Ok, this fanfic is KakaSasu, and it's my twisted take on what happens when Sasuke returns from the Sound Village. In this fanfic, after Sasuke defeats orochimaru there will be no Team Snake.

Disclaimer: I do not Naruto…if I did I would have Sasuke be the main character .

Alright I'll shut up now, enjoy

CHAPTER 1: THE RETURN

Sasuke stirred back from his sleep as he heard footsteps coming closer, lazily he turned to face the edge of the bed as the footsteps stopped. He opened one onyx eye sleepily, trying to get accostumed to the light of the morning. Slowly his blurry vision started to become clearer as he stared at the face of the love of his life: Hatake Kakashi.

"Good Morning!" said Kakashi cheerfully, he was dressed in full Jounin attire, his mask was pulled over the nose and mouth that Sasuke had grown to love; his sharingan eye was now covered by his headband.

"What's so good about it?" asked Sasuke glaring at Kakashi for being so cheerful this early in the morning.

The raven boy was never in a good mood in the morning, it was better to not talk to him for two hours after waking up; however, Kakashi liked to annoy the younger boy because he thought Sasuke to be the cutest thing alive when he would get that frown on his face.

Kakashi sat on the bed next to Sasuke and brushed the soft hair out of the boy's face.

"Well I can think of a couple of things that make this a good morning" he said staring straight into Sasuke's eyes making the boy blush and turn his eyes towards the ceiling fan.

"Kakashi smiled once more, glad of Sasuke's reaction for he knew it was not very often that he would show emotion.

"Are you leaving soon?" asked Sasuke and Kakashi could hear a little disappointment in his voice.

"Yes, I'm late already," he said and then as an afterthought he added "…as usual."

He made an effort to get up but a hand grabbed a hold of his Jounin vest, he turned to look at Sasuke questioningly.

"Don't go," he said trying not to show vulnerability.

"Sorry but I have to-"

"It seems like you spend more time with them than you do with me" and there was a note of jealousy in that statement.

Them were the students of the new Team 7. Now that Naruto, Sakura and Sai had surpassed Kakashi there was no need in him being their Sensei anymore.

"I promise I'll be here early, we got the meeting to go to remember?"

"Hn." was all Sasuke said as his stomach began to twist.

Not a meeting, more like a trial: A trial to choose whether or not he would be punished for leaving Konoha and joining Orochimaru. After he had defeated Orochimaru, Sasuke started to see the error of his ways and was disgusted by the fact that he had acted as a younger Orochimaru, he realized that he didn't stop his quest for power he would turn into Orochimaru…or even worse into Itachi. When he met up with Team 7 the second time that year he was moved by how much all of them wanted him to go back to them, even Sai who Sasuke knew was only doing it for Naruto. In the end their words helped him understand that friendship was worth fighting for and he decided to return to Konoha. Although he didn't show it on the outside he had become very close to Sakura and Naruto, but it was Kakashi who he had grown closest to since he had been staying in his house after returning from Sound. Their relationship had shifted from former Student/Teacher to friends to now lovers.

As much as Sasuke would like to think that this was a happily ever after, he knew that it was just a beginning of complications to come. The trial was signaling that beginning. Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi, Iruka and some of the Rookie 9 were on his side but the rest of Konoha only thought of him as a traitor and would not forgive him for turning his back on the village. Tsunade still had her doubts about him, making his future hazy and uncertain; the feeling that he might be locked up for the rest of his life, not being able to see his friends or kakashi ever again made him nervous. He did not know yet if he would be able to go by his own free will into the jail or break out and become a missing-nin again.

Kakashi noted the worried look on Sasuke's face and kissed him softly on the lips, Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts to look at Kakashi.

"You'll be fine" he said squeezing the teen's hand "Sakura, Naruto and I will be by your side no matter what comes."

"I know" Sasuke said softly, the corners of his mouth raising slightly.

Kakashi kissed the teen a second time and got up from the bed, Sasuke watched the older man walk to the door and open it.

"I love you" he said softly turning back to Sasuke.

"Hn" the raven boy replied.

Kakashi grinned under his mask to himself as he left the apartment.

Sasuke rose slowly from the bed, going towards the bathroom. He thanked Kakashi inside for keeping him so clam and trying to die down his nerves. He turned the water on and, after taking his black boxers, stepped into the shower. He let the cold water run through him as he looked back over the last month.

He was under arrest, literally speaking, for he couldn't go anywhere without Kakashi at his side but he knew that Tsunade thought that if he really wanted to go a jail or a order would not stop him. She thought that it would be better for him to stay with the one person that in the past had been able to push some sense into him, Kakashi. Sasuke had complied hesitantly on the outside although his inner self was trying to smile at the thought of sharing a house with Kakashi. It had taken only two and a half weeks for both of them to show their feelings towards one another. Sasuke remembered how he boldly pulled his former Sensei's mask down and found a perfect pair of lips. He had stared at Kakashi's mouth for a few minutes, taking in how beautiful the older man was and wondering why he would hide his good looks under a mask when Kakashi had suddenly leaned over and crashed his full lips against Sasuke's. That kiss had said everything without words, how lonely Sasuke had felt and how much he needed Kakashi.

The raven boy gave a sigh as he turned the water off and dried himself. He walked over to the bathroom mirror and wiped the steam that had clouded the mirror. A 16 year-old boy stared back, his eye sand hair as dark as ever. He could start to see lines along his eyes that told of how stressed he had been the last year, he hated not knowing his future.

Sasuke changed into his usual attire of Navy blue shirt and khaki shorts and just sat in Kakashi's bed, staring out of the window; he did this all day…too many thoughts in his head to let one linger not longer than a second in his unconscious. Finally he felt a present behind him and couldn't help but to smirk a bit.

"You're early," he said simply.

Kakashi smiled, hoping that Sasuke would notice how much he meant to him, after all Kakashi was never early…expect today that is.

"Are you ready?" Kakashi asked, a serious tone in his voice.

"Hn" said Sasuke and they both walked towards the door, exiting the apartment. This was it, no more uncertainty…he would finally know what would become of him.

Wow that took a long time to write, my hands hurt now so I'm going to go and eat some ramen, I love ramen, Anywho I'll try to update as soon as I can but it would help to see reviews I guess (hint).
