AN: So this is A look into the Past's sequel, this story should have roughly five chapters. I really hope you guys enjoy it, and hopefully this will make up for being a jackass in the later chapter's of ALITP. Anyways, disclaimer time. Warning: This contains sex between two males, if you do not enjoy this then please do not read. This is a NaruSasu AU fic. I don't own Naruto in any way shape or form.


I let out a sigh of relief as the last student walked out of my classroom on a Friday afternoon, today had been a hard one. My students felt as if today was a good day to act like nothing but jackasses as they wouldn't listen to me, settle down, or even act like humans! I knew what was to blame, there was an upcoming football game against one of the hardest college teams in the country. It made every student excited because they 'Totally believe we can beat them for sure!' Ugh, idiots.

I slammed my briefcase closed with another sigh, it's been five years. Five years of seeing either classmates or student acting wild, five years of being alone...Five years since I left my old life behind.

I shook my head as I made my way towards the door, now wasn't the time for those memories to surface. The only time for that is when I see my shrink, Iruka Umino, once a week on Saturday.

I made my way out of the room and down the long narrow hallway, giving a polite "Have a good weekend" to a new pre-med teacher that was just hired, Kabuto Yakushi. He was a few years older than me, we haven't spoken very much but he was always polite. He wished me a good weekend in return before stopping to talk to a stray student that probably stayed behind to speak with him.

I walked over to the elevator and pressed the down button, as I waited I overheard Kabuto and his student talking. Usually, I never eavesdropped on anyone, but I heard a name that piqued my interests.

Kabuto clear his throat before he said, "So you haven't found out anything about Sasuke Uchiha? Yoroi, you're starting to disappoint me. I really need Sasuke's services, yet no one seems to know anything about him."

I tuned Kabuto and his student out as my heart jumped to my throat. How did Kabuto know about Sasuke? What the hell did he mean by 'services'! Was Sasuke selling himself again?

I shook my head slightly to clear my head of those thoughts. I had to stop thinking about him, Iruka had worked for months on me so Sasuke wouldn't constantly be on my mind. This wasn't the time or place for those thoughts to be brought up now. Finally, the elevator doors opened and I stepped in. I was about to hit the 'close door' button before I heard a shout of "Hold that please!"

I held the door and felt like banging my head on a wall when I saw who asked me to hold it. Kabuto walked in with an apologetic smile as he pressed the ground floor button, "Thank you for that. One of my students had some questions to ask me and I got all caught up in it. Thanks again...?"

I could tell by his tone that he wanted to know my name, but I wasn't sure if I could tell him or not. I opened my mouth, but faked a cough to buy some more time. Dammit Naruto think! This guy could lead you to Sasuke, but he could also be up to something. Plus you overheard him, his student wasn't asking a question, but again he could help you find Sasuke! Ugh! No tell him your name, it's like what Iruka told you, you're not a pimp any more, not everyone is a cop or out to get you! You also barely know this guy, he doesn't have to tell you the truth about everything!

I smiled sheepishly at him, "Sorry about that. I had something stuck in my throat. I'm Naruto Uzumaki, I teach basic principles of business here. You're Kabuto Yakushi right? The new pre-med teacher?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, but gave me another bright smile. "Yeah, I'm glad to work here. Most of my students aren't going to make it as doctors sadly. They're disgusted with the photos of organs or body parts in the text books, so how will they make it?"

I let out a light chuckle, "I understand that feeling. Most of my students are only taking my class because they think it's easy and treat it like it's nothing major. Just wait till they get their mid-term. You know what they say, payback is a bitch."

He just gave me a nod. Soon our elevator stopped at the ground floor, he stepped off with me, then turned to face me. "Well it was nice to talk to you Naruto, once again, have a good weekend."

With that he walked off. I stood there, slightly shocked, it took a second to snap out of it. I couldn't shake the feeling that something very bad had just happened. I made my way out the door and to my car. While I dug my keys out of my pocket I felt a presence behind me. I turned around and jumped slightly when I saw it was Kabuto. I let out a nervous chuckle, "H-Hello again Kabuto."

He gave me another apologetic smile and adjusted his black round glasses, "Sorry for sneaking up on you, but I saw that you dropped your wallet in the lobby when we got off. I figured that I should return it to it's rightful owner."

He held out my black leather wallet to me. I stared at him for a moment before taking it, "Thank you. I appreciate it."

He gave me another smile before giving me another weird look. I furrowed my brow at him slightly, "Is there something else I can do for you Kabuto?"

He shook his head, "Sorry I was just thinking about something else. No worries. See you later Naruto." He left without another word, leaving me standing there.

I didn't bother to see how far he walked away before shoving my wallet in my pocket, unlocking and getting into my car. I just sat there for a few minutes, I couldn't shake the weird feeling I was getting from this guy. Maybe it was just how he was, I heard some other teachers talk about how he was from the Mid-Western part of the country, maybe it's that. Hearing him talk about Sasuke, though, just drove that weird feeling deeper in my gut.

Still I felt worried, I couldn't go to Iruka till tomorrow morning and I didn't want to wait that long. Sadly, I knew where I had to go to get some type of information, whether about Sasuke or Kabuto, I wasn't sure...

I couldn't believe I was here. I haven't been near the whore-house in roughly four years. I visited a few times during the first year that Shikamaru was running it, to make sure that he and they boys could make it without me. I let out a heavy sigh as I knocked on the door.

A man with shaggy brown hair and strange red fang tattoo's on his face answered me. He started to say, "Is there anything I can help you with...Daddy!"

I cringed slightly at the old name, no one has called me that since my last visit here. I gave a kind smile, "Hey there Kiba, may I come in?"

He nodded enthusiastically at me, "Yeah! Come on in!"

He grabbed my wrist and dragged me inside the house. I couldn't help but feel a little nervous when I got in. I looked in the main room and saw Neji, Gaara, Haku, and two guy I didn't recognize. Kiba gave them a quick wave before saying to me, "I'll take you to Shika's office. What bring you here Daddy? It's been several years."

I chuckled nervously, "I have some questions I need to ask Shikamaru, I won't be here long."

Kiba seemed somewhat disappointed when I said that, but gave a quick nod. When we arrived at Shikamaru's office he let go of my wrist. "He's in there...It was good to see you again Daddy."

He pecked my cheek and left. I let out another soft chuckle, it seems like I'll always been known as 'Daddy' to him and the others. I rapped on the office door, it wasn't long before a man with spiky, black hair tied back into a ponytail answered. I wanted to laugh as I heard him gasp my name, "Naruto..."

I smiled at him, "Hey Shika, you have a minute to talk?"

He nodded, "Yeah, yeah. Come in please." He stepped back and allowed me to enter my old office, I tried to not cough at the heavy smell of cigarette smoke that lingered in the air. Shika noticed my reaction and grimaced, "Sorry. Do you want me to turn a fan on or something so it won't bug you?"

I shook my head, "Sadly, I won't be here long, so don't worry about it." We moved to sit down. I almost started towards my old chair but caught myself. We both laughed a little as we got settled in. I cleared my throat as I sat down, "I'm here to ask some questions concerning two people, Shika. I heard something at work today that worried me a little."

He furrowed his brow, "Okay...I'm not quite sure how I can help you Naruto."

I sighed, "It's about Sasuke and a man named Kabuto Yakushi. I overheard Kabuto saying that he was in need of Sasuke's 'services'. I wanted to know if you've heard anything from him, or if he changed his mind and started working here again. As for Kabuto, I was just wondering if you've ever heard his name before."

He frowned, "Sorry Naruto, I've heard nothing about Sasuke. I haven't seen him since he left. Now Kabuto...That name sounds really familiar, maybe he was one of my past customers. You can ask the others if you want, they might know him."

I growled slightly in frustration. "Dammit. I don't see the need to ask them, I'm probably being paranoid about it. I've been so scared of people finding out about all of this, so it's probably nothing."

He shrugged his shoulders, "It's your call. You know you're welcome here any time you have a question to ask, or if you just want to visit. Kiba and I miss having you around."

I smiled, "Yeah, sometimes I think that working here is better than working as a teacher, but what was I to do. I just couldn't stay knowing that I wouldn't see Sasuke any more."

He smiled back, "I know what you're saying. I don't think I would be able to work here any more if Kiba left, so I completely understand. Do you want me to show you out?"

I shook my head, "No, thank you. I'll see you later Shika."

With that I left his office, I quickly said goodbye to Kiba before leaving the house. That was a total waste of time. Dammit, I want to know where Sasuke is. I knew I shouldn't be thinking about him, but thanks to Kabuto, he won't leave my head.

I growled in frustration as I headed to my car. It was roughly 5:30 pm, classes normally got out at four and it took me an hour to drive here through traffic. I made it to my car and quickly got inside. I sat there for what seemed like an eternity just thinking. Sasuke was out here, in New York, somewhere and I had to find him. My life wasn't the same without him, sure I tried dating other men to get my mind off of him, but it only made me feel lonelier.

My stomach growling loudly snapped me out of my thoughts. I chuckled to myself, I had forgotten to eat lunch and found myself famished. I turned on my car and started driving around, thinking of where to eat, when a sign caught my eye. "Akimichi's Kitchen", that was Chōji's restaurant. I haven't been there in years, not since Sasuke and I had a fight there one time.

Quickly I pulled into the small parking lot, turned my car off and got out. As soon as I stepped into the building I was greeted by the chatter of some customers, and the many aromas of food. My stomach growled louder at the thought of how good Chōji 's ramen was. It didn't take long for me to find the large man with swirl tattoos on his cheek. I cheerfully called out his name, "Chōji!"

He looked over in my direction and his face split into a huge grin, "Naruto! Hold on, I'll be there in a minute!"

Quickly he made his way through various employees and customers, before stopping in front of me, still smiling. He pulled me into, what can only be described as, a bear hug. He patted my back as we pulled away, "What have you been up to Naruto? I haven't seen you in so long. I was worried something bad had happened to you."

I shook my head at him, "No, I've been very busy. I quit my old job five years ago, put myself through college, and now I teach business at one of the local colleges. How have you been?"

He gave another bright smile, "Well you miss a lot my friend! I got married, her name is Karui. You two should meet sometime, I also have a daughter now, little Chocho. Do you want to see a picture of her?"

I gave him a quick nod and smiled as he showed me a photo of a little brown baby being held in her mothers arms. I looked up at him, "Congratulations. They're both beautiful."

He nodded happily as he put the photo back to where it belongs, "Thank you. Now, what can I do you for? Are you here for some of my ramen again?"

My stomach answered with another loud growl, causing us both to laugh hard. He wiped a tear from his eye, "Go ahead and sit anywhere. I'll bring it out to you soon."

I nodded and went over to a table near the kitchen. A waitress asked what I wanted to drink and brought it to me. I passed the time, trying to keep Sasuke off my mind, by answering a couple of emails from my students. Eventually, Chōji brought me out a bowl of ramen and a white box of something else. I gave him a questioning look and he responded with, "I figured that you might want some ramen to take home."

I smirked, "You know me so well. Thanks." I dove into my food, basically inhaling it. He just sat there and watched me, then he said something that almost made me choke, "So where's Sasuke?"

I coughed on a noodle, he grabbed a napkin for me, and I took it without a word and wiped my mouth, "I'm sorry, what did you say?"

He blinked in confusion, "Sasuke? I asked where he was. He's been in here many times over the past few years. Hell he and another blond guy came here for lunch today. I figured you two were still friends and kept in touch."

I felt my eyes go wide, but I kept my cool. I had to play this out carefully, one wrong word and my past as a pimp and Sasuke's as a prostitute could be out in a moment. I needed to know, plus that other blond Chōji mentioned had to be Deidara, but what about Itachi? I coughed again, "He actually left a little before I did at our old job. I haven't seen him since, and I really wish to see him again so we could catch up. Do you know where he is?"

Chōji furrowed his brow, "Well...He never actually said this, but his blond friend mentioned one time that Sasuke and this other guy, Itachi, work at a private investigator firm. It's run by a man named Shino Aburame. To be honest, I got curious and looked up the place myself and found the address. If you want, I could give it to you so you can see Sasuke again."

I mulled it over for a moment, I've known Chōji since we were children, but could I trust this Shino guy? I didn't have many choices, throwing caution to the wind I gave him a quick nod, "That would be very helpful Chōji . Thank you."

He pulled a pen out and wrote the address down on a napkin, I took it and thanked him once again. I quickly finished my meal and paid Chōji . He hugged me again before I left the building. When I got in my car I looked at the address. It didn't sound familiar, but I headed there anyway.

When I arrived to the establishment I became worried. All I had to go on was the numbers on the buildings. I searched until I found the one that matched what was on the napkin. As I approached the door I grew more nervous. Timidly, I knocked loudly on the door.

I was answered by a man with dark tinted glasses on, and black bushy hair. I couldn't see his eyes, but judging by his eyebrows, he had narrowed them at me. He spoke in a polite, soft voice, but it still chilled me. "Is there anything I can help you with sir?"

I audibly gulped, "I-I'm looking for someone. I was told he worked for you. Sasuke Uchiha is his name."

He snorted, "Never heard of him. I think you're lost sir. Goodnight."

He started to close the door, but I stuck my foot in it, "Please! I found out about your place from a friend of mine! I've been looking for Sasuke for a long time now! I'm his boyfriend, Naruto Uzumaki!"

He stopped trying to close the door on me and said, "Naruto Uzumaki?"

I panted slightly from all of my yelling, "Yes! I'm Sasuke's boyfriend...Well technically ex-boyfriend since I haven't seen him in a few years, but you have to believe me! I can give you proof if you want."

He fully opened the door back up, "There's only one thing I need to see to know if you're really who you say you are. Show me your necklace."

I blinked at him in confusion, but slowly pulled my necklace out of my dress shirt. The college I worked at wasn't big on men wearing jewellery unless it was a wedding ring. I played with the blue-green crystal in my hand, before slipping the necklace off my neck and handing it to Shino.

He looked at it closely, it was getting dark and how he saw with those glasses I have no idea, but finally he smirked. "Well it's finally nice to meet you Naruto, you're just like Sasuke described you."

I felt hope rise in my chest, "So this was just a test? Sasuke is here?!"

He raised a hand to signal that I should be silent, when I settled down, he spoke again, "He works for me yes, and yes he's here. I haven't decided yet if I should let you in, though."

I growled slightly, "Why the hell not! Please, let me see him! I need to see him!" I could feel tears well up in my eyes, everything Iruka told me was coming undone, I had to see Sasuke. This evening had been nothing but giant tease and dammit I was going to see my Sasuke!

He let out a heavy sigh and handed my necklace back to me, "I would like to let you in, but there's some things in this building that I cannot allow you to see." He checked his watch before continuing, "It's fifteen minutes till seven o'clock, Sasuke will be about with those fifteen minutes. If you would like to wait out here, then that's your choice. As for me, I wish you a goodnight."

He slammed the door in my face and I was left crestfallen. I slowly walked away from the door. I tried to hold my tears in, but they just fell rapidly. I made it to my car with some trouble and just sat on the hood, crying my eyes out. I'm so close, but I feel like I'm being boxed out. How could I trust this Shino guy? I don't fucking know him! That rat bastard could be lying for all I know. Dammit! I'm such a fucking idiot!

I sat there for a while longer, just crying. I don't know how much time passed by. I heard a door open and close, someone shouted "Goodnight!", but I ignored it. The chances of that being Sasuke were so slim that I didn't even register it.

My neck snapped up with lightning speed when I heard a shocked cry of, "Naruto!"
