chapter 6

Sasuke sat staring out the window, the Business Decision class was one of the most boring classes he had, mainly because he had been home schooled in business all his life.

“Sasuke.” Neji waited for a response but none came. “Oi Sasuke,” he said a little louder.

“What?” The raven finally removed his eyes from the window and faced Neji.

“You having dinner with your bride to be tonight?” Neji asked packing down his books, it was their last class for the day so when they were done gathering their things they walked to their designated limousines.

“Yeah at 5.30.” Sasuke replied back, the Hyuuga noticed there was more resentment in Sasuke’s voice. He had been noticing other changes in the raven for the past 3 weeks. Uchiha seemed more distracted but content and maybe even happy. Sasuke was never happy he was an Uchiha. More over, he had cancelled most of their usual gatherings at the gentlemen’s club

“Want to excuse yourself early and head to the gentlemen’s club to look at the mess we created last week?” The long haired boy asked just as they got to their limousine.

“Sorry I got some place to be tonight.” The raven said as he sat in the back of the limousine, “See you tomorrow.” He added before closing the door. Neji stood watching as Sasuke’s limousine drive off and he wondered again where the raven haired boy was spending his free time.

When Sasuke arrived at home he was greeted by his future fiancée instead of the butler. Sakura was wearing a pink kimono with a flower pattern and her hair was tied back with pins and what looked like a pair of decorated chopsticks.

“Welcome home Sasuke-sama,” she bowed and then offered to take his coat and bag. Not saying anything, he gave them to her and walked right past her into the living room.

“Did you have a good day at the university?” She asked as she sat down next to him in the living room. Sasuke’s parents had left the house to him for this dinner, one of their brilliant ideas for the two of them to get to know each other better. Sasuke glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, 5 pm, another half an hour before the dinner would be ready. He sighed, it was another 4 hours until he could leave.

“Are you tired Sasuke-sama?” The pink haired girl asked.

“Hn.” He replied. The raven figured he couldn’t go the entire night without speaking to her. Suddenly he felt to hands on his shoulders beginning to rub. Sasuke quickly pulled away, leaving a very surprised Sakura on the sofa.

“What are you doing?” He asked.

“I-I was only going to give you a massage,” Sakura said looking at him with her green eyes. “I thought it would be nice since you are tired.” Sasuke just looked at her, for some reason he found the pink haired girl more annoying than usual. Of course, she had been annoying before, just like any other girl he met. She was also drooling and groveling at his feet. The only difference was that she did it with more class and less force, unlike any of the other girls she already had one foot in the door to the Uchiha family.

“Well I don’t need it” Sasuke said coldly and sat down in the chair opposite the sofa.

“Okey, I’m sorry,” the pink haired girl said before the silence filled the air. Sakura sat fiddling with her handkerchief, she was not sure what to say to start a conversation. Sasuke, like all male Uchihas, was not very talkative. Another quality the male Uchihas had, was how cold they were, one would never see any of them showing any type of emotion. But this is where Sakura was determined to change Sasuke, she would make him fall in love with her, make him show her emotions. She was going to accomplish what no other could, she was going to make sure there was no room for a second woman.

“Dinner is served,” a butler announced. They both got up and walked past the butler holding the door open to the dining room. When they sat down at the dinner table the 1st course was already placed on the table.

“Enjoy,” the butler said before bowing slightly and retreating to the kitchen leaving Sakura and Sasuke to eat in silence.

“Ne Sasuke-sama.” Sakura decided to break the silence, they had eaten their main course and were waiting for the dessert. She had to come up with something for them to do together because she knew as soon as the dinner was finished, Sasuke would ask her to leave.

“Want to go for a walk, it is still early”

“No … I got somewhere to be later, George will take you back.” Sasuke stated in his toneless voice and left the room, leaving Sasukra alone with her dessert.

“Anything else you require tonight Uchiha-sama?” George, the butler, asked as he handed Sasuke his jacket.

“Take Haruno-san home when she is done, I’ll be out till late so I have no further need for your service.” The raven said to the butler before disappearing out the door.

“Very well Uchiha-sama.”

*************************************************************************************

“See you late.r” Naruto waved to Shikamaru and Gaara who were off to do another job.

“Later,” Shikamaru gave a lazy wave to Naruto and followed Gaara out to the car. The blond sighed, he was still on the quarantine and was forced to stay home. Something he found incredibly boring and frustrating. There was only some much shadow sparring and Kyudo could ease. Especially since, the whole deal with Sasuke was adding more stress and frustration to everything. He let out another sigh, Naruto might as well spend the rest of the night in the Kyudo dojo he thought.

“Just going to the dojo to practice kyudo Grannie!” Naruto shouted from the hallway.

“NARUTO!!!! WHO ARE YOU CALLING GRANNIE???” Tsunade screamed from her office, he snickered but the amusement didn’t last long as he could hear the sound of someone running.

“NARUTO!” An angry Tsunade came into sight. Naruto quickly grabbed his bow and closed the door just in time to block the flying book. He snickered again. Well if he couldn’t go on a mission he could at least make fun of Tsunade. Happy with his accomplishment he headed to the dojo at the back of the temple.

Sasuke parked his car half a block away from the temple, after locking the car he headed to the temple. The raven stopped in front of it for a couple of seconds, he saw movement from one of the windows. Strange really how many times he had been here and yet he still had not met any of Naruto’s friends or the ones inhabiting the temple. When he thought about it, he really didn’t know much about the blond in general. Sasuke began walking towards the training grounds, at least he knew this much about Naruto, the blond could not sit still for more than 10 minutes and especially now that he had been quarantined.

Sasuke took the small path that led into the woods in the back of the temple, it was only a 10 minute walk to the training grounds. As he drew closer he could hear the sound of an arrow hitting the target, Sasuke smiled knowing the blond was only a few meters away. The raven picked up his pace a little and he could soon see the moss covered roof of the Kyudo dojo. When he was just a few meters away he saw the blond sitting down on his knees with his eyes closed and his arms to his sides, almost creating a circle. Naruto was wearing his white kimono with a black hakama, in his left hand he held the bow and in his right he held an arrow. Sasuke stopped just as he reached the clearance to the dojo, he had never seen Naruto in his full Kyudo attire. Usually the blond would be shadow sparring and for that he used normal track suits and t-shirts. The raven could not deny that the blond looked really good in the Kyudo attire, even more so with the way the moonlight fell upon him. The golden hair seemed to glow in the moonlight and the sun kissed skin seem to become a darker gold, Sasuke could not help but look down to the exposed chest the kimono was creating. Suddenly, the Uchiha lost the ability to breath, the blond had opened his closed eyes revealing his blue eyes. They were nothing like he had ever seen before, the colour seemed to have changed, from ocean blue to a sapphire blue. But it was not just the colour, there was something else. Something that made Sasuke feel powerless yet powerful at the same time, his chest became warm and his body was filled with a desire to touch Naruto. No, it wasn’t a desire it was a need, he needed to touch the blond, he needed to know the younger boy was real. So many emotions the raven had never felt before, floated around his body, he knew he was attracted to the blond but not like this. For once in his life, Sasuke was completely caught off guard.

Naruto gracefully stood up and let his eyes fall upon the target, 25 meters away. He completely cleared his mind of everything. It was just him and the target, his eyes were filled with power and determination. He gently placed the arrow on his thumb, which held the arrow in the middle of the bow, then he lifted the bow and the arrow over his head. His eyes never leaving the target, his breathing was calm. After a couple of seconds, he lowered the bow pulling back the arrow and the string, positioning it just so the arrow was right next to his right eye. The blond took another couple of deep breaths before closing his left eye aiming with his right. A small breeze lifted the small leaves from the ground and created a small carped in front of the target, but Naruto could still see it clearly. He took one last breath before releasing the arrow, letting it soar through the air and hitting the target right in the centre.

Sasuke watched in astonishment, how graceful Naruto’s movements were, how concentrated he was. This composure and behaviour was a complete opposite of what Naruto usually was, it was strange but nothing bad. The raven’s trance was broken when the sound of the arrow hit its target, the glow the moon created around him never left the blond as Sasuke moved closer.

“Didn’t know you were this good at Kyudo.” Sasuke said, announcing his presence.

“Sasuke …” Naruto smiled, the familiar warm feeling and an extra heart beat spread through the blonds chest. The blond watched as Sasuke let his hands glide over the arrows sitting on one of the boxes right next to him. “Wanna try and shoot?”

“I haven’t done it before,” Sasuke admitted but he couldn’t deny it looked fun, strangely enough.

“Want me to teach you?” Naruto asked, Sasuke let his eyes wander from the arrows to the target then back on to the other boy. The blond’s eyes were beautiful and every time Sasuke looked at them he found himself drowning in them.

“Sure,” the raven answered.

“Alright.” Naruto walked up next to him. “There are different types of feathers …” The blond grabbed 4 different arrows from the different holes in the box.

“This is a Boya, it is a close range fletch-less practice arrow,” Naruto held up an arrow for Sasuke to see. “This one here is also a close range practice arrow but as you can see it is fletched. This one is called a Makiwaraya.” Naruto pointed to the feather at the end of the arrow. “Then there is the arrow I used, a Kazuya. It is a target distance practice arrow. And this one here, a Yotsuya, is also a target distance arrow, but this is a 4 arrow matched set. So when you buy them you get them in a set of 4.” Then Naruto held up the bow he used to fire the arrow.

“And this obviously is the bow or a yumi, if you will. There are three basic ones, the bamboo, lacquered bamboo and synthetic yumi. My yumi is a traditional bamboo yumi, I think it’s the best out of the three types.” Naruto held it out for the raven.

Sasuke let his hand glide over the bamboo, it was a lighter than he thought it would be. After a couple of seconds admiring the bow; he saw that Naruto was holding out a three fingered glove, Sasuke only stared at it.

“You have to wear this, the string is very hard and if you have to shoot more than twice it will hurt your fingers.” Sasuke took the glove from the blond, put the bow down on the ground and proceeded to put the glove on. But after a good half minute he gave up, he had no idea how to tie the glove on his hand.

“Here let me help you.” Naruto chuckled. He took the raven’s hand and began tying the glove around Sasuke’s wrist. Sasuke could feel the warmth of Naruto’s hands as the blond gently brushed against his own skin, his eyes followed the blond’s movements and was a little disappointed when he announced he was done tying the glove. Sasuke opened and closed his hand to try and get used to the glove, it was a bit weird wearing a glove that only covered three fingers and was probably a bit small for his long fingers. . In the mean time Naruto had picked a couple of the Makiwaraya arrows, he figured Sasuke would not be able to shoot far so a close range arrow would be the best to start with.

When Sasuke was done adjusting to the glove the blond motioned with his hand for the Uchiha to come to him. Sasuke took the bow from the floor and walked over to the blond.

“Now stand with your back to me,” the blond instructed. Again Naruto’s hands were on him, too bad it was only to help him adjust into the right pose.

“There … Now place the bow here.” Naruto placed his hand on top of Sasuke’s and led the arrow to the centre of the other male’s body. “Then you place the arrow like this,” Naruto led Sasuke’s other hand, which he held the arrow on, to the bow, never moving his other hand. The raven enjoyed every touch the blond gave, somehow Sasuke felt relaxed standing here with Naruto. It was like everything else, everything outside the dojo, did not really matter. It was just the two of them right now.

“Now look at the target and breath slowly. Lift the bow over your head … continuing to breath slowly.” The blond moved Sasuke’s arms over his head, still holding them. “Now as you guide you arms down pull the string back and move your left hand forward, eyes still fixed on the target … and when you see the arrow at the corner of your eye you stop.” Suddenly he felt Naruto release his gentle hold on his hands, but he didn’t need to be disappointed for long. He could feel the blond place his hands on Sasuke’s waist and move in closer. The blond was about half a head shorter than Sasuke so he leaned his chin on the raven’s shoulder to have a look at the arrow’s path and as Naruto moved from shoulder to shoulder, Sasuke could feel the warm breath coming from the smaller boy’s mouth onto his neck. It made Sasuke shiver. It was almost so, he couldn’t concentrate on the target ahead of him.

“Now focus on the target,” Naruto almost whispered in his ear “empty your mind completely. Listen to the wind, the sounds the forest makes. Now close your left eye and let your right adjust to the target, calculate the distance … Find a spot on the target you want to hit, it doesn’t have to be the centre.” Sasuke did as he was told, he emptied his mind and focused on the target and of course how close Naruto was.

“Now take a deep breath and hold it … then release.” The blond whispered in the raven’s ear. Sasuke let go of the string and he watched how the arrow was soaring thought the sky and hitting the target on the edge. Sure it was not a good but shit he did at least hit the target on his first try. Sasuke lowered his arms, still staring at the arrow as it stood in the target, it was an incredible feeling as he let the arrow go. It was like everything he worried or frustrated about was gone, it was just him and the arrow.

“Well done, you hit the target on your first try.” Naruto said, still not taking his hands away fro Sasuke’s waist. The blond was not really sure why, he liked having his hands there, he like touching Sasuke. The words Iruka had said to him earlier that day were still floating around in his head. Was he really in love? would he always feel this way? The Uchiha had kissed him first, had touched him first. Did that mean Sasuke was also in love, more importantly was the blond able to deal with the emotions. After what Iruka said, being in love seemed to be a lot of effort and different emotions, emotions Naruto had yet to learn and understand.

Suddenly Naruto found himself staring right in to the onyx coloured eyes, Sasuke pale skin seem to shine in the moonlight making the black hair and eyes even more black.

“Well I had a great teacher.” Sasuke said smiling, he turned his body so it was easier to face Naruto. The blond smiled back, glad Sasuke was happy with his shoot. The raven dropped the bow to the ground and placed his arms around Naruto’s neck before slowly pressing his lips on to the blond’s soft ones. Naruto did not struggle this time, instead he tightened his grip on Sasuke’s waist and leaned into the kiss.

Both of them were completely unaware of two pair of green and brown eyes watching the entire scene from the path at the edge of the clearing.
