Love is a Weakness-A Naruto Fan Fiction

Chapter Thirty-One: Hypocritical

Tazuna had insisted that we stay another night. But, in all truths, we were all ready to just go home. We were all so tired. Except for Naruto. He seemed to have unlimited amounts of energy. This kid had to be on some kind of drug.

He was skipping happily along the forest path, not a care in the world. Sasuke seemed in a light mood, walking beside me, holding my hand. Kakashi was still in a bad mood. I didn’t even care what Sakura was doing. We had gone back to hating each other, which made me happy.

It wasn’t long before we reached the village. The sun had just been setting, making the sky turn beautiful colors of pink and yellow.

“It’s great to be back home.” I smiled. The mission had been rather stressful, even if it had been ranked low. I guess you could never be too careful theses days. Risking your life never came any easier.

Sasuke rubbed my tensed back, willing me to relax. I hadn’t realized how stressed out I had been until now. Another thing I would have to get use to. It’s life. I rolled my eyes; bitterly. Was there a reason life was so goddamn hard? It better be a good one.

“Let’s go report in with the Hokage. Then, we can all go home and get some much needed sleep.” Kakashi sighed. Naruto cheered and ran towards the Hokage’s tower. I wonder if he would mind sharing some of the energy with me?

I yawned as Sasuke unlocked the door to his apartment.

“This place is comforting to come home to after that.” I lightly commented. It was a relief to get away from the other three members of team seven. I have seen way too much of them, lately.

Sasuke said nothing, finally opening the door.

“At least I’m here with you.” I wrapped my arms around his waist from behind. I loved being in his company. He released himself from my grasp, stepping away.

“I’m going to sleep…Good night..” He blushed, looking away. What’s his deal?

“Sasuke…” I reached to him, but he ignored me. He gave me one last look before shutting me out--closing his bedroom door. Why was he acting this way?

Even if I was tired it was hard to fall asleep. I laid in bed for hours, just thinking. Was I over-reacting and looking too far into things? Had I really upset him? Things seemed fine earlier today. Until we got home.

I replayed the scene with the Hokage in my head. He wasn’t too happy that I quit in the middle of the mission because a comrade had fallen. But, he was pleased that everyone made it back safely. That Hokage was an understanding man.

Did something about this bother Sasuke?

______________________________

I was sitting at the table when the shirtless Sasuke appeared in the kitchen. Was he always shirtless? Not that I minded. I guess it was his house, after all. I gave him a faint smile. But, one again, he ignored me.

“You look tired…” He commented. Sasuke was digging around in the refrigerator. He didn’t seem to be paying me attention.

“I didn’t get much sleep last night…”

“Did you get any?”

I didn’t answer, just nervously played with my fingers. I don’t get it, he was ignoring me one minute and then the next worrying about how much sleep I got? What was the Uchiha’s problem?

“Well?” I silently shook my head.

Sasuke’s eyes narrowed. “Go to bed.”

I furiously shook my head, crossing my arms over my chest; pouting like a toddler. “You can’t make me.” I stuck my tongue out. He smirked, while crossing his arms over his chest. My eyes stayed there longer than necessary, staring at his flexed muscles.

“I could beg to differ.”

“Then, beg! Because, I refuse to move from this spot.”

“Stop being so stubborn, you need to sleep sometime.”

“Sleep in for the weak.”

Sasuke snorted. He gently lifted me out of the chair. As if he was scared he was going to break me. “Where do you think you’re taking me?!” I demanded.

“Bed,” He smirked, again.

“Fine, but I’m still not going to sleep.”

“We’ll see about that.” A yawn interrupted my witty comeback, causing me to forget it. Sasuke plopped me down on the bed.

“I’ll make a deal with you.” Sasuke gave me a wry look.

“What kind of deal?”

“I’ll go to sleep if you sleep with me.”

“I just woke up.” He groaned.

“Fine,” I rolled onto my side, turning the opposite way of him. Arms wrapped around my waist, but I ignored him. Much like he ignored me, yesterday. I blame his for my lack of sleep.

I felt Sasuke’s tongue tease the back of my neck. “Leave me alone. I’m trying to sleep.”

“I thought sleep was for the weak?”

“Your mom.” Sasuke froze beside me. Shortly afterwards, he stormed out of the room. Realizing what I had said, I buried my head into the pillow. Why was I such a freaking moron? I’d be pissed off if someone said that to me. I should really consider thinking before I opened my mouth.
