In a sense, I guess this could be, 'What you've all been waiting for.' Let's leave it at that. :D


A few days and missions passed and we didn't speak to each other. At least, he never spoke to me, so I never tried. A few days became an entire week.

As for the violence at night, I heard mostly screaming and cussing, but nothing physical had happened. It was almost SAD that was the LAST thing on my mind.

Sakura never asked, but she saw how quiet we always were. We never argued, even. We made as little contact as possible with each other. Only when necessary to a mission, or when Kakashi told us to.

Kakashi noticed to. He stayed behind a lot to talk to Sasuke about who knows what. I wish I knew.

(Lol, what do you guys think he was talking about?)

I hated it.

I wanted to talk to him, at least, to be civil with him. Be his friend, and not have to pretend like he wasn't there.

I wanted to tell him I loved him more then anyone in the world. But I wanted more for him to not hate me.

Or laugh at me.

But I wasn't willing to live my whole life with him practically, no he is, ignoring me.

Tonight when I got home, I decided to chat with Kyubbi.

The Uchiha boy hasn't spoken to you in awhile.

Do you think I don't realize that?

Humans aren't as slow as I thought. Mind you, whatever you do, we share a body. I have to go through everything you do.

Why? What do you think I'll do?

I wish you would do nothing.

What are you going to do about it?

If you do something I don't like, I'll make sure you throw up anything you eat for the following days after you do.

What do you not like? Nothing I would do effects you.

No sex.

I screamed in the real world, then focused back to our conversation.

I'll have YOU know, animals and humans are way different when it comes to sex! THANK YOU! We do not have sex at 2 or 3 years of age like you would!

Maybe they should. I would. You expect me to know these things?

YES! I DO! Besides, when HUMANS are in love with each other, they don't just have sex, they grow in a relationship first.

Well I just-

And anyway, Sasuke and I would never be together! He'd never love me like I love him!

Shut-up, kit!

I stopped and was quiet.

How do you know that?

I just do. He wouldn't.

What about last week?

Being Nice.

Whatever.

But we both knew that wasn't the truth.

Why did he do it?

It wasn't possible. Period.

But that's what I said about not loving him, too.

Now Shut-up and let me sleep.

Fine, stupid fox.

I rolled over on my bed and turned out my light. I should probably sleep too, but I wanted to concoct a way to talk to Sasuke, maybe I could even ask him…

No, I'll start with just getting him to speak to me again.

How could that bastard do something totally awkward, then not speak to me?


I woke up with my alarm that morning, growling. I didn't want to get up. At least not to another day of Sasuke not speaking to me. I thought of no special plan, but I would get him to speak to me.

"'Morning Naruto!" Sakura called as usual.

"Morning." I muttered, casting a glance at Sasuke. He said nothing and kept his head turned.

Sakura was used to the absence of interaction by now. She just shrugged.

Then the hour wait for Kakashi began. We got bored to the point where Sakura and I were playing tic-tac-toe in the dirt with sticks. Sasuke watched with little interest.

"Good morning!" Sakura and I were quick to act when we heard his voice.

"You're LATE!" We accused loudly.

"Well, I just-" Kakashi started, smiling. More like smirking, but you never knew. It was because we couldn't do anything about it.

"Just get on with the mission." Sasuke hissed. His excuses were still crap.

"We don't have one. I'm going to each Sakura some chakra focusing skills, and you two are going to spar. We clear?" He asked.

We both nodded.

Sakura an I got up from sitting by our makeshift game board. "What do I have to do?" She asked.

"We'll leave the boys alone. I'll teach you the technique somewhere else." Kakashi answered.

"Oh…Okay." She sounded disappointed. She probably wanted to watch Sasuke, as usual.

Kakashi shot Sasuke a glance I couldn't understand, and Sasuke, to my amazement, didn't glare. He just nodded. He looked paler then usual.

"Have fun!" Sakura called, as she and Kakashi walked away. I watched them until they disappeared. That was obviously a mistake.

Suddenly a hand was grabbing for my throat, and I only took a split-second to react.

I grabbed Sasuke's wrist and twisted myself around. With that we began hand-to-hand combat.

He never once looked me in the face, just kept his head down, concentrating on blocking my feet and finding openings through my own evading hands.

He probably wasn't just being a show-off in doing so, either. He was just doing it to remain without contact.

"Sasuke?" I asked, hands still moving. As are combat was still going on without I break, I tried speaking to him.

He looked up slightly, aiming to punch me in the ribs but being blocked by my hand. I kicked at his shin but missed as well. His hair shadowed his eyes. "Hn?"

Oh. My. God. A response. Our fighting did not cease ever as we spoke. "Why aren't you speaking to me?"

It was harder then I thought to concentrate, think about the problem, and talk. He altered his tactics, and grabbed at my blocking hand. I tried to twist free, but his grip was unbreakable. Much stronger then before.

He grabbed my other arm, and twisted them in an x-fashion across my chest. Not hard enough to hurt, but to keep me there. I didn't bother kicking at him. I wanted to know.

"It bothers you?"

I realized how much I missed his deep, clear, brooding voice. It was like he was speaking thought. It was versatile. It could be loud, quiet, filled with rage and hate, or comfort and love.

"I miss talking to you." I said my thoughts aloud. "Why are you?" I said, a more loud, demanding tone.

He stared at me hard for a moment, then freed my arms. "Because I did to much."

I blinked. "What?"

"Nothing." He turned. "If you wanted me to talk to you, you could have asked."

He made ME sound stupid in this situation. "Okay, I want to talk to you. Now."

Sasuke turned around, and looked at me expectantly.

"Because you did to much when?" I let out the breath I didn't know I had been holding.

His eyes flashed. "Do I have to tell you?"

"Yeah, tell me." I ground out, thinking I knew the answer.

"I just did too much. I let on too much, and now I'm fixing my mistake." He answered, speaking in confusing terms.

And yet, I knew exactly what he meant, but I somehow didn't. I was torn between what it actually was and if I actually believed it.

"I've seen you make no mistakes." I muttered. "And…Let on to what?" I knew if he answered that, my thoughts would be clarified.

"Absolutely nothing."

I didn't want to believe it. I knew it was a lie, first of all, and I realized it was very hard to get an Uchiha to crack. I felt like I already knew the truth, but would not have another break-down until I knew for sure.

"Bull crap, Sasuke. Tell me." I said, but I surprised myself when my voice was still soft.

"No. It doesn't matter anyway."

"But it's something!" I answered. I felt like an idiot, we were having the dumbest yet most meaningful conversation ever.

"Yeah." He replied.

"Please?"

He put one hand on my shoulder and I tried not to jump. He touched my forehead with his other hand. "When I kissed you. I did too much."

I swallowed hard. I knew the answer, but I had to get him to say it. "Too much of what?" I swallowed my choke.

He shifted his arms and locked them around my neck, pulling my head into his chest.

"Letting you to close to knowing that I'm in love with you." His voice broke.


Another, dun dun DUN! Moment XD Well, considering I have the coolest story subscribers/reviewers EVER, I decided to go much longer then I ever thought with this story.
