NEW Author's Notes: Huzzah, this chapter looks long. –falls on face- wonder how long it'll take me to edit this one :D
OLD Authors Notes:
NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! And yet another chappie is out! -much rejoicing- nya nyaa
Disclaimer: Naruto nono for Toko-chan T-T sigh she doesn't own it...if she did...SASUNARU FOR ALL! XD
Hmm...toko-chan has finals next week...so she won't be posting till summer time...expect no new chapters until 1-2 weeks from now...sorry sorry...and this last chappie was late because toko-chan was studying for finals...O.o;;
PS: These are the for "flamers" :
General message – Although one can understand that you do not appreciate yaoi/shonen ai, one finds you extremely stupid and unable to read directions. One had stated in the summary that it WILL BE sasunaru and shonen ai. And yet you still come and read. So it's you own fault for being exposed to this sort of thing.
Ticked of NARU/SAKU fan: Hey, actually, one sorta likes narusaku fics oneself... but eh...narusasu just happens to be so cute...-sighs- couldn't resist XP but nyaaaaa remember, read the summary! ITS NARUSASU IN THIS FIC! -narusakufan explodes- eh...woops...ah well...-shrugs-
Monkfish: ok one knows you're not a flamer, but you "are" supporting one...so well, the flamer isn't being rude at all! But, well...he seems a bit stupid for not reading the "NARUSASU SHONENAI" thing in one's summary, desho? PS: Nono one isn't mad at monkfish at all! Monkfish is very nice :D
GUTB: wow...now you are the epitome of all stupidness... . ;; one has NO idea how the hell you ever became mr. "im great at literature". Fanfics are fictional stories used with the characters/plots/storyline of the original. Got that? Now stop defending yourself in one's reviewing page damn you. It's getting annoying. PS: -blinks a few times- hmm...is one embarassed. WHY YES I AM IM SO SORRY -begs for forgiveness before snickering one's head off- HAHAHHAHAHA IF ONE WAS EMBARASSED YOU THINK ONE WOULD POST THIS FIC? HAHHAHAHAHahahhahaa -laughs hysterically like the insane person one is-
PS: TOKO-CHANS REVIEW PAGE IS FOR REVIEWS, DO NOT "REVIEW" WITH POINTLESS CHATS OR ARGUMENTS! (only exception being monkfish because he/she apologized first -gives monkfish a cookie for being so polite-)
PSS: Anyone who wants to flame these flamers (no don't flame poor monkfish), is welcome to. (but please include some reviews about the story while you're at it )
To the "ill give some pointers people":
Toko-chan isn't mad at you guys or anything, but she just wants to make a few comments.
First of all, the ellipses, yes, toko-chan knows she has a habit in making these uber long "..." but bah they are addicting and toko-chan can't change that fact. It doesn't seem right without 'em, therefore toko-chan is just going to leave it there. Sorry if you do not approve. (But no reviews about that anymore ok? Extra reviews on ellipses will be regarded as a flame and punished). REVISION: YESH! I AM TRYING HARD TO TAKE THEM OUT! HAR HAR HAR...
NKfloofiepoof: first of all, the third person thing is not done on purpose. It happens to be the way one thinks, and if it seems "different" to you, then, well, sorry it can't be helped and won't be changed. Think of it as you would like. (Many seem to think so already). The notes are just for humor in the story, and one will not change that either. It is written to help the author at times and it is just there. To be honest, this fic was meant only for the author, as long as the author believes the story is ok, she will post. One likes to read the fic this way, so the remarks will stay in. As for the "childish" remark: well, once again, it was meant to be a "cute" story and not some uber cool graceful kind of crap. (sorry one referred to it as crap, but eh...one just happens to like her story cute and kiddy ) PS: Don't worry, one knows you're not flaming! Thanks for trying to help improve the story!
To the "confused":
Sato no Kakashi: Well, first thing that set off the fangirls was the kiss. Second was when Sasuke saved Naruto and didn't know why. Third was when Sasuke and Naruto bicker about everything but deep down they are friends. Fourth...well, the list goes on and on. It's just...there. Sorry if that wasn't any help.
Valentine Special
The Earth seemed to stop spinning, the wind seemed to stop blowing; Leaves stopped rustling and birds stopped chirping. Even the sun seemed to cease shining, as a large, dark cloud embraced the world, wrapping it in darkness...or so was the mood of the Konoha students.
Kakashi looked up and sighed. Iruka was ignoring him, Haku was giving him looks of pity, and Tazuna seemed mad for him acting so rashly. Besides, Naruto and Sasuke were nowhere to be found.
>Maybe I really shouldn't have told everyone so suddenly...but then, I really wanted them to know the truth.>
Kakashi stared off into the horizon and sighed.
>Naruto... Sasuke...Come back soon.>
Somewhere deep into the forest, a young boy sat on a self-made swing, the ropes made of vines and the seat made of a piece of wood.
He sat there, eyes devoid of emotion, his energy gone. He gripped the ropes of the string like they were his only hope to reality...but then, did he even want to stay in reality? Or perhaps he should just drift away and dream...
>Yes, to dream forever...that would be nice.> Naruto mused.
>I can dream that I have a family, that I am loved and respected...That I am like everyone else.>
Sasuke walked along a path in the forest, not caring where he was even going.
>Why did I even want to get to know that idiot better? He's just Naruto—there's nothing special about him—What is going on?>
He shook his head, "AH! SO CONFUSING!" He yelled and punched a tree.
The branches shook and leaves fell, the gentle green pieces of the plant slowing twirling around Sasuke, in an intricate dance.
>Why did I get those memories? Were they really of the past Uchiha Sasuke? Were they even real? Or perhaps simple hallucinations?>
"Ugh, I don't get any of this!" Sasuke muttered, very frustrated.
He sat down on a log, deciding to think it over...which would prove to be a bad decision, for he should've kept walking...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Naruto POV-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I dipped my feet into the river, the water calm and soothing—or as soothing as it could be, for my mind was dark, hazy, and in chaos.
I knew that if I ever returned to the group, I would be more hated than before—Could I stand that?
If I was in my right mind, I'd laugh and say I could. I'd sneer in everyone's faces and say I could do whatever I want. I would say that I was strong...but right now, I'm obviously not.
Staring into the swirling depths of the water, I became entranced; I wanted to go further, to see what mysteries lie inside the river.
Perhaps that was the place where I could dream; a cool water bed where I could lay there forever, not having a care in the world—Just me and my dreams...
I took another step into the river—it seemed to suck me in, pulling me inside, beckoning me to go further; its gentle voice beckoned to me to get closer...
I silently laughed at myself as I took another step into the water.
>What are you doing?>
>Why, haven't you eyes? I'm killing myself> I thoughtsnidely. How amusing, the great Uzumaki Naruto, killing himself over such a trivial matter.
>No, I am not killing myself, I am merely entering the city of forever bliss.>
I closed my eyes and took a few more steps into the water, the water slowly embracing me, pulling me into its warm hold.
>I can finally dream at last.>
----------------------------------------------------------------
-Sasuke POV- (SASUKE TO THE RESCUE! -dun dun dun-)
--------------------------------------------------------------
I suddenly jerked my head u;, something was not right.
Ice seemed to flow into my stomach, chilling me from the insides. My heart started beating wildly, warning me, something was going to happen, and I was supposed to stop it.
I took a look at my surroundings, and no one was around...but was that what was bothering me? Perhaps someone is missing?
>Naruto!> My mind immediately screamed, and I jolted up.
My legs seemed to drag me after it, automatically moving on its own.
Something was wrong, dreadfully wrong.
Somehow my feet had started into a run, and I felt my heart beating even faster than before, if it was even possible. Drops of anxiety appeared on my face, the adrenaline of worry etched across my face, rushing through my body.
>Where am I going? Why am I reacting this way?> I thought wildly as I jumped over several logs.
>What is going on?>
My feet stopped once I reached a river, my body once again in my control.
Why did my feet take me here? I wondered a bit before something bright caught my eye.
Something blonde was sticking out of the water—no, it disappeared now.
>Blonde... NARUTO! I thought desperately, THAT IDIOT!>
I jumped in, desperate to save the young boy.
The water bit and clawed at me, using its ferocious waves and cold temperatures to sting me, yet I swam on, not caring for myself.
There was only one thing on my mind:
>Naruto, you better not die.> I gritted as I fought the river, fighting to get to the unconscious, perhaps dead, kyuubi in the middle of the river.
Finally arriving to my destination, I grabbed the boy and started to swim back.
The boy was dead weight! He didn't seem to want to move; a tangle of limbs plastered with a peaceful smile on its face.
Perhaps I should've just left him there—he seemed so happy—but no, being the selfish person I was, I wouldn't let him die before me.
"You're coming with me whether you like it or not, Naruto" I huffed as I thrashed back to shore.
Lifting him up the river bank, I tossed him into the grass.
He was pale and his lips were turning blue. He looked dead already.
>And he will definitely be if you don't do something fast.> My voice nagged inside my head.
I proceeded to give him CPR, giving him my second kiss, and third, and so on as I repeatedly forced air into him. (CPR doesn't really count as a kiss but BLAH! The author said it did so there! XP)
>Naruto, if you die...I swear, I'm going to kill you, be it your ghost or whatever.> I thought angrily, once again touching my lips to his, breathing life into him.
Finally after what seemed like forever, Naruto coughed and spit out water. He coughed and spit out more again, and again.
I clapped him on the back to make him spit all the water out, and I attempted to warm him in the process.
>Damn, this boy is freezing!> I thought absently as I rubbed his hands, hoping to cause some warmth.
After he finished coughing up the obscene amount of water, he gave me an angry glance, a look that seemed to challenge why I saved him, and he fell unconscious again.
After thinking about whether I should leave him there or not, I decided against it.
He was drenched and freezing enough already; He needs help.
So I lugged the boy onto my back, and carried him back to Kakashi.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Kakashi's POV-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was joyfully reading my beloved Icha Icha Paradise yet again, when I was suddenly distracted by two figures coming into the horizon. Of the two figures, one was unconscious and on the other's back.
My mind froze.
>Naruto! What was wrong with him?>
I immediately stood up and helped Sasuke get the boy into bed.
As Sasuke changed into drier clothes, Tsunade was there immediately, watching over the boy's condition.
Sasuke was back in a flash, changing in a hurry and watching in concern over his little Naruto. Shortly after confirming the boy's condition, Tsunade left. Now it was only me and Sasuke, Sasuke kept a close eye on Naruto, never leaving his eyes from him.
Even if he can't remember his past, he's still worried. I thought with a bit of amusement.
Around 2 hours later, Naruto slowly opened his eyes.
I expected the boy to be up and jumping, yelling at how he could've saved himself out of the river himself, but instead I was surprised.
The boy glanced at Sasuke, his face too tired to show emotion, but his voice dripping with venom.
"Why—Why did you save me?" The cold lips formed.
I stared at him in surprise, although Sasuke seemed to be expecting it.
"Why didn't you let me die..." The lips continued to speak.
I looked at Sasuke, contemplating what he would say next.
"...If you had died, there would be no reason for me to stay now, would there?" He replied.
I looked at him in surprise. This was almost like what the old Sasuke would say when he and Naruto were together...
"If you had died... who would be there to spar with me? Stupid as you may be...you are the only one I consider worthy enough to fight me." He continued.
Naruto glanced at him, cold hatred in his eyes.
"Selfish..." He whispered, falling back to the depths of unconsciousness, raggedly breathing as his chest painfully rose up and down.
Sasuke continued looking at Naruto, his calm face for once tinged with the tiniest trace of worry, and he said silently,
"Selfish? Perhaps..."
That was when I decided to let the two spend their time alone—it was best for them, I suppose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Naruto POV-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I opened my eyes, I glanced at my savior—no, he was no savior—he was my murderer. Living in this world was just like being dead—no one acknowledged me anyway; no one accepting you is just as good as if you were dead, or if you had never existed.
"Why didn't you just let me die..." I painfully asked; my breath ragged.
His answer only enraged me even further. He "rescued" me for his own purposes!
Did my happiness not matter? Was I only useful for the happiness of others? Why can't I be happy too?
"Selfish..." I whispered, wanting to say more, but I was tired, so tired...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A yellow-haired shinobi, around 14 years of age stared into the swirling waters of the river, his thoughts entranced about it.
"Oi, Naruto, what are you doing?" A voice interrupted.
The blonde turned around.
"Eh? Nothing; just thinking...Now go away." The shinobi snapped, wishing the older shinobi wouldn't insult him for once—he wasn't in the mood.
But to his dismay, the black-haired ninja sat down next to Naruto and looked out into the waters with him.
"Thinking? About what?" The ninja asked, his eyes not staring at Naruto, making him fidget.
"Ano...Eto...Why should I tell you? What are YOU thinking about?" The yellow haired ninja countered.
"...Nothing in particular; just of whatever I see." Came the reply.
"Eh? I don't get it." Naruto said, his eyes squinting up into a pondering line.
Sasuke smiled softly.
"Naruto, do you—no, is there...anyone you're interested in?" He asked, his voice eerily quiet and subdued.
"Ah? Interested in? OOOO You mean as in a crush?" Naruto said, delighted Sasuke had spoken about a topic he knew about.
"...Somewhat like that." Sasuke muttered.
"Ah? Well, there's always Sakura-chan, but she always seems so annoyed near me...And there's...eto...ah...Anyway, what about you Sasuke? Don't you have anyone you like?" Naruto asked, a bit embarrassed.
I almost told him who I was really interested in... He thought angrily to himself.
"You like Sakura eh? Well, there was someone I was interested in, but now...Iie, never mind." Sasuke stated gruffly as he began to rise from his spot.
Naruto grabbed his hand and pulled him back down.
"Woah! Wait a sec! What do you mean there was? I told you who I liked, now you tell me who you like!" He ordered.
Sasuke was silent for a moment, thinking of what to say.
"Demo Naruto, you like Sakura?" Sasuke asked again.
"Eh? Well, I guess so, but I'm not so sure anymore. After all, I've accepted the fact that she's more like a great teammate and nothing more... maybe because someone else took my mind off her—GAH! I mean...Sakura-chan! I like her and all, but. after all these years, she doesn't seem to like me back...yea, heh...heh..." Naruto grinned stupidly.
>Damn, I almost told him about the other thing again.>
"...Souka."
"Neh neh, Sasuke, who do YOU like? Stop being so secretive!" Naruto pushed again.
"Well, .this person doesn't seem to like me back, so it would be of no use to tell you."
"So what? It won't hurt to tell her how you feel! It's not like she'll freak or anything!"
>Why—why is my heart hurting; I knew Sasuke was straight, but why am I still hurting? >
"...Actually, .this person will most likely "freak" as you would call it."
"EEEh? No way! Every girl falls for you Sasuke! You'll have no problem!" I laughed.
>Stop hurting, please, my heart...stop hurting... >
"But the person I love...isn't a girl."
Now the blonde stopped moving and froze.
"Wha--?"
That was all he could say before Sasuke moved in, capturing his mouth with his own.
"The person I like is you, Naruto...you." He said after the kiss.
Naruto looked at him strangely, his eyes wide with shock.
"I'll leave now. I'm sorry." Sasuke muttered and started to go away, but was once again pulled down by Naruto.
Naruto grabbed his arm and pulled him back into another kiss.
"What are you sorry about, baka." Naruto smirked, and the two shared kiss after kiss, enjoying their new relationship with each other.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto woke up, his eyes slowly adjusting to the bright glare of the sun.
He tried to sit up, but...
>What's that weight on my stomach?> Naruto thought irritatingly, but when he looked down, Sasuke had apparently fallen asleep while watching over Naruto, and was using Naruto's stomach as a pillow.
>That bastard...taking me back to this hell hole and now he's using me!> Naruto thought irritatingly.
>Whatever that dream was about...forget it! I'll never admit to those as visions! I'm just hallucinating!> Naruto thought angrily.
Suddenly, Sasuke stirred.
"But the person I love isn't a girl..." The dark haired student murmured.
Naruto froze.
"The person I like is you, Naruto...you." The shinobi student murmured again.
>Weren't those what Sasuke said in my dream?> Naruto thought, his blood chilling inside him, freezing his veins; his heart.
>NO! There's no way that was a vision! It's wrong! It's all wrong!> Naruto shook his head, waking up Sasuke.
Sasuke looked up at Naruto, still looking a bit sleepy.
"Naruto...you're awake." He said simply.
Sasuke looked at the blond haired boy, wondering what his reaction would be.
>Would he be cold to me? Will he ignore me?> Sasuke thought, he himself a bit concerned.
Naruto and Sasuke stared at each other a few minutes before suddenly...
"OF COURSE I AWOKE! I COULDN'T DIE THAT EASILY, MORON!" Naruto screamed, a bright grin pasted onto his face.
"HAHA! YOU STAYED UP ALL NIGHT WATCHING OVER ME? AWWWWW...ACTING BRAVE NOW EH?" Naruto continued to mock.
Sasuke was a bit shocked by Naruto's behavior.
>He was cursing me just last night...and now...> Sasuke couldn't understand Naruto at the moment.
"...I was worried."
Naruto stopped grinning and looked confused.
"Eh? Wha?"
"I WAS WORRIED." Sasuke said again, loudly.
"Keh! Why would you be worried? With me gone, you get all your fangirls to yourself!"
Sasuke grabbed Naruto by the wrists, leaning over as he shouted
"Can't you see I was worried! WORRIED! SHINPAI YO! HONTO NI SHINPAI YO!"
Naruto glared at Sasuke, his eyes narrowing into slits.
"And why would you be worried? You should just be glad I was gone!"
"Grr! Maybe I should have just LEFT you there, dobe!"
"DOBE JA NAI WA YO! AND YEA! IT WOULD'VE BEEN A GOOD IDEA JUST TO LEAVE ME THERE, YOU TOTAL MORON!" Naruto shouted back.
Suddenly, the two students heard a startled cry.
It was Hinata with two bowls of steaming soup.
"Ah! Ano...Sorry for disturbing your argument! He-Here's your soup, Sasuke-kun, Naruto-kun..." Hinata said shyly before shoving the tray into Sasuke's hands and running off.
Sasuke sat back down and sighed angrily.
>This boy is.so frustrating!> He glared.
"Here. Take your soup." Sasuke said coldly, and he held a bowl in front of Naruto.
Naruto crossed his arms and looked away.
"I don't want it."
"Take it."
"I won't take food from a dumbass."
"...TAKE IT"
"NO!"
"..."
Sasuke was mad, no, he was BEYOND mad.
>Of all people, why do I get stuck with him?> Sasuke thought as he proceeded to force Naruto to take the bowl.
"...take the bowl."
"No."
"...Take it, now."
"Why should I?"
"..." Sasuke thrust the bowl in Naruto's face again.
"I told you! I'm not taking it!" Naruto yelled.
"Grr..." Sasuke growled; he had enough. He put the bowl on a nearby table and stormed out.
"BLEAH!" Naruto grimaced and stuck his tongue at the retreating form of Sasuke.
Now once again masked in the quiet loneliness of the room, Naruto sank back into his bed.
>Now, why was I so cruel to Sasuke just now?> He thought to himself.
He put his head behind his hands and stared up at the ceiling.
>Perhaps I don't want him near me.>
He started counting the ceiling tiles: 1, 2, 3...
>Sou da yo. He'll only cause me pain...Just like everyone else.>
4, 5, 6...7, 8, 9...
>Guess it just has to be this way...neh?>
10, 11, 12...13...14...15...
>I was meant to be alone.>
16...17...18...
>In my past life and in this one as well.>
19...19...19...
And Naruto's train of thought was broken, forcing him to recount the tiles over again.
1, 2, 3...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke stormed out of Naruto's cabin.
"That idiot...he'll never notice kindness even if it smacked him in the face!" Sasuke muttered, "hell, I'll smack him in the face..."
He crashed into someone.
He said nothing as the person fell down and hit the floor.
"Itai! HEY WATCH WHERE YOU—oooo! Sasuke-kuuuuuuun! I mean...How are you?" Sasuke replied shyly.
>Oh great...it's her.>
"...You are ok."
Sakura blushed,
Her inner Sakura screamed: >HE ASKED YOU IF YOU'RE ALL RIGHT! HE'S CONCERNED! SHYANAROOOOOO!>
Sakura said "I-I'm okay. Thank you for being so caring."
>Caring? Me? No, I wasn't ASKING her! I was stating it as a fact!>
I walked past her without another word before she grabbed my hand.
Inner Sakura: >YOU GRABBED HIS HAND! GOOD JOB! HELL YEA!>
"Eto...Sasuke-kun, can you, help me up?"
Sasuke stood for a moment, not answering, before he said
"You're strong enough to help yourself up."
However, before he got to walk away, Sakura scrambled up and asked:
"Sasuke-kun? Umm, about the past that Kakashi was talking about—it's not true is it?"
"...True or not, it's in the past—it has nothing to do with me now."
Sakura's heart soared.
>If it had nothing to do with him, then I have a chance!>
"So you don't have any affections towards Naruto whatsoever?"
Sasuke stood there, his back turned to Sakura as he stayed quiet.
Sakura took that as a good sign and continued,
"Oh! Of course you wouldn't! You're so cool, Sasuke-kun! Why would you ever like a loser like Naruto, anyway? He's so annoying all the time and—"
"He's better than you'll ever be." Sasuke suddenly snapped at her, and he quickly stalked off.
Sakura stood there, eyes wide, not daring to say anything, but inside,
Inner Sakura: >NARUTO? BETTER THAN ME? HELL NOOOOOOOooooooo>
Sasuke continued walking on,
>Now why did I just say that? That stupid Naruto—after being so stubborn, I'm STILL sticking up for him? The hell...> Sasuke thought as he absently kicked a rock.
"Oi! Sasuke!" A voice greeted.
Sasuke looked at the direction of the voice.
"...Don't bother me." He muttered, and continued walking.
"O-OI! Now don't ignore me too! Iruka's already doing that!" Kakashi said jokingly as he followed Sasuke.
"Leave me alone."
"Now now, you can't be that mad, dessho?"
"Yes I can."
Kakashi blocked Sasuke's path.
"Move." Sasuke glared at Kakashi.
"Ara ara, don't be so cruel now Sasuke. I just wanted to know how Naruto was doing."
Sasuke put a hand on his forehead.
"Don't even MENTION his name."
"Aah? Lover's quarrel?"
"URUSAI! That moron's too damn stubborn for his own good."
"Ah, so it WAS a lover's quarrel."
"IT WAS NOT!" The extremely pissed off Sasuke yelled.
Glaring at Kakashi with his coldest gaze, he asked,
"Now why did you say all that crap? Back at the memorial..."
"That's not crap. I was explaining your past."
"Past my ass! Tell me the truth!"
"That was the truth."
"There's NO way me and Naruto could've ever been...like that."
"Think again, Sasuke."
"SHUT.UP!"
"Sasuke, I know you've been having visions."
Sasuke looked at Kakashi, eyes slightly surprised.
"How did you know?"
Kakashi looked towards the direction of the breeze, his hair slightly blowing in the wind.
"The look on your face at the memorial was very amusing. Then again, so was Naruto's."
"He had visions too?"
"Aa"
"But, he told me that—THAT LIAR! IM GONNA KILL HIM!"
"Sasuke, he must've had a reason to lie to you."
The mad Sasuke looked away.
"Sasuke, you care about Naruto just like you've cared about him in the past. You obviously care about him now."
"I only care for him as a rival. Nothing else." Sasuke said coldly, and he walked away.
Kakashi put his hand on his forehead and sighed.
"Well, at least he's not ignoring me anymore—now to go find Iruka." He muttered as he set off to tame the angry Dolphin.
Sasuke walked into the training grounds, observing several other shinobi students training hard—others just stood in a little group gossiping.
>I'm so glad Iruka-sensei and the others got things under control.> Sasuke sighed mentally, >Now they won't give Naruto weird looks anymore—WAIT! Forget Naruto—good thing they're not giving me weird looks anymore...but I never did care what they thought of me...Dammit! Stupid Naruto!>
Sasuke started to go up to a kicking board, until he was interrupted:
"OI OI OI! MINNA! THE GREAT UZUMAKI NARUTO IS BACK! ORYAAAAAAAAAAA!" A loud voiced brat yelled.
"Shut up Naruto! Can't you see we're training?"
"Didn't you slip into a river and nearly drown?"
"Un un! And didn't Sasuke save your puny little butt?"
And the students laughed.
Naruto's face grew red and he shouted
"URUSAI YO! SASUKE DIDN'T SAVE ME! I WAS JUST PLAYING AROUND WITH HIM!"
"Suuuuuuure Naruto, too bad you didn't die in that river."
"Yea, Sasuke-kun should've left you there..."
And the group burst out in laughter again, leaving an extremely mad Naruto to yell at them
As Sasuke stared at Naruto's face, he observed that something wasn't quite right—Naruto wasn't mad at all...
When everyone had turned away from Naruto, (besides Sasuke of course) Naruto dropped his facade for a second.
"Should've died huh? Yea...I wish." Naruto whispered, his shoulders drooping and his eyes looking forlorn.
"It would be nice to be at peace..." He murmured again before putting his mask back on and going to taunt Sakura.
Sasuke gazed silently at Naruto.
>So he's still hurting.> He thought before resuming his training.
"Neh neh! Did you hear? Did you hear? Valentine's Day is coming up!" Ino whispered excitedly.
"Oh yea! It is!" Sakura joined in.
"I'm going to make homemade chocolates!" Tenten said happily.
"But aren't we going to spend Valentine's Day here?" Temari asked.
"AH! NO CHOCOLATE MIX TO MAKE CHOCOLATE!" Sakura screeched.
"NO SUPPLIES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHH!" Ino yelled.
"MY BELOVED KAKASHI-SENSEI! IM SO SORRYYYYYYYY!" Sobbed another girl. (Kakashi fangirl?)
"Actually... the-there are some trees with cocoa beans here..." Hinata said timidly.
(NEW Author's Note: wahahaha, thanks to all you lovely reviewers out there for telling me how to make chocolate WAKEKEKEKE –goes on a mad choco plant spree- er, but lets still pretend chocolate is easy to make, just for the sake of this story, neh? –wink wink bribes with sasunaru plushies wink wink-)
"Oh yea! Hinata and I found some of those trees near this village! We could make chocolates out of those!" Tenten agreed.
"All right!" Sakura yelled.
"NOW'S MY CHANCE TO STEAL SASUKE'S HEART! HELL YEA!" Inner Sakura screamed.
"Neh neh, who are you making chocolates for?" A voice prodded.
"Why, of course for my beloved Sasuke and—GAH! NARUTO WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? GIRLS ONLY! GET OUT!" Sakura screeched as she kicked Naruto out of the little gossip corner.
"Anyway, really, who are you girls going to give chocolates to?" Ino asked curiously.
Immediately, at least 90 of all the girls screeched "Sasuke and Kakashi" while both guys and girls yelled "HAKU!" (Where'd the guys come from? –gawks-)
"Well, actually...Neji...and Sasuke of course." Tenten said shyly.
"Ki-Kiba and Naruto." Hinata mumbled, so softly no one heard her.
"Well, Sasuke of course, but then, I guess I'll make one for Shikamaru too. After all, we get along quite well." Ino declared.
"ONLY SASUKE! SASUKE IS ALL MINE! MINE MINE MINE! I'LL MAKE THE BEST CHOCOLATE FOR HIM!" Sakura yelled.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S YOURS? SASUKE IS MINE!" Ino yelled. (What about Shikamaru? T-T)
"SHUT UP! WE ALL KNOW I CAN COOK BETTER, INO-PIG!"
"BIG FOREHEAD GIRL!"
"INO PIG!
"FOREHEAD GIRL!"
(Narrator: And so the quarreling ensues...but what will happen on that fateful day; Valentines Day?
Well now, we'll have to get through about 3 more days before that will come up!
Author: Nyaa...toko-chan was going to end it here...but it's only...checks 11 pages! Gah...8 more pages to go! See how nice this author is? XP)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 1:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"MUST GET COCOA BEANS!"
"HEY! I GOT THOSE FIRST!'
"IIIIIIIIYAAAAAAAAA! YOU STEPPED ON MY COCOA BEAN!"
"MOVE ASIDE! THIS IS FOR MY PRECIOUS HAKU!" (That would be Toko-chan talking XD)
"IN THE NAME OF LOVE I ORDER YOU TO MOVE FROM THAT BEAN!"
"IN THE NAME OF KAKASHI STEP AWAY FROM THE COCOA!" (O.O;; o my...a bit obsessed now?)
"GAH! NO! THIS IS THE PERFECT PLANT FOR SASUKE! MOVE!"
"NOO! IT'S FOR ME! I SAW IT FIRST!"
The guys had no choice but to look bewildered at the bickering girls, almost like how women would fight over clothes at the discount store...
But then again, some guys were attempting to make chocolate too:
"MOVE! THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR HAKU!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN? HAKU'S ONLY GOING TO RETURN MY AFFECTIONS! NO ONE ELSES!"
"OI! HAKU'S MINE! AND SO IS THAT BEAN YOU GOT THERE!"
"NOOOOOO! SASUKE'S MINE!" A voice screamed. (O.O Oh...my...goodness...what kind of homo school did toko-chan make; love for haku is ok, but sasuke as well! –nosebleeds-)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While the girls, (and some guys) were busy making their pretty chocolates...The guys grouped together to have a talk:
"Neh neh, Neji, who do you think will give you chocolates?" Naruto asked.
"Hnn, maybe..." Neji left off thoughtfully. (thinking of Tenten no doubt! XD)
"Ah? Maybe? Maybe who?" Naruto muttered.
"I await chocolates from Sakura-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! " Rock said, his eyes replaced with hearts.
"NANI! SAKURA'S GOING TO GIVE CHOCOLATES TO ME!" Naruto fumed.
"Maybe I'll get one from Ino." Shikamaru said thoughtfully.
"Hinata will definitely get me and Shino some. She's like that." Kiba nodded.
"...Does it matter?" Gaara muttered.
Sasuke waited for Naruto to come up and ask him as well, but for some reason, Naruto seemed to stay away.
>That dobe, he's ignoring me.>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The girls (and some guys) were putting their final touches on their chocolates! Some howling in anger, for their chocolate didn't turn out right, others squealing at their nice handiwork.
Kakashi stood in the Teacher's lounge glancing at everyone.
"Sooooooooo is anyone here making chocolates?" Kakashi asked.
"..." Silence filled the room.
"Now why would I do something as childish as that?" Anko muttered, her feet on the table.
Kakashi sweatdropped.
"Umm...anyone else?"
"Hmph, even if we WERE making chocolates, we wouldn't tell you." Kurenai said casually, flipping her hair over her shoulder.
"Un, and if we DID make chocolates, who would we give them to?" Snickered Tsunade.
"Yare Yare, now that's a bit harsh..." Kakashi sighed.
Iruka said nothing and blushed. (OHOHOHOHO -evil grin-)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FINAL DAY - VALENTINE'S DAY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone was buzzing with excitement; girls (and guys) were running around rampant with their pretty parcels of candy.
Sasuke woke up, feeling it was going to be a bad day today...He looked over at Naruto's bed, expecting him to be awake first, as usual.
But there Naruto was, still snoring in bed.
"Oi, dobe. Wake up before you miss out on all the candy." Sasuke sneered.
Naruto merely frowned and turned over.
"Dobe! Didn't you hear me? Get your lazy ass up!" Sasuke ordered again.
"It's no use..." Naruto murmured sleepily.
"Hn?" Sasuke looked at Naruto questioningly.
"Valentine's Day...Where's the meaning in that? No one gives anything to me anyhow..." Naruto murmured again.
Sasuke was surprised.
>Why is Naruto being so open?>
Naruto turned around again, snoring slightly.
Sasuke sweatdropped.
>He's still asleep.>
Sasuke got dressed and stepped out the door.
The sun was shining and the day was just starting. There were no clouds in the sky, birds of all sorts were flying, singing a happy song.
And the first thing Sasuke thought was...
>Oh...Shit.>
Sasuke stared at the hordes of fangirls waiting for him at his door.
>What are they trying to do? Ambush me or something?> He gritted as he quickly ran as if his life depended on it.
He ran as quickly as he could, escaping to a little hiding place behind several logs.
>Imagine this...I, Uchiha Sasuke, who could beat up all these ignorant girls...is actually running AWAY from them.>
As he sat there in his hiding place, he got bored began to think.
"Naruto, at that time...after that incident...he's not showing it, but he's been ignoring me; We haven't fought for days—we haven't even sparred now that I think about it...and...we haven't talked to each other this whole time." Sasuke sighed quietly.
"But then, why should I care? Maybe I should just go back and take on those girls..." Sasuke stood up and brushed himself off.
"Yea, then I'll have to confront Naruto about this." He began to walk down the path...
But unknown to him, a silent wind had turned eerily calm and dark as it hissed:
"Uchiha Sasuke. I've found you at last..."
(AUTHORS NOTE: NYAAHHAHAH! FINALLY! A PLOT ARISES! XD REJOICE! Ok ok back to the story)
Sasuke entered the clearing and immediately fangirls were on him.
"Here, Sasuke! –Hearts-"
"This is for you. –More hearts-"
"Sasuke-kun..."
Sasuke looked at each of the girls coldly, in fact, he glared at each and everyone one of the—WHAT THE! WHATS THAT GUY DOING THERE? Erm, anyway, Sasuke gave them a sharp look, making some swoon over.
"I don't want them." He said coldy, his voice turning into ice.
"But Sasuke-kuuuuuun" A voice whined.
"Give them to Naruto." And with that, he walked out, leaving the devastated girls behind.
But even so, Sasuke searched through his pockets...and found several boxes somehow lodged in them
"Idiots." He muttered as he shivered at the memory of that crazy lovestruck guy.
>He looks nothing like Naruto.> Sasuke mused, not that I WANT him to...
Walking away, he surveyed the crowd and noticed something quite amusing:
Zabuza held a speaker, angrily muttering:
"We need backup NOW! There's more than I expected! Now hurry over before I kill some of them." He snarled as Haku nervously hid behind him
The mob of (both guys and girls) had backed Haku against a wall and Zabuza could barely contain them from trampling over him.
"I swear I'm going to slice some heads off" Zabuza said angrily.
"Yada, Zabuza-san! That won't be very nice..." Haku cried desperately.
"Mou, Haku, be more cruel for once!" Zabuza huffed.
"But Zabuza-san, isn't this what you like about me?" Haku said shyly, "Hora, I made this for you."
He smiled and handed Zabuza a cute box of chocolates.
"Haku! When did you...?" Zabuza asked, a bit surprised.
"I have my ways." Haku grinned.
"Now THAT'S what I like about you." Zabuza smiled.
"Now, Haku, stick those in my pockets over there—My hands are full at the moment..."
Haku glanced at the speakers and the giant blade that Zabuza was wielding in both hands.
"Ha-Hai...-sweatdrops-"
Sasuke smirked and continued walking unit he noticed another mob! But it was mostly of girls...
And there was Kakashi, perched high upon a rooftop, looking down on all his adoring fans.
"Thank you for your chocolates, minna, but please, just throw them at me; I'll catch them." He smiled.
"I can't risk being mobbed by that huge group" He muttered under his breath.
Immediately chocolates were aimed at him, some at alarmingly high speeds, others with full power.
"Wha-What are they trying to do? Kill me!" Kakashi yelped as he dodged some and caught others to put in his already full bag of chocolates.
Suddenly a figure appeared behind him.
"Yo."
"I-Iruka! What are you doing up here? Were you being chased too?" Kakashi asked, surprised.
Iruka smiled, "Iie. But, I was bored, so I made these for you...Not that you already have a lot." Iruka stuttered, as he handed Kakashi a nice, pretty heart shaped box.
"Iruka, I don't know what to say..." A touched Kakashi said, gazing at his precious "Iruka chocolates" before dodging another chocolate box.
"But don't think it's because I like you in that way or anything! That'd be a bit awkward." Iruka frowned, a light blush forming on his cheeks.
"Hai, hai. Whatever you say." Kakashi smiled.
"Just like the past eh? Iruka..." He silently whispered to himself.
Sasuke once again walked on, declining a few more chocolates and breaking a few more hearts. (oh only about twenty hearts or so –rolls eyes-)
He went to the training grounds, and surprisingly, no one was there.
>Then again, who would be training when they're all hoping for chocolates?> Sasuke thought sarcastically.
He began to cross the training grounds, looking for something to kick, until he heard some voices:
"Na-Naruto-kun, this is for you..."
"Hi-Hinata-chan! For me? Are you sure?"
"U—un..."
"Thanks Hinata! You sure made my day!"
Sasuke hid behind a tree, watching Naruto's little interaction with the shy girl.
>So he got chocolates after all...good for him.> Sasuke thought, >but why do I feel a bit sad?>
He watched atop a tree as Hinata cheerfully skipped back to meet with the other girls, leaving Naruto happily munching on his chocolates.
>What is wrong with me?> Sasuke wondered a bit frightfully. >I am not capable of these feelings, but why am I...>
Suddenly, Naruto looked up.
"OI! I can sense you! Whoever you are! Come out!" He yelled.
>Kuso! I forgot to hide my chakra!> Sasuke angrily thought.
He dropped to the ground.
"Yo." He simply said.
"Sasuke!" Naruto exclaimed, "bug off. Nothing you can say is going to destroy my happiness today."
Naruto grinned.
"I know. Here."
Sasuke thrust out some chocolates to Naruto.
"Wha-What? Aren't these from your fangirls? I don't want them." Naruto snarled.
"I don't like chocolate. You can have them."
"I don't want your left overs!"
"...Then pretend I made them for you." Sasuke thrust all the chocolates into Naruto's hand and began to walk away.
"Wh-Why me?" He heard the blond mutter.
Sasuke stopped.
>Because...I have a strange feeling inside me that I can't describe—but I can't say that!>
"...I know how true loneliness feels like." Sasukemustered before he walked away again, leaving the surprised Kyuubi staring after him
>Now weren't you going to talk to him about ignoring you?> A voice chided in Sasuke's head.
>Aa, but for some reason...I feel too happy to spoil the mood.> Sasuke replied.
>Souka...why do I feel so happy for such a small act? All I did was give Naruto something I did not want.>
And the shinobi quietly walked away, feeling happy and peaceful.
-End of Valentine Special –
-Next Day-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Everyone! Line up and quietly step into the bus!" Kakashi yelled cheerfully.
"Mou, the field trip is finally over." Sighed Shikamaru, "it was nice there—all we did was relax."
"I-I didn't get a chance for Sasuke to return my love!" Sobbed Sakura.
"I'll be glad to get away from THIS jerk." Naruto said as everyone entered the bus.
"Ah? Actually you don't." Iruka's voice replied.
"Na-NANI!" Naruto squawked.
"Aa, since everyone's gotten used to their roommates, we've decided for you to be dorm mates as well." Kakashi said, stepping behind Naruto.
"EHHHHHHHHHHHHH?" The whole class yelled.
Naruto dumped his suitcase into his new dorm; the dorm he was going to share with Sasuke.
"I'm going to have to stick up with him for the rest of the year..." Naruto muttered.
Just as he was cursing Sasuke, the black-haired ninja arrived and quietly put his stuff away.
Naruto turned around and glared at Sasuke, watching his every move.
"Dobe, glaring at me like that won't make me melt away." Sasuke said coolly.
"WHO SAID I WAS DOING THAT!" Screamed Naruto.
As the two quarreled, one silent figure watched from afar, taking extra interest in the older ninja.
"I won't let you get away this time, Sasuke-kun." The figure cackled.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"SASUKE!" Naruto yelled, running towards the taller ninja.
"It's Valentine's Day! How many chocolates did you get?" Naruto yelled excitedly, hooking on too his lover's arm.
"One."
"Eh? That's it?"
"No. One...for you."
Sasuke handed Naruto a large box of chocolates.
"Sasuke, you're acting like a total woman!" Snickered Naruto, a blush going up his cheeks.
"Keh." Smirked Sasuke. "And what about you?"
"Eh? What do you mean?" Naruto said, a bit puzzled.
"How do you explain these?" Sasuke smirked again as he held up a big heart shaped box that said "To: Sasuke From: Naruto with love"
"OI! How did you get that!" Naruto yelled, a bit embarassed.
"I found them while I was in your room this morning."
"NYA! SASUKE! I was going to give that to you at a more special time!"
Sasuke raised his eyebrow.
"This IS a special time." And he pecked Naruto on the nose.
"Thanks for the chocolates, dobe." He said as he lazily waved the chocolates a bit.
"Sasuke temme... Naruto said, a slow smile making his way to his face, as he held his hand to his nose where Sasuke had kissed him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto woke up.
>It's...another...dream like that again.> He thought, >why am I getting all of these? I don't want them!>
He clutched his head.
>I don't want any memories from the past! I don't want any more pain!> Naruto yelled mentally.
Suddenly, Naruto felt a shiver go down his spine.
>That feeling...I've felt it before.> He thought, and he swiveled his head towards Sasuke.
He found a thin figure crouched over the boy, reaching down towards his throat...
"Na-NANDATTE BA YO? DARE GA? AND WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Yelled Naruto.
The figure suddenly stood up, and disappeared.
"What—he vanished..." Naruto whispered.
He walked over to Sasuke's bed.
Sasuke was still asleep.
"Baka, why didn't you wake up? You should've sensed him..." Naruto murmured.
Sasuke stirred again.
He was obviously dreaming...of what? Naruto wasn't quite sure he wanted to know.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was Itachi, and Orochimaru; both were chasing after him.
But no matter how hard the black-haired ninja ran, they seemed to catch up to him.
Sasuke couldn't turn around and fight, and he couldn't stop and stand still—all he could do was run...which was what he did.
He felt fear rushing to his brain, making him run further, but his brother and the Snake Sage were catching up quickly.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed as he darted up, taking deep breaths.
"Oi...Daijobu?" A voice prodded.
Sasuke looked up.
"Oh, Naruto, it's you."
"Of course it's me. Who else would it be? Your secret lover?" Naruto joked.
"But Naruto..."
"Hai?"
"You ARE my secret lover."
Naruto widened his eyes.
"EHHHHH...well, not for long! Everyone's going to know about us soon!" Naruto grinned, "then all the fangirls won't come after you anymore."
Sasuke smiled and nodded.
"Demo sa, Sasuke, you had another nightmare again? You've been having them for a while..." Naruto said, concern showing in his eyes.
"Aa, demo, It's all right...as long as you're here."
"Sasuke! Don't be so sappy!"
"You shouldn't be talking, baka."
"BAKA! OI! BAKA JANAI YO! AHO!"
"Keh. It's true, you talk more like a woman then I do sometimes."
"TAKE THAT BACK!"
"Make me."
And Sasuke pulled Naruto down, engaging in a tickle fight.
Then out of the dark, Orochimaru sneaked upon them, his narrow eyes glaring upon Sasuke.
"You...are MINE!" He snarled as he lunged towards Sasuke.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke jolted awake, breathing heavily.
"Oi, daijoubu?" A voice prodded.
Sasuke looked up, and encountered Naruto, sitting calmly on the side of his bed.
"Oh, Naruto, it's you."
"Of course it's me. Who else would it be? Your secret lover?" Naruto joked. (DEJA VU!)
Sasuke shook his head.
This was sounding a bit too familiar.
"Naruto, what are you doing here?"
"Eh? What do you mean? This is our dorm; I'm being forced to share it with you. Baka. did you bump your head or something?" Naruto pouted.
"...so it WAS a dream." Sasuke sighed as he leaned back onto the pillow.
"Mm? Yume?"
"Aa. Yume."
>That conversation in the beginning...was almost too alike to the one in my dream.> Sasuke thought tiredly.
"Sasuke?"
"Nani?"
"Did you by chance...sense a cloaked figure bending over you while you were sleeping?"
Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"Cloaked figure? You must've been hallucinating."
"Demo, I was sure he was there! I yelled and he disappeared!" Insisted Naruto.
"Fine fine, so how did he look like?"
"Welllll, I couldn't really tell much about him except that he had narrow, scary eyes..."
Sasuke froze.
>Was it that Orochimaru guy in my dream?>
"Naruto, was he extremely thin and tall; like a snake?"
"Mm? Somewhat, I guess...Wait! How did you know? You've seen him before?"
"...Maybe."
Sasuke shivered, this did not sound like a good situation.
The two sat there quietly, until:
"Naruto, why are you sitting on my bed?"
"To check up on you. Idiot."
"..."
"No-Not in any romantic way to see if you're cold or anything! That figure that was over you caught my attention, and I was wondering if he had done anything!"
"You were worried?"
"Well, of course! I-I mean...Not about YOU! About whether or not that guy was going to get me next or not!"
"...Right."
Ignoring the kyuubi's angry remarks, Sasuke closed his eyes and smirked.
>This was almost like the dream...now all that needs to be done is...>
"...AND HOW COULD YOU THINK I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU? You're such an idiot, and a show-off, and AAAH! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!" Screamed Naruto as Sasuke pulled him down.
"Let go of me you gayass! AHHHHHH! THAT TICKLES! HEY! YOU'RE GETTING IT THIS TIME!" Naruto shouted as he tickled Sasuke back.
The two wrestled around trying to tickle each other until Naruto stopped and realized...
"Sasuke, you're...you're laughing!"
Sasuke was having a lot of fun; in fact, he was laughing like he used to when his parents were still alive—Sasuke hadn't even realized it.
"I'm what? Ah, so I am laughing...Ore wa naze...waratteruno? Why am I laughing..." He muttered softly.
He looked at his hands, a bit bewildered.
Suddenly, he got a nice slap on the back, and a loud voice said:
"So you DO have emotions! Congratulations on finally finding them... took you long enough, slowpoke!"
Sasuke looked back at the blond.
>He was able to make me laugh again...>
Sasuke smirked.
>Well, since I can laugh again, I might as well laugh some more while it lasts.>
And so Sasuke tackled Naruto and started to tickle him again.
"Who's the slowpoke now, dead-last?" Grinned Sasuke.
Naruto looked up at Sasuke, who was currently on top of him, grinning like an idiot.
>I've never seen this side of him before--No! I have...in my dreams.>
Naruto shook those thoughts away.
>Bah! Just hallucinations...but I guess Sasuke CAN be a fun guy...sometimes.>
He flipped Sasuke over and attempted to tickle him back.
And so the Tickle War continued throughout the rest of the night, filled with the laughter of both boys.
...(Yes just tickling! Nothing else:; -holds off the more fluffy sasunaru fans with pitchfork XP-)
