Aishiteru, Naruto
Chapter Six
Mary, Mary
Naruto and Sasuke waited at the training grounds for nearly twenty minutes before Kakashi turned up. And even then, Kakashi's news surprised them.
Sakura's sick. So you two can go try to kill each other and I'll go practice on my own. I've been getting a little rusty.
He said all this without looking up from Make Out Paradise'. Without waiting for an answer, Kakashi turned and left. Naruto stared, slightly dumbfounded.
said Naruto, fine, then. I'll just have to pound your ass. He gave Sasuke one of his squinty eyed grins.
As if you could.
Kakashi sniggered to himself as he walked off. If they didn't fall in love now... well, he'd kiss a dolphin. Which he did any ways... (AN: yeah... i know, cheap joke.)
Both boys stood in a ready defensive position, neither daring to move. What should I do...' pondered Naruto, I could use Art Of The Doppleganger, hold him down and- kiss im!' interjected part of Naruto's mind. Kiss him?! What? No! Aww, but doesn't he look totally kissable? C'mon, you know you want to.' Naruto was so wrapped up in arguing with himself that he nearly missed Sasuke begin the forms for Breath Of The Fireball'.
Just as Sasuke blew a fireball at Naruto, Naruto leapt upwards into the trees and threw a shuriken down at Sasuke. Sasuke flipped forward, grabbing the shuriken as he did so, and threw it back at Naruto. Naruto barely dodged it, but still got his arm scraped. He winced against the slight pain. Shit. It seemed that he would have t go with that... plan. Except without the kissing, maybe punching instead. Naruto tapped his fingers together. Art Of The Doppleganger!
Sasuke sighed. Did Naruto always use this one technique? The Naruto doubles began to swarm towards Sasuke, dodging the fire balls that he sent their way. To his surprise, one of the doubles jumped on his back, as if he were getting a piggy back ride. Momentarily off balance, the doubles jumped Sasuke, pushing him to the ground. This was new... Naruto actually had the upper hand.
Naruto reached down the back of his shirt and pulled out a kusari-gama, a sickle tethered to a long chain. Naruto gave his refractory grin. He would show Sasuke that he was a good fighter. Sasuke would have to pay attention to him, Sasuke would have to love him because he was so good, not bad like the adults said. Naruto swung the chain sending the sickle towards Sasuke. Sasuke hardly had any time to make a shield with his Chakra.
Naruto frowned. Damn, Sasuke had used a shield and now he had lost the element of surprise.
Where had Naruto learned to use a kusari-gama? They rarely used them in school and Naruto appeared to be quite skilled with it.
Sasuke grimaced and swung his arms forward, slamming the doubles that were hanging onto them into the hard ground. The doubles vanished. Sasuke lashed his legs out, sending more doubles into the air. He used their bodies as a sort of ladder, bouncing from one to another to get to Naruto. Sasuke jumped up one last time, throwing himself towards Naruto. Sasuke smashed into Naruto, pushing him towards the ground.
Naruto gasped, the air forced out of his lungs. Sasuke reached Naruto's side and grabbed the middle of Naruto's side. Naruto squealed. That hurt. This sucked, he couldn't swing his sickle in such close quarters, but he could... after a moments thought, Naruto grabbed the chain and wrapped it around Sasuke's ankle yanking upwards, causing Sasuke to flip over, Naruto then kicked him in the back. Sasuke landed in the dirt, plowing up furrows of leaves around him.
What the hell?! Naruto had almost beat him! Either he had gotten weaker or Naruto had gotten really, really good. Naruto was pleased to see the obvious degree of shock in Sasuke's face. Naruto threw two shuriken at him for good measure. The shuriken went wide and hit the ground. Naruto flushed in annoyance. To do something that stupid in his moment of victory... Sasuke smirked. Naruto was still as incompetent as ever.
Sasuke rushed forward and swung his leg, catching Naruto in the neck. Sasuke swung the other leg into the back of Naruto's head, yanking him down to the ground. Naruto made a choking noise. He brought the kusari-gama up and scratched Sasuke's leg. Sasuke leapt backwards.
That's for scratching my arm earlier, said Naruto.
was all that Sasuke said.
Naruto knew that if he kept Sasuke in close quarters he might be able to beat him, because Sasuke appeared to be more proficient in long range attacks. Naruto looped his chain around Sasuke's wrist t keep him tethered and swung a fist towards him. Sasuke ducked and swept his foot at Naruto's legs. Naruto jumped up- here was Sasuke's chance. Sasuke dodged between Naruto's legs, his hand still tethered to Naruto's. Naruto yelped as a heavy weight descended on him. Oh, shit...' he thought.
Sasuke was sitting on his back, legs on either side of his head. Naruto was smashed beneath him, one arm pulled between his hunched up legs and around to his back. (AN: like Ranma and Ryoga in Ranma 1/2 vol. 1) Sasuke smirked. He rather liked this uke Naruto. Naruto growled and bit Sasuke's leg.
Sasuke smacked Naruto in the side of the head with his knee, effectively knocking him out.
Sasuke un-looped the chain from his wrist and rolled Naruto over onto his back. he looked surprisingly peaceful when he was asleep. His eyes gently shut, his brows unfurrowed and his mouth drooping open just the tiniest bit. Naruto suddenly snorted, destroying the image. He gave a muffled moan and rolled over.
Sasuke frowned, recalling what Naruto had been like last night. How could a boy seem so happy but really be so sad on the inside? Sasuke was almost always depressed but he managed by being cold and detached, which was easy and suited him very well. But Naruto... he was always so happy and so loud. How could he stand being rejected time and time again? Sasuke's thoughts were once more interrupted when Naruto mumbled in his sleep.
Mmm... ramen.
Sasuke stared. Pig boy. How could he eat so much and still say thin? Sasuke guessed that it was all his hyperactivity. Sasuke leaned over and poked Naruto in the eye.
Ahh! Goddamn! shouted Naruto.
said Sasuke flatly, let's get ramen. My treat.
Woo! Sure!
