Chapter 6:

Sasuke's Mark

Naruto's diary:

I don't know what it was. But it was amazing. I guess you can call that my first kiss. For a first kiss it felt, like fireworks were bursting through me. If it weren't for those stupid ropes I would have pulled him close to me and never let him go. But he left, looking as though he did something wrong. I want to... to kiss him again. Again and again and again. My accidental kiss whith Sasuke never even came close to this feeling. What am I going to do if Neji stops talking to me? I need to talk to him first. And ... and let him know.

Is this wrong? God, I wish I knew.

-Uzamaki

Naruto stuffed his diary into a new hiding place under the mattress. Great, he wondered if that was where Neji hid his porn. If he had porn that was. Naruto was feeling better and he knew he was feeling better this quickly because of Kyuubi. Standing the blond stretched before opening his door and crossing the hall. He waited a moment at the door thinking about his choices. He could let it go and believe it was an accident. He could knock, or he would leave.

He knocked.

No response.

He knocked again.

Still nothing.

The blond opened the door quietly to be greeted by a pitch black room with a little bit of moonlight coming in through the window. Stepping inside he closed the door behind him and wandered to the figure laying in bed in the darkness. Naruto sat on the edge of the bed slowly as to not make a sound and smiled. He fingered the brunettes hair lightly but stiffened when a hand reached back and gripped his.

"What are you doing in my room?" Neji asked sleepily.

"Neji..." Naruto sighed, " I thought you were sleeping."

"No, Naruto" He said turning and laying on his back so he could look at the blond, " I was trying to get some sleep..."

"Neji I wanted to..."

"I'm sorry..." Neji said looking up at Naruto sleepily, " We'll talk about it later... just go back to bed for now."

"Uh... Alright.. Good-night.." the blond said before getting up slowly and leaving the room.

Neji was right to say they'd talk about it later. Mainly because it was time for bed and Naruto definately needed to sleep. Kyuubi had spent his time fighting off the flu virus along with Naruto's body. Hey, Kyuubi needed something to do right? As Naruto closed the bedroom door behind him he heard a low chuckle in his mind.

"Kit has a crush"

"Oh shut it Kyu-chan"

"Alright fine... just go to sleep will ya?"

"Yeah yeah I'm going"

Naruto sighed and went to his room and crawled in bed. He slid under the blankets and clsoed his eyes. Slowly, the blond drifted to sleep.

Naruto rested against a tree, eyes closed and ears listening to the soft breeze and the twittering of birds. His blond hair blew softly in the breeze, falling into his face.

"Oi, dobe! Finally I found you..."

That voice.

"Eh, shut it teme" Naruto said opening his eyes to stare up at Sasuke.

"What are you doing?"

"Sleeping, what does it look like I'm doing?"

"Wake up, Naruto..." Sasuke said, leaning down to the blond's lips.

"Wha-!?"

Naruto woke to the sound of a click and sat up in the darkness. Touching his lips, Naruto looked around. I seemed so empty but as he turned his eyes toward his bedroom door he found two red eyes staring at him. His breath hitched but as soon as he went to reach for a kunai that red eyes figure had him quickly and quietly pinned agaisnt the bed. I leaned forward, smirking softly.

"Naruto..." The voice breathed over his lips.

"S-sasuke?" Naruto whispered.

"Who else, dobe..." Sasuke sounded amused.

"What are you doing here? What do you want?" The blond asked nervously, "I thought you went to Orochimaru."

Naruto growled out the last part causing Sasuke to chuckle.

"I am with him dobe, but I came back only to find you all cuddly close with that damned Hyuuga,"

"Why would I be? I like him and it's not like you care who I date or like, "

" I thought you knew..., " Sasuke's lips grazed the soft spot on Naruto's neck causing the boy to sigh and tilt his head.

Naruto sighed again not able to ask Sasuke anything the only thing he managed was the Uchiha's name.

" Sasuke..."

Sasuke smirked and bit down on Naruto's neck, sucking at it and the bit of blood that came out. The Uchiha backed off and looked at his masterpiece.

"I wanted to stop by and tell you... You're mine" This time Sasuke's voice was harsh, " And if he tries to take you from me... I'll kill him"

Sasuke hissed, his words like venom in Naruto's ear.

"Sasuke I'm not-" the blond was cut off with a rough kiss that quickly vanished.

Naruto laid there, the window clicking to note Sasuke's departure. He was after all under a time limit with Orochimaru.

'Was I dreaming?'

Naruto calmed his heavy breathing before lightly touching his neck, wincing at the soreness.

In the morning Naruto woke to a dull feeling. He was thinking too hard and sleep had left him shortly after Sasuke, or the figment of his imagination that looked like Sasauke, left. Naruto walked like a zombie to the kitchen and searched the cabinets for a small shot glass. When he finally found one he poured a bit of sake in it and chugged it.

"Naruto?" A female voice called.

"Eh? Morning Shizune..."

"Are you okay? Hey! You're not supposed to be drinking alcohol!" She scolded, taking the sake from him.

"Sorry... I'll leave you to cook... I'll wake Neji.." he smiled, putting on his best and fake.

"Naruto? Are you sure you're okay?" Shizune asked but recieved no answer.

Naruto faked his smiles when he wasn't truely happy or even when he wasn't feeling well but didn't want people to know. He knocked on Neji's door softly and waited. He knocked again but a bit harder after he recieved no response.

"Fine... I'm coming in!" He called as he opened the door and went into the brunette's room.

Neji lay in a peaceful bliss, a note laying next to his bed. Naruto went over and read it.

'Sasuke' Naruto growled and crumpled up the note and jammed it into his pocket.

The note had been a warning. So Sasuke had been there long enough to write and leave a note. It simple was telling Neji to stay away from what didn't belong to him. In truth Naruto didn't even belong to Sasuke. Stupid Uchiha pride and shit. Though the stupid Uchiha's seemed to claim what wasn't rightfully theirs. Idiots.

"Neji..." Naruto called softly.

ZzZzZz

"Neji get up" Naruto called a little more harshly.

ZzZzZzZzZzZz

"Hyuuga Neji! Get up now!" Naruto said thwacking him on the head with two fingers.

Neji's eyes opened up, a vein throbbing on his forehead, " Naruto!" he growled.

"Looks like your awake finally" Naruto said putting his grin on.

"Why did you hit me!?" Neji said turning over on his back and glaring up at the blond who was smiling.

"You didn't wake up..."

"So you hit me!"

"Yup.."

"Ugh! Uzamaki, I'm going to kill you!" Neji said getting up from his bed and pouncing on the blond.

Naruto fell from the weight of Neji and screamed like a girl. Trying as best as he could to keep Neji from punching him and from seeing the mark that was on his neck. Neji glared daggers at the blond beneath him until he finally pinned said blonds hands above his head.

"You are so lucky I don't kill you right now, Naruto" Neji said,

Trying hard to hold his blush back Naruto cloudn't and his face lit up like a christmas tree. He tilted his head to the side and scrunched up his nose in shame. Neji chuckled slightly and touched Naruto's shoulder close to his neck. The blond suddenly winced, catching the Hyuuga by surprise.

"Are you okay?" he asked before tilting Naruto's head to look at him.

"So it wasn't a dream..." Naruto murmured to himself, looking away from Neji ashamed.

"What was that?" Neji blinked.

"Nothing!" Naruto smiled.

Sasuke walked through the tunnel toward Orochimaru's chamber's he was suppsoed to be back an hour ago and yet he took his sweet time coming back. He smirked at the way Naruto had moaned his name without barely realizing it. He couldn't get that sound from playing in his head and even though he tried to kill said blond he couldn't help but want him. He had been aware for sometime that he couldn't kill him but he could always care for him. Maybe even love him. Naruto would be his and if Neji got in his way he'd kill that stupid boy.

Kabuto greeted Sasuke and pushed up his glasses, " What took you so long? You said you'd be back in a few hours not a day."

"Hn..." Sasuke said before barging into Orochimaru's chambers.

"You know it's not nice to barge into someones room with out knocking," the snake man mused.

"Whatever..." Sasuke rolled his eyes and sat down at the olders vanity.

Orochimaru smiled his creepy smile and placed his hands on Sasuke's shoulders, "What is is? Find something you didn't like?"

"I would advise you to keep the humor out of your voice" Sasuke glared, removing those creepy hands on his shoulders.

"I'll take that as a yes" He smirked and fingered Sasuke's hair.

"It's none of your business!" He snapped.

"Ah, but it is" Orochimaru smiled, tilitng the Uchiha's chin up, " Because you see... you are mine.. you obey me."

Sasuke turned his head and looked at the ground, " Leave me alone..."

With that Sasuke got up and left the room to go to his own quarters. What he wanted now was to be alone.

Kabuto stared at Sasuke as he left. Orochimaru sighed blissfully and stepped next to his right hand man.

" I think our little Uchiha is heart broken" He snickered.

"That would explain his unually bad temper, " Kabuto smirked.

"Hey Naruto... mind telling me why I found you drinking sake a moment ago," Shi9zune asked, her eyes looking downward to watch her footing as he enetered Neji's room.

When she looked up, she gasped and damn near dropped the tray she was holding.

"Am I interrupting something?" She smirked.

Neji's head shot up, " No, I was simply about to kill him for giving me a rude awakening..."

"I see... Anywyas are you going to answer me Naruto?" She asked setting the tray down on the table.

"Hm what was the question?" Naruto asked as Neji got off him.

"Why were you drinking sake?"

"You were drinking!?" Neji shot a glare at the blond laying on the floor.

"It's nothing.." The blond said sitting up with a sigh.

"Nothing my foot..." Neji glared.

"Well if you won't tell me then Tsunade will have to take with you..."

"Bring it on there's nothing Baa-chan can do" Naruto sighed and stood, " I'm not hungry go ahead and eat."

Naruto then left the room and grabbed a towel from the hall closet. He started toward the hot spring with a sigh. What he needed now was a nice hot bath to relax his tense muscles.

Shizune and Neji stared at each other then at the door for awhile before they spoke.

"Somehting's definately wrong..." Shizune said softly.

"Yeah... maybe Lady Tsunade should talk to him." Neji said, sitting on his bed.

"Well you eat up and I'll be back with Tsunade as soon as possible," Shizune bowed slightly before rushing out to go talk to Tsunade about Naruto's strange behavior.

"Please be okay..." Neji sighed before he began to eat.
