Chapter Seven: Appearing at School

'Sasuke, Sai, Sasuke, Sai...Sasuke, Sai...'

"What are you doing, otouto?"

"Hm?" the blond glanced at the door and saw his brother. "Aniki... Nothing much...just thinking about stuff..."

"Is it about Sasuke?" the redhead asked, walking towards the bed.

The kitsune blinked a few times and sat on the bed. "...how did you know?"

"Why else would I be your brother then?"

Naruto smiled weakly before turning back to his front. He shook his head a few times and leaned against the taller guy's shoulder. Kyuubi just kept quiet and let him do so as he patted the boy's back several times. The both of them stayed like that until the door was suddenly knocked and their mother entered the room.

"...what's wrong, Naruto-chan?" she asked concernedly.

"Teenage problems, you know..." his brother quickly replied, flashing a smile at the red-haired woman who just made an 'o' with her mouth. "...what are you doing here anyways, Mom?"

With that, she nodded. "Ah, yes... Um...Naruto-chan? Your friend's here. What was his name again...Sa-Sa-something..."

"Is it Sasuke?"

"Ah, that's right!" the redhead beamed. "He's downstairs, and he said he has something quite important to tell you."

Immediately, the blond stood up and walked out of the room, his face lightening up. His mother blinked a few times and turned to Kyuubi who just grinned and shrugged. She made a thoughtful face before smiling and going out of the room as well. She then slowly walked down the stairs and watched as Naruto jogged towards the hall.

"Sasuke!"

"...Naruto."

"What are you doing here?" the boy asked.

"I need to tell you something," the raven replied. "But not now. I'll meet you at your school tomorrow morning."

The blond blinked. "...demo..."

"No buts, dobe... Just come to the school the very first thing when you go to school tomorrow, okay?" the taller guy then began to walk towards the main door. "Remember, I'll be waiting for you..."

"S-Sasuke!"

Sasuke stopped walking and glanced at the smaller boy. Immediately, the kitsune slowed down his pace until he stopped right behind the vampire. Furroiwng his brows a bit, he looked up at the raven who was about a foot taller than him. 'Geez...why must I be so short?' he thought before going back to the main point.

"...nani?"

"...nothing..." he looked to the side, already forgetting what he wanted to say. "I'll just...see you tomorrow..."

"Hn...one thing..."

"Hm?"

He looked up and immediately widened his eyes. The taller guy had leaned down and kissed him right on the lips. Blushing, he frozed at the spot, not knowing what to do. After a few seconds, Sasuke parted from him with a smirk. Frowning, Naruto puffed his cheeks with the blush still seen clearly on both of the whiskered skin.

"What did you do that for, teme?!"

"Just cleaning you," he replied, still smirking. "From the son-of-a-bitch's poison..."

"...y-you mean..."

"Yeah, I saw it..." he breathed out.

At this, the boy pouted. "Why didn't you stop him then?"

"...I'll tell you that tomorrow..." he smiled and turned around. "Ja ne, dobe..."

"Teme..." the blond said as he watched the raven walked out of the house.


The next morning...

"Who was that last night, Naruto-chan?"

"Sasuke? A friend of mine..."

"A special one?"

"Huh?" Naruto choked on his bread and coughed a few times. "...of course not, Mom! We're just friends, okay?"

"Really? Why did he kiss you then?" she asked, smiling as she rested her elbow on the table.

"Y-you...saw it?"

His mother nodded, her eyes in the shape of upside-down Us. Immediately, the kitsune blushed and quickly finished his breakfast. Then, he got up from the dining table, put the dish on the sink and walked out of the dining hall. After saying goodbye to the two redheads, he started walking to school alone.

'I wonder what Sasuke wants... Can he even appear during the day?' he thought as he walked. 'He didn't tell me that, did he? That teme... And hell, he even kissed me last night! Teme! ...speaking about the kiss...Sai kissed me as well, didn't he? And Sasuke knows about it... I wonder why he didn't stop Sai when he saw us...'

"Oi dobe, you're late..."

"Hm?"

The blond looked up and met eyes with the raven who was smiling sweetly. Seeing the genuine smile, he immediately blushed and looked to the side. He then glanced back at the taller guy and noticed he was wearing the same clothes as he was - the school uniform. Blinking a few times, he walked towards the vampire.

"What are you doing in that uniform?"

"I'm going on a date..." Sasuke joked bluntly. "Of course I'm going to school, dobe..."

"But why? And how the hell can you get out under the sunlight? You've never told me that, teme," the boy frowned slightly.

The raven smiled again, making the blond's breath hitched slightly. "Well...let's just say I'm a new student who had just transferred here from...somewhere... And the reason I can get under the sunlight... I think the one who can answer that question is your red-haired friend..."

"...you mean, Gaara?"

"..."

"No way..."

"Yes way...my friend..."

While they were talking - or pretty much arguing, two boys suddenly approached them. "Yo, Naruto! Ohayo! Who's this? A friend of yours?"

"Kiba, ohayo," Naruto replied, turning to his friend with a forced smile. "This is my...friend! Yeah, friend... He's a new student here...and he moved to the house next to mine! Anyways, um...Kiba, Gaara, this is Uchiha Sasuke. And Sasuke, this is Inuzuka Kiba and Sabaku no Gaara. Um...you've already known Gaara, right?"

"That's right, Naruto-kun... It's been a while since we last saw each other, hasn't it...Gaara?" he smirked at the redhead.

"...yeah...Uchiha Sasuke..."

"Nani? This means I'm the only one who doesn't know about Sasuke?! Man, this sucks!"

The kitsune giggled. "Don't worry, you'll get to know him soon, Kiba. Anyways, let's hurry to class! The bell's going to ring soon!"
