The Year Of The Dog Party
Chapter 4: The Deal & The Nightmare
Naruto ran down the streets of Konoha. He couldn't believe what had just happened. Ino had kissed him! Him of all people! Did she actually like him? No. It had to be some sort of trick. She liked Shikamaru. Naruto didn't know what to think. He was getting hungry now. Luckily, where he was, the Ichiraku Ramen place was just up ahead. He picked up speed, but slowed down a little when he saw Kakashi leaning against a pole, with his face half-buried in the latest volume of "Icha Icha Paradise".
"Well, well, "casanova". How was your little 'session' with Miss Yamanaka?" Kakashi said ironically.
Naruto stopped in front of him. "Kakashi-sensei! You mean...you...and I...and you saw...but...I...!" Naruto was blushing and was at a loss for words.
The silver-haired jounin laughed out loud. "Well, when you have Sharingan, you can see anything. So how was it? She a good kisser?" Kakashi was still laughing.
The blonde genin was going redder then before. "You saw it? But c'mon! She is the one that kissed me! She just "forced" me into it!"
"Sure, sure. But I saw you. You enjoyed it didn't you? Being kissed like that. And you kissed her back. Just be glad I was the only one who saw. If anyone else did, you'd be a dead man by now. Oh well, I wonder how Miss Haruno will react when I tell her what I saw...I'm sure she'll be heartbroken..." Kakashi started to walk off, but Naruto tried to tackle him down, but Kakashi stopped.
"Please sensei, don't! I love Sakura! I've always loved her! Please! I beg of you! Don't. I'll do anything you ask, just please don't tell her! I love her so much..." Naruto was almost crying at this point.
The silver-haired jounin looked into the Kyuubi container's eyes. He saw how sad he looked. Kakashi got Naruto to his feet, and gave him a smile. "Okay Naruto. Since you are such a great kid, I won't say anything." He rubbed Naruto's hair, slightly messing it up. "But for me not saying anything, you have to clean my apartment alright?"
Naruto gave Kakashi a sour look, but if he didn't want Sakura to find out the truth, he would have to do what he was told.
"Follow me". Kakashi said starting to run. Naruto followed him across the village, to his aparment. When they got there, Kakashi opened the door. Naruto was absolutly shocked at the mess. Clothes scattered on the floor, Shelves which were very dusty. And as for the kitchen, that was as dirty as hell.
The Kyuubi container was just astounded. How could such a great ninja live like this? "Alright, sensei. I'll clean up for ya." Naruto exclaimed.
Kakashi flopped down on the couch with the R rated book in his hand. "Alright, I'll give ya 30 minutes to clean the place. Lemme see how much you can do. Oh, and you can use Ninjutsu." He turned a few pages and started to read.
"Yosh! Let's get started. Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!" Naruto shouted out as 5 clones poofed into existence. Soon, they were hard at work. Cleaning, dusting, moving things, picking up stuff. The clones moved fast that time went by quickly as well. After around 25 minutes, the clones dissappeared in puffs of smoke.
"All done sensei!" Naruto said cheerfully.
The silver-haired jounin put the book down and looked around. He was amazed at what Naruto had done. Everything was much cleaner, more neatly and organized.
"Well,well, I am surprised. You did that fast." He smiled.
Naruto looked over a table next to the couch where Kakashi was sitting. There was a photograph with 4 people in it. The first was a blonde haired man, and next was three kids. One was a boy, with black hair and goggles. The next another boy with silver hair and a mask covering his face. Anf the last one was a girl, with brunette hair, and 2 purple marks on her cheeks. Naruto thought she was as cute as Sakura.
"Hey sensei! Who is this lot?" He asked out of curiosity.
Kakashi looked up. "That was my squad when I was your age. The black haired boy is Uchiha Obito, and the girl is Rin, the silver haired boy you see is me. And the blonde guy is Yondaime Hokage.
Naruto thought.Yondaime-sama...the greatest hero of our village. That Obito...he looks..like me..
"Ah. Now I see the resemblance. Obito was as clumsy as you used to be, but he gave his life for me. And this..." The silver haired jounin pointed at his headband where the Sharingan was hidden.
"So thats..." Naruto asked. Kakashi nodded. "And Obito...he loved Rin...he tried anything to gain affection from her..but she liked me more then she did him..."
Much like how Sakura used to like Sasuke more then me...Naruto thought. He felt pain in his heart. It had hurt so badly. Sakura used to treat him like nothing, but she improved, and started to like Naruto more, even when Sasuke had left the village. "But" Kakashi continued. "Obito died before he could admit to Rin his true feelings. After all that, Rin disappeared. I have no idea where she is now, but I hope see her again some day."
The blonde genin thought about this a lot. Would the same thing happen to him and Sakura like it did to Obito and Rin?
"Well anyway. Nice job here Naruto. You can go now. I'll keep my end of the bargain. And here's a little something for you." Kakashi handed him a basket of fresh fruit. "Please eat some real food once in awhile."
Naruto grunted as he took the basket. "Thanks I guess. Cya later." With that, Naruto left his apartment. It was late in the afternoon now. He went home and decided to lie down on his bed. He was tired for some odd reason, and fell asleep. He began to dream.
BEGIN DREAM
Naruto was with Sakura. They were sitting under a cherry blossam next to a lake.
"Sakura-chan...I want to tell you something..." Naruto began.
Sakura had a smile on her face. "Sure, Naruto. You can tell me anything, we are friends after all!" She giggled.
Naruto swallowed. "Well, it's...it's...I love you Sakura-chan. I've always loved. I'll love you until I die."
The pink-haired kunoichi stared into his blue eyes. "I love you too, Naruto-kun". She kissed him on the lips, and Naruto kissed her back. They were then interrupted by an evil voice, and standing right in front of them, was none other then Uchiha Sasuke.
"Sasuke! What are you doing here?" Naruto shouted out.
The Uchiha had a dark look in his eyes. "I've come to kill you, but first...I'm gonna do this..." Sasuke moved quickly and uppercutted Naruto which knocked him back. Sasuke grabbed Sakura around the neck. Sakura struggled, but Sasuke tightened his grip, and suddenly bit Sakura on the neck. The kunoichi screamed in utter pain, as Sasuke sank his teeth into her skin. He dropped her, and Sakura clenched her neck in pain.
Naruto managed to stand up. "What the hell did you do to her, teme?"
Sasuke laughed evilly as his cursed seal spread out across his body. "What do you think? Take a look!"
The blonde-haired ninja looked in horror. A cursed seal appeared on Sakura's neck. "It's no use!" Sasuke continued. "Once it stays there, you can't do nothing!"
"Na...ru..to.." Sakura groaned in pain as a cursed seal pattern was spreading through her body.
Sasuke continued laughing. "Now, I'm gonna kill you!" Without making a single hand seal, Chidori appeared in his right hand. It turned black! "YAMI NO CHIDORI" He began to charge at Naruto. Naruto didn't hesitate and Rasengan appeared in his hand ready to strike Sasuke. But the Uchiha moved to quickly for him. Naruto shut his eyes, hoping he'd wake up. He then heard the chirping sound of Chidori hit something. He opened his eyes, to see blood splatter on his face. In front of him, was Sakura. She had managed to get up, and stop the attack from hitting Naruto. Sasuke's attack had struck Sakura in the stomach, and blood began to pour out of her body.
"SAKURA! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Naruto screamed in anger.
"Na...ru...to...I lo...love you...d-d-don't forget me..." Those were the pink-haired Kunoichi's last words before she collasped right in front of him.
The Kyuubi kid exploded with anger and rage, and the kyuubi's chakra began to transform him. His eye's became slitted and turned red, his hands turning into claws, and his teeth growing sharper. And one fiery, chakra tail appeared out of his body.
"SASUKE! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Rasengan appeared in his hand growing larger, and larger, and eventually turning dark orange. Uchiha had recharged the attack and both of them struck one another...
END DREAM!
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Naruto woke up screaming, and then suddenly vomited. He coughed hard, and stumbled to the bathroom, and continued being sick in the sink. He looked in the mirror. He looked extreamly pale.
"Sakura...I love you with all my heart. I'll protect you. Always." He said to himself. He got himself a glass of water and washed his mouth out. "I'd better eat something." Naruto looked in the basked of fruit that Kakashi gave him and picked up a red apple. "Well, at least it's better then ramen..."
