"Sasuke, hang on! We'll be there soon!" Naruto cried into the phone. He was rocking back and forth trying to control his tears. The blond trembled as another wave of fear crashed into his heart. "Sasuke, I love you! I forgive you! Just don't close your eyes…" He trailed off as a sob got stuck in his throat. "P-please…Sasuke!"

There was silence on the other end of the line.

"Sasuke!" Naruto yelled again, clutching the phone to his ear as if it would bring him closer to his dark haired love.

Kiba glanced over at him with fear and worry in his eyes. Shino stayed silent in the back. Naruto held Kiba's gaze and grabbed at his chest, making sure his heart was still beating; he couldn't tell.

Kiba jammed his foot down on the accelerator, driving as fast as the car would let him.

"Sasuke answer me!" Naruto pleaded one last time. There was still no answer. "Sasuke…" He whispered.

The phone slipped out of his numbed hand and landed on the car carpeting with a soft thud.

To Naruto the sound seemed deafening.

"Kiba!" Naruto swung his legs over the bench seat, detangling himself from the lunch table. He bounded over to his canine loving best friend and met him at the cafeteria door with his award winning smile and a bucket load of questions. "And where have you been Mr.?"

Kiba just shrugged but didn't answer causing Naruto to s . "I bet you were slinking around campus with some chick!" He elbowed his friend in the ribs, thoroughly enjoying teasing the canine lover. He turned his smirk sly to fluster Kiba even more.

Kiba coughed and turned away, but not before Naruto caught a light blush on his cheeks. "N-no! Why would you say something like that?"

Naruto raised a pale blond eyebrow. "Kib, it was a joke."

The brown haired teen turned back towards Naruto and gave him a nervous smile. "Oh. Yeah." Kiba's eyes darted around and rested on their lunch table where Naruto's instant ramen bowl was already emptied. "So, where are Gaara and Neji?" It seemed obvious to Naruto that Kiba was trying to change the subject but let his friend have a break.

He sighed. "You really aren't going to talk are you?" Kiba shook his head. Naruto ran a hand through his blond hair. "Ok, well, Gaara skipped today and Neji's sitting with Tenten at the ShikaInoCho table.

"Oh…makes sense." Kiba put his lunch next to Naruto's and waved at Neji who was at the fore mentioned table. Even though it was called the ShikaInoCho table only two out of the three donors to the name actually sat there. Ino and Choji had exiled Shikamaru when he had started hanging out with Sasuke and his stupid friend Sakura.

Sakura was the worst thing that could have happened to the already stuck-up Uchiha. His already -ish aura had gotten even worse once he and the head had started dating. Everyone knew that he was in a constant battle with his older brother, Itachi, for popularity and Sakura was boosting his.

Naruto turned his head as he heard the cafeteria door open again. The jacketed form of Shino Abrame walked in and sat down at Sasuke's "popular table" along with Shikamaru and Sakura; the table that everyone like to call the "Four S's" table. Naruto took this for nothing special so turned back to Kiba to try and start a conversation. But to Naruto's surprise Kiba wasn't looking at him or even at his food, he was looking at the Four S's table with a far-off look in his eyes. Why would he be looking there?

"Oi Kiba!" Naruto yelled into his friend's ear.

"W-what?" Kiba was brought back from his daze.

"Oh nothing. Just calling you back to earth."

"Um ok…thanks…I guess."

"No problem. What are friend for if not to make them def?" Naruto laughed as Kiba threw a carrot stick at him.

"Hey Naruto."

"What up Gaa-chan?"

"I told you not to call me that."

"Yeah but I never said that I would listen did I?"

"Whatever Naruto. Anyway, did I miss anything major today?"

"Nah. Today was boring. Basically nothing happened. Not even any major gossip spreading!"

"…ok."

"Oh but guess what!"

"What Naruto?" Gaara sighed.

"There was some total staring action going on today! And Kiba was doing the staring! Kiba!! The dog-freak!" Naruto said excitedly. He couldn't believe that his best friend finally liked someone.

"So he was ogling a poodle. So what? How's that different from usual?"

"Not a dog Gaara! An actual human being."

"Really now? Who?"

"Sakura!"

"What?" Gaara monotoned. "Are you kidding? That bitch?"

"Yup! I'm so disappointed in him!"

"I can tell." Gaara said, sarcasm evident. "Anyway I've gotta go. Temari is demanding the phone. You know how teen aged s can be."

"Yeah…I'll see you later then!"

"Kay. Bye Naruto."

"Bye!"

Yeah…this fic has been sitting here for a while now so I decided it was about time I uploaded it. Um yeah…if you like it please let me know so I know to continue it.

Thanks!
