DISCLAMER: I don't own Naruto, Sasuke does. Kishimoto-sensei has his rights to his own creations. Any OC's are mine. Like Yuki Nozoku (he's my inner self)

WARNING: This chapter contains fluff. (And a tiny bit of KakaSasu, just a tiny)

Sakura will not be in this, she's doing something for Tsunade and she won't show up until later chapters.

Chapter 2: Everything changed

I looked at him for what seemed to be the longest time. My mouth started to twitch and it soon turned into a smile. I couldn't help it. I was so shocked I started to laugh.

"This is a joke isn't it, Sasuke?" I continued to laugh, failing to notice the obvious hurt in his eyes.

His mouth turned into a very upset smile, his lips quivering trying to cover his sadness.

"Yeah," He started to laugh too, but in a fake way. "Wasn't it a funny joke, Naruto?"

"It was." I just kept on laughing.

Without another word Sasuke turned and walked away, waving his hand as a goodbye gesture. I smiled and waved back. He seemed to be okay at the time. I kept on smiling, for some odd reason I felt received when I thought it was a joke and yet, at the same time, I didn't. As I walked home Kakashi-sensei appeared before me, his visible eye looking like an upside down U.

"Hey Sensei." I said, stopping in my tracks. "What's up?"

"I just wanted to remind you that tomorrow we have a mission." Kakashi-sensei replied. "Seeing as you so dense."

I glared at his as a warning.

"I so did remember!" I lied, in fact I totally forgot.

I was so caught up in what Sasuke said; I actually forgot everything else around me. I became deep in thought.

"Earth to the knucklehead," Kakashi-sensei said, lightly knocking on my headband.

I looked into his eye, mentally telling him I was listening.

"Be at the main gate by ten okay?" And with that he poofed away it a heavy white smoke screen.

I sighed. Ten, sure . . . like you're going to be there on time.

~~~~The next day~~~

Surprisingly I was the first one to the main gate; usually Sasuke was here before me. Saying something like; 'Hey, dobe.' or something to that effect. A few minuets passed and surprisingly Kakashi-sensei showed. He looked around, then back at with his brows knitted together.

"Naruto," He started. "Where's Sasuke?"

"How should I know?" I answered. "Yesterday was the last time I saw him."

"Hey," Sasuke called out, finally coming up to us. "Sorry I'm late. I had to take care of something."

What was this, opposite day? Kakashi-sensei's early and Sasuke's late, can this day get any weirder?

"So sensei," I asked turning in Kakashi's direction. "Sense Sasuke's here, what's our mission?"

"This'll bring back memories." Kakashi-sensei muttered at first. "We're heading off to the land of waves."

I looked back at Sasuke, thinking he was looking at me to with the same weird expression on his face, but when I did look back his eyes were on the ground refusing to look up. What was wrong with him?

"Why are we going back there?" I questioned, turning back to sensei.

"We need to escort an important client there." Kakashi-sensei replied. "Say hello to Mr. Yuki Nozoku."

A young boy around the age of thirteen appeared out of the shadows. He was tall for his age and had short light purple hair that framed his slender face, one that reminded me of Sasuke's, his eyes were a dull gray with a mix of light blue. The kid had a gothic look to his clothing.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto!" I blurted out like I always did, and I gave my best smile.

"Nozoku Yuki." He smiled too, it reminded me of Sasuke and I found myself blushing. "Nice to meet you."

We shook hands, and I noticed his skin color and the softness was similar to Sasuke's. What's up me? Why's Sasuke on my mind so much lately? I tried to shake it off.

"Let's get going, shale we?" Kakashi-sensei started to lead the way, I was second Yuki was third and Sasuke was last.

"So, Yuki," I slowed down and walked beside him. "You live in the land of waves?"

"Not exactly," he replied. "I'm from the hidden light village, and I'm going to the land of waves to do a little business."

"Business? Like what?" I asked.

"To see if we can become allies." Yuki answered.

I looked confusedly at him.

"So, you're like a messenger?"

"No," He replied bluntly. "I'm the Karukage."

I stopped in my tracks. Did he just say Karukage? I shook it off and caught up with him.

"B-but aren't you too young to be a kage?" I stuttered.

"The people in the village don't seem to mind." He said normally.

"O-oh." I didn't wan to say anything else.

The sun started to set and we decided to set up camp for the night. Sasuke decided to bunk with Sensei, and Yuki was with me.

(Sasu's POV)

I couldn't sleep, my heart was still hurting, unshed tears clung to the corners of my eyes. He didn't want my feelings for him to be true; he only liked me as a friend. My heart hurt more and I placed my hand on my chest, it felt like it was going to explode.

"Sasuke?" Kakashi surprised me, he was still up?! "What's the matter?"

"Nothing." I tried to mask my cracked voice but it failed.

"Sasuke." He said in a more stern voice.

Tears finally fell.

"I-I confessed my love to Naruto." I managed to choke out.

Kakashi looked worried and came to sit beside me.

"And he didn't return it?"

He was sort of right, but the way Naruto handled the situation just had a bad effect. I felt Kakashi's hand gently grip my chin, and he turned my head so that I was looking into his eyes. I couldn't help but blush, his eyes were hypnotizing with that one sharingan eye. He lowered his mask and leaned in close to my face. What was he going to do? He put his lips to my cheek close to my eye and kissed the tears away, for some reason it made me feel a bit better. He backed away and gave me a kind smile which made me blush even harder. It was silent between us, but it wasn't uncomfortable, we were still looking at each other. This was the first time I've seen Kakashi so caring, and soft.

"Sasuke, maybe he'll see what he just gave up." His eyes softened. "You're a good boy"

He ran his hand trough my naturally spiky hair; he sported a blush of his own.

"Sens-?!" Before I could finish, his lips lightly touched mine.

"S-Sensei?"

Oh, a twist! Will Naruto figure out his feelings for Sasuke before Kakashi steals him? Find out in the next chapter. *evil laughter*
