Chapter One

Naruto was scared. Seriously god dam scared.

He thought since his over possessive neighbor went to another school he would be fine. Like Naruto seriously hadn't done anything wrong he was totally innocent, like he shouldn't have to worry about these things he wasn't even in a relationship it was ridiculous.

Then why do you feel so guilty? said a voice in the back of his mind, "shut up" he muttered to himself.

He wasn't guilty just because his raven haired neighbor told him not to have any relationships while he was being tutored, because Naruto didn't need 'distractions'. That didn't mean Naruto had to listen to Sasuke.

The boy might be tall and mature and attractive enough to get multiple offers from sexy older woman, but he was pretty much the same age as Naruto.

Naruto was old enough to make his own decisions about who he dated if Sasuke could have relationships so could Naruto "Yeah telling yourself that" shush Naruto told the voice. Well I'm sure talking to myself like a child is great sign of maturity Naruto told himself, and sanity.

Anyway despite popular belief and rumors he was not actually back in a relationship with his ex girlfriend Sakura. They were close friends and that was all. She had called him up late at night a week ago begging for Naruto to help her Naruto remembered what happened clearly in his mind.

Flashback

'Ring.. ring.. ring...' Naruto awoke at the noise groggily reaching towards his phone.

"Hello Sakura why are you calling me this late?" "Naruto it's Sasori I b-broke up with him like a week ago when he cheated on me. He won't leave me alone he's been leaving d-dead things in front of my door and- I think he's been taking photos of me, I went to the police but Sasori's parents a-are on the force" she sobbed hysterically "The police they won't help m-me" she sniffled a little bit "Sakura are you okay do you want me to come over?"

Naruto was careful to keep his voice calm "yeah-h b-but I don't want too cause you any problems will it be all right with your dad?" she spoke still crying but sounding guilty "Look don't worry bout a thing i'll be right over keep yourself safe, make sure to stay away from him" Naruto said a quick goodbye and hung up.

The blonde knew Sakura wasn't the type to be upset over nothing she was strong willed, smart and aiming to be a lawyer, but her parents were busy business people so they were rarely home so Sakura was for the most part alone. Which was probably why she ended up in relationships with 'bad boys' because she was lonely by herself.

So he quickly told his father Jiraiya a brief exploitation chucking a little when he found him in a compromising position with his partner Tsunade. Jiraiya seemed more annoyed then embarrassed however Tsunade had a slight blush on her cheeks. lucky her clothes were on but Naruto had no idea that Tsunade was so flexible.

Naruto headed right over, despite it being 1.00am on a school night and it being a half an hour drive. Soon enough he arrived finding a dead crow on the doorstep its insides splayed across the doormat. The blonde cleaned it up figuring it was better that he did rather than leaving Sakura to clean up the mess.

It stunk so much Naruto wasn't sure he could ever eat food again, except ramen he was always hungry for ramen.

He then rang the doorbell and when Sakura opened the door after carefully looking through the peephole first, Naruto saw that she looked even worse than what she had sounded like on the phone. her pink hair was a mess her eyes were an angry red and her skin was sickly pale and she looked as if she had lost a bit of weight.

"Hey it's gonna be ok" Naruto said pulling Sakura into a hug. "I swear when I get my hands on that douchebag he is gonna wish he was never born!" Naruto was pissed how dare anyone treat another person like that.

Sakura sniffled and pulled out of the hug to grab a tissue, muttering about having no milk to make tea and apologizing about the mess. Naruto guided her now shaking form towards the couch and sat her down telling her to take deep breaths and to try calm down.

After a few minutes Sakura turned towards Naruto "I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend." She spoke clearly and confidently but Naruto was sure that he heard her wrong

"Huh?"

"You heard me I mean maybe if Sasori knows I'm in a relationship he will leave me alone" Sakura looked at him with puppy dog eyes "That is a horrible idea! stalkers don't just go away when you get in relationship, pretend or otherwise. their not nice and convenient like that"Naruto exclaimed.

"But-t you have a black belt in judo so maybe he will get all intimidated and go away" Sakura looked at him with those pleading puppy dog eyes "Nuh-ah this is like the time you convinced me that Iruka wouldn't notice if we skipped class for one lesson, to see a lame boy band concert, I had detention for a month. Or that time where you promised you would distract kakashi when i released all the toads from bio class into his car but I ended up collecting the toads, cleaning his car and being his slave for three weeks."

Sakura pouted "That doesn't prove that this plan will fail" she wined "YES IT DOES!" Naruto spoke raising his voice "I't proves that you have absolutely terrible horrible ideas that always backfire in my face!"

Naruto was absolutely not pretending to be Sakura's boyfriend, it would not happen. "Won't you pleaseeee do this one little favor for me?" Sakura fluttered her eyelashes "you're my friend aren't you?" She stared into Naruto's eyes with a somehow innocent yet threatening look "I'll treat you to that ramen restaurant you like"

Naruto sighed "Fine but would like to point out that that is both emotional blackmail and bribery which is totally morally corrupt" Sakura squealed in delight at her victory.

Oh well thought Naruto he may have given in but at least he would get ramen out of it.

So that's what happened, and really considering it was fake Sasuke should totally understand if Naruto explained it to him.

So why was Naruto so nervous as he stared down at the text on his phone "Dobe, meet me in your room straight after school, when you asked if I would tutor you the agreement was no relationships, that you would focus wholly on your studies. Naughty students will be punished"

Naruto felt that given Sasuke's cold demeanor and his scary older brother Itachi's connections that it was entirely possible that he could be murdered, or sold into slavery, or even torchered? maybe Sasuke would take all the ramen away? then life would really be over. The blonde knew logically he should not draw conclusions but he damn well had every right to speculate like Sasuke could be pretty scary.

Of course that scariness could be extremely helpful if Sasuke was helping him like that time the mailman kept looking at Naruto's arse all the time and how Sasuke had frightened him away, come to think of it Naruto hadn't seen the man since strangely enough.

Or that time when he dogs at Kiba's dog Akamaru while he went away and couldn't get the puppy to behave while he was walking it he even got bit , the raven haired boy glared at the dog tell it whimpered and exposed it belly Sasuke then accompanied Naruto on the walk to ensure that the dog would behave.

Despite Sasuke being an annoying bastard maybe he was an ok guy? like he protected Naruto and stuff?

Sighing as the part of his brain wanting to run away gave in Naruto continued to trudge towards his house, little did he know what he would find waiting there.
