Sasuke and I both agreed to go see Hinata tomorrow since it was getting kind of late. I was at the training field for a long time, I was waiting for Akihiko and Himari to stop stalking me, and I took a shower. I was exhausted, and I just wanted to lay down and sleep. I needed it.

"I'm going to go to bed. You can still read if you want. I don't care if the light's on." I said as I moved the comforter so I could lay underneath it.

"Okay." Sasuke said, but he had a look in his eyes that said 'why so early?' It was only 7:40-ish.

I laid down and closed my eyes. I started thinking more deeply about what Naruto told me, and my conversation with Sasuke about it.

"Hey, Sasuke, I have a question." I began as my eyes were still closed. "I want you to answer honestly, okay? I know I asked you this already, but to be honest, I have a feeling it's not true. I have a feeling that Naruto just wanted to please me. Did you two really kiss again?"

I heard the bed shift in weight, then move back. I felt something warm and kind of wet, but warm on my forehead.

As I opened my eyes, I saw that duck-butt kissing my forehead. I laid there in pure shock, not moving at all.

"What do you think?" He asked with a slight smirk.

"W-whaa..?" I said as my eyes widened slowing as I took in what just happened.

Sasuke turned away and laid on his left side.

"H-huh..?" I said shaking slightly. Why did he? What does... does this mean?

Maybe I'm just tired.. yeah, and I started imagining weird things. Or I'm just dreaming.

☆.☆.☆

I woke up in the middle of the night. It was pitch black, but the curtains were open. Well, I think it was the middle of the night.

I sat up and looked around as my eyes got used to the darkness, I noticed that I was alone.

"I think I'm loosing my mind.." I thought aloud.

I flopped back down onto the bed and stared at the ceiling.

"For some reason, I'm not really tired anymore.." I thought aloud.

I looked at the clock Sasuke had, and it read "5:38".

Great.. looks like the beginning of a habit..


I decided it was best to go take a walk because it'll hopefully make me tired. I decided to just go out with what I was wearing because it was just a black shirt and some shorts that Sasuke said were too small for him. I like my shirts loose, and I just had to roll up the top of the shorts. They were like athletic shorts.

I wandered around the village not having a clue where I was going, but I ended up at a spiky blonde's apartment.

'He's probably asleep.. oh well!' I thought as got ready to knock on the door.
I then thought it would be better to knock on the window in his room.

As I stepped on the edge of apartment, I prayed that I wouldn't fall to my doom because no one would be awake during this time.

I tried to slide the window open, and I succeeded. Naruto should probably lock his windows so no one would try to steal anything or kill him in his sleep.

"Naruto, wake up." I said as I tried to shake him awake.

He stirred a bit as I continued to shake him.

"Huuhh..? Rin, what are you doing here?" Naruto asked. I could tell that he was half asleep.

"I decided to take a walk. I couldn't fall back asleep."

"So you thought it was best to wake me up?" Naruto said now fully awake.

"Yep!" I said smiling as I jumped onto his bed from the window. I mean, it wasn't a far jump since his bed is up against the window sill.

"Come on, Rin! I was having a great dream about ramen!" Naruto groaned as he held onto his pillow in his lap.

"Heh, I bet you were." I said chuckling. I patted his spiky hair.

"Don't forget, Sakura was there too! She offered to feed me ramen!" Naruto said as he explained his dream.

"I don't think she'll ever do that irl!" I said as I laughed.

"Hm? Irl? What does that mean?" Naruto asked as he tilted his head to the side.

"It stands for 'in real life'. Know your acronyms, you idiot." I said as I patted his head again.

"Hey! I'm not an idiot." Naruto grabbed my hand that was patting his hair. "And stop patting my head."

"Geez.. someone's grouchy in the morning.." I said under my breath.

"Well, you were calling me an idiot! It was probably from hanging around Sasuke. He's a bad influence on you." Naruto scolded crossing his arms.

I leaned my head back laughing.

"He actually doesn't talk about you, even when I bring you up. He mostly just sits on the floor or bed reading. It gets boring honestly. He needs to do more fun things. I swear, he seems like a fun-killer." I said leaning my head against the window. "Sasuke sometimes talks to me when I'm home every once in a while when I'm not training, or running into people."

"Seems just like him! He barely talks. When we went to the bathhouse, he was surprisingly chatty. Well, normally he's quiet and 'hn's  and 'tch's a lot." Naruto said.

"Why is he so quiet?" I asked to myself.

"I don't know. He's always been like that since I've known him. God, he such a show-off."

"Ha! Like you're one to talk!" I laughed.

Naruto kind of pouted as we sat in silence. I was messing with the hem of my shirt. I thought about cutting the collar a bit since it felt up really high for me, but I'll probably give it back to Sasuke.

"Hey, Naruto, I have a question." I asked still messing with my hem.

"Yeah? What is it?" He replied.

"About what happened between you and Sasuke at the bathhouse, is it true or did you just want me to be happy?" I said still looking down.

In all of the fanfics I've read, Sasuke's normally gay, and Naruto's either bi or straight. According to this one I was reading, Naruto was straight, but he was Sasuke-sexual (cough* It Started Over Coffee *cough* Rasengan22 on Fanfiction.net *cough*)

"No, it's not true."

My head swung up as I looked at the blonde in front of me.

"I guess you're right. I did say it to put on a good act. I guess I could be an actor hehe. I thought about kissing again to see if that would help, but I kind of chickened out." Naruto confessed.

"Naruto, you could've just told me. I mean yeah, I would be a little upset since the mission was a fail, but I wouldn't be so mad that you would have to lie. That would be unnecessary." I said as I looked him straight into the eye. "You can tell me anything, ya know? I won't judge."

"Okay." Naruto said.

"Well, I should head back before the duck-butt has a heart attack wondering where I am." I said as I stood up on his bed. I forgot I had my shoes on. Oops!

"Wouldn't he not know you are gone?" Naruto asked.

"Well, I'm normally a loud sleeper, like a move around a lot, and when I left, he was gone." I said before I climbed out home window. "See ya' Naruto!"

It kind of felt good to have a normal conversation with Naruto instead of being around Mr. Emo Duck-butt!
