Oh my goodness:O My dad managed to get internet here at our place on the beach on his laptop. Awesome, j0! So here's a chapter… Not sure I like it, but... Leave me some criticism, eh:3 Maybe I'll replace it later if it keeps bugging me.
(DC/W: I don't own Naruto. This is a slash fic; male x male! Don't like it, don't read it!)
You make me feel...
Chapter 3: Worried.
"Yeah! Training today, finally!" Naruto threw an enthusiastic fist into the air, whooping. A few children in the street stared at him funny, but the blonde disregarded them. "I finally get to see Sasuke!"
He froze, arm still up in the air, vulpine grin still stuck on his face.
'...what?'
He leaned back, hands over his face. "I didn't mean that! I meant... I meant I get to fight him!" The kids in the street slowly edged away from the boy who was talking to himself.
'Oh, gawd, Sasuke, what are you doing to me..?' Naruto blushed, and looked at the pebbled ground. He couldn't deny the strong longing in his chest to see the dark boy. His raven hair, pale, soft skin, even those eyes that betrayed no emotion...
Naruto clenched his fist, and started running to the bridge his team always met on. Since when did his team mate cause such complicated emotions to control him..? Sasuke was missing, and he felt it. A cold loneliness in his heart... Why hadn't he felt compelled to see him all this time he'd been talking to Kiba, and so much?
'Come to think of it, Kiba's been acting strange...' the rushing blonde thought. He blushed, remembering the day before how Kiba had been so close... Almost as though he'd kiss him! Haha, what a strange...
"Hey Naruto, what are you running for?" a girl's voice said, and the blonde stopped, almost passing right by there meeting place.
"Ah, Sakura!" He turned and bowed a small greeting. "Good morning." Sakura frowned at him.
"Have you seen Sasuke? He's usually early..." She flipped her pink hair behind her shoulder, green eyes searching up and down the path and bridge. Obviously she wasn't truly concerned with Naruto, but with Sasuke's whereabouts.
Naruto crossed his arms, his blue eyes starting to fire up with anger. What did this girl think she liked about Sasuke? Does she know his habits? Did she know anything about him?
"Ohh, I want to ask him on a date today!" She clutched her hands together, and held them over her heart. "Oh, Sasuke..."
The blonde was getting too enraged by the girl's behavior to think about how he never got angry before at her saying such things. 'What the hell is she saying! Sasuke doesn't even like her! He would never! Besides, I won't let her have Sasuke!'
The blonde was startled at his sudden possessiveness. 'Err... What!' He shook his head violently, face bathed in a red blush. 'Oh, no, this isn't happening...'
"I loveeee Sasuke!" she chirped, hugging herself, looking too giddy to be sane.
And just as Naruto was about to snap, Kakashi appeared.
"Ara! Where is Sasuke-kun?" he said in is usual, sing-song voice.
Naruto stomped his foot, looking at Kakashi with a demonic glare, canine teeth flashing with his sneer. Kakashi raised an unseen eyebrow, and looked at him quizzically. Naruto growled softly, then crossed his arms again, turning his back to the sensei.
"My, my, someone's not in a good mood," Kakashi mused to Sakura's ear.
"Really? Who?" Sakura had just snapped out of a daydream. Kakashi nodded towards Naruto, who had a black, imaginary cloud of moodiness over his head. Sakura stared, then shrugged, returning to her daydreams.
Kakashi sighed. 'Only thinking of Sasuke, huh...' He walked over to Naruto, placing a hand on his shoulder. 'I guess that makes two of them.' Kakashi cleared his throat, "Naruto-kun, what's wrong?" Naruto, still in a fully-capable-of-snapping-mood, turned on him.
"I'm tired of... Of people talking about Sasuke! And I don't know why, so it makes me angrier!" he whispered in his fury. He didn't understand his sudden trust in the teacher, but right now, he didn't care. "No one really knows him..! It disgusts me!" Naruto blushed furiously, then looked down. "Sasuke is... he's..." The blonde thought for a moment. He's what?
Kakashi smiled behind his mask.
"Why don't you go check up on him? I'm pretty sure he's at home... I heard from a friend he's sick, actually.
Imaginary fox ears popped from the spiky, golden mess of Naruto's head, folding downward in worry. "He... he is?" Kakashi nodded, and still smiling, pet the youth's head.
"Training's cancelled for today... See you in two days, Naruto-kun." After a quick word with Sakura, he disappeared, and Sakura headed home disappointedly after waving goodbye to Naruto.
"That idiot..! What's he going and getting sick for!" Though as he rushed through the streets once more, the vulpine boy hoped that Sasuke was okay, and was happy to know he'd at least get to see him.
'What if he... he didn't miss me as much as... as I do?' he thought shyly, and a bit sadly, even. 'I guess I'll found out soon, huh..?'
Well... There it was. o.o I'll try to start making my chapters longer for you guys! I need to get this thing moving along… I don't like the progress... But I continue, for you few fans. :love:
