Chapter 3: Sasuke's Confusion

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke's POV

It took me several seconds to register what just happened.

I was just standing at Naruto's door and rang the bell a few minutes ago. After the Dobe opened the door, he stared at me strangely with those cute blue eyes of his for several seconds, he gaped, then there were tears in his eyes… and right now he's hugging me like there's no tomorrow. Not that I'm complaining, though.

'Yup, that's what currently happened. Oh thank you, Lady Luck. If I ever meet you, I'll give you the million-dollar Uchiha Sasuke's kiss. …but why is Naruto hugging me?'

He likes you! He's falling head over heels on you! The little voice inside my head said. I've recently named it 'My inner self'.

'snort Like that's gonna happen! He likes Sakura, remember? He only sees me as a rival and a walking wallet to buy him ramen!'

That doesn't mean he can't fall for you! Come on, hug him back! You know he liiikkeesss you… If he doesn't, why is he hugging you right now, hmmm?

'…Good point. But to know for sure, let's just ask him first. He's acting strange. He hugging me out of the blue like this is just too good to be true.'

"Uh…Naruto? Why are you…err…hugging me?"

'Damn, did I just blushed when I asked that?'

At first, Naruto still didn't release his hug (More like a death grip). But he quickly removed his hands which he wrapped around my neck before. Now I regret asking him. I really liked how the warmth of his body is pressed against mine.

Naruto then put on his trademark grin and scratched the back of his neck. He looked adorable like that, especially in those pajamas. (Inner self sighed dreamily and nodded, agreeing)

"Sorry, Sasuke! It was on reflex!" Naruto said cheerily.

I raised an eyebrow. Reflex? "Reflex?"

"Yeah! Maybe it was because I'm used to glomp at you like that!" He said grinning more widely.

He's used to glomp at me? Since when?

I could even see my inner self gaping.

I keep repeating the questions in my head, chanting it like a mantra. But I still can't find the logical answer. All I could do was stutter, "…h-huh…?" and made a face.

Naruto stayed silent for a moment, staring at nothingness, as if talking to himself inside. I should know. I looked like that when I was discussing with my inner self.

The panic crept to his face.

"Uh…it's…uh…well…it's…uh…forget what I said! It was nothing! You know…I've just awaken and all…" Naruto said, flailing his hands and shook his head.

I just furrowed my eyebrows, frowned, and mumbled "Hn, whatever Dobe." to hide my disappointment.

I just hope it stayed unnoticed by him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, we've seen how Sasuke took in the situation. But what about Naruto? Let's see how we see it in a normal POV.

Normal POV

'Sasuke! Sasuke! SASUKEEE! It really is Sasuke! It's not a genjutsu! It's not a clone! He breathes! He's alive! He-'

'SHUT UP KIT! COULD YOU NOT BE LOUD FOR JUST A MINUTE?'

'B-But, Kyuubi! It's Sasuke! He's alive! How! Why!'

Kyuubi sighed 'Yeah, I know. Before I explain the whole thing to you, and to make things short, it's just that your wish came true.'

'What wish? The wish to have all the ramen in the world? The wish to revive Sasuke back to life? Or the-'

'No, idiot! The wish to turn back time.'

'Oh, that one. But how did it come true?'

'sigh That, kit, is going to be explained to you later. Right now, you have to release your death grip from him. He's already questioning why his rival, friend, and the person who sees him as a walking wallet to buy you ramen, is hugging him right now. It's not like he's going to disappear if you let him go. And give a reason why you're hugging him. A pathetic one will do.'

'Okay.'

Naruto unwrapped his arms from Sasuke's neck and gave a trademark grin and scratched the back of his neck. "Sorry, Sasuke! It was on reflex!" Naruto said cheerily.

If this is in an anime, you would've seen Kyuubi fell in the back of Naruto's head.

'You IDIOOOTTTT!'

'Whaaaatt? You said a pathetic one will do!'

'And tell me, HOW are you going to explain why it was on reflex?'

'….oops?'

"Reflex?" 'And here comes the dreaded question…'

'Think of an excuse…think of an excuse…Ahah!' Again, if this is an anime you would've seen a light bulb above Naruto's head.

"Yeah! Maybe it was because I'm used to glomp at you like that!"

'I know you're an idiot, but I didn't think you're THAT idiot, kit! No wonder Sasuke called you an Usuratonkachi(1)!'

'And may I ask why are you calling me an idiot now?'

'Well…maybe since the 12 year old Naruto is never used to glomping at his rival?'

'groan Why am I such an idiot?'

'snort You just noticed that now?' 'Shut up!'

"…huh…?" Naruto snapped out of his conversation with Kyuubi and concentrated to Sasuke.

'Now what am I supposed to say?'

'It's your fault being an idiot in the first place, so you think about it.'

'Hey! I'm serious, Kyuubi!'

'If you ask about my opinion, I'll say he'll never buy any excuses left, so…good luck on making a smart break out!'

'O-oi, Kyuubi!'

Naruto felt his connections with Kyuubi was cut down. Probably by the fox himself. He never wants to deal with problems. Lazy fox.

Then Naruto realized he's still in a quite dangerous and nerving situation and started to panic.

"Uh…it's…uh…well…it's…uh…forget what I said! It was nothing! You know…I've just awaken and all…" Naruto said, flailing his hands and shook his head, hoping Sasuke will let him go by that.

Fortunately for him, Sasuke just mumbled, "Hn, whatever Dobe." and frowned at him.

'Wait, was it disappointment on his face?'

After years of liking and observing (more like stalking) the raven haired ninja, the blonde started to be able to read his emotion. Even though he should not be able to in the age of 12, but he already could after bringing Sasuke back from The Sound.

'I didn't know Sasuke already liked me since we're still in Team 7… Ah, but who's complaining!'

Trying hard not to grin and failing, he said to Sasuke, "You're here to pick me up, right? Wait just a minute, I'll go change!"

Seeing Sasuke's approval by a nod, Naruto closed the door and quickly changed to his usual attire. 'Didn't want to make him to wait, you know.' Naruto thought.

He opened the door again and beamed at Sasuke. "Ready to go!"

"Hn. Dobe. Let's go."

"Don't call me that, Teme!" Naruto replied trying to act as natural as he can be. In the inside, he's jumping with joy and screaming 'SASUKE'S ALIVE! SASUKE'S ALIVE!' all over again.

And with that, they went to the training ground to meet up with their pink haired teammate and their lazy teacher.
