fic + pic + inane babble

[askerian]

ehehe, i know i said i'd write this afternoon, but i ended up taking a nap that spread until nine PM so i didn't do as much as i could have ^^;

Asuka is teh happy because:

-joosetta wrote more nejinarusasu-ness and ahhh i'm so happy. *rolls in angst and smex* part one and part two.

-Tomorrow and monday the bus drivers are on strike, and i can't be expected to try going to work/school if there's no way for me to go back home. X3

-I NOW OWN A KONOHA HEADBAND. MUAHAHAHAHAHA. *tries it on, various styles* Hinata-style is so cute. Sakura-style -- well, she must use pins or something, because i can't move my head too fast without it falling. I'm gonna try kakashi-style later XD in front of the computer it's not the best to only have an eye, especially not when my eyesight already sucks.
I have a sasuke-pen too. *happys*

-mmmm juicy pear and dark chocolate. MMMMM. *joygasms*



"Hey, what are you doing here? I thought we weren't supposed to meet before the end of the week."

Kakashi shrugged. "You always complain I'm late. You should be happy."

"... Did you take bullshitting classes or does it come naturally?" Naruto asked with a cheeky grin, before sobering up. "Seriously... is there a problem?"

Kakashi actually looked at him this time. "No, not really. I was just walking past."

Translation, I wanted to check on you all so I followed you out here. Naruto was fluent in strong-and-silent-ese by now.

"Sakura's staying with Ino," he commented. It sounded almost random if you didn't know he was answering a question Kakashi would never stoop so low as to ask. "And Sasuke's place is really cramped with the two of us. Maybe you'll be lucky and we'll kill each other before the end of the week."

Kakashi eye-grinned innocently. "Ah, don't say that as if I wouldn't miss you two." Before Naruto could formulate a sufficiently sarcastic answer, the man had teleported to a pole close to where Sasuke was showing Sakura a particularly vicious heel-strike. Rolling his eyes and laughing at the same time, Naruto started jogging to join the little group.

"Say, Sasuke, have you ever thought of becoming a teacher?" Kakashi was asking innocently as Naruto reached them.

Sasuke's face was so funny, Naruto had to bite his cheek to keep from laughing. It was a mix of "gnhuh?", "ick, no way in hell!" and "how am I going to get rid of him?"

Even Sakura was grimacing at the thought. She was trying to cover up how badly she was panting, but Naruto had a close eye on her chest -- uh, on her, and he could tell that she wanted to sit down pretty badly. She was sweaty and streaked with dirt, and she looked tired enough to finally let go of her anger. Naruto wanted her to laugh a little, so he took the most sadistic-glee expression he could muster up, and tried to imitate Sasuke's clipped tones and hoped she didn't jump to the bastard's defense. "This would be the best job ever. I know so many places to hide the bodies."

He evaded a slap to the head from the bastard, laughing, then forced his face to freeze in a forbidding Sasuke-expression. "Water-walking is the easiest thing on earth, even for morons like yourselves. If Masao can't manage it, he deserves to drown."

Sakura let out a giggle, that she muffled quickly with an apologetic look at Sasuke. Sasuke gave him a dark glare, and Naruto wisely jumped behind Kakashi who was pretending not to hear or see anything at all.

"Keiko, if you can't master enough subtlety to ogle my ass without my noticing -- hah, missed, bastard -- then I'm certainly not going to pass you on your stealth test."

Sakura was turning red with the effort she made not to laugh too loudly, and even Kakashi was looking suspiciously amused. Naruto gave himself a mental pat on the back.

Sasuke paused, gave him a narrow-eyed glare, and then he smirked. "We'll be learning how to throw kunai today. There's Naruto. Go for it."

Naruto snickered, and emerged from his hiding place. "I'm sure you would, too. Bastard."

Sakura sat on her heels heavily, hands wrapped around her waist as she laughed hard enough to make tears gather on her eyelashes. "Oh, god. The -- the poor children -- the trauma -- worse than Kakashi-sensei--"

"Oi," the man shot back, pretending to feel hurt.

Sakura was laughing so hard, it worried Naruto a little. It hadn't been that funny. He went to her and sat on his heels at her side, touching her shoulder gently. She crumpled against his shoulder, still giggling herself breathless.

"Sorry... sorry... I'm just tired, that's all... But -- god, Sasuke-kun with students!"

He patted her back gently, grinning. "Hell yeah. Sasuke in charge of kids? I'm terrified just to think of it."

He realized what he'd just said when Sasuke turned away, back stiff, and moved to leave.

Letting him leave would be a bad, bad idea -- when Sasuke was allowed to sulk, he tended to pick at whatever had hurt him until the sting changed into a festering wound. Naruto lunged, snagging his waistband, and pulled him back sharply.

Sasuke landed on his lap, and immediately twisted free, a knee in the dirt between Naruto and Sakura. He was about to jump on his feet, eyes blazing, when Sakura touched his arm, giving him a pleading look. He paused just long enough for Naruto to sling an arm around his shoulders and give him an awkward -- but still manly -- hug.

"Hey, don't sulk. We didn't mean it like that. You know we love you."

He'd meant to say that casually, but somehow seeing the way Sakura's cheeks pinked and Sasuke stilled so totally, to them it had probably sounded a lot more... declaration-y. He almost started gibbering that he hadn't meant it like that, and then -- watching Sakura's head bowed in a mix between a nod and an attempt to hide behind her hair, and Sasuke's mildly stunned look -- decided that he did mean it, even if he hadn't planned to actually say it out loud right then, especially not with Kakashi so close.

He wasn't going to take it back. But he wasn't going to let the situation slide into shy-and-stuttering romance, so he grinned and let Sasuke go.





As always if you see weird grammar or characterization or something that could stand to be tweaked/developed, please tell me. *loves on everyone*



Heh. her legs are a bit on the short side, but. WHATEVER.

ohh, the 'love declaration'! Cute! ^_^ I love that sketch too.

You know...I really can see Sasuke as a teacher...it could work.

[askerian]

you CAN?

I can too, and it's bloody hilarious half the time. One day i'll write a fic about it. XD

[purple-angel01.livejournal.com]

yeah, yeah, I can totally see it. I mean, it would be kind of ironic, if the great uchiha prodigy ended up as a teacher, but hey, he could have...useful talents to pass on. And yea, it would be funny ^_^.

[silverkiiri.livejournal.com]

God, I love Teamwork so much. It tickles me to no end when I see new parts come out on LJ. The relationship they have is . . . just perfect. And Kakashi is so funny it your fics. ::grin:: You are teh sex. And that pic of Saki-chan is teh sex too.

One of these days, I may ask one of your fics to marry me. **snickers**

[kiyakotari.livejournal.com]

Oh, and by the way...Welcome to the Hallowed Halls of Those Who Own Konoha Headbands! I wear mine on my thigh ALL the time (my friends/teachers/family have just come to accept it) because it looks dorky on my head.

[askerian]

on your thigh? ooooh, it might work... i'll have to try it on like that ^^

[askerian]

;_; my fic, not me? *heartbroken*

[malika.livejournal.com]

HELLO SASU-CHAN WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE MOLESTED TODAY~~ *eats*

and whee, just plain interaction and mopey Sasuke and KAKASHI! --I miss IC Kakashi fic! oh yeah, and Sakura's breasts. D:

[askerian]

WHY YES I WOULD -- i mean FUCK NO YOU PERV. DIEDIEDIE.

^^; kakashi is aggravating to write.

the fandom needs more boobies.

[malika.livejournal.com]

I can imagine so. yer Kakashi muse is probably constantly late :3

everything needs more boobies.

[aconite.livejournal.com]

Aww they're just so cute! And Naruto's akward yet manly hugs and sulky Sasuke!

*steals your pear and chocolate* :P

[askerian]

;_____; !!!!! my food!!! NOOOOOES!!!!! I can't live without my pears and chocolate!!!!

*dies of starvation and a broken heart*

[naanima.livejournal.com]

You know I read /everything/ you write, and this include your GW fics, and there are times I wish I actually paid attention in my French class way back during High School so I might actually have a chance at reading your work in another language. But anyways, I /love/ the way you write fics, the way you build the plot and characters up, and resolve issues/matters in a way that make me giggle in glee. I might not comment to all of your fics (hopless replies/comments person), but I do read them and I enjoy them so much (everytime I see you update with fic I throw a little cheer ^_^). So, uhm, yeah, LOVE 'Teamwork', love the extra bits you have been writing for the series, and I'm slightly in awe of your 'dark' fics. And sinc eI'm completely hopeless when it comes to grammar, all I can say is, "UPDATE! YAY" *koffs*

[forelyse.livejournal.com]

It took me a moment to picture "sitting on their heels", but that may just be me. ^^; Wonderful writing, as always.

And Saki-chan! bitch-boots! yay!

[askerian]

i dunno, crouching just didn't work the same way for me. if you think it's too weird, i can change it. it's just one of the expressions i use often and i can't remember in which language it's supposed to be used or even if i made it up. ~_~;;;

[joisbishmyoga.livejournal.com]

Saki-chan.

Oh.
My.
God.

*DHED*

*becomes vampire and rises from the grave solely to molest Saki-chan*

... I would pay money to see Naruto with his head buried under Saki-chan's skirt front. Would he do that?

My god.

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

>_>;;

*whispers* Bother Asuka for the next part of Saki-chan's Amazing Adventures. Because, you know, that happens. Or it should if Asuka actually WRITES.

[joisbishmyoga.livejournal.com]

*whispers back* I did, and begged demanded suggested wondered aloud pervily about the additional possibilities involving sexy-no- and kagebunshin jutsus.

...

*takes a second to perv at Saki-chan again*

[miko-no-da.livejournal.com]

SQUEEEE SO CUTE! Love on it as always.

And the Saki-chan pic is adorable. ^___^

[askerian]

eee thank you *purrpurr*

[shadowzephyr.livejournal.com]

Naruto imitating teacher!sasuke had me dying from laughing

Sasuke paused, gave him a narrow-eyed glare, and then he smirked. "We'll be learning how to throw kunai today. There's Naruto. Go for it."

*giggles uncontrollably*

And, Hey, a love confession! Just like Naruto to be the one to just come out with what everyone was feeling but not admitting, completely accidentally.
/grin

[rainbowlasers.livejournal.com]

**tackles-glomp** **luffs**

Heeeeeeee that part was soooooo good! I was laughing more then Sakura at the teacher bit!! XD

Hey, it could work. I mean, common. KAKASHI is a sensei o___o;

And EEEE Saki-chan!

And EEEE **molests** I'm kidnapping you **loves**

[who-shot-kr.livejournal.com]

We give a BIIIIG thumbs up for the cleavage. XD

[askerian]

rawr, baby. *makes sakura's dress rip Just For You*

[edenfalling]

It is always good when Naruto and Sakura mock Sasuke -- and I'm so glad he's comfortable enough to play along with it!

I am in a nitpicking mood, so, fixes:

Naruto had a close eye on her chest -- uh, on her, and he could tell that she wanted to sit down pretty badly. I think a second dash after 'her' would be better than a comma.

he took the most sadistic-glee expression he could muster up 'most sadistically gleeful,' perhaps. As it stands, I can tell exactly what you mean but grammatically it's a little screwy.

Sakura let out a giggle, that she muffled quickly Death to the comma!

Sasuke paused, gave him a narrow-eyed glare, and then he smirked. Take out the 'he.' It makes it sound like Naruto is smirking instead of Sasuke.

As for the picture... man, those are some intimidating boots! :-)

[huparcho.livejournal.com]

I've lost count on how many times I've reread the Teamwork series. It has turned me around from thinking that Sasunaru was completely workable to tolerating it as long as its part of sakusasunaru.

As for grammar, only one thing struck me:

"This would be the best job ever. I know so many places to hide the bodies."- This was confusing. I think that replacing this eith that would work better. Also, It wasn't clear whose bodies he would be hypothetically hiding.

[rurounitriv.livejournal.com]

Love the teacher!Sasuke imitation, I can so see Naruto doing something like that - and getting it accurate enough that he'd have anyone who knew Sasuke rolling on the ground. *snicker*

[askerian]

whee! i'm happy it works ^____^

[greycolourgirl.livejournal.com]

(Loves you all over again) Heh, Sasuke reacting like that is so...Sasuke. All temper tantrumy. xD
I lvoe your Saki-chan <3
Also, you think your special huh? Now you have a Konoha headband? Well HAH, I have a Sand AND Konoha headband!......yeah, we're special ;D I spent hours teasing my friends on webcam wearing them in different styles. ^^ I can wear the Konoha headband like Sakura tho, because I too have a big forehead/head itself.
And I don't understand how Kakashi can fight. His depth perception will be all off.

[askerian]

i could have a HAKU headband if i wanted!!! XP so there.

kakashi learned to adjust, i think. also, he's that speshul.

[nacchi-camui.livejournal.com]

Yaaay, enfin une Saki-chan !! *loves on*

"Sasuke paused, gave him a narrow-eyed glare, and then he smirked. "We'll be learning how to throw kunai today. There's Naruto. Go for it."
XDDD
Sasuke prof....je crois que les kunoichis l'écouteraient pas (trop occupées à matter XD)

"I NOW OWN A KONOHA HEADBAND"
;__; z'en veux un aussi. Dès que j'aurai du fric. *soupir*

[askerian]

XD ouais, je crois aussi. s'il avait une minette dans son équipe il passerait son temps à ignorer ses regards énamourés. (ce qui serait marrant serait d'avoir un des gamins gay. ca doit bien arriver non XD)

[jamjar.livejournal.com]

Huh. In that picture, Saki-chan looks more aggressive.

[askerian]

she's aggressive with anyone that's not naruto, i think XD kinda like, you can look but touch and i'll rip your entrails out through your nose.

[reiichi.livejournal.com]

Random thought 1 : Just bought a sound headband. But I guess it doesn't count, since I'm cosplaying Kin for Epita :P
Random thought 2 : I did not like Sasuke before. Then I started to read your Naruto fics. And I started to like him, at least a little. Not that your Sasuke is much different from Kishimoto's - you stay true to the way he's shown in the manga... but you make him much, much more likeable.

[askerian]

oooh kin. ^___^ t'as une perruque?

#^^# maciiii

[bloodyscary.livejournal.com]

J'en connais une qui ca faire sa ninja a pipita XD

[askerian]

9_9;;; qui moi?

je voudrais bien cosplayer en tsunade, mais elle porte pas de bandeau de toute manière.

[windshades.livejournal.com]

*squee* love declaration! Sasuke!teacher imitation! *happy*
Saki-chan! Oooooh! I *love* *want* *need* those boots!
You've done a wonderful job, as always. ^_^!
