A/N:OHMAHGEEZUZ. GOMENNNNNNNN D: I haven't updated in sooo long :'( I was going through a rough patch, not to mention a writer's block. So once again sorry. . so anyways new chap-i-ter. 8D

'I won't think of Sasuke… I won't think of Sasuke. But wait, by trying to not think about him, I'm telling myself to not think of him… causing me to think of him…' "GAH!" Naruto interjected, thinking aloud. What sort of mind tricks had Sasuke done to him? He never thought this much about the Uchiha, intentional or not, in…well, ever. But that didn't matter. He shook his head pushing his thoughts on the subject aside. 'Seomaru…Seomaru…' he thought. Although he'd threatened Sasuke he'd run off with Seomaru, Naruto knew he wouldn't, rather…couldn't, do it. Seomaru was nice. In fact, he was perfect. Yet for some reason, Naruto never felt the same… energy around him, like he did with Sasuke. He figured he'd just walk up to Seomaru, get some advice, calm himself down, and then sort it out with Sasuke. Simple ri-

Naruto's thoughts were interrupted by Sasuke grabbing hold of him. 'I knew I should have kept running…' he thought with an eye roll.

"Naruto, I know why you might have thought I said those things that I don't remember saying."

"Ok, fancy me with your inquiry."

"I think…Seomaru might have cut off his hair in order to look like me."

"And what would his motives be for doing such? What would he gain?"

Sasuke hyperventilated from running to catch up with him. He said sternly between huffs, "You." Naruto blinked and shot his head back in a mixture of shock and disbelief.

"What do you mean, 'me'?"

"Seomaru's not the angel you think he is. He's…invidious… Sanctimonious. He's evil for god's sake. Don't believe one word, or action that comes from that moth-"

"Hey guys! What're we talkin' about?" Seomaru butted in, seemingly coming from nowhere.

"wah? Seomaru!" Sasuke spat.

"The one and only!" he said, stepping a bit closer. "So…. What's this about me being spiteful and what not?" A small shiver sped up Sasuke's spine. Pushing all random fear aside, Sasuke spoke up. "What happened to your hair." Seomaru's smile fled as he realized Sasuke knew the truth. His smile returned immediately after realizing Naruto, the king in this game of shoji, still was none the wiser.

"Sasuke… what are you talking about?"

"Don't play stupid with me, you know… exactly… what I'm talking about. You cut your hair to look like me and trick Naruto!"

"Yes Otouto, then I magically grew it back in a matter of hours. That's EXACTLY what happened." Naruto raised an eyebrow further pondering the matter.

"heh….." Sasuke looked Naruto's way. "And to think I believed you for a minute… to think that I thought of forgiving you… when will I ever learn." Naruto shook his head with a smile neither Uchiha believed.

"N-Naruto, I-"

"save it bastard, I'm done. With your shit, with you. Done."

"Naruto, are you ok? Want to talk about it over some tea?" Seomaru said, trying his upmost best to repress his grin. Naruto looked at the ground, at Seomaru, then Sasuke.

"I'd love to." He said, glaring at Sasuke making sure he felt the weight of his pain, before turning around and leaving with Seomaru. Sasuke stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly into the dirt Naruto had been firmly planted on just a second ago. It seemed so cold.

"Hey there, lover boy." Sasuke shook himself from his thoughts and looked to the source of the call. A girl, probably a few years younger swaggered over with a devilish, almost lustful look in her eyes. 'Another fangirl? This is NOT what I need right now…" Sasuke scoffed and turned his head back. In the blink of an eye, the girl stood before him.

"Who are you and what do you want?" He said in his usual 'Dealing with a fangirl' voice.

"Oh, Sasuke-kun~" she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and got inches away from face. "You're always so stoic when it comes to girls." She said, lust tracing her voice to every decibel. Sasuke's face cringed. "All I want is for you to be happy~… so help me, to help you. I have a plan to get Naruto all to yourself.~" she let go of his collar and starred at him intensely.

"What's the catch?"

"Oh, no-no-no Sasuke you misunderstood. There's no catch. You perfect my plan, we put it into action and Naruto's all yours.~" Sasuke knew he didn't have much to lose at this point, yet part of his brain was still reluctant to comply.

"And why should I trust you. What do you get out of this deal?"

"Your happiness… and the opportunity to see Seomaru squirm like the spineless larva he is."

"Woah… grudge, much?"

"We have… history. So to speak." A smile graced Sasuke's face. He knew there was an ulterior motive, and it was a positive one. A win/win scenario.

"alright. You have a deal… by the way, what's your name, since you obviously know mine."

"Koohei. Koohei-ni Tadashi.~"
