As We Grew Up

Chapter 9: Blonde. Confess. Big.

[Heheh, heheh, heheh...*smiles evily*]

Naruto's POV

I felt the morning came rolling in and I sense someone's presence. Waking up, for me was never an easy task. So you could imagine I'd be in a bad mood when it comes to waking up funny.

Of course not paying it that much attention, your boy tucked in resuming his sleeping session. Little did I know Temari was on my case.

I rubbed my eyes, cleared this somehow dried throat taking a glimpse at my surroundings.

Easy enough to believe Temari was watching me for quite some time as of now.

Before actually talking to her I sat up from the couch. "Wha..wha" I uttered "H-how long have you been there..?"

"...As long as three hours" she replied

I sat back down in attempt to get a decent conversation. "Why were you even watching me?" I asked with a dragged expression

"Sakura and your sensei are on a mission which will take up a whole day" she replied

I shrugged rolling my eyes showing no care at all, "Great now I have no one today". Paving my way to the kitchen I heard Temari say, "How about Sasuke?"

Without looking I knew she had a worried expression on her face, I could just feel it from her words. I sighed before heating up water for my ramen.

I didn't bother to reply, probably causing her to worry a lot more. Before I knew it, my ramen was done, ready to eat.

In her point of view, I was most definitely rude. Me being the nice shinobi I am, going back to the couch was my choice.

Still sitting at the chair in front of me was Temari, as I expected her face was not far from readable.

Before I could forget, the piece of paper Itachi gave was still in my pocket. I know that because I searched for it through my clothes.

Then she started it, just after I slurped my ramen, "Naruto.." she said expecting an answer "What exactly did you and Sasuke do yesterday..?"

I froze in the middle of eating, Sasuke can be such a d### sometimes. "Nothing" I replied "I mean we talked about shinobi stuff and then we drank.."

She looked rather unsatisfied with my response but I couldn't reveal it without that much of an acceptable reason.

So I slurped away! What made it discomforting is her stare. That look made me feel conscious.

In about the next 10 minutes I ate my breakfast ramen. She kept on staring till I was done, that's when I started to spill.

I placed the empty cup of instant ramen on the table, sighing and so I started..

"T-Temari.." I tried to catch her attention "Can we talk?...About Sasuke.."

She immediately averted her gaze from a random spot on the couch to me.

Without really having distractions going on she said, "....Uh-huh..what about Suke-kun?"

Before any words left my mouth, I felt an uncomfortable tingling sensation that ran down my spine.

"Ugh...eh..." I scratched my head. Temari's head tilted slowly

THIS IS SOMEHOW HARD! Sasuke did a crime....and..and....he should go through justice I guess. But even though it's Temari I'll be revealing it to, wouldn't that still be betraying his trust. Oh for Kami's sake can anybody help me!

Temari tilted her head so that indicated she was curious about what I was about to say. "Naruto, are you.." she scratched her cheek "Alright?". I gulped.

Here goes...

Biting my lip, playing with these blue eyes, I began to say; "..Just promise you won't be mad. PROMISE.."

Temari smiled reassuringly, signaling her word. "You have to PROMISE. This is no joke"

She sighed, her smile fading away. "Okay.." she said "I PROMISE.."

"Sasuke" I continued "He'stheonewhoattackedGaara"

She took a second or so to cut the put- together words I've just said. Then it she reacted.

Her breathing started to race, clenched her teeth, and grab hold of my shirt.

Her expression was much like Sakura's minus the anger. (I don't know either. Temari is just freaking out)

She shook me to no end, "PleeEeeEeeEeeassSssSssSe stoOoOop.." I managed to plead

She let go and held both hands over her chest probably just for the effect of calming down. Temari breathed out..

"ARE FUCKING CRAZY?!" she yelled at the top of her lungs "I mean Sasuke..do that and? And? Wha? Wha?!"

By the time she let go, I was frozen feeling dizzy because of all of the shaking she had done to me. Still trying to catch my breath I replied, "No, I'm not crazy.." I lit up "But on the bright side you're not mad so.."

My fellow blonde didn't look pleased with all my useless statements. So she'd been bitting her lips, and smacking her head till I said, "Look Temari" my voice sounded serious "I was thinking maybe..not saying about this to anyone else"

Her eyes narrowed at me. "Suke-kun..did this?" as if she wasn't believing anything I just said.

I sighed giving her the believe-me-stare. She stood up randomly making me less confident, causing my unsettling body to rise up.

For a second everything stopped. Well at least for me. What caused this is the height difference between me and Temari, how I'm taller now, but that's beside the point. It made me realize how much time I've spent with her all these years..it also pointed out that I wasn't good at observing. But that was really beside the point right now.

When I was brought back to my senses a pair of soft hands greeted me. It was Temari's. She wanted my attention.

I shook my head, "Ah..Temari, s-sorry I was lost in.." I paused staring at her disappointed face "...thought.."

She slapped me. "What was that?!" I complained. Temari facepalmed, "What the heck...keep yourself together when I need you. WOULD YOU?"

That last part was more of a convincing voice rather than a yelled-at-me one. I didn't think twice to stay in thought (if you do decide when you were lost in thought＼(￣▽￣;)／)

While blabbering, I opened my arms, "Let's talk about this later" I said dreamily.

She smiled sweetly then slapped me once again. "Get yourself together NARUTO!" she uttered leaning forward as Tsunderes do. I froze recovering from that second slap. I felt a warm hand in my right cheek.

I gently averted my gaze to Temari. She smiled letting her teeth out, "Can we talk seriously now"

"This reminds me of something" I murmured. Apparently, she heard and that only caused her to smile even more but now without the teeth. "Of course it does"

(A/N- Please hold on longer. I don't want to explain what the meaning of their weird actions until my 'EXPLANATION' special which wouldn't be published after chapter 15. Please bare with me.)

Third Person POV

Without wasting anymore time, fortunate for Naruto, Temari knew just what to do, they sat on the couch and started talking about the important matter. They named it 'What to do with Sasuke'
