Warning: boy/boy (OC/Naruto, Naruto/Sasuke, Sai/Naruto) Do Not Read If This Offends You! NO FLAMES!

Splash! A bucket of cold water was splashed over at Naruto who sputtered it out all over him. "What did you do that for?" He screeched as he opened up his eyes and he saw Kakashi and Sasuke standing before him and he also noticed Sasuke holding an empty bucket in his hands.

"We've been awake for about an hour looser. You should be as well," Sasuke said.

"What? Why should I be if we aren't leaving yet?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke frowned as he looked at Kakashi. "The medical team are here to support Princess Ai. They got here early in the morning," Kakashi explained.

Naruto blinked, "Does that mean we're leaving?" He asked surprised.

"Are you upset that you're leaving your boyfriend, looser?" Sasuke asked jealousy.

"What! Of course not!" Naruto snapped as he thought back to what Kazuki told him last night before going to bed.

"Kazuki wants to see you in his room," Sasuke added as he left the room to go and find Sakura.

Naruto nodded slowly as he have to asked Kakashi where Kazuki's room was and he nodded as he stood up and gotten dressed as he went to go find Kazuki.

Naruto was about half way to Kazuki's room when he heard a voice coming out off the door. He quickly hid behind the wall to evasdrop what the two were speaking about.

"Kazuki, do you really mean it? I mean, do you really love me?" The voice asked as Naruto's eyes widened in surprised. He didn't heard Kazuki's answer as he knew he was too far to hear it. "Oh," the voice said sadly, "so I'm just second rate?" The voice asked unhappily.

Naruto frowned, second rate? What does that mean? He thought unhappily.

"When could I see you again?" The voice asked hopefully. Naruto waited for a moment as he knew that Kazuki was answering him back. "I understand sir. I guess it was too good to be true," the voice said sadly and Naruto heard footsteps going away as he knew that the voice was not a girl but a boy about his age as well and that he was going to the opposite way then where Naruto was standing.

Naruto was about to step aside from the wall as he heard Kazuki coming out from his room quickly. "Akira! Wait a moment!" He cried and Naruto waited for a moment before he knew it was clear for him to go through the hallway.

He stepped out off behind the wall and he saw Kazuki looking down with an sad look on his face. "Hey Kazuki," Naruto said with a smile.

"Naruto," Kazuki said with a small smile, "you actually came," he said nervously.

Naruto blinked as he knew why he was acting so nervous. "Why wouldn't I? I mean, I have to say my final good-bye to you personally now you know," he said.

Kazuki smiled, "Let me offer you a drink," he said as he was beginning to go inside.

Naruto shook his head, "I just want to make this quick Kazuki," he began.

Kazuki frowned as he looked at Naruto, "What are you implying Naruto?" He asked.

Naruto took a deep breath before answering Kazuki. "I'm going back to Konoha with my friends. I don't want to be left behind here Kazuki. I mean, it was great knowing each and one of you, but you have to take action now. You can protect your sister if you train hard enough. Just like I know a certain someone who only has taijutsu like you," Naruto explained with a smile.

Kazuki stared at Naruto. "Are you sure this is what you want Naruto? I mean, this is your last chance," Kazuki said as he knew he couldn't force the boy to stay with him and protect his sister and village.

Naruto nodded as he was following where his heart was leading him to. "I'm certain Kazuki. I'm sorry that I have disappointed you," he said.

Kazuki shook his head, "You shouldn't be apologizing Naruto. This is what you want and you should do it," he said as he leaned forward and gave a final good-bye kiss on Naruto's cheek. "Your teammates are awaiting for you. You should go," he said slowly.

Naruto nodded, "What about you?" He asked.

"I'll have to go and see my sister and we'll show you out off Land of Clouds," Kazuki said.

Naruto nodded, "I'll see yea later then Kazuki," he said smiling as he ran off to join his teammates.

"So what did you and lover boy spoke about?" Sasuke asked as soon as he saw Naruto heading towards him as Sasuke was sitting Indian style on the floor ground in front of the guestroom.

Naruto glared, "Where's Sakura and Kakashi?" He asked.

Sasuke snorted, "Probably sneaking around somewhere and making out," he muttered.

"Ah shuddup. They're both good to each other," Naruto said as he sat down next to him.

Sasuke looked at him, "Shouldn't you be with Kazuki?" He asked unhappily.

Naruto frowned, "Whatever happened during the fight with Raidon, Sasuke? While I was gone, did your seal opened up?" He asked worriedly as he ignored the question.

Sasuke looked down, "It did but I controlled it though," he said.

"You should talk to Anko about it Sasuke. I don't want people's thoughts becoming true that you'll be the next 'Orochimaru,'" Naruto said.

"Believe me, I won't become the next psycho freak," Sasuke said.

"You better hope not," Naruto said sternly.

Sasuke looked at him surprised, "I wonder Naruto, when have you've been a mother hen to me?" He asked smirking.

"S-Shut up!" Naruto cried as Sasuke laughed.

"Hey, what's that noise?" Sakura asked Kakashi as the two came around the corner of the building and heard laughter.

"That sounds like Sasuke," Kakashi said and the two came around the corner and saw that it was Sasuke who was laughing hysterically.

"It's good to see Sasuke laughing like his having a good time again," Sakura said smiling.

Kakashi was about to say something but someone interrupted him before he could. "There you are! We thought that you guys left already!" The voice exclaim.

"Kazuki, Princess Ai!" Sakura greeted as the two newcomers came towards them as Naruto and Sasuke stood up from where there were sitting.

"I thought we agreed by seeing you off?" Princess Ai asked.

"We were just waiting for Naruto to come back from his meeting with Kazuki," Sakura explained.

"What meeting?" Princess Ai asked as she looked at her young brother who laughed nervously.

"Never mind that, we better go and see them off before it gets dark," Kazuki said quickly.

Princess Ai frowned as she looked at Kakashi, "Is your stuff packed?" She asked.

Kakashi nodded, "Even though it took a bit longer cause of Sasuke laughing his ass off when he saw Naruto's underwear," he said as Naruto blush bright red and Sasuke snickered.

Kazuki licked his lips, "They must have been cute," he said as Naruto's face couldn't be redder and Sasuke glared at him.

"C'mon Kazuki, let's wait for them at the front entrance," Princess Ai said as she dragged her brother away before Kazuki could protest or say anything.

"So this is where we part," Naruto said smiling sadly.

"We hope you guys would visit again," Princess Ai said smiling as she held her baby, Katsuya.

"We'll see," Sakura said.

"Good bye Naruto," Kazuki said as he went towards him and brushed his lips against his cheek making Naruto blushed and Sasuke fuming at the contact.

"Y-yea, see yea around Kazuki!" Naruto stuttered.

"Take care of him Sasuke," Kazuki said as Sasuke ignored the comment.

"See yea guys around!" Naruto said and with that statement, the group left the Land of Clouds and began journeying their own adventure back to Konoha.
