SasuNaru Two- Shot ~ let me save you

Chapter 1- First Impression of Uzamaki Naruto

Sasuke's Pov.

The day I fear most through out the whole year, every year, isn't because of stupid superstitions like Halloween and Friday the thirteenth, but my own birthday, July twenty-third. My birthday has always been something to fear. I've pretty much never had a "Happy Birthday". My third birthday my pet cat got lose, ran into the neighbors yard, and got into a fight with they're large dog. The dog killed it. My fifth birthday I accidently threw my new ball over the fence into the woods behind our house. When I went to go get it I got stuck in a thorny bush. By the time my parents where able to get me out I was covered in cuts, bruises, and blood. My sixth birthday my parents died in a car crash, making my older brother, Itachi, and I orphans. On my fifteenth birthday Itachi, who had been taking care of me at his apartment instead of an orphanage now that he was over the age of eighteen, disappeared never to be seen again. Oh, and not to mention I was murdered on my nineteenth birthday. See that day is something to fear.

It all started a mere three days before my nineteenth birthday. My friend, Neji, wouldn't be able to see me on my birthday (not that I minded like I said my birthday wasn't much of a celebration) so he had decided to take me out for ice cream. Neji waited for our cones as I found us a seat.

As I sat down on a bench under a large oak tree casting shade down on me cheerful laughter sounded from a group of three people sitting in the grass welcoming the warm sun. A boy with sunshine blonde hair, beautiful sky blue eyes, and three curious scars on each of his cheeks was rolling around on the ground smiling and laughing as a small white dog licked his face. I was entranced.

Neji sat down handing me my cone. I gave him a small thanks as I continued to watch the blonde. After a few minutes of stalk- I mean observing him, my ice cream started to melt down the sides of the cone and onto my hands. Quickly I grabbed some of the napkins Neji had brought over annoyed at the sticky feeling it left on my hands. Sighing I began to lick my ice cream. As I did I found myself watching the boy, I don't know why I kept calling him a boy he looked to be the same age as me give or a take a year. He was chattering excitedly with his friends a boy with shaggy brown hair, eyes, and a girl with short blue-ish black hair, and pale eyes, a lot like Neji's, with no pupil. Neji sighed beside me pulling me out of my daze.

"Care to explain why you haven't taken your eyes off that boy since we arrived here?" he asked smirking when my cheeks became dusted red. 'damn, caught in the act'

"Hn." was my ingenious reply. Thankfully he let it drop. After about a minute or two my curiosity got the better of me. "Who is he?" I knew he would know, Neji made it his business to know everything about everyone. He smirked again and then I was sure he'd just been waiting this whole time for me to ask.

Neji cleared his throat before beginning. 'aug, dear god. When I asked who is I meant his name not life story.' I sighed. "His name is Uzamaki Naruto. He was orphaned at birth. His mother died giving birth to him and his dad died in the war on the day he was born. He is considered an outcast. Most people either ignore or hate him except for his small group of friends Inzuka Kiba, Kazekage Gaara, Anbu Sai, and Hyuuga Hinata." he said the last name with obvious distaste.

"Hn." I took all that in. "You have a sister?" I asked still watching the three that Neji had pointed out to be Naruto, Kiba, and Hinata.

He snorted. 'ok guess not.' "Cousins." he said. Oh.

"Any girlfriends?" I frozen in place officially terrified, Neji burst out into hysterics laughing. 'Oh, man do I really wanna know the answer. When if he's some sorta player going from girl to girl or, or…'

Neji controlled himself to answer "The only relationship that ones been in was back in high school when he dated Kazekage Gaara, whom is a man, for a whole three weeks!" then promptly restarted laughing.

I was a bit annoyed with Neji. Who was he to talk the only person he's ever dated was Ten-ten and that lasted a whole month before he went totally ballistic on her, telling her to back the hell off. I'd never even dated anyone. Sighing I decided it best to change the subject. "Why don't people like him? Seems like an ok guy to me, maybe a bit annoying but still." I shrugged trying not to sound to defensive.

"That's the big question. No one knows why. There's just something about him." he said not really answering my question. During the whole conversation my eyes never left him, Naruto. 'That's so stupid. Everyone avoid or dislikes him for no good reason.' it pissed me off to no end. Still despite how happy Naruto looked I could see it, the sadness he felt. I'd made up my mind then. I liked Naruto that much was obvious. I'd planned to go talk to him when all of a sudden he got up and walked away waving to his friends. 'Damn, I missed my chance.' the girl who was with him Hyuuga Hinata, looked my way and frowned as she walked over. "Hello Hinata." Neji said frowning also as he bowed respectfully to her, though it looked like it literally pained him to do so.

Hinata stuttered as she too bowed "H-Hello Neji."

"Hinata, this is my friend Uchiha Sasuke." he said impassively.

"H-Hello, Uchiha-san." she said bowing to me.

"Sasuke's fine. Um, your friends with Naruto, right?" she nodded and flinched as if preparing to be scolded or hit. "You should introduce me sometime." she looked at me bewildered obviously confused. 'Could she really have expected me to yell at her?'

"R-Really?" I nodded blushing a bit, just a bit, and she smiled at me brightly. "He's a really great person. I-I'm sure you'll like him" I half smiled half smirked.

"I think so too." Hinata and I talked about Naruto for a good while longer and Neji just stood there probably wondering what happened to the stoic bastard he was friends with. It was amazing how Hinata changed from stuttering in every sentence and wincing to being confident and happy when the subject changed from herself to Naruto. 'Maybe she likes him.' I though back remembering how every time he had looked over to her while watching Naruto she'd had a light permanent blush on her cheeks. The idea made my stomach do flips and gave me a headache. 'Best to stay away from that train of thought.' it bugged me that it bugged me when I haven't even met him!

The more I heard about Naruto the more I liked him, the more I wanted to meet him. "Ok so I'll introduce you to Naruto and Kiba on… July twenty-third?" I stiffened.

"No. I can't. That's my birthday." I deadpanned.

"Really, that's great I'm sure Naruto and Kiba would want to go do something to celebrate with you, Sasuke-kun! It'd be a lot of fun." she said getting excited.

"No, Hinata! Sasuke's birthday is also the anniversary of his parents death and his brother's disappearance! He does not want to celebrate on that day. Be considerate! He told you no already."

Hinata looked first shocked, then ready to cry, and I'm sure I didn't look too good either. "S-Sasuke, I-I'm so sorry. I-I didn't know." she looked down at her feet obviously ashamed. I sighed.

"It's fine, you didn't know. How about the twenty-fourth?" I said trying to stop her from emotionally beating herself up. She tried to smile.

"Ok, sounds good. I'll call Naruto and Kiba later and tell them."

"Hinata, it's getting dark we should go or else your father will be angry." Neji warned. She flinched probably imagining her dad mad.

"Ok, let's go, G-Goodbye Sasuke-kun. See you the twenty-fourth!"

"See ya later, Sasuke." Neji said walking to catch up with Hinata.

"Bye." I say a bit irritable.
