The next day Sasuke awoke with a knock at the door. He rolled over to see the time flash nine a.m., rubbing his eyes, Sasuke got up to answer the door. There standing in his doorway was a tall silver haired man. He wore a blue cloth over his nose and mouth. Also he wore his forehead protector over his left eye.
Sasuke frowned, "what do you want Kakashi-sensei?"
Kakashi smiled under the mask. "I'm here to escort you to the Fifth Hokage, and when I heard my subordinate was here I had to visit him."
Sasuke gave his famous glare, "I'm not your subordinate anymore." Kakashi chuckled.
"Well I know your back for someone special. Else you wouldn't have offered such high stakes to be in Konoha."
Sasuke looked away to hide the light blush on his face, 'Fuck! Does Kakashi know who it is? Was I obvious all those years ago? And does that mean Naruto knows?'
Kakashi interrupted Sasuke's thoughts, "anyways let's get to Tsunade."
Tsunade waited impatiently in her office, she was not happy about the elder's decision.'What the hell are they thinking!? Letting a threat like Uchiha, Sasuke stay in Konoha!'
Flashback to earlier that day
"This could be a good thing for Konoha, especially if He's sincere about being a part of our Anbu." The elderly male had told Tsunade. "Yes, I'm sure the young Uchiha has grown much in strength." The Gray haired woman chided in agreement. Sadly enough Tsunade was completely beat in telling the Uchiha to go double cross someone else.
Back to reality
Sasuke walked into the office without knocking, Kakashi followed right behind him.
Tsunade gave a cold look that could kill the Uchiha Brat as he spoke, "You summoned?" He said as cocky as ever. 'Kakashi looks joyful,' thought Tsunade as she replied, "Yes I called for you," She spoke harsher than ever, "I am to announce the decision. The elders thought your proposal is a great idea, but you are to do everything we ask of you without complaint until you have proven your loyalty with the leaf."
Sasuke gave a smirk at this.
"This means you are to be monitored at all times to make sure you don't have any plans against Konoha, so you are not to roam the village freely. Kakashi will be with you until further notice."
"WHAT!?" To Sasuke this was an outrage. "I don't need an escort! I'm not going to attack Konoha!"
Tsunade grinned evilly; she was finally enjoying this situation Sasuke had put her in. Poor Sasuke will have to be followed around by the perverted Kakashi. "You must do as we wish Sasuke." She said tauntingly as Sasuke looked very annoyed.
"Yes Ma'am." He managed to spit out through clenched teeth.
"Good, now leave my sight. I have many things to attend to." Tsunade waved him away.
Sasuke and Kakashi walked in silence through the town. 'How am I going to get Naruto if I have Kakashi following me!?' Sasuke walked with frustration in his step while Kakashi seemed fairly cheerful to be with him. "So Sasuke, you never did tell me who it was you are here for."
Sasuke gave an evil glare, "It isn't important." Sasuke was not in the mood to deal with Kakashi's taunting.
Ignoring the hateful glare, "But Sasuke, if it is one of my students that you're here for it is very much important to me." Kakashi continued to pry.
Sasuke looked away immediately as thought of the twelve year old fox child flooded his mind. Sasuke finally mumbled, "It isn't important because the person probably hates me for what I've done anyways."
Kakashi smiled to himself under his mask, he knew exactly who Sasuke was talking about, and he knew that wasn't true. He just wanted Sasuke to admit it out loud that he loved Naruto. "That's not true. That person loves you very much, and will forgive you Sasuke."
Sasuke kept his face emotionless to keep from giving Kakashi the satisfaction he was begging for, "So you do know who it is then."
Kakashi nodded. "You think me watching team 7's every move since day one and not noticing their emotions for each other develop is easy to do? I've kept quiet about your feelings Sasuke. For I knew you would come back to be with Naruto. So when I heard you were in town, I wanted to help."
Just as Kakashi finished saying this they passed Ichiraku ramen. Sasuke naturally looked up with searching eyes for the blonde boy. Immediately he looked away when his eyes caught the bright orange.
"You want me to treat you to some ramen?" Kakashi's teasing tone was instantly back again.
"No, I don't like ramen." Sasuke spoke firmly.
"You may not like ramen but I know you see something you do like, and want to be close to."
Naruto suddenly looked up and saw Sasuke and Kakashi a little ways away; he had felt the Uchiha's presence. Naruto froze for a second then quickly turned back to his ramen, trying to act natural. 'What is Sasuke doing here!?'
Naruto felt movement on the left side of him. Slowly he looked up to see who it was. To his horror he saw Sasuke right next to him and Kakashi to the left of Sasuke. 'Shit, he's sitting right next to me.'
'Aww Kit, you seem jittery with the Uchiha so close to you.' Naruto's stomach growled slightly, it was the Kyuubi talking to Naruto.
He glared at his stomach, 'Shut it fox… if anything Sasuke's probably here to kill me!'
The fox laughed inside his cage as he paced impatiently. 'I don't think that's the case Kit.'
Naruto glared at his stomach once more than took a bite of his ramen.
Sasuke sat there with his usual habit of his elbows resting on the table and his hands laced together, "Hnn… Dobe, what has you so flustered."
Naruto looked up, "nothing that concerns you!"
Sasuke ignored this with patience, "Well, do you want to go train later today?"
Naruto frowned, 'why would he want to do anything with me?' "But the plumb festival is this evening."
Sasuke tried to hide his slight disappointment; he thought this would surely get the blonde railed up. "Oh, I see."
Kakashi smiled under his mask, "so are you going to the festival Sasuke?" He said tauntingly.
'You're not helping' was what the glare Sasuke shot Kakashi said as he didn't answer.
Naruto was now getting fidgety with Sasuke's evil glare. "Uhh, well I need to go. Bye Kakashi-sensei." Then hesitantly, "Bye Sasuke."
Sasuke nodded in acknowledgment as Kakashi warmly said goodbye. Naruto quickly slapped a free ramen ticket on the counter and ran off towards home, leaving the rest of his ramen bowl untouched.
Kakashi smiled, "you are going, right?"
Sasuke shrugged, "you have to follow me around all the same, so why should I tell you?"
Kakashi nodded, "I guess I'll just find out the hard way then."
As the town set up for the festival Sasuke hid in his old home with Kakashi. Kakashi sat at the table reading Icha icha paradise while Sasuke took a shower.
Sasuke stood thinking as the cool shower water fell over his body, 'He was so close. I could feel his warmth, not to mention his smell. It was intoxicating, but he's still so… so… distant, and scared of me.' He trailed off farther into his thoughts of Naruto.
Just as he was close to drifting asleep, a loud bang came from the kitchen. Sasuke quickly dried himself off and pulled his shorts on, rushing into the kitchen to see what happened. There Kakashi stood in front of the stove where a black explosion seemed to have gone off. What little bit of Kakashi's face you could usually see was now covered with black mysterious powder.
"What the hell just happened in here!?" Sasuke just had to ask.
Kakashi smiled under his mask, "I was just working on an experiment. I must have added too much salt."
All Sasuke could do was stand there in shock. The kitchen was now an explosion sight and the festival was less than an hour away. "Damn it Kakashi! Clean up this mess right now and then get ready for the festival!" Was all he could muster up, muttering how dumb and annoying his old sensei was under his breath, and stormed off into his room to prepare getting ready for the festival himself.
'Ah so we are going to the festival then.' Kakashi thought even more tauntingly.
After Kakashi had finished cleaning his disaster, making them now two hours late for the festival Sasuke harshly told him to get moving to the festival. Both the men were now dressed in Kimonos. Sasuke's was a deep blue that had the Uchiha symbol all across the bottom and came up about a foot before completely stopping. It was Sasuke's favorite festival kimono he owned between it proudly showing off his family heritage and it being his favorite blue, it also showed his physique even better than his usual clothes. Kakashi wore a maroon kimono with green leaves all over it, typical for Kakashi to wear something different yet so simple.
The whole town was decorated with different hues of purples, pinks and leafy greens. in all kinds of decorations, from banners and ribbons to lights, bright against the usual buildings. There were many booths set up all over the place, from food booths to game booths, even some gift and souvenir booths. Everyone looked happy and obviously was enjoying themselves.
Well it seems that it takes about 6 written pages to get this much typed up and i've offically typed up all I have so far. This means I'm probably going to take a while to actually update from now on, but I hope you like it so far. I know some of the characters are very ooc (there is more of that to come if I ever put Gaara into it evil grin) but of course, this wouldn't be a fanfic if the characters were just how they were in the anime, and the sasunaru paring wouldn't be going threw.
