Chapter 1: The Beginnings

Sasuke woke up in a daze, as afraid as ever. He had no reason, it was just something like every morning, like a deep pain in his heart that burned for something more. He got out of bed, as usual, waiting for the sharp pain in his chest. The blow Naruto put in his chest really hurt, no matter how much he would not admit it.

As he walked down to the kitchen he realized something extremely change. There was a half eaten cup of ramen. He has never eaten ramen here, no matter what. It was completely disgusting.

"Boo!"

Sasuke jumped, half having a heart attack. He whirled around just to see Naruto giggling like the pansy school girl Sasuke knew he was. "What the hell are you doing here?!", Sasuke screamed at him, Naruto still giggling.

"I just wanted to see if you were okay, I am so happy your not crying!", Naruto replied innocently. His hands in his pocket and his eyes clearly looking at Sasuke's shirt.

"What the hell are you staring at you school girl?", looking down as his shirt as he spoke, realizing exactly what that freak was staring at. It was a stain of dry blood. It made no sense whatsoever, he was not bleeding before. Not at all, he told himself quietly.

"Heh, you just have a spot. I sincerely just want you to be okay." Naruto's eyes pleading, obviously sarcastic. This was very uncharacteristic of Naruto, he is not the sarcastic type.

Searching for words, Sasuke monotonously spoke "I am just fine, get out of my house." Meaning it, of course.

Naruto stared back into his eyes. His eyes were getting watery. There was no possible way he would cry over this. Naruto just is too... too.. Well, cocky.

Naruto, clearly hurt just simply said, "Okay, just promise me that you will take care of that, I wouldn't want to cause you any trauma", Naruto back to his normal self.

Dumbfounded was exactly what Sasuke felt. He had no idea what the hell just happened, in the back of his damned mind he was honestly hoping he hadn't hurt Naruto.

"I will be just fine. Please, just show yourself to the door, take that appalling ramen with you. It is starting to smell as bad as you."

"Oh that hurt, Sasuke. Okay I will be on my way, wouldn't want to accidentally hurt you.", Naruto walked out, laughing hysterically. "But please get that-" was all Sasuke heard as Naruto joyfully departed.

Sasuke went back upstairs to change his shirt. He wasn't going to hear the end of this wretched thing.

Chapter 2 - Frightening Words

Ah, the day was so simply delightful. The sun was so bright and vivid, the grass so green and.. Well, green. Yeah fucking right, this day was going to blow and Sasuke knew it.

Sasuke unhappily went outside. Wearing a pair of tacky shades and a shirt, he knew looked completely dreadful. It was white and it had the words "Happy Happy Ramen Inc." on it. This was obviously a paradox. He was NOT happy and he did NOT like ramen. Come to think of it, he had no goddamn clue where hr even got it, all his other shirt were missing, not including that blood-stained piece of blue cloth.

Sasuke knew it would not help, he did kept looking over his shoulder as he walked. The dirt road was so empty except for the usual ten people, and a few merchants. He just felt so paranoid since his stuff started disappearing.

"Hehe!", It was obviously Naruto. Sasuke dramatically choked Naruto evilly. Naruto's damned guts popping out of him. Naruto's blood everywhere.

Snapping him out of his ghastly daydream "Well are you just going to stand there? Turn around", What? This was was not Naruto.

Sasuke whirled himself around, almost losing his balance from the blinding speed. It was Sakura, looking so plain today. That was very.. Strange. She always looked her best. Sasuke shivered at the though of someone hurting her. It was more of a friendly thing though. She was far too weird.

Sasuke stared intently at her bland appearance, hoping she would say something more. He was shot for words.

Sakura stared back at him, her emerald green eyes glowing with some sort of disappointment. He looked for words. "Well.. How are you today, Sakura", he said questioningly. He obviously gave away his knowledge of her appearance.

"I am quite find today Sasuke.", her eyes searching for her own words. " Naruto just mentioned something to me that is depressing me a bit. Please do not trouble yourself with it, you have a match in an hour." Her words shook him slightly. He did not know anything about that. He started away at a building, pretending he knew, of course.

"Well, go ahead and train, Naruto is extremely determined. Don't let him beat you", and that was all. She just winked cutely and walked away into the village.

"I hope I am not missing anything", Sasuke thought out loud to himself. He did not know that he was scheduled for a tournament. He had not even heard of a tournament today.

Sasuke turned himself around and started back towards the training grounds, he obviously needed some intense training. Naruto would not get him again, not this time. That pathetic wimp would not even lay a hand on him.

Chapter 3: Blowing Kisses

Breathing heavily, Sasuke fell to the ground to rest. Such a hard workout. He started into the blue and cloudy sky until he say a puff of smoke.

"SMOKE!!", He screamed loudly, not caring who heard. That meant the tournament starting soon, he could not be late. He had to get to the arena. He had to beat Naruto, to stop the pain in his chest. The pain that loneliness got you, The fucking pain that happenened when you do not get your revenge, the pain that every time he saw a couple kiss it hurt worse.

Sasuke quickly ran. It was not that far off now. He had a little bit of time to think. No, he would not allow thinking. Thinking just got him into a new level of pain. Nobody truly realized how he felt. If he kept it that way he could concentrate on winning and not that fucking agony. It was not even worth it.

When Sasuke finally arrived at the gates of the arena he pushed past the guards. The joked and let him by. They obviously knew what happened. They could rot in hell for it.

As he walked into the arena he saw just 4 other competitors. One, as hoped, was Naruto. The others were Gaara, Sakura, and Rock Lee.

Gaara glared at him menacingly and spoke very unhappily, "Stand here and look pretty for the crowd." He gestured toward a small smoky gray stone he had not noticed previously.

"Aww, you look so cute when your hurt", Naruto said happily. Obviously he was proud of himself. Though his eyes obviously revealed a hint of sadness. Maybe he really was sorry, even doubtful as it was.

Kakashi stepped onto the arena, obviously just a moderator of it. It made no sense why he would be the one doing this. "You three", gesturing towards Naruto, Sakura, and Rock Lee, " Go up and sit down." Although he said this lightly yet, there was an angry edge to his voice.

Naruto smiled at Sasuke as he walked up. It was a very cute smile, Sasuke could not resist to smile back, quickly hiding it again when Gaara walked to the other side of the arena, obviously bored with this. Sasuke walked quietly his own side.

Kakashi stared back and forth. "Okay, you both didn't sign up to be made a fool of. I want to see some pure fighting. This is not to the death, obviously, I will stop it when I feel I know the winner." He slowly walked back up to the seats, clearly taking his time.

Sasuke saw Naruto cutely smiling at him again. Naruto blew a kiss. Strangely Sasuke enjoyed it. It made him feel very safe. He knew he would win. To show Naruto who he really was.
