Chapter Four “ Spirit Dreams Inside “

One cold night, Naruto fell into a nice and sweet dream with his late fiancé Okami. He saw him standing near the lake so he immediately called out his name.

“ Okami-koi! “ Okami turned his head towards his sweet little lover and smiled but with a little worry over his face.

“ Naru-chan, why are there tears in your eyes? “ Naruto embraced him tightly and looked Okami eyes to eyes.

“ `Coz I miss you so much… please, Okami take me with you… I want to be beside you forever! “, Naruto begged while he was crying in front of his lover. Okami just smiled at him and stroke his hands on Naru's golden hair while saying, “ I can't do that… “.

“ Why not? You don't love me anymore? “

“ Not that what I mean… I love you so much so I'm doing this because I want you to be happy… “

“ I couldn't be happy if you're not with me ”, Naruto sadly insisted.

“ You're still stubborn “, Okami chuckled. “ It's a selfish love if I do that… knowing that many people still need you… Remember what I'd told you before I die? “ Naruto nodded.

“ You promised me, right? Keep it… I'm here to let you know that I'm fine and happy in this place so, I feel better if I'll see you move on and love once again… “, Okami smilingly explained.

“ But I can't do that… you're the only one I want! “, Naruto stubbornly out-spoken.

“ Naru-chan, listen… if you really love me … you let me stay here and you move on at the same time without me… I know you're strong and it's not easy to forget what we had but if someone will come and offer his love to you… Give him a chance and remember you don't need to force yourself… everything takes time… ”, Okami uttered and he placed his paled hands on his beloved blonde 's face.

“ I don't know if I can do it… “, Naruto sobbed.

“ Show me the real you and always think of me that if you're happy I feel the same way but, if you're sad… I'm lonelier than you because I know it's my entire fault. You'll not let me to blame myself, right? ” Naruto nodded again.

“ Then promise me you'll smile again and start a new life… Do this as a favor for me… “, He requested and finally, he lifted Naruto's face and gently kissed him on his cheeks. Then, Okami wiped the tears on his Naru-chan `s eyes.

“ I promised! “, the blonde-haired Hokage replied with a little smile.

“ Open your heart once again and I do believe he can help you to heal your pain again and love you more than I did… I'll never forget you… Naru-chan! “, The black-haired dansei reminded as he released his embrace to Naruto.

“ Thanks for visiting me Okami-koi… I'll try to do what you asked to me… I know you're always watching me I love so much … I'll never ever forget you”, Naruto smiled with tears in his eyes. Okami knew that was tears of joy and for him, he could continue his way to peace without worrying for his little love.

“ I can rest in peace now `coz I know Sasuke will never hurt him… he can fill the parts lacking for my Naru-chan”, Okami thought as he was little by little vanished on Naruto's sight.

That time also, Okami visited Sasuke on his dream talking some important things about Naruto.

“ You are— ”, Sasuke said to a person in front of him.

“ You're Uchiha Sasuke, right? I'm Honoo Okami “, Okami introduced.

“ So, it's you… Naruto's late fiancé… Why are you here in my dream? “, Sasuke confusingly asked which deep in side he felt bad of seeing his rival for his Naru-chan.

“ I'm here to let you know that I'm giving back Naruto to you and please, take good care of him “

“ You don't need to say that to me `coz no matter what happens I'll make him fall in love to me once again and… and I'll never hurt him and make him cry… I'll surpass what you'd done to Naruto and I'll prove that I'm the only one who's right man for him “, Sasuke harshly responded.

Okami smiled and seriously replied, “ Better… you've said it and just do it… I'm looking forward that you can help Naru-chan to heal his pain and fill all the lacking in his being. Promise me that, Uchiha Sasuke… “.

“ Promise! Anyway, arigato Okami-san “, Sasuke uttered with a blush in his cheeks.

“ For? “

“ For keeping Naruto safe and happy while I'm not in his side… Yea, I feel tad irritated at you `coz you made him fall for you and forget what we had … “

“ No, it's not that, Sasuke-san “

“ What do you mean? “

“ His heart really belongs to you and I'm never wrong on it. I know, I didn't surpass what you did to him and I accept the fact that you're the right person for him… I'm glad that he loved me for what I am not as the same image like yours… Destiny always made its way for the two of you to be together once more “, Okami smilingly explained.

“ Okami-san… “

“ Unluckily, we've not given a chance to test who among us are strong and the right man for Naru-chan but as what I've said a while ago…we're not really meant for each other `coz you and Naru-chan are the right couple and I'm glad to accept it so, Sasuke-san do the best to protect and make Naruto happy… I'll leave the rest to you…it's time for me to go… “, Okami said and faced back on the raven-haired dansei.

“ Arigato… “, Sasuke murmured with a smile.

“ I'll pray that you may rest in peace Okami-san… don't worry about Naruto… I'll do my best to cheer him up… “, Sasuke said and Okami just waved him a hand continuing to walk away never looking back.

Naruto woke up because of the sunlight striking on the window. He was surprise that Kakashi-sensei was looking at him upside down. Why not? Naruto fell… his head on floor while his legs on bed.

“ I don't know you can sleep well in that position. “, Kakashi-sensei smirked.

“ Shut up, you freak! Who told you to watch me sleeping?! “, Naruto yelled while he's flushed in embarrassment.

“ Oh! You're in the hospital so you need someone to watch over you … don't forget you're the Hokage… Anyway, you never change! You're still immodest in sleeping “, Kakashi-sensei said couldn't help himself not to laugh.

“ Stop laughing at me! Why not help me to get up sensei? “, Naruto asked and annoyed at his former teacher.

“ All right! You don't need to be so rowdy at me… “, Kakashi-sensei smilingly helped Naruto to get up in that weird but funny position.

“ Are you okay now? “ Naruto grinned and said, “ I feel really better and Okami helped me… I'm ready for work now… “

“ Welcome back, Master Hokage! “, Kakashi greeted as he held out some new dry clothes for Naruto to wear so he could change and took breakfast before going to mansion.

News quickly spread on entire village that the Hokage finally came out the hospital and will going to work again in the mansion. Everyone was surprise and thankful that their Rokudaime was finally recovered completely. That time, before Naruto came inside the mansion, Tsunade-sama hired Uchiha Sasuke as Naruto's new jounin assistant inside the Hokage 's office. Naruto was now at last inside his office with many documents laid in his office desk so he immediately worked it seriously. As the Rokudaime was busy writing important documents a knocked on his office door was heard.

“ Come in… “, He just said never looking to the people who entered inside.

“ Konnichiwa Hokage-sama, I've found someone who'll help you here “, Sakura said happily.

“Who's it, Sakura-chan? “, He asked still his eyes on the paper works.

“ Why not stop that for a moment and see who's with me? “, Sakura pouted on Naruto for not paying attention on her.

“ Yoshi! “, Naruto said and sighed as he lifted his head to see who was with Sakura until he unintentionally voiced-out, “ You? “. Naruto was really surprise to see Uchiha Sasuke standing next to Sakura-chan.

“ He was hired as your personal jounin assistant here, Hokage-sama! “, Sakura explained.

“What the—are you the only one who decide it Sakura-chan? “, Naruto annoyingly asked.

“ Liè, Tsunade-sama and Shizune-senpai were the ones who decided this matter “, Sakura replied with tension within her. Sasuke just glared at Naruto and the blonde Hokage did the same.

“ Yoshi! I have no choice Uchiha Sasuke you can start now… Sakura-chan, you can leave us… Thank you “, Naruto just uttered and continued his work.

“ Ganbatte Sasuke-kun! “, Sakura-chan murmured as she went out on the door. As the two of them were alone inside the office silence was between them. Sasuke just silently glanced on the Rokudaime who was so busy in his paper works.

“ Those blue-eyes of his… I really missed how we shared our glances way back then… I wonder what kind of work; he'll give to me “, Sasuke thought.

“ Hey, are you going to stand there all day? “, Naruto asked a little bit harsh.

“ Gomen nasai but I don't know what to do Hokage-sama”, Sasuke reasoned out coolly and in his mind, “ Gee, he's a bit strict… he definitely acts as Hokage huh… “.

“ Hay… yea, right! Arrange those documents on my left and after that bring me here some cold drink I'm thirsty… Get to work! “, Naruto seriously commanded and again, got back to his work. Sasuke just sighed deeply and followed him immediately.

As days passed, Naruto finally accepted Sasuke as his assistant jounin and treated him good never letting himself to have revenge for what the Uchiha had done to him through this work. Deep within himself, he still cares for Sasuke… maybe there's a part in his being that couldn't easily forget their relationship as brothers and best friends but… as lovers? He doesn't know… he needed much time and space to think about it before he'll manage to try again with Sasuke. For now, they were making up those broken bonds they had and both of them really striving hard to bring back those relationship severed long time ago.

One day, Sasuke entered the office and caught the Rokudaime Hokage silently looking at a picture frame with a little smile on his face. Sasuke silently laid down the cup of tea he held and took a look in the picture also.

“ Is that your remembrance picture as you became our Hokage? “, Sasuke asked. Naruto surprisingly glanced at Sasuke then replied, “ Yes… “.

“ Who's that guy with you? “, the raven-haired jounin asked again.

“ He's Honoo Okami… my former jounin assistant and my fiancé “, Naruto bitterly responded but he ignored to feel frustrated `coz he's more interested on watching Uchiha 's impression… there was no sign of jealousy …only curiosity.

“ If you don't mind, I just wanna know how you meet him “, While being asked, Sasuke looked at Naruto… eyes to eyes making the blonde blushed a little and quickly removed his sight from staring the jounin.

“ He's the one who saved me from a crazy medic in a mission near Taki gakure… “, He answered and started to tell those incidents where he met Okami.
