Sasu-Naru-Sai
Ownership
Chapter 1
Naruto lay in the sun staring lazily at the clouds, suddenly a drink can hit him square in the face, he jumped up to stare his pink haired teammate in they eyes
"Oi sakura-chan!" he moaned rubbing his nose
"Come on Naruto we have to go meet Sai at the ramen stall" she smiled, the word ramen made the young kyubbi spring to his feet
Sai leant against the stall gazing at the clouds thinking… suddenly his teammates appeared by his side
"Hi guys" he smiled lazily, he gave Naruto a sudden lustful look that made the blond blush deep red
"Hey Sai" smiled sakura
"Sakura I have to need for you to be here now… I just wanted to make sure Naruto got here on time" he said coldly, sakura glared at him but didn't stay long; she stormed off down the street, disappearing into the crowd… Sai stepped closer and smiled at his boyfriend
"She is still clueless" he grinned, Naruto very rarely saw Sai smile, when he did it never failed to make Naruto gaze in awe at his beauty
"Now… are you hungry?" he asked, Naruto nodded eagerly, Sai turned and sat down on one of the stalls, Naruto took the seat next to him
"The usual guys?" said the stall owner, Sai nodded once; his expressionless face had taken over once more…
"we have to see grandma Tsunade later… she has some news for us" said Naruto staring down at the counter… he couldn't help but think about his lost love Sasuke Uchiha… his raven hair… his onyx eyes… Naruto shook his head, his eyes hand began to sting…
"What's wrong" said Sai tilting his head to one side
"I just realised… it's the anniversary… of when Sasuke and I first…." He suddenly looked up "err… met" he lied… it was the anniversary of when he and Sasuke first kissed… the start of their secret relationship… but that was all over now and he had Sai…
"I see… and that is important to you?" he asked… Sai didn't understand many things that upset Naruto, but he tried to be sympathetic
"yes… it is" said Naruto hanging his head once more… the cook slid two bowls of ramen in front of the boys, Naruto ate very slowly, this is when Sai picked up something was wrong
"Naruto… why are you so upset?" he asked swallowing his mouthful
"Nothing" the blond mumbled poking at his food
"You're normally finished by now" said Sai placing a hand on his uke's back
"I just miss my friend Sai… that's all" he said looking into Sai's soulless black eyes
"I see" said Sai moving away swiftly… he didn't know how to act so he didn't try
When the boys had finished they paid and made their way to the hokage's office, she lay sprawled across her desk fast asleep
"grandma!" shouted Naruto making the old woman jump, when I say old woman… she didn't look old, she used her chakra to make herself look more youthful, the woman jumped and scattered papers all around the office
"Naruto!" she shouted throwing the first thing that came to hand, Sai caught it with ease and set it back on the desk, the woman sighed and smoothed down her hair
"Nice to see you two… where's sakura?" suddenly a pink haired girl came jogging into the room and bent over double
"Sorry… lady… Tsunade" she panted, she looked up and tried to smiled but hung her head and continued panting
"I wanted to tell you about the news I have received… Sasuke has been spotted near the city walls… we don't know why… but we are sending you three out to find out" she explained, Naruto's body tensed at the name… why now? Why him? He shook behind the others, not making a sound
"Leave now… I don't think he'll hang around no matter what his business is" she said, Naruto and Sai nodded, they turned and dragged sakura out of the office with them.
Sai watched Naruto carefully as he wiped his eyes, he told sakura to meet them at the gate, she walked off leaving the two of them alone
"What's wrong?" he asked placing his hand on Naruto's cheek
"Nothing" whimpered Naruto leaning into Sai's touch
"Naruto tell me… I can't help unless you tell me" he pressed
"It's just too damn hard…" he began to cry loudly, he leant in and clutched Sai's shirt
"Naruto…" Sai hushed stroking the boy's hair
"Sasuke….and me… we were lovers… before… and it's just too hard… too hard to see him again!" Naruto howled into Sai's chest, Sai didn't know what to do… he had a sudden urge in his body… such an alien feeling… he wrapped his arms around Naruto's small body and began to hush quiet words in Naruto's ear
"It's okay… it's okay Naruto… I'm here for you… I'd never hurt you like that… I'd never leave you" he hushed… Naruto had never had this level of emotion from Sai; he gazed up in his seme's eyes and gasped
"Sai… are you crying?" he asked, Sai raised a hand to his cheek just as a tear rolled down
"I…I think so…" he whispered with a look of fear in his watering eyes, Naruto reached up and kissed the boy softly, their lips brushed against each other when suddenly Sai moved back, he was shaking
"Naruto what is this?" he whimpered brushing his cold skin lightly, Naruto stepped forwards
"this… is what love does to you… when you see the one you love hurt… your body acts in strange ways… but it's okay… it's normal to feel this way if you love me" he smiled, Sai smiled slightly before kissing his uke once more, Naruto pulled away
"Sakura is waiting" he said, Sai looked annoyed again, he sighed and walked off down the hall, Naruto following close behind.
