Welcome to Gaia! ::

Naruto and the gang entered the spring, the girls going to the left, the boys, to the right.

Ino was a little depressed to be splitting up. She had her eyes glued on Satoshi and Sai the whole time. She elbowed Sakura. "Sakura, how come you allways get the hotties either on your team, or somewher near you? I'm still stuck with Shika and Cho most of the time." She gave a long, depressing sigh while she changed out of her clothes and grabbed a towl.

The boys undressed and each took a towl before entering the spring. They set the towls down away from the water so they wouldn't get damp with the steam.

Ino looked away, singing a bit into the water till it almost reached her shoulders. She woudln't deny that Shikamaru was cute, but... "Shikamaru...he doesn't...I don't think he thinks of me as anything other than a teammate." Ino bit her lip. "B-besides, I think he likes that girl from Sand, Temari." Ino looked up at her friend and forced a smile. "They look good together. They're great when fighting together, too." Her voice was a little high and her eyebrows were scrunched together.

Ino gave her a sympathetic look, "Sakura..." No. She couldn't get all depressed. It was making her best friend depressed, too. Ino suddenly stood up with a fist full of viggor. "Sakura! We are going man-hunting!"

"What do you mean his is bigger than mine!?" There was a pause as all the women in the bath listened quietly."Shut up! Stop talking about penises!" Naruto roared from the men's side. Ino's face turned bright red. That's all she needed to hear before grabbing Sakura by the arm and dragging her over to where some of the other girls were. By the wooden fence.

Ino pushed aside a table that was set up to hide a small hole in the wall. The owner had discovered it when Jiraiya was caught peeking...by Tsunade. It hadn't ended well and Jiraiya nearly died before anyone could get him to the ER.

"Sakura, it's time for our undercover, kunoichi mission." Ino peeked into the hole and nearly had a nose bleed. The women on the other side of the spring weren't so lucky. "OMG he's hotter than Sasuke-kun. And he's naked!" Ino whispered loudly, hearts in her eyes. She yanked Sakura down and pointed to the hole. "Look! He's like some god or something!"

On the other side of the fence, Satoshi had stood up to 'go to the bathroom,' AKA check the foundation covering the curse mark. Unfortunately, he was stopped by Sai's comment about how 'his' was way bigger than 'Naruto's.' This set the blond off and Satoshi didn't doubt that the girls on the other side heard it. Those very same girls, unbeknownst to him, happened to be ogling his chiseled chest and package at that very moment.


(I appolojize for saying the p word, but it is Sai after all)

Ino moved aside for her. Satoshi was thankfully facing the wall, his head turned towards Sai and Naruto, glaring at them.

"Well of corse they're naked! They're in the spring!" Ino leaned over close to Sakura's ear and whispered, "And he's wet."

(sorry lol)

Sakura licks her lips at this and watches.

"Soaking wet..."

He...hes just as hot as Sasuke. But that bod...oh my god.

"Ino you make him sound like a prize to catch, not a person."

Sakura stands there, and still remembers what his chiseled hot bod looked like and loved it all.

"BUT! Im going any way....not to 'reel him in' but to...um...see if he is ok?"

Sakura smiles sheepishly, and runs out changes and leaves the hot springs.

"Now where did he go off to?" Sakura muttered to herself as she bit her lip and looked around.
