own a thing…or else Naruto would be rated NC-17
Chapter 7: Learning
Ding.
Dong.
“Sasuke, could you get that. I’m still showering.”
Sasuke grunted putting his newspaper down on the coffee
table and proceeded to open the door to welcome the unwanted guest. He was not
surprised when he found an impassive Shikamaru at the door.
“Come in. Naruto is still showering.”
Shikamaru followed a still mumbling raven inside the cozy
opposite the Uchiha. He was glad that Naruto was nowhere
the hearing range since he has an agenda that he wanted to clear
“I went to Ino yesterday.”
“…”
“You might not remember her, but she’s one of your
Shikamaru watched any tale-tale sign of any form of shock
from his silent companion. If there was any, the raven sure did a good job
hiding it. His face was still impassive and detach. Was he wrong in his
assumptions about the true character of the person in front of him?
was the same person he just saw in a photo when he visited Ino.
“Quit the act Uchiha. I know
yesterday. You didn’t even change, even the slightest
bit. Though I wonder how the hell Naruto didn’t recognize you when you were his
be…” Shikamaru sighed and shook his head as a sudden
realization hit him. “…well Naruto is really an idiot and dense sometimes.”
“…”
“Still not talking. I gave it to
you Uchiha to have such balls to still look
unaffected…”
“What do you want to do now?”
That ticked Shikamaru a bit but he was a patient man, well,
okay he was actually lazy to have a brawl early in the morning. “Why are you
here? Why didn’t you tell Naruto you are ‘him’?”
“I’m here to help in a prank. Am I not?”
“That’s not what I was saying Uchiha.
Why the pretense?”
“I’m going to tell him…but not now. It’s too early for
that…I…we, still need to sort things.”
Shikamaru eyed Sasuke warily, he didn’t
know why but the raven’s words or maybe it was his tone pacified any doubts in
him. He just wished that Naruto wouldn’t be hurt in
the end. “Just don’t hurt him.” ‘Again.’
“Hey, Shika!
You’re early.” Naruto brushed his still damp hair with his fingers while
directing a grin to his newly arrived visitor.
“Che how
troublesome. Here.” A bag was thrown towards the still grinning
“I can’t find a girl for Sasuke to practice with. Rumor might
spread before we even begin our plan, so you have to do, for the mean time.
“What do you m…?” Naruto hurriedly fished for the content of
the bag and was horrified to pull a pair of blouse and skirt. “Oh, hell no
“Ja
“Bastard, get back here.” Naruto wave both his hands in
agitation as he ran towards a sprinting Shikamaru but the bastard was already
outside after a loud click of the door.
Sasuke who was still baffled at their previous conversation
sighed loudly when the irritated blond begun shouting all profanities at the
top of his voice shaming even the people of hell. “I knew this wasn’t going to
work.”
Naruto spun hurriedly towards the sighing raven and put his
death glare into maximum power. “What the hell did you say bastard?”
“I said this wasn’t going to work.” Sasuke shook his head
dismally and sighed again. “You won’t even look like a girl even if you wear
girl’s clothes.”
“WHAT THE HELL BASTARD?!!”
“You will look like a laughing stock.”
Naruto cocked his fist in anger but refrain himself for
inflicting a serious damage to the raven’s face. Yes, he was really on the
verge of doing a murder this very moment but he still had his pride. “You’re on
bastard. Be ready to ogle me.”
With that, Naruto sped towards their room
carrying Shikamaru’s goodies and hurriedly change.
Curses were then heard inside the room as the blond
badmouthed the poor designer of the skirt for making it too short for his
liking. He glanced over his shoulder to look at his back. Well at least his
back looks nice. He smirked at that. He wasn’t teased
and molested like hell in college for having a cute butt for nothing.
“Damn, how do you put this fucking hair clip?”
Sasuke waited for the blond to
emerged and was concocting different kind of insult he would throw to the blond
when the blond showed himself. He was grinning ear to ear as he perfected his
insulting monologue for the blond. He was eager to see
the blond fuming face but to his shock, his happiness was short lived when the
“So what do you have to say now bastard?
like a superhero as he pointed a finger at the raven. He was actually readying
himself for the swarm of insult to be thrown at him by
the raven, but the insults never came. The raven was only staring back at him
in shock.
“…”
“…”
“…”
“Oi, oi
bastard say something.” He was slightly blushing now at the heavy scrutiny
Sasuke was giving him. Well, at least the raven wasn’t
throwing up or something, just in mental break down. “
Naruto move towards the raven, cursing the skirt for
bouncing slightly with each step he took. He also felt
really cold down there too which it irk him the most. He wondered how girls
move in this short skirt without showing the world their whole self. He now
felt a sudden surge of respect to all the girls.
“Oi bastard.
Say something.”
Sasuke was in the verge of mental melt down as the
that he was walking in cat like manner as he tried hard to keep the skirt from
rising up making a tinge of pink show on Sasuke’s
cheek as he painfully watched all of those things happening in front of him.
“Oi…”
“Your cute.”
Naruto stopped on his track and his jaw dropped at the raven
sudden confession. He was not prepared at that statement of praise especially
coming from the most bastard person ever walked on
earth. What would he say to that? Thank you, I do try to make myself pretty for
you.
Inside, Naruto was panicking. His tiny brain was now working
in full force. Sasuke on the other hand has now recovered from his fatal
mistake and was now conditioning his old self not to blush and ogle.
“Dobe, are we going to continue or
what?”
Naruto brain stopped panicking to process
“Surely dobe.
What? You think I’d
compliment you for real? You want me to say you’re beautiful for real?”
“What? No, of course not. This is…
this is just practice. Ne
compliment sat himself near the raven. “Well, do you really think I’m pretty
Sasuke?”
Sasuke almost blush when Naruto winked at him seductively.
The blond is going in character now, well two could
play that game. “Yes, you are very pretty Naruto.” He touched
Naruto felt shivers run down his spine when Sasuke touched
him. He prayed hard to god that he wasn’t blushing.
A soft smile broke on Sasuke face. “Dobe,
don’t fall for me yet. We’re just
practicing.” His smile turned to leer.
Inside, Naruto whack himself on the head for not listening
to the warning bells. He can’t believe he fell for
that. Sasuke was the devil, why can’t he remember that?
He was here to make him suffer for the next thirty years.
“Bastard. Don’t
say hurtful things like that to little ‘ol me.” He
leaned towards the raven and fluttered his lashes at him, which made the raven
gulped for air. Yes, a win for him. Take that bastard.
“Oh, I’m sorry. It’s very rude of
me. Please accept my apology.” Sasuke smirked and clutched
‘Oh, your going down
towards Sasuke as he touched his chest with other hand. “I’ll only accept your
apology if you give me something in return.”
Sasuke was grinning from ear to ear. He knew what Naruto was
planning and he will not lose to the idiot, pride be
damn. “Anything.” He brushed his hand through
touch. Yes, his point. See if the blond
can win that.
Naruto gritted his teeth at the grin Sasuke was giving him.
The bastard knew he was winning, but Naruto was a steadfast opponent.
and whispered huskily “Kiss me.” ‘take that you bastard.’
Naruto was doing a victory dance inside. It’s
only be a second till Sasuke freak out. What he didn’t
realize that a smirk was forming on Sasuke’s lips as
he was pulling away. He was preoccupied that he didn’t
realize that the raven leaned towards him too. Their noses
merely touching. “You really want me to kiss you?”
Naruto felt Sasuke’s breath mixing
with his as he hyperventilates. Their lips nearly touching and it seems like
Sasuke would not back down even if it means kissing him for real. Shit!
“…”
“…”
A loud cracking was heard signaling
Naruto’s resolve cracking. His mind was melting
rapidly. A white flag was then raise to admit defeat.
“W-wha…
Sasuke smirked as Naruto pushed him off and run off towards
the door while mumbling ‘ineedtoseeShikamaru’
skirt and blouse.
Sasuke: one point.
