Hope you like this and even get interested.

Intro

Sasuke Uchiha chose the late hour of 12 o'clock midnight to go walking through the streets of New York.

All was quiet where he walked, if you ignored the distant sounds of gunshots, cars wrecking, and people screaming. He knew it wasn't safe to walk 'round the grungy parts of his beloved city, so he instead strutted through the main streets.

'Maybe I'll go to Central Park…' he thought to himself, his head bowed, his black bangs masking his dark eyes.

He sighed and stopped his tracks. He threw his face towards the sky as the supposedly last snowflakes of the winter were falling, swirling around him. The cool breeze blew through and around his black, pinstriped suit, chilling his seventeen year old body.

He didn't realize how cold it was until now. Okay, maybe he wasn't going to the Park tonight.

He decided he would just walk back home instead.

Little to Sasuke's knowledge, however, he would run into fate in less than seven minutes.

Naruto ran as fast as his thin legs would carry him, the cold air whipping and stinging his bare arms and exposed collar. His cheeks were beet red from running and cold, and his blue eyes watered. Regardless, he was taking off like a madman from his pursuer.

"You little sonofabitch!! Give me back what you stole!! When I catch you, I'll kill you!" the older, angered man screamed at Naruto's back.

Naruto looked behind him for a brief second. 'Shit, I don't think I'll make it…this guy's fast.'

He rounded a corner into the main streets, and suddenly, as if a truck had hit him, he collided with another body and was thrown backwards onto his rear.

"Oww!" He moaned, rubbing his backside. He looked up and saw his run-in doing the same, looking back at him through squinted eyes.

"Hey," The other boy said, standing up. "You-."

Naruto shook his head and squeaked as his chaser grabbed a tight hold on the back of his neck, finally having caught up with him.

"I've got you now, you little thieving faggot." The older man breathed into Naruto's face, the air making him want to choke.

"Get off! Help, man, he's gonna kill me! I didn't even do nothin' and he's gonna kill my ass!" The little blonde pleaded with the black haired youth.

The other kid looked at him for a second with unreadable eyes and then looked up at the man.

"Let him go." He said simply.

The old man faltered for a minute. "What?"

"He tells me you're gonna kill him. Let him go."

"No way, I'm not gonna kill 'im, the little bitch just stole from me! I'm takin' 'im to the cops, that's all." A wry grin spread across his bearded face.

Sasuke wasn't convinced. He was more inclined to believe the pretty blonde boy begging at his feet.

"Don't let him get me, c'mon!!" He cried as he was getting dragged away. His eyes widened when he saw the black haired boy reach for a pocket.

Not a millisecond passed by when the in one swift movement, the old man dropped to the ground like a fly. Naruto's eyes widened even more so when he saw what the other boy was putting back in his pocket.

A switch blade! The suit-wearing punk had shanked him right in the heart! Naruto, unwavered by the violence jumped up and smiled wide, amazed at the other boy's skills.

"Wow! You-that was awesome!" He yelped in excitement.

The other boy shrugged. "I don't like when people don't listen to me. Now c'mon, let's get outta here before someone sees."

Violent? Quick thinking? Gorgeous? The boy was a man after his own heart thought Naruto.

He shook his blonde head and sped off after the quickly retreating saviour.

All Sasuke was thinking as he walked briskly along was of the pretty blonde boy's clothing; all he wore was a dark green wife-beater with a red swirl design on the chest, some old, rather baggy black jeans, and a pair of tattered old chucks. Surely the boy was freezing?

Sasuke would tend to that in some way, he was sure.

So, what'd you think, did I move to fast? I wanted them to have met right away, you know, not to have drug their distance time for too long. I don't know. Well, if you want more, tell me, if you don't…I'll probably keep updating anyway. Thanks.
