Chapter 3
NARUTO's POV-
Later that day
3 in the afternoon
Brriingg brriingg brriingg "It's unlocked!" I yelled at the door.
I had hoped that the person at the door would be Iruka or Kakashi-sensei. Hell even Kiba - telling me what a sick party yesterday's was. But, like always, I'd been wrong. Sitting in front of me - and the only thing separating us was the coffee table in my kitchen - was none other than Sasuke.
'Why was he here and what did he want? The bastard left me on the street. By myself. At night, in the dark. Something could have happened! And something did.' "I got jumped, by Sakura. Damnit." I thought to myself.
"What!?" Sasuke said practically jumping out of his chair. His eyes full of concern.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Opps, I guess not all of it was a thought.
"Um, I-it's nothing." Sasuke sat back down and said, "If you're wondering, I came to tell you that it was Sakura's mission not ours. She left about an hour ago."
"Okay, is that all you came here for?" I asked.
He let out a sigh and casually said, "No, it actually isn't."
"Then what do you what?" I asked him.
"I was hoping you'd let me use your internet." He told me.
"Huh, what for?" I asked him wondering why he asked me when he has his own internet.
"*Sigh*, Why so many questions? My internet isn't working and I just wanted to check facebook, that's all," Sasuke said looking directly into my eyes, "so, may I?"
I sighed knowing I wasn't going to win this, that I should just let him use it and leave it be.
'I don't want to be with him, I don't want him near me, but why do I resist that? Why do I hate it when I hear Sakura's name come from his mouth or when he talks about her? Why am I getting nervous just because he asked if he could use something of mine?'
"Fine, but you're using your phone." I said to him.
"Of, course." Sasuke said looking happy. 'Ah! His attitude! It has only ever changed that one time. One time...six years...ago.'
'You shouldn't have run away,'
"Haah, haah, haah," 'Why are you doing this? Stop it!' *Thud*
'Your next move would've stayed'
"Naruto, you dope-are you okay?" Sasuke asked.
'Next time don't fear that day'
"Stop it! Huh, th-they're gone." I said out loud, not meaning to.
"Naruto, what's wrong? Who's gone?" Sasuke asked.
I felt warm hands around my waist and a warm body against my back. The smooth sounding heartbeats from the other to me, like an alibi calling me and singing sweet lullabies. How I wished it was an angel from my dreams, how I wished I could stay like this forever. But like all good dreams this one had to end, weather I'd like it or not. And right now, I'm in a mix.
I had fallen out of my chair and into Sasuke's lap. Apparently, he just 'had' to save me from a fall two feet from the floor. It's his fault I have these voices inside my head. My therapist had told me they were the consequences from the guilt that I held. But guilt from what? He told me I would have to figure it out, that someday it would be as clear as day when I did. It was over four years ago that the voices finally stopped, to this day I still don't know what guilt I held to create those voices inside my head.
My thoughts wondered back to reality.
"Ah, teme. What the fuck! Don't try to save me in my own home. It's not cool." I yelled at him, scrambling to my feet. 'What am I doing, what am I saying? I have to stop this. I'm just happy they're gone, but why'd they come back?'
"Naruto, what's wr-" I interrupted him by saying, "It's nothing, I-I just saw a scary movie and remembered images from it, that's all."
"Oh, okay then. I'll go get the internet and turn it on." Sasuke said walking towards the desk and opening the drawer. He sat on my couch with his phone in his hand and the internet on the counter.
"Okay." Was all I could say as I walked to my room to fish out my laptop. I sat at the coffee table facing Sasuke -and sitting where he had previously sat not more than five minutes ago-and Sasuke facing I.
I had been planning on checking my e-mail or my blog page but I ended up chatting with people on facebook. Scratch that, with 'a person' on facebook. Which is stupid since were sitting like ten feet from each other. But at least I can say whatever and not have to feel nervous, kind of.

Sasuke: Can i hav dinner, i didn't eat any lunch-_-
Naruto: Fine we'll eat wat u brought over, i only hav cup ramen^.^
It was after six when I got off the computer and Sasuke off his phone, which ran out of battery soon after we stopped texting. We ate the eel that Sasuke had bought from the store.
"You should probably be getting home now, Sasuke." I said while putting my dishes in the sink.
"Yeah, yeah. I know." Sasuke said walking toward me and set his plate on the counter.
I turned the hot water on and began scrubbing the plate. Watching the bubbles foam on and drip off the dish.
Warmth filled my entire body. My heart thumped faster with each breath, and my skin sensitive to touch. My mind dizzy from the scent of cinnamon, the same sent from my first kiss. My face heated up, but realization pulled it back down and froze.
'Was it happening again? Is it just my imagination? Is my nightmare just beginning? No, no I can't let this happen. I...can't but...why? Why!?'
"Ah..S-Sasuke? What the hell are you doing?" I couldn't really speak out of nervousness. I just wanted it to be over and be alone, but a part of me wanted the warmth and stay comforted. 'No, it's just too weird. He has to get off of me, now.'
"You looked a little cold, so I came to share my heat." Sasuke whispered in my ear. 'Why? Why am I so weak? Just tell him, tell him straight off-'
"Get off of me!" I shouted to him. And I unknowingly threw the plate at the wall, shattering it to pieces. I felt water run down my arms from the faucet and tears on my cheek. 'I just want it to stop. Please, I just want to be friends, I don't know how much more I can handle.' I broke free from his hold and tried to run to the room, I almost made it.
"Naruto, be careful!" Sasuke shouted as firm hands grabbed my waist and lifted me in the air. I was twirled for a second and set down in front of the sink, back to square one.
"You almost stepped on the broken glass and cut your foot. Are you okay? Naruto?" Sasuke questioned, finally letting go of me. I stepped back and slid onto the floor, hands and knees covering my crying face. 'I will not let him see me like this. I need to get out of here.'
"..ase go ome...suke." I muffled into my hands. Probably not loud enough though.
"What?" Sasuke asked putting a hand on my knee. 'Enough!'
"Please go home Sasuke! Please." I yelled then softened my voice to him. I had taken my hands off of my face and stood up. I went to go sit on the couch when a hand grabbed my shoulder and spun me around.
"Please wait, Naruto. I'm sorry but," Sasuke said inching closer to me. With his thumb he wiped away the tears about my face. Lips brushed against mine putting me into a trance and pushing me on. 'Ah...cinnamon...no I...I can't, but.'
I began to kiss him back. I'm feeling so...lost. But I like this feeling it feels so right, but no it feels wrong all the same. I quickly pulled back, pushing the dazed look out of my eyes.
"Mah, haah, haah." I panted as we separated and stepped away from Sasuke, showing him the door.
"Um, I'll go. See you tomorrow." Sasuke quietly said walking toward the door, but stopped before opening it and said, "Sorry, bye."
"B-bye." I was so pissed at myself and at Sasuke. I put my hand over my mouth and ran to my room. All I could do was lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about what went over this past day and a half. 'What just happened and why did I kiss him back? Shit!'
What was the point to all this? Sakura, Sasuke and I join the same team. Sasuke, all of a sudden, wants to become my friend. He asks me to dinner, ends up making out with me, and abandons me as a friend. Six years later Sakura wants to become friends and Sasuke tries to make up for lost time. And I unconsciously took the bait for it. And that ended with me getting my second kiss stolen from the same person. Plus it created new questions, new feelings, and new heart throbs. 'I wish I knew what Sasuke was doing to me.'
