Chapter 5

Sasuke was off the floor faster then the name slipped threw his lips. His tabi socks caused him to slip on the hard wood floors of the hall as he hurriedly made his way to the front door. Impatiently, he took a short cut, jumping over the living room couch and catching his foot on the top of it. He twisted his body, safely landing on the couch cushion instead of the hard wood floor. Sasuke rolled off the couch, quickly getting back to his wild run. Again, he was cut off as he tripped over his brothers discarded jacket.

Picking himself up off the floor, Sasuke pushed himself to the door. He grasped the knob pulling the door open and ran out on to the dock, shooting out in to the ocean. Sasuke ran carelessly, yet carefully not to fall in to the chilling water below the docks. Reaching the end he fell to his knees. His breath came out in short wisps. Not from the running. From the suprise, robbing the breath from him. Sasuke closed his eyes, tightly. When he left the cold moist hands upon his own Sasuke opened his eyes staring in to Kokoshin's pale face.

"K-Kokoshin...," Sasuke mubbled her name. Kokoshin smiled, softly.

"Sasuke...," She said, saying his name. Sasuke nodded slowly.

"How'd you find- why are you?" He asked, trying to sort out his thoughts that refused to stop pounding on the inside of his head until they were answered.

"I come threw secret underwater cave," She said. "I see you in..." She blinked, not knowing the word. Sasuke blinked thinking about what she could have seen him in. He waited a minute before wanting to hit himself for not getting it.

"Oh, right. Bed. You saw me in my bed," Sasuke said. "I was going to go to sleep when I heard you." Sasuke shifted from his knees to siting back on the wooden dock ignoring the cold, almost wet feel threw his pajama bottoms. "Why are you here?" Sasuke asked.

Kokoshin giggled. "I want see you," She said. She pulled herself up on the dock beside Sasuke. Sasuke's eyes followed her surprised.

"To see...Me?" He asked. He watched her head nod a couple times before coming to rest on his shoulder.

"Warm," She said quietly closing her eyes. Sasuke felt his cheeks heat up from the contact.

"Uh, yeah...," He said. "Warm." He stared down at her still fighting his surprise. He felt some of the water she carried up when she came on the dock seep threw his clothes. "You're...Kinda getting me wet...," He said without thinking. He watched Kokoshin's eyes snap open and she shot away from Sasuke.

"I sorry! I sorry!" She exclaimed looking at his wet pants and shirt. "I sorry!" She said again. Her aqua colored eyes looked moist like she was going to cry, sweeping Sasuke with regret for saying that. He put his hands up in defense.

"No, no!" He said. "It's okay, really! I didn't mean it like that!" He exclaimed. He lowered his hands and let out a breath seeing her face lighten up.

"It...Ok? Kokoshin not do bad?" She asked. Sasuke shook his head.

"No, Kokoshin didn't do bad," He said calmly. He saw Kokoshin's smile start to come out and had the funny urge to smile back as well. Luckily, he caught himself before he did such a thing. He heard something and turned his head towards the house. His eyes widened.

His brother's light was on.

Sasuke's hole day of school was horrible. He was down right embarrassed about what happened that night after Itachi caught him out of bed. What was worse was that Itachi told Kakashi. And for all Sasuke knew, Itachi could have told his friends. Kakashi his co-workers. And soon...everyone would think...

Sasuke didn't wanna think about it. But it bubbled up to his mind anyway.

Sasuke's breath quickened. "I have to go!" He said hurriedly to Kokoshin. Kokoshin gave him a worried look which Sasuke didn't miss. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. It's only my brother, but if he sees you-" Sasuke broke off.

Kokoshin had slid back in to the water worried.

"I'll come back to see you tomorrow. Late noon," Sasuke said breathlessly standing up. Kokoshin nodded slowly and dived under water. Sasuke watched for a second before running inside. He closed the door locking it up before runing towards his room. Before he could get to his room, however he was stopped by his older brother. Itachi raised an eyebrow at his little brother. Sasuke watched, anxiously as Itachi's eyes roamed his body. The smirk on Itachi's face made him shiver.

"Why...Little brother...," Itachi started. Sasuke knew, by the tone in his voice, he wouldn't like this. "I wasn't aware you wet the bed." Sasuke knew it.

His face flushed red. "I-I did not wet the bed!" The short snicker from Itachi made his face heat up even more.

"Don't worry baby brother. I won't tell anyone. Your secret is safe with me."

However, Sasuke's secret was not safe with Itachi. Itachi loved torturing Sasuke and Sasuke knew this well. So, the next morning when he walked into the kitchen to hear Itachi re-telling his encounter with the wet pantsed Sasuke, telling his own twisted tale of the accounts, it didn't surprise Sasuke one bit. Yet, it embarrassed him pleanty.

As soon as the last period bell rang Sasuke was out the class room door and going straight for his locker. He shoved his books in and slammed the locker shut before spinning on his heal and coming face to face with bright blue cerulean eyes.

Naruto stared at him with a grin. "Hey, Sasuke," He said. Sasuke opened and closed his mouth for a moment.

"Uh, hey, Naruto," He managed to say. Wasn't Naruto's class on the other side of the school? He didn't really have anything against Naruto. Sure, he thought Naruto was an idiot, and a dork, and loud and obnoxious, and hell he was down right annoying, but Sasuke knew Naruto had a heart of gold and was one of the only decent guys in the school. He was embarrassed and yet, proud to call Naruto his best friend.

"I haven't seen you all week. Where've you been running off to?" Naruto asked. Sasuke shrugged, shaking his head.

"No where, really,"

"Well, what are you doing today after school?" He asked. Sasuke swallowed. He tried to look like he was thinking about what he had today today, but really his was thinking how he should tell Naruto he couldn't. Being Naruto's only friend made it difficult for him to say no. He knew how lonely Naruto was. His parents dead, much like Sasuke's, he had no friends, neither did Sasuke but that was because he didn't really want any where as Naruto was picked on almost daily.

"I..." Sasuke paused. He seemed to see Naruto's eyes sink for a moment. Like Naruto knew Sasuke was going to say no. Like he knew Sasuke really had nothing going on. "Can we meet in about an hour?" Sasuke asked quickly. He watched Naruto's eyes light up.

"Uh...Yeah, sure." Was the blonde's responce, his smile returning. Sasuke gave an akaward smile, but Naruto ignored it. The attempt was enough for him.

"Alright, so...Meet at your house in an hour?" Sasuke asked. Naruto nodded.

"I'll see you then," Naruto said. Sasuke nodded and gave a small wave before running off. He let out a breath and cursed. He hoped this plan would work.

I know...You're all probably wondering what the hell is wrong with me. Two updates, in one day? Holy shit. Right? Haha yeah. I'm bored so...I'm finishing this thing up and getting it out of the way. ... Thats such a horrid thing to say, isn't it?
