LATE-BLOOMING LOVE CHP.6
About an hour and a half and 12 tired feet later, Naruto and his friends arrived downtown. Kakashi, panting, pointed to a tall gray building about half a mile away. "That's the...bank." he said. Everyone was tired after walking 39 and a half miles, so they nodded to save breath. They were dusty, dehydrated, and just plain..tired! They trudged along silently, and in a moment the faint sound of distressed barking entered their ears. Sasuke rolled his eyes and looked at Naruto. He looked as if he were about to fall asleep and collapse. He wished he could just take him in his arms and..WHAT WAS HIS PROBLEM?? SINCE WHEN WAS HE GAY??
Sakura looked at Naruto, then Sasuke, who was staring at Naruto with a strange longing...hey, what was Sasuke thinking?? He couldn't do that, that wasn't right. Besides, she loved the two boys. If they got together she'd go crazy. But to comfort herself, she thought, "Well, at least Naruto's still straight, so it won't happen..."
[A/N: Oh really Sakura?? *Naruto glares*]
Soon they arrived at the bank. Kakashi said, "We go in...climb to top floor....jump to the ceiling...grab the dog, K?"
The kids looked at him for a moment as if he were crazy, but they just nodded. The walked in the door of the bank, found the staircase, and began climbing. Each step took a stab at the childrens' feet. They were so...tired...
Naruto couldn't handle it anymore...but he must...go on...to prove himself..to Sakura....
He collapsed with a dull thud. Kakashi just kept going as Sakura and Sasuke whirled around. "Sasuke...stay back and watch him...let's go Sakura." Sasuke just kinda stood there dumbly for a minute until Sakura and Kakashi had vanished out of sight.
"Must...control...urges.." thought Sasuke.
[A/N: Short chappie, I know I know, ok?? Just wanted to leave it at a bit of a cliffhanger..]
