Chapter 8 : Frustration :
Naruto wanted to jump up and whoop out in joy or hug even the old woman sitting in front of him. He controlled himself, however, opting to turn to look at the Uchiha who currently looked like he had just been informed that he had to undergo a painful root canal. He would have felt hurt at the obvious fury and distaste on his best friends face, had it not been for the sudden rush of anticipation of what could happen on this mission that flooded him. This was perfect – a whole month alone with Sasuke. This was his only chance.
"I must protest," tumbled the words from the Uchiha's mouth. His anger made his voice harsh and Naruto wondered whether it was possible to coax anything but stark and sharp tones from those lips. Hmm… that would be interesting to find out. He smiled to himself, a little surprised at how much he was liking the thought of making the Uchiha uncomfortable.
"About what?'' the Hokage's face had turned to stone.
Sasuke wanted to do something violent. He knew he was being pushed into this mission for reasons that were suspicious and it made him furious that he was currently clueless as to why. All he knew that it had something to do with Naruto, going by stupid smile on his face and it also involved himself. He remembered the red glowing eyes from last night and tensed. He would be damned if he was going to let this happen with no information about this at all.
"About – about my team members."
"You don't even know who the rest are teme," Naruto interrupted.
"Shut up, dobe," he snapped at the smug blond.
"Look, Uchiha," The Hokage said, sounding impatient. "You agreed to go on this mission, did you not?'
Sasuke glared, "Yes."
"So are you saying you now want to go back on your word?"
Say yes! Say yes! His instinct screamed at him. "No," he said stubbornly.
The Hokage smiled, reaching for some papers and signing them. "Then I don't see any problem," she concluded.
"I wish to speak to you alone, Hokage sama." May be he could get some information without Naruto hovering around.
"I'm afraid I am very busy, may be later." She went back to her papers, ignoring the two men in front of her.
Sasuke felt like strangling the woman in front of him. Not only was he being obviously pushed into something he wasn't going to like, but now he was being ignored too. Just what was this mission supposed to be anyway? He felt himself become a little apprehensive as he got up and left the Hokage's office, Naruto following close behind.
Fine , he thought, if the Hokage wasn't going to give him answers, then he would just have to get them from Naruto. First hand.
"Dobe. Wait," Sasuke snapped from behind. Naruto grinned. He could hear the frustration in the Uchiha's voice and he couldn't blame him. If he had been in the other's place he would have been raving mad, shouting to one and all that his best friend had gone loony on him and the Hokage was part of a conspiracy to kill him. He laughed out aloud at the thought. Well, may be not. He wasn't that much of a drama queen…
Speaking of which, he turned around, catching the Uchiha by surprise. As a consequence the pale man stopped abruptly, two inches closer than what would have been called appropriate. Naruto's grin widened as he took in the angry Uchiha's face. At this distance the blonde could make out that Sasuke hadn't shaved in approximately 2 days.
"What?" Naruto said, breathing in the familiar scent of his best friend and sighing just a little.
Sasuke, being so close caught the sigh and stared at him like he had just grown an extra eye.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" he said, stiffening, finally realizing how close they were.
He must be remembering the hickey's Naruto thought, as the raven scratched the bandage on his neck.
"Not much," he replied, making no move to increase the distance between them. He was quite all right where he was, thank you.
And just because he was proud and stubborn, Sasuke didn't move back either.
"Stop being a dobe and tell me the truth," he said, or rather, commanded, using their proximity to stare down at him. Naruto scowled, using the height advantage was such a cheap shot.
"Look, its none of your business," he snapped back, apprehensive. Maybe waiting had been a bad idea. He didn't want to confront Sasuke before he had figured everything out for himself.
"I'm afraid it is my business or have you forgotten what happened last night?"
"What? That I beat the crap out of you?"
Naruto saw a flash of swirling tomoe's before he was painfully slammed into the wall behind him, toes barely touching the pavement beneath him.
"Tell- me-," Sasuke snarled, tightening the pressure on his friends neck. "the – truth"
Naruto, gripped the hand on his neck tightly, wishing that Sasuke had better control of his temper. This way he couldn't tell Sasuke anything even if he wanted to.
The Uchiha must have realised this because the hold on his neck slackened, allowing him to gasp in a breath.
"Well?" Sasuke prompted, eyes narrowed. He didn't like the fact that Naruto wasn't even struggling. It meant that he felt guilty…Which meant that he had and was still going to do something that Sasuke wasn't going to like. His anxiety flared. And now the dobe wasn't even meeting his eyes. Just how bad was this?
Naruto watched his friend's face switch from a mix of fury and frustration to that of mild concern, before it ironed out into it's most comfortable expression of indifference. The death grip on his throat relaxed and Naruto's feet found the ground again. If he didn't know Sasuke as well as he did, he was sure he would be convinced that he had just imagined him almost strangle him to death.
He massaged his neck, watching the Uchiha, who in turn was watching him. Neither of them moved or spoke and Naruto found himself getting nervous. Just what was he supposed to tell him? That I'm sorry Sasuke teme but you're not going to be able to rebuild your clan with a nice homely girl but you're going to have to be with me, and only me, for the rest of your life and I hope you don't get too mad? The words sounded stupid even in his head.
Naruto suddenly felt very much like a usuratonkachi. What the hell had he been thinking? How could he have been so sure that Sasuke had feelings for him? Him and Sasuke? It was absurd. Sure, the sex might not be too bad.. but for the rest of his life ? A day ago he was even pretty sure he didn't like men... and now... he glanced at Sasuke who had taken a moment to glare at the people on the road who had stopped to stare at them.
Naruto smiled a little. This was Sasuke he was talking about, after all. His best friend, his rival, his team mate.. and his…partner? He sighed as he felt a tightening in his chest. A part of him seemed so sure about the answer - but he couldn't help but doubt it –
"Naruto." Sasuke interrupted his thoughts.
"Yeah?" he said, scratching the back on of his head. Sasuke was looking at him weirdly.
"Do you want some ramen?"
Chapter end. Chapter end. Chapter end.
