Chapter Twenty: Inner Thoughts

The next morning...

"Unn..."

Naruto woke up and rub his eyes. He looked to his right and saw the sleeping Uchiha. Then, he felt cool. He looked down and noticed his unbuttoned shirt. He looked back at the raven who was not wearing any shirt. He scratched his head, recalling about the night before. After a few seconds, he remembered what had happened.

'We were almost doing it... I wonder if he really did it?'

He touched his butt, but didn't felt anything. He sighed quietly, letting go of the ass-cheek. After that, he looked again at Sasuke who was turning his body around. He smiled and kissed the older chuunin's temple. Then, he pulled both his legs onto his chest and held them, sighing again as he rested his arms on his knees.

'Guess he didn't do it yet... Sakura, if what you told me is true...which part of me does he really love? Is it me myself...or just my body? Sasuke...'

He flopped his head into his own embrace, making a loud sigh. It woke the raven up. He blinked a few times and stared at the kitsune, wondering what was in his mind. Then, he pulled himself up and tapped the blond's head. Naruto looked up and met eyes with the Uchiha. He smiled weakly at the taller guy. Sasuke cocked his brow.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Um? Oh...nothing..."

The onyx-eyed boy frowned a bit. 'He's not being honest...maybe he's just embarrassed because of last night... Really, we almost did it a few times by now, shouldn't he figure it out already? Usuratonkachi...'

He smiled at that thought. Then, he pulled the kitsune towards him and kissed him lightly on the cheek, making the blond blushed slightly. "T-teme..." Naruto looked at him, holding his right cheek with his left hand. He quickly got out of the bed, throwing a pillow at the Uchiha before running into the bathroom. He managed to stuck out his tongue at Sasuke before entering the bath.

"Hn, dobe..."

'Aren't you mad at me for doing those stuffs with you, Naruto? Won't you be hating me for all those? Naruto, why won't you tell me what's in your mind...? Naruto...'

Later...

"Oi, Sasuke! Hurry up! Or else we'll be late!" Naruto called out from outside the mansion.

"Just wait up a moment, dobe! I'm not going to be long!"

Naruto frowned and waited under a sakura tree. "Teme..." 'Sasuke...will we continue to be like this...if I told you my feelings about you? Will it be the same? Will you even love me back? Sasuke?' he stared at the bright morning sky. Then, he closed his eyes, feeling the cool breeze. He could hear birds chirping happily and leaves rustling playfully around him. He smiled sweetly and opened his eyes, only to met eyes with the raven who was standing right in front of him.

"Wuah!"

"What are you doing, dobe?"

He blushed. "What are you doing, teme?! Being so close to me like that!"

"Hn..." was Sasuke's only reply as he began to walk away.

"Hey, wait for me, sasuke-teme!"

Two hours after that...

"Wah, I'm tired! Can't we rest for a while?" the kitsune whined.

"Don't be such a baby, Naruto!" the raven frowned. "We won't be stopping until another one hour! Now, move your lazy ass!"

The blond pouted, but nevertheless, he followed the Uchiha. 'Hmph! He never care about me! Baka! And I believed what Sakura-chan told me! Such a jerk he is!'

He sighed silently, making sure Sasuke didn't hear him. 'If he really loves me, why must he be so harsh on me? Why won't he be nicer to me? It's not like I made up my tiredness...I'm really tired... My head feels light right now...'

"Sasuke..."

"Hm?" the taller guy turned around and saw the blond holding his head as he rested a hand on a tree trunk, trying to stop himself form falling down. "Naruto?"

He quickly went to Naruto. "What's wrong, Naruto?"

"I...I'm...Sasuke...I..." he lost his consciousness and felt into Sasuke's arms.

After one hour...

"Un...?"

Naruto opened his eyes slowly. He held his aching head as he tried to find the Uchiha. But, unfortunately, he couldn't see the raven anywhere. He sighed and realised he was at the middle of a glade. He was by then sitting under a huge apple tree which was full of rich-red apples. He stared at the ripe apples. Suddenly, he stomach growled loudly.

"I'm hungry..." he said weakly as he held his stomach.

"Here, take this..."

"Huh?"

He turned around and noticed Sasuke standing beside him. "Sasuke? Where were you?"

The Uchiha took his place beside the kitsune, folding his legs together as he sat on the grass. "I went to get some water from the lake. Eat this, Naruto...you'll feel better..."

"Ramen?" the blond took the cup of miso ramen and stared at the raven who was blushing slightly. "Where did you get this, Sasuke?"

"I brought it with me...just in case..."

Naruto blushed, smiling warmly. "Hm, arigato, Sasuke!"

"Hn..."

Then, he started eating the ramen happily. Sometimes, he glanced at the older chuunin and blushed when he saw that Sasuke was staring at him. Indeed, he never felt as happy as he was on that time. 'Guess Sasuke does care about me... If only this moment will last forever, then I'll be the happiest person in the world...' he blushed again.

After eating, they began to walk again. It was only five hours later that they stopped again to rest for the night.

"Sasuke, did you bring only one tent?"

"Yeah, why?"

Naruto flustered once more. "Teme! Why didn't you bring two?!"

"Dobe!" the raven frowned. "It's not like we can't share in a tent!"

"No, we can't! Not with someone perverted like you!"

"Hn, whatever... I'm setting up this tent... Help me, will ya?"

"No!"

To be continued...

Hahaha, that ending was funny! They're going to share a tent! But still, no upcoming lemon! I want Naru-chan to be a virgin! Well, at least until...sometime... Hahaha!

Gaara: When would that be, Koneko-chan?

Koneko: Not sure...probably until they get married or the fastest, when they got back from this mission!

Gaara: What?! That'll be such a long wait!

Koneko: Nah, not really... I'm not making this mission for a real month! Just a few days!

Gaara: Oh...well, that's good!

Hah, such a nuisance! Anyway, please review! Ja ne, woot!
