HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ANY DAD'S OUT THERE!

Sarah: chapter 6 is here. Hope you enjoy. I don't own the Naruto anime, manga, or cast. I'm just borrowing them to use at my discretion. Oh, and this chapter is gonna be even shorter than last chapter.

As of this update, those are the only people who guessed right.

Normal review responses

CHAPTER SHOUTOUT: anonymous: wow, you totally read my mind about Kyuubi. That's basically how I figured out Kyuubi can't have been all bad. And actually, during the shows surrounding their journey to that one island place with the bridge-builder guy, Kyuubi partially took over when Naruto got very pissed when he thought Sasuke was down and out … for good. That insinuates a closer behind-the-scenes relationship than they actually show everyone, doesn't it? And I don't mind answering long reviews; they actually make me happier than before I read them. Cause that way, I know people were paying attention to at least some of the specifics and not just the general overall stuff. And about the suffix –san. I've been searching several translation sites as well as working through a few people from the Japanese area who know Japanese. And almost all of my sources point to the suffix used much more for males than females, unless the female were to be rather tomboyish. Oh, and you could've put a name or something instead of anonymous. It helps narrow down the people who could take this answer as if it is for them. But it's all up to you.

How dare you kiss Sasuke: well, I do dare. Cause in the pre- and post-story author notes, I have been have a few 'relationships' going one, and one of which is a love-square (like a love triangle, but with four people); in case nobody has figured out the about the relationships yet.

I think Naruto will tell Sasuke his feelings and identity and somehow change back to normal after Sasuke admits his: er … that'd be way too easy for Naruto-kun, now wouldn't it? Besides, this isn't a curse, you know. Just a jutsu gone wrong, as the title says. That kind of stuff only happens when there's a curse involved. At least, it only happens then in my stories.

Being interrupted is a bit cliché: yeah, I know. I just don't want it to be too easy for them. It would be a bit too easy if Sasuke found out so quickly, ne? I thought so.

SHORT CATCH-UP

Nara, a.k.a. Naruto, stays with Sasuke for a while. After several hours of training, Sasuke questions 'Nara' about her distractedness. Fearing letting the truth slip, Naruto flees to Tsunade. Tsunade comforts Naruto and tries to lay his fears to rest. A more than day passes before Naruto returns. And Naruto is about to tell Sasuke the truth.

Chapter 6

And Just When the Truth was to be Revealed

"Well, the truth is …," Nara starts, her face downcast so that she is looking at her lap, where her hands are fiddling with each other. "Sasuke-san, please don't hate me; I wouldn't be able to stand myself if you were to hate me. But, I am not who you think I am," she murmurs.

Sasuke's eyes widen with surprise. "Then who are you?" he asks.

She raises her head and smiles sadly at him. "I am someone you know very, very well," she whispers, her navy blue eyes somehow flashing ocean blue for maybe a second and then back again. "I got trapped this way by a jutsu," she whispers so softly that Sasuke almost has to strain to hear her.

His eyes widen at the implications. "Who are you?" he asks again.

"I'm …," she starts when a rapping comes at the window beside 'Nara'. She and Sasuke both look out the window to see Kakashi-sensei.

Sasuke opens the window to let the silver-haired jounin in. "Yes?" Sasuke half-growls.

Kakashi shakes his head. "I see you're busy, so I'll make this brief. The Hokage has a mission for you starting tomorrow morning, Sasuke, and she wants you to see her around six-thirty," he says. He glances at the beautiful young girl who had been talking to Sasuke. "You can take your girlfriend if you wish," Sasuke's former teacher says.

Sasuke and 'Nara' start protesting that she is not his girlfriend, but Kakashi had already left. 'Nara' shakes her head after the silver-haired jounin. "You were going to tell me who you are, ne?" Sasuke asks.

'Nara' just smiles sadly. "I'm tired, Sasuke-san," she says. "And you have to be up early tomorrow, so we should go to bed," she murmurs.

Sasuke shakes his head in disappointment at not finding out yet. "At least stop addressing to me as an acquaintance," he asks.

"Alright … Sasuke-kun," she replies, smiling lightly at him. She turns to lay down on her futon.

Sasuke spurts out a question before it even processes in his mind, something that doesn't happen too often. "Will you go on the mission with me?" he asks.

She pauses, then turns to truly smile at him. "I'd like that," she says softly, nodding. "G'night, Sasuke-kun," she says, laying down on her futon.

"G'night," Sasuke responds, laying down on his own futon. Slowly, 'Nara' false asleep. Sasuke stays awake for a bit, watching this strange girl. 'Kakashi had to come at the time she was going to tell me who she is. Ugh! I bet he enjoys having the worst timing and plans for it! The bastard! And then she wouldn't even tell me after he left! I bet Kakashi showing up made her lose her resolve for some reason! But why? Why would seeing Kakashi make her stop wanting to tell me her identity? Especially after making me promise not to hate her? Geez! This girl is confusing!' he thinks, slowly slipping of to sleep soon after.


Sarah: okay, that's a good place to stop for this chapter. So very sorry for having Kakashi cut in before Naruto can explain his identity to Sasuke … NOT! HAHAHAHA! I told ya'll early on and now I'll reiterate it: Sasuke' won't find out for a while! At least two or three more chapters. Please be patient until then! AND PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! (hides behind Sasuke) (small, timid voice) please protect me if they try, Sasuke-kun!

Sasuke: fine. I'll protect you … (is smiled brightly at) on one condition.

Sarah: (suspiciously) what?

Sasuke: (smirks) (whispers something in Sarah's ear)

Sarah: (glowers) WHAT?

Sasuke: you heard me.

Sarah: GRRRRR! I really, really dislike you right now!

Sasuke: (smirk widens) why not just say hate?

Sarah: cause you're too damned hot to hate! And FINE! I'll do it! But remember this Sasuke, I will find a way to torment you in the fic for this!

Sasuke: (has very nervous and scary thoughts but doesn't show them in his features)
