disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. In my own little world in my psyche,
maybe. But not in real life.
A/N: Thank you all for all the reviews! I'm probably not going to reply to them, but thank you all!!! I love you all!
On to other news, and answering some questions, no, there will not be any OC in this, probably cuz I'm too lazy and not creative enough to do that.
And yes, there will be a bit more kissing.
Pairings in This Chapter: SasuNaru
Ch.1!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Naruto was still touching his hand to his lips an hour after Sasuke had left him at his own apartment. The smile was ever present of his face, and he was seated on his bed, crossed legged, in deep thought.
His thoughts were basically all over the place. All of them were focused on Sasuke, and the resent kiss that he had given him.
Does he really like me? the blonde thought. But if he doesn't, what the hell was the kiss about?! Letting out a loud yawn, the young Uzumaki lie down on his bed, and fell asleep.
Outside, clouds started to gather above the large village of Konoha, and it began to rain.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The next morning, it continued to rain. The raindrops poured from the heavens as if the clouds themselves had been spitting at the earth, as if to mock it. A young girl was running through the droplets, desperately trying to make it home before she was completely drenched. Her feet splashed in the puddles on the ground, getting her legs and shoes wet. She was holding her knapsack above her head as a slight shield.
She made it home with everything but the top of her head wet. She dropped her bag to the floor and attempted to shake her hair dry. She removed her sandals and headed to her room.
Haruno Sakura was dead on her feet by the time she got to her bedroom. She flopped down on the bed and let out a long sigh.
The last mission had been killer on her physically. She was to escort an elderly lady and her grandson to the other side of the Fire Continent, and it had been a living hell. The lady had been a total hag, and her grandson had been no better. The only highlight had been the handsome father of the little boy, who had insisted that she stay for the night before heading back. And, like a proper lady, she had accepted, of course.
And of course, on her way back, it had to have started raining, totally drenching her tent, forcing her to walk the remaining 20 miles back to Konoha. She had walked all night, and finally got back at about 6AM. Where she was currently stretched out on her bed, falling asleep.
I'm supposed to report to the Hokage... she thought wearily. Oh well, I can do that later, when I wake up.... She rubbed at one of her eyes. And I should probably tell her about the two strange people I saw at the border....
With those thoughts, she fell asleep.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sasuke gazed solemnly out the window of the third floor of his large Uchiha mansion. The raindrops were making long, unfocused smears on the glass. He was trying to keep his mind clear of any thoughts, trying to be as tranquil as the rain.
A loud crash broke his concentration. He gazed up into the clouds and saw a long streak of lightning light up the sky.
"That's strange...." he mused aloud. "We don't usually get lightning here..."
He looked over to his side table and snuck a glance at his clock. Its slender arms said that it was nearly 3:00PM.
With his empty mind meditation now broken, Sasuke's thoughts were now free to wander. They wandered onto the subject of a certain blonde teenage boy he knew. A light pink covered his cheeks as he thought of the brief kiss he had given Naruto the previous night. It had been short, but sweet. The feelings he got from just that moment of contact was enough to send him into a spinning circle of thoughts.
Another crack of lightning broke the serene silence and Sasuke nearly flinched; the lightning was getting closer to the village...
A sudden thought crossed his mind. "Naruto doesn't like lightning..." The instant picture in his mind of a huddled Naruto, shivering on his bed sent feelings of worry throughout his entire body.
"I should go check on him."
Sasuke slowly stood up and grabbed his coat, fleetingly hoping that Naruto wasn't as he had pictured him.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the first crack of lightning, Uzumaki Naruto had nearly jumped out of his skin. His eyes had widened to an almost unnatural size, and he had dove almost headfirst into his bed, pulling the covers over his blonde head.
Naruto hated the fact that he was afraid of lightning. He didn't know why it scared him so much, it's just that whenever he heard it, he jumped up, or shivered involuntarily, or just simply jumped into bed. Probably because when he was younger, no one was there to let him know that it was fine, and that it was just noise. He always felt like he had to cuddle up to something during any kind of lightning storm.
Sasuke knew of his childish fear. The dark haired nin had found out on a mission about 2 years ago. They were staying in a hotel room overnight, due to a storm that was building outside. Naruto and Sasuke had been in the same room, and they had to share one queen sized bed. When the thunder and lightning started, Naruto grabbed onto the nearest thing he could find.
Which just happened to be Sasuke.
The dark haired shinobi had eyed him strangely, and Naruto was stuttering to explain himself. Another crash had obliterated his response, and he had clung to Sasuke for dear life. The other had sighed, and told Naruto that he could hang onto him as long as he needed to.
Yet, Naruto found it strange that Sasuke never teased him about that fact; the fact that he needed him in a moment of extreme fear, and that a real ninja wouldn't be afraid of thunder and lightning. The blonde shinobi had been grateful for this, but didn't know as to WHY the genius hadn't mentioned it at all.
Naruto nearly yelped when another crash of thunder broke the silence. He clamped his eyes shut and pulled the blankets more fully over his head. He opened his eyes into slits, and was greeted by pleasant darkness.
This is such a dumb fear.... he thought, his grip on the blankets tightening. I really need to get over it, and be a freakin' man!!
The blonde screamed when a knock came to his door. It was short, but loud. Whoever was at the door knew the fact that he was scared out of his wits.
His door had flown open at the scream, and Naruto had almost considered cowering in fear. He heard footsteps nearing his bed and he was about to fling the covers off and attack whoever had dared to come into the lair of the beast..!!! But he never got a chance before the blankets were basically ripped from his slack form. He covered his head with his hands and scrunched up in a ball.
"Naruto? What are you doing?"
Naruto snapped his eyes opened at the voice. It was the same irritated voice that he heard almost everyday....
"Sasuke!!" the blonde exclaimed. "You asshole!!! That was you at the door?!?" He pouted. "Why didn't you just say something??!"
Sasuke tried to hide his smirk; Naruto still had that same fear he had 2 years ago. He nearly right out chuckled, but his mask wouldn't let anything through. He idly sat down on the bed and smiled at the blonde, smirk fading.
"I just came over to see how you were," Sasuke said. "I know how much you hate thunder and lightning."
Naruto smiled back at him. "You came over just for me?" He cocked his head to the side. "Thank you!!" He flung himself into Sasuke, draping himself over the dark haired teen in a hug. He snuggled his head into the crook of Sasuke's neck, and basically purred.
Sasuke had nearly melted at the sound that the blonde boy had produced. It was an almost gentle purring, sort of rusty, like the kind you'd hear from old tomcats. The sound had vibrated into his shoulder and he found that he liked how it felt. He wrapped his arms around Naruto's back and gave the younger boy a slight squeeze. He breathed Naruto's scent in deeply; he still smelled like the ramen from previous night.
Pulling back, the blonde haired kitsune smiled at his companion, arms still hanging lightly from his neck. Sasuke returned the facial gesture, and leaned back in. He didn't lean in for a hug though; his face made a straight line for Naruto's own.
Naruto blushed as Sasuke's eyes started to droop. His face was drawing ever closer and Naruto didn't know half what to do. So, he just went with it, and leaned in slightly.
Lips met lips briefly and only slightly. Sasuke paused, expecting his blonde friend to scream at him and push him away, but when he got nothing of the kind, he pushed a little more. Naruto blushed again before closing his own eyes.
The kiss was chaste and sweet, but it didn't stay that way. Before either knew what was happening, Sasuke had pushed his tongue out of his mouth, and was demanding entrance to Naruto's sealed lips. Naruto had shakily opened them, and moaned aloud when Sasuke's warm tongue had met his own. The dark haired shinobi's hands trailed down Naruto sides suddenly, and Naruto had gasped; why didn't he know that such simple movements could feel so good?
The two broke apart, both gasping for breath. Naruto had a light pink blush on his checks and his eyes were clouded over. Sasuke's hands were still resting on the blonde's hip and waist. Their breath mingled.
"S-Sasuke...." Naruto muttered, still a little breathless. "Why... why did you...?"
Sasuke rubbed his face into the other's neck once again and smiled. "Because I think that I have fallen in love with you, Uzumaki Naruto." The blonde gasped.
"Really?!"
Sasuke chuckled, a warm look in his eyes. "Really."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The two teens talked for a long time afterwards. They talked about what they should do with their new relationship, how they should break it to everyone else, and most of all, if they were really serious about starting a relationship at their age. The conversation was heartfelt for both boys and they both decided that they wanted to be together. It was nearing 11:00PM by the time that Sasuke realized that he should get going home. With a promise that he'd see him tomorrow, and a brief kiss, the dark haired shinobi left.
Naruto had a smile that he thought would never go away. He had finally found the affection that he had been searching for all of his life, and now that he had it, he wasn't about to let it go very easily.
A squeal came from the small blonde; he felt like a girl in love! Naruto stopped himself mid-skip. Was it just him, or was he getting more and more gay as minutes went by?
"Oh, shut up!!" he said to his mind. "I'm am not acting like a gay person! Even though I technically AM one...."
A silence rung in Naruto's ears as he suddenly found himself staring at the door. He kind of wished that Sasuke would come back right now for a cuddle.....
As if answering his silent prayer, a knock came to his door. Nearly jumping for joy, the blonde bounded to the tall wooden door, and flung it open, half sure that if he pulled any harder, the door would have come off its hinges.
"Sasuke!!" Naruto cried in happiness. "Didn't you say that-"
He froze instantly as he got a good look at the person in front of him, and the smile faded from his face. Somehow, this scene seemed very familiar. As he looked up, Naruto's eyes met blood red ones, and he immediately felt tired. The man looked like Sasuke, but wasn't. There was something different. Could it have been the long, deeply etched scars that ran down from his piercing eyes? Or the long, black and red cloak that covered half of his face lightly?
Oh god... Naruto thought. I know who he is! How could I not have known?!
A pale hand reached foreword to Naruto's face, and the blonde boy flinched and took a step back. The tall man smirked as he saw the evident fear in the small teen's eyes.
"Uzumaki Naruto..." the tall man whispered. Naruto nearly jumped at the low baritone of the others voice. His eyes shone with an emotion that the blonde couldn't quite place. The man continued. "You will come with me...."
His hand snapped from his side onto Naruto's shoulder.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It only took a few minutes to get the blonde boy from struggling in his grip to laying unconscious on the floor. The dark man had grabbed Naruto by the shoulders, and quickly pulled a syringe out of the folds of his cloak. He had stuck it into the blonde boy's neck and emptied its contence into his bloodstream. He had released him to see the effects of the drug.
It only took a few moments for the blonde to start staggering about the room. This was another one of the wonderful drugs made by the dear sweet doctor. It would keep the boy sleeping for the next 24 hours.
The dark man slowly raised his hand to his mouth and blew on it; Naruto had bitten him. The blonde's sharp teeth had sent a long string of blood onto the floor, and Itachi sneered at it. No one could make him bleed. This was a sign that Naruto truly was going to be extremely useful in the future.
Silently, the dark man bent down to pick the boy off the floor, his long, dark hair falling over his shoulder. He had the small teen securely in his arms, before another figure had joined him in the room. He walked to the side of his partner, and looked questioningly at him.
"He fell a little fast, didn't he?" He looked at his partner straight in the face, a frown crossing his distinct features. "Itachi? Are you sure he's as strong as you think he is?"
Red eyes glared at the tall blue skinned man. "Of course he is," he snapped. "Now, get the bag. We don't want anything to go wrong with our exit of the village." He gazed down at the blonde in his arms. "We expect great things of you, Little One," he said.
To this, he got no reply, as Itachi's partner swung his massive sword around the room, once for good measure.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
