O.O OMG you guys don't know how happy I became when I opened my email account to see that I got so many reviews. They made me SO happy!
Tho it did come to my attention that I messed up with the Italics in the last chapter... My Bad!!! idk how I didn't notice that, or how my BETA didn't either... (T/N: Sorry guys! I'll pay more attention this time...)
Sigh, This chapter is still pretty difficult to take in, even though it's only chapter 12. This is kinda important to read. If you don't, you'll be lost in the story for a few more chapters lol.
I hope no one gets confused... ONWARD!
Disclaimer: I can't even remember to turn off the Italics when writing, does it really look like I can handle only a big industry that Naruto has made itself?
Warning: Yaoi. Cursing. Later lemons. Drama. You've been Warned.
And he wanted to do all he could for the angel, but didn't know how. Where was this coming from?
The home was warm and cozy. Candles were lit to light the dark night. The scent of flowers filled the air.
Sasuke stepped through the door, not bothering to close it. Slowly, he walked to the kitchen area. His eyes followed the trail of sakura leaves on the wooden floor. They came upon a tan pair of hairless legs. The raven looked at who those legs belonged to.
Naruto stood before the cot. A white silky sheet wrapped over his body, a tan hand holding it closed. He softly, bit his bottom lip, his eyes innocently looking back at Sasuke.
Sasuke swallowed thickly. He was pleading inwardly for the kitsune to remove the cloth. Unconsciously, he walked foward to the other.
They stood only inches apart for a minute, before Sasuke brought a hand up to caress the blonde's cheek.
Naruto blushed. "S-sasuke," he cutely stuttered. The raven wrapped his free arm around the kitsune's waist, pulling him closer. The blonde's hands unclenched the sheet, letting the cloth fall.
Sasuke could feel his insides stir with passion. He pressed his lips on Naruto's.
The kitsune let out a gasp. Naruto grabbed the other's hands and led them over his toned body. The hands came upon Naruto's hips. Sasuke looked down, his eyes wide.
Suddenly a sharp pain struck his side.
"KIBA! Don't kick him, baka!!" Naruto yelled. He was frantically waving his arms around, watching his doggy friend kick a sleeping a sleeping Sasuke in the bruised rib.
"It's 2 in the afternoon and he has guests, he shouldn't be sleeping!" Kiba barked.
Shikamaru sat himself at the kitchen table, resting his head against his elbow. "So troublesome. What a bore."
Naruto gave him a look before going to pull Kiba away from the raven. Shino resorted to helping him. "Kami, does he always sleep like a hibernating bear?!" Kiba yelled.
"He's really not a morning person, dattebyo. What can I say?" Naruto shrugged. "Just make yourself at home while I wake Sasuke up." He let go of the other man and walked back to the occupied cot.
Behind him, Kiba let out a sigh and sat down across from Shikamaru, who was now asleep. Neji leaned against the wall and Lee gave the blonde a cheer. Shino rolled his eyes behind his sunglasses. Off to the side, Chouji stuffed his face with chips.
Naruto knelt to one knee before the cot. He pinched Sasuke's nose. Within seconds the raven's sharingan eyes popped open. "Good morning, sunshine," Naruto grinned. Sasuke half heartedly growled.
The blonde stood and walked back over to the others, as Sasuke sat up, rubbing the sleep from his now back to onyx eyes. Kiba exploded, "How the fuck?! How does he sleep through me kicking him, but wakes up with simply stopping his breathing?!"
"That was you?" Sasuke asked. He stood, walking to the kitchen sink. He splashed water at his face and scowled at the cold. "Because of you, I died in my dream."
Naruto snickered. He and Sasuke sat at the table opposite each other. Kiba looked at Shino and spoke. "So why'd I come again?" The other man just shrugged.
Naruto grinned. "Because you love me, believe it!" he said loudly. He looked at the drowsy raven. "So, what are we doing today?"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "You ask that everyday, dobe. It's always the same options; sit here and do nothing or go to sleep."
"So you brought us here for nothing?" Kiba asked.
"You came on your own, Kiba," Neji sighed. He turned to Naruto. "Can't we spar?"
Sasuke stood with a sigh and walked to the door. "Fine."
"So how are we going to do this?" Shikamaru asked while giving a yawn.
"I say we spar in teams," Kiba gave his idea.
Naruto laced his fingers behind his head. "Sounds good to me. Two teams of four. I take Lee, Kiba, and Chouji! Dattebyo!"
Sasuke smirked. "Dobe."
The first three matches went quickly. Each finished in exhaustion. Now it was Naruto and Sasuke's turn. They had to beat this tied game.
"Ready, dobe?" Sasuke smirked.
"Bring it on, Teme!" Naruto growled. They stood maybe three yards apart on the open field. They started running at each other, combat commencing, just like the night before. It was an ongoing battle. Neither got a hit in. Time flew by, as always.
"Ugh, it's been an hour!" Kiba barked. He and the others sat on the porch watching the other two spar. "Don't they ever get tired?"
"You must remember that Sasuke and Naruto have so much fighting chemistry," Neji said. "We are just lucky they aren't mortal enemies, only just competion of betters. It was destiny that brought them to the same team and destiny that gave them such understanding of each other."
Shino nodded. "They seem to get more agressive as the time goes-" Chouji chewed his food and swallowed. "On."
"They are so youthful!" Lee beamed. He pumped a fist in the air.
"You're really quiet, Shika, you okay?" Kiba asked the chunnin beside him.
Shikamaru never looked up. "Neji, can you check Naruto's chakra levels?"
The Hyuuga gave him a look before nodding in understanding. "Byakugan."
Naruto was getting frustrated. No matter what he did, he got blocked. He performed a few hand signs. "Kage bushin jutsu!"
Suddenly, seven more Naruto's appeared. In turn, each tried to hit the UChiha, but failed. The real Naruto ducked as a fist came for him.
The Uchiha was in the same impatience. Naruto had gotten so strong that nothing worked. Even his sharingan did close to nothing against the sage mode.
Both boys jumped back before going at one another again.
"It won't end well if he uses more," Neji finally said. He averted his eyes to Sasuke. "Uchiha is almost gone completely."
Shikarmaru stayed quiet, still watching the two fighting.
Suddenly, Naruto had been pushed to the ground. The blonde grabbed the closest thing to him to balance himself, which was Sasuke. Both crashed to the ground. The raven was on top of the kitsune.
The six boys ha wide eyes at the view before them. Naruto and Sasuke stared into each other's eyes. Onyx eyes bore into him like fire. They gave the blonde chills. Sasuke was such a cold person, but so warm at the same time.
Sasuke looked at Naruto below him and that night's dream flashed in memeory. The sudden urge to clasp their lips together dangered in the back of the raven's mind. But, the Uchiha gained all control he could muster and got off the blonde. Naruto quietly whimpered at the loss of warmth.
"Teme-" naruto tried to say, but instead he let out a pain filled scream. He wrapped his arms around his waist, turning to the fetal position. "Ah!"
Sasuke face faltered. "Naruto, what's wrong?"
"Fuck!" Shikamaru swore. He hopped off the porch and ran for Naruto. Behind him the other's followed. Upon getting there, the Nara boy got to his knees and took the blonde's hand. "Breathe Naruto, breathe. He turned to the others. "Someone go get the girls!"
Lee turned and ran off. Sasuke watched it all happen, confused. Shikamaru took his blunt fist and knocked the kitsune in the back of the head. Naruto shut his eyes and he stopped screaming.
"What the fuck?" Kiba asked.
"It's so he can calm down and not feel the pain," Shika explained.
Neji crouched down and lifted the feather light blonde bridal style. "I'll take him inside," the silver-eyed man said passively. It was like he'd done this before.
Kiba, Chouji, and Shino followed Neji inside. Shikamaru let out the breath he didn't know he was holding. He lifted himself from his knees.
"Nara..." Sasuke called. He still sat on the ground in small shock.
The brunette turned away from the raven, crossing his arms over his chest. "It started happening after he and his squad met you at Orochimaru's hide out."
Sasuke listened intently, standing also. He had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. He wanted to make sure Naruto was okay, hold the blonde close so nothing could hurt him again. But, wasn't it he who was the cause of the other's pain?
"Naruto started pushing himself too far. Using jutsus -he had created- way to powerful to handle, at the time and it made him sick." Shikamaru continued, rembering when it began. "The Kyuubi, inside him, gave Naruto to much strength. So when he refused to use the Kyuubi to help with his jutsus, it drained him."
The raven's eyebrows furrowed. Why? he questioned himself.
"His chakra is weak without the Kyuubi, since it became so used to it. And now the demon refuses to heal Naruto, like before," Shikamaru said. "Naruto is so stubborn that he won't even ask for help when he's hurt. He just let's himself suffer. ... It's so troublesome."
The brunette started to walk inside when Sasuke spoke. "What can I do to help?"
The question shocked Shikamaru. Was the ice prince of Konoha melting under the sun bright blonde? "I think, it's good enough if you stay this time." Nara continued inside.
Sasuke was left outside. A gust of warm wind blew open his navy robe. No, he wouldn't leave again. Unless, they threw him out for what he would one day soon do.
"Dobe..."
Ino, Hinata and Sakura held their hands over the unconscious blonde kitsune. Simultaneously, they brought their hands to make a sign.
Sakura let go first. She looked uncertain in a way. "He has a chakra back up somewhere." The pink-haired medical nin looked at Hinata beside her. "Hinata-chan, can you tell where?"
The raven girl nodded. "I-it's all around the Kyuubi seal, b-but I c-can't oinpoint it."
"This is worse than the other times," Sakura shook her head. "We have to bring him to Tsunade-sama."
Kiba gave her a look. "Are you nuts?! Naruto would kill us if we did that!"
Sakura snapped her head in anger to the scruffy shinobi. "I'd rather him be mad at us than see him die!" she yelled. Hinata stood and pushed Kiba away, lightly, from the fuming green eyed girl.
"Then let's go," Shikamaru sighed. Kiba lifted the blonde to ride on his back. Lee took Sakura's hand and helped her up.
The whole group started to leave. Neji was last. He turned to look at Sasuke, who sat against the wall, staring at the floor. "We'll tell you what happens, okay Uchiha?"
The brunette left with no answer.
Lol I bet some of you read the first part and were like "WOOO! Sex! Lemon!" If you did you suck at mysteries and reading clues lol.
As for the whole Naruto thing, I know it's a bit confusing *sigh* sorry.
Itachi: Naruto denied the Kyuubi chakra... Is he that mentally challenged? I mean, why would people want the powerful demon if not for the power? What, does he think they want the Kyuubi for a cuddly pet?
Tourniquet: I would take it for a pet!!
Natsuki: Itachi... Are you ranting? *Itachi glares at her* Oh never mind I know what's wrong... Poor TaTa-chan, you want to make fun of your brother but you can't, because you love him so much. That's why you demanded he stay alive when you had to kill you fam- *ducks a Kunai*
Itachi: That's strike two today...
Natsuki: When was strike one!?
Itachi: That last statement counted as two.
Natsuki: *shakes head* Whatever Itachi-chan. So anyways, next chapter next week... I hope. If I have time. No question this week. Next chapter promise! Please review, com muito amor!
Love Natsuki Lee
