"Naruto!" Sasuke screams as Naruto falls from a tree. 'No, he's blacking out!'


"Wha…What happened?" Naruto asks as he finds himself in a hospital bed.

"You were knocked out, dobe." A cold voice says from the chair beside him.

"Sasuke?" Naruto's head hurt so much. "What happened?"

"You don't remember?"

"Not entirely. The last thing I remember is purposely getting in the way of some jutsu." Oh crap, he did not just say that.

"What do you mean 'purposely'?"

"I always get hit so that it looks like I suck at fighting. I could easily have avoided an obvious attack like that." No! Why is he saying this? These are secrets!

Sasuke just stared at him in disbelief. Tsunade and Kakashi had to be wrong, right?

"Um, Sasuke? Why am I telling you my secrets? This is freaky, I always lie so no one ever fears me, but I just told you about me faking my strength." Naruto and Sasuke just stared at each other. "WHY DID I JUST SAY THAT?!"

"Uh…yeah. Tsunade-sama said that you were hit by a truth jutsu." Blank stare, "It will last 3 days," another blank stare, "I've been assigned to watch after you, is that alright?"

"…WHAT?!" Sadly, Sakura had walked in just then. The volume of Naruto's 'little outburst' caused the pink-haired girl to black out, blood dripping from her ears.

"Wow," Sasuke said as he removed his earplugs. He wore them after Kakashi had warned him. "So, are you alright with me watching over you?" Sasuke had been ordered to ask, yet again by Kakashi, that masochist.

"Of course I am, Sasuke, how could I not be." Naruto says while smiling at him, "I know you'll do a great job."

3…2…1…

"GAH! I wish I could lie!" Naruto yells, "This is so embarrassing! I mean I know I'm going to tell you things I don't want you to know, but can't it at least be by choice?" He pauses and looks back at the raven-haired boy. "Can you help me?"

"Sorry, Naruto, but the jutsu can't be undone." He walks over to said blond and sits beside him o the bed. "I wish I could help you."

"Thank you. I'm glad I chose you." No! He went too far, "Wait, I mean, um, just…just forget I said anything."

Sasuke gives him a curious look and then tells the blond to get ready. He has to live with Sasuke for the next 3 days. This should be interesting.
