Chapter 1

Tap, tap, tap.

Sasuke tapped his fingers on desk impatiently as the officer before him looked through his files of the boy, taking a long time in the boy's opinion. Sasuke, the boy, was not what you would call trouble maker. He was more of the well educated teen who was anti-social and glared at anyone who tried to befriend him. That's probably why he had barely any friends in school. At the most, he has three at the moment, one he doesn't even like or call him a friend. But it was that friend that got him in trouble in the first place. Sai was so dead when he gets out of here. That guy may look like him, but that wasn't going to stop him from bashing the man's brains in.

Speaking of looks, Sasuke was what you would call a walking sex god. He had the looks of one and walked like one. He had raven black hair that spiked at the back, bangs framing his face. His mother wanted him to cut his hair, but Sasuke didn't want to part with his beautiful hair. His eyes were really dark that looked black, but were really a dark blue. His skin was pale, almost a sickly pale, but that didn't bother the people since it was common amongst the Uchihas, whom is very well know for being rich and owning the Uchiha corp. of medical industries.

But this officer wasn't moved at all of having an Uchiha sitting in his office.

You're probably wondering why Sasuke is in trouble. Well, it all has do deal with a dare, alcohol and driving. Sai was the one who dared him, Sasuke was the one who drank, and Sasuke was the one who got caught drinking and being a minor. Just two more months and he won't be a minor anymore, making seventeen at the moment.

Sai and Sasuke had a drinking contest, Sasuke winning of course, before the raven said he had to leave before his mother noticed that he was gone too late. What they didn't know was the officer in the bar watching them. Neji and Gaara, the friends that he actually liked, were with them, telling both of them to stop. That's why one of the reasons they weren't arrested, also because they were eighteen.

Sai too was eighteen, but was arrested because he was encouraging Sasuke to drink even though he was a minor. After being caught and dragged to the police building, Sasuke was now sitting half drunk in the man's office while Sai was in another with another officer.

The man finally put the file down and looked at Sasuke with his hands folded over his desk. "So what's an Uchiha minor doing out in a bar and drinking?" the man asked, his brown eyes looking the teen over quickly. He pulled the hair band from his hair and let his chocolate hair fall around his shoulders. The man was young, around his late twenties with tan skin and a scare across the bridge of his nose. "You people seem to have more respect for the law than any other citizen."

"I was dared and you should know that Uchihas don't back down from dares," Sasuke replied bluntly, looking at the man's desk.

"Yes I do, but they weren't all minors and did things that were illegal." This man was no push over, that's a fact.

"So what are you going to do? Arrest me?" Sasuke crossed his arms and looked blankly at the officer, still a little tipsy.

"No, you're still a minor. I would if you were eighteen and had done something else. But what I'm gonna do is have you do community service for the Konoha orphanage. They've needed some work done around there and I think you would be perfect for the job."

"You want me to baby-sit a couple of brats?"

"No, you're going to help rebuild several things and you're going to be doing from nine-o-clock am to nine-o-clock pm, without pay."

"But I have school!"

Iruka couldn't but smirk and let out a chuckle. "I know, that's why you'll be doing it during summer vacation in a couple of weeks. Three months of work and that'll be all. If you finish with that, Naruto will find some other things for you to do. Understand?"

"Yes… who's Naruto?" Sasuke was afraid to ask who this person was, but wanted to find out also.

"He's the owner of the orphanage. He's very kind, but can be truly a pain in the ass when he wants to be. Now that that is over, I should get you home and have you explain what has kept you out for most of the night."

And with that, the officer drove Sasuke home, whose mother was standing by the doorway when the car drove into the drive through. She was hysterical when she saw her son climbing out from the backseat of a police car and demanded what happened after she closed behind them. She had Sasuke sit down on the couch in the pallor room and got his father.

"What the hell were you doing out so late and coming back home in a police car?" Fugaku, Sasuke's father, demanded. The man was 47 and didn't look like a day over 35. He had brunette hair, but those cold navy blue eyes that seemed to look into your soul.

"When did you go out? I never knew that you left!" Mikoto, Sasuke's mother, said in that annoying high pitched voice of hers when she was angry. She was 42 and didn't look like it. She was the one that gave her sons their looks, but their father was the one that gave them their attitude.

Itachi was the oldest son and had long black hair, tied back into a loose pony-tail, pale skin, and blood red eyes. He was the favorite of the family and soon to own the Uchiha Corp., not that he ever wanted to. Sasuke and he were different from the way they dressed to the way they spoke to another person.

"I went out drinking with my friends and got caught," Sasuke stated bluntly. "And now I have to do community service for the Konoha orphanage without pay during the summer. Happy?"

"Happy? Of course we're not happy! We're furious! First you snuck out, went to a bar with you friends, drank illegally, and got caught! How could you make such a stupid mistake like that?!" Mikoto shouted out angrily, arms raised in the air as she said this.

"Have I taught you nothing?!" Fugaku asked angrily. He growled in anger and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Go to your room, we'll talk about this in the morning."

Sasuke did so without a word, slamming his door in anger himself. He locked his door and quickly de-clothed himself as he walked to his conjoined bathroom in his room. He was glad Itachi didn't want a bathroom in his room and let Sasuke have this one. Getting into the shower, the raven cleaned the gunk and cigarette smoke off of him before washing his hair. His bathroom wasn't so fancy, nor was it small. It was large enough as regular house bathroom than a mansion bathroom.

His bathroom had a white tile floor, black granite counter tops and towels, and a regular walk in shower with class slide doors. The shower was large enough to fit a tube, but the sides only went up a few inches to keep the water from going onto the tile floor. It was pretty nice bathroom if you ask me.

Sliding the shower door open, Sasuke grabbed his towel on the rack beside the door and wrapped it around his waist before going back to his room. His room was pretty large and held a queen sized bed with red cotton blankets it and black pillows. To the left side of it held a tall dresser with a full body mirror that opened to reveal a TV inside. To the right side of the bed was his desk, several books and papers scattered on it. To the foot of his bed sat a dog bed with German Shepard waiting for his master to pet him.

The dog perked up when the raven exited the shower and wagged its tail. Sasuke smirked at it as he got dressed into a pair of black silk boxers and a dark navy blue tank top before getting on his bed, patting a space next to him for his dog. The animal readily jumped up and curled slightly next to him, placing a paw and its head onto a bare knee.

"You know Taki, you're probably the only friend I have that actually understands me," the raven said, slumping back onto his bed and petting his dog's head and ears. Taki barked in agreement, raising his head and looking at the teen with his tongue hanging out. "Plus, if you say something negative, I won't understand."

Taki growled lowly, laying his head back down. Sasuke chuckled before getting under his comforter, disrupting the way Taki was laying. The animal whined at being moved before crawling beside Sasuke's side, laying his head on the raven's chest after giving his master a small lick on the face.

"Good-night Taki."

Taki only huffed, ears alert and perked up.

(two weeks later)

"Hey Sasuke, a few of the guys and me are going over to Neji's house and have a little boy's night out in celebration for school being over," Kiba said, coming beside Sasuke and swinging an arm around the raven. Kiba was an overly nice guy with brown hair, brown dog like eyes, and an upside down red triangle on either side of his face. Plus he was a dog lover.

Sasuke rolled his eyes and shrugged off the arm. "I can't, I have work I have to do tomorrow to make up for what I did a couple of weeks ago," the teen mumbled, not really wanting to talk to the dog lover about it. By the time Sasuke was in school the next day, everyone knew about it. And the day after, they all knew about his parents' yelling and punishment for him. Mikoto and Fugaku did not go easy on him.

"Oh right, what was that… baby-sitting at the orphanage?" Kiba laughed out and slapped the raven on the back. But he soon quieted down at the glare he was receiving. "(cough) so what are you really doing?"

"I'm not sure, officer Iruka didn't tell me. He said Naruto would tell me when I get there tomorrow."

"Dude, I feel really sorry for you. Hey, why don't you take Taki with you tomorrow?! I'm sure the kids there will love it and he could keep you company while you work," the brunette suggested, taking a step back to make sure the raven doesn't blow up on him. He was relieved when Sasuke seemed about it in a positive way.

"I could do that if Naruto and Iruka don't mind."

"Right, well… I'll gonna go tell the others that you can't make it then. Too bad, huh?" Kiba gave the raven one last pat on the back before leaving Sasuke's side, much to his relief. But it was soon blown away when a pink haired girl with green eyes and a skimpy outfit came running up to him.

"Sasuke! I was hoping to run into you (more like find you)!" she squealed in Sasuke's ear, making him wince and step away from the pinkette. Could his luck get any worse? "What you doing tonight?" She followed after him, oblivious to his need to get away from her.

"Nothing and that's what I want to keep it," he hissed lowly. Sakura ignored and kept talking.

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to go tonight and see the city with me."

Sasuke sighed and stopped, turning around to face the girl. "Sakura, I've already seen the whole city, I don't want to go anywhere tonight, and all I want is some peace and quiet. Can you leave me alone? Besides, I have not interest in girls at the moment any way."

"Can I go to your house then? We can have peace and quiet there." She wiggled her eyebrows and ran a hand down his chest. Sasuke brushed it off and glared at her.

"Does the meaning not interested and leave me alone mean anything?" he growled.

"Not if it's you Sasuke-kun," she replied smiling, latching onto his arm. The raven whined mentally, but verbally growled, pushing her off and walking away. Sakura whined out to him as he did so, but didn't go after him, which he was thankful for.

The next day was what Sasuke was dreading the most and was already ready in a pair of holey pants and plain t-shirt (what Iruka recommended), waiting for Iruka to come. Taki sat on his hunches beside his master, tongue hanging out as he panted. Mikoto was in the kitchen making breakfast while talking to Itachi, who was eating an apple as his breakfast.

Sasuke stood in the family room, looking out the window once in a while, keeping an eye out for Iruka. Sasuke tried sitting down, but his nerves were too jumpy, wanting him to pace. But kept himself from doing that and stood instead. Itachi noticed the raven's jumpy expression and snorted, holding back a chuckle. Sasuke glared at his brother before glancing back out the window. It was almost nine-o-clock.

Itachi shook his head and stood next to him, Taki growling lowly at the sight of the other man. Itachi glanced down at the dog warily before looking back at his younger brother.

"I swear, you trained that dog of yours to hate me. He was our dog before," he said warily, arms slightly crossed. "What's got you so jumpy? All you're doing is helping out at the orphanage."

"I know that, but I don't know what kind of work. And I trained Taki like that on purpose."

"I'm not gonna ask why. Anyway, if you see any hot chicks there and are legal, come get me." Itachi winked and patted Sasuke's shoulder, who was looking at his bother in surprise. "I'm just kidding, do that and I'll kill you."

Sasuke rolled his eyes and took another glance out the window. Iruka had just driven into the large driveway and honked the horn for the raven to come out. The teen calmly walked out of the house and to the man's police car with Taki, sitting in the front, not saying good-bye to his mom, who had made a plate of bacon, eggs, and a piece of toast on the side. Taki sat in the back quietly, surprising the man.

"Good morning Sasuke," Iruka said with a smile. The raven only sighed and leaned his head against the window. "You ready for today?"

"Not really," Sasuke replied. "What kind of work am I actually doing anyways?" He kept his head against the window as he said this, but glanced to the side to look at the police officer. "I hope I'm not baby-sitting or anything."

"You're most likely not. I'm not even sure what Naruto has planned for you. But bid you good luck." The brunette grinned to himself as they made their way down town where Konoha's orphanage sat. "I called Itachi yesterday if he could come pick you up a little before nine, because I have work of my own to attend."

"Whatever."

Coming up to a dirt road a mile out of town, Iruka drove up to a three story house that was under construction on the left side of the house. It seemed they were building an attachment to the already large house for more children. Which by the way were running around outside with water guns, the smallest with the hose. The kids stopped their playing when the car drove up and ran to greet the brunette with smiling faces. Iruka greeted back happily, listening to the tales the youngsters wanted to tell him. When Sasuke got out, all the girls blushed and shyly went to greet him. The guys just rolled their eyes and went back to shooting each other with water pellets. The girls soon joined, not wanting to be left out along with Taki, who pranced around the children and getting wet him.

"They're great kids, you would like them," Iruka said with a small grin. "Well just mosey on inside, Naruto shouldn't be too hard to find. Oh, and be careful of Akito and Kyo." The brunette walked back to his car and hopped in. He was about to drive away when Sasuke was suddenly at his driver's window.

"Wait, where are you going? And who's Akito and Kyo? Don't leave me alone with children!" He was almost practically whining as he said this, holding onto the car. Iruka sighed and pried the raven's fingers off his car.

"I'm going to work. I don't want my boss, Kakashi getting angry at me again." The man shivered at what happened last time before leaving the raven on his own at the three story house.

Sasuke took in a deep breath and walked into the house bravely, not knowing what might pop out before him. There were a few more children inside that were mostly girls playing with dolls or teens talking about make-up and boys. Speaking about boys, the two oldest teens there looked up to see a beautiful sex god in front of them. They gushed and had hearts in their eyes as they gazed up at him, all lovy-dovy like. The raven snorted in annoyance and passed them to talk to the only boy inside, whom was sitting on the couch playing an old fashion Nintendo.

"Ah, excuse me." The boy looked up at the sound of Sasuke's voice and looked boardly at him. "Do you know where I can find Naruto?" The boy blinked before going back to his game. Sasuke was about to retort when the kid suddenly said,

"He's in the den." It was whispered, but the older teen got it. The boy looked to be a pre-teen with blue hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. He didn't look like much, but Sasuke could tell he was natural prankster.

"Thanks." Sasuke made his way to the hallway where the boy had pointed and looked for a staircase that went down. He did so and saw that there was no door to enter or go through, just a carpet staircase leading down. The teen took an interrogating step before walking all the way down it when nothing happened. When he got to the bottom, he could hear snoring.

Looking to where the snoring came from, Sasuke saw a blond woman sleeping on a couch. Oh please don't let that be Naruto, was the first thing Sasuke could think of. But as he did, a blond haired man tip-toed out of what looked like to be a bedroom with a recorder in his hand. The man silently tip-toed to the sleeping woman and turned the recorder on, speaking into the small speaker.

"This is Ino snoring," the blond whispered into it before holding it up to the other blond's face. But nothing came out. Quirking an eyebrow, the man took the recorder away and turned it off, a little disappointed until the woman started snoring again. The man restarted. "This is a recording of Ino snoring." Once again he held the recorder to the woman's face, and yet again nothing came out. Getting angry, the blond man restarted again. "This is Ino snoring." He started making snoring sounds into the recorder, doing it several times and not noticing the woman had woken up.

"What are you doing?" she asked, surprising the man, who jumped and hid the little contraption behind his back.

"Nothing."

"Were you recording me, trying to prove that I snore?" She looked at him quizzically. To prove that she was right, she pulled the hand that was holding the recorder from his back. "I can't believe you, I do not snore." She crossed her arms and glared at the man.

"I have to disagree with that," Sasuke spoke up, surprising the both of them. "I'm looking for Naruto."

"I'm Naruto," the blond man said, walking up to the teen. "Can I help you?"

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha and I'm here to do community service." Sasuke looked at the msn up and down as he spoke, liking at what he saw. The man had short, spiky blond hair, blue eyes as bright as the sky, and really tan skin. At the moment he was wearing faded out jeans with a few holes here and there and a red tank top.

"Oh right! The illegal drinking minor! Iruka told me about you! Are you ready for a whole day of work?!" Naruto asked with a widely grin. Sasuke only rolled his eyes and let himself be dragged back outside to the newly constructed area of the house. "You're lucky that I finished putting up the walls. Now we're going to put sidings on and roof. I'm hoping to finish the walling and roofing before it rains next week."

Sasuke only watched the blond talk and explain what they'll be doing during the week. It was only Tuesday and Naruto was already talking about the whole week's worth of work. The blond led him to his table saw where he was cutting the siding for the house and painting an off white color, different from the rest of the light blue house. And they soon got to work, Sasuke remaining quiet and Naruto being a blabber mouth.

So far, the raven found out that Naruto's full name was Naruto Uzimaki (I don't care if I spell his last name wrong!) and that he was half German and half Japanese, twenty-three years old. Odd combination. His mother was Japanese while his mother was German. They both came to America to study about becoming lawyers. When they met, they hit it off pretty well and soon got married and had Naruto, closing off their dreams of becoming lawyers. But after two years Naruto was born, they mugged and murdered. Iruka had taken him in and became his tutor while studying to become a police officer.

Naruto spoke only a few words of German and Japanese, but not much. The blond kept speaking until he noticed Sasuke hadn't said a word since they left the den. Naruto suddenly turned the conversation to the raven, who was helping nailing that last piece of the siding for the front side.

"What about you?" Naruto asked, going to the side of the new attachment, nailing in another siding. "Have any siblings?"

"I have an older brother. He's two years older than you," Sasuke replied bluntly. He glanced at the blond who nodded for him to keep going. "What else do you want to know about me? You should know me since I'm an Uchiha."

"Nope, I know nothing about you. I didn't look up your name because I wanted to hear about you from yourself. So go on, you're doing well."

"Well, I live in the upper side of town, my family owns the Uchiha Corp., and I have a dog named Taki."

Naruto nodded in satisfaction as he got the raven to open up a little. "I was wondering why I had an extra pet. I have a fox named Kyo and a cat name Akito. I'm sure your dog has probably met Taki by now. And the Uchiha Corp.? So you're the son of Fugaku Uchiha?"

Sasuke nodded. "Yes."

"Hmm, you're doing quite well even though it's your first time doing this." Naruto put in the last siding for the side and moved to the back and last wall. "After this wall, we can take a break, it's almost lunch time." Sasuke nodded at both of the things that the blond said and nailed in the siding. "You know Sasuke, you're not as bad as the guy I thought you were gonna be."

"And who did you think I was going to be?" the raven asked, glancing at the blond, who took off his shirt, making Sasuke almost have a nose bleed at the sight of well defined muscles. He looked away when he blushed.

"Oh, you know, those high and mighty rich boys that think they can do whatever they want and have whatever they want. But to me, you don't seem like that."

"My parents don't seem to think so."

Naruto hummed. "I can say why, because of you being a minor and drinking illegally. Don't sweat it. I did that once too and I had to do the same job that I'm doing with you, but at a different orphanage. Iruka was so pissed off, I thought he was gonna explode or bust a gasket."

Sasuke couldn't help but chuckle lightly at this. The man was an original country side blond with no set backs or values of the world, just respect. Finally finishing the siding, the woman Ino came out with two boxes of Chinese food, handing them chopsticks as well. Both boys climbed the ladder to the top of the attachment and ate there, continuing their talk.

"So have you ever done anything else illegal or something?" Sasuke asked around a mouth full of Sesame chicken. Naruto shrugged and slurped in some ramen noodles. "I thought ramen was Japanese?"

"It is, we reuse these boxes sometimes. Ino never really called up for Chinese food. Anyways, the only other illegal thing I did waaaasss… auto theft. Other than that, I only did things to upset my foster parents before I lived with Iruka at age sixteen. You?"

"Nothing else like that. I try to obey every rule my parents gave me," Sasuke mumbled, grimacing at the thought. "But I hate it. Actually going behind my parents' back like that made something inside me quiver and want more. I want to disobey my parents a lot more."

"Uh-oh, don't think like that. I mean it's good to have fun when it's legal and not entirely your parents' say. They only make rules to protect you, though they can get out of hand sometimes," Naruto replied, his face serious. "I mean, the first thing I did when I was rebelling was getting a tattoo on my ass. They still don't know about." A teasing grin was planted on his face after saying that, liking how the raven blushed and blood started to drip down his nose. "Anyways, back to work."

The first day of work was alright, but tiring. His muscles were sore and he had really bad sunburn on his arms, back and neck. He was lucky his face didn't receive any kind of red blotches, but there did to seem a permanent blush after all the teasing and sexy things the blond said throughout the whole day. Mikoto greeted him before going to bed, telling him there was some left overs in the fridge, but Sasuke replied he already had dinner at the orphanage.

Itachi was a little lost when getting his brother, but soon found it and took Sasuke home after greeting Naruto. Itachi told Sasuke to go have a quick cold shower and wipe off the sweat and grime off his body before going to bed. Sasuke was glad to and instantly fell asleep in his towel right when his head hit his pillow. Taki laid down beside, excited about tomorrow. Kyo and Taki had got along great. But when Akito got into the picture, Taki became jealous of the cat for taking all the fox's attention away from him.

But Sasuke was glad too about tomorrow, no matter how tired he was.

So there's the first chapter. I hope you all like it and review.
