Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, nor any of the characters from it. I do not make any money from the writing of this story. |
I’m probably going to get a lot of abuse for my truly atrocious lack of updates on this story but all I can do is apologise. I’m sure everyone who writes gets writers block at some point and that is what happened with me, along with a severe case of depression. I’m still struggling with it now.
Well. I’m sure none of you want to hear any more excuses so here is the next chapter. I do hope that it is enjoyed. I have partially finished the next chapter too so that really should be up soon.
Another little Sasu/Naru scene going on here.
Read, enjoy and then tell me what you think.
PS I am writing for fun, not profit. I am as broke as broke can be!
AN INTERWOVEN WEB OF DECEIT
Chapter 17 - The Deceit Partially Identified
Tsunade tapped her fingers on the desk in front of her and glared at the person sitting on the other side of the desk. Neji stared back at her impassively.
“Are you sure of this?”
“Quite sure. He informed me himself about four days ago that he was still experiencing a pain in his head, the same place as before.” Neji looked down at his hands. “I checked and saw a leak of chakra above his eye. It seems that what you sealed has re-opened itself.
The Hokage sighed and ran a hand through her hair. “I told that brat to get his arse back here if it happened again. I’ll have to drag him in.”
“If I may ask,” Neji sat up straight, “what do you think that this leak could be?”
“Honestly,” Tsunade stared back at him, “I don’t know, but what I do know is that we need to get it fixed. A chakra drain is dangerous, even for someone with such a large pool of it like Naruto.”
He looked decidedly worried, Tsunade observed. It was understandable, considering how close he and Naruto had become in recent years. It seemed that it took his concerned friends to inform her when he had a problem since Naruto was closed mouthed when it came to himself. It was also nice to know that Naruto quite a few people around who cared about his well-being.
“I am assuming he hasn’t come to you about this himself yet!”
Tsunade shook her head.
“Then I’m glad that I told you.”
What was going on with Naruto? What happened to the boastful, lively blonde who invaded her life, demanding her recognition as the successor to her position. Tsunade was concerned.
.
“You’re dismissed Hyuuga.” she nodded at the young man in front of her. Neji stood up and made his way towards the door, but paused when Tsunade spoke again. “Also, if you see Yamanaka Ino on your travels today, could you tell her that I request her presence.”
Neji nodded and continued to make his way out of the room. As soon as he had stepped outside, Tsunade turned to Jiraya, ho was standing by the door.
“Well?”
“Well what?”
Tsunade leaned her chin on her hand and stared at the white haired man.
“Look, I know that you know more than your letting on you old pervert so out with it What is going on”
“I don’t know.” Jiraya turned to look at her. At this moment, I know as much as you do.”
A suspicious look was affixed on Tsunade’s face and Jiraya stared back questioningly.
“What?”
“You know that I don’t believe a word you’re saying right?”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s the truth.”
Jiraya walked over to the door and Tsunade growled at him.
“I know that you are hiding something from me old man, so you’d better start spilling the truth. You know what the problem with Naruto is, don’t you? I want to know.”
“I’m truly sorry Hokage-sama,” Jiraya gave a little bow, making Tsunade’s mouth drop to the desk in shock, “but I can’t tell you anything at this time.”
Before she could compose herself, the infuriating man had left her office and the door swung shut behind him. Tsunade growled again and let her forehead hit the desk with a bang.
She was reaching her limit with that man!

Sasuke span on his heel for what felt like the twentieth time that day and glared towards a blonde head that was slightly sticking out from the side of a house.. He had been feeling eyes on him for quite a while now and he was becoming sick of it.
“What is the problem?” Naruto groused, throwing his cup into a bin they were passing. “Why do you keep glaring in random directions?”
Naruto had been steadily avoiding him for the past couple of days, since Sasuke had his way with him in his living room. He was only with him now, because Sakura had dragged the both of them out, with complaints that they never spent time together any more. Sakura herself had been sending him questioning looks throughout the afternoon which he had yet to answer. Naruto, apart from the just asked question, had steadily ignored his presence and had happily conversed with Sakura, much to Sasuke’s chagrin. It seemed that Naruto wasn’t going to budge out of denial.
“Well?”
Sasuke decided that it was has his turn to do the ignoring and he turned to Sakura.
“How much longer do you intend to drag me around shopping?” he asked with a slight growl behind his words. “It has been five hours since I was dragged out of my house.”
“But Sasuke-kun,” she grinned back at him,” I thought you would enjoy a shopping trip with the person that you like.”
Sasuke glared at her and noticed as Naruto gave her a panicked look, then he began to walk faster, moving ahead of them slightly.
“Ino is watching.” Sakura’s voice was low.
“I noticed,” Sasuke replied dryly. “Care to tell me why?”
“Sasuke-kun!” Sakura put on a voice of exaggerated innocence and outrage of the accused. “Why would you even think that I had anything to do with it?”
Sasuke snorted, which only caused Sakura to grin wider.
“Well, I might have told her that watching Naruto’s closest friends would give her sharper insight and help her to understand her boyfriend and what interests him better.”
“What?”
“Oh come on Sasuke-kun,” Sakura stopped walking and stared at the black haired boy, hands on her hips. “I can’t give you an unfair advantage you know. Both you and Ino are my friends.”
“No, instead you set her to spying on me, leaving me less opportunities with him,” Sasuke growled.
“Which reminds me, what happened between the two of you?” Sakura asked curiously, turning the conversation around 180 degrees. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so ignorant of your presence.”
Sasuke glared at her and didn’t answer, causing an annoyed pout to form on her face.
“Come on Sasuke-kun. Please!”
“Since when have you acted like this?” Sasuke began walking again. Sakura followed behind him, her hands clasped behind her back.
“I’ve always been this way. It’s only you’ve never seen it before.” Sasuke stopped again and Sakura continued to walk past him. “I suppose it is partly my fault, putting on a sweet and innocent false front, hiding myself so I would impress you and get your attention.”
In front of them, Naruto had stopped and was looking into a shop window. Sakura continued to walk towards him and Sasuke reluctantly followed.
“Are you going to tell me anything?” she threw over her shoulder.
“No.”
“Could you at least tell me if you got further than just kissing him?”
“Yes.”
“Yes you can tell me or yes you did?”
“Both.”
“Can’t you give me more than one word answers?”
“Maybe.”
“Grrr.” Sakura stomped ahead, leaving Sasuke behind, grinning, but the grin didn’t last long as he stared at Naruto. Sakura had caught up with him and was staring intently into the window as well. Things were getting ridiculous. Naruto liked him more than friends. This had been confirmed. Unfortunately he still had Yamanaka to deal with and Sasuke didn’t want to incur Naruto’s anger by informing the girl that Naruto belonged to him. The best way to deal with that was to let her see for herself.
Sasuke grinned again as he felt Yamanaka’s eyes rest on him. This would be interesting.
****
Naruto was agitated. He had been feeling the same way since he had walked out of his apartment complex that morning at Sakura’s summons and found both her and Sasuke waiting for him. He had nearly turned around and went back inside but Sakura had grabbed onto him and berated him for taking so long, but Sasuke had just stared at him, his expression unchanging Throughout the entire shopping expedition, Naruto felt those eyes constantly on him and now, while he was staring into a shop window, leaving both of his ex-team-mates behind talking to each other, he still felt the eyes!
This was the first time that he had actually spent time with Sasuke, since That Night when he had left him asleep on his couch. That Night continued to re-surface in his memories in such a way, that it deserved the capitals. It still caused shivers to run through his body and he had woken up sweating and aroused in the middle of the night from the memory for the past couple of days, even though he could not remember what exactly he had dreamed about. Morning cold showers had been his recent ritual, trying to cool down his strangely overheated body.
He had never felt anything like this before. Sure, he had felt comfortable with Ino and experienced proper kissing through her, (the kiss in the classroom with Sasuke didn’t count,) even though it had felt wrong. He didn’t actually understand why kissing a girl felt wrong, considering boys and girls kissing each other was correct. In fact, he didn’t think kissing with guys was ‘all that’ either. He had felt nothing when Gaara kissed him, other than shock and embarrassment.
Sasuke was different. Sasuke’s kisses were different. That in itself was unsettling.
“What’s piqued your interest?”
Sakura placed a hand on his arm and leaned over his shoulder, staring through the glass at what had seemed to have caught his interest. It looked as if she had finished her conversation with Sasuke.
“Nothing much,” he sighed. “Just looking.” Sakura continued to stare into the glass, looking at his reflection, instead of at the sweets on display.
“Are you okay?”
Naruto stared back at her reflection curiously.
“I’m fine. Why do you ask?”
“You’ve been acting strangely lately, even for you.”
“I have?”
“You have. Do you want to talk about it?”
Naruto turned to face her directly, instead of her reflection and frowned.
“Talk about what? Sakura-chan, I’m fine. Really, there is nothing wrong with me.”
“Is it Sasuke-kun?”
Naruto was in the process of moving away from the shop. At Sakura’s words, he nearly tripped over his own feet.
“W… W… What are you asking?” He felt heat begin to infuse his face. Sakura grinned.
“So it was him! So, what did he do?”
“Nothing.”
“Liar,” Sakura pointed a finger at him, reminiscent of when they did the same thing to Kakashi, “he’s done something to you because you wouldn’t be reacting like this if he hadn’t.” She paused and her smirk grew wider. “Did he kiss you?”
“Sakura-chan,” Naruto nearly yelled, backing away from the malicious looking pink haired girl, his hands raised in a defensive position, “where are you getting this from?”
“Your reaction.” Sakura stalked him, forcing him to move backwards. “He did, didn’t he?”
In one way, Naruto was grateful when Sasuke appeared next to Sakura, finally deciding to catch them up although the glare from the black haired boy directed at her was such that it made him shiver slightly.
“Well, I’m done here.” Sakura’s voice wavered slightly but the smile was still on her face. She leaned towards Naruto and whispered in his ear, “go for it,” then skipped away when Sasuke moved forward, muttering about how she needed to see Shikamaru.
Naruto felt heat infuse his face and stared suspiciously after the retreating girl. Did she know something? If so, was she edging him on?
“What did she say?”
Sasuke asked him forcefully, not even watching as Sakura practically ran down the street away from them. Naruto looked up at the other boy to find him standing close. Too close.
“Not much.” Naruto turned away and began walking down the street, the opposite direction to the one the pink haired girl had taken. “Just her usual nonsense.” He had to get away from him. He didn’t trust staying close to the other boy in case he tried something strange again.
“Wait a minute.”
Naruto kept walking. He heard Sasuke’s footsteps get closer as he began to follow.
“Hey.”
“…”
“How much longer are you going to attempt to ignore me?”
Naruto ‘attempted to ignore’ that question and began to walk faster, reaching the end of the shopping district and turning out onto the wooded path. Sasuke was faster however. Naruto found his arm grabbed and then his back met with a tree after Sasuke had span him around and forced him backwards into the dense woods. His wrists were pinned against the bark on either side of his head by Sasuke’s hands. Naruto felt his heart begin to beat faster as the other boy drew his body nearer to his own.
“Goddammit Sasuke,” he muttered, glaring over the other boys shoulder, keeping his eyes averted purposely, “what do you think you are doing?”
“Getting your attention,” was the reply. Sasuke brought his face closer to Naruto’s, then turned so that his breath fell on his cheek, then ear. “I see it worked.”
“Okay, you’ve got my attention, so what do you want?” Naruto tried to growl the question out angrily, but it ended up sounding breathless and slightly husky, something he wasn’t going for. “And you can let me go now by the way.”
Instead of moving away from him, he felt Sasuke press himself closer, aligning their hips so that they were touching. Naruto couldn’t stop a gasp escaping his mouth, especially considering Sasuke had just ran his tongue along the outer shell of his ear.
“It’s you I want, so why would I let you go?” Sasuke whispered, then nibbled on his earlobe. Naruto attempted to clench his hands into fists at the sensation, then gasped when he felt a leg slide vertically against his own. “I’ve already told you this,” Sasuke continued, releasing his ear and moved over to his left hand. “It seems that I’ll have to tell you again.” He re-positioned his own hand on Naruto’s wrist, then began to suck at his pulse point, drawing the skin into his mouth
Naruto’s knees buckled. At this movement, his wrists were released and instead, Sasuke’s arms wrapped around his waist and pulled him towards his body. At the same time, pushing himself forward so that Naruto was still pressed against the tree. Finally finding his hands free, he had the option of attempting to push the other boy away or looping his arms around his neck and pulling him forward. He decided on a compromise against the two, grasping Sasuke’s top and holding him in place.
“You’ve got to stop this Sasuke,” Naruto gasped. He felt hands lift his top and then slide against the bare skin against his back.
“Why?” Sasuke breathed against his ear.
“We cant… I’m not… Ino…” Gentle kisses were placed against his jaw, preventing him from putting his point across.
“You tried this argument before Naruto. It didn’t work then. It wont work now.”
One of Sasuke’s hands slid downwards and slipped inside his trousers and pants, sliding a finger down the cleft of his backside. Naruto bucked upwards at the sensation, his body pressing against Sasuke’s, his mouth open in a soundless gasp. Sasuke took this opportunity to slide his tongue into his mouth, bringing to a alt all of Naruto’s objections. All he could focus on was the skin on skin contact and the tongue in his mouth. One of his hands gripped Sasuke’s shirt tighter while the other slid up until it was buried in black locks. Sasuke’s hand on his back tightened its grip around him and his other hand squeezed the flesh it was pressed against, his wayward finger pressing down.
Naruto’s inhibitions broke at that moment and he closed his lips slightly and sucked on the intruding tongue. This caused the raven haired boy’s grip on him to falter and Naruto used the last of his rational mind to break away and slip out of the slackened grip.
“Where are you going?” Sasuke growled. Naruto fisted a hand in his shirt and panted, nerves frayed to the maximum. Sasuke’s eyes were pitch black and glistening, staring at him with a look of such hunger that he audibly gulped.
“No more Sasuke, please.” Naruto whispered. His feelings were in a turmoil and he was close to diving back into the other boys arms, girlfriend be damned, he was still so turned on. He couldn’t do that to her though. He just couldn’t.
“Why do you keep lying to herself Naruto.” Sasuke leaned back against the tree he was recently pressed against. “You are lying to me and to Yamanaka as well. Is that okay with you? Are you okay with that?”
“I’m not lying to anyone,” Naruto whispered.
“You lie every time you push me away. You lie every time you smile while in Yamanaka’s presence. You walk around with a mask on every day, showing people how happy you are when you’re not. You say that you are happy when you are miserable. Everything you do while performing your act shows one person when in reality you are completely different.” Sasuke spoke quietly but Naruto felt the anger in his words. “You are an interwoven web of deceit Naruto and I can see right through you.”
“So why bother then?” Naruto raised his voice in frustration. “If you can see the real me, why are you even doing this?”
“Because the real you is the person that I want.”
Sasuke moved away from the tree and began to walk back towards the shopping district, not looking back. Naruto watched him go, unmoving from his spot.
“Sasuke…”
Sasuke turned back to him, a half smile on his face. He had his hands in his pockets, the wind blowing slightly, gently sifting through his hair. Naruto felt his heart begin to beat harder at the sight.
“Look Naruto,” Sasuke sighed. “I want you and I know that you want me. Sort this problem with Yamanaka out soon because I’m losing my patience with waiting.”
With this, Sasuke turned around and continued walking. Naruto had fallen silent at his last statement. He wasn’t sure what to think anymore.
