AUTHOR'S NOTES: Hello, hello! (Waves furiously at audience) Thanks for all the reviews! Now I know I'm loved. (Someone throws an apple at Brandi's head, which hits right on target) Then again... maybe I'm not loved. Oh by the way, I cannot be affected by the dreaded voodoo doll!!! As an author I must remember rabid readers will take my life if I'm not careful so of course I'm immune to the most common of threats! (Begins to madly laugh then falls into a toilet) Heh heh... Yeah, I'm immune to such trivial things... ( The toilet flushes and Brandi is sucked in)

DISCLAIMER: I claim I don't own Naruto

Naruto had arrived at Kakashi's house carrying his luggage as if it only weighed as much as a

piece of paper. Well the theory behind that was because his entire luggage was a piece of paper.

It was a torn up and gnarled looking black piece of laminated paper. Which half had melted on

to Naruto's arm leaving a few burn marks, which caused Kakashi to have to bandage that

wound up. Naruto sat on Kakashi's filthy little couch that appeared to be a love seat. Bread

crumbs where toppled among its cushions while gum wrappers, with chewed gum wrapped

inside, and other sticky objects had collected themselves on the arm rests. Kakashi was

somewhere in his own bedroom searching for the bandages he would need to wrap up Naruto's

arm and anything else that would help add pain to the little ninja's wounds. "Hey sensei! What's

with the love seat? Thinking of scoring some hot babes?" Naruto called out to his teacher.

Naruto heard a clunk from the other room followed by a curse and then saw his teacher's head

peering at him from around the bedroom door. "Yeah... I just might find one lying around here

somewhere you know? Who knows, one could be sitting on my couch at this very moment."

Kakashi said casually and Naruto kind of got a funny feeling in the pit of his stomach. You know

the feeling, the kind you get when you accidentally run into the bathroom and find someone

already on the toilet. Kakashi came out holding some bandages and, to Naruto's dismay, some

cold cream. "Two for one bargain, guess what? I found some cold cream! Aren't you just the

luckiest?" Kakashi asked with a hint of a smile behind his mask. What the hell, Naruto knew the

guy was having the time of his life torturing his current student. "I don't need that stuff!" Naruto

said defiantly while backing to the other side of the couch hiding his burnt arm behind himself.

"Come on now." Kakashi said advancing towards the golden haired ninja with a crazy glint in his

eyes. Or just a crazy glint in one of his eyes since Naruto couldn't gaze upon the sharigan eye.

The white haired shinobi bent over Naruto way to close for comfort. "Give me your arm or I'll

pull it straight of the socket that holds it in place." Kakashi commented dangerously while

Naruto gulped in fear. Naruto slowly released his arm and he could have sworn he saw a smile

under the older ninja's mask but still with that look of determination in his eye. Kakashi grabbed

his arm delicately and raised it to meet his eye level. Naruto did not like the way this was going.

For some reason Naruto got the impression that Kakashi had another motif in mind. "Now hold

still and this wont hurt...much." Kakashi covered the cream over his arm as fast as possible then

quickly bandaged it so fast it was over in the next second. All you had to do was blink at it was

finished. "Better?" he asked, certain of his handy work. "Yeah except, that hurt like hell!"

Naruto roared at the ninja who had suddenly disappeared into thin air as a pillow came

slamming at his face. "Touchy, touchy." Kakashi waved a finger at the growling boy. Naruto

looked at his red tinted arm, then he traced a finger down the bandages like a snake coiling

around his arm. "Now you have a temporary autograph from me and a great fashion since like

Rock Lee!" he announced in triumph that didn't really ring a happy note in Naruto's ears. "You

die now!" Naruto screamed and ran at him like a rabid beast but as soon as he made his way to

him the teacher had used his jutsu to vanish into the next room. Naruto growled and walked

back to the couch. "Hey, where am I sleeping?" Silence. "You don't know?" came the answer."

A bed I hope." Naruto seemed to be threatening more than stating. "hah hah...funny." Kakashi

laughed in his room, which had a faint glow of light coming from it. "IM NOT SLEEPING ON

A COUCH!" Naruto yelled. "You're a ninja, deal with it." Silence yet again filled the living

room wince Naruto had been in. "Naruto?" The man asked from his room and heard no reply.

"Don't make me get up and go look for you." Came his deadly threat. "Ugh, so lazy." Came

Kakashi's voice again. "Screw you." Kakashi called out. "Naruto...? Your still here right?"

Neither a breath nor a pin drop was heard under the loud thudding of the teacher's heart. The

beating grew louder, and louder, and louder... "Oh wait. That's not my heart beat." Kakashi just

realized before it was to late and an inhuman like creature flung itself out of the darkness. It

landed on the bed with large yellow glowing eyes and emitted a hiss from its lips that sounded

something like... "Give me the bed!" " AHHHHH!" Kakashi screamed as Naruto's teeth sunk

into his arm and to his dismay Naruto wouldn't let go. "Bad puppy!" Kakashi screamed as he

beat the boy over the head with his fist. Sometime in the night Sasuke had fallen into a peaceful

slumber. That was, until a loud knock was heard at the front door. Sasuke just mumbled a curse

then rolled over half awake. But the knock persisted with a bang at the door and a chime of the

bells. " Shut up!" Sasuke yelled at his visitor. Everything grew silent and Sasuke drifted back

into his sleep. Then, out of nowhere, a series of knocks and chimes rang through the black

haired boys brain leaving him nearly deaf. Sasuke got up from his bed and charged down the

stairs to the front door. Kakashi heard a series of locks being undone then saw the door open a

wee crack. "Uh, hey Sasuke? You know, I was kind of wondering if you would take care of

Naruto for a while. Since he and I aren't working out that well together." Sasuke flung the door

open expecting to see a golden haired god by the white haired one's side, but instead found a

boy on his shoulder squirming in all directions with his feet and hands bound together. "Sasuke?"

he heard come from a familiar pair of lips. "OI! This bastard won't share his bed!" Naruto

screamed uncanny like. "So you're dumping him off at my house?" Sasuke asked with a raise of

his brow. "Well, dumping is kind of a harsh word to use. I was thinking more around the lines of

leaving him at you're house." Kakashi suggested. "Same difference." Sasuke retorted as

Kakashi untied the rabid Naruto whom quickly leaped away from the teacher and behind

Sasuke for safety. "You be a good boy, you here?" Kakashi called out as he walked away

waving. Naruto stuck his tongue out at the shinobi. After Sasuke had closed the door behind

himself then turned back around half expecting to see the boy wandering around the house but

nearly had a heart attack when he found Naruto just standing there staring. "WHAT?!" Sasuke

asked a little to freaked out like. Naruto lifted his arm out to Sasuke and the black haired teen

looked uncertain of how to react. Naruto then lifted his other arm and pointed at the bandages.

"He used cold cream on me Sasuke! Cold cream!" The boy wined. "Do you know how much

that burned!" he cried out to the other boy. Sasuke looked awkward for a moment, as he had

mistaken the gesture for something else. " Whatever." Sasuke said toneless and shrugged his

shoulders to add effects to his could-care-less attitude. "Just don't wake me up okay?" Sasuke

seemingly hissed. "Hey don't worry, I won't disturb the princess's beauty slumber." Naruto

teased ignorantly as he always did. Sasuke gritted his teeth at the sudden challenge that had

occurred just now between the two for a word fight. "Better to be titled princess than peasant."

Sasuke calmly purred not wanting to loose the blonde boy's attention. Blue eyes fixed with his

brown eyes and so began the war. Sasuke smirked and Naruto frowned. "You can't even

handle a conversation let alone start one!" Naruto yelled. "I'm at least offered a conversation

unlike you." Sasuke shot back. Naruto growled and bit his lower lip trying to find something that

would help him out of his usual and most miserable defeat. "Well, I bet I could win Sakura over

in 5 days tops!" Naruto let out in desperation and Sasuke's lips widened into a large grin and

without thinking..." You're on." Sasuke let out. "But if I win..." Sasuke began. "You have to go

out with a date of my choice." Sasuke spoke in a whisper barely hearing wise. Naruto became a

little frightened at the thought of Sasuke choosing a date for him. "But if I win you have to stay

away from Sakura on a 0.5 mile radius!" Naruto quickly added in his reward. "Not like that will

ever happen." Sasuke chuckled aloud. ' This will be entertaining to watch.' Sasuke thought to

himself amused as Naruto chugged up the stairs apparently steaming in anger as Sasuke bowed

to him lightly as if mocking his very existence. When both where in separate rooms Sasuke soon

found he couldn't sleep. He found himself thinking uncontrollably about the strange bet he and

Naruto made. ' oh shit, what if he does win Sakura over?!' Sasuke thought in frustration. ' No,

no. Naruto may be cute but he sure isn't the brightest crayon in the box. Sakura would never fall

for him.' Sasuke found himself laughing at nothing. ' Well, I won't let Sakura fall for him even if

it means a restraining order.' Sasuke decided and then began to plot away until he fell

asleep. Naruto on the other hand was trembling in fear from the mistake he just realized. The

mistake he had made in making the bet. He had carved his own doom.

To be continued...?

Hello, hello! How was that? I think it could have been a load lot better but I tried making it slower paced. Sorry if the last chapter was very fast but I had a lot of good thoughts at once and was in one of those limited time creativity spouts. Guess it's gone... sniffle... Oh wells! I also am trying to figure out what in the name is a beta tester since someone mentioned that in the reviews I got and am trying to make the story easier to read. BUT MY COMPUTOR IS CRAP AND DOES NOT WANT ME TO HAVE ANYTHING EASY!!!!! Welp, fin for now! .
