I was right in front of his door, I was about to knock on the dark oak door, but I was hesitating for some reason.

Probably because he was so off these past few days, right after I mentioned that something was going on with me, he must be worried about me or something. Cute.

After standing there for a second, I knock on the door and wait for him to open. I hear shuffling in the apartment before the blonde opened the door.

He had his hair messier than usual and was wearing a pastel orange hoodie with ramen on them. He also wore ripped skinny jeans and had his white socks on,

"Oh, Sasuke, didn't realize you'd be 15 minutes early," he swung open the door and motioned me to come in, even though he seemed very hesitant about it.

I thanked him and walked into his small apartment, took off my shoes, and looked around. It was nice and clean, surprisingly. It seemed as if it was empty, excluding Naruto.

There were no pictures on the walls whatsoever. The whole house seemed bland except for the kitchen, which was filled, with instant ramen.

He told me to sit on one of the only seating he had in his living room which was the sofa, I sat down and he exited the room to another one that seemed like his.

I only caught a glimpse of what was in there. I saw a pile of photos, pictures, and posters. Some of them were people, while others were of himself.

I couldn't make out who was in the picture except for Naruto, there was an older person that resembled him and another person who I couldn't make out but had red hair.

I look away from the room. That information might be useful. I hear Naruto unlock the door about 5 minutes later, with his hair looking somewhat better and had his shoes on.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Let's go!" he cheered, while cheerfully skipping to the door.

I smile softly before following him out the door and walking to my car. He waits for me to unlock it.

I do. I then open the door on his side, "Ladies first," I tease him. He didn't like that. He frowned before sticking his tongue out at me, and getting in the car regardless of my teasing,

I closed the door for him and then go to the drivers' side and getting in the car. I start the car and then pull out of the parking area and then start driving to the store.

Naruto immediately starts talking. About how cool my car was, how excited he was, and pretty much everything you could think of,

"...so cool! Hey, Sasuke? Didn't you say something was bothering you?" he asked, recalling his memory from the previous day.

I nod, "Well? What was bothering you?" he asked curiously,

I glance at him and then back at the road, "You won't believe me," I told him. He obviously wouldn't unless he was the Uzumaki or some other person that is associated with the strings.

Naruto smirked, "I've heard tons of crazy thing, Uchiha, trust me, I'll believe you," he said, proud of himself,

I take my previous statement back. If he does, believe me. He's just being an idiot.

I look away from him and keep my eyes on the road, "You know the Japanese urban legend, the red strings?" I ask him, he nods, "Well, I can see them with a unique eye of mine," I tell him. He stares at me dumbfounded,

"Um, Sasuke? Are you sure-" he asked me. I rolled my eyes and cut him off, "I knew you wouldn't believe me-"

"No, I believe you," he said, cutting me off this time. "I just want to know if you're sure that you would really want to get me involved in this," he explained,

This guy might be connected, to the strings, that or he's a complete idiot. I nod, and he beams, "Nice to know I'm trustworthy!" he smiled, putting his feet up.

I sigh, "As I was saying, I have a special eye. It's called the Sharingan. I can see the red strings. The Hyuuga clan can't see them but can find their soulmates immediately since they have the Byaakugan, you got it?" I ask him,

He nods with a serious face. I continue, "I decided to follow my string, and I followed it to find it cut off at the end. Apparently, the family with the power to cut off the string or hide them from a Sharingan or Byakugan user are called the Uzumaki's."

And from the corner of my eye, I swear, I thought I saw him flinch, but he had a calm expression on, "The Uzumaki's however, was murdered years ago, meaning that there is at least one of them left,"

"My goal is to find that Uzumaki, so, are you in or are you out?" I ask him, parking in the spot and then looking at him directly in the eye. He didn't hesitate to smile and nod, with that stupid grin on his face, now that I notice it, he is pretty adorable, if I could I would date him, whatever, not while I'm trying to achieve my goal, I'll figure the whole 'I want to date Naruto' thing later.

I get out of the car along with Naruto, and we walk into the store. It was a camping store, with tents and whatnot. Yet, Naruto still found a way to be amazed by all of this.

"Wow! Look, Sasuke! It's a tent!" he said, running up to the tents. How can someone be so excited by something like a tent?

"Hn, interesting," I said with no interest whatsoever. I saw him run all over the store, dragging me by the hand with him. After making our 5th round around the store, he finally came to a stop.

He turned to me, "So what do we need to get?" I grab a small wrinkled piece of paper out of my pocket and unfold it.

Naruto leans over to take a look at the list, "Sleeping bags," he muttered, "I think I saw some this way," he says as he grabs my hand and drags me in that direction.

I stare at his blonde hair as he dragged me. He really was attractive. I mean, it's not like I'm straight. I know I like guys, people don't know because I don't tell people, I don't like them. Well, Karin, specifically, I don't care about the rest.

"Um, Sasuke, some help please?" I was too deep in thought to notice Naruto had let go of my hand and got himself stuck in the fishing nets.

I shake my head and go to help him. We'll be blessed if we can even survive the first five minutes in the woods.

A/N Just to clear some things up, because I forgot to last time. Naruto is known as Naruto Namikaze to Sasuke. I didn't know if you guys picked it up. Sorry, :)
