Hi. My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and I'm a Sasuke-a-holic. Stop! Don't laugh; it's unfortunately true. I think my little crush has developed into a mild obsession; he's like a god to me. I've been crushing on him since the Chunin exams at least, but don't tell; it's a secret. I swear, it doesn't show on the outside, but every time I'm even in his presence I giggle stupidly to myself. I haven't been caught, which should lead you to the conclusion that I'm a very good actor. OHMYGODIJUSTSAWSASUKE! And being a good actor is a godsend considering the situations I keep finding myself in. OHMYGAWDTHEREHEISAGAIN! To my complete and utter silent giddiness, my crush is looking my way. Wait... And he's coming strait for me! Oh no! That can only mean three things. a) I have something on my face. b) I've done something wrong. c) My fly is unzipped. The latter has only happened to me once, but it's still an option.

"Naruto, can I talk to you?"

I nod and allow him to lead me away from Sakura a bit. I've done something wrong haven't I! Something to horribly unfixably anger my living god on earth! Come on, mouth! Work, damn you!

"Wuh?"

Oh, smooth one Naruto. That had to be the most intelligent thing you've said to him all day. Now he's just going to be even more pissed because I'm zoning out again, as I let my eyes wander down his neck, chest, stomach- Naruto! Bad! He'll see you if you have to remove your eye contact he's established!

"Where are your bags? You remembered to pack, right? You know what today is?"

"Uh, it's Easter?"

He's giving me one of his looks. I assume it's the 'You-can't-be-serious' look, or the 'Are-you-really-that-stupid-Uzumaki?' look. Most likely the latter because I'm supposed to remember something. Birthdays? Uh, no. Anniversaries? Ha ha! No. Some sort of outing? Most likely. Now what outing was it...?

"Are we going yet?"

Ooh! Ooh! A hint! Okay, something Sakura would seem to enjoy... Pretty much anything girly, I suppose. Or maybe a special mission she can use her huge forehead for? I can't believe I used to like her. Billboard brow! Now which one do I guess to make me look just the slightest bit smarter in front of my crush? As if on queue, he glares at me.

"I'm sorry, I really don't remember!"

I smile. When in doubt, always take the honest route. Even when it does always make me look like a total fool. Sasuke sighs, and leans against a nearby tree.

"Figures you'd forget."

What's that supposed to mean? Just because I'm constantly lost in my day dreaming about you, doesn't mean you can just assume I'm not paying attention to anything! Even if I usually aren't... Because you're standing next to me, talking to me... telling me I'm an idiot... Hey! Wait a minute! Sasuke notices my pulsing vein, and smirks. Well, okay... A half smile will allow me to forgive him. Even though I'd much rather leap on him, tear off my clothes, and demand that he take me right then and there. Even more so if it was the other way around. An Easter present just for me? Aw, you shouldn't have. I think some chocolate sauce is in order for- No! You're doing it again Naruto! He's staring at me so intently, I almost can't believe I lost control like that. Mentally; I didn't actually jump him.

"Does it have to do with ninjas?"

"What doesn't?"

"Oh. Right." 'Can I rape you now?'

"No."

"What!" I almost pissed myself.

"It's not supposed to be a mission. Just a trip. To us, anyway."

Oh, god! Don't do that to me! My heart is racing a mile a minute! Uh-oh, I think he can tell. Am I sweating excessively? It sure feels like it. Those hot black eyes are going to burn me if I don't get a hold of myself.

"Are you coming down with something, Naruto?"

Yah, a bad case of Sasuke overdose. If there is such a thing, which I highly doubt there is. He's leaning towards me, only making my situation that much worse. After a second of gazing into his eyes (it seemed like eternity), I manage to stutter a reply.

"I... I think I might."

"Maybe you should stay behind."

Only if you're staying with me. You know, some alone time together? Let's work on our team work...

"No,"

AAHH!

"Don't give me that look. Sakura and I can't stay, and Kakashi's our tour guide. If you're sick, you need to stay here by yourself and get better."

"I'll be fine! Where're we going again?"

Sasuke sighs, hands me a brochure, and walks off to let Sakura know we might be a bit late. I didn't think I was that scatter brained... Oh, look! There's a rather nice looking campsite on the front of this- Campsite...? Oh... NO! I remember now! I was supposed to pack for a weeks camping trip with the team! How could I over look something this big! I run down the street to my house and up to my room, where I unceremoniously throw all my clothes, and toothbrush and toothpaste into my suitcase. Is that all? No, wait; I need my flashlight and sleeping bag...

RIIIIIIIIIIIP!

Please don't tell me that was my sleeping bag, please don't tell me that was my sleeping bag, please, please, please don't tell my that was my sleeping bag! For once I wish it was my pants.

"Shit."

"Naruto, what was that ripping sound just now?"

"Um, nothing at all! I'll be right down! I, uh, just lost something important."

"Hurry up, you big chicken!"

Even though I knew that loosing something had nothing to do with the ripping sound. Unless of course it was my mind; that might explain a few things. What, never heard a stupid lie before? I throw my pillow in over everything, giving it one savage punch before closing the top and zipping it shut. There's actually a heck of a lot of room in the giant, waterproof suitcase. I could pack another me in here as well as my clothes and pillow! Suddenly I've got this horrible fluttering, yet sinking feeling in my stomach...

I could just see myself, a hyper blonde, trying to hide my poor mutilated bag behind my back in a guilty attempt to shield it from Sasuke's piercing glare. I already know who's going to be the victor in that situation. I step out of my room, and walk calmly down the stairs, suitcase thumping on them behind me. No point in trying to hide the bag now; there are feathers drifting lightly in the hallway behind me where it'd ripped. Sakura gapes at me.

"Oh, no! Your sleeping bag!"

"No big, I've live."

... What? You were expecting me to fall to my knees in front of the pile of down, crying 'Why! Why! My prized possession has been brutally torn! Why cruel world! WHY!' and then hug the pile of, by then, soggy feathers, sobbing? No way! I'm Naruto, and as Naruto, it is my duty to never lose my temper or cool with my teammates, no matter what they do.

"WHAT'RE YOU LOOKIN' AT, SASUKE!"

After a smirk, Sasuke actually looks entertained, considering he knows I don't have anything else to bring as a blanket. I simply scoop up the fluffy mess, and dump it into my suitcase. I get the sinking feeling I'll be using them for something, but my brain has yet to figure it out.

"You're just going to take the feathers?"

"Waste not, want not. That's what somebody always said."

"Hn."

I can see you snickering, Sasuke. Oh! I've made the god of beauty laugh! Even if it is at my expense, just seeing that twinkle in his eye... sniff It just gets me, right here. It's just a bit ironic that my suffering is now making me happy...

"Ready to go now?"

"YOU BET! Let's share a tent..."

"Whoo."

I say, oh-so-enthusiastically, pumping my arm weakly into the air. I need to polish my acting a bit more... Let me try that again. I drop my bag with a bang, and throw both arms up as high as they will go.

"I'm so excited, I can't WAIT! All right, road trip!"

THANK YOU! Thank you very much! An Oscar winning performance by the handsome and dashing Naruto Uzumaki! Oh, wow! I want to thank billboard, and my stupid uber late sensei, and best of all, Sasuke! Mostly Sasuke, because he's entirely the reason I need to act in the first place! I never could've done it without you, love! Now let's go make out!

"You're doing it again."

A voice murmurs in my ear. I shiver at the warm breath on my neck, and fight to keep from swooning.

"Doing what?"

I ask, turning innocently to look at Sasuke. I get the feeling sometimes he can read my thoughts, but only just the basics. The only thing to throw him off my tracks (Or, in my case, place him gently to the side), is to act perfectly as I should. Also, I have to come up with a reason why I keep running off to La-la land more and more often, other than the obvious truth that I become more infatuated with my worshipped god every day.

"Zoning out. It looked like you were thinking something interesting."

Stick around long enough, and I'll start to drool.

"Are you hungry, Naruto?"

Oops, I already am. Thanks for letting me know before it got too outta hand, Sakura!

"Oh, yeah! I'm starving!"

Well, it's partly true. I could really go for some instant ramen right about now. Ramen and Sasuke. The two things I love most in the whole entire world- AUGH! Oh, crap...! Now I've fallen on my face in front of Sasuke!

"Dobe."

"Shut up!"

As much as I hate to act this way, it would look totally weird to anyone if I just suddenly started being nice to him. He raises an eyebrow, and offers me a hand. My old self would've smacked it and jumped up by myself, but I ended up taking it anyway. Unfortunately I lose my footing again, and drag him down with me. Oops! Heh, now that we're down here... wanna just roll away, and leave Sakura while we-

"Dobe!"

Oh dear. Looks like I've bruised him. ... OH MY GOD I'VE MARRED A GODS PERFECT SKIN! He's glaring at me, as if I'd meant to do it. I didn't! Really!

"I'm really sorry!"

"Whatever. Klutz."

I'm sobbing hysterically inside as we arrive at the campsite. I'm not a kluuuuutz! Well, maybe I am, but it's not like I mean to be! I'm just a bit clueless, and clumsy! Though I guess that's what you'd call a klutz... I start to put up my tent away from the others. Mostly because my tent is crap, and I can't even believe they even made it in the first place, let alone suckered me into buying it when I was daydreaming. I really aught to steer clear of the shops before I La-la-land myself into trouble. At least I got the big suitcase; I was planning to sleep in it and leave a doppelganger to guard my tent at night. As I throw my bag into the little tent, I hear a noise. I run over quickly, and peek through the trees to see Sakura and Sasuke kissing.

I don't think my world could get any darker right now.

"I love you, Sasuke."

"I know."

Okay, I think I lied. It just got a hell of a lot darker. I leave before I can hear anything else, and sulk off into my tent wherein I lock myself into my suit case and set up a doppleganger. And yes, I do know how stupid that sounded. As I begin to drift off, I find it interesting that I'm not thinking of Sasuke. I always had before...
