring at him not to mention Max hadn't punched, shoved or threatened him yet. He came to the only logical solution. "R-Rainbow?" This wasn't Max this was Seren and Gaara was currently trying to kill him with his glare. Sai pulled back, looked at Seren scared knowing full well what could happen if Seren got mad. "Sorry Rainbow thought you were Max..." He quickly apologised.

"No worries~~!" Seren sang out patting Sai's shoulder before skipping away claiming there was a burrito that he misplaced that he needed to find. Sai let out a sigh of relief, avoiding Seren's wrath but as soon as he turned around he quickly took it back and gulped. He was in deep shit; Gaara was quickly advancing towards him looking thoroughly pissed.

"Sai..." His name was said with so much venom that Sai did the only thing to save himself, he ran. He ran like his life depended on it and in all actuality, it did.

"God dammit!"

"S-sasuke?" Hinata asked as she approached the other raven that was leaning against his locker with his bag in his hand. Sasuke didn't seem to notice Hinata who was now standing beside him. Curiosity getting the better of her she leant her head closer to Sasuke's to see exactly what he was looking at. Down the hall in Sasuke's direct line of vision was Naruto in all of his loud glory talking to a group of people animatedly. Turning to leave she watched as the blonde sighted Sasuke giving him a bright smile and waving good bye. She watched as a small smile crept onto Sasuke's face as he waved back at Naruto and wait...was that? No it couldn't be! Yes it could! Sasuke had a small blush on his face. Hinata giggled. Sasuke was blushing because of the blonde again.

Oh something was up and she wanted answers.

Grabbing the other raven's wrist she pulled Sasuke with her and started their trek home. As soon as they were through the door Hinata was determined to find out what had conspired between the two.

"Okay spill." She said looking at Sasuke with a serious expression.

"Can we please not talk about this?" Sasuke asked taking off his shoes and making his way up the stairs intent on going to his bedroom to escape Hinata's questioning.

"No Sasuke! We need to talk about this! Don't you trust me?! You can tell me anything! And don't you dare try and say that there is nothing to talk about when there clearly is! I saw that little exchange you two just had and you've been acting so weird! I see it! At lunch and whenever we're around him. You sneak glances at him when he's not looking and then sometimes things just get awkward between you two. You guys are never awkward around each other! And-" Hinata yelled following after her cousin and barging straight into his room before he could shut and lock the door

"We kissed okay?" Sasuke yelled, interrupting Hinata.

Hinata was caught off guard but soon her face broke out into a big smile "Why are you so wound up then? That's good right?" She asked confused as to the distraught look on Sasuke's face. Sasuke stayed silent and Hinata started to worry slightly. "T-that's good r-right?" Hinata sat beside Sasuke on his bed and put a hand on his shoulder. Sasuke buried his face in his hands and started to rub his temples. Dragging his hands over his face one last time Sasuke looked up at Hinata with a defeated look.

"I...I really don't know."
