A/N:Feeling very creative lately
They all watched amazed as the Kitsunes carriage came to a rest at the front of the field by the entrance of the castle. The surrounding area was quite as they waited for an explanation for this more than honorable visit. Sasuke could feel a nervous sweat start to form when he saw the carriage. He was torn between wanting to see the most important in his life and wanting them to just turn away and go back inside the castle.
Sasuke had planned to aventually see Naruto but he wanted to see him when he was more worthy. When he had finished his training and was chosen to be the Northern Priests strongest and leader of the Priests. Not when he was still a new recruit and in the middle of training.
He wasn't ready yet! No matter how much he wanted to run and tear away that curtain and give Naruto the embrace he had always wanted to give and hoped Naruto wanted to receive.
He was torn out his thoughts by a slender hand sticking out of the curtain and motioning for one of the hand maidens to come close. She pressed her head against the curtain as if listening. Sasuke felt a spark of jelousy at that. He always liked the thought of being the only one Naruto would talk to. Other than his family of course. The fact he was talking to her means he could have change his mind about Sasuke being the only one worth his time enough to talk to.
And if that was the case there was no telling what else he had changed his mind about. Sasuke really needed to stop debating all of this. It was starting to lower his self confidence.
The handmaiden drew back from the carriage standing tall before addressing the people. "The Great Kitsune wishes to watch the recruits in work. You should consider this an honor. Continue your training." She announced loudly. We all hesitated until the general finally snapped out of it. "You heard her! Get back to work! Anyone who stops will be sent home immediately!" His words were enough to get everyone back to work.
It was very obvious to see every ones effort had been doubled. Including Sasuke and Kiba. They were all looking to impress the Kitsune. There was no telling the rewards from that. It could also get them a chance at being a Priests in the future. Sasuke on the other hand was just putting more effort to not look like he was slacking... and maybe to catch Naruto's eyes.
Which happen to be on him anyway. Naruto was laying stomach down on his tails grooming them absent mindedly as he watched Sasuke with a hazed look. He had grown up quite nicely. Virtually nothing could take Naruto's eyes away from his sweaty and toned form as he went up and down, up and down, up and down. Naruto was briefly snapped out of it as he wiped away the drool collecting at his mouth.
Naruto's court watched amazed at his actions. They couldn't quite pin point what he was looking at, but it must have been quite something to have his attention this much. Kurenai walked over the carriage again when Naruto gestured at her. "I will be coming to view the training for this group from now on and I would like to be alerted if anyone from this group should be promoted." He said.
Kurenai nodded with a wide shocked look. She told the message to the rest of the court and another guard so he could let the general and the king know. They gave equally amazed looks. They had not ever seen the Kitsune take such an interest in anything. It was unheard of. Someone in this group had caught the Kitsune's attention and it was there job to find out.
It had been about three weeks and the Kitsune had been to the training grounds everyday. It had become a regular thing now. Though still amazed the recruits had become used to his presences. It would be strange if he wasn't there. The general liked it quite a bit when the Kitsune visited. It motivated his men also it had gotten his sector a lot of attention.
Everyone had been following his lead in training and other soldiers from different sectors had requesting a transfer to his group. They all wanted a piece of whatever had caught the Kitsunes attention so thoroughly.
And to tell the truth they still were trying to figure exactly what it was. They tried asking him hoping he would tell Kurenai, but all he would ever do was simle widely and stare off into space as if thinking of exactly what they had asked about. The Kitsune also had not talked much ethier not even to Kurenai who was the only one he ever talked to if he had to. It had gotten to the point they thought he had began his silent act again.
The last thing he had said was a question. He wanted to know where the recruit quarters were. They had given him the answer and asked why he wanted to know, but again he just gave a secretive smile. They had posted guards around the quarts. Which they had just recently took down seeing as there was no unusual activity.
They had not known that was exactly what Naruto was waiting for. Now that most of the excitement had gone down. Naruto could easily seek to Sasuke's room which he would be sharing with 11 other guys. His was the bottom bunk by the window thankfully. Naruto was climbing down the side of the castle. Stabbing his claws into the stone wall and climbing down head first.
He reached the room in little time. Only slowing down once to avoid guards. Upon arrival he tapped on the glass with a sharp claw hopping to get Sasuke's attention. He didn't have to wait long seeing Sasuke was already up and laying on his bed.
He saw the hand tapping on the window ad went over to it. He knew it could be only one person. He stuck his head out looking down for him. "Naruto?" He whispered not seeing him. He felt a tap om his head "Up here." He looked up to see a fanged smile looking back down. "Can I come in?" He said. Sasuke smile before nodding and moving out the way so he could get in.
Naruto climbed in and placed his feet on the ground so softly Sasuke couldn't hear it even if he strained his ears. He rushed at Sasuke to hug him. Sasuke returned the hug with a large smile. "It's so good to see you." Sasuke said. Naruto hummed in agreement. They pulled away slightly to look at each other.
They went to sit at Sasuke's bed and talked about everything that had happen in the past ten years they had not seen each other. About mid way into the conversation Sasuke had brought up Naruto time spent watching the recruits. "I wanted to see you, but I knew I couldn't just walk up to you." Naruto explained.
Sasuke gave a confused look. "How did you know I didn't want people to know we knew each other?" He asked. "Remember how I fixed your farm? Well there's more to that power I can also always determine what someone desires and why." Naruto explained. nodded in understanding. "Okay my turn to asks question. Why did you decide to become a soldier?" Naruto ask.
Sasuke smiled "I wanted to become a priests. (Naruto's eyes widened) So that I could be sure to always be with you and be able to protect you. So I would be worthy of being with you." Sasuke said with a smile. Naruto looked shocked. "Sasuke I..." before Naruto could finish they both heard a groan coming form the bunk above them.
Kiba stuck his head below to Sasuke's bunk "Who are you talking to?" He ask eyes barley open. Sasuke looked up to see Naruto's retreating tail leaving up from the window. "Nobody, just go back to sleep." Sasuke said and Kiba did just that. Sasuke also laid down. Dreaming of the days to come.
