Thank you to my two wonderful reviewers. I just got back from school and I just needed to post. I just wanted to remind everyone that reads this that there was a time skip so Sasu and Naru got older. I hope you guys won't hate me for the time skips but I'm trying to move the story along and keep it short. (That's my plan anyway)

Disclaimer: No I don't own Naruto...I'm just the one that got fired for trying to stuff SasuNaruness in between the pages of every manga...as you can see it didn't work.

Warning: More SasuNaruness, mild language (haha), and you know stuff.

Well let's get this over with...

~Chapter 3~

Kiss on the elbow - To erase the pain

Sasuke was ten years old but that didn't necessarily mean he was social by any means, in fact he preferred to keep to himself, he didn't like people or noise.

So why did his mother keep trying to include him in conversations? Currently his mother was sitting with her friend Kushina outside in the yard and was trying to get Sasuke to talk about what he and his classmates were doing currently in school. It was frustrating the young Uchiha immensely.

Fortunately he was saved from having to talk when Kushina's head snapped up "Where's Naruto? I know he wandered off to play but he should be back by now .What if he's gotten himself lost?" she asked in that worried tone that mother's get when they don't know where their kids are.

She looked around for Minato but he was in the middle off a deep political discussion with Sasuke's father, Fugaku, which was funny since Minato wasn't a person you'd expect to talk about politics, but then Itachi stepped out from seemingly nowhere and placed a hand on his younger brother's head.

"I'm sure otouto wouldn't mind retrieving Naruto" he said and Kushina looked over at Sasuke gratefully.

With both of the women watching him it wasn't like he could refuse, in fact he was relieved to be able to get away. That was until Sasuke realized who he was supposed to look for, he groaned inwardly. Why did he have to be the one to try to find that stupid dobe?

As Sasuke walked off in the direction Naruto had run off in earlier he cursed his older brother, he knew how much he couldn't stand the blonde. Sasuke shot a glare at Itachi over his shoulder, the older boy was smirking at him slightly. Deciding to get him back later Sasuke continued on his way. Where the heck could that idiot be?

It didn't take him long to find the blonde kneeling under a big oak tree and muttering angrily under his breath. He didn't even notice Sasuke until the raven was standing over him." What have you done now dobe?" Sasuke asked with an exasperated sigh and Naruto glared up at him. "It's none of your business stupid Sasuke" he said, holding onto his elbow he winced in pain slightly just enough for Sasuke to notice.

Sasuke sighed once again, squatting down in front of the blonde "Let me see." he said extending a hand to Naruto's elbow and grabbed it anyway when the boy shook his head.

"The stupid tree branch broke." Naruto told him as Sasuke assessed the damage on his elbow then he glared up at the tree as if that would solve his problem, he turned back to Sasuke half expecting the Uchiha to make a smart remark or start calling him stupid again instead the Sasuke just asked "Why didn't you come back to the house then?"

Naruto stayed silent and averted his gaze, looking everywhere but at Sasuke. There was no way he would admit to this jerk that he had gotten lost ,no way in ... .Sasuke smirked "You got lost didn't you, you idiot." Naruto began a staring contest with the ground "Shut up." he muttered proving Sasuke's assumption to be right.

They were both quiet for a moment. Naruto was waiting for Sasuke to hurry up and let go off his arm and walk away. Then Sasuke did something strange, he raised Naruto's elbow so was it directly in front of his face and seemed to stop to think about something.

Naruto winced, preparing for Sasuke to poke the bruise or do something else to cause him more pain but what he did surprised the blonde even more. Bringing Naruto's elbow even closer Sasuke placed a kiss on the tender skin. "Is that better?" Sasuke asked smirking and Naruto pulled his arm away shakily his face growing warm. "You're such a baby Naruto"

Naruto stood up quickly, ignoring the wave of pain that shot through his leg. He didn't know why he was so agitated he knew Sasuke loved to tease him, he was always trying to make the blonde look stupid. "W-we should get back to the house." he cursed his voice for wavering and walked off in a random direction.

"Dobe that's the wrong way" Sasuke called out already walking away in the right direction as if nothing had happened, his hands stuffed into his pockets. "Uh...yeah, I knew that." Naruto said following after him, he was limping slightly and his leg was tingling with pain. He sat down once more, walking any farther definitely wouldn't be possible.

Sasuke stopped as well turning back to look at the younger boy. "Dobe?" he questioned trying to figure out the reason Naruto had decided to stop and sit.

"I guess...I must have hurt my leg when I fell...heh... It kinda..won't move." Naruto smiled sheepishly, maybe Sasuke would take pity on him and go to get the blonde's parents. Sasuke raised an eyebrow, the dobe had to be joking. First he scraped his arm up and now he couldn't walk, the Uchiha had to retain an irritated sigh. Why did he always have to be the one to deal with these sorts of things?

Without giving the blonde a warning he yanked the blonde up by his uninjured hand. "Hey Sasuke! I just said I couldn-" before Naruto could finish his sentence Sasuke had placed one hand on his back and the other under his knees and lifted him up easily.

To say Naruto was shocked was an understatement, in fact Sasuke himself was surprised by his own actions but he just continued to walk. Luckily for him the idiot was light and easy to carry, well it would have been easy if he'd stop wriggling. "Sasuke what are…you doing?" Naruto demanded unable to free himself from the other's hold.

"Hn" Sasuke was actually more amused than irritated at this point. "Isn't this something a "friend" would do dobe?" that stopped Naruto in his tracks. He flushed, that "incident" had happened nearly more than two years ago. Why did Sasuke have to bring it up now? He'd been seven years old for god's sake. "All I did was kiss you on the cheek you jerk, besides I changed my mind, we are definitely not friends!" Sasuke smirked It was too easy to tease the dobe.

"Hn" Sasuke said in way of reply. "Such a dobe." he readjusted his hold on Naruto slightly so the blonde hair didn't tickle his neck as much. He'd never realized how lightly built the other was, considering the many times he'd been viciously attacked by him.

When they reached the house Kushina ran over to them looking relieved "Naruto what happened? How'd you get such a nasty bruise?" his mom asked worriedly and Naruto could only shrug, his mother lowered her hands a little so Sasuke could place the boy in her arms.

"It's nothing I just fell, I'll be fine." he told her although she still looked worried "Do you need me to kiss it and make it better?" Kushina asked and although her tone was still worried there was a playful light in her eyes.

Naruto shook his head making sure Sasuke had walked off. "It doesn't really hurt anymore anyway." he said and it was true he barely felt any pain.

Kushina tightened her hold on her him. She could be extremely protective when it came to her son. "Well let's go get it bandaged up." Naruto nodded, letting his mother carry him along towards the house. On the way they passed by Sasuke, and the Uchiha paused to glance at Naruto before resuming his one-sided glaring match with his brother.

Naruto snuggled closer to his mother's chest and she looked down at him. "What's wrong Naru, does you arm hurt again?" she asked but he shook his head putting a hand to his stomach as they walked into the house, eyes on the ground as he replied.

"Uh uh my tummy just feels kind of funny."

"It seems dear Naruto was saved by a knight in shining armor, hm otouto?" Itachi was smirking quite obviously now at his younger. It hadn't slipped past him that his little brother had indeed carried the injured blonde back. Sasuke growled "Shut up aniki." He was annoyed yet again and his brother was making it worse. They both watched Minato rush into the house after talking with Sasuke's mom, Mikoto, who looked equally worried.

"I'm sure you'll want to go in and make sure your little Kitsune is fine, otouto" Itachi said, he planned to tease his brother to no end. Sasuke's irritation increased, he chose to ignore the new nickname Itachi had come up with for Naruto. "The dobe is fine, and if you say one more word I'll kill you aniki." he gave Itachi a death glare.

Their Father walked by and gave them both a look. "Itachi stop annoying your younger brother and Sasuke, please refrain from death threats in this household." Then he walked over to his wife and sat down next to her, his sons could be a handful.

Right now Sasuke was trying to understand why he had even bothered to help Naruto. It was more like him to just leave Naruto stranded in the middle of the woods, so why had he... Sasuke rubbed his temple with one hand. Leave it to the dobe to turn a perfectly normal day into an irritating, headache filled one.

Yes, I know it was short but as they get older I hope to make them longer and more drawn out. Making such fluff is so against my code (yes I consider this fluff) maybe I should level it up a notch.

I love Itachi's nickname for Naru, cute ne?

Oh and the next chapter will take me a little longer to publish, as I said I'm trying to make them longer.
