The Original

Chapter 6

Sasuke's Pov

After we left the restaurant, I decided to walk Naruko home, being the nice gentle man I am. It was starting to get dark and the fireflies lit up the entire field around us. The sky turned a beautiful shades of pink, purple, and blue, making all the beautiful stars stand out.

"Sasuke it's beautiful. I never really noticed how peaceful it is at night," I looked over at Naruko and smiled. She was tiredly rubbing her eyes and swaying back and forth. She accidentally swayed into me and fell.

"Sorry Sasuke I haven't gotten much sleep lately," I sighed and picked her up.

"H-Hey what are you doing teme," I smiled and patted her head.

"Giving you a piggyback ride of course. Just like the first time we walked through a field together. She blushed and looked down at her feet.

"But they don't hurt this time I'm just tired," I shook my head and put her on my back without consent.

"Doesn't matter does it," she reached around to my face and flicked me nose.

"Well I guess not," I chuckled and continued to walk back to Naruko's house. She laid her head in the nape of my neck and I could feel her hot breath against it, sending shivers down my spine.

"Um Naruko" I stopped walking and tapped her cheek lightly.

"Hmm" she hummed into my neck and I jumped a little. Why does she always do this. Stupid dobe always working me up.

"Ugh never mind," she nodded her head and continued to rest. After we got back to her home, I opened the door and stepped into her house.

"A lot has changed about you...Naruto. Your keeping your house clean, bathing regularly, and your personality is somewhat a little different, but I can tell the male Naruto is still in your personality," I smiled and walked into her bedroom, laying her down on the bed soft bed.

I started to walk off, but Naruko jumped up and grabbed my hand. I blushed and looked towards the exit.

"Please don't go," I shook my head and tried to get out of her grip. That's one thing that remained the same, his strength, unfortunately.

"Please Sasuke I can't sleep," I looked back at her and frowned.

"How am I suppose to help with that," she flinched and her whiskered cheeks tured a light shade of pink.

"Well you see the reason why I can't sleep is because I have nightmares about the nine tails," my eyes saddened and I pulled her into a hug.

"I'll stay, okay." She nodded her head and kissed me on the cheek. I blushed and turned around the other way.

"I'm going to go take a shower ok," I nodded my head and walked into the living room to sit down on the couch.

Naruko's Pov

I walked into the bathroom and slid down the door. I sighed and shut my burning eyes. I really haven't slept good in days. I shook my head and stood back up, wobbling to the side every now and then.

I slipped of my clothes and put them in the hamper, while stepping into my glass shower. I turned the nozzles to the perfect temperature and let the warm water sooth my sticky skin.

I sighed in relief as I put the shampoo in my dirtied hair. After I finished my shower I wrapped a towel around my body and walked out of the bathroom, forgetting Sasuke was in the living room.

Sasuke's Pov

I heard the bathroom door open and I sighed. She was able to take a shower without passing out. I stood up and walked over to the ...naked... Naruko. I felt warmness drip down my face and light splatters echoed throughout the house.

My eyes widened and I covered my nose with my hand. Naruko looked down and the floor and smirked. She's not going to let this one go.

"BAKA! PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!" She flinched at my words but slowly walked over to me.

"What's wrong Sasuke-Kun do I not look cute," she batted her eyelashes and put one finger underneath my chin. I shivered and shoved her into the bedroom.

"Put some clothes on would you," I closed the door and wiped the remaining blood from my nose, as I waited for Naruko to get dressed.

She came back out with an overly large black t-shirt on that came down to her mid-thigh. I couldn't help but look her up and down. She was absolutely adorab...wait did I really just, I mean she's still a guy right? Does that matter to me? I shook my head and smiled.

"Goodnight Naruko, I'll take the couch," she shook her head in a disapproving motion and gulped.

"Sasuke.. I want you to sleep with me," my eyes widened and I felt my face heat up. She tightly shut her eyes and punched my arm.

"Not like that you pervert," I shook my head and continued to walk towards the couch.

"Please it'll be just like when we were younger," I stopped and thought about it for a moment.

"Naruko, we're older now and besides your a girl now," I started to sit down on the couch, but she jumped in front of me and held out her arms.

"So your saying you don't see me as Naruto anymore just because I'm a girl now," I narrowed my eyes at her and shrugged my shoulders.

"So what you told me was a lie, you said you still thought of me as your best fiend, right?" She's definitely clever I'll give her that much.

"You are my best friend Naruto," she lowered her eyes and pulled me towards the bedroom.

"Then you can sleep with me like best friends would. Plus, you have to I can't sleep," I sighed in defeat and took of my shirt, while laying down next to her. This was as best friends right, but why was my heart beating so fast.

I looked over at Naruko and saw that she was already asleep, which wasn't weird she was really tired, but then she jumped up and started crying.

"Not again. Why. I don't understand. I haven't even been sleeping long," my onyx eyes widened, as I saw Naruko cry her eyes out, making her beautiful face red and swollen. She looked over at me and trembled for help.

I frowned and pulled her back down into bed with a loving embrace. Why did I do this? We're not a couple, but even so, I wanted to be there for her.

She shook in my arms until she finally fell back asleep. I sighed and kissed her long, soft, golden hair that smelled of what I imagine happiness to smell like. I smiled and placed my lips on her forehead. There's no way this is how best friends sleep.
