"Sure, I'll let him know.." came a voice from outside of the blonde's apartment. It wasn't long before a gentle knocking noise snapped the male up from his bed, his blue eyes opening. "Naruto, you in there?" the person said as the door opened, revealing Iruka. "Oh, hey Iruka-sensei" Naruto smiled, scratching his head lightly as he eyed his former instructor. "Hey Naruto!" Iruka smiled, placing his hands on his hips. "Tsunade has got a mission for you, are you up to it?" he asked as Naruto sighed, sitting back down on his bed. "Sure.. Am I going alone?" the blonde asked, looking to the wooden flooring. "Yeah, but another jonin will rendevouz with you at the designated spot" Iruka said, looking to Naruto with eyes of sympathy. "I'm not entirely sure on who it is but.. I'm assuming it's someone who's capable of working with you on a mission" he said, moving over to Naruto. "Okay.." the blonde said, his tone rather soft. "Tsunade said you're allowed to pay your respects at Jiraiya's grave before you leave.." Iruka said, his words gentle as Naruto's frame tensed. "Alright.." he responded, a small smile appearing on his features. "Be careful, Naruto" Iruka said, giving the blonde's shoulder a gentle squeeze before leaving his apartment. "Yeah.." Naruto sighed and rose to his feet, stretching before gazing to his side table. His blue eyes found themselves looking to three pictures neatly placed side by side, each exposing important people. "Dad.. Mom, watch over me" Naruto said, picking up his forehead protector as he went to change.

"Sasuke, are you ready yet?" a loud voice rang through the raven's ears as he growled lowly. "Yes!" he responded, walking out from his house as he shut the door behind him. "Good, now listen closely.." the voice was Tsunade's. "I want you to keep tabs on Naruto, but you must remain hidden at all costs.. alright?" she said, her eyes flickering seriously. "You are expected to make sure his mission goes smoothly, preventing fights and keeping things in order" she said as Sasuke sighed, nodding. "Just, for the love of god.. Don't let him see you" she said before motioning for him to get going. "Meet him at the rendevouz spot!" she said before Sasuke disappeared. "Why do I have to watch over that idiot?" he growled, leaping through trees as he eyed the ground below. "I'm still trying my best.. Pervy sage.." a voice caught the raven's attention as he stopped, his slate eyes finding a blonde haired male standing in front of a grave. "Naruto..?" Sasuke blinked, watching his former team mate wipe his eyes before disappearing. Curious, Sasuke leapt down from the tree and landed in front of the grave. "Jiraiya..?" Sasuke read over the tombstone, a breeze tussling his raven black hair as he looked to where Naruto took off to. "I see.." he said, immediately cluing in before leaping back up into the tree. From there he kept his distance, spotting Naruto every now and then when the blonde decided to take a break. "This is easier than expected.." Sasuke snorted, standing behind the safety of a tree as he eyed Naruto sitting silently. "H..hey!" Naruto yelled, the raven perking to the sounds of the blonde struggling.

"Bastards, let me go!" Naruto growled, his blue eyes narrowing to the ninjas who had the advantage over him. "Pipe down" a brown haired male snapped, his fist slamming into Naruto's stomach. "The hell..?" Sasuke whispered to himself softly as he eyed the situation. "Seems we've got another!" a voice came from behind the raven as he turned, a fist slamming into his cheek. "Damn it!" Sasuke growled, his back colliding with the tree until he was out cold. "Konoha sure does have lookers.." a voice woke Naruto up after a few hours had passed, his head pounding. "W..what?" he opened his eyes, his vision adjusting to the dim lit room he was in. "Oh, look the blonde one is awake too!" another voice spoke as the room became brighter. "Hey there, pretty boy.." the brown haired male from before grinned, knealing down in front of Naruto. "What're you doing around these parts, huh?" he said, watching the blonde struggle against the chakra strings that had him held in place. "That's classified information" Naruto spat, growling a bit as the three males laughed. "Vicious.. I like that" the brown haired male said, his eyes shifting to the one next to Naruto. "You both are Konoha ninja" he said as Naruto followed his gaze. "Sasuke?" Naruto said, his eyes widening as the raven scowled. "Yeah, idiot" he said, looking away almost shamefully. "What the hell are you doing here?" Naruto asked, still eying Sasuke. "I was on a mission" came the raven's almost silent reply.

"So, pretty boys.." the brown haired male said, sitting back on a chair as he watched the two. "My name's Bunta, leader of this squad you see here" he said, pointing to his two team mates. "We aren't ninja of any village, but go around stealing what we can get our hands on" Bunta said with a grin. "Trash" Sasuke said, his voice like venom as Bunta scowled. "Shut your mouth pretty boy, or I'll make that pale skin of yours a beautiful red" the male threatened, his eyes looking to Naruto. "I'd like toying with this boy first though" Bunta chuckled, raising to his feet as he walked over to Naruto. "How about it, cutie?" Bunta said, gripping Naruto's hair as he tilted the blonde's head up. "You let us have some fun and we'll let ya both go" the male chuckled, his black eyes flashing with a sickening lustful look. "Screw you.." Naruto said as he received a sharp punch to the face, blood finding itself dripping from his mouth. "Sassy too" Bunta smirked, motioning for the other two males to come over. "Strip him, but keep him restrained with those chakra strings" he said while walking over to Sasuke. "You seem to be more of the hostile type, so we'll save you for last.. Won't it be fun though, watching a fellow ninja being used against his own will?" Bunta grinned wildly, watching Sasuke lower his head. "Fuck off!" Naruto yelled, trying to fight against the one male who took to removing the blonde's pants. "Stay still you brat" he growled, punching him in the stomach before successfully removing his pants.

.:Sasuke's POV:.

I watched in silent horror as Naruto was being taken against his own will. Truthfully, I don't really know why it boiled my blood. The blonde honestly meant nothing to me, he was just another bother in my life. Though, I guess I did enjoy the sight of his exposed chest and abs. It was a surprise to me when I caught myself watching with close interest. But it came as even more of a surprise when I felt a surge of jealousy lash out at my heart when they began to fondle him like a toy.

"Ngh.." Naruto groaned, his arms bound behind his back as Bunta ran his tongue over his nipple slowly. "Ooh, you like it huh..?" he chuckled, his hand moving up and down against Naruto's member slowly. "S..stop" the blonde begged as one of the males shoved his member inside of Naruto's mouth forcefully. "What was that? More?" he laughed, tugging on Naruto's hair roughly as he moved himself in and out of his mouth. Naruto gagged, horrified as he felt the third male move behind him. "Get ready, pretty boy" he said, the blonde listening to the sound of the male's pants unzipping. "One.. Two.. Thr-" the male's words were cut short as Naruto listened to the sound of bones snapping. In an instant the two others were on the ground, blood splattering onto the lights. "Naruto..?" Sasuke said, revealing himself as the blonde jumped. "You idiot.." the raven said, releasing the chakra strings as he helped him up gently. "Ugh.." Naruto growled, wiping his mouth as he covered himself up. "Here" Sasuke said, turning his head away as Naruto got dressed into his normal clothes. "These guys were the ones you were supposed to eliminate.." Sasuke said, looking through their pockets. "I was capable of handling this myself" Naruto said rather coldly, breaking the door down. "Sure" Sasuke said sarcastically, walking out behind the blonde.

.:Naruto's POV:.

Alright so, I will be honest about liking men but even so.. That was disgusting! To think I was taken advantage of so easily! And what's worse, Sasuke.. That womanzing son of bitch was the one who saved me. I'm surprised he didn't ask to join those three perverts. I have to admit though, maybe I wouldn't have minded those pale hands touching me..

"I'll let you report back to Tsunade" Sasuke said, leaping next to Naruto as they headed back to Konoha. "Whatever" Naruto said, looking at Sasuke from the corner of his eye. "Thanks.." he said, his words quiet as Sasuke smirked. "Don't worry about it, we're of the same village so it's only natural I'd help you out in a tough situation" Sasuke said, looking over to Naruto who growled. "As I said, I was capable of handling the situation" he said, looking at Sasuke who had that devious smirk on his pale features. "What?" Naruto scoffed, looking back in front of him. "Oh, nothing.. Just it seemed you didn't have anything under control at all" Sasuke replied casually before stopping, coming face to face with the blonde. "Mind your words, bastard" Naruto growled, his blue eyes flashing dangerously as Sasuke shrugged. "Whatever idiot" he said and moved around the male, continuing on with heading back to Konoha. "Ugh!" Naruto sighed, following behind the raven at a slower though almost equal pace. "See ya" Sasuke then said, disappearing as they both arrived at Konoha's gates.

"You got what?" Tsunade said, spitting out some sake as Naruto stood shamefully at her desk. "Who in the hell did this?" she said, her hands slamming down against her desk as she stood up on her feet. "The guys I was supposed to take out" Naruto responded quickly, though his eyes were to the floor. "Did you defeat them?" she asked, moving over next to Naruto who shook his head. "Sasuke did, he's already notified the anbu about their corpses" the blonde said as Tsunade nodded. "Good, but.. are you okay?" she asked, rubbing the blonde's back. "Yep, just fine" he smiled, though inside he was still shaken up. "Well go home and relax, or better yet treat yourself to some ramen.." Tsunade said, placing some money in Naruto's hand. "Good work" she added, patting Naruto's head as she returned to her seat. "Thanks, granny" Naruto chuckled and turned, leaving Tsunade's office in silence. "Yo, Naruto" Shikamaru said, meeting him out in the hallway. "Oh, hey Shikamaru" Naruto said, stopping a foot or two away from the male. "A few people put some flowers on Jiraiya's grave.." Shikamaru said, his voice gentle. "Thanks.." Naruto said, smiling before walking past the male.

.:Sasuke's POV:.

I couldn't get the image of Naruto's body out of my mind, not even when I was in bed with a female. All I could think about was the way his body was perfectly constructed, no flaws what so ever. I was lusting after the blonde, without even realizing it.

"Mmm, Sasuke.." Sakura moaned, grinding down against the raven who was seated against the headboard of the bed. "Hey, Sakura!" a voice called through her apartment door as she quickly got off of Sasuke. She wrapped a sheet around herself and went to the door, opening it as Naruto smiled. "What's up, wanna come for some ramen?" he asked, looking in behind her as he froze. "Or not.." he snarled as Sasuke came up behind Sakura, his slate eyes flashing darkly. "Uhh.. sorry Naruto" Sakura said, her cheeks turning a soft red as she watched him walk down the stairs. "Sasuke?" Sakura said, looking away from Naruto as she watched the male quickly get dressed. "I have some things to take care of" Sasuke said, walking past Sakura as he hurried down the stairs after Naruto. "Ookay.." Sakura growled, walking back into her apartment as she slammed the door. "Hey, Naruto!" Sasuke called from behind the blonde who kept walking, his fists clenched in anger. "Go back to Sakura, seems you two were having a swell time" Naruto spat and turned as Sasuke grabbed his arm. His body was spun around, his blue eyes widening somewhat as he was now inches from the raven's pale face.

.:Naruto's POV:.

I could feel his slate eyes burning through my blue ones, it was.. alluring. It was like the world stopped moving, and only us two were the ones in it. I swear I could have seen him make a move to kiss me but then again, that could just be my imagination. Still, I wouldn't mind kissing those ice cold lips.. One last time.

"What?" Naruto said, his voice dark as he eyed Sasuke. "Listen, I'm sorry about mocking you earlier.." he said, his voice almost sympathetic. "Sure you are, bastard" Naruto growled, ripping his arm free of Sasuke's grip as he turned to the right, heading for Ichiraku ramen. "I really am!" Sasuke said, running after him. "Prove it" Naruto said, looking back at the raven who stopped. "How?" he asked, coming up next to Naruto who shrugged. "Buy me all the ramen I want" he said, taking a seat on a stool as Sasuke sighed. "Fine.." he said, taking a seat next to him. "You know what I like, old man!" Naruto exclaimed to the guy who nodded with a smile, getting to work on preparing the ramen. "It's not like you to be so selfless" Naruto said through bites of his ramen as he looked over at Sasuke. "Just shut up and eat, loser" the raven responded with a frown. "Whatever" Naruto laughed a bit, tipping the bowl up to his mouth as he happily drank back the broth. "It's amazing how you can eat so much.." Sasuke said with the shake of his head, smirking to Naruto's annoyed expression.

"Ohh, hello you two!" a girly voice came from behind the two as they turned, looking to Ino. "Fancy seeing you two here, at the same time" she said, taking a seat next to Sasuke who sighed lightly. "Hmm, something wrong?" Ino asked Sasuke who shook his head, looking back to Naruto. "Hii Ino!" the blonde smiled then turned his attention to yet another bowl of ramen. "Oh Sasuke, I was wondering if you wanted to come over tonight?" Ino asked hopefully, watching Sasuke closely. "Uhh.." the raven began to speak before Ino kissed his cheek lightly. "It's okay, I know you'll say yes" she giggled and left, leaving the male sitting in silence. "Seems the rumors are true" Naruto said, his eyes narrowed as he looked at Sasuke. "Rumors?" Sasuke asked, raising a brow curiously as Naruto stood up. "You're a womanzing bastard" Naruto said rather bluntly before thanking the owner and leaving. "Come again!" the old man called to Naruto who waved, disappearing in the crowd of people. "Here" Sasuke said, paying for all of the ramen as he ran out to find Naruto.

.:Sasuke's POV:.

That damn blonde really knows how to get me going. So unbelievably innocent then at the last minute turns into a complete asshole! But I guess I can't complain, at least he didn't want to avoid me completely. Maybe he likes me? Or better yet, maybe he's playing hard to get!

.:Naruto's POV:.

That son of a bitch! Sucking up to me like some child to their parent, how stupid does he think I am? Is buying me ramen really going to make me forgive him after mocking me constantly? Well, I guess but even so! I hate him, more than I do vegetables. I hate Sasuke Uchiha!
