Hey everyone! thank you soooo much for the reviews! you've all been great! and i'm going to reward u all with some NaruSasu action! ...finally right? haha

enjoy!

"Can you believe another person's gone missing? That's 3 people this week near the river," Ino said.

We were sitting at our usual table at lunch. Kiba and Hinata weren't sitting with us today but none of us questioned it, they'd both been acting strange lately and it was small news compared to the recent disappearances near Konoha River. Come to think of it, it had been happening a lot more since I went into the Uchiha Mansion last month. Sasuke and I had already discussed the fact that Itachis vampire followers could be lurking in the village, feeding to keep up their strength for when they make their move. Unfortunately this made Sasukes training courses on me way tougher. Whoopee…

"I know, it's been happening a lot more recently," Sakura replied.

"I heard the murderer's been dumping them in the river for years, and now that he's older he's gotten lazy and only attacks them near it," Gaara said.

"That's stupid," Neji said. "A murderer wouldn't risk being caught like that, and what kind of murderer gets lazy? If he were lazy he wouldn't be killing at all."

"They haven't found any bodies," Lee put it. "What makes you all think they're dead?"

Shikamaru yawned. "How troublesome, not even a clue to go on except the tiniest drops of blood."

"One thing's for sure, when they finally catch the one doing it they'll be burnt at the stake," Sakura said.

"They still do that shit?" I asked.

Wow….medieval much?

"Oh yeah, and this one will deserve it too," Ino said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Naruto…you gonna eat that?" Gaara asked, pointing to my chocolate bar. School was the only place I could eat one without Sasukes constant nagging, 'you'll get fat dobe,'' 'you're cheating dobe' 'one bar = 20 push ups dobe,' 'blah-blah-blah-blah dobe.' But I just wasn't in the mood for sweets right now.

"Nah, here," I said, handing it to him. His hand brushed against mine as he grabbed it. I froze.

The images in front of me started shifting. I was no longer sitting at the table with my friends. I was surrounded by black. Flashes of fire burst out from everywhere. I saw an image of hundreds of people yelling. The image changed again to Gaaras face yelling angrily, "Kill the demon!" The image changed again to Sasuke, who was crying out in pain, my heart clenched as he screamed, "Naruto!"

I blinked. I was back at the table with my friends.

What the hell just happened?

"Thanks," Gaara said.

"What?" I asked.

"For the bar," he said, holding it up. I just nodded at him.

Had I really seen all those things? Fire….Gaara…..Demon….Sasuke…what did all this mean? My world started spinning, I felt dizzy.

I burst through the door to my room and looked around frantically for Sasuke. He was struggling to untangle a very long, thick rope, where he got it I had no idea; I was just that relieved to see he was alright.

"Oh hey dobe, I hope you're ready we have a whole day of training to get thr-" he started but stopped when I pulled him into a hug. "Na-Naruto? What are you doing?"

"Sasuke…." I sighed. "I'm so glad you're ok." I hugged him tighter, just to help me truly believe he was there, and alive.

"Why wouldn't I be ok?" he asked.

I pulled away enough to look at him. I saw the blush on his cheeks as he looked back at me. "I…. I had a feeling you were in trouble," I said,

"Well I have major rope burn from that thing-" he nodded at the rope "- but other then that I'm fine."

I sighed in relief again and pulled him into another embrace.

"Naruto? What's wrong?" he asked softly.

I never released my hold on him as I told him what happened when I touched Gaara. The Blackness, the fire, Gaaras yelling, Sasukes screaming, I told him all of it.

"Naruto that's great!" Sasuke said.

I pulled back to look at him and raised an eyebrow. "Hold on, I just saw you screaming in sheer pain, was so scared something had happened to you that I sprinted home and you think it's all great?"

"Well not the screaming in pain part obviously, but don't you realise what's just happened?" When I didn't answer he went on. "Naruto, you just experienced your powers!"

"Well…. what kind of power is that?" I asked.

He shrugged. "I don't know but it proves we're on the right track, if you can use them again we might be able to control them by the time Itachi attacks."

"Does that mean I don't have to-wait- what exactly were you going to make me do with that rope anyway?" I asked.

He smirked. "You'll never know dobe, because now the physical training's over, it's time to start working on your powers," he said.

"Sweet!" I yelled. "How are we doing that?"

"Meditation," he replied.

I groaned. "Meditation? Aww come on Sasuke, that's boring!"

"No, it's relaxing, you need to be at one with your mind, body and soul to reveal your true power," he explained.

"Ooooh listen to you, Guru," I mocked.

"Shut up, come on we better get started…uhm…Naruto?" he said.

"Yeah?" I asked

"Y-you can let go of me now," he blushed.

I noticed my arms were still around him and I blushed too. I quickly let go and put a hand at the back of my neck. "Oh. Right. Heh. Sorry," I laughed nervously.

"Come on, I'll show you how to quietly meditate," he said

"Ommmmmm….Ommmmmm…Ommmmm-"

"What are you doing?" Sasuke asked. I peeked an eye open to see him sitting cross-legged on my bed, like me, staring at me like I had 3 heads and a Mohawk.

"Isn't that how you meditate?" I asked.

He rolled his eyes at me. "No, idiot, you sit quietly, and clear your mind of idiotic thoughts…should have realised how difficult it would be for you."

I frowned at him. "Well excuse me for being a fun, active person," I said and stuck my tongue out at him.

He sighed. "Here I'll help you, close your eyes," he said. I did as I was told. I heard him shuffle closer to me.

"Alright, we'll take this nice and slow," he said in a calming voice, it was so smooth; when he spoke I could feel his breath on my face. My cheeks started to burn but I didn't move.

"Breath normally through your nose, in…and out…. in…. and out…. focus on the sensation of your breathing," the way he said 'sensation' sent a shiver down my spine.

"Don't follow any thoughts that enter your mind, keep focusing on your breathing…"

There it is again, that warm breath against my skin. I unconsciously licked my lips. They felt as is they were missing something. Something soft… Something warm….

"In….and out…" Sasukes voice sounded as if it was inside my mind. It probably was. "In….and out…." I blushed as images of me coming in and out of Sasuke rose to my mind. "In…. and out…." Moaning, panting, sweating… "In…and out…" he felt closer now. It was driving me crazy!

Slowly I opened my eyes. Sasuke was so close. Our noses were almost touching as we locked eyes. I was lost in a sea of blackness and he kept saying, "In…. and out…" Never losing eye contact I brought my head slowly closer to Sasuke. Our lips were barely brushing as he said once again in a whispering, seductive voice, "In…. and out…" with that our lips finally connected.

It was a soft, loving kiss. It held so much emotion. Kissing Sasuke was unlike anything I'd ever experienced before. I felt his tail brush against my leg and shivered. I brought my hands around his waist and pulled him onto my lap, deepening our kiss. He wrapped his arms around my neck and moaned as I bit his bottom lip, asking for entrance. He gave it to me and I darted my tongue in, tasting everything I could before dancing around his tongue. I slipped my hands up his shirt, feeling the soft skin at his sides. He sucked on my tongue and I groaned. Sasuke was perfect, every time I moved he moved to connect with me. He buried his hands in my hair as I found my way to his nipples. He moaned as I played with each one. We broke apart to breathe and started rubbing our erections together.

"Naruto…" he breathed against my lips.

I kissed him again and softly lay him down on the bed. After pulling apart from his lips I looked at him. His face was flushed, ears flat against his head. He was beautiful…he was mine…

I leaned down and whispered in his ear, "I want you."

"Then take me," he whispered back and our eyes connected.

It was a perfect moment. I'd experienced lust before but we both knew this wasn't just lust, this was something more, something real. This was…. this was….

"Naruto?" I heard from outside my door. It started creaking open. Sakura poked her head in. Sasuke quickly transformed back to a cat as I jumped off him.

"Oh. Sakura. Hey. What's up?" I said hoarsely.

Damn! That was so close!

"Naruto…. we need to talk," she said seriously.

Damn it Sakura! Guess Naruto will have to wait just a little longer huh?

so what did u all think? keep in mind this is my first fanfiction so that was also my 1st intimate writing. Don't worry you WILL get a lemon. It's not a NaruSasu if you don't get a lemon right? so I'll try my best with that.
