Leaves flew in a gentle breeze with a quiet hush sound, before falling to the ground. The trees swayed as if to some internal tune, branches flowing gently. Soft tweets and the occasional flutter of wings were the contribution of the birds to the amazing scene. The training grounds were seemingly empty, which was strange because it was midday and the young genin were supposed to be training for the chuunin exams, which were rapidly approaching.

Suddenly, about two kunai flew into a tree trunk and stuck there. This, of course, disturbed the birds who knew what the flying kunai meant and so they flew away quickly while squawking.

A loud thud was heard, followed by a yell of, "Flame style! Fire ball jutsu!" Then there was a great burst of red and orange light from the forest. A young blond boy probably around thirteen years old flung himself from the forest and landed on his feet in the middle of the training ground with a yell. He had dodged the attack but only narrowly at the price of his orange and blue jacket getting burned at on the sleeve. He took it off and threw it to the side, throwing a kunai in the direction of his unseen opponent in the process.

"Shadow clone jutsu!" In a flash there were another twenty blond orange clad boys around him. There was a triumphant smirk on his face but that was wiped clean when his opponent finally appeared. His tan skin was darker on his cheeks from the ongoing battle, his whisker marks still very visible.

He was exceptionally handsome for a young boy. His jet black bangs swayed over his black eyes as he huffed slightly, wiping his mouth from the residue of the flame jutsu. His shirt also flared slightly, showing his jutting hips and barely there abs. He was rather pale, but his cheeks were flushed now.

"I guess it's time to up my game a little, eh, Naruto?" The dark haired boy said softly, but loud enough for Naruto to hear. The blond boy made a growling noise while his shadow clones began to run towards the dark haired boy.

"Sasuke!" The blond boy yelled while running towards Sasuke with a glint in his eyes. Sasuke's eyes were closed and he looked serene, his arms loose at his sides. This made the blond confused, thus causing him to slow down. Then the boy opened his eyes, showing a fearful sight. The blond boy stopped dead in his tracks while his shadow clones over took him.

Sasuke's eyes were a glowing red that could only be one thing. Sharingan. But unlike the only sharingan that Naruto had seen, this was both eyes. This was a trait of the Uchiha clan and a damn good trump to the blond boys' shadow clones.

"What's the matter, Uzumaki?" Sasuke asked sarcastically while fighting off the shadow clones as if they were measly flies that needed to be swatted. Once he had destroyed all of them he stood still for a second, panting lightly, before gracefully strolling towards Naruto with a smirk on his face. The dark haired boy gave Naruto a harsh shove that sent him to the floor and within a millisecond he was straddled by Sasuke, whose arms were now on either side of his head.

Sasuke, because of his sharingan, could sense that something had changed in Naruto from before. He seemed more… tense and kind of frustrated about something. The dark haired boy raised a perfect eyebrow at the whiskered blond.

He shook his head furiously, almost as furiously as his blush was appearing. Sasuke was confused by this which showed. He blinked twice and by the third blink, the sharingan was gone. He finally realized what position he was in when he shifted slightly, his hips meeting Naruto's in the process and the blond let out a low oath and a tiny, barely audible moan while shuddering.

Sasuke got off of Naruto quicker than lighting and then calmed himself with deep, even breaths. Naruto was still on the ground, panting. He placed his hands behind his head and closed his eyes, trying to relax after what had just happened. Sasuke thought that maybe he had sat on a sensitive place and hurt him… Was that it?

"Dobe? You… okay?" Sasuke asked wearily, still not entirely sure what had happened. The entire atmosphere had changed now and it honestly made him uncomfortable not knowing why.

Naruto never did answer the question.

Leaves were once again flying around the two boys. The wind howled and Naruto sneezed softly.

"Bless… you, Naruto." Sasuke hesitated when Naruto looked up at him, looking terrified. He offered a hand to the blond who muttered quiet thanks and then dropped his hand like he had the plague once he was on his feet. After that, Naruto was staring rather intently at the ground.

Sasuke looked at him with a concerned look blossoming on his angular face that so many lusted after, and then he glanced at the sky, sighing deeply. Then his face went blank while he stared at the boy sitting on the ground again. He had sat back down in pure frustration and fatigue from the earlier battle, even though Sasuke had just helped him up.

The pale Uchiha heard a sniffle beneath him and released a shaky gasp when he saw tears on his face.

"Naruto…? Wha—" Before he could finish his sentence, the boy was up on his feet, running off into the forest. Sasuke assumed that he would be at the top of a tree, sorting out his thoughts. Not that the Uchiha would know what they were, but he was smart enough to realize that something was bothering his teammate. Either way, it bothered the Uchiha more than anything that he did not know. He hated when he didn't know something that another person did.

So, in true Uchiha fashion, he sat on the training field, a cold, expressionless look on his face. He tried to suss out what had happened between him and Naruto, but he just couldn't place what it was. He knew that it had something with him straddling the boy. Naruto had moaned when he shifted which meant… Oh god.

Naruto… liking Sasuke? Like, Like like Sasuke? He had never thought of him in that way before. Actually, the dark haired boy had never thought of anyone in that way before, boy or girl. He didn't like to judge a person based only on their gender. It seemed illogical to him.

Maybe he should go find the blond boy.

Yeah. That sounds good

Sasuke was now walking around the forest calling out Naruto's name when he heard a bush rustle a few yards from him. He immediately pulled out a kunai and stood in a battle pose.

"Who is there?" He said in a loud and rather intimidating voice. The bush rustled again and then a soft, feminine voice spoke from behind him.

"Sasuke-kun? What are you doing here?" Sakura looked a tiny bit rattled by something. She walked toward the Uchiha and stopped this far away from his face.

"Um, I was looking for… Excuse me. Please get out of my face, thanks. As I was saying, I was looking for Naruto-kun. Have you seen him anywhere around here?" Sasuke most certainly did not need the pink haired girl to stall him. He needed to see Naruto now.

"No, I haven't, but maybe you could stay with me—" Sasuke was already walking away from her. She stuttered and placed her hand over her mouth. Sakura was shocked at his bluntness and then resumed practicing climbing the trees. Her chakra control was already perfected but she wanted to be better than Naruto.

It was nearing late afternoon now, the sun relinquishing its heat for a cold piercing wind that was howling viciously. Now Sasuke was getting worried about his teammate and was desperately searching. Eventually, he found the other boy on a tree, as predicted, but he was leaning against the base trunk with his face in his hands. Assuming that he was crying again, Sasuke tried to figure out a way to get his attention without startling him.

He could not think of any better way than to go up there himself and talk to him and, if need be, restrain him from running away. He needed answers and he was going to get them. He silently jumped up the tree, trying not to startle him as he sat down opposite him.

"Naruto." He said softly, almost in a casual tone which was rather unusual because Sasuke was almost always sarcastic or mocking when he spoke to Naruto in the past.

Naruto gasped loudly and pulled his head out of his arms so fast that he hit it on the trunk of the tree. He clutched at his head in pain, the tears on his face rolling. His mouth was open and he was obviously holding in a yell of pain. His bright blue eyes were shut tight, also a sign of pain. He had obviously hit his head really hard and that made Sasuke feel guilty.

"Oh my, are you okay?" Sasuke was right on top of Naruto, holding his head in his hands while gently stroking it.

"G-Get away from me!" Naruto yelled, but did not seem to be making any attempts at pushing him away, "Why are you here, anyway?" The growled question was choked with tears. Naruto eventually rested his hands on the arms that were around his head.

"I… I got worried about you. Why did you run off?" Sasuke was still gently stroking the back of the boys head, hoping to calm him down.

Naruto froze, then sighed. He was about to tell Sasuke when they heard a voice call out,

"Sasuke! Naruto! What're you two doing up there!"
