Hey everyone who read the previous chapter, as you know Natsume left, Sasuke balled, and he is a emotional wreck. He still maybe a lot of OOC, and Naruto maybe too, I'm banking on him being at least a bit more smarter than usual, anyway...uh...maybe just read and find out if he is, and see how Natsu's doing. If it's not too much trouble for you. :D

LATER THAT DAY

After Sasuke emotions were everywhere he couldn't tell if he wanted to cry yell or just lay there. He chose to stay in bed and constantly call Natsume, damanding, asking, and begging her to come home in each voice mail. 'Natsume if you get this, I just...I just..(sniffs) uh just call me back. I uh sent fourty other ones, and yeah, call me.' His voice sounded weak and desperate. Not the prodigy and well known business man everyone use to know. He sniffed again and got out of bed for the door bell rang. When he got to it he was greeted, by the three people he was closest to. "Congrats Sasuke! We heard you made partner!" Kiba gave him a hug. They all walked past him and went to the living room. "Sasuke whats wrong? Have you been crying? Tears of joy huh buddy." Kiba touched his shoulder, to have his hand slapped away. "Oww, I was just asking, Shikamaru what's wrong with Sasuke he hit me." Kiba cried, Shika just sighed.

"What happened Sasuke?" Choji grabbed something off the coffee table. "Do you need anything troublesome cause I won't be able to help if it is." Kiba went to a blushing bloody nosed choji.

"What's with you Ch-" He froze. "Waaa!" Blood shot out his nose and he fell to the floor, gushing freely. Soon passing out.

"What are you two bleeding for? I'm not picking up anything." He walked to Choji, and froze juat as Kiba. "How troublesome." Blood dripped from his nose, but he whipped it away just as quickly. "(sigh) Natsu is gone." He stated as he made the blood stop.

"What do you mean Shikamaru?" Choji continued watching, gaining something very usual in the lower region.

"I'm guessing, Sakura showed that tape to Natsume at the party last night, and Natsume confronted Sasuke, and Sasuke, as usual, didn't say anything, so she left him. And now Sasuke is dragging now that he realzies he needs Natsume. Just troublesome." He stated scratching his head.

"How do you know?" Kiba came back from uncontiousness.

"It's a drag but you guys have to take care of Sasuke."

"Well I think we should come back later, or tomorrow." Choji piped in, they all agreed to come back later tomorrow.

TO NATSUME

She had been driving non-stop since the latest events occurred, she was heading to a certain blonds house. She finally made her decision after driving aimlessly through the area. When she got to a red light, she text him. 'Hey Naru its Natsu, I was just wondering if it was alright for me to stay with you for a few days?' It took him a hour to reply. 'Of course, but I have to clean everything, so you can be comfortable. I'll have a room ready when you get here.' She smiled at the text, and decided she would cook for him, it's the least she could do. She stopped by the market. She wondered by the meat.

"Natsu-chan!" She whipped her head around to see the Inuzuka.

"KIBA!" She ran and jumped into his embrace. She was really glad to see the Inuzuka it felt like ages.

"Where have you been? We were so worried, Sasuke said you weren't at the house at the end of the party and- (gasps) Sasuke he's so worried. and-" He paused, she smiled sadly, knowing he knew. "I'm so sorry, if I knew-" She shook her head.

"Don't worry about it. I'm glad I ran into you, but right now I have to go." She walked out with a few thing and her last stop is Naruto's house. When she got to his house she couldn't help but smile. She grabbed her suit case and back pack from her trunk, and knocked on his door. A few minutes later it flung open revealing a cheesy smiling Uzumaki Naruto. She was about to speak but was pulled into a big warm hug.

"Hey Natsu, you can stay as long as you like. We'll have a blast. BELIEVE IT!" He swung her around into the house and sat her down to get her luggage. "Follow me I'll show you to your room." He said walking down a long hall. He opened a door to the right. "Here you can get settled in and I'll make some tea." He left. She was amazed, it was pure blue, the walls, the bed sheets, and blankets, and bathroom towels, and even the bathroom decorations.

"Wow, this is beautiful." She mumbled. after looking around she plopped on the queen size bed, and buried her face in the sweet scented pillow, not too long after she went to sleep. Naruto returned seeing she didn't even unpack, he went to the side of the bed, to place the tea down.

"Ne Natsu-chan?" He touched her shoulder. She groaned and looked at him. "You okay?" She sighed and sat up.

"Yeah I'm fine."

"You're not pregnant are you?" She laughed.

"No, I'm not." (A:N: She was secretly wishing she was though. ;) poor Natsume.)

"Do you need anything? Are you hungry?" She shook her head. He pouted. "You don't have to act like that with me. we're basically best friends right? Or at least that's what I was hoping." She couldn't hold back the smile itching at her lip.

"Yeah, we are." She pushed herself into his arms, hooking her arms under his shoulder blades. He hesitated but his made their way around her perfect figure. He blushed, but held her until she wanted him to let go.

"You sure you're okay?" She nodded.

"Why don't I make you something other than Ramen anything at all." He grimaced.

"Anything but Ramen?" She nodded, he thought about it for a while. "Ooo I know, how about Spicy Curry?" She smiled.

"Perfect." She pushed out of bed and ran down the hall and into the kitchen. Not too long after her phone started buzzing and making noise like crazy. She checked it and she had forty two miss calls and forty one voice mails.

"Something's wrong with your phone." Naruto said walking past her to the refrigerator.

"Yeah it has the Sasuke virus."

"What is a Sasuke virus? I've never heard of that." Her clueless friend looked over her shoulder. "Oh, you mean he won't stop calling and all that." He pointed at all the voice mails, she only nodded and continued to cook. He grabbed her phone, and pressed a few keys. 'Natsume where the hell are you? I've been calling since the party. Give me a call back as soon as you get this.' Naruto glanced at her, she shrugged. He may not be the brightest of a huge bunch but anyone could tell something was wrong. "Wanna talk about it?" She shook her head no. Finally after. two long hours of sweating over the stove together, laughing, joking, fooling around...well naruto was doing most of that and just making her laugh.

"And that's how you make Spicy Curry Naruto." He gave his dazzling cheesy smile. Although he was really worried about his Natsu-chan. They ate in silence. After dinner they went to Naruto's large living room and watched a few movies. "Naruto...I really am greatful for all this, I'll try to repay you best I can." She stood from the couch when the movie was over. So did he.

"It's no big deal Natsu-chan I actually enjoy your stay here." She blushed and walked up to him, she planted her hands on his firm chest to keep her balance, and planted a soft kiss on the right side of his jaw line. He froze, blushing, and slightly getting a nose bleed as her chest rubbed against his body. (A:N: Ya know its starting to seem like Natsume is a tease without even noticing. :/ I'll have to try and change that.)

"Good night Naruto." She walked in the dark hallway, and he watched her fade into the shadows.

"Good night Natsume-hime." A small smile formed on his face as he made his way to his room.
