SASUKE'S SHADOW

Disclaimer: I no own Naruto. But I do own my crazy speech.

Oh, and this takes place after Sasuke leaves the hokage's office suddenly running after him, Kay?

I want at least two reviews. Flames even are welcome; I will laugh at you in a frightening manner though. MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Okay, on with the story.

Sasuke was walking down the narrow street, it was crowded with people. Those who recognized him turned and looked their eyes widened and fingers pointed, and the hushed rumors were spread. He paid no attention however, and just kept walking, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. Naruto was walking beside him, almost running to catch up.

"Well." He rushed. "What brings you back to Konoha?" he said this with no small amount of anticipation. Sasuke didn't blink, he just stared.

He couldn't tell Naruto the truth. He couldn't tell him that all those years away from him was torture, that he loved him with all his heart that he'd die for him. So he lied.

"Nothing." He said, he stared at the ground and lightly blushed. Naruto looked down at his feet. He closed his eyes as tears began to form. He sighed.

"Nothing?" he whispered. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and opened his eyes. "Then why'd you come back?" he took his hands out of his pockets and stared at the back of sasuke's head, anticipating an answer. Sasuke sighed. He was trying to think of an answer that would not reveal his true feelings, so he said.

"No reason." He began to walk, taking long deliberate steps. Naruto closed his eyes again, and he ran. He ran past Sasuke, past the people and their rumors, past everything. He only stopped when he reached his home. He leaned against his door and sobbed. He opened his door and stepped inside. The room was dark and cold. He plopped onto his bed and sobbed into his pillow.

'I hate that bastard.' He thought. He gripped his pillow tightly and growled into his pillow. A small knock on his door interrupted his thoughts.

"Go away." He growled with disdain. But the knocker was persistent. Finally he yelled at the knocker.

"The fucking door is open!" the door slid open slowly and Sasuke stepped inside. Naruto growled at his, but kept his face buried in his pillow. He felt the mattress sink as Sasuke sat down near his feet.

"Naruto?" he questioned. He placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder, but he jerked away. He laid on Naruto's back and whispered into his ear.

"I came because of you." He placed his hand on Naruto's face and caressed it gently. Naruto pushed himself up and stared into Sasuke's eyes. Sasuke leaned forward and pecked him lightly on his cheek. They both blushed furiously, but Naruto leaned forward and kissed Sasuke on his lips. They both blushed as they pulled apart, but neither complained. Sasuke lay down and Naruto snuggled in between his legs, purring contently.

Sasuke's P.O.V

Naruto was lying between my legs, a smile on his face. I smiled in spite of myself and ruffled his hair gently. I placed my head on the pillow and closed my eyes. Visions of our future together danced in front of my eyes, and I glowed with happiness. I soon fell asleep, with sweet dreams.

Naruto's P.O.V

I looked up at Sasuke; he was smiling although he was asleep. His hand had fallen to the side of my cheek and I kissed it softly. He moaned lightly in his sleep and I smiled, and soon followed suit.

Naruto walked swiftly to Ichiraku Ramen. He was hungry after training all day for the mission that Tsunade had given him. Training was going much easier than he had thought, thanks to him using kage bunshin. (A.n Look at the recent chapters of the Naruto manga.) He arrived and promptly sat down on the stool closest to the server.

"Miso Pork Ramen, please." He was immediately served a big bowl of his favorite food and began to devour the noodles. He was on his third bowl when he noticed Hinata standing shyly under the entrance. He raised his eyebrow and beckoned her over. She looked left and than looked right, but came over and sat on the seat next to him.

"HELLO HINATA!" he yelled right into her ear. She blushed brightly, her cheeks turning into a metaphorical red light bulb. "Ramen?" he offered her his bowl and she politely declined. He shrugged his shoulders and went back to eating. She giggled softly and rubbed the tips of her fingers together.

"I'm g-glad you're f-feeling better, n-Naruto. Naruto lifted his face from the bowl, noodles hanging from his mouth. He swallowed them swiftly.

"Yea, thanks Hinata-chan." He set the bowl on top of five others on the top of the bar. He burped loudly and patted his stomach. Hinata giggled again and smiled. He paid for his meal and stood up. Hinata stood up as well. The two walked out of the ramen restaurant and began to walk down a small alley. It was pretty full for it being so late. People were cluttered in small crowds near small building, or huddled together to keep warm. It was a cold night and Hinata shivered. She was wearing only a black tee shirt with fishnet sleeves and wore capris with her ninja pouch attached to her leg. She rubbed her feet together to keep her toes warm in her ninja sandals. Naruto however was quite warm in his orange and black long sleeved jacket and his long orange pants warmed his legs. He wore his ninja sandals also, but the cold did not bother him as much. He took off his jacket and placed it across Hinata's shoulders and smiled. She blushed brightly and muttered a barely audible 'arigatou.' They walked onward, small bursts of conversation, but nothing too serious.

Sasuke appeared from around the corner and scowled at Hinata. She didn't notice however. Naruto smiled as soon as he saw Sasuke and ran to hug him. He wrapped his arms around Sasuke and beamed. Sasuke blushed and pushed him off playfully. Hinata fiddled with the black part of the jacket near her shoulder. She took it off and handed it back to Naruto, folded.

"Arigatou, n-Naruto- kun." She smiled and ran off. Naruto looked towards Sasuke and kissed him on the cheek. Sasuke blushed but kissed him softly on the lips.

"Jealous much, Sasuke-teme?" Sasuke growled softly and punched Naruto in his arm. He muttered something that sounded very much like 'dobe' and grabbed Naruto's arm. They walked onward, toward the team seven training area. Neither had been there for many years, Naruto at least five, Sasuke many more. Sasuke perched himself on one of the small poles, and Naruto relaxed against it.

"Remember this pole, dobe?" he asked. Naruto shook his head in agreement. He smiled broadly and stared up at him. Sasuke slid down and nestled himself between Naruto's legs, facing him. He placed the tip of his nose touching Naruto's his soft breath tickling his neck. He kissed his neck and Naruto moaned. Sasuke smirked and kissed Naruto's lips. Naruto leaned into the kiss and placed his hand in sasuke's hair, pushing him forward. They both moaned and Naruto smiled into the kiss. They pulled apart and Sasuke gently caressed Naruto's cheek. Sasuke hugged Naruto by his waist and whispered softly.

"I'm so glad I came back." Naruto beamed at this and tilted sasuke's head up by his chin and smiled.

"I love you." He whispered. They both smiled and hugged each other. He cool air made Sasuke shiver and he held Naruto tighter. Naruto squeezed Sasuke and kissed the top of his head. "Sasuke?" Naruto asked.

"Hn." Sasuke said dreamily.

"Well, I had an idea." He leaned over and whispered something in sasuke's ear. Sasuke blushed but nodded his head furiously. Naruto relaxed against the pole, training began tomorrow.
