Disclaimers: Do I have to say that I don't own Naruto?
Author's notes: Thank you a lot for the reviews! I appreciate it all! Anyway, about how Sasuke looked confused when Fei and Hoshi stood in front of Naruto... Fei and Hoshi were both clad in a dark cloak with their face covered in the shadows so he didn't see their faces. And he just though that they were just wanderers that passed by the village. At the next scene, the cloaks were already gone and their faces and hitaite can be seen. There. I hope that it cleared up a bit. Prepare for major OOC-ness!
Chapter 3:
"Mou! Naruto-san, why is it when some action is going on you always make us stop?" Hoshi complained as they walked though the dark streets of Konoha. Naruto merely smiled.
Fei crossed her arms. "Let's make this thought clear. Who was that guy? It seems like you're angry with him."
Naruto shook his head. "No. He was my former comrade. My former teammate."
The two other genins decided to leave the topic be. As they reached the hotel, they got their room, and placed their stuff down.
"Hmp. At least we get a bed." Fei said as she sat down on the bed that was far across the window of the room. Hoshi sat down cross-legged on his own bed on the corner. "It's fine. This is a hidden hotel after all."
"Guys, I'm going out." Lighting and thunder suddenly showed up from outside the window as it started to rain hard, letting a few light enter the dim room.
"Well Naruto-niisan, it seems that the weather does not approve." Fei said as she leaned on the frame of the window.
Naruto shook his head and got out his black cloak. "No matter. I'm going."
With that, Naruto closed the door and went on his way, not minding the harsh rain pouring on him.
Walking slowly under the rain, he took a glance at the red bridge where team seven used to meet. He smiled. "It hasn't changed a bit. Just a few fallen leaves here and there because of the wind." Naruto thought as he continued his walk.
Half an hour passed since he started his rain walk. He passed by Ichiraku, Sakura house, Iruka's house, the Hyuuga's house, the hokage monument, and heck! He even passed by his former apartment.
Walking up on the stairs, he held on the doorknob and twisted it. Unexpectedly, it swung open. "It's not locked?" He asked himself.
He entered the house and looked around. He was surprised. Everything was there at where he left it. Nothing has changed at all. Only there were cobwebs, spider webs, bugs, and not to mention a bunch of dust.
The sofa was there where he left it, the fridge was closed, and the kitchen was left untouched.
He opened the fridge. The smell was bad! There was an old milk carton with obvious spoiled contents and stacked up ramen cups. He opened the cupboards and saw some of the old cup ramens left. He smiled.
"Miso, beef, and chicken." He said to himself as he read the flavors. He closed the cupboards and went straight to his old room.
"Heh. Nothing really changed at all." The bed sheets were still the same. They were wrinkled all over all full of dust.
Contented of what he saw, he walked out of the house and closed the door. Looking up at the dark sky, she smiled.
"Hn. This day seemed to match my mood."
He decided to walk around more until he reached a certain house. A certain house in which a specific Uchiha lives. He smirked and decided to pay the onyx-eyed boy a visit.
He started to walk up the stairs quietly without making any noise at all and opened the door quietly, but the harsh wind seems to have its own ideas as it used its force to bang the door to the wall, the noise ringing all over the house.
"Drats."
Naruto quickly used an invisibility jutsu to keep him out of sight. In an instant, the Uchiha was there with a kunai in hand.
Seeing no one except the open door, he closed it, but held the kunai in hand in case someone made a surprise attack.
"Hn. It must be the wind."
"Yes and no."
"Who's there?!" Sasuke demanded as he turned around, only to see no one. He decided to walk around the living room as he scanned for anything suspicious.
"Who are you looking for?"
This time, Sasuke spun around only to see a dark clad guy leaning by his door. "Who are you?" He asked.
The figure smirked. "We just met a while ago and you forgot?"
At the same time, thunder and lighting clashed, sending light to lighten the dark room, letting the Uchiha notice streaks of blond hair and a blue eye. His eyes widened.
"Naruto..."
Naruto smiled. Sasuke was shocked. It wasn't a friendly smile or his trademark fox grin. It was a sinister smile.
"Yes, Uchiha-san?"
Onyx eyes turned to red as he glared at the dark clad blond who was still leaning by his door. Sasuke continued his glare as he scanned the blond before him. He noticed a black shirt and black baggy pants replaced the orange clothes that he once wore. He also wore a black cloak hanging a bit loosely around his neckline.
The Uchiha calmed down seeing that the blond does not have an intention to attack him but he kept his guard on in case something occurred.
"You've changed."
Naruto nodded. "More than you have possibly imagined."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes slightly as he eyes the blond boy. "What are you doing here?" He asked. Naruto stood up straight and smiled at him. "Is it a crime to visit a long time friend? Hmm... or should I say a long time lover?"
Sasuke's eyes widened as Naruto took a step near. Sasuke, in turn, took a step back. Naruto leaned his head down, a visible smirk lining on his lips. "Why? What happened to the 'perfect' and 'fearless' Uchiha Sasuke? Are you, dare I say, scared?"
Sasuke's eyes widened as he saw a tinge of red staining Naruto's blue eyes. "Naruto... what happened to you?"
Naruto smiled. "You'll find out soon enough."
Naruto turned around and opened the door.
Pain and guilt suddenly started to spread over at him. What the heck was going on? 'Augh... I though I have abandoned my feeling for him... did I not succeed? Is my love for Uchiha Sasuke still in me? Why do I feel so much pain seeing him like that? Why did I feel pain as I talked to him that way? Do I still love him? Or moreover, do he still love ME?'
Unable to bear the confusion any longer, he decided to ask. "Sasuke, do you still feel the same?"
With that, Naruto closed the door and dashed away, leaving Sasuke speechless.
Sasuke stared at the closed door in front of him where the blond boy once stood.
"Naruto... yes... I still do..."
He locked the door and lied down on his bed.
"Until tomorrow then... Naruto."
Naruto ran. He ran among the harsh rain, wetting his whole body more. Well... he was already wet ever since. He ran pass teh houses, the trees, the stores, until he reached the hotel he was staying at.
He slammed the door open, causing his two other companions to shriek out.
"Naruto-niisan! What happened?!" Hoshi excalimed. The two of them were shocked. Naruto was wet from head to toe and what was worse was their oniichan's eyes were red.
"Naruto-niisan! Did you have a fight?" Hoshi asked. Fei had a different idea though. She was sure that the redness in Naruto's eyes wasn't caused by a fight, but tears. She shook her head mentally.
"Hoshi, leave Naruto-san be. I'm sure that he wants to be left alone."
"But Fei! He may have gotten in a fight!"
"If he did, do you see any wounds anywhere?"
Hoshi turned to look at Naruto and noticed she was right. Whatever the reason was is unknown for Hoshi but known to Fei.
"You're right. Fei, what's the cause?"
"Naruto-sa wouldn't like me to tell you. You have to find it out on your own."
"Che."
The two other genins looked at Naruto who took off his cloak and went to bed without even changing his wet clothes.
The other two knew that whatever happened, Naruto wouldn't tell them so they just shut their mouths. They left him be.
'Sasuke... tomorrow... we'll meet again... tomorrow...' Naruto thought before drifting off into sleep.
Author's notes: Well... how's this? Is this good? Is it nice? Sorry for any confusion that may have occurred, and if I do offend anyone in a way, sorry. I'm sorry for not using any bolds and italics. I've tried already for a couple of times but it just won't appear on the site. I wonder what's wrong? Reviews please!
