In Progress [SASUNARU]

chapter 9

Oh my god. That was way too close. He almost outed me! Although he seemed pretty reluctant. I don't think he was actually going to tell Kiba I was gay. Maybe he was trying to think of a lie. I'm glad I found a way to save him. And now that i think about it... where is Jiraiya?
"I actually don't know... when did he even leave?"
Naruto mouths me a 'thank you' and I respond with a nod. That could have been bad. I'm sort of surprised he didn't tell Kiba since I did that to him... I would have deserved it.

"Maybe we should split up?" I really need a chance to talk to Naruto now that he seems more willing, and since he can't walk I see this as the perfect opportunity. Naruto and Kiba just look at me with hilariously riddled faces, it took a lot out of me not to laugh. But it didn't seem like the best time to irritate Naruto considering he became a victim of rape less than 24 hours ago, because of me no less. "To do what?" Naruto looked like he was putting some serious thought into this even though he was going to get an answer from me anyway. I swear if I wasn't so good at this I would have cracked up by now. I gave them a look of disappointment, my equivalent to a face palm because I was holding the Dobe.

"To look for Jiraiya-sensei, of course." My tone was a little more playful than it usually is but since it was torwards Naruto I don't really mind. He gave me a sheepish smile and scratched the background of his neck. "I knew that." I couldn't help the small smile that caressed my features like it did every time I saw him smile like that. I glanced at Kiba's hoping he didn't notice. "Good idea Sasuke, I'll take Naruto." Well way to burst my bubble Kiba. I think he still sees me as the person that thought everyone else was a burden. It sort of irritates me, how so many people here can't get past my 13 year old personality even though it's been years and people change. I think that's one of the reasons I like Naruto so much, he's always so God Damn excepting. He has personally given me so many chances no matter how much I fucked up. It's almost as if he loves me back. I can only hope. When I finally get back to reality I realized I've been staring into Naruto's crulien orbs the entire time and the pink tint in his cheeks tells me he has too. "Quit staring teme, Kiba's trying to talk to you." He fusses at me. I look at Kiba, implying that I'm listening.
"He just went back to the bath house. I'll just bring Naruto there so Jiraiya can take him home." Now I'm sitting here trying to think of a way to get alone with Naruto for about 20 seconds till I shake my head at Kiba. "Tsk tsk. Why would he go back there when he knows we would just come and bother him again? He's probably gone somewhere else so I'll take Naruto and you take akamaru since your house is near here. That way, if one of us find him we can drag him back if he's not willing."
That's a pretty good idea, Sasuke! I'm surprised something team work related came out of your mouth too!" Now that just pissed me off. And the laughter from the two didn't help. "Heh heh, then you should go get your mutt then shouldn't you? Dog boy?" Without him realizing my smart remark he responds. "I guess I should see you later, hopefully with Jiraiya!" "Yep. Bye!" At this point Naruto is cracking up. "Ahaha! He's such an idiot!" "Stop, Naruto. I can't support you like this!"
