Following you

----------------- ---------- ----------------

Naruto couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Of course he would just happen to stumble into the person he’s been obsessing over for years when he wasn’t even trying! He was just following a river for some water!

‘But they do teach us in school that if searching for someone, you should follow a body of water because everyone needs to drink. Uhh maybe I should have used this tactic earlier…’ He mentally shook himself out of his train of thought and focused on the friend he was hiding from.

‘I should just barge out there right now! I don’t sense anyone else around, it would only be him and me. I can finally beat the shit out of him.’ Naruto crouched and tensed his muscles, ready to burst out of his hiding spot. The pre-excitement from what his body knew was going to be a good fight coursed through him.

He wouldn’t even say anything; just knock that bastard upside the head. Not enough to knock him out, just hard enough to get his FULL attention. No more of his half assed excuses for two sided conversations.

‘Annd…’

He momentarily tucked his kunai away, knowing he can just whip it out with ease later. Both of Sasuke’s hands traveled up to his chest and clutched his collar. He’s distracted!

‘Now-!’

The ravens white shirt dropped to the ground, still not facing in Naruto’s direction. The muscles of his back flexed as he stretched upwards, and then continued in untying his purple rope-belt.

‘or…’

The purple sash was whipped off of his waste. That, along with the other discarded clothing was tossed back onto the bolder. He proceeded to untie the drawstrings on the front of his pants that keep his pants from falling (1).

‘...not…’ The blonds’ eyes faded back to blue as his thigh muscles unclenched from a pouncing position. A slight blush crept up to his scarred cheeks, as a slight something else crept in the opposite direction.

‘He’s… uh…’

The pitch back pants slipped down his legs, showing a pair of black silk boxers, with another Uchiha family crest on the left leg above the hem of the shorts. Naruto was about to mentally mock him for being a proud bastard even when it came to underwear, when he remembers the black pair he has in his pack with orange swirls littered all over it.

The emotionless teen took his shoes off with his pants, and hooked two thumbs under the waste band of his boxers. The young man in the train of thought halted, as he could swear his brain was slowly turning into goop. He shouldn’t be watching this. Why is he watching this?! Oh gods, he feels like ero-sennin! But with a guy!

‘But I’m not, and... I don’t think he is… but most importantly me! Then why?’

He attempted to drag his traitorous eyes away from the image of his best friend, his rival! Slowly, all too slowly, sliding the cloth past a toned ass. Finely sculpted creamy thighs and calves, and letting it hit the floor before he lazily flicked it up with his leg and caught it, throwing it back with the rest of his clothes.

The goop between Naruto’s ears apparently began to vaporize, as he swayed from lightheadedness. He was still watching. It was something that you just couldn’t tear your eyes from. Like when watching a horror movie. You know watching that monster kill the girl will haunt you later and freak you out, but you peek though the gaps in your fingers anyways. Knowing you’ll just be curious later if you don’t.

Sasuke slid off his arm guards and laid them to the side, then began to walk into the water. Naruto tracked a slight shiver run up the others spine. The water must be cold. Once about knee high in the running water, Sasuke stretched his arms out and weakly jumped into a shallow dive into the water.

The kisune watched as those tantalizing legs and ass as they slipped under. He took this chance to gasp for the deep breath he had needed, and ease himself into more of a sitting position on the ground, for his trembling legs couldn’t hold his weight anymore.

The fabric in the front of his pants strained over his growing erection.

Great, just great. He’s been hated his whole life because of the beast inside of him, his best friend runs away to some bastard and he spends years searching for him, he’s been forced to run away from his only home to escape torturous DOOM.

And now he’s GAY?!

Not that there was anything wrong with that.

But for SASUKE?!

Out of all the guys he knew, his insane teenage hormones had to choose the coldest, expressionless, and most emotionally stunted ice princess in all the land!

But… he couldn’t imagine himself liking anyone else as in Kiba, Neji or any of the other guys… so really it was just… Sasuke…?

But he never envisioned himself like… Actually he’d never quite thought about that whole subject it in depth before either…

‘But… I thought I’ve liked Sakura-chan since academy days… Never have I been attracted to anyone else really, especially guys-‘

He remembered way back when team seven formed. They were going on their first mission together. The heart wrenching feeling he got when he thought Sasuke had died right there in his arms in the Land of Waves. How he could feel his stomach churn as he watched the light in Sasuke’s eye’s leave. The rage and sorrow he felt filled him up to the brim. Those emotions overtook him so much. That it was even the first time the nine tailed fox got loose.

Training, how his blue shirt clung to wiry, 12 year old muscle after he had trained for hours against the blond. The musky, but appealing scent Sasuke always seemed to give off that Naruto would always notice.

But how could he forget, The Valley of the End. The feeling of betrayal hit him harder than anticipated with Sasuke’s every word. One minute telling him he grew to be the Uchiha’s closest friend, letting Naruto’s hope well inside. But the next crushing it back down, telling him how it was too late. Every blow from the other young ninja felt three times as painful as it would with anyone else. Naruto’s whole world was torn to pieces in that fight.

And how those pieces reconstructed themselves in the past 3 years, but in a different pattern. A pattern revolving around Sasuke, and him alone. Sasuke was his every drive, his every last push toward something Naruto wanted to achieve. Every thought was riddled with the young raven. Even when being out with Sakura, at the ramen bar, he would look at the empty seat next to them and think. If only Sasuke was here as well, I wouldn’t feel so… empty.

Even back when Naruto was 12 –though he didn’t think too much of it- he noticed, and felt things about Sasuke that his immature mind hardly recognized. He never looked at them as he did now. Not from the point of view of Sasuke…

Being maybe more than just his closest friend…

‘What… why have I really been running after Sasuke for all these years…’

His thoughts halted as he heard a splash and a gasp for air back out in the river.

He flipped his head back up to stare at the raven waist deep in water, rubbing his hair and skull.

That’s what sucks about bathing in rivers and such, you never have any soap or shampoo so you’re basically just washing the stench off, not really the dirt. Looking over at Sasuke’s slightly pissed look the other teen was thinking the same thing.

Well, Sasuke always looked pissed, but this time it looked as if that was the reason as he brought his hair around to his face, sniffed, and scowled more. Naruto felt like chuckling, but he just amusedly smiled in response.

The sun was setting more, but the colours still sparkled on the waters surface, and now on Sasuke. His pale skin was glistening with water that glided down his body, curving into every bump of hard muscle under that silky skin. His whole torso and face were painted a light orange, reflecting the sunset ahead. When had Sasuke become so… beautiful…

Naruto’s face heated at the thought, Sasuke really was gorgeous in this light. He couldn’t deny that, nobody could.

The tightness in his groin made him shift slightly.

The raven splashed water all around his body and rubbed; doing the best he could in scrubbing the stench of forest off of his skin. He dipped down in the water and swam around for a few minutes, before standing up again and shivering. He hugged himself and rubbed his forearms as a night breeze whistled through. Rubbing though his hair in the water once more, he began to walk back up to the river shore, water line receding lower and lower on his body.

Naruto’s blush turned deep, he didn’t blink, as he saw a dark course patch of hair come up from the water with Sasukes body. The water line passed his hips, then thighs, showing the ravens manhood for anyone to see. Naruto brought up a hand to cover his mouth as his mind and eyes tried to decide whether to stare or look away. His pupils flickered between the manhood protruding out of dark hair, and a shrub.

Manhood, shrub, manhood, shrub…

Manhood.

‘Uzumaki, if there’s ever been a time to mind your own business, it’s now!’ Though his eyes didn’t move from the length lightly bouncing as its owner walked over to the rock with his clothes. Naruto gulped and stilled further, the rock was much nearer to him than the river was. The Uchiha began to dress. Shirt, pants, shoes, armguards, sash and then that damn ass bow.

‘He’s not with Orochimaru anymore, so why does he still wear that hideous thing…?’

The last article of clothing was the one the blond recognized from before. The bastard draped a full length Akatsuki cloak over his shoulders, not turning up the collar like all of the others did.

Without realizing, a deep growl rumbled in Naruto’s core at the offending piece of clothing.

Orochimaru was one thing, but Akatsuki?! The people who were trying to kill him?! His heart ached, and eyebrows scrunched together. This hurt, the pain stabbed though him like a knife. That same knife twisted around cruelly.

Sasuke knew that Akatsuki were trying to kill him. He knew that Akatsuki was concentrated evil. Naruto knew he went to Orochimaru for power, but this? Unless he’s made peace with his brother that’s in the same organization, Itachi is dead. Why the fuck was Sasuke following his brothers exact footsteps?! What insane notion does he have running though his head now?! This was low.

Almost as low as where Naruto is going to kick Sasuke as hard as he can once he gets the chance.

Maybe that low kick will force his stupidity out of his tight ass, and he’ll see the light again. On the other hand, Sasuke hasn’t really seen the proper light his whole life. He’d probably be blinded and stumble into a tree.

‘Hah! I’d love to see that one!’

Naruto’s thoughts halted as Sasuke whipped his head up and began to scan the surrounding woods with his sharingan eyes.

‘Oh shit! Did I just growl?! Damn-it Kyuubi, you’re blowing my cover!’

Naruto momentarily panicked, what the fuck was he going to do now!? He’s got Sasuke on full alert, he can’t surprise attack him anymore! Faster than Naruto could detect, Sasuke brought out a kunai before darting his head over to exactly where Naruto was hiding. Naruto’s heart stopped as those red eyes bore into his general direction, but not directly on him.

‘He still doesn’t know it’s me…’

Why wasn’t he bursting out of the bushes?! Why was he not trying to kick that bastards ass by now?! No, if he came out now, it would be more than obvious that he was spying. Sasuke would be even more enraged and even creeped out by him once he put it together with that genius mind that Naruto was oogling him while he bathed.

The tomoes in Sasukes eyes spun as he aimed the kunai and threw it right at where Naruto was crouching. Naruto’s mind rushed, he was going to be hit, he was going to be found out. Automatically, he made a hand seal and transformed into the first thing that came to mind.

-----------

Sasuke’s kunai hit the giant trunk of the tree behind the bush he knew something, or someone was hiding in. He leaped in one bound to the bush and pulled it the branches and leaves aside to look though to the other side.

He first saw his weapon, half way buried into the base of the large tree. But beneath it, standing on all four legs. Was a small red fox (2). Its tail was slightly tucked behind it. Looking at the fox, Sasuke noted the strange colouring. The deep red that tapered off into orange, then yellow at the very tip if it’s tail. The same happened with both of its furry ears.

The animal was still, still as a statue actually. Sasuke didn’t even think the thing was breathing. Normally foxes would’ve run away by now. But this slightly creepy canine seemed as if it wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

But what startled Sasuke the most, were the eyes staring right back at him.

They were a wide, eerie, clear blue that he knows he had seen before. The little creature stared back at him with a familiar, intelligent stare that sent a shiver up the raven’s spine.

--------------- ----------- -------------------

We all know Sasuke is the guy the can turn straight men gay…

Well? Yes? No? Fuzzy Naruto animal time! Yay! Wow this chapter was short, well i have a headache and need to sleep so I have excuses… I love how I always end on cliffhangers. I would b a horrible novel writer. Well, at least my fans would think I was horrible XD

(1) ok I added a tie string thing to Sasukes pants to keep them up cause I refuse to believe just that rope holds up all that fabric without at least one pants-falling accident during a fight or something (but comon, how funny would that be?! Bwahaha!) so ya, just sayin…
(2) If your wondering how big Naruto’s fox form is, its about the size of a maltese dog, u know, the fox is slimmer and it has a big fluffy tail, but overall the size of a maltese…
