I felt a hard knock on my head. I opened my eyes and was met with an angry Naruko. I assessed the situation. Naruko was in my bed pressed against me with my arms wrapped tightly around her waist. I let go and turned away so she wouldn't see me blushing. She said something about food and ran off downstairs. I could tell my face was redder than a tomato because Kakashi was laughing. I glared at him.

"Why was she there!?" I growled angrily.

"Poor Naru-chan had a bad dream!" He said dramatically. "I let her sleep over there with you. You did the rest on your own." he grinned. I blushed even harder.

"Why didn't you wake me up?!" I yelled again.

"You looked so comfortable." he said evilly.

"Fuck you." I glared.

"You mean fuck her." Kakashi said gesturing in the direction Naruko went. I faltered, then glared again before storming out of the room with my face a bright red. I stopped at the stairs to calm down. After I was sure my face was normal colored I walked down the stairs.

Naruko was sitting at the table stuffing her face. Sakura was finishing up her first plate of food. I sat down were my food was placed. Apparently Kakashi had eaten before we woke up, he never eats in front of us. Naruko nodded in acknowledgment when I began to eat. I wondered if she was still mad, though Naruko wasn't one to hold a grudge. We grabbed our bags after we ate. For the second time we were escorted to the gate.

After we said our goodbye's We set off for home. Naruko skipped along as Kakashi explained it would take us all day and night to reach Konoha and if we stopped tonight we'd be back by tomorrow afternoon

"I wanna get home as soon as possible! Let's walk through the night!" Naruko grinned Sakura scoffed.

"Not all of us are monster's like you Naruko. We need rest! Right Sasuke-kun?" Sakura said. I glared at her, Naruko's smiled lessened after being called a monster. I knew she hated being called that. Sakura seemed to realize her mistake and quickly apologized. Sakura's way of acting towards me and Naruko would never change. She said she would help me with Naruko, did that mean she could continue acting all girly towards me? That's another reason I liked Naruko. She never made a big deal about me, she saw me just as she saw everyone else. I was never a idol to her like I was the other girls.

Naruko glanced back at me.

"Hurry up!" she yelled back to me. I sped up and walked next to her. Sakura had gone up to walk ask Kakashi about resting. Naruko glanced at me with a confused look on her face.

"What?" I asked.

"You know, your a lot stronger in your sleep." She joked. "You nearly crushed me this morning." She laughed. I lightly blushed.

"You move around to much, I was trying to keep you still." I glared. "Why were you in my bed anyhow?" I questioned.

"I had a nightmare. I couldn't get back to sleep so Kakashi told me to sleep in your bed." She shrugged.

"And you were okay with that?" I asked.

"Why wouldn't I be? We've been friends for a long time. It was bound to happen eventually." she said.

"Why? Did it bother you?" She asked grinning. "and plus. You were the one clinging to me for dear life." she laughed. I fought down a blush.

"No, it was just strange to see you in my face." I shot.

"Well it was strange to see you chest in mine. So I guess were even." she shot back. I grinned slightly. And she smiled. "Well not quite even."

I stared at Naruko confused.

"What else happened?" I asked. "Its it when you punched me earlier?"

"No, you punched me back." she grinned.

"It was when you dropped me in the kitchen!" she shouted pointing an accusing finger at me.

"When did that happen?" I said pushing her hand away from my face.

"Don't you remember?" she said poking my head. I glared at her and thought.Then a not-so-foreign weight landed on my back.

"So you owe me a back ride" she said poking her head over my shoulder. I adjusted her so I could balance.

"Why now?" I asked. Not complaining, just asking. She yawned and leaned her head against mine.

"I didn't get much sleep last night." she said before light snoring emitted from behind me. I sighed and regained my walking pace. Naruko's arms fell loosely around my neck, hitting my chest repeatedly.

"You never let me ride on your back Sasuke-kun!" Sakura's voice sounded. I looked over to see Sakura on the side of me, pouting.

"So?" I said expressionlessly.

"What's so special about Naruko anyway?" She asked. "Any particular reason you like her?" she pushed. I glared at her. The thought.

"She's just... Naruko." I said walking faster. Naruko groaned.

"Slow down Teme." she said pounding my chest weakly. I walked a bit slower and she fell asleep again.

Naruko had been sleeping for a while. It was dark out.

"Let's rest here." Kakashi said. Me and Sakura nodded. After we laid out the sleeping mats I set Naruko down on hers, which was next to mine. Sakura set her's down on the other side of mine. Kakashi sat look out. Naruko grabbed for covers and pulled them up to her neck before turning and settling down. Naruko started writhing around and looked scared and uncomfortable. Was it her nightmare again? I activated my sharingan, concentrating on Naruko, I fell asleep, as hoped for, I entered Naruko's nightmare.

I was in a white setting, there was nothing around.

"Sasuke!" I turned around and saw a frantic Naruko running towards me.

"Oh. Hey. What's wrong?" I asked. She ran up and clung to me.

"I'm scared." she muttered. I looked down and brought a hand up to rub her head.

"Why?" I said. This wasn't like Naruko. To be scared. Naruko shook her head and gripped my shirt. Suddenly we were in a dark corridor.

"It's this place." she stuttered. "He might come again." she pulled away, a look of panic in her eyes.

"Who?" I pushed. She suddenly looked up and around.

"Hey, You hear that Sasuke?" she asked.

"Hear what?" I said, it was silent.

"Come on! This way!" she yelled taking off down the corridor. I followed. We came into a big opening.

"Who's this?" a scratchy voice coughed.

"Oh, Kyuu-kun, This is Sasuke." she said motioning to me, then she turned to me. "Sasuke, this is Kyuu-kun." she said pointing inside a large cage. She was floating above the water on a could of Chakra. But in the cage in front of her there was a large nine tailed fox glaring at me.

"Uchiha's are not welcome here." the fox growled at me. Naruko looked back.

"Ah! Sasuke! Quick come here!" she said panicking. I looked down at my legs were her gaze was. Small baby snakes had crawled up me, I HATE SNAKES. I hurriedly slapped them off my legs I then noticed that the water I was standing in was full of the little things. I rushed over to where Naruko was and grabbed her hand as she pulled me up onto the chakra cloud. The left over snakes burned.

"Is this who you were afraid of?" I said gesturing to the fox.

"No." she glanced down at the water. "I could show you though..." she muttered. Then shook her head. "No, we should get out of here." She said seriously, gripping my hand tighter.

"Show me." I demanded. She looked surprised.

"Okay." she said, then she wrapped her arms around my neck. "One, two, three!" she yelled flinging us back into the snake filled water.

"You never learn Kit." the fox grumbled before we hit the water. It was deep and the snakes crawled all over us. But we came out in a large field. There was a man who was sitting on a pile of stones.

"Naruko-chan!" he smiled. He had white skin, and long black hair. He resembled a snake. Naruko hid behind me. "Come now Naruko-chan! Who's your friend?" he said walking towards us.

"Sasuke! Please wake me up!" she said shaking my shoulder. She turned me around and slapped me.

I shot up and looked over at Naruko. I reached over and shook her until she woke up. Her eyes opened and she looked up at me. I was about to breath a sigh of relief when she threw her arms around my waist. We stayed like that for a minute. She let go and sat down with her arms wrapped around her knees.

"Night." she said as I laid back down. But she didn't go back to sleep. She simply sat up humming some type of song.

"Your not going to bed?" I yawned. She shook her head and smiled.

"Yeah! I'll be fine!" Her smile was fake. I felt bad for her. That night mare must be like the ones I used to get about Itachi. "Do you want to come sleep with me..." I said awkwardly. She looked over and crawled onto the sleeping mat next to me. She pressed her back to mine and soon I heard her soft snoring. I turned over and wrapped my arms around her. Naruko squirmed towards me.

"Thanks..." she muttered. Before falling asleep.

"Kiss the girl, La la. Go on and... kiss the girl." a voice sang I looked over at Kakashi and my face turned red. I had forgotten he was on watch.

"Shut up." I glared. Kakashi just laughed.

Naruko- Aw so sweet!

Sasuke- Hn. *blush*

Me- Aw is Sasu-chan embarrassed?

Sasuke- I'll murder you.

Me- It's tat kind of talk that won't get you your first kiss.

Naruko- HAHAHA!

Sasuke- JUST GET ON WITH THE STORY!
