Chapter Six
[Naruto's POV]
I was still confused about what that Kankuro guy said. Little one? Who the hell?! They'd better not be talking about me!!! I am NOT little....
I kept thinking about the kiss Sasuke gave me earlier. I was so shocked that I couldn't do anything at first. Well, I started to do something, til Sakura had to go all dreamy-sigh-in-her-sleep. It kind of pissed me off, a little. Oh man, it was sweet though!! Sasuke tasted like tomatoes sort of.
Holy crap! I'm going all sentimental. Gross.....
But I just can't stop thinking about it. Does this mean he likes me back?? Or was he playing a cruel joke? Kami, I wish I knew. I should probably talk to him, or something.
NO!! If I talk to him, and he DOESN'T like me back, he'll never EVER speak to me again! Holy hells, this is complicated! I hate complicated things. Hate them like I hate black flies.
Kami, all this thinking is going to my head. I've already made it home and it only took me, like, two seconds (to me, anyways). I've just really got to talk to someone! Or I'm going to explode, into a million pieces and never become the Hokage and never to marry Sasuke and have lots of kids!!
Wait a sec, I'm a dude, so.... Aww, crap! Kami, I'm stupid...
Skip my house, I'm going to Iruka's.
It took me about five minutes to get there, half of which was going up stairs since he lives in a fourth story apartment. I hate stairs. When I got there, I started beating on the door. I think I kicked it a few times as well, but I can never be sure. It took Iruka about a whole thirty seconds to open the door, and by then I had already started leaping towards him. I caught him around the waist and we both fell to the floor.
He laughed. "Naruto, what the heck are you doing?" he asked me light- heartedly. He looked up at me from his spot on the floor and I smiled at him. I was sitting on his stomach but he didn't mind. He never does, because we're like brothers!
"Can't I visit my all-time favorite sensei anymore??" I smirked and got up off him.
"Not without good reason," he said, smirking.
"Heh heh heh..." I rubbed the back of my head.
"So, Naruto, what DO you want from me today, hmm? Ramen, or maybe, ramen?"(A/N - Rin: Stupid, I know, but bear with me....) Iruka said, chuckling. I smiled sheepishly and sweat dropped. Why did he always think I wanted ramen from him? Am I that shallow? Come on!
"No, Iruka-sensei, I wanted some advice...."
He perked up. "Advice?" He looked shocked.
"Oh, shut up and let me talk to you, would ya?!?"
He laughed at me.
"Whatever."
We both stood up and made our way to the table. I pulled out a chair and plunked down into it. Iruka scolded me, saying that I could break the chair. I only smiled sheepishly again.
"Anyway," he said. "What do you need advice for, Naruto?"
I thought for a second. I mentally smirked; a joke would be freakin' awesome! "Ummm...." I laughed nervously. "I think I forgot!!" A vein popped in Iruka-sensei's forehead. "Oh, NOW I remember!" He looked at me as if saying, 'You'd better fucking well', but then I remembered that Iruka- sensei didn't swear. Go figure.
"Well," I stated. "The thing is, I have a- I mean, a FRIEND of mine has a problem, and I wanted to help him by getting some advice from a teacher. So I'm here at your house, Sensei!!" He smiled at me knowingly. I knew that he knew what I meant. But I'm not gonna give HIM that satisfaction!!!
"And what, Naruto, would be your FRIEND'S problem?" He smiled a bit too sweetly.
"Well....." How would I put this? What did I say, that MY FRIEND has this weird Sand-nin who'd like nothing better then to shove his tongue down MY FRIEND'S throat, and that there was another guy (of whom MY FRIEND has a crush on) who just kissed him and MY FRIEND wanted to know if the guy really liked him or not? Eh, why the hell not? I've been just as blunt with everything else.
So, I told him.
Iruka did this weird nod thing every so often while I was speaking, and it was kind of annoying, but I ignored it. When I finished, he put his hand to his chin and looked like he was thinking. I could SO tell from the smile twitching at his lips that this was something he'd already thought about before and that he already had the answer to.
"Well, Naruto," he said. "Tell your FRIEND to tell that Sand-nin that he isn't interested in him and to tell the guy of whom he has a crush on his feelings. I'm sure that the guy will understand his feelings, and even if he rejects him, I'm sure that they'll still be friends. As for the Sand- nin, if he keeps coming on strong, get your friend to talk to his sensei or something, so that they can arrange a sort of protection for him."
I stared at him for a minute. Maybe he was right. Maybe I should just tell Sasuke how I felt and get it over with. If he rejects me, I'll be hurt as hell, but at least I won't be keeping it to myself anymore. And if he accepts me, well, I'll be jumping for joy! I smiled before hugging him. "Thank you Iruka-sensei!!" I exclaimed.
He patted me on the head and smiled. "Any time, Naruto, any time." He loosely placed his arms around me.
I stood up from his embrace and turned to leave. I turned my head and smiled at him before giving him a huge smile. "I'm going to tell my friend right now! He'll be so happy!" I then ran out his front door, waving to Iruka as I ran.
I had to get to Sasuke's house and tell him how I felt, right now! I was so excited as I ran through the night towards his ninja apartment. I kept on fantasising about what would happen if he accepted me! Tee hee, it was so mushy that I am not going to share it with you. Maybe another time.
About half way there, I was panting slightly. I stopped for a moment to catch my breath and saw something move from the corner of my eye. I looked over and it lead to an alleyway, covered in shadows. I gulped, fearing that it could be Gaara. I wasn't all that sure though, because I couldn't sense chakra as well as Sasuke or Sakura could.
Feeling a bit brave, I called out, "Yo!! Come out!! I know you're there!!" The figure moved again and from the shadows stepped Sasuke.
