Hello my friends. Kaiku here with a newly re-written, Something So Sad It Hurts, Fan Fiction for you all to enjoy. So many people loved this before and I just hope that I am doing the right thing by doing corrections, adding in detail, and giving the plot a new spice. I have come a long way since I first wrote this and now I would even include lemons. Yay for that. I haven't written many but I can do it that's all that matters. Well get to reading. See you at the end of the chapter.


Chapter One: Belief

"I don't want to believe, I want to know."

(Naruto POV)

I was running…I couldn't figure out why but I remember it was about noon when it started.

I was sitting around the bridge with Sakura-Chan and that bastard Sasuke; one of the biggest dick's in Konoha, rivaled only by possibly Kiba. He always presents himself as some kind of self-proclaimed God, and his attitude really pisses me off.

Well anyway, back to the story, it was a normal day and we all showed up on time, well, I kind of showed up a bit late but not like Kakashi-sensei would know. That guy is never on time. So, Sakura-Chan was blabbing away at Sasuke who was ignoring her by staring at something in the water. I wanted her attention just to make Sasuke mad, but I doubt that it would have worked.

I glared at Sasuke from afar for a while longer getting a look back from him. His look was a cross between annoyed and angry if I had to name it. I continued my glare for a long time until I felt this weird breeze from behind me. I slowly turned to look at Kakashi-sensei who I have to say scared the living day-lights out of me. He made me jump a few feet and I think my heart skipped a few beats. When I had recovered I glared at him and was about to yell something when Sakura-Chan stepped in.

"Kakashi-sensei!" she yelled." You're late again!" She pointed an accusing finger at the scarecrow. "What kind of lamebrain excuse do you have this time?"

"None," Kakashi said," I am just simply late for my own reasons." His expression was tired and blank as if he had just only rolled out of bed from a rough night with something.

I scowled as Sakura-Chan continued tired of not saying anything I shouted my own words. "You baka!" I barked at him annoyed," Why do are you always late!?"

"Because it gives certain people, like you, more time to get here so we don't all waste time waiting for a team member to show." Kakashi stated simply with a tired yawn.

I guess it made sense, I mean I am sometimes late, screw it, most the time I'm late. One time, I only got there about a minute before Kakashi-sensei did. Lately he's taken a liking in scaring the living shit out of me every time he arrives. I'd complain but he did do this kind of thing to Sakura for a while, so I figured that after he's done with me, which probably won't be until I'm not about to die of fright every time he does it, he'll move on to Sasuke… and knowing what personality Sasuke has, Kakashi-sensei will move onto Sakura again and do it till she stops screaming so damn loud.

"So," Sasuke said," what's the mission today?"

"Today," Kakashi started," Naruto and Sasuke will be with me, rebuilding some houses and Sakura you'll be with Tsunade-sama helping to organize the scrolls."

Did I mention that there was an earthquake recently?

Well you know now, now here's the thing, when it happened it took out about ten homes and knocked every signal scroll off the walls in Tsunade-baba's quarters, and that happens to be a ton of scrolls. So Konoha has been working on putting everything back together. At the rate we're going though…I don't think we're going to be done soon.

On top of that one of the houses the quake took out happened to be Sasuke's, so Kakashi-sensei being the prick he is, asked me if Sasuke could stay with me until his house was rebuilt. Before I could respond he just ruffled my hair like I was a little kid, wait, never mind that but yeah, so he did that then said,

"That's great of you to do this for Sasuke." Then fifteen minutes later Sasuke's standing at my apartment door taking in all the glory of my home.

Yeah right!

He looked ready to pass out! It was so awesome!

I mean he looked around at my collecting ramen and other things on the floor, and man I almost swore he was about to turn tail and leave, but then Sakura showed up, she was all," Sasuke if you don't want to stay in this pigsty then you can stay at my house!"

Sasuke looked around my apartment then to her, I guessed form the look on his face he was weighing his chances. He then just put his very small bag of stuff on the only clean part of the living room floor, that happen to be located around the books, and said," I'm fine here, now leave."

She got all pouty and said something under her breath then left. I looked at Sasuke like he was nuts then he called me a dobe like always we went into a small verbal fight then I went to bed in my room and told him to sleep on the couch like the loser he was.

So now we were at some weird construction site, I almost laughed when I saw that Neji, Lee, Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji, and the other males from the many more teams were there as well.

It seems that every female member was sent to help Tsunade-baba rearrange the scrolls and the males were to fix everything. That's pretty stereotypical to me if you want to know.

Anyway being the lazy somewhat bum like person when it comes to things not ninja, I run off to hide so I didn't need to do any work. It didn't last long though; when I was trying to sneak off I saw a picture sticking up out of the rubble. Well, curiosity got the best of me so I looked at it. I gasped a bit as I looked at the photo, it was Sasuke with Itachi. So this was where Sasuke's house was.

I started to poke around, I found about three boxes of pictures, a dresser full of clothes, and a book that was marked "Journal." I snorted, Sasuke, the great Uchiha Sasuke kept a journal? Ha! This was too good to be true! So I did what any other ninja like myself would do and I opened it.

Sadly it was back when we was like eight when he'd last written in it. So I closed it saddened by the fact I could not pull up any blackmail, and kept pulling stuff out of the debris. Hey, Kakashi-sensei never said where we had to work or what kind of work we had to do. For all I knew I could climb a tree and consider sleep, work. I smirked a bit, then I scowled, why was I digging up Sasuke's stuff for him?

I really didn't know… and speaking of Sasuke I would have thought he'd be looking for his crap too. After a little more thought about why I was doing this I got this weird feeling that someone was watching me. I looked back but no one was there. I then turned and kept pulling stuff out. All I was getting by this point and time were Sasuke's clothes. I was guessing he didn't have all those many personal possessions. Not that I would care, but it kind of bugged me that he didn't. I mean I have personal stuff and I'm the most hated person in Konoha-Gakure.

The whole damn leaf village hates me because of some stupid fox, named Kyuubi. Why did the Fourth Hokage choose to put that damn kitsune in my body? Why not like…Sasuke? Never mind, I'm getting way off track! So back to operation "Pick up Sasuke's crap" I think he'll be either one: mad that I went and got it or two: a little grateful then bite my head off about it. You can never make that guy happy, I swear!

I had been working on pulling stuff out and moving things around and before I realized it the sun was setting. I wiped some sweat from my forehead as I looked at the fire dancing the tips of the mountains and took a deep breath before I pulled myself up to get Sasuke so he could get the crap I dug up for him. I'd probably get stuck helping him carry it home too.

NO! I don't want to help him! I already pulled it out! I don't want to help him. At least, I think I don't… for a few days I'd been feeling a bit weird around that raven-haired prick, like I, NO, NO, NO! I do not like Sasuke!

Wait...

If I think I like Sasuke then say that I don't then that means that I'm trying to deny it so then I do! 'Oh my god! I need help…I'm turning homo!'

I started to mess my hair with my hands when the most annoying voice reached my ears," Sasuke! Are you sure you want to stay with that pig Naruto!?" Ino was squealing. God…I just want to rip her damn head off some times! She annoys me to no damn end.

"For the last damn time yes! I'd rather stay in a pig pin then with you or Sakura now get the hell away from me!" Sasuke growled. I could have sworn he was going to kill Ino," He's much better then you squealing pinheads!"

I snorted, when did Sasuke start talking like that? He wanted to stay with me? I have no idea what's going on, but Sakura was coming and if I knew Sasuke any better then I know him he really would kill someone," Ne, Sasuke!" I got his attention with an added glare that was not really at me but I was calling for his attention so I let it slide. "I found your crap come on and get it so we can head back."

"Fine." He looked a little relived. I smiled a bit but not enough for anyone to see but I think Sasuke did. He didn't say anything he just stared then asked," Well, where is it dobe, we don't have all night."

I puffed up my cheeks and leered," Stop calling me dobe, baka teme!" I yelled, he smirked and I pointed at the pile of clothes and other stuff," There's your crap! Have fun carrying it because I'm not helping your ungrateful ass." I glared knives at him before I turned and just ran.

Now were looking at me now, running for no reason, running without smart caution, just, running. I wish I knew what I running from but I didn't. I blamed Sasuke for it but I don't understand what I was blaming. It was like, I knew who I was mad at but I couldn't grasp why.

It was dark now and I didn't know where I was exactly. I knew I was in the forest but I didn't know where. The forests around Konoha go on for miles and anyone could easily get lost. I really was wondering if I would find my way back or not. I stopped running and leaned on a tree gasping for air. I pushed as hard as I could and wore myself out running. I slowly leaned my back on the tree fully before I slid down the bark and rested there until I regained my breath.

I looked around me for a minute still berating with my mouth open then sighed, I was lost; I didn't know where I was, and I was hungry. I want my ramen, my house to myself, and to be Hokage, but we'll see how I get out of this place first.

Okay! My first plan of action is to take a nice long rest then get up and find my way home. After sitting around for a little while I began to grind over in my mind how I was going to get home and as I thought about it the grimmer things looked.

'Damn it all,' I yelled in my mind,' this just sucks! Why was I running from Sasuke like that?' I really didn't know, like I said I don't understand me right now, and if I did I'd probably kick myself because I'd notice that I was running for no reason. Wait does that mean I should kick myself because that's what it seems I was running from. This is too much thinking for me. I should just give up and wait for someone to find me.

"Naruto?" someone said causing me to laugh inwardly before my eyes went wide. I jumped back totally caught of guard; therefore, I fell on my ass away form the tree. When I looked up I met onyx eyes," Sasuke you bastard!"

"What are you doing, dobe?" Sasuke asked me leaning on the tree I had been leaning on.

"I—" I stopped, I didn't know what I was doing I wanted to yell at him and call him an asshole for calling me "dead-last" but I was stunned it found me.

"Baka." Sasuke said after a few seconds of silence," I only came here because Kakashi-sensei told me to bring you back. No other reason, so don't think I care."

For some reason or another, it hurt that he'd said that to me, and he wasn't trying to make it dubbed down a bit, it was full on. Point blank you could say," Shut up asshole!! I'm sick of you calling me dobe, and a baka! Stop it already!"

Sasuke smirked," Why should I?"

I glared," Because…because…" I stopped; I didn't want to say why. The reason why was because it hurt but I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of knowing that it did," Because it's annoying as hell! Come up with something more original!"

"Shut up…" Sasuke said," You talk to much, let's just go home… reject." He smirked making up a new nickname for me.

"GAAHH!" I screamed," That's not what I meant!" I turned to glare at him with my chest puffed up. "Stop calling me names!"

"Why?" Sasuke asked with a raised eyebrow.

I stared at Sasuke for a moment trying not to show that he was making me feel like shit. I shook my head and turned to walk away, most likely in the wrong direction, but the tree that Sasuke was leaning on had a nasty little root sticking up out of the ground. I felt myself falling toward the ground before a skinny yet strong arm wrap around my waist.

It was Sasuke. Damn him and his heroics, well, wanna-be heroics. I could have laughed as he falls over on me. On me…Damn it. I'm not his pillow. I squeezed my eyes shut as I thought I was going to hit the ground but instead I hit something soft. Sasuke.

I really hate this guy right now. He is the reason I ran off, he found me and made me feel like crap, and now he's trying to protect me from getting hurt. This happened before with Haku. Damn him and damn his whole, "I'll save you from your own stupidity Naruto."

"You okay?" Sasuke asked me as he sat up a little still holding onto me.

"I'm fine let me go teme." I said as I looked up at him. One of his eyes was squeezed shut in pain. He probably hit a rock or something hard on the ground.

"What if I don't want to?" Sasuke said clutching me tighter.

"I'm not some girl; now let me go you prick!!" I shouted loudly only to have him hug me tighter.

"If you did your sexy jutsu you would be." Sasuke said with a light laughter.

"Fuck you!" I shouted loudly pushing off of him then standing up. "Go and eat shit!" I was now pissed.

"I was joking dobe." Sasuke said standing up and dusting his pants off. "Let's head home."

I was already walking away, suddenly knowing where I was going, doubtlessly out of anger, before I stopped and looked back at him. For some reason I felt a small tremor in my heart. That phrase really meant something to me. It meant to me that I was not going home by myself, I was going home with someone that I knew. Yes, I know I call Sasuke a bastard and hate him to high heaven but I also consider him one of my most important friends, maybe even more then that.

I'm glad that I have Sasuke in my life. I never thought that I could ever feel this way but now I have him in my life. Along with everyone else that is helping me out.


Chapter One End
Well that was better then I thought it would turn out. I'm thinking seriously about changing the end of the fiction into something a little more dramatic. It ought to be fun. Stick with me people. I'll get things done. Thanks for reading, catch you later.
