I've started another story but I never finished it. And then I started another story that was really just a free write and again I never finished it or polished it up.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did then it would not be suitable for television, and the manga would be on the highest shelf or behind the counter… if only if only.

Arabian Nights

"Sasuke!"

Squeals of girls of every class could be heard in the marketplace as Sasuke the vagabond walked down the street, glaring at any girl that dared stop him. He was looking for his cousin and knew he would be in the marketplace since he was a very good pickpocket. Sasuke spotted his cousin standing with rich looking men that were bidding on the slaves and was about to call him over when two things grabbed him.

"Sasuke! I was calling you. Didn't you hear me?"

"I was calling him first big forehead. Sasuke why don't we grab a bite to eat?"

"I saw him first Ino-pig! You look tense Sasuke. Want me to massage you?"

"Like he'd want your filthy hands to touch him!"

Sasuke's eye started to twitch as the two bickering girls started to get louder. Since they were yelling at each other, they let go of him and didn't notice him side step them and dragged his cousin away from the rich men before they would notice anything missing.

"I've been robbed!!"

To late.

"Stop! Thief!!!"

Sasuke and his cousin started running away, but before they could make it out of the gate, the Sultan's personal guards came through.

"Everyone out of the way. No one may lay his or her eyes on the son of the Sultan on pain of death!"

Everyone in the road ran for any building because they knew the guards would kill anyone looking at the son of the Sultan. Before they were flogged by the guards on horses, Sasuke and his cousin hid behind a curtain in a pottery tent.

"I can understand why the Sultan wouldn't want his daughter to be seen, if he had one, but why his son?"

"Do you not listen to anything the girls tell you Sasuke?"

Sasuke just gave him a bland look.

"Do women not interest you or something? And if I tell you, what do I get?"

"Do you really want me to answer that?"

"Don't answer a question with a question and you didn't even answer my second question."

Sasuke just glared at his cousin. He sometimes wanted to kill him. Sasuke didn't understand why girls didn't flock to his cousin. Everyone said they looked alike. Maybe it was because he was just so fake sometimes.

"If you don't tell me then I'll throw you out of the tent and let the guards kill you."

"Dear cousin you wound me so."

More glaring from Sasuke and a sigh from Sai. (If you couldn't figure out whom it was from the slight description.) At this time the palanquin carrying the Sultan's son was set down because an ox cart was blocking the road.

"The son of the Sultan is a submissive. He can bear children. And it is said that his beauty is a very rare thing to behold. Anyone who has seen him fall in love with him but no one has captured his heart. They say he is the purest of pure but he is as mischievous as a fox. Hmm what else have they said? Oh and he absolutely loves ramen."

"He sounds like an idiot. But I want to see if he is that beautiful."

"Dear cousin, I didn't know you were suicidal. I guess I'll comfort all the maidens that will weep for your death."

"Aren't we poetic today."

Sasuke grabbed one of the clay pots and threw it so it would land on the other side of the palanquin. Once all the guards and palanquin carriers looked over, Sasuke ran and slipped passed the curtains of the palanquin. When he slipped in the first thing he saw was the back of someone laying down but once he landed the person turned around and Sasuke's breath was stolen from him. For he encountered the most beautiful eyes that he has ever seen in his life. The clearest and brightest of blue that would be seen after the rain when the air was absolutely clear stared at him in shock. After he got his breath back he noticed that the boy had blonde hair but the rest of the face had a veil over it. He'd have to change that.

"Who are you?!"

"I'm not going to hurt you. I just wanted to see if what they say is true."

"They? Who are 'they' and what do 'they' say?"

"The people. They say that you are the most beautiful being and that it is really rare to see."

The boy just blinked and then scrunched his face up.

"Beautiful?! But I'm a boy!!!"

Sasuke looked at him from head to toe. He was wearing a light blue baggy belly shirt and white loose gauzy pants. Sasuke thought of something and couldn't help but smirk.

"That's debatable."

"What!?! What do you mean by that???"

"Well with the way you're dressed it's hard to tell."

The boy then glared at him and Sasuke was thinking that he puffed his cheeks and was probably pouting. Sasuke then ran his hand up the loose shirt and felt up the boys chest making the boy squeal and jump away.

"Well some women do have flat chests."

"I AM nomph pha pher."

Sasuke clamped his hand over the boy's mouth and glared at him while the boy glared back. When he was sure the boy was quiet he took his hand away.

"I don't want to get caught dobe. There is one last way to confirm that you're not a girl."

"What did you call me?? And I thought you just came in here to confirm my 'beauty.'"

"Hn."

Sasuke wouldn't admit it but he actually forgot about that because he was having fun messing with the boy. So that he wouldn't forget again, he brought his hand up to the veil and pulled it off. His heart seemed to stop and then jumped back to life along with his libido. The only thought that went through his mind was 'Wow.' The boy had three scars and each cheek that looked more like whiskers, the cutest nose that fit his face perfectly, and the most kissable, delectable looking lips he'd ever seen. Once higher brain function came back he felt how his lower half reacted.

"It is true what they say but I still have to make sure you're a boy."

The boy blinked at him cutely and he had to stop himself from pouncing immediately. He placed his hand on the boy's knee and slowly moved it up to the inside of his thigh. The boy looked at him with wide eyes and said in a high-pitched voice.

"What are you doing?"

"Making sure you're not a girl."

The boy shivered slightly, probably because Sasuke said that so huskily, and then squeaked when Sasuke's hand grab him through his pants. Before the boy could call for the guards Sasuke captured his lips in a passionate, all consuming kiss. The boy tasted heavenly and was melting against him. When Sasuke pulled out of the kiss to give them both air, he could feel that the boy was half-hard. During this exchange, the ox cart was moved and the palanquin was almost to its destination. Sasuke pulled out of the kiss right as they entered the palace gates.

"What is your name?"

The boy answered him absentmindedly.

"Naruto."

"Na-ru-to."

Again, Naruto shivered at the way Sasuke said his name. But he seemed to snap out of his daze.

"Do you ask every person their name after you kiss them?"

"I don't kiss people. And I could care less what most people's names are unless they're important to me."

"What is your name?"

The palanquin was almost at the steps that led to the entrance of the palace so Sasuke didn't have a lot of time. He leaned in and gave Naruto a slow, fiery kiss that again melted Naruto. And just when Naruto had calmed down.

"My name is Sasuke."

The palanquin was set down. And Naruto was kind of pushed out of it because he was still in a daze. But once the air hit him outside he snapped out of it. He noticed that his veil was back in place too. He looked at the head slave girl and nodded at her. She clapped twice and the men carried the palanquin away. Naruto went up the steps in a daze and whispered to himself.

"Sasuke."
