A Tamed Pet Or A Wild Animal

This is my very first fanfic so be nice... I won't ask for any reviews, but if you want to I won't stop you. I'll tell you readers everything you need to know about this fic now, so you don't have to ask me later(I know that can sometimes be a drag):

1. This will be very long (I'm intending to make it like that anyway...). 2. The only actual pairing is Sasuke and Naruto (I don't like the idea of writing about other relationships on the sidelines). 3. There will be a lemon at the very end, but that doesn't mean there isn't going to be lots of fluff and some limes (That means something close to a lemon right? Like an unfinished Lemon?). 4. I will try to make a chapter every week (knowing me it will take longer, though...). 5. I will never ever, EVER write a deathfic (No matter how down I feel and no matter how much any of you might beg me)!

Okay I think that just about does it. P.S. I normally don't act all this calm and mature, but I'm so nervous about how my story will turn out, that I'm not acting like myself. I hope I'll get over it by my next fanfic. Anyway... ON WITH THE STORY!

Rays of sunlight washed over pure white sheets and walls. A young boy tried to hide from the evil light, using the pillow to protect his eyes. But the relentless rays had awoken the boy and he began to stir and finally decided to sit up in the bed, the pillow teetered on his head before sliding down his back. The boy looked around himself in a confused daze. A small strand of his golden hair landed on his left eye, closing his attacked eye he used the other one to glare at the lock of hair, and suddenly he remembered what he was doing before he passed out.

"Sasuke!"

The boys blue eyes searched frantically around his surroundings until he realized that he was in the Konoha hospital. He looked at the wall directly in front of him and did his best to think about what had happened. The last thing he remembered was fighting his best friend and rival (he even called him his brother): Sasuke. He clearly recalled his last moment with Sasuke:

The dreaded Flashback!

His body felt like it was burning -it felt like flames were slowly eating away at his bones and flesh- immobilizing his movements, causing his left arm to be completely useless. He stood up and watched his friends movements carefully. They both prepared their final attack, to decide the victor. Leaping at one another the raised their hands, each with its own ball of chakra and shouted out their attacks.

"CHIDORI!"

"RASANGAN!"

In a vortex of mass destruction, Sasuke saw an opening and aimed a direct fatal punch to his best friends chest. The other cringing in pain also saw his opening and rather carefully he planted a scratch on Sasuke's headband. He smiled and thought to himself: 'There Sasuke! You said I wouldn't even land one scratch on your forehead. I showed you, didn't I? Now you'll come back, right?' In that moment both of them saw what could have been, if they only had the courage to face each other sooner: They saw younger versions of themselves linking two of their fingers together in a tight unbreakable bond of friendship and smiling fondly to one another.

End of the dreaded Flashback

"Ah, Naruto. You're up."

The boy looked up into his sensei's face in shock: he hadn't even noticed he had entered the room. Naruto noticed another person at Kakashi's side, and realizing who it was, he looked down in shame. It was Sakura, his and Sasuke's Teammate. Naruto had promised her that he'd bring Sasuke back and even swore it on his Ninja way: To never go back on his word. But there he was, a loser in a hospital bed, maybe Sasuke was right: maybe he really was a dobe.

Sakura didn't even look in his direction, and Kakashi feeling the hatred she had decided to bring her as far away from Naruto as he could. And so Naruto watched them leave with sorrow-filled eyes.

"Give up on it, okay, Naruto?"

Naruto looked up at the window towards the voice, and saw an old man with long white hair tied back in a ponytail and had red streaks running down from his eyes. The man was looking out at the setting sun and then turned his eyes to focus on the blue ones before him. His old age was obvious, but his well toned body was hard to overlooked. Any sane person would think twice before attacking this man, even if they didn't know he was one of the three Legendary Sannin.

"Eh? What are you talking about, Ero-sennin?" Naruto asked trying his hardest to master one of his foxy grins.

"I'm talking about going after Sasuke. It's pretty clear that he decided on his own to go to Orochimaru."

"HE'S MY FRIEND! IF I DON'T STOP HIM NOW, THEN..." Naruto looked down and brought his last words to a whisper. "... Orochimaru will... he will... ... ... kill him..."

"Don't worry about it. Because of the damage the Third Hokage did to him, he most likely already transferred his soul to another body." Jiraiya was deeply moved by Naruto's concerns for Sasuke. "I did some investigating and found that Orochimaru will have to wait for at least three years, until he takes Sasukes body for his own. During that time I will train you myself. But..."

'Oh no!' Naruto flinched. 'There's a catch?!'

"I ABSOLUTELY FORBID YOU TO GO AFTER HIM UNTIL THEN!" Naruto gawked at Jiraiyas serious face and furious tone. "Even then I might decide for you not to go at all..."

"NANI?!"

"... Do you honestly think you can change his mind? Like I said before he went on his own free will. I know you won't be able to change his mind because he's exactly like Orochimaru: He craves power..." Naruto was about to say -or rather yell- something when he interrupted. "You already know that you're no ordinary kid! The Akatsuki are after the Kyuubi, if they were to ever catch you..."

"I'M NOT ABOUT TO LET MY FRIEND DIE! NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY I WILL BRING SASUKE BACK HOME!"

"WOULD A FRIEND TRY AND KILL YOU?!" Jiraiya studied Narutos face, but saw nothing other than raw determination. He sighed "... if you go after him I won't be able to train you..."

"Heh, like I really care if you train me or not, Ero-sennin."

"You idiot! I said I won't be ABLE to train you, not that I wouldn't!" Naruto cocked his head in complete confusion. "If you leave, you're very likely to die!"
