(a/n) I don't own anything of or related to Naruto or Fall Out Boy. Really wish I did, cuz then Pete and Sasuke would be smexing it up!

Naruto was walking home again. No one would be there, so he didn't make any effort to hurry home, like he would were he going someplace else. His rooms were empty, devoid of any life except him, and an occasional bug or mouse. Man, this really sucks, Naruto thought to himself.
Walking through the streets of Konaha would usually make him happy, but ever since his teammate left, nothing cheered Naruto up. Brushing past the older villagers closing their shops, Naruto received many dirty looks, getting hit a couple of times. This didn't bother Naruto anymore, because he was going to be Hokage, and all these people would respect him. One day… Tsunade- baachan was the Fifth Hokage, but Naruto's day would come. It was a sure bet.
The yellow-haired boy unlocked the door, and walked into the hell hole he called home. Shirts, boxers, ramen cups, and other unknown items littered any flat surface. A pair of boxers even found their way to a lamp shade. Naruto pulled the boxers from their hiding place and threw them in his laundry hamper. I really have to clean this place up.He looked around at the room. On second thought, maybe I'll wait until next time I have a day off, he thought with a nervous chuckle. Naruto shoved himself a place to sit on the couch and plopped down. He sighed to himself. Naruto hadn't done much with himself ever since Shikamaru, Neji, Chouji, Kiba and he had come home from their mission; a mission in which they failed. He had been beating himself up since Sakura had realized he couldn't make good on his promise. He couldn't bring Sasuke home
How cruel is the golden rule? When the lives we live are only golden-plated.
Naruto shook the thoughts out of his head. He can't blame it all on himself. No, it was Sasuke's fault too. It wasn't his fault that the stupid teme wouldn't come home with him.
"Chikuso!" Naruto yelled. The teme was only worried about himself and what he wanted. Couldn't he see how much Sakura needed him, how much He needed him? No, Sasuke didn't care about his teammates, or how they felt about him.
"You stupid teme! Why would you do that to Sakura? Why!?" Naruto was violently shaking. He had stood up, only to fall on the ground.
"Why would you do that to me!?" Tears were now flowing freely from the blue eyes. They were clouded with pain and anguish.
"Why?" He finally whispered.
And I knew that the lights in the city were too heavy for me.
When Kakashi looked down at the sleeping boy, all he could see was Naruto's tear-streaked face. It hurt him to think about Sasuke leaving their team. They might not have been extremely tight knit, but they got along alright. He sighed, and bent down to pick up the boy. He placed him in his own bed, and left without a word.
