Was a little upset that I only got one review for the last
chapter and it made my morale plummet just a little. Still I'm not going to be
spiteful and make you guys wait for another chapter, no matter how tempted I am
lol.
***
�This is the third time this week that Sakura has had to
patch you up Sasuke,� said Kakashi as he watched Sakura knell next to the
Uchiha and begin rummaging around in her pouch for what she would need to
attend to his injury, �its unlike you to make mistakes when doing the little
things Sasuke, like now for instance. I'm assuming that you still have enough
chakra control to climb a tree right, so there must be something distracting you.�
Sasuke winced as Sakura began to pick splinters out of a
large gash in his arm with tweezers where he had been caught by a branch when
he fell before glancing up at the leader of their team. He knew Kakashi would
notice his less than applied approach to their work recently but he didn�t
expect the jonin to pry, especially not somewhat publicly.
�Hey guys what happened, why did you stop,� Naruto�s voice
floated through the trees� toward the and
a few second later he was landing on the soft earth of the forest floor a few
meters away, �one moment your all behind me and then when I looked again your
all gone.�
Kakashi�s eye turned up in a smile, �it�s alright Naruto,
Sasuke just took a little tumble,� he turned back to Sasuke and any hint of the
smile disappeared, �seems he was distracted by something�again.�
Naruto walked over to them and trained his eyes on Sasuke,
his jaw dropping at the bloody gash reaching from the ravens shoulder to just below
his elbow. It wasn�t very deep, hardly a life threatening wound and if Sakura hadn�t
have been here to fret Naruto knew Sasuke wouldn�t have even bothered with
healing it with chakra. He would have just strapped it up and let his body take
its course.
The blonde joined Sakura kneeling at Sasuke�s side and
wrinkled his nose a little as the rusty smell of blood mixed with the scent of
the damp earth beneath them, �are you alright Sasuke?�
The Uchiha stared into blue eyes and tried not to see the guilt
there but he knew that Naruto thought that to an extent this was his fault;
that he was to blame for Sasuke�s clumsiness and slow reaction time of late but
in reality that really wasn�t true.
Sasuke was the one who had decided to stay on with team
seven when Naruto had asked him to. He could have easily said no, decided that
it was best for the two of them to be apart but he just couldn�t bring himself
deny Naruto what he had wanted and maybe it was the fact that a little over a
week ago he had been facing a future in which he would never be able to talk to
his friend again or maybe it was something inside him that had been brought to
the surface after his confrontation with his brother� but the younger Uchiha was finding it harder
and harder to say no to Naruto about anything at all.
�I'm fine Naruto, it�s just a scratch,� Sasuke answered
quickly not wanting to cause the blonde more distress with his silence, �Sakura
come on where almost to the village this mission is at, can�t you just strap it
up and deal with it later, we�re late as it is.�
�But Sasuke there are still a lot of splinters in it, it
could get infected,� Sakura wasn�t one to be argued with when it came to
medical matters, she tended to get even angrier than normal when she wasn�t
obeyed.
�yes I know the risk Sakura but an hour or two won�t really
hurt alright, please just strap it we can get moving again,� the konoichi�s
glare was fierce and Sasuke was unpleasantly reminded of the beating he had received
from her only two days before hand, �I swear Sakura once we get to the village
and get settled you can give me all the medical attention you want.� Sasuke
prayed that, that would appease her.
His prayers were answered when she put aside her tweezers
and pulled out a roll of bandages but the raven�s relief didn�t last long as
the she pulled out a kunai and used it to cut away what was left of the right
sleeve of his white shirt with malicious glee causing her green eyes to flash a
shade brighter.
�Alright once Sakura is finished mutilating Sasuke�s shirt
worse than his arm we�ll get going again,� Kakashi announced as he watched
Naruto return to the trees and gave a little chuckle when the serenity of the
forest surrounding them was destroyed by the tearing of fabric and Sakura�s own
little laugh.
Their first new mission together was certainly off to an
interesting start.
***
�You know I really don�t get this mission,� said Naruto as
he lay upside down on a couch with a map of the river systems in the area clutched
in his hands and a recent weather report discarded beside him.
�We know Naruto, you�ve said that three times in the past
half hour,� mumbled Sakura from her position next to Sasuke who was sitting stoically
in endurance of her overzealous medical treatment, �you�ll be able to knock me
over with a feather on the day when you do actually understand a mission
straight off the bat.�
�Hey Sakura that�s not very-�
�it�s alright Naruto, even I'm a little annoyed by this
mission,� Kakashi cut Naruto off before his rant could even begin and decided
to continue explaining himself so it couldn�t start up again, �having an entire
mission ride on the weather is stupid, we could be guarding the river that runs
through this town night after night for the rest of the rainy season for no
reason what so ever.�
�but still it is better to be safe than sorry,� Sakura
commented, � if the pirates sailed up the river last year when it flooded who�s
to say they won�t try it again.�
�Yeah I get that part Sakura and what you said Kakashi but I
still don�t understand how they manage to do it,� Naruto complained, the river
inlets are guarded aren�t they, so how do the pirates even get this far down
the river to attack this town?�
�Yes your right Naruto, the river inlets as well as the
towns surrounding them are guarded because they�re the most at risk from pirate
attacks but it is still possible for small groups to slip past in smaller boat disguised
as fisherman,� Kakashi said with a yawn, �it�s hard to know who�s a pirate and
who isn�t which will be an annoying part of this mission, still it�s not like
we have to worry about that unless the river here floods enough for them to
actually get their boats down here.�
�How many more meters does it have to rise before that
becomes possible,� Sasuke inquired.
�Honestly it�s possible for them to do it now, as well as every
other time of the year when the river is at high tide but only just,� Kakashi
remarked casually, �I just don�t think the pirates want to run the risk of
conducting a raid and missing the tide.�
�Have you told the head of the village that?� Naruto balked
at the new information, nearly shouting it.
�I�ve made him aware, why do you think were being put up in
this hot spring resort free of charge while were here instead of sleeping on
the ground like usual,� Kakashi�s eye turned into a curse, �he was very grateful
for the information to say the least and wanted to know if Konoha would be
interested in providing year round protection. I told him I would have to discuss
it with the Kazekage and that she in turn would have to talk to the Mizukage. I
think this is his way of persuading us.�
Naruto righted himself on the couch and faced Kakashi, �so
let me get this straight. We�re here for the rest of the rainy season for a
mission that we won�t have to do anything for unless it actually rains?�
�That�s about it,� Kakashi said with a grin permeating his
tone, �couldn�t have too difficult of a mission since Sasuke still seems to be
recovering from his return from the dead.�
The blonde swivelled in his seat and affixed Sasuke with
excited blue eyes, �I never thought I�d say this but you should die and get
wounded more often, this is going to be a holiday not a mission!!�
Sasuke gave a grunt as his response and stood up since
Sakura had finished with his arm before twisting and stretching experimentally,
wincing when there was still a slight put to his skin and muscle but that would
be worked out through training and time.
�Alright then guys it�s still pretty early so what�s say we
go and check out the best places of us to conduct watches if we actually have
to before heading into the town to check out the local cuisine,� Kakashi joined
Sasuke in standing and Naruto had his shoes on and was out the door already at
the mention of food.
�And after that a nice long soak in the hot springs,� Sakura
said with a dreamy sigh, �the water will do your arm a lot of good Sasuke.�
�Well let�s get going then, before Naruto gets himself into
trouble without us there to watch over him,� Kakashi uttered as he trailed the
other two out of the room as his mind began to spin a few dangerous thoughts.
If they didn�t get attacked Kakashi thought that with the right pushes here and
a few little shoves there he may just be able to put his team back together and
maybe make it greater than before.
***
Naruto relaxed into the steaming water of the spring and
sighed as he watched the setting sun painting beautiful colours on the horizon,
�it�s so nice to be at a hot spring and not have someone insulting the size of
my penis.�
Sasuke coughed at the sudden declaration and looked away
from the blonde who sat beside him and decided that the heat of the water was
the reason that his cheeks were so red.
�You know Naruto,� said Kakashi as he settled into the water
besides the pair and let out his own contented sigh as his travel weary body
made contact with the soothing water, �depending on who your with, sometimes it�s
not your size that matters,� the jonin glanced at Sasuke as he straightened the
towel on his face a little, �it�s theirs that counts.�
Naruto sank further into the water until it hit his chin and
he felt the tips of his ears go red, �you know it would also be nice if I
wasn�t in the company of a total pervert as well,� he grumbled like an upset
child.
Kakashi shrugged of the insult-he knew what he was- and
continued, �Though maybe the reason Sai makes those comments about you is that he�s
worried about his own size and is hoping that one day you�ll prove just how well-endowed
you are to him. I bet the comments would stop then.�
�Oh my god Kakashi sensei for once can you please keep your
twisted thoughts to yourself,� Naruto was glad the bath was empty save them
three, it would have been too embarrassing if anyone else had been around to overhear
his former teachers fantasies, �that�s it, I'm not going to get to sleep
tonight now that you�ve put those images in my head.�
Kakashi chuckled at the blondes outrage, it was so easy to
get a rise out of him and the jonin wondered if maybe he enjoyed it a little
too much, �okay Naruto I�ll save you what dignity you have and stop. Let�s just
try and enjoy ourselves while we have the chance okay. We could all use this as
a chance to get over what happened.�
Naruto was about to voice his agreement when he felt small
waves lapping against his side and turned back to face the Uchiha on his other
side to see him exiting the bath and heading back inside without saying a word.
�Hey Sasuke where are you going,� Naruto called and stepped
out of the bath too, soaking wet towel clutched tightly around his waist, �is
the water too hot for you, there�s a separate bath for people who get dizzy if
they get to hot, we can move there if you want.?�
�I'm going on watch,� the Uchiha replied impatiently without
turning to face him and Naruto felt his insides churn, it was clear to him if
not to Kakashi as well that Sasuke was trying to escape their company.
�But you heard what Kakashi said when we were talking about
the mission before didn�t you?� Naruto asked a little confused, he knew Sasuke
was just looking for an excuse but really was he that desperate to get away
from them that he would decide to do unnecessary watch.
�Yes I heard but you heard what Sakura said too, better to
be safe than sorry,�� Sasuke opened the
sliding door that connected the area where clothes and changing areas were
stored and stepped inside without another word, silently declaring the
conversation over with resounding clarity.
�Hey Sasuke hold on a sec would you,� Naruto raced after the
Uchiha and practically ripped the door of its railing in his rush to catch up
with his friend before he disappeared into the forest somewhere.
�Make sure to tell him to get someone to spell him during
the night,� Kakashi called over his shoulder to the blonde as he waded deeper
into the bath, �I know he�s being stubborn about this but it�s not fair for him
to stay up the entire night while the rest of us lay around and enjoy
ourselves.�
Naruto gave a non-committal grunted that reminded Kakashi eerily
of Sasuke and closed the door behind him as he stepped into the room.
Looking around quickly he realised that Sasuke was nowhere
to be seen and that his clothes were gone. Have
I missed him, the blonde thought as he traded his wet towel for a dry one, no Sasuke�s fast but he�s not that fast.
Naruto concentrated, focusing his mind to sense Sasuke�s
chakra signature and smiled when he found him in the private change area. Maybe the bastard is self-conscious about
his body; it wouldn�t surprise me since his self-confidence is so used up when
it comes to his abilities.
Naruto pulled himself away from that line of thought as he
began heading is Sasuke�s direction. Thinking like that would only cause a
fight between him and Sasuke when their friendship was still perched
precariously on such a rocky edge. Their feelings toward one another were
already volatile enough without causing more unneeded tension.
Still maybe that little piece of information he had gleamed
could be useful and he filed it away for use at another date, perhaps on a day
when he was feeling a little self-conscious about himself. Yeah throwing the
fact that the Uchiha didn�t really think that he himself was perfect in every
aspect of the human/ninja condition would most certainly make him feel good.
Naruto leaned against the wall outside of the Uchiha�s
little changing stall and stretched before yawning loudly, the hot water had
made him all relaxed and sleepy. He knew Sasuke had already felt his presence
as he approached and so wasn�t bothering to be quiet as he waited, which he
didn�t have to do for long.
The raven soon unlocked the door to the stall and emerged
fully clothed with his hair ruffled and sticking up at all angles form where he
had tried to dry it and he was about to move past the blonde without even
glancing at him but his ever sharp eyes caught a glimpse of tanned abs and an
inky black seal and he couldn�t help but stop and take in the sight that Naruto
un wittingly presented him with.
The blonde was leaning lazily against the wall with his
hands behind his back, pushing out his chest just a little, displaying the well-defined
muscles there. The black seal markings that ran over his abdomen were
surprisingly stark against the tanned skin, they didn�t blend in at all but ran
there course as if they were and extra layer to the body they were imprinted on
and not really a part of it.
The Uchiha let his eyes drop dangerously lower and travel
over the indents of the blondes hip bones that looked as if someone had simply
pressed their thumbs into soft clay and he was happy to see that the bruises that
he had seen there weeks ago were now well and truly healed as were all the
other marks Kiba had left. Time, rather than Kyuubi, had done its job.
Lower still his eyes dared to go but just as they were about
to grace the soft outline of the blondes towel enshrouded member a soft cough
drew his coal eyes back up, �Sasuke my face is up here,� Naruto said a little
shyly.
He hadn�t really like the way Sasuke had been looking at
him, it made him want to squirm and whine and maybe jump up and down a little
with the anxious feeling that had suddenly taken over his body but he couldn�t
lie that there was a part of him that had enjoyed that look as well.
Someone wanted what he had, wanted him, but Sasuke was his
best friend and that wasn�t right. Who would be his best friend if Sasuke became
his boyfriend? The thought that things could seriously change between them
scared Naruto enough to push his hormones aside that were right at this moment
telling him to accept the Uchiha�s feelings and jump him.
Sasuke sighed and shook his head at his distracting thoughts
but Naruto misinterpreted the movement as a dismissal of his presence and his
eyes narrowed and filled with fire as he pushed himself off the wall and
stepped right into Sasuke�s personal space before poking him lightly in the
chest, �What. Is. With. You?�
Naruto growled out each word slowly into Sasuke�s face and
watched little muscles clench here and others relax there as the Uchiha�s
trademark scowl fell over his face as he tried to move to the side in order to continue
leaving but Naruto shadowed his movements and blocked his way.
The Uchiha�s expression changed again and for a moment Naruto
was transfixed again by the little movements of Sasuke�s and as such he didn�t
notice the raven shifting his feet and curling his hands into fists until it
was too late and he was roughly pushed against the wooden wall with Sasuke�s
arms on either side of his head, baring his escape from Sasuke�s wrath and his
eyes that had bled into red.
�You want to know what�s �with me� Naruto,� Sasuke spat, �you.
You are with me nearly every single day and I can�t think straight because of
it and when I can think it�s when I'm supposed to be asleep and then I can�t
sleep. I thought I was doing the right thing by us and our friendship by
staying on with this team like you asked me to but its only making it harder,� Sasuke
punched the wall and Naruto winced as a splinter off wood caught him across the
cheek but he didn�t interrupt, he had really brought this encounter on himself
and Sasuke was so honest when he was angry.
He wanted Sasuke to be honest with him, he wanted the Uchiha
to let his mask go once and a while and feel that it was safe to do so when
they were together. Wasn�t that what friends were for?
How good of a friend
can I be if he never feels comfortable enough to be himself, even when it�s
just the two of us�wait he did�that time in his bathroom. If Sasuke yelling
at him wasn�t enough to make Naruto feel less than good that last thought sure
did and so he turned his attention back the still angry raven before him and
let him be himself this time since he had failed so badly last time.
�I thought I would be able to sort this out in my own head,
to convince myself that I don�t have these feelings for you, to forget how you
make me feel, and give you what you wanted, for us to just be friends again but
I can�t do that, not when I'm around you,� Sasuke hung his head and took a deep
breath and Naruto shivered a little when his silky blue black hair brushed
against his cheek, �can you at least give me this Naruto, this little time
alone.�
�No,� the Uchiha looked up quickly at the firm dismissal and
opened his mouth to, dare he say it, plead but was stopped short when a warn
tanned body pressed against his front and his parted lips connected rather
forcefully with the blondes when a hand wound its way into the tresses at the
base of his skull and pulled his head down to the slightly shorter boys.
�I don�t want you to forget,� Naruto whispered when he
pulled away slightly, their lips still brushing softly at every uttered word, �i-I
may not�love you the way you love me but Sasuke I want to. I love the idea of
loving you as more than my best friend but right now I just can�t. Kiba, he
left a big hole in me and I worry that it�s not ever going to be patched up, at
least not properly anyway. Everyone kept telling me that I was too good for Kiba,
that I deserved better, well I'm saying the same to you. Sasuke you deserve
better than me.�
Sasuke pulled his face back slightly to look Naruto dead in
the eyes, �but I want you.�
�And what if someone comes along someday who is whole and perfect
and your with me?� the question was almost a sob and Naruto tried to turn his
head way only to find that Sasuke had threaded one of his hands into his own
locks and he hadn�t even realised, �I know you�ll stay with me and let that opportunity
pass you by because your too good of a friend to me.�
�Shut up you idiot!!!�
Kyuubi screamed in his mind, �you
want him to want you, he wants you and you want him. For once shit is working
out for you and your letting that stupid Puppy get in the way again.�
�Naruto stop talking to Kyuubi and talk to me!� Sasuke�s
grip tightened in Naruto�s hair and blonde was pulled back to reality, �I will
never hurt and use you the way Kiba did and I understand if you�re afraid to
get into another relationship with anyone but the reasons you are pushing me
away are stupid. You are you Naruto and you are who I want. Can�t you see that I
don�t care if you�re whole or a demon vessel? Hell I wouldn�t care if you were purple
or you had a vagina for Christ sakes!! I just want you, however you are,
however you come,� Sasuke put his foreheads to Naruto�s and moved his hands
from the blonde locks to stroke a scarred cheek, �and I can wait, as long as
you need me to, but will you please just try?�
Naruto nodded silently but quickly realised that Sasuke was
waiting for a verbal conformation to gauge if he was lying or not so the blonde
affixed him with a determined blue stare, �I�ll try. I swear on my nindo.�
Back out in the baths Kakashi chuckled and flipped open his
book, guess I won�t have to do any scheming
after all.
***
�Good night Naruto,� Sasuke sighed as his head hit the
pillow, he was exhausted from both the journey and the out pouring of emotions
from the both of them earlier that evening.
Sasuke closed his eyes and willed sleep to come quickly but
he found that he was restless and the fact that he could feel Naruto staring at
him from his own bed across the room made it w little hard for him to relax.
�What is it dobe?� Sasuke questioned without opening his
eyes, a little of his irritation at being kept awake leaking into his voice.
The Uchiha heard the soft creak of bed springs and the rustling
of sheets being tossed aside before he felt his bed dip as Naruto settled himself
on it next to him.
Sasuke rolled and opened his eyes, taking in the blonde�s
face that was only inches from his own and the uncertainly clearly visible in
the light of the full moon that was streaming in through the sliding doors, �what
are you doing Naruto?�
Naruto bit his lip before nodding to himself and shifting
closer to Sasuke and wrapping his arms around the Uchiha�s waist and burying his
head under his chin causing Sasuke to roll on his back in surprise, �I'm trying,�
it was little more than a whisper and filled with insecurity but it had Sasuke giving
the roof he now looked up at a full blown smile.
The Uchiha lifted a hand from where it lay on the bed and
for a moment the blonde tensed which cause the ravens smile to vanish before he
placed it on top of Naruto�s head , tracing the weird sleeping cap he always
wore even on missions and occasionally running through messy blonde locks.
Naruto�s breath quickly evened out and all tenseness from
his body vanished and Sasuke wondered at the fact as to why he all of a sudden
to felt the heaviness of sleep that had been alluding him before Naruto came to
lay at his side but that thought disappeared as his eyes finally closed and he
was cuddled closer like a life size plushie before he followed his best friend
into restful oblivion.
