Such A Strong Word
A/n: Hi! I am going to try and make this an eventful chapter. I can't really explain where I want to go. I'll just let my mind wander. ENJOY!

Something smelt good. Delicious even. Naruto stretched like a cat and stood up. He could hear noises in the kitchen and followed the scent.
Sasuke was making rice and miso soup. Naruto drooled slightly.
Sasuke heard his tired steps and smiled at Naruto. "Hungry?" Naruto only nodded and sat at the long table.
Sasuke placed a bowl in front of Naruto and sat with one in his hands.
Naruto smiled and devoured his quickly. Sasuke slowly ate his, a smirk playing on the corner of his mouth.
After they both had three bowls, a small knock and a hello entered the room. Sasuke walked to the door and opened it slightly. Tsunade and Kakashi stood there, smiling. "Sasuke! Is Naruto in there?"
Hearing his name, Naruto ran to the door and hugged her. "Baa-chan!"
She scowled and hit his head. "Don't call me that brat!" Naruto stuck out his tongue, and then started a conversation about ramen.
Kakashi slipped through and pulled Sasuke aside. "Has he told you anything yet?" He shook his head. "Nothing. He seems very reluctant to tell me." Kakashi nodded. "All I know is that his mother is dead. She died giving birth to him. But… no one found out until a few years ago. The Fourth didn't know either."
Sasuke pursed his lips. "That's interesting. So Naruto didn't find her. What happened then?" Kakashi shrugged. "Only Naruto can tell us. And that may not be for awhile."
"So Naruto, did you find what you were looking for? What was it? Your mother?" Tsunade asked. Naruto flinched. "Um, n-no. I didn't." "That's a shame. Did you find anything of importance though?" He shook his head.
"SO!" Kakashi said, hooking his arm around Naruto's shoulders. "Did you miss us a lot?" "Yes." "Especially Sasuke right?" He winked and Naruto flushed.
Sasuke sighed. "It's still pretty early and Naruto's tired. Can he see you tomorrow Hokage-sama?" Tsunade nodded. "Ah, well. Be in my office a 6 am, Naruto." He stuck out his tongue again.
With them gone, Sasuke sat next to Naruto on the sofa. "Are you tired?"
Naruto smiled. "Nope." Naruto leaned over onto Sasuke's shoulder. Sasuke blushed, pulling Naruto closer. "You're warm." "I think you are tired." "Nuh uh."
Sasuke smiled as he felt Naruto relax even more. "Naruto?" "Hmm?"
"I…know you don't want to tell me, but I want to know what happened. I need to know what happened." Naruto stiffened. "Sasuke… I can't." Sasuke held Naruto tighter. "Why?" Naruto rubbed at his eyes. "Because you'll, y-you'll hate m-me."
"No I won't Naruto. I won't. You know I won't." "But you will. You will."
Sasuke's shirt was becoming damp with his tears. "Stop crying, Angel. Please."
He hiccupped a few times before he looked up at Sasuke. "You'll hate me. Everyone will hate me. And the ones who hate me now will hate me even more."
Sasuke wiped his cheek with his thumb. "Please tell me. I don't hate you, but I do hate that I can't help you. Please tell me." Naruto breathed in shakily. "I… you already know about Kyuubi. But, that bond changed. We…merged. And now Kyuubi is a separate being of pure chakra."
Sasuke's eyes widened a bit. "So, the Kyuubi is free?" "Not necessarily. We're still linked. He's, in the woods right now." "Really?" Naruto nodded.
"Why would you think that I would hate you for that Naruto? You couldn't control that." Naruto buried his face in Sasuke's chest.
"It wouldn't have happened if someone hadn't preformed the jutsu."
"Who?" Naruto shook his head frantically. "I can't tell you. I can't." Sasuke patted his hair back. "Alright. But you will have to tell Tsunade."
"No. Not even her." Sasuke sighed. "Fine. Go back to sleep. Your chakra reserve is still low." Naruto nodded and sat in Sasuke's lap. "Stay." He kissed Sasuke softly on the lips and closed his eyes.
Sasuke leaned his head back. Why wouldn't he tell him? How could he possibly think that he would hat him? HOW? He closed his eyes and lay down on his side, Naruto covering him like a blanket.
"No matter what you think Angel, I'll never hate you."

A/N:( holds face in hands) That was horrible. I got stuck and couldn't trace my thoughts. GRRRRR! I'm sorry if it was really bad. And it's short. ARGH! Thanks for reading, even if my 5 yr old cousin can do much better.
