I don't own Naruto in any way, shape, or form. Just a fan of the series.

PLEASE READ IMPORTANT!: I need to clarify this point about the story since someone misunderstood my words in the last chapter. This story isn't discontinued. I like this story so much abandoning it would make me feel very sad. I know it takes me forever to update, but I will finish this story no matter how long it takes me. I apologize but I really can't control why my swim coach has given me a swim meet every week for the past 3 months. *shrug* Luckily for me, swim season is over now. :D Anyway, enjoy, read and review always!

Thanks to all the people who reviewed the last chapter and the chapters before it. For your faith!

"There!" Ten-ten flopped down on the nearest couch and sighed. "Oh gosh you do look lovely, if I do say so myself."

Hanabi twirled around once, her flowy gown rippling around her like a waterfall. "You really think so?"

"Whoever guy this is, you are sure to sweep him off his feet. Wait. You never told me. Who is this guy you're going to see? Is it a secret?" The weapons master waggled her eyebrows playfully, a mischievous glint in her chocolate orbs.

The young Hyuuga rolled her eyes at her companion's silliness. "That's the problem. See, I don't know who I am going on a date with. Tsunade just set up a blind date for me. I honestly wonder who it is…" The first thing that came to Hanabi's mind was an extremely buff man in a perfect shade of tan. He was flexing his clearly weightlifter clad muscles, flashing a smile that could blind anyone. The only article of clothing he wore was a small navy blue speedo.

Ten-ten, clearly seeing the uncharacteristic blush on the Hyuuga's face chuckled. "Whatcha imagining there lover girl?"

Hanabi choked on her own siliva, staggering back. Her blush was growing a deeper red color by the second. "Shut up!"

"Hehe." The weapon's master punched her arm playfully. "You know I'm just joking. Alright, time for make-up."

"Oh dear."

I'm not your boyfriend baby,

I ain't your cute little sex toy,

I'm not your lion or your tiger,

Won't be your nasty little boy,

Sasuke bobbed his head to the music from his IPod. One thing that always helped pump up his workout was that little device, no matter what music he was listening to. He ran through an open field lined with the tallest of pine trees; he'd been doing this for an hour now and was still not fatigued.

I'm not your boyfriend baby,

I can't grant your every wish,

I'm not your knight in shining armor,

So I just leave you with this kiss,

He continued to jam out with his legs thumping on the soft ground swiftly, until a tuft of bright hair came to his attention. 'There is only one person on the premise that could be,' Sasuke thought. RIght as rain it was Naruto, with his trademark jumpsuit on, taking what seemed to be a lackadaisical walk. However, it wasn't the one he used to wear as a kid; this one was a lot more elegant looking. Of course there was still the red pool symbol on the arm, but the suit's design had gone through some major refining. The new suit was completely black except for an orange tailed beast seal and stripes of the same color that ran down the sides of the pants and armsleeves.

You can catch my on the speedway,

Beeper in a three way,

Shinin' with the gleam chain,

And your honey given me brain,

Once Naruto noticed his onlooker, he immediately called his name. "Hey Kisho!" Sasuke just waved in response, coming to a stop in front of his old friend. "So what's up?"

The sharingan ninja simply rolled his eyes. "What does it look like I was doing d-" The Raven had to stop himself before he blew his cover by saying dobe, "idiot. I was doing my daily run. How about you? You seem to be preoccupied as well."

The knucklehead ran a hand through his growing hair. "Not really, unless you call being lost in thought preoccupied. I'm totally free today actually." Naruto paused for a moment, as if pondering something. "Hey," he added, "Do you want to come to lunch with me? Hinata is helping Ten-ten get her sister ready for some mysterious event."

"Yeah, sure. I was just finishing up my jog anyway." Sasuke pulled the earbuds out of his ears, walking off with the blond. "Do you mind if I get changed first though? My room is right near the cafeteria."

"Whatever floats your boat man. It doesn't matter to me. I'll just chill in your room while you change."

The Raven visibly stiffened when he said that so offhandishly, being a shinobi and all, privacy was the rule of thumb. This caused Naruto to say, "Don't worry geez! I'm not going to creep all over your room to check you out or anything alright. Its not like I suspect you or something. You can trust me indubitably!"

Thirty minutes later they had made it full circle back to the compound, sweaty and starving. Once they arrived in Sasuke's room, Naruto immediately plopped down on the couch.

The Raven looked back to his friend after picking up a change of clothes for himself. The other had obviously made himself comfortable. "Hey Naruto?"

The blond looked up, hands behind his head, "Hmm?"

"I'll be out in about ten okay?"

"Okay girly~" The knucklehead closed his eyes, oblivious to his partner's murderous glare piercing through his skin.

'Pssst. Pssst. Naruto buddy, you out there?'

'Oh hey Aveser!' the blond thought at his tailed friend, 'And no, I'm not asleep if that was what you were asking.'

'Good. Cause I have something' real important to tell yer right now so listen up.'

The knucklehead clasped his hands in a praying matter and bowed while sitting, at the empty room. If someone had walked in there not knowing better, they would've thought he was screwy with the sickening smile plastered on his face. 'I look up to you for wisdom.'

'Okay, if that's the way ya wanna put it. Anywho, back to da point. I've been noticing it for a while now, so I thought I'd tell yer.'

The blond rudely interrupted his friend, 'What?! Is someone dead, can you like… feel that kind of stuff?'

'No you airhead! Let me tell ya already!' Aveser looked around his internal cage as if someone was eavesdropping. The only sound heard however was the sound of the still running shower. 'Your buddy Kisho might not be who he says he is.'

'What do you mean? I don't think he'd mean any harm whatsoever!'

'Dat's not what I meant,' Aveser sighed. 'All I'm sayin' is that his clothes smell different than his ora.'

Naruto scrunched up his nose in confusion, the tailed beast rolled his eyes. 'I still don't get it.'

'Ughh! Alright, you only take things literally,' Aveser facepalmed with his tail. 'Dis is how it goes Naru-buddy, plain 'n' simple. Kisho is your old pal Sasuke Uchiha, but in disguise.'

'What the hell?!'

1) During the chapter I was listening to My Immortal by Evanescence (depressing song right?), What Hurts the Most by Cascada and Notorious by Duran Duran. For your information, the song in the second passage was I'm Not Your Boyfriend Baby by 3OH!3.

2) XD By they way, girly is what I call all my girl friends at swim team. They all have a girly title. Did it influence this piece?

3) I have a question for yawl. What is your favorite song and why? Until next time… Nonumaru signing out!
