I've been thinking of updating this story three times a week. I already got the whole story done so I don't really have anything to loose with updating three times a week. But I want your opinion.

Chapter three
Naruto looked over to his best friend, Sasuke's dark eyes were elsewhere. He never knew what goes on in that brilliant mind of his best friend, but he seemed in a deeper thoughts than normal now. Sasuke's eyes always been on the road they walked on, but now they looked towards the houses on the other street. The blond didn't understand what his best friend was doing, but he seemed more distance than normal.
"Have you slept bad or something?" the blond asked friendly, trying to hide his concern. Dark eyes turned towards him for a second, before opening his mouth to reply.
"It's nothing that you need to care about" the dark haired replied in a flat tone, blue eyes looked in his best friends once before both of them lost eye contact. He was still unsure if he should trust Sasuke, after all he could be lying.
"Are you sure? Because you are acting weird" he responded with concern, trying to get Sasuke to answer the question.
"I'm not acting weird, you are just image it" the raven said as he tried to avoid Naruto's eyes. He leaned forward a little, trying to get a look on Sasuke's eyes.
"I don't think I do. You are never this quiet on ordinary days" Naruto said as he saw Sasuke's black eyes stare into his own for a second before both of them broke the eye contact again.
"Are you even slower today dobe? I'm fine, nothing to get your thoughts in a twist for" Naruto saw their school starting to get closer, he felt a stone sink in his stomach. He felt Sasuke's eyes on him for a second before he faked a smile and a little chuckle.
"I can see through your fake smiles, I thought you knew that. Stop with the fake smiles" Sasuke said, leaving Naruto's eyes widen before he re thought again.
"Teme!" Naruto said with a true smile as he walked beside him.
"I didn't know you were left-handed Sasuke-kun" Sakura said friendly as she stared at Sasuke's left hand writing on the paper white paper.
"I can use both of my right and left hand" the stoic boy replied simply concentrated at what he was writing. Naruto looked at Sakura's eyes bright looking at Sasuke. Sasuke's dark ones didn't even look at her once.
"I've read about that before, it's called ambidexterity. The way you can use both hands without a problem, right?" the pink haired explained with a little smile on her glossy lips.
"Ambiksity what?" the blond asked surprised with rise eyebrows, not even trying to say it right. He saw Sakura roll her eyes slightly at him.
"Ambidexterity. Sasuke can use both of his hands equality, and that's called ambidexterity" Sakura explained with a little smile.
"I am left-handed but I been never called myself being able to use both hands without a problem" Sasuke responded slightly annoyed, as he still wrote down his notes of the class.
"So you're aren't that thingy? I've seen you use both, like when you eat a tomato you use your left hand. But sometimes I've seen you use your right, can't remember now though" the blond said as he let a hand rest on his chin, still trying to remember when he last saw Sasuke use his right hand.
"Stop thinking about it, you won't remember anything. You barely remember what you ate yesterday" the Uchiha said as he broke the blonds thoughts.
"I do remember what I ate yesterday!" both Sasuke and Sakura raised their eyebrows for a moment that put the blond into a stress " I ate fish with rice!" he said loudly, as the other two raised their eyebrows even slightly more.
"You made that up Naruto, you are such a bad lair" Sakura said annoyed as she still had her eyebrows raised at the stalemate.
"I didn't make it up! Tell her Sasuke" he asked his best friend with large eyes for help, who didn't seem to care much about Naruto.
"Why are you asking Sasuke-kun? He won't help you" the pink haired replied simply and with a annoyed tone.
"He knows when I lie, I'm sure he does!" the blond responded proudly to the girl smiling with big teeth showing.
"Tell me three truths and one lie and I and Sasuke-kun will guess which ones a lie and which that are truths" Sakura challenged him with a stronger tone "Are you in Sasuke-kun?" she looked over to Sasuke who for the first time in five minutes looked up from his paper.
"Please Sasuke!" the blond said with bright eyes pleading.
"Fine" the raven replied. "But think really hard about the lie, otherwise it will be easy to see which one is the lie or the ones the truths" the black haired replied. Naruto nodded and let a hand slip to his chin, as he began to think for a moment.
"I got it!" he said with a smile as the other two looked at him before he opened up his mouth.
"I wanted a fox when I was a child" he said firstly "I've seen Sasuke naked" he said secondly that made both widen eyes " I sleep very lightly and it's very annoying" he finished with a smile. Both of them with a little blush on their cheeks.
"I think you lied with seeing Sasuke-kun naked" Sakura said with a little embarrassing tone.
"What do you think Sasuke-teme?" the blond asked his friend with a confident smile.
"That you sleep very lightly, you sleep very heavily" the raven replied sending Sakura a bit of a blush on her pale skin.
"Sasuke was right, told you he knew it when I lie" the blond said as Sakura's blush began to deepen slightly more. The blond let out a little laugh at Sakura's reaction, she must be so shocked.
"You should look at yourself Sakura-chan! You look so shocked!" he said with a grin that showed his teeth and a chuckle.
"I didn't expect that to happen, that's just it" Sakura replied with the little blush still on her cheeks.
"I don't get the big deal, it's not like I don't have parts he doesn't" the blond responded with a light tone.
Naruto with the two of his friends walked the hall, he walked pass the red haired girl. He turned around to look at her, they made eye contact and from that moment on. Naruto knew that they would never get along, he didn't like her at all. Not the sharp eyes, or the looks she gave Sasuke. They broke the eye contact as they walked the opposite way, and he was sure that she felt the same way he did.
"What are you doing there Naruto baka? You will get late to class" Naruto looked at Sakura, who had her books tightly against her chest as she eyed him before walking into the classroom. Naruto didn't see Sasuke's looking at him more than needed.
"I won't be late Sakura-chan!" he said before he began to jog to the classroom with light feet. He walked in to the classroom, seeing Sasuke already taken his originally place leaving the window seat. He smiled slightly at it before walking to his seat.
He saw the teacher walking in and he sat down on the uncomfortable chair before the teacher walked to the board and began to write. He was already elsewhere before the teacher even began to say something, he couldn't get out that red haired out of his head. She seemed so familiar to him, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Dobe, try to listen to class" he heard Sasuke say low. He let out a little groan before he tired to listen to class, it didn't take long before he started thinking of something else.
The red haired girl was in the hall again talking for once with Sasuke, but Naruto tried not get seen by her. In fact he was hiding. She spoke with Sasuke, her red lips moving as she looked at Sasuke. The blond tried to see more, but from the distance he couldn't make out more than he could now. She was in the same length as Sasuke, perhaps a little bit shorter. Sasuke looked a little bothered looking anywhere but on Karin. Naruto decided that it was enough watching for him.
Naruto began to walk fast towards them, as the red haired gave Sasuke a note in his hand which Sasuke didn't seem pleased with. The blond came close enough for both of them to notice him, with a fake smile he moved closer to them.
"Hey Teme, you should stop staring at your hand" he joked, as he eyed the note in the pale hand. He opened up his locker "what lesson do we have now?" he added as he looked in his messy locker.
"Check the schedule dobe" the raven said, the blond turned to them. Seeing the red haired still being there bothered him. His eyes grew hard as he looked at her.
"I need to head to class too, bye Sasuke-kun" the red haired said looking softer than her gaze landed on the raven before sending the blond a hard one. The girl began to walk and the blond looked at her turning left and disappearing. He heard Sasuke's locker close and he turned fast to him.
"What did she want?" the blond asked curious as they began to walk to their classroom.
"She just talked to me, she said she was new and just wanted to talk to someone" Blue eyes widen as he looked over to his friend.
"What did you reply?" He opened up the classroom door and held it open as his friend walked inside. The smell of Sasuke's perfym came in his nose.
"I just talked to her" Sasuke said firmly as he walked to his seat, the blond following him "Since when do you care so much about it?" the Uchiha added as he took out his chair and sat down. Naruto doing the same movement.
"I just asked, it's not often you talk to a girl before you glare them to death" the blond said "Did she tell her name?" he added.
"Her name is Karin" Blue eyes tried to see any more reaction as Sasuke said the name.
Naruto followed Sasuke as he opened his door, the Uchihas clean home was nothing compared to the Uzumaki-Namazake household. He wasn't surprised not at all, he knew the Uchihas too well to get shocked. But he pulled off his converse and saw Sasuke walking to the kitchen, he pulled off his jacket and hanged it on the hanger.
"Where are Mikito-san?" he asked as he saw Sasuke walking into the leaving room for a second before he walked to Naruto again.
"I don't know, she's away" Naruto grabbed his school bag as Sasuke looked at him for a moment before turning to the stairs "Come on, lets get this over with" he added.
Naruto knew the way to Sasuke's room in auto pilot, something he had done since he was a child. He followed into the room, the comfortable air around them made Naruto softly smiling. He didn't like studying but Sasuke explaining was fun to hear, mostly because Sasuke often lost his patients.
He sat on the soft bed as it moved up and down slightly as he open his backpack and grabbed the chemistry books. Sasuke sat on his chair that stood in fort of the table with a bright lamp shining on the papers. He looked a little at his friend, before he leaned backwards. The soft bed was warm and he wanted to be there for a moment more.
Naruto closed his eyes slightly, as he felt himself getting sleepy. He really like Sasuke's bed, it smelled a bit like him. The musky smell but still quite fresh. He didn't realize how tired he was before he actually laid in a bed, and he felt himself getting heavier as each deep breath he took.
"Dobe" the blond hummed in reply as he took a pillow bind and held it tight over his stomach. He closed his eyes and hugged the pillow. He closed his eyes and tightly rapped himself around the pillow.
"Get away from there" the blond ignored it as he laid his head over the pillow. "We need to study, or you will fail all your classes" he couldn't care less of someone said. If he wanted to sleep, he sure will. It grew silent for a moment and he could fall asleep for once.
"Naruto, you need to get up" the blond heard a voice say from some kind of distance. HE slowly open up his eyes, before he shut them quickly. He could sleep a bit more. He felt so comfortable in Sasuke's bed, it was warm and he felt safe in it.
"Dobe!" he blinked his eyes open at the loud voice as he saw a figure sit on the chair. His eyes grew sharp he saw Sasuke sitting on the chair where Naruto last saw him.
"Why did you wake me up? I wanted to sleep more" he mumbled sleepy as he rubbed his eyes with his hand.
"You wanted my help to study, I let you sleep for fifteen minutes" Dark eyes looked at him "Come on, you need my help" in a few lazy movements he sat down on the chair.
"I really wanted my sleep bastard" he muttered to his friend.
"You should sleep at night, when you should be asleep" his friend replied.
"I couldn't sleep, I had nightmares. Good luck sleeping with those always waking you up" Naruto answered in a low tone. Sasuke was one of the few that knew that Naruto had nightmares. They had a sleep over and Naruto began to cry in his sleep so much that Sasuke woke him up. Naruto explained it all and felt more relived afterwards.
"I thought you didn't have them anymore" dark eyes looked at him from the corner of his eye in interest.
"I don't" he replied short "Not as much as before, but they come sometime" blue eyes looked at the slim fingers gripping the pen. It was silent for a moment, before Sasuke opened up his mouth slightly.
"What didn't you understand in chemistry again?" Sasuke changed the subject which made Naruto a little warm inside. Sasuke knew him quite well after all.
"I want to study English, I don't get the grammar thing" the blond suggested instead with a little smile.
"what doesn't you get in English then?" a dark eyebrow raised as he asked.
"It's all the grammar thing, I don't get it" the blond explained simply "Like was and were and all that kind of stuff" he added.
The dark haired began to write something on the white paper, when the blond looked over he saw it was English words. He couldn't see much because Sasuke's forearm was a little cover. Naruto didn't really understand what Sasuke was doing but he had a feeling that it wasn't all that great.
"We start with were and was" Sasuke gestured that Naruto will watch the paper. Sasuke's pretty handwriting showing the grammar.
"Try to read this and tell me when you are done" Blue eyes took the paper, as he tried to repeat it in his mind.
Naruto read it mufti times, before he let out a groan. "I don't wanna do this anymore" he complained loudly. Sasuke turned to look at him with slightly rise eyebrows. "You were the one that wanted this"
"I know but I changed my mind about it!" the blond laid his back against the chair looking restless.
"You suggested it, you better learn it" the dark haired replied with an annoying undertone. The blond looked over to his friend.
"I have learned it! I can it now, so can we get this over with?" Sasuke took the paper and looked at Naruto and the paper.
"You don't mind me asking you then? I quote "I were" is that the right form?" Naruto sat up on his chair as he tried to think about it.
"No?" he said in an unsure tone.
"Which promos goes with were?" Naruto blinked a few times. He had two choices, I and all that or we and all that. He read it a few times in his mind, seeing what fitted right.
"We, they and that" the blond replied as he met the eyes of his friend.
"You had right, with both. I'm surprised, Dobe" the raven responded and Naruto smiled happily.
"Yes! Told you I learned it, Teme!" he said loudly with a smile. Naruto's phone buzzed a little in his pants pocket and he took it out.
I'm making ramen tonight, be home in fifteen minutes Mom He read and he message back that he would be there. He looked up at Sasuke slightly.
"Mom wants me home soon, she's making ramen" he said as he stretched out his arms over his head.
"We can finish the teaching today, you did a good job" the raven said that brought Naruto a smile on his lips.
"I told you, and you did a good job teaching teme" Naruto said as he stood up from his chair, the raven did the same.
Naruto took his backpack and opened up the door out of Sasuke's room and ran down the stairs with light steps. He smiled as he saw Itachi stand there, his dark bangs slightly in his face. Itachi looked much older since Naruto last saw him, over a month. The dark lines that started in the inner corner of his eye to the side of the cheek seemed more defined than ever.
"Hello Naruto-kun, I see you've been with Sasuke" Itachi said with a little smile.
"Yeah, he helped me study a bit" Naruto replied friendly as he saw Sasuke walking down the stairs.
"You seem to fit as a good teacher little brother" the oldest of them said a little teasing tone.
"I just need to get Naruto to listen and quite it Itachi. You aren't funny" Sasuke replied with a little roll on his eyes.
"I'm just saying. You two seems closer than ever" Itachi responded. Naruto missed the playful eyes that Itachi sent Sasuke.
"We are best friends, what did you expect?" the blond raised an eyebrow as the elder looked at him.
"Of course, you two just seems to be closer than normally" he looked at the dark haired for a moment.
"It's none of your business Itachi, let him be" Sasuke said before Naruto had time to open his mouth. His phone buzzed and he looked at the message quickly looked at it before he moved to the hall taking his shoes.
"Mom wants me home, I forgot the time" he said quickly with a smile, as he tied his shoes quickly and grabbed his backpack "Nice seeing you Itachi. See you tomorrow Sasuke!" he said before he opened the door fast and closed before he began to run home in high speed.
