There shouldn't be that many grammatical errors (I got Word back! Yay!) so if there are, blame it on spell check. This is a Female Naruto x Sasuke story, meaning Naruto is a girl. It's like yaoi only one of them has an actual feminine side (no, not Sasuke haha ). I do not own Naruto, I do, however, own this story.
-- -- In the Eyes of Sasuke Uchiha -- --
Before school, I told Uzumaki to meet me at the computer room to talk. We did. It felt weird, confessing how my parents died to a girl I used to hate. Now it was homeroom, and I stared at the blackboard, thinking. Well I wasn't really thinking, more like…I don't even know, really.
After we talked I gave Naruto a kiss on her cheek, and she actually blushed. At first she had a look of surprise, but she blushed hard and darted out of the room. It pained me slightly to laugh a little, especially because I had never seen Uzumaki act so much like…like a girl.
"Earth to Sasuke!" Kiba waved his hand in my face, bringing me back to the classroom.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Teacher's not here." he motioned towards the empty teacher's desk. "Let's go to the cafeteria and grab breakfast."
I spotted Uzumaki in a conversation with Neji's sister and that pink-haired stalker. The pink-haired girl spotted me staring at Uzumaki and pouted, crossing her arms. Uzumaki looked at her, then looked back to see what she was pouting at. Once our eyes met her face turned slightly pink, and she gave a little wave and spun back to her conversation.
"Looking good!" Tenten laughed, slapping my shoulder.
"What?" I asked, forgetting for a moment.
Neji closed his book and set it down on his desk. "Some people spotted Uzumaki running out of the computer room, and my source tells me you were in that room with her."
"So…?"
"Looks like you got her crushing on you." Kiba said, a little disappointed.
"If you want, you can still back out." I told him flatly.
He shook his head. "It's about dignity now." he stated.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance." I laughed a bit, and gave a sigh. "Now what, though?"
"What do you mean, 'now what'?!" Tenten cried, shaking me by the shoulders. "You have her crushing on you! Now you develop the relationship!"
"Isn't it a bit cruel to be doing this over a bet?" Neji suddenly asked, raising an eyebrow. "I would think you two to be above that."
"Maybe." I shrugged. "At least she isn't screaming at me every other second."

It was a little weird, going back to the cafeteria for lunch instead of Mr. Hatake's classroom. Nonetheless I joined a daydreaming Kiba at our usual table, plopping down my paper-lunch bag.
"Uchiha." Uzumaki poked the back of my head after I sat down. "Could we swap lunches again?"
"Again? Alright…" As I held out the bag, I noticed something--she was still wearing her middle school uniform. I started laughing as I took her bag.
"What?" she snapped.
I bit my tongue and motioned for her to come sit with us. She hesitated, but nonetheless sat, smoothing her skirt as she crossed her legs. "Why are you wearing your middle school uniform top?" I asked, taking a bite out of the peanut buttery goodness.
"Kitsune ripped my top." she sighed, eyeing some chicken in the salad. "Chicken salad…honestly, Uchiha, I'm really starting to think you actually LIKE salad."
"So?"
"Why don't you invite Hinata over here?" Uzumaki asked Kiba.
Finally waking up, he turned red and shook his head. "I couldn't…" he muttered, picking at his mystery meat.
"Hinata! Come here!" Uzumaki called, waving frantically.
To my shock Kiba sank down in his seat, looking at his shoes. "Isn't that the girl you're trying to get?" I whispered, kicking his knee under the table.
"It's…well…" he fumbled with his words, and then kicked me back. "Shut up."
"This is Uchiha." Uzumaki introduced Neji's sister. "And this is Hinata."
Her face turned red as she spotted Kiba. "H-Hello, Kiba-kun…" she said quietly, ignoring the two of us.
What was going on?
"Come on Uchiha, let's let them be." Uzumaki winked, dragging me away.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked as we left the cafeteria.
She kicked open a door and dragged me out to the grounds to the giant cherry blossom tree. "Here." she said promptly, jumping onto the grass immediately, crossing her legs.
"Under the tree?" I asked, sitting slowly. "What'll we do here? We finished our lunches."
Uzumaki put a finger to her lips, and looked at the sky. I looked up and saw nothing. For a moment we sat there, and as I opened my mouth a breeze came, sending a whirlwind of cherry blossoms over our heads. As they fluttered around us, I saw Uzumaki sigh dreamily, watching the petals dance in the wind.
"It's really pretty." I said softly.
A single petal floated out from the others and landed on my nose. It was odd how it stayed on, no matter how much I wrinkled my nose. Uzumaki giggled at me, and blew it off. We watched as the petals joined the others, and then a great breeze lifted them once again into the sky and they made a trail to who knows where.
"I showed this to only one other person." she confessed, twirling a stray lock of her hair from her ponytail between her fingers. When I gave her a confused look, she replied, "My best friend, Hinata."
"How long have you two known each other?" I asked.
"A long time. I don't really remember the day we met, really." she frowned, thinking.
"What is it?"
"There's a lot about my past I don't remember…" she mumbled, braiding one of her ponytails. "Is that bad?"
"We're all getting older, we're bound to forget." I assured her, smiling. "Don't braid your hair, I like your ponytails."
Her face turned pink as he fumbled with her shoe lace. "Wh-Why?" she asked quietly.
My body acted before I could think; I leaned forward and planted a kiss on her forehead. "They make you look really cute."
When there was no response, I got nervous. I finally looked down at her, and when we locked eyes, her face turned beet red.
"What?" I asked, confused.
"I…I…" she stuttered, and to my horror she fell back, closing her eyes.
"What--?" I was so confused, but nonetheless caught her before she fell onto the grass. "Uzumaki! Hey, Uzumaki!" I shook her slightly. "Don't faint on me! What'd I do? Uzumaki!"
-- -- In the Eyes of Naruto Uzumaki -- --
"Do you need anything, Naruto-san?" Hinata asked worriedly as we walked to her limousine. "Do you feel light-headed?"
"I'm okay, Hinata." I assured her, rubbing the back of my head. "Just…okay." I laughed nervously and stared straight ahead.
I knew my face was pink. I knew people were watching. I also knew that I had fainted after being complimented by Uchiha under the cherry blossom tree. Honestly…I'm losing it…I've completely fallen for his charm. For a guy. For that guy. For a guy I used to hate with a passion. For a stuck up asshole who just wanted some sex.
What the hell was wrong with me?
As I took a seat next to Hinata I groaned, the door closing next to me. I leaned against the cool glass and sighed. How the mighty have fallen…
"Naruto-san?" Hinata asked, but I waved her away.
"Please Hinata, just take me home…" I sighed, closing my eyes. "I'm…not myself right now…"
I wasn't the tough tomboy Uzumaki anymore. I was the feminine fan girl Uzumaki now…
And I loved it.

"I'm home." I called, dropping my backpack while I took off my shoes.
There was no response. That was odd, Lento usually gave me a heads up if he wouldn't be home. I looked around the kitchen to look for a note, or some reason he wasn't home. Maybe he forgot to pay a bill and had to leave? That was the reason last time.
Hopping onto the couch, I flipped on the television, and to my surprise it was turned off.
"The hell?" I muttered, turning it back on. And again it turned off. I kept turning it back on, and it kept turning off.
Someone knocked on the door, so I threw the remote aside.
"Lento, the TV's not--" I started, but stopped mid-sentence.
Uchiha was standing outside my door, rubbing the back of his head. "Ah…I wanted to know if you were okay."
"Perfect timing." I grinned, dragging him in to the TV. "It keeps turning off when I turn it on. Fix it."
"What am I, your repair man?"
I pouted. "You know I can't deal with electronics."
He laughed, looking behind the TV. "I thought it was only computers?"
"Everything has computer-stuff these days." I shrugged, waiting for him to finish the inspection. "What's wrong with it?"
"I don't know, everything looks fine." Uchiha replied, slightly surprised. He pressed the 'On' button, and a television drama aired. After a few seconds, it turned off again.
"What the…?" he mumbled, scratching his chin.
Lento then came through the door, slamming it shut behind him. "What?" he asked, seeing Uchiha. "Never mind, you two go to Naruto's room."
Weren't adults usually against leaving two teenagers in the same room? Before I could ask someone knocked on the door. Lento motioned for us to go, and we left to my room. Kitsune remained in her little corner, gazing at Uchiha as he closed the door.
"Hold on." I said, pushing the door open a crack. "I wanna know what's going on."
Uchiha turned off the lights, and the two of us peered to see what was going on.
Two men had entered, one big and burly, and the other quite scrawny, like those couple of goons you see on TV all the time. It was hard to hear what they were saying, but it seemed like they were arguing over something. Lento ran a hand through his hair, something I knew he only did when he was in trouble.
"Something about money…" Uchiha whispered, straining to listen. "Oh shit…"
I gasped--the scrawny guy had pulled out a gun from under his jacket. Lento didn't flinch--he tried reasoning, then I didn't understand what was going on, and then the guy readied the gun, pointing it in Lento's face.
"Come." Uchiha whispered, trying to pull me away from the door.
"No!" I hissed, jerking my hand out of his grip. "Not until--"
I almost screamed when I heard the gunshot, and my heart almost stopped when I heard a heavy thud. Taking advantage of my shock, Uchiha pulled me away from the door, and we hid in the closet.
They couldn't have shot him….they didn't…He was okay, they just fired to scare him, and the thud was Lento punching the wall or something…He was okay…right?
Their voices sounded louder, and we heard my door open.
"Heard he had a kid." one said as the two walked in. Kitsune started growling, and a click was heard. "Don't." the other guy spoke, his voice low and gruff. "It's be too suspicious for the kid to come home with no one here."
Oh my god…Oh my god…
"Do we wait for the kid?"
"No, we're finished…whatever happens, happens…Don't need the kid, we already took care of Lento."
More footsteps, and the door closed. We remained frozen, huddled in the closet until we heard the front door close. Uchiha stepped out slowly but motioned for me to stay where I was. He left the room for a few seconds, then came right back in, flipping out a cell phone and pulling me out of the closet.
They did shoot him. Lento laid on the floor as his blood slowly seeped out, no life remaining in his eyes.
-- -- In the Eyes of Sasuke Uchiha -- --
"I'm staying with her." I told the guy as Uzumaki was escorted to the police car. "I'm her cousin, I'm all she has now." Guessing they bought it, because soon afterwards they let me go with her had, and we sat in silence on the road to the hospital.
As soon as I had saw his body, I called the police and ambulance immediately. They said he wasn't dead, but they weren't sure he was going to make it. Uzumaki was silent the whole time. It was odd, really…
Once we had arrived I helped Uzumaki out, and to my surprise she crashed into me, holding me so tightly I couldn't breathe for a few seconds. "Don't leave me…" she whispered, her voice quavering.
"I won't." I assured her, and lead her inside. This…this was one hell of a day…
An update? So soon?! Well I had the day off, so I figured, why not? Criticize/Comment Please!
