His world collapsed. "S-Sasuke? Why?" Sasuke forced himself to look at Naruto. "I'm sorry, but I was ordered." He mumbled.
"You used my genuine feelings for you against me and completely betrayed me because you were ordered?" Naruto shouted incredulously.
"Naruto, I am so sorry." The blonde wasn't listening though; his blue eyes we filling with tears. Sasuke had put new restraints on Naruto. Naruto stared at the blue chakra bands, shaking his head and willing them not to be real. "I can't believe you…" Naruto turned back to the gates. "Naruto… the restraints are stronger than the other ones…so don't,…" he muttered.
"Bastard!" Naruto hissed as he walked away from the gates. Sasuke followed him.
"Wait, let me explain!" Naruto blinked more tears out of his eyes, wishing he had more self-control than this. Naruto ran away from Sasuke as fast as he could and when he got home he slammed the door behind him quickly. He ran upstairs and locked himself in his room; finally he could let all his feelings out. He fell on his bed, crying loudly.
"I used the emergency chakra bands on Naruto." Sasuke reported. Tsunade nodded grimly. "He used the kyuubi's power then. Did you find out why he was desperate to leave?" Sasuke blushed.
"N-no." Tsunade looked at him suspiciously.
"Very well then. I know how close you two are and I apologize on giving you the responsibility of placing the chakra bands on Naruto at all costs to stop him from leaving the village. I know he may be a little angry with you." Sasuke looked down.
"He's more than angry…" he muttered.
"I understand that Sasuke, but Naruto is still under your watch. Remember, keep him in the village and keep him safe." Sasuke nodded.
As he was walking back to find Naruto, he took a turning and found himself at kakashi's house. "Sasuke? Can I help you?" Sasuke nodded.
"Can…can I talk to you about something?" kakashi nodded and stepped aside so Sasuke could walk in. kakashi lead him to the kitchen where they both sat down. "If you're worried about you training, I can assure you-"
"N-no" Sasuke interrupted. "Its about…Naruto" kakashi nodded, urging him to go on. "You know what, never mind." Sasuke muttered standing up. Kakashi shook his head.
"Sasuke, I want to help you in any way I can and it must be something important for you to ask someone for advice." Sasuke sat down. "Start from the beginning."
"Well… I got Naruto back from the sand village and Tsunade put those chakra restraints on him and he tried to leave of course his chakra was drained… by then we weren't on good terms… then he tried to leave again and he told me he loved me." Sasuke buried his head in his hands. Much to kakashi's surprise, he could see small tears marking the table Sasuke was leaning over. Sasuke wiped his eyes quickly and looked up. "It gets worse. He managed to break the restraints and it was my mission to keep him in the village so… I used his feelings for me against him and lured him back into kohona so I could restrain him." Kakashi thought for a moment.
"Do you like Naruto?" he asked carefully.
"Of course! I wouldn't be here if I didn't care!" Sasuke replied.
"I mean… do you like Naruto." Sasuke blushed slightly.
"I…b-but…e-erm…w-well I…I've not thought about that until now." Kakashi looked at him. "N-no. no I don't like him. He's my best friend, not anything else."
"Are you sure about that answer?" kakashi asked.
"No…" Sasuke muttered. 'Well, that clears things up… perhaps…Shikamaru filled me in on all the mission details…' kakashi thought.
"What were your exact feelings where you saw Naruto with gaara?"
"I felt… like Naruto had betrayed me somehow, but that doesn't make sense…" kakashi smiled. "I am interested to know, what was Naruto doing in bed with gaara. Perhaps they had a fling-"
"THEY DID NOT!" Sasuke screamed jumping up. Kakashi looked at him, completely unsurprised. "There is your answer Sasuke."
