Arabian Nights 2


After Naruto whispered the name he started to get irritated but before he could fully think of what happened in the palanquin the Grand Vizier greeted him.


"Welcome back Prince Naruto. You're father is in his room."

"..."

"Prince Naruto? Are you not feeling well?"

"Oh I'm fine. Thank you Neji. I'll just go see my father now."


Naruto headed towards his father's room, pushing any thoughts of Sasuke to the back of his mind. He pulled the veil off as he was walking. When he reached his father's door, he knocked and entered without waiting for a response.


"Dad! I'm home! Oh hey grandma!"

"Don't call me that you brat!!"

"Welcome home Naruto."


Naruto's father was sitting at his desk facing Tsunade who was sitting next to him. Tsunade was the palace doctor. Naruto just liked to call her old when she looked way younger than her real age. Tsunade was looking over his father, Arashi's arm. There was a long jagged scar on his arm. Naruto pounced on his dad hugging him tight, making Tsunade scowl.


"Brat you're in the way."

"It's all right Tsunade. What's with the tight hug Naruto?"

"...too close."

"What was?"

"The assassination attempt was too close this time."

"If you ask my opinion you should have executed him Arashi."

"I didn't ask Tsunade and I couldn't execute him."

"But why would Uncle Kyuubi try to kill you Dad? Was it because of mom?"

"The first few times were out of grief for your mother, but now Kyuubi just lusts for power."

"Tsunade!"

"It's true Arashi and Naruto should know the truth."

"Naruto why don't you go take a bath and rest. I'm sure your trip here was a long one. We'll talk more later."

"Okay dad. Bye grandma."

"Brat!"


Arashi kissed his forehead but he wasn't quick enough to get away from a hit on the head from Tsunade. As he was walking to his room he thought about his uncle. Kyuubi was his mother's brother. After she died of an unknown illness, Kyuubi became slightly crazy. The first few attempts on Arashi's life were all done sloppily and in rage, so they were easily overlooked. But after a while they became full fledged, well thought out assassination attempts. After this last attempt, his uncle was exiled to some distant land.

Naruto was brought out of his thinking when he ran into the door leading to his room. While he was glaring at it and rubbing his head, the head slave girl opened the door.


"Thinking too much Prince Naruto?"

"Shut up Ten-Ten. The door ran into me!"

"Of course Prince. Would you like a bath drawn?"


Naruto nodded while mumbling under his breath about stupid doors and people not believing when things attacked him. Like that time when a vase broke and cut his foot. The vase was out to get him!


"Prince, if anything, you were out to get that vase. Why did you want to use it for target practice? And you got that cut because you missed the 'target' and kicked it out of frustration."

"Nobody asked you Ten-Ten!!"

"Well your bath is ready. Would you like someone to help wash you?"

"No I want to be alone for now."

"Just don't drown yourself."


He stuck his tongue out at Ten-Ten's back while she was walking away and then quickly walked into the bathroom. It was a sunken bath and was large enough to fit at least six people. While walking towards the bath, Naruto just dropped all his clothes and jewels on the tiled floor, and then slowly sunk into the hot, steaming water. He closed his eyes and let the smell of lavender soothe him. His mind then wandered to Sasuke and he went from relaxed to pissed off immediately.


"That bastard!!! And what the hell does dobe mean?!? And why weren't the guards paying attention. I mean come on! At least one of them should have been watching the other side of the palanquin. Even I knew that was a distraction."


Naruto stopped to breath in and looked at the mess he made. Some how he managed to splash water all around the tub. He started mumbling under his breath and then blushed brightly and went into another rant.


"And why did he touch me?!?! All he wanted was to look under my veil. Feeling me up wasn't looking under my veil you bastard!!! And the kiss!!!! Why did he kiss me?? My first kiss too.... Oh my god!!! That bastard stole my first kiss!!!!! I'm going to kill him when I see him! He'll rue the day he pissed me off!!!"

"Are you done Naruto?"

"AAAAAAHHHHHH."


Naruto turned around and saw a blur of brown before he slipped and fell back into the tub. He felt someone pull him up and out of the tub but he was to busy coughing to see who it was. When he finally stopped coughing he just sat there trying to get his breathing under control.


"I thought I told you not to drown."

"You scared me. I thought I told you I wanted to be alone."

"With all the noise you were making I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to leave you alone. And look at the mess you made."

"Wait! How long have you been in here?"

"Since you said "...stole my first kiss!" So wittle Naru has finally gotten his first kiss. How was it? Who was it?"

"Don't call me that!!" And it was stolen from me."

"You didn't answer my questions!"

"Ten-Ten? Have you ever heard of a guy named Sasuke?"

"Have I? I think every single girl knows who he is. He is one of the most handsome guys in the city and his voice just drives a girl crazy. He is kind of cold though. Why? ...Sasuke kissed you?"

"..."

"Oh my god! Sasuke likes you?? Well that explains some things."

"Explains some things?"

"Well he has all these women throwing themselves at him and all he does is look at them coldly or in distaste and walks away. I thought he was asexual or something."

"Wait! He doesn't like me!! What makes you think that?? I think he was just teasing me. ...What's asexual mean?"

"My poor innocent Naruto. Asexual means people who lack feelings of sexual attraction and/or sexual desire... And Sasuke is not one to tease. Now lets go out to the garden."


While they were having their conversation, Ten-Ten was drying and dressing Naruto. When she finished, they left the bathroom, with Ten-Ten telling a servant to get a few people to clean the bathroom, as they walked out to the beautiful garden. The garden circled three sides of the palace, with the palace walls outlining it. It had a stream cut through it with many footbridges to cross. The stream flowed into a pond that had a willow tree covering it, some of its branches skimming the surface of the pond. A swing was hanging off one of the sturdier branches. There were many different flowers spread out among the garden along with a variety of trees creating a lot of shade. A few benches and rocks were scattered around if someone wanted to take a seat. All in all, it was very beautiful and peaceful.

Naruto ran over one of the footbridges to get to the swing on the willow with Ten-Ten following slowly behind him. When Naruto sat down he sighed contently. This was his mother's favorite spot. Sitting here always made him feel better. He started thinking about Sasuke again and not even this serene spot could keep him calm. Ten-Ten sat on one of the protruding roots and saw the change in Naruto. She just raised an eyebrow then grinned mischievously.


"Awww how sweet. It was love at first sight."


Naruto whipped his head around, it was a wonder that he didn't get whiplash. Ten-Ten prepared herself for the very loud onslaught of accusations.


"What the hell?!? Like I would fall for that bastard!!! I'm going to kill him when I see him. How could you say that Ten-Ten?! Arrrgh!!!"

"How do you know I was talking about him? I could have been talking about someone else Naruto. Admit it. You like him."

"I DO NOT!! He could be hanged for all I care."

"Uh huh."

"Hey! Whose side are you on anyway?"

"The side that's not on denial."

"What does the Nile River have to do with anything?"

"Wow you really are an idiot Dobe."


Naruto and Ten-Ten jumped at the voice, looking around for the source of it and locating it leaning against the trunk of the Willow tree.


"Bastard!! How did you get in here?!"

"I walked in."

"Where are all the guards?! Did we hire a bunch of idiots to protect us?"

"Should I go find the guards Prince Naruto?"

"No Ten-Ten. But I would like some time alone so I can "speak" to him."

"Is that wise Prince Naruto?"

"Just go Ten-Ten."


Ten-Ten just nodded and started walking away glaring at Sasuke in a way that said 'You hurt him, you're dead.' Sasuke just calmly looked back at her until she disappeared into the palace. He turned to look back at Naruto but instead he felt something slam into his left cheek, making him stumble and trip over a protruding root and land with a splash in the pond below. He looked up at Naruto, who was standing there with his hands balled up into fists, kind of dumbfounded. As quickly as his surprise came, it vanished and was replaced by anger. He stood up in the pond, dripping wet, and glared at the dobe.


"Is that anyway to treat your guest?"

"You're no guest you bastard. Get out of here before I call for the guards."


Sasuke started walking towards Naruto, making him back up into the trunk of the tree. He noticed that Naruto had a pink hue on his cheeks and would have thought it was from anger but the way Naruto's eyes kept trailing down his soaked form told him differently. Before Naruto could side step him, he placed his forearm above Naruto's head on the tree and leaned most of his weight against the boy, effectively trapping him and getting him wet.


"What do you think you're doing bastard?!"

"You don't have to yell in my ear you idiot."

"If it gets you away from me!! What the hell do you want? Do you want to steal my virginity like you stole my first kiss you sick pervert??"

"I don't want to steal it. I'd rather you give it to me."

"Like that'll ever happen. Why me? It's because you want to gloat that you got the Prince first isn't it?!?!"

"Oh I'll gloat that you're mine dobe."

"Yours?? I'm not yours!!!"

"Not yet anyway."

"WHAT?!"

"You're too loud. Save it for the bedroom."

"YOU PERV-"


Before Naruto could make Sasuke anymore deaf, Sasuke smashed his lips against the boys effectively shutting him up. He didn't know why he wanted Naruto. He liked teasing and annoying him. For some reason he wanted to be there for and with him. It was then that Sasuke had an epiphany. Why he wanted to tease Naruto. Why he wanted to always be around Naruto. Why he wanted to get to know Naruto. Why he wanted Naruto to have his babies. It was amazing that he was thinking all this while kissing his blond but then he realized that he should let the boy breath. He pulled back panting slightly while Naruto panted really hard. Sasuke noticed that Naruto had his arms wrapped around Sasuke's neck holding him close.


"You need a lot more practice in the kissing department."

"Shut 'pant' up."

"You've put a spell on me Naruto."

"I was thinking that someone put a curse on me."


Sasuke just smirked and leaned in to kiss him again. Instead of just kissing him heatedly, he kissed him slowly, sucking his bottom lip into his mouth, making the blond haired boy moan softly. He then slipped his tongue into the boy's mouth mapping out the contours and memorizing the taste. He could get drunk off of just kissing his Naruto. Naruto then shyly swirled his tongue around Sasuke's and then lightly sucked on it, making Sasuke moan and practically lose control. As much as Sasuke would have liked to thrown Naruto on the ground and have his wicked way with him, he heard footsteps and shouts coming towards them. So he regretfully pulled away from Naruto, making him whine at the loss, and looked over his shoulder at all the guards heading their way.


"Why do you do these things to me Sasuke?"

"If you haven't figured it out then you really are an idiot."

"GET AWAY FROM THE PRINCE."


That stopped Naruto from saying a come back to Sasuke and replaced his perturbed face with panic. Seeing this made Sasuke want to smile because that showed how Naruto really felt about him but he knew that he had to get out of there. He whispered something into Naruto's ear, making sure his lips brushed against it, kissed him chastely on the lips, and pulled away running as fast as he could towards the way he came in.

The way he got in before was by getting a boost from a cart that was parked outside and then climbing over the wall. Where he entered had a tree near it so he knew he could use that to climb back up the wall and out to freedom. But before he could climb the tree he was tackled from behind, making him fall to the ground, hitting his head, and putting him in a daze. When he snapped back to reality he had his hands tied behind his back and was being led away by the guards. He looked over towards Naruto and saw that he was going to cry. How he wanted to run over to him and tell him that everything would be okay. 'Stupid dobe, making me act like a love-sick fool.' So instead he glared at Naruto, making him blink and then scowl back. But he could tell Naruto understood whatever Sasuke was trying to say. (Talk about a twisted relationship)

When Sasuke was out of eyesight, Naruto hugged Ten-Ten tightly. He let a few tears escape but he knew that he could save Sasuke. Well maybe not personally. He looked up at Ten-Ten but before he could say anything she just smiled and nodded.


"Of course I'll help him Naruto. But when he escapes, he can't come back. Yhey'll be keeping a look out just for him."

"I'd rather he be alive and well instead of dead."

"Alright. I'll go get him out."


Ten-Ten gave one last squeeze and commenced Operation Free Sasuke. (OFS) Naruto sat back down on the swing, leaning his head on one of the ropes. He knew Ten-Ten would save him and he was telling the truth that he'd rather have Sasuke alive then dead. Even if Sasuke couldn't be with him he'd still want him alive. Maybe if he asked his father. But his father was so over protective of him. He could just imagine Arashi and Sasuke meeting. There seemed to be tons of lightning and lots of glaring in that mental picture. Naruto sighed and looked down at the pond. He then smiled softly and happily when he remembered what Sasuke whispered to him.


"I love you, Dobe."

To Be Continued...

Sorry this took so long to come out. I was busy staffing at an anime convention last weekend. (If anybody from Kawaii Kon reads this then Hi!) And then I had a 10-page research paper and a 3-page paper due on the same day this week. I started the research paper the night before it was due but finished it the day it was due. Started the 3-page paper on the day it was due. Yes I'm a procrastinator. GO PROCRASTINORS! Okay not really. DON'T PROCRASTINATE OR IT WILL KILL YOU!!! Yeah not really but ::shrug::.
