"Sasuke? Are you almost ready?"

There was no reply, and Naruto Uzumaki let out an impatient sigh before poking his head around the corner. He frowned as he spied the raven standing idly in his temporary bedroom. "What are you doing?

Sasuke Uchiha scowled at the blonde. "This is stupid."

"No, it isn't."

The teen turned to face Naruto and scrutinized his outfit critically. "What are you?" He asked, raising a skeptical brow.

"I'm Hokage, obviously. And where is your costume?"

"I don't know what to be."

Naruto grumbled in irritation, outraged at loosing precious time. All the candy will be gone by the time we make it out the front door.

"You could always just be yourself. You're scary enough," he suggested with an impish grin. "But hurry – everyone's waiting!"

Sasuke shook his head and paced over to the window. With the drapes held in his hands, he looked on into the night. "Go on without me."

Naruto's smile slipped. Advancing slowly, he asked, "Sasuke, what's wrong?"

"Nothings wrong."

"Sasuke, trust me, okay?" Naruto cried. "You've stopped talking to me. We were doing so good!"

"You stopped caring."
