Naruto and Sasuke were the best of friends

all through their high school days

Both members of the 4h club

both active in the FFA

Naruto grinned and jumped on Sasuke from behind. It was finally here, the big day their Graduation from the dreary institution called high school! Sasuke, however didn't look too happy… then again he never really looked happy, but that's Sasuke for you!

Sasuke groaned as Naruto jumped on him from behind, he didn't need him there right now, of all people. Don't get him wrong, Naruto is his best friend, but when one is trying to compose oneself to give the valedictorian speech, you do not need some one jumping on you from behind. He sighed again. It would soon be over.

When Kakashi finally introduced them as the graduating class of 2006, both Sasuke and Naruto threw their hats along with all the others, their new lives were about to begin!

After graduation Naruto went out looking

For a bright new world

Sasuke looked all around this town

and all he found was Orochimaru

Naruto waved brightly as he boarded his plane, Sasuke gave a half hearted wave back, they were supposed to face this world together as friend after they graduated, but a last minute trip offered by Naruto's adopted father, Iruka, destroyed those plans for good.

A couple months later, Sasuke looked in shock at his boyfriend of four months as he knelt down and proposed. Sasuke looked at him, he saw Naruto in his mind, but pushed that thought away. He smiled gently at Orochimaru and nodded gently to him.

Well it wasn't two weeks

After he got married that

Sasuke started getting abused,

He put on dark glasses and long sleeved tee-shirts

And make up to cover a bruise

Sasuke grimaced as he looked in the mirror, a large bruise covered the left side of his face. He dabbed the cover up he had bought (and gotten a strange look from the saleswoman for)on the purple thing on the side of his face.

He looked at himself in the mirror and decided that enough was enough, time to go to the police.

Well he finally got the nerve to file for divorce

He let the law take it from there

But the snake walked right through that restraining order

And put him in intensive care

Sasuke heard beeping when he woke up, it was extremely irritating but when he tried to move to make the beeping stop, a sharp pain shot through his entire body. He heard people talking about him and pitied the fact that no one was there to help him out in his condition. He croaked out Naruto's name, and then collapsed with the effort, he hoped they got the message and as he fell asleep, he saw Naruto in his mind's eye, smiling at him with the intensity of the sun.

Right away Naruto flew in from Atlanta

On a Red eye midnight flight

Naruto answered the phone that was incessantly ringing at 11:30 at night, when normal people were asleep. He shot up straight in bed when he heard what it was about, he said thank you to the person on the other end of the phone, and with out waiting for the answer he hung up and packed a few things in his suitcase and bolted for the airport.

A few hours later, Naruto was hailing a cab and was on his way to the hospital.

He held Sasuke's hand

As they worked out a plan

And it didn't take them long to decide

The snake had to die.

Naruto looked at the heavily bandaged Sasuke and wondered if it was even him under all of those wraps. He gently took one of the bandaged hands and promised himself that whoever had done this would pay for it…with his life.

It took a few months before Sasuke could even walk, but with Naruto there, it passed quickly for him. Then when Naruto told him that he was going to kill Orochimaru, no matter what Sasuke said or did, they worked out a plan together, and then when Sasuke went home for the first time, they carried said plan out.

Good bye Snake ,

Those black-eyed peas

They tasted all right to me snake

You're feeling weak,

why don't you lie down

and sleep Snake

Ain't it dark

Wrapped up in that tarp Snake?

The two friends wrapped ex-husband of Sasuke's in the tarp and buried him in the garden for the time being eventually, they would dispose of the body in a more permanent way, but for now, it would do.

The cops came by t bring the Snake in

They searched the house high and low

Then they tipped their hats

And said thank you sirs,

If you hear from him let us know.

Well the weeks went by and

Spring turned to summer

And summer faded into fall

And it turns out he was a missing person

Who nobody missed at all

Sasuke snuggled closer to his new husband and sighed with contentment, this was all he ever wanted and more. Naruto yawned and stretched. He murmured a good morning before getting out of bed to go fix a pot of coffee. A year ago, all Sasuke could look forward to were severe beatings from his abusive spouse, but now? He was the happiest guy on earth, turns out murder does solve a few things.

So the boys bought some land

and a roadside stand

out on highway 109

They sell Tennessee ham

And strawberry jam

and they don't

lose any sleep at night cause

The snake had to die

Goodbye snake

We need a break

Lets go out to the lake snake

We'll pack a lunch
And stuff you in the trunk snake

well is that all right?

Let's go for a ride

Snake HEY!

Well there you go, my first try at incorporating a song into a story, it is the product of a eight hour shift at Tim Hortons (coffee shop for all you non-Canadians) and having a computer in your room when you can't sleep. Lol, hope you like it - PG
