Chapter 1 "Rain, and Kisses"

The rain was pouring hard and it showed no signs of stopping much to a blond's dismay. "This is all you're fault, teme!" Shouted a frustrated Naruto as he ran for shelter under a big tree. Said 'teme' followed calmly trying to ignore the blond's constant yelling that seemed louder than the thunder that boomed in the sky above them.

Who dropped the scroll in the first place? Sasuke thought to himself angrily as he leaned on the tree making sure he was on the opposite side of the tree- away from the dobe. "And I'm so hungry too!!" yelled Naruto as he dropped down on the damp ground to take a seat. Crossing his arms in front of his chest and cursing out loud enough for Sasuke to hear. Naruto looked up at the sky as the storm started to get stronger. Thankfully the thunder and lighting was not as frequent as he expected it to be.

It was quiet for a while. Neither Sasuke nor Naruto spoke a word. They just calmly listened to the sound the rain made as it landed on the ground they stood on or in Naruto's case... sat on. Well that was until a droplet of rain dropped right on top of Naruto's nose, "Teme!! You're paying for my ramen when we get back to Konoha!!"

Sasuke wanted to bang the blond's head against the tree for being so loud and annoying but instead chose to say, "Shut up, usuratonkachi!". This just made the blond yell a string of curses at him; which made him wonder why Naruto was so violent lately. The blond jumped up and ran over to Sasuke's side grabbing him by the collar and pulling him close to himself so that their faces where only a few centimeters apart. "Teme! Stop calling me that!!" the blond ninja yelled his eyes glazed with fury. Sasuke slapped Naruto's hands away glaring at him just like he always does. "What the fuck is your problem?" Sasuke asked a frown on his lips.

The blond felt anger over take his senses and he launched a punch at Sasuke missing and hitting the tree behind the Uchiha. The latter who had dodged was now behind Naruto. And he was not very happy. "Oi! Dobe, answer my question!" Sasuke snapped resisting the urge to beat up his teammate. The said 'dobe' turned around to try and give Sasuke an upper-cut but he missed making him growl in frustration. "I'm so fucking hungry!! And you keep calling me 'dobe' and 'usuratonkachi'!!" the blond answered and suddenly holding his stomach as it gave out a growl of it's own.

"And that's the reason why you're attacking me, usuratonkachi!?" asked Sasuke his hands turning into fists as he looked at the hungry ninja in front of him. "Then why don't you just go home now in this hell of a storm!" continued Sasuke his glare intensifying. The blond looked at him and frowned, "Fine, teme!" yelled Naruto as he ran the long distance home, "Good bye, asshole!"

Don't blame me if you get sick, dobe.

The day after, Kakashi called Sasuke to meet him in front of Naruto's house. And even if the Uchiha didn't want to go he found himself walking against his will to Naruto's house a few minutes later. The storm was gone now but the streets where still wet because of it.

Every step Sasuke took made the ground squish and sometimes mud would enter his sandals. Whatever Kakashi had to say better be worth the trouble but Sasuke doubted it was. Especially since it included going to that dobe's house.

Don't tell me he got sick, that usuratonkachi!

"Naruto's sick" informed Kakashi when Sasuke arrived in front of Naruto's house- or more likely outside of Naruto's apartment. This information just made Sasuke roll his eyes; it was to be expected. After all Naruto did run for miles in that storm. "So?" Sasuke asked not really seeing the point to the whole thing. Or more likely he was avoiding the scary fact that Kakashi wanted him to take care of that baka.

I am not going to take care of that, dobe

"Sasuke take care of Naruto"

To hell with you!

Sasuke glared at his sensei, "Why can't Sakura do it?" Sasuke asked trying to sound as calm as possible. Kakashi merely smiled; Sasuke couldn't see it but he could sure sense it. Hearing no answer Sasuke muttered a curse crossing his arms over his chest. "That baka could take care of himself!" snapped Sasuke clearly refusing. Kakashi chuckled making Sasuke frown –not that he was not already frowning- "He can't even get out of his bed!" Kakashi chuckled. "And Sakura's on a mission. And I have something I have to do." And with that Kakashi 'poofed' out of sight.

With a heavy sigh, and a few colorful curses, Sasuke knocked heavily on the door opening it as he heard the dobe's voice ask who it was.

And just as soon as he stepped inside a pillow met his face then landed on the floor with a small plop. "What the hell, teme?! I asked who it was! And you just enter!?!" yelled Naruto making Sasuke wonder if he really was sick. Well sure Naruto was still in the bed in his night clothes but that didn't mean he was sick. "Get out!!" yelled Naruto, as he tried to get out of the bed so he can shove Sasuke out. Which he didn't because he couldn't even sit up with out falling back down.

"Believe me Naruto, if I could just leave you: I would." Replied the Uchiha as he picked up the pillow from the ground. "But Kakashi-sensei told me to baby-sit you…" Sasuke smirked as Naruto looked at him with a look of anger but seeing that he could not even sit up just made it look pathetic. Sasuke 'tsked'.

"I don't need to be taken care of!" whined Naruto hiding childishly under the blankets.

The Uchiha made no comment but just tossed the pillow back on the bed making it land on Naruto's stomach. "Dobe, did you eat?" Sasuke asked in a unfriendly tone. Naruto made a small sound which told Sasuke nothing at all.

"Oi, Usuratonkachi…" Sasuke started walking over to Naruto's suddenly silent form, "…are you crying?" Sasuke asked almost gently but not quite. "No." Naruto snapped pulling the cover's up higher over his head. Losing his patience Sasuke ripped the blanket off of Naruto only seeing a small glimpse of Naruto's face until the said blond flipped over pressing his face agains't his pillow.

Why are you crying…?

"Why the hell are you crying, Usuratonkachi?" asked Sasuke coldly sitting down beside Naruto, somewhat curious as to why Naruto was crying. Also afraid of the fact that he could possibly be the reason as to why Naruto was crying. "I said I'm not crying, teme!" retaliated Naruto his voice somewhat muffled by the pillow. His hand making it's way to Sasuke's hip and attempting to push him off. "Get of my bed, bastard!"

But the Uchiha didn't budge at all, "Dobe, fuck! Just answer me!" growled Sasuke grabbing Naruto's wrist and jerking him upwards forcing Naruto to look at him even if it ment he had to pull the Uzumaki by the wrist and leave him dangling by his wrist. Which honestly wasn't very comfortable. Sasuke's eyes widened slightly as tears slid down the blond's cheeks. "Why the hell will you care, teme?! You're not the one in bed! With another ninja around to see how weak he became!" muttered Naruto as he weakly tried to get away from Sasuke's grasp.

Sasuke let go of Naruto watching him drop back unto his bed. "Now leave me alone!" growled Naruto pulling his blankets above his head again. He wished Sasuke would just go away; he just knew Sasuke was laughing at him on the inside. He just couldn't accept the fact that Sasuke was there to witness this…. This weak ninja who couldn't even sit up. And this ninja was him, Uzumaki Naruto.

"What kind of cold did you catch, dobe?" asked Sasuke going into the kitchen to make the 'dobe' a small meal. "Shut up, teme" mumbled Naruto too tired, frustrated and embarrassed to yell.

Sasuke came back a few minutes later with a bowl of Miso Ramen in hand setting it down by the blond's bedside table. "Oi, dobe, eat up." Said Sasuke frowning when he saw Naruto not even moving to make an effort to eat his oh so precious ramen. Sasuke put a knee up the bed and reached for the blond's shoulder, "Don't tell me I have to feed you, Usuraton—" Sasuke stopped as he felt the burning body of the blond. What scared him the most was that Naruto was shivering uncontrollably as well. And in that moment Sasuke panicked. "Dobe!! What the hell is wrong?!" Sasuke asked pulling the blankets away off of the shivering body of the blond ninja. Placing a hand over Naruto's for head Sasuke cursed.

Why didn't you say you where this sick!?, Sasuke asked Naruto in his head rushing to the kitchen to get a bowl of hot water and a small towel.

Returning a few moments after Sasuke quickly soaked the towel in the bowl and ringed it tightly before placing it gently on the blond's for head. Sasuke was worried for the blond which surprised him a bit. Sure he liked Naruto before but he forced those feelings out of him a long time ago because he knew Naruto was a straight person. Well as far as he knew.

A hand came to cup Naruto's cheek and Sasuke could feel the burning skin that just made him feel more nervous. Sasuke felt like it was all his fault. Naruto wouldn't have gotten sick if he hadn't told him to leave yesterday. Sasuke pulled up a chair so he could sit beside Naruto crossing his arms out in front of him as he leaned forward to rest on the bed.

"Naruto's going to die" whispered a voice, Sasuke looked around to find himself no longer in Naruto's apartment room but in the middle of darkness a spotlight that seemed to come out from no where was focused on him. "And guess what, Sasuke, you're going to help me kill him!" said the voice triumphantly snickering.

Sasuke stood up from the chair as it faded away. "Who are you!?" Sasuke demanded looking directly in front of him. He could make out the form of something big. And an overwhelming amount of charka was leaking out of it. "I'm Kyuubi… and I just wanted to thank you in advance." The voice answered moving deeper into the darkness so that Sasuke couldn't see it's form anymore.

"Thank me for what?!"

Kyuubi snickered, "For helping me kill Naruto of course!" said the voice happily but it was laced with malice. Sasuke growled, "That's a damn lie! He's still alive!!" yelled Sasuke doing the seals for the chidori and running toward Kyuubi. As he ran closer the light coming from the chidori allowed him to see the faint form of something he couldn't quite see clearly even with the light provided by his chidori technique. It just snickered as he got closer.

And when he finally landed the hit on that thing the darkness was lifted and everything was in white. He could see what he had hit clearly now. "N-Naruto?!" Sasuke asked in disbelief as he saw the bloody form of Naruto agains't his hand then falling prostrate on the ground before him.

"See you helped me kill Naruto, you killed Naruto! Naruto's dead! Naruto's dead!"

He didn't know how long but when he woke up he found Naruto sitting up beside him eating the ramen he had prepared him even if it was already cold. "Naruto?" Sasuke asked as he sat back up looking at Naruto finish his bowl of ramen quickly.

The blond's eyes widened when he heard Sasuke call him by his name. "What?" Naruto asked coldly placing the bowl back on the table and looking at Sasuke. But before Sasuke could even answer Naruto looked away sadly, "If you're just going to make fun of me, teme, just get the hell out of here! I told you I don't need—" Naruto stopped talking as Sasuke launched at him pushing him back down against the bed giving him a close-mouthed kiss.

This left Naruto dizzy and he struggled to get Sasuke away from him, "t-teme! What the fuck!?" he yelled as Sasuke parted from him and he sat up immediately. He looked into the Uchiha's eyes. He wasn't glaring at him. He actually looked worried and was about to cry. The Uzumaki moved his head back wards and hit the bed's head board when Sasuke tried to lean in for another kiss. "Stop…teme…" mumbled Naruto in a tone that seemed some what gentle; bringing a hand up and putting his fingers on Sasuke's lips preventing Sasuke from kissing him again. "You'll get sick…" the blond added looking away a small blush making it's way to his cheeks. As Sasuke's lips pushed gently agains't Naruto's hand.

Sasuke looked at Naruto in disbelief. He's not disgusted? The black haired ninja grabbed Naruto's wrist taking his hand away. "Naruto, I…" Sasuke began but he couldn't get the words out. Instead he pressed his lips against Naruto's again his lips licking at Naruto's. He was expecting to be pushed away again but instead Naruto just looked at him in shock and his face was all red. The Uchiha ninja pulled away letting Naruto take a deep breath. "I don't understand, Sasuke…." Naruto whispered looking at Sasuke with confused eyes. Sasuke only pulled Naruto in a hug making the blond even more confused. But Naruto didn't struggle.

"I love you, Naruto"
