More Dreamscape!Naruto shiz

Naruto was whistling while he hacked into the security mainframe; it was one of his many annoying habits. Sasuke couldn't stand it, because the whistling was always a prelude to singing.

"Oh, Mr. Sandman...send me a dream, bum bum bum- make her the sweetest girl that I've ever seen, bum bum bum..." He ripped a pair of wires out of the terminal box and bit the insulation off the ends.

It was just one assignment, Sasuke reminded himself. One assignment, and then he had leave time, and he wouldn't have to see or hear Naruto for two whole weeks. The temptation to kick the idiot was unbearable.

Naruto seemed completely oblivious to his partner's irritation- in fact, he'd begun giggling. He had to put the wires down and pull out of the terminal for a moment so he could bury his face in his hands to muffle his sniggering.

"What the fuck is so funny, Foxface?" Sasuke hissed. He hated crawling around maintainence tunnels; there wasn't any room to dodge in them and they smelled funny.

"Get off my channel, Sandy-butt. I'm busy." Naruto's goggles had gone opaque, meaning he was getting a visual from somewhere else- or he was just being difficult.

"What?" Sasuke hated it when Naruto spoke in nonsense. It would have been tolerable if only he didn't do it so often.

"I'm not talkin' to you, grumpy pants." Naruto sniggered again. "We gab droog-droogoo some other click, Sandy-butt. Shut your pie- oh." His laughter took on a slightly breathless edge; he wasn't talking to Sasuke anymore.

"I swear to god, if you're cybering with Sandman while we're on assignment, I will kick your ass so hard you'll be tasting my foot until next payday." He grabbed Naruto by the hair and shook him firmly, careful to not dislodge the goggles.

The opaque display fizzled out; the red lenses made Naruto's normally blue eyes appear black. He gave Sasuke one long, unreadable stare and flicked the opacity back on. "Touch me again an' I'll rip your throat out, bastard." His fingernails extended into claws, which he buried into the mess of wires and circuitry in front of him.

"Are we playing nice, children?" Kakashi approached with a soft whirr and click of gears. "Is the security system down yet, Rat?"

The line of Naruto's shoulder's tensed, and he gave a final, vicious twist to the wires in the box. "Yeah. We good to go."

Kakashi smiled. "Good. Let's get this over with."

Sasuke ignored the uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach and adjusted the harness on his weapons. One assignment, that was all. He brushed a line of mildew off the sleeve of his jacket. He hated working underground.

Okay, that's all I've got, beyond people explaining the Naruto plot in Dreamscape terms. (Instead of jinchuriiki, there are Rat Princes. And the Akatsuki are just another Super Villain team...But I'm not sure how the Rat Queen translates into Naruto.) And, for the record, Gaara wasn't actually sending Naruto porn, just pictures of swimsuit models with Sasuke's face superimposed on them. The sandsiblings are all Rats, of course, since Gaara would be Prince Unit 01. ("Sandman" is probably one of the better code names; Kankurou is "Puppet Master," but Temari is stuck being "Fangirl." Ouch. Better than Tenten; her alias is either "Token" or "Meatball," because I'm really not putting any effort into this.)

Right, I'm done.

Yaaaaay. I think I like this Universe, even if I don't understand it. ("FLY AWAY, LOGIC! BE FREE!" is sort of the impression I'm getting.)

Rat Queen: leader of the Juuinchi? Hmmm. I don't think Naruto has anyone like that, although Leader is setting himself up for it. A coup?!!

Sasuke is so wonderfully easy to irritate. Aaahh.
