Chapter 4:

"Sasuke…" A familiar voice said his name. It was Kakashi… He was walking up from the other side of the alley. "We've been looking everywhere for you."

"Yeah, teme!" Naruto cursed at him, as usual. He'd been following close behind their sensei.

"Shut up. Did you see anyone leave from here?" Sasuke adjusted his headband, fixing it back and smoothing out his hair. "I was just molested."

Both of them stood silently for a minute. They were trying to decide whether or not to actually buy his excuse. It was faintly evident that he was slightly panicked. However, it wasn't like Sasuke to ever admit to that kind of thing, even if it did happen.

Kakashi was the quickest to analyze the situation, and therefore, the first to speak. "What really happened, Sasuke?"

"I'm telling the truth!"

"You were molested? What exactly happened?"

The Uchiha took a deep breath. "I don't even know. I was on my way to training when I got jumped in this alley. Someone just ran up to me, and before I could see them, they kissed me. Then they left when you guys showed up."

Kakashi looked angry. Sasuke couldn't recall ever seeing him so pissed. But strangely, he didn't say a word after that. Not trusting himself to speak, the Jounin let Naruto do it for him.

"We'll get that bastard! Which way did they go?"

"I think that way…" Sasuke vaguely pointed. "But you're wasting your time. Whoever it was, they'll be long gone by now."

"I see…" Kakashi turned his back to them. "I think we should just go on with our training for today. We've lost enough time, as it is."

"Hai, sensei…"

Reluctantly glancing behind him, now and then, Sasuke followed his teacher, along with Naruto. He was a Ninja, damn it! He wouldn't be letting anyone else sneak up on him like that again!

By the time they made it to the training field, Sasuke was still pretty shaken. It was obvious to anyone that knew him, something was just not normal. He didn't usually let anything get to him. But that was really weird. Kakashi didn't seem to care though. An impatient Sakura stood waiting for them when they got there.

"Sasuke…" Their sensei was the first to speak. "You will stay after training. You have to make up for leaving early yesterday. You didn't even notify anyone of your absence."

"You jerk!" Sakura cut in. "We spent hours looking for you! Finally, we-"

"They decided to give up, since you probably went home," Kakashi finished for her. "Don't think just because you came back to the village that I'll go easy on you. I won't. I'm still your Sensei."

"I know…" The Uchiha seemed oddly resigned to his fate. "That's fine with me. Let's just get started."

After a day of hard work, it seemed their efforts had hardly paid off at all. The only thing training this hard got them were stiff shoulders, sore muscles, and an empty stomach. Sasuke didn't feel like his skills had improved at all… If anything, he had gotten worse since he'd been back. But he wasn't going to tell his other team members that. It was obvious that they just weren't on the same level as him.

It wasn't until the others had left that Kakashi approached him, with a stern look on his face. "Sasuke, there is a reason I asked you to stay after class. I need to know… Who are you seeing?"

"Huh? Seeing?" The Uchiha noticeably twitched at his choice of words.

"That's right… I know you have to be dating someone. It explains why you're so eager to leave, why you are always late, and why you keep making excuses."

"I swear," Sasuke pleaded his case before his teacher. "I'm not seeing anyone. I've been single this long, and I aim to keep it that way!"

"Really? That's too bad…"

The next thing he felt was fabric against his face. Or, to be more precise, his lips… And then the fabric was being moved out of the way. His teacher's lips were rubbing smoothly over his soft skin. Greedily, Kakashi licked at his lips… He felt himself being embraced; something that he was not used to.

He'd never submitted to anyone before… So why, then, did he find himself not wanting to pull away? He kissed him back timidly, just a little. It was barely there, but he knew Kakashi felt it.

And he also knew that this kiss was completely different than the one from earlier. But it was so random, this really had Sasuke scared. What if he was the same one who had been stalking him all this time? He had no way of knowing…

Kakashi's tongue was rubbing against his, and Sasuke let out a small moan. He couldn't control it… It just came out. Their tongues danced, as if pouring themselves into the kiss. And he realized something in that crazy, messed up moment… He actually found the man attractive. He wasn't sure what it was about him that affected him in such a way. But the idea of being kissed by Kakashi, strangely enough, didn't repulse him as he thought it would. Was it because he was older?

"This is wrong," Sasuke finally managed to push him away. In doing so, he got a good long look at this face, as well. "You're… my teacher. Sensei, we can't do this."

"You only say that because it's what you think you are supposed to say…"

They kissed again. This was only the second time Sasuke had kissed anyone, and he felt so awkward… He had no idea where to put his hands or what to do. Kakashi knew just where to touch, and what to do to make him want it.

"It's wrong for a teacher and student to be together…" Sasuke said the words, even if he couldn't force himself to actually mean them. "And why would you want to be with someone like me anyway? You could have anyone you want in all of Konoha."

Kakashi didn't say anything. He broke the kiss long enough to let Sasuke speak… And long enough for the boy to get a nice long look at his real face. Then he leaned in for more… Only to be pushed away.

"No, sensei… I'm sorry… But this isn't right!"

The older Shinobi made no move to even stop him. He just watched him leave…

He ran home that evening… It had started to rain. Sasuke wasn't just running from Kakashi anymore. He was running away… from himself.

He couldn't believe it! He'd really just risked everything back there… All for a stolen kiss. But the moment he'd had his hands on Sasuke, it was magnificent. And he wouldn't have traded anything else in the world for it.

The feel of his lips pressing against Sasuke's… Even the taste of the boy had been exhilarating.

He would have to keep trying different people, until he found someone Sasuke liked. Then he would work on figuring out a way to be with him. Even if it meant having to look and act like someone else, he would do it. He loved Sasuke that much. He did not care what it cost him, or even the consequences it caused. No, all that mattered was that he had Sasuke. He could never approach him as himself. That wouldn't work at all.

So… Sai was hot. And he liked to show off… He and Sasuke had spent some time together back when Sai had infiltrated Orochimaru's lair. Who knows? It was possible the little Uchiha had a thing for him.

'Hm… I'll have to try Sai next…' He was running out of ideas.

It was time to try one last time, to put his plan into motion.

Sasuke was starting to get really pissed off. He knew it had to be someone screwing with him. There was just no way this many people would all want him at once. Why had he suddenly become the one everyone wanted? It was just too much of a weird coincidence.

"Sasuke…" A dull, emotionless, monotone voice reached his ears. Sai approached him. "I've been looking for you."

"St-stay away!" His initial reaction was fear.

"You're so beautiful… So perfect, Sasuke-san…"

'I'm going out of my mind!'

He wanted to yell… He wanted to scream at someone to make it stop… But it wasn't. If this continued, he was going to have to choose someone, just so they could keep all of the other people away! As soon as Sai took one step closer to him, he shoved the boy backwards.

"I want to know what the hell is going on!" Sasuke screamed, not even caring who heard. "Stop it! Tell me right now, Sai, if that really is your name! I know someone's been following me, and if it's you, whoever you are, I deserve to know why!"

He was going to feel like such an idiot if it really was Sai. But no… Upon hearing his words, and seeing that there was no one else around, a dense cloud of smoke filled the air. There was a familiar popping sound, like a shadow clone makes when it's hit with a move strong enough to destroy it. As the clouds cleared, he was met with a familiar face. One he hadn't seen since he was eight years old…

"It's been a long time, Otouto…"

A/N: Don't tell me you didn't see it coming. XD There always has to be a cliffhanger at moments like these. Lol… Sorry. I'll update again as soon as I can.
