Summary: They had been seeing each other in secret for a reason. They wanted something that didn't involve their family. They already had to deal with expectations and the impending uncertainty of their graduation. Sadly good things have to come to an end.
Pairing: Kagome/Sasuke
Disclaimer: I still own nothing, yay being broke. Well, enjoy.

Naruto yawned stretching in his bed roll. He lumbered down the stairs scratching his behind, moving his nightcap to be out of his eyes. He stopped outside out of the kitchen when he heard voices.
"I see, what do we do now?" He blinked, that was Higurashi-jiisan, he peaked around the corner. His eyes widened, why was the Konoha Chief of Police here? He hadn't done a prank in weeks or at least nothing that could come back to him. Wait, he peeked around the corner again, wait why was Sasuke there as well? Why was he looking at Kagome? What was that look in his eyes? He ducked back when he realized he was staring.
"I think we should establish a betrothal contract." Naruto blanched, he wouldn't be so cruel as to marry her to that emotionally constipated clan.
"I agree, if they're going to see each other, it's better for it to be monitored that under our nose." Naruto covered his mouth to muffle his scream, Kagome wouldn't. She wouldn't date him. At least not without telling him. He bit his hand, what did that bastard do? "We'll go over the details later, the academy starts in an hour." Naruto groaned, he forgot about that. Why did they even have class on Saturdays at noon?
"Of course." The Higurashi patriarch said. Naruto panicked and quickly looked for a place to hide, he slid into the small closet beside the kitchen. He watched from a crack as they left he stayed there in case the other's left. It didn't take long, Kagome followed her grandfather her head bowed. He turned to her clasping his hand over her shoulder, she winced. "I don't know if to be mad that you're disregarding your training."
"I haven't." She insisted but retracted back into herself when he squeezed her shoulder harder.
"Any attention diverted from the betterment of your jutsu is disregarding your training." He said tone harsh. "Don't interrupt me. As I was saying, I'm happy that you were able to capture the attention of an Uchiha. You're starting to give me hope that you're not failure." Kagome's shoulders tensed, Naruto frowned. Why was Higurashi-jiisan being so mean? Was he always like that? "Don't be late to school." The older man said leaving through the front door.
Kagome stood there eyes trained on the floor. "Naruto, I know you're there." She said not looking at his location.
He slinked out. "There's no hiding from you." He said scratching his head sheepishly. He frowned as she wrapped her arms around herself. "So…" He started before he gave up and walked over to her encasing her in a hug. She pulled away after a while.
"Go it ready for school." She said directing him towards the stairs.
…
Naruto sat there awkwardly as people took note around him while Iruka lectured them on chakra control. Well except for Shikamaru who was lightly snoring above him and he looked over to Kagome. Her paper was blank, her gaze was in the direction of the window but her eyes showed she was deep in thought. 'He looked down with a scowl at Uchiha Sasuke. How could someone look so indifferent? He was engaged, but no he looked like his usual smug self. Unless, Naruto grit his teeth, that bastard how could he be calm he ruined his friend's life. She was going to be tethered to him. She was too free to be caged to that cold emotionally dead clan. He was brought out of his thoughts by a poke to his side. He looked at his friend but her gaze was still out there, though her head was tilted a little now. Then he noticed the note placed in front of him.
"I'll tell you later, I promise." Was scribbled there. He looked at her again their blue eyes meeting. He huffed letting his head bang into the desk. He couldn't stop the smile that graced his face when she pat his head. Iruka spared them a single glance before continuing to teach. One thing he loved about Saturday's was that they got out after a couple hours. When the bell rang Naruto played it cool, he watched Uchiha closely. Had they been obvious and he had just never noticed. Sasuke packed his bag before slinging it over his shoulder all the while ignoring his fanclub. Naruto blanched as he strolled past Kagome without so much as a sideways glance. That bastard but then he noticed that his friend ignored the other as well.
"Ready to go?" Kagome asked her bag hanging from her shoulder. He just nodded before following. They walked through Konoha ignoring the hostile looks thrown towards them. He felt himself relax fully once they were in the wooded property that belonged to small Higurashi family.
Kagome lead him to a tiny clearing before leaping into the nearest tree. She stepped along one of the low main branches on the tips of her toes. She paused looking to him. "Go on." She prompted, spinning to sit on the branch.
Naruto sat on the ground. "Well where do I start? How did this happen?"
Kagome plucked a leaf from the tree with a muttered apology before looking at the small plant. "Well, I'm not quite sure actually." She stated with a shrug. "I guess we just bonded, and we've been like this for, wow almost a year." She said astonished but more to herself that her friend whose jaw was on the ground.
"A year." He let it sit in his mouth. "You kept this from me for a year!" He yelled, Kagome flinched at his volume.
"I said almost, and not so loud." She stressed before playing with the leaf again. "And it was from everyone, it had to be."
"Why?" Naruto sprang to his feet. " Is Uchiha ashamed to be with you? Is he? If he is, I'll kick his ass." He ranted pacing back and forth.
Kagome watched as he continued each statement or question becoming more vulgar. She bent backwards, grabbing the branch as the flipped to the ground. She landed beside him taking his shoulders. "Naruto it was my idea that we remain secret, I couldn't have jii-san know" She covered his mouth as questions began to form. "We weren't dating at first, that's relatively new."
He pulled away as realization hit him. "Has he been in your room?" Kagome's stunned answer was all he needed. "Please don't tell me you two?" He asked horrified at the thought, that bastard had better not have touched her.
"No, we haven't. And he's only be there a handful of times." She stated firmly.
"Wait," He vaguely remembered Kagome kicking him out of her room telling to sleep in Sota's room, that made so much more sense now. "So those." He gestured to her neck. "They weren't from the cat." He hollered in shock while his friend blushed. "I shouldn't have figured it out sooner, Buyo hasn't done that since he was tiny." There was a silence between them with her avoiding eye contact. He grinned mischievously. "Is he a good kisser?" He teased puckering his lips. He laughed as her face went completely red.
Well I hope you enjoyed, love you jane~
