A/N: My first Naruto and Sasuke story. I hope people like it but hoping can really turn on you lol. I made this fic for my friend so I hope she likes it as well. Just to tell you, Sasuke may seem a little out of character from the beginning but I love that bad ass attitude of his so it'll be back in full force lol.

Warning: Yaoi in progress. Well this is a boyXboy fic so if you don't like it than don't' read it. I don't want flamers about it because I already told you. So please save me the grief because I really don't care if you don't like Yaoi. So that's it I guess.

Declaimer: Naruto is so not mine but I was like. How about Sasuke Uchiha. I had that evil look but unfortunately Kishimoto Masashi drew them. BooooHoooo.

When Hoping isn't enough

By: SasukeXNaruto fic

"Damn it these kids." Tsunade looked over the wall with disgust and anger clung to her throat. "Naruto!"

Rolling over and falling on his ass the blond groaned. It was the same every morning, it was like those screeching yells were his alarm clock and all he wanted was for it to stop. Yell after yell, he was starting to get annoyed by his own name and he slowly got up, looking at the clock on the nightstand with a glare.

"Fuck." He muttered, putting on a shirt and jumping into some jeans. He was tired as hell and all he wanted to do was sleep in. It was a Saturday morning after all and no kid in their right mind would be awake at 6 in the morning unless you were Naruto Uzumaki of course but he had no choice as he trudged down the staircase. He dragged his feet through the kitchen, making his way outside just to be met with angered eyes.

"Go get the hose and a bucket of soap." Tsunade spat out.

"I hope you're cleaning it."

"Don't talk back to me! Now get the soap and clean this up. I'm getting sick and tired of these pranksters." As much as Tsunade loved Naruto, she always seemed to show otherwise. All she did was yell at the child but it couldn't be help.

"Fuck, all the time I have to do this stupid stuff." Naruto lazily looked at the red paint on the house. The words 'Akatsuki' was stretched along the house: across the window, right past the door and on top the plants that hung in front of the windows as well. It was the same thing each week. Whether it would be on a Monday or a Friday, it would always come each and every week and guess who has the privilege to clean it up.

It wasn't only his house though, it was all over the neighborhood, they picked a victim regardless whom the house belonged to. It was a pain and the worst part of it was that it was the Akatsuki members who killed his parents. Members of the Akatsuki were unknown and no one really knew who these pranksters or murderers were. They were suspects but it wasn't curtain that they had anything to do with his parent's death but the blond already hated them.

"This is a pain in my ass. Fuck this." The blond scrubbed the walls so hard that his knuckles grew white as a ghost. To add to everything he hated ghost and scary movies also anything that had to do with animals such as foxes. Foxes were his biggest fear and he had scars on his face to prove that those animals were evil.

"One more stupid letter." The morning passed so slowly but he was finally done. Pouring the red water in the sink and throwing the sponge along with it. He took off his shirt, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Are you going out today?" Tsunade asked, sitting at the kitchen table.

"Yeah. I guess." He draped his orange t-shirt around his neck, making his way to the front door. It was a burden to stay in the quiet house with his aunt Tsunade. It seemed like she was angrier now a days ever since her brother died. Jiraiya was a perv, an author of a perv book called 'Make out paradise' and above all that he still was a great brother and an uncle.

"See ya." It was a great day with the clear skies, chirping of birds and the view was excellent once he spotted gorgeous pink hair.

"Sakura! Hey Sakura!" He waved his hands to catch the pink bombshell's attention but she stuck her nose in the air, averting her eyes away from the blond. He let out an irritable sigh, it was the same but he made his way down the street, walking aimlessly. He had a few friends, he was 17 but he still didn't catch that special person's attention.

"Lonely days for me." He said, dragging his fingers along the cement wall. It was quiet, he had nowhere to go but wonder around the town.

"Quite the body you got there." Naruto would have blushed once he heard that, but leaning casually against the wall just a few feet in front of him was a guy. His conspicuous good looks, those jet-black eyes along with his raven-colored hair, he was good looking…scratch that ….he was gorgeous but Naruto wasn't that kind of person. So he ignored the man's comment and walked forward but he didn't get far.

The guy stepped in front of him forcing the blond to take a step back. "Excuse me." Naruto said in a whisper.

"What was that? Can't hear you."

"Can you get out of my way?" His eyes were glued to the floor. Naruto didn't want to look at the guy; he looked like some punk off the streets. With a blue headband, along with a blue shirt and torn white shorts. Naruto didn't want anything to do with this guy.

"Why would I want to do that?" The raven lifted the boy's chin, giving him a small smile.

"Don't touch me you bastard!" Hitting his hand away from him, Naruto pushed pass the punk. The flush look on his face was evident but he shook his head, trying to ignore that butterfly feeling in his stomach. He put on his orange shirt that was draped around his neck and sighed.

"Stupid jerk. Fucking touch me again and I'll-"

"You'll what?" Glancing over his shoulder the blond cringed, covering his mouth to prevent a yelp from escaping his lips. Naruto was trembling at this point, picking up his pace every second he was still being followed. He's going to kill me. He's going to fucking kill me. He didn't know what he did but Naruto was scared out of his mind.

He glanced over his shoulder once again and that's when he started to sprint. The streets were busy but he didn't care. He pushed pass people with his mind running crazy of things that might happen to him if the raven caught up. Turning a corner, shoving pass people and wondering aimlessly though the streets, he found his self at a park full of people.

"This is good." Looking all over the place with wide eyes, he saw no one but kids and their parents. Nice, quiet and a crowded place was all he needed. Naruto trudged along the asphalt, catching his breath until suddenly, out of nowhere something constricted his throat, forcefully pulling him away from the laughing children who played on the jungle gym.

"Got you now." He bucked and thrashed out of the man's grip but the more he tried to set his self free, the more tighter the arm around his neck got. Even if the arm around him cut his oxygen and literally choked him, he didn't care; he just kept on fighting back. Stomping on his foot, digging his nails into the man's arm until in that moment he got a chance to bite down on the man's finger's and he did.

"Damn it. You stupid fucking blond." Frozen in place, his eyes draped with fear. The weapon glimmered in the sunlight catching Naruto's full attention. "That's better." The lack of movement was pleasing. The cold metal on his neck was threatening to draw blood if he didn't stay still so he didn't budge. Not only did he forget to think, he also forgot to breathe.

"What did I do?" Naruto ask, catching his breath.

"Nothing. I just thought you were quite rude when you pushed me back there. So what's your name?"

"It's none of your business."

"You shouldn't be so edgy when a knife is held right up to your neck." His hot breath made Naruto's spine crawl. His mouth was so close it made the blond want to push him away. Though he didn't because of the knife and finally registering that this guy was just too strong for him.

"I-It's Naruto okay."

"Naruto… I heard that name before. You're the kid that goes to Oketsu high right."

He didn't know if he should freak out that he knew what school he went to or whether to get a body guard once he got out of this mess…that is if he got out of this mess.

"You live across from this ugly ass pick haired chick to… right?" Now it was worse. Not only did he knew where he went to school but where he lived as well. This guy was creepier than Shino who spends his lunch recess looking at the movements of bugs. Naruto would have watched bugs all recess rather than be in this life and death situation.

"That's all I wanted to know." The raven pushed the blond and sheathed his knife back into his pocket.

"So what's your name?" Naruto asked.

"Sasuke." He made a mental note of his name. The raven knew where he lived so if Naruto found something missing than the police would come into play and take Sasuke away. So with that, Naruto walked calmly away from Sasuke, trying to not make the impression that he wanted to get out of there as fast as he possible could.

"Where are you goin?"

"Home." He said dryly, making his way to the asphalt that led to his escape.

"I'll see you tomorrow than."

"Tomorrow?"

"Yeah. If you don't come out of your house I'll be making sure that I get in." His threat got to him but with Tsunade around the house he had nothing to worry about. She was a woman but she had a powerful right hook that Naruto was fearful about. She had those eyes that would pierce though you if you got on her bad side.

"Fine by me." That was all he said, running by the time he was at a safe distance. There was no way Sasuke could break through his Tsunade security. There was absolutely no possible way.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

The next day

"WHAT?" Naruto's voice amplified through the whole house, causing his so-called security to cringe.

"What is wrong with you?"

"Wait. You can't. You just-"

"Aren't you old enough Naruto? Damn you are such a pest."

"Come on old hag, you can't." Naruto got to his knees, wrapping his arms tightly around Tsunade's legs. "You just can't! You want me to die?"

"I have to go out for half an hour Naruto so get off" She kicked the blond off of her. It made no sense but she made her way to the front door. "Watch the house while I'm away."

The slamming of the door meant ultimate death. Seconds passed and there was no time to waste at this point. He bolted throughout the house like rapid fire, locking all doors, windows and importantly the front door that he double locked tightly.

He was so scared that he was already shacking profusely. For all he knew, Sasuke could be in that stupid Akatsuki gang. He sure fit the profile with his badass attitude, his hoodlum clothing and his hidden weapons which god knows how much he had in that pocket of his.

"He's not here yet." Looking out the window with cat like eyes, he remained there. For a second it was quiet. So quiet that he could hear himself breathing but than a figure popped in front of him. Screaming like a girl and falling back on his ass, he looked at the window again but saw nothing. It was a ghost or something, maybe some kind of black ghost but he knew what it was. Sasuke was the only one who could have suddenly appeared in front of his window than disappear in a flash.

"Holy shit!" The blond got up, running up the stairs and through the corridor. Fear clouded his mind as he stumbled through the door, spinning on his heels and slamming the door. His heart was beating so quickly he thought it was going to jump right out of his chest.

"I'm so going to kill him." He leaned his forehead up against the door. All he did was take deep breaths and recollect his thoughts, trying to stay as calm as he…

"Yaaahhhhhh." Naruto felt something go down his back so he whipped around and froze. He was pressed up onto the door and frantic eyes meet with amused ones. No way. How did he get in here? He was one of those gang members he just knew it. There was no possible way that a normal teenager could just break in so fast.

"You didn't come out." His arms were placed on either side of Naruto's head, caging him on to the door. "You know what that means do you?"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Don't kill me please!" Naruto was going to die; he just could feel it in the pit of his stomach. He couldn't see anything; he shut his eyes so tightly not even tears could escape. But no cold metal, not even a click of a gun was felt or heard. So he decided it would be safe to open his eyes but he thought wrong.

"What the-get out of my face!" He frantically pushed Sasuke away and if it weren't for the desk he hit, he would have fallen down. But it wasn't his fault; Sasuke's face was so close to his that his warm breath was felt, caressing his cheek.

"Get out of-of my house."

"Are you coming out?"

"No I'm not! I don't need to, just get out!" Naruto made his way slowly toward his bed. There was a bat tucked under his bed, all he had to do was get to it. He always had bad nights hearing all kinds of noises that literally scared the crap out of him. So the bat did give him a lot of comfort.

Sasuke however eyed his suspicious movements and the nervous way the blond just darted his eyes to the bed than back at him. It wasn't something that was going to turn out good so that's when he took a step forward, causing Naruto to stop in place. Every step Sasuke took forward, Naruto's eyes would open wider.

"I said get out." Naruto warned

"You're like the others." He said cruelly with the darkest glare that he ever seen. It had made Tsunade's glare crash to the ground at this point. Naruto was shaking and he definitely knew he blew it; he was going to be stabbed in his own room.

"S-Stay back!"

"You fucking bastard. You hate me don't you?" Those furrowed brows made Naruto stumble backwards, falling on his bed. "You're accusing me aren't you?"

"I-I don't hate you." Naruto tried to stop Sasuke in place but he stood in front of him. Looking down at him with those cruel eyes of hatred.

"You liar."

"I-I don't."

"Than why didn't you come out? If you hate me than I have no choice but to call you my enemy." Sasuke glared at Naruto who just looked at him with fear. He hated that look ever since he was a child. A look of disgust, a glare that he now held was all he got from the people in town.

"Your enemy? Why do you want to be my enemy? I didn't do anything to you."

"I don't care. You're giving me that look and I don't like it. You hate me and that's all it takes for me to hate a person."

"I don't hate you. I don't-"

"Than show me." Sasuke's hand caressed Naruto's cheek causing more confusion to erupt in his head. The closer his face got, the more Naruto's hands trembled. Was this guy a queer or was he just coming near him just to stab a knife through his stomach. Naruto wasn't going to find out.

He pushed him away and got on his knees, grabbing the bat from under the bed. "Get out!" He was gripping the bat so tightly that he thought it was going to split apart. His heart was thumping like crazy but astonishingly enough Sasuke stepped back, moving toward the open window.

"I'll be seeing you tomorrow." His eyes were clinging with detestation that got Naruto on edge.

"Just don't come near me. Ever again."

"I can't do that. You're my rival now." Sasuke went out of the window, walking on top of the roof and jumping down moments later.

Naruto looked at the window with a haze look in his eyes. What just happened? He thought, setting down the bat before running to the window and shutting it tightly. It seemed like he was just standing there, the raven just stood across the street, making sure he was seen through the window. Even though he was far away, Naruto could still see the glare in the man's eyes.

Akatsuki member or not, he was a scary guy and all he wanted was for him to stay away. School was going to be a torture on Monday because all he was going to think about was that guy. His glare, those jet-black eyes and his great looks that he couldn't take his mind off of, Sasuke was the only one who was going to be on his mind all day and it slowly killed him inside.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

I know it's confusing but the next chapter will give you a hint of understanding. But I hope you liked it. Sasuke is kind of weird I know but you'll understand once this story moves along. Tell me what you think
