Disclaimer: I am very sorry to inform you that I don't own Naruto casts and the plots coz I can't really think of any good plots at the moment (T.T)

Thoughts

"Conversation"

Since the moment of my birth, my fate has been determined.

Since the moment I laid my eyes on you, I had decided you are mine.

A middle-aged man came into a dark room, where a young man who resembled him kneeled and awaited for orders.

"You mission is to find the next Fox Lord, the eldest son of the chief of the Uzumaki tribe, and to protect him at any cost. He shall be YOUR Fox Lord. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir." Fox Lord. My Fox Lord.

It was early in the morning in Konoha town, birds chirping and the weather looks fine. A fifteen-year-old boy walked along the hall of Konoha Gakuen, apparently heading towards his class. He has short dark hair, chicken-butt style, dark piercing eyes and pale skin. Suddenly, he heard someone called him from behind.

"Sasuke." The boy, Sasuke halted his movement and turned around to greet his teacher. Sasuke is a new student at Konoha Gakuen. He just arrived in Konoha last week. This is his third day at school.

"Good morning, Iruka sensei." Iruka-sensei smiled.

"Are you adjusting fine here?" He asked as they resumed walking.

"It must be hard for you to transfer here in the middle of the term because of your father's job. However, staying close with family is the most important thing, right?"

"Yes, it is. Except I hardly see them around because they are busy with their work. It's almost as if I live alone."

"Aaa…Don't worry. If you feel you need to talk to someone, you are always welcome to talk to me."

"Thank you very much for the offer, Sensei." Sasuke smiled again.

"Well, Naruto is the class representative. So if you have any problem in the class, you can ask him, I am sure he will help you the best he can."

What if HE is the problem, Sensei? Sasuke thought as he continued to smile.

"Thank you, Sensei. I'll keep that in mind." After they arrived, Sasuke said goodbye to Iruka sensei and entered the class.

I was assigned to attend this school as a student in order to find my Fox Lord. This is my cover. I am indeed living alone. My last given instruction was "everything will be clear once you find him."

As soon as he entered the classroom, he saw the most annoying creature, Naruto Namikaze, sitting in front of his seat, looking at him. Naruto Namikaze has blond hair, blue eyes, tan skin, and three whisker marks on each side of his cheeks. He also wears a pair of glasses that make him look slightly intelligent and kinda cute. Not that Sasuke would admit it.

"Good morning, Sasuke." Naruto's childish voice made Sasuke cringe his ears.

"Hn." Naruto continued staring at Sasuke with the goofy smile of his. Annoyed, Sasuke scowled.

"What are you looking at, dobe?"

"You are as beautiful as usual, Sasuke." Naruto grinned wider.

"Hn. You are as annoying as usual, dobe." Sasuke glared his infamous Uchiha glare.

"Aww…Sasuke, so cruel. Hahahahaha…" Naruto just laughed it off, as usual. He is immuned to the glare because he is used to it.

Stupid dobe. He always greets me like this every morning since the first day I came to this school. I've only been here for like three days and he managed to get under my skin. My glare did not seem to have any effect on him. Hn. Maybe I have to go back and train more.

"Ne, ne, are you free after school? I can show you around since you are new to Konoha. There are lots of places we can go, as a couple of course." Naruto asked with the smile still in his face.

"Get lost, dobe." Seriously, I can't search thoroughly for my Fox Lord if he continued to bug me like this.

Suddenly the sound of laughter came from none other than Inuzuka Kiba, one of Naruto's best friends. Nara Shikamaru stood right behind him, with a bored look on his face.

"Ha ha ha. Naruto, you got dumped again by the ice princess."

"Troublesome. You should not plaster him like that, Naruto. Seriously, you sound so desperate." Shikamaru a.k.a Shika yawned.

"Shut it, Kiba. Who got dumped again? Hmmph…" Naruto turned around and pouted.

Sasuke just looked at the entire conversation with a somewhat bored look because he faced this every morning. This became some kind of morning routine for him.

He sure is popular. Sasuke thought as he watched most of his classmates greeted Naruto a good morning and tried to start a conversation with him. Hn, I wish he just leave me alone.

Ignoring his classmates and Naruto, he settled to place his bag inside the drawer under his desk. As soon as he did that, he found a note under the desk. What's disturbing him is the words written, It is impossible.

Hn. Is this a warning to me? Some kind of prank? Or someone got the wrong desk? Sasuke thought of all the possibilities that came to his mind. He recalled his father's order to protect the Fox Lord at all cost.

Hn. Whoever it is will regret this. No one messes with an Uchiha.

He scanned around the class to see if there is someone suspicious. No matter what, I have to find the Fox Lord ASAP. He crumbled the paper with a determined look on his face. The bell rang, signalling the beginning of first period. The day went on uneventful.

When the last lesson of the day by Ibiki sensei ended, Naruto was asked to take two stacks of the assignment papers to the teacher's office. Sasuke watched as Naruto started to mumble about how heavy it was and how it was going to drop if he tried to take it by himself.

Pissed, Sasuke stood up abruptly and said, "Can't you just ask for help?"

Gotcha. Naruto smiled 'sweetly' and said, "Thank you for the offer, Sasuke. How kind of you." Sasuke scowled.

"Who said that I'm going to help you, dobe?"

"Teme. Come on, just this once. And stop calling me a dobe. I'm pretty smart, you know." Naruto boasted. Sasuke just rolled his eyes.

Somehow, he managed to convince Sasuke to help him carry half of the papers. As they walked down the corridor towards the teacher's office, Naruto explained where each room is and where they are located.

"I am the Vice President of the Student Council. You can come and play sometimes, Sasuke." Naruto said as they passed the Student Council room.

"Hn, if you are the VP then this school is doomed, dobe."

"Why you, teme! Sorry to disappoint you but I am very competent at my job in the Student Council. Anyway, the president is a nice guy so he won't mind."

Sasuke noticed that Naruto was greeted by almost everyone as they walked down the corridor. From junior to senior, even some of them offered to help Naruto carry the papers. Sasuke felt a little bit of tingling inside him but he ignored it as he never had it before so he thought it might be something from lunch he had today.

Tch. Does the whole school know him? What is it about him that everyone seems to be fascinated by him? Hn.

"Watch your step, Sasuke." As soon as Naruto said this, he somehow tripped himself over the steps and all the papers scattered around the corridor.

What a klutz. Usuratonkachi. Sasuke sweatdropped (Yes, he actually did this hohohoho) as he watched Naruto picked up all the papers. He made no move to help.

Finally, they reached the office and put the papers on Ibiki sensei's desk.

"Thanks, Sasuke."

"Hn."

"We can walk through the courtyard on our way back. You haven't seen it yet, have you?"

"Hn."

"The weather is nice today, ne, Sasuke? You know, this feels like a date with you, Sasuke. I feel so happy…bla…bla…bla…" Naruto continued to rattle on and on while Sasuke tuned him out and scanned around the area to see if there's anyone suspicious. He somehow felt a little bit uneasy after he received the notes this morning.

Suddenly a pot fell down and almost hit Naruto if it's not for Sasuke's fast reflex. He immediately looked up to see if there's someone on the roof. He didn't manage to spot anything, though.

"Woa! That was close! Where did it come from?" Naruto was surprised. He felt his knees grew weak and lost its strength. He stumbled down and fell on his knees.

Who did this? An attack to him or to me? Or just a freaking accident? Sasuke looked for someone or something suspicious. He was jolted from his focus when Naruto shouted because he injured his fingers by touching the broken pot.

"Baka!" He didn't know why, but somehow, the thought of Naruto nearly injured made his chest tightened.

Sasuke then remembered the only clue his father gave to help him find the Fox Lord. It is the red jade he is wearing, the Dark Blue Hook. The next Fox Lord bears the same jade, except for the colour. The Fox Lord has a Light Blue Hook.

Just now, I can sense the presence of the hook. Where are you, my Fox Lord?

The Next Day

RING.

"Alright, everyone. Enjoy your weekends and don't forget to finish the homework I gave you." Kakashi sensei, the math teacher, said as he ignored the groans from the students.

As the lessons ended, Naruto quickly dashed out of the room, ignoring Sasuke. Sasuke watched from his desk. The whole day, Naruto did not plaster Sasuke as usual. He somehow managed to distract himself from Sasuke by helping his other classmates on their homeworks.

How rare. He does not stick to me as usual. Maybe yesterday's event somehow got into him. He got up and prepared to leave when Shika called him.

"Sasuke, Naruto asked you to meet him at the rooftop. Tch. Troublesome." Shika yawned and walked out of the classroom.

"Hn." After he left, Sasuke to ponder about Naruto's intention. He was on his way to the rooftop when he noticed another notes on the wall, pierced by a kunai. It has the same content as the first note. Sasuke was surprised and immediately stayed alert, not that he was not alert all the time. But, this made him more alert than usual.

Who the hell did this? How did they know I will be heading here? Only Shika, Naruto and maybe Kiba knew I was coming this way. Could it be? Well, since this morning, Naruto has been acting strange. He looked like he got something to say, but every time he approached me and opened his mouth; he suddenly smiled sheepishly and said it's nothing. Hmm, maybe I'm reading into this too much.

Sasuke arrived at the rooftop and saw Naruto standing near the fence, head looking at the sky.

"Ah, Sasuke! I'm glad you came. I thought you are going to ignore me again. Hehehehe…"

"What do you want, dobe?"

"Stop calling me dobe, teme! Anyway, I think you already know what I wanted to say." Naruto smirked and clapped his hands together.

Is he going to cast a spell? Sasuke prepared for the attack…that never came.

"Please go out with me!" Naruto said as he kneeled down and put both his hands in the air.

This, of course, caught Sasuke off-guard. Naruto waited and waited for a response.

"What kind of ninja spell is that?" Well, that was not the kind of response Naruto would expect.

"Huh? Ninja spell? What the hell are you talking about, teme?" Naruto looked confused. "Well, you don't have to answer it straight away, I mean, if you need to think about it and all…" Naruto didn't have the chance to finish his sentence because Sasuke cut in.

"Sorry. Impossible. Can't go out with you. Don't even THINK about it." Sasuke curtly replied.

Well, that kinda sucks. Naruto thought as each word feels like a stab directly towards his heart. But I'm not gonna give up. I'm not Naruto Namikaze for nothing.

"Please, Sasuke." He crawled over towards Sasuke with a pout and big blue puppy-eyes. "Men couple can still adopt children together. Just think about it first, please."

"Hn. The answer is still no. Now, get off me." Sasuke tried to pry off Naruto when suddenly, two shurinkens were thrown at him. He managed to dodge it, grabbing Naruto along as he jumped. He looked up to see a masked man.

They wanted to risk involving an outsider? Or maybe Naruto is part of them?

"As much as I appreciate the closeness, teme, it hurts." Sasuke turned his focus on Naruto and noticed that he had his hands on Naruto's hair.

"Hn."

Naruto rubbed his abused hair and then he noticed the shurinkens.

"What happened? Woa?! Are those real? Are they ninjas? Are you a ninja too?" Naruto began shooting questions at Sasuke.

"Shut up, dobe. You are giving me headache. To answer your question, yes, I am a ninja and I came here to look for someone and to protect him. So, I can't go out with you or anyone else. Not that I wanted to even if this person does not exist." Naruto looked stunned and he could not say anything. "If you laugh, dobe, I won't hestitate to kill you."

"Eh!! Don't be so cruel, teme. I will never laugh at you. Wow, so you really are a ninja, huh? That's kinda cool. Can you transfigure? Can you show me any of your techniques?" Naruto tried to lighten the mood as he looked for some kind of good reaction from Sasuke. This didn't happen though as Sasuke advanced towards him with a kunai on his hands and looked like he was ready to strike. Naruto backed down until he can feel the fence on his back.

"My identity and my mission are top secret. You know too much and you look suspicious. Are you tagging me?" As soon as he said this, Sasuke tried to cut through Naruto, however, Naruto managed to dodge the attack. But, as a result, his shirt was torn into two, revealing his chest.

Sasuke prepared to strike again when something around Naruto's neck caught Sasuke's attention and made him halted his attack. It was the Light Blue Hook that his Fox Lord was supposed to have.

Impossible. Is he really the Fox Lord? No way.

"Where did you get that?"

"Get what? Oh, this," Naruto hold the hook up, "My granny pick it up by the riverside. Pretty, huh? I love it coz it matches the colour of my eyes. I have to fight for it though. Stupid baa-chan won't give it to me even though I have begged in every way possible." Naruto mumbled.

Pick it up? Then, where's the Fox Lord? Tch. I need to maintain secrecy if I want to continue my search. Well, it seemed that I need to erase the dobe's memory of today. Hn. I need him alive, after all. Who knows, maybe he knows something about the Fox Lord. Oh, how I hope he IS NOT the Fox Lord.

Naruto looked at Sasuke curiously, wondering what he was thinking about, before he suddenly felt sleepy. Before he closed his eyes, he noted that Sasuke's eyes had turned red, with three black dots. Sasuke has used his Sharingan, a technique only an Uchiha has, to hypnotize Naruto so he forgot everything that happened today. Then, he just left Naruto sitting on the rooftop and went home.

At the rooftop after Sasuke left

Naruto opened his eyes and stretched. He sighed as Kiba and Shika approached him.

"Sasuke is so uptight. Damn."

"Naruto-dono (1). Are you hurt?" Shika asked, actually look a little bit concerned.

"Nah, I'm fine, Shika. Sasuke saved me, although he could do it more gently. My hair still hurts because of his grip. Damn, he sure has a strong grip for such a skinny guy. And you, Shika? You okay?"

"I'm fine. Just a little flesh wound."

"Hmm...As expected from the Uchiha prodigy. In one strike, he managed to protect me and to counterattack. Impressive. Yet, I seemed to make a mistake to let him see this." Naruto motioned his eyes to the necklace.

"Won't it be easier to just tell him, dono?" Kiba asked.

"No, it will be meaningless. I want him to fall in love with me for me, not just the Fox Lord." Naruto smirked.

"Tch, troublesome." Shika yawned and immediately fell asleep. Kiba and Naruto looked at each other and sweatdropped.

"You wrote 'it is impossible' on the note. What does it mean?" Kiba waited for the answer curiously.

"Oh, that. It means that 'it is impossible to resist my charm.' Hahahaha…"

"I should have guessed." Kiba snickered.

Naruto never acted like a Lord to both Shikamaru and Kiba. So, they often joked around like friends. That's why Shikamaru and Kiba are so faithful to Naruto and will go with whatever ideas he came up with, including this.

"Oh, damn!" Naruto suddenly remembered something and pouted.

"What's wrong?" Kiba asked.

"I have to forget about my confession, every single word."

"It's probably for the best. Who the hell confess on his knees and crawled anyway, hahahaha..." Kiba laughed out loud while Naruto continued to sulk because his confession was a failure. Shikamaru just continued to take his nap. It is amazing that he can sleep through all the noise.

-TBC-

(1) Dono Lord in Japanese. But I don't know if I spelled it right though. Forgive me if I'm wrong.

Anyway, review please!! I hope this story is interesting enough. I really like the manga. It is so cute. If you don't like the story then I won't be able to continue. ()
