What Dreams May Come.

Warning Yaoi(boy x boy relationships) don’t read if you don’t like.



AN: I am almost finished with Different Perspectives so that should relieve some of my stress from writing three stories at once. This chapter was so hard to write. It had me tearing out my hair for two days. I’m still not 100% happy with the classroom scene but I stuck with it. This chapter is a little shorter than normal but not too much. I could have made it longer but I where I left off was better for what I have planned for the next chapter. And for everyone’s information, this is the longest kiss I have ever written. LOL. As always let me know if anything sticks out as horrible and I hope everyone enjoys this chapter. In case anyone missed it, per request of a couple of readers, I have an email alert for this story. If you want to receive an email alerting you when I update, send an email titled What Dreams May Come, to dbat@alltel.net.



What Dreams May Come



Chapter Eight



Sasuke schooled his face as he entered the classroom. His eyes zoomed in on Naruto, who was speaking quietly with Hinata beside the podium. Sasuke felt another twitch of jealousy spear through his insides at the way Hinata was blushing at Naruto. Naruto looked up and smiled when he saw Sasuke enter the room. His heart jumped at the powerful emotion hidden just under the surface of those sapphire blue eyes. Sasuke felt the anger draining away and took his seat in the classroom. Amazing that one smile could send his emotions to the complete opposite spectrum. Other students began to filter in slowly as the hands on the clock neared nine.



“Good morning, class. Since the last class was the get to know you, today we will start with the actual class part.” grinned Naruto.



Several students groaned, Shikamaru simply plopped his head on his arms and drifted off. Naruto figured the boy would be fine when it came to the essays so as long as he turned his work in on time, sleeping in class would be acceptable. However, Naruto also knew that Shikamaru heard every word in class, he just didn’t deem it important enough to warrant actual participation.



“Past to Present is a FCU required course for all freshmen. This class deals with the past of Fire Country and the changes that have happened. Now I prefer to teach this class as a discussion instead of lecture. That means 50% of your final grade comes from class participation. Do you understand, Shikamaru?”



The brunette simply lifted his hand in acknowledgement and snuggled deeper into his arms. Naruto arched a blonde brow at the boy. Several of the students laughed. It was obvious that Uzumaki Naruto would be a pleasant teacher. Nervous tension in the class eased.



“We will start in ancient times and work our way up towards the present. Your syllabus has reading assignments for each class. I would suggest you read before class so you can be prepared to participate. Any questions before we begin?” finished Naruto, scanning the classroom with his eyes.



Naruto couldn’t help that his eyes were drawn to Sasuke. Every few minutes he felt them drifting back towards the raven haired boy. It was almost as if he was afraid that if he looked away for too long that he would disappear. He felt the heat of Sasuke’s gaze almost as if it was a physical touch. To be so close and yet have so far to go was a daunting feeling. He was just getting used to seeing him again. The emotions he had to tamp down each day were nearly overwhelming. Closing his eyes, Naruto stepped towards the white board and wrote, with an orange marker, the word ‘shinobi’.



“What were the shinobi?” asked Naruto.



“Pure legend.” answered Neji, immediately.



“Why do you say that?” asked Naruto.



“Obliviously, if there ever were such people as shinobi, then there would have been more records left by them.” answered Neji.



“Yea, and the things they were supposedly capable of doing are too fantastical to be real.” chimed in Sakura.



“You think so?” asked Naruto, asking the question to keep the discussion moving.



“They were able to control the elements, walk on water, move faster than could be seen with the naked eye and summon great beasts of legend. I don’t know of anyone that can do that sort of thing.” stated Ino.



“Alright, think for a moment. These men and women would have trained their bodies and minds to withstand harsh conditions. They would carry with them tools in order to deal with the enemy. Some of these tools might have been able to trick the enemy into thinking that they had special talents and abilities.” lied Naruto.



It really broke his heart to have to say such things to them. It was true that shinobi trained hard and did use tools but also, the use of chakra could be considered magic in today’s world. With the vanishing of the shinobi, so vanished the knowledge of the chakra pathways. What he wouldn’t give to be able to show them all what a true shinobi could do. He bit the inside of his lip to keep from blurting out the truth.



Sasuke’s quick eyes caught the flash of pain in Naruto’s eyes. His own narrowed and his gaze intensified. What had caused the look of such sadness in those blue depths? What was the bubbly blonde hiding that could cause such pain to be seen in his eyes?



“Who’s to s-say t-that there is n-no s-such thing as m-magic?” asked Hinata, in her soft voice.



“HA! If there is such a thing as controlling the elements or walking on water, I will eat my left nut.” boomed Kiba.



Naruto started snickering at that comment. ‘Oh if only he knew.’ he thought to himself. If Kiba knew what Naruto did, then human testicles would be on the menu for lunch.



“You are all so troublesome. There is obviously a documented Great Shinobi War. The fact that the word shinobi is in it shouldn’t be the only clue that at least to a certain degree there were people that called themselves shinobi. Whether or not they could actually do anything supernatural is irrelevant.” said Shikamaru before once again lowering his head to his desk.



‘Well, at least he deemed the topic worthy of participation.’ thought Naruto.



“Thanks for the input, Shikamaru.” said Naruto.



The rest of the class continued on the same debate. Some debated possibilities of skills, while others argued the existence at all. It wasn’t long before time was up and class was over. Naruto was glad that by the end of the class, everyone had contributed something towards the discussion. Neji had proved to be especially vocal in the discussion and surprisingly enough so was Hinata.



Naruto smiled, it was a good start to the class. He was packing up his belongings when he saw Sasuke exit the room. Grabbing his briefcase, Naruto chased after the dark haired boy. He really wanted a chance to talk with him before he disappeared.



“Hey Sasuke.” called Naruto to the boy. Sasuke stopped and turned to face him. Naruto paused and looked into the midnight eyes. He didn’t say anything for several seconds, he was so lost in those eyes.



“What do you want, dobe?”



“I told you don’t call me that. You should give me my proper respect.” ground out Naruto.



“Hn, alright, Professor Dobe. How’s that?” smirked Sasuke. It seemed to fit, this back and forth banter. It seemed almost like…foreplay. Sasuke felt heat rising beneath his skin. Foreplay? What the fuck? First, he’s jealous. Then, he can’t take his eyes from the man, and now, foreplay.



“I want to spar with you some more. When are you finished with classes?” asked Naruto.



“Not until three.” answered Sasuke, blinking coming back from the disturbing train his thoughts had hopped on. Naruto noticed the faint blush on the pale cheeks but decided to give the boy a small reprieve from teasing. At least for now. If the thoughts had warranted a blush, they must have been interesting indeed.



“SASUKE-KUN!” yelled Sakura from across the quad.



Naruto smirked as he noticed the faint blush on Sasuke’s cheeks fade to a deathly pale color at the shout. He really should do something about Sakura but it was just too fun to watch her chase Sasuke. He knew that it annoyed Sasuke and therefore Naruto had nothing to fear from the pink haired girl. He supposed sooner or later though, he would need to set her up with Lee. The two had been very much in love in their previous life. Marrying Sakura had calmed Lee down immensely.



Deciding that one little tease was due before leaving, Naruto leaned down and whispered in Sasuke’s ear. He made sure that his breath teased the fine hairs on the pale ear.



“Meet me in the dojo at three-thirty.” whispered Naruto, before he headed towards his office, leaving Sasuke to fend off the fan-girls alone.



Sasuke swallowed hard. The feel of warm breath on the shell of his ear had sent heat curling through his stomach. It was so, so hard to fight back the shiver that had wanted to course through his body. Sasuke stood shell shocked as Naruto turned and walked away, leaving him to the mercy of Sakura.



“Sasuke-kun, lets walk to class together.” chirped Sakura happily as she linked an arm through his.



Sasuke shot her a dead panned look and shrugged from her arm. He was even more annoyed with the blonde idiot for distracting him and allowing Sakura to sink her claws into him. He was almost tempted to blow off the blonde at three-thirty. A dark brooding cloud hovered over Sasuke. Even Sakura gave him some space, noting the dark cloud that seemed to hover over the raven haired boy.



Sasuke completely ignored the girl and made his way towards his psychology class. Sakura trailed behind him like a faithfully, chattering like a magpie. Sasuke rolled his eyes at her antics. Didn’t she know that acting like a love sick puppy and chasing after him only served to completely turn him off? Sasuke pushed her completely from his mind as his thoughts drifted towards the blonde once again. Fucking asshole, leaving him at the mercy of a fan girl. There would be hell to pay when he met him for their sparring session. The thought of beating up the blonde brought a slight smirk to his lips. That thought sustained him through the day.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Naruto shifted nervously on the balls of his feet. He knew he shouldn’t expect Sasuke for at least twenty more minutes but that didn’t stop him from glancing at the door every few seconds. It really was nerve wracking to wait on him. Nervous shifting changed to nervous pacing. It was getting harder and harder to keep things slow. Everything in his being wanted to claim his reborn lover.



Ten minutes passed, then twenty. Naruto’s nerves were completely frayed by the time the sliding door opened to reveal Sasuke, dressed once again loose cotton pants and a tight t-shirt. The plain black shirt hugged his body like a second skin, defining the hard cut of a body toned from years of martial arts training. His black eyes were at half mast and his lips curled in that slight smirk that had always meant trouble for Naruto. Naruto had to catch himself to keep drool from leaking from the corner of his lips. Sasuke looked so damn fuckable that Naruto felt his libido go into overdrive.



“Hey, Sasuke.” greeted Naruto, with a raise of his hand. His face broke out in a happy grin.



“Hn” grunted Sasuke as he took his position across from Naruto and went through a few stretches to loosen his muscles for the spar. The touch of Naruto’s eyes on his body made his dark mood worsen. First he left him to Sakura, then ogled him. The sad part was that Sasuke wasn’t sure he wouldn’t welcome advances from the blonde.



“So…uh…Sasuke, how were your classes?” asked Naruto, as he tried to keep from jumping the boy.



“Nothing special, psychology with Ibiki-sensei, Introduction to philosophy with Asuma-sensei. I had the express pleasure of walking Sakura to Psych, thanks to you.” answered Sasuke, the dark gleam back in his eyes. Naruto winced.



“Sorry about leaving you to her.” winced Naruto. He knew how Sakura could be. She was worse than a dog with a bone when it came to something that she wanted.



“Lets just spar.” said Sasuke.



Sasuke didn’t wait for Naruto to acknowledge the statement. He lunged into an attack. There was no holding back. Naruto’s honed instincts were the only thing that stopped a fist from being plowed into his face. Jumping back, Naruto went on the defensive against Sasuke.



“What the fuck, Sasuke?” yelled Naruto as he spent the next few minutes dodging the rapidly thrown punches and kicks. It was very reminiscent of the actual sparring that he and Sasuke had participated in a thousand years ago. Sasuke was out to get him and not in a good way. Naruto had his hands full just defending against the attacks and Sasuke showed no inclination to stop any time soon.



“I’m going to kick your ass. Ever since I met you my life has turned itself upside down.” growled Sasuke.



“Ouch, FUCK.” screamed Naruto, as Sasuke landed a particularly painful blow to his shoulder. Sasuke didn’t let up, he kept attacking full force, anger and frustration driving his attacks.



“Fine you want to play rough? I’ll show you rough, teme.” growled Naruto.



‘If the fucker wanted to play with the big fox then he had better beware of the teeth.’ growled Naruto to himself.



Kyuubi rolled his eyes at the interaction of the two. The two of them had always fought like cats and dogs and then fucked each other senseless afterwards. This would be no different with the exception that Naruto probably wouldn’t get the pleasure of fucking Sasuke senseless. Naruto would probably be jacking himself off in the shower within the hour. Kyuubi chuckled to himself at the thought of his blonde carrier continually being frustrated by his soul mate. Kyuubi was really enjoying Naruto’s plight. The two of them together was popcorn-movie night worthy. He really couldn’t wait to see what would happen next.



Unaware of the inner enjoyment of Kyuubi, Naruto switched gears on Sasuke. One moment the raven was dominating the battle, the next the blonde took control. Both were excellent fighters and skilled in hand-to-hand combat. The only difference between the two was that Naruto had about a thousand years more experience than Sasuke. When he pushed his advantage, Naruto was in a completely different league.



Unaware of his control starting to slip, Naruto started adding a bit of chakra to his attacks, resulting in more painful hits. Even as he blocked the attacks, Sasuke felt the sting of the attack. He was tiring much faster than Naruto. Sweat was pouring off of both of them, droplets dripped from their hair and trickled down their necks.



Sasuke, nearing his limit, failed to respond fast enough to Naruto dropping to the floor and kicking his legs out from under him. He hit the floor hard, the breath knocked out of him. Naruto was on top of him in a flash, pinning his arms beside him. Sasuke had no energy left to struggle. All he could do was lay there beneath the blonde and glare daggers at him.



Naruto gazed down at the panting boy beneath him. Sasuke’s eyes flashed darkly up at him. His cheeks were flushed from the exertion and sweat glistened over his whole body. His chest heaved from the match. The tight, thin shirt that he wore was pasted damply against his skin. He had never looked more desirable to Naruto.



“What the fuck is wrong with you?” asked Naruto, still not releasing the pinned arms.



Sasuke didn’t answer, he simply broke eye contact. He didn’t want to tell the man that he didn’t know. He just knew that he was frustrated with so many things and didn’t know how to deal with it. He didn’t know what was wrong and that scared the fuck out of him.



“Well?” asked Naruto, this time giving Sasuke a little shake with the question.



“I DON’T FUCKING KNOW, ALRIGHT.” screamed Sasuke.



Naruto’s gaze softened. He released the hands he held in his grip. It wasn’t fair of him to push Sasuke like this. He was ashamed of himself for trying to rush it. He was just so lonely. It hurt to see Sasuke and not be able to pull him in his arms. It tore him up inside to have all these memories and not be able to share them with the soul that had made them. This was a burden he wouldn’t wish on anyone.



“I’m sorry, Sasuke. I’ve fucked things up again.” whispered Naruto, reaching up to brush aside a stray lock of hair from Sasuke‘s face.



“What?”



“Heh, I always mess things up. I try to make things perfect and I always find a way to fuck them up. I guess I should apologize in advance for this. I’ve been alone too long and I really need this.” whispered Naruto.



Without further words, Naruto leaned down and covered Sasuke’s parted ones with his own. Electricity shot through his system, short circuiting all reason. The only thing he could do was feel, feel the softness of Sasuke’s lips, feel the sensation of completion. If Naruto was a religious man, he would say that he was having a divine experience. It was that powerful. A kiss to put all others to shame.



Sasuke felt the breath still in his chest at the touch of lips. They were warm, gentle and tasted faintly of green tea. For some reason, Sasuke felt bereft. He wasn’t exactly sure why, but he had expected them to taste faintly of miso flavored ramen.



The slight teasing of a warm tongue forced what little cognitive thought there was from his mind. His lips parted and the tongue pushed inside. His own thrust forward to meet it, as if greeting an old friend. His hands of their own accord lifted to tangle in blonde locks. They didn’t feel like they looked. Instead of coarse, the spikes were soft and silky. It was like holding golden sunshine in his hands.



Naruto moaned into Sasuke’s mouth at the feel of his hands in his hair. They pulled him closer, deepening the kiss even more. Tongues tangled and dueled in an ageless dance. Neither fought for dominance, it was an equal giving and taking. Naruto opened his eyes to watch the raven haired boy’s reactions. Midnight eyes were closed and the flush of anger had been replaced by a blush of desire.



Naruto ran his tongue along smooth white teeth and up to tease the roof of Sasuke’s mouth. It was now Sasuke’s turn to moan into the kiss. Naruto slid his thigh between Sasuke’s sprawled legs and pressed against the hardness that was beginning to form at the apex of the raven’s legs. Sasuke grunted and his hips jerked bringing more friction and causing him to break the kiss that had seemed to last forever.



Sasuke jerked when he felt the touch of Naruto’s thigh against his erection. His own hips jerked in response to the pleasure that shot through his body. Fear shot through him. What was he doing? He didn’t know how to deal with all of these emotions and sensations that were rocketing through his body. Giving a hard shove, Sasuke pushed Naruto from his body and shot to his feet, his breath came in heated gasps. He had to get out of here. He needed some place to think.



Slowly, he backed away from where Naruto still sat on the floor. Sasuke’s eyes were wide like a frightened deer caught in the scope of a hunter. His lips were swollen and bruised from the kiss.



“Sasuke…” began Naruto.



Sasuke didn’t wait for Naruto to finish what he was going to say. Bolting from the room, he only paused by the locker room to grab his bag before rushing from the building and towards home, his mind spinning with what had just happened.



Naruto sat in shock on the floor of the dojo. His heart was crumbling around him at the look of hurt and fear in Sasuke‘s eyes. This wasn’t how it was supposed to be. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Naruto bowed his head and gazed at the floor until damp spots began to appear on the soft material that covered the dojo floor. Reaching up, he realized that they were caused by tears that were running down his cheeks. When had he started crying?



‘You idiot.’ sighed Kyuubi.



“…”



‘You couldn’t wait? I’m sure he would have calmed down after a few minutes of pounding on you. Not like you couldn’t take it. But no…you had to go and lose your temper. And then to make matters worse, you kissed him. What part of take it slow didn’t you understand?’



“Kyuubi, I don’t know what to do.” whispered Naruto.



‘The only thing we can do now is wait until he cools off.’ growled Kyuubi before settling once more in his cage. This was fucked up. If Naruto couldn’t handle the task it would be time to call in help. Gods, it irked Kyuubi to think of those two actually doing anything useful in this situation. 'Looks like its nearly time to let Naruto in on the little secret.' thought Kyuubi.



Naruto took a shaky breath and stood. He needed to go home. It was a lonely ride to the house. Once in the attractive house, Naruto closed the door and slid down it to rest on the floor. Drawing his legs up against his chest, Naruto rested his head on them. Today was one of those days that he truly felt his age.



Standing and walking to the small study, Naruto pulled the small metal forehead protector from the glass case he kept it safe in. Tears came again, and flowed freely down his face. Clutching Sasuke’s forehead protector, Naruto cried and fell to his knees.



“Have I ruined everyting?” he whispered to a silent house.
