Fire and Water

Juugo's POV

I hate soap operas. I hate them with a burning fiery passion. Why if soap operas were people, I'd make Itachi's genocide look like killing ants by killing all of them. And this…thing between Sasuke and Suigetsu was none other than a soap opera.

They both continue to deny that the other has feeling for him. It's stupid! And I continue to talk to both of them, yet they're still bind to the truth. I'm sick of all this tension going around.

To my right was Sasuke sleeping fitfully who was whispering "don't go, Suigetsu" repeatedly. His voice sounded so close to losing it, like at any second he would break out crying and curl into the fetal position with the classic rocking motion added. To my left, Suigetsu was softly crying and occasionally whispering Sasuke's name.

Do I feel remorse?

Hell no. These two dumbasses are in love and they're too dense to accept it… especially Sasuke.

This crap had to end soon or else I'll never get another full night's sleep.

I need to go kill something. But that's not going to solve my problem, now is it.

I looked at both boys.

How to get them to realize their feelings…?

I glanced over from one sleeping figure to the other then an evil smirk made its way to my face.

Well for one these two are so awfully far a part.

I stood up heading for Suigetsu knowing better than to carry Sasuke. None to gently I picked up the sleeping shark by his shirt. He only let a strangled sound then went quiet again.

Heavy ass sleeper.

I silently made my way over to the Uchiha. Once there, I then placed Suigetsu right next to Sasuke.

Said boy whispered his line for the night again, "Please don't go, Suigetsu."

And to my surprise Suigetsu whispered, "Sasuke…I won't."

At Suigetsu's voice Sasuke's face became peaceful.

I bent down and checked to see if they were still sleeping—they were. I stared at them and shrugged it off. I moved back to my own spot and sat down. They still hadn't changed their original positions. I knew that if they weren't going to put themselves in a cuddly position—I would. And I'm not afraid to make it dirty.

I was about to stand up when Suigetsu rolled over onto Sasuke's shoulder so that he was face to face with Sasuke. Suigetsu let out a contented sigh as Sasuke's arm wrapped around Suigetsu's waist. Surprisingly Sasuke pulled him closer so that Suigetsu's head rested in the crook of Sasuke's neck.

Cute...

Not.

Suigetsu nuzzled against Sasuke and in response Sasuke kissed his head.

I smirked then closed my eyes.

"I WASN'T STRANGLING HIM!!" one voice shouted.

"THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE? YOU WERE ALL OVER POOR SASUKE!" another voice said.

I allowed a soft groan to pass my lips before I opened my eyes. An angry Karin was standing in front of Sasuke facing Suigetsu who was standing where he had originally dropped off to sleep. And Sasuke was just staring at Suigetsu.

"ALL OVER? HE WAS THE ONE WHO HAD HIS ARM AROUND MY WAIST! I WENT TO SLEEP RIGHT WHERE I'M STANDING."

Karin was red in the face and Suigetsu was glowering with a blush on his face.

"Suigetsu..." Sasuke started in an attepmt to calm him down.

"NO. SHUT UP SASUKE,"

Karin opened her mouth.

"YOU TOO, BITCH."

Karin closed her mouth angrily. Suigetsu turned around and stormed out into the forest. Sasuke stood up but I was already at the entrance from where Suigetsu dissappeared.

"I got him," I said.

I could feel Sasuke's glare trying to flay me alive. I smirked.

Looks aren't going to do everything Sasuke.

Following the chakara of the shark, I continued to walk into the forest. Soon I came to a small area where a figure was curled up against a tree. Suigetsu's head shot up when he heard me.

"Oh...hey Juugo," he said.

I sat down next to him and there was nothing but silence.

Plan Cuddles is complete; Plan Therapy is in commence.

"I don't know how I ended up in...his arms."

I looked over at the boy whose cheeks were dusted a bright pink. He brought out his water bottle and began drinking furiously.

After he stopped he said, "I wouldn't put it past me to sleep walk. There's no way he...would--"

The bottle was attached to his lips again.

"I liked it, though...shit I loved it. It was warm. I felt safe and secured and...loved. Waking up to his warm breath on my face, his peaceful face...it was perfect, until Karin started screaming. But...I'd give anything to experience it again."

I looked at him and he was staring out into the forest in a kind of daze.

"Last night was actually the first night in three weeks that I was actually able to sleep," Suigetsu softly said.

A moment of silence passed. "Why don't you approach him again?" I asked.

"...I already know his answer. You wanna know what he said exactly three weeks ago? 'That's unfortunate.' He hurt me bad. I can't explain it. It still hurts now, but I...I love and respect Sasuke too much to bring this up again when he already gave me an answer. As they say it's better to have loved and lost than to never love at all."

Suigetsu...I know what you mean. And I know what you're feeling, but this isn't your fault. It's Sasuke's. What I don't understand is why he pushed you away? It's so obvious he wants you.

"Juugo?"

"Hmm?"

"Thanks...for liste--what the hell?"

I pulled Suigetsu to his feet and began dragging him back to where we camped.

"Could at least let go of my hand?" he asked.

"Do you want Sasuke?" I asked over my shoulder.

Before he could answer, we had arrived back at the camp. Karin eating an apple while Sasuke had been pacing. He stopped and saw our hands joined; he glared at me. I smirked widely.

So, that's what gets your blood boiling. Let's see if we can get it hot enough for action.

I sat down and then dragged Suigetsu right onto my lap. He landed and before he could get up I wrapped my arms around him.

"J-Juugo, w-what are you doing?" Suigetsu questioned.

I stared at Sasuke as I placed my head on Suigetsu's shoulder. Behind his stoic facade that was slowly breaking I could see him seething. His hands that were at his side were clenching and unclenching.

Jealousy thy name is Sasuke Uchiha.

I blew on the back of Suigetsu's neck and he let out a short breathy moan. Suigetsu was now trying to squirm out of my grip.

Not until Sasuke comes and claims you.

I looked at Sasuke who was still trying to contain his anger but he wasn't doing a very good job of it.

All we need is the icing on the cake

I stuck my tounge out and got closer to Suigetsu's cheek.

All of a sudden a figure was in front of both Suigetsu and me. Suigetsu immediately stopped squirming and let out a sound that resembled a whimper. Sasuke's eyes were narrowed down to slits. The stare that he was giving me would kill any regular ninja, but I'm already dead. Psychotic remember?

"Might want to mind where you put your tongue," an extremely chilly voice said.

"UHH, WHAT?! TONGUE!?" Suigetsu shouted cluelessly.

"What are you gonna do about it?" I asked.

Sasuke growled, yes I said growled and ripped Suigetsu from my arms then threw him over his own shoulder. He then walked off into the forest while carrying a confused shark on his shoulder. Karin, who witnessed the whole thing, was staring at me.

"What the hell?" she asked.

"Don't worry about it," I said.

Mission accomplished.


A/N: How did you guys like cupid Juugo? I think he might have been OOC so I'm sorry about that. Guess what for the people who care, I got to see the fourth Indiana Jones movie! I thought it was okay. Other three were much better. Anyhoo, REVIEW! And have an awesome summer and for the people that aren't in summer yet...ha ha...jk, I sympathize.

P.S: I'm getting sad this story is almost over! Well I'm going to enjoy torturing Sasuke as much as possible.

P.P.S: Sorry for any grammar, spelling, and anything else mistakes because I don't have a beta reader and it's kind of too late to get one since this story is almost over.
