DespairingAngel: Ukon is explained in the companion fic Musette in D Minor.
Yum2: No, Sakon is Ukon's brother and he controls the main body, but he can merge too (as is shown in the chapter they perish in).
GigaBomb121: He is more touchy, I would like to interpret him as moody but I'll have to gradually integrate that -- if he wasn't sort of nice at the start it wouldn't work out.
Now, what you've all been waiting for...
Chapter 3: Train!
Naruto's eyelids fluttered open as his alarm went off. Quickly he turned it off and ran intio the kitchen. But one thing kept nagging at him. 'Something happened yesterday that makes it so that I shouldn't be walking around naked...' he thought, straining to remember as he scratched near his privates. Shrugging the feeling off, he began to pour his cornflakes and a note tumbled out with them. 'Bring Sakon with you to practice,' it read in Kakashi's writing. Naruto's eyes widened. 'That's what that feeling was for! I have someone else here!' he thought as he dashed off towards his room. Unfortunately, his race against time was brought to an abrupt halt when he crashed into said guest as he emerged from his sleeping chambers. "Sorry!" Naruto said as he picked himself up off the floor. "It's okay," was Sakon's reply. Naruto looked over to see his expression at the nude preteen. Sakon had raised eyebrows, but was blushing profusely, and it was clear why. Naruto wasn't the only one who slept in his birthday suit. "Er... I can explain... I didn't remember that you were waking up at six...." Sakon told Naruto quickly. Naruto laughed. "That's okay, I didn't remember that I had a guest," he explained. "Besides, I was going to have to wake you up soon anyways, I have to take you to ninja practice today." "Oh, don't worry about waking me up, I'll probably already be awake. Ninja practice? Cool. But are you sure? You're a Genin still, right?" Sakon inquired. "Yeah, I am," was the reply. "Well, I'm not a Genin, and I don't really want to be executed for killing your teammates," Sakon worried. "Don't sweat the small stuff, Sakura-chan and I can hold our own," Naruto soothed. "Anyways, let's get dressed and I will see you in the kitchen."
In the kitchen, Sakon decided upon eating Vector ('Good source of Iron,' he explained) for breakfast and Naruto stayed with his untrustworthy note-writing Corn Flakes. Then, once they were done, it was off to training.
Sakon watched, astonished, as at 9:00 AM precisely Kakashi showed up and Sakura and Naruto yelled, "YOU'RE LATE!!" at him. "What can I say? I had to help James Bond refill his swimming pool with lime jello and whipped cream, then I had to help a dog cross it," the sensei explained. "LIAR!" the two genin shouted. "Sir," Sakon interrupted the ritual, "Sorry for interrupting, but why am I to train with you? I'm a Chuunin, and they're Genins. What if I injure them badly?" Kakashi shrugged. "We don't have a third team member, and the Chuunin Exam is in a few months. Besides, they can hold their own."
"Okay, your training for today is: You must all hide, and if I find all of you, you lose, but if I don't find even one of you by six o'clock, then you win. You must stay within the Ninja Academy. Go!" Kakashi said. Naruto decided to be a good host and inform Sakon about where to hide as Kakashi counted down from 200. "You can hide in the staff room, but the attic is probably best," he explained, thinking that Sakon would be caught easily because he didn't know anything about the school. "Don't worry, I'll be fine," Sakon reassured.
"Well, guys, I guess you win," Kakashi said as he scratched his head. It had just turned six, and after finding Naruto and Sakura, he had searched for Sakon, whom they had not yet found. "Sakon, you can come out now!" Naruto yelled. Sakon emerged from the entrance to the school. He smiled. "We win?" "Yeah! Where'd you hide?" Naruto questioned. "A potted plant," Sakon replied. "A potted plant?" Sakura asked disbelievingly. Sakon nodded. "Want a demonstration?" "Sure," she answered. He reached out his hand and touched a tree. His hand sank into the tree. "Sometimes I get stuck," he added as he pulled it out again. "Class dismissed," Kakashi said after a minute's pause.
"Cool technique!" Naruto exclaimed at supper that night. "Thanks, it's my bloodline limit," Sakon replied as he munched on his food. "What do we do after supper?" "Well... I usually train," Naruto answered thoughtfully, "But if you don't want to then we can do something else..." "No, I want to train," Sakon interrupted.
After supper, Naruto and Sakon walked a bit into the forest to prepare themselves for a friendly spar. The evening air was cool and the crickets were already chirping, making the setting seem perfect under the darkening sky. "Ready? Go!" Naruto yelled as he leapt into the air and flung a few shuriken at his adversary. Sakon caught them between his fingers and punched at Naruto with the shuriken. Naruto dodged this and kicked at Sakon, who ducked and headbutted Naruto's leg. Naruto landed awkwardly as a result, which gave Sakon the opportunity to tackle him to the ground and hold a kunai to his throat. Sakon's legs were entangled in his and Naruto could feel the slight rise and fall of his chest as he breathed. "Gotcha," Sakon whispered before standing up and holding his hand out to Naruto. Naruto just stared at the other boy for a minute, then shook his head, took Sakon's hand and stood up. "That was fast," he remarked, and Sakon nodded. "That's because I'm a Chuunin and you're a Genin still," he said. Naruto appraised him for a second and decided, "You're proud that you got that far." Sakon blushed slightly, nodded and looked away. "I... Can't really do much else but fight..." he said in a tone tinged with sadness. Naruto was surprised. "Really?" "Yeah... I don't have any outstanding talents..." Sakon answered softly. "Don't you collect something, practise a fine art, play a sport, anything....?" Naruto questioned. "Uh... I don't really collect anything.... I don't do fine arts..." "You do so collect something! You collect clothes!" Sakon giggled a bit. "What kind of music do you listen to?" Naruto pressed. "Pop... Blues..." "And a sport?" "Football!" Sakon said with emphasis. "I play football!"
Naruto looked up at the ceiling and wondered why he had felt sorry for Sakon when he had heard the other boy's lament of passtimes. It had been about three hours since they had gotten home (Naruto had watched TV while Sakon took a bath for two hours). Naruto had been trying to get to sleep for the last hour, but hadn't been able to. He had this question on his mind, and couldn't answer it. It was his nature to care, but.... He had this weird feeling about the other boy's sadness. Hehad felt sadder than usual about it. And then there was this other feeling that concerned Sakon that he didn't understand.
