Naruto was beginning to think he was cursed. Cursed for life and that nothing
could ever help take it away. He was even starting to think that Sasuke himself was
part of the curse. Do you know how hard it is to be in lo--I mean, to like your rival?
Your friend? The person you sometimes hate so much you just wanna take his head and
bang it constantly on a large rock? But, in the creamy middle of all that hatred, there
is a soft spot. A weak spot. A spot that when you just simply poke it, it bursts and a
whole rainbow of emotions comes pouring out.

'I knew it. I KNEW IT. I should've just went home and made myself some ramen, sit
down and relax, take a nice, hot bath, and go to bed. But NooOoOoOOo... I can't
even treat myself to a nice, relaxing time at the hotsprings without something
bad happening to me.'

Naruto opened his eyes to be greeted by black orbs that belonged to Sasuke Uchiha.
He blinked. He wanted to look away because he knew that if someone is staring at you,
and you stare back, it was the same as giving in. Saying that you were interested, too.
But, he couldn't. Those eyes were filled with mystery. They were intense, and even if you've
know the Uchiha ever since the day he was brought into the world, you would still never
know what was swimming in those eyes. They were one, big question that seemed to have no
answer. And since Naruto was curious and always full of determination, he would stare
at those eyes; do anything just to get an answer.

"What the hell are you looking at?"

Naruto shook his head and blinked.

"Hu-huh?"
"Why were you staring at me?"
"You were staring at me, first!"

Sasuke blushed and cleared his throat. "No, I wasn't. You're just going crazy. I can't stand
to look at all that ugly." Naruto was offended, and it showed on his face. He had nothing to
say, though, so he just crossed his arms over his chest, shut his eyes tight, and leaned back.
Now the Uzumaki had a migrane.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

'Ugly? Ugly my ass! Look at him!'

Sasuke opened his eyes at scanned the body before him. No, it wasn't ugly. It was beautiful.
Naruto was the very definition of beauty to Sasuke. Tanned skin that always seemed to look
soft to the touch. Sunny blonde hair that was always wild and spiky, commenting his
personality. Cerulean eyes that were filled with thousands of emotions, some not even known to
man. And, of course, that bright, cheerful smile. That was a smile that could cheer anyone up.
After all, it had secretly cheered Sasuke up hundreds of times. If it could cheer him up, it
could cheer anyone up. There was always a certain music about him. It was happy and nostalgic.
Every step the boy took was like a dance. These were only a few things that the Uchiha loved
about the blonde.

'See? How can THAT be ugly?? You should wash out your mouth for saying what you just said!'

Sasuke only sighed. He closed his eyes and took some time to think about some things. He never
really knew when he started to foster these feelings for Naruto. It was like they just popped out
of nowhere; uninvited and random. But now, they were part of his life. It felt like he
could never take them away, either. Not like he ever planned to take them away. He had to be
honest with himself. He liked, no, loved the blonde, and he didn't hate these feelings. They
seemed to have pushed him forward, somehow. Made him go on. Made him take more time with his
training then he ever had. They made him... stronger. He wasn't sure how, but they did.
Naruto was definately linked to these feelings, because they were pieces of his own
personality. Naruto never gave up. He'd always move forward, no matter what jumped in the way. But,
like everyone, he has his moments when he just can't help but break down. No one can blame the
blonde, either. He's been through so much. Both of them. But, it was hatred that drove Sasuke
to his desires. Naruto was driven by dreams and pure will.

Sasuke sighed and sunk lower into the water, suddenly feeling a bit depressed. Hatred. That
was driving him. But, now there was something else. There was Naruto. The loud boy that got
on everyone's nerves. Anyone who knew Naruto or had fought him knew what he was like. They
knew what made him push forward. Naruto had a gift. The gift to change. He had changed many
people and the way they think. He had gotten to Neji Hyuuga and even Gaara of the Sand. It
was these accomplishments that made Naruto and everyone around him stronger.

He looked back up at Naruto, who was busy playing with his fingers.

"Hn..."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Naruto looked up at the other when he heard the all too familiar sound. He wanted to ask what
was wrong, but he kept his mouth shut. Sasuke was looking at him again, but this stare was
different. It was full of thought and acted like tape over his mouth. He blinked slowly.
It made his heart skip a beat, and filled his head with more questions.

'Why is he looking at me like that?'
~He likes you, you know...~

Naruto closed his eyes to slits. Great, now he had to jump into the situation.
'Why can't you just leave me alone when it comes to moments like these?'
~Why? I give good advise!~
'Pfft!'

Naruto glanced down then back up at Sasuke.

"What? That stare is creeping me out."

Sasuke blinked and smirked.

"So sorry. Didn't mean to creep you out."

Sasuke leaned back and closed his eyes. Naruto blushed and did that trick with his fingers
like Hinata always did. He wanted to make a move. 'Ok... What you got for me?'

Kyuubi merely smirked.
