Chapter 11

Naruto exited Tsunade's office, his blond brows furrowed together deep in thought. He sighed in frustration, at a loss of what to do. 'I really am a dobe. Damn! Why do I always end up in these messes? Sasuke and Gaara... it's not fair to them, but I don't want to choose between the two. Cant I just have both?'

"Oi, Naruto!" Sasuke called out in irritation, trying to get the boys’ attention. He smirked at the surprised expression on the blonds face as his head shot up to look at him.

"What were you thinking, dobe? I called your name ten times and you just walked on by me."

"Oh, sorry Sasuke." Naruto apologized, his cheeks tinting a slight shade of red from embarrassment, not bothering to answer his question as he continued to walk down the hall.

"Hn." Sasuke replied, falling into step with the blond. "What did you ask the Hokage?" Sasuke asked once they were outside, watching the boy out of the corner of his eye as they made their way down the street.

"Um, nothing really." Naruto answered, fidgeting, his blue eyes locking to the ground.

"Hn. You're a terrible liar. You know that, don't you?" Sasuke’s hand shot out, grabbing hold of the blonds arm, bringing the both of them to a stop. "What is it Naruto? What's the matter?"

Naruto hung his head, not sure if he should say anything. He bit his lip, cautiously looking up into black onyx eyes. "Sasuke, do you hate me?" he anxiously searching the Uchiha’s face, "I mean, with everything that happened between me and... and then learning about... I don't blame you if you do." he sighed, his eyes falling to the ground once again.

"Dobe." Sasuke breathed, shaking his head at him before closing the distance between the two, locking his lips over the blonds. At the moment he didn't care that half the village could see what he was doing - he needed to prove a point to his dobe.

Naruto's blue eyes widened in surprise before closing, enjoying the feel of the soft lips moving against his own. He kissed back, parting his lips to allow the Uchiha in. He moaned at the taste of Sasuke as a tongue darted into his mouth, dancing with his own.

Heat quickly spread throughout his body, settling in his groin and fogging his mind. He wrapped his arms around the pale boy and pressed their bodies closer together, rocking his hips against Sasuke’s. God, he wanted to touch Sasuke, to feel his bare skin against his own. He wanted much more then this simple kiss.

Sasuke broke the kiss, causing Naruto to whimper at the loss of him. "I can never hate you dobe." he said with seriousness, untangling himself from the blonds arms. He glared at the few villagers who had dared to stop and stare at the two before grabbing hold of Naruto's hand and continuing their way down the street.

Naruto allowed himself to be lead, too dazed to register the glares from the villagers or where they were going. His body was screaming at him for release, and he was trying desperately to ignore it.

"Here. What do you want?" Sasuke asked, sitting the blond down onto a stool. Naruto blinked, looking around his surroundings. When did they enter this place?

"Its good to see you today Naruto. The usual?" the old man asked. Naruto nodded and turned to Sasuke, who sat himself down next to him.

"What are we doing here?" he asked after Sasuke gave his order as well.

"Well, I haven't eaten yet today and it is almost evening. I thought we could have an early dinner." Sasuke shrugged.

"Oh." The smell of ramen suddenly flooded his senses and his stomach rumbled loudly. "Hehe, I haven't had anything to eat today either." he explained sheepishly, a hand scratching the back of his head while the other one rubbed at his stomach.

'Wonder why?' Sasuke thought dryly as his eyes fell to the blonds neck, taking in the fresh marks upon the skin. Yup, he had seen those in the Hokage's office. And that had made him none too happy. But he was determined to keep Naruto as his. He didn't want to push him away and into the arms of the Sand nin.

The bowls of ramen were placed down in front of them and Naruto happily dug in, slurping away as he grinned cheekily at Sasuke, the noodles hanging from his mouth. Sasuke winced at the sight of the blond, finding his appetite quickly fading away. When would he learn to never look at the dobe when he ate? It seemed that he did that every time...

Thirteen bowls later (twelve of which were Naruto's), Sasuke paid for the meals and the two continued on down the road.

"Thanks for the meal Sasuke. I appreciate that. I didn't realize how hungry I really was." Naruto grinned, patting his full stomach.

"Hn."

Naruto rolled his eyes at the response. How many times was Sasuke going to answer with a 'Hn' today? It was greatly annoying, but like he noted before, still very sexy. 'Is that what people mean by an enduring quality?' he asked himself with a small sigh, but then shrugged it off.

When they reached the end of the street, Naruto turned to head for his apartment, but Sasuke's grip on his arm stopped him. He turned to look at the Uchiha, frowning slightly. "I need to talk to you. Come over to my place." Sasuke said. Naruto's frown deepened.

"My place is closer though." he stated, then remembered that Gaara was more then likely still there. "Um, but okay. Fine. Your place it is." he said a little too quickly, hurriedly walking off towards the Uchiha estate. He wasn't in the mood to break apart another fight between the two. If they were going to throw themselves at each other, he'd rather it be in a different way entirely, and with him in the mix.

Naruto's eyes widen at that thought. 'Oh God, I did not just think that!' he screamed to himself. 'But that does sound so good.' He moaned at the image of a naked Sasuke and Gaara battling for dominance, both pressing themselves against his own naked body. He shuddered, his clothing sticking to him unpleasantly as he began to sweat even more.

"Oi, Naruto, you okay?" Sasuke asked in concern when a moan fell from the boy’s lips.

"Ah, yeah. Just a little hot." Naruto gasped, unzipping his jacket in an attempt to cool himself down.

Sasuke eyed him, noting the bulge in the blonds pants. 'God, is he going to be like this for the rest of the season? How can he stand it?' he thought to himself before smirking. He was just going to have to make sure that Naruto turned to him with his 'Problems' from now on.

Both boys kicked off their shoes as they entered the Uchiha's large home. The rest of the walk had been in silence, both lost in their own thoughts.

"So why are we here?" Naruto asked as he fanned himself, his other arm coming up to wipe the sweat from his brow.

"If you're so hot, why don't you just take your shirt off? It’s not like anyone will see you here besides me." Sasuke suggested with a smirk, leading the blond to the living room.

"Thanks." Naruto said gratefully, pulling off his jacket and flinging it on the armrest of the couch. No matter how hard he tried, the image of Gaara and Sasuke rubbing up against him refused to leave him, and he was getting extremely frustrated. He really needed to cool down.

"So why are we here?" Naruto asked again, about to pull his black top over his head, but stopped when he noticed Sasuke eyeing him. "What?" he asked, looking back at him suspiciously.

Sasuke shrugged. "Nothing. I'll go get some tea." he said, heading for the kitchen.

Naruto frowned as he watched the Uchiha walk away and lifted his shirt up again. He froze, remembering the mornings incident with Gaara. He sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose before settling for flapping his shirt against himself to cool off. He seriously needed to figure things out. He couldn’t keep doing this to Sasuke, or to Gaara. I wasn’t fair to either of them. And it was certainly hell for him.

"Here." Sasuke said, setting the refreshments on the coffee table.

"Thanks." The blond mumbled, reaching for a cup of the green tea. "Are you going to make me ask again?" Naruto asked, looking pointedly at the Uchiha.

Sasuke sighed, and sat down beside the blond. "I said that I wanted to talk to you. I need to know a few more things." He picked up his own cup, taking a slow sip of the tea.

"What do you want to know?" Naruto asked with foreboding, getting uncomfortable. He was sure Sasuke wanted to talk about the Kyuubi.

"After I left this morning, what did you do?" Sasuke immediately asked, making sure to keep eye contact with the blond. He was going to make sure that he got his answers.

Naruto squirmed. ‘Guess not.’ he snorted to himself. “Fell back asleep on the couch,” he answered quietly, his mind going back to the painful morning. “Gaara came over around noon, though.”

"I see." He reached over and brushing his hand along Naruto’s neck. "And I take it he is the one to give you these?" he asked, his voice monotonous.

Naruto visibly flinched before nodding his head. "Sorry." he whispered solemnly. 'Why isn't he getting mad? He's just sitting there looking calm.'

"Why? Why did you allow him to touch you again?" Sasuke asked, the barest hint of frustration in his voice.

"I don't know. When he's around, I just... I just cant control myself. Its like my body just takes over. I'm not able to think straight until he's gone." Naruto ducked his head, breaking the eye contact with Sasuke, suddenly finding his tea much more interesting. ‘Anger I can take. But this calmness is worse. Why isn’t he blowing up or tossing me out? I deserve it. Why?’

Sasuke held back his rage at the blonds words, vowing silently to himself that he was going to kill the red head. He knew it had to be because of them being in heat, but he was still going to kill the Sand nin. Naruto was his!

"And when you're around me?" he asked as calmly as he could.

Naruto looked back up at Sasuke, a small smile forming on his lips. "You steal my heart." he answered right away. "You already know that I..." he paused, blushing. "I have feelings for you. Right this minute, its taking every ounce of will power I have not to pounce you. And it’s not because of your looks, but of whom you really are. You're my Sasuke, my rival... my friend. Just the thought of you gets me all... heated up." He gestured to his sweating body, proving his point.

Sasuke's hard onyx eyes softened at that briefly before he smirked. "Then why are you holding back?" he asked, setting his tea down. He was determined to make Naruto his alone. He was going to make sure the dobe craved him and only him.

Naruto's eyes widened at the Uchiha’s words, their meaning slowly sinking in. "But aren't you angry with me?" he asked in disbelief.

"You promised yourself to me. I'm not about to let someone else take you away from me." Sasuke answered, leaning in to kiss the dobe's lips. Naruto looked down before those tempting lips could touch his own, causing Sasuke to kiss his forehead instead. "Dobe?" Sasuke asked, pulling away from the boy slightly. He had not expected that response.

"About what you just said…" Naruto started, suddenly looking even more depressed and guilty.

"Yes..." Sasuke prodded.

Naruto gulped. He knew that this would really have Sasuke killing him now. "I kind of... promised the same thing... to Gaara." he said in a very quiet voice.

"..." Sasuke blinked at the blond, shocked beyond belief. 'Please tell me that I heard that wrong.' he begged to himself. "What? Why?" he asked, pulling further away from the blond.

"He kind of... asked before you did." Naruto answered, feeling very ashamed of himself. "And at the time, I wasn't really thinking too clearly."

Sasuke ran a hand through his black locks, pushing them away from his face. He stood, suddenly feeling the need to move around as he let this bit of information settle. He had thought that he had had the upper hand, a way to keep Naruto to himself. Apparently, he was wrong.

"I'm sorry Sasuke. I never meant to hurt you." Naruto said as he watched the boy pace before him. Sasuke nodded his head at him, but he wasn't sure if Sasuke was really acknowledging him or not. 'Just how many times am I going to do this to him? I keep hurting him.' Naruto thought painfully. "Perhaps I should go." Naruto said quietly as he got up, picking his jacket up as he did so.

"No!" Sasuke suddenly exclaimed as he turned to him, his hands griping the blonds shoulders.

"Sasuke?" The blond asked in surprise, stumbling backwards slightly from the sudden movement.

"Don't go." he said, his voice just barely hitching. "Stay. Just stay the night."

"Why? Why would you want me to stay?" Naruto asked in complete confusion. "Don't you hate me now?" His heart was racing in his chest, pounding painfully as he awaited the Uchiha's answer.

Sasuke tilted his head forward, resting his forehead against the blonds. He could smell the scent of the boy, an intoxicating mixture of forest earth and spring air, like the open wild.

"Dobe, I already told you I can never hate you." he said, staring intently into the blue eyes. He brought a hand up from the blond’s shoulder and cupped a whiskered cheek, tilting Naruto’s head back so he could kiss his luscious lips.

Naruto was highly confused by Sasuke's action but quickly pushed it aside as his body readily responded to the kiss. All he cared about at the moment was that the one he loved was kissing him, and wanted him to spend the night.

"So how do you propose we get him?"

Two cloaked figures stood staring down at the village of Konoha, unnoticed by the patrolling ninjas.

"He's in heat. It shouldn't be that difficult. All we have to do is wait until he's alone, then confuse his senses."

"What about the other one? Shouldn't we get him too?"

"He isn't our assignment. Our orders are to retrieve the Kyuubi holder, not the Shukaku holder." the man said, his red eyes glowing in the evening light.

"What do you plan to do about 'him'?”

The faintest hint of a frown graced the man’s face for barely a second before returning to it's normal stoic one. "I'll deal with him if need be. But he shouldn't be a problem. My foolish little brother is still too weak."

"When do we move in then?"

"Soon. For now, let’s just keep an eye on him - learn his routine. Then when he's alone, we'll move in."

The other cloaked figure nodded his head in agreement, lifting his huge sword to rest on his shoulders. The two of them took off, easily staying out of view of the town’s shinobi.
