Kurenai

"Hiya, Kurenai-sensei!", Naruto greeted his sensei. Again, his eyes wandered down to her long and incredibly smooth legs, legs that had wrapped around him yesterday in pure passion. Again, he had to shake off those thoughts...

"Hello, Naruto. Good to see you're very timely.", Kurenai complimented him, her lips curling up into one of those smiles that nearly made Naruto forget himself when he saw it on her pretty face.

"Well, so are you.", he returned.

There was a small moment of silence where Naruto desperately thought how to start up a conversation with his sensei without recalling yesterday. This was going to be awkward...

However, Kurenai took the initiative and leaned over to him as he sat down. "I watched you and Ino after you thought you were alone.", she told him, keeping her voice low so that neither Teuchi nor Ayame would hear them.

"You did?", Naruto squeaked out.

"Of course. And I am glad that you have such an success with her. She's a pretty girl, if a little hung up on Uchiha Sasuke. I would approve if you would date her.", Kurenai said frankly.

Her offhanded comment about that stumped Naruto. "D-D-Date her? Kurenai-sensei, it's not like that at all!", he tried to explain, but then again, how?

"Oh, then how is it? I left after you started to fondle her, wanting to give you guys at least that much privacy.", Kurenai said with a chuckle, before turning serious again. "But honestly, Naruto. Don't toy with her. For one, I doubt Ino is the kind of girl who takes kindly to that, and second, you'll be in big trouble with me as well."

"But I wouldn't...", Naruto tried to pipe up.

But Kurenai would not let him defend himself. "Naruto, don't forget that even if I am young, I am still a Jounin and I keep some tabs on my students.", she said, giving him a warning stare. Naruto sweated. Did she know? Did she know about Ayame? She had to, after all, that was what she was implying, right?

"And I wouldn't want poor Sakura to be totally left out if you and Ino eventually go steady.", Kurenai then said a weird thing.

"Go steady? Kurenai-sensei, I don't think Ino wants that. Not with me, anyway.", Naruto protested, making a good point. After all, Ino was just using him for training, and he... well, he had talked her into it.

"Hmm, maybe not yet. Anyway, Naruto, just stay your nice self and you will grow into a very attractive man, I doubt Ino could resist you then.", Kurenai told him.

Her words were encouraging. It felt really good to see that she had such confidence in him. At that moment, Naruto swore that he would not let Kurenai-sensei down on this. He would do his best to grow up in the best way possible.

But still, there was a question left on his mind. "What about you, Kurenai-sensei?", he asked.

"Me? What do you mean, what about me?", Kurenai asked back, not quite understanding the question.

"Could you resist me?", Naruto asked with a grin.

"Aren't we cheeky?", Kurenai said with a smile. "Naruto, yesterday was a mistake, I see that now. You're so young and you are my student, please just forget about it. It's wrong to keep thinking about it, and you should stop thinking about it too. Ino or Sakura would be a better match for you anyway.", she told him.

It saddened Naruto a little to see that Kurenai kept her distance to him. Well, maybe it was better that way, but Naruto really would like to get intimate with Kurenai-sensei again. However, that might take some time now.

Any other conversation was prevented when Ino and Sakura arrived at the ramen bar...

After the team and their sensei had eaten in complete silence, Kurenai payed the bill and adressed her team.

"Very well, Team 7. As Genin, you will usually be sent on D-rank missions, or C-rank mission in rare cases or if you are specifically suited or experienced for a certain kind of mission. Today, we're going to have a D-rank mission I picked out for you. Even if it might not be the kind of mission you might have been hoping for, I want you to remember that every ninja started out with those mission and it is a mission after all. So take it seriously.", she instructed them.

The three genin nodded and so found them following their sensei to the mission for today.
