A/N: I made a C2, which made me very happy! Thank you, whoever put me in there, you made my day. Chapter 6 should be out soon.

Cherry-chan if you're reading this, I didn't wanna bug you during your studies. But it's a pretty calm chapter and the next one too. Come back!

Thank you, all who reviewed! I'm glad I didn't scare everyone away with the random KakaSasu. I would have had more of a warning but I honestly didn't know it was coming.

Sasuke found himself sitting next to Naruto in French again.

When he came into the room he blushed slightly but hadn't dared look at the other boy. Naruto had his head in his arms, when he saw Sasuke he sat up and smiled. Sasuke ignored him and took out all his materials placing them on the desk.

"Hey Sasuke…" His voice sounded serious.

Sasuke turned towards Naruto. Why he didn't he say the usual Sasuke-bastard? Naruto's eyes stared right into his, his mouth straight, his eyebrows high. Sasuke kept their eyes locked urging him to continue.

"Okay everyone settle down." Anko came in with her usual greeting. She could come in and everyone would be silent but still she would tell them to 'settle down.'

Naruto broke their eye contact looking at Anko. Sasuke had no choice but to turn away. He scowled at Anko, this was the first time he really wanted to hit a girl.

"Okay everyone as you know we start a new chapter today. It's a chapter about weddings or la marriage." A few girls squealed, Anko rolled her eyes and continued. "Well every year I always throw a mock wedding, the students, that's you guys." She pointed at them. "Will re-enact a wedding." She finished almost enthusiastically. A few students dared to chatter excitedly.

"First things first, we need to choose a bride, the groom, and the priest. And they will memorize lines to perform the ceremony. The rest of you lazy people not involved in the ceremony, are responsible for bringing food, decorating, deciding where it will take place, you have to ask the principal and all that good stuff. And I of course will make the cake." She smiled at them, the students stared back unsure of what to make of the smile, on the one hand it was creepy but on the other she looked genuinely happy.

"The wedding will take place next Wednesday before turkey day, and yes, each student gets to invite other students who are not in the class…but only two." She said her voice rising.

"Now." She said sweetly "Any takers for groom?" She took out her clipboard to write down the name.

The whole class was silent for a moment then almost at once every girl called out "NARUTO!"

Sasuke jerked his head to the blonde who sat up and looked around as if he'd been sleeping.

"Yeah sure I'll do it." He said lazily.

Sasuke scowled at the room as all the girls squealed. Anko wrote on her clipboard and looked up. "Bride?"

As expected every single girls hand shot up, Anko shook her head and grabbed a beret from the back and passed it around.

"If you wanna be the bride put your name on a piece of paper and put it in the hat when it comes around." She looked down at the clipboard again.

"The priest" She said and as expected no one raised their hands.

"Right here." Sasuke heard coming from Naruto, he looked at the blonde only to find the dobe was pointing at HIM.

"What the hell?" He pulled the upraised arm down.

Anko laughed "Uchiha." She wrote his name on the clipboard.

"Wait." Sasuke's protests were ignored.

"Moving on, where's the hat?"

Sasuke glared at the blonde "What the hell?"

Naruto let out a huge grin "I just see you as a priest…celibate."

Sasuke slapped the back of the blonde's head. Unfortunately Anko's commanding voice called their attention again. "Okay the bride is..." She pulled a paper form the hat

"Sasuke."

Some girls let out squeals and Anko rolled her eyes. "Nice try girls." She reached for the hat again.

Some people stared back at them. Sasuke sat broodily but couldn't help the tint of pink staining his cheeks. Naruto was looking around confused and rubbing the place Sasuke had struck.

"Sakura." Anko read.

Sakura stood up as if she'd just won an award and smiled at Naruto "I'm looking forward to marrying you." She blew him a kiss. Naruto blew a kiss back

Sasuke was tempted to catch the kiss in midair but stopped himself. Instead he placed his head in front of the kiss' directed path, pretending to lie down. He knew it was immature but he didn't care much at the moment.

"Okay you three, I'll give you the lines you need to memorize later and the rest of you will help prepare and make decorations. But before that we have to study the actual chapter now open your books and start vocabulary." She went back to her desk.

"I'm getting married." Naruto told Sasuke.

Sasuke wanted to steer the conversation back to earlier, back when he'd called him Sasuke.

Sasuke.

It sounded different than before somehow.

For once Sasuke tried a direct approach.

"What were you going to say earlier dobe?" He asked so nonchalantly, he wondered if he should have become an actor. He even pretended to look at his book to make it seem like it wasn't important at all.

Naruto faced him fully, his blue eyes watching him, Sasuke cowered slightly. He looked serious again. Sasuke prepared himself,

"Sasuke…"

Sasuke sat patiently waiting; he had to suppress a 'Yes? Go on'.

Finally the dobe answered "Wanna come eat ramen with me?" He smiled bigger than he ever had.

Sasuke stared stupefied. "Is that it?"

"Well yeah, cause Neji and them can't come with me and I don't wanna eat ramen alone."

Kiba turned around in his seat. "I'll go I'm starving and I like ramen as long as it's your treat."

Naruto nodded "What about you Sasuke-teme?"

"Hmph." He turned and studied his textbook.

"Alright in Sasuke language that means yes!"

The rest of the class Kiba and Naruto talked about a new video game, while Sasuke could only think of how much he hated Ramen.

At the end of class they were given their lines to memorize. Sasuke's were longest,

"Well thanks for volunteering me dumbass."

"Hey I got volunteered too."

When the bell rung, he packed up slowly. He really wasn't sure of what to do he never really had friends, unless you counted clingy Kabuto. Was he supposed to follow Naruto? Or should he walk on ahead and wait for Naruto to say something?

He looked to Naruto hoping the blonde would make the first move. Luckily he did, "Ready?"

"Whatever."

They made their way toward the parking lot. Reaching the black pavement they separated, getting into their own cars. Sasuke pulled out, seeing Naruto's orange car and Kiba's Toyota waiting at the exit. Sasuke pulled behind them and Naruto sped off.

Naruto lead the way, the drive was fairly short. They were taken to a tiny shopping center, where the food plaza had a bunch of restaurants, one of which was Ichiraku's Ramen; they followed Naruto into the small shop. When Naruto entered, the man behind the counter greeted them and Naruto sat himself down, Kiba and Sasuke following.

A girl came to take their order. "Haven't seen you in about two weeks that's a record." She smiled at them friendly; she seemed the big sister type towards Naruto.

She handed them menus and went back to the kitchen. Sasuke scanned the menu and cursed as every item was Ramen, well it was a ramen stand. He wanted to order something, after all the dobe was paying. He chose the one kind of Ramen he didn't totally detest, Pork Miso and settled on water for a drink. When the waitress came around she asked Naruto "are you having the same as usual?"

"Pork Miso for me" he said staring at Sasuke.

Sasuke said "same" and handed her the menu he kept his eyes on the blonde.

None of them looked away, Naruto met his gaze, looking like he was about to laugh but Sasuke's was dead serious.

Naruto broke the gaze and smirked, and for a second a tiny tremble passed through Sasuke's spine. He'd never seen the blonde smirk. Smiling, was another thing completely, he saw one too may smiles come from him. But smirking was something else entirely, something Sasuke seemed to perfect over the course of his life. Yet, here the blonde had smirked probably for the first time ever and it had brought Sasuke to feel like some sort of liquid. To see that smirk again he was sure he would do anything. This was all very annoying; he felt vulnerable, a feeling that he wasn't used to and something he wasn't sure he enjoyed. Other than his dad or brother, not very many people could affect him so. And yet here was Naruto, who could do something as simple as smirk and make Sasuke feel hotter than July. (-1-)

Just during the course of the day, it had begun to feel like the beginning of the year again, a cat and mouse game, the game leading to an inevitable end. Sasuke set himself up for it. He would try once again, whether it led to disaster or happiness, he did not know.

Naruto laughed. "Isn't that funny Sasuke?"

Sasuke looked around confused. "What?"

"Ah! You never listen, bastard." He pouted and took a drink of his orange soda.

The waitress came and placed large steaming bowls in front of each of them "need anything else?" she asked

Naruto looked around the table and shook his head, the waitress looked around the table to make sure she didn't miss anything. Satisfied with her inspection she gave them a smile and backed away. Sasuke scowled at the soup, "Pass the chopsticks dobe."

Naruto had already taken a big bite, his mouth was full of noodles, he quickly slurped them up. He grabbed chopsticks from the container and handed them over. Without looking up Sasuke grabbed them preparing himself to consume the greasy salty mess. However Naruto didn't release them, he held them a second longer than normal and turned away as he released them. Sasuke, confused as ever, stared into his bowl as if it held all the answers. While eating he couldn't help think Naruto had something important to tell him, earlier did he really just want to invite him to eat ramen? The blonde had never looked that serious before, he shook off the feeling figuring the idiot would probably come clean if the chance came. Unfortunately throughout the meal he didn't say another serious word, he was stuck listening to his mindless rambles, trying his hardest not to laugh. He hadn't had ramen in a while so he found it oddly refreshing, he finished the last of his noodles embarrassed when he realized he was slurping.

Sasuke looked deep into his miso bowl, he saw the little Naruto's floating at the top, he never liked the taste of them; they were bitter and the color was pink of all colors. Who liked pink food?

"So what are you doing for thanksgiving Sasuke?"

Sasuke looked up from the Naruto's. "Huh?"

Naruto and Kiba shared a laugh "Sasuke listen man! What are you doing for Thanksgiving?"

"Oh the usual I'm going to visit my grandma upstate. You guys?" Naruto rolled his eyes. "Well if you were paying attention you would have heard that Kiba's doing his own thing and I'm hanging out with the guys again.'

"What about winter break what do you usually do?"

"Same" Sasuke answered.

Kiba, who Sasuke had almost forgotten was there, suddenly raised his hands, "Hold on."

"Remember before that we go to Big Bear. Fuck yes! I've been waiting for this for four years."

"Big Bear what's that?" The blonde asked, his head darting from Sasuke to Kiba.

"What are you stupid?" Kiba yelled. "The mountain resort you know? Every year the seniors go and stay a whole freaking week."

Naruto was still, silent, calm.

Sasuke prodded "Naruto…"

The blonde stood up suddenly. "Big Bear!" He said as if he knew all this time "That sounds so fucking cool!"

Kiba joined in on the excitement by standing up "I know it's gonna be sweet! We get to stay a whole week for chrissake AND it's free AND there will be skiing, snowboarding. Naruto you've never been there?'

"Me no…I can't believe it's free. Sasuke-teme did you know about this?"

"Of course I had to practically organize it."

Naruto laughed "Why didn't you ever tell me bastard?"

"I didn't know you were that dense."

Naruto laughed "I've never seen snow." He said to himself sounding like a child. Sasuke gave him thoughtful look.

Then Naruto just started laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing nothing I just pictured Sasuke on skis."

Kiba stayed quiet for a second, a blank look on his face. His face then lit up and he joined in on the laughter. Sasuke stood from his chair and made his way to the exit.

"Don't go! " Naruto called through his laughter, but Sasuke was already out the door.

As expected on Monday in Senior Advisory, Iruka handed them packets of permission slips, that they had to hand in by the end of the week.

"Make sure your parent or guardian fills out ALL the papers or you will not be able to attend, we'll go over the packet now because I know you'll just throw it at your parents if I have you take it home." He handed the last packet of papers to the last table. He went up to the front carrying his own packet.

"Okay now everyone open up to page number one." He flipped open his own.

"This first page describes your privileges. You're each expected back to the cabins by curfew, which is at 11:00 pm, no exceptions. You are allowed free time while there, however half the day you will spend in groups and then allowed to separate. If you break any of these rules you will be asked to leave and WILL be taken back home."

Iruka continued even though only half the students were really listening.

"Wah! We actually get free time? "

"Well this is a private school" Neji answered.

"What a rich school." Naruto said disbelieving.

"Well you should know" Chouji added aren't you paying for your own tuition? And ours for that matter?'

Naruto shrugged "Well yeah. But, I let Yamato handle the finances."

"That's true." Chouji said.

"Plus I'm already trying to think of a way to break curfew."

Neji smirked "Of course you are, you idiot."

"And then after skiing I don't know; what else can we do in Big Bear Sasuke?'

"I don't know. And you've been talking about this all week, it's not like you've never been on vacation dobe."

"Well yeah, but not with any one I liked or anything. I mean it was always for movies and it never was anywhere I wanted. But this time I'll be going to see snow and I'll be with Neji and the guys and Kiba and Sakura" Sasuke thought of canceling the trip all together. "And everyone else. AND I'll have you bastard."

Sasuke sighed "You really are an idiot."

Naruto smiled "Yeah sure, nothing can ruin my mood."

"Have you memorized the lines for French?"

"Ah! Sasuke you bastard, you always manage to ruin my mood."

"Well it's not till Wednesday anyways."

"You're right" Naruto smiled at him and Sasuke couldn't help but smile back a tiny bit. When Naruto opened his eyes, his face turned expressionless.

"Have you memorized your lines yet Sasuke?"

"Of course."

"Yaaa. Yeah right."

"Bienvenue à tous. Marié et Mariée sont heureux de..."

"Okay okay I believe you," The blonde turned away, grouchily.

Sasuke couldn't help but smirk at himself.

"So who are you inviting to the wedding?"

Sasuke scowled "I don't know."

The blonde nudged him with his elbow. "Well if you have an extra ticket you could give it to me cause I wanna invite Neji, well, maybe not him but there's Ino, I promised her one and then there's this one weird guy who's always talking about it ever since I mentioned it to him."

Sasuke momentarily wondered if he should invite Kabuto, he wouldn't really consider him a friend. He always considered himself more of a loner. But Kabuto definitely wasn't a stranger in fact he was always around, he decided on it. He knew the blonde must be rubbing off on him because he would have never thought that way before.

After school he gave the extra ticket to Naruto and gave the other one to Kabuto. He had to admit, that was the first time he saw a guy cry tears of joy.

In the glass-domed botanical garden, there were decorations of pink crochet paper and hearts that the students had made. A pretty girl walked down a made aisle that led up to the archway, decorated with pink lilies. Apparently someone had decided that the theme was pink. The bride's hair was bright pink underneath a pink veil, her cheeks were even rosy. She walked up to her groom to be, smiling as any bride would.

Anko and the onlookers oohed and awed and, everyone seemed to have a smile on their face. Everyone that is except for the fuming holy man that stood grudgingly underneath the pink archway. He muttered silent curses under his breathe.

Naruto smiled at his bride but was fidgety as if he was really getting married. Sasuke boldly tapped the blonde's elbow and Naruto calmed down and gave Sasuke a small smile.

Sasuke was mature enough not to mess up the wedding, or rather, afraid of Anko. Emperor or not she was scary. But before Sakura made her way up the steps Sasuke silently prayed she would fall over, he wasn't too surprised when she reached the top safely. Naruto took her hand and faced Sasuke. Sasuke was more nervous than he thought. He tried desperately not to look at the groom's blue eyes. He settled his eyes on the audience and began.

"Bienvenue à tous. Les Marié et Mariée sont heureux de vous voir tous ici réunis pour partager leur joie en cette occasion très particulière de leur vie."

Welcome, the Groom and Bride are pleased that you can be here today to share in their joy at this high moment in their lives. He couldn't help but be drawn to the Naruto's stare as he went on with the ceremony, saying the words of love that probably only he, Naruto and Anko really understood. He felt his voice falter a few times but Naruto would nod his head to reassure him each time and he'd go on. When it was time for Naruto to say his vows, Sasuke was shocked. It was like Naruto was a Frenchman, he had a perfect accent! He never actually heard him speak French seriously. They never practiced, and during presentations Naruto never spoke to his full potential. Naruto said his vows, his mouth moving smoothly, his eyes and hair lit up in the sun.

His gaze moved from Sasuke to Sakura smiling at each of them, and both stood transfixed underneath the actor's spell. Sasuke gulped and adjusted his robes, Anko went so far as to rent out a bishops costume. Sasuke grit his teeth. "Vous pouvez sceller votre pacte d'amour d'un baiser." You may seal your vows with a kiss.

Naruto turned to Sakura staring straight into her eyes, she merely stared back entranced. He grabbed her into his arms and lightly pulled her chin into a warm kiss. Sasuke dropped the book he'd been holding, he just stood staring wide eyed at Naruto kissing Sakura who looked just as shocked as he felt. Sasuke shook his head snapping himself out of his stupor. When he came to his senses he tore them apart and called to everyone, "Now everyone on to the reception." Everyone looked uncertain but headed toward the back of the garden anyway. Naruto shrugged and headed toward the back. Sakura looked at Sasuke shocked, her face was pale, "I kissed Uzumaki Naruto" still lost in her daze, she staggered to a guest's seat and slumped down. Sasuke ignored her and followed the blonde.

At the beginning of the reception the bride and groom led everyone in a dance. It was traditional and onlookers cheered them on. Naruto was the life of the party, people flocked toward him and he was naturally charming.

Sasuke stood off to the side trying to take off his robes. Anko was taking pictures the whole time so he tried even harder to get it off before she came around to him. Random people would come congratulate him on a job well done. One girl joked that if he was really a priest she would confess all her sins to him. He mock laughed and told her he was much like a priest. When she stared at him confused he explained that he was also a celibate. That got rid of her.

After the first dance Sasuke saw a long haired guy ask the bride to dance while Naruto mingled. As always Sasuke stayed on the sidelines indulging in his current favorite hobby: watching Naruto.

Slowly Naruto made his way toward Sasuke, socializing when needed. "Seat taken?" Naruto sat down in the chair beside Sasuke. Sasuke was glad of the interruption, he was stuck with Kabuto, wondering why invited him again.

"Hey that seat was taken dobe."

"Yeah right! Who would sit by you Sasuke" Naruto smiled at himself and stretched out in his chair. "Wanna come to ramen later again?"

At this Kabuto sat straighter and looked from Sasuke to Naruto. Sasuke shook his head. "I'm flying out today."

Naruto nodded "Oh yeah…your grandma."

"And you're going to be here with your friends?" Kabuto asked.

Naruto looked like he'd just seen Kabuto. He examined Kabuto carefully "Who are you again?"

Kabuto turned a shade of gray. "Hasn't Sasuke-sama told you about me?"

Naruto shook his head, Kabuto stormed off muttering to himself something about loyalty and bonds.

"Who was that?" Naruto asked.

"Kabuto. He's sort of my assistant well he insists on being it anyway."

"Oh, what's 'sama'?"

"He's originally from Japan and they have honorifics over there or something."

"Sasuke…."

"Yeah" The blonde looked as if he was having an internal struggle he let out a long sigh and finally said. "I'm a good actor. That's how I could pretend to get married today."

"Okay" Sasuke said half confused half irritated.

"When I act, it's like I'm somebody else and I start believing that character. I fool myself into thinking that that person is me." He looked like he was trying to explain something to a grade schooler.

Sasuke stared.

Naruto looked frustrated. "Like when I was Zorro I really thought I was Zorro and when I was the vampire I really was him, don't you see I created them? Without me they wouldn't exist well I suppose there would have been another actor but I was them. All of them."

"I see that, but what does that have to do with anything?"

"Well" He paused and looked down at his hands.

Sasuke couldn't help but notice that he'd loosened his tie. It hung around his neck pulling the dress shirt down so Sasuke could see a little bit of chest. He looked away immediately but when the blonde didn't answer he looked at him again, this time concentrating on his hair. It was longer than when he first met him and even though his head was tilted downwards. Tiny locks of golden hair grazed the nape of his neck as if wanting to touch the skin. Sasuke sat up a little straighter if only to get a tiny bit closer to him. Naruto's hair was naturally styled; it was always wild and fashionably messy. But today it looked like he tried to put gel on, but alas his hair was disobedient as ever, random strands stuck up all over the place. Sasuke had a weird yearning to brush the one strand down. Just one simple movement and it would be done. He had to stop his hand from taking over.

"Sasuke, sometimes I feel like I'm acting all the time. It scares me sometimes, it's like I'll look in the mirror and it doesn't feel like me." He stopped and rubbed his hands together. "It's like I've become what someone else has wanted of me and that's one of the reason's I hate acting. It kills who I really am but I think I've been doing it for so long that I might have lost myself along the way and I just don't know, is this me?" He clasped his hands around his body and Sasuke was sure he was about to cry.

Sasuke said the first thing that came to his mind. "Did you have a point?" He regretted saying it as soon as the words were out of his mouth. "I didn't mean it like that." Sasuke mumbled "I meant."

But before he could say anything else Naruto lightly chuckled. "I did actually. It was about you…"

Sasuke absent mindedly reached out and brushed the strand down gently. He pulled his hand back and froze in midair looking at Naruto worriedly. The blonde smiled at him, but it wasn't his usual smile, there was a strange look in his eye.

"Cake time!" they heard Anko's booming voice echo throughout the garden.

Naruto rapidly stood up and smiled as always "I'll tell ya later bastard." He followed Anko's voice, she held a microphone and made the bride and groom each feed each other a piece of cake.

Sasuke cursed his teacher for the second time and stayed in the seat. The cake was a traditional French cake which, consisted of a mountain of fluffy cream puffs drizzled in caramel. Naruto stuffed his mouth and fed some to Sakura. Afterwards the blonde was as social as ever and Sasuke was once again watching. He thought Naruto would come back immediately and finish but he didn't, Sasuke observed him again. He could have watched him as long as he was there. However Kabuto had called him to his office claiming to have an urgent piece of information. He followed the gray haired boy looking back to see Naruto one last time. He was glad to be leaving now as Anko had started singing "La Vie en Rose." He spotted the blonde laughing with everyone else at Anko's tuneless song. He exited the garden hearing Anko's out of tune voice carry through the empty hallway.

(-1-) Sorry for the horrible analogy, Leti made me do it.

A/N: Sorry for the semi uneventful chapter. Chapter 6 should be better.
