Home at last

Chapter 3: Tricksters and Seals

I quietly sit on the roof of Sasuke�s home. I can�t sleep� again. I guess that is because I�m so close to his person. That causes me to have dirty thoughts. I can go from innocently kissing him, to having sex with him in no time flat. I started fiddling with the necklace that Tsunade-baa-chan gave me. I wonder if she�s heard anything about the few from the Ashura clan in the village. �Uzumaki.� I snicker, I know that voice.

�You make good on you clam Gaara.� He took a seat next to me.

�So why are you going by that other name?� I�m surprised he asked.. But I can understand why.

�Mostly because I�m scared.� The redhead understood where I came from so he also knew why I was scared, so he asked no questions. �Maybe you know the reason why Ane came back so happy.� While I snickered, Gaara was smirking.
�Yeah, she made out with Meiba-san.� Panda eyes blink passively.. As if he was confused.

�Why did he accept her passes?�

�He knew she was meant for him.� Gaara glared. �The Ashura, can see who their life partner are, or a partner till death if you wish to use that.. Since sometimes either can die at any time.� He could only nod�

�So your mission was to get control?� I never knew Gaara could be so random. He skipped from one subject to the next. I guess I answered his last one.

�You can say that. But me Akahiko have an understanding. Now it�s kinda like a mother, son relationship.� To me the holder of Shukaku seemed.. Sorta shocked. As I grinned at him, he stared at my teeth�.. I guess he had noticed my canines. They are longer than normal now.. Like a fox heh. �We are merged.�
I looked up at the moon.. It�s so beautiful.

�How do they know?� Understanding what he meant I answered.

�They have a feeling about their visions.. And they knew me, from what happened 19 years ago� the ones who were old enough at the time did anyway.� I see the confusion in his face. I only chuckled. I was about the make my exit by the way of the window but he quickly spoke.

�Let�s spar.� Nearly falling down I quickly questioned.

�Why?� Now he grinned at me.

�I want to see your new tricks. I know you have been trained. You�re a lot stronger now.� Now how could I refuse a request like that. Your barrier of sand better watch out Gaara I�m a lot quicker than I look.

�Sure Gaara. I know the perfect place. Follow me.� Making my quickly for the gates, I jump from roof to roof. I know Gaara was following quickly behind. I made sure we were outside the gates and a good distance away from Konoha. �This should be far enough.�

�For what?�

�So hopefully they can�t feel our chakara.� He merely nodded. Interesting� I didn�t know there was a small forest where I took Gaara. I smirk knowingly.
*****(3^rd person POV)********
The sand Shinobi uncorked his gourd. �I�m ready, Uzumaki.� Naruto only smiled.

�So am I, Gaara.� Slipping off his jacket and placing it in a somewhat safe place, he cracked his neck.. �The jacket seems to hide.. Just how muscular Uzumaki is. Was that done on purpose?� Naruto took a stance. �Alright Gaara.� In an instant Naruto was gone. �Fast..� Gaara felt a kick at his shin. He looked to see Naruto grinning at him. Gaara knew as well as Naruto that he almost got threw Gaara�s shield with that one attack. He was merely warming up. The blonde went in for a punch but the other one dodged, at the last minute. Naruto went on the offensive, while Gaara did his best to get out of the way. Naruto was fast, almost too fast for Gaara. �Those Ashura, must be strong to train him to be that strong and that fast.� After one of the punches Gaara had noticed Naruto�s fist had left a good sized crater. �He�s barley using his chakara. Smart.�
Gaara started using his own chakara, making himself faster and summoning some of his sand. Unknown to Gaara the blonde had hidden something in the trees near by. As the fight progressed, kunai�s and shuriken�s got involved. Naruto thrusted downward with his while Gaara blocked. �Your good. But this this it?� Naruto grinned.

�No far from it Gaara. I�ve got more tricks up my sleeves.� The blonde angled his kunai against the other, and swiped it. Knocking the other off balance, which the red-head quickly regained. But when he did. Naruto had gone feral.
Gaara could hardly believe what he was seeing. Naruto had sprouted the demon fox ears, and nine flaming red tails. The blonde looked up at Gaara. He only smirked because if Naruto was angry at him. His eyes would have been flashing red. Which they weren�t. They were still their vibrate blue. Naruto walked circles around his rival, on all four�s. He was a predator, the other was his prey. His nine-tails, swirled about not willing to stop moving.
One of the red appendages, reached for Gaara, grabbing his ankle. Dragging him down into the laying position. When suddenly Naruto was caught, finally by Gaara�s sand. �I�ve got you now Uzumaki.� Getting up to pin the blonde, something jumped on the Shukaku container. Falling over again he saw the good sized fox on him. But it was no normal fox.

�I�ve got you Gaara-san.� The blonde was laughing as 8 other foxes made there way to pin the tanuki, down. He couldn�t get up.

�Get these dammed things off me!� (AN: I know Gaara�s a little OOC, but please work with me. He must have changed some over the past years.) He disengage his foxy appearance.

�Alright off Gaara now. The sparing match is over.� All 9 of Naruto�s foxes got off, crowding around him.
The other got up, and looked.

�Nice little trick. Got more tricks like that?� Naruto grinned.

�Well I can summon Akahiko, but that�s only if I really need too since she�s huge! And she can appear in a human form if she or I wishes.� Gaara curiously looked at the blonde. Then felt a hand on his shoulder.

�Hello, Tanuki.� Freezing, he looked at the woman behind him. She was really attractive.

�Meet Akahiko, or in other words Kyuubi. And of course the little foxes.� (AN: I�ve got a picture of Akahiko to. At least my view of what she would look like) The flame red haired woman walked over to her container. Her hair went to her shoulders. Gaara noticed the black markings around her eyes, as well has the red eyes.

�Let�s see.� Naruto picked up one fox, which all looked the same to Gaara. �This one is Haku.� While the vixen cut in holding another.

�This one is Ningyoo.� Now Gaara could tell the difference between those two. Ningyoo was smaller and had really big, innocent like eyes or in other words utterly adorable. Haku on the other hand was average, but had black fur on top of his head and brown eyes.
As Ningyoo was set down she hid behind Akahiko. Who only laughed. �she�s always been the nervous one.�

�blood, blood, blood, blood.� One chanted while the human foxes sweat dropped.

�That one is Chi�. He�s a little on the crazy side�.� Naruto mumbled. Chi instead of being flame red like his brothers and sisters was more of a blood red. One of the two biggest walked around Gaara. �That�s Kyuu. She�s the most like Akahiko.�

�Kyuu stop that, You�re going to drive him nuts.� Akahiko shook her head at the most vocal of the 9. �He�s like Naruto and Sasuke rolled into one.. And it�s madding sometimes�

�That�s�.Sasu.� Taking a closer look. Sasu had black eyes, and black and white fur on his head. He was obviously the biggest out of the pack.
One with frosty light blue eyes, spoke. �Mou�Stop being such a party pooper Sasuke. You�re such sour puss.� The blonde could only chuckle. �That�s Fuyu�

�Sasuke? You named..� He looked at the black eyed fox. �that after the Uchiha?�

�Don�t ask.� The sand Shinobi only shook his head.

�But why call him Sasu?�

�It�s his nickname Gaara-sama. So no one can get the two confused.� Ningyoo answered softly.

The vixen walked over to one with a scar over it�s right eye.

�This one is Jiko.� She petted him. Gaara finally noticed they all had nine tails.. But spoke nothing about it. But he did look over at the last two. They were sitting next to each other, they looked like each other but one had black fur, that was the design of a rose bud.

�N-�

�Rose bud there is Bara. Her like twin is Amai. Both are girls.

�I figured that.� The woman looked at the sky. �Kit it�s time to go it�s nearly dawn. Sayonara Tanuki.� With that the woman disappeared. Along with the little foxes but Sasu.

�Why keep him out?� the blonde could only shrug. He didn�t want to admit.. That this little fox reminded him of Sasuke� the person who he was in love with. Also he didn�t like picking favorites out of the nine.. But if forced to he would have to chose Sasu.
It almost felt the same with Sasuke, the emotions he felt. Just how he felt for the Uchiha could hardly be put into words. Thinking, hearing, seeing Sasuke was enough to drive him to lust and madness. His heart would always beat faster at a mere thought of the dark haired male. He had felt that ever since he thought Sasuke had died because of Haku at the bridge. But he didn�t know what it meant at the time. He was too young and naïveté to understand what he felt. Naruto always knew he had some sort of feeling for the cold young man. It was usually jealously for him being stronger and more popular with girls� The blonde shook his head. �I better go Gaara. I�ll see you another time.�

�Indeed. Another time Uzumaki.� With that the tanuki left Naruto in his thoughts. Well at least he use to be jealous because of that.. But when realized he was more interested in men that women, he understood what he�s feelings were towards his team-mate. Hard to describe but forced to he would say he was indeed in love with the Uchiha. And there was no denying it. Picking up his jacket Naruto left for the Uchiha mansion, he need to lay down for a short while.
*******elsewhere*******
A blonde, blue eyed woman walked to the flower shop. Her family owned it, and she usually ran it on her days off from being a ninja. She saw a dark haired young man by the door. �Shikamaru. What you are you doing here?�

�Waiting for you Ino.� Ino laughed. She and Shikamaru have been dating for quite awhile now. She had never been so happy. She opened the door as she smiled at her boyfriend, but frowned as she smelled something�. Disgusting. As she peeked in, she set her eyes on the rotting cadavers of fishes. Her eye twitched, she only knew of one person who could and would do this. Since the last time he spread fertilizer all over the shops floor. �NNAAARRRRUUUUTTTOOOOO!!!� Shikamaru looked in, and being lazy as always muttered. �how bothersome��
*****Iruka�s home*****
The Chuunin teacher sat up in bed upon hearing the shout �Naruto�. �Naruto? Could he be back?� Iruka�s dark eyes happened to fall onto his lover. Who was sleeping right next to him. Which only made the Chuunin smile. He was think about their relationship, as he got up. They had been together just a little before the blonde prankster left. He didn�t know until after then that the other man was utterly gorgeous. He didn�t understand just why he wore that dumb mask. The teacher shook his head. They both knew the reason why he left but the both of them were worried about the genin. Unfortunately or not.. Iruka did not noticed that Kakashi�s book which was on his dresser was now gone�..
As the Teacher opened his drawers, he spied the damage. He sighed. �That boy isn�t going to change is he?� What he saw was really nasty creepy crawlies in there. Then he saw something dangerous.. �EEK!� The male screeched, effectively waking Kakashi. Who had tumbled over side when hearing the noise.

�What�s the matter Iruka?�

�There is a deadly spider in my drawer, along with non-deadly kinds of spiders, beetles, and finally slugs.� He settled his forehead in hand, is when he noticed that the book was missing. �Kakashi?�

�Yes?�

�Didn�t you put your book up here last night?� This puzzled the Jounin.

�Yes but why do you a-�

�I�m asking because it isn�t here anymore.� That one eye when wide in shock.

�WWHAATT?!� Iruka laughed as his lover went searching for his book, in the bed room. �Well at least Naruto did a good prank for once. Taking the perverse Icha Icha Paradise book, and hiding it somewhere�.. So hopefully Kakashi won�t find it ever again.� The so said jounin was now rushing to get clothes on so he could go outside to search for his precious books, which were second to Iruka. �I�ll see you later Iruka. Bye� Slapping a quick kiss to Iruka�s cheek, Kakashi dashed out. The Chuunin was now in full blown guffaws. He couldn�t help it. Kakashi was being so amusing.
*****With Tsunade*****
Godaime didn�t want to get up. But with the shout of �Naruto� hanging in the air. She forced herself to do so. �What has the brat d-� Pausing in mid thought, as she felt something on her foot. Looking down she saw that it was ramen paste. All around her bed. She was pissed now. �He is going to pay for this�� It was then she saw a dash of blonde hair outside her window. She rushed over, and opened it but saw and heard nothing. No orange�. None of his laughter. Nothing.
*****On a roof not so far away*****
Uni and �Naruto� were laughing their backsides off. �That was great!� �Naruto� said. He cut off Henge no jutsu and turned back into Tenkou.

�I agree Tenkou.� she spoke still somewhat laughing.

�Getting up early was worth seeing those expressions on their faces.� The two lay on the roof still laughing. Until they could no more.

�What do you think Naruto-kun will do to us when he finds out.� Her twin could only shrug at the consequences that would happen to them when the taller teen did find out what they had done. He stood.

�We better be getting back.� there was a serious look on his face. The two rushed off back to there current residents, in Konoha.
*****half hour later******
Sasuke walked down the hall, bed sheets in hand. He hadn�t the time of day to get them washed last night. He silently thanked who ever he saw fit to spare his mattress from the crap that covered him last night. �The only person I know who would do it would be Naruto. That Dobe� But he was thankful because he knew Naruto was somewhere. He just didn�t know where. He sighed heavily as he passed what was for the moment Kazan�s room. As he passed and glanced at him past the open door. Continuing on his way, but he suddenly stopped in mid-step, and went back and stared at the site he saw. The tall blonde was standing in his room, looking out the window. Naked from the waist up. Sasuke couldn�t help but stare at the muscles. �He never looked so muscular before.. But now without the jacket�. and shirt he does.� The Uchiha shook his head. �no no NO. I love Naruto� but do I have feelings fo-� A sonorous voice cut threw his thoughts.

Through the darkness

I can see your light

And you will always shine

And I can feel your heart in mine

Your face I've memorized

I idolize just you

I look up to

Everything you are

In my eyes you do no wrong

I've loved you for so long

And after all is said and done

You're still you

After all

You're still you

Naruto still staring out the window, placed his hand on the clear glass. While Sasuke dropped he sheets, and walked into the room. He was mesmerized by the blonde�s singing voice.

You walk past me

I can feel your pain

Time changes everything

One truth always stays the same

You're still you

After all

You're still you

I look up to

Everything you are

In my eyes you do no wrong

And I believe in you

Although you never asked me to

I will remember you

And what life put you through

And in this cruel and lonely world

I found one love

You're still you

After all

You're still you

Naruto�s eyelids closed as he finished. He had thought about the Sasuke the whole time never noticing the brunette was right beside him. The Uchiha had no idea what possessed him to do so or why. But he went along with his train of thought. Putting his hands around the taller teens neck, he pulled him into a passionate kiss. Something he had longed to do with his blonde dobe.
***********
I felt hands around my neck as I finished singing. The hell? I was about to open my eyes when I was pulled into a kiss. My eyes open and widen. For the second time in my life I�m kissing Uchiha Sasuke. This time like the last there isn�t much I can do. I don�t want him to know I�m attached to him. But I feel my resolve slipping away from me. I gently press my lips against his, its so light I don�t think he notices. He pulls away. Looking at him. He�s horrified.

I only smiled. �That was interesting. Haven�t really been kissed consensually before. Accidentally yes.� His aghast looked calmed a little.
�Y-you don�t mind? I didn�t really mean to.� I shook my head.

�You thought I was someone else right?� He nodded. I wonder who�� could it actually have been me?

�Who?� He doesn�t answer�. I guess he must be embarrassed, but I�m scared that it isn�t me. �Well answer me this at least. Is this person male or female?�

�male�� he slowly answered. I only shrug� At least I have a chance with him. I unknowingly begin to play with my necklace, it�s a habit I�ve always done since I�ve gotten it. Apparently Sasuke noticed. �Where did you get that?�

I paused in my actions. Looking at him, I get wistful.

�A friend gave it to me. A important friend.�
I watched as he got closer to me. Thankfully he hasn�t noticed the insignia on my arm. But he does notice the former seal on my stomach. What has changed about it is that it�s permanently on my body. Before it would only show when I used my chakara. But since we merged it�s now forever there. The design is mostly the same, with the exception that the spiral end looks like a fox tail. �What is this Kazan?� He about to touch it when I back away from him.

�I-It�s a marking. I�ve had it since I was born.� Thankfully it�s mostly truth. He moved to try and touch it. While I properly back up again. He frowned and tried to pin me somewhere. Damn he�s determined to touch my seal. And I�m determined that he won�t. I�ve come to the conclusion that if Sasuke touches it I will be come hot and bothered. I�ve had many dreams of where Sasuke has touched, kissed, etc. and when I woke up. I could still feel his fingers, his lips and it got me completely aroused. So I really don�t want to jump him. I rather him do it when were in a romantic relationship.
He chased me for a good 20 minutes, trying to touch it. This is a side I never saw. And he one hellva curious bundle. Good lord Sasuke. I really wanna go outside, find a stream and take a bath. I stink, because my sparing match this morning. I was distracted for only 3 seconds with that thought. It was enough time for Sasuke, to touch it. I became stiff, as a board. Shit, shit, shit. I squash the moan that wants to pop out of my throat. He ran his palm across it. Oh please, somebody ANYBODY GET ME OUT OF THIS!!!! Sasuke is torturing me and he doesn�t even realize it. �Kaza- oh�..� I look to see the male twin. THANK YOU GOD!
Grabbing my jacket, shirt and some extra clothing. I pull away from Sasuke�s hand. �F-forgive me Sasuke. I have some things to do. Excuse me.� Damn. My voice was a little to hoarse for my comfort. I rush out and into the hallway. FAR away from my room. Panting I slid down the wall. �Something wrong?�

�Yeah, Sasuke touched my seal.� I spoke as I put on my shirt. Meiba-san choked. He knows I�m gay, and what happens when HE touches it.

�Sorry about that.� I shook my head, as I stand back up.

�First he sees me like that, then hears me singing. Then he kisses me. I wonder what was going threw that�� I take a breather to think on what type of mind he has. �that fucked up mind of his.�
I looked at Meiba-san as I finish. He has a look saying, �I must speak with Sasuke later.� I know I won�t stop him from doing so. Situating my jacket on me. I go to pick up my clothes. If you�re wondering why I want to take a bath in a stream is.. Well really simply really. I don�t want Sasuke, around me. I really have bad thoughts sometimes when I�m bathing. And I blame Jiraiya somewhat for my current thought process, when it comes to something like this. �Go get Sasu, and get going. Don�t delay or you really might jump him.� I nod softly, quickly making my way out. Sasu was right behind me on the rooftops.
As I make my way, I notice a small group gathering consisting of Ino, Shikamaru, Iruka-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, Sakura-chan� and Tsunade-baa-chan. I stop to listen to there conversation. �Well I had Ramen paste on the floor and I stepped in it.�

�I had it worst.� Ino spoke. �He put dead fish in the flower shop.� what the?! My eye twitches. Those two� I heard Iruka-sensei laughing.

�This is my favorite one Naruto did. He took Kakashi�s books.� I snicker as Kakashi-sensei glares at Iruka-sensei. �But I�m not happy he put bugs in my drawers.. Including a dangerous spider.�

OH THAT DOES IT! I punch the roof I�m on with all my anger. �HOW DARE THOSE TWO, USE MY FORMOR PRANKS FOR THEIR�S. I�M GOING TO-� It was then I realized I was screaming. And acknowledging just who I really was. I curse, as I run before they can catch a glimpse of me. I know they turned to the sound of my voice. I was really pissed they put my beloved teacher in possible danger. I hear footsteps behind me. Wait a sec what happened to Sasu? Ah shit� It has to be Kakashi-sensei and Shikamaru trying to follow me. I grin. This should get them off my back. In an blink of an eye I duck down into and ally. And create a kage bunshin, but I had it with just blonde hair, and no face and it wore nothing I did and it was much shorter than me. It would give me away to easily if they caught it. I sent it up, while I stayed in the ally. I could see that the clone gave them the finger while it�s back was to them and ran off. I walk out of the ally, grinning my little face off as I watched them chase it down. That thing�s got enough chakara to last it about�� 4 hours. I put that much into it just in case.
I make my way to find a stream. I find one that�s a fair distance away from Konoha. Perfect. I strip down, setting my dirty clothes on the grass. I slowly enter the water. It�s not as a cold as I first thought. It�s pleasantly warm. I sigh while sinking into it. I wonder how those two are doing with the doppelganger I sent. I snicker at the reaction possible reaction, they are going to have. I think I�m going to soak here, for awhile. I need to� calm down. I suddenly felt something on my head. �Where did you run off to?�

�I hid, then I followed your scent.� Jeez this fox is a genius like Sasuke.

�At least they didn�t find you.�
*****At Sasuke�s house some time later (3^rd person POV)*****
Meiba took a stroll down to Naruto�s room where the blonde had left Sasuke. The dark haired male looked in. Sasuke was still there. �Sasuke-san.� The Uchiha looked at his elder.

�What is it?� The pale man looked around shortly.

�Is there a place where we can talk?� The Uchiha nodded and took the other to the lake. The two stood silently for awhile.

�What did you want to talk about?�

�I was wondering why you kissed Na-Kazan� The older one hoped that the Uchiha didn�t notice his near slip up. Looking over he saw the brunette, blushing. �I guess he didn�t notice. Thank god.�

�I thought he was someone else.� the 21 year old thought about it for a second. Then he remember what he heard this morning.

�You mean this Naruto-kid someone was screaming about this morning?� The Uchiha�s eyes when wide. And quickly looked down at the slightly short man. Meiba knew he wanted elaboration. �Someone thought it nice to scream out this kids name, early in the morning.�

Surprise was etched on his face. �N-naurto�s home?� This brought a gentle smile to the young man�s face. �So, you thought Kazan was, this Naruto.� The brunette nodded. �I least his admitting it.� �Why are you attracted to this boy.�

�I guess because�. We are so much alike yet so different. He was always so happy, while I was not. But I could always tell there was something more to him.� Meiba chuckled.

�Everyone wears some type of mask.� The stoic young man didn�t understand what the heck he was talking about. �I wear one, you wear one. It�s just invisible. There�s is a mask of indifference, lust. There is a mask for every type of emotion. The most clever one is the mask of happiness.�

�Why is that, Meiba?� The older young man thought about it for a little while.

�Well, the person who use it is usually pretty clever. The people who I have encountered, who used it. Usually pretend to be a clumsy moron. But sometimes they do have there true moments of screwing up.�
This made the Sharingan user think. �Was Naruto as dumb as he put on?�

�What else?� Meiba knew why he asked.

�Well with this particular mask, the user amplifies a few things. They of course are naturally vivacious, but they get more annoying and loud. Then they actually are. And tended to hide loneliness, their intelligence, and something�. Very dangerous a lot of the time. They have things to hide from others in fear of hatred.� �what could Naruto be hiding. What can he hide?�

�Was this Naruto of yours, hated?�

�Yes. Most of the villagers would give him cold looks. But it never seemed to bother him at all.�

�Yes of course it didn�t. He became cold to such things. People like that, usually strive to be acknowledged, by others. And if they don�t get acknowledged in time they can turn out very bad. They would kill because they think that�s the only reason they exist in this life, is to kill. It isn�t very often they can be saved from that path. It takes a very strong person to do so. Someone has been down that path. Who knows what it�s like.�
Sasuke was almost in tears. �So that�s the reason he played pranks all the time. Was for any type of recognition. If he was who he truly was.. What was the point he had no one to go home too. Utterly alone.� But Sasuke smiled.

�He knew exactly� how Gaara felt�. He steered that sand boy off that path. While I knew nothing. I still don�t.� Meiba could see how this was eating the boy up from the inside. �Did you recognize him as someone?� This got a reaction.

�Of course I did! He is my rival. He was my team-mate. I care about him. I love him.� To Sasuke�s surprise this got shock look on the usually neutral, blank face of Meiba. The short one turned to look at the water. �You should tell him.�

�WHAT?!� This earned the boy a soft smile.

�You never know. He could love you back. You gave him something he yearned for. So naturally he cares about you. Along with anyone else who gave him that something.�

�You smiled�.�

�I hide my emotions, like you do. Except my whole family wasn�t slaughtered, by my brother. I only have cousins. I am an only child. But I do care for my family. Even if I don�t show it all the time.�

�Even Kazan? He told us tha-�

�I know what he told you. And yes. He may be have been adopted into our family. But we all love him. As much as we would lo-�
It was then Kakashi entered with a blond, managing to him to the ground. �Finally, after an hour of chasing this little bugger we caught him.�

Meiba had bit his tounge to smother his choke of laughter. �Alright Naruto, you are going to tell use wh-.. AAAHHHH DAMMIT!� The 34 year old shouted when he saw that it was only a bunshin without a face. Shikamaru soon came and saw clever bunshin.

�What a bother.�

�He distracted us with this bunshin while he got away. He�s gotten good.� Sasuke stared at the blanked face bunshin.

�Why?�

�He�s still scared. What else would he do use a bunshin to get away.� With that the elder Ashura left. He had to meet Temari soon. The three jounin could only stare at the retreating back.

�What the hell was that about?�

�Nothing Kakashi. Nothing.� It was then the bunshin vanished in a puff of smoke.
*****Back to Naruto (1^st person POV)*****
I finally get out of the water, I make sure I get far away from my clean clothes. Then I start to shake off the water. Like I was a dog or something. Or in this case a fox. But I got my little Sasu wet. �Naruto-san stop that!� I snickered as I stopped. He was pissed at me now. He doesn�t really like water� at least when I dry off and it gets on him.

I picked up my clean pair of things, and started putting them on. As I was getting my shirt on I heard.

�What the hell?� I turn with my shirt about my arms. AH Damn it just had to be that pervert. I frown at him as I start to lift the shirt above my head. He apparently spotted Shodaime�s necklace. Since he shouted. �Naruto is that you?!�
As a vein started throbbing in my head I shouted. �Who the fuck else would have this necklace. You blasted pervert!� Thrusting the shirt down over the necklace, I grab my jacket. It was then the hermit, took me in a bone-crushing hug. �My god you�re a giant, and you look just like your father.�

�I figured that Ero-sennin� That got a vain in his head to throb, always has.

�Brat.� It was then he finally let me go. �Does anyone else know?�

�Gaara. And the people I�ve been staying with for the past five years. Other than that no. I�ve been going by the name of Ashura Kazan.� Being able to my jacket on. I did so while he gaped at me like a fish. �What?�

�You were with them?! The fortune telling and demon fusing clan?!�

�Yes. They have taught me much.� I turn to face him, my earring flickered. Which Jiraiya caught sight of.

�So you�re a part of the clan.�

�Duh. Other wise I wouldn�t be using the Ashura name. Kankimi-san gave it to me. The day I became of age, in the Ashura eyes.�

�So I bet they told you?�

�Yes. My father Yondaime Takeshi, and my mother Kin. And I know father died for everyone even me�. My mother died giving birth to me.� I noticed he was dying to ask me something, as I picked up Sasu.

�Did you perfect Rasengan?�

�You bet I did. I don�t need a clone to do it now. I can have one in each hand. Took me a long hard year to do it but I did it.� I looked at Sasu. �You can go now. I won�t be needing you for awhile. Little one.�

�Hai Naruto-san� Sasu disappeared in a cloud of smoke to appear another day.

�What the hell was that?�

�That was Sasu. I can summon, demon like foxes now. I have merged with Kyuubi. That is all you need to know�. And.�

�And what Naruto?�

�Don�t tell anyone what I look like.�

�Why?�

�I want to show myself to them. Then get the crap kicked out of me since I�ve been here for a few days.� Jiraiya chuckled.

�Just the same, as I remember.� I shook my head.

�The way I was then was somewhat of an act. I�m not that clumsy dobe anymore. I never truly was.� I grab my other pair of clothes, then disappear like Kakashi-sensei use to in a cloud of leaves.
************
I appear near the gates, and sneak in. I�m more miserable, than just few minutes ago. I�m pissed, at least I�m not sexually frustrated anymore. I sigh. I want to break something. But I don�t want to hurt anyone. It was then I spied Temari and Meiba-san. She was grasping onto his arm.

�. Sasuke�.. She took of his glasses. I�m surprised, he doesn�t let anyone do that. She kisses his cheek.

�.. Sasuke�.. �So you know that I was meant for you.�

�Yes. I�ve known for a little while now. I knew I would meet you here.�

�I�m glad. That means no one can take you away from me.�

�Unless you die or I do.� She smirked smartly at Meiba-san.

�..Sa..su..ke�.

�I won�t let that happen anytime soon.� He smiled sweetly at her.

�I can see you won�t be dying anytime soon. And neither will I.�

�So� when will I meet this Yorukage?�

�Soon enough Temari.� It was then she grabbed his collar and kissed him. I lean back into the wall, grasping my face. I feel the tears running down my face. Sasuke. He is my everything. What would I be without him. Nothing�. A BIG FAT NOTHING!
I left for everyone I cared about. But it was mostly for Sasuke. Everything I usually do revolves around him. I�m crying like a baby right now. How can I possibly face everyone, everything. With this fear I have. I have strived for everything I have. But was it worth it? Was all this pain and suffering I caused worth it. Do I even amount to anything� anymore. Just what am I? Does anyone even care? That�s when Akahiko gave me a mental slap on the head.

-Stop it, just stop it. You amount to something. You will be Hokage. Everyone one you ran into so far has missed you! I know for a fact that Sasuke is missing you. Stop moping about because your afraid that they will hate you because of me� and the fact you don�t know if Sasuke likes you like that.- Akahiko is right. Even if Sasuke doesn�t feel that way towards me�.. I will always feel the way I do for him. When the time is right, I will bare my soul to him. I�ll tell him everything. I just pray he will care for me no matter who I am. Hopefully he�ll like me for me.
�Kazan?�

�huh?� I looked up, I saw the object of my fantasies.

�Are you alright?� I could see the worry in is eyes. Even if he didn�t show it in his face or voice. I smile the best I can. Putting on my old mask to cover up what I was truly feeling.

�I�ll� be alright.� Sasuke suddenly offered me his hand. I took it and he helped me up, I didn�t even realize I had slithered down the wall into a sitting position.

�Glad to hear it. But where have you been?�

�No where special Sasuke.� Which abruptly reminds me, I have to get back at those twin�s. But what to do, what to do� I know I�ll tickle them to death. They are extremely ticklish. I wonder if Sasuke is. But I�ll worry about that later. If and when we become a couple.

�Let�s get going.�

�Alright, Sasuke.� I�d go anywhere, and do anything for you Sasuke. For I love you. As I always will.

Disclaimer: I�m still a student so don�t take these to heart most of them maybe wrong.
Baa-chan: means grandma. Other writers often use it for Naruto�s affection for Tsunade. And something to annoy her with *grins*
Godaime- the fifth Hokage
kage bunshin no jutsu- Shadow clone tech (kage=shadow, bunshin=clone)
Yondaime- the fourth Hokage
Ero-sennin- Ummm I sorta remember what this means. Something like perverted hermit� I think What Naruto always calls Jiraiya in the manga and anime.
Rasengan- Don�t know what it exactly means but it�s a ninjutsu that the fourth created (I think it�s been awhile since I read the manga) and perfected. He taught it to his former Sensei; Jiraiya who then taught it to Naruto *chuckles*
Sorry about taking so long to do this chapter. But good things come to those who wait. I hope you all liked this chapter even thought Naruto had the bit of the blues, and was really bring himself down. And I do not own the song 'you're still you' by Josh Groban. As always please leave a review and criticism will and shall be accepted and noted. Flames well, I can�t help those just use them to spur me on with this I hope to be (or possibly not) short ficcy. Praise, will be drooled over. Thanks to all my readers. Later
