Chapter two

The silver rays of the moon fell upon Uchiha, Sasuke, as his leg dropped in a quick downward motion, barely missing it's target by a mere inch. The dark-haired boy let out a short sigh of frustration before turning back to his opponent, arms raised and ready.

The silver-haired man before him stood silently, staring blankly at the Uchiha with his one eye, for the other was hidden behind a headband of a pure, deep blue. His expression was doubly masked behind a wrap of dark cloth, always kept firmly in place.

So, Sasuke had exaggerated slightly when explaining that he was the strongest man alive. In all truth, he was far from it. Nevertheless, he was on the way to becoming one of the greats.

One such master was the silver-haired man he was currently attempting to lay a hit on. Hatake, Kakashi stared at him with bored features.

"Can you do no better than this?" He asked in a voice void of any emotion, which was rare for the fighter. "You seem distracted."

Way to point out the obvious.

Yes, Sasuke was, indeed, distracted. How could one not be, when one has discovered something great? All he could do was think about his discovery. His treasure. His golden beam of sun. Naruto was his only escape from the dull, ever-the-same days he was so previously trapped in. Being able to see the youth every night gave him a will to continue his training, and to one day leave the land that was of the moon.

While Sasuke's mind lingered over his plans for the future, Kakashi made a swift motion with his leg and swiped the Uchiha's feet from under him. The dark-haired boy fell as expected, completely caught unawares by the sudden attack.

The boy voiced his anger as he threw himself back to his feet. Before he could drop back into a fighting position, he noticed Kakashi's back slowly shrinking.

"Where the hell are you going?!" Sasuke fumed.

The man didn't even turn to face his student. "There is no point in attempting to teach you anything this night. Tomorrow, try to be more attentive."

The Uchiha huffed, lowering himself back to the ground with his legs crossing.

However, his mood was instantly softened as soon as he lifted his hand to brush his cheek. A new smirk played wildly upon his features. Over the many weeks the two of them had known each other, Sasuke had always been the one to advance upon the blond. Tonight had been different, though...

((((((((((((((

Naruto froze, catching his breath as the slow, yet steady sun made it's way lower and lower above the horizon. It was normal for him, to lose his breath so easily upon spotting the dark-haired Uchiha. It was as if the boy had cast a spell on the blond. A magic that caught his mind and eyes and held them for all eternity. Or however long the Uchiha stayed in his line of vision, in any case.

And there he was, staring at Naruto with his ever-so-slight grin set upon his ivory face. And Naruto was going to wipe it clear off. See, he had a plan. An ingenious plan that had taken him nights upon nights to come up with and complete.

"I'll get you this time, Sasuke-teme." He mumbled to himself as he made his way over to the child of the 'moon'.

See, Sasuke had a weakness. Believe it or not. And Naruto had, surprisingly, found it.

As soon as the Uchiha was within hearing distance, the blond shouted, "Oi, teme! Stop sitting around like a pussy and fight me!"

This, of course, caught Sasuke's attention right away. The Uchiha stood, bringing his hands together and cracking his knuckles in a dramatic fashion. "You got a death wish, dobe?"

"Bring it." Naruto taunted.

Taking more time than actually needed, the blond stripped himself of his shirt, leaving him half nude from the waist up. And soon after, the boy began his stretches.

Sasuke the Clueless simply stared at the youth as he continued with his needless antics. The Uchiha knew full well that Naruto had stretched only moments before appearing before him, so why repeat himself?

Though...

Sasuke turned his head to the left as Naruto bent ridiculously far off the the side, his tan arms reaching out and pulling his abdomen tight. The dark-haired boy couldn't say he wasn't enjoying himself.

Once Naruto was fully finished, he turned towards his opponent. The boy lowered himself into a crouch, arms up and ready. Sasuke followed suit, mimicking the second youth.

Naruto grinned. "Prepare to lose, teme."

Sasuke lowered his stance. "Let's go, dobe."

The next few moments were a blur to Sasuke. One moment, Naruto was charging at him head-on, the next... well...

Again, Sasuke couldn't say he didn't enjoy what the blond had done. It was a surprise, yet not an unwelcome one.

Naruto had jumped onto the dark-haired Uchiha, wrapping his arms tightly around Sasuke's still form. And in that moment, Sasuke had received his first kiss.

The dark-haired boy was so shocked at the blond's boldness, that he completely forgot about the fight. Naruto's lips formed a large grin as they continued to press against Sasuke.

And that was how Uzumaki Naruto had won his first match against the Uchiha. Sasuke was so preoccupied with the shirtless youth attached to him, that he was utterly defenseless when Naruto had decided to strike.

As Naruto left, mirth spread obtusely across his features, he called out to his rival/friend/perhaps something more significant.

"Try to pay more attention next time, Sasuke-pervert."
