A/N: This fanfic is dedicated to Itooshi Koneko. She wanted a SasuFemNaru fanfic. I finally decided how it is going to be; and I am determined to finish this.
Chapter One
He was her sun.
He was the only thing that has gave her guts to hold her head up high even if the world is crashing down. It was because of him that she has learned to never quit, never back down, never look back.
Uchiha Sasuke is her sun.
They have been best friends since forever; a word not enough to describe their bond. Eternity, however, is too strong to use for they only know little things about each other.
All started when they were younger. Their parents were best of friends since they are also business associates. They even teased the two of them to tie the knot someday and make lots of pretty babies.
Young as they were, they were repulsed to the idea and told their parents that friends do not "hook up" with each other. It was just unnatural.
"Besides, boys are yucky," she once said.
"Oh yeah? You girls have cooties," Sasuke retorted to the blond, glaring at her. The two suddenly started bickering to the delight of both their parents.
"Aww… a match made in heaven."
A match in heaven? Yeah, right. When hell freezes over.
Although they bicker like cats and dogs, they help and are appreciative of each other. When Sasuke needs help (not that he'll admit it), she gives him assistance in any way that she can. When she's in trouble, Sasuke bails her out with no hesitation, even if it means no tomato snacks for him.
They were partners in crime.

School has finally started for these two youngsters, so they walked together going to school or heading home. Upon reaching school, they sat beside each other because they are comfortable with each other.
Every single girl (even those older than them) went fawning over the young boy. They were offering him an invitation to eat with them, saying how cool he is, and even pushed dear little her away from her best friend.
Sasuke grabbed her hand and promptly told the girls that he's not and never going to be interested. As they walked away from the raven's fan girls, she has noticed something: Sasuke's hands are really warm.
Along the way home, Sasuke treated her with some dango and tea because she felt hungry. As she sipped her peach tea, she noticed Sasuke looking at her.
"Umm… teme…"
"Hn?"
"Am I a bother to you?" she asked hesitantly, afraid that he would say-
"You always were," he stated bluntly. Her heart fell. Was she really a nuisance to him, her little sun?
"But I don't mind…"
What?
"Because you're my dobe and no one could replace you, got that?" the Uchiha informed her. It took a few moments to register what he just said, and then finally gave him a smile.
"Uhn!"
As they grew older, they have met new friends. They have met funny, interesting, and… weird people: Kiba Inuzuka, a funny, boisterous boy who carries his pet dog Akamaru; Hyuuga Hinata, an extremely rich and extremely shy girl; Nara Shikamau, a lazy-ass genius; Akamichi Chouji, a really chubby boy but really lovable; Rock Lee, a extreme sport enthusiast and athlete who uses flowery language; Aburame Shino, a bug enthusiast; and Hino Sai, a talented but perverted artist.
Sasuke had become the youngest student council president the school ever had. He was fear- err, respected, trusted, and adored (by his fan club anyway).He had been president until middle school, and she remained as the class clown. But no matter how different their status was, they still remained best friends.

They have finally reached high school; they were no longer little children who played ninja, but still goofed off as if they were still eight. What Naruko was admiring was that Sasuke grew up pretty good.
His height shot up, making him 6 feet tall. His features grew sharper and he got more muscular due to his aikido training. His jet-black hair grew longer; his eyes underneath his glasses are dark ebony. He was beautiful. But even so, he was still the same asshole she grew up with.
The same asshole who protected her from bullies…
Her first love….
Even if the Uchiha was busy with the student council, he still made time to hang out with them. This, of course, made her happy. The teme still cared for her no matter what.
One day, they were eating lunch on the roof top, and wasn't surprised when Sasuke went up, cursing his heart out. Kiba laughed boisterously.
"Still having girl problems, Uchiha?"
"Hn."
"Man, that's troublesome…" Shikamaru muttered.
Sasuke sat beside her, and stole an onigiri from her made obento. Naruko pouted slightly, remembering that he has a grander and tastier lunch than her passable meal.
"You took my onigiri, teme."
"Hn," he smirked.
"SASUKE-KUN! WHY DO YOU REJECT SAKURA-SAN AND INO-SAN SO HARSHLY? IT'S AS IF THE SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH WAS WITHERED AWAY WITH THE COLD CRUEL WINTER…" Lee exclaimed, clutching his heart with metaphorical pain.
"S-Sasuke-kun is pretty popular with his fan club," HInata said shyly.
Sasuke heard this and took a rather ferocious bite with the onigiri. Naruko giggled gently. Since when did Uchiha Sasuke look so cute?

"Dobe, what are you doing here?"
She pouted. Why did he have to sound so mean? "You're supposed to tutor me with homework, remember?"
"Hn."
"Well, now you know," she added, "Help with my math!"
He opened his door, wide enough to let her in. "Come in."
"Sorry for disturbing!" she chirped happily. He gave her his trademark smirk. "Thank goodness you know."
"Bastard."
"Idiot."
"Teme."
"Dobe."
"Whatever. Now, I'll sit on your bed," she remarked as she flopped herself on his bed. Sasuke sat on the other end, flipping her notebook. He scowled while reading her notes. "You have a horrible handwriting."
"So? As long as I can understand it, what's the difference?" she retorted.
"Yeah, yeah. Well, I don't understand why you need my help when I tutored this to you yesterday." She blushed and stuck her tongue out. It's because I wanted to spend time with you, teme…
"What? I'm slow."
"Hn," he said, lifting a book to his face. She eyed the words clearly. What? What is it about Kiri and Ryo? She pretended to look confused.
"What's that, Sasu-chan?"
"None of your business."
"Kakashi gave that to you, didn't he? I could practically read the word 'dirty' and 'steamy' from here," she grinned mischievously. Sasuke blushed brightly. "Why do you care?"
"Why? Why not? C'mon, don't be stingy!"
"Go away!"
"I dub you, ero-Uchiha!"
"Shut up, usuratonkachi!"
"Itachi-nii, Sasuke-kun is a hen-"
All words died in her throat when Sasuke covered her lips with his hand. He pushed her back to the bed, and straddled her legs. He placed his face near her ear. "One more word, dobe."
She was lost for words. Uchiha Sasuke was on top of her with his face near her neck. He looked her directly in the eye. She just stared at him, confused and excited at the same time.
"O-or what?" she managed to croak.
"This."
Onyx met Sapphire.
The kiss was gentle at first. Sasuke just placed his lips on top of hers, coaxing and shaping her lips. She was still shocked that her best friend, her other half, is kissing her now. In his bedroom. And he didn't want to stop.
It was pretty nice to say the least. But then, he pushed his tongue in her mouth. She felt a surge of lightning run down the back of her spine. She could see fireworks explode inside of her. She matched the Uchiha's tongue with hers, creating a delicious friction warming her insides.
She felt Sasuke moved his lips away. She stared at his glazed ebony eyes, feeling excitement when she could see confidence and satisfaction in them. There was another emotion deep within those dark, beautiful eyes.
Lust.
Desire.
Perhaps… love?
"That shut you up, dobe," he said, still trying to catch up his breath. She just looked at him, mesmerized at the moment that just happened between them.
"Now Naruko, go home. Minato-oji and Kushina-oba might get worried," Sasuke said endearingly. He offered her a hand, and walked her home.
Reaching her bedroom, she flopped down the soft, warm bed filled with white and orange pillows. She was still stunned with the kiss. That mind-blowing kiss…
Maybe they weren't just friends anymore. Maybe she could have and be something more in the eyes of the Uchiha. Maybe she could be the future Mrs. Sasuke Uchiha.
She buried her face in her orange comforter, cursing to herself of even thinking of that idea. She had decided to set Sasuke up with a really nice girl, like Sakura maybe, and have little Uchiha spawns where they call her Naru-oba and love her.
But why is heart breaking to pieces with the mere thought of Sasuke being happy with another woman?

Three days had passed since that incident, and it was the usual. Sasuke hadn't approached her. She felt a little pang of hurt, but shook off that feeling. Maybe the teme was just busy with the Student Council or their upcoming mid-terms.
As the bell rang, Naruko rushed to the gate in order to get home quickly. Her father and mother were going to a banquet, thus telling her to go home right after school ends. She could ask Hinata and Tenten to have a sleep over at her house.
"Oi, Namikaze."
That voice stopped her abruptly from her tracks. She turned around and frowned when she saw Haruka, her two entourage and three ugly-looking thugs behind her. Haruka was wearing an ugly leer on her face.
"Let me warn you, bitch," she added while paced towards her, "Stay away from Sasuke-sama." Naruko chuckled lowly. "You have no right to tell me what to do, cow."
"Oh no, she scares me. Boo hoo… Well, let me tell you what I know, Namikaze."
"What shit is it this time?"
"You were the reason why your own brother could never walk."
She froze, surprised that the girl knew about that intimate detail.
Kyuubi, her brother, is in the hospital, having physical therapy in order to walk again. When she bawls in front of her brother, he kindly told her it wasn't her fault. He just did what he knew he had to do. She wasn't responsible for his injury, as so he says.
But Naruko knew what she took away from her beloved brother: the freedom to move, his desire to walk, his passion for running. He was supposed to participate in the regionals that very day when he got the accident.
The day she killed his dreams.
Kyuubi was six years older than her, and is the best friend of Itachi. They were very close to the point they would be brothers too. Sasuke had told her that "Kyuu-chan" loves to sleepover at the Uchiha main house.
At the day of the regionals, she left her seat to buy an orange soda at the vending machine. She slipped off quietly and dashed to the street with no delay. Excited to buy the soda, she didn't look around the street for any passing cars.
Kyuu spotted her crossing the street and rushed to the street in order to help his little sister. At the corner, a speeding car was heading towards the street they're at. Naruko's fox purse fell to the ground and she went back in order to recover it. The car was still running, never stopping even if she was in the middle of the street.
Kyuu ran and pushed Naruko out of the way. Even if she was safe, he absorbed all the impact, leaving him unconscious and lifeless in the ground.
It was a four hour operation, thus leaving her awake until the surgery is done. She was traumatized for life just seeing her beloved brother, lying on the ground comatose. When the surgical procedure was over, she hurried to her brother's side and sobbed uncontrollably. Kyuubi chuckled and patted her head. He assured her it wasn't her fault.
But for ten years of her life, she blamed herself for his suffering. She just couldn't forgive herself for making her brother lie on the bed, couldn't even walk to the bathroom to wash his face, or stand up to get his glass of water.
"Well, Namikaze… It seems like you are in a stroke of luck. Would you want Kami-sama to forgive you?" she hissed venomously. Naruko's eyes are streaming tears. Oh, she would want that. Kami-sama knows how much she wants that.
"First, we will teach you a lesson you'll never forget," the female bully promised. Haruka was about to punch her when a hand grabbed her tomentor's arm. Naruko looked up and saw Sasuke, grim and deadly.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he asked the girl icily. The bully was loss for words. Naruko just stared at Sasuke, surprised that he was even here.
"S-sasuke-sama! … I was just… ah-"
"Fuck off. I do not tolerate bullying in this institute. You better run off and swear never to touch Naruko ever again."
The girl and her friends scampered off, only their footsteps echoing the hallway. Sasuke glared at her and offered a hand. She didn't take it. She didn't want it…
She wanted forgiveness.
Tears continued streaming down her face. Sasuke cursed inaudibly and carried her on his back. She was blushing from her roots.
It's been so long since she had seen and touched Sasuke.
The rain started to pour hard, thus making Sasuke carry and run to a shelter. When he arrived at her house, Kushina was surprised to see both of them drenched under the harsh weather; but she calmly offered assistance. Sasuke settled Naruko in her room, throwing a towel on her head. He grabbed any dry clothes in her closet and tossed it towards her.
"Jeez, dobe… What the hell were you thinking?" he asked angrily. She didn't respond, still thinking on important issues in her mind. Sasuke sighed and rubbed her hair dry.
"I was so scared, usuratonkachi. I thought you were hurt or something. When she was supposed to punch you, I was angry that you didn't even bother to defend yourself. You're a 5th dan in Karate for God's sake!"
Then it struck her. No wonder she was so troubled that Sasuke hadn't approached her for three days. It all makes sense now! She was… She really is…
… Inrevoccably in love with the teme she grew up with, the boy who taught her how to be stronger… the man she had trusted her life.
Uchiha Sasuke, her one and only sun.
"Love you, teme…"
"What?"
"I said I love you," she declared with more confidence.
"…"
"It's true, bastard. I don't know how or why, but-"
"Stop it, dobe. That's enough," he said frostily. Naruko froze slightly. Did he just reject her? Like what he does to his fan girls?
"B-but, Sasuke-"
"Enough games, dobe. You must be feeling unwell from the rain. Get some rest."
Her throat felt as if it constricted. It wasn't fair. There she is, telling him her innermost feelings for the raven, but he rejected them as if it was nothing to him; as if she meant nothing to him.
"I'll be leaving, usuratonkachi. I wouldn't be able to be with you starting tomorrow and forever. Goodbye." With that, he left.
Naruko laid her head on her pillow and let all the grief her heart held. Sasuke never liked her, loved her. She has concluded something:
The world has never felt this cold.
