So young. Feilong leaned against a wall and took another puff of the cheap cigarette he had in his hand, so different from the pipe that he used to smoke back home. Then again, back home he had control over all the black market trading routes in mainland China, Hongkong and Macau (or regaining control, at least, after his father's death years ago.) Never mind that. He could dwell on the past another time. Right now, he had other things to concern himself with.

Namely, the young man -a boy, even- making his way along a side walk.

"You don't look very happy," Feilong commented, once the boy was close enough to hear him without having to shout.

Naruto jumped at the voice...and immediately heard Kakashi's mellow drawl in his head, chiding him on a very un-ninja like reaction. He turned, glancing at the pale man with the long dark hair, and felt a bit uneased. He didn't have a great track record with them.

"Yeah, uh...hard day. Week." He said, laughing nervously as he scratched his neck. "You know, Igura and all."

[dracomutasis]

"I do know." Feilong gave the boy a deliberate once over and smiled gently. Unlike Asami, Feilong was capable of looking sincere at times. Especially when he had spotted a potential prey. He was the head of Baishe after all, the White Snake. "Lost a fight?"

Naruto didn't answer for a minute, starting at the man and weighing the pros and cons in his head. He didn't know this guy...but then again he shouldn't assume there was anything WRONG with this guy. And he didn't know ANY one here, except for the like 800 Sasuke's (or, 2, but there being more then one was still slightly short circuiting his brain) that he still couldn't quiet figure out.

Finally, grudgingly, he nodded. "Yeah." Before adding, his pride not letting him go with out it. "I'm better at home."

Sasuke had sensed Naruto, and immediately cursed mentally. He was out shopping, again, but this time making his way to the pharmacy to buy more bandages and hydrogen peroxide. He knew that now that he had unintentionally run into Naruto, the idiot wouldn't leave him alone.

Still, when he glanced back over his shoulder, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Naruto had gotten himself beaten up good. This...amused him. Greatly.

"How pitiful." He couldn't help but smirk as he watched the blond struggle. Hell, the smirk was even evident in his voice.

[fox_in_tummy]

Naruto felt the familiarity of that voice shoot through him, all his tired muscles tensing, all his hairs standing on edge. He spun around, blue eyes wide.

Sasuke.

Sure, he'd gotten those comment, but...but seeing some faceless comment, and seeing Sasuke, HIS Sasuke right there...

He swallowed heavily, staring at him, not really sure what to say. His usual reaction to Sasuke, to try to bring him home...didn't really apply here. At all.

"...Sasuke."

[theloneheir]

"No, I'm your mother." Sasuke merely rolled his eyes, unimpressed that the only thing this Naruto seemed to be able to say was his name. He was starting to think that he wasn't really Naruto after all and just a broken record in disguise.

"The pharmacy's ahead. Don't expect me to help you crawl over there."

[fox_in_tummy]

Well. That ruined any deep, intense moment Naruto had been having. He scowled, deeply, nose wrinkling up, and resisting the urge to find something to throw at the other. Sasuke knew how to get his ire raised faster, and simpler then anyone else around.

"Shut up asshole!" He said in a half hearted snarl. But there was something under it, almost laughter...fighting with Sasuke, bickering...was FAR more comfortable then what he had at home. He knew how to deal with this, he knew how this game played out.

"I don't need your help, I can get there just fine."
