Yay! My first story! I am excited! So, in case you were wondering, THIS IS A SASUNARU. Yes, make no mistake about it. My next chapter will more than likely be a bit citrusy. That is it will probably contain a lemon. ANd not the kind that you make a drink out of. At least makes a face I hope you dont make drinks out of it...

Note to self: I do not own Naruto, I do not own Naruto, I do not own Naruto, I do not own Naruto, I would like to own Naruto, But I do not own Naruto.

"Hey! You're back!" A bubbly blond rushed to the front door of his house to wrap his arms around his roommate.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm back, Naruto." The Uchiha embraced the blond lightly in return.

"So, how did it go?" Naruto bounced to the counter where he scooped a bowl of noodles for the Sasuke.

"I'd say it went well. We found a lot of interesting items." The raven dropped his sack on the table with a satisfying thud.

"Wow." Naruto handed Sasuke the noodles and a pair of chopsticks. "Anything valuable?"

Sasuke loosened the knot on the drawstring of the sack and turned it upside down, emptying its contents on the table. "I don't know," he said quietly as he spread everything out. "Some of this looks real, though I have my doubts."

Naruto scanned the table with his eyes: A bowl, four rocks, a scrap of cloth, and two masks. Naruto grinned before picking up one of the brightly colored masks and holding it against his face. "Buahahahaha!"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, the shadow of a smile on his face. "Naruto, you really shouldn't do that. That could be a genuine-"

"Nah," Naruto laid the mask back on the table. "This one's a fake."

"Hm?" Sasuke picked the mask up carefully holding it between his thumb and forefinger. "How can you tell? I haven't taken it to a-"

Naruto smirked. "The sticker on the back."

"Huh?" The raven flipped the mask over and groaned at the MADE IN KOREA label.

"Yeah," Naruto practically giggled. "How did you miss that one?"

Sasuke closed his eyes. "It wasn't me," he said as though it was obvious. "It was Hinata. She's still not very good at telling real artifacts from imitations."

Naruto stood. "Ah, well. She'll get better at it. Want some tea?"

Sasuke nodded.

Naruto brought him a cup. "Still, you better talk to her about it. She needs to check those things. And you should find out who her source was so you stay away from him."

Sasuke grinned slightly as he put his cup on the table. "Yeah, I'll be sure to do that. But right now," He leaned across the table toward Naruto. "I'm really interested in what you've been doing all day. The house certainly looks cleaner."

Naruto face flushed crimson. "Yeah, well I cleaned up a little today…ha ha ha," he put his hands behind his head. "And actually, Iruka came over earlier. We worked in the garden for most of the day."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "We have a garden?"

Naruto smiled. "We do now! Check it out!" He stood from the table and grabbed Sasuke's wrist. "Come on!" He pulled Sasuke toward the backdoor. "Okay," Naruto placed his palms together. "Close your eyes."

Sasuke did as he was told and a moment later he heard the gentle creaking of the back door as it opened. He let Naruto lead him by the arm. "Now?" he asked.

"Not yet," Naruto said, excited.

Sasuke let Naruto maneuver him. "Now?"

"Well, geez if you're going to be impatient," Naruto moved Sasuke again.

Sasuke raised his hands in mock surrender. "Didn't mean to be impatient."

Naruto laughed. "I was just joking. You can look."

Sasuke opened his eyes, expecting to see flowers and vegetables everywhere. Instead, his sight landed on a patch of dirt. "That's…it?"

Naruto floundered. "Well, yeah…I mean…there were a lot of weeds…and …well…plants don't grow that fast…so I know it's just a plot of dirt but-"

"Naruto, relax." Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist. "It's a lovely plot of dirt."

"Well, I planted three pines over there," Naruto motioned to the left. "And over there I put a couple of azaleas, though I think Iruka smashed the dirt too hard onto one of them. Um…down there," Naruto pointed to the bottom of the small slope in the yard. "I planted some fuji and hagi. Those are probably going to take serious tending." He sighed. "I tried to plant Sakura by the house there, but I don't think it's going to live." He pointed to a rather pathetic looking small tree. "And there by the pond I'm trying to get some hasu to grow. I think that will be alright."

Sasuke grinned. "It will be beautiful."

Naruto blushed when Sasuke nibbled on his ear. "Yeah…um…thanks." He squirmed out of Sasuke's arms. "Well, um… I should probably go get a shower." He ran toward the door.

"Not without me." Sasuke followed him.

So? What do you think? Eh? Mm? Well? Interesting? No? Only reading for the promised lemon? ... No really. What do you think?
