Chapter 4

My Secret and My Wish

We were walking through the thick growth of trees. Only small beams of pure sunlight made its way through the congestion of leaves above our heads. It has been about ten minutes since I kissed Naruto and we started walking through the forest yet the taste of his lips still lingered on mine. Plus, I was still holding his hand.

It surprised me that the moron had not said anything about why we've been taking so long to get to this place he doesn't even know about. Well, quite frankly, as far as I'm concerned, not another soul knows about this place besides me. And that's how it was going to stay. Only exception would be Naruto. No duh.

My mind pondered what his reaction would be when he saw this place. When I first saw it, years ago with my mother, I was in awe. The beauty of the place left me absolutely speechless. I had never seen something so amazing in my life. The only thing that came close to its beauty, in my eyes at least, was my dobe. Hehe. And that's saying something.

Finally, I saw the light at the end of the trail. We were here. Glancing over at Naruto, I noticed he wasn't even looking straight ahead anymore. His eyes and attention were captured by something off in the distance so before I pulled him into the clearing I stopped. He seemed surprised at my sudden action and looked at me.

"What?" The idiot asked. I nodded my head in the direction of the place. Almost automatically he let go of my hand and walked towards the arch in the trees that lead there. I walked in step with him and stopped as soon as he did. There it was. A smirk crept onto my face as I saw his expression change from a bored one to one of pure awe and admiration. I liked watching him take in everything.

In front of us was a humongous tree. Its trunk was at least fifty feet wide at the diameter and the roots elegantly intertwined with the grassy ground it lay in. Above our heads the branches reached out in every direction, making it hard to realize when this tree ended and another began. The leaves were a rich green color; they stood out magnificently against the bright blue sky and the duller looking leaves on the other trees.

What? Aren't you amazed yet!?! Haha, good. I'm getting to the best part now. The flowers. They were a splash of black and white with swirls of red and blue along the edges. These flowers didn't exist anywhere else in the universe. Seeing them always left me breathless.

Suddenly one fell from a branch and landed on Naruto's head. He didn't even notice it. Laying a little above his right ear it looked like he had put it there himself. Haha, it was cute.

Wait. Still don't think it's amazing yet? Exactly. The thing that ties this together and kept everyone but me from seeing this was the chakra surrounding it. No, not just the presence of the chakra, the visible chakra. It was bright blue and spiraled around the trunk of the tree then continued twisting around each individual branch. The sight was something that constantly reminded me of the beauty of nature. And yet…even this is nothing in comparison to Naruto. Even now I still think he's the most beautiful thing in existence; and he was all mine.

"It's…" The dobe began.

"Beautiful?" I finished. He just nodded in response. A laugh escaped my lungs that caused him to snap out of his semi-trance.

"What?" He asked innocently.

"Heh…nothing, baka."

"Hey!" All I could do was laugh. He was too cute! Damnit…

"You know," I walked towards the tree and let the chakra flow through my hand, feeling the silkiness of the power and calmness it held. "I used to come here all the time when I wanted to be alone but lately…there's no reason for me to want to be alone."

"What's that?" He honestly didn't realize I was talking about him! Wait…there's a reaction. I think some gears are starting to turn in his mind. The dobe opened his mouth to say something and…! Nothing. He really was a moron.

"Who else?" A finger tapped on his chin while he tried to figure it out, then all of a sudden something must have clicked because he smiled hugely then blushed. An eyebrow rose subconsciously while I watched.

"Me…?"

"No shit Sherlock." Something tugged at the side of my lip, causing me to smirk, when he turned as red as a tomato.

"Uh…thanks?" It was obvious he didn't really know what else to say.

"Heh…moron. Listen, don't tell anyone about this place, okay?" Naruto just nodded. An idea popped into my head. "You want to feel the chakra?" He looked at me hesitantly then at the blue streams flowing around the tree and another nod formed through his uncertainty. I reached out and pulled him closer to the tree and me. Placing my hand over his I put our hands into the river.

I watched his reaction. A smile formed on the delicate features of his face. His bright blue eyes, which seemed even brighter than the chakra, were filled with astonishment and disbelief.

"Sasuke…it feels so…different. Nothing like anything I've ever felt before." He took his hand out of the flow and continued talking. My mind wanders the other meanings I wished that those words held. Hehe…no! I mentally smacked myself. No bad thoughts! Not yet at least…hehe. "Why doesn't this exist anywhere else?"

"My mom created it." His eyes widened.

"Really?" I nodded and reached over to get the flower out of his hair. Its silky smooth petals felt like sandpaper against Naruto's golden locks. Regardless, I twirled it between my thumb and index finger, staring at the swirls as they moved in a hypnotic pattern.

"Yep. She always loved nature and created this one day when she was younger. I got to see it for the first time when I was five years old and have been coming back ever since."

"Wow."

"…"

"…"

"So you want to head back? It's getting late." The suggestion was just merely to fill the silence but I didn't plan on his agreeing. Oh well…

We headed back through the forest, hand in hand. He was jabbering the entire way about random stuff. I sent him an occasional smirk, glare, or laugh so he knew I was paying attention even though I mostly wasn't. Hehe….

Before I realized it we were back by his apartment. When we go to the door I noticed that it was slightly opened but Naruto, being the dobe that he was, just waltzed right in, not even taking notice. My guard went up but faltered again when I saw who it was. Great…what does he want?

"Hey guys." The man sitting on Naruto's couch asked nonchalantly. He smiled, I think but when he wears that mask all the time it's hard to tell!

"What do you want Kakashi-sensei?" The words came out almost like a growl. He doesn't need to be here right now, he's just being an ass and an annoyance showing up in places he is obviously not wanted in. The silver haired jonin just raised an eyebrow at the semi-threat that was hidden in my attitude.

"What, a sensei can't stop by to say hi to one of his favorite students without getting scolded by another of his favorite students?"

"No." I answered coldly.

"That's not nice!" He whined and I sweat dropped. Baka…

"Sucks for you. Now get out."

"I'm not sure if you realize this Sasuke but this is Naruto's apartment, not yours."

"Yeah, and? Normal people don't go around breaking into people's house uninvited."

"Hmmm…true but I had to tell him something that I also had to tell you so having you both here makes it all the much easier!" He turned to Naruto. "Do you remember Kabuto?" I saw Naruto cringe when he recognized the name.

"Yeah." The blond answered through clenched teeth. "Why?" Kakashi sighed.

"He kidnapped Hinata and Sakura this morning." We looked at him like he was crazy.

"WHAT?!? That's not even possible! How? I saw Sakura this morning! Why would he take them? Why???" The panic was taking over Naruto and I could tell he wanted to kill Kabuto. Wait…wasn't he supposed to be dead already?

"Naruto calm down." The masked teacher ordered. Naruto did not want to listen.

"NO! I have to go save them NOW!" He turned to me, "Sasuke, come on. Let's go." The moron actually started to walk to the door so I grabbed his hand and pulled him back, getting a glare in return. His eyes had turned a piercing orange-red color and tears were streaked down his face. That's it. I don't care that Kakashi is still sitting there looking at us. Pulling his closer I kissed him. I kissed him so he would calm down, so that for at least a moment he would forget about what he just heard, and so that I could taste his lips again.

When I pulled away his eyes had turned back to the bright blue that they normally were but a frown was still on his face.

"Well, that was different." The comment came from Kakashi. I think he was smiling while I kissed Naruto…pervert. A glare was shot in his direction from me while Naruto turned around and blushed.

"Shut up perv and tell us what's going on." A chuckle escaped his covered lips but then he became serious.

"We aren't sure what his reasons were and we have no idea how he could have made it into The Hidden Leaf undetected. Tsunade figured the best people to send on the rescue mission would have been you two plus Inuzuka but he's on another mission. The next choice was Shikamaru or Choji but they have another mission as well. The last choice is Neji. We didn't want to send him originally since he just recently got back from an escorting mission but since he is Hinata's cousin we thought it would be best. Plus, his Byakugan would really help locating them where our trackers lost the trail. So the three of you will be leaving for the mission tomorrow morning. Neji already knows and the Hokage said she will brief you guys tomorrow at the gates before we leave."

"We?" I asked, unsure of whether he meant Naruto and me or him and us.

"Oh, and I'll be coming with." Aw shit. Having Neji was bad enough.

"Why? Two of us are Jonin and we've got one Chunin, isn't that good enough?" He raised an eyebrow skeptically.

"Tsunade-sama wants me to go so I can use my dogs to help us track."

"Oh…"

"Yeah, so anyways get a lot of rest you two! See ya tomorrow, bright at early, at the gates!" Before I could say anything else he disappeared in a puff of white smoke. I turned to Naruto.

"You okay?" He seemed unfazed by the question, he was still in shock. I pulled him into a hug and he started to cry in my shoulder.

"I…they're gone…and…I…I…" He tried to say something between sobs but I just shushed him. When the tears subsided, I pulled him away a little, still holding him though.

"Better?"

"Sort of…" The answer was merely a whisper. I kissed his cheek as a stray tear fell from his eyes. This time, as I was about to came apart his lips crashed down onto mine, taking me by surprise.

I could feel his restrained desire and realized how it was matched with mine. His lips tasted salty from the tears that had fallen before. He opened his lips, allowing me entry so I explored his mouth. Our tongues battled for dominance and I won.

As we kissed, we somehow ended up in his room and on his bed. He was on top of me, kissing with all of his emotions. His lips left mine for a few seconds as he pulled my shirt and his off, throwing them somewhere on the floor.

Me, being one who prefers being the dominant one, decided to take control. I flipped him over so that now I was on top. Trailing kisses along his jaw line, I reached down and undid his pants button, producing a gasp from the blond. He was already hard. Slowly, I stoked his member and listened contently to his moan.

Pulling off both his pants and boxers, and then mine, I rubbed our erections together. I pushed our bodies together I grinded my hips into his and stole another kiss from him. When I started to trail kisses down his body he tugged at my hair. A smirk played on my features as I got all the way down. Softly, I blew on his member, feeling him shiver in result.

"Sasuke…" Naruto breathed. "Put it…" My fingers continued to stoke as I looked up at my dobe.

"Hmmm?"

"Put it in…" He blushed and I realized what he wanted me to do. Heh…he was embarrassed to say it…

"I'm sorry, what?" I teased, twirling my fingers around it now.

"Sasuke!" It came out raspy and needy. Kind of sexy.

"What?" Innocence played into my voice.

"Put it in your mouth!" A chuckle emanated from my throat as he turned as bright red and I put his hard member my mouth, feeling the warmness and enveloping my tongue around it. Moans of pure pleasure emanated from him…"Sasuke…Sasuke…Sasuke! I'm…going to…AHHH!" He came. White hot liquid poured into my throat and I swallowed it all, savoring the taste of Naruto. The taste that no one but me was going to have.

I climbed back up so my forehead was resting on his. He smiled up at me weakly.

"Dobe." We lay there, holding each other.

"Sasu?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you." My heart stopped. Those three words actually came out of his mouth. A smile formed on my lips and I kissed his cheek. I guess my wish just came true. Apparently shooting stars work. Heh…

"I love you too." We fell asleep in each other's arms, forgetting entirely about everything else and only focusing on the person that meant the most. Each other.

TBC?
