Chapter 7: Potion Motion

Sasuke's eyes fluttered open. The bright rays of the sun shined through his bedroom window, still slightly hurting his eyes. Squeezing them shut only to open them wide again, he reached up and rubbed his eyes free of the sleep that still sealed them shut. Sasuke, as he awoke, suddenly realized the hand on his chest and the extra warmth along his right side. Memories of the previous night washed over him, and looking down onto a mop of golden locks, he let show a rare smile.

Unfortunate for Sasuke, he had to awake the sleeping beauty... He had a meeting with Orochimaru, the castle advisor and magician, and to Sasuke; the worst thing to happen to the world.

Sasuke gently removed himself from the two small arms that held him and gave a small frown as he saw the disappointment from the lack of warmth spread across the blonds face.

"Sasu...ke--" Naruto's eyes fluttered open and he yawned, "Where're you going?"

Sasuke slipped on his robe and turned towards the youth.

"I'll be back soon," He leaned down and gave his love a soft kiss on the forehead. 1

Naruto, seeming content with this answer, curled up into a ball and wore a soft smile on his face. Sasuke took in one last moment of the younger boy before going into his dressing chamber 2. He wore his usual attire and started towards the stairs leading down to the main floor.

Just thinking of his destination made his stomach turn...

Orochimaru was most positively the worst thing to have walked this planet 3. His sickening gray skin and yellow eyes made one want to vomit 3. The was his snake like fingers would curl as he spoke or the way his eyes would turn into reptilian slits. His long, thin lips and long, black hair made him seem worn. He was thin and seemed fragile but his eyes gave a different story. He often wore black clothing; robes suited him.

Sasuke reached the door. It was black, the corner it hid itself in was dark, and everything about it made Sasuke want to turn around and leave. Just walk away and not return. Perhaps it was the cold that surrounded this area... perhaps it was the cold that lay within it. Either way, Sasuke really had to tell Itachi to fire Orochimaru... Sasuke lifted his fist and knocked on the old oak door.

"Come in," Hissed a voice from behind the door.

Sasuke obeyed and took the cold handle. Just the mere click of the door opening made him cringe. He opened the door wide and the darkness of the room welcomed him. Only the faint glow of mysterious potions or the dim candles on the wall gave Sasuke light to see by. He swore that Orochimaru could see in the dark... he was, after all, a bloodsucker... 4.

Then Sasuke saw him. The person he despised the most in the entire world. Orochimaru stood mixing two potions together. One was a light blue, the other was clear. As he mixed them, they became a slivery-red, then crimson. Sasuke watched closely as Orochimaru mixed the potions before sitting himself in a black velvet chair that he usually sat at. When Orochimaru stopped mixing the potions, he looked at each one carefully, then while setting them back down into their holders he began to speak.

"So nice to see you again Sasuke... I rarely see you wandering around this area of the palace anymore. Have I scared you off?" Orochimaru said with a grin and a hint of sarcasm.

Sasuke could only grunt in response. Just talking to Orochimaru made Sasuke sick. Orochimaru glanced over the potions he had out on the table once more before fully turning to face Sasuke. The grin on his face made Sasuke's stomach turn. Orochimaru made his way over to Sasuke and sat himself across from the younger boy. The grin on his face was gone, now only a faint smirk could be seen. He knew that Sasuke hated coming here... and he loved to torture the boy. He held out his hand, the usual procedure, and Sasuke had to comply by forcing his hand to move to Orochimaru's. Orochimaru took Sasuke's hand and faced the palm up. Moving Sasuke's palm closer to a light source, he moved it back a forth looking over the lines and marks in the palm.

"I can see that something has been improving your mood, Sasuke..." Orochimaru's thick tongue seemed to drag out his S's like that of a snake.

Sasuke only gave a slight shrug, "Perhaps." He grunted.

"Could it be... this Naruto? I've heard so much about him already from your older brother... and he just came yesterday I heard! Imagine that..." Orochimaru's smirk twisted into a sick grin, "I suppose he'll have to have his check-up today sometime then?"

Sasuke snapped away his hand. Sasuke knew that Orochimaru, being the only doctor in their house would have to give Naruto a check-up to make sure he was fit for living in such a place.

'Maybe a bit too late...' Sasuke thought with a mental grin.

Orochimaru sighed as Sasuke snapped back his hand.

"Don't be stubborn Sasuke... you know I'd never intentionally hurt anyone..."

Sasuke swore he heard sarcasm dripping from every word.

"Come now, give me your arm."

Sasuke rolled his eyes and gave Orochimaru his right forearm. Orochimaru placed two fingers on Sasuke's forearm just above where one's pulse could be found. Orochimaru's eyes closed and he stayed like that for a good minute and a half. Opening his eyes he gave Sasuke another snake-like smile.

"You seem to be doing well. That is all I need for today."

Sasuke nodded and quickly rose from his chair. He felt Orochimaru's eyes on him the entire time he walked out of the room.

xoxoxo

Naruto was sitting back in the window seat in Sasuke room. He wore plain pants and was hugging a pillow to his chest with his knees and looking down outside the window to the land below. The forest looked beautiful from above, but Naruto knew how beautiful it looked inside of it too. Naruto remembered all the things he used to do in the forest. When he hid in the trees taking long naps, or went swimming in the cool river on hot days. Everything seemed so close to him, yet so far away. It was then that he feared never seeing the forest again.

He was so caught up in his fears he didn't hear the door click open. Only when he heard a voice did his thoughts snap back to reality.

"You're awake." Sasuke stated.

Naruto looked over and smiled to the older boy, nodding slightly.

Sasuke, though only knowing Naruto for about a day, was able to see through a mask Naruto had obviously been wearing. Sasuke sat next to Naruto on the seat and looked into Naruto's eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"Huh? Nothing's wrong." Naruto said giving a half-hearted smile.

Sasuke's eyes were doubtful though, "You can tell me..."

When Naruto didn't reply right away, but only turned to glace out the window, Sasuke's heart slightly sank. He wanted Naruto to trust him.

"I'm not sure..." Naruto looked back at Sasuke, "I just... miss someone."

Sasuke's heart flickered with jealously. Perhaps Naruto had someone else?

"Who?" Sasuke asked, keeping the emotion in his thoughts out of his voice.

"An old friend. Can we visit her tomorrow?"

'Her...?' Sasuke began to dread something.

"Where is she?"

"The forest..." Naruto answered.

Now it was Sasuke's turn to glance out the window. When Naruto saw the doubt in Sasuke's eyes he knew his fear may come reality.

"Please Sasuke! We won't have to stay long. I-I want you to meet her..." Naruto's gaze shifted downwards.

Sasuke's heart melted at the site, and even though he wouldn't admit, he felt himself hit bottom. He would do anything to see Naruto smile...

"Of course we can," Sasuke said with a soft smile.

Naruto's gaze lifted to meet Sasuke's and his eyes were ten times brighter. A new happiness came to him. And Sasuke was dead jealous.

End Chapter Seven:

Hm... I wonder who this her Naruto speaks of is... ne??? Maybe I'll give a cookie to someone if they guess right :)

Well? You like, dislike? Please review! All comments welcomed :3...

1 Erm... this is slightly OOC... ok... maybe a lot more than just slightly... but I think that if Sasuke and Naruto were to ever get together that Sasuke would be more open (at least when he and Naruto are alone) and not like he usually is.

2 I have not one f-ing clue what a dressing chamber is... but he has one anyway. I think I kinda want it to be like, just, a giant closet that's big enough to change in or something.

3 I don't really hate Orochimaru that much... I kinda dislike him because of what he

tries to do to Sasuke/Naruto (mainly Sasuke) in the manga but all this negative energy towards him is supposed to be coming from Sasuke... yeah.

4 Orochimaru is not a literal bloodsucker... he just acts like one... to Sasuke at least.

THANK YOU MY REVIEWERS! I LOVE YOU ALL TIMES INFINITY PLUS ONE!!
