Ok it starts to get more intense. (Wink wink, nudge nudge.)
Chapter three.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Naruto got ready for the day, he heard a knock on his door. He opened the door to see Ino standing there.
.: What the hell is she doing here?:.
"Ino? To what do I owe the early pleasure?" It was early for most of the village. It was 8:15 and Naruto had done everything except comb his hair.
"Umm Sakura sent me to tell you that she wants to meet you on the East bridge in 15 minutes. She also said that if you don't come she'll find you and kill you." She said in a blunt tone.
Naruto flinched. "Ok thanks for the message... I think."
Ino left as Naruto shut the door. .: Great, what am I going to say to Sakura? 'Sorry, but I'm in love with Sasuke?' Don't think so. She'd kill me. Then Sasuke would revive me just to kill me again. Sigh, looks like everyone wants to kill me again. :.
16 minutes later, Naruto was running to the bridge. He had decided not to go, but at the last minute changed his mind when he thought how mad Sakura would be. Now that was a scary thought.
As he ran to the bridge, excuses ran through his mind. For both being late and for loving someone else.
When he could see the bridge, Sakura was standing there looking out over the river. She turned around as she heard Naruto run up.
"Oh Naruto, there you are!" She said sweetly.
.: Oh god, what's wrong? Usually she's all 'CHA NARUTO, YOU'RE LATE!' She must be so angry, that she's luring me in to a false sense of security. AGGHHHHHHHH:.
"Uhh... Naruto?"
He had zoned out for a second. He came back to reality with a crash.
"Yes Sakura?"
"Naruto, I wanted to talk to you."
"About what Sakura?"
"Well, I realized that I've fallen in love with you."
.: Ohh... Now what do I do:.
"Wow Sakura, well ummmm. That's unexpected." .: No it's not :. "And I love you too, but more like a sister.".: Ha! Using her own words against her :. "Actually, I'm in love with someone else now."
"Really? Who?"
.: Act calm act calm :. "Ummm... it's a secret."
"You can tell me Naruto."
.: No I can't :. "Ummm... well they want to keep it a secret, and I don't want to betray their trust."
"Please?"
"Look Sakura, I got to go do some errands and stuff." .: No you-. Shut up! Everyone knows that's a lie! Inner Naruto: What people? Naruto: Look just shut up:.
"See you later." He said and walked towards town.
Then felt a pressure at the base of his neck.
He gasped as the world became fuzzy.
"Like it? Took me three weeks to learn that. Now you will tell me who the other girl is."
The world faded to black.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Naruto woke up, he found himself in a dark room. It looked like a living room, it had a couch and a couple chairs, one of which he was tied down to.
He tried to get free, but couldn't break the ropes. His hands were tied behind his back. He could just reach the lose end of the knot.
"Looks like you're up."
Naruto looked around the room to see Ino standing in the doorway. She had a small smile playing on her lips.
"I can't believe you fell for that Naruto. Sakura would never fall for a dork like you. Simple trick just to embarrass you turns into an amazing discovery. Naruto has lost his crush on Sakura. So tell me." She walked over to Naruto. "Who's this other girl?"
"Like I'd tell you."
"Come on you can tell me Naruto." She said smiling wickedly. "I'll keep you secret."
"No way."
"Please?"
Naruto narrowed his eyes. "... You're stupid."
That got Ino mad.
"Oh well, you'll tell me in the end." She said while walking towards the doorway. Naruto started untying the ropes. As soon as he got free he walked up quietly behind Ino. "Because you'll regret it if you don't."
"OH YEAH? REGRET THIS!" He said while punching the side of Ino's head.
She cried out in pain and fell to the floor. As she got up, Naruto escaped through the window in the corner.
"Ughhhh, NARUTO!" She shouted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...and then I punched her and jumped out the window. By the time I got out I was almost late for training with Jariya!"
"Wow, it's getting dangerous to be alone in this town now, huh Naruto?"
"No kidding." He said while looking at Sasuke. They continued talking for quite a while. Then Naruto yawned. Sasuke could see he was getting tired. "It's getting late Naruto, we should go home."
"Yeah. Hey do you have the time?"
Sasuke looked at his watch. "It's 11:25." (Sasuke has a watch?)
"Oh no!"
"What is it Naruto?"
"The owner of my apartment closes the gates at 11:00 sharp! She says it's to teach a lesson to the drunks in her building. I won't be able to get in till 5:00 in the morning!"
.: Naruto's apartment manger sounds like a smart person. But still... Maybe I should.. Nah, Naruto would be too uncomfortable. Well, I can always ask. :.
"Umm... Naruto? You could come to my place."
Naruto heard this and was silent for a couple of seconds.
.: Oh great now I've gone and done it. Now he's- :. Sasuke's thoughts were interrupted.
"That would be awesome!" Naruto said. "But uhhhh... Do you have a guest bedroom or something?"
.: Oh crap hadn't thought about were he would sleep :.
"Actually, I don't have a guest bedroom." He said slowly.
Silence. Naruto blushed.
.: Well this is uncomfortable :. Both of them thought.
"Ummm... But I do have extra blankets and pillows if you want to sleep on the floor."
"I guess that could work." Said Naruto, who was still blushing furiously.
"Ok. Let's go to my apartment." Sasuke said again slowly.
He started walking west and Naruto followed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wow! This is your apartment?!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Yeah, excuse the mess I didn't know anyone was coming over."
Naruto looked at Sasuke's apartment. .: Mess? What mess? This place is practically spotless! Wow it's so big. A dinning room, a living room a bathroom, a bedroom. He even has a weapon display case! Wow, that's a nice looking sword. My apartment looks like shack compared to this place. At my place all it has is a bathroom. the rest is just one big space with a stove and sink. Oh and the cockroaches :.
"Uhh... Naruto, here's the extra blankets and a pillow. You could sleep on the couch. I just thought of that."
Naruto turned around to see Sasuke in a white top with black sweat pants. His shirt was a little tight, showing off some of his muscles.
His hair was a bit sloppy with out the headband to help hold it up. He was holding a white blanket and a pillow.
"Oh thanks Sasuke." .:He looks hot. Really hot :.Naruto refrained from blushing, but just barely. He took the pillow and sheet and walked toward the couch. .: He looks hot in pj's I wonder- no, I shouldn't be thinking about that. Oh no thinking about it. What would he look like with those pj's off:. Naruto blushed. He took one look at the couch and had a valid excuse.
While Naruto was thinking, Sasuke was thinking too. .: How can I ask him this? 'Oh Naruto the couch is really uncomfortable, so why don't you share a bed with me?' Yeah, like he'd buy that he would probably get mad, he would have a good reason to :. Sasuke was frozen to the spot till he heard Naruto call him.
"Yes Naruto." He said calmly.
"Uhh... May be we could... I don't know, the couch looks really uncomfortable and your bed looks really big so..." His sentence trailed off.
Sasuke's mind finally clicked.
"You want to share a bed?" .: Please say yes! Please say yes:.
"Ummm... Yeah. If you're ok with it."
"Ummm... that's ok. My bed is big and we can both fit on it." .: It's true! So true! King size beds come in handy. :.
Naruto started walking back to Sasuke's room. .: Wow. Me in Sasuke's bed. How am I feeling about this? Happy? Sort of. Sacred. Definitely. He better not try anything, or so help me I'll-:.
"Oh are you allergic to cat's?"
.: That was really random. Where did Sasuke get that from:.
"No, I'm not. Why?"
"Because I have a cat."
"..." .: Sasuke. With a cat. I can see it now, him as a girl holding a cat. Hahahahaha! Not going to laugh. Out loud. :.
As Sasuke and Naruto walked into the bed room, a black cat walked out. .: So that's his cat huh? It looked cute. :.
"What's the cat's name?"
"Miaka."
"So it's a girl?"
"Yes."
As they walked over to the bed, Naruto was thankful for the darkness so Sasuke couldn't see him blushing.
Sasuke climbed into the large bed, while Naruto sat on the side. He gulped and finally climbed into bed.
He felt Sasuke's warm body next to his.
"Good night Naruto." Sasuke whispered as he gave Naruto a good night kiss.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry, but I did get them in bed together.
I'm such a tease!
-Fans revolt and throw rotten veggies and fruit-
Sorryyyyy!
