So,
I finally got off my lazy ass and purchased Microsoft Office. MSWord is soooo much freakin� better than
WordPad. Not even kidding, WordPad crushed my writing soul. :( Hehe, and thanks for all your sympathies and suggestions on
alternate software! :)

Oh,
and because everyone�s asking, I�ve decided to answer questions about Itachi. I
personally think Itachi�s adorable�minus the whole �killing his entire family�
thing. However, in this fic, Itachi�s a bit of a hardass
bitch�for a while, anyway. But don�t worry, Itachi-lovers! You�ll get your
moment!! It just�won�t be for a looooooong
time� :(

Thanks
so much to all of my lovely, lovely, wonderful reviewers. :) Hehe, I loved reading everyone�s theories on what�s going
to happen. :) Some of you hit it right on the head, but others�were rather off.
And sometimes you would start out right and then end horribly wrong. It was
rather amusing. :) Oh, and no, I�m not telling you if you were right or wrong�but
keep guessing away! Actually, I picked up a few more ideas from some of you� :)
Anyway, thanks to Alicefreak, Black Midnight Sky, rosekyo, MarinaDelRay, inner
evil, StunningSpellRocks2345, dragonfire04, Lybe (hehe, I got your IOU for the list of foods. :D My stomach�s
so excited!!), mickey8701, skyinthenightslove,

all night. :( �That actually sounded incredibly dirty. :O), Anonymous Sister of
the Author, and hunni C A K E!!! You guys mean the
world to me!!! :)

Chapter 4: Dango
Sticks and Lollipops

Naruto woke up
in a daze. He had dreamt he was still at the photo shoot, and when he woke up,
he thought he was still there. "Sasuke?" he called, glancing around
for his dark-haired beauty before realizing he was in his apartment. He wrapped
himself around his body pillow, wishing it would turn into Sasuke when he
finally noticed what had woken him up in the first
place. He turned off his alarm clock and groaned, wishing he didn't have to go
into work today, sad that he wouldn't be able to see his crush until at least
Saturday.
'Well, at least
I can always text him,' Naruto thought to himself as he rolled out of bed and
made his way to the shower.
In all honesty,
Naruto was worried about him. Not only had they not said anything about their
moment of passion, they sure as hell couldn't blame it
on the photo shoot. There had been a definite spark between
the two of them...or was he wishing too hard? Sasuke was a fashion
model. Had he done those sorts of things before, where he passionately kissed
someone else? He had acted so calmly...and there was that scene in Insomniac's
Dream where Sasuke had kissed the love interest...
But that was
just a movie! This was real life! They had kissed on the bench in the park, right?
'But, Sasuke was
in a vulnerable state. Besides, he fell asleep right
after. Does he even remember the kiss?'
Moody and
depressed, he finished his shower, got dressed, ate breakfast, and headed off
to work.
Next door,
Sasuke was having similar thoughts. He had been kept
up for several hours listening to Itachi and Kisame's screams and the bed
pounding against the wall. Even though it was his brother, listening to such
passionate sounds had made his cock jump. Feeling guilty, he ended up brooding
on the back porch until nearly three in the morning, finally deeming it
"safe" to head back indoors.
He rubbed the
sleep from his eyes and let his mind drift to the photo shoot from the previous
day. Why had he let himself get so carried away like
that? Naruto was only kissing him because of the shoot...right?
Or...was there something more...?
'No!' he
chastised himself. 'I won't fall for Naruto! We're just friends!
...He's my only friend. I can't ruin that.'
Suddenly, he was
worried. Did Naruto really have to work today, or was he just saying that
because he was so disgusted with the kiss that he made up that excuse? But...at
breakfast, he had told Itachi that he had to work, too...
"Ahh! I'm so confused!"
There was a
knock on the bathroom door and Itachi called in to him. "Sasuke-kun, are
you okay in there?"
"Ah! Hai!" He had dropped the bar of soap in his surprise,
and when he went to grab it, he elbowed the bottle of shampoo balanced
precariously on the side of the shower. The shampoo hit the conditioner, which
hit the liquid soap...and all the bottles came toppling down into the shower.
"Are you
sure you're okay?"
"F--Fine!"
Sasuke called back, picking up the bottles.
"Maybe you
should stick to touching yourself in the bedroom, little brother."
"I
wasn't--" But Sasuke knew there was no point, that
Itachi had already moved away from the bathroom door. He sighed, rinsed off,
and climbed out of the shower. He spent several extra minutes on his hair,
trying out a different style for today's photo shoot. He threw on whatever,
knowing that it wouldn't matter since he would change once he got there anyway.
Sasuke passed
Kyuubi Bookstore thinking nothing of it, not even giving it a glance. However,
inside the bookstore, Naruto was in the back room gathering up a box of books
to be shelved. He entered the main part of the shop
just after Sasuke's limo passed.
The bell above
the store tinkled, and Naruto looked up in time to see Gaara enter.
"You're
late!" Naruto growled. "Ten minutes ago, when you were
supposed to be here, I was completely swamped! There were like five people
waiting in line, each with like ten books!"
Gaara shrugged.
"Temari was being a total bitch this morning and wouldn't get her ass out
of the shower, and Kankuro was applying his make up in the other bathroom...and
like hell I'd take a shower in front of him, the bastard." He
grabbed a stack of books from the box and started placing them on the shelves.
Naruto laughed.
"It still cracks me up that Kankuro does those plays for little kids. He
doesn't seem like that kind of guy."
"I think
it's just because he gets a kick out of wearing makeup, the transvestite,"
Gaara mumbled.
"Kankuro's
not a transvestite!" Naruto giggled. "...Is he?"
"Sa
ne?"
The bell tinkled
once more above the shop, and Sakura entered. Naruto groaned and tried to hide
behind one of the shelves, but Sakura spotted him immediately.
"Gaara,
could you give us a minute?" Sakura asked sharply as she stormed over to
Naruto. Usually, Gaara would have retaliated with a death glare and stayed
where he damn well pleased, but Sakura was in one of her moods, and he wasn't
keen on having his eardrums blown out so early in the morning. With a quick
"fuck you" glance in Sakura's direction, he headed into the back
room, intending to make some coffee to make this day a little less hellish.
"Yes,
Sakura?"
Naruto asked sweetly. "What can I do for you?"
"You
promised you'd go on a date with me!" she huffed.
"Oh."
His face fell. Going on a date with Sakura meant less time he'd be able to
spend with Sasuke. He already couldn't see the porcelain beauty for more than a
few hours for another five days because of work; he wasn't about to make it
six. Damn! Why did he have to say he'd work the hell hours Monday through
Friday the first week after school let out?! Oh yeah... To pay his rent...
"Well, I have to work through Friday, Sakura-chan," he answered.
"What the
hell is wrong with you?" Sakura seethed. "I admit that I didn't used
to like you, but you've always had the biggest crush on me! Now that I've
started to like you back, it's like I don't even
exist! You even replaced yourself with Lee for our last date!"
"How did
that go, by the way?"
"Really
well, Naruto, but that's not the point! Just tell me why treating me so coldly, and I'll leave you alone!"
Naruto sighed,
wondering how he could ever get himself out of this mess. He couldn't very well
tell Sakura that he developed a crush on Sasuke. First, she would pummel him
for loving someone else (even though they weren't even technically a couple!),
and then she would tell everyone she met. Within the hour, Sasuke would know of
Naruto's feelings and would never speak to him again. His heart would break if
he could never see his raven again...
"Well?"
Sakura prompted, her voice dangerously low.
Naruto placed
his hands on Sakura's shoulders. "The truth is, I
did used to like you--a lot. But lately, my crush has been fading. I still like
you as a friend, and I'm sorry I stopped liking you like that when you started
liking me. But--Lee's a great guy, and he really loves
you! If you give him a chance, I know you'll be great together!"
Naruto knew
Sakura would be angry, but he hadn't expected the slap across the face.
Honestly! She didn't even really care whether or not
Naruto liked her; she just didn't want the attention drawn away from her.
"Uzumaki
Naruto," she shouted, "you are a lousy piece of shit, and I can't
believe I ever loved you. I'm breaking up with you!"
"But...we
were never together," said Naruto, confused.
Sakura looked
scandalized, and she turned on her heel and stormed from the bookstore.
Gaara emerged
from the back room with two cups of coffee. He handed the one loaded with cream
and sugar to Naruto, keeping the naked one for himself. "Don't worry about
it," the redhead said as he sipped his coffee. "She feels guilty
because she fucked bowl cut when she was supposed to be
liking you. It's just girl drama. Don't worry about it."
"Thanks,
Gaara," Naruto mumbled before drinking half the coffee in one gulp.
"I'll never understand women."
"Then don't
worry about them," he said. He grabbed Naruto by the front of his shirt
and kissed him. When they broke apart, Naruto was giggling, but Gaara was
licking his lips thoughtfully. "You taste different," he remarked.
Naruto held up
the coffee he miraculously hadn't spilt. "Yeah, like cream and
sugar."
Gaara shook his
head. "No, it's something...deeper. Like someone else."
Naruto blushed
as he remembered the previous day he had spent with Sasuke and, more
specifically, Sasuke's mouth. "Oh?" he said, trying to feign
innocence. Gaara eyed him curiously but thankfully didn't say anything else,
although Naruto had a feeling that Gaara knew exactly what was going on.
Luckily for Naruto, the
bell tinkled above the shop and in walked an actual customer. It was a high
school student looking for a specific book, and Naruto spent the better part of
five minutes helping him locate the book and, more importantly, avoiding Gaara.
By the time
Naruto's shift ended, he was exhausted. Even though it was only seven o'clock,
after grabbing a quick dinner at Ichiraku Ramen, he went home and collapsed on
his bed. Right before he fell asleep, he remembered that he forgot to text
Sasuke, so he pulled out his phone and texted, "Hey, Sasuke! I just got
home. I worked from nine to seven today--ten loooong
fucking hours. I'm beat, though, so I'm going to go to bed." He waited for
a few minutes to see if Sasuke would text back but ended up falling asleep
almost immediately.
The next
morning, Naruto had ten missed texts. Six were from Temari from Gaara's cell.
She got a kick out of stealing her brother's phone and sending him the
strangest texts. He scrolled through them, laughing hysterically. In this bout
of texts, she was trying to convince Naruto that she, or really Gaara, was
pregnant. The fifth message proclaimed that her (or his, as she was trying to
convince Naruto) water had broke. The sixth message was undoubtedly Gaara:
"Temari's a bitch."
Three texts were
from Kiba asking for relationship advice. By the third text, however, he had
already answered his own question.
The last text
was from Sasuke. Naruto felt his heart speed up as he clicked to open it.
"Sorry you
had to work so much. What are your hours tomorrow? Can I come see you?"
Naruto let out a
silent cheer before texting back. "Hey, I just woke up. I have the same
hours today. I work at Kyuubi Bookstore. Feel free to visit if you want, but
it's pretty boring."
Checking his
clock, he jumped and hurried into the shower. He threw on his clothes, grabbed
a granola bar for breakfast, and ran out the door. He arrived at the store two
minutes before nine. Gaara was already there.
"I've been
here since open," Gaara growled. "Take the register, I'm going out to
get some fucking breakfast."
Stomach growling
with only a measly granola bar, Naruto pouted, wishing that he, too, could have
gone out to grab a real breakfast. Instead, he checked his cell phone, delighted
to see another text from Sasuke.
"When's
your lunch break? I'll come visit you then."
Naruto punched
his fist in the air excitedly. Sasuke wanted to visit! How incredible!!! "I have a half hour break at one. I'll meet you at
Akimichi Bakery."
A minute later,
his phone vibrated with Sasuke's single, "Okay." He jumped up and
danced a little jig. Gaara reentered the shop with a "to go" bag and
looked at Naruto like he was from another planet.
"What are
you doing?"
Naruto ran
around to Gaara and pulled him into a hug before kissing him firmly. He broke
the kiss and said, "I think I'll make some coffee," before skipping into the back room.
Gaara merely
shook his head, having experienced stranger things in the presence of the blonde, and started eating his breakfast.

Sasuke couldn't
decide between the red T-shirt or the blue silk button-down. The red shirt
didn't scream "Please fuck me here and now!"
as loudly, but the blue one...well, it did. Thinking back to the kisses they
had shared, he decided to be a little less forward for the time being and chose
the T-shirt. He spent an extra long time with his hair, but once he had
finished, he knew he looked irresistible.
He
walked into the kitchen and was pouring himself a bowl of cereal when Itachi
walked in.
"You look
nice today," Itachi said dangerously, "but that shirt... If you're
trying to fuck that idiot blonde, I can lend you something that will have him
begging to be under you."
Sasuke paled.
"Eh... Iie, thank you, aniki. I'm not trying to
fuck Naruto."
Itachi laughed.
"You don't have to lie to me, little brother. Kisame told me everything
about what happened at the photo shoot..."
Sasuke tried to
play innocent. "Nothing happened. It was a photo shoot. Hiroto-san is
paying me a lot of money, and he made a job offer with Naruto, too. We were
merely giving him what he wanted."
Itachi studied
him for a long time, and Sasuke tried to remain as expressionless as possible.
Finally, Itachi relented. "Fine, little brother.
You can lie to me, but just remember: you can't lie to yourself."
"I have to
go now." Not quite knowing where to go, but knowing he had to get out of
the house as quickly as possible, he left. He was planning on forgoing a
bodyguard for the day, but before he had even made it up the street, he glanced
behind his shoulder and saw Kisame following him. Gritting his teeth, he
resigned himself to having a babysitter. And because it was Kisame, it was
almost like he hadn't left his house at all, that
Itachi was still following him.
Sasuke decided
to explore the city to kill time before his lunch date with Naruto. Heads
turned as he passed, and Sasuke could see them trying to work out in their
heads where they had seen him before. For the most part, he kept his head down
and trudged onward.
He ended up in
downtown Konoha and explored several of the local shops. He was thankful Kisame
was with him when he entered Yamanaka Flowers and Bouquets and was nearly mauled by the blonde girl who was working. She
called herself Uchiha Ino, as she had apparently pledged she would marry the
young model, and had already created hypothetical children for the both of
them. Kisame ended up having to knock her out, and he and Sasuke quickly exited
the store.
Sasuke entered
Akimichi Bakery a few minutes early and watched as Naruto exited Kyuubi
Bookstore and walked across the street. The blonde's
face lit up when he saw Sasuke already waiting with a sandwich and a
frappuchino. Naruto gave him a quick hug before going to order his own lunch.
Sasuke turned his smile toward the window, not wanting to give Kisame the
pleasure of telling Itachi how happy the blonde made
him.
"So, what
have you done today?" Naruto asked before devouring his own sandwich.
Sasuke shrugged.
"Not much. Just walked around town."
"Did you go
by Anko's Sweet Shop? The food pales in comparison to the food here, but she
makes things out of dango sticks and puts then on display in her window. Not
even kidding, that woman eats a freakin' lot of
dango! I think right now she's got an entire castle made out
of dango sticks. When they've been on display for a week, there's a
silent auction, and whoever has the highest bet by the end of the day, she
sells it to them. I bought a fox a few months ago. I'll show it to you one
day!"
"Yeah, I
think I passed it," said Sasuke. "Was that right next to
Yamanaka--?"
"You didn't
go in there, did you?" Naruto asked suddenly, paling. "Ino's working
today, and she has the biggest crush on you. She would have probably kidnapped
you and put you in her basement or something." Naruto laughed, and Sasuke
was suddenly glad he had had Kisame with him. "Where else did you
go?"
Sasuke thought
back, trying to remember exactly where. "TenTen Weapon Emporium..."
"Oh! That's
always fun!"
"Umm... That shop that sells honey... Aburame's
Honey? Oh, and I stopped by Inuzuka's Pet Shop and saw Kiba."
"Was
Akamaru there?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah. Oh, and then I
went into a clothing store, and the girl who was working there...Temari? She
introduced herself as Gaara's sister."
Naruto grinned.
"Isn't Temari a babe? Don't tell Gaara I said that, though. He'd kill me.
Did you go anywhere else? Or did you spend all that time hitting on
Temari?"
Sasuke laughed.
"No, I didn't stay in there too long. I spent most of my time with Kiba
because every time I tried to leave, Akamaru would grab onto my pants and make
me pet him some more."
"Oh, yeah,
he does that. He's sort of a spoiled bitch."
Another
laugh.
Sasuke couldn't understand why the blonde had this
much sway over his emotions. Before meeting Naruto, he never laughed, but
now...he was laughing over nothing. It was just that, when he was with Naruto,
everything sort of...fell into place. Everything was so right...
"Sasuke? Saaasuke!
Hey! Earth to Sasuke!"
Sasuke jerked
back to reality, having been staring at Naruto for at least a minute. "Wha--? Oh, I must
have...dozed off."
Naruto crossed
his arms and nodded sagely. "It's all that modeling you're doing. Too much stress. Maybe you should take a break." He
opened his eyes, and his face lit up. "Hey! You're not doing anything
Saturday, are you?"
Sasuke tried to
cover up the sudden enormous grin that broke across his face by taking a quick
bite of his sandwich. "Nope, my day's totally free. Why?"
"Then let's
hang out all day on Saturday!!!!" Naruto had
stood up and practically exploded as he shouted this for the world to hear. Every person for nearly a mile around turned their heads
toward the source of the sound.
"Sure
thing," Sasuke answered in a normal tone of voice, but sounding more like
a whisper against Naruto's outburst.
"Great!!!" Naruto sat back down in his seat and quickly
finished the rest of his lunch. "Look, I've got to get back to work now,
but on Saturday, why don't you spend the night? I mean, I know we live right
next door, but...I mean, it could be fun. That is, if
you want to." Naruto started to look worried when Sasuke didn't say anything
at first.
"I'd--That'd
be great," Sasuke answered before hiding his grin behind his frappuchino.
"I'll come
wake you up Saturday morning, then." Naruto threw his
trash away and said, "Oh, make sure you visit Anko's Sweet Shop on your
way home. If you tell her I sent you, she might give you something for
free." He winked and left.
Sasuke stayed at
the bakery for another half an hour sipping his frappuchino and keeping the
image of Naruto firmly in his mind, refusing to let him go.
As Naruto had
suggested, Sasuke stopped by Anko's Sweet Shop. He was
greeted by a pretty woman whose personality reminded him a lot of Naruto's.
She immediately pointed out the homemade dango and requested that he bring back
his (washed) dango sticks so she could create more art. It was then that Sasuke
took a good look at the display in the window. It was a very large castle, and
there was such detail that Sasuke could almost imagine people living inside.
"Did you
make this?" Sasuke asked breathlessly, wondering how many dango sticks were needed to make it.
Anko laughed.
"Well, yes and no. I did contribute most of the dango sticks, and I made
the framework of the castle, but this was one of my collaboration projects.
Asuma-san, who runs the convenience store down the road, and Kurenai-san, who
owns the movie theater, helped me with the detail work. Otherwise it would have
taken me another three months to complete." She laughed again.
'How does she
eat all that dango and still stay so thin?' he found himself wondering.
He saw the silent auction page, and his eyes nearly popped out of his head when
he saw the most recent bet. Even if her sweets weren't any good and no one
bought them, the money made off of these dango stick creations were more than
enough to keep her little shop open.
"Want to
make a bet?" she asked, holding up a pen.
"Er, maybe
next time. I wouldn't have anywhere to put it. It's so big." (A/N: That's
what she said!!!! ...Or he said... Mmm...)
"Well, you
can't leave until you buy some sweets at least." Sasuke suddenly felt that
she wasn't kidding, that she might even hurt him. She pointed at Kisame and
said dangerously, "That includes you, too."
Sasuke and
Kisame forked over nearly half the bills in their wallets before Anko was happy
and left the shop loaded down with sweets. Tentatively, Sasuke took a bite of
dango and realized it was actually pretty good. He
stopped at the edge of the sweet shop when Kisame grabbed his shoulder.
"Don't go
this way," Kisame warned, pointing to the flower shop. "That girl
might try to kill us."
Sasuke nodded
but didn't know any other way home. He would ask Anko, but he was afraid she
would make him buy more sweets in exchange for directions. He glanced over his
shoulder and decided that he could always go ask Naruto...
He finished the
dango and pulled a lollipop out of his bag as he arrived back at Kyuubi
Bookstore.
Gaara looked up
when the bell above the shop tinkled; his heart stopped. The sun hit the top
pane of glass in a way that framed Sasuke perfectly, creating an angelic glow.
The lollipop stick dangling from his mouth brought to mind both the innocence
of childhood as well as what other delicious things one could wrap their lips
around. Sasuke had a hat drawn low over his eyes so he wouldn't be as
recognizable, but Gaara could still see those gorgeous black depths when they
caught the light. His hands were stuffed in the
pockets of his deliciously tight jeans, and his red T-shirt clung perfectly to
his body, showing off his vague shadows of muscles.
"Can I help
you?" Gaara asked, moving behind the counter to hide his growing erection.
Naruto emerged
from the back room just as Sasuke slid the lollipop from between his lips with
a nice, wet "pop!" Both Naruto and Gaara stifled a groan.
"Yeah, I
was wondering if I could get directions back to my apartment that doesn't bring
me past Yamanaka's."
Naruto laughed.
"Isn't Ino psychotic? I mean, she's usually calm when nothing's going on,
but if she sees something she wants, she'll stop at nothing to get it. But, you
know Chidori Drive? It's right before Anko's. Just
take a left there and hang a right on Rasengan Way. Follow that all the way to
Kage Bunshin Street, and it'll come out right in front of the apartments."
Sasuke pulled
the lollipop back out from between his lips to say, "Arigatou."
Naruto nodded.
"No problem." He turned and went back into the back room. If he were
in the presence of this sex god for one more second, it would be very difficult
to keep himself from jumping him.
"So...Sasuke,"
said Gaara, sidling out from behind the counter once Naruto had disappeared.
"Blondie has to work tomorrow, but I'm not busy, if you're not doing
anything...if you want someone to hang out with."
Sasuke eyed
Gaara curiously. He couldn't quite figure out Gaara's personality and motives.
He seemed to be a completely different person when he was around Naruto, and
some of what Temari had said made him feel a little uncomfortable. Then again,
Temari was his sister, and siblings are a little biased.
"Don't
worry," Gaara said, amused at how Sasuke was sizing him up. "I won't
bite." He was standing right in front of Sasuke now, mere millimeters
away.
Sasuke felt a
chill run down his spine, and he wasn't sure whether it was a pleasant or
unpleasant one. Not being able to tell made him very, very nervous. "Uh,
thank you, Gaara. I really appreciate it."
"Then it's
a date!" said Gaara with a wink. "I'll pick you up at your apartment
around noon?"
Sasuke was
suddenly very nervous at the word "date." Even if they were just friends,
he felt almost like he was cheating on Naruto. "Uh, yeah, that's fine. Let
me give you directions..."
"I know
where you live," said Gaara with a chuckle. "Right
next to Naru-kun, right?"
"Oh,
yeah."
Gaara placed his
palm on Sasuke's stomach and leaned forward until there was barely a paper's
width between their lips. "Don't be so nervous, Sasuke-kun. Relax."
And suddenly he was gone, back behind the register as if nothing had happened.
"Do you want me to write down the directions for you, or do you have them
memorized?"
Sasuke blinked,
not really sure what to think about Gaara's advances.
"I--I think I've forgotten them..."
With a sharp
laugh and a dark grin, Gaara wrote out the directions. At the bottom, he wrote
his phone number. "In case you ever get lonely," he purred. When he
noticed Sasuke's expression, he started laughing again. "Relax,
Sasuke! Don't worry. I won't try anything."
"Why
not?"
Even though that statement caused him to relax a little, Sasuke wasn't used to
this kind of response. He was more used to Ino's reaction than anything else.
Gaara was
confused. "I mean, unless you want me to..."
"Ah! No,
that's not what I meant...! It's just I'm used to--stalker-like
reactions."
Gaara shrugged.
"I'm not a stalker, if that's what you're wondering."
"I didn't
think you were."
The silence that
followed was tense and awkward. Sasuke was glad that Naruto chose that moment
to come back into the room. "Sasuke, you're still here?"
"Yeah,
Gaara was just asking me on a--asking if I wanted to hang out tomorrow."
Sasuke didn't know why, but he didn't want to say the word "date" in
front of Naruto.
"Oh, that's
cool!" Naruto chirruped. "Gaara's great to hang out with, once you
can get him to come out of his shell. He's usually a bitch to people when he
first meets them, but deep down he's really nice."
Gaara stuck out
his tongue. "Whatever, baka."
"Er,
bye." Sasuke left the store and followed the directions back to the
apartment. He bypassed Itachi and went straight to his room. He locked his door
and threw himself on the bed. Today had been...weird, to say the least. What
was up with Gaara hitting on him and then saying he wouldn't "try
anything?" Was he going to try something? He was going to call and
cancel, but...if Gaara said he wasn't going to try anything... Besides, maybe
he could ask Gaara some questions about Naruto.
He went over to
his beanbag chair and turned on his television, flipping randomly through the
channels. Itachi knocked on his door around six o'clock, announcing dinner. He
wasn't very hungry but decided it was better to appease Itachi by eating. He
forced down his dinner and then retreated back to his
room where he lay on his bed before falling into a fitful doze.

Ugh, I'm trying
to make these chapters really really really long -- like 50 pages long!
--� but I can't
seem to make it past seven or eight. :( In my defense, though, that's longer
than my usual chapters! I think as this story starts taking off, though, the
chapters will start getting longer. I hope so! Anything less than ten is
actually sort of depressing...

Oh, and the
scene with Sasuke in the shower, where he knocks everything over�not even
kidding, that happens to me like friggin� every time
I take a shower. :( My sister�s home right now, so there�s twice as much girl
shower-ness in there, so I�m, like, surrounded by shampoo. Honestly, it
would be a miracle if I didn�t knock
anything over.
