M for Full-Blown Teenage SasuNaru Lovers.

A/N: Read or Die! (Not really) I've only gotten three reviews. Three! That's a total hit to my ego. I can just see my self-confidence blow out the window swiftly, as swiftly as it had come…

Okay here's the deal. 3 reviews. Just three per chapter and I'll be booming with aspiration. I mean I know three isn't all "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" but I can live with it. And I promise, that I will answer all of your questions and fix my mistakes when someone comments on them. I'm a very easy-going person, it's just that I would really like to have more comments, feedback, responses, criticism. How ever you want to say it.

So THREE. Just THREE. And I will update quickly and every chapter will hold a new happening -Translation, a really wicked cool twist of events.

And not to sound like a total narcissist. But, this is my first story, and I don't think this is a very bad start to my writing career. I mean, I thought of the plot, ON MY OWN. I liked it, it was original. At least I'm pretty sure it is.

Chapter Three: Forbidden Laughter

--

Sasuke trudged into the meek den where he resided with his older sibling. His dark obsidian eyes glanced around in search for his brother, he wasn't there, with a sigh of relief he dumped himself on the hard surface that was meant to be his bed. He watched the ceiling with glazed over eyes as he remembered the happenings of the night before. Those bright blue cerulean eyes that always seemed to burn into his heart, also haunted his mind. In just a few days, the emotions he was raised to forget came rushing back at him at full speed. No mercy.

He sighed and rolled over, barring his head in a pillow. "Sasuke-kun!" A high-pitched vice screeched out. He inwardly groaned and sat up, waiting for his mate to barge in. The door opened with a bang and a pink blur whizzed by before attaching to his arm. He glared at her heatedly, yet she was still oblivious to that fact that he did not want her near him.

The white ears on top of the pink mess of hair twitched happily. "Sakura, go." He said with a firm, yet calm tone radiating from his voice.

"But Sasuke-kun." She whined a forced out on her lips. Sasuke took one look and couldn't help but remember the blonde vulpine. His pout is much cuter, Sasuke thought to himself. Maybe the reason he so fondly remembered the blonde was because, Naruto never lied to him, or showed him a fake face. He, who was so accustomed to false emotions, found it quite refreshing to meet someone so different, yet who shared the same views.

"Sasuke!" Sakura whined once more, as she pulled on his arm. Making sure her breasts so snuggly touched his pale skin.

Sasuke gagged to himself. "Repulsive." He whispered.

"What?" she asked sweetly, not hearing what the raven had muttered.

He looked over to her and quickly stood up, shaking her off in the process. "Sakura, I have to leave."

Her jade eyes widened a bit. "But, why!?" She screeched. "You just got here."

He rolled his eyes and headed for the door before a person stepped up to block the way. "She's right little brother," an emotionless voice stabbed into Sasuke's eardrums. "you did just get back." Sasuke quickly turned his gaze up to his older brothers who stared at him with crimson red eyes.

"Move Itachi." Sasuke glared heatedly.

He didn't way anything, just merely lifted his head up in a superior way before moving aside. Sasuke scuttled through. Without another thought he headed away from his damp and dark living area. He hated it. Despised it. It shouldn't even exist. And this is when, deep down, he truly wished that this spat was over between the vulpines and lupines. For the vulpines were the ones to give the lupines the desire to kill, to get revenge. And slowly before Sasuke new it, his heart once again turned cold.

"Naruto." A calm voice said smoothly.

"What?" The blonde teen muttered, opening his eyes that had just before been shielded from it.

"Shouldn't we go to school?" the redhead asked, as he calmly sat by his friend.

Naruto sat up with a quick roll of his eyes. "Since when did it matter? We always skipped." He stood up and stretched, as he gave way to a yawn. An idea stuck Naruto's mind. "You go back." He quickly stated.

Gaara raised one intangible eyebrow.

"And where are you going?" He asked.

"To my tree." He muttered. "To see my friend."

"I'm coming." Gaara said walking past Naruto.

"What! Why?" Naruto shouted as he grabbed his friends arm.

"Why does it matter? I already know about the lupine."

Naruto looked down, his ears in synch with his head. His tail drooped down also. "I told him I wouldn't tell anybody."

"So?"

"So!? I promised." Naruto screeched and fell to the dry grassy area beneath him.

Gaara inwardly sighed and turned to his friend. "He won't care," He began. "If you told your best friend about him. It would actually be logical. To tell at least one person what you have been doing I mean." He said before walking on. Naruto's ears lifted and he smiled.

"Thanks Gaara." He said to himself before running to catch up with his friend.

-:-

After about an hour of running the two vulpine finally made it. The younger of the two, Naruto, was panting excessively, while Gaara stood poised and calm. As if he hadn't been running full speed for forever. "Look Gaara," Naruto squeaked between pants. "It's that tree." He pointed one of his fingers toward the big oak tree. And as Gaara saw, acorns we just beginning to fabricate. The ravine trickled through the many rocks located in it's vicinity, and some small fish jumped up and down. A nice nature setting, even though they were always in nature, they still dreamed of places like this to live in.

Naruto grinned broadly and ran to the oak tree with all his might, once reaching it he quickly scaled up the bark and took a seat in his usual nighttime position. Gaara calmly walked over and looked up and the blonde who was currently pulling small acorn buds of the tree.

"You shouldn't Naruto." Gaara said impassively like always. "to that tree, those buds are like it's babies."

Gaara gave a small smirk as Naruto looked at him with a face of disbelief. He quickly turned back to the tree and began replacing them into there original spots. When they fell to the ground, Naruto wailed with frustration. "It won't take them back. It's as if she doesn't want her babies." Naruto said jumping to the ground.

Gaara gave a light chuckle and looked back to his friend. "Naruto you really are a-"

"Moron." A strong voice finished coolly.

Naruto looked over to see his best lupine friend around. "Sasuke!" Naruto breathed happily. A slight shocked expression passed over his features, then his bright cerulean eyes began scanning the sky. "It's still midday, what are you doing here?"

"That was my question, dope." Sasuke retorted.

"Oh, I wanted to bring my best friend over, so-" Naruto stopped as he felt Sasuke's eyes drill into him. Looking back over he realized Sasuke was angry. Naruto stopped smiling and looked at his wolf friend, who looked like he wanted to murder the fox. Sasuke's black ears were pressed tightly against the top of his raven black locks, and his tail swished angrily. He began to walk toward Naruto, with the intent to kill, or at least strangle.

The blonde just stood there, intimidated, his tail curled around his legs and his ears twitched nervously as they took cover in his blonde spikes. When Sasuke was three feet away, Naruto screamed. "No Sasuke, don't kill me." Klunk!

Naruto stood straight up, and Sasuke just stared surprised. Naruto reverted his eyes to the ground where a big acorn lay, a few inches from his foot. He put a hand on his head and whined, "Oww!" He complained, rubbing his head in the process.

The still surprised Sasuke just watched, slowly his lips twitched. He quickly put a pale hand over his mouth, and turned away so he could see the blonde from the corner of his eye.

Gaara watched quietly a few feet away at the antics of the two.

"Stupid acorn!" Naruto said chucking it at the tree. Bad idea. Multiple small buds rained down on him, as well as the one he through retaliating and hitting him square in the forehead. Sasuke's black wolf ear twitched. He closed his eyes tightly. "So stupid.," Naruto began. "That tree is the enemy of all foxes everywhere." Naruto felt himself slip on a moss covered rock. He closed his eyes tightly. Splash!

Water flew everywhere and the young fox, sat there a crimson blush spread over his tanned face.

Sasuke couldn't help it. Small fits of laughter erupted from the ravens core. " Naruto, you moron." He said between chuckles. Naruto just stared at Sasuke surprised, before he joined in on the laughter.

Gaara just watched the two. Also surprised, but hid it. Naruto smiled all the time, and laughed all the time. But when he's laughing with Sasuke. It almost sounds happier than all the other times.

But it's forbidden, Gaara thought tragically. Even though he's the leader's son, he would be banished, maybe even worse. Gaara watched as Sasuke walked over a smirk visible on his features, he leaned down and offered a hand. And Naruto with a mischievous glint pulled the wolf boy down in the water as well. Sasuke's smirk faded and he punched the blonde squarely on the head, but Gaara observed, not with all his strength.

The laughter once again erupted from the two. Gaara turned his head away and looked into the dense forest where Sasuke had emerged from, laughter is not allowed during war.
