A/N: Soooo late update. Turns out I did need a shot and my arm just stop hurting. Well... not really when someone bumps it I only wither in pain for 5 minutes instead of an hour sooooo. progress.
It was another hot and sweaty day as they return to there voyage to Sunagakure. They were expected to arrive there tomorrow morning if they didn't stop this night but only took small breaks ever now and again to sleep. This upset Sasuke and Naruto both. they knew they wouldn't have enough time to see each other in person. But at least they would still be able to talk to each other through their minds.
They had gotten a lot closer since last night. You could even see it in their posture, the way they walked, the way they carried themselves and the way they talked especially to each other. Everything was much more loose. more relaxed they could lose themselves in each other. Not worrying about daily things. Just concern about what the other was saying or thinking.
What the other wanted how they could make each other even more happy. But that's just it they couldn't get any happier. Well they did get slightly more happy when they remembered the little trip they would be taking together once they reached their destination. Sasuke was especially looking forward to there bet. If Naruto's old friend was at there hid out Naruto would give him a kiss if he wasn't then Sasuke would give him a kiss.
Win Win for everyone. Sasuke was snapped out his thoughts by the sound of Naruto's voice in his head. 'Remember when you told me that you loved me last night.' Naruto ask not sure Sasuke remembered that seeing as he was so sleepy at the time. Sasuke blushed that was the first time either of them had brought up the kiss since it happen. 'Yes I remember.' Sasuke said knowing that Naruto could just feel the blush throw his projected thought.
Sasuke felt his mood shift from happy to giddy. 'Just wanted to let you know I was being completely honest.' Naruto said. He enjoyed the feel of knowing Sasuke was blushing at his words right now. Getting any reaction of that sort from him pleased Naruto. He knew Sasuke could feel his happiness as well. Only his mate could hear his thoughts and feel his emotion just has well as Naruto could feel and read other peoples.
No one could read or feel the Kitsune's emotions and thoughts because he was above them in so many levels and that's not him being narcissistic or anything it was really the reason why. Even the other Tailed beast could read or feel him because he was the Alpha of there little pack and was above them as well. Only his mate could be on the same level as him or even slightly above to be his dominate (A/N: Not BDSM Perverts get your mind out that gutter come back to this one.).
Sasuke was blushing furiously as he was staring into space trying to restart his brain back into it's normal function when Kiba nudged his arm with a wicked all knowing grin. "Thinking of someone special? Anyone I know or someone from back home? Maybe or old squad? Come one spill! Tell me everything." He tested knocking against Sasuke's side harder nearly pushing him off his horse.
"Sasuke's blush immediately went away replaced with an indifferent scowl though he couldn't hide the small trace off red as he thoughts went back to Naruto again at Kiba's words. Kiba as perspective as ever noticed. "That was just confirmation! Now you have to tell me!" He shouted playfully like an 11 year old boy who just started to see sex appeal in others.
"Who's the lucky lady!" Kiba said. Sasuke snorted before saying "None of your business. Besides I don't swing that way.". Kiba looked shocked before his eyes narrowed in suspicion "It's not me is it." He asked but his face dropped when Sasuke burst into wild laughter unlike any he had ever seen him have. He nearly fell off his horse laughing as tears ran down his face.
Kiba pouted at the sight. "Hey I happen to think that I'm a very fit candidate of unrequited love." Kiba said puffing up his chest in pride of his looks and 'charm'. Which only made Sasuke laugh harder and this time he did fall off his horse.
After that little incident Sasuke had keyed Naruto in on what happen. He produced his fair share of laughs. He had to use one of his tails so he could muffle his laughs. After that they discussed more about Naruto's old life and how Sasuke had been living and practicing his skills since Naruto left that night. Itachi who is an ex soldier after doing time in the war trained him.
It was terrible, horrible, and cruel training of the likes that made Sasuke shudder at the thought not able to go into details. The feel of how intense Sasuke's fearful emotions increased to maximum made Naruto not push for details scared to know about it himself. They deterred from that topic after that going more into how Sasuke's family is living at the present. They were still happier then ever on there little farm.
Even more so when Sasuke told them he was finally leaving to pursue Naruto (Cue Naruto's red tinted face) Though they were sad to see him go they were happy to know what the future held for him. And the Success he would have in life and the honor he would bring to there little family. Sasuke had promised them a nice home in the city once he made it big saying he would take care of his family and make them people no one would look down on.
They had rejected this offer saying they loved there simple farm life and how they contributed to this country and the allies food basket. Sasuke was proud to hear that come out his their mouths. His family would always be number one in his book and in Naruto's too. Who was also proud to here that. He was quite happy to know that Naruto liked his family so much not having to worry about tension between them.
Sasuke and Naruto were snapped out there conversation by the sound of the horn signaling a break. they would pick up there conversation after a much needed nap.
