SasuNaru- Trapped Part 1

SasuNaru one-shot part 1

Trapped


"Naruto!!!"

A blonde head snapped to his side where the voice had come from, but all he was met with was darkness. He panicked, not knowing what was going on, when he heard the voice call his name again. "Hello?!" He called out into the nothingness around him. He wasn't even sure if he was standing on anything, really, until he felt himself starting to fall, wind rushing past him at high velocities, making his topaz hair wisp every which way.

"NARUTO!!!!!' The voice called again, and even though Naruto could hear it, he couldn't see the person, or thing, that was calling him. He was trapped, paralyzed, stuck in that one spot. Even if it felt like he was moving, he wasn't. Everything was just an illusion....until he was smacked across the face. HARD.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Naruto shot up, eyes wide, beads of sweat forming at the peak of his hair. He was looking into a pair of black-encircled teal eyes, and his own narrowed aggravatedly. "What, Gaara?" He asked, wiping his forehead. He took a quick look around, and realized that he was in the neighborhood park, and he had fallen asleep on his picnic blanket.

"Finally. Listen, I'm having a party at my place tonight, and Temari told me to invite you. Now, either you come, or have Temari yell at me, and then I'll beat the living crap out of you," Gaara said bluntly, crouched in front of a shocked blonde, arms crossed. Naruto just rolled his eyes and stood up, running a hand through his hair.

"Fine, whatever, I'll go. What time?" He asked, already packing up his belongings. It was almost twilight, and he had left the house at about 1, so he had been asleep for quite a while.

"7:30, but everyone will be there around 8. Tem wants you to come early though," He said, shrugging his shoulders. Naruto placed the folded blanket in the picnic basket and turned to Gaara.

"Why?"

"I don't know, she just does. I suggest you do as she says though. She's tough," and, with that, he turned on his heels and walked away swiftly. Naruto just sighed and started back for his house.

It took the blonde a good 15 minutes to make it back to his apartment, and once he got there, he plopped down all his picnic belongings in the kitchen and headed for his room. The nap at the park had sure done him justice, and he yawned, stretching his back and arms out, then checked the time. The clock read 5:30 p.m., just enough time for him to take a shower, eat, and make his way to Gaara's house. He rushed to his bathroom and quickly undressed, turning the shower on, and got in. He let the warm liquid run down his tan, slim frame, and he closed his eyes, tilting his head back, relaxing. He stayed like that for a few minutes, before actually begining the showering process, scrubbing his blonde head vigorously with coconut-pineapple scented shampoo, then rinsing, and washing his body with a lavendar-scented body wash, and rinsing that as well. He sighed, stepping out of the shower and wrapping himself in a towel and heading to his room.

Naruto never really was much of a thinking person, never thinking much as he did things, but something about Gaara's party made him think a lot. It got him excited, and it took him forever to choose something to wear. He settled for a pair of slightly-loose gray skinny jeans and a short-sleeved shirt with little emblems on them. What they were, the blonde had no idea. He dried his spikey-blonde hair with a towel before throwing it into his hamper and rushed into his kitchen, begining to make ramen. He was about to reach for a pot when the phone rang, and he walked over to the living room to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Naruto" A deep, flat voice answered. The blonde recognized the voice immediately, and a smile played across his features. The voice belonged to a certain Raven of his, his best friend and eternal rival.

"Hi Sasuke. What's up?" He said, heading back into the kitchen, ramen packet now in hand.

"Eh, Nothing much. You hear about Gaara's party tonight?" Sasuke asked. The Uchiha was in his room, sitting on the edge of his bed, looking through some of his old CD's. Gaara had invited him as well, as long as he brought some CD's to play at the party. He just hoped that Gaara liked rock, because that was pretty much all he had. He flipped through the CD covers, glimpsing at an Armor For Sleep CD that Naruto had given him a while back, and took it out of the transparent sleeve, putting it in a labeless case.

"Yeah, he invited me about an hour ago, actually. Why, you going?" He asked as he put the phone between his shoulder and ear and filled the pot with hot water from the sink, then set it back down on the stove, lighting it up.

"Yeah. Gaara said I could come as long as I brought some CD's..." He said, spotting a Silverstein and a She Wants Revenge CD. "Which do you think I should bring, Silverstein or She Wants Revenge?" He asked, torn between the two.

"Oooh, hard pick. I think She Wants Revenge. Everyone likes some good perverted songs," He said, chuckling as he put the top on the pot and jumped up on the counter, sitting on the edge, legs dangling.

"Alright..." He said, taking the She Wants Revenge CD out of that sleeve and setting it aside until he got another case to put it in. "So, when are you going?"

"He wanted me to be there by 7:30. I dunno why though, he said it was because his sister wanted me there early or something. He said that no one's gonna be there till 8 though, but whatever. She probably just wants me to help set up and stuff, you know?" He said, holding the phone to his ear again as he leaned back, his right arm holding him up steady.

"Weird. Well, then, I guess I'll just see you there," The raven said, taking out another CD and putting it aside. "Three CD's should be enough, right?"

"Yeah, should last about 4 hours or so. See you later, then, Sasuke." Naruto said, a smile still on his face as he jumped down from the counter, taking the top off the pot and pouring his ramen into the now-boiling water.

"Okay, bye..." Sasuke said as he hung up, closing his CD case and looking at the 3 CD's he had picked out, and went in search for more CD cases.

Naruto sighed as he hung up the phone simultaneously with Sasuke and waited for his ramen to finish. 'I wonder what Temari wants me for' He thought, and leaned against the countertop again, fixing his gaze on a single leaf that was still struggling to hang onto a tree outside his kitchen window.

~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~TIME SKIP TO GAARA'S HOUSE~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

Naruto shivered as a slight breeze hit his bare arms, and he walked through the front gate to Gaara's house. He knocked on the door, and checked his cell phone quickly. He had a text from Sasuke.


Naruto

Meet me in Gaara's bedroom at 10 tonight. I have to talk to you

Sasuke


Naruto didn't know what to think of the text message, nor did he have the time, because Temari swung the door open, a big smile on her face.

"Naruto! You're Here! Come on, we need tons of help!" She said, relieved that Naruto had gotten there early, and pulled him inside just as the blonde had put his cell phone in his back pocket. Just as Naruto had suspected, he was only needed there to help with setting the party up. There was a long table at one end of the room with a red party cloth over it, and a big bowl of punch in the middle. On the other side of the room there was a big DJ stand, probably where Sasuke was going to put the CD's in to play for the party. Kankurou was in the kitchen, grabbing big bags of chips to put on the punch table, and Gaara was...not in the room. 'Probably in his own room', Naruto thought as Temari put a hand on his shoulder. "Okay, we need you to go to the backyard and help Gaara set up the stage for karaoke, and he'll tell you what to do from there. Once done there, you can come and help Kakurou set out all the food. If you need me, I'll be in the front yard, putting up more decorations," She said quickly, and stepped back outside. Naruto exchanged glances with Kankurou before walking down the hallway towards the backyard, where Gaara was. He spotted the red-head on his knees, banging the base of a huge wooden stage with his fist.

"Hey, Gaara..." The blonde said as he walked towards the insomniac carefully, watching as sea-foam green eyes darted to his direction, then softened.

"Oh, Naruto, you're here," Gaara said, standing up and running a hand through his blood-red hair.

"So, Temari just wanted me to come and help, huh?" Naruto asked, looking around the back yard. It was already pretty dark, but they already had a barbeque out to the side and lights set up everywhere. Next to the stage there were collossal speakers, and on top of them there was a pair of microphones for the karaoke.

"Yeah. I'm pretty much done here, I just have to check all the lighting and everything. You can go inside and help Kankurou, everyone'll be here soon," He said, dismissing the blonde as he turned his back on him for the second time that day as he walked over to the side of the house, turning on the lights so they shone different shades of blue, yellow, green, and red.

"Alright then," Naruto said as he stuffed his hands into his pockets and walked back inside. He spotted Kankurou over at the punch table, opening a bag of sour-cream onion chips and pouring them into another large bowl. "Kankurou, Gaara sent me to help you"

"Oh, awesome. Just empty out the pantry of all the bags of chips and plastic cups and bring them over here," The puppeteer instructed, and threw the now-empty bag of chips in the trash bag next to him. Naruto did as told, and they were done setting up for the party in the next 10 minutes.

The blonde sighed and decided to go out to the front and check on Temari to see if she needed help. He opened the door only to come face-to-face with obsidian eyes, dark raven hair, and a perfect, placid face, only belonging to Uchiha Sasuke. Naruto's eyes widened for a moment, then he relaxed as he realized who it was, and grinned, backing up a step. "Hey, Sasuke!" He said, letting the Uchiha walk inside the house. Sasuke smiled only the slightest bit and walked past Naruto, three cases in hand. The raven was wearing a pair of black slacks, a navy-blue collared shirt (heavens knows why he owns one xD ), and black vans.

"Hey, Naruto...Kankurou," He greeted the two boys, and made his way over to the DJ booth and setting the CD's down. At that moment, Temari and Gaara entered the house from opposite ends, locking eyes. Temari glanced over to Naruto, then noticed that Sasuke had arrived.

"Oh, hi Sasuke! Nice of you to come!" Temari said a little too excitedly, and smile crossing her lips. Gaara just watched her, and walked over to Sasuke to look at the CD's that he had brought.

"Hi...." He said, turning back to Naruto. The scarred-cheek boy just kept on grinning, glad that his best friend was already there. Though a small part inside him wanted to ask Sasuke about the text, he thought better of it. He'd rather just talk about it when the time came. '10:00...I can wait...' He thought, and stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"Sasuke, you won't believe it! They have a karaoke machine out in the backyard, with a stage and everything!" Naruto said excitedly, remembering the last time he and the Uchiha had done a duet together. It really wasn't that bad, of course, because the raven had drowned Naruto out a bit, but that was fine with him. Everyone, including Naruto, knew that he couldn't sing at all, but Sasuke, on the other hand, could. Tremendously well.

"Really?" Sasuke asked, and eyebrow raised. This had grabbed his attention, and he liked the idea of doing some karaoke. He hadn't sung for a while, since the last time he had been over to Naruto's house and they had played Singstar, but that was just a game.

"Yeah!!! Come on, I'll show you!" Naruto said, grabbing Sasuke by the wrist and leading him outside. Gaara had left the lights on, and it had grown darker, so the fluorescent lights stood out even more. A bright blue light shone on Sasuke while a yellow one on Naruto, and they stood there looking at the stage. Yes, Sasuke was a little impressed, and he even walked over to the speakers to test out the mics.

"This is pretty cool..." He said, looking around and tapping the microphone in the palm of his hands.

"I know!!! Hey, maybe we can sing a duet?" Naruto was now back at Sasuke side, and he nudged him in the ribs with his elbows, and laughed. "Nah, I'm just kidding. But you should totally make a performance, Sasuke!" He persisted, shaking Sasuke's arm up and down, making the raven-haired teen laugh.

"Fine, fine, but not till after everyone gets here and their mildly drunk," He said, smirking as he put the micrphone down and shrugging out of Naruto's grasp.

"Yeah!!" Naruto said, punching the air with his fist, and suddenly they hear a high-pitched voice from the front of the room.

"SASUKE-KUUUUN!!!!" It yelled out, and Sasuke sighed aggravatedly while Naruto's eyes darkened a bit.

"Here comes trouble..." They both mumbled under their breath as a certain pink-haired girl skipped towards the two boys. Sakura was wearing a pink and white frilled mini-skirt and a strapless, long-sleeved red shirt, and white high heels.

"Hi Sasuke-kun!!!" Her eyes sparkled and her cheeks were the same tint of pink as her hair, and she smiled sweetly(If you could call it sweet...).

"Hi, Sakura..." Sasuke mumbled annoyingly, looking away from his stalker.

"Sakura, what are you doing here? I didn't know Gaara invited you," Naruto said, scratching the back of his head quizzically.

"Well, he did, so I'm here." She said to Naruto in a rude manner before turning back to Sasuke, smilling again. "Anyways, Sasuke-kun, after the music starts playing, do you want to maybe dance with me?" She asked, bringing her hands up to her chest in the form of fists. The pose made her look like a little 12-year-old girl again. Sasuke sighed and finally looked Sakura in the eye.

"Look, Sakura, I realy appreciate the offer, but I'm not in the dancing mood tonight," He said, glancing over to Naruto, then back to the pink problem.

"Well, if you don't want to dance, then maybe we could just sit down and talk!" She tried again, hoping that she could score some kind of alone time with Sasuke tonight.

"No, Sakura, it's alright. I'd rather not," He said, his obsidian eyes narrowing, hopefully giving Sakura the hint.

"Oh....okay then..." She said, walking away, but gave Naruto a menacing glare before walking back inside the house.

"Can you say clingy much?" Naruto said, staring increduously at where Sakura has just been.

"Yeah..." Sasuke grumbed, shaking his head disapprovingly.

"You'd think she would get the message by now..." Naruto said, then shrugged it off. "Oh well. So, what do you want to do till everyone gets here?"

Sasuke shrugged and started walking back inside, and Naruto followed him, and soon the entire house was full of people. 'Only another hour and a half before I talk to Sasuke...' Naruto thought, still puzzled by what it could be the raven wanted to talk about.
