AN: I…am going to sleep here soon. *yawns*

Libra Vibora: It's not to much. It's gonna be a while since I'm going through what I have now, then going to work on my chapter stories that have been waiting for me to work on them, the pains they are.

*~*~*~*~*~*

The beach was pretty much bare, the ourists deciding to stay inside instead of dealing with the sudden heat wave that had hit. Or at least the smaller surfing beaches were being avoided.

But for one blond, he was happily riding the waves as a blue haired, sharp toothed lifeguard watched him.

It was rather interesting to see the blond fox surf with no fear of what was under the waves. Suigetsu could remember the last summer when there had been more shark activity near the beaches due to a spill out farther in the ocean. The sharks hadn’t come near enough though to be much of a worry.

At least not until Naruto had nearly lost his hand and some of his arm to one. Suigetsu had been near enough him, having gone out to save a board, to get to the flailing, fighting blond. After helping him to get the shark to let go, in a way that neither of them talked about, the lifeguard had gotten the newest shark attack statistic to the shore and an ambulance.

After his shift had ended for the day, Suigetsu had headed to the hospital, finding that the guy he had saved was named Naruto Uzumaki and that he went to collage nearby when he wasn’t working or surfing.

Their first meeting had been rather dull, seeing as Naruto had been drugged up and nearly unconscious. But their second meeting had gone from somewhat pleasant to Naruto hissing like a cat and Suigetsu being tossed out of the hospital. During the next six months the two kept running into each other; at the college, at physical therapy where Naurto regained the use of his arm and Suigetsu retrained a few muscles that had been pulled the wrong way. They even saw each other at parties and clubs due to interconnected friends.

One night, their friends had gotten tired of the two snipping and arguing and locking them in a basement room that neither could get out of. Their friends figured they would either fight, fuck, kill each other or ignore each other.

In the long run, they had ignored each other, fought and then fucked.

Since that day three months ago, they had been in an odd relationship where they snipped at each other but there was less heat to it then before. They couldn’t really say that they loved each other, at least not the heart rending love of star crossed lovers.

But they, in their own ways, did love each other.

Suigetsu smirked as he watched his lover head up the beach, surf board held over his head.

All done, blondie?” Suigetsu drawled, putting his feet down on the wood flood under him. Naruto snorted as he put his board down, leaning it against the lifeguard shack.

“Yeah, it’s getting to damn hot to even surf with those waves,” Naruto drawled, tugging off his scuba shirt, leaving him in a pair of board shorts.

“Good. I was starting to feel like a damn lobster,” the older of the two drawled, getting an eye roll from Naruto.

“Wimp.”

Yeah, Naruto felt things a bit to well on one arm, and Suigetsu was a jackass while his sweet blond loved to push his buttons, but they loved it in their own way, fights and all.
