I have one thing to say. I love love love SuiNaru

One foot pushed on the tiled aisle floor of the local Walmart and propelled Naruto forward continiously, cart tipping slightly as the laughing Kiba leaned too far to the side due to the girth of his laughter. The brunette was clinging backwards at the front of the cart, like a mermaid Figurehead on a pirate ship, and the blond holding tight to the handles while pressing his weight forward, feet taking turns on the bottom bar as they rocketed through the store.

They really had no purpose for being in Walmart other than sheer boredom and this was the closest place in walking distance.

Rounding the corner of one of the toy aisles they reached "The Gauntlet" aisle, as they had come to call it. It was the farthest aisle to the left of the store and it ran the length from front to back. Either they make it all the way to the end going as fast as they can on the cart, or some idiot wanders in front of them and they swerve or die. It was one of the few thrills the two males could have in a small town such as theirs, they had to make up insane games just to keep from bashing their foreheads into a wall.

Their hearts pounded in their chest as they lined the cart up at one end of "The Gauntlet" and stared the beast 'in the eye' with sharp smirks lining their faces. Both Naruto's feet finally hit the ground as he rolled his neck then leaned forward and regrasped the handle bar. Kiba shifted restlessly at the end of the cart as he readied himself. The blond leaned his weight forward and popped his elbows in the air as his muscles tightened in antisipaction.

"Ready, bro?" Naruto asked with barely contained glee in his tone. Kiba nodded, the grin splitting his face doesn't allow his mouth to form words.

Just before Naruto was about to launch the headset clipped to his ear began ringing. All the antisipaction that had been building in his body burst all at once, making his limps quivering masses attached to him as he slammed his hand to his chest as if he were having a heart attack. He finally answers with a breathless, "Yo?!"

"Hey. You want some assitance from above? We dont need another repeat from last time you idiots tried to make it down that aisle. I think you'd like to avoid another asskicking?" It was Shikamaru, for a summer job he worked at Walmart. Most of the time he just hung out in the security room and watched the cameras even though that wasn't his job no one really cared enough to stop him.

"Oh that would be freakin sweet man! Thanks a million!" Naruto nearly 'whoopie'd' in his newly found excitement as he explained to Kiba they now have eyes in the sky. Once they finally got prepared to take-off Shika stated softly. "Alrighty, you two are clear for take off whenever you're ready."

Naruto started a flat run, putting all his strength into his legs, when he finally started getting some momentum one foot flew to its bottom perch then was immediately followed by its twin. With full weight in the cart leaning forward, already a quarter of the way down the monsterously long aisle, the two barrelled forward at a speed new to the young adults.

Kiba let loose a cheer of jubalation while Naruto a whoop of joy finally let ring through the store. For the briefest of seconds they both even dared to let their arms fly out to the sides, looking like soaring eagles as the speed down the aisle. Shikamaru could be heard chuckling and most likely shaking his head at his friends antics.

"Woman getting ready to come into your aisle from three aisles up." Shikamaru hurriedly stated.

"Look out lady!!! Coming through! Keep in your aisle!!" Naruto shouted quickly, getting a leg ready to drop down to be used as an emergency break if need be. Kiba saw the beginnings of a cart pop from the aisle ahead and began making the siren sounds of a cop car. The other cart stopped immediaely and jerked back just as they came barreling past.

Naruto just managed to shout out a brief apology as they whipped past the middle aged mother.

"Damn close, Naruto." Shikamaru laughed in his ear.

"MORE SPEED!!!" Kiba screeched happily as one hand managed to free itself from its death grip and bang the side of the cart.

The blond nodded and immediately both feet dropped to the ground and started at a dead run to keep them from slowly down even more.

They were making great speed, half way down the aisle by the time Naruto got his feet resting again on the bottom bar.

"NARUTO! STOP!" Shikamaru suddenly shouted in his ear and instantly, as if the voice on the headset controlled his legs, his foot hit the floor he braced his knee for the impact as his foot skidded along the floor. Kiba jerked his head around in panic as he felt the cart start to violently shake, instantly the cart whipped around and nearly toppled over. In an instant Kiba's reaction was to leap from his position and gracefully fall as he stumbled forward and landed on his palms. The cart came to a violent stop, now facing the direction it had just come from just as another cart voomed out from another aisle directly behind him.

Naruto could feel the cart brush against his backside as it passed behind him forcing goosebumps to ripple along every inch of his skin. His body shuddered at the sound of the metal box crashing against a whole wall of board games and puzzles. His fingers finally released their death grip of the handle bar and allowed him to jump off the cart and turn to watch the scene unfolding.

A man, only slightly older than himself, had been slammed against the wall of games and soon after the cart spun away from his battered body he started free falling to the hard tiled floor below.

Acting on instinct alone Naruto hurled himself forward, seemingly diving toward the ground, and managed to throw his arms out and catch the falling man to prevent him from knocking himself unconsicous.

"What the fuck is going on?!" Kiba shouted from behind him, sprawled on the ground with his arms now behind him holding him up for support and a dazzed look plastering his face.

"Is everybody alright?! Naruto! Dude, that was fucking wicked!" came a slightly shaky voice of Shikamaru in his ear.

"My hero." was the whispered coo from the man in Naruto's arms. The man's head fell back to rest on the crock of the blond's arm as he blinked multiple times to try and shake the hazz from around him. A few moments passed as Naruto stared down confusedly at the man in his arms before the man finally seemed to snap out of the dazzed state. His muscles clenched as he pulled himself out of Naruto's hold and used the blond's shoulder for support as he pushed himself to a standing postion.

That unnamed man turned and pointed down the aisle he just zoomed out of and shouted hatefully at some approaching man, "YOU SON OF A BITCH! What the hell is the matter with you Juugo?!? That fucking hurt!"

With trembling muscles, still quivering with unrepressed adrenaline, Naruto managed to turn around in an attempt to see the man approaching from behind, now named Juugo. He quickly had to tilt his head back to get a full view of the nearly monsteriously proportioned man with firey orange hair.

"Suigetsu. You told me to push you as fast as I could." The voice was deep, almost bone rattling, but smooth and inviting.

"What the hell is going on here?!" Kiba had finally managed to pick himself up and stumble back to the scene of the accident. "Who the hell are you two?! Why the hell did we just spin out of control?! How in the hell did you just go flying into that wall and are STILL up?! When in the hell did science get the ability to make a mammoth sized man?!" The brunette's head was shaking vigoursly as his hand smacked into its side repeatedly. "God, am I dead or something."

The group went quiet as they all turned and stared at Kiba.

"Who the hell is that spazz?" The man now known as Suigetsu questioned as he crossed his arms across his chest and stared Kiba down like he had just been insulted.

Naruto took this all in, from his position on the ground where he had flung himself down to catch the other man, and was just as confused as Kiba but didn't have the strength to voice it yet. "Naruto! Geezus, are you brain dead or something?!" Shikamaru continued to shout in his ear.

"Its cool Shikamaru. Calm down." The blond finally whispered while still staring up at Suigetsu.

"Oh, so your name is Shikamaru huh? Well calm your little ass down. You act like you've just been in some major car accident or something. Tch. Drama king. And you say I'm bad, Juugo." Suigetsu looked down at the few board games that had fallen to the ground with him, then back up at the wall. "Damn man, hardly anything fell off and I like pummeled that wall with my whole body. This place is fucking creepy."

"MY NAME ISN'T SHIKAMARU!" Kiba screamed as he yanked Naruto up from the ground. "Its fucking Kiba, damn."

"So your friend is crazy, and you're yelling at me? He's the one that called you the wrong name. I think he knocked a few brain cells loose in that pretty little head of his." Suigetsu smiled with a gleam in his eyes that made Naruto's breathe catch in his throat.

"He isn't crazy dumbass. He has a headset on!" the brunette huffed as he ripped said headset from Naruto's ear and clipped it on his own as he fished Naruto's phone from his pocket and gripped it tightly. "Shika! What the fuck man! I thought you were supposed to warn us when someone was coming!"

"Hey, dont get pissy at your little boyfriend...Kiba, I'm assuming he gave your little blond friend here some kind of warning otherwise we all would be one big sexy dead sammich." Suigetsu paused as he turned his head slowly and began a single contestant glaring contest with Juugo, "Its not your guys fault that Bubba back here sent me hurling like a bowling ball down the aisle." He paused again as he turned back to eyeball Naruto. "So, what...I'm assuming you two knuckle heads have a friend that works cameras? Telling you if someone is about to jump in front of you or something while you book it down this aisle like bats out of hell?" He paused while nodding approvingly, maybe wishing he had the same set up, then finished. "Sweet."

Naruto nodded dumbly as he brushed the dirt from his clothes. "Yeah man. But, uh. How is it that you slam into a wall and dont even act phased?" Repeating one of Kiba's questions the blond takes his time to finally look the other up and down, drinking in the whole view.

Suigetsu is only maybe an inch taller than Naruto, but thinner...almost gangly looking but too thickly muscled. Medium length platinum blond hair framed his face and added to the sharpened look of his features. The slightly older man looked as if his K-9 teeth had been sharpened, when he smiled they shone brightly and gave him a fiercy devilish look. Over all he seemed to shine aloftness and his smiles always appeared to look mischievous.

"Oh,...well." Suigetsu began as he tossed his hand back in a lazy attempt to gesture toward Juugo, "We're stunt doubles. We are thrown at or throw ourselfs at stuff all day. So this little wall here doesn't do it for me." he finished with a wink while talking toward Naruto, before turning to Kiba and arching a brow. "You look like you're about to pass out or something."

Throwing an annoyed glare in Suigetsu's direction Kiba put his hand on Naruto's shoulder and leaned in, "Dude, I gotta go sit down somewhere. That whole cart whirling around has my head spinning or something." He paused as he placed his hand on the headset and nodded, "Thanks man," He looked back to Naruto, "Shika said I could hang in the sercurity room for a while.

Naruto nodded as he waved his hand in the general direction of where Shikamaru was and quickly snapped his head back to Suigetsu.

He felt torn, he wanted to stand around and talk to this Suigetsu fellow some more. "You good on your own? I, uh....gotta help clean up this mess." the blond turned back and smiled needily at his brunette friend. Kiba lowered his brows and glanced over at Suigetsu before back at Naruto. He huffed and thrust his hands out to the side before turning and heading toward Shikamaru.

"Yeah yeah I'm good." he mumbled while bracing himself against the metal shelves he walked past.

~~~+~~~+~~~+~~~+~~~+~~~

After walking aimlessly through the whole store for more than half a hour, Juugo leaving after 15 of those minutes, talking with great fervor and animation for what felt like ages their time finally came to an end when Juugo reapproached the pair. "Suigetsu. We have to be at work in 20 minutes." With that Juugo ended the room for argument by turning and walking away, most likely to wait in the car for his friend.

"Damn." Suigetsu whispered softly before turning and radianting a smile of new fondness, "Sorry, cutie. Guess the real world calls me into action." He reached forward and brushed a stray lock from Naruto's brow, sending shivers racing through the whole of the blond. "We should...get together sometime?" the lanky man announced with a nod as he he shifted his position to stand as close to the blond as possible, without touching him.

A knot tightened in Naruto's chest and he battled to maintain normal breathing. He could feel the heat of Suigetsu's arm pulsing into his own, and his mind swam. He coughed to clear his throat while brandishing a smile smile. "I'd love to." finally he managed to get out as he searched his pockets for his phone. "I, uh..." he began as both hands dived into all available pockets.

His cheeks burned red as he remembered Kiba had walked off with his phone to talk to Shikamaru. "My phone is with Kiba." he smiled sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck.

A devilish smirk claimed Suigetsu's as he shrugged and took a small step forward, now barely an inch between their torsos. "Guess I'll just have to find a better way to give you my number." He reached forward and with gentle ease gripped Naruto's forearm and brought the appendage to rest against his stomach as he brought a pen up from his pocket and began to write his phone number across Naruto's outstretched hand.

What seemed like sparks of electricity fluttered to life under Naruto's skin as his eye lids fluttered at the skin to skin contact. The way the ball pen glided across his palm sent goose bumps rippling through his skin as it ticked him to the bone. Struggling to keep his breathing in order the blond remarked, "Very smart." with a smile.

A butterfly erupted from its cacoon inside his chest as Suigetsu lifted his head to look Naruto in the eyes, still holding his arm as he folded Naruto's fingers shut, a genuine smile winning over his lips as he breathed, "Keep it safe." he finished with a wink and a new found smirk.

Suigetsu was still holding the blond's arm as his eyes locked with Naruto's. Something seemed to catch in Suigetsu's throat as his lips parted and he took a deep intake of oxygen. And before Naruto could blink the space between them was closed and Suigetsu's lips were pressed against his own. He could feel his heart roaring to life inside him as his muscles tightened.

But before he could react to the welcomed intrusion Suigetsu pulled back and smiled dangerously at the blond, "See ya."

"God I hope so." The blond whispered to the retreating back, still standing stiffly in the same spot.

Before the doors shut behind him Suigetsu glanced back at his stunned victim and waved softly while blowing another kiss and winking.

"Dude." Naruto jumped as a hand clamped down over his shoulder, "You're acting like a chick or something." Kiba's voice boomed to life in his head as he turned around to face his friend.

"Fuck off, man." He finally hissed as they both started walking toward the exits shortly after Suigetsu disappeared from view.

They walked through the parking lot, as a car passed by Naruto didn't take notice as he looked over the rows and rows of cars in search of a possible glimpse of Suigetsu in any of the cars exiting the lot. His eyes bulged and an abrupt cry shouted from him as he lurched forward.

Suigetsu popped his head out of the car window and leered at Naruto. "Nice ass, baby!" a laugh bubbled from his lips as he threw his head back and let it win the best of him.

The burning sensation in Naruto's bum rushed through him, tingling his body to life. The car took off with a laughing Suigetsu sticking his head out the window and waving.

The blond's eyes were still wide as a blush tinged his tanned cheeks and his hand gently rested across the spot on his bum that Suigetsu had landed a nice, even handed smack across.

"Oh my god!" Kiba cried out while laughing. "That dude just smacked your ass from a moving car! Thats awesome!!" His laugh got the better of him and he doubled over as tears came to his eyes.

"I can't believe he just..." the blond exclaimed with a flabbergasted expression as he rubbed his rump with tender reguard, then he too couldn't help but laugh. 'He's freaking insane' and Naruto loved it.

Shaking his head as he continued to walk forward, past the giggling Kiba, he brought his hand up to gaze at the number he stopped dead in his tracks. "NOOO!!!" He wailed with horror.

The number was smeared against the skin of his hand!

He choked on another cry as he whipped around and at the far corner of his vision he saw the black car Suigetsu was in dart out of exsistence. "Noo! Come back!!" Naruto shouted fruitlessly at the vehicle.

"Whats wrong, bro?" Kiba asked, suddenly sober while approaching his find. Without an answer he looked down at the outstretched palm and saw the indistinguishable ink scribbled across his friends hand. "Ouch...does he have your number in his phone?" the blond just shook his head as he stared off into the distance with a lost expression.

Worry gripped at Kiba's chest. "Hey man, dont worry! We'll get that number." He whipped Naruto's phone from his pocket and took a few clear pictures of the number before it got even more washed away. "We can just dial the number as many different ways as we can see from this smear until we get him! Dont worry..." He patted Naruto on the shoulder and smiled as the blond turned to him and nodded.

"Thanks man." Naruto looked down at the smeared ink with a crushing feeling throbbing in his chest.

Kiba nodded as he guided his friend forward, "Yeah man. No problem. You'd do the same for me! We'll get that bastard back to ya, no problem." A moment went by before Kiba turned back to the blond with an arched brow. "Who writes a number on someone's hand these days?!"

Naruto snapped out of his stupor and offered an offended look to his friend. "You took my phone and he was about to get away!!" He paused as he snatched his phone back from Kiba.

"Oh...right....sorry about that!" Kiba smiled dumbly as they continued toward their shared apartment.
