Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did, his outfit would just be orange shorties O.O Cuz he has oh-so-nice legs! Mmmm! And a kawaii tummy!
I decided to start another fic :smile: so you have two to read instead of one! Although, this one probably won't update as much as Dotless Dice. But once that fic's over, it'll update this more often. Now, this idea... I have no clue, it just came to my head last night while I was watching Avatar. Damn, Zuko is cute:Huggles him: And strangely enough, it has nothing to do with anything in Avatar O.o Nothing at all...
The sun began to settle behind the mountains near Matsuyama City, the sky becoming blotches of pink, purple, and dark blue. Waves crashed into the low wall just below the outskirts of the city, crabs being washed away from their spots on algae-covered rocks, and birds swooping down to catch them as a "before bed" snack.
A few miles away, along the wall, a blond boy struggled to hold on to the slippery rocks as he crawled down into a small cavern, a net stuffed into a bag on his back. He lowered himself further down and pulled the net out, dipping it into the water of the cavern. He grinned when lobsters began to emerge from the dirty water, tumbling into the roped trap.
"Gotcha!" the teen yanked the net up and gave a satisfied smile as he counted a total of seventeen lobsters, "I hope this is enough for Ojichan," he blinked when he heard a loud rumbling and looked up just in time to see a large wave rising above the cavern, "...Shit!"
xXxXx
"Took you long eno-- Hey... you're wet..."
"No, really?.!" the soaking wet blond screeched, sitting his catch on the table, the lobsters squirming around and trying to snap the rope with their claws, "Jeez, do you know how deep that cavern is, Sai?.!"
"No, and I don't plan on finding out anytime soon," the black-haired boy said with a smile.
"Ass hole," the other teen grumbled.
The blond kid was Uzumaki Naruto, a teenager that just turned seventeen. He had golden, spiked hair, eyes as blue as the ocean during mid-morning, and his wardrobe consisted mainly of orange and black. You could say... he was a very bright person.
"Naruto-san, you're dripping all over the floor," Sai stepped away from the forming puddle.
"Well, sorry!.!" Naruto shook his head, water flying everywhere, "and it's not my fault! This huge ass wave came crashing down on me while I was trying to catch those stupid lobsters!" but his frown turned into a goofy grin almost instantly, "actually, it was kind of fun... heh."
"Only you would say that getting pummeled by a wave of salt water..." Sai scrunched his nose up at the smell of fish, "...was fun," he covered the lower half of his face, "you smell like dead tuna."
And that was, of course, Hirota Sai, one of Naruto's friends from Kyushu. He was handsome, desirable, a sweet-talker... but Naruto saw him for what he really was. A penis-loving bastard who had fetishes for naked boys with fake cat ears... Not that there was really anything wrong with that... right?
Naruto lifted an arm and smelled his sleeve, "Huh, I do..."
"Go clean up and I'll take your catch to Ojiji(1)," Sai lifted the bag of lobsters, careful of the claws, "Oh, I'm sure he'll love these," the raven said sarcastically, heading to the back room.
Naruto smiled as his friend walked away, He's an ass, but you can't help but love him, he felt a yawn coming and covered his mouth. Tears sprang to his eyes and he wiped them away, hissing at the burning sensation caused by the salt, "Dammit..." standing up, Naruto went past the storage coolers, into the tidy hallway that was hidden behind dark red curtains, ramming head first into a door. Poor Naruto... first his eyes, now his head?
"Son of a bitch! Who closed the sliding doors?.!"
Sai popped his head out of the back room and smiled, but it wasn't apologetic in any way, shape, or form, "Ah, that was me."
"Aren't you going to say sorry?.!"
"No... I don't think I will," Sai looked up in thought, then tilted his head to the side and laughed softly, "because really, it's your fault. You should check if the doors are closed or not, Naruto-san," and just like that, Sai was gone, leaving no one to hear the flood of curse words that came from his friend.
xXxXx
Sarutobi slowly made his way to his bedroom, his wrinkled hands clutching onto the handle of a bucket that was filled with water. His squinted eyes caught the thin stream of light that was shining through the cracks of Naruto's bedroom door. He chuckled to himself and opened the door, spotting his grandson on the floor typing away on his laptop.
"Naruto? Did you already take your shower?" he asked.
"Yep! And I even cleaned the bathroom afterwards," Naruto grinned.
Sarutobi chuckled once again, "My, I suppose it was a good idea to let both you and Sai live here after all. You two clean everything up before I get the chance to," he held up the bucket, "that was what I was just about to go do."
"Ojichan, you know you're too old for that stuff," Naruto grumbled, still typing away. He turned and smiled his usual bright smile, his damp golden locks sticking to his face, "and you love it when we do everything for you, admit it!"
His grandfather smiled and slowly closed the door, "Sure, Naruto. Now remember to get to bed early, the shop opens at 8:00."
"I know. 'Night, Ojichan."
"Good night," and the door was shut, the lock clicking.
Naruto sighed and ruffled his wet hair while scanning over e-mails, Nothing but junk mail and... his right eye twitched, enhance the size of my what?.! well, that message was definitely getting deleted. He heaved another sigh as he clicked out of his e-mail page.
"There's nothing interesting to look at, so I might as well go to bed," but right before he went to shut off his laptop, a pop-up appeared. Naruto raised an eyebrow at the samurai that was standing next to the word "reconnection".
He scanned over the message underneath the picture.
"A chatroom/forum for people who..." he squinted at the small font, "... feel like they're reliving their past lives? Huh, that's cool... Um, where was I? Oh, uh... and for people who believe they might have been reincarnated," Reincarnation? Doesn't that mean that their soul was reborn or something...?
"What're you reading, Naruto-san?"
Naruto squeeled and quickly slapped a hand over his mouth, embarrassed. He turned and glared at Sai, "None of your business, Sai," he snapped, "and quit sneaking into my room!"
"I don't sneak in, I stealthily enter," the raven smiled.
"Same thing, Queer!" he blushed at the insult, I did not just say that... did I? That sounded so.. so... immature! he screamed mentally.
Sai's smile slipped off of his face and was replaced by a small frown, "Come again?"
"A-ah, nothing. E-hehehe."
The pale boy's eyes narrowed ever so slightly as he hurled out a calm comeback, "Shorty."
Naruto pouted and sat up, crossing his arms, "Man slut!"
"Stupid blond."
"You have gay porn under your bed!"
Sai twitched, "You have a box of Ken dolls under your bed."
Naruto blushed, "I-I told you why those were there!"
"Yeah, to jack off--"
"Shut up! Shut up!.!"
The door was shoved open and an irritated pink-haired girl entered, "I just come home and this is the first thing I hear? The two of you yelling about jacking off?"
"S-Sakura-chan," Naruto stuttered, his face a bright red.
"Good evening, Sakura," Sai greeted politely, a smile back in place. Naruto noticed how fake it was and blinked.
When he smiles at me... they're always real...
Sakura smiled back tiredly, "You two promise to keep quiet? I could hear Ojichan grumbling in his room. You two know how much he needs his sleep."
"Yeah, yeah," the blond took one last glance at the pop-up on his computer, memorizing the website url, "we'll keep quiet," he turned the laptop off and closed it, putting it back in its case and sitting it on his desk.
"We won't need to. I'm going back to my room," Sai said while walking past Sakura, "oyasumi, minna."
"Oyasumi," Sakura replied warmly.
Naruto only grunted, pushing himself up and immediately flopping back down onto his cozy bed, "Need sleep," he groaned.
"Naruto... why do you and Sai always fight?"
"'Cause he's a bastard."
Sakura frowned, "Well, so are you."
"You're right... maybe that's why he fights back?" he joked.
"You two are so immature. I don't even know why I'm friends with you guys," the girl muttered as she shut his door.
Blue eyes stared up at a pale white ceiling, trying to trace over every thin line, Huh... why do we fight? he sighed and reached over to turn the lamp off. His eyes closed as he rolled over and sighed in exhaustion, Too tired... I'll think about it in the morning... or whatever...
---- dream ----
"Your bonds with Sasuke... how long will they last?"
"I don't know..."
"How about our bonds?"
"What?"
"Our bonds. Yours and mine. How long do you think they will last?"
A smile.
"You're so cheesy, Sai."
Another warm smile.
xXxXx
"Sasuke..."
Another moan escaped the blond's lips as an experienced tongue ran down his throat. He dug his nails into pale shoulders and arched his back at the delicious pleasure his lover was giving him.
"You're mine..!"
"I-I'm yours..."
xXxXx
Sai looked at his friend with warm eyes, even though he saw the lovebite on his neck.
"Naruto-san... would you like to join me for a walk?"
"Huh? Oh, sure!"
xXxXx
Soft lips pressed against his. It was so.. different... but...
"Naruto-san... that traitor doesn't deserve you..." chocolate eyes stared into blue.
"S-Sai..."
"Let him go... he's not coming back..."
xXxXx
Black melted into blood red.
Sharingan.
---- end dream ----
Naruto's eyes snapped open, Th-the hell?
"Naruto! Rise and shine!" Sakura chirped as she entered his room, "we open in an hour! Get dressed!" then she left, leaving the door open.
The blond grunted and sat up, scratching the back of his head, That was one hell of a dream... But it was strange... and perverted... he frowned, and I don't remember any of that stuff happening. Maybe it's the future? Nah, I'd never sleep with Sai... Eww! Why would I dream about kissing him of all people?.! That's gross! Che, well, that Sai looked more like a warrior, not a slut like the one I live with, he thought about it for a moment and groaned, What about the other guy? Blood red eyes... but they were black too...and raven hair... he looked like the warrior-type too... his eyes widened and he quickly turned to looked at the bag containing his laptop.
"Oh, no fucking way..." he leaped out of bed and pulled his laptop out, pushing the top up and turning it on. When everything was on, he went online and typed in the Reconnection url he memorized last night, watching as the same samurai from the pop-up last night appeared. He clicked on a link that said "Signs of Reincarnation" and read over all of them, his blue eyes filling with more disbelief every second.
1- You may recognize people around you even though you know you've never seen them before. Also, a name you might think is theirs will probably come to mind.
2- You have dreams of people you don't know or might know now, but they look different (such as different wardrobe, hair, etc), and the events that occur in your dream seem real, but have never happened
Naruto stopped himself there and did a double-take on number two, W-well, it could be possible... he shook his head, No! What am I saying?.! It's just my imagination! I mean, I never thought about this stuff until last night... then I have that dream? I only had it because my brain was still processing the thoughts of that stuff... wait, what? Dammit, now I'm confusing myself!
"Naruto! I said get ready!" Sakura screamed from out in the hall.
"Chill out, Woman! Jeez!" he clicked out of the site and made his way to the bathroom, Ok, it was only a dream. I just fell asleep thinking about that reincarnation crap, so I dreamt about it, yeah, that's it... Gehh, but that still doesn't help me with that disturbing scene of Sai kissing me. I think I need to thoroughly wash my mouth out.
xXxXx
"What took you so long, Naruto?" Sarutobi asked as he grinded fresh coffee beans. Sai was standing at the other counter chopping fish and Sakura was dicing daikon radish while humming a cheerful tune.
"Sorry, I had to do some extra cleaning," he grinned sheepishly.
"You know you need to be out here on time. We had some orders put in already and you weren't here to help with the first two dishes," Sarutobi sighed and rubbed his sore knuckles, "well, since we already have these meals covered anyway, why don't you take the trash out?"
Naruto pouted, "Y-you're joking, right? Please tell me you're kidding, Ojichan!"
"Ojiji does not joke, Naruto-san," Sai said. Even though his back was turned to the blond, Naruto could tell the bloody bastard was smiling.
"Fine, whatever!" Naruto grabbed the two filled trash bags that were sitting by the hallway and carried them outside, grumbling to himself as he passed chattering customers.
The sun was beaming down on the docks, praising the beauty of the place. But Naruto sure didn't care about any of the stupid beauty as he threw the trash into the dumpster that was a good half a mile away from his grandfather's coffee shop.
As he began his walk back, he looked down at the sparkling ocean and grinned as he saw a whale close by. He wanted to go down onto one of the lower shopping docks to get a better look, but he slammed into someone before he reached the stairs.
"S-sorry!" he aplogized quickly.
"Hn, watch where you're going next time, Dobe," the person he bumped into shoved past him and continued walking.
Naruto glared at the back of his head, but laughed at the funny hairstyle the boy had, Hehe it's like a duck butt! he watched the male turn the corner to go onto another dock and his breath hitched as he saw the teen's face. One name echoed throghout his head as he saw the eyes of obsidian turn red under the light of the sun...
Sasuke.
(1)-Ojiji is Sai's nickname for Sarutobi :giggles like an idiot:
I hope you liked it! And please review! I'll love you forever!
