Training with You... Part 2

SasukeXNaruto

POV Sasuke

Here I am again, training. I am always pushing myself, almost too hard sometimes, but it is worth it. Lately I've been concentrating less on defeating my brother and more on my crazy dimwitted blonde enemy on my team, Naruto. Sure he can be stupid... and hard handed... and spastic, but I've been more and more concentrated on him lately. I mean obviously I can do it without being noticed, but it seems as if Naruto has gotten more interested in me lately as well, but when he does it, it's really noticeable. I, of course, act as if I do not notice or care, but it's driving me insane.

Are the feelings mutual?

He and I. We are very different, but we're also very similar in ways. We both have monsters within us and goals that seem ridiculous to most people. He is the nine tailed fox and I am a dark angel, from Orochimaru. He wants to become hokage and I want to kill my brother. We have our many differences as well, but that's enough for me. Then there has been so many times. So many times that he's saved me from enemies... and myself.

He probably thinks I still hate him and despise him. But I don't; not anymore. I love him so much and the clueless fool has no idea.

I don't understand why I'm so afraid to tell him how I feel. I've always been fearless and unafraid of things. I suppose I may be over thinking this. I mean he may reject me and laugh at me. Oh what a mockery I would be if that happened. But, I just can't seem to shake a certain feeling I have about Naruto and his feelings. I think he feels the same way. If only you knew.

I quickly glance over in Naruto's direction and watch him pound his fists into a tree into submission. He must be frustrated at something. I wonder what it is, but he's always confused and frustrated; I shouldn't think much of this. But, the blonde very seductive as he does this; sweat slightly flying from his hair with each pound, and the little noises he makes as he punches.

My shirt is heavy from sweat and is sticking to my body; it's only holding me back. I begin to take of my shirt, still in my own thoughts, and then notice Naruto staring. Pretending not to notice, I continue by removing my undershirt next. Now, I stood there shirtless and Naruto was still staring so I try to look at him, but he soon looked away, blushing, and tries to look occupied with what he's doing, but it almost seems as if he's having a gushing nosebleed in his head. 'Good, he isn't paying attention; I'll watch him from a tree above him.' I began scheming quietly in my head to do a minor stalking session.

I quickly jump up a near tree, trying to be as silent as I can be, so not to get Naruto to notice. I hope that he is standing beneath and find a comfortable branch. Obviously I hadn't been quiet enough because Naruto stares straight up at me so I try to do my usual glare back, but I struggled to even do that. And now he's running from me. Why?

"Naruto! Wait! Come back!" He doesn't listen to my orders and continues to run. Looks like the raven has to chase a fox. "Wait up!" I see him look over his shoulder at me, but shows no sign of stopping. I am able to see his hands as he begins to make signs. The shadow clone jutsu. Now ten orange jacketed blonde boys are running in front of me, but I which is the true one. I've seen him perform this jutsu a million times before so I already know how he distributes his chakra. I quickly take care of the nine clones; leaving me where I was before chasing the real Naruto. Now tired of playing this game, I speed up and I get above the blonde. My opportunity to pounce is upon me.

I free fall quickly on to Naruto and I grasp his shoulders as we fall to the ground so I can easily pin the boy once we hit the earth. We land with a louder than expected thud and I quickly gain control of the situation. He is in a slight daze, as far as I can tell, so I shake him a bit before slamming him back into the ground. I'm straddling him and try not to get aroused by the bulge from Naruto against one of my legs.

"Why were you staring?!" I demandingly yell at him. He gives me a slightly blank stare; he's fantasizing. I can see it in his eyes... Again, I slam him into the ground now snapping him out of his dazed state.

"I wasn't staring!" He begins to wiggle loss, I just let him go.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he doesn't have a thing for me. Maybe he just isn't ready to admit his feelings. Ugh. I almost give on all my feeling for the dumb blonde.

I get up from my knees and brush off the dirt from my body as well as wiping off some sweat. I stop in my tracks questioning myself if I should go and once again, chase the blonde, but decide not to. I go and get my jacket and shirt from where I had been training.

Training with you.

I ponder the situation as I walk home, my shirt and jacket over my shoulder. It's cool out this night and there is a slight breeze. I begin to let my guard down, listening to the sounds of the night: a few birds, rustling of leaves.

I catch a glimpse of Garra leaning up against a tree. It's almost as if we are speaking telepathically and he is saying to me "I know. I know the answers you seek. I know what you feel. Confess." My head begins to throb and shooting pains flow through my chakra channels. Garra laughs off near me and begins to speak like a snake.

"Hey Sasuke. Looking sexy for Naruto." He began to choke on his laughs with a crazed look in his eyes. "I know... Everything!" Again, I see him struggling and him trying to redeem control of himself. He gain control of himself and was breathing heavily, slightly sweating. I watched it all with a horrified expression.

"What are you looking at? Why are you here?" His statement confused me. Had he not known what he has just said?

"Nothing... I must go." I sprint home and quickly take a shower and try to get some rest. But that night, I lay wide awake, thinking of Naruto and what Garra had said.
