A Strange Circumstance

Chapter 1

The academy had just ended and Naru was hiding. It was always around this time that Sasuke, the top student, would come and find her. Since their accidental kiss a week ago, he'd been a bit overly curious for Naru's comfort. This would've been put to an end exactly six days ago if the Hokage hadn't announce an impromptu halt to the academy's plans due to 'some unforeseen circumstances'.

Just one more day, Naru thought, then we'd be in different teams and I'd never have to see him again.

"Dobe." Startled, Naru almost fell from the branch she was perched on.

"Teme!" Naru hissed. "How'd you find me?" And hopped down in an almost feline grace.

"Tell me what I want to know, usuratonkachi." Sasuke faced the blonde with blank look, not that it fooled Naru any. She knew exactly how curious the bastard was under that blank look. She could even go as far as to assume that if Sasuke was a cat, he'd already be dead six feet under.

"And what exactly do you want to know, bastard?" Naru glared at him.

"Are you a girl?" Sasuke was blunt and quick to the point.

"Teme! Do I look like a girl?" The raven haired boy wanted to groan. For weeks he'd been trying to weasel the answer out of her. And she'd answer his questions with a question of her own. It was aggravating!

"Are you using a genjutsu?" He tried probing.

"I don't know, teme! Am I any good at genjutsu?" And how was Sasuke supposed to know? It's not like some students didn't hide their potential! This was a ninja world! Deception were their best friend!

So, Sasuke went for trying to glare the answer out of her. And none spoke for a few intense minutes. Using that chance, Sasuke took the time to observe her. Because there was no way that Naruto wasn't a she!

Staring at her from head to toe, Sasuke had to admit that Naru looked really feminine with her full pouty lips, large cerulean eyes, and baby face. Not to mention, she was really short, shorter than any boys their age. But at the same time, Naruto also looked like a boy with her short, spiky hair and boyish attitude.

"Are you checking me out?" Naru squeaked out in disbelief, her eyes wide and her mouth agape.

Sasuke almost rolled his eyes. The dobe was so dramatic! "Hn."

"I'm leaving, teme! Don't even think of following me!" And Naru stormed her way out of there.

A few seconds after, Sasuke turned around and sighed heavily. When exactly was he gonna get his answers? His efforts seemed wasted, but he wasn't about to give up. Sure there were many ways to figure out Naruto's secret, but he wasn't about to stoop that low.

Staring at his hands, he thought back to their accidental kiss. That incident was what started it all. He was definitely not imagining the soft balls he'd groped on her chest. And those lips! Not like he'd ever kissed anyone before, but generally, guys don't have soft lips that tasted sweet and addictive.

Maybe he really is a guy, the raven thought, but if he is then why won't he just say it outright?

Then his eyes widened in surprise and he had to keep himself from laughing at his own stupidity. Naruto had always been a horrible liar. So to keep from exposing herself, she'd refused to answer. Because for some reason she was keeping her gender a secret and answering either 'yes' or 'no' would've given him his answer. And despite being dead last, Naruto was smart enough to keep her mouth shut.

Sasuke smirked, now all he needed to do was affirm his assumption.

A/N:

I'm sorry. It seems like I made Sasuke dumb…

Anyway, read and review.
