CHAPTER 1
"Hey, Sasuke! Let me hang out at your house! "
"No. "
"Why? "
"No reason. "
"Please~~? " The yellow-haired brat begged.
The raven in front of him stopped abruptly and turned around…giving him a shivering glare.
" .NO. "
"But, we're dating right? " Naruto questioned.
Sasuke frowned.
"Just who on earth gave you such disgusting idea?"
"You. " With a cute but rather foolish face, Naruto answered.
"Look, dobe. It's better for you to practice your ninjutsu rather than tailing me all over Konoha and asking me lots of dumb and irritating questions!" Sasuke, finally pointed out.
Naruto pouted. He looked down onto the road.
"Don't you…love me like I do? "
"Geez. . . ! Got that? Now you have my answer, so FUCK OFF!" Sasuke snarled and walked away.
Naruto, who was shocked by Sasuke's words, quietly crying there. He too, walked away and dragged his legs to his house. His heart ached. He didn't expect it would turn out that way. He thought that it was not a one-sided love. He always felt that Sasuke cared for him. Even though Sasuke never smiled or laughed with him but…he could feel that Sasuke was trying to reach him. He was sure of that. So, he thought it was fine to be a little bit closer than usual to Sasuke. But…everything was crashed by one blow from the guy that he fell for. 'Is it time for me to give up? Hopeless…'
*SFX: Knock Knock*
"Hmmm...? Who could it be? " Weird, Naruto thought as he wiped off his tears.
He opened the door and was shocked when he saw a figure. Well, an unexpected-going-to-appear-someone.
"Kakashi-sensei? What's up? "
"Let's go, Naruto"
Naruto blinked his eyes…a few times. He was getting blur for a second, hearing his sensei's statement.
"Eh? "
"Your love was turned down by him, right? "
Naruto's poor heart throbbed…it was…painful, hurtful, made he suffered. Is this how pitiful I looked to others…? He thought. Came back to his senses, Naruto nodded his head…slowly, as his answer for Kakashi-sensei's question.
'Wait a minute…'
"How the hell did you know? " Naruto backed off, with his blushed…extremely blushing face.
Kakashi-sensei grinned.
"Oh well, let's just say…I was tailing you who was tailing him…that Sasuke guy."
Naruto jerked.
"What…kind…of…'tailing' chain is that…Kakashi-sensei…? "
"It's fun, watching a real good drama action from dumb kids like you guys." Kakashi shot.
"Seriosuly, sensei…I have no time for this. " Naruto sighed. He waived his sensei goodbye and started to close the door. But, when suddenly Kakashi-sensei blocked his action by pushing the door back, Naruto froze. Naruto moved his gaze to Kakashi's face…a serious face, this time.
"K-kakashi…sensei? "
"Go out with me, Naruto. " Kakashi's hoarse voice sipped into Naruto's ear and then, gave him a shiver.
"Eh? "
"Tomorrow. Sharp at 9. Come to my house. Please come…I'll be waiting. " Kakashi said. His eyes looked straight into Naruto's. Then he smiled. Kakashi leaned down and left a light kiss on Naruto's forehead then moved down to his cheek. Naruto was totally numb. His mind went blank.
"Bye, Naruto. I'll see you tomorrow. " Kakashi said and went away.
Naruto, in the other hand, still unmoved. He fell down to his knees. His face went hot and red. His heartbeat was beating fast.
"What…was that…? " He mumbled. Waiting for his strength to come back, he thought, 'Kakashi-sensei…he just…kissed my…my…'
Naruto slowly got up and walked into his house. He headed nowhere but to his bed. I need some rest, he thought, again.
But, somewhere at the corner, someone was watching that scene from the very beginning with the fists clenched.
"Damn you, Kakashi. " That person gritted.
In the end…there Naruto was…standing steadily in front of Kakashi's house, still making up his mind whether he should or should he not stepped into that house.
"I think I should go back home… " At last, after about 50 minutes of being the 'Holy Statue of The Night' there, he finally made up his mind. He turned around and begun to take his steps but his move was stuck by someone pulling his shoulder back.
"Whoa..! "
"And where do you think you're going, Naruto? " Kakashi asked, with his you-better-explain-this-to-me tone.
Naruto gulped.
"Err…well, I just…umm… " He mumbled.
"Let's go inside. " Kakashi said. He dragged Naruto along.
"W-wait! Kakashi-sensei! Wait! " The pitiful yellow-haired guy struggled.
With a chuckle, Kakashi said...
"No. You can sit in my room. it's upstairs, two rooms to the right. "
"O-okay… " Naruto nodded. He took the stairs and get into Kakashi's room.
'Wow…what a nice room.'
Naruto sat on the floor, waiting for his sensei.
'What is Sasuke doing, right now? Is he…still mad at me…?'
"Naruto. Could you stop thinking about him, already? It's better for you to focus only on me. Only me. " A raw voice…suddenly whispered into his ear. It sounded so near to him…he could felt…Kakashi's warm breath. Naruto got nervous. He couldn't move. He trembled.
"Kakashi…sensei…? "
"I love you, Naruto. "
