2. I had a little change in chap 1. Do you remember the snack-like man? (Haha, all we know who he is)) Now his myrmidons will call him "Master", and the mystery character he called "Master" will be called "The King" *:"*

3. I really need a beta, so if you can help me, please tell me, I'll be absolutely grateful .

CHAP 2

.

He doesn't dream often.

Sometimes, in his dream, all he can see is just dark black. There is no light, or maybe just because he isn't opening his eyes. He can feel, but the feeling is very vague. It seems to be rain, because he can notice the wetness. His ears are buzzing. His eyelids are heavy, either his limbs. He's so sleepy and tired, and cold. The cold isn't come from outside, it's from inside, from his own body. He just wants to rest.

And then, he recognizes he's wrapped in someone's warmth. A warm hand holds his firmly. Next, warm lips touch his forehead. A drop of water falls onto his cheek. He doesn't know what it is, but he knows it isn't water-rain, because it's so warm.

Suddenly, his ears become clearer, not too clear, yet clear enough to hear somebody's whisper:

I love you

.

Sun is finally out. New day comes. Golden light starts skating on the floor, waking up deep sleepers.

In a small room, there is a small spotlessly white bed, a man is lying in. His hair is golden like summer sunlight. His sun-kissed body is coated with bandage. Suddenly the tightly shutting eyelids shake lightly. Slowly, they open. First, the sign is blurred as a wet pane of glass. He props up, rubs his eyes. The wounds yesterday haven't hurt anymore, as if they had never appeared. The blond winks a few times. His feeling is very strange. Something's wrong here. Then, he is startled. The memory of last day attacks his brain. He frowns. Where is he now? This room is completely unfamiliar, but he can't perceive the hostility. Honestly, deep in his heart, something is jolting. He can feel the familiarity. Subsequently the man notices his body. He lifts up his brow and looks around carefully. This room is warm, tidy whether a little small. And it smells like herb after rain…

This think comes, his entire action simultaneously stops.

Smells like herb after rain…?

Of all sudden, his pupils become mournful, like he's watching an old sad movie. Without thinking more, he kicks the blanket away, hurriedly runs out the room…

The man enters the living-room, and sees another man lying on his side on the sofa, facing the door. His sleeping face looks really peaceful. The ebony hair falls on his smooth pale skin. A black shirt covering his slender frame makes him even thinner and fragile, like a china doll.

He has the smell of herb after rain.

He is so beautiful, so vulnerable. And so familiar.

The man at door is in shock now. He can't determine his sensation nor his thinks anymore. Everything is coming too fast for him to adapt. His eyes go as wide as they can. His lips are trembling, but nothing comes out. His voice has been no where to found. At the moment, just one word turns up in his head…

Sasuke…

...

On the highest branch of a tree not too far there, there is a figure standing. It's wearing a black metal mass. The ghostly black long coat's floating in the wind.

"Master! He is saved, by a human!"

"…"

"I don't know, but he looks just like that monk..."

"…"

"Yes Master, I understand!"

...

Sasuke can sense someone touching his cheek.

He wiggles, tries to sneak into his pillow to avoid the hand.

He hears a low chuckle. The hand on his cheek starts to go down, stroking his lower lip with its thump, next gently rubbing his neck.

The raven grimaces, puts his hand up to move the disturbing hand away.

What the hell? Go away! – He murmurs.

Yet it's no use, his hand is caught easily.

Then, he feels a pair of lips touching his knuckles. So damn hot breath tickles his skin.

Now he can't bear any longer. His eyes flew open.

Although the other is kneeling against the bright light, but the Uchiha is still able to see the sky-blue pupils peering directly into his deep night-like owns. Sunlight is playing on his golden head, makes him more ethereal.

The man smirks, a satisfied smirk, also hovering the don't-care attitude of it owner…

"Good morning, Kitty."

Four eyes glower at the others…

"How violent!" The blonde exclaims, holding the latter's frail fist. He's closely been punched, fortunately, his action is faster.

"What are you doing?" Sasuke asks in deadpan voice.

"Nothing." The other shrugs "Watching you sleep?"

Sasuke glares at the man, wishes he had a gun right now to blow his brains out. Snatching his hand out of the blonde's grasp, the raven stands up, reels into the restroom.

.

Interesting… The blonde tells to himself. He recalls that he has to make a call now… Ummm… Where is the phone?

The Uchiha don't know why, but the moment the stranger raised his voice and looked into his eyes, he seemly see a light hope in his eyes, but before he can confirm it, it's disappeared. He isn't quite certain, perhaps it was just his imaginary.

When Sasuke steps out the bathroom, the man he saved last night isn't in the living-room anymore. In stead of that, the pale man finds him in the kitchen, sitting cross-legged at the table, reading an old newspaper. Hearing Sasuke come in, he starts to talk without lifting his head.

"Do you have anything to eat? I'm starving."

"Starver can't sit and read so composedly like you."

The stranger finally puts the newspaper down to look at the raven, who's leaning against the doorframe, eyeing him challengingly. After a long silence, a laugh bursts out his lips.

"Fine. So will you feed me or not?"

Sasuke narrows his eyes: "Your skin is fucking thick, isn't it?"

"Thanks for the compliment." – The latter sniggers, continues his reading.

Sasuke signs. This bastard is so dead!

.

5 minutes later, a cup of coffee is right in front of the blonde. He glowers at it suspiciously, then glances at the man sitting opposite him: "What's this?"

"It's called coffee, dode." Sasuke replied calmly, drinking a small gulp from his cup.

"I know it's coffee." – The tan man rubs his fore with two fingers – "But I'm hungry, not thirsty or sleepy."

"It's not my matter." – The Uchiha smacks his lips – "I don't eat in the morning."

"Really?" – Fleering – "That's why you are thin, right?"

How funny! Sasuke stares at the bigger man, who starts drinking his beverage.

"Ah, I've almost forgot." – Putting the cup down on the table, the blonde says in his deep husky voice – "Thank you for treating me."

Sasuke nods a little "How are your wounds?"

"They're good. I'm healing very fast, so don't worry about me." – The answerer smirks at him.

The pale gazes at the opposite man. He thinks, maybe he was deadly wrong for saving this guy. "When will you leave?"

"I've called my driver, he'll come here soon."

Sasuke's surprised "If you have your phone, why didn't you call for help yesterday?"

"No, I don't bring my phone with me." – His voice is totally matter-of-fact.

"So how…"

"I used your phone." – The reply quickly muzzles his question.

The raven frowns "Without my permission?"

"Yeah, sorry." – Surely there is no hint of apology in his voice.

Sasuke wants to kick this ass out of his house so badly!

Silence spreads all over the room. The only sound can be heard is the tick tock of the clock. Suddenly, the bigger of two asks: "What's your name?"

The answer he receives is glacial: "It's not related to you."

"So cold." The blonde smacks his tongue. "Don't you curious about me?"

The latter responds by another icy question "Why have I?" Actually, it isn't really true. The fact is that he a little, just very very little, wants to know why this guy hurt, but of course he'll never say it out loud.

"Whatever." The other sits comfortably on the chair. "By the way, I'm Naruto Uzumaki. It's nice to meet you."

Not to me - The raven thinks, nods inattentively. Naruto, as he's introduced before, looks fixedly at him. For no reason, this look makes Sasuke very uncomfortable. It's, somehow,… hopeful. It confuses him. What is he hoping? Or it's just his imaginary one more time? At last, he clears his throat, snapping the other out of his daydream "What?"

"What's what?" Sasuke arched his brow "You're staring."

"Oh, really?" The blonde signs "Sorry, I'm losing in thought."

Sasuke narrows his eyes untrustworthily. At that very same time, the phone in living-room rings.

The raven quickly goes to pick it up. "Uchiha's speaking."

After a while, he lowers the phone from his ear, speaking to the other through his shoulder. "It's yours."

Naruto comes near to return the call. "Yes?"

"…"

"Okay. Wait a second."

After hanging up, he turns around to face his saver, who's standing at the entrance. "I have to leave now."

Sasuke just shrugs, points at the door not too far from where he's stranding "Door is right here."

"You won't give me a send-off, will you?"

"No."

Naruto signs, walking towards the door. When he walks past the pale, suddenly, his lips curve in a smirk. Next, everything happens too fast for Sasuke to evade. His wrist is grasped and pressed against the wall behind. He is definitely being locked by the other's arms and the wall.

"What are you doing?" He asked impatiently.

The blonde chuckles, caresses the pale chin with two knuckles. He can taste the smell of herb after rain right now "You haven't given me your name."

Sasuke tilts his head, don't want to be touched "Why do you so insist on wanting to know the name of a person you'll never see again?"

Naruto laughs deeply, "What makes you think it's our last meet?" Then, he bends down, whispers hotly into his ear "I haven't repaid you yet."

"I don't need it." The cornered man glares at the man before him, extremely annoyed with this bastard. He hasn't let anyone stand so close like that, except Itachi. Trying in vain to escape from the other's grip, the smaller orders coldly "Let me go!"

The barefaced man chuckles one more, holds his wrist more tightly. And then, to the pale's utmost surprise, a gently kiss is placed right at the corner of his mouth.

"Don't worry, Beauty, we'll meet again soon."

.

Sasuke's eyes open widely. It takes him 10 seconds to be shocked. Yes, he's too shocked to react. Naruto eyes the dazzled gesture of the smaller, lips curve in pleasure. Damn it, he's cute! Suddenly, he hears the sound of blowing wind, instinctively raises his hand and catches the coming fist right before it touches his face.

But before he can sign with relief, the other hand's automatically gone lower to parry a kick.

"You like hitting people a lot, right?"

The raven's pale face now becomes green-white. He's such as a bristling-haired cat now, glaring angrily at the other as he can kill him just by looking. In his whole life, never has anyone dared to irritate him like this fucking dick!

"Get. Out!" He snaps out furiously, urging not to murder somebody.

The blonde shrugs, steps towards the door. At the precise moment the door is opened, he turns around and says provocatively with a smirk: "Kitty, you can't run away from me."

"And don't skip your breakfast. It's not good for you." – He adds

With that, the door's closed, leaving the Uchiha purple with rage.
