"One may become accustomed to something in twenty-one days, but that would require not killing it before hand."

"Oh shut up Teme! I'm not happy about this either!" Naruto glared at the dripping boy in front of him standing in nothing but a towel in his apartment's doorway. Naruto stood out in the hallway with a huge heavy box and a book bag on his back trying to gain entrance.

Sometimes he wondered if the raven had any shame, but then he remembered that he didn't care. Sasuke has always been chased by girls for his looks, so one can only assume that standing out in the open naked would be nothing to someone who has always been told how dreamy they were. That was what Naruto though at least.

"Can you please let me in and go finish your shower, not everyone wants to see your neon white ass!" Naruto pushed past Sasuke while being glared at. He examined the room and resisted the urge to jump when he heard the door slam shut. "Just point me in the direction of food and we can get along."

Turning to give the steaming Uchiha a brilliant smile, he shivered at the darkness that seemed to extend from him. "Let me get something through your head Naruto Uzamaki!" He silently stomped to the blond jabbing his index finger into Naruto's face. "I don't care what Sensei says, you touch anything I'll break every bone in your body. You break something I will strangle you and gladly watch the light leave those bright blue eyes of yours! God so help me, if you break any rule that either sensei or I set down for you, I will hand deliver your unconscious body to Sound myself! Do you got that Dobe?" Sasuke's endless eyes hadn't blinked once and promised worse suffering than what Sasuke had promised.

Naruto being one to never back down held his ground and smiled even brighter. "I think you lost something there sunshine." He let out a chuckle at the confusion the Uchiha portrayed, slowly though he seemed to make a few connections and looked down.

Naruto turned and dropped his box on the floor to try to give the Raven a moment of privacy at least. After all, throughout his threats he had lost the only article of clothing that he had been wearing. It seemed even an Uchiha could manage a few blunders throughout their lifetimes, and Naruto made sure to store that fact in his brain as he turned. He had though that by now Sasuke would be flustered but have the towel back around him, but that would be too predictable.

Of all people, Sasuke was not someone that would admit to a fault, and picking up his towel would be admitting he had dropped it. So instead he stood there just as peeved as he had been not too long ago. Naruto smirked as he realized the fun he could have while here, who wouldn't try to see how far they could push a pissed off, embarrassed, and naked Sasuke. Bringing up as much courage to the surface as he could, he put his hands on his hips and made eye contact with the Raven.

"Usually whenever someone wants to be naked in a room with me, they just tell me. Then again, they aren't usually Uchiha, or male for that matter." Naruto laughed as Sasuke closed his eyes, the only sign that his anger was growing by the milliseconds.

BAM

Naruto squatted on the ground with his hands over his head and his eyes shut tightly to keep the tears in. He moaned and hissed in pain, Sasuke smirked at the umbrella he held in his hand, he would have to make a mental note to by a new one to replace the now broken one. Throwing it on the ground he moved past the heap of Naruto on the ground into a room closing and locking the door behind him.

Although the pain was still searing Naruto released his head and stood to look for the kitchen, he was being serious earlier. After walking into through the front door he found himself in the living room, to the left were a few doors and to the right, much to Naruto's happiness, he saw an elaborate kitchen with an island in the center of the room. He made his way for the kitchen but before he could go anywhere Sasuke swung his door open making the blond jump.

"Don't even think about it Dobe! I am getting ready to make dinner, whatever I make you will eat and that's it!" Sasuke walked by him and Naruto could smell his natural scent mixed wit a prominent earthy cologne. He was now wearing a pair of loose, baggy, dark blue pajama pants with tiny white dots spaced out from each other. Along with the pajama pants he wore a baby blue shirt that had a treble clef over his heart, and his hair dripped over it and clung to his neck and cheek.

Naruto stuck his tongue out but followed Sasuke into the kitchen, determined to find something to eat. Once they made it into the kitchen Sasuke instantly pulled out a silver skillet and meat from the fridge. Naruto smiled at the fish now sitting on the counter but grimaced when he saw that Sasuke now busied himself with cutting vegetables up. As if feeling eyes on him Sasuke looked up with a glare.

"hn." He flicked the knife up, bringing the tip of the knife inches from Naruto's nose. Whenever Naruto blinked and backed away quickly he stabbed the knife into the cutting bored with a smirk.

"Teme, you shouldn't be allowed to own those things, let alone use them when you have guests over! That's some way to treat a guest, first you refuse to invite me in, then you flash me, and now I'm being threaten with kitchen wear!" Naruto was being dramatic, he knew this, but that was the best part, his favorite part. Throwing his hands in the air he did a quick flourish with his hands towards his host. "This, my friend, is why you have no friends other than me!"

"You're not my friend idiot, and you're not my guest. You are an intruder at the most, and apparently an assignment. The only reason your here is because your too weak to take care of yourself!" Sasuke had traveled from the cutting board to Naruto pushing him back against the fridge. He had struck something with Naruto and he could tell when he didn't hear a sarcastic or dramatic reply back. Instead Naruto turned his head to look away from him.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, analyzing and taking in as much information as he could. "Naruto, you don't hide from anything, why are you here?" He saw the small flinch that Naruto tried to suppress. Furrowing his brows he tried to recall what it was that Naruto had said when he opened the front door to see a grinning blond carrying a box.

At the moment he couldn't recall anything that he had said. He was so shocked and angry that he had barely heard anything with the blood pumping through his veins. He had been pulled from his shower and then told that Kakashi sensei had demanded Naruto stay there with him. After that the only thing he heard was Naruto saying, "C'mon don't make that face! It's only going to be for a month, and some people say that after twenty-one days you become so use to things that you feel lost without them. When I finally do leave you'll actually miss me."

Sasuke just realized something. "What do you mean you'll be here for a whole month?! You can't stay here for a month! I don't care how much trouble you're in!"

Naruto pushed Sasuke away from him and glared. "Who said I was in trouble? Maybe I was sent here to protect you, ever think of that?" Sasuke let out a small chuckle, and turned away to finish chopping up food. "Hey! Bastard, don't laugh, what is there to laugh at?" Sasuke shook his head and looked up from his work.

Naruto was tensed up and glaring, but Sasuke knew that whatever it was, Naruto was too ashamed of to admit to. Somehow that tugged on a weak spot in his heart and so he just dropped it.

For now at least.

"You aren't going to leave your shit in the middle of my floor. Go put it away in the spare bedroom." Sasuke took note that when he didn't mention Naruto's reasoning for being there he became relaxed and seemed relieved. He then seemed to become confused. "It's the third and last door on the left wall coming from the front door. The first one is the bathroom and the second one is my room. Step one foot in there, and you will wish death to come for you."

Even though Sasuke spoke his threat half heartily, Naruto knew better than to even think about intruding on Sasuke Uchiha's privacy. He was perfectly content with just messing with the Uchiha himself. "Real quick question Sasuke." Sasuke looked up with a raised eyebrow at the sudden serious tone that Naruto was now using. "Do you always walk around naked in front of the people that come to visit you, or am I special?"

Naruto managed to crouch down as a knife embedded into the refrigerator where his head had been before. He chuckled and crawled into the living room towards his box. His smile faltered as he realized a scroll had fallen from the box. He picked it up frantically and shoved it into the depths of his box.

No one can know, because there is no one who could even begin to understand.
