STORY

Sasuke POV

After Naruto had left Sasuke had waited 5 hours before he had started to worry about what happened to the blond dobe. He had decided that it would be best to check with Tsunade to see what was going on first before he started to panic though. When he got to the Hokage mansion Tsunade was out on business so he had to wait another hour before she showed up again.

He would have been worried about her appearance if he wasn't so worried about Naruto, but she did look horrible. Her hair was a mess she was sweating and her breathing seemed a little off, she looked the same way he did after he had just used a great deal of chakra.

"Tsunade-sama, have you see Naruto?" He asked as soon as he saw her.

"Yes, he's out on a mission for the time being…" She sounded bad too.

"What's his mission? When will he be back?" Nami was a missing Nin even if Naruto wasn't, if some one managed to remove the henge on him…

"It's S-classified, you don't need to know"

"S-ranked!? What if some one finds him out?!"

Tsunade sighed, she was tired after performing that jutsu on Naruto and Sasuke was taking up too much of her energy, "Sasuke, this doesn't concern you. I would like you to leave and go home. That is you mission for today, go home"

"Then I won't do the mission, I want to know where Naruto is. I saw the letter, it said you were going to turn him back into a boy, is that true?"

She sighed, Naruto could be an anbu but he still forgot the simple things of hiding messages… "Yes, it's true"

"Where is he?"

"Naruto told me to tell you not to worry, he is fine and he will see you in 3 days"

"Where is he?" he asked again, his voice getting more threatening.

"…he's in the sealing room; you know the same one that unlocked his memories" Sasuke took off not waiting for her to say anything more; he wasn't going to let her stall him.

He dashed into the room, there on the ground in a bundle was Naruto, he could tell it was him from his bright yellow hair. "Naruto… Naruto" he muttered as he got closer to the blond and saw that he had a sheen of sweat on his face, which was tear streaked. "You're okay Naruto, I'm here now" He sat beside Naruto and pulled him up so he was leaning against him as he rubbed him back.

Naruto's lips were pale from pursing them so hard; he must be in so much pain… He thought as the night carried on.

He continued to talk to Naruto, for his comfort or for his own he did not know. Until Naruto Let out the most blood curdling scream Sasuke had ever heard come from him, but then again, he never heard Naruto scream. "Naruto!" He looked down at the blond and started talking, just rambling trying to give Naruto something other than the pain to concentrate on "2 more days Naruto, only 2 more days"

He watched the whole time. Naruto never opened his mouth after his first outburst. Sasuke waited holding Naruto as his body convulsed and thrashed. He had noticed that at the end of the first day Narutos changes had already started to become more noticeable. He ran his hand across Narutos pale face. 2 more days.

ONE DAY LATER

Sasuke glanced at Naruto, he had hardly stirred the past couple of hours. If it weren't for his heart beat he would have thought he was dead.

Naruto looked more like a man now at least, his chest was flat and he had lost most of his curves, unfortunately for Sasuke the more Naruto started to look like a guy the more attracted he felt to him. Naruto twitched for the first time in hours, at first Sasuke thought the transformation was complete until he saw Naruto lips get taunt again.

"One more day Naruto and then we can leave" he whispered, and to his surprise, Naruto nodded his head. They would be out of here soon.

LAST DAY

Naruto had been thrashing around more than he had in the last couple of days. Sasuke was having a hard time keeping him from injuring himself even though Naruto was tied up. To say the least Sasuke was going to be very happy when Naruto woke up.

"Naruto…" He spoke trying to get the dobe to listen to him "Naruto, Naruto, you'll be fine, I'm here, don't worry" Narutos thrashing seemed to lessen up a bit after that. Sasuke sighed as he held Naruto close to him. Over the last few days Sasuke had found out that he loved Naruto, though he wasn't sure he wanted that information public… yet.

Every time he held Naruto close he could feel it in his heart. Something he hadn't felt in years. He wasn't sure if his feelings had always been there for the dobe, all he knew now was that Naruto was awakening something in his soul he hadn't felt in years, and it scared him. He didn't want these feelings, the last he felt this—he had been in so much pain because of it. For now he would be happy just to have Naruto in his life, he wouldn't get to close, because he wasn't ready for that.

Sasuke stared down at Naruto and he was surprised to see Naruto staring back up at him with a very blank look. Sasuke yelled in surprise.

"Naruto! What the hell! If you were up you should have told me!" He was standing now and pointing at Naruto as he tried to get his heart rate back to normal.

"Sorry, I was trying to remember what was going on" Sasuke's ragged breathing returned to normal as he leaned over and untied Naruto "Thanks, you know… for everything" Sasuke nodded still on too much of an adrenaline high to give an answer. Naruto stood up slowly. Sasuke stared; the dobe was taller than him! Naruto looked down at him "Hey, check it! I'm tall!" Sasuke took a step back still staring, then he smiled.

"You look great in that skirt" Naruto looked down and blushed causing Sasukes smile to get bigger.

Naruto then hendged into a form that would fit the dirty skirt "Hey Sasuke, I was thinking…."

"…yes"

"Well you think we could keep my existence a secret for a little longer, you know until I'm all healed up" Sasuke stared at him blankly, he'd been gone for 6 years he expected him to want to see everyone again. Naruto seemed to understand the look Sasuke was giving him because he started speaking again "You know, cause Sakura's gonna kill me and if she's gonna do that I at least want to be in the condition to run…" Sasuke could see it now, Sakura would be so happy to see Naruto that she would unload everything on Naruto. She would beat him for not coming back sooner and hug him because she had missed him, and she would cry and the list went on and on…

"I think we can do that Naruto, come on lets go home"

Naruto smiled his full blown smile "Yes" and jogged out of the sealing room with Sasuke. Sasuke smiled, they would take things in stride as they hit them, but they would be okay, they had each other.

"You want ramen dobe?"

"I told you to stop calling me that!"

And they made their way to the ramen stand.
