I'm back! Here is chapter 2. Hope you like it.

Dislcaimer. Don't own the book series Wheel of Time, that belongs to Robert Jordan and pas moi. Still don't own Naruto.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Finally I make it home. How, I don't know. And right now I don't feel like being with anyone; Iruka-sensei included. See, normally when I have a mission to go on, he'll take me out for some ramen. And just my luck, guess who's waiting for me at my front door? Putting on my happy mask, I go over to him. I really hope that my happy smile reaches my eyes as well. Thank Kami 'cause it must have worked, since he hasn't gone into mother-hen-mode, asking me what was wrong. Iruka-sensei asks me if I am ready to go and get some ramen. Now, I really hate the fact that I have to lie to him right now, but I tell him that we are leaving early tomorrow morning and I still have to pack and stuff. I tell him I will have to take a rain check. (hmm run on sentence, I chopped it up a bit for yeh) He understands, saying with a chuckle that that was fine and we'd have ramen when I get back from Suna. I, of course, agree, and he bids me goodbye with a hug.

As I make my way into my apartment, I decide what I should pack. No, I'll just pack in the morning like I had planned on doing in the first place. I am just too damn lazy to do it now. After having a shower and a snack, I check my alarm clock before going to sleep: yup it's set. I head off to bed.

Damn that teme! I curse him as I get into bed. Why did he do that to me? Not like he knows how I feel about him, and at this rate he will never know. Hopefully he'll never know too. With Kami on my side, maybe I won't dream of him tonight. I really hope I don't. 'Cause I know that I will have a hard enough time facing him after seeing what I saw tonight. Hell, it will be hard enough facing Neji as well. But at least with Neji it won't hurt as much, since my feelings for him are not the same as they are with Sasuke.

Kami help me tonight, please!

Deciding I will never fall a sleep at this rate. I head into the living room and to read. Hopefully this will make me tired enough to fall asleep. As I settle down to read my book, someone knocks at my door. Curiosity getting the better of me, I head off to the door. Looking through the peep-hole, I see that it is him. Thinking he wants something important I let him in. After shutting the door, he grabs me and kisses me. Shock was the only thing I felt.

Next thing I know we are headed to my bed, kissing like mad, clothes flying everywhere. I barely realize that we are at the bed, till my legs hit it.

We gracefully fall onto it, finally breaking the kiss. I think I'm dreaming as he stares at me with lust filled eyes that only he can produce. I moan again as he places butterfly kisses on my face and neck. I moan as his hands roam my body. While trailing behind them are his lips, kissing every inch of flesh in sight.

I watch with lust filled eyes as he places kisses down my chest, stomach, then up both thighs. As he finally takes a hold of my erection, he stares at me as he slowly starts to place it in his...

I wake with a start. Dammit, not again! What have I done now to make Kami hate me that much? I really don't know. How many times now has it been that I've had that dream? Truthfully I have lost count, and at this point I really don't care anymore. Great, looks like I won't be getting anymore sleep tonight, so might as well get up. Oh lovely, what a wonderful sight to wake up to. First things first, must deal with my little problem. A really cold shower and a firm hand will take care of that. After I having my shower and getting dressed, I note that I have to change my bed sheets. After changing my bedding, I decide to pack before having breakfast. Packing finally done, now I can eat.

This morning I decide to make myself something other than ramen. Yes, I do eat food other than ramen. Looking in my fridge I find only a couple of eggs, about 2/3 of a litre of milk, and 6 slices of bacon left. So for breakfast this morning, I made myself some scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and a nice glass of milk. What, who said I don't know how to eat healthy? After I eat, I clean up after myself and throw out what else I have left in my fridge. I know I won't be gone long, but I think most of this stuff has already had the biscuit. It just means I have to do some shopping when I get back.

A quick glance at my clock, I see I have, oh, about an hour and half before I have to be at the bridge. I walk over to my bag, grab it and place it by the door. Now it is ready for when I leave. Now to kill time. Walking back into the living room, I head to the bookshelves to grab the book I have been reading for a couple of days now. Almost 3/4 done, I look up at the clock and I am shocked to see I have about 5 minutes to get to the bridge. Damn you Robert Jordan! Now I have to take my book 'Winters Heart" with me, just to find out what happens at the end. Wondering what kind of trouble Mat will get himself into this time. (AN - Who would of thought Naruto be a lover of fantasy books? This is sad, I made Naruto get farther in this book than I have. I haven't made it past the damn prologue yet. Must read more of itXP Also as you can see, I made him a Mat fan as well. Mat is the best character in the book! Ok done.)

Grabbing my bag, I rush out the door and lock it. I finally make it to the bridge, only to see I am not the last one there. As I stand there trying to catch my breath, I see Lee coming up the same path I just came up from. Even though I was in such a rush to get here, I made myself pretend that I had seen nothing the night before; even if that means ignoring Sasuke for awhile. Now all we have to do is wait for can you guess who? Yes you guessed it, Kakashi-sensei. I swear that man needs a watch or something.

Two hours later, Kakashi finally arrives telling us that he was late because he was talking to the Hokage. This is one of the only times Sakura and I didn't call him a liar, since who is walking beside him? but the Hokage. Tsunada relays us some more instructions on the mission as we walk to the southern gate. We head out for Suna, with Tsunada seeing us off.

After stopping for the night. Neji comes over to me, asking if there is something wrong with me. Yeah, like I'll tell him the truth. Please give me some credit, I'm not as dumb as people think I am. I just tell him I didn't get enough sleep last night. He nods at me and says that he is willing to take my watch, since it's after his. I accept his offer and, in return, offer to take his watch tomorrow night if he wants me to. He nods in agreement and walks over to talk with Lee and Tenten.

Chores handed out, I watch Lee and Neji head off to retrieve fire wood, Sasuke and Sukura to get food and more water. Leaving myself and Tenten to put up the 4 tents for the night. Finally the others return and they start getting supper ready. When ready we gather around the fire. Stating I am not all that hungry, I decide to just have a bar that I put in my bag last night. After eating my bar I get up, telling them I'm heading for bed since I didn't have a good sleep last night, and that Neji has agreed to take my watch tonight. After crawling into the tent, I change for bed. Just as I finish getting into bed and I start to close my eyes, teme comes into the tent. I swear I hear him say my name with a strange emotion, but I can't be sure, as sleep has already to cloud my mind.

As I wake up, I realize that I don't remember having that dream and I'm grateful that I didn't. Seeing as it is still early and knowing I won't fall back asleep no matter how hard I try, I get up and get dressed. Before leaving the tent I re-pack my bag; not noticing the dark, lust filled, charcoals eyes of Sasuke staring at me. Seeing Kakashi-sensei sitting around the fire reading his Ichi Ichi Paradise, knowing full well he has sensed me. I realize that he must have had the last watch. Walking up to him, I tell him I will be willing to go off to gather some more wood for the fire. After getting back I see that he is still alone, I decide to go and catch breakfast for everyone. Now this time as I return with breakfast, I see everyone is awake and packing up the site. Breakfast eaten and cleaned up, we head out on the rest of our journey.

I figure it is a little after 3 in the morning by the time we make to the border of Fire and Sand country. Taking a vote, we decide to head through the desert now, rather than having to deal with the hot, afternoon sun. As our goal comes into sight, we all feel relieved; now we will soon be out of the hot, Suna sun. Making our way to the Kazekage tower, we take in the sights and sounds of Suna. Everyone in their own mind deciding how to make the best of our stay here.
