14. Chapter 14

Hello students, this is the 3rd and final day of hell for Naruto. Warning for some sad-ass shit, seriously, waterworks be flowing. Hope you enjoy, because at the end of it you'll be happy! (Hopefully) Anyway, this chapter has a good amount of Narusasu, so yup. It's also going to be a good one.

On with the story!

Katsu awoke annoyed. Why? Because someone was making soft noises downstairs. Katsu groaned and slipped out his bed gracelessly, glowering the entire way as he went downstairs. He ran a hand through his racy blonde ringlets, his eyes settling on a fully dressed Sasuke eating a tomato. Katsu blinked and glanced at the clock on the wall.

"Sasuke, it's six in the morning, what in god's name would ever make you get up at this early hour?" Katsu groaned, Sasuke turned his head towards Katsu and saw the tired man.

"I told you, I have a mission"

"That means you have to get up this early?" Katsu asked.

"This is nothing, we have to get to the meeting spot sometimes at five" Sasuke scoffed, Katsu's eyes bulged and after processing he shook his head.

"No, couldn't do it, no, too early, why? Why would you do that to yourself?" Katsu voiced, Sasuke gave a shrug and went back to eating his tomato. Katsu picked up his hat and plopped onto the couch, he slouched and let his hat cover his face. A comfortable silence casted over, just quiet munching and soft breathing was present.

A knock was heard at the door. Sasuke quickly walked upstairs.

"Hey, Katsu can you get that? It's Naruto, here for our mission, I just need to get something" Sasuke requested, Katsu blinked and slowly peeked at the door under his hat. I promised to try and get along…and I don't want to upset Sasuke again…Katsu thought conflicted, Katsu suddenly smirked, But if I act nice when Sasuke's there, and not when he's not there I can get away with it!...Katsu thought.

Katsu smirked as he got up, he walked over to the door and placed his hand on the handle. He stopped himself as a lightbulb appeared over his head. He took off the shirt he slept in so he was only wearing a pair of knee-length shorts.

Katsu chuckled evilly to himself, knowing it would piss Naruto off to see him parading around Sasuke's house half-naked. Katsu opened the door to see Naruto smiling, feeling satisfied when it dropped. Naruto narrowed his eyes as Katsu leaned against the doorframe.

"Sasuke will be down in a moment" Katsu informed, Naruto didn't reply, not wanting to start a fight. Katsu knew that Sasuke wouldn't hear them, so he began to speak "He's just calming down from the 'session' we just had" Katsu smirked.

"…" Naruto just narrowed his eyes in response.

"Yeah, you should see the look on his face, mm-mm-mm, so good to look at" Katsu bragged before leaning forward a little, "You know, there's this little place he has, and if you touch it, he goes-"

"Hey, Naruto" Sasuke greeted as he walked over, Katsu leaned back knowing full well he didn't have to finish it, Sasuke approached and looked between them "Everything alright?" Sasuke asked obliviously, Katsu smirked and nodded.

"Yeah, I was just telling Naruto here how sorry I was for my behaviour yesterday, it was appalling" Katsu lied before turning to face Naruto "Right, Naruto?" Katsu asked, Naruto didn't want to upset Sasuke so nodded slowly.

"Yeah…something like that" Naruto replied in a low voice, Sasuke gave a small smile.

"Finally, you guys are getting along" Sasuke thanked before turning to look up to Katsu "I'm off to my mission now, so I'll see you later" Sasuke stated and took a step forward, Katsu snaked an arm around Sasuke's waist and pulled him back. Sasuke blinked and looked confused up at Katsu.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Sasuke asked, not really effected by the contact, while Naruto had to bite the inside of his cheek to prevent him from lunging forward. Katsu gave an 'Hn' and took off his black pirate hat and placed it on Sasuke's head.

"Wha…" Sasuke voiced baffled, Katsu gave smile.

"You told me this mission was important, so I'm giving you my lucky hat" Katsu explained, Katsu was actually doing this for Sasuke this time, and not trying to piss Naruto off. Sasuke gave a tiny pink blush. Katsu released him and gave a mini salute with his two fingers, "Good luck" Katsu winked, Sasuke gave a small smile in return.

After Katsu shut the door, Naruto and Sasuke began to walk. Naruto kept glancing at the hat with hate.

"Are…are you actually going to wear that?" Naruto questioned, they stopped in their tracks; Sasuke raised his hand to touch the brim of the hat.

"Why not?" Sasuke voiced puzzled, Naruto sighed and continued to walk.

"Nothing, never mind" Naruto exhaled, Sasuke raised an eyebrow, but didn't pursue it since Naruto didn't seem to be in the mood to talk. Which was strange, since the blonde-haired boy was always up for a conversation, but it looked as if that was not the case today. After ten minutes of deafening silence, Sasuke spoke up.

"So, um…I bet you're happy that we're doing a b-rank mission" Sasuke piped up.

"Mm" Was Naruto's only response, Sasuke bit his lip nervously and tried again.

"I, er, guess that means we have a strong opponent" Sasuke stated.

"Uh-huh" Naruto replied with no emotion, Sasuke felt a little saddened by the response, but prevailed.

"You must be pretty excited right? Facing someone like that-"

"What do you want?" Naruto sighed, stopping his walk and looking at Sasuke. Sasuke blinked and looked to the ground dejectedly.

"Nothing…I'll, um, stop bothering you…" Sasuke promised in a low voice, Naruto felt a pang of guilt hit him. Sasuke had tried to talk to him and Naruto had just ignored him. Geez, I'm a jerk... Naruto let out another sigh and tipped Sasuke's chin up, giving a soft smile.

"You're not bothering me Sasuke, I'm just a little tired is all" Naruto apologised, Sasuke blinked and gave a small frown.

"It's more than that, I can tell, what's wrong with you?" Sasuke asked concerned, Naruto gave another gentle smile and released Sasuke's chin.

"I'm fine, really, you have nothing to worry about" Naruto reassured, Sasuke continued to looked worried, unconvinced by Naruto's assurance.

"Naruto-"

"Hey guys! Over here!" Sakura called, they turned their heads to see Sakura, Sai and Kakashi. Naruto and Sasuke saw Sakura giving a big wave while Sai and Kakashi remained calm. Naruto saw how Sasuke still looked anxious over him, Naruto gave him a small smile and nudged his arm.

"Don't worry, I'm fine" Naruto promised, Sasuke still didn't look happy, but they didn't have time to talk about it since they had to get on with their mission. And besides…Naruto thought, I can have that honest talk after the mission, it's not like anything going to happen…Naruto concluded.

How wrong he was.

Naruto didn't realise that on his final day of hell, it would be his final day. As Naruto walked with his team, unaware to what was about to happen, he thought to himself.

Nothing's going to happen, how could it?…

Naruto and Sasuke dodged another spray of shuriken, skilfully evading the deadly weapon. The rogue man cackled out a piercing, deranged laughter; his movements unhinged and shambolic. Naruto and Sasuke had found him within the ballroom. Though you wouldn't think that since it had long deteriorated.

The large room was a murky brown, worsened away with age. The wood rotten away, the light was scarce and bare; a hopeless setting. The paintings on the wall were torn and ruined, the floor was a lifeless auburn; though it was stained dark crimson.

The mission was a dangerous one. A small village had complained that the old mansion that stood high on the giant hill was making strange noises. A team of genin had been sent to check it out as a d-rank mission, but only returned with one genin left; who was covered in blood. Sadly the young ninja died, but he managed to give some details on the man that attacked them.

So they split up, Sasuke with Naruto, Sai with Sakura, and Kakashi on his own. They had to track down the man within the large mansion.

And Sasuke and Naruto had.

The rogue laughed manically and threw a shower of shuriken towards Sasuke. Sasuke deflected them all quickly with his kunai; he went forward and attempted to attack the man, but the man jumped at the last second. He landed behind Sasuke and tried to stab a shuriken in his back, but Sasuke dropped low and swept his leg under the man's. The man hit the ground, Sasuke turned around to put a kunai to the man's throat.

But the man was fast and rolled away before Sasuke could. The man jumped up and gave a twisted smile, Sasuke narrowed his eyes and deflected a kunai thrown his way. The man laughed crazily and tilted his head.

"You are much more fun than those children, I can't wait to make you bleed" The man growled, but suddenly was held back by four hands.

"I wouldn't count on it!" Naruto exclaimed with a smirk.

"Yeah! You just got beat by the number one ninja! Believe it!" The Naruto clone shouted, Sasuke had a small smile reach his face; relieved to see Naruto was acting normal again. Though Sasuke should have paid attention to the look on the man's face.

"Jisatsu no jutsu…" The man murmured, but they heard it loud and clear. Sasuke's eyes widened in recognition. Naruto looked strangely at the man.

"Eh? What was that?" Naruto questioned, but Sasuke knew what it was.

"Naruto, move!" Sasuke warned, Naruto looked confused as the man began to tremble slightly.

"What? What do you-"

"MOVE!" Sasuke screamed, Naruto jumped back from the man and backed away slowly towards Sasuke.

"Err, teme? What is the Jisatsu no jutsu?..." Naruto asked as the man's body began to make bubbling bumps along his skin.

"It's an old jutsu known by little, when someone knows they've lost they initiate it and sacrifice themselves" Sasuke explained as he backed away too.

"And that's bad because…?"

"Because it turns all their body into tiny poisonous darts that will kill you almost instantly, one is enough to end your life, and after the jutsu is complete; it spits out into a shower of darts" Sasuke finished, he looked around to see if there was anywhere to hide.

"We need to get away!" Naruto exclaimed, Sasuke knew there wasn't any time to leave the room, since he could see the jutsu was almost complete. Sasuke saw that halfway up the tall wall was a broken wooden pillar. Thick enough to defend them both.

"Come on!" Sasuke ordered as he ran for cover, Naruto followed as they both heard the man bellow out a wild laugh. Sasuke ran up the wall and jumped on the wooden high floorboards, Naruto did the same as they hid behind the wooden pillar.

"BYE BYE!" The man screamed out, Sasuke gave a nod of assurance to Naruto.

"The darts may be deadly, but they're incredibly tiny, they won't be able to pierce through this" Sasuke reassured, they heard the man's chortle cut short as they heard a bursting sound. Sasuke and Naruto were safely hidden, but suddenly the weak and rotten floorboard beneath Sasuke snapped. Sasuke gasped as he began to fall.

"Sasuke!" Naruto called out, Sasuke hit the floor he looked wide-eyed to where the man had been standing. Freezing as he saw the darts fly towards him at lighting speed, Sasuke turned his head away at the last moment. The last sight he saw before closing his eyes was the deadly needles.

Sasuke laid there for a moment or two, he blinked his eyes open, Why…why don't I feel any pain?...Sasuke thought, he slowly turned his head to look down at himself; but there were no darts anywhere. He blinked as he looked up. His eyes widened as he saw why he hadn't been hit.

"Naruto…"

Naruto was standing over Sasuke, blocking any possible dart. Sasuke began to tremble as he saw the pained expression on Naruto's face. Sasuke laid there silent, unable to speak. A trickle of blood ran down Naruto's mouth as his body twitch. Naruto forced an agonising smile as he looked at Sasuke's shocked face.

"Heh…you should see the look on your face…" Naruto joked, referring to the time with Haku. Naruto swayed slightly before collapsing. Sasuke laid frozen until he finally processed what had happened. Sasuke gasped and scrambled to Naruto's side.

"N-Naruto!" Sasuke cried out, he looked over his back and saw the hundreds.

No.

Thousands of darts in Naruto's back, Sasuke made a horrified gasp and attempted to claw them out. It was no use, they began to sink into his skin.

"No no no no no! This can't be happening!" Sasuke cried out again, he flipped Naruto over and tried to look for signs of life "Naruto! Naruto! Listen to me!" Sasuke yelled.

"…Ngh…geh…you…your still bossing me around, eh?" Naruto choked out as his eyes fought to stay awake, tears escaped Sasuke's eyes.

"Idiot! This isn't the time to joke around!" Sasuke bawled, Naruto gave a weak smile towards Sasuke.

"I…ngh…have always been bad…at sensing the mood…ha ha…" Naruto forced out, Sasuke began to shake his head.

"This can't be happening, this can't be happening" Sasuke repeated over and over again, as if it would stop Naruto dying right there.

"Heh…I guess it is…"

"NO!" Sasuke screamed, shutting his eyes and fisting his dark locks, "I can't lose you! I-I-I-" Sasuke stopped as Naruto raised a hand to caress Sasuke's cheek, thumbing away a tear.

"Hey…don't cry...I'll...ngh!..b-be just fine…" Naruto reassured, Sasuke opened his eyes and shook his head lightly.

"You…you fucking liar..." Sasuke whispered out hoarsely, Naruto smiled as he continued to caress Sasuke's cheek.

"Heh…at least…I managed to do the right thing for once, eh?" Naruto laughed weakly, Sasuke continued to cry.

"Idiot! I-I-I…I never wanted this!" Sasuke screamed, more tears coming down his face. Naruto closed his eyes and gave one last smile.

"We…really can't agree on anything…" Naruto finished, Sasuke watched horrified as Naruto's hand that touched him so sweetly, fall to the ground. Sasuke began to slowly shake his head.

"No…" Sasuke whispered out, he shoved Naruto slightly "No…" Sasuke whispered out again "N-Naruto?..." Sasuke voiced, he put his ear against Naruto's heart. He froze. "No…" Sasuke whispered out before sitting up, "Naruto?...Naruto!" Sasuke repeated in a panic. Sasuke gulped and attempted to shake Naruto awake "Get up! Get up you fucking idiot! Get up!" Sasuke sobbed, Naruto's body remained unresponsive and Sasuke sat back.

Naruto's dead…

Naruto's dead…

Naruto's dead…

Naruto's dead…

Sasuke sat there and gazed at Naruto's lifeless body, he began to tremble and hid his face in his hands. Quivering as he wept, shaking his head, juddering as the image of Naruto's dead body was forever burned into his mind. Sasuke laid his head on Naruto's chest, shaking his head and whimpered on him. Devoid of a heartbeat.

Naruto's dead…

Sasuke stood dressed in black. Along with other people. Some were crying. Some just looked empty. A few couldn't bring themselves to even go. On this dreary, grey day; no one smiled. Kakashi walked up next to Sasuke and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"I know how much he meant to you, I'm sorry" Kakashi stated, Sasuke was unresponsive. Kakashi sighed and shook his head "You're going to have to start talking again Sasuke" Kakashi continued before looking at Sasuke's physical state "And eating again, you can't just kill yourself like this" Kakashi voiced, Sasuke remained impassive.

Kakashi sighed and walked away, no one could get Sasuke to talk since that day. Sasuke had virtually been a walking corpse. Not eating or drinking, talking or sleeping. Sasuke felt the rain continue to hit him, the wind blowing violently. A tear escaped his eyes as he saw lighting flash and reveal the name on the tome stone.

Uzumaki Naruto.

…

Sasuke gasped as he abruptly awoke. He was panting as he gulped slightly, he looked around and saw the plain white walls. He snapped his head left and right and calmed down as he realised.

He was in the hospital.

"That's right…hospital, not funeral…hospital" Sasuke told himself, running a hand through his hair. He sat up from the hospital sheets, he was sitting in a chair next to a hospital bed. One that he thanked for being used. He looked to his right and saw Naruto still hadn't woken up yet. Sasuke remembered Tsunade's words.

"He's lucky, the only reason he survived is because of Kyuubi, but…"

"But what?"

"He may have survived, but that doesn't mean he'll wake up"

It's all my fault…Sasuke thought, he gripped the bed sheets underneath him and shook his head, Naruto's here because of me…I nearly killed him…Sasuke thought to himself. He trembled as he hid his face into the bed sheets, I should have been the one to get hit by those darts, not Naruto!...Sasuke internally screamed to himself.

Sasuke had been blaming himself ever since it happened, it had been three days since Naruto was hit with the darts. Kakashi, Sakura and Sai had discovered Sasuke crying over Naruto. Kakashi had quickly rushed Naruto to the nearest hospital as fast as possible. As Kakashi was doing this, Sai and Sakura had tried to calm Sasuke down.

He refused to stop crying, he couldn't. One of the two had accidently made the wrong comment, saying 'It's not like he's dead' but it caused Sasuke to give one final cry before passing out. They had been worried that Sasuke was hit too, but thankfully he wasn't. The only injury he had suffered was the one from the fall. He still hadn't had it checked out; he refused to do anything except be by Naruto's side.

It should've been me! I'm the horrible one, the sarcastic one, the one who doesn't deserve to live! Naruto is too kind, too sweet, too special to die! He doesn't have the right to die! Not ever!...Sasuke screamed in his head. He didn't know what he was going to do if Naruto didn't wake up soon. He just might go crazy. Crazy to see how much damage his stupid self he had caused, I'm a fucking idiot, how could I do this to Naruto?...

Sasuke wept into the bed sheets like he had been doing the pass three days. Anyone that tried to remove him suffered, Sasuke attacked anyone who tried to move him. Even his own team. Sasuke had even hit Katsu. Sasuke hadn't even stopped himself when he attacked Shen. They weren't serious hits, just warning ones. After that, people had just decided to let the boy sit in his misery.

I can't believe I did this…I can't believe it…Sasuke sobbed into the sheets, I should just do everyone a favour and kill myself…Sasuke thought. This wasn't the first time that Sasuke had a suicidal thought, he never had them until Naruto was put here. Sasuke had gone into his depression that didn't surface that often. The thing about Sasuke's depression was that he never felt suicidal, but this time…he was seriously considering it.

The only thing keeping him alive was the small hope that Naruto would wake up. That and the fact that he was in the hospital 24/7, so he couldn't exactly just kill himself there. Sasuke just wished that he was in a cruel genjutsu, or he was having a bad dream. That's all he wanted right now, And for Naruto to wake up…Sasuke thought.

Sasuke was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't feel the bed shift, Sasuke continued to quietly cry into the bed.

"Sasuke?..." A voice spoke, Sasuke's head snapped up, his eyes widened when he saw Naruto sitting up and looking down at Sasuke. It took a second for Sasuke to process it all, but when he did he jumped up and wrapped his arms around Naruto's neck; hiding his face into the crook of Naruto's neck, "Sasuke?-"

"You're okay, you're okay" Sasuke repeated quietly to himself, Naruto blinked and slowly wrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist. It was like that for a minute before Sasuke lifted his head to face Naruto, "Idiot! What do you think you were doing?" Sasuke exclaimed, tears still clear on his face. Naruto blinked and stared at Sasuke, Sasuke didn't like the lack of response and tensed, "Well? What do you have to say for yourself?"

Naruto gazed at Sasuke silently, he unwrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist and placed them either side of Sasuke's face. Naruto began to wipe away Sasuke's tears with his thumbs, Sasuke allowed him and just let himself soak in that Naruto was okay. Sasuke still kept his arms wrapped securely around Naruto's neck.

"You…you've been crying" Naruto stated quietly as he removed his hands, seeing the slightly puffy and red eyes that Sasuke had.

"Dobe, why do you think that is?" Sasuke huffed, Naruto gave a sheepish grin in return.

"Sorry"

"Don't apologise! I was the one who put you here!" Sasuke replied guiltily, his head hung in shame, "If I hadn't have been so clumsy-"

"Sasuke!" Naruto snapped, "You didn't trip, the floorboard beneath you broke, there was nothing you could have done"

"It was my fault!" Sasuke exclaimed as his head shot back up.

"No, I jumped in front of you, I let the darts hit me, not you!" Naruto corrected in a strict tone, Naruto saw how Sasuke flinched at the memory.

Sasuke nuzzled his head quickly into Naruto's neck, beginning to softly cry. Naruto blinked and sighed, Maybe I shouldn't have been so blunt…Naruto thought to himself. Soothingly patting Sasuke's back, remembering the phrase that Sasuke kept on saying.

"I'm…okay, Sasuke, I'm okay" Naruto reassured, Sasuke sniffled slightly and lifted his head; their faces mere inches away like before, "I'm here, I'm alive, I'm okay" Naruto smiled.

Sasuke stared deeply into Naruto's eyes; Naruto caught the glance that Sasuke threw to his lips, so was able to put his hands on Sasuke's shoulders before Sasuke attempted to kiss him.

"Sasuke…you seem really vulnerable right now, so I don't think you want this"

"I don't know what I want" Sasuke replied quickly in a slightly breathy voice, Naruto blinked at the quick answer. Sasuke slowly leaned forward and pressed his lips against Naruto's, he moved his lips for a second before Naruto pushed him away again. Naruto's head hung low as he gripped Sasuke's shoulders.

"This…this is wrong" Naruto stated, Sasuke…Sasuke has a boyfriend, so this is wrong…Naruto thought, Sasuke blinked and shamefully turned his head to the side.

"Maybe you're right…" Sasuke responded, I knew he didn't like me…Sasuke thought, it was silent before a small knock at the door was made. Sasuke unwrapped his arms from Naruto's neck and Naruto took his hands off Sasuke's shoulders.

The person who knocked came through, it was revealed to be Sakura. The pink-haired girl was carrying a tray full of food; she looked a little tired herself since she spent a lot of the time in the hospital since the incident. She walked forward, unaware that Naruto was awake.

"Don't worry, Sasuke, I won't try to move you, but you have to eat otherwise-" Sakura stopped when she saw Naruto sitting upright, she blinked and put the tray down on the bedside table, she gave a sigh of relief and placed a hand over her chest, "Thank god, you're alright" Sakura voiced thankfully. Naruto gave a grin and rubbed the back of his head.

"Heh heh, yeah, I'm good" Naruto replied sheepishly.

"Well, I still need to check your vitals" Sakura stated as she began to check and ask questions, Naruto's eyes kept stealing glances at Sasuke, who was leaning on the end of the bed. Sasuke was observing the ground and looked like he was working something out. As this went on, Katsu appeared at the door.

"Hn" Katsu voiced, everyone looked at him in acknowledgement.

"Hey Katsu" Sakura greeted, Sakura was introduced to Katsu when he had tried to remove Sasuke. Sakura knew the true relationship between Katsu and Sasuke, so it was why she didn't realise that Naruto thought that Katsu was Sasuke's boyfriend.

"Sasuke, Sakura, would you please allow me and Naruto to talk" Katsu requested calmly, Sasuke attempted to protest, but Sakura intervened.

"Fine by us, come on Sasuke, now you have no excuse to not get your own wound healed" Sakura pointed out as she dragged Sasuke by the wrist.

"But wait I-"

"No buts!" Sakura finished as she dragged him out, Katsu closed the door behind them and approached Naruto. Naruto glowered at the man and scowled.

"We need to talk, Naruto" Katsu stated.

"Tch, I don't want to hear it" Naruto barked back.

"I'm serious" Katsu replied, now standing next to the bed with his arms loosely folded, "I know what you did for Sasuke, I know how you saved him" Katsu continued in his calm voice, Naruto gave a unsure scowl towards him.

"Yeah, so? What's it to you?"

"Gratitude" Katsu answered, silencing Naruto "I'm forever in your debt, Uzumaki Naruto" Katsu gave a small bow to Naruto, Naruto resembled a deer caught in headlights; surprised and unsure what to do next.

"Um…it was no big deal?" Naruto responded uncertainly, Katsu snapped his head back up.

"Yes, it was" Katsu corrected, he stood up straight and looked Naruto in the eye "I owe you a great deal, what you did for Sasuke was inimitable" Katsu stated passionately, Naruto blinked and suddenly looked solemn.

"You…you really care for Sasuke, don't you" Naruto asked quietly, Katsu nodded.

"Yes, a great deal" Katsu answered, making Naruto let out a quiet sigh, Katsu saw the solemn expression on his face "…but, I can see that you also share this consideration for Sasuke" Katsu continued, Naruto gave a weak 'Hn' and shook his head.

"You know, most boyfriends wouldn't be so thrilled about that" Naruto scoffed slightly.

"Hn" Was Katsu's answer, Naruto raised an eyebrow at the strange response.

"What?"

"Nothing…" Katsu replied, before asking a question of his own "What are your intentions with Sasuke?" Katsu asked, Naruto blinked confused and tilted his head.

"What? I don't have-"

"Do not bullshit me" Katsu interrupted with a stern voice, folding his arms "You don't go through all the trouble you have gone through to not have an agenda" Katsu stated, Katsu saw the baffled expression on Naruto's face. Katsu looked for signs of a lie, but found none "I see…" Katsu murmured.

"Look, I don't know what you're thinking, but-"

"What would I be thinking about, Naruto?" Katsu interrupted, Naruto knitted his eyebrows together.

"Don't make me out to be that kind of guy, I'm not like that" Naruto defended, but he wasn't really able to defend against what Katsu said next.

"Then what are you, Naruto?" Katsu questioned, Naruto went silent at that question, "Show me why Sasuke trusts you, why he believes in you because your actions three days ago force me to admit my initial…perception of your character was perhaps bias and prejudice" Katsu confessed, Naruto blinked in utter bewilderment.

"Huh?"

"Oh good lord, what does Sasuke see in you? I'm trying to say I was wrong about you" Katsu sighed annoyed, Naruto processed what he had said and spoke.

"Does this mean you're going to apologise?"

"Don't push it" Katsu answered, it was a long moment of silence before Naruto spoke up again.

"You better take care of him…" Naruto voiced in a low threatening tone, Katsu raised an eyebrow at the order. Naruto's head hung low, his hands clutched the bedsheets in a death grip; trembling slightly.

"Hm?"

"Sasuke…you better look after him, you seem to make him happy so…"Naruto shot his head up to face Katsu with a heated expression "You better not break his heart, or I'll kill you" Naruto threated, Katsu remained impassive.

"Will you now?"

"Yes, I don't care if you're ninja or civilian, I'll hurt you down and rip your head off" Naruto promised, Katsu was satisfied with the threat and gave an 'Hn'.

"In that case, I entrust Sasuke to you"

"Ehhh? What are you talking about?" Naruto asked quizzically before shaking he head "Man, you are the strangest boyfriend ever"

"Hn, I suppose it's the appropriate for me to reveal my true identity" Katsu supposed, Naruto narrowed his eyes.

"What?!" Naruto snapped, "You've been lying to Sasuke?!" Naruto exclaimed, but Katsu remained calm.

"No, to you" Katsu corrected, Naruto had a look of confusion "I'm not actually Sasuke's boyfriend, I only did that to separate you and Sasuke" Katsu explained, Naruto's eyes shot open, Sasuke…doesn't have a boyfriend?...Naruto thought, before processing the reason.

"What? Why would you do that?"

"Because Sasuke is like a little brother to me" Katsu answered, Naruto's eyes shot open again.

"He…is?"

"Not biologically, but from a long time ago; Sasuke's father raised me from a young age, so I used to look out for Sasuke, and after being reunited with him after so long I didn't want to lose him again…" Katsu explained as Naruto listened keenly "Sasuke is important to me and for some reason you are important to him, so whether we like it or not, we're going to get along, for Sasuke's sake" Katsu finished, Naruto sighed and shook his head.

"So that's why…"

"Hm?"

"So that's why he wanted me to get along with you" Naruto clarified before running a hand through his hair, "And all I did was argue with you…great…" Naruto sighed, Katsu actually felt a little bad for Naruto and spoke up.

"I don't think he's particularly bothered about that, he refused to leave your side for three days, he hit anyone that tried to move him, and not to mention how he's ignored his own injuries because he was too concerned for you" Katsu informed Naruto, who looked shocked to hear the information.

"He…did?"

"Yes, it was almost pathetic to watch, getting all emotional over you, no one gets like that for a normal friend, you two obviously has some issues that you've left unaddressed" Katsu accused, Naruto blinked and tilted his head.

"What do you mean?"

"Hn, I'll let you figure that out" Katsu replied before getting something out his back pocket and handing it to Naruto, Naruto took it and saw it was a flyer for some kind of festival.

"Festival of Kasai?"

"Yes"

"Um…what do you want me to do with this?" Naruto asked puzzled, Katsu gave an 'Hn'.

"I deem you worthy to be a suitor for Sasuke, this is merely a suggestion as to how you could be more than a suitor" Katsu explained, Naruto blinked and looked at the flyer then back at Katsu.

"Are you…telling me to ask Sasuke out?"

"In a sense, yes"

"But-"

The door opened and Sasuke came through, Sakura appeared in the doorway looking annoyed.

"Sasuke!" Sakura called out annoyed, but Sasuke ignored her.

"You've treated my wounds, now leave me alone" Sasuke ordered, Sakura grumbled under her breath about being an 'ungrateful brat' and sighed, "Besides, these two can't be left alone without fighting" Sasuke stated as he approached them both.

"Actually, me and Naruto were having a civil conversation" Katsu pointed out, Sasuke blinked and looked between them both.

"Oh…" Sasuke voiced a little humiliated, "I'll, um, just leave you to it then…" Sasuke said taking a step back before Katsu went behind him.

"Actually, I think you and Naruto should talk" Katsu suggested pushing Sasuke towards Naruto, quickly leaving and shutting the door. Naruto and Sasuke looked in two different directions, slightly embarrassed.

"Um…sorry about earlier…" Sasuke apologised shamefully. Naruto blinked and looked at Sasuke confused.

"What do you…oh…" Naruto trailed off, realising that Sasuke was referring to the kiss. Naruto shifted uncomfortably, "Um…listen, don't worry about it" Naruto started, "It's fine, really, of all things I'm flattered" Naruto tried to reassure.

"Apparently enough to push me away…" Sasuke mumbled under his breath, but Naruto caught it.

"H-Hey it's nothing against you Sasuke, it's just that I thought you had a boyfriend and-"

"What?" Sasuke interrupted confused, Naruto blinked and rubbed the back of his head.

"Oh well, I just thought that Katsu was your boyfriend-"

"What?! Why would you think that?" Sasuke questioned, folding his arms in a hostile manner. Naruto felt a little bit like a boyfriend who just called his girlfriend fat.

"Um, well, Katsu said-"

"Katsu said?! Katsu said that he was my boyfriend?!"

"U-Um-"

"What else did he say?!" Sasuke snapped angrily, Naruto was terrified by this point, but he didn't want to be on the receiving end of infuriated Uchiha.

"Well, he um, said um-" Naruto stuttered nervously.

"Well?!" Sasuke growled as he tapped his foot impatiently, Naruto gulped and tried to form a sentence.

"Well, he er, implied that you two were together since um, he said-"

"Said what?!"

"N-N-Nothing really, just that you guys were moving in because you were together a-and something about sex outfits, but-"

"Sex outfits?!" Sasuke screamed furiously, Shit…Naruto thought as Sasuke was surround by fire, "He said I wore sex outfits?!" Sasuke snapped.

"U-Um"

"Katsu!" Sasuke shouted as he stormed out and kicked Naruto's hospital door and it went flying. Naruto gulped as Sasuke stomped around the corner, "KATSU!"

"Sasuke? What's wrong? W-Whoa! P-Put that d-down!" Naruto heard Katsu say.

"You told Naruto that we were together?!" Sasuke screamed, Naruto flinched as he could only imagine the terror of Katsu.

"W-With good reason!" Katsu defended.

"YOU TOLD HIM THAT I WORE SEX OUTFITS FOR YOU?!"

"Okay, maybe that was a little over the top, w-wait Sasuke! What are you doing with that-AHHHHH!" Naruto cringed at Katsu's scream. He sighed and shook his head.

"Hell hath no fury like Sasuke…" Naruto mumbled to himself.

Katsu had to be admitted to his own hospital bed.

Sasuke came back into the room a few minutes later, still looking a little pissed. Sasuke walked back to Naruto's side and acted like he hadn't just broken a man.

"Sorry about that, I had to deal with something" Sasuke explained causally, Naruto sweat-dropped and just went with it.

"R-Right" Naruto responded with a bit of a nervous smile, at that moment he suddenly remembered the flyer.

He looked down at his hand and saw that it was this Saturday, he knew he would be out of the hospital by then. He bit the inside of his cheek, Should I ask him?... Naruto pondered to himself. He looked at Sasuke who had taken an interest in the floor.

"Um…hey Sasuke, I was wondering…" Naruto started, Sasuke faced him, making Naruto more nervous, "Er, if you want, I mean, you don't have to, but um…" Naruto rubbed the back of his head anxiously, Why is he so nervous?... Sasuke thought "There's this thing…and um, I was thinking…" Naruto gulped slightly and tried again "Maybe we could, um…"

"Uh-huh..." Sasuke encouraged.

"Just thinking if, well, when I get out of here, we could go…um, to this, er…"

"Uh-huh..." Sasuke repeated, leaning forward a little.

"Festival, it's um, in Gecia next week and…you know, just a thought, we could go?" Naruto finally asked, Naruto's face was a bright pink. Sasuke nearly laughed at the nervous expression, but controlled himself. Naruto suddenly looked panicked and spoke "I-I mean you don't have to I was just thinking, in fact it's stupid, just forget I said anythi-"

"Yes"

"Huh?" Naruto voiced confused, Sasuke gave a small smile in return.

"Yes, I'll go the festival with you" Sasuke clarified, Naruto blinked.

"You will?" Naruto questioned, Sasuke gave a small nod.

"I said yes for a reason, didn't I?" Sasuke replied, rolling his eyes playfully, Naruto smiled.

"Great…great! So, I'll um…meet you at the train station at six?" Naruto asked, Sasuke nodded his head. Sasuke bit his lip for a moment before placing a gentle hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"And Naruto?"

"Hm?" Naruto voiced, Sasuke leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on his cheek. Naruto's eyes widened at the tender gesture, Sasuke raised his mouth to Naruto's ear.

"Thanks for saving me" Sasuke whispered before slipping his hand away and walking away coolly out the room. Naruto melted and a dreamy grin made its way on to his face. He placed both his hands behind his head smugly and leant back against the bed, beaming with satisfaction.

"Hn" Naruto said to himself, "I got it" Naruto grinned haughtily to himself.

"Really now?" A voice said, Naruto squeaked and jumped. He looked to the door and hoped it wasn't Sasuke who heard him say that. Though he was relieved to see it wasn't him, but someone else.

"E-Ero-sensei! I was just, um, I er-"

"Celebrating?" Jiraiya chuckled as he walked over, Naruto blushed and turned his head to the side, "Got some action from the Uchiha, huh?" Jiraiya teased, Naruto's face poofed red and Jiraiya laughed.

"I-I-It's not like that you perverted old man!" Naruto stuttered embarrassed, Jiraiya laughed as he approached Naruto.

"Red in the face already? It seems like you're the perverted one, heh heh" Jiraiya chuckled, Naruto blushed even more and turned his head away.

"S-Shut up!" Naruto exclaimed, Jiraiya continued to chuckle as he folded his arms. Casually closing one eyes, he peeked at Naruto with the other.

"So, how are you going to woo the heart of the ice princess?" Jiraiya asked, Naruto slowly turned his head and faced Jiraiya.

"I…um, what?" Naruto replied confused, Jiraiya gave an exaggerated sigh and shook his head.

"My naïve student, have you learnt nothing from the greatest lover of all time?"

"…Kakashi?..."

"No! Me! Geez, show some respect, huh?" Jiraiya complained, "When you go on this date with Sasuke, you need to-"

"It's not a date" Naruto corrected, It's…just two friends hanging out…Naruto thought to himself, but Jiraiya was unconvinced.

"Then what was that kiss on the cheek he gave you?" Jiraiya asked, Naruto placed his fingers on the spot where Sasuke had kissed him and blushed slightly.

"It…it wasn't romantic, he was just thanking me for saving his life" Naruto explained, Jiraiya gave an 'Hmpf' in return and shook his head.

"Whatever you say" Jiraiya responded flippantly, Naruto was slightly annoyed by the unconvinced response, "What is your plan anyway?" Jiraiya asked, Naruto blinked and looked puzzled at Jiraiya who rolled his eyes, "Don't tell me you was going to go on the first date without a plan?" Jiraiya snorted, Naruto growled.

"Not a date"

"Fine, you still need a plan" Jiraiya pointed out, Naruto sighed and leant against the bed.

"Well, I don't know, I've never planned stuff like this, I just go with the flow" Naruto replied.

"That won't do!" Two female voices called out, Jiraiya and Naruto looked to the door to see Ino and Sakura standing there. They marched in and stood at the end of the bed with their hands on their hips.

"You need a plan or it'll be boring and awkward!" Ino said as if it was the most obvious thing.

"And how can you possibly set the mood if you don't how to do it? Remember, Sasuke's boyfriend-"

"It turns out it wasn't his boyfriend" Naruto corrected.

"Oh…" Sakura voiced before shaking her head, "That doesn't matter! You still need to set the mood!" Sakura scolded, Naruto felt like a small child who said a bad word; with Sakura and Ino acting like disapproving mothers.

"I don't need to set the mood! It's not a date!" Naruto defended.

"The hell it isn't!" Sakura scoffed before she and Ino pulled a large white board out of nowhere.

"Now, let's begin the plan" Jiraiya began, Sakura and Ino saluted.

"Hai!" They called out.

"Wait a minute! Are you crazy?!" Naruto exclaimed, Jiraiya pulled a pen out of nowhere and began to write on the board. Naruto raised an eyebrow as Jiraiya wrote the title, Jiraiya pulled back proudly and revealed what he wrote. Naruto gave the board a dry look, "Really?" Naruto voiced humourlessly.

How to win the heart of a raven-haired beauty in three stages

Naruto shook his head at the title, but Jiraiya wrote 'step one' on the board.

"Step one of stage one! Isometrics!" Jiraiya called out.

Step one: Isometrics

"Why hah do I hah have hah to do hah this?" Naruto asked between breaths, it had been two days since Jiraiya, Sakura and Ino had initiated the plan. It had been one day since Naruto got out of hospital. They had insisted Naruto take part in the plan, of course Naruto refused, but after facing the wrath of two yaoi fangirls he complied.

"Because! We have to make sure you're toned and ready for this date, you can't go looking saggy and foul, you'll never get Sasuke to kiss you that way" Jiraiya explained as Naruto continued the pull-ups, Sakura and Ino was holding a clipboard which Naruto had assumed to be 'the plan'. Never had he been so afraid of a piece of paper.

"I hah told you hah it's not hah a hah date, and I don't hah want a hah kiss hah from Sasuke hah" Naruto panted out, but it didn't matter how many times he told them that, they just ignored him and continued with the plan.

"Alright, you've worked your arms, now your stomach" Jiraiya ordered, Naruto groaned and let go of the metal bar, he sat down and began to do sit ups.

"I'm hah not hah out of hah shape hah, so why hah do I hah have to hah do this hah?" Naruto asked.

"It's just a little spruce up to make sure you're on top of your game" Sakura explained.

"Also, Sasuke is incredibly hot, so you need to be able to compete" Ino piped up, Naruto gave her a strange look.

"Compete? Hah what are hah you talking hah about?" Naruto questioned, Ino just rolled her eyes and placed a hand on her hips.

"Duh! Sasuke is like, the cutest guy, others are going to try and get his attention! You need to make sure that doesn't happen!" Ino explained, flipping her hair back. Naruto rolled his own eyes and continued to do the sit ups.

"Alright, push-ups" Jiraiya ordered, Naruto flipped over and began to do push-ups. Both girls looked at the clipboard and hummed. It scared Naruto to no end.

"OK, after Naruto has done some running-"

"I have to run too?!"

"AFTER Naruto has done some running!" Sakura repeated in a stern voice, "We'll let him take a shower, then we move on to step two" Sakura continued, Naruto blinked.

"Step two? What's hah step two?" Naruto asked.

…

Step two: Tresses

"No" Naruto stated for the 18th time, the trio sighed and shook their heads.

"Naruto, it's only a haircut"

"No, I'm not letting you cut my hair, it's totally unnecessary!" Naruto exclaimed, Sakura sighed and leant forward.

"Look, we're not going to cut it all off, we're just taking you to a good hairdresser of mine; she'll only take the ends off, I swear" Sakura promised, Naruto grumbled under his breath as him and the trio entered the hairdresser.

A pretty woman with purple hair walked happily up to them, she gave Sakura and Ino a hug.

"Girls! It's good to see you again, and oh! Is this the cute blonde you was talking about?" The woman asked as she walked up to Naruto and began to circle him.

"Uh-huh, he has a date in five days, and we need to make sure he looks perfect, think you can help?" Sakura questioned, the purple-haired woman was nodding her head and observing Naruto.

"Mm-hm, ah-ha, well I got some good material here" The woman stated, "I'm thinkiiiiiing a natural look, wild yet disciplined, blondes were always a favourite of mine, they just have such luscious hair" The woman stated, she guided Naruto to a seat and clicked her fingers, "Megan! Tiana! Give me the hair products, and not the ones we reserve for douches, the x-list styler brand! Thaaaank you!" The woman ordered, "Don't worry honey, leave it to me, I'll have you looking fabulous in no time, and as a bonus, I'll keep it so you can still retain your male pride" The woman chuckled.

An hour later, the purple-haired women took a step back and gave a sigh of relief.

"My work…is done" She breathed out, people around her giving polite applause. Naruto stood up from the chair and looked in the mirror. Preparing himself for the worst, he opened his eyes hesitantly. Naruto blinked and saw…

A really good hair-cut.

Naruto observed that his previously 'okay' hair was now stylish, it wasn't a massive change. He still had his wild blonde spikes, but they just looked more appealing and alluring. Naruto touched his hair, it looked spiky and usually felt spiky, but now it felt soft. The trio approached him with approving gazes.

"Wow Naruto, even you can clean up" Ino snickered, Naruto just nodded dumbly as he continued to touch and prod his hair, mystified on how he never got his hair to look like this before.

"Alright alright, Naruto has good hair now, but we still have the third step to go" Sakura pointed out.

"That's right, this time we're going to a shopping place of Ino, am I right?" Jiraiya asked, Ino nodded proudly and folded her arms arrogantly.

"That's right, now you get to see why I always looked so good" Ino bragged.

"Step three, let's go!" Sakura called out energetically, Naruto turned to face them with a small pout.

"Just so you know, I'm only going along with this because I turned out pretty good" Naruto defended, though for some reason he was getting more and more excited for Sasuke to see him.

…

Step three: Attire

"Mahogany is sooo not his colour" Ino stated.

"Are you kidding, Ino? He'd look great" Sakura argued.

"Pfft, yeah if he was some old grandpa" Ino replied sarcastically, the girls had been debating on the clothes Naruto would wear on the date with Sasuke. Naruto had sat on the chair bored out of his mind, Jiraiya had disappeared and left him with the restless girls.

"Fine, let's talk about colour later, let's just decide on the type of clothes he should wear" Sakura suggested, Ino nodded and closed her eyes to think.

"How about skinny jeans?"

"Last time I check, Naruto doesn't wear skinny jeans and besides, those kind of clothes are tight in a particular area and believe me, Naruto will suffocate" Sakura stated, Naruto was way too tired to even get embarrassed, "How about some army trousers? He always looks good in them" Sakura suggested.

"Yeah, on missions, we're trying to woo Sasuke not make him write a report" Ino replied.

"Alright, t-shirt?" Sakura suggested, but Ino shook her head.

"A simple t-shirt says 'I can't be bothered to put in some effort', we need something better than that"

"Well what the hell do you suggest? A frigging crop top?!" Sakura snapped, Ino narrowed her eyes.

"At least it's better than a bloody t-shirt!"

"Girls girls, there's no need to fight" Jiraiya said calmly as he walked in with a bag, "I have the perfect clothes riiight here" Jiraiya assured, patting the bag. Everyone raised an eyebrow as he pulled out the outfit. The girls gasped and walked over, they looked lovingly over the clothes.

"Oh Jiraiya-sensei, this is just wonderful" Sakura stated breath-taken.

"Hai, I'd date a guy with these clothes" Ino agreed, Naruto looked over the clothes and had to admit they were pretty cool looking.

It consisted of orange knee-length shorts, though with a black trim and a black dragon pattern going up the left side of the leg. A black sleeveless hoodie with no zip, quite trendy. Completed with a hood that had an orange and white trim, with matching drawstrings. Black wristbands with two horizontal orange stripes.

It wasn't Naruto's usual style, but he had to admit it looked good. Sakura and Ino were complimenting the clothing when Ino suddenly gasped.

"Wait! We still need to get the right shoes" Ino pointed out, Sakura shrugged at that one and replied.

"It won't be that hard, we just have to find ones that match the outfit" Sakura responded flippantly, but Ino blinked.

"But…what kind of shoes?..." Ino trailed off, it was silent for a moment before the two girls began to argue again. Naruto groaned and let his back hit the large seat, I don't even know if I'll make it to Saturday with Sasuke…Naruto thought as the girls screeched at each other.

…

Step four: Philandering

The trio had eventually decided on black ninja sandals that came up to the middle of his calf. They now were at a restaurant, Sakura had insisted to the staff that they had a private booth. They were seated in a curtained booth that was semi-circle styled.

They were seated so it was Jiraiya at one end, then Sakura, then Ino and finally Naruto. Sakura asked that they not be disturbed, Naruto gave Sakura a strange look at the request.

"Trust me, we don't need the waiters seeing what we're doing" Sakura stated, ironically making Naruto trust her less. "Now for the art of flirting with body language" Sakura said, Naruto blinked and shook his head at Sakura.

"I don't think that's needed, besides even if it was a date, I know how to flirt with body language" Naruto replied, but Sakura gave him a stern look.

"What are you going to do? Fake a yawn and put your arm around him?" Sakura responded making Naruto pout.

"What's wrong with a classic?"

"Naruto, we hate that" Sakura answered with a deadpan voice, "It's the single worst thing a guy can do to us"

"It's insincere and cheesy" Ino added, Naruto sighed and sat back.

"Alright then, what do you suggest if you're such an expert?" Naruto questioned, Sakura gave a smirk and turned her head to Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya-sensei, would you care to demonstrate?" Sakura asked, Jiraiya gave an 'Hn' and moved closer to Sakura.

"You see Naruto, in the game of flirting, it's allll about subtly" Jiraiya lectured all-knowingly, "For example, if Sakura was to say something funny here I would do this" Jiraiya stated, Jiraiya looked down at Sakura and gave a small chuckle, nonchalantly running a hand through the side of his hair and casually placing it above were Sakura was seated "You see? Subtle is the key" Jiraiya finished.

Naruto had to admit. It was pretty dang smooth. It also increased the general intimacy between Sakura and Jiraiya, Naruto was now intrigued and leant forward and rested on his forearms.

"Okay, okay, fair enough, what else you got?" Naruto asked, Sakura smirked and moved herself over to Ino.

"Well, during conversation, try to use your hands, like this" Sakura instructed, Ino began to talk about random stuff and Sakura pretended to pay attention. Sakura and Ino faked a small laugh and during so Sakura had lifted her hand to caress the side of Ino's hair, "See? Like this, subtle" Sakura stated, Naruto nodded interested.

Even though Naruto had been in relationships he didn't really know about all these techniques, so he felt the need to learn more.

"What else?" Naruto asked eagerly, Ino gave a confident noise and leant forward.

"I'll show you how to do it, this technique is perfect for flirting" Ino flaunted, she turned to Sakura and spoke, "Sometimes you have to be subtly unsubtle" Ino stated, Naruto gave a puzzled expression in response.

"Eh?"

"Just watch, boy" Ino instructed, her and Sakura pretended to talk and Ino rested her hand on Sakura's thigh, "You see Naruto, for people who just can't get the message, they need a hint to show that you're interested" Ino explained before mocking her hand gently up and down, "And when things are getting good, you move your hand more"

"Alright, alright blondie, you can get off now" Sakura instructed, Ino gave a growl and removed her hand.

"I'm not a carpet muncher like you, so don't worry" Ino hissed back, folding her arms.

"Even if you were, not my type" Sakura replied.

"Ha! Please, you would totally be all over me" Ino scoffed, Sakura rolled her eyes.

"You wish!"

"I wish" Jiraiya spoke up, looking at both the girls intensely. Everyone sweat-dropped at the perverted expression on Jiraiya's face.

"Anyway" Sakura stated, changing the subject "Step five" Sakura continued, Naruto raised an eyebrow at how everyone seemed to lean forward.

"Um…what is step five?" Naruto asked, though everyone's strange expressions made him nervous.

"Well…this one is more on you" Sakura stated.

"Me? What do you mean?" Naruto enquired, the trio shared a look before Sakura looked back at Naruto.

"Well, we were just wondering…when in the event of a certain thing happening, how would you go about…well…doing that thing, I mean-"

"How you going to be stuffin' the muffin?" Jiraiya interrupted Sakura, Sakura snapped her head towards Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya!" Sakura hissed, not liking how forward he was. Though Naruto didn't understand.

"Huh?"

"You know, taking a trip to pound town, threading the needle, sweeping the chimney" Jiraiya answered, Naruto furrowed his eyebrows together and gave a small shake of his head. Jiraiya chuckled and made a gesture with his hand, "Hit a home run? Butter the biscuit? Play doctor and nurse?" Jiraiya tried, Naruto just looked quizzically at Jiraiya as Sakura looked annoyed and Ino just snickered, "Roll in the hay?! Hanky panky?! For goodness sake, the no pants dance!" Jiraiya exclaimed.

"No pants…" Naruto trailed off confused until his face looked surprised, "Oh…oh god! What is the matter with you?!" Naruto exclaimed, Sakura sighed and placed an arm on the table.

"Look, Naruto, we're just curious on how you're going to...do it with Sasuke, because-"

"I'm not going to do anything like that with Sasuke" Naruto corrected, folding his arms "Anyway, why is that even a step?"

"Calm down, it's not like we're demonstrating" Ino rolled her eyes.

"I still think we should" Jiraiya piped up, Sakura ignored him and continued to speak.

"We just want to know what kind of style you have when it comes to that kind of thing"

"Style?" Naruto voiced confused.

"Yeah style, for example…something like…I don't know, position" Sakura suggested, Naruto looked disbelieving at her and scoffed. He froze when he saw how the trio were looking at him expectantly, he looked between him and spoke.

"You're not actually serious are you?" Naruto asked, but the trio looked at him keenly. He sighed and shook his head, he was silent for a moment. He looked as if he was actually considering what they were trying to say, but leant back against the booth, "I don't really feel comfortable talking about this to the girl I used to like, the girl with the biggest mouth and my teacher" Naruto complained.

"Oh come on!" Sakura responded, "You don't even like me anymore, and Ino won't say anything because I got blackmail on her and Jiraiya was with you when you was 15, the age when you go through puberty so I think this is nothing!" Sakura tried to argue.

"That's right" Jiraiya agreed, causing Naruto to give him a half-embarrassed, half-annoyed expression, "You used to touch yourself a lot..."

"Oi! Jiraiya!" Naruto snapped flustered, Jiraiya chuckled.

"It's good that during your training with me you got yourself a girlfriend, she was your first time right?" Jiraiya asked casually, "Because I know you had your first girlfriend at 14, errr, Anna right? The crazy one?" Jiraiya spoke.

"I wouldn't really count Anna as a girlfriend" Naruto stated with an unsure voice, "I mean, one, she was crazy and two, we were 14 so all we did was hang out" Naruto shrugged.

"Then you met Casey when training with me" Jiraiya voiced, Naruto nodded.

"Mm" Naruto replied with a small smile, "Yeah, I really liked her…"

"Why did you break-up?" Ino asked.

"Well, me and Jiraiya were only training in that part of the country for a year, so when I had to go back we had to break-up, I haven't really seen her since" Naruto explained, Sakura nodded and gave a 'Hn'.

"Yeah, you showed me a picture of her when you got back…looked like Sasuke if you ask me" Sakura commented, Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Anyway, yes ero-sensei, Casey was my first" Naruto answered.

"Then Tina who you got with a month after you returned, then after a month with her you went with Rachel; you was with her for like…what, one month? Then after her you was with Scarlet for two months" Sakura recounted, "So…in the past 11 months you've had three girlfriend, and you broke up with Scarlet about two months ago" Sakura estimated.

"Yeah, so?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow, Sakura casually shrugged, "Just saying, I mean, in 3 months is your birthday, you're gonna be 17 (Naruto's birthday is October 10th, that's his real birthday and by the way, I made it so that Naruto is the oldest, then Sasuke, then Sakura) Don't you want to spend your birthday with someone special?" Sakura questioned.

"I do, with my friends" Naruto replied.

"No Naruto" Sakura responded, "I mean we're are getting to that age where you spend special times with one specific person"

"Sakura-chan, we're not 30" Naruto countered, Sakura rolled her eyes in an annoyed manner.

"You know what I'm hinting at" Sakura sighed, Naruto groaned and slide down in his seat like a child, "Anyway, you still haven't told us anything about your style, you've been with enough people to establish one" Sakura indicted, Naruto sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"I don't know…um, normal?" Naruto tried to say, the trio gave unsatisfied noises and Naruto sat up, "What? What's wrong with that answer?"

"Because normal isn't a style, normal is different to everyone" Ino explained, rubbing her temples.

"Just tell us what positions you use" Sakura recommended, Naruto blushed slightly and looked incredulously towards Sakura.

"Um, how about no?" Naruto replied.

"You are not leaving here till you tell me three sex positions that you would do with Sasuke" Sakura stated stubbornly.

"Do you even hear yourself?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, I got issues, I'll deal with them later, now tell me, now" Sakura ordered. Naruto blinked and decided to just get it over with. He looked at the three faces who looked expectantly at him, he sighed and turned his head to the side, trying to think. All I have to do is name a few sex positions, doesn't mean I'll have to imagine them with Sasuke…Naruto concluded.

"Er, let's see, um…cowgirl?" Naruto suggested, Sakura gave a nod in approval, along with the others. Naruto's cheeks heated slightly more when the quick image of Sasuke doing that position...Naruto shook his head, No! Stop it! Bad thoughts, Bad thoughts!...

"Another?" Ino piped up in an impatient voice, Naruto sighed and tried to think of another.

"Um…69?"

"One of my favourites" Jiraiya commented contently, Naruto shook his head and tried to ignore that statement…while another image of him and Sasuke and a certain 69 position wondered into his mind…Damn it! Have some control!...Naruto scolded himself.

"Okay one more, err…I don't know, lotus flower?" Naruto proposed, obviously Sasuke popping back into his head.

"Okay, pretty good" Sakura congratulated, "I would have also have accepted the pinwheel, the electric slide and doggy style" Sakura listed, Naruto cringed, Sakura raised an eyebrow at the response, "What's the matter with you?"

"I'm…not a big fan of the last two…"

"Why not?"

"I don't like it when you're doing something…intimate and you can't even see their face, it feels weird, like…you're being rude somehow" Naruto explained.

"Oh my god, why can't all guys be like you?" Ino complained, Jiraiya perked up at the opening.

"You know…I like to look at girls in the face" Jiraiya stated flirtatiously, Ino's eyebrow twitched in annoyance and growled at him.

"Perv…" Ino snarled, Jiraiya just chuckled.

"A talented perv" Jiraiya claimed, Ino rolled her eyes.

"Well, you seem to have step five all sorted Naruto" Sakura said as he ticked something off her checklist and smirked at the next one on her list, "Oh ho ho ho, this will be good" Sakura chuckled.

Naruto has faced many enemies in his time, he was brave and fearless when it came to it, but the way the trio looked at him scared the living shit out of him.

…

Preparation complete! Moving onto stage two! The act of a suitor!

"I'm not bringing a radio with Marvin Gaye singing 'Let's get it on'" Naruto stated, Ino groaned and placed a hand on her forehead.

"Then how the hell do expect to set a romantic mood?!"

"I don't want to!" Naruto exclaimed back, the trio had been throwing suggestions around about how Naruto could make the scene between him and Sasuke more romantic. Naruto had rejected every single one, refusing to accept that it was a date.

"Geez, you have to do something!" Ino groaned.

"Like what?! I'm don't have to do what you say!" Naruto yelled back.

"You do or otherwise I'll tell Tsunade that it was you who put the red hot piece of coal in her seat" Sakura threatened, Naruto shuddered in fear of his recent prank that he played upon the Hokage.

OK, so maybe he should do as they asked…but he couldn't just act like prince charming on their date! Naruto shook his head, It's not a date…Naruto scolded himself.

"Fine" Naruto grumbled, a sigh of relief going through the trio, "But nothing crazy!" Naruto demanded, Ino made a flippant gesture and placed her hand on her chin.

"Flowers?"

"He's not a girl" Naruto responded.

"Flowers aren't just for girls you sexist!" Ino corrected, "Flowers are for times of love, for times of passion, for times of romance; they're an expression to show affection, adoration and intimacy" Ino enlightened, Naruto looked unimpressed at the blonde girl.

"Like I said, he's not a girl" Naruto replied, Ino gave him an irritated look before speaking again.

"You're going to at least give him one flower" Ino instructed, but Naruto scoffed in response.

"No, I'm not"

"I wasn't asking you" Ino spoke, "I'm telling you, you're going to bring him a rose-"

"A rose? Seriously?" Naruto asked plainly, Ino gave him an annoyed look.

"Yes! A rose! It's romantic" Ino pointed out, Naruto rolled his eyes and decided to just let her talk, thinking it would be easier. "Now remember, on this date you'll have to act and do certain things to impress Sasuke" Ino stated, Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean? Shouldn't I just act like I always do with him?" Naruto asked, the trio gave him a look that made him feel stupid.

"I hardly think calling him a cold bastard and punching him is how you should act" Sakura responded plainly, Naruto pouted slightly, Well, I wasn't going to act like that…Naruto thought to himself.

"And how should I act?" Naruto questioned, folding his arms.

"Well, for one, no insulting him" Sakura stated, "No punching, no kicking, no hitting" Sakura ordered as if she was a teacher scolding children.

"Try and compliment him, say he looks nice, tell him he's funny, make it seem like there's nowhere you'd rather be" Ino advised, Naruto laughed.

"Yeah right! Hahahaha! Imagine me acting like that with Sasuke? Hahaha!" Naruto guffawed, holding his sides. Ino and Sakura didn't appreciate the laughter and gave him a disapproving glare, Jiraiya stepped forward to make sure Naruto didn't die of laughter or the girls.

"We're serious, in fact, we're expecting you to act like that" Jiraiya informed Naruto as his laughter dies out, Naruto stood straight and with the unsure smile on his face.

"Neh, Ero-sensei, I'm not really going to say all that stuff to Sasuke, right?" Naruto asked with a happy sort of nervous tone of voice, Jiraiya chuckled and smirked.

"I'm afraid so" Jiraiya answered, Naruto sighed and drooped over like a dying flower, Jiraiya chuckled and stepped closer to Naruto, "You don't have to go down on one knee and propose, you just have to be charming" Jiraiya reassured with a smile, Naruto looked up at Jiraiya and stood straight.

"Okay…but, um, how exactly?" Naruto asked.

"Listen"

"I am"

"No, listen" Jiraiya repeated, Naruto cocked his head to the side and gave a puzzled look.

"What?"

"Listen to Sasuke, really listen, because even though you've known him since the beginning you may learn something new" Jiraiya claimed, Naruto nodded, finally getting some advice he actually liked.

"What else?"

"Be a gentleman, whether or not you think Sasuke is a 'girl', being pleasant is a good thing; so hold the door open for him, pull his seat out for him, give him your jacket when he's cold, just do the simple things and you'll be fine" Jiraiya proclaimed, Naruto nodded in understandingly. The girls hopped over in interest and spoke up.

"And all that body flirting we taught you" Ino piped up.

"And take the correct items" Sakura chirped, Naruto raised an eyebrow at Sakura's statement and enquired.

"What do mean 'correct items'?" Naruto asked, Sakura placed her hand on her hip and spoke.

"I mean you'll need certain things to make sure the date doesn't crash and burn" Sakura explained, Naruto tilted his head.

"Like what?"

"Well, for starters you'll need some breath mints" Sakura pointed out.

"What? My breath doesn't-"

"Just in case you have food like garlic or something, you can't kiss with that kind of breath" Sakura informed, Naruto rolled his eyes but let her continue, "You'll also need to bring cash, just in case Sasuke sees something he likes and you'll need to buy it for him since that's what boyfriends are meant to do" Sakura stated as if it was the most obvious thing.

"Right…okay…" Naruto responded, thinking Sakura was getting carried away again.

"And I know Sasuke is pretty classy, but just in case…" Sakura prepared, "Bring a condom"

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto snapped flustered.

"Yes yes, I know Sasuke wouldn't bend after the first date, but just in case he's secretly got low-standards you need to be prepared" Sakura explained.

"Sakura-chan…" Naruto growled.

"I suppose you wouldn't even need one since neither of you have diseases and Sasuke won't get pregnant so I guess its fine" Ino shrugged, Sakura nodded her head in agreement.

"Moving on, what are your plans?"

"Plans?"

"Yeah, like where are you taking him?" Sakura clarified.

"Festival in Gecia, why?" Naruto asked, he was suddenly caught off guard when the girls started to jump and squeal, "Whoa, calm it, what's gotten into you two?" Naruto asked.

"You're taking Sasuke to the festival of Kasai!" Sakura squealed, "It's the most romantic festival of the year!" Sakura giggled, Naruto blinked, Wait, what?...Naruto thought.

"Um, Kasai means fire" Naruto stated a little confused, Ino grinned and jumped up and down.

"Uh-huh, it symbolises the fire of passion in love! Good job Naruto!" Ino congratulated, Naruto's eyes widened, Oh shit…Naruto gulped.

"Whoa whoa whoa, I have to cancel then!" Naruto stated.

"What?!" The trio exclaimed in unison.

"I have to! What if Sasuke thinks that this is a date?" Naruto questioned.

"It is!"

"It's not, and even if it was, you don't take someone to a love festival as a first date, it's creepy and way too fast" Naruto shook his head, "I'll go and find Sasuke right now and cancel" Naruto stated, the trio attempted to stop him, but he escaped and went towards the Hokage's mansion; since Tsunade had gone out on business and entrusted Sasuke to sort out a few papers for her.

Translation. She went out drinking and left her overdue work to Sasuke.

Naruto sighed as he approached the Hokage's office, he placed his hand on the door and took in a deep breath. Feeling a little bad for blowing Sasuke off, but he couldn't risk Sasuke thinking that Naruto was coming onto him. He opened the door and stepped in, he saw Sasuke facing away from him at the Hokage's desk, picking up a checkboard.

Sasuke turned around at the quiet intrusion, his eyes widened when he saw Naruto standing there.

"Naruto?" Sasuke voiced surprised, well he would be! After all, this was the first time they saw each other since Naruto had asked him to the festival. Sasuke blinked before giving him a small smile, "I see you're out" Sasuke greeted, holding the checkboard to his chest while his other hand slipped a lock of ebony hair back.

"Heh, yeah" Naruto replied as he shut the door behind him, he walked over next to Sasuke and attempted to look casual and leaned against the desk. He gave a nervous smile and rubbed the back of his head, "Um, Sas, about this Saturday…" Naruto started.

"Right, the festival" Sasuke stated, staring up at Naruto completely oblivious since he had never been rejected or blown off in any form.

God, Naruto felt like a dick.

"Yeah, well maybe we shouldn't meet" Naruto replied, Sasuke blinked and had a small expression of confusion and a little disappointment. Sasuke seemed to let it sink in before his eyes flashed hurt before trying to cover it up, he looked a little humiliated to the side; taking interest in the floor.

Naruto couldn't take it.

"B-Because we were going too meet at six! And, er, we should meet up at eight instead!" Naruto rushed out worriedly, not being able to stand Sasuke being upset because of him. Sasuke looked back up at Naruto and blinked.

"Oh" Sasuke responded a little surprised before chuckled slightly, "You know, for a moment there I thought you were blowing me off" Sasuke confessed with a smirk.

"Aw whaaat? No way, I'm not…not a douche" Naruto replied reluctantly, while his inner Naruto was taunting him with chicken noises.

"Good" Sasuke spoke, interrupting Naruto's self-taunting, Naruto looked at Sasuke's playful smirk "Because I was looking forward to it" Sasuke stated before walking pass Naruto and filing away some papers.

Naruto blinked, Wait, he's looking forward to it? Does he mean me or the festival? Wait, he said good! Good that we're going to the festival or good that I didn't ditch him?...Naruto internally struggled and sighed, not liking the complicated thoughts.

"Naruto?" Sasuke voiced, Naruto came out of his thoughts and turned around to face Sasuke who was across the room.

"Y-Yeah?"

"I was just wondering, is that all you came to tell me?" Sasuke asked, Naruto blinked and gave a nod.

"Er, yeah, ha ha, I can take a hint" Naruto joked, rubbing the back of his head. Sasuke rolled his eyes with a smirk.

"That's not what I meant, dobe" Sasuke chuckled and walked over to him, "I just meant that you're awful nervous for someone who just wanted to change times" Sasuke pointed out, he tilted his head slightly and gave a cute smile to Naruto, "So why so tense?" Sasuke asked casually, standing a little close to Naruto.

Naruto blinked and looked down at Sasuke. Sasuke was acting a little nicer to Naruto than usual, Naruto was a little confused by this and thought, Why is Sasuke acting all kind and gentle? Even when he called me dobe it sounded strange…then again, why is he looking at me like that? It's almost as if he's-Naruto's eyes widened slightly and thought…

Is he flirting with me?...Naruto wondered as Sasuke looked suspiciously like he was batting his eyes at Naruto, Sasuke slipped a bang of his hair behind his ear. Sasuke was acting a bit amorous towards him, but maybe that was Naruto's imagination.

Right?

"You want some nuts?" Sasuke asked casually.

"W-What?!" Naruto exclaimed flustered, Sasuke just gave him a strange look and gestured the bowl of nuts on the desk.

"Tsunade left some here just in case I got hungry or something" Sasuke explained, Naruto calmed himself down as Sasuke sat on top of the desk and popped a almond into his mouth. Naruto sat on the desk and did the same, getting a peanut and munching away. "You know, on my way over here I heard something pretty interesting" Sasuke spoke.

"Really?"

"Yeah, seriously, the things people think up" Sasuke shook his head.

"Like what?"

"Well, they were playing 'would you rather?', one of them were would you rather get dumped in front of all your friends or over a pre-recorded message?" Sasuke explained as he popped another nut into his mouth.

"That's a pretty good question…er…pre-recorded message" Naruto replied, Sasuke looked strangely at him.

"Really?"

"Yeah, imagine the embarrassment of being dumped in front of all your friends"

"Who cares? It's between you and the person who just broke up with you and besides, aren't friends supposed to do that comfort thing or whatever?" Sasuke enquired, Naruto scoffed in response.

"Riiight, well as comforting as you would be and I'm pretty sure that Ino and Sai would say something like 'She was out of your league' and Shikamaru would probably fall asleep, not to mention that Kiba would go and try his chances with her annnnd Lee would just try and get me drunk to forget, so yeah" Naruto answered, Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Alright alright, your life is so hard" Sasuke remarked playfully, "A pre-recorded message is cold, even for me though" Sasuke stated, Naruto shrugged in response.

"At least you avoid a fight with them" Naruto defended, "Okay, let me think of one…" Naruto requested and thought, "Er…okay, would you rather be a porn star or a prostitute?" Naruto asked, Sasuke made an unsure face and tilted his head.

"Hm…" Sasuke hummed, Sasuke bit his lip and thought, "Not trying to sound arrogant" Sasuke started, "But I think I would make a lot of money as a prostitute" Sasuke claimed, Naruto burst out into loud laughter and held his sides.

"Bwahahaha!"

"What?" Sasuke laughed a little quieter, Naruto continued to laugh and shook his head.

"Just the way you said it! Hahaha! It's like you have actually considered it! Hahaha!" Naruto guffawed.

"To be fair, I could make my own rules and it's more private" Sasuke explained, Naruto laughed.

"That's brilliant! Haha!" Naruto calmed down and took in a deep breath, "But I'd rather be a porn star, because at least I'll be doing it with clean people who are also hot"

"I don't really care for looks, and I could just use a condom and besides, I could be one of those high-end prostitutes, the ones that sleep with celebrities and important people" Sasuke pointed out.

"Fair enough" Naruto agreed, they spent the next 20 minutes playing the game and even though for each one they had different answers…it somehow made them closer. Naruto was enjoying the fact that he was able to just have some simple fun with Sasuke without any weird air or awkward tension.

It…was nice.

"Hahaha! Okay okay, here's one" Naruto laughed, "This is a personal one and more of a 'would you do it?" Naruto explained, "But would you, if it was the only way, sleep with one of the sensei's to make sure you wouldn't be permanently sent back to the academy?" Naruto questioned.

"Hm…wait, which sensei?" Sasuke enquired, Naruto looked up and thought.

"Er…I'll choose someone who it wouldn't be so bad, but you wouldn't normally think about them like that…" Naruto stated, he smirked and looked mischievously towards Sasuke, "Kakashi"

"Kakashi?!" Sasuke exclaimed before laughing.

"Yeah" Naruto chuckled.

"Um…" Sasuke voiced with a smile, bemused with the question and biting his lip, "…yeah…maybe" Sasuke answered in an unsure voice.

"Really?"

"Well, what about you?"

"100%, all the way, no doubt" Naruto answered, Sasuke laughed.

"You would?"

"Oh yeah! I mean I am not going back to the academy, at least not forever" Naruto explained "I would sleep with Gai if I had to" Naruto proclaimed, they laughed together but were interrupted when a random ninja knocked on the door and poked their head in.

"Uchiha-san, Tsunade will be returning in the next ten minutes so she hopes you'll have everything in order" The ninja spoke.

"Oh right, I'll make sure" Sasuke promised, the ninja nodded and closed the door, leaving the two. Sasuke gave a small content sigh and hopped off the desk, "Well dobe this was fun, but I have other priorities" Sasuke stated, Naruto frowned slightly as he didn't want the fun to end.

"Oh well, can I help?"

"No, it's alright, I'm a big boy I can do it myself" Sasuke replied playfully, Naruto chuckled and slide off the desk.

"Got it" Naruto chuckled, he gave a reserved grin while Sasuke returned it with a shy smile, "Well…see ya"

"See ya" Sasuke replied slightly dreamily, Naruto was beaming to himself as he left the office. Sasuke having a pleased smile as he gave a dreamy sigh and began to hum happily as he worked. Sasuke had been in a pretty good mood in the last two days, he didn't really know why.

Though it was obviously because he was looking forward to Saturday with Naruto.

Jenny and Katsu had been teasing him about it. Yes Jenny, it turns out that her and Katsu were friends and when she heard that her friend Katsu was having family problems in Konoha, she came over and found out it was about Sasuke. She had stayed with them at Sasuke's place since it was big enough.

"I saw all of that" A voice said, Sasuke jumped and turned around to see Jenny at the side door, How long had she been there?...

"When?..."

"You don't need to know" Jenny answered before walking over with a smirk, "Well, that was a fun flirting show between you two" She snickered, Sasuke rolled his eyes in response.

"Very funny"

"I'm serious, in fact I nearly wrote an erotic book based off of it" Jenny remarked sarcastically, Sasuke chuckled. It was strange that in such a short time he had become so comfortable with her, but he supposed that was because she was a sarcastic and intelligent girl.

"There was no flirting"

"You were acting like a cougar on a young guy" Jenny commented.

"I was not" Sasuke refused, Jenny made an exaggerated pose.

"Oh Naruto! You're so tense! Why don't you tell me all about it?" Jenny sang out in a breathy voice, mocking Sasuke who just smirked and rolled his eyes, "Oh Naruto! Take me right here, right now because we're in a bad fanfiction!"

"Shut up!" Sasuke laughed, because when she made fun of them, it somehow was more funny than annoying.

"Anyway" Jenny spoke with her normal voice, "What was that whole 'Let's go at eight!' thing about?" Jenny asked as she leaned against the desk, Sasuke shrugged and sighed.

"I have no idea, I think he was going to cancel on me, but chickened out" Sasuke said as he leaned against the desk.

"Yeah, sorry about that" Jenny comforted, but Sasuke shrugged.

"It's fine, I just don't really know what it actually is that he was going to cancel on" Sasuke sighed, holding the clipboard to his chest.

"What do you mean?" Jenny enquired, folding her arms.

"Well, I'll admit, because I'm not an idiot nor am I going to be stuffing down the obvious, that I'm not sure if this is a date" Sasuke confessed, "I mean, we're going alone, at night and we're going to a festival of love; what am I supposed to think?" Sasuke said a little frustrated.

"If it makes you uncomfortable why don't you cancel or just say no when he asked?"

"I dunno…" Sasuke mumbled, it was silent until Jenny squinted her eyes.

"Is this because he saved your life?"

"What?! N-No!" Sasuke stuttered, but Jenny wasn't convinced.

"You are, aren't you?" Jenny accused, Sasuke blushed slightly and looked off to the side, Jenny shook her head, "Don't you think that your judgement is a little clouded? The fact that you was in a exposed state when he asked you?"

"I know, I know" Sasuke sighed, this was another reason he liked Jenny, she wasn't like 'Everything is a fairy tale and you belong with Naruto no matter what!' she was realistic and though she thought they would be good together, she still reminded Sasuke to be mindful.

"The best thing to do is ask, no games, games are for children" Jenny advised.

"Fair enough"

"Besides…" Jenny started, "Do you even like him like that?"

"I don't think so" Sasuke answered, shifting slightly, "I mean…I've been thinking about it and, well, I suppose after everything I guess something could happen, but I doubt it…"

"Do you want something to happen?"

"If it were to happen, I suppose it could be fun…I mean…" Sasuke trailed off to find the right words, "We're different, but the same…we complement each other since we're opposites"

"Meaning?..."

"We would be good together, but it might not last" Sasuke clarified, "But this is only an assumption" Sasuke added, Jenny nodded.

"That's why you're going on this date" Jenny pointed out.

"I don't really know if it's a date though" Sasuke responded.

"Irrelevant" Jenny stated, grabbing Sasuke's attention, "The purpose of a date is to assess whether or not you are compatible with a person, while Naruto doesn't have to do this you can and then figure out if you want to be with him" Jenny explained, Sasuke nodded slowly and thought.

"I guess you're right"

"That is why I said it" Jenny remarked sarcastically, Sasuke rolled his eyes and sighed.

"I wonder how it's going to go…" Sasuke mumbled to himself, because while he could think it was a date…

What would Naruto think?...

Yeah, I'm going to end the chapter here students, so the next chapter will be the date and trust me

IT WILL BE GOOD.

Anyway, I hate to be that person students, but I'd like some reviews! I haven't got any in a while and it really slowed me down, so if it's not too much please review! It makes me write faster, even if it's negative! Moshi Mosh!.
