"Ow! What the hell was that for?" Jiraiya rubbed the back of his head and glared at Tsunade.

"For trying to sneak this into your bag." Tsunade waved one of Jiraiya's perverted books in the air.

"It's an early birthday present for Naruto." He snatched the book out of her hands. "He's not a kid anymore ya know." He stuffed the book back into his suitcase and turned for the door.

He was slapped across the face once more before he ran outside to the waiting taxi that would take him to the airport. There would be two half hour overlays in his flight from Japan to England and adding that time onto his six hour flight gave him at least four hours of sleep, two hours to work on his new book, and on hour to simply admire the senery.

Naruto stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist. It had been a month and a half since he'd come to the castle and about a month and four days since he'd met his ghostly 'friend.' Sasuke would stalk Naruto during the day, well, aside from when he would leave the castle. Sasuke refused to step foot outside the front gates, which Naruto found rather odd.

And he didn't know why, but for some reason he felt as if he'd known Sasuke his entire life, which he knew was impossible.

Naruto replaced his towel with a pair of orange boxed and loose fitting sweatpants. He took his comb off of the dresser and proceeded to fix his hair.

Sasuke materialized behind Naruto. He wrapped his arms around the blonde's waist and nuzzled his face into Naruto's neck.

Naruto gave a yelp of surprise and whipped around, his face turned a deep red.

"What are you doing!" Naruto's voice came out very high pitched and if possible his blush deepened at the close contact.

"You still don't remember do you?" Sasuke sighed and loosened his grip.

"Remember what?"

Sasuke's face was suddenly very close to Naruto's own.

"This."

Naruto's eyes widen in surprise and his heart skipped a beat. Sasuke was kissing him. Naruto froze, his body wouldn't move no matter how badly he wished it would.

Sasuke pulled away from him and just stood the staring, as if waiting for something. Naruto regained control of his body and slapped Sasuke across the face.

"Pervert!"

"Yes?" Jiraiya opened Naruto's bedroom door and poked his head in.

Naruto looked at Jiraiya and shot him a grin in greating. He snapped his head back the where Sasuke was standing only to find that the ghost had seemingly disappeared. And for some reason Naruto felt sad that he was gone.
