Chapter 2
Note: Italics is a flashback :)
"Sasukeeee…. Pleassseeeee!"
Naruto stretched out his arm, stood on his tippy-toes, and jumped trying to get maximum height. But no, he was still too short and couldn't reach the clenched hand being waved just centimeters from his grasp.
"Plleeeaaassseeeeeee" He whined.
Sasuke smirked and stepped back, putting a table between the two of them. Naruto groaned, not quite sure what to do. Sasuke lowered his hand, and opened it, giving a glimpse of what was confined there. There was a flash of turquoise as the item was lightly tossed in the air, before being caught.
"You want it?"
Once again he tossed it and caught it, as Naruto's eyes followed the object. While waiting for Naruto's answer, he tossed it one more time. Seeing this, Naruto took his chance and using all his speed and agility bolted around the table attempting to catch it before Sasuke did. There was an audible snap before Sasuke hand was once again raised above his head, tightly clenched around his leverage.
Naruto moaned in defeat. "Nn…Yes….Give it to me."
Naruto's voice had changed from whining to pleading, and he now sounded desperate. Naruto gazed longingly at the hand in the air. It was his, and he wanted it back. Force hadn't worked, whining hadn't work, so maybe pleading would. Kami-sama knew Sasuke was a sick bastard.
The object of the boys fight would not seem like such a big deal to anyone else, but it meant a lot to Naruto. Yesterday had been his eighteenth birthday, which coincidentally coincided (AN: Wow… alliteration!) with his graduating to jounin level. Iruka, because it was such a special occasion, had given him a present. Oh sure, he usually gave Naruto presents for his birthday. Clothes, ramen, or maybe a new kunai. But this time he gave him something truly special. In fact, he'd had it especially made for the new blonde jounin. It was a wish stone.
Iruka passed a paper wrapped package to the boy before him, smiling happily.
"Happy Birthday Naruto! I'm so proud of you!" The eyes crinkled closed with happiness, before opening again to watch Naruto's reaction. The package sat on Naruto's hand, around the size of his palm. It was rather heavy for something of such a small size, and Naruto stared blankly at the pale blue tissue paper wrapping it, pondering what it could be.
"Well… aren't you going to open it?" Iruka grinned again as Naruto started out of his daze and eagerly tore into it.
The tissue paper gone, revealed a rather flat oval shaped stone, polished well so that the surface was perfectly smooth. It was a strange colour, which seemed to change between green and blue as he tilted it. Engraved on the surface in silver was the kanji for fox. Naruto lightly ran his thumb over the word, not feeling the slightest surface difference. Curious, he turned it over. Upon the other side was the kanji for Dolphin. Naruto smiled.
"It's beautiful." He said softly. Iruka had to strain his ears to hear it, it was so quiet. He'd never heard Naruto talk so softly before, and he knew the boy meant it with all his heart. He'd just opened his mouth to explain what it was, when Naruto pounced on him, wrapping his arms around the chunin and squeezing with all his might.
"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou soooooo much Iruka-sensei! It's the best present EVER! Better than Ramen!"
Iruka laughed, hugging the boy back, and lightly ruffled his hair.
"I'm glad, but you don't even know what it is yet." He smiled sweetly at the boy before disentangling his arms.
"Oh sorry." Naruto smiled bashfully, before stepping back and giving Iruka space.
"It's a wish stone."
"A wish stone?"
"Yes. You hold it while whishing, and it's meant to help you achieve your dream." Iruka paused and smiled at the boy looking eagerly up at him. "But that's not the only reason I gave it to you."
A look of seriousness crossed Naruto's face, as he ran his thumb over both words, flipping it back and forth.
"Yes, it's because of those words. Usually a message, or symbol, something that represents the owner is engraved upon it. Hence the fox in your case."
Naruto looked curiously at the word dolphin, which was at the moment facing upwards.
"Then why dolphin?"
Iruka smiled. "It's to remind you of me, and show you how proud of you I am. You've come such a long way. But most importantly it's to tell you that no matter what I'll always be here for you. It's my message to you telling you that you're one of my precious people, and I'll love you always."
Tears filled Naruto's eyes as he gazed up at his old sensei. Iruka once again smiled as tears filled his own eyes.
"No matter how much of an idiot you are sometimes."
"Aiiiyaa!"
Naruto squeeled before pouncing on Iruka again, laughing, crying and hugging him in an attempt to express his happiness.
The soft words were muffled as Naruto's face was still buried in Iruka's chest, but he still heard it and felt it deep within his heart.
"I love you too, Iruka-sensei."
Awww... Iruka Naruto fluffiness :) This whole story was inspired by a wish stone I got :) Not nearly as good as Naruto's, but still :) Next Chapter...the end of the time with Sasuke. You'll find out what he gives Naruto for his birthday :) To the things about length... This story is kinda like a oneshot, split into 3 parts. So yes, the parts are short :)
