Chapter 4
"Are you sure?" Iruka asked Kakashi.
"Yes." He said to Iruka, "Naruto, did not leave the Uchiha Mansion."
"That means-" Iruka began.
"Possibly," Kakashi replied, "But Naruto is still Naruto, and Sasuke is still Sasuke."
"I agree." Iruka sighed, and snuggled closer to Kakashi.
They turned off the light, covered up, and fell asleep.
"Uzumaki Naruto," Iruka said, "And Uchiha Sasuke. You'll be partners."
"What about Sakura?" Naruto asked, dumb-founded.
"Sakura has – taken some time off. She felt ill today."
Iruka winked at the two boys.
"Now," He said, "I'll pass around your next assignment."
There was the scrapping of the chairs as people partnered up. Iruka went around, passing a piece of people to every group. When he got to Naruto and Sasuke, he stopped, and Sasuke thought he was going to say something. Iruka just smiled a bit, and gave them their paper.
"Let me see." Naruto said, grabbing the paper from Sasuke's hand.
The mission was unlike any other they have had before. All Sasuke knew was that they were supposed to meet some guy at this address. He couldn't believe it! This wasn't a mission, it was a blind date.
"Iruka-sensai?" Sasuke called out, "I think there is a mistake."
The teacher came back their way. "There isn't a mistake, Sasuke. Someone requested you and Naruto take that mission."
"I refuse to do this." Sasuke grumbled.
Iruka ignored the comment and continued on.
"Come on, Sasuke," Naruto pleaded, "How bad can it be?"
"You want to know?" The dark haired boy snapped, "We get captured, tortured and they kill us after we beg for them too. That's how bad it can be."
"That won't happen," The blonde sighed, "Lets at least check it out."
Naruto looked at Sasuke with big puppy dog eyes.
"Okay," The dark hair boy gave in.
They had been searching for half an hour for the address of the place they were supposed to meet this guy. Unfortunately, no address ceased to exist.
"We'll just tell Iruka-sensai that we couldn't find it." Sasuke said, giving up.
"But what do we do right now?" The blonde whined.
"You will come with me, and talk." A voice said.
Kakashi walked out of the shadows. How long had he been standing there, Sasuke thought?
"There was no mission," The sensai continued, "I just wanted to talk with you two. But I knew you wouldn't chat with me if I asked you. Now, you have no choice."
"What is there to talk about?" Naruto said angrily, "You made me miss half of my lunch!"
"The other day, at Sasuke's house." Kakashi said, "Are you two serious about this?"
"Of course we're serious?" Naruto said.
"So," The teacher said grimly, "You would risk your reputation for this?"
"These are silly and useless questions." Sasuke said suddenly, "I'm going."
Kakashi nodded, "As you wish."
Sasuke kept walking until he cooled off. Couldn't people just leave it alone and know that he loved Naruto? No, of course they couldn't!
"Let's eat." Naruto placed on hand on Sasuke's arm. They ended up ordering ramen to go, and then walked until they found an empty bench in the park.
When Naruto finished his ramen, he spoke.
"I'm going to move in with you," He told Sasuke.
The dark haired boy choked on his own ramen. "What!"
"It's better than my little apartment." The blonde continued, "And it would be good for both of us."
"Naruto," Sasuke began, "You can't."
"Why?" The blonde said, exasperated.
"Because."
"Because why?"
"Because your with someone else!" Sasuke cried.
His temper flared. Naruto stared at him, wide-eyed. Sasuke stood.
"Sasuke," The blonde whispered, "Why do you think this?"
"It's true, isn't it?" The dark haired boy glared at Naruto. "I saw you with someone else!"
"WHO?" The blonde roared, "Who told you this?"
"Does it matter?" Sasuke said softly. "I love you Naruto. But now – I'll never forgive myself."
Naruto stood. "It isn't true. Sasuke, look at me. It isn't true."
The dark haired boy laughed. A laugh that sent shivers down the blonde's spine. Sasuke looked up at Naruto. His face was twisted in agony. Tears watered up in his eyes.
"No," Naruto said, "Sasuke."
Sasuke shook his head.
"I took a chance, and look where it got me." He spat at the blonde.
Naruto went to reply. He didn't get the chance. Sasuke turned and left.
"Naruto, what have you done?" The dark haired boy whispered to himself.
He let out a sob, and hugged the pillow closer to his chest.
"What have you done?" he repeated, shoving his face into the pillow.
Sasuke couldn't take it anymore. The pain, it felt as though he had no heart. No soul. No Naruto. He began to cry. It wasn't supposed to hurt like this. Letting out one last sob, he fell backwards onto his bed and cried himself to sleep.
