I have always had a slight problem with the ! Button. Really, its ridiculous and I need to stop, but thank you for pointing it out and I�ll try to rectify it. Oh, and your guess on the chest. Very good!!!!!!! (soz)

The Shika/Saku thing? I personally think they would be good. They are both smart and even though I don�t like her, Sakura has a less shrill voice than Ino and I feel that Shika would appreciate that.

I wasn�t sure on how much Gaara knew or though he knew so I left it as he didn�t know but was very suspicious.

Cussing/Cursing are practically the same thing, but where cursing can either mean swearing or, to place a curse on something, cussing is only, to swear. To cuss. It�s in the oxford dictionary.

Also, thanks for your review as well. I love to read long reviews like that one.

Okay. If you see any grammar errors, tell me and I will rectify them. I�m really tired as I write this and I know that there is sure to be a couple.

Forgiveness And Confessions

Naruto had never liked to sit and wait for anything, feeling that just hanging around and doing nothing was just a waste of ones time and energy. Sitting outside the Hokage�s office, waiting for someone to come out, fell into that category of �time wasting�. He had lasted sitting on that bench, doing nothing but stare at the wall for all of five minutes, until impatience had gotten the better of him and he decided to go exploring..
After a short time of wandering the tower, he realised that he might as hell have stayed where he was. The tower was pretty much empty, with only a few random pictures on walls with boring scenery. The guards which were scattered around the tower, didn�t speak to him at all and practically ignored his existence. Some even gave him death glares, which he ignored. Every floor was the same, until he reached a corridor with tapestries along the stretch of one wall. The corridor itself was dark, due to the very small windows which didn�t let in very much light.

From what could be seen, the tapestries were all a reddish gold and instead of a specific picture, there were patterns which formed strange scenes. They weren�t very clear, due to the lack of light. Even trying to get a close look wasn�t working.
He was definitely curious as to what was on the tapestries, which was strange for him, considering he didn�t take much interest in art usually but he found the patterns intriguing. Naruto decided that he would get a lamp from one of the lower levels of the tower.
Making a note of what floor he was on, he left the corridor, going down the stairs to one of the lighted area�s. On his way down, he literally bumped into Tsunade, who was on her way up.
�Old hag!�
�Brat!�
Naruto grinned at her. �Is your meeting over? Where�s Ino?�
Tsunade stared at him expressionless, then reached out and pulled sharply on his ear, nails digging into the skin.
�Owowowowowow,� Naruto grabbed her wrist and tried to pull her off him, �what are you doing?�
�I want a word.�
�You didn�t have to grab me in the process,� Naruto pouted when she released his ear. �What is with people pulling me around when they �want to talk�?�
Tsunade ignored that comment and leaned against the wall, folding her arms underneath her chest. �I have a request. Do you think that maybe, if you do something stupid again, such as let people into your mind to a dangerous place, you could inform me? That way I could take steps to see that it doesn�t happen again?�
Naruto leaned against the opposite wall and copied her stance. They were both still on the main staircase, which Naruto felt was a silly place to have a conversation, but if that was what she wanted�. �No problem, although I don�t see what the problem is.�
�The problem, as you put it,� Tsunade leaned forward, �is that she could have tried to free the Kyuubi. From what little I understand about the seal is, if it is released, it will kill you as well as itself.�
�Oh.�
�Yes, oh. You see what I�m getting at?�
�I got it. No letting anyone into my head. Gotcha.�
Tsunade gave him a small smile. �In answer to your question about Ino, she has gone. I told her to visit her parents soon, so hopefully she go there soon. You should be going too. Its late.
�But�� Naruto trailed off It was late and it would be easier to see the tapestries in daylight, even if it was scarce on that floor. �Oh fine.�
Tsunade reached out and ruffled Naruto�s hair, making him protest and try to push her hand away. �Goodnight Naruto.�

The flower shop had a closed sign on the window. At first glance, it looked like an early lunchtime closure, but when looked at closer, you could tell that it hadn�t been opened all day. This could explain the eerie silence that accompanied the empty street.
Ino didn�t really want to be there. The idea of arguing about the same thing all over again, this time with both of her parents, didn�t really appeal to her very much, but even she realised that trying to talk it out was better than continuous ignorance. Naruto had repeatedly told her that she should make up with her parents and when she had told him of Tsunade�s order to see her parents, he had agreed and told her to go today. Family is important, was his constant argument.

Even though she had waved that point away, she secretively agreed with him. She hated the fact that she was no longer on speaking terms with her own family. Also, she felt like she was invading Naruto�s personal space. She was sleeping on his bed while he slept on the sofa. Practically rearranged his house to suit her own tastes and even made Naruto dress differently, according to what she thought looked good. It was his home and she was just a temporary lodger, even if she was his girlfriend.
Taking a deep breath, she stepped over to the back door of the shop (which so happened to be the front door of the house) and knocked, not feeling right just walking into the place that she had walked out of and was no longer her home because of it.
After a few seconds, the door opened and a small head appeared in the crack between the door edge and the doorframe and wide eyes stared up at her in surprise.
�Ino-nee-chan?
�Hey Makoto. Why are you answering the door?� she answered, quite relieved that it wasn�t her father. He was the most likely person to start yelling at her in the street, causing a scene.
�Mum and Dad are talking. They didn�t hear the door,� was his quiet response.
Ino smiled at him. If there was one thing that she had definitely missed, it was her little brother. �Well, are you going to stand there all day, or are you going to let me in?�
Makoto backed up, pulling the door open and Ino stepped over the threshold, into the narrow space beyond it and removed her shoes, putting on her house slippers. Surprisingly, they were where she had left them. She then stood up and followed her brother down the hall.
The Yamanaka living room was the same as it had always been, although there was a melancholy air about the place which she noticed as soon as she entered. Her parents were sitting on small chairs, each with a cup in their hands and they were talking quietly. They looked up as she walked in but neither of them offered a greeting.
�You wanted to see me?� Ino asked stiffly, feeling uncomfortable in the tense surroundings. She then felt Makoto slip a hand into hers and she relaxed slightly.
�Ino, yes,� her mother looked at her squarely and gave her a small, hesitant smile. �How are you?�
�Fine.�
�How has everything been since you�ve been gone?�
�They�ve been fine mother,� Ino sighed, �would you get to the point. I don�t want so stand here all afternoon, answering pointless questions.�
�Yes, right.� Her mother looked down for a moment, then raised her head again. �Ino, I want you to come back home.�
�Not until you can change your convictions,� Ino�s tone went cold, �I told you my reasons for leaving and I�m not about to change them.� She felt Makoto squeeze her hand in a comforting gesture and she released her tensed shoulders slightly.
�I know you wont,� her mother didn�t break their eye contact, �so I want you to invite Uzumaki-san around here one evening for dinner. It would be the best way to get to know your boyfriend.�
Ino�s jaw dropped.
�I had a chat with the Hokage a few days ago,� her mother continued, �and I basically got a telling off. I decided that I didn�t want to loose my only daughter because I wasn�t open minded enough to get to know a boy who had no choice in the life he has. A boy who has lived alone and has been shunned since he was a small child. I�m sorry for it and I�m willing to give him a chance.�
Tears had been welling in Ino�s eyes during her mothers small speech and now they were dripping down her cheeks. Her mother looked so ashamed herself and her father wouldn�t look at her and even he had a look of guilt about him.
�I want to meet Naruto-kun, Nee-chan. Please?� Makoto pulled on her hand, making her stare down at him. �I want to see him and I want you to come home.�
�Makoto�� Ino continued to stare down at her brother., looking into his wide, light blue eyes, the same shade as her own. She really did want to come home and her brother really wanted her back.
�Okay,� she said shakily. �I�ll do it. I�ll come home. But if Naruto feels any bad vibes or you act nasty, I�m out of here and I will not come back.�
�You have my word that I�ll try my best to feel welcome,� her mother agreed. Ino stared at her in silence for a few moments, then she dropped Makoto�s hand and dove into her mother�s arms, tears still rolling down her cheeks.

The decision to explore the tapestry corridor in the daylight had been a good idea at the time, but trying to explore, with the very annoying, last member of the Uchiha trailing behind him was not exactly part of the plan. For some reason, Sasuke had been speaking to Tsunade, when Naruto had barged into her office and �told� her that he was exploring the tower. He had then barged back out again, grinning, not waiting for the tirade of swear words that usually followed when he had ignored the rules or her privacy. Actually, he did it, just so he could piss her off. She was more fun that way. It turned out though, Tsunade had sent Sasuke to follow him, to determine what it was that Naruto was looking for in his exploration. The reason he was trailing him like a shadow, not talking but always there.
Naruto had looked over about half of the tapestries, before he became tired of the Uchiha�s silence and turned to him with a sigh.
�What is it that you actually want Sasuke? I�m sure you aren�t actually enjoying trailing after me.�
�Who said I�m not?� The first thing the other boy had spoken, after telling him about Tsunade�s anger. �I happen to enjoy art and these tapestries are very interesting.�
�You haven�t even been looking at them,� Naruto growled, �because I know you�ve been staring at my back the entire time.�
�Actually, I was looking at something lower,� the amusement in his voice was hard to miss and Naruto felt a blush fast approaching. Why, why did Sasuke do this? Did he take some perverse pleasure in tormenting him?
�Shut up, bastard,� seemed to be the best that he could come out with.
�Make me, Dobe,� was Sasuke�s equally as childish answer. Naruto sighed again and ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.
�What exactly is it that you want, Sasuke?�
�I told you, Tsunade sent me.�
�I know you did,� Naruto stood in front of him and looked at him, �but what do you want?�
Sasuke returned the stare for a moment, then answered. �I wanted to ask you a question.� His eyes bored into Naruto�s, making his heart speed up slightly and his breath a little harsher. �I want a honest answer.�
�S� Sure.�
�Do you think about me?� he asked. �Am I a constant on your mind? Does the speed of your heart beat change at the sound of my name or the tone of my voice?�
The dark haired boy moved closer to him and Naruto unconsciously moved backwards until he felt the tapestry behind him.
�Why are you asking me that?� Naruto practically whispered, shock etched on his features. �Why?� Was the other boy able to read him so easily?
�Just answer me Dobe.� Sasuke moved even closer until he was a step away. His hands pressed against the wall, just above Naruto�s shoulders and he leaned closer, moving his head down slightly so that they were at eye level. This made Naruto realise that Sasuke was actually still a little bit taller than him.
�No,� was his obstinate answer. Sasuke moved even closer to him, so that his chest was pressed against his own and his breath tickled his ear.
�Tell me.�
Naruto shivered. His hands were hanging by his waist and he was using all of his will power, to stop himself from gripping onto Sasuke�s shirt and pulling the dark haired boy closer.
�I� I�� Naruto bit his lip. What was he supposed to say? �Sasuke. Even though I�m dating Ino and care about her, I cant seem to stop thinking about you. Also, could you kiss me, right now!� Yeah right. That would really go down well with his team mate. �I cant.� Using every ounce of his resolve he had, he placed his hands on Sasuke�s chest and pushed the other boy away. In doing so, he pushed himself backwards hard and found himself getting tangled up in tapestry as he felt the wall behind him move.
�Dobe,� Sasuke reached out and grabbed Naruto�s wrist, pulling him out of the mounds of fabric which had now fallen off the wall. Naruto found himself once again pressed against Sasuke�s chest, but this time Sasuke had placed an arm around his waist with a firm grip, giving him no way of escaping, especially since he was still holding onto his other wrist. �Are you okay?�
�I�m fine. Let me go.� Naruto began to wriggle, trying to escape but Sasuke tightened his hold and Naruto realised what he was wriggling against and stopped abruptly, a light blush painting his face.
�What if I don�t want to?�
�I don�t care what you do and don�t want. Let me go now.�
�Why?�
�Why!?� Naruto spluttered in disbelief. What the hell? Sasuke wasn�t smirking but instead was staring at him fixedly. If Naruto didn�t know any better, he would say that the expression in his eyes was almost hungry. �What do you mean, �why�?� he continued.
The expression on Sasuke�s face did not change and as before, he brought his face down so that it was directly opposite Naruto�s.
�Why would I want to let you go?� Sasuke answered. �I�m very comfortable holding onto you.� With that said, he squeezed Naruto�s waist, then stroked his fingers against the covered back.
�Maybe I don�t like it.� Naruto couldn�t look away from Sasuke�s dark eyes, which were slowly edging closer to his. �Maybe I�m uncomfortable.�
�Then I might consider agreeing to your request, if that turned out to be true.�
Sasuke�s face was now so close to his, that Naruto�s nose was gently brushing against the other boys. Naruto felt his eyelids droop as he felt Sasuke�s gentle breath on his face. His heart was thumping incredibly fast in his chest and he felt his stomach turn over in nervous excitement.
�Do you want me to let go?� Sasuke whispered. He licked his lips, letting only the tip of his tongue show. Naruto�s breath sped up at this movement and his arm, which until now had been hanging at his side, (the other wrist was still encased in Sasuke�s grip,) reached up and gripped the other boys shoulder tightly.
�Do you?� Sasuke�s expression changed from hungry, to molten sensuality, boring into Naruto�s eyes with such intensity that he gasped.
�No,� he finally got past his throat, his eyes slipping closed. He heard Sasuke let out a groan, them felt warm lips press onto his own.
Naruto recognised the kiss, almost as soon as he opened his mouth to accept the other boys probing tongue. Sugar candy. Sweet and addictive. The fake Ino! The citrus scent which had been faint before, was a bit stronger now. How did he miss it before?
Sasuke released his arm and instead cupped the back of his neck, twining his fingers into golden strands of hair. Naruto dropped his hand to Sasuke�s other shoulder, then moved both arms to encircle Sasuke�s neck.

-

He was completely breathless. With Sasuke�s lips sliding over his own, teeth nibbling every now and then on his bottom lip and a hot tongue brushing every part of his mouth the other boy could find, there was no moment to draw breath. His knees felt weak and he knew that if Sasuke wasn�t holding him up, he would have fallen. He�d never kissed Ino while standing up. He had always been seated when kissing his girlfriend.
Girlfriend!
Ino!
Shit!
Naruto untangled himself away from Sasuke, pulling sharply away from the kiss with a gasp. He managed to push Sasuke a few steps away from him, then placed his hand on his chest, panting. What had he just been doing? He stared at the other boy, who was looking at him darkly, hands clenched to his sides.
�And what, pray tell, was that for?� was the question directed at him from the other boy.
�You� You kissed me!� Naruto raised his hand and pointed a shaking finger at Sasuke. The boy being pointed at, smirked at him and raised his eyebrows.
�Yes, I know I did, and you were enjoying it.�
�Bastard!�
�Dobe!�
�Aaahhh. What am I going to tell Ino?� Naruto panicked, fisting his hair in his hands and pulling on it. �I just kissed another boy, willingly.�
�Tell her the truth,� Sasuke supplied unhelpfully., crossing his arms in front of him. �Tell her you�re breaking up with her and are now going out with me.�
�What?� Naruto�s mouth practically hit the floor.
�You heard. Tell her that.�
�What makes you think,� Naruto moved forward towards the other boy, �that I would want to date someone like you?� He yelped suddenly, jumping back as Sasuke moved in to grab him again.
�Let me see now,� Sasuke muttered scornfully, �maybe due to the fact that you just �let; me kiss you.�
�I never said that you could.�
�You didn�t stop me!�
�You didn�t let me!�
�DIDN�T LET YOU?� To Naruto�s shock, Sasuke began shouting at him, totally loosing his composure. �I ASKED YOU WHAT YOU WANTED. I ASKED IF YOU WANTED ME TO LET YOU GO. I BLOODY ASKED.� He raised a shaking hand and ran it through his black tresses, then let it drop again. �I asked,� he continued, running out of steam.� You said no.�
�I did, didn�t I,� Naruto stated quietly, looking away from the black haired boy. It was his fault in a way. Sasuke had given him plenty of opportunities to get away, but he hadn�t taken them. He then looked back at Sasuke, but didn�t meet his eyes. �Why did you kiss me?�
�Because I wanted to.�
�That�s not an answer, you bastard,� Naruto closed his eyes and breathed slowly. �Why did you do it? What were you hoping for? What is going through that twisted mind of yours?�
All he received was a tentative silence and only slightly harsher breathing noises met his ears. Naruto looked up at Sasuke and actually met his eyes this time.
�I wanted to,� was the quiet answer, �I�ve been wanting to for a long time now and I was hoping that I could get you to reciprocate those feelings.�
�Reciprocate? That means �to return� right?� Naruto asked.
�Yes.�
Naruto felt a blush rising on his cheeks and he turned away quickly in embarrassment. How was he supposed to reply to that?
�What the?� he heard Sasuke say questioningly all of a sudden and he turned his head and stared in the same direction that Sasuke was looking in and noticed a door. A door that had most definitely not been there when he was exploring the corridor earlier. From the mess on the floor in front of it, it was obvious that it had been hidden behind the tapestry that he had accidentally wrenched off the wall.
�A hidden room,� he smiled, the conversation forgotten for the moment. �I wonder what�s in there.�
Sasuke stepped towards the door, either in curiosity or because he wanted to avoid his last question, and pulled the latch, twisting it to the right and opening the door. It wasn�t locked, which was strange, considering that it had been a �hidden� door.
Sasuke pushed it open, revealing the interior of the room. There was nothing inside, apart from a couple of small boxes in a corner. Naruto took one look around the room, but then found his attention drawn elsewhere.
He heard a voice. It wasn�t loud and it wasn�t quiet. It was sweet, caressing, like nothing he had ever heard before. He couldn�t actually make out what was being said, but he felt like he should know the voice. Just hearing it made him feel complete, whole. As if something had been missing his entire life and had only just returned to him. The only thing was, it kept slipping away from him, teasing him with its presence.

He felt the urge to move forwards, into the strange room which the voice was coming from.
�Naruto?�
Sasuke�s voice seemed far away from him. Even though he could hear it, the urge to ignore it was strong and he moved forward, into the doorway, past the doorway, into the room.

The strange voice seemed to be louder inside the room and he could make out a jumble of words that the voice seemed to se speaking.
�I will return to innocence.�
�The seal must be completed.�
This is the only way. It must be kept secret.�
�NARUTO,� Sasuke yelled in his ear, shaking him by his shoulders. This snapped him out of his trance and the voice disappeared. Naruto stared up into Sasuke�s worried, dark eyes.
�W� What?�
�What�s going on? Why weren�t you answering me?�
�I� I�� Naruto was confused. �I don�t� Someone was speaking.�
�Yes, I was Dobe.�
�No. Someone else was. Didn�t you hear them? It was in this room.�
Sasuke gave him a questioning look, then shook his head in a negative. �There�s only you and me and I didn�t hear anyone else speaking.�
�But I heard�� Naruto trailed off as a searing pain shot through his forehead. A familiar pain. He clapped a hand to his forehead and winced.
�What�s wrong?�
Naruto shook his head slightly at Sasuke�s question. �Just a headache again. Nothing much.�
Sasuke didn�t look convinced. �As bad as that time I had to take you to Tsunade-sama?�
�No, just a headache.�
�You sure?�
�Yes.� Naruto pushed past him and left the room. When he reached the hallway, he broke into a run and headed back down the stairs. He had to escape. The corridor, the room and most importantly, Sasuke and the strange feelings that the other boy had invoked in him.
