Chapter Five: Into the Forest

(Naruto's POV)

"Field trip to the woods? The one behind the school? Isn't it full of animals that could probably eat us alive?" I asked finishing the peanut butter and jelly sandwich Kakashi made me this morning. I sigh happily and now start to understand why Iruka likes the pervert so much. He can make delicious sandwiches.

"Yup, please don't tell me you won't go. Still scared of ghost, Naruto?" Shikamaru sighed. "What a drag."

"I am not scared of ghost!" I practically yell at him. Shikamaru gives me a bored look and pushes his tray of food to Choji.

"Huh uh, sure. The last time we ventured into the woods one Halloween, you nearly pissed your pants. Yelling something about a ghost, and what not." Ino added and sipped on her sweet tea.

"Says the one you cried when Kiba and I dyed your hair pink." I snorted and Kiba shot chocolate milk out of his nose and choked on his pizza. Shino slapped him hard in the back causing Kiba to snarl at him like a dog.

"That's a completely different situation." Ino replied coolly.

I stare at her through slitted eyes. "How so? We both were victims of a prank and we both cried at the end of it." Letting my pride slip up, I did admit that I cried after Kiba jumped out of the fake ghost in the woods.

"All true, but when you dyed my hair pink, I cried because I looked like Billboard Brow, you cried because you were scared." Sakura popped up just then and poked Ino's forehead before sitting next to her. "And I didn't pee myself either." She added and Kiba barked with laughter.

"I did not pee myself so stop saying I did!" I yell at her and jab at her with a plastic fork. She looked bored and not frightened at all with the fork in her face. Ino grabbed my fork, snapped it in half and threw it into the trash bin behind her.

I stare at her in shock. I look down dumbly at my hand, and then slowly blink at Ino. "My fork."

My voice cracked and sounded all squeaky and high pitched.

"Shouldn't have pointed it in my face." Ino shrugged, and Choji handed me his. I took it and slowly poked at the blob of green stuff the lunch lady called peas. Yeah, I'm not eating it, it looks like it's breathing. And, oh my god, is that hair? Yup, pushing it to Choji. Here you go big guy.

"Yeah, yeah, I know that now, thanks." I stare coldly at her and she smiles. Turning to Sakura, they begin to have a heated conversation and they make sure that they are the only ones that can hear what they were talking about. The last time I tried listening to their conversation, Sakura hit me with her Sakura chop and went home with a few bumps on my head.

Turning back to Shikamaru and the rest of the guy's, I push my tray to Choji, who happily takes it. "So tell me why we are going into the woods again?" I ask, I'm not sure why Iruka would take us there, I think he mentioned it yesterday at dinner, but I was too busy thinking about the kiss with Sasuke, and his poem.

"Well, I heard that we are starting another project in his class, and he wants to give us a little break in between the poetry and this one. So it's a free day. " Kankuro, whom already had

Iruka's class, answers my question. I relax a bit.

"Don't get too comfortable Naruto. Remember the murder that happened in that woods. A girl and her boyfriend were going on a date and decided to use a short cut to arrive earlier. After getting lost, they began to notice that something was off. No birds chirping, no wind howling, there was an eery silence. They ventured deeper into the woods and came upon a cabin.

Deciding to ask for directions, the couple entered the cabin. Noting that it was empty, they left only to find the front door shut and locked. All means of escaped were blocked and they began to panic. Soon a crazed man with a screw for an eye caught them. Thinking they were stealing his possessions, he used a fork to cut out their eyes and used them for his own. It's safe to say the couple never made it to their date. People say that this couple of ghost haunt other couples and try to possess them so they can finally finish their date, but they end up killing the host, and they still haunt the woods together." Kiba says in a scary husky voice.

I gulp and shake off the goose bumps on my arms and legs. "Ha, there's no such thing as ghost. Stop it Kiba." Kiba was staring at me like a grew a second look and began shuttering.

Then I realized he was looking behind me. Kiba's eyes widen and I felt fear prick my heart.

"N-na-naru-to. Whatever y-you d-do. Do-n't look b-be-hind you." Kiba warned but of course I decide to look. You can't tell me to not do something and expect me to listen.

Turning slowly, someone jumps at me and claps their hands, causing a loud slapping noise.

"Boo!" The person yelled in my ear. I screamed and jumped six feet in the air and unto the floor. I close my eyes and use the tray as a weapon and began swinging it around in the air.

"Go away! Ghosts aren't real. If I can't see it, it can't see me." Words flew out of my mouth, and I notice that my hitting air and slowly blink my eyes open. Kiba, Choji, Ino, Sakura, Lee, and the rest of the people at my table were laughing hard. Even Shikamaru was chuckling along with them. I look up at the offender and my eyes widen and then narrow.

Sasuke.

"You damn bastard! You gave me a freaking heart attack! God, I seriously dislike all of you at the moment." I throw the tray at Sasuke, who easily catches it.

Sasuke's face was scrunched up, meaning he's trying to hold his laughter in. He offers a hand to help me up, but I swat it away. Throwing a angry glare at all of them, I storm out of the café.

I let my feet lead me to Iruka's room. I was about to open the door when I look through the glass window. Iruka was sitting in his desk chair, pen still in hand. Kakashi was sitting in front of him in between his legs. Iruka had one hand holding the pen on some paper and they other was pulling Kakashi's mask down. They kiss passionately and I look away.

I decided not to ruin their moment. They haven't had a playful or romantic night in a while because of me, so instead I lean against the wall and slowly sink to the floor.

Taking out my poem, I read over it. Most of my friends know about how my parents are dead, and everyone knows Iruka adopted me. I can guess that Sasuke knows about my dead parents since he overheard me that one day.

But he doesn't know the pain I felt inside, even though I put a smile on everyday. He probably thinks that I'm so strong to be able to walk away everyday with a smile on my face. But he doesn't know that I was always sad and hurt once I was alone.

I read my poem to myself.

1) Wake up to the sun shining on my face.

2) I smile, and then remember the hole in the ceiling above my head.

3) Walking to the kitchen, I smile as I smell breakfast being made.

4) Then I look out the kitchen window and see the neighbors eating happily.

5) My stomach growls and I smile, patting my stomach.

6) Then I remember that there's no food in the kitchen.

7) I smile when I hear my father enter the house and my name being called.

8) Then I see my father drunk and asking for some more whiskey.

9) I smile as I look at the happy faces of my friends.

10) Then I turn and see the hated and disgusted looks from all the others.

11) Looking away, I smile and think to myself 'I'm loved, it doesn't matter what others think.'

12) Then I look around me, and no one is there. 'I'm invisible'. 'They don't care'. 'Whatever'.

13) Then I smile, telling myself that it will get better and crying won't make things better.

14) But I couldn't help thinking. 'No one will see my pain or tears, so it's ok to cry.'

15) Heading home slowly, 'Someone will love me one day, I just can't give up. Believe it!'

I couldn't help but think that it fit nicely with Sasuke's also personal poem. Deciding to find Sasuke and have him read it, and re-write it on his paper to turn in, I stand up and ran down the hallway. I turn the corner sharply and ran into a brick wall. Falling down I grab the person's arm to stop my falling, but end up pulling the person with me.

The person falls in between my legs and their head hits my stomach hard. Gasping for air, I feel the person tense up and sit up immediately. "Ow shit, you oka-" I look up and see Sasuke lying in between my legs, rubbing his head. "Oh, it's you. Never mind."

"Dobe, what's that supposed to mean?" Sasuke rubs his head and stands up. His knee brushes over my groin, and I left out a soft mewl. He looks down at me, his face pale and his eyes wide. I slap a hand over my mouth and shake my head.

"You didn't hear a thing, alright? And what are you doing?" I said in a hurried voice. Sasuke offers me a hand and this time I accepted it and he helped pull me up. Pulling me flush against his chest, I feel his breath on my cheek and I feel myself melt into his touch.

Sasuke freezes and stops breathing. Feeling disgusted at myself for loving the way he feels against me, I pull away and stare at the floor.

"Well, you ran away and I came to check on you. Also, I wanted to know if you finished your poem so I can combine them." Sasuke says his usual cold and bored voice. Bastard. Wait. Check on me.

"Oh, yeah. I finished it. Here you go. I know it's not the best, but I'm sure you won't mind. And, I made it longer than ten lines, I hope you don't mind." I forced a smile, but on the inside I was freaking out. I remembered how Sasuke's poem put me in tears. I wonder who the ray of light is? Even Sasuke can have a crush on someone.

Sasuke shrugs and takes my poem from my hand. "Mine was longer than ten too, so it would be unfair if I did say something." I smiled and watched him read my poem.

I felt my heart flutter as I saw his lips moving as he read the paper. He looked deep in thought and re-read the poem. Rare emotions flickered in his eyes before disappearing and then reappearing a second later.

His eyes began to attain a glassy look, and a sparking tear slid down his pale cheek. He quickly wiped it away and took slow calming breaths. Soon he looked like nothing happened. He folded the paper and stuff it in his back pocket and turned around.

Walking away, he looks behind his shoulder. Waving a hand at me, "Great poem, fits well with mine, don't you think?" I stare at him frozen to the spot.

He smirked and turned fully to face me. He nodded his head, motioning behind him. "You coming dobe? Or do you plan to stand in the middle of the hallway looking like a ghost." Sasuke snickered, and I balled my fist.

Smiling - glad that it wasn't forced - I shook a fist at him and jogged to catch up to him. "Damn bastard. I'm still mad at you for scaring the shit out of me back there." I playfully punch him in the shoulder and he turns around and slaps me in the back of my head.

"Sorry not sorry. That was priceless and your scream was adorable, along with the way you whimpered and shook underneath me." Sasuke smirked slyly and I felt like punching him. I settled with a hard shove against his shoulder. Getting one back.

"Whatever." I smiled to myself. "Teme." I looked away, trying to hide my forming blush.

"Dobe,"

Shouldn't have looked away because I missed a rare smile and a look full of love.

{::}

"Good afternoon class. I'm sure you all heard what we are doing today, and I'm here to say that's it true. So make sure you leave everything in the class and go wait in the hallway." Iruka clapped his hands cheerfully and grabbed the classroom keys.

"Also, class, I'm sure you've seen him around but I should introduce you guys to each other. This guy standing over there." Iruka points to his office door and everyone turns and looks at the silver hair man leaning on the door with his hands in his pocket.

"His name is Kakashi Hatake, and he will be escorting us around the woods. Wave, and act excited and behave." Iruka bit that last part out. I smirk at him and then turn to Kakashi.

Kakashi catches my eye, and I wave enthusiastically . Kakashi smiles and barely nods. I fake a loud gasp and point a finger at Kakashi. Turning my head to Iruka, I glare at him. "If we have to act excited and behave, so should the bastard!" I yell. Iruka's eye twitches and I see him shaking a bit. Shit. I did it this time.

"Kakashi, please don't annoy Naruto. Don't make me do you know what." Iruka said, glaring daggers at Kakashi. I turn back to Kakashi and smirk. Kakashi's smile faded into a scowl and I know its for me.

"Yeah Kakashi. Listen to mom. Don't make him take sex away. That would kill you." The class erupted into laughter and Kakashi sweat dropped. If I was looking at Iruka, I'm sure he was beet red, and if looks could kill, I would be laying 6 feet under by now.

"No ramen for you for the next month." Iruka yelled and ushered Kakashi and I out of the room with the rest of the class. I turned around and stomped my foot, pouting at Iruka. He just glared and pointed to the exit. Then I looked over at Kakashi. He pulled out a book and shrugged.

I pouted even more at Iruka but he didn't break. "C'mon Naruto. There's ghost waiting for us in the woods. Leave them alone." Kiba called from the exit down the hall. He was holding the door, waiting.

Crossing my arms over my chest, I stomp my way down the hall. "Humph." Then a thought hit me.

This works every time. My inner fox demon grinned demonically and chuckled darkly.

Turning back to Iruka, and Kakashi -who were holding hands and whispering to each other - I wave my hand and catch their attention. I was already out of the door and a little ways to the woods. I waited until they were out of the door and Kiba ran past me to catch up with the rest of the class. They were waiting at the gate that leads to the woods.

"I guess tonight I will just have to make sure I'm extra loud and horny." I call out to them. Iruka lets go of Kakashi's hand and starts charging at me. Kakashi quickly wraps his arms under Iruka's arms and holds him back. I smile sweetly before running to Kiba and squeezing myself in between him and Hinata. Jeez, these two have gotten really close lately.

"What the hell was that all about?" Kiba asked. I shrugged and glanced at Hinata. She was blushing and twirling her thumbs. Oh, they have gotten close. And I just stepped in between

them. Stupid me.

Smiling, I stepped around Hinata, and bumped into her. She stumbled over into Kiba, who caught her. His arms were around her waist and her face was pressed into his chest. Kiba looked surprised and happy.

Hinata quickly fixed herself and began apologizing. Kiba looked over her head and at me. I whistled and looked everywhere but them. Then throwing a side glance, my eyes lock with Kiba's. He nods, and I wiggle my eyebrows in a suggestive manner. Kiba barked out with

laughter that shook his whole body.

Smiling, I watched Iruka open the gate and lead us into the woods. Kiba, Shino, Choji, and Shikamaru leading the rest of us. Sasuke was in the back being trailed by Sakura and Ino. They really need to get a better life. Let's see. Did I bring my rubber snake and spider. Gotta get them back for the lunch fiasco.

Sai, who was walking next to me, looked over my shoulder, and grinned at what was in my hands. Hinata did too, she smiled and gave me a thumbs up. Who knew she had a playful side?

"Alright, I will get Ugly, and you get Uglier." Sai whispered and I handed him the snake.

I gave him a confused look. "Who's who again?"

"Huh, I will get Ino and you get Sakura." I smiled darkly and nodded at Sai. We split up and walk backwards in different directions. I spread out more into the trees and I hold up a hand, and we both wait until Sakura and Ino pass us.

After a few seconds, I hold up two fingers and point them toward. We both creep up on our prey. I watch as the giggle at something. Completely oblivious.

I walk up behind Sakura, and throw the spider on her head. Squealing loudly enough to wake the dead, her hands reached up to her head and she flicked the rubber spider off. At the same time, Sai walked next to Ino and threw the snake in front of her feet. I watched her blue eyes grow wide as she screamed 'SNAKE!'

The whole class turned around and looked at the two screaming girls. Sai and I fall to the floor, laughing. My body shakes as my fist pound the forest floor. I grab the discarded spider and hold it up to Sakura. Her screaming instantly stops and her face turns red.

"NARUTO! WHEN WILL YOU GROW UP?!" She yelled and held a fist up. I was too busy laughing to notice her fist. I stand up, grabbing my stomach. Still laughing, I look up at her.

Noticing the killing intent in her eyes, I choke on a laugh and gulp.

In the next three seconds, I'm in the floor again. Not because I was laughing, but because Sakura punched me so hard I fell backwards. Unlike me, Ino jumped into Sai's arms and he was grinning like a champ.

Realization hit me like a bitch.

"You son of a bitch Sai. You knew Ino would react like that and purposely chose her. And damn Sakura that hurt." I groan as I stand up again.

Hearing a faint, "Language, Naruto," from Iruka, I grin proudly. Towering Sakura with my height, I look down at her.

"I'm sorry. But I had to get you and Ino back for lunch. And this was the perfect moment." I wiped a tear away, and chuckled softly.

Sakura sighed and then smiled. "Yeah whatever, you big goofball." She got on her tiptoes and ruffled my already messy hair. Her tone was soft and forgiving and I reveled in her touch.

Sakura loves me too much to stay mad at me for too long. She's my best friend after all. Then her tone turns hard and cold. "But do that again, and I will make sure you never have babies. Understood?" She tugged roughly on my hair causing me to swat away her hands.

"Ow, yeah yeah." She pulled again. I cringed. "OW! Yes, ok, I get it! Now let go of my gorgeous hair." She smiled and let go. I rubbed my scalp and pouted. I turned a icy look at Sai who was comforting Ino.

Of course. How could I forget? They're dating.

The class continued their way down a worn path in the forest. It was nice and peaceful. Birds flew around, chirping happily, and the wind played a sweet melody as it whipped through trees.

Leaves and flowers fell upon the ground. I was smiling. I looked ahead and saw Kakashi and Iruka holding hands again and Iruka pointing at things and blabbering and Kakashi smiling and nodding. I felt my heart swell with happiness. Everything was ok for once, well it could be if that was Sasuke and I.

Said person bumped into me, causing me to trip over my own foot. I saw the floor becoming bigger and bigger as I fell. But in an instant arms wrapped around my chest and I was pulled back unto my feet.

"Jesus, you're heavier than you look." Sasuke huffed and smoothed his clothes down.

I turned around in his grip and jabbed a finger in his chest, hard. I was too mad at him shoving me that I didn't realize that Sasuke's arms moved to my waist and we stopped walking with the group.

"Shut up teme, are you in a bad mood today?"

"Why would you think that dobe?"

"Well, let's go back in time. First, you scare the shit out of me at lunch, then you bump into my in the hallway, knocking me over-"

"You pulled me down with you, we're even." Sasuke interrupted. I ignored him and continued talking as if he didn't say anything. "Then you tease me all through the rest of lunch, and in Sex Ed today you snapped a condom on my cheek and that freaking hurt, and you kept making fun of my inexperience and shit like that, and now you're tripping me again." I huffed and puffed, my hands still on his chest, pinching him every now and then.

"I merely bumped into you by accident, you're the one that tripped over your own feet." He smirked.

I slapped his chest hard and he groan in pain, and tightened his arms around me for a second. That's when I realized his arms were still around me. They hung loosely now, but they were still there. Where they belong.

"Ow," He faked a pained expression and pout. I smiled up at him. He returned my smile with his infamous smirk.

"That's what you get bastard. Karma's a bitch." I chuckle happily.

Sasuke leaned down and I flinched when his lips brushed the shell of my ear. "What can I do to make it up to you?" He purred. Purred. Damn it! Kyuubi is awake now.

(Naruto named Naruto Jr. Kyuubi, I thought it would be funny)

Thinking quickly, which is new for me, I pulled out of his embrace and walked ahead a bit. Kakashi's head just disappeared from site. "Ramen would be great. Iruka banned it, and mom's word is law."

"Ramen it is. I still don't get how you that unhealthy shit, but if you like it, then I will treat you to some." Sasuke smirked and his arms fell limp at his sides. They felt so right against me.

"I don't get how you eat that healthy shit called tomatoes." I replied and smiled. "Let's catch up." I nod towards the disappearing class.

Sasuke smirked and began taking long strides that matched mine since we are close in height. Him beating me by a few inches.

Sasuke's arms wrapped my chest and pulled me into his chest. Sasuke began stroking my sides and one hand grabbed a butt cheek. I moaned into his chest and I felt his groan rumbled through his chest and out his mouth.

His other hand slipped underneath my shirt and rubbed up my back and he pushed his half hard erection into mine. Sighing happily, I begin rocking my hips into his searching for that heavenly friction.

Sasuke forced a knee in between my legs and rubbed my groin. I felt myself melting into him. Sasuke noticed too and pushed me into the tree behind us.

"Sasuke, the others...nghhh..." I started with words, but as Sasuke rubbed his thigh against my cock, my voice trailed off into a moan.

"Don't care. They can all see that you are mine. How 'bout it? We'll give them a show." I could feel Sasuke's smirk against my neck before he latched his hot mouth on my neck. I tilted my head to the side and fisted his hair.

"Sasuke...that feels good." I barely managed to say as I felt his hot tongue slip out and lick my neck to my ear lobe. Sucking softly I mewled and pleaded for more.

"Tell me what you want." Sasuke asked in a rushed voice. He too was losing his cool and control.

"You." I stated simply like it was obvious.

He smirked and tilted my head up. He pulled me into a hot and desperate kiss. I felt his hand move from my ass to my crotch. Palming me through my jeans, I break the kiss and cry out.

I knew it felt good when I jerk off, but this is totally different. Sasuke hummed and rubbed harder. I felt his thumb and forefinger work together to undo the button and pull the zipper down. I sighed as the heavy weight was pulled off my cock. Now just the boxers were left.

Sasuke palmed me once more through my boxers. I squirmed and thrust my hip forward into his hand. A hand gripped my hip and pushed me into the tree. "Patience Naruto." Sasuke's husky voice stilled me and I felt Kyuubi harden even more.

"Please Sasuke." I wiggled a bit more as his hand stroked me through my boxers. His hand dipped into my boxers and my breath hitched. I held my breath and could hear my heartbeat beat rapidly in my ears.

Sasuke's fingers twirled in my pubic hair before he hooked his thumb in the elastic of the boxers and tugged him down to join my jeans. I breathed when the final material was off my straining cock. Kyuubi sprang free and slapped against my stomach before standing out proud.

"So big," Sasuke hummed as he sank to his knees. I closed my eyes and waited to be sucked off. But it never came. "Naruto look at me." Sasuke whispered and I shivered at his hot breath had my dick twitching with need.

I looked down into dark pools of lust and the second our eyes locked, Sasuke took the head of my cock in his mouth and gave a hard suck.

"Sasuke!"

"Yes, Naruto?" Sasuke asked looking at me.

"Huh? I didn't say anything." I looked at him confused.

"Yes you did. You practically yelled out my name." Sasuke said, amused glint in his eyes.

"I thought I saw something, sorry." I lied quickly. The look on Sasuke's face said that he didn't believe me, but he shrugged anyway.

"Hn." That ended our conversation and I looked away, blushing. Missed another smile.

(Sasuke's thoughts happening at the same time as Naruto's)

I pulled Naruto up and grunted as his weight crashed against me. I didn't mind now. Since he's this close he can feel how hard he's making me.

I wrapped my arms loosely around his hips so it wouldn't freak him out. He began ranting about me being an ass and a bastard, but I'm just watching his full pink lips move. I felt myself hardening more at the thought of those lips being put to better use.

"Hey are you even listening to me? Bastard? HELLLOOOOO?" Naruto began pinching my chest and accidently pinched my nipple. I moaned and felt Naruto tense up in my arms. That shut him up.

Naruto looked at me with lust full eyes. I felt my stomach twist and turn and I decided; Fuck it.

I leaned down and pressed my lips on his. Forcing his lips apart, I snake my tongue into his wet mouth and probe his tongue alive. Sooner than I thought, Naruto returned my kiss and sucked lightly on my tongue. I pushed Naruto against the nearest tree and ran my hands over his body. Pausing in my search, I grabbed his ass and gave it a big squeeze. Naruto moaned into the kiss, breaking it.

I latched my mouth on his neck and sucked harshly, marking him as mine. Naruto bucked his hips against mine, and I felt how hard he has become. Smirking, my hands went to the front of his jeans and unbuttoned them.

I removed his jeans and Naruto stepped out of them. Next to go was his boxers. I stroked his cock, and marveled at how big he is. Too bad he's taking it this time.

I spit onto my hand and pumped him a few times before kicking his legs further apart. Using my spit and his precum, I lubed my fingers up and traced his puckered hole. Naruto whined and pressed his ass against my finger. The tip pushed through the first ring of muscle, and I watched Naruto lower himself onto my finger. He slides back up and I added another finger as he slid back down. He moaned at the added finger, but continued moving.

"Please, more." He whined and wiggled his ass. I smirked and added a third finger. I pulled them as far as I could without pulling them out, and shoved them back in, hard. Naruto cried out, a few birds fluttered away.

I pulled out, and pushed back in, twisting my wrist. Naruto spread his legs some more and purred. I thrust my fingers faster and bent them into a hook. I was searching for that special spot and probe around in Naruto some more. Finding it, Naruto gasped loudly, and bucked his hips down on my fingers. I pulled out and smirked at Naruto's whimper at the lost of fingers. Ah, but you're getting something so much better.

I tugged my sweats and boxers down at the same time and pumped myself a few times to spread my precum around my enlarged shaft. I smirked at the fact that I'm longer than Naruto, but he's thicker.

I positioned myself and I felt Naruto wrap his arms around my neck and pull me into a heated kiss. With that, I find his stretched hole, and slam in and begin moving without waiting for him to get use to the feel of me.

"Sasuke!"

Naruto's scream pulled me out of my thought's and I looked over at Naruto's flushed face. Having naughty thought too, huh?

"Yes, Naruto?" I tried my best to hide my amusement in my voice.

(Back to Naruto)

Once I saw Kakashi's silver hair, I jogged up to him and threw my arms around him and Iruka.

"Hey guys!" We should have a movie tonight and order ramen." Iruka and Kakashi laughed and let go of each other's hand and trapped me in between them.

"I do believe I said no ramen for a month." Iruka put a finger on his mouth and tilted his head up in fake thoughts.

"But Mommmmm, I love ramen." I whined. Iruka swatted my head in annoyance and huffed.

"I thought I told you not to call me that."

"Yeah Naruto. Listen to your mother." Kakashi said in a stern voice and puffed his chest out.

Iruka leaned over me to slap the back of Kakashi's head. "I will make you sleep on the couch and I will make you, Naruto, wait two months before I buy you ramen."

"Whatttt? But Iruka, it's ramen." I sloughed and looked up at Iruka with my famous puppy dog eyes. I watch Iruka fight an internal fight before looking away and covering his eyes.

"No means no, Naruto." Iruka finally said.

I shrugged and dropped my arms from their shoulders. "Fine, doesn't matter. Sasuke is going to take me out to some." I humphed, and ran ahead and slowed next to Hinata, and Kiba.

Kiba was whispering something in Hinata's ear, and she nodded. I nudged Hinata, and she beamed at me. I looked at her, then at Kiba, and back at her, and wiggled my eyebrows suggestively.

Hinata blushed and then giggled. "Instead of helping other's with their love life, why don't you work on yours?"

"Me? Have a love life? You give me too much credit Hinata." I laughed and she gave me a stern look. I instantly freeze and fear for my life.

"I know who you like Uzumaki. And I think it's quite adorable and perfect. You two are polar opposites, and we all know opposites attract. I mean , look at me and Kiba. I come off as a quiet and shy girl, while Kiba is loud and brash. Complete opposites, but we both love each other." Hinata poked me in the ribs. I rubbed the sore spot.

"Well, you got the loud part right. Don't forget that you are attractive and smart, while Kiba is good-looking and dumb as a door knob." I laugh but Hinata pokes me hard again stopping me mid laugh.

"You don't have much room to talk. While Sasuke is a genius and talented, you barely pass and have few to none talents. What you are good at and Sasuke isn't, is that you give people hope and bring happiness." Hinata tickled my side and giggled as I squealed.

"You really mean that Hinata?" I asked in a quiet voice. Her face softened and a sincere smile that reached her eyes spread across her face.

"With all my heart Naruto." I smiled and pulled her into a tight embrace. Lifting her up, I spun us around. She squealed and swatted my head and arms.

"Put me down Naruto. Seriously. I have motion sickness." With that I put her down and she fixes her clothes and her hair.

She looks over my shoulder and her eyes widen. "Naruto, look at that." She points behind me and I turn and follow her gaze.

We walked through the thick mass of trees away from the path, that's when I heard a scared whimper. It sounded like an animal.

Following the sounds of the whimper, Hinata trailing behind me, I come to a bush. The bush shook. No the animal in the bush shook. We jump back a bit and the shaking stops. Then a painful wailing starts. I walk slowly to the bush and place my hands against the small branches.

My heart breaks as I push the bush apart. A baby fox was caught in a hunters trap. The kit was red and orange with the bluest eyes I have ever seen. And that's saying something because my eyes are pretty blue too.

I usher Hinata over and she gasps when she sees the kit. "Hinata, I'm going to free the kit, and take it back to the school, and take some bandages from the nurse's office. I want you to tell Iruka and Kakashi that I went back to take a dump. They won't question that, trust me." Hinata blushed lightly and then nodded seriously.

I look back at the scared kit, his eyes were round and big and full of fear and pain. I look at the matted fur underneath his eyes, and I immediately know that it's been crying for a while.

I press the release on the trap and the kit wails again. But it sounded different this time. Probably happy. The kit stumbles and falls. I know it lost a lot of blood I work quickly. I take my

hoodie off and wrap the kit in my arms.

The kit, wrapped like a baby, licked my cheek in gratitude as I picked it up and hugged it to my chest. It rubbed it's head on my chest and yawned. "Oh my gosh, Hinata. It's going to kill me with it's extreme cuteness." I nuzzle my face against its cold body and hold it tighter against my warmth.

If I wasn't distracted at the cute kit, I would have noticed the picture Hinata took of me babying a baby fox.

"Anyways, I have to get its wound clean. Remember to tell Iruka and Kakashi that I went back to take a dump. Okay?" I look up at her, and she nods.

I jogged back carefully to the path and waited for the last person to pass. After Sasuke, Iruka, and Kakashi pass, I jump back onto the worn trail, and run back to the school.

Holding tightly to the kit, I run as fast as I can, jumping over roots and ducking under low hanging branches. The school gate and building came into view. I smiled and panted as the building grew larger the closer I got.

Twisting my body sideways and jumping, I pass the gate without stopping to open it wider. I ran through the ditch that separated the school and the forest. I ran to the building and silently thanked the heavens as a nurse came out of the building, swinging the door wide open.

I sped past her and into the hallway. I ran to the main office and found an empty nurses office.

Setting the kit down on a bed, I rummage through the closets and cabinets. I found hydrogen peroxide, Neosporin, an ace wrap and gauze.

I dumped the contents on the same bed the kit sat on. I carefully unwrapped my hoodie from the kit and set it aside. I reached from the kits injured leg and he snapped his jaws at my hand.

"Hey, hey. I'm here to help. Let me help you baby. It's going to feel better soon, just let me make sure it will heal properly and make sure you don't get an infection." I cooed at the kit.

Surprisingly, he seemed to understand me and laid down, stretching out it's injured hind leg.

I looked at the two holes that were still bleeding. I felt tears spring to my eyes as I took a wet washcloth to the wounds. The once white cloth turned red instantly and wiped away the dried blood along with the new blood. The tears falls unto my hand and disappears in the rag.

Once I cleaned away the dirt and grass from the wound, I rinsed the rag until it was white again. This time I poured the peroxide on the cloth and squeezed it onto the wound. The kit whined

loudly, and I petted it softly.

"Shh, baby. I promise it's going to feel better soon. Just hang in a little bit more." I cooed and scratched him behind his fuzzy ear. He turned his head and licked my hand.

Again, I rinsed off the rag, and dampened it again. Cleaning away the white foam from the peroxide, I throw the rag in the sink instead of getting up.

I grab the Neosporin and slab the cream on the wound. The kit let out a soft mewl and yawned again. "Feels good doesn't it?" I chuckle and pet the fox. I cap the tube and throw it with the bottle of peroxide. I grab the gauze and wrap it carefully around the wounds. Blood bleeds through, but not much as before. I smile softly and then wrap the ace bandage and secure it was a safety pin that I found in a drawer.

The kit brings his leg back to himself and licks at the wrap. I smile and pet the fox again. I still marvel at the incredible blue eyes.

"Hello there, Naruto. Has anyone told you, you could be a great vet?" The nurse that I ran past was leaning against the door to the nurse's office, watching me intently.

"I'm sorry. But when I saw him hurt, out in the forest. I just couldn't leave him there. Look at the kit. He's just so precious." I look at her with pure love for the kit in my eyes.

"I'm not mad, I'm impressed." Now go, the bell is about to ring." She smiled.

"I could kiss you right now, but I won't because I'm gay." I grinned, and looked at the kit. Fast asleep snuggled against my hoodie. My heart swelled at the sight. "I hate to ask, but do you have a box or something I can hide him in?" I asked the nurse.

She was already removing some items in a box to another one and handed the empty box and lid to me. I took a pen and poked a bunch of holes in the lid and gave the pen back to the nurse.

I picked the kit up, who whined, but fell asleep again. "My god, this thing is going to kill me." I whine too and fold my hoodie so it would fit in the box. I picked the kit up again and the nurse helped me place its leg down carefully.

"Thank you so much." I hug her and close the lid. I walk quickly but carefully back to Iruka's class. The bell rang as I opened the door. Everyone gave me a weird look as the looked at me and then the box, but no one asked what was in it.

I held the door for everyone and then walked into the classroom. I froze and was met with four pairs of eyes staring intently at me. The door closing was the only sound for a minute.

Hinata looked at the box and then back at me. She didn't say a word but her eyes spoke for her.

She wanted to know if the kit made it. She a curt nod, she released a relieved sigh.

I said her goodbyes and walked past me to the door. She rested a hand on my shoulder and gave a calming squeeze before leaving for good.

"What's in the box?" Sasuke asked.

I look at the box and then at him. "Something."

"What's in the box Naruto?" Iruka asked curiously.

I shrugged. "It's my hoodie."

"Pray tell, there's a good reason why your hoodie is in a box." Kakashi sighed and rubbed his temple.

I growled and walked past them to my desk. Setting it down nice and easy, I turn my attention back to the three nosy people.

"I was washing my hands in the bathroom when I noticed the facet turned upside down. My hoodie took some serious water damage and I didn't want to put it back on or in my bag with all my work, so I went to the nurse's office. She gave me that beat up box and I put my hoodie in there. The end. Now can we stop with the questions. Sasuke still has to take me to ramen, and I have to go home and change my clothes before I go on that date." I huffed and gathered my bag and shrugged it on. I picked up the box carefully and stare at Iruka and Kakashi and raise an eyebrow.

"Spoken like a true gay man." Kakashi smirked and nodded towards the door. "I guess Sasuke can come with us too if he's taking you out for ramen. Unless you too want to change before going?" Kakashi snickered and Iruka playfully poked him in the forehead.

"Stop being mean to them Kakashi. Let's go before Naruto pops a blood vessel." Iruka giggled and lead the way out of his classroom.

I quickly followed him and then Sasuke and finally Kakashi. Once all out and set, Iruka locked his door and walked us out to the teachers parking lot. Kakashi got in the passenger seat and I opened the back door to set my stuff down slowly.

I looked back at Sasuke, who was slowly rubbing the back of his head.

"What?" I asked him with slanted eyes. A part wants to cancel and reschedule the ramen date to stay with the kit, but I want to go out and be alone with Sasuke too.

He opened his mouth before the sound of a phone going off cut him off. He frowned and wiggled his phone out of his jeans.

"Itachi? What's up?" We all watched Sasuke talk on the phone with his older brother.

His face paled and went serious. "You sure it has to be now? Why don't you have Deidara do it?"

Sasuke listened for a minute, his face lighting up a bit. "I knew that obnoxious blonde freak was useless. And to think I was beginning to call him Deidara nii-san." Sasuke sighed and rubbed his temples with his free hand.

Sasuke listened as Itachi spoke loudly, and a smirk grew on his face, and then turned into a scowl. His eyes briefly locked with mine before turning back to the car. "You did not just say that? They are two totally different peo-"

Sasuke was cut off. He looked at me again and then back at the car. "True, I will give you that. So tell me again why Deidara can't do it. I mean all you need to do is drive your lazy ass to the house and then back home."

Itachi's voice was a bunch of jumbled words, and Sasuke's face softened as he listened to Itachi.

"Yeah, I understand. Yes, I remember. Second floor, old room. Closet. Secret floorboard. I got you. Quick question brother. How the hell did you learn about that? Mum and dad never brought that up."

I giggled as Sasuke called his parents mum and dad. Sasuke smiled too for a second.

"The cats? My god, how drunk are you? You sound fine, so how high are you? Did Deidara do this? I knew his explosive personality would do this to you." Sasuke looked dead serious and both Kakashi and I erupted in laughter.

Sasuke waited for Itachi's reply. His eyes widen and he snickered into the phone.

"Those cats? Alright, I will be there as soon as I can. Tell Deidara I meant no offense as I insulted him." Sasuke nodded his head.

"Yeah, whatever. I want tomatoes for this. Huh?" Sasuke's face turned a deep red color. "I can't believe you. I swear you will be dickless in the morning." And with that he hung up. We al waited for him to explain that last part.

Sasuke looks around sheepishly. "Well that was Itachi. Apparently he left something back at our grandparents house, and I have to go pick it up." I hang my head feeling disappointed but relieved. Sasuke steps closer to me and hooks his forefinger under my chin and lifts my face up.

He looks at me with dark passion in his eyes. Regret was clearly evident in those ebony pools. "We will do this another day all right?" I was speechless, so I nodded. He smirked and backed away.

"If you're wondering about that last part. Remember Deidara? Well that's Itachi partner. And while he was on the phone with me, he was fucking Deidara, reason why he couldn't be the one to do the job." Kakashi smirks and nods his agreement and I just shake my head.

I reach out and tap Sasuke on the nose. He sneezes his adorable soft sneeze and glares at me.

"Bless you, and do you need a ride there?"

"No, I drove to school today. see you tomorrow?" Sasuke began his walk to the student parking lot.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow." I waved and he gave a wave back, never looking back.

I got into the back seat and stared at Kakashi and Iruka through the rear view mirror.

"You saw that right? That wasn't just my imagination right?" I stared dumbly before blinking.

"Oh yeah, that was a whole lot of sexual tension between you guys. I think I just need to lock you two in a room and let nature take its course." Kakashi shrugs and takes out his book. Iruka starts to car and drives out of the front gate. I rested my hand on the box of the sleeping kit and sigh.

{::}

I ate dinner with Iruka and Kakashi, and then Iruka helped me with his homework and Kakashi helped with my math and Physics homework. He explained everything and then some. After dinner and homework, we watched a movie, and then I spent the rest of the night in my room with the kit. I named him Kurama.

Kurama laid curled up on my hoodie and mewled loudly when I walked into my room. I shh-ed him and cut up the chicken that was leftover from dinner. I fed him and poured water from a bottle into a small bowl I snuck in.

Eating and drinking happily, Kurama limped into my lap seeking attention. "Oh my god, you are certainly cuter than Sasuke, I wish I could keep you but I need you to heal so I can bring you back to your mom." Kurama nuzzled closer to me and let out another loud mewl.

"I will tell Iruka tomorrow about you. I won't keep you a secret, because I'm sure it will be too difficult for me." I patted Kurama's head and rubbed his fuzzy ears. He let another delighted mewl.

"But you are making hard to let you go." I picked up the kit and held him to my chest. His paws rested over my heart and he licked my cheek.

"Too damn cute." I flip on my bed and take his leg into my hand. "How is this feeling?" He let out a soft wail. "Hurts huh?"

I unwrap the ace bandage and remove the gauze. I hold up a hand to Kurama. "Stay here. I will be right back." If I sneak out of my room and quietly crawl to the kitchen, Iruka and Kakashi won't be able to see me from the armchair. And they will be too caught up in whatever show they are watching.

Honestly, I'm not worried about Iruka, it's Kakashi that scares me shitless. He's like a fucking ninja, a fucking awesome ninja.

I open my bed to a wide crack and squeeze my skinny body through it without making a sound. Leaving it barely opened to get in the same way, I drop to the floor quietly and crawl slowly to the kitchen. Once there I peak over the sink. Good, they haven't noticed.

Grabbing the first aid basket from under the sink, I slide it under my arm and slowly close the cabinet door. With a small 'thump' I crawl back to my room. I get to the door when a hand grabs my shoulder.

"Jesus fucking Christ. You scared the shit out of me!" I yelled at Kakashi, who grinned slyly down at me.

"Naruto! Language!" Iruka yells from the couch.

"Sorry mom!" I yell back. I get an annoyed huff in reply.

Then I turn back to Kakashi - who is still staring at me suspiciously. Damn ninja.

"Why are you sneaking around?" He asked while raising a silver eyebrow.

"I don't have to tell you anything." I hiss. His visible eye widens and then narrows.

"I will tell Iruka about the fox if you don't start answering questions." I gulped at the stern tone he was using.

In a low voice, "Come on in Kakashi." I push my door wider and crawl in. Standing up, I walk behind Kakashi and shut my door.

I walk to my bed and lay the first aid kit next to Kurama. "Kakashi, meet Kurama, Kurama baby, this is Kakashi, he won't hurt you." I lifted my hoodie to reveal Kurama who was licking his injured leg.

I watch Kakashi's face soften and a nurturing look cross his eye. "You rescued him didn't you? What is wrong with his leg?" Kakashi stuck his hand out to the kit, who in return sniffed it and licked his fingers.

Kakashi sat on my bed, covered his lap with my hoodie, and then gently picked the kit up and placed him on his lap.

"Hinata technically found him, he was trapped by a fox trap, the ones that clamp around the animal's feet. It's a kit Kakashi, I wasn't going to let it bleed to death before getting the chance to live it's life. So I wrapped it in my hoodie and took him to the nurse's office. I cleaned him up and brought him back here. I was honestly going to tell you guys tomorrow but I didn't want to ruin Iruka's mood with it." I explained.

Kakashi patted the furry fox and smiled. "I see, and you did this by yourself? Has anyone told you, you could be a great nurse with your love for animals?"

I smirked and nodded. "The nurse did. And yes, she caught me, but helped me with the box, so that part wasn't a lie." I added quickly.

Kakashi nodded. "Alright, I will help you this time. Let's clean the wound again and wrap it with a fresh bandage." Kakashi held the kit and threw away the old wrappings, while I cleaned and reapplied cream to the wound. It stopped bleeding and is healing now. I secured the bandaged and petted the sleeping kit.

"My gosh Kakashi. He's so precious. Did you know foxes are my favorite animals? Then it's toads and frogs." I grinned a goofy grin and Kakashi ruffled my hair.

"I won't tell Iruka, until tomorrow. But I will vouch for you when the time comes. Also, I will be the one waking you up so Iruka won't see Kurama, okay? So don't freak out." Kakashi set down the sleeping kit and left my room.

I smiled and thanked the heaven's for giving me to two best parents in the world. I hope the make it official soon. I don't think Kakashi knows that I know about it. I snickered and undressed. Going to the bathroom, I brush my teeth and hair and throw my dirty clothes into the basket.

Back in my room, I make a bed for Kurama in the box. I push a small throw pillow into box for softness then I lay my hoodie over it. Kurama seems to have taken a liking to it. Smiling softly, I place the dreaming kit in the makeshift bed and then proceed to crawl into my own.

Sighing happily, I turn the light off and fall into endless dreams about a ninja world where Sasuke and I fuck a lot using ninjutsu and genjutsu.
