Hey there, E.L.Y here. Welcome to my first ever Fanfic! :D I've recently been craving NaruSasu more then SasuNaru, probably cause I've read like 10x more SasuNaru FanFics then NaruSasu xD So I decided to go ahead and make my first ever FanFic a NaruSasu one! :D Just a few things to note before we get into this, I'm making up the Story line as I type. So no planning. The only things I've planned is specific scenes and moments I want to happen, the build up to those scenes and the setting etc are made up as I go along. I'm hoping I can keep this story going for long, hopefully for at least 10k+ words before I get lazy or run out of ideas xD. Also I wanted to make Sasuke a little cuter and nicer than usual in this, rather than his usual emotionless attitude :P Tell me what you think of it! Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters, I simply write these stories for Yaoi craving fanatics such as myself. ^^ With that being said, thank you for reading. Now let's get on with it!

Chapter 1: The Bet

Under the cream white material of a decent sized blanket came a low groan. A sun kissed arm reached out from under the covers and very slowly pulled the blanket from over his head down so his face was exposed from the material. The boy leaned his body up so his back was off the bed. The Blonde gave a loud unexpected yawn and raised a tanned hand to rub his still dazed and tired eyes. He slowly opened his eyes, revealing an ocean blue set of eyes that fit perfectly with the boy's luscious blonde hair. Yeah this was Uzumaki Naruto. Konoha's #1 Hyperactive Knucklehead Ninja... Not so much in early in the mornings though.

Naruto lazily swung his legs to the side of his bed and got up, giving a wide stretch of his arms and legs while another yawn escaped the Blonde's lips. The boy slowly and tiredly made his way to the bathroom to wake himself up a little more. When inside he made his way to the sink, he turned on the cold water tap and put his two his two hands together to form a round shape. A few splashes of water on his face later he dried his face off with a towel that was located right by the sink. He placed the towel back down and looked up at the mirror.

Naruto ran a hand through his naturally spiky blonde hair and gave a small smile to himself before turning around and walking out the bathroom. He made his way over to the bedside table and reached down to pick up the smooth fabric material that was his Konohagakure headband. He raised his hand and lightly tied it around his forehead, making sure it was properly tied up before letting his hands fall back to his side.

Naruto gave one last look around his room to make sure he didn't forget anything, not seeing anything in particular the Blonde walked out into the hallway of his apartment and over to the door. He placed his hand on the handle and gave a light pull before stepping outside onto the cold concrete flooring. He shut the door and began walking down the building to the first flight of stairs.

Naruto lived in a fairly sized apartment, not too big, not too small, on a three story flat. He didn't mind for the most part, he loved taking advantage of the roof that was just a stairway above his apartment, he'll often go there and think about stuff while having a magnificent view of a large portion of Konoha. He felt quiet lucky to have the privilege to be able to go to such a spot whenever he liked to be honest.

When the Blonde eventually made it down the 3 sets of stairs he began to casually walk down the path leading to the main part of Konoha's often busy streets. Naruto placed his hands into his pockets and kept a steady walking pace. He was on his way to meet the rest of his squad that consisted of himself and 3 other people. Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke and Hatake Kakashi. Otherwise known as team 7.

Haruno Sakura has short pink hair with unusually but unique green eyes. She was a close friend to Naruto and Naruto was a close friend to her, nothing more. Hatake Kakashi is the three Genin's Sensei. He has a nice whitish/silver spiked up hair that leans to the left, he has his headband covering his left eye and a black mask that covers his whole face besides from the area of his eyes. And lastly Uchiha Sasuke. A long time rival to Naruto that has created a strong unbreakable bond between them. He has dark Black spiked up hair that seems to be parallel on both sides, followed by dark black eyes which fitted great with his hair. He was supposedly the last of the Uchiha but everyone knew that's not true. Recently Sasuke's been acting a little 'strange' towards Naruto recently, maybe that's just because of the strong bond the two share. Who knows.

Naruto continued to walk along the village path, getting closer and closer to the designated point where he was meant to meet up with the rest of his squad for their daily early morning training. Seeing the bridge in sight he grinned and saw 2/3 of his teammates already waiting for him. "HEY SAKURA! SASUKE!" He let a wide grin cover his features and he removed his hands from his pockets and placed them on the back of his head.

The pink haired girl and the Raven both turned to see their loud mouthed Blonde teammate in the distance getting closer to them. Sakura giggled and gave a wave at him where as Sasuke just stared at him as he approached closer and closer. When Naruto got close his removed his hands from the back of his head and walked up to the two. He blinked and looked around not seeing any sign of their silver haired Sensei. A sigh passed his lips and he looked at Sakura then to Sasuke "Kakashi Sensei isn't here yet? How long have you two been waiting?" The Blonde asked the other two Genin.

"Not long, only like 10 minutes or so." The pink haired girl smiled and answered for both of them. "Nn that stupid pervert is always late!" he sighed and leaned back against the edge of the bridge closing his eyes and folding his arms. Sakura just giggled in response where as Sasuke looked over at the Blonde and smiled at him. A few minutes of silence later a puff of smoke suddenly appeared and a much taller figure appeared that was crouching down on the poles of the bridge. A visible smile could be seen through the black fabric of the Jounin's mask.

"Sorry I'm late, I was helping an old lady across the street and-" "LIAR!" The three students shouted out at in synchronicity timing, causing their Sensei to give a nervous laugh and rub the back of his head. "Honestly would it kill you to come early for once?" the Blonde sighed and looked up at his Sensei. Kakashi only sweat dropped in response and closed his eyes so they were upside down U's. [Happy face :D] The Blonde only sighed again in response. "Can we at least start sparring now? I really feel like kicking the Teme's ass." The Blonde looked over at his rival with confident smirk placed on his face. Sasuke looked back over at the Blonde idiot and gave a small smirk in response. "You wish." He said back and continued to look over at his long term rival. Weird... he didn't call the Blonde a Dobe for once...

Sakura sighed out loud and followed it with a giggle [Mmm, perhaps I made her giggle a bit too much D: xD] "Rivals will be rivals ne, Kakashi-sensei?" The pinkette said and looked over at the Jounin. Kakashi chuckled in response. "Yeah, I guess so." He paused for a moment. "Alright Naruto you're with Sasuke, Sakura you're with me." he said and began to walk off in a direction, indicating for Sakura to follow in which she did.

Naruto heard his Sensei's confirmation and so he walked over to Sasuke and passed him, giving the message to follow him. The Raven instantly starting following him as the Blonde passed him. Naruto eventually lead the other to a more clearer space with a nice flat surface not far from the bridge. He turned around to face the Raven. "You ready Teme?" Naruto smirked and got into a fighting stance. Sasuke smirked in response. "Always ready Do-... Naruto" He did the same and got into a stance. Naruto raised one eyebrow up a little in response to Sasuke's changing of words but quickly let it go. "Let's make this more interesting, if I win you're paying for Ramen for the both of us... If you win I'll pay for Ramen for the both of us." Naruto said with a confident grin.

Sasuke couldn't help but smile softly. "You and your Ramen." He let out a chuckle. "Alright fine, deal" Naruto gave another smirk. When Ramen was on the line, there was no way he was gonna lose. With a count to 5 in the Blonde's head he immediately sprinted towards the Raven, preforming multiple hand signs. "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!" The Blonde created 5 shadow clones and sent them over to Sasuke. The Raven pulled out a kunai and threw it over at one of the clones, hitting it in the stomach and making it disappear.

He then blocked a punch from one of the clones and back kicked a clone that tried to hit him from behind. Another clone sent a punch at Sasuke's cheek but he just jumped out of the way, causing the shadow Clone's fist to connect with the face of another one of the Clones. Three down two to go. The Raven then pulled out a shuriken, about to throw it at one of the clones when he got interrupted by a punch from another Naruto, wait I had my eyes on both of the shadow clones... How did he?... It didn't take long to realize that it was the real Naruto that sent that fist into his cheek.

He cursed to himself and leaned up from his slightly crouched position. The Raven then began to sprint towards the opposite direction, making Naruto and the remaining two clones chase after him. Sasuke continued sprinting till he saw a tree in distance, he increased his speed a little and headed straight on towards that tree. Naruto continued to chase him regardless of being confused on why Sasuke was running straight dead on towards a tree...

When Sasuke got close enough he focused his chakra into his feet and he began to run up the tree, he got a few metres up before using his feet to push himself off the tree so his body was in mid air with his head facing towards the ground [Like when Itachi was a teenager and he hit all the targets dead centre with Kunais. ^.^] With a swift motion the Raven pulled out 2 shuriken and threw them at the 2 shadow clones either side Naruto, hitting them dead on which caused them to disappear.

Sasuke flipped his body around and landed perfectly on his feet. Naruto turned round and ran up to Sasuke, swinging a fist at his face, though it was blocked with Sasuke's arm. The Blonde twisted his body and swung around to give a kick to the Raven's chest but Sasuke just dodged out of the way. In a quick response Sasuke crouched his body down a little and attempted to trip Naruto up by sliding his feet across the ground to hit Naruto's. The Blonde quickly threw himself out the way before Sasuke's legs could hit his.

The Kitsune cursed to himself and threw down a smoke bomb, a few seconds later 3 clones appeared from the smoke and ran over to the Uchiha. He quickly got himself back up and blocked a punch that came from one of the clones. He then used his other fist to punch the Clone in the face, the body got thrown back hard into another Clone and caused them both tool disappear. The last clone sent a kick at Sasuke's waist which ended up hitting him, due to having his guard down. He gritted his teeth a little and used the rest of his energy left to connect a punch into the Clone's face causing it to poof in a cloud of smoke.

Sasuke tiredly turned back around to look for Naruto but he was suddenly pounced on, his body hit the floor hard and scraped along the floor, getting about a 1 meter distance. Sasuke gasped and turned his head to the side, giving out a small cry of pain. He turned his head back forwards and looked up at the Blonde, now on top of him, they're bodies literally touching. Sasuke's eyes went wide and he immediately looked away from Naruto, a blush formed over his usual pale cheeks.
Naruto smirked and looked down at the Raven. "I win, Sasuke." he slowly pulled his body away from Sasuke's, not really thinking anything of the newly formed blush over his rival's cheeks.

The Blonde got up to his feet and grinned down at the Uchiha underneath him. He extended his arm and offered Sasuke a help up, the Raven turned his head a little and saw this, another light shade of pink formed over his cheeks and he turned his head to the side, accepting the offer to help him up. Naruto blinked a few times as he saw his rival's cheeks tinted with a light shade of pink, he just shook it of and let a grin form over his features again. Sasuke's eyes widened a little, Naruto's hand it was... So gentle, so soft... He didn't want to let go. He felt his heart sink a little though as Naruto decided to. What was this feeling he had? Why did he not want Naruto to let go of his hand?

However Sasuke was thrown out of his thoughts when he heard a loud Blonde speaking to him again. "Sasuke?..." "Huh?" The Raven replied, just about hearing Naruto say his name. "I said you owe me a bowl of Ramen!" he said with a wide grin on his face. Sasuke smiled in response. "Yeah I guess I do." He said back to the Blonde and began wiping off some dirt off his clothes. Naruto kept his grin and turned around, he began walking back in the direction they came from. "Let's go tell Kakashi-sensei we're finished, then we can go to Ichiraku's!" The Blonde said with a huge amount of happiness radiating off of his voice. Sasuke gave another small smile and nodded "Yeah let's go then."
