This will ultimately be different from the Round Robin version (since there are three other authors working on the R.R). If you want to read that version please visit the LiveJournal community, http://www.livejournal.com/community/nsn_roundrobin/. Note that it is Round Robin #4, Mystery/Horror/Thriller.
Pairings: SasuNaruSasu / Lee/Sakura / Kiba/Hinata

~~~~~
Naruto walked carefully down the corridor, making certain that he made no sounds. A large smirk adorned his mischievous face as he neared the last door in the hallway. This was it, he was finally going to be the winner. Quietly, he pushed open the hollow aluminum door. He pulled the white bed sheet down over his lean body and adjusted the mask which fit over it.
Fully prepared to cause Sasuke a heart attack, he charged into the small apartment to only discover he was alone. There was no one home. “Sa~suke,” Naruto gritted out. He pulled off his ghost costume and threw it down. “Figures you weren’t here. And I was finally going to repay you for scaring me the other day on that mission.” The boys were now eighteen and ever since Sasuke’s return to Konoha they had been steadily growing closer, but they were still first and foremost rivals.
Naruto walked over to the window and stared out at the crowded street below. People were busy preparing for the fall harvest celebration and there were very few missions for the nins to participate in. He was lost in thought as strong hands reached out from behind and goosed him around his midsection. Naruto jumped and squealed causing his attacker to fall on the floor in a fit of laughter. “I got you again!” It was Sasuke, crumpled up in a ball clutching his sides and guffawing over Naruto’s expression. “Some ninja you are.”
“I wasn’t paying attention, and why would I -- Sasuke?! It’s not like something’s going to attack me in your apartment.” Sasuke immediately ceased his laughter. He gazed up at the angry man before him and smiled.
“Are you so sure of that?”
“Huh?” Naruto was confused by the velvety tone in Sasuke’s voice as he spoke. He knew there were no enemies of Konoha at the present time, and so why would someone be trying to attack him? It just didn’t make any sense, but then Sasuke rarely ever made any sense. “Look Sasuke, I think that this whole scaring each other thing is getting silly.”
“Silly? Really, you of all people think this is getting silly.” Sasuke pushed himself up and moved next to Naruto. He cared about Naruto, but was unable to figure out how to tell him. It was because of this that Sasuke had actually staged a ghost sighting to scare Naruto closer to him. All he had wanted was to take him in his arms and protect him, but that sadly didn’t work out. Naruto had instead run all the way back to the village and hid under his bed. Sasuke sighed quietly as the event played out in his mind. “Naruto,” Sasuke began. He swallowed hard trying to gather courage up to tell his friend about how he truly felt.
“Aah! Look it’s Shikamaru!” Naruto ignored Sasuke and stuck his whole torso out the window to garner Shikamaru’s attention. “Hey! Shikamaru!!”
Shikamaru gazed slowly in the direction from which Naruto’s loud bellow was emanating. “What?!” Naruto really was a pain.
“I was wondering if you had asked anyone to the festival yet!”
“Why do you care?!” Shikamaru rolled his eyes. Honestly, he didn’t even really want to go. The only thing he wanted was to sit in a shogi parlor and play chess until he fell asleep.
“I was just wondering. Yeesh.” Naruto pulled himself back inside and looked at Sasuke, who was glaring at Naruto. “What’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing.”
“I’m hungry. You want to go and get ramen with me?”
Sasuke was still miffed with Naruto for ignoring him, but any time he got to spend with him made him happy. “Sure.” Naruto beamed and grabbed up his sheet and rolled it into a ball.
“Did you really think you were going to scare me with that lame-ass costume?”
“What do you mean ‘lame-ass’?! I worked all night trying to come up with something good.” Naruto held up the mask which vaguely resembled that of a noh actor’s mask. It was indeed frightening and if you were of the more nervous type, it would be scary but only in the dark. “Sheesh, you would think that my best friend would be a bit more supportive of me.”
Sasuke rolled his eyes and chuckled lightly. He truly did love his best friend.
~~~~~
Naruto and Sasuke walked into the Godaime’s office early the next day to find out if they had any assignments for that week. “Ah, boys. Come here.” The two boys looked at each other, curious as to why Tsunade was so glad to see them. “I was hoping the two of you would show up soon. I have a mission for you. You’ll need to gather three other members to go with you. I suggest asking Shikamaru if he will join you.”
“What’s the mission?” Sasuke asked quietly as he was handed a file.
“There have been some unusual occurrences in the Midorimori[1] area.”
Naruto glanced over Sasuke’s shoulder at the file. “What do you mean by ‘unusual occurrences,’ Tsunade obaa-san?”
Tsunade glared a little at Naruto. She had asked him years ago to stop calling her by that nickname, but he just never listened. “Disappearances and reports of odd noises.”
“So you want us to gather up a team and check it out?” Sasuke handed the file back to Tsunade.
“Yes.”
“Understood.”
“Oh, and boys ... be careful. I’m not entirely certain what’s out there, but it may be something that none of you have ever faced before.” Sasuke wasn’t certain why, but his stomach knotted up at Tsunade’s words. He looked over at Naruto who had a grin on his face and seemed completely at ease with their mission.
“I think we should first ask Shikamaru, then gather the other two.” Naruto nodded in agreement with Sasuke’s decision.
“He’s probably at the shogi parlor,” and Naruto was correct in his assumption, that was exactly where Shikamaru was. “Shikamaru! How’s it going?” Naruto peered over his shoulder and disrupted his concentration.
“Back off. I can’t think with you hanging over me.” Sasuke pulled Naruto away from Shikamaru who made his move and then turned to look at his two visitors. “What do you want?”
“We’ve been given a mission and we need you to join us.” Shikamaru sighed and looked at his playing partner with remorse.
“Sorry, but it looks like we’ll have to finish this later when I get back.” After saying his excuses, Shikamaru followed silently behind Sasuke and Naruto. He was still amazed that Naruto hadn’t a clue that Sasuke cared for him as more than a friend. It was so obvious to everyone, but then Naruto never did see the obvious. “Who else are we going to gather for this mission, and also when are you going to tell me what the mission is?”
“When we get the other two members.” Sasuke glanced over his shoulder and smiled a little. Everything was finally beginning to feel like normal now, and he was being accepted again by all his old classmates. Life was starting to become happy once again. “I thought we’d ask Lee and Kiba for help. A strong fighter and an excellent tracker -- since there are missing people that we’re also looking for.”
“Missing, huh? Hmm ... this doesn’t have anything to do with those disappearances in Midorimori?”
“Yup.” Naruto folded his arms behind his head as he walked along the side road in Konoha. There were small puddles which he occasionally splashed in and got Sasuke wet. Unfortunately, Sasuke wasn’t reacting as he had hoped he would. Naruto wanted to see the old Sasuke pop out and splash him back, but he seemed to be lost in thought at the moment. “Whatchya thinking about, Sasuke?”
“Hmm?” Sasuke glanced over at Naruto who was staring at him with a puzzled expression. “What did you say?” Naruto made a pout and snorted quietly. “Sorry.”
“It’s okay ... I guess.” Sasuke had been spacing out a lot lately, and it was starting to annoy Naruto; however, he was at a loss as to how to stop it. The trio gathered up Lee and Kiba, then set off for the eastern section of the fire country.
~~~~~
“So, Lee, how’s Sakura?” Sasuke questioned, trying to fill the dead weight of silence in the group.
“Oh, she’s doing well, thanks for asking.” Lee could feel the overly bright smile stretching across his face. He couldn’t help but show his pleasure in the fact that Sakura had finally come around and had said ‘yes’ to his queries of going out with him. “So, what do you think we should do once we reach our destination, Shikamaru?”
“Hmm ... I was just thinking about that. I think we should split up initially, and wear our radio communicators. If anything happens we should all head back to a central meeting spot.”
“Sounds good.” Sasuke agreed with a smirk. After a muttering of approval the group put on their communicators, and then split from each other. Naruto headed off to the southern area of Midorimori. As the name suggested, the wooded area became thicker and greener with each passing mile. Naruto was traveling along at a decent pace when he heard a noise. He stopped on a thick tree branch and waited for the noise again. It sounded like a cry of a young child. He looked down and couldn’t see much of anything for the thick foliage, so he decided to venture down to the forest floor.
Once on solid ground he gazed around him trying to find the source of the crying. As he was looking, a quick movement caught his eye and he ran in its direction. The closer he came to the rustling leaves, the faster the thing that he was chasing became. After several minutes of chase, Naruto halted abruptly as he had come upon a small hut. The door shut just as he reached it, and with a determined smirk upon his face, Naruto walked up to the door. With a loud creak, the door swung open and Naruto’s world suddenly went black.
~~~~~
Naruto blinked several times before the room came into focus. There were loud noises floating to his ears that sounded like a roaring river. He sat up and realized that he was in a soft bed. The room was large and well furnished, but it was not his apartment in Konoha. In fact, he had never seen the place before in his life. He glanced out the window and saw towering buildings which scraped the skyline. Naruto rolled out of the bed and stood, swaying slightly as his head pounded. He didn’t know why he felt so horrible or where he was exactly.
Slowly, as to not upset his shaky balance, Naruto walked over to the large windows adorning one wall of the room. He gazed out and down. The view that met him was unlike anything he had ever seen in his life. Far down below the room were dozens and dozens of transport vehicles. He pressed his nose and hands against the glass wondering what it was that he was looking at.
“Ah, you’re awake!” Naruto’s heart skipped a beat as he recognized the voice which had just spoken. He turned slowly to see Sasuke standing in the doorway, wearing a silk robe and holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
“Sasuke! Wh-where are we?!”
Sasuke’s face contorted in a puzzled expression. He carefully set down his morning coffee and walked over to Naruto. His eyes glowed warmly at the other man, who was starting to back away from him. “Naruto? What’s wrong?” Naruto’s knees hit the bed and caused him to fall backwards onto it. “Did you change your mind? I thought that you wanted to move in with me ...” Sasuke glared at Naruto, and flopped down onto the bed next to him. Naruto starred at the other man’s back, wondering just what had happened.
“Um ... I don’t know what’s going on -- at all,” Naruto chuckled softly as he sat up. “Look, I think I may have fallen out of bed and hit my head -- um ... yeah, that must have been it.” Sasuke’s movement was so swift and sudden that Naruto had no time to react. Before he knew it, Sasuke’s warm mouth was pressed possessively against his own. Naruto made a panicked squeaking noise as he wiggled away from Sasuke. In his haste to get away from Sasuke’s mouth, he fell over backwards and hit his head on the floor. “Ow!” Naruto rubbed his head and looked up at Sasuke who was peering over the edge of the bed at him.
“Are you okay?”
“No ... no I don’t think I am -- at all.” Naruto wondered where his Sasuke was, and just who this impostor was. Also he would have loved to have known why exactly this Sasuke was so bent on trying to kiss him. It was bad enough the first time, not that Naruto had kissed anyone else since that moment, but this was just too much. Naruto’s eyes widened as he realized that Sasuke’s tongue had been involved in this kiss. “What the fuck is wrong with you!?” Naruto fell backwards on the floor quietly and frantically chanting that it was all just a dream, just a dream.
“There’s nothing wrong with me. I’m starting to wonder what’s wrong with you ... I mean last night --” Was it just Naruto’s imagination, or was that a blush that was spreading across Sasuke’s cheek bones?
“Look, I don’t know what’s going on. I mean, one minute I was on a mission and now this! Where am I?!”
“You’re in Tokyo. The same place you were last night ... it’s the city you’ve lived in for quite some time, Naruto.”
“Huh?” Naruto was so confused, and the bump on his head was throbbing more now than earlier; it was probably due to Sasuke’s odd behavior.
“I’ll go get you some coffee, maybe that’ll wake you up.” Sasuke crawled off the bed and walked out of the room.
“Coffee? I hate coffee ... Sasuke!” Naruto stood and the room began to spin. He carefully lowered himself onto the bed and closed his eyes. Why wasn’t he waking up yet? All he wanted was to be free of this nightmare!
“Here, Naruto ... I forgot you don’t like coffee, so I got you some juice.” Naruto peered up at Sasuke through slitted eyes. He looked exactly like Sasuke. There were no differences at all, the man was an exact replica. Although, his behavior wasn’t quite right. He was definitely too mellow, at least that was Naruto’s conclusion. “I’m worried about you.” Sasuke’s face scrunched in a concerned gaze as he sat beside Naruto, who scooted away from this fake Sasuke. “Last night you couldn’t keep your hands off of me, why are so shy now?” Finally some annoyance, this was like the old Sasuke. Yet, there was something about what he had just said that disturbed Naruto. He thought for a few moments before it hit him, Sasuke had just mentioned that he hadn’t been able to keep his hands off him. Did he mean that they had ... done that?
Naruto sat up quickly and pressed himself up against the cold wall behind the bed. “Um,” Naruto laughed nervously as he prepared himself to ask his question. “Are you saying that we ... well -- slept together?” The last bit was a bare whisper as fear pulsed through his body. He didn’t feel any different and his body didn’t hurt in places it shouldn’t be hurting in, so that meant he had to be dreaming.
“Naruto ... it wasn’t our first time. We’ve been sleeping together since we were first years in high school.” That was it, Naruto’s brain had snapped. He could feel his sanity slowly leaving him as he stared at the other man. “Look, I’ve got to go to class ... you try and get some rest and I’ll see you at five tonight.” Sasuke leaned over and placed a tender kiss upon Naruto’s horrified face. With one last look of concern for Naruto, Sasuke walked over to the small chest opposite the bed and allowed his robe to fall quietly to the floor.
He knew that he shouldn’t have been staring, but Naruto couldn’t pull his eyes away from Sasuke’s bottom. It was firm and full, and he had an overwhelming urge to -- Naruto shook the nasty thought from his head. He couldn’t believe that he had actually wanted to squeeze Sasuke’s butt! He cringed and crawled under the covers, making sure to pull them over his head so he couldn’t see any more of Sasuke’s body. It was then that he realized he was no longer in his usual ninja outfit, but his boxers alone. “What the hell was going on,” was what he wanted to scream, but didn’t. He didn’t much feel like going around in circles anymore with this Sasuke. As soon as he woke up from the nap his body was screaming for, Naruto would find his way back home and get away from this crazy world.
~~~~~
“We could only find the radios.” Shikamaru handed Kiba the two communicators which had been the only trace of Sasuke and Naruto left behind. The rest of the group had immediately responded when they had heard the two scream, but had failed to make it to either one in time. Both Sasuke and Naruto had become victims. It was with heavy hearts that Shikamaru, Lee, and Kiba returned to Konoha to inform Tsunade of what had happened, and to decide what to do next.
[1] Midorimori - midori means green and mori means forest. Sorry for the goofy name, but it was all I could come up with that had an odd sound to it.

He knew that he shouldn’t have been staring, but Naruto couldn’t pull his eyes away from Sasuke’s bottom. It was firm and full, and he had an overwhelming urge to -- Naruto shook the nasty thought from his head. He couldn’t believe that he had actually wanted to squeeze Sasuke’s butt! He cringed and crawled under the covers, making sure to pull them over his head so he couldn’t see any more of Sasuke’s body. It was then that he realized he was no longer in his usual ninja outfit, but his boxers alone. “What the hell was going on,” was what he wanted to scream, but didn’t. He didn’t much feel like going around in circles anymore with this Sasuke. As soon as he woke up from the nap his body was screaming for, Naruto would find his way back home and get away from this crazy world.
“We could only find the radios.” Shikamaru handed Kiba the two communicators which had been the only trace of Sasuke and Naruto left behind. The rest of the group had immediately responded when they had heard the two scream, but had failed to make it to either one in time. Both Sasuke and Naruto had become victims. It was with heavy hearts that Shikamaru, Lee, and Kiba returned to Konoha to inform Tsunade of what had happened, and to decide what to do next.
