Deep blue eyes slowly opened. Naruto blinked twice and groaned at the dull pain in his back. He sat up and glared over his shoulder at the sink he had been leaning against. A throbbing wound on his wrist glared in a angry crimson up at him from where it lay across his legs.

"Shit..how long was I asleep?" He asked himself as he forced himself to his feet. Stretching his cramped legs, the blonde made his way out of the bedroom, momentarily ignoring the job of cleaning the dried blood from around his fresh wounds. Naruto padded into the kitchen and blinked blearily at the clock.

"NINE!OH NO!"Naruto skidded back down the hallway and into the bathroom, staring at the orange jump suit he had removed to punish his body. -Everythings covered in blood. I don't have time!What am I going to wear-

He looked down at himself and raised an eyebrow, allowing a small smile to grace his pale lips.-Ah yes, I'll go in my boxers. Sakura-chan will surely fall for me then.-He chuckled sarcastically.

Puffing, Naruto then jogged down the hall to his bedroom and began a frantic search of his closet." I never buy any clothes!I don't need any more clothes!"He grumbled to himself amongst a flurry of boxers, sox, goggles, and random ramen cups. Finally, in the back of a closet, in all its dark shininess(dont ask-.-;)lay a black outfit that looked like it had fallen off of the hanger when he had been cleaning out his closet.

"Wow..I didn't know I had such a great taste of style." He blinked as he held up the shirt and the pants dangling from the hanger.

The black pants were covered in various buckles and were around two to three sizes too big. The shirt had crisscrossing straps across the chest with long sleeves that ended with a slit, meant for his middle finger. Naruto eyed them dubiously before cautiously removing it from the hanger.

"Well..Kakashi sensei did say it was 'night training'.."With that in mind he threw on the clothes, trying to ignore the way the shirt hugged his chest. What he couldn't ignore, was the fact that the pants wouldn't stay on his hips. "Belt belt belt.." He finally found one, an old brown belt that he quickly buckled around his pants. The blonde stopped in front of the mirror on his way out of his room.

Woah..-A slim boy with elfin features gazed back at him. Blonde hair that was mussed from sleep hung over his eyes from going a few months without a haircut. The tight black shirt hugged a slim yet muscular chest and stomach, and revealed some flesh just before a dark brown belt held up baggy pants around a slim waist.-I look like Im going to a funeral..for a rock star.-.-

"Well..since its probably going to freak them out anyways..might as well.."He glanced regretfully at the clock before rushing back into the bloodstained bathroom. He lined his eyes with black eyeliner ( Used when in his Sexy No Jutsu) and spread some around his lids. Naruto smirked at his reflection before zooming down the hall and out the door, not bothering to lock it behind him.

The sun had already set, and the streetlamps glowed a dull orangish yellow, barely lighting the darkened streets. Naruto eyed the shadows cautiously, years of habit reminding him how dangerous it was to be the Kyubi holder out on Konoha's streets at night, when the sleaze bags weren't afraid to torture and kill in the middle of the streets since there were none to witness.

The blonde plastered a smile on his face as he came to the bridge, squinting slightly as he tried to make out his teammates figures in the darkness.

"Sakura chaaannn.."He called softly, body tensing as he heard a rustle in the bushes beside the bridge."Sasuke?"

"Dobe.."Sasuke muttered coldy, walking past him, but the blonde blinked as he noticed Sasuke's eyes traveling up his form.

He obviously hasn't forgiven me for earlier...bastard.-"Why do you always have to get here when I do..?"Naruto grumbled, following Sasuke to lean against the railing.

"I don't. I was here since seven. I just felt like watching you piss yourself like the three year old you are."His teammate smirked.

"Grrr.."

"Is Sakura here yet?"

A spark of something deep inside the blonde made him blink in bewilderment before looking away from the piercing black gaze."I don't know, teme. You were here first."He shifted uncomfortably.-Im jealous..but only because Sakura-chan is mine- Blue met black.

"I...Sasuke.."

"Hn?"

"Do you..hate me?"

Sasuke sighed in exasperation."Dobe."

"HEY!I was being serious!"Naruto shouted angrily.

Sasuke looked away, suddenly intent on studying the wooden planks of the bridge."Why do you care?"

"I just wanna know!Tell me!"

"Why should I?"

"Bastard!"

"Baka."

"Teme!"

"Dobe."

"I-"

"No."

"What?"Naruto blinked.

"No, I don't hate you idiot. And I don't know why you're asking such a stupid question. Why can't you shut up for one minute?"Sasuke grumbled.

The blonde flushed at Sasuke's admission and searched for something to say in response. "..Teme.."

The brunette rolled his eyes and snickered, once again eyeing his figure.

A silence fell between them.

"Do you think Sakura hates me?"

"Stop asking me stupid questions. Besides...how should I know?"

The blonde fidgeted, trying to avoid the curious gaze."Be-because you..like Sakura-chan.."

"And when did I say that?" Sasuke growled.

"You don't like her?"-That's not hope in my voice that's not hope in my voice.-

"I like her as a friend. That's it. Both you and her are alike, so annoying and loud."

Naruto felt something drop in the pit of his stomach, but he ignored it and smiled."Yeah, maybe if I tell her that we're alike she'll finally go out with me!"

"I don't want to talk about such stupid things. Besides..haven't you ever heard that opposites attract?"Sasuke murmured.

"What?"Naruto blinked, squinting at Sasuke as he made out what seemed to be a rosy tint on the nin's pale cheeks.

"Just shut up dobe. What's taking them so long?"

"Meh..if they don't get here soon Im going to go home.."The blonde's voice slowly dropped in volume, body drooping as he remember the blood and the razor and the..

"Yo."A light pop sounded beside them, causing both teammates to jump.

"You're LATE!"Naruto cried, pointing an accusing finger.

Kakashi sweatdropped and eyed the blonde."Nice choice of clothes."

The blonde flushed, glaring at his sensei, "Are you going to teach us secret ninja techniques or not?"

"Well..I wouldn't say they're secret..but Im sure you'll like the training tonight all the same."Kakashi smiled secretively and strode off the bridge and down the path into the woods.

Sasuke crossed his arms over his chest and glared expectantly at the blonde. Naruto stuck his tongue out at the ice prince and skipped down the path after Kakashi.

"Dobe.."

"Kakashi sensei!"Naruto shouted, panting as he tried to keep up with Kakashi.

"Hm?"

"Why aren't we waiting for Sakura-chan?"

"She's sick."Kakashi replied curtly.

Naruto eyed his teacher suspiciously but shrugged it off, folding his arms behind his head and grimacing when the tight black shirt slid up his waist to reveal his stomach. He muttered and ignored it, glancing over his shoulder at Sasuke. The blonde quickly tugged the shirt back down over his stomach, covering the seal of the Kyubi sealed inside him.

Sasuke was watching the trees on the side of the path, seemingly lost in thought as he trailed behind. Naruto briefly considered throwing a rock at him just to see if he could hit him, then dismissed it as he saw a small smile tugging at the corner of the brunette nin's mouth.

"This will do." Kakashi commented, eye curving into a smile and he turned to them.

Naruto glanced around and sweatdropped,"Where are we?"

"Exactly. I have no clue."

"EH!"Naruto screamed, waving his arms around.

"We're on a path, dobe."Sasuke muttered.

"Wha..oh.." The blonde huffed and looked put out.

"Well..there's a path but I've never been down here before.And I'm pretty sure neither have you two. So this will be the perfect spot."The silver shadow of Kakashi shifted slightly, then disappeared.

"Kakashi sen-" A hand slipped over his mouth and another around his waist, trapping him against a body. The blonde shivered in startlement and fear, eyes rolling as he tried to see his attacker.Alls he saw was black shadows around his mouth.-What is it-

Then as suddenly as the shadow came, it was gone. Sasuke stood in its place, eyes darting as his mouth curled into a feral growl. He stood over Naruto as the blonde shook himself out of his musings.

"Idiot, what are you doing?Get up!"

"But..Kakashi sensei. Isn't it Kakashi sensei!"Naruto said.

Sasuke frowned,"Im not sure, we won't take any chances.Get up."

Naruto got to his feet and stumbled in startlement when the earth suddenly flared with red and then everything was outlined in rainbow.-Heat?..Kyubi-A rumble in the back of his mind made him smile slightly.

He relaxed and straightened,"Sasuke, can you see?"

Sasuke squinted at him and grimaced,"No, why?"

"Try activating your Sharigan and see if you can use heat sensory."Naruto suggested.

The dark haired nin closed his eyes for a moment, then looked at Naruto with wheels lazily turning in his eyes."I can see you." He said in slight amazement. Then to cover it up he scowled and leapt into the trees."Lets go.Split up."

Naruto opened his mouth to call after Sasuke but stopped as from the corner of his eye he spotted a flare of yellow along with the other bright colors, seeming to scream out at him. The Kyubi holder leapt back, kunai balanced in palm as he smirked ferally, fangs extending some.

The shadow seemed taken aback as it took in the red glow of his eyes as it followed its every move.

Tensing, the blonde used his chakra to grip the ground as he sped forward then twisted tightly to dropkick the dark form. The shadow twisted away into the trees in a whisplike motion.

"Damn."Naruto cursed, realizing it was heading in the direction Sasuke had just gone.

His fingernails extended, giving way to toughed more calloused nails that gripped the bark tightly as he leapt through the trees after the rapidly disappearing shadow.

"Get back here, coward!"

There was cursing ahead as the shadow suddenly dropped down from the trees onto the unsuspecting Sasuke. Sasuke and shadows rolled, the dark haired nins wrist being held by the shadows to prevent Sasuke from stabbing him with the kunai gripped in his fist.

Sasuke blinked as the kunai was turned in his grip to face his own neck, and the kunai dove for the exposed flesh. Naruto quickly leapt between Sasuke and the kunai, crouched over him on his palms and toes as he held the kunai between his teeth. A low rumble started from deep down in his chest and made it to his throat before Naruto ripped the kunai from the shadows grip, turning his head to the side and releasing it.

He turned back to attack the shadow, but blinked as he saw Kakashi straightening with a grin on his face.

"Well done."

"Kakashi sensei!How-..how did you do that!"

"Hehe..wouldn't you like to know."

Naruto twitched, eyes slowly dulling back to a deep blue as his fingernails slowly shortened along with his canines. He flushed as he looked down at Sasuke who was underneath him and staring at him with his pale lips forming a 'O' of surprise with a light flush on his cheeks. The blonde found himself disappointed as his vision slowly faded to normal, leaving it too dark to read his teammates expression anymore.

"Get..off of me."Sasuke commanded in a weak voice.

Naruto scrambled to his feet, feeling blindly for a tree or something to lean against. He stumbled and fell over, caught by Kakashi.

Sounding amused, his teacher snickered,"Well, looks like this lesson was quite eventful. Interesting..you can both see in the dark.I think its better that Sakura didn't come."

"Hey-"

"Shutup dobe." Sasuke stood, dusting himself off.

Naruto puffed out his cheeks and frowned before pulling down his dark sleeves and folding his arms over his chest to help keep out the cold."Well, Im going back then."

"Bye."Kakashi whispered, then was gone again.

Sasuke and Naruto stood in uncomfortable silence, before the blonde stepped forward and stumbled again. Sasuke gripped his arm and muttered,"Geez, idiot. You're blind as a bat."

The two made their way towards Naruto's house.

Meh..see!The chapter is longer ;And more..better than the last one-.-; reviews pleaaaseee..;-;

Oh!I have a beta reader!I didn't give this chapter to be checked yet, I wanted to post it before I sent it to be checked, and then I might repost it if any errors are corrected. But from now on Im having my beta reader check them first..I just wanted you to know so you could tell me if you see the difference.

And to Kit, a reviewer, I dont have your profile . Otherwise I would read all your stories! Hun, I have no talent at all..I keep on getting more and more writer's blocks..and Im afraid all my chapters are too rushed or small or people wont like them..The reason I keep going is if people are into this story, and like it, I want them to read more. I want to give them more to read, even if I do think my story sucks, if other people like it, that's enough for me. I only asked for one review because I figured that everyone wouldnt want to read it anymore because I hadnt updated in so long. It made me soooo happy when I got close to 6 reviews for a SINGLE chapter though. (For some people that might not be a lot, but for me, its like heaven)
So all those people who are reviewing..thankyouthankyouthankyou. If you hadn't reviewed for this story..I honestly would not have continued it. Thankyou..And please keep reviewing ;;;
