…Life is Life…
…Chapter 7…
…Surprise!...
"Let the exam begin!"
Noises of cracking chairs & rustle papers filled the almost silent saloon. Naruto put his question sheet on the hand rest of his chair & skimmed the paper. The questions had four possible answers which were given. The only work he had to do was just chose the best answer for it. 100 questions if he just put 1 minute for each…
"Oh I forget to tell you something, you just have 15 minutes to answer." Ibibki said with his ugly smirk. The whines were like music to his ears.
Naruto was shock, how could he answer 100 questions in 15 minutes correctly? He automatically looked at Sasuke. He was frowning when he was reading but the small smirk told Naruto that he was satisfied.
He didn't start; yet he heard one of the examiners shouted:
"Number 26 out!"
Then another voice followed the first:
"Number 33 out!"
"Number 72 out!"
"Number 65 out!"
"Number 81 out!" & so on.
'What the hell? The exam didn't even start 2 minutes ago!' though Naruto as he listened to the foot steps of leaving officers. The voice of the examiners was making him more nervous.
Naruto focused on his paper again. He closed his eyes, took a deep breathe & calmed himself & tried to ignore the calls, and then read the first question. The question was not that bad but the answers where all the same. He tried to be relaxed & read the next question. When he couldn't answer the second one, he read the next one. Other 20 questions pass like the first & second one. He wasn't finished the 21st one when he heard the evil voice.
"You have only 6 minutes left!" shouted Ibiki. He looked around the room & chuckled evilly.
"I'll give you one more chance to go. The extra point is your information won't delete."
Naruto sighed silently. Now he can go home. But his body wasn't agreeing with his mind. He tried to lift his body but it was like it glued to the chair. He tried & tried, again & again, but his muscles weren't listening to his mind's orders.
He couldn't answer a question, & he didn't have any hope to do so, they were really confusing. He wasn't good at paper exams anyway. He wanted to go, yet he couldn't stand up & go to the exit door like some of the officers.
'I can't move, damn it!' thought Naruto as he still sitting on his seat & watched the officers leaving.
'Stay.' A whisper heard by Naruto's ears. He looked around to find the source, but found none.
'Who was it?' was the only question in Naruto's mind as he looked around from under his eye lids if he could find any evidence. He didn't know why or how, but his body calmed at once & stopped struggling.
Who was it? Was his mind tricking him? Or, was someone wanted him to stay? Why anyone bothered to warn him to stay? Kakashi's chair was a little far, so it wasn't him, neither Temari nor Kankuro. Gaara was out of the choice too. They where in the first row so they wouldn't risk. He sure it wasn't Iruka's. The only option left was the Teme next to him. But he doubt about that. His mind backed to present, when he heard Ibiki's voice again.
"Anyone else? I won't give any chance anymore."
'Stay.' The whispered repeated the word again. It was so familiar to him.
'Why should I listen to you?' Naruto whispered.
'Because, I know something that you don't. Trust me.' The familiar voice whispered again. Naruto looked around again, but nobody seemed to notice the whisper.
Naruto didn't really know why he listened to the unknown whisper, but he took the advice & stayed still on his chair. He remembered the deal with Sasuke, made him more determined to stay. An Uzumaki never let down a challenge & ran away!
Also, He didn't think he could tolerate the smirked face with the words 'you lost Dobe!'
"I think that's the number we wanted." Said Ibibki to his partners without looking away from 30 remained officers in the room. His partners nodded slightly to show their agreement.
"Ok then, I think I have to end this exam." He murmured to himself, but shouted the next sentences.
"The exam is finished." He looked at every confused face in the saloon.
Oh, how he loved to surprise people.
"Every officer in this room is accepted in this level. You have two other levels, the body exams with commander Momochi…" he motioned to the man on his right.
"& aiming exam with commander Uchiha…" then motioned to the man on his left side.
"Next level will be beginning in 15 minutes."
Then He turned on his heels & walked out the door that he came in earlier with his partners, & left everyone in shock & surprise.
For two minutes nobody say anything till Kutetsu & Izumo came in front of room & shouted together:
"Please follow us."
"What's going on here? Did we really pass? Or is that a trick?" a girl from bottom of rows shouted.
"No it's not a trick; & yes Miss Yamanaka, like commander Morino said, you all accepted in the first level. Now, please follow us."
"What about these papers?" Another girl asked with pigtail hair on both side of her head, while shaking the exam paper in the air.
"Leave them on your chairs." Said Izumo & left the room with Kutetsu. After them, the examiners stood up & followed them out of the door.
"Well… I didn't expect that." said Temari as she stood up.
"Me neither." Said Kankuro & followed his sister. Gaara did the same without marking any opinion.
"That was strange. The man was weird." Naruto Said as he walked to his old friend & his siblings.
The Raven stood up too & wanted to talk to his Dobe, but alas… He really wished he could kill these whores with his glares. He sighed silently & kept his stoic mask on his gorgeous face & remained silent, while the girls tried to pull some answers from his mouth.
"UHUM!" Temari cleared her throat as she pushed his elbow into Naruto's side toughly.
"Hey! What was that for?" Naruto Said as he rubbed his hurt side.
Temari mentioned Sasuke by her eyes, who was surrounded with the girls again.
"Why don't you go like other girls around him?" asked Naruto.
"Because. Now go & get him before any girl can snatch him away!"
"Why don't you send Gaara or Kankuro to get him, hum?"
"He is YOUR friend!"
"Who said he is MY friend?"
"You said so."
"When did I say that? I said I know him, as far as I remember."
"Are you going or not?" she said as he broke her knuckles.
Naruto took the hint & shook his head slightly & walked to Sasuke.
"Hey Uchiha!" He called him as he tried to pass the thick wall of girls but his voice lost in girl's shouts, praises & questions. He walked to his friends again.
"See? I tried & failed now let's go…" he said as he tried to pass Temari.
"You're not going anywhere mister." Said Temari & caught the back of his shirt & turned him, then pushed him forcefully toward the crowed.
It seemed that Temari pushed him very hard, that's why he lost his control & ran to the crowed while he shouted in surprise.
The girls stood a side when saw the blonde was running towards them. Naruto closed his eyes when he got nearer & nearer. He expected to run into one of the girls. But that didn't happen.
The next thing, took everyone's breathe away…
Everything happened in one blink.
Naruto felt he landed on something soft but at the same time firm & his lips were touching something smooth. The softness made him to moan. He opened his eyes slowly & stared into two ebony shocked orbs.
He didn't comprehend for a moment about what happened.
Click…click…click…click…DING!
Summer sky eyes went as wide as a plate & pull his head backward. He looked around & found himself in a very embarrassing & awkward position.
The softness was nothing but Sasuke Uchiha! He was landed on him while his eyes were closed. His left foot was between the raven's, his whole body was pressing against his, & his SPECIFIC area was on the raven's one. & his pink lips …were touching another pair which was underneath his.
'Oh MY DEAR GOD!' thought Naruto as he tried to stand up but that made the situation worse. When he tried to stand he rubbed his leg near the raven's LOWER part,& the quickness made him slipped & press his groin on the man's one under him subconsciously. His face now was the color of ripped tomato; even his ears & neck were red too. He put himself together & tried again, & this time he succeeded & stood up. He picked his black hat on the hand rest of the chair & rushed out of the door without looking back at Uchiha or anyone else.
Sasuke, on the other hand, was speechless. He was still shocked about what happened. He touched his lips slowly. He couldn't believe it! Naruto had just kissed him! He knew so well that it was an accidental kiss, but the kiss was a kiss! He moaned in his lips! HELL He couldn't even imagine he could get one so soon. & he rubbed his; I mean HIS lovely groin on Sasuke's. Was this a dream?
A warm feeling rushed through his body when he touched his lips & felt Naruto's soft one on his again. When he came back to his scenes he couldn't see his blonde around. He must be ran away, & maybe thought that maybe he didn't like the kiss & made him to hate him or something. Or maybe he just embarrassed about it.
An evil smirk appeared on his rosy lips. Maybe he could get some FUN through this hole thing before he made him his.
'My poor & innocent Dobe, you can't run away from me. You'll be mine & mine alone, so soon, so soon.' He thought as he stood up & cleaned his pants & shirt. Then, stood up, shove his hands in his pockets & walked out of the door.
Nobody talked, nobody even blink. After a several minuets a long blond haired girl with crystal blue eyes broke the silent while she was trying to clean the blood which was running from her nose.
"Does anyone have me a tissue paper?"
Let's back to Naruto…
He was almost running with his jelly foot to nowhere, he didn't know where he was going. When he came back to present he found himself in male's restroom. He closed the door quickly, locked it & leant on it.
He covered his face with his hand & tried to control his uneven breathes & hurt beats. He took some deep breathes to calm himself. He walked to the sink & turned the cold water on. He splashed the cold water on his flushed & heated face & turned it off. Then pushed his wet hands through his blond hair & pushed it backward.
He looked at himself in the mirror in front of him. His cheeks were still pink but his face wasn't red anymore. He brushed his fingers on his lips. The pictures of the event danced in front of his eyes.
"What the hell just happened?" he whispered to himself.
He kissed the black haired man in front of all the officers in the saloon! In front of his FANGIRLS! He knew how they could be dangerous!
A shiver ran up & down his spine.
The picture of the kiss came in front of his eyes again, & he remembered the midnight orbs he looked into. He didn't see disgust or hate in them. He just saw surprise; pure surprise.
'Maybe he just too surprise to show any emotions or expressions.' Naruto felt a little disappointed as he though about it.
When he thought about the kiss, he felt butter flies in his stomach.
Did he like the kiss? Was he attracting to the raven boy? Did Sasuke feel the same as Naruto when he accidentally kissed him? Did he feel butter flies in his stomach like Naruto right now?
Naruto sighed, frustrated from the questions which he couldn't answer.
He hanged his head down. He couldn't deny that he liked the brunette from the beginning & he couldn't deny that he liked the accidental kiss but…
'What if he wasn't gay?'
That thought was annoying him, though he couldn't stop thinking about it.
He raised his head & looked in the mirror. But the picture in the mirror made him scream shortly.
The man in the mirror was just like him, same baby blue eyes & spiky blond hair, but without any whisker marks & much older face, who wore a dark brown shirt with white collar. He was smiling at him through the mirror.
Naruto blinked; when he saw that the man in the mirror didn't vanished he rubbed his eyes & blinked again. The man in the mirror was now chuckled soundlessly at his gesture. He turned & looked behind him as if someone was standing behind him but found no one.
He stretched his right hand & put it on the mirror. The coldness of the surface tickled his palm. He couldn't believe his eyes. The man in the mirror smiled & put his hand on Naruto's from other side of the mirror. Suddenly his palm got a little warmer, like there was not anything between them. The warmth ran through his body & made it felt calm & safe. Safe like he was home again. He knew who could make him feel this safe & warm. But that was imposible…
"Dad?" asked Naruto, his voice cracked in his throat.
The man in the mirror nodded & grinned. His grin was so alike Naruto's.
"Is that really you?" the man in the mirror nodded again but this time smiled sadly.
"But how…?" he interrupted with a knock on the door.
"Hey, is anyone there?" a familiar voice shouted from other side of the door.
Naruto startled of sudden knock & looked at the door for a moment, but when he looked back at the mirror he didn't see anything except his reflection. The warmth & the safe feeling had disappeared; he could feel the coldness of the glass again. He blinked again but nothing happened.
He was gone.
His hand on the mirror slipped on the mirror & fell next to his right side. Did his mind trick him? If that so, what was the warm feeling he felt from his palm when his father's hand touched his from the other side? It's getting so complicated… so much for a day…
He turned the cold water on again & splashed more water on his face. Then turned the water off & walked to the door & unlocked it.
He came face to face with Kakashi.
"I finally find you! Why did you lock the door? Why didn't you answer me when I called you, what… Naru-Chan? Hey Naru-Chan?" Kakashi was getting concern because the lack of answers & the sad expression on the blond's handsome face.
"Are you ok?" said Kakashi as he put his hand on the blondes shoulder.
He came back to earth with the soft touch.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm ok."
Kakashi didn't push the subject & said:
"OK then, cheer up! You passed the hardest part! The next examination will start in 2 minutes! Come on! We don't want to miss it, do we?" said Kakashi happily & walked a head of Naruto.
Naruto stood there & watched Kakashi walking away.
A small smile moved his lips upward, and then walked a little fast to Kakashi's side. Then harmonized his steps with Kakashi & walked with him in one line. His right hand was fisted beside his side.
The small smile didn't disappear till the end of the day.
