Welcome to another edition of, "What's luv gotta do with it?" Chapter 6, wow. Anyway Sato and Yusuke are not with us due to something involving Yusuke in a bunny suit and Sato with a camera. And a hint of blackmail, so yeah Yusuke is chasing Sato with his "Bunny suit of doom" and doom. Moving on I do not own Naruto.

From the Goth Ninja Incident

I made my way to my house exhausted; and 'gracefully' flopped on the bed, closing me eyes. Though I can't sleep with my thoughts going a mile a minute, there was no way he of all people knew who I like? Because there's no one. I don't need such useless things as love. I have my mission, my goal and that's it. Demo what after that. What if I never defeat him? I mentally growled spending so much time with the idiot has altered my way of thinking.

Naruto. He's like a puppy. So innocent and carefree of everything around him, despite his attempts of being noticed. Good thing I never liked dogs. He's like a weed that is always growing no matter how much you cut it. Everyone tries to bring him down. Then he attaches himself to you and you can't let him go.

He grows on you, or maybe I've grown on him. I just can't stop thinking of him. He's gotten really strong, I haven't noticed lately, but he' s improving. He might be stronger then me, and I can't let that happen. I need to be strong; I need to be the best. Despite his act as an idiot, him and me are two of a kind. Outcasts. Is that why I connect with him?

Why is he hated so much? The adults try so hard to keep children away from him. Naruto is not dangerous. Annoying but not dangerous. Why is he hated so? I snorted since when did become so 'obsessed' by the dobe? Pathetic. Yet, why didn't I see him as an outcast later? I saw him alright, but like everyone did. A class clown pulling pranks and laughing it up.

I saw him like just everyone else did, no one who wouldn't amount to anything. I never thought he would be so strong. He's something. I don't know what. Why does he act so immature, why can't he grow up? Maybe he doesn't want to. I got to ask him why he loves Ramen. And I have to 'talk' to Li.

Iruka is the only one I know of the adults who seem to like Naruto. The adults hate him, they tell awful stories about him, mock him and shun him. What's the big deal? I got to stop wasting my time on him, even if he is interesting. I was about to sleep as I felt a chakra fading. I decided to ignore it, but it felt familiar. Where have I felt that chakra before? No way. It couldn't be. There's no possible way it could be. NARUTO!

Racing out of my house, despite my body's protests, I tried to figure out where the idiot is. I thought I felt him in the forest, but shouldn't he be home. I hate this! Why am I worrying about him. I do not worry. Demo suddenly I'm mother hen over Naruto. I just have to make sure it's his energy.

Damn Naruto. He did this. I'm not supposed to feel any emotions. None. Zero. Yet anything I'm near him I lose it. All these emotions come back. How does he do it, is it intentional? The chakra started to flicker; I could feel adrenaline pumping and fear rising in my throat. He's got to be okay.

There's no way I'm going to let him die. Hopping from tree to tree I approach two figures. One is something guy or girl in black. It even has black lipstick. Creepy. And the other figure is.Naruto! No. No. No. No. No. No. He can't be dead. He' s not dead, he's just not moving. Whoever did this will pay for touching * my * Naruto. Wait did I say he was mine? He's not. He's moving.

Naruto was moving, but in pain. I glared, how dare it hurt Naruto. Performing the necessary seals. Moving my hands in rhythm. Horse. This is for Naruto. Tiger. I watched as Naruto desperately tried to get up time and time again. Why can't he just give it a rest, he's in no position to be moving about like that. Whoever did this will pay. "BREATH OF THE FIREBALL TECHIQUE!!"

My so-called opponent dodged most of the flame, however got hit. How did it know I was here? Whoever whatever it is, it's no beginner. It took off, leaving me alone with Naruto. I better get over there fast before he hurts himself. The sight of him made my heart clench, he looked like he was in a lot of pain. How much training will he miss?

Naruto lived to train; the thought of him not being able didn't help. This is Naruto we're talking about; he will train even if he's half dead. He looks half dead. Resting my hand on his shoulder gently, I look over his wounds. He needs to get to a hospital and fast. Demo the hospital is too far away, I'll need help.

Kuso! Will he stop moving, he's in no condition to be moving about. He can't even stand, yet he's trying to show off on how tough he is. I could feel a tug of a smile hit the corner of my mouth that was Naruto. No matter what you say to him, you can't break that spirit of his. He' too stubborn for his own good.

His arm looks bad, it's just hanging lifelessly and he's breathing heavy. At least he's not slipping on his own blood again. And yet, he's still putting on his stupid fox grin even if it's forced. I try again to ask if he's okay and again he doesn't respond. I'm starting to panic, stupid. Me worrying about Naruto, dead last from our class. Then he suddenly slumps forward and I'm way past panic, but I don't show it, not externally. That teme.

Checking to see if he had a pulse, he did, I sighed he was pasted out. Still how am I going to get him out of here, carefully slipping my arm under his and putting his arm around my neck, I slowly began to carry him. I carry him to Iruka-sensei him of all people, would help Naruto and he was close. Knocking on his door, he opens the door very pale. Talking in a panic tone he helps me get Naruto to the hospital.

Strange thing happened, Naruto gets fixed up, but a few of the doctors threw fits about Naruto staying here. Of course, he should stay. He can't even stand. Iruka called Kakashi who came rather quickly and Sakura was eating dinner. And her father didn't care at all about Naruto and wouldn't let her come. Hmmm. In the end, Naruto had to go to his house, but a few fistfights broke out. I started and ended a few.

We all stayed with Naruto till, Kakashi told me to go home and Iruka stayed with Naruto till he had to get ready for class. Kakashi was helping Iruka with something. Demo I couldn't leave him alone, it wasn't like I had anything better to do. I snuck back into Naruto's house after Iruka and Kakashi left. I knew I would be in trouble for missing training, but Naruto was much more important than training any day. Besides he was my teammate. I stared at the blond idiot wrapped in bandages, and tidied up.

For a while I explored his house, since I never been here. Then I made some breakfast, but all he had was Ramen. He's really obsessed. Funny thing I never thought of Naruto in an apron till today, not did I think I would be in an apron. Trying to discover the difference between the kinds of Ramen, I heard a loud thump. Turning around, Naruto was awake.

He's unbelievable. Most people would try to stay in bed with his kind of injuries, but not him. I quirked an eyebrow asking him what did he think he was doing. He gave me this shit about the floor kissing him. He's weird.

"What are you doing here?"

"What does it look like?"

"How am I supposed to know? "

I sighed, " I'm making you breakfast. "

He looked at me with this cute confused look. Then he asked me if he knocked something loose. Once an idiot, always an idiot. I think he knocked something loose, not me.

"Nani?! What are you talking about, dobe?"

"Then why are you here?"

"Because I can." "Says who?"

Kuso. He has me there. "I-I was worried, I guess." I stuttered I do not stutter. Besides I worry about him as a friend. Nothing more.

"Say what?"

"You heard what I said."

"Why?" I really hate that question, I want to kill it. It should die.

"You took some bad hits there got Iruka and Kakashi all upset."

Then he tried to get up, he needs to stop being so reckless and he starts to slip the second time. And he slips and I catch him, I just reacted. Carefully I tried to put him on the bed and I can feel him staring at me and I quickly let go of him. Mumbling an excuse I turn to the kitchen and see Naruto sleeping. About time.

The next day I faced Kakashi's wrath which was 6 hours of extra training Sakura gave me a hopeless look, when I was done every muscle hurt, but I still went to Naruto's house. It's past midnight.

I open the door entering Naruto's house and I hear some noises, punching and cursing. Opening that door I find Naruto beating up a 'dummy' that oddly enough looks like me. And I'm shocked, he's shirtless and there are no wounds. No scars. Nothing. How can he heal that fast. Even his arm is healed.

"Your wounds they're gone."

Naruto blinks at me, then looks at his arm and shrugs. It's not possible, no one can heal that fast. No one human at least.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was just checking u-up on you. It's late I better go."

As I turn to leave Naruto yells for me and I say what.

"Look you look pretty beat. And well thanks for stopping by. So.."

"Get to the point."

"No need to be so rude. I was going ask you to stay the night, but now."

I turn to leave again, I'm just too tired for this, and Naruto stops me again.

"You can stay, you can sleep on the couch. "

I nod, and he leads me into his house. I slept on the couch in my clothes, and it wasn't bad he did invite me in ne? Breakfast was another matter; Naruto was trying to tell me the different kinds of Ramen as I dragged him out of bed. And he really loves Ramen; I guess I could get use to it, but 24/7.

Anyway after he gets dressed he's being annoying as usual.

"Hey Sasuke."

"Yeah."

"Wanna do something?"

"No."

"Please." He gives me the 'puppy' eyes look. I cant' help, but melt, its way to cute. Damn him and his damn 'puppy' eyes. I give in.

We're going to play tag."

"Tag?"

"Yeah you see the person who's it has to chase everyone else and make them it."

"Sounds pointless."

"That' s because you're it." And he 'tagged' me. He shoves me and runs off. He was going to pay for that as I tackled him landing on top of him, it was that precise moment Kakahsi walked in.

"Oh. Sasuke I see you like it on * top *? " What did he mean, wait oh. Oh. Oh. That's wrong.

Naruto strikes back with a comment stating yesterday there was a lot of moaning going on in the living room and only Iruka-sensei and Kakashi- sensei were here. Must of happened when I left. Kakashi chuckled and said there was a mission tomorrow and got out the door as fast as he could. Demo before saying a comment on how I shouldn't be so *rough * on Naruto. Damn him. I got up and Naruto and I resumed this 'tag.' He is such a sore loser.
