Chapter 9: Teaching

"You're kind of like a dictionary, because you add meaning to my life"

Sasuke snorted at Naruto. "That was cheesy dobe."

Naruto glared at Sasuke and lightly jab him on the ribs. "Girls like that kind of thing."

"Hey, what are you two arguing about?" Kiba run towards the blond man and tackle him, in return Naruto gave him a whack on the head. "The hell Kiba."

Sasuke rolled his eyes as he watched the two idiots scuffle on the sofa like two five years old in a sand box. "The dobe is lecturing me about pick up lines."

Having enough of the fight, he pulled Naruto by the collar and put him at his other side where Kiba couldn't reach him. The blond pouted at that, because he was just about to win a great fight. "…and his pick up lines sucks."

"Did not."

"Did too."

"Fine. Here's another one. 'I'm lost, can I follow you home? Take that'." Naruto cheekily pointed a finger at Sasuke beckoning him to counter his attack. "That was lame." Both Kiba and Sasuke exclaimed.

"What?! It was cute." Naruto looked at both of them with shock.

"Yeah for a serial killer. Follow you home?! Who the hell would not freak with that?" Kiba laugh aloud and smirked at the blond.

"Can I borrow a quarter?" Kiba looked expectantly at Sasuke who only looked at him like was on crack but he just smiled anyway. "…cause I promised my mom I would call her when I met the girl of my dreams. That, my friend is a sure thing pick up line."

"That is as lame as the dobe." Naruto nod vigorously not minding for the first time he and Sasuke agreed on something. "Che this is fucking impossible."

Kiba pride was hurt. He used that line so many times and look at him now…well fine he didn't have a girl now. Alright, fine, he still hadn't had a girl friend till now but that line still kick ass. "Well see if you can come up with a better line, princess."

"If you were a booger I'd pick you." Naruto snorted at that while Sasuke smirked at him. "What? It was very original."

"That sucks much worst than mine and Naruto, Uchiha."

"Have a better one?"

"Sure. 'I was so enraptured with your beauty that I ran into a wall. So I will need your name and number, for insurance purposes'. Beat that, teme."

Kiba made a falling gesture as he clutched his chest as if he was having a heart attack. "Urghh…that was horrible Naruto." A choking sound was heard courtesy of the dog breath, which only infuriated the blond more. "I still have one dog-breath. 'Excuse me sexy but do you have a license to drive me this crazy?"

"Oh nooooo! The cheesy attack continues." Kiba made a gagging sound.

"As if you can do better fucktard." Naruto sneer at Kiba while the other leaned towards the two focusing his whole attention at Naruto. Naruto on the other hand leaned closer defiantly; the only entity separating their faces was Sasuke. "That shirt's cute, but it would look better on the floor of my bed room."

Naruto blushed slightly and whacked Kiba on the head earning him a punch on the face. Sasuke on the other hand was fighting both stray hands hitting his way. It wasn't good to be in between two fighting morons so he did what he was supposed too. He slammed both Naruto's and Kiba's head with each other. That silenced them up.

Kiba clutched his throbbing head and cursed Sasuke to hell. He was about to punch the prick when a fist landed on his cheek instead. He blinked twice as he realized that the fist that just smacked him on the face was Naruto's who was aiming at Sasuke but unwittingly landed on him instead. Angered by that he leaped off his seat towards the blond only to be jab at the stomach by an elbow courtesy of the raven who was about to punch the blond but hit the poor Kiba on the process.

Kiba fell down the couch with a loud thud but the two other occupants was too busy to notice as each one tried punching the day lights off each other, although every hit didn't reach the opponent since the two counter every attack with accuracy. It was mere dance to them.

Shikamaru on the other hand was quite infuriated on what was going on. This was his house after all. He didn't want anything breaking. "Naruto, get here and help me with this pasta."

"Che. We'll settle this at home, teme" Naruto who was still holding Sasuke by the collar snarl between his teeth. He reluctantly let go of the raven disheveled shirt and stood up but before he did Sasuke who was still clutching his front shirt pulled him down and leaned towards his ear.

"Your lips look lonely, they should meet mine." Words where huskily whispered.

Sasuke: 2 points. Naruto: zero.

"Bastard."

RULER RULER RULER

"Hey teme would you…" Sasuke groan lowly and handed Naruto the soy sauce, in return the blond smiled at him sweetly and the raven couldn't help but roll his eyes. Sasuke spooned his miso and cringed at the blandness of the food. "Dobe…"

Naruto glanced at Sasuke and frowned, on which the raven glared at him. "Fine teme. Here." Naruto handed Sasuke the salt on which the raven hastily grabbed and poured one fourth of its content on his soup on earning a vigorous head shake from the blond. "Teme! That's too much salt! I told you to lay low on the salt. It can cause hypertension."

"Says who, FHM magazine?"

"Well…"

A smirked grace Sasuke's face as the fuming blond shut his mouth in annoyance. A pregnant pause made Sasuke resolve crumble. "Fine dobe, you win…want something to drink?"

Naruto perked up and gave a pouty kissing gesture. Sasuke only snort at the act and threw a napkin at Naruto's face earning a teasing smile at the blond. "Get my favorite." "Fine, dobe."

Kiba who was witchingly the whole act painfully growled at Naruto who was staring at the departing raven. "What the hell was that?"

"What was, 'what'?" Naruto turn his face toward his friend in a puzzled frown. "That!" Kiba growled hotly not really knowing how to elaborate what he meant. Shikamaru sigh loudly at the slightly annoyed Kiba and a very oblivious Naruto. "Kiba meant the whole mind reading thing. We could not even catch up what the hell you two were talking about. You simply didn't finish your own sentences but the other simply gets what you mean."

"Oh."

"Don't just say 'oh', ramen-breath."

"Well what can I say were soulmates maybe."

Kiba eyes became grotesque huge and couldn't help putting his hand towards his open mouth. "That's the gay-est thing I've ever heard." The dog boy shook his head in disgust.

"Troublesome as always. Naruto you just met him. Even I couldn't reach that level with you…you never opened up li…" The presence of Sasuke abruptly halted Shikamaru on what he was going to say to the blond. Damn! It's been so long since they hand talk like this. He thought it was thing of the past but it seems like having Sasuke's presence just brought the past once more. He knew something was up. Naruto knew something…or whatever…that the blond was hiding from them. He sighed loudly at that notion.

Sasuke glance at the silent trio on the table and felt that he had entered the room in the wrong time. "Hey, what did I miss?" Sitting beside the blond Sasuke handed Naruto his drink on which the blond receive impassively.

Kiba not feeling the awkwardness of the situation continued terrorizing the blond. "Hey Naruto. Gaara knows about this, right?"

Sasuke hearing the name perked up and frown at the dog boy. The name sounded familiar and he didn't like it a bit. "Who's Gaara?" He calmly asked Kiba although his eyes never left Naruto's face.

"Naruto's gay benefactor." Naruto's eyes almost popped out as he almost choke on what he was drinking. He shot a menacing glare at a grinning Kiba. "WHAT THE HELL?!"

"What? It's true."

"He's just my boss."

Kiba grin wider as the fuming blond went from tan to pale then to crimson. He never knew a person could change so much color in a few seconds. "See! His giving you money."

"That's because I'm working for him dimwit! An unemployed bum couldn't possibly know what an employee-employer relationship works." Naruto huff and pointed an accusing finger at Kiba.

Kiba only snorted. "See you even said 'relationship'. Come on Naruto you know Gaara has a thing for you in his own 'I'm-asexual-but-I-think-your-cute-Naruto' way. No sane employer could ever hire you Naruto only a demented red hair did." True, Naruto did have the hardest time landing a job simply because he was raise as an orphan with no family wanting to adopt him. He also had difficulty at school with him having very short attention span. But damn, Kiba shouldn't have said it that lightly. It pains Naruto to remember all that.

Kiba who was mentally berating himself from lashing at the blond just now. He didn't know what came over him. He felt angry after hearing the blond saying Sasuke is his soul mate. He was his closest friend for fuck sake! Then again Naruto is always been like fragile glass…and 'that topic' was always been avoided by Naruto and him. "Naruto…I'm sor…oh my god your bleeding!"

Naruto glanced at where Kiba was pointing and was shocked upon realizing that he was clutching the fork tightly piercing his flesh on the process. Realization socks him and soon pain registered on his tiny brain. "WHAAAAAAAA OUCH OUCH!! OUCH!!"

"Dobe, lemme see." Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hand and studied the wound. Shikamaru, the most sensible person in the room, handed the raven the medicine kit on which the Sasuke receive with thanks. He proceeded to cleanse the wound with some clean cotton and was relieved to see that most are just superficial abrasion and only one deep puncture on which the blond would live. He then proceeded to apply antiseptic and bandage to Naruto's hand. "There." Sasuke look up at Naruto smiling. "Does it still hurt my little cry baby?" Sasuke make a cooing sound and face while he held Naruto's hand close to his face.

Naruto angrily pulled his injured hand away and gave Sasuke the 'finger' with the other, giving Sasuke a sneer. Sasuke smiled genuinely at the blond and ruffle his hair. "That's my boy. Come on let's go home."

"Kiba!" Naruto smiled at the dishearten man and gave him the flip earning him a smug smile from the dog breath. Glad the balance was once again restored. "Bye Shika!"

"Che! Troublesome."

"Come on dobe." Naruto wave at his two friends as Sasuke took his hand and literally drag off. "Thanks for the meal."

Outside Naruto happily skipped on his every step, grinning like a cat that ate the canary. "Hey Sasuke can you take me for a ride in your hot car?"

Sasuke glanced at his grinning companion and was glad that the blond has such short attention span and the fight Kiba and him had had been forgotten. He shook his head, he wonder if it was luck or a curse. Still… "Dobe, you do know I don't have a car."

Naruto still grinning lean closer to Sasuke, lips near the raven's ear and whispered huskily. "Ok, how about you just ride me instead…"

Sasuke felt shivers run down his spine as he watched the blond do some weird victory dance waving both hands in the air. Damn! He got him there.

Now the score was getting interesting. Sasuke: 2, Naruto: 1.

Naruto on the middle of his very sensual and exotic victory dance stop at his track abruptly as a pink haired woman stared at him in disgust. He felt himself paling from head to too. He was rooted to the spot when Sakura reluctantly walk towards him. "Naru…Oh my god! Sasuke?!"

Naruto felt Sasuke bump onto him and he glance back at the smiling raven oblivious to Naruto's inner turmoil. "Dobe, come on." A tug jolted Naruto from his shock.

"It is you. Sasuke-kun." Sasuke look at the gushing girl who suddenly materialize in front of him.

"Do I know you?"

:TSUZUKU:

Sasuke: What the hell? Sakura?! I thought that she won't be appearing till..ten more chapters!! What the hell were you thinking?!

LateSleeper: Cause your getting all over Naru-chan. Pervert! I had to make you keep your hand to yourself or my poor Naru-chan would be devirginized before the whole story is over.

Sasuke: That's the point moron!

LateSleeper: Oh! Can I video you while doing it?
