The Sun starts from the East

Responding to the review.

Losthimagain: In response to why Sasuke can't just use Sexy no jutsu. For one I doubt Sasuke can hold a genjutsu up 24/7 for 9 months. And secondly the fanfic "selfreliance" already did that. Let's have our dear Sasuke-kun experience the wonders of motherhood from the roots up. :D Sorry if you feel completely upset with the idea.

If anyone else sent a review. thank you very much for the support but the evil glitch stole it all away. :(

A/N: I don't own Naruto and gang and please pardon the cliches.

Chapter 3
The two men found themselves wandering aimlessly around Konoha’s dusty streets in companionable silence. The harsh decision was sinking in and both felt awkward talking about it. Naruto sneaked a peek at Sasuke hoping for a reaction out of the stoic nin, and was greatly amused at the familiar scowl that decorated Sasuke’s usually perfect features.

“What are you staring at, dobe?” Sasuke snapped viciously at his blond friend. No one messes with Uchiha Sasuke on a bad day, unless of course you were a fool or have a serious death wish (and I’m talking about those masochistic suicidals too).

“What do think being a girl is like?” Naruto pondered out loud. (Yes I guess it is possible to be a fool with a death wish, an unhealthy combination? Go figure.)

Sasuke jerked to a halt and grabbed Naruto by his collar.” Are you trying to make a fool out of me, or do you seriously think this is funny?” he growled.

“Er…no, no, not at all! It’s just what Tsunade-obaachan asked us to do seem to make a lot of sense!”

“…”

“And since we ain’t got anything better to do, how about we try to investigate that thought?”

‘Yes trust the dobe to come up with completely ridiculous lines of reasoning; he always had a questionable disposition for insanity. Perhaps he is schizophrenic after all, explains his horrendously skewed logic and delusions about grandiosity,’ Sasuke thought to himself. “And how do you propose we do that?”

“By Oroike-no-jutsu, of course!” Naruto declared smugly.

‘No scratch the schizo theory, Naruto just had the mental capabilities of a worm.’ Too upset to make a smart remark, Sasuke resorted to just shaking the dear life out of his ‘best friend’. “No! You will never get me to use that stupid jutsu of yours, so you can have an excuse to spy on girls!”


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Why did I agree to this?” Sasuke bemoaned as he fixed his hair and dress for the fifth time.
“Oh quit whining, this is fun!” the buxom blond with complimentary pig-tails squealed while keeping a close surveillance on the lingerie store across the street.

“You must get this horrendously perverted trait from hanging out with Jiraiya too much.”

Naruto didn’t reply to that comment, merely grabbing one of Sasuke’s hands and dragging him into the store they were “staking out”.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Welcome ladies to Club Eros, where we sell the most suitable lingerie for kunoichis. For comfort or durability or maybe for some simple, naughty pleasure, we have it all!” the enthusiastic sales lady proclaimed proudly.
“That has got to be the worst jingle ever.” Sasuke muttered under bated breath.

“Ano Sa...Sa…ki-chan,” ‘nice save’ Naruto mentally congratulated himself. “Saki-chan is looking for some nice er…nice …” he twisted his features in assertive contemplation, clearly going through a tip-of-tongue experience, or TOT for short.

“Underwear, usuratonkachi.” Sasuke supplied, exasperated with the stupidity of his friend.

“Oh! Your friend is soo gorgeous!” the saleslady fawned over Sasuke, “I bet you are picking something out to impress your koibito right?”

Sasuke didn’t feel that the statement she just made sat well with him. In fact, he felt somewhat traumatized. Unsure whether he should throw himself out of the glass window and run like there was no tomorrow or stab the saleslady mercilessly in the gut, he merely stood there looking confused.

“Yeah, I bet he likes lace right Saki-chan?” Naruto added malevolently, sensing a good blackmail opportunity.

‘KILL NARUTO!’ were the only words that ran through Sasuke’s mind, however before he could act upon his innermost desires, the saleslady shoved him into a cubicle and handed him several samples.

“These were just flown in from Stone Country. It’s our best line. It would look so perfect on you, your skin is so smooth and fair!” the saleslady just had to add that to seal the deal.

A great crash and several curses later. Naruto got bored.

“Oi Saski-chaan…come out and let us see how you look!” he teased, hoping for an eyeful.

“No..go away!”

“Come on… we are all girls here,” Naruto snickered at that.

After a few more minutes of pleading with Sasuke, a small click resounded and the cubicle’s reluctant occupant emerged dressed in nothing more then black lace.

‘Oh man! Sasuke is HOT!’ Naruto squeaked. Unable to hold his chakra and self-control any longer, he deactivated his transformation and tried his best to hold in a severe nose bleed.

“What is the meaning of this?” the confused saleslady demanded, shocked that one of her ‘female’ customers suddenly turned into a man.

Sasuke felt greatly pleased that he managed to make a fool of Naruto, and with a smirk disappeared back into the cubicle. (Yes, let Naruto deal with the saleslady by himself.)

‘Strangely, it felt nice to get that kind of appreciation…wait scratch that, reaction out of Naruto,’ Sasuke smiled at the thought.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He emerged from the cubicle still in his feminine form (no way will he ever let on that Uchiha Sasuke went to a lingerie store) and handed the samples back to the saleslady who was busy reprimanding Naruto for playing such a tasteless joke on her. Naruto merely apologized further and with shoulders slumped and pout in place was making full use of the “Uzumaki Puppy Look™”.
Sasuke quickly exited the store, fully intending to ditch Naruto and run. However his friend was quick to resolve his situation and caught up with him in seconds.

“Sasuke-teme that was mean!” he complained.

Sasuke merely smirked at that suggestion.

“For that you are hereby ordered to make up to your best friend by taking him to the festival tomorrow.” Naruto grinned.

“What? You only want me to do that because no girl will ever go out with you.” Sasuke sputtered.

Naruto didn’t answer to that immediately, averting his face discreetly. Sasuke realized that his words struck a chord in his friend’s heart, seeing his blu eyes fill up with emotion.

“Yeah, no girl ever liked me or probably will ever love me,” the blond unconsciously moved his hand over his navel as he spoke. “Maybe I was just trying tofool myself. Why hope for someone to love you when you can’t even love yourself?”

Sasuke rarely saw this side of the fox Anbu, this was the true Naruto the one he was searching for since he first grew close to the blond. He felt greatly distressed at how he’d actually hurt his most precious friend. “Naruto, I’ll go with you to the festival, tomorrow.” Sasuke spoke in a serious tone. “Those girls don’t know what a great guy they’re missing out on.” And that was the honest truth.

Those blue eyes immediately regained their sparkle at those words his friend spoke. “Thank you, Sasuke,” Naruto cried as he gave his touch-averse friend the biggest hug from the bottom of his heart.

End

Whoa 3 chapters longest I've ever gone on.

Yeah I know the fic is kinda mediocre in standard, do forgive I truly am a newbie. But I truly appreciate your comments all on this fic as well as the broken cradle. I'm not trying to be difficult by asking you all to review if you want me to continue. Its just that I get discouraged easily if I feel that my work is not appreciated. Low self-esteem? perhaps.

So please leave a review for this struggling newbie who hasn't wrote a narrative in 5 years. Thank you. peace :D
