Kiwi: Okay, guys, the second chapter is up, it's short, yes, I know, but I can't manage much. I'm typing everything I have onto my calculator...! How sad!

Inarshio: Don't be so negative! *makes a pouty face*

Kiwi: *sweatdrops* Alright, this chapter is the later-on part of Sasuke's birthday. What will happen now?

Sasuke: It's gonna be perverted!

Kiwi, Inarshio and Itachi: Exactly the opposite.

さすなるそれを聞いたか？

SasuNaru, Ever Heard of it?

July 23, 9 AM (Sasuke)

My birthday has been the worst day of my rotten life…! Those crazy women want me to smile at them and make them faint… They are a big bunch of idiots… Life doesn't work that way. If it did, I would've been King of the Universe for all I care.

Sasuke turned around, studying his image in the mirror. He wore his casual outfit, a white jacket with the sleeves of a tee, a waist wrap-around, a pair of black pants, a pair of ninja sandals, a headband around his neck, arm protectors, and his katana in its sheath. Not that bad. He could still hear the squeal of girls outside. How annoying!

July 23, 9 AM (Naruto)

Alright, let's see, I'll change into something more comfortable for the summer breeze...

Naruto slipped into a pair of black shorts and a pair of black ninja sandals. Then, he put on a black, netted shirt with sleeves that reached his elbows and a dark blue v-neck shirt with sleeves that flanked out like a normal tee. He wore his headband on his waist, a pair of thick ninja gloves, and he slipped his backpack on. His kunai bag was ready, too. The shirts jugged his lean form. The shorts were slightly longer than his knees and were loose and baggy. His ninja sandals were very "open-minded" and were very flexible. He studied his image in the mirror. Perfect! Now, to meet up with the Teme at the gates of town...

July 23, 9:10 AM (Sasuke)

Where is he?! He should be here by now...! I said five past nine! He's five minutes late...

Sasuke sat down on top of the wall right over the red doors that led to Konohagakure.

"Teme!" A familiar voice called out to him. He looked down. There stood the blonde ball of sunshine.

"You're late!" He called back, snorting.

"By five minutes!" Naruto replied, frowning. "You ready?"

"Yep." Sasuke jumped down and gracefully landed right next to Naruto.

"You girly-ass woman!" Naruto laughed.

"You retarded-ass bum." Sasuke elbowed him.

"At least I'm not girly."

"I am not girly." Sasuke punched the top of Naruto's head.

Naruto whimpered, holding his head. He looked up and started walking. "The sky's clear today, looks like our rendezvous will be okay."

Sasuke looked over to Naruto. The position Naruto was in was so seductive, and the clothing made it even harder for Sasuke to pry his eyes away from Naruto's beautiful body. Maybe he did work out. He himself wore black and bark blue. His sandals were black and were similar to Naruto's and his shorts were black, loose, right above his knees, and his deep blue shirt was tight around his torso and his sleeves were loose and whole until his elbow, where it split with a slit. He wore thin ninja gloves and his bag was a sing-strap carry-on bag. The Uchiha emblem was embedded into the back and his headband hung around his neck. He himself looked like an irresistible treat. He grinned to himself, why was he drooling over Naruto when he had himself? He looked much better, and, of course, was a much more graceful figure, not too muscular, not too wimpy. He could sense the girls peeking from around building corners, alleyways, and trees, shyly batting their eyelashes like sissies. It disgusted him. Being this popular did not work out with his lifestyle... Well, maybe it did, but he did not like the attention a bit.

"Teme, are you listening?"

"Huh? Sorry, what'd you say? I was trying to count the number of girls stalking us..." Sasuke stopped, looking back at the blonde.

"Shut up, stop bragging." Naruto frowned. "Where to? Tsunade baa-chan allowed us to go to any village, at least we don't cause any trouble."

"I'd like to go to a festival..." Sasuke muttered "Unfortunately, we'll attract to much attention..."

"You mean you'll attract too much attention." Naruto corrected him.

"Right, like a ball of bright yellow won't attract much." Sasuke's sarcasm sparked fire in Naruto's eyes.

"Be quiet, selfish ass!" Naruto ran ahead. "I'm heading for Tanmagakira, follow if you want. They have the best festivals around this month."

Sasuke's eyes lit up at the word festival. He ran after.

"What a sissy, when did you like festivals so much?"

"I like the night fireworks, quite soothing."

Naruto thought that over for half a second. "True..." He laughed.

Sasuke grinned and shook his head "Hn."

July 23, 12:53 PM (Naruto)

Naruto stepped into the clearing in the forest. In front of him lay a well worn path. Along the path side, there were stone figures littering the way.

"Sasuke!" He called back. Sasuke emerged from the forest and skidded to a halt beside him.

"We're here..." Sasuke said, overjoyed with the arrival.

They stepped across the simple, but mighty bridge that spanned across the width of the wide Yakizou river that rang alongside the prosperous village. Villagers of all classes were bustling in all directions, preparing for the festival to come.

"Sweet! The view from the bridge is so enchanting!" Naruto hung himself over the bridge lightly. The breeze caught on, swiping his bangs from his face, blowing all his hair back, he closed his eyes in sweet retreat and took in a deep, refreshing breath. "Aah... This is so refreshing! Much better than a hot spring!" Naruto hopped back down from the railing, eyeing Sasuke, who was lounging over the edge, on his elbows, hugging them, as well. When his hair was blown back, his face was like delicate porcelain. Naruto envied that, his face that was etched with wild rapture of delight.

"Sasuke...?" Naruto whispered, realizing that Sasuke's face had changed into a face of shock, or was it anger? He glanced up the river in the direction Sasuke was staring. It was three fugitive ninjas, standing on the river, smirking, evil dancing in their eyes. You could tell even with such a distance. Sasuke's eyes narrowed and Naruto felt Kyuubi's senses tense.

Kiwi: Okee-dokee, this is it, hope you like the suspense, I'll give you the conclusion within a month.

Inarshio: Wow... That was kinda boring...!

Kiwi: 'Cause you like smut so much better...

Inarshio: No duh!

Sasuke and Naruto: What the hell happens to us?!

Kiwi: *shrugs* Let's see what my imagination conjures!

Kiwi, Inarshio, Sasuke, Naruto and Itachi: Please rate and review! See you in the next chapter!
