Don't think anything else...so, Onto the Story .

Sasuke climbed to his feet quickly aiming a kunai at Naruto, who was running at him. The kunai struck Naruto on the cheek, but he didn't stop running, ignoring the blood running down his face. Sasuke braced for the assault, but didn't imagine the speed that Naruto was using. He fell back into his old routine, kicking and punching to his fullest. He felt a hard kick to the back of his knee, collapsing him to the ground, another kick coming to his chest. He landed on his back staring, winded, at the sky.

Naruto kneeled next to him, with his trademark fox grin on his face, spitting his own previous question back in his face.

"Loser?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke quickly rolled, striking Naruto in the heels, causing him to fall down next to him. Both pushed themselves to their feet, eyes locked. 'Why is it... I don't actually want to hurt him..?' Sasuke mentally slapped himself; he couldn't be like this! He had NO feelings towards Naruto... did he? No he didn't. Naruto was his rival, nothing more. He had a mission to accomplish, he couldn't feel ANYTHING for ANYONE.

Naruto was the first to break eye contact, running straight at him.

"What's wrong bastard? Can't keep up?"

Sasuke ran full at Naruto, ready for anything.

"I can keep up with you any day, baka."

"Don't call me that you jerk!" Naruto made to punch Sasuke in the face, once again.

Sasuke raised his arms, prepared to block, when Naruto just disappeared. 'Where'd he go!'

By this time both Kakashi and Sakura were intently watching the fight. 'This really has gotten interesting...' Kakashi watched Sasuke, whose eyes, filled with the Sharingan were darting from side to side, trying to sense Naruto. 'He has gotten very good at hiding his chakra.'

Sasuke caught the kunai that was aimed for his chest, quickly throwing it back from where it came from, only to hear it whiz through leaves. A tap on his shoulder made him turn around, on automatic reaction, he struck out with his leg, connecting his foot to Naruto's shoulder. Both males went flying, Naruto to the side, Sasuke straight back. 'Obviously he managed to hit me...' Sasuke thought, bringing the back of his hand to wipe at the blood on his lips.

Both struggled to their feet, finding it harder then they believed.

'I don't know if I can beat this bastard down... Come on you stupid fox give me your strength.' Naruto clenched his fists, pushing himself to his feet, Sasuke quickly following him.

Both boys went running at each other, fists raised.

"Take this you bastard!"

Both boys connected to the others face, not bothering to block or try to dodge. Blood was coming from both mouths, running down chins. Eyes locked the two stood there, unmoving.

"Dobe, you think that punch would beat me?"

"Obviously I'm not the dobe, if you think yours could beat me."

Naruto heard a low growling, was it him or Sasuke? It was too hard to tell from this proximity, all he knew was that it sounded very menacing.

Kakashi and Sakura both watched, as two bodies fell to the ground. Both were beaten.

"Sasuke-Kun!" Sakura went running towards the dark haired boy, kneeling down next to him. "How are we supposed to continue training, if you two kill each other in the progress?" Kakashi stood behind Sakura, shaking his head at the two forms on the ground.

Later..

Naruto opened his eyes, only to be staring at his ceiling. He couldn't believe he lost to Sasuke! When did that bastard knock him out? Correction, HOW did he knock him out? That last thing he remembered was that last punch. 'No way! There's no way he could've beaten me with that punch!'

He rolled off his bed, moving into the bathroom to stare in the mirror. He had a few minor scratches, but he noticed the bruise that lay under his 'whiskers'. Naruto brushed his teeth, washed his face, careful of the bruise, the scratches would heal themselves soon. He walked back into his room, reaching the closet and pulling it open to change into his sleeping shirt and shorts. He didn't care what time it was he was going to bed to sleep, for a long time, maybe a year.

He left his room, moving into the kitchen, instantly going to a cupboard to retrieve a bowl of instant Ramen. He growled, his appetite was spoiled after his loss, it was still hard to believe he had lost. Even after all his extra training, he had still lost. He left the chicken ramen on the counter, and slouched back into the bedroom, completely unready for what he'd find.

"What the hell!" He stared wide-eyed at the figure lying on his bed.

He picked up his pillow, and smacked the boy on the side with it.

"Sasuke, you bastard! Get out of my house!" He continued hitting the boy, trying to get him to wake up, thoughts racing through his head. 'What's he doing here? And SLEEPING in my bed! What happened? Nothing happened… right?' He began to hit the boy harder, his panic meter reaching it's max.

Sasuke was jolted awake by something that hit his side. He quickly sat up ready to defend himself against his attacker. He nearly fell back off the bed when he noticed, he wasn't in his own house, and the boy across from him, wasn't all too happy about it either. Naruto was giving him a glare, almost able to match his own. This so wasn't good.

"Dobe?" Sasuke managed, still trying to figure out what the hell was going on. He received another hard smack from the pillow that Naruto was holding.

"Don't call me that! What are you doing in my house?"

Sasuke grabbed the pillow as it was swung at him again, and pulled it away from Naruto.

"How the hell should I know!"

Naruto just stood there glaring at him. Sasuke put the pillow back on the bed, quickly standing up, getting as far away from the bed as possible. Both eyes were directed to the window, when they heard a loud thunderclap.

"Great," Sasuke murmured. "I'm stuck here." He walked over to the window, watching the rain pelt at the glass. "Looks like I wont be going anywhere."

He turned around to face Naruto, who was still glaring at him. Why did this have to happen to him? When did he get there? WHY was he here? They were all very good questions, ones he wished he could get an answer to, right now.

Naruto looked at the window, "Why would a storm stop you? We've been stuck in worse out on missions. I want you out! Out of my house! Why were you here in the first place!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes, trying not to snap at the boy that he knew just as much as the boy about the situation. Taking a calming breath he looked back at Naruto, reluctantly having to ask his next question, "Look, Naruto, can I stay over tonight? I would rather not get stuck in this storm."

Naruto narrowed his eyes, then seemed to give in, his face quickly changing to boredom, trying to hide his anger and confusion. He quickly shrugged, trying to act as indifferent as the stoic boy, "Sure, why not. I don't know if any of my clothes will fit you, but we'll see."

Sasuke nodded, he was a few inches taller than the blond was, he didn't doubt that the clothes were too small. He'd have to deal with it. Sasuke watched Naruto as he made for his closet, hopping over clothes all too familiar with the state of… array.

Sasuke moved closer to the blond, who had began to look through his closet, however few clothes were left in there. The blonde really needed to do laundry.

"Ne.. Naruto?" He whispered in the boys' ear.

"Yea?" Naruto turned around, completely surprised by the soft mouth covering his own.

Sasuke gently pressed his lips against Naruto's, then moved back smiling weakly at the boy, "Thanks."

Naruto just stared, wide-eyed at him. He nodded and handed Sasuke a pair of orange shorts and a white T-shirt, similar to the one he was wearing. Sasuke moved past him, into the bathroom.

Naruto pulled at his hair, screaming inside his own head. 'I've gone insane, he didn't kiss me, nothing's going on! Brain malfunction, rewind, delete last input! Nothing happened. I don't remember a thing, NOPE.' Naruto collapsed onto the bed, shutting down his mind. Yep. He had gone insane, nothing more.

Sasuke stared at his reflection in the mirror. His eyes seemed unfocused, his hair unbelievably rumpled. All in all he looked like he had just gotten in a very long fight. Dirt was smudged on his face, his lip was swollen and still barely bleeding. He looked at the bruises on his face, his forearms and his legs. He looked like a pin cushion, or a punching bag, he couldn't tell which was a better description for his body's current state. He looked at the shorts in disgust, orange was really not his color. Sasuke stripped his shirt off his body, finding more, and more, bruises. However worse they seemed than the obvious ones. He pulled the other shirt on, trying not to think about how seeing Naruto's torso in a white, very tight shirt made him blush. He smacked himself ignoring the thought of him running his hands over Naruto's torso.

'STOP IT,' He screamed at himself mentally.

Sasuke took a deep, calming breath. He was not going to think of Naruto that way. Nope, not possible. Uchiha Sasuke does not like one Uzumaki Naruto. They were nothing but rivals. Naruto would've killed him for the thoughts going through Sasuke's mind.

Coming from the bathroom, clad in the white shirt and orange shorts, he moved off to find Naruto. He entered the kitchen, finding Naruto heating up Miso Ramen, seeing a chicken ramen on the counter.

"What's wrong with that one?"

Naruto ignored him, sitting down at the table with two cups of ramen, one in front, and one across from him. Naruto took a deep breath, picking up a few noodles with this chopsticks.

"We are to never speak of that to anyone," Naruto stated, staring into his ramen.

"Hn. Why would I want to tell anyone I kissed you dobe?" Sasuke scoffed, playing back into his old routine.

Naruto didn't even spare him a glance at the name. He just sat there, and began eating his ramen, slowly. It seemed very uncharacteristic of Naruto. He would normally always want to kill Sasuke for calling him dead last, what's so different now? Why couldn't they just go back to their rivalry and completely ignore that kiss?

When they were finished, table cleared, and dishes put to soak in the sink; Naruto gave Sasuke his Fox grin.

"I'll go get you a pillow and a blanket, you can sleep on the couch," He bounded off into the bedroom.

Sasuke sat on the couch, arms crossed and legs crossed underneath him, eyes closed. Why him? Why was he stuck, in a house, with Naruto. He was supposed to feel annoyed wasn't he? So why did he feel so relaxed? Things were really not making sense.

While Sasuke was sorting through his questions, Naruto had returned, pillow and blanket in hand. He threw them at, quite literally trying to hit, Sasuke., "G'night Sasuke."

All Naruto got in return was a mumbled "thanks".

TBC

And the editing continues, knowing me I'll stay up all night just to edit all of them. I want to just go ahead and get them up and see what y'all think of them. I must admit I'm actually happy with how they're changing. It's making me feel much better about my style of writing. It has WORDS, and descriptions, not all Dialogue, which I have a habit of making my stories nothing but. RAMBLING, yes I know.

Thanks again guys!
BTW you may say that the chapters seem to be missing one, but it's not, like I said, changing chapters, so I put 3 & 4 together, to make a super chapter… yeah yeah, shutting up.
