AN: Ok… this is sort of an apology to those who read my first 'random'. I realized how horrible it was and deleted. Hopefully this is better. It's only about 400 words though. There's also an explanation for this whole thing in my profile. Also, thanks to fallen, my savior! Without her my story would sound stupid! Sankyuu!

Karate Kid
By Emerald Rain
"What are you doing, dobe?"
Sasuke had walked into the amusing scene of his teammate making a fool out of himself. In Naruto's mind, of course, he was by no means making a fool of himself -- he was becoming a master of the martial arts. He was, in essence, trying take out a fly with a pair of chopsticks. The sight of Naruto concentrating with all his might and the snapping of chopsticks through the air had prompted Sasuke's question.
"Shut up, Sasuke-teme! Can't you see I'm trying to concentrate?" Here Sasuke snorted. Naruto ignored him. "Haven't you ever watched Karate Kid? You're only a true martial artist if you can catch a fly out of the air with a pair of chopsticks!" Naruto exclaimed enthusiastically.
Sasuke's expression turned incredulous. "You actually believe that?"
Naruto scowled at his teammate's disbelief. "Of course I do! Have you NOT watched Karate Kid? That kid kicked ass!"
Sasuke sighed and snatched the pair of chopsticks out of Naruto's outstretched hands. He watched the fly for two seconds, ignoring Naruto's indignant screech, and then in one fluid movement caught the fly between the two sticks. Sasuke's amused smirk and Naruto's shocked expression could be seen a mile away.
"Well, I guess that movie does have its merits." Sasuke's amusement shook Naruto out of his state of shock. He growled and made to look startlingly like Kiba.
"Bastard! Leave me alone!" Naruto huffed, crossing his arms and turning away from the smirking teen before him. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at Naruto's pettiness. Then a smirk crossed Sasuke's face. If Naruto had seen how Sasuke had smirked, he would have ran for the hills screaming like a girl and been proud of it. Unfortunately for the loud blond, he didn't.
With the smirk still on his face, Sasuke reached over Naruto's shoulder and gently took his hand. Slowly, he slipped the chopsticks back into Naruto's palm. He did not, however, retrieve his lingering limb. It was left hovering over Naruto's, both ever so slightly brushing against each other. His head came dangerously close to Naruto's right ear.
"Come on, dobe," Sasuke breathed out. "Don't be mad. I'll teach you how to do it."
Naruto shivered when he felt Sasuke's breath on his neck. He jumped when Sasuke snaked his other arm around his waist but didn't pull away.
"B-bastard..." Naruto stuttered out nervously. His words were harsh, but no more protests came from him.
