Uwaaahhh! How long has it been since I wrote pure instinct. Almost two years. ha ha ha -nervous laugh- This makes me feel pretty useless as a writer but I have decided to complete this now! Yes yes. With the help of my amazing beta HeartSNS I would be surely able to complete this story.
This story isn't something extraordinary but I enjoyed it while I wrote it and I enjoy whenever I read it. Beside maybe since it was my first ever story I wrote here, I have a weird attachment to it.
But enough blabbering hahaha. Here is the edited version of this story. I hope you have lots of fun and support me.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto anime/Manga. I do own this story idea so do not use it or try to copy my story.

"Onii-san,onii-san, wake up!" Kyuubi tried to wake up Naruto from his deep slumber even though she was practically yelling in his ear, Naruto was like an inert object having no effect at all.

"Onii-san if you don't wake up in the next five minutes I am going to open my spider jar and I am sure you won't like it very much!" When this threat had no effect on Naruto at all, she lowered her voice and pinched his arm, knowing that this would most likely wake him up.

Naruto woke up and started yelling. "No! Don't! I'm wide awake so just go back you dorm room Kyuubi! And why the hell are you waking me up!? Didn't I tell you to not wake me up I can do this by myself!" Naruto was furious.

He knew he was not a morning person, but damn! This does not mean that his evil little sister could do whatever she wanted! OH gosh! He couldn't forget the creepy feeling of those spiders from last week.

He glared at her, "You are completely off limits to my room!"

"Heh. But why onii-sama?" she whined innocently. "I was being a good girl for waking up my lazy sleepy head brother who is bound to sleep the whole day if I don't wake him up!" At the end of the sentence innocence was replaced with her usual arrogance.

Naruto gritted his teeth. She was such a rude brat.

"You don't have to wake me up. I'll tell Sakura to come and wake me up. You are completely crazy, so just get the hell out of here." He was now glaring at her.

Kyuubi really was his sister so she ignored the whole insult completely.

"Listen big bro, I don't have time for this chit chat. What you and your pink head girlfriend do is your business and I would be more than happy if I didn't have to wake up you every morning!" Throwing a tantrum was Kyuubi's favorite pastime."Now stop with your whining and get dressed. You don't have enough time left brother. It took so long to wake you, now you only have 30 minutes left." It seemed like Kyuubi was tired of making fun, "I'm going on ahead, don't be late onii-sama!" As she turned to leave, she stuck her tongue out.

"Oh shit! I am going to be late! Damn insolent little sister! What did I do to deserve a sister like her?" He cursed her but quickly got brushed his teeth,took a quick shower, slipped on his uniform and rushed to the dining table where his breakfast was served already. Oh God how he really loved this part of the morning when he get to eat such a tasty breakfast.

"Morning mom!" He went to Kushina who was rinsing dishes. "Hey sweetie," she smiled as he gave her a chaste kiss on her cheek and and then returned to his seat to have breakfast.

"Where is Kyuu?" he asked while eating his steamed rice and natto.

"She left early. She said her tennis practice was starting this morning," Kushina answered while packing naruto's bento.

"Hmm," he said while finishing his kobachi.

"Oh mom I really love your cooking," he complimented her while devouring his breakfast. Kushina could not help but smile.

"Thank you dear, do you have any request for dinner? Your father is returning home so I was thinking of making something Italian. Your father loves Italian food."

Naruto grinned. "Heh, you are right! He really does love it."

"Then what do you suggest? I was thinking of making tortellini and pork marsala or should I make tilapia?" She asked him. Naruto's eyes twinkled.

"Mom, why don't you make that shrimp scampi? Dad loved it last time and can you please make castella with it too please mom? Pleaseeeeee?"

"Hehe! Alright, alright. Stop saying please! I will make castella as well and you are right, your father really loved scampi."

His mom passed him his bento and he took it. "hanks mom! Got to go now!" He smiled, and quickly placed another chaste kiss on his mother's cheek.

"Have a safe day sweetie."

"You too mom!" he said as he smiled and left.

When he reached at the corner of his street he saw his girlfriend and childhood friends waiting for him there.

"Morning guys, morning Sakura" he beamed.

His friends said there greetings and Sakura placed her arm around Naruto's arm. "Hey," she smiled sweetly.

"Hey!" While walking Naruto leaned over and placed a quick peck on Sakura's cheek. She flushed a little.

"Gross, would you guys please stop being so lovey dovey this early in morning, it's making me sick." Kiba was annoyed.

"If Ino rejected you and you are feeling miserable then it's not our fault. So stop being such a loser," Sakura commented on Kiba's unusual annoyance. She never had a good relation with Kiba, he was too stupid.

"What? It has nothing to with that and Naruto you traitor. Why did you have to tell this gossip machine? Now she is going to relate everything to my rejection!" Kiba was really angry and glared at Sakura.

"He doesn't have to! You are forgetting Ino is my friend! I was feeling bad for you, but I think she really made the right choice! She doesn't deserve an idiot like you!" Sakura lashed out.

Kiba huffed, "why you…"

"K-Kiba-kun,S-Sakura-san p-please don't fight!" Hinata tried to resolve the matter.

Naruto eyed his friends. Kiba and Sakura were fighting as per usual, then Hinata was trying to cool down Kiba and Sakura like always, thus everything seemed so usual yet something felt unusual to Naruto.. He had a feeling that something was going to happen; something which may change their lives it was an unsettling feeling.

He sighed. Kiba and Sakura stopped fighting for a second.

"Naruto you ok?" Kiba asked sounding concerned. Hinata and Sakura seemed to be worrying too.

Naruto was startled at sudden question but hid it and let out an exaggerated sigh. "How can I be ok when every time my girlfriend meets my best friend they always fight? I am such an unlucky man." Naruto said in an over dramatic way. "Hinata-chan please comfort my broken heart." He leaned on Hinata in a flirting manner.

Hinata flushed bright crimson, "N-Naruto-kun…"

"Narutooooooo..." Sakura was now enraged. "I am going to kill you!" She tried to smack her bag on Naruto's arm but he was already used to it so he sidestepped in a fluid movement.

"No Sakura-chan~ not this time!" He sprinted toward the road.

Sakura flushed. "I won't let you run away!" she called out as she dashed after him.

"Oh man! Not again!" Kiba dashed behind them. "Idiots!" He barked loudly.

Hinata sighed."S-why do they have to run? I-it's dangerous." But she too tried to catch up with her friends.

Naruto was laughing loudly and running at full speed. Sakura was behind him and cursing him to stop right away or she will kill him.

When he reached the road side he stopped running. A signal was red and he waited there for the others to catch up. He was a little out of breath but other than that he was fine. He wasn't even sweating when Sakura and others caught up, panting and catching their breath.

"Hahaha... it feels like I am the only blissful youth of our group! You guys have no stamina! Seriously! Panting like puppies! You should practice under Lee sensei!" He was grinning goofily.

Sakura punched him on arm. "Idiot who are you calling puppies!? If you can run like bolt, then no normal person can catch up to you. And thank you so much but you can have Lee sensei all to yourself."

"She is right Naruto! If you keep running so much everyday, you will give me a heart attack cause I can't keep up with you. You are way to fast." Kiba was sweating like crazy and panting hard. Sakura was also still glaring.

Hinata was not out of breath too much, she was also in track and field like Naruto and had pretty good stamina. Before he could say something to his defense, Hinata spoke. "K-Kiba-kun, S-Sakura-san tissue..." She was holding tissues out for both.

Naruto could not hold his laughter and never sensing someone's gaze at him.

The group continued to chit chat and joke to each other as they resumed their way to school. Naruto felt better as he thought about how these idiots were his life and always make him feel good. He smiled fondly as he recalled Kiba and Sakura's little spat. He frowned though when he thought again about his feelings of uneasiness.

Hinata noticed the look Naruto was giving while they continued to head to school. When they reached school grounds she could not hold in any more.

"N-Naruto-kun i-if you have something on your mind you can share with me." Hinata's tone was serious.

He glanced at her and shook his head. "I am fine, really Hinata-chan. I was just feeling a little upset for some unknown reason. And when I say unknown, I literally don't know why I was feeling like that." When he felt Hinata was going to ask the reason he quickly corrected his sentence. "But yeah, I am fine now. That run really made me feel good and all that chit chat. Really, I'm good now. Don't worry about me."

Hinata smiled sweetly. "I-if you say so Naruto-kun."

"What are you two talking about?" Sakura tilted her head back a little before leaving again. "Hurry up or you are going to be late."

"Sakura-chan wait a bit geez," he said loudly and twirled to Hinata. "Let's go, shall we?" he said in a flirtatious manner. Hinata giggled and nodded and together they headed inside the building.

After putting their backpacks into their lockers and grabbing text books and note books, they made their way to class. Kiba was annoyed and his sarcasm was at his peak. Naruto was having fun with Kiba and Sakura's exchange as they settled to their usual seats, Kiba behind him, Sakura at his left and Hinata in the front.

Kiba was not shutting up on telling how Naruto could never understand the pain of rejection.

"You had your way with Sakura so easily and every girl in the class leers at you! You can have any girl even if Sakura leaves you! You don't know how much I am suffering!" Kiba whined. Naruto sighed. It was kind of becoming a routine for them after every two or three months. Kiba would ask Ino out,she would plainly say no and then Kiba would have this self-pity episodes for 2-3 days.

"Kiba, you sound like I have a harem." Naruto was pretty annoyed. He knew Sakura did not like Kiba's statement as she was frowning. "In my 17 years of life, Sakura is the only girl I have dated so far and it's not as if it was so easy to ask her out. I proved myself worthy of her." His friend was now biting his lips. He realized he'd gone too far in his tantrum. Naruto narrowed his eyes, Sakura was irritated too.

"Cheer up now! Will you!" Hinata felt the atmosphere becoming cold so she clasped her hands to get attention. "Why don't we all work on it t-together?" Her friends watched her curiously.

"You mean to help Kiba so Ino falls in love with him?"

On Naruto's question she nodded.

"Well, we can work on it," Sakura gave her approval to with a smile.

Naruto chuckled, 'Oh god these girls and their matchmakings.'

Kiba was touched that he broke into a goofy grin. "What would I do without you guys?"

Naruto was going to say something but at this moment Iruka came into class. After his greetings, he announced in his polite tone.

"As I have told you already, from now on a new student is going to join us. I am expecting a warm welcome." The class went to complete silence. "Come in now." The door opened and everyone turned their attention to the door, including Naruto and his bunch.

The boy standing there had a strange air of aloofness. Girls eyes were instantly glued to him. Even Naruto was amazed at those handsome features: ebony black hair with natural blue tints, a bit strange hair style which suited him well, onyx eyes with the hint of intelligence, pale skin and a nice build. He was already wearing the school's formal attire and it looked really good on him too. Naruto could not even blink his eyes for some time as the new boy made his way down the aisle to the front of the class, never acknowledging the gleeful voices his classmates made.

Iruka smiled warmly, "It's nice to have you here with us finally. Please introduce yourself to the class." Upon Iruka's approval the boy faced them and he eyed the crowd for a moment. Naruto felt that when boy looked his way there was a familiar spark like he knew him but it didn't last longer than mere seconds before he shifted his gaze.

"I am Sasuke Uchiha. I have transferred from Funabashi Asahi high school I hope to have your assistance. Please take care of me."

Naruto felt strange. It wasn't that Sasuke was rude, he was polite, but there was dryness in his tone. Girls were whispering about how hot he looked while speaking and Naruto smirked. Really, girls are pretty strange creatures.

Iruka cleared his throat to silence the class. "Now that introductions is complete, Naruto will show you around the school." Their eyes met for a brief moment, as Iruka continued, "he may not look like it, but he is class rep and girl beside him is in student council. So if you have any problems you can count on them. They all are good kids."

Sasuke nodded quietly.

"Now you can have the open seat beside ?. If you don't have the class text book yet, you can share it with the girl sitting next to you." Sasuke took the open seat, the girl sitting beside flushed crimson.

"I have my text books," he replied monotonically. The girl had a dejected look.

"That's quite efficient of you to have it on your very first day," Iruka appreciated him and then proceeded. "Everyone open page 22…"

Class proceeded without any distraction. Iruka was not a strict teacher but he had some rules and no one wanted to mess with him, because he could become very difficult to handle then.

Period before lunchtime was free because of Jiraiya sensei's absence. "Ok guys I am going to give that guy a tour. I'll meet you at cafeteria with him."

Sakura narrowed her eyes. "Why? With him I don't think it's necessary."

Naruto shook his head. "I know Sakura but he is new and it will be sort of rude of us you know I mean I'm class rep and you are from student council. What will he think of us?"

"Naruto is right Sakura. it won't hurt to have one additional person at our table." On Kiba's statement Sakura frowned.

"Whatever. I don't think he'd like to hang out with us though, I have some errands to do in student council so I'll take my leave." And just like that she left.

'Having a girlfriend is pretty tough.'

Kiba placed his hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry. She will be fine by lunch time. Go and give him a tour. He looks as if he's having a tough time there." Kiba pointed to where Sasuke was crowded by girls. Sasuke looked irritated. Naruto was amused by his expressions.

"Yes N-Naruto-kun leave Sakura-san to us," said Hinata.

He smiled at them and nodded. He stopped at Sasuke's desk and cheerfully asked, "Hey what's going on?"

A girl giggled and clung to Naruto's side. "We were just welcoming him."

Sasuke growled and holding in his laughter was becoming very hard for Naruto. He has to rescue this poor boy. "Oh, well I'm sorry for interrupting but I have to show him around the school. So if you will please excuse us." His azure eyes were shining mischiefly. Sasuke wasn't even looking at him. "Sasuke, you ready?" Sasuke got up from his seat. It seemed he was more than ready and without even a word, he left the class with him.

Sasuke was too silent. Naruto decided to start a conversation. "Umm so Sasuke, if you don't remember I will introduce myself one more time before starting the tour." He turned to him and grinned. "I am Naruto Uzumaki, at your service. I'll be your tour guide for today."

"Thanks for introduction but I think it is unnecessary," he responded dryly.

Naruto glanced at him. "And why is that?"

"Because of your healthy morning exercise," he replied curtly.

Naruto blinked his eyes for a second, stared at him and then burst out laughing. "Oh man you are so funny! So you saw me and my bunch this morning! Hmm that's why I felt it." Naruto seemed thoughtful. Sasuke raised his eyebrow questioningly silently asking 'felt what?'

Naruto scratched the back of his head. "Err never mind so let's go to the locker room first." Sasuke quietly followed him.

He showed him the gym, clubs and student council office. Sasuke greeted everyone kindly. Sakura was in a better mood too so Naruto felt relieved. When Naruto was nearing the end of the tour, he thought about how Sasuke was very quiet at first but was now responding more often. When Naruto would ask him questions, he would reply politely and converse with Naruto. Naruto began to think that, sure Sasuke came off as unfriendly in the beginning, but perhaps he was just nervous being as it was his first day. Naruto smiled at this.

"Eh! Who am I seeing with our little fox boy? On a walk with some new kid?"

Naruto snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the boy standing in front of him. "Hyuga," Naruto called his name in sharp tone. "What do you want?" There was flatness in his tone. Naruto was trying to calm himself. He didn't wanted to create a scene in front of Sasuke, especially on his first day.

The other boy smirked heinously. "Want? I was just greeting you. Why you have to be so stiff about it?"

Sasuke was silently observing them. 'I don't have anything to do with this,' he thought dryly.

The Hyuga boy looked at him with calculating eyes. Sasuke had a feeling like he had seen this person before. "Hmm, I have to say Naruto, you have such fine tastes even though I am surprised that this time your pray is a boy. Strange you didn't tell me that you have started to date boys too. Poor Sakura."

Naruto couldn't hold any longer. His face flushed red, he was enraged. "You bastard how dare you!"

Before he could punch the other boy, Sasuke reflexively stopped his punch in a feline grace and caught his fist. "Uchiha, don't stop me, move away." Naruto's tongue lashed out, anger rising in his voice.

"Yeah yeah! Get away from him. I want to see what our little fox can do."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes. There was no mistake that Hyuga guy was doing this on purpose and he had quite a dirty mouth too.

"You scumbag..." Naruto was becoming more and more angry with every passing second. The thick air of animosity gowing tense was enough to make Sasuke realize that this wasn't a simple verbal fight. Students were beginning to gather. Sasuke sighed. He tried to calm Naruto but when Naruto tried to take a swing at Hyuga, Sasuke was forced to use wrist lock on Naruto.

"What the fuck Sasuke! You bastard! It hurts! Lemme go!"

Sasuke hardened his grip. "Snap out of it! Will you? He is doing this on purpose can't you see?" Sasuke's tone was sharp and low, almost a whisper.

Hyuga was smirking, Naruto's blood boiled but he tried to calm himself. "Let go of me Sasuke." His voice was cold he looked at him warningly and then Sasuke released his grip.

Sasuke turned to the other boy and gave him killing glares. He straightened his shoulders and turned to the students that were gathered around. He gave them a death glare too and people started to leave. Naruto was still, not looking at him and not saying a single word. He hesitantly put his hand on his shoulder. "You ok?"

Naruto lifted his gaze. "Yeah I'm fine," his voice was low.

"Want to talk about it?" Sasuke offered generously. He was not interested in this fight or about that boy, but he felt an urge to know the reason behind Naruto's aggressive behavior. He glanced at him. There was so much more to this boy than it actually looked. From laughing, easy going, class rep, funny and then aggressive & violent. He felt curious for the first time in his life.

Naruto shook his head. "It's nothing important, let's go to cafeteria it's almost lunch time."

Sasuke looked at him. He wanted Naruto to talk but he didn't wanted to pry into the matter so he kept quiet and followed him to cafeteria.

His friends were sitting at the usual spot they waved at him and Sasuke; he smiled too and waved at them. When they reached the table every one greeted them. "Guys this is Sasuke Uchiha as you may know already but I think Ino didn't, so this was for her." Naruto smiled towards the blond girl of the group.

The said blonde girl smiled warmly. "Even though Sakura already told me but anyway thanks."

Naruto scratched behind his head and huffed.

Sasuke rolled his eyes, 'this guy really loves introductions'.

"Fine then. You guys give your introduction by yourself." Naruto took his usual spot. He was flushed with embarrassment and everyone laughed. Sasuke smirked too but hid it quickly.

Kiba started first. "I'm Kiba. Kiba Inuzuka, nice to meet ya."

Pink haired girl looked at him arrogantly and said in stiffed tone, "Sakura Haruno, I'm student council vice president."

Next was blonde girl, she smiled warmly. "Student council president Ino Yamanaka. Even though I am president,it's only thanks to a certain idiot and his insecure girlfriend. By the way it's a pleasure to meet you." Naruto and Sakura both glared at her.

Next girl was fidgeting. "H-Hinata H-Hyuga. N-nice meeting you U-Uchiha-san."

'Hyuga,' Sasuke repeated under his breath, a bell rang and there was no doubt, this girl she looked so much like that boy and also the name. 'Are they related?' he thought to himself.

Kiba noticed it. "Hey you know her already."

Before Sasuke could say a single word Naruto interrupted. "Yeah in our way we were talking about drama club last year play when she gave that strange story and how much it was difficult was for all of us to stick to that story even though afterwards it was a huge success."

Sakura's expressions softened. "Yeah she really has strange taste always writing gay stories." Hinata flushed bright red Sasuke was dumfounded. 'This shy girl writes gay stories this really was a strange bunch.'

"I am so hungry, damn," Naruto whined.

Sasuke stared at him. 'He was strange'.

"You didn't bring your lunch? That's strange."

Upon Sakura's question, Naruto shook his head. "I brought it but it's in classroom."

"N-Naruto-kun you can share with me if you want," Hinata offered.

"Sheesh Hinata. Don't spoil him too much and you," Ino then pointed to Naruto, "stop with your puppy eyes." Ino stopped Hinata and scolded Naruto. Sakura was eyeing him with mercy. "Go get your lunch and stop being too lazy."

"You are being too hard on my brother INO-SAN, don't you think?" Everyone was startled at the new sound.

Sasuke looked about. 'Now who else is left?' Sasuke groaned under his breath.

"Ah Kyu-chan." Everyone's expression changed. There stood a girl with orange hairs and twin ponytails with eyes matching Naruto's. Blue and so much blue!

"I'm going to get something. Umm... Naruto, Sasuke, you want something?" Kiba stood to leave.

"I have brought brother's lunch Kiba-san, but thanks for your concern." The girl smiled coldly and gave Naruto his lunch box. Kiba left hurriedly.

Others started to eat. Naruto opened his box and asked curtly, "Why are you here and why do you have my lunch and where's Temari and TenTen?"

Kyuubi chuckled. "I was in your class, looking for your calculator. I forgot to bring mine and then I saw your lunch box, so I thought I would bring it to you. Am I not a good girl oni-sama?"

There was something about Kyuubi that had Sasuke feeling a little of a 'Brother complex'. He shifted his gaze to the outside. Others were aware too but no one was saying anything. Maybe it was because they were used to it.

"Who is he? You have a new friend in the first week of New Year and didn't even tell me?" Her way of asking was not of a little sister, but demanding and rude.

"I'm not obliged to tell you anything. Mind your own damn business," Naruto bit out struggling to maintain normal volume. He obviously didn't appreciate her way of talking.

Ino cleared her throat. "Kyu-chan, he is Sasuke, a new student. He just transferred here today so we are giving him company."

Kyuubi nodded and smiled. "Thanks but I didn't ask you Ino-san."

"Kyuubi apologize now!" Naruto demanded darkly.

Ino tilted her head and said softly, "It's fine Naruto I don't mind."

Kyuubi was biting her lips, "I am sorry." Her voice was monotonic. She shifted her gaze to Sasuke who was rather quiet. He was new, so it was better for him to just stay quiet. "And Uchiha-san, I hope you won't cause troubles for my brother."

Sasuke was annoyed. He tried to make his voice even and not sharp. "What I do is none of your concern." He then looked the other way ignoring the girl completely. Anger was rising in his own veins.

"Leave, now," Naruto only said two words. Anger flaring on his face and voice low, she looked taken aback and turned to leave. The atmosphere was tense and heavy, everyone was quiet.

Kiba came back and took his seat. "So Kitty left," he asked jokingly but no one was in the mood.

"Very funny Kiba." Sakura narrowed her eyes as she was poking at her food.

Naruto exhaled and then smiled at Sasuke. "I'm sorry for her. She is not a bad girl, just over protective in a way... umm, but leave it aside, you can share lunch with me."

Sasuke exhaled, "thanks Naruto but I will go buy my lunch."

Naruto's jaw clenched. "Is it because of my sisters behaviour?" His blue eyes were trembling in fury but voice calm.

Sasuke felt strange. It was fascinating to see those blue eyes trembling in fury. "It's not that. You could say, I don't share well." Sasuke shrugged his shoulders.

"I think, you should consider his offer," said Ino while chewing her food.

"No. I..." He shook his head in disagreement. After the earlier session, he couldn't lie to himself that his mood was rather sour. Naruto was drawing patterns on table. 'So childish,' Sasuke thought to himself.

"Lunch time will be over in 15 min." Kiba scratched his head. "All good items are sold I bet. So just accept the poor boys offer. Before he starts to brawl."

"Don't talk about him like that." Sakura stated, who up until now was rather quiet after the earlier introduction and punched Kiba in arm. Her gaze shifted toward Sasuke and then again dropped at her food. "Naruto can share with me. And you can eat his lunch. I think this won't hurt your pride." Sakura finished her sentence icily.

Sasuke grimaced at her crudeness.

"Sakura-chan," Naruto whined at the meanness of her style. She raised her eyebrow, like asking 'what?'.

Sasuke exhaled. Naruto was making his puppy eyes, it annoyed him. He helped himself to an onigiri. Naruto's grin was oblivious. Grinning from ear to ear like an idiot. Sasuke frowned but kept eating.

When Naruto kept staring and not eating, he asked him to join monotonically. That idiot grinned again and started to savor the food. When bell rang he thanked them and stood up to leave for class but Naruto suddenly tugged at his sleeve. It surprised Sasuke.

It was quite obvious, this idiot didn't know the meaning of personal space. He raised his eyebrow.

"Umm, after this we have free period. You know I told you about Jiraya sensei. He is also PE in charge so we will be free. So you wanna walk home together and we can have a small tour?"

He freed his arm from Naruto. "I appreciate it but I have to go home early. I have other things to do."

Sakura gritted her teeth. Before she could have said something, Ino took her hand and dragged her away. "Okay Naruto, we have something to do in student council, so you guys go ahead k." Sakura was cursing at her while being dragged away.

"Umm N-Naruto-Kun, I will also take my leave. I have to copy some notes, see you in class." It was second time during his presence that girl has talked. Her stuttering annoyed him.

Kiba was facing other way not looking at them. Naruto cleared his throat, "I wanted to ensure you had a good time today but umm… I'm sorry." Naruto suddenly bowed.

It surprised Sasuke. There was sincerity in boy's tone. 'Why does he even care about me. Why does it is bothering him so much.' He sighed, "You gave a good tour. I'm thankful."

Naruto's lips curled. His azure eyes saddening, "Sorry."

There was so much pain in his voice that it startled Sasuke. Before Naruto could move away he grabbed Naruto's wrist. It was on impulse; Naruto looked surprised and Kiba only narrowed his eyes. He may be a bigger idiot but he knew when he should stay quiet. "I am not angry. Your sister's attitude made me a little mad but it's okay now. I'm not a child and to hold grudges is not in my nature." He stopped. Naruto's eyes were shining. Blue could be such an enchanting color. He never knew. He tried to compose himself, " Weekdays I don't have a lot of free time and I have visited the area many times, so I know the area well. If..." he stopped and let go of Naruto's wrist.

"If?" Naruto was impatient.

"If you want to hang out we can do something on Sunday. I don't mind," he said and left Naruto dumbfounded. He didn't know why his chest felt tight.

Kiba patted his shoulder. "Let's go." Naruto beamed. "Yeah! Lets go. Hehehe. Sasuke is so nice." Kiba smiled too and ruffled Naruto's hair. "Yeah he is no doubt."

Sasuke was dazed until he took his seat. 'Why did I do that? He was so annoying, right? And I wanted him to shut up. Yeah exactly. There is no other reason. Why I'm so flustered? Ugghhh! Stupid blonde! He tried to occupy himself with class and was successful in his attempt.

After class Naruto was waiting for him outside. Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

"Uh I wanted to say thanks." Naruto scratched behind his head.

"For what?" Sasuke locked his hand on his chest.

"For saying those things this afternoon." Naruto was fidgeting.

"I said because I wanted to." Sasuke looked away.

Naruto smiled, "You really are a good person."

Sasuke raised his eyebrow.

"Umm, so we will meet tomorrow. Take care."

"Hn." Sasuke gave a one word answer and looked away.

Naruto chewed his lower lip and then took off.

When he reached the school door he saw Naruto with his bunch. Sakura was clinging to him. Ino and Hinata were also laughing. Kiba was sulking. Sasuke exhaled. He didn't have time for friendships and stuff. He started walking towards the train station.

Later that night….

"I love castella." Naruto was savoring his food happily.

"You look happy. Something good happened today hmmm?" Minato smiled at his son.

Naruto beamed and nodded. "Yeah I met someone new today." His eyes twinkling.

'Sasuke Uchiha, I am determined to make you my friend now.' He laughed merrily while talking to his family.

Huff…

Naruto: what this is the end? I didn't even talk to him properly.

Sasuke : she is inconsiderate.

Me: be patient.
