They left a note for Sasuke about getting their money for the mirror back and left for the Leaf Village. They had been fairly close already and it took a very short time to reach their destination. They were rewarded almost immediately as they walked into the village and spotted a young blonde.
"Excuse me!" Suigetsu called, "Sir, we are travelling merchants and would like to ask a few questions!"
The young man lifted his head from a small fountain and stared, confused, at them for a moment. When he turned, the small group froze, dazzled. Here was the man they had seen in Sasuke's heart, his most treasured person. He was more dazzling than they had initially thought, his hair flat and soaked in droplets of glistening water.
"Huh?" the teen looked at them, "What kind of questions?"
Suigestu blinked a few times before he realized who the question was directed at, "Ah! Some normal, personal questions! Like, to start with, your name?"
"Naruto Uzumaki, yours?" he answered, hair still dripping wet.
"Su….Sukihara… These are my companions Carol and Jun," Suigetsu glanced at Karin, whose eyes had turned into big, red hearts, "A-also, your age…"
"Fifteen, you?"
"Please don't ask me questions back… Any close friends?" Suigetsu sighed.
Naruto's face twisted in confusion before he started listing off names, taking forever, "… Oh, there's Gaara too! I can't believe I forgot him."
"You mean the Kazekage?" Suigetsu gawked as Naruto nodded, his hair dry now, but still flat.
"There's also…" Naruto's voice faded as his face turned grim. He quickly replaced it with a smile and said, "Any more questions?"
Suigetsu nodded, "Any girlfriends?" he had finally reached the ultimate question.
"Not really… but there is this one girl I really like, and her name's Sa…" Naruto turned his head towards a loud noise, "KU-RA!"
A fist slammed into his face and sent him flying into a wall. Karin immediately rushed to pick him up as a girl with pink hair yelled, "You're being slower than Kakashi!"
Naruto bolted up, "It's not my fault! I'm having a conversation!"
Suigetsu watched the exchange of banter as he thought, 'This kid likes a girl like this? Impossible.'
"Oi," Suigetsu called, "Miss pink-hair?"
Sakura turned to him, "What do you want?" she saw him and corrected her manners, "Oh, sorry, what is it?"
"Can you take a look at this mirror?" Suigetsu held it out for her.
"Oh, sure, I guess I could…" Sakura held it up, but her face turned grave immediately. Suigetsu glanced over her shoulder, expecting to see soft, blonde hair and big, blue eyes. Instead he sees Sasuke, "Is this a joke?" Sakura twitched, "What kind of sick jerk are you?" she punched Suigetsu in the stomach and ran.
"What's with that mirror? Did it erase her make up?" Naruto smirked jokingly.
"No, it showed her, her most treasured person, a man with raven colored hair," Suigetsu picked the mirror up, "Want to try it?"
Naruto laughed, "But I already know mine."
"You may be surprised…" he handed the mirror over. What he hasn't told anyone was that if there is a match, like if two people saw each other, the mirror would trap the second user until the first user touches the mirror. Suigetsu grimaced, 'This might have all been for nothing.'
Naruto's face twisted in surprise as the mirror let out a blinding light and he disappeared. Suigetsu looked on in disbelief, "Did that really just work?"
Karin tapped him on the shoulder, "What just happened?"
"The mirror is playing cupid. Now all we have to do is get Sasuke to touch it."
