AN: Hello everyone!! as always, thank you for all the reviews.. I read every one at least three times..hehe.
CHAPTER 3 :
"But Baa- saaan! I'm telling you its getting worse."
The Hogake sighed, wondering whether closing her eyes would block out Uzumaki's constant whine.
"Are you even listening to me?" His voice was suddenly sharp.
"You should be grateful that I put away everything for this meeting, brat." The brat hadn't turned up the last four times she had ordered him to.
"Didn't you hear me? I almost attacked-"
"Haruno, I know," the Hokage interrupted, raising her palm for him to stop.
Naruto barely suppressed a growl. He hadn't slept for days. He was worn out and exhausted, on top of which he had confined himself to his apartment in fear that he might hurt his friends and the woman in front of him wore an almost indifferent expression on her face.
"Don't look at me like that, Uzumaki," she snapped, opening her eyes to glare at him.
"Well then do something! I'm going crazy here!" Naruto fumed.
The Hokage sighed again, her large bosom heaving with displeasure,
"What exactly do you want me to do?" She asked, leaning back into her chair and raising her eyebrow at the man in front of her. The blue eyes widened at her response and blond hair shook in anger as he leaned forward,
"I want you to fix it! That's your job isn't it?" He said, barely suppressing his irritation. "Do something about the 's getting out of control."
The Hokage narrowed her eyes, "I cant do anything about the Kyuubi, only you can."
Naruto clenched his fist. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"If you stop shouting maybe you'll let me explain," she snapped.
"Fine!" he said, folding his arms over his chest and leaning back into his chair, "I'm listening."
"You're telling me that this is the first time your heat has lasted for so long?"
"It's not a heat," Naruto said, hating the word.
"For gods sake brat, don't be so sensitive -"
"I'm not sensitive-"
"Do you want me to help or are you going to act like a child all day?" She asked, her patience running thin. Naruto's eyes flashed for a moment but he remained silent.
"Good," she said, glare still in place. "Now like I said before, since this is the first time your need has lasted this long, we should first look at what was different this time."
"Nothing was different. I've spent loads of these times in Konoha, its still never lasted so many days.'
"How long has it been?"
Naruto slumped a little in his chair as he answered, "Two weeks."
The Hokage's eyebrow twitched, "Really?"
"Yes! Now can we get on with this?" He was beginning to regret ever coming to her for advice.
"Okay, so let's recount what you did before it started."
Naruto sighed, "I was on that mission, you know the sound one? And mid way-"
"Wait a minute," Tsunade interrupted, her voice rising, "You went for that one?"
Naruto blinked, realising a little too late what he had let slip, "Err..I-"
"When did you return?" she asked, her voice dangerously low. Naruto winced, that tone of hers was worse then her yelling.
"On the 14th", he replied quietly.
The pencil she was holding snapped .
"14th? ARE YOU STUPID, BOY? YOU KNOW VERY WELL THAT YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR IT BY THE 12TH!"
"I tried ok?" Naruto said, annoyed at her reaction.
"I told you to go only if you were sure! You didn't need-"
"Well I did," he said, irritation bubbling at the old woman's anger, "and blaming this on me is not helping-"
"Err, Hokage sama?" A small voice asked.
"What?" both of them snapped, turning to the door.
Sakura, to her credit, didn't even flinch,
"Erm...we had a meeting scheduled for now?"
Tsunade unclenched her fist, "I'm a little busy at the moment Haruno, as you can see." She threw Naruto a scowl.
Sakura coloured slightly, "Gomenasai. Ill come later." Tsunade nodded, waiting before the door was closed before turning back to Naruto. He looked a little calmer now, as if Sakura's presence had reminded him why he was here.
"You must accept responsibility for your mistake Naruto," she said, a little glad herself of the interruption. A combination of both their tempers was not a wise thing to witness.
"I do," he sighed, rubbing at his forehead which had started to ache a little. "But what I don't understand is why waiting for just two days affected me so badly."
"What happened after you reached Konoha?" she asked.
"Well, I headed straight for the red light district. The road was pretty much deserted except for these women who were out shopping."
"Anyone else?"
"Sasuke," he answered, feeling uneasy as the alien feelings of that day bubbled to the surface .
"What's the matter?" Tsunade asked, tilting her head curiously.
"Nothing," he lied. "I was with him only for a few minutes, then I saw the turning and after that…," he trailed off, gesturing vaguely with his hands.
"And the day you met Sakura?"
"It was supposed to be the first day after,' he said. "I felt absolutely normal but when I saw Sakura, something…happened."
Naruto paused, not wanting to elaborate any further. This whole thing was giving him a head ache.
"Have you met any of your other friends? Especially female kuinichi?" The Hokage asked.
"Err… Ten Ten was in my Anbu group. But I didn't react the way I reacted with Sakura or- " Naruto stopped, suddenly aware of whose name he had been about to say. Sasuke. No. No way in hell was was he going to admit something like that to Tsunade baa san. Ever.
"What's the matter Naruto?" Tsunade asked, her eyes boring into the man in front of her. "Sakura or whom?"
Naruto felt a heat around his collar, and he knew that a slight blush was starting to stain his cheeks. Oh god, Tsunade was going to force an answer out him..
"Brat, if you don't tell me the truth, I won't be able to help you," she said, firmly. Though, from what Naruto had just said and his sudden change in body language, she didn't think it was hard to figure out who the other person was. She almost smiled, albeit maliciously. She wondered how the Uchiha would react when he found out that he might be the object of a very horny demon vessels affection. She snorted.
"What's so funny?" Naruto asked, angry. But Tsunade knew that it was just anger brought on by denial and guilt.
"You shouldn't be embarrassed about your feelings brat," she said as gently as she could.
Naruto's face coloured, "I'm not embarrassed! And this isn't me, remember? It's the Kyuubi."
Tsunade raised an eyebrow, "If it was the Kyuubi, then you would have felt the same thing when confronted with other male members of your Anbu team, Tenten, or even those women who you met on the way to the whore houses."
Naruto sighed, "But why is this happening now? I've met Sasuke when I was like this before. Nothing ever happened."
"You've only met him when your heat" (Naruto glared at her), " – err need was sated and secure. This time, you met both Sasuke and Sakura after waiting for three days."
Naruto was silent and Tsunade shrugged, "Well, my theory is that you react badly only when you come in contact with someone you have feelings for."
"I have feelings for you. How come I don't feel like jumping you?" Naruto asked, a slight challenge in his laughed,
"That's because you only react to someone you're also attracted to, brat."
Naruto looked slightly pale at the implication. The Hokage lips twitched, reading his thoughts, "He is a very beautiful person. Lot's of people are attracted to him."
"That's because most people don't know him from the inside," he snapped. "So this thing isn't going to stop untill I," he paused. "Sleep with someone I consider as a potential longterm partner?"
Tsunade nodded, "The whore's haven't helped have they? They might satisfy you but the heat hasn't stopped and the Kyuubi makes trouble only with certain people. I think he's trying to guide you."
Naruto paled, "I think prefer Sakura- chan."
Don't be stupid. Sakura is engaged," Tsunade warned.
"So what?" he said, but after a moment he groaned. "You're right, she's off limits but you're wrong on one thing. I'm not attracted to the teme. That's not possible."
Tsunade sighed, "Naruto…"
"No Baa -chan," he said stubbornly, "I'll find someone else."
"Really? like who?" She was starting to get tiered of this. Why couldn't he just be honest with himself?
"Like – like Hinata! She's always had a thing for me right?" Tsunade narrowed her eyes at the sly smile that Naruto was sporting. People really underestimated him sometimes.
"Do what you like," she said, going back to pretending to read a file. "But remember one thing – if you don't find someone that calms your need down permanently, it will keep getting worse and worse."
Naruto nodded, feeling a little more in control . This would be easy. After all, seeing how Sakura had reacted to him the other day, seducing someone else would be piece of cake. He grinned, Baa- chan was wrong on this one. If Sasuke was the one who he was supposed to be with, how come he hadn't responded to him like Sakura had? It was perfectly logical. He would go meet his friends and if he felt anything remotely like the heat coming on to him, he would leave, but at least he would know which one of them would be able solve his problem for him.
Sasuke was bored. Bored and restless. He lay on prickly grass, hands folded behind his head and stared at the stars spread out before him. If he had been in the right mood, he might have even called the bruised, midnight sky beautiful, but today that wasn't the case. He didn't really fully understand why he felt so restless, but he gathered that it had something to do with the dobe and he realized he did not like this feeling at all.
Usually he and Naruto made it a point to train with each other when not on missions and this had not happened for almost a month. This was despite Naruto being in Konoha for the last few weeks. He had tiered himself out thoroughly by training by himself and had even tried sparring with that half clothed maniac, Sai. However that had turned out to a disaster he'd rather not think about.
Sasuke had never really made any effort to see Naruto once he was back from missions. He frankly didn't need to. The dobe would announce his arrival loudly enough, and they would meet at the training grounds since both preferred to train early since that day, almost a month ago, when Naruto had disappeared on him, he hadn't seen or heard anything about the loud mouthed dobe and as much as he hated to admit it, he was starting to get a little concerned. Well not concerned as such, but still, Sasuke had gotten used to constant pestering of the blond and even though the absence of it was not altogether a bad thing, Sasuke decided that today he was going to do something about it. After all, when he didn't have his usual sparring partner, his own skills tended to suffer too.
With this comforting rationalization in mind, Sasuke stood up, brushing the little pieces of grass from his hair and made his way to Naruto's apartment. He would definitely find out what was wrong with dobe today, if it was the last thing he did.
Sasuke stood outside Naruto's apartment building, wondering why in hell he was hesitating. This was the dobe's apartment, he had been here a few times before, but then, why was he feeling a little uneasy? Squashing his doubts, he decided that the door wasn't an option. If Naruto was avoiding him for some reason then he obviously wouldn't answer the door.
He quietly jumped to the ledge outside the bedroom window, making sure he hid his chakra. He kneeled under the open window, looking around to make sure no nosy neighbours were spying on him. He lifted his head a little, straining to hear something that would tell him whether Naruto was awake or asleep. The only thing he could hear, however, was the fluttering of the hideous orange curtains that the dobe had hung around his window.
He contemplated using his Sharingan but then that would mean revealing his chakra. So Sasuke, ignoring the flutter of unease in his gut, in one graceful leap landed quietly on the floor of Naruto's bedroom. He tensed, ready to be pounced on by an indignant and angry Naruto but he soon realized that he was alone in the room.
Surprised, he tip toed to the door and opened it to peek into the sitting cum kitchen to see that it was empty too. Feeling both relieved and disappointed at the same time, Sasuke decided he might as well do some turned back to face the bedroom, activating his Sharingan, now that he knew it was safe to. The room was bearably neat and simple. Next to the window was the bed, covered by crumpled (orange, really dobe!) bed sheets and a blanket, on the right were two chairs standing neatly with their backs to the wall, with a few folded clothes resting on them and on the left was a dresser on top of which several framed pictures were kept. Nothing out of the ordinary. Except for the fact that it was two in the morning and the dobe wasn't home.
Of course, Sasuke reasoned, there could be many reasons for that. He may have just left for a mission in the evening, or he may be out in a pub with that annoying dog boy or the lazy Nara or he might just be out with a girl. Feeling a little stupid and disgruntled and not at all used to it, Sasuke decided that he would check the bathroom just to be sure. He swung open the door and inspected the bathroom. It was white and a little wet but what struck Sasuke was the smell. His nostrils flared as he recognized the musky reek. Grimacing, he shut the door with a dull thud. Disgusting, he thought. If the dobe was going to jerk off so often, then he should at least try to get rid of that suffocating smell.
He looked around the room once more and his eyes fell on the pictures on the dresser. He paused, unsure, before quickly making his way to the cluttered top and inspecting the pictures that stood there. The biggest frame was of him, Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi, as team 7. The nostalgia made him smile slightly.
Another picture was of Naruto and Sakura, one of Temari, Gaara and Naruto , another of himself when he was in the detention centre behind bars, scowling with Naruto and Sakura on the outside grinning at the camera on either side of him. There were at least half a dozen others with various people and Sasuke sighed, trying to ignore the slight ache in his chest. Stupid, sentimental dobe he thought. He didn't see the point of photographs, they were just painful reminders of what he had had, and what he stood to lose. The first thing he had done after his brother had destroyed his family was to burn all the pictures he had of him. He had kept a few photographs of his family though, and had put them up in the sitting room so he could look at them everyday and never forget. Each photograph had been like a tiny hook attached to his heart, pulling at him, taunting him and reminding him of his revenge and what he still had to do. After Itachi had died , he had stored all the photographs, except one of his parents, in a box and hidden it in a small closet. He didn't think he would ever have the courage or strength to look through them again.
Feeling more than a little gloomy, Sasuke replaced the photographs carefully, deciding that he had done enough of prying. The dobe was no where to be seen and it was obvious from the normalcy in the apartment that his concern had been an over reaction. He was more than a little annoyed that he had actually even bothered to come here. He walked towards the window and was almost about to justsu his way home when he felt a wave of burning red chakra behind him.
"Are Uchiha's in the habit of breaking into other people's homes?" A deep, amused voice asked.
