Next update is Monday. I got a hundred voters for the poll, but I will begin the next story when this one is finished. The winner is "Sasuke loses his memories and Naruto sees his change to start all over again, with him on top!" Now I only need to find a title…suggestions? X3
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Sasuke was frustrated. And no, not a little bit frustrated, but very frustrated. Yasuo was standing next to him, yet he couldn't say a thing. All the chuunin who had entered the exams were standing on a podium. In one straight line. Sasuke and Yasuo were at the very end. Tsunade was standing in front of them, but with her back towards them; she was talking to the audience, who was cheering.
"And so, I will pronounce who had the strength and mind, spirit and soul to become a jounin." Tsunade finished her speech. Tsunade walked to the beginning of the line and looked at all the chuunin. She took a deep breath and started walking tills he reached the fourth one in line. "Kishimoto Mizu!" Tsunade handed him a kunai and he accepted it with a bow. Then he took a step forward and smiled at the audience who started cheering.
"Hakuto Nami!"
Sasuke glanced at Yasuo, who still looked forward. His face was expressionless and he hadn't said a word. Not when they met, not when Sasuke said hello, which was only because Yasuo didn't said anything, Yasuo hadn't said anything. Sasuke felt himself become nervous. He had already decided, he would go with Naruto. If Naruto left, then he would go with him. He lost Naruto too many times and he didn't wanted that to happen again.
"Hanamo Ryusuke!"
"Hyuuga Hanani!" Hinata started to yell and she threw her arms in the air. Neji raised an eyebrow at his little sister, but you could see he was happy for Hanani.
"Yamamoto Maaya!"
"Kurosa Ichigo!"
"Ryūga Hide!"
"Yagami Kosuke!"
"Uchiha Sasuke!" Tsunade flinched at the sound that came from the public behind her. She rolled her eyes. She gave Sasuke the kunai and he accepted it with a bow. He took a step forward and frowned at all the cheering. Seriously, when would everyone realize that he didn't give a damn about them?
Tsunade took the next step and took a deep breath. The public fell silent, and only whispers were heard. She shot him a questioning look, which he answered by a small nod. Tsunade nodded back and took another deep breath.
"Uzumaki Naruto!"
Naruto lowered his face-mask, revealing the whisker marks. Then he bowed and accepted the kunai from Tsunade. He took a step forward and stared to some point
behind the public, avoiding eye contact. Tsunade stopped at the end of the line. She made a small bow and left the podium. She swallowed at the silence. The public hadn't said a thing and Tsunade was afraid she committed mass-murder, since nobody seemed to breathe.
Sasuke looked to Naruto. Shocked. This was what he was going to do? Reveal himself?! Was he stupid?! "…Naruto?" he whispered softly. Naruto turned to him and smiled.
"Yes, Sasuke?"
Sasuke dropped the kunai in his hands. So this was what he meant with that his dead was a lie… Sasuke tried to speak, but somehow the letters in his mind didn't form the words. He knew that Yasuo was Naruto. He knew it and he had prepared himself for it. Yet now, when Naruto was standing in front of him, it all seemed unreal.
"Naruto?!"
Sasuke and Naruto both looked to the pink-haired girl. Sakura's eyes widened even more when Naruto looked at her. Sakura climbed on stage. "You are…are you really…Naruto?" she pointed weakly, her brain turned to mush. Naruto nodded. "Yes, Sakura. It is the re-"
Naruto grabbed Sakura's fist wish was aimed at his chin. "How could you? Do you know what your death did to us? Why did you lie?!"
Naruto gave a sad smile. "Because I'm hated Sakura, that's why. Didn't you say so yourself?"
Sakura's eyes widened, then she turned to Sasuke. "Why don't you say something, Sasuke?! This is the man you loved! One big liar! He lied to you Sasuke!"
Naruto turned around to Sasuke, looking at what he would say. Sasuke opened his mouth. Then he looked at Naruto and closed his mouth. Naruto let go of Sakura's fist and turned to Sasuke. He wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck and pulled him into a hug. Sasuke blinked at the action, stunned to do anything.
"I love you Sasuke." Naruto tightened his hug, afraid that Sasuke would walk away. Sakura looked with disgust to the two in front of her.
"I need you Sasuke, I know you are going to hate me, but don't worry. I will leave Konoha tonight. You will never see me again. I just…wanted you to know of how I feel."
Naruto took a shaky breath. "I love you Sasuke. I've loved since…god, knows how long. I know that you feel different about me and you probably hate me because I've lying to you, but please…"
Naruto stopped with talking when he felt to arms wrapping themselves around his waist, how Sasuke buried his head in his chest. The hand grabbed Naruto's vest and grabbed the fabric between his fingers. "…dobe."
Naruto's eyes widened when he heard Sasuke was crying. Naruto gently let go of Sasuke, he cupped Sasuke's face in his hands. He wiped a tear away with his thumb, making Sasuke close his eyes for a second.
They looked each other in the eye for a second, before Naruto hesitantly moved closer to Sasuke. It was just a soft touch of lips, no tongue involved. Yet Sasuke already felt his body become light and a tingly feeling spread through his body. He had never felt this way when he kissed somebody. Not with Sakura, not with anyone else. This was it with having butterflies in your stomach.
"Wooohooo! Way to go, Naruto!" somebody cheered. Naruto immediately pulled back, suddenly realizing that everyone was watching. Sasuke became as red as possible as he saw that everyone was watching with open mouths. Hinata was somewhere in the middle of the crowd, jumping up and down.
"Go get him, Foxy boy!"
Naruto laughed. In the corner of his eye he saw Sakura. Her eyes were blank and out of the corner of her mouth came some saliva. She was drooling. Naruto shrugged and figured that every brain activity had giving up on processing Sasuke and him kissing.
Slowly the public came out of there trance. First it was only whispers that could be heard, soon the cheering began. Sasuke stood half behind Naruto, trying to hide, not facing the public, but finding the floor more interesting.
Suddenly Naruto grabbed his wrist and pulled him of stage, when Sasuke gave him a look, Naruto smiled. "Somewhere quiet."
Temari clapped and cheered, suddenly she shivered, when she turned around she let out a surprised scream. The people around her looked at her and then turned around to see what she was looking at. They took a few steps back when they looked at Gaara.
Gaara had never looked so scary. Even Satan would pee his pants, if he was wearing those.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Naruto stopped on a training field nearby. He was panting just like Sasuke. Naruto dropped himself against a tree trunk and pulled Sasuke down with him. Sasuke landed in his lap. He wanted to protest but Naruto pulled Sasuke to his chest and hugged him.
After a moment of silence Sasuke spoke. "I knew already."
Naruto chuckled. "Hadn't expected less from you. Since when?"
"Since the second arena."
Naruto wiped Sasuke's bangs away from his eyes. "When did you realize you were in love with me?" Naruto asked. Sasuke frowned. "The moment I saw you again."
"You tried to kill me because I had taken away your revenge…"
"Okay, maybe some time after that…"
Sasuke freed himself of Naruto's hug and sat straight. Naruto looked at him patiently, knowing that Sasuke had something on his mind. "Are you going to leave?"
Naruto frowned. "I don't know, it was the plan, but that was because I thought you were going to reject me."
Sasuke sighed. "And then I had something else to ask…" Naruto waited, but raised an eyebrow when Sasuke turned away. Sasuke glanced back to Naruto again, and then looked down. "You know, about that …uhm…whole checking if they're loyal thing?"
Naruto looked puzzled, before his eyes widened. "Oh! That thing…" Naruto glanced at Sasuke. "Can you hang on a minute, I will ask."
"How?" Sasuke asked unsure. Naruto just smiled. "Don't worry."
'So? How about it?'
"…" grumble. A soft mumble.
'Yes?'
"I don't know. How will I check if my mates stayed loyal?"
'Ask?'
"Fine!" Kyuubi snapped. "As long as you make sure Sasuke stays loyal to you." He whispered softly behind it.
'Don't worry, I won't let him escape.'
"And I want to have my way with him once a month."
'No.'
"Why not? I want to have my fun!"
'No!'
"I will rape him in the middle of the night."
Naruto let out a curse, making Sasuke frown. Naruto sighed. He looked at Sasuke. That face was too innocent for Kyuubi to rape.
'I will stop you, like anyone else who comes close to my Sasuke.'
"Good, then you can have him."
Kyuubi disappeared before Naruto could ask, why he suddenly agreed.
"That was very scary, don't ever do that again without saying first. It looked like you were dead or something." Sasuke said, unconsciously shivering. Naruto blinked and nodded.
"I won't, sorry."
"And?" Sasuke asked, almost afraid of the answer.
"He agreed."
"He agreed?"
"Uh-huh."
Sasuke almost wanted to hit Naruto, really hard. "Then why didn't you ask if he would just top, that way you didn't have to check if everyone was loyal!" he hissed.
Naruto blinked. "I have my hormones that need to be entertained, you know."
Sasuke gave him a glare, Naruto snorted. "It's not like you didn't sleep with someone else while I was away." Naruto looked away, to some trees further ahead.
Sasuke bit on his bottom lip, Naruto was right with that one. "…'m sorry. I shouldn't have said that without looking to myself."
Naruto turned back at Sasuke and looked at him. "What?"
Naruto just smile. "Nothing."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow, but shook his head. "Ne, Naruto?"
"Hn?"
"Do you want to leave? Konoha I mean."
Naruto sighed. "Yes, I somehow don't feel home here. It's just a feeling, but I can't shake it off."
Sasuke gave Naruto a soft kiss on his fore head. "Then let's go." He whispered.
"..Sasuke? What do you mean?"
Sasuke placed his forehead against Naruto's. "I want to leave with you. Go somewhere else, leave Konoha."
"Finally sick of that enormous mansion of yours?"
"Shut up, you're ruining the moment." Sasuke said it with a smile though. Naruto snickered. He gently grabbed Sasuke's chin and pulled him closer. Another sweet short meeting of lips made Sasuke feel like he was in heaven.
Naruto pulled away again and stood up; he handed out his hand to Sasuke who looked at it with a raised eyebrow.
"Let's go, together."
Sasuke nodded and grabbed Naruto's hand.
This was how it was suppose to be, together.
