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! .
