Yaoilover S, more action will come, very soon.

Hogo-chan, no problem, I'm lazy too, that's why I haven't emailed you yet, I'm too lazy to. Neh… Anyways, Sasuke's acting cold when he likes Naruto because he thinks Naruto hates him, because that's how Naruto's acting. And he was too busy thinking about his throbbing dick to notice Naruto crying, besides, haven't you ever heard of "silent" crying? And I'll write, someday…hehe…

Tamara2187, it's not that big of a deal, because like all un-angst fics, the stupid misunderstandings always work out in the end.

Ghostninja85, I mostly relay on my author alerts too, but I sometimes go and read others…when I'm checking to see if my story is still on the first page :P

Hehe…my long review lecture again! When I last checked, there were 34 people who have me on author alert. Yet, when I check the number of reviews I have, there is only about 8 per chapter. This is not a lot. I mean, it's understandable if I have 8 people who have me on author alert and 8 people who review, but that's not the case. You 26 people who don't review, I don't get why you don't! I mean, it doesn't take long. If you are a fanfiction writer as well – which I'm pretty sure you are if you have an account – then you should know how good reviews make you feel. When you guys don't review, it's like there's no motivation. And I know that sometimes people are too lazy, but I'm not asking for multi-page essays, I just want a simple one word review. Anything's fine. Unlike at school, it's the amount that counts, not the content. So review, and it will make me feel sooooooo much better about myself and my story. Please. I'm asking nicely! :D

Also, I want people to know that I rewrote chapter one, so go and reread it, because it's waaaaaaay better! Oh, and if you didn't review for chapter one, review it now :D It's still not awesome though, I might re-rewrite it again some day. Hehe…

List of Fame:

Many thanks to Yaoilover S, hogo-chan, Tamara2187, ghostninja85, chichi167, and Kanemoshi for reviewing. Oh wait, I think Rurouni Linda reviewed too. I'm not sure, because it's for chapter 3, but I think I remember her reviewing after I wrote chapter 4. Oh well…

Chapter 5: Accident

Sasuke's POV

I looked around the class, searching for Naruto. Where is he? Is he mad at me? Maybe I shouldn't have done that yesterday… I sighed. I hope he's not too angry with me, I don't think I can stand it if he hates me even more than he already does…

The class room door opened. 'Is it Naruto?' My heart beat faster, hoping that it was. But it was just Shikamaru.

Shikamaru walked towards me and stopped in front of my desk, "Yo Sasuke."

"What do you want?" I ask, annoyed.

"…"

"Well?"

"I need to talk to you."

"No."

"It's important."

"I said no!"

"It's about Naruto."

"…" 'Naruto?'

"…"

"What about him?"

Shikamaru looked around, "Let's talk outside."

"Why can't we talk here?" I ask, narrowing my eyes.

"Just come."

I grunt, but got up and followed Shikamaru anyways.

When we arrived outside the classroom, Shikamaru smashed me against the wall and looked me straight in the eyes, "What did you do?"

I didn't say anything.

"What did you do?" Shikamaru repeated himself, his grip on my shoulder tightening.

"I…" I didn't know how to tell him.

"TELL ME!!!" Shikamaru said, slamming me hard against the lockers.

I cry out in pain and push him away, "Why do you want to know?"

"Because Naruto came to my house crying!"

'Crying?' "Did he say why?"

"If he did, why would I be asking you?" He was annoyed, I could tell.

"I didn't think that he'd cry." I said softly.

"Well he did! What did you do?"

"That's none of your business! What happens between us stays between us!"

"Fine. But whatever you did, Naruto was very upset."

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

"I'm not the one you should be apologizing to." Shikamaru said, and began to walk away.

"No wait!"

Shikamaru turned around, "What?"

"Do you know where Naruto is?"

"I think he went to the park."

"Thanks."

I stood there for a while, thinking over what he said. 'Did my kiss really affect Naruto that much?' He hated me so much, why would he cry over something like that?(1)

All of the sudden, I break into a run(2). 'Naruto!'

Meanwhile…

At a rundown playground, sits a swing made of a broken tire; old, patched, and deflated. Sitting beside it, is a broken pipe; covered with rust and dirt. This was Naruto's sanctuary, a place where he can go to sort out his feelings. Before, he came here when the beatings got too bad, and when the pain brought back memories, memories he wished he could forget. But this time, there were no physical pains, just the everlasting emotional one. One that he fought to get rid of, but never could. One that he wished would just disappear.

Naruto sat on the old swing, hanging from an old oak tree. He liked this place, because it reminded him of himself. The place was, unwanted, unappreciated, and abused, but yet it continues to exist, like an old pine left standing in the middle of a lighting storm, surrounded by millions upon millions of fallen trees. But now, Naruto feels like he was breaking, his shell cracking, his mask falling apart.

Every time you come
It cracks a little more
Piece by piece it falls away
Till its there no more

Gone's my smile of happiness
Replaced by something new
Showing how I feel inside
My feelings shinning through

I look into the mirror
To see my happy face
But all I see staring back at me
Is my heart without the lace

Without the fancy wrappings
without the perfect smile
the only thing that I can see
is sadness and denial

you've shown me not to be afraid
and show off my true side
so the pieces just break away
washed off into the tide

Naruto's POV

Why did he do that? Why did he have to kiss me, and make me so confused? Why couldn't he just leave me alone? I know he was just using me, and laughing at how naïve I was, but I can't help but feel happy when he did that. And I felt so peaceful in his embrace, I wished that that moment could go on forever…

I heard car tires screech, and doors slamming, followed by worried and panicked voices. I listen harder, trying to figure out what the problem was, and was greeted by the sounds of sirens. My heart began beating faster, 'what happened?' I wondered. 'Did someone get hurt?'

I jumped off of the swing and ran towards the scene of the accident. When I arrived, I saw someone being placed on a stretcher, but I didn't know who it was. I tried asking people around me, but they just all looked at me with hatred. I try to rush forward to see who it was, but I was just pushed back. Suddenly, I spot Gaara, whose eyes were glowing violet, like it was whenever he…

TBC…

(1) Sasuke's really dense neh? ::shakes head:: I don't believe him! See, I wanted to make him un-dense, but it would ruin the story. If everyone was logical, there would be no fun in this :D

(2) You know how in anime, they stay there, like they're in shock or something, and then they just start running, with tears flowing in the wind? Well, this is just like that, except no tears.

If the poems don't match, don't blame me, just skip them, because I wrote them before, and I'm just trying to incorporate them into the story :P

MWAHAHAHAHA!!! I left not one, but two cliffies in one chapter!!! Aren't I smart and evil? HAHAHAHAHA!!! Now the only way you can find out who is in the stretcher and what Gaara really is is by reviewing!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!! So read my nice little review lecture, listen to its advice, and review!
