Message: Hello everyone!!! I'm bored and got nothing better to do. So I hope that you will like this one. And hopefully your questions would be answered but I am not really planning to write a big event in this chapter. Ok here are special messages for the reviewers:

shadowphoenix143- Thank you for asking that question. But to answer your question, he and kyuubi merged. He haven't switched his personality, he just acted like a cold emotionless person due to kyuubi's advice and plan… He agreed with it to lessen the pain from Sasuke's rejection.

delusions dreamer- I totally agree with you!!! He is such an idiot. (LOL, It might seem that I am bashing him but I am not. This would eventually become a SasuNaru with lots of lemon and mpreg.)

Ok, on with the story.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Sasuke walked slowly as his mind continued to figure out what's wrong with Naruto.

What would make the dobe act this way? Normally, he would just be happy, loud and annoying. But this day, he was….weird. Was he under a genjutsu? Was he inside the world of tsukiyomi? No, that cant be for he hadn't met Itachi. So, is this a different person under a genjutsu or henge? No, Kakashi-sensei could have detected it, and he couldn't have beaten him in an instant. So, what? Why the change? What is wrong with you dobe?

And Sasuke hadn't realized it but he was worried about the dobe. And the fact that he was thinking about Naruto and only him.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Naruto sat on his bed. Staring at his figure in the mirror. I thought that Sasuke loved me. Well, I could accept that he wouldn't love me. But why had he said all those words?

'Kit, what's done is done. There's nothing you can do about it. And in time, you will learn to move on and forget about him. Just continue to act like what you did today. You'll soon get used to it.'

'But kyu-kaasan, I cant just forget about him. I cant, and never will'

'What? Give up already? Surely you wont. Just keep it up and if I think that the time has come, we would proceed to plan C. Got it?'

'Yes, Kaasan.'

'Good. Now get up and show the world the new Naruto.'

And Before Naruto know it, he was now outside of his apartment walking towards Ichiraku's ramen.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"Why, if it isn't my best costumer, Naruto, sit down. What flavor do you want today?"

"Pork"

"Sure. Right away." Weird he isn't acting normal today. The old man thought wondering where the cheery and hyperactive Naruto had gone and definitely missing being called 'old man'

Soon, Naruto was eating his 8th bowl of ramen enjoying the peaceful silence of the place. Stupid Sasuke, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be wasting my money on ramen. It wasn't even dinner time yet. sigh But only ramen can help me feel better and rid me of my depression. I guess its worth it.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Sasuke saw Naruto sitting and now on his 15th bowl. Wow, this was luck. Now he would have a man-to-man talk with Naruto and figure out what's wrong.

"Err… Naruto…"

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Naruto was about to pick up his 16th bowl when a familiar figure sat next to him. "Err Naruto."

Naruto glanced at him and simply replied, "What do you want Uchiha?"

"Listen dobe, I don't know what's wrong with you but we got to talk. And I don't give a shit whether you are interested or not but we will talk and I expect to get some answers."

"Answers? Talk? There's nothing to be talked about. In fact, I can find no necessary topics worthy of attention that needs to be discussed."

"What is wrong with you Naruto?! You have been acting weird all day! What? Have the sake overloaded your brain that you cant think straight? Or did the real Naruto finally emerges which happened to be dumber and more stupid than the fake one I saw everyday?"

"Now I just had enough of this Uchiha Sasuke!!! I had enough of you treating me this way. There's nothing to be discussed and we don't have anything to talk about. This discussion is over." Naruto stood up and attempted to leave but Sasuke caught his wrist and gripped it tightly.

"Listen dobe, if you would just tell me what's going on, then maybe I can help you with your problem. Tell me, why are you acting like this?"

"Oh, so the great Uchiha-genius cant figure out what's wrong? Listen Uchiha, I don't know how smart you are but you sure are forgetful. As I said, I am no longer interested in this discussion."

"Forgetful? What do you mean by that? Seriously dobe, I am not amused with this joke. If you think this is funny, then I suggest you drop it and answer me!"

Naruto had enough. "You think this is a fucking Joke? You are not so smart as I heard Uchiha. Now leave me alone." Before I cant take it anymore. Before I loose control and cry in front of you. He added mentally.

"Why would I just leave you Naruto? I wont stop until I have some answers."

"You already have it Uchiha. Your answers lies directly inside that thick skull of yours!!! See you tomorrow Mr. Perfect." And with a 'poof' Naruto's figure vanish.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

A golden-haired boy lied on his bed crying. It had only been one day since I decided to execute the plan. I was supposed to feel happy about it. I was supposed to be relieved. But why? Why would not the pain go away? Oh Sasuke, I just wished that I didn't attended that stupid party. Then none of this had happened.

'Well, the fact is you attended it and you cant change it just by crying on a corner. Now pull yourself together. We had only executed at least 10 of the plan.'

'What? You mean there is more?'

'Of course! I wasn't called the great demon lord for nothing. I am master at planning and strategies. And I had already foreseen everything of this. Well at least the things that would happened after the birthday party. Well the next thing we, erm, you got to do is…

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

A raven-haired lied down on a huge bed thinking about the past events that just unfold before his very eyes.

Flashback.

"You already have it Uchiha. Your answers lies directly inside that thick skull of yours!!! See you tomorrow Mr. Perfect."

End of Flashback

What did he mean by that? Surely I couldn't be the cause of that strange actions. But what? What are his reasons? This is so confusing…

After finally allowing sleep and darkness to surround him, the raven boy finally managed to find peace and silence with a great maze and puzzle that awaits him in the morning.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Author's Notes.

1. Yeah I know that this chapter doesn't go well. But I promise that the next one would be better than this. And I already said that this one would be short… I might rewrite it if you got problems with this one…

2. Feel free to offer suggestions for the next chapter.

3. Nothing much happened, I know. But at least Sasuke got something to think about.

4. When do you think Sasuke would finally discover that it was his words that lead Naruto to act like this?

5. I wanted to know something, Do you want Naruto to tell Sasuke or do you want Sasuke to figure it on his own? It would help me a lot. The voting will end till the 5 or above chapters…

6. Even this chapter is not as good as the others I hope you enjoyed this one.
