Pairing: Naruto/Sasuke

Summary: SasuNaru.

Warning: AU, mild shounen-ai hints

Note: I'm calling this AU because I know that the Kyuubi sounds like a guy in the anime, but I also checked it's stats, and it's genderless (apparently). Beside the point anyway. In my story, Kyuubi no Kitsune is female, because I said so and it works (especially in SasuNaru fics!)

Beta'd by: Myself! I might get it beta'd by Mel-chan later, but she gone to bed now :(

Last chapter: "Dobe, we need to talk."

The blonde nodded cautiously, his friend seemed a little different to how he was normally. The Uchiha turned abruptly and strode back the way he had come, a small flick of his head indicating that he wanted Naruto to follow.

After a brief moment of indecision, the blonde trailed after the dark haired boy.

Careful kit, he smells suspicious.

Naruto halted his progress and eyed his friend warily. The said friend noticed that the blonde was no longer following him and turned to face the other boy.

"What's wrong, dobe?"

Naruto seemed to snap out of his thoughts, and shook his head. "Nothing. Nothing's wrong with me." He started walking again, until he was slightly behind the Uchiha.

The pair walked in silence until Sasuke came to an abrupt halt, causing Naruto to bump into his back. The blonde, whose gaze had been on the floor for the whole time, quickly took in his surroundings and found them to be standing outside Ichikaru's ramen stall.

Sasuke studied the blonde's face for a few moments before a soft smile graced his features. "Hungry?"

"Ok, spill, who did you lose a bet to? Was it Kiba? I swear I'm gonna kill that dog boy for messing me and my friends around. Why does me alwa-mmph!" Naruto would have continued happily on except that during his rant, he had failed to notice Sasuke getting closer.

The dark haired boy reluctantly removed his hand from his friend's mouth. No sooner had he done so, a flash of red appeared within the cerulean depths of Naruto's eyes and the boy turned and fled back in the direction of his apartment.

As soon as the blonde was within the walls of his apartment, the Kyuubi relaxed control of his body.

Sorry about running for you, I can't stand the smell of panic.

"What… on earth…. Did Sasuke just do?" He was so gentle.

He put his hand over your mouth.

"But why? He normally just tells me to shut up."

I don't know, kit. I just don't know.
