Chapter 2: Days without him

After three days Kakashi came back. He told us that tomorrow we will have a long mission, so he recommended to take a rest. I used this day to relax and get ready for tomorrow´s mission. After the practice I came home and took a bath. While I was sitting in the bathtub, my thoughts were full with Sasuke, like always. I was wondering how is he doing, is he alright or maybe is he injured?

"Sasuke are you thinking on me like I am thinking of you now?"

It has been 4 days since Sasuke has left me alone. I shook my head.

"I can't think about him now. Tomorrow I have a mission so I must be prepared for it both physically and mentally." With these words I came out from the bathtub and went to the bed. Like every night also tonight I was dreaming about him. In the morning when I woke up, I looked at the clock. (FUCK!) I overslept. So in hurry I dressed up and ate my breakfast.

When I came to the place where I usually meet with the others, I was glad, that Kakashi wasn't there yet.

I was used to see everyday Sasuke´s arrogant, haughty face, but for me he is not an arrogant bastard anymore. He is the person I love with all my heart and soul. But now he wasn't there, just Sakura. I was somehow disappointed.

"Hi Naruto, long time no see you."

"Hi Sakura, Four days is a very long time. " We both smiled on each other.

"Have you seen Sasuke in the last days? Because I can't find him. "

"The last time I saw him was 4 days ago, when he came to tell me about Kakashi´s leaving. Since then, I haven't seen him."

"This is so strange. He wasn't like that."

Yeah I agree with you." I just could agree what Sakura said, because every time, when he went somewhere he told Kakashi or us about it. But this time it was different. While we were talking about him, Kakashi finally arrived.

"Hi guys. Sorry for my lateness, but I came home late yesterday and I was so tired and exhausted that I have overslept."

"Kakashi- sensei do you know anything about Sasuke?" She asked him in high hopes, that he maybe will know something. But he said that he doesn't know anything about him.

"Why? Something happened between you guys?"

"Not really. But before he left he wrote me a letter in which he told me that he had to go on a long-term mission which will last 6-8 months."

"That sounds interesting. " Kakashi said. I looked at his face. He got very excited about something, but I couldn't explain myself about what.

Then he came closer to me, put his hand on my shoulder and whispered in my ears, so Sakura couldn't hear it.

"Naruto after this mission I want to have a talk with you about you and Sasuke."

"This is none of your business, Kakashi."

"Don't be so rude Naruto, after the mission I invite you to eat so many ramens as you please." Then he walked away with a perverted smile on his face.

(Kakashi you perverted jounin!)He knows me to well and he knows how to persuade me to tell him what he wants to know. But if he started to ask stupid questions about our relationship I swear I will punch his face.

"Good. Now we have a new mission." Kakashi explained to us what is this mission about.

"It will be two days until we reached the village, but I must warn you on the way we can meet some bandits so we must be careful."

And so we went on the mission. We had to deliver a scroll for a rich family in the next village.

Fortunately, on the way there we didn't meet any bandits so we safely arrived there. They were very grateful that we brought the scroll. They offered us to stay here for the night. We agreed. It was an offer we could not turn down, because we were tired from the journey and it would have been dangerous if we wanted to go back. Thank God, that I got a room just for me. I was afraid that I should have to been in one room with Kakashi. I had a bath, where I could little rest after these two days. After the bath I went directly into the bed. Again I was dreaming about Sasuke and the time we spent together. This dream was so wonderful I wished that this dream would never end. The next morning we said good bye to the family and thanked for their hospitality.

When we came back from the mission Kakashi invited me and Sakura to a ramen bar. Sakura thanked him, but she couldn't come with us, because she had to something other plans for today. So in the end just me and Kakashi went to eat some ramen. When we arrived at my favourite place, we sat down and Kakashi ordered. After that he looked directly in my eyes.

"Naruto on the last mission with Sasuke you two acted like you would kill each other and now after he left are you worried about him ? " Kakashi asked me because he wanted to know the reason why I have changed my mind about Sasuke.

In that moment the waitress brought me my favourite food-ramen. Kakashi waited until i finished eating.

"Naruto you haven't answered my question." He told it with so much impatience in his voice that it couldn't be true. He really wanted to know the truth. I knew it, that I have to tell him the truth, but I didn't really know how to do that.

"Kakashi you know... it´s not easy to tell you about that..." My face was all red and he recognized that. With a smile on his face he showed me to continue.

"I admit that, when I first met him he was an arrogant, haughty, heartless bastard, who used another people just for his entertainment. But when I realized his true himself my feelings for him have totally changed. And when he came to my house and he confessed to me I totally fell in love with him..."

I saw on Kakashi´s face that he is really enjoying this. But I didn't. I was totally ashamed. My face was red like a tomato.

"If I am right then you fell in love with him and you are worried about him and that´s why you are acting so strange?"

"You hit the nail on the head."

"Don't worry Naruto. Sasuke will come back soon. I am sure about it."

I was surprised. Why he is so sure about it? Sometimes I seriously don't get him.

After we sat there quietly for more than 20 minutes I decided to ask him about Iruka - sensei and him.

"Kakashi – sensei can I ask you something?"

He was a little surprised but then he nodded.

"Yes of course. What do you want to know?"

"It is true that you and Iruka - sensei have something together?" He was shocked, where on earth I could hear about them? Then he calmed down and said.

"Naruto you are not a child any more. But I warn you if you tell anybody about that I can't guarantee your safety!" I looked at him and just nodded. If looks could kill I will be definitely be dead by now for sure.

"Yes. I must admit that I am in love with Iruka-sensei. He is my beloved prince. He is the person I love the most. "

I was shocked. My eyes widened. I have never ever thought that they could be together. But if I think about it seriously, I am not so surprised about it, because I had the feeling that Kakashi has some feelings for him. He spent too much with him together. Finally I understood why he was always being late.

"Don't say that it is because of Iruka - sensei, that you are always late. "

"I admit it. In 80% cases, I was late because of him."

"I have a deal for you, if you don't tell anything about me and Sasuke I won't say anything about you and Iruka - sensei. Ok?"

"Ok. We made a deal." We shook our hands as a proof of our deal.

In the end it wasn't so bad dinner with Kakashi. However he wanted to know some details about my night with Sasuke, but I didn't say anything. That perverted jounin.

On the way home I was thinking about Kakashi and Iruka -sensei and I must say, they fit together and finally Iruka - sensei found someone who loves him, but Kakashi is known for his perverted side, so I feel so sorry for Iruka - sensei... But then I thought on Sasuke and the time we spend together.

"Sasuke I miss you so much. Come home quickly. I will be waiting for you." With those words I came home, took a bath and went to sleep.

Every three days we had a mission so I didn't realize that it was almost five months that Sasuke left me...
