My Stupid Dobe Chapter Two- To The Land of Sand!
Gaara had left them to go do what he had originally came to do. This left Sasuke and Naruto all alone together once more.
Naruto was humming to himself, a happy content look on his face. Sasuke blinked. "What're you so happy about dobe?" Naruto just smiled more. "I get to actually go to the Sand Village! For a visit! No mission involved! It's just the thing I need. Besides, Gaara will be there to show me around... It'll be so much fun!"
Sasukes eye twitched at the word fun. 'I know Gaara... His idea of fun with Naruto is probably-' He stopped thinking at that point, his eyes growing in size. "Naruto, are you SURE you want to go? I mean I'm sure you'll just be a pain and all, what with Gaara being so busy..."
Naruto blinked, scratching his head slightly. "Wow Sasuke! If I didn't know you any better, I would almost think that you wanted me to stay here?" he laughed. "But I know you couldn't care less if I was in your hair or not. Think of it as a break from me. After all, it's probably what you want more than anything?"
Sasuke bit his lip. "No it's nothing like that. I mean, it's just so far away, and there are ways you could have fun here... And besides, we could go on some missions together. Just like always?"
Naruto stopped walking and looked over at Sasuke. "You know, I really do think you're sick. I think you should go to the doctors... They might be able to help you. They would love to help you too I'm sure. I mean come on, you're Sasuke, everyones' heart throb!"
Sasuke sighed. "Yeah sure Dobe... But you know, the only person I want to think of me as a 'heart throbb', as you so kindly put it, will never think of me as more than a friend."
Naruto blinked for a moment. "Sasuke... Teme... What are you talking about. You could have ANYONE in the whole village. For crying out loud! You have your own fan club!"
"God you're stupid... You know, the only person I want, won't join my fan club. I swear you need EVERYTHING explained to you, don't you?" he shook his head. "What ever, it doesn't matter. So anyway, when are you leaving for the Sand village?"
"Tommorow... Which reminds me. I need to pack. So I guess I'll see you later then. Oh and, I hope you can win over whoever didn't join your fan club. You deserve to be happy... Maybe that person will make you smile more..." Naruto smiled his ever foxy-like grin.
Sasuke smiled slightly. "Um... thanks I think..." he sighed and waved as Naruto left to go over to his apartment to pack. 'My stupid dobe... Why can't you see that the only one who'll make me happy and smile is you?' that last thought made him blink. "Maybe I really should see a doctor..." he muttered. "Damn love sickness..." After that, Sasuke left and went on his own merry little way. He after all, had to plan ways to win his dobes' heart. And besides, he had to give himself time to talk himself out of bringing weapons of mass destruction... The last thing he needed was the Sand Village people thinking of him as some kind of threat.
Meanwhile Naruto was packing his things, humming a cute little song all the while. Finishing things off, he zipped up his pack and slung it over his shoulder. All he had left to do was wait for-
Gaara lept into Narutos' room with a somewhat grin on his face. "You know, you really should lock your windows."
Naruto blinked. "Yeah probably... but there's no reason to. Everyone who wants to get in would only find more destructive ways to do so, and leaving the window unlocked will save me money for damages in a long run."
Gaara nodded. "I suppose so. But still it isn't safe. We wouldn't want you getting hurt now would we?" he sighed. "So are you ready to go? I finished my job here and I'm getting the feeling Sasuke wants me gone. You know... he's kind of creepy. He's been following me around giving me strange looks... He either has an early death wish for me... or he has a strange infatuation with me..."
"I think it's the first one. I mean earlier he tried to convince me not to leave with you... Dunno why though. I'm not going to ask though. He's been in a strange mood... Let's leave it at that..."
Gaara gave Naruto a strange look. "It's far fetched to think about... but I think Sasuke likes you... It only makes sense... I mean, take this morning for example. He was blushing when he fell into your lap..."
Naruto shook his head furiously. "Cha! I wish he liked me. Then maybe he wouldn't be so mean to me... though lately he hasn't made an effort to insult me or anything... which is kind of strange, by a lot... Seriously though, Sasuke would never like me in a million years! The day that happens, is the day that it gets chilly in a very warm place."
"My my my... Naruto, you need to get your eyes checked I think. If you haven't noticed those looks he gi- Oh never mind. Why do I bother? Heh, whatever. Are you ready to head on out?"
"Oh yeah. Sorry I didn't mean to keep you here more than I had to." Naruto smiled sheepishly and led Gaara out of his home. "Um... I don't exactly know how to get to the Sand Village. I'm sorry, but maybe you should take the lead..."
Gaara tilted his head slightly, a smile playing at his lips. "That's fine. Alright let's go." With that the two began to journey to the land of sand.
Sasuke watched as they left their villages' gates. Slipping Narutos collar into his pocket, he began to follow them once he was sure they were too far ahead to notice his presence.
Many hours passed and finally Gaara and Naruto arrived at the Village of Sand.
"Well, it's not much, but welcome anyway!" Gaara lifted his hand and pointed to the land before them. "Oh and please, do enjoy your stay!" he said with a wink.
Naruto grinned. "Could you show me around?"
"You don't even have to ask." Gaara reached out and laced fingers with Naruto and pulled him around his village. Naruto hadn't even noticed, as his mind was fully focused on all that Gaara was showing him. Again, this was the reason that he loved visiting the other neighboring lands.
Sasuke had been following, all the while trying his hardest not to wretch. Seeing Gaara so close to his dobe was enough to make him sick. It was also almost enough to attack the red head for even daring to get so close to his prey (Naruto). Naruto was his damnit! 'He is? I wonder if this place has a decent doctor... I mean, I think I need to go. I've tried to ignore it, but I can't. Thoughts of Naruto just won't go away!'
"Gaara!" The said person turned around to see someone who was out of breath. "You have a mission."
"Oh great..." he said sarcastically. "I have company. Can't you get someone else to do whatever it is?"
"No I'm sorry. The person you're to escourt specifically asked for you." Gaara clenched his fist at his sides. "I'm not running a fucking baby sitting service!" he ground out. The delivery ninja looked slightly nervous all of the sudden. "I.. I understand. I'm sorry Gaara but you have to..." he hesitantly handed the red head a note. "Gaara, it shouldn't take more than an hour. Please... relax..."
The red head sighed as he turned to face Naruto. "I'm sorry Naruto... I'll be back in an hour, and if I end up taking more than that, then I'll make sure to take it out on our messenger boy here..." he said in a seething manner towards the delivery ninja.
"Gaara it's perfectly fine. I'll just use this time to look around. I'll see you when you get back. Believe it!" Naruto said cheerfully making a peace sign.
"Alright then. I'll see you later." Gaara turned back to the messenger boy, who was trying to get away. "You! Do me a favor and tell anyone who's out and about to watch out for Naruto and make sure nothing happens to him. If I find out anything did, then people will... well I really don't think I need to fill in that blank..." he recieved a shaky nod in reply. "Alright then Naruto. I'll see you later. Believe it." he said trying out the others catch phrase. This caused Naruto to laugh as he waved goodbye.
Well, now that Naruto is alone he decided to go check out what kind of food there was. He realised there was a ramen stand. Without a second thought, he took a seat and ordered some miso ramen. There was someone breathing down his neck. This caused him to freeze up all of a sudden. Hesitantly he looked behind him and was thankful to see it was only Kiba. "Kiba!" he exclaimed cheerfully. "Hey, I didn't know you had any missions out here..."
"Yes well, thankfully it just ended. I couldn't take another moment with the little brat I had to protect getting over here. I swear he was just like... well he was just like you Naruto! No wonder I had a constant headache!"
Naruto pouted adorably. "Aww come on Naruto I'm only kidding! You know I have your back. So don't look so hopeless. Hey, you know what. I have a lot of restless energy and I need to get it out of me before I head back to our village. I mean that trip here was a waste of time. There wasn't anyone to fight... So would you like to spar with me?"
Naruto nodded. "Sounds like fun! I just learned this new move, and I've been dying to try it out! This'll give me a chance to do so!"
Kiba laughed and took a fighting stance. "Okay then. Whenever you're ready Naruto!"
Naruto smiled and stood up, setting his bowl aside. "You're going down Kiba!"
"Oh no you don't!" someone shouted knocking Naruto to the ground pinning him there.
Kiba burst out laughing. "No Naruto... I think it's you who went down..."
Naruto ignored him and looked up at, "Sasuke?"
Alright everyone! One more chapter after this. We will soon be able to see if Naruto gets a collar, and we also get to see what happens to Sasuke! Yeahness!
