What Dreams May Come.

Warning Yaoi(boy x boy relationships) don’t read if you don’t like.



AN: Just a note to all my readers, don’t worry. I won’t have the two of them jumping in bed so soon. So little faith you have in me. I promise that when they do get in bed they both will be ready for it. Also skimmed my previous chapters but I didn’t in depth read them(been a long week) and I didn’t see any mention of the Uchiha fans in relation to reincarnated Sasuke. Please let me know so I can take it out. In this story, the fans are not known to reborn Sasuke. Now if I mentioned them in flash backs don’t worry about them obviously. Thanks to everyone that commented on such things cuz that’s why I like reviews so ppl can tell me where things are off or ask me questions that cause any confusion. I am sorry for those that want a lemon but neither Naruto (I’m sure he would deny it) nor Sasuke are ready for that in their relationship. Don’t worry there will be an awesome lemon later on when I feel they are ready. Phew, long AN but a lot of things needed addressing and I know you guys would be more likely to read this AN than my comments to each reviewer at the end. Also, don’t forget that this story does have a lot of flashbacks and this chapter is no different though I must say I enjoyed writing this particular one. Thank you and enjoy this chapter.



What Dreams May Come



Chapter Eleven



Naruto trailed after Sasuke towards the kitchen. There was still a throbbing in his chest that wouldn’t ease up. Sasuke was here in the home they had shared. Naruto wanted to fall to his knees before Sasuke and tell him how much he missed him. There were so many things he wanted to say and yet he couldn’t form the words to say them. He wanted to lie beside his beloved and be held in his arms. He wanted to hear the words ‘I love you’ come from those pink lips. There was so much that he was greedy for that his soul felt like it was being starved.



“What needs to be done?” asked Sasuke. Naruto blinked a few times almost as if he hadn’t understood the question.



“Huh?” asked Naruto, trying to comprehend what was being asked.



“What the hell, do you have a permanent residence in dobe land? Seriously, it’s getting old constantly repeating myself.” scowled Sasuke.



“Bastard.” grumbled Naruto under his breath.



“What was that?”



“I said I was going to cook those fish I caught to go with some rice and miso soup. My stores are somewhat low. I haven’t been here in over a year.” answered Naruto.



“That’s fine. I don’t know how to prepare fish but I can get started on the rice and soup.” said Sasuke.



“You don’t have to help. You are my guest after all.”



“Uninvited guest.”



“A technicality, you are always welcome in this place.”



“Why?” asked Sasuke.



“Why what?” asked Naruto, slightly confused as the question.



“Why am I always welcome here?” asked Sasuke.



“You remind me of someone.” answered Naruto.



“Who?” asked Sasuke.



“It doesn’t matter.” answered Naruto, effectively ending the conversation.



It somewhat annoyed Sasuke that he reminded Naruto of someone. He didn’t like the thought that he was a replacement for someone else. He still couldn’t understand why he was so drawn to the blonde. Being in this place didn’t help him sort things out either. He was beginning to worry that agreeing to come was a mistake. He wasn’t a fucking replacement for someone. However annoyed that he might be, Sasuke wanted to know who he reminded Naruto of and why. He made it his mission to find out but for now he would let the topic drop.



Sasuke turned and began preparing the rice and soup while Naruto took the fish outside to clean. Both worked in silence. Naruto was silent because he didn’t know what to say and Sasuke was silent as he attempted to digest all the information that was running through his mind. When the two sat down to eat, the meal was completed with no chit chat or conversation.



With the meal finished, both stood to take care of dishes. Reaching for a dish, their hands brushed and Sasuke felt a shiver work its way down his spine. Sapphire blue eyes watched his every motion. Sasuke jerked back his hand as if it was burned. Some of the light in Naruto’s eyes dimmed and turned and stacked the dishes in the sink.



“I’m going out for a few minutes. There is hot water so you can take a bath before bed.” said Naruto.



Without saying another word, Naruto left the house and walked towards Hokage Mountain. The weathered faces of the Hokages gazed over the ruins of Konoha in eternal silence. Once again, Naruto found himself seated on the head of the fourth Hokage, his head resting on his drawn up knees. The man had sacrificed everything to save the village from destruction. He was his idol. He was his role model. He was his…father. What he wouldn’t give for the presence of the man now. Throughout his life, he always imagined what sort of advice the man would give him. In this moment, he truly felt the loss of the man that had he lived would have shaped his life as only a father could.



Forced for so long to make his way on his own, Naruto had always been the sort to force recognition from people. With a loud voice and upbeat personality, Naruto had won the recognition from his village. Yet now, he found himself afraid to be who he truly was. For so long, he had lived in hopelessness and despair. Loneliness was his only companion. Now given a second chance, he was unsure. It wasn’t the same situation as before. Things were different and that made Naruto nervous. Smiling, Naruto thought back on the beginning of his relationship with Sasuke.



Naruto snickered to himself as crept through Sasuke’s open window. The nights were mild and open windows were not uncommon. It wasn’t as if any burglar was stupid enough to try and rob the house of a shinobi and if that wasn’t enough to keep robbers away, the knowledge that Sasuke was trained by Orochimaru was. Naruto crept towards the bed where Sasuke slept undisturbed.



Sasuke was sprawled on his back, one arm thrown over his eyes, the other laying limply at his side. He was sleeping so deeply that Naruto nearly burst into laughter as he began to put his plan into action. Creeping silently to the bathroom, Naruto poured out the shampoo and replaced it with molasses. The thickness was akin to that of the shampoo. This accomplished, Naruto crept back to Sasuke’s bedside. Taking a deep breath, Naruto prepared to wake up his friend.



“WAKE UP, SASUKE!” screamed Naruto at the top of his lungs.



Sasuke shot up in bed. An annoyed glance to his bedside told him just who had rudely awakened him. Taking a deep calming breath, Sasuke threw off the sheet and stood up to glare at the blonde. Part of his annoyance with the blonde was due to the fact that Naruto had managed to sneak into his bedside without waking him.



“What the fuck are you doing waking me up so early?” growled Sasuke.



“It’s your first day back as a Konoha shinobi. Baa-chan will probably have a nice mission waiting for you. I thought you might like an early start.” smiled Naruto.



Sasuke narrowed his eyes. There was a little too much sparkle in those blue eyes. Glancing around the apartment, Sasuke did a quick assessment to see if there was anything amiss. Everything appeared to be in order, but he couldn’t quite shake the feeling that Naruto was up to something.



Stepping carefully into the bathroom, Sasuke once again gave everything a once over. Nothing seemed out of place. There were no hidden traps or chakra wires. Everything was just as he left it. Grabbing a towel, Sasuke glared in Naruto’s general direction.



“Wait here, dobe. I’m going to take a quick shower.” growled Sasuke.



“Must not be a morning person.” Naruto commented to himself.



As soon as Naruto heard the shower running, he quickly exited through the window and to the rooftop. Silently he waited, becoming giddier and giddier by the second. Then he heard it.



“WHAT THE FUCK! NARUTO! YOU ASSHOLE, WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU PUT IN MY SHAMPOO.” screamed Sasuke.



Naruto collapsed on the roof, laughing so hard his sides were aching. The grand finale was mere moments away and Naruto could barely contain himself. Sasuke’s head poked out of the window, his face flushed with anger and his hair sticking up in sticky spikes. Grabbing the bag of feathers, Naruto emptied it onto Sasuke’s head. The white feathers stuck perfectly to the molasses saturated hair.



“Hahaha…now you really do have chicken butt hair.” laughed Naruto, finally collapsing in mirth.



It started small, a slight twitch under Sasuke’s eye. His knuckles turned white where he gripped the sill of the window. Blood rushed in his ears as he ducked his head back into the apartment. Grabbing his bag of kunai and shuriken, Sasuke calming jumped through the window and onto the rooftop Naruto was currently lying on, nearly immobile from laughter.



“You are a dead man, Uzumaki.” snarled Sasuke.



If Naruto hadn’t seen the look of pure malice, the sight would have been humorous. Sasuke stood there, practically quaking in anger, his hair spiked up with white feathers plastered to it. Naruto decided that it was now time to make a hasty retreat.



“Eat my dust, Sasuke.” bragged Naruto before taking off across the rooftops, Sasuke hot on his heels.



Naruto raced as fast as he could, ducking and dodging through alleys and fruit stands. One moves faster when one’s life is on the line. Dashing past Iruka-sensei, Naruto shouted an apology to the man that had been the only father figure in his life. Iruka shook his head.



“I wonder what Naruto has done know?” Iruka asked himself.



Sasuke flew past him in hot pursuit of Naruto, his feather plastered hair telling Iruka all he needed to know. Naruto was in for the ass beating of a lifetime once Sasuke caught up to him. Laughing, Iruka continued on his way to the academy to set up the classroom for another day’s lessons.



Naruto stopped at the training grounds, his lungs burned with the need for oxygen and his legs ached from having to push them so hard. It looked like he had lost Sasuke in the breakfast crowd of one of the food stands. Collapsing against a tree, Naruto attempted to catch his breath. It was so worth it. The look on Sasuke’s face was priceless. Naruto figured this was the perfect welcome back to the shinobi ranks present. It was something Sasuke was certain to not forget. Snickering some more, Naruto stretched out his legs and sprawled happily against the large oak.



A kunai embedded itself in the dirt inches away from his groin. Naruto cried out in surprise and rolled to his feet. Glancing around, he saw Sasuke jump from a nearby tree and land a few feet from him.



“WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR? YOU COULD HAVE CUT IT OFF!” screamed Naruto as he clutched his privates in a protective grip.



“Hn, if I had it would be no more than you deserve.” snorted Sasuke.



Naruto growled and charged, kunai drawn. Sasuke effectively parried the attack and countered with a kick. For the next few minutes, they flung themselves into the fight, neither giving an inch. Sasuke swept Naruto from his feet and the blonde crashed to the ground. Sasuke was on top of him immediately, kunai at his neck before he could even blink.



“Who’s on top now, dobe?” smirked Sasuke.



“Bastard!” shouted Naruto.



Both lay there, their breath coming in pants. Sasuke stared down into the flashing blue eyes and for a moment was lost in them. For so long he had tamped down all his emotions regarding the blonde. Bonds were a sign of weakness. They would only slow you down and yet…his bond with Naruto seemed to be something that he could never fully discard. Lowering his gaze slightly, Sasuke watched the parted lips as they gasped for breath. What would it be like to taste those lips? His own breath caught in his throat.



“Sasuke…”



‘Just one taste.’ Sasuke thought to himself. Just one taste then he would go back to attempting to ignore the loud boy. Just one taste to sustain him and he would pretend that his thoughts and dreams were not haunted by images that were better left unspoken. Sasuke knew he always watched the blonde when he knew no one else was watching. He knew he couldn’t allow anyone to know of his secret infatuation with Naruto.



Sasuke lowered his lips and pressed them lightly against Naruto’s parted ones. He tasted sweeter than anything Sasuke could have hoped for. His lips were soft and pliant. Sasuke noted Naruto’s lack of response and responded in turn. Deepening the kiss, Sasuke dipped his tongue in to the open cavern seeking a deeper taste. He nearly moaned at the more saturated taste of Naruto. This was what he had longed for.



‘Just a little longer. Give me this.’ chanted Sasuke in his mind.



Naruto felt the breath leave his body the moment Sasuke’s lips touched his own. For a moment he lay there in shock. His secret crush was kissing him. How was he supposed to react? When Sasuke’s tongue dipped between his lips to tease his own, Naruto released a low moan and surrendered himself to the lips and tongue of his friend. Bringing up his arms to encircle Sasuke’s neck, Naruto lost himself in the sensations that were spiraling through him. It was a heady experience for Naruto and he wanted it to never end.



When Sasuke finally pulled back to look into Naruto’s face, sapphire blue eyes looked dazedly up at him. A lazy grin began to spread across the blonde’s face. Naruto slowly licked his lips as if trying to savor the last traces of Sasuke. The sight sent a tendril of heat down to his loins, awakening darker desires.



“Well Sasuke, if I had known you liked me this much we could have been doing this a long time ago.” purred Naruto.



“Idiot.” muttered Sasuke.



Naruto couldn’t believe Sasuke was the one to make the first move. And with a head full of white feathers. Then again, Naruto couldn’t believe he had done that to the raven. He sat for a long time wondering about the events of that day. If he hadn’t pulled that prank on Sasuke, would the two of them ever have gotten together or would they have continued to secretly long for the other but never do anything about it?



Their relationship hadn’t been perfect but that one moment changed everything for them. They went from rivals to friends to lovers in the short span of thirty years. It wasn’t until he had lived ten lifetimes that he realized how short their time together really was.



‘And yet here you sit, reminiscing about the past when your future is sitting before you.’ commented Kyuubi.



“You tell me to be myself but I’ve lost who I was.” said Naruto.



‘Bullshit. You only think you have lost who you are because you allowed yourself to dwell in the past. In these last thousand years, you never once looked forward to the sunrise or the sound of nature around you. You barricaded yourself in a prison composed of your own tears and sorrow. Now, someone offers you the key to your freedom, do you remain in that prison out of fear or do you take the gift that is offered to you?’ said Kyuubi.



Naruto sat a long time thinking about what the fox said. It was a lot to grasp. The past wanted to be remembered and the future wanted to be created. So much weighed on his conscience. Was he as Kyuubi said, afraid to leave the self created prison? Falling back with a thud, Naruto blew out his breath and stared at the sky. The colors of purple and pink were bleeding across the sky in a burst of gentle color. The setting sun provided a gentle glow on the horizon.



“What am I to do?” questioned Naruto. This time, Kyuubi remained silent. Naruto was the only person that could answer that question.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Sasuke watched the blonde exit the kitchen. The hurt in his eyes tore at Sasuke’s insides. Sasuke wanted to call out to Naruto and tell him not to go. He opened his mouth but no sound would exit his throat. Sighing, Sasuke pulled out a chair and sat staring at the door through which he had exited.



“Idiot.” Sasuke growled. This time he was uncertain if he was referring to the blonde or to himself.



Washing and putting up the rest of the dishes, Sasuke strode from the kitchen. Stopping by a linen closet to grab a towel, he made his way to the bathroom. His hand froze on the handle. How did he know this was the bathroom? How did he know where the towels were stored? What the fuck?



Shaking his head at the utter nonsense in his thoughts, Sasuke began adjust the water for his shower. There was a logical explanation for everything. Sasuke stepped in the shower and began to wash off. Though he told himself there was a logical explanation, he couldn’t help but feel a little tingle of doubt.



“Stop thinking about it and let it go.” he told himself as he rinsed the last soap from his body and stepped from the shower.



Grabbing the towel, Sasuke dried off and wrapped it securely around his waist. Stepping before the mirror, Sasuke felt his breath leave him. The man in the mirror wasn’t him. It looked like him but there was a hint of darkness and sorrow that stained his eyes. Those were eyes that had seen far too much. Reaching up and wiping his eyes, Sasuke looked back into the mirror seeing only his normal reflection. Slumping against the sink, he rubbed his temples in an attempt to ease the beginnings of a migraine.



Without thinking, Sasuke grabbed the dark blue toothbrush and finished the rest of his bedtime rituals. Placing the toothbrush in the holder, Sasuke froze again. He had just used someone else’s toothbrush without thinking. Glancing back at the sink, he noticed that the other toothbrush was orange and obviously had been used before. The blue toothbrush was brand new and had never been used. He hadn’t even thought about it. Pulling on the pajama bottoms he had brought with him to the bath, Sasuke shook his head to clear it.



“What the fuck is going on?” he muttered to himself.



Walking into the bedroom, Sasuke pulled the mattress to the bed and made up the bed with linen sheets from the linen closet. Flopping down on the sheets, Sasuke lay quietly with only his thoughts to keep him company. He tossed and turned several times before cursing his luck. Nothing firm enough to hold onto meant there would be no restful sleep. He tried everything from meditation to counting sheep. Nothing worked, not that he expected it to. It hadn’t worked before, why should it work now?



“Fuck” he muttered to himself.



Glaring at his watch he saw that it was close to midnight. Had he really lain here that long? Footsteps in the hallway drew his attention. Was Naruto back? He lay silently as his door opened and the figure walked across the room to the bed. Naruto flopped down beside Sasuke. Light snores came from the blonde, signaling that he was asleep.



Sasuke was as still as a statue. What the fuck? Did he just get into bed with me? Then it hit Sasuke. This wasn’t the room that Naruto had shown to him. This was Naruto’s room. Again. It happened again. His body seemed to know exactly where it wanted to be even if his mind didn’t understand a thing.



Deciding it best to go to his own room, Sasuke eased away from the sleeping blonde towards the edge of the bed. He was about to roll to his feet when an arm wrapped itself around him and pulled him against a warm chest. Biting his lip to keep in the cry of alarm, Sasuke lay wrapped in Naruto’s arms for several minutes. His heart began to pound in his chest.



“Sasuke.” murmured Naruto, as he buried his face in Sasuke’s neck.



Sasuke nearly had a heart attack. Now he was stuck with Naruto in bed. He figured he had two options. One option was to wake up Naruto and apologize for sleeping in the wrong room. The second option was to lie here quietly until Naruto released him and then make his way to his own room.



Deciding against waking Naruto, Sasuke lay quietly and waited for Naruto to release him. The warm breath on his neck was slowly driving him insane. Each puff that brushed across the tiny hairs on his neck sent a shiver down his body. Praying to the gods that Naruto would let go didn’t seem to be working. In fact, Naruto seemed to be snuggling closer.



“Nn…Sasuke…I missed you.” murmured Naruto again.



‘Missed me?’ thought Sasuke. They weren’t even apart a full day. How did he miss him? Sasuke felt his eyes slowly drooping.



‘Don’t fall asleep. Don’t fall asleep.” Sasuke chanted to himself.



The body pressed up against him was so warm. The arm that wrapped around him was so comforting. Slowly, he felt his muscles relaxing. Sasuke’s eyes fluttered shut and soon he too drifted to sleep.



Naruto snuggled in tighter to the warm body in front of him. He’d had dreams like this before. Dreams where Sasuke was there in his arms, only to wake up and there be nothing but shattered dreams and a crushed heart. Closing his eyes tighter, Naruto held onto the body as tight as he could, determined that this time he wouldn’t let go. This time he would keep Sasuke in his arms.



“Uhh….Naruto….can’t…breathe…”



Naruto’s eyes shot open and he released his death grip on Sasuke. That wasn’t something he saw every morning. The morning light was filtering in through the shades to dapple across Sasuke’s face. It was the image out of a dream. Naruto knew then that he must be dreaming. Sasuke was lying in his bed with sleep clouded eyes.



“Sasuke…” whispered Naruto.



For the longest time, Naruto lay looking into Sasuke’s midnight eyes. He felt his like his soul was being sucked from him by those beautiful orbs. He willingly offered it up. Neither spoke, it was a silent moment that would end soon enough. To Naruto, it seemed as if he lived a lifetime in that one moment. This moment was all that mattered to him.



Like all perfect moments, this one ended far too soon for Naruto. Sasuke’s eyes blinked and he came fully awake. His eyes focused on the blonde and he sat up quickly.



“Naruto… I’m sorry. I didn’t realize I’d lain down on your bed until you came in. I didn’t want to wake you since you were sleeping so hard.” said Sasuke.



Truthfully, that had been the best sleep Sasuke had gotten in years. He had rested as if nothing in the world would bother him. Simply being held in Naruto’s arms had soothed a part of him that longed for the comfort of another being. Naruto had connected with a part of him that he didn’t even know was needy. Never in his life had he felt this sort of a connection with another.



“It’s alright. I don’t mind sharing my bed. Last night was one of the best night’s sleep I’ve had in ages.” smiled Naruto.



“Hn.”



“Don’t deny it. You slept good.” grinned Naruto.



“I laid awake all night.” lied Sasuke. No way in hell he would give the blonde the satisfaction.



“Heh, and I thought I was a bad liar.” said Naruto.



Sasuke fought the blush that threatened to engulf his face. He did not blush. Sasuke scowled and stood, making his way out of the room and towards the kitchen to see if there was anything to fix for breakfast.



Finding a few packages of tea, Sasuke began heating some water in a kettle and pulled out the left over rice and soup. Dividing the food onto two separate plates, Sasuke put both in the oven to heat while he waited for the water to boil. The screaming of the kettle alerted Sasuke that the water was ready. Pulling the plates from the oven, Sasuke placed to tea cups on the table and grabbed the kettle.



Naruto stood in the doorway. The sight was a familiar one to him. Sasuke might not realize it but to Naruto this scene was identical to many mornings long ago. Sasuke was always the first one up and about. While Naruto lounged about in bed, delaying the actual rising, Sasuke would begin preparing breakfast for the two of them. It was a morning ritual between the two. Seeing it repeated brought bittersweet warmth to Naruto.



“Thanks for getting breakfast ready.” smiled Naruto.



“No problem, I figured it was the least I could do seeing as I took part of your bed last night.” said Sasuke as he sat down sipping his tea.



“If you like, I’ll show you around today. There’s a lot of history here that very few people are privy too.” said Naruto.



Sasuke arched a brow. He was curious about this place hidden away from the world. Such a place should be swarmed by scientists or historians and yet it seemed that the only people that knew it existed were Naruto, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and now himself.



“I’d like that.” said Sasuke. And he meant it. He felt a since of déjà vu from this place. It was similar to the sensation of having a word on the tip of your tongue but not being able to form it. That was what it felt like. It was like a memory on the tip of his mind but he couldn’t remember it. He knew it was there but he just couldn’t access it. Perhaps learning about this place would bring that thought out to where he could access it. Either way, spending the day with Naruto would be interesting.



“Great, finish your food and we’ll get started.” said Naruto.

TBC~



~Thank you very much for the reviews~



Alyneese Oh ye of little faith. Don’t worry there will be no sex yet as I stated in the author not hehe. I understand your worries but truthfully I don’t think either are ready for that step in the relationship. I plan to build it up a little and let the sexual tension rise. Also as to the fans, now I scanned through the chapters and I don’t think any of them have any mention of the fan as far as present day and I want to keep it that way. The fans are a part of the past Sasuke not the present. I hope to merge the past with the present soon enough. Thanks so much for the review and for asking questions and pointing out issues =D.

Xzanayu I have some ideas planned but I have to wait and see how the story flows. I’ll see what happens. Memories are a hard thing to work with because I would worry for Sasuke’s sanity if it becomes too straining on him to have to deal with two sets of memories. Lets see how the story unfolds ^^

good chaos Every little review helps even if its just to say great job keep up the good work. I’ve wrote several stories on the bleach section and they don’t get nearly the reviewing as this one. But then, this story is special.

BadDragonBran It was more of a he was pulled that way. If it was any other person I don’t think Sasuke would have gone with them but his connection with Naruto isn’t the normal connection. They are for lack of a better word, soul mates and as such feel drawn to each other. That’s my reasoning anyway. I’m sure Tsunade put on a nice pleading face and that helped some too. Oh, and just cuz they are alone don’t mean sex will ensue. Definitely some sexual tension but sex is a no-no for a bit. Sure you can proof read my stuff. I‘ll email you chapter 12 once I get it typed up Just email me your email address to dbat@windstream.net=p.

Dacedarrien lol I added you to my email alert. Also as you can see, sleeping arrangements got a little interesting in this chapter. Please continue to enjoy this story and let me know what you think.

Akiru chan a few questions in this chapter but mostly just confusion abounding lol. I’m the opposite from you lol. I love angst and drama and internal suffering but I want the happily ever after at the end. BTW BSL was an awesome story tragic though it was. ^^.

shadowphoenix143 No problem, I’m more than happy to email anyone that wants an alert. I would email out the story but it really looks better once I upload it to AFF, since it has several parts that are in italic and you have to put in special signals to make it come out as bold or italic. I am so glad that you are getting lost in What Dreams May Come. That’s what I like to hear and yes these next few days will test the strength of Naruto’s willpower. Stay tuned.

ZN18 Yes he is but its more than that. I added you to the email alert as well. Thanks.

ahmenet Please I never make things that easy. Don’t judge a book by its cover. You are exactly right I don’t plan on making it easy at all. Everyone assumes that as soon as I leave them alone they will end up in bed and everything will be hunky dory. In a perfect world maybe. Well…if I was left alone with either of them or hell both of them, I’d have them in bed faster than they could say hi. But that’s me lol. Truthfully, I wanted them there so they could begin to bond with out interference from outside. This situation is stressful enough without throwing in friends/family. Please continue to read and just because one chapter has you worried, stick it out before jumping to conclusions =D.

AylsiaStorms lol glad to see I have your interest good and locked down. I too am in anticipation of what’s to come. Not yet sure how I will deal with the next chapter which will be Sasuke given a tour by Naruto. We will see. Thank you very much for reading.

BumbleBee You are one of the ones that will be disappointed (T.T). I hope the chapter was interesting enough even though no lemon. Don’t worry though. There will be a lemon but I really want to build up the sexual tension/emotional connection before I toss them in bed with a bottle of lube and say have at it. Stay tuned =p

satterb I actually loved that last chapter. It was one of the easiest for me to write. Some chapters come so easily while others are like pulling teeth. Sorry no lemon for a bit though I may throw in a dream lemon or some SoloM. Not sure yet I have to see how the story flows for me. The chapters are longer in this story than in any of my previous ones so I’m spending a lot of time developing my characters and expressing their emotions. I hop you don’t mind waiting a bit for the big lemon. It will be worth it.

Sneakfox well the torture is what brings you guys back for more. You are all masochists at heart. If I gave you guys everything in the first chapter you wouldn’t need your fix.

Nickles gah that’s an awesome line. I love that. That is so romantic the idea of Sasuke saying that. It wont be that easy though. Sasuke is Sasuke but hes different. Happy ending is a promise but how the two end up I guess you will have to wait and see. =p
