Chapter One

Sasuke woke, rolling over and yawning. After a moment, he threw back the blue and black blanket covering him, and sat up. He lazily rubbed at his eyes, then barely stretched his arms above his head. "Mm…" He slowly lowered his feet to the wood floor. The instant soft flesh met the hardwood floor, he jerked back with a slight yelp of suprise at the coldness of the floor. Then, a warm hand on his shoulder.

"Good morning, Brother. I trust you slept well?" The voice rang in Sasuke's ears, causing him to freeze up. He whirled around, eyes widening at the sharp, blood red eyes gazing down at him. He swallowed.

"Speechless, Brother? Why is this?" His Sharingan eyes danced with a slight amusement, a sickly smile crossing his face.

Sasuke glared then threw himself at the other boy. Having pinned him to the bed, it was Sasuke's turn to smirk. "Drop the act Naruto. It was a nice run. You actually had me that time."

Naruto, turning back to himself, giggled furiously. "You really fell for that? I thought you were just letting me play! …And you call me stupid!"

The raven-haired boy put more force into his hands, which were holding the wrists of the blonde under him to the bed. "Shut up, dobe." He got up, and climbed off the bed again, forcing himself to get used to the cold floor. He turned, black eyes glaring into the cerulean blue eyes of the boy sitting on his bed. "Why are you here, anyway?" he asked, finally realizing the situation beyond the fact the blonde was in his room, uninvited.

Naruto only shrugged. "I came to ask if maybe you wanted to train. I knocked, but you didn't answer. You also left the door unlocked, teme."

Sasuke glared at him. "Fine." He walked out of the room, not bothering to change, and slunk into the kitchen. He just grabbed some bread, and ate that quickly, eager to kick Naruto into the ground, as usual.

Naruto slowly followed him out, watching every bite taken of the bread. The second Sasuke finished, Naruto grabbed him and dragged him back to his room. "Hurry up and get dressed!"

For once, Sasuke obliged, and slammed the door, quickly dressing in his usual training clothes. He stepped out, shoving Naruto from his doorway. "Go. Come on, dobe. Thought you wanted to train!"

Naruto turned, glared, and sneered at the other boy. "You wanna train almost as bad as I do. But you won't beat me this time. After all… You can't beat Kakashi-sensei yet!"

Sasuke gave him an odd, questioning look. "Yeah, so? Nor can you."

"That's where you, teme, are wrong." He reached into the pocket of his orange jacket, pulling out a book. Kakashi's book. Make Out Paradise. Naruto's smirk widened as Sasuke stared at the book.

"You… How… He's so fast, even I…" He looked away, eyes turned to the floor. His eyes flashed. Stuffing the book back in his jacket, Naruto started out of the hall.

"Come on. Let's go."

Trembling, Sasuke followed him. "How did he best me?" Sasuke thought aloud, staring at the floor. Naruto heard him, but said nothing.
