"Sakura-chan, how could you eve ask that? Of course I do. But he doesn't.
Doesn't love me, doesn't remember. I'm not about to walk up to him and
say "Hi! I'm Naruto. You loved me 50 years ago even though I'm a demon
and most of the village hated us for it, want to come back to my place?"
In his shock from the previous statement he had just overheard, Sasuke lost his grip on the tree and feel on top of Naruto. This time with another shock of déjà vu, but very likely this time because the same thing had just happened moments prior.
"Sasuke! What were you doing in that tree?" Naruto shouted, but in the anger, you could also hear a hint of embarrassment, and even fear.
"Ano.practicing my chakra control." Sasuke answered as calmly as possible considering the current situation. Although at this, they heard a small giggle from Sakura as she added:
"Now why does this seem extremely familiar to me?"
"SAKURA!" Naruto fumed.
"Well, I guess I should take that as my hint to be on my way!" Sakura began as she turned.
"I'm going to kill you later!"
"Perhaps. But you'd have to get out from under Sasuke first and from what I remember that doesn't happen often." She finished walked away, at what seemed like a slightly faster pace then normal.
As Sasuke began to stumble to his feet, he asked:
"And what the hell does she mean by that?"
"Nothing, nothing at all." Naruto stated suspiciously.
"And there's this thing I need to do, an interesting thing, somewhere away, far away from yo- err here. Gotta go!"
"Not this time!" Sasuke yelled, grabbing onto Naruto and preventing him from further escaping.
"You have a little explaining to do first!"
Naruto was panicking. It's not something he tried to do very often but given the situations he'd been in, today he felt he'd been doing very well. 'Kami, what do I say?' Was the first rational thought through Naruto's mind?
"Ahh! Sasuke watch out! Duck!" Naruto yelled.
And as Sasuke ducked, he let go of Naruto who took advantage of this fact and well, ducked away. Realizing what had happened, Sasuke stood up again.
"Kuso! I can't believe that baka just tricked me!" He said before once again leaping off after Naruto.

Later that night
Sasuke had finally caught up with Naruto, the aforementioned baka was sitting in front of a house, when suddenly the door opened and out walked Kakashi with Iruka following hand in hand. Kakashi looked around for a minute to see if anyone was looking, seeing Naruto, he proceeded to give Iruka a kiss good-bye. It wasn't until after doing so that Iruka noticed Sasuke farther back and pointed him out to Kakashi. Kakashi showed no surprise but and shouted;
"Mou.frosting! Cake." Before walking of
Sasuke felt a tinge of surprise but waved it off thinking: 'After all. It is Kakashi. No, nothing is surprising with Kakashi around.'
Suddenly Iruka ended that train of thought. "So, what are you boys doing here?"
"I was coming to see you, but I don't know why Sasuke's here." Naruto stated calmly for once that day.
"I was chasing after Naruto, I have an important question that I believe without a doubt he can answer." Sasuke commented.
"Naruto, I need a word with you, about that thing." Iruka suddenly spoke.
"What thing?" Naruto asked seemingly oblivious to what Iruka actually meant.
"That thing about CAKE and FROSTING."
"OH! That thing, good idea! Great idea actually Iruka-sensei. Let's get to that conversation, in the house.ALONE! Very private conversation that is."
"About.cake?"
"Yes family secret." Iruka answered quickly.
"But you're not family." Retorted a confused Sasuke.
"Small villages like this, we're bound to be related somehow." Naruto yelled dragging Iruka into the house.
"What was that all about?" Sasuke asked Kakashi who had actually stayed to watch the events take fold.
"You heard them, family recipe."
"BUT THEY AREN'T FAMILY!"
"Could be, Iruka practically raised Naruto, they're like father and son."
"Naruto doesn't have a father?"
"Yes he does, I just told you, Iruka and him are like family."
"But they really aren't."
"No, but Iruka's practically Naruto's father."
"So Naruto has no family?"
"Didn't we just go through this? You see."

Back with Iruka and Naruto
"What did Sasuke want to ask you about?" Iruka asked Naruto.
"I don't know. You know those secretive types don't tell you anything until they have to. So then you can't not answer."
"NARUTO!" Iruka yelled he knew Naruto was trying to avoid the subject.
"Alright! Alright. He overheard Sakura and I talking earlier, and I've been avoiding him ever since."
"What were you talking about?"
"Nothing to big.just the fact that I love him and completely remember my past life.him really. Yeah, that was about it."
"Sakura remembers everything now?"
"Yeah just about. She like using it to her advantage too..."
"Does Sasuke remember?"
"Oh well yeah-"
"That's great!"
"Not a thing."
"So what were you doing talking about everything in front of him?" Iruka asked.
"We weren't, he was spying and fell on me from out of a tree."
Iruka was about to commented when they were interrupted by an outraged voice coming from the open window.
"I was NOT spying! And you fell on me first!"
"SASUKE!" Yelled both Iruka and Naruto simultaneously. They might not be related but they sure act enough alike.
"Are you spying?" "AGAIN!" Naruto added after a second.
"Nope, just passing by and happened to overhear your conversation."
"And how long have you been "passing by?"
"Only since Kakashi left. So this is that 'Secret family recipe' for cake?"
"We were getting there." Naruto offered in to defend them a little.
"Well since I'm here would you both mind filling me in on some things? Like that kiss?" Sasuke asked softly.
"Frosting." Was all Iruka could manage.
"What else do you want to know?" Naruto asked; half considering to tell Sasuke the answers to the questions he knew he was provoking. Watching as Sasuke stopped talking through the window and came in the house. Maybe Iruka knew what Naruto was thinking, or perhaps by now he'd learned better, but he walked out of the room.
"You love me, or well, you did?" He asked
"Yes I do.I DID." Naruto answered softly and hesitantly.
"But you don't know me."
"I know you better then you think."
"What do you mean?"
"Well... um." Naruto stumbled, looking around for Iruka, but finally noticing his old sensei had left the room, continued anyway.
"I knew you in our past lives. do you remember anything? Anything at all?"
"Past lives? You know who we were? And I'm not sure. I keep getting bits and fragments of feelings and days but it's as if I was watching a story happen through someone else's eyes. But it's things, with people I never knew, and never did." Sasuke replied cautiously.
"I think maybe some of your memories are coming back. and yeah, I do know who we were. I remember everything from my past life.wait a minute, what feelings?"
"Who were we?"
"Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke. But what feelings and for WHO?"
"It's nothing. So we died and now we're.us again?"
"Sort of. But WHAT feelings and for WHO?" Naruto demanded this time. He wasn't going to back down and Sasuke knew it just by the look in his eyes.
"Well when you fell on me earlier, I kind of wanted to kiss you. and I feel some odd underlying need to protect you. But there's small other stuff."
"Other stuff? For who?" Naruto asked, his eyes downcast. But by now, Sasuke was getting a little nervous as well.
"You. Oh! Naruto! Watch out, DUCK!" And with that, Sasuke ran back out of Iruka's house. And all Naruto was left to think was;
"He stole my exit!"
In his shock from the previous statement he had just overheard, Sasuke lost his grip on the tree and feel on top of Naruto. This time with another shock of déjà vu, but very likely this time because the same thing had just happened moments prior.
"Sasuke! What were you doing in that tree?" Naruto shouted, but in the anger, you could also hear a hint of embarrassment, and even fear.
