#10 of A Fox, a Dog and a Raven

For those of you not familiar with the Naruto series there may be some words or terminology that you are not familiar with. I have listed such words in a journal. (http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4979582/)Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto in any way, this is a non-profit fan-fiction written for fun.

In any case, you came here for the story, so I hope you enjoy it.********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

"You've lost Naruto!"

"Not yet I haven't!" He yelled as he charged Sasuke, his sword raised high above his head, Sasuke easily dodged the attack and struck Naruto in the head sending him sprawling across the floor. everyone watching was sure the fight was over, but to every ones surprise Naruto disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"Another shadow clone!?" Sasuke cried in surprise. He quickly scanned the area for any sign of the real Naruto.

A few moments later Naruto leapt over the climbing wall and threw his sword at Sasuke. Sasuke watched as the black blade hurtled end over end towards him, his sharingan allowing him to narrowly dodge the attack, the sword embedding itself in the wooden floor a few yards behind him. Before Sasuke knew it, out of reflex, he threw three shuriken at Naruto. Everyone gasped when the shuriken struck Naruto in the chest, watching in silent horror as he fell to the ground. Sasuke felt his heart stop when Naruto didn't disappear in a burst of smoke, realising that it wasn't a shadow clone.

"NARUTO!" Sasuke yelled in panic, his mind commanding his body to run to the blonds aid, before he could move a single step his body reacted out of reflex, spinning out of the way as someone attempted to tackle him from behind. A split second later he had the tip of his blade pointing at Naruto's throat while Naruto had a kunai pointed at his crotch.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!"********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************


Sexual Tensions - Part 4

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Iruka's voice bellowed through the gymnasium, Naruto and Sasuke stopped and saw an angry Iruka and thirty scared looking kids. Iruka stormed over and smacked both of them on the head. "That's a little too intense for a spar isn't it!?"

"Sorry Iruka-sensei..." Naruto said dejectedly. "We just got a little carried away." Sasuke just remained silent and diverted his gaze from Iruka and walked away.

"Look... for a second there I actually thought you had been seriously hurt!" Iruka said apologetically, turning to the spot where he had seen Naruto fall to the ground. All that was there now was three shuriken and Naruto's sword.

"Yeah, I transformed my sword into a clone and turned myself to look like my sword." Naruto began to explain. "The sword clone doesn't dispel so quickly after taking a hit and it was enough to fool Sasuke to allow me to attack him from behind."

"I see." Iruka commented picking up the sword and handing it to Naruto, "Very clever Naruto."

"Thanks!"

"That was awesome!" One of the students declared running over to Naruto. "I've never seen a fight like that, I was sure you had lost but then you pull off a move like that!"

"I just let Sasuke think he was winning!" Naruto boasted, he was lying of course, Sasuke had completely decimated his clone force. "Deception is one of a ninjas greatest tools!" Naruto said confidently, trying to sound like Iruka. The rest of the class had now over come their shock and were swarming over Naruto and Sasuke demanding that the pair show them some moves.

Sasuke was definitely not having a good time as a dozen kids swamped him, pulling on him and constantly begging him to show them a jutsu, it took everything he had not to swear at the brats. Naruto on the other hand, was loving the attention and was all too eager to show the kids a thing or two.

************

Sasuke and Naruto had managed to escape the swarm of kids after a couple of hours, Naruto had had a great time while Sasuke was all too happy to leave. Partially regretting agreeing to go along with it just to spend some time getting close to Naruto.

"That was fun!"

"Just what part of that would you call fun!?" Sasuke scoffed.

"Aww, come on Sasuke, you can't say that you didn't enjoy it! I mean you showed them those taijutsu techniques!"

"Just to stop them grabbing me!"

"If you hated it that much why didn't you just leave?"

"Because I said I would do it okay, now leave it alone!" What Sasuke had wanted to say was 'because I did it for you!' but he wimped out and took his usual approach to things by seeming distant and uncaring.

"Want to go get some dinner?" Naruto asked.

"Where do you want to go?" Sasuke asked happy for the change in conversation.

"How about..."

"Not ramen!"

"You're no fun!" Naruto pouted. "Fine where do you want to go eat?"

"How about we go back to mine and I'll make us something?"

"You know how to cook?!"

"Of course I know how to cook!"

"Sorry... I didn't realise that you were a woman." Naruto teased waving at Sasuke in a girly fashion.

"Men can cook too!"

"Sorry, but between your mood swings, the effort you put into your hair and the fact that you cook, I mistook you a woman for a second there." Naruto laughed as Sasuke glared at him.

"Funny, my sides are hurting." Sasuke was little offended at the remark about his hair, sure he put a little extra effort to make himself look good, he couldn't be like Naruto and let his hair do it's own thing.

"Lighten up Sasuke!" Naruto laughed. "So what are you going to make me?"

"What do you like other than Ramen?"

************

Naruto had agreed to allow Sasuke to cook for him, the offer was out of character for him, even Sasuke was ready to admit to that. Sasuke was just trying to impress Naruto, he had heard that the best way to a mans heart was through his stomach, he wanted to put that saying to the test. Whether that was the case or not, it had lead to Sasuke trying to recreate one of his mothers recipes from her old cook books. Sasuke had learned to cook, using the recipes from those books in an attempt to make his mother seem less like a distant memory, try as he might he was never able to get them to taste like he remembered as a kid.

Had he known he would be making a meal for Naruto, Sasuke would have planned for it, but he had very little in his cupboards as he had been away on a mission, meaning they had to go shopping before they made it back to his. He had bought a few things he knew he would need, he had bought some soba (Buck wheat noodles), to try and appease Naruto since he new the blond loved ramen. It would be nothing like ramen but Naruto should at least like it if he didn't like anything else he made. Sasuke wanted to make a soup and was going to make Dangojiru but decided against it, they had had dango's for lunch, so he decided to go for a much simpler sumashijiru (fish broth/soup). Some grilled fish and some ginger pickles would finish the meal. All the dishes were simple and easy to make but Sasuke found himself stressing about the simplest things, the pressure of trying to make the meal perfect was getting to him.

Naruto simply sat at the counter as he watched Sasuke work, he had to admit that Sasuke certainly knew his way round the kitchen. Soon the room was filled with tantalising smell and Naruto felt his hunger grow. He sat in silence and let Sasuke work, it was strange but he was quite content to just sit there, just being in Sasuke's company made Naruto feel comfortable, normally when he spent time with someone they would be talking most of the time. Even with all the time he had spent with Jiraiya when he was away, he rarely just sat there in silence with him, unless he was either too tired or was upset at the older ninjas lack of interest in him and his training over his research. Soon enough they were sitting down to eat and Naruto was impressed at the meal, it looked as good as anything he might have gotten at any of the places that Jiraiya would have make them stay at.

"Itadakimasu!" Naruto said eagerly before picking up his chop sticks and digging in to the food. "Wow! This is really good! I should get you to cook for me more often!"

"Only if you live with me."

"Is that an offer Sasuke?" Naruto asked sarcastically, Sasuke knew he was joking but now was as good a time as ever to see what Naruto thought about him.

"Only if you're willing to let me fuck you every night." Sasuke didn't look up from his food and said it as casually as he possibly could, even if Naruto took offence at the offer Sasuke could pass it off as a bad joke.

"Wha... what do I look like? A girl?" Naruto laughed nervously, he felt a little flustered, Sasuke's comment made memories of his encounter with Kiba the previous night resurface. As far as Naruto was concerned Sasuke was just having a joke, wasn't he?

Sasuke put down his chop sticks and rested his head on his hands and looked at Naruto for the first time since they had sat down. "You have such pretty eyes." Sasuke cooed, he truthfully did find Naruto's eyes attractive, those intense blue orbs were as blue as the summer sky, they had captivated his thoughts many a time and right now he telling Naruto the truth; even if it was in a way that made it seem like he was joking.

Naruto was taken aback by Sasuke's comment once again, this was totally un-Sasuke like and the way Sasuke was looking at him... he wasn't sure if Sasuke was joking or not. Naruto laughed nervously.

"You're such a joker Sasuke!" Naruto quickly began eating again as if it would bring an end to this uncomfortable conversation. To his relief Sasuke returned to eating in silence but Sasuke still wasn't sure if Naruto was just pretending or if he was definitely not gay. The pair sat in silence with their own thoughts, and wondering what the other was thinking about.
