Unexpected Guest

Chapter 1

The door was unlocked.

This was the first thing that 26 year old Sasuke Uchiha noticed upon returning to his apartment after a long night at the office. He had been meeting with a client relating to his current case and was coming home later than normal. After parking his Audi, he had walked up to the floor with his flat and…opened the door. Without unlocking it.

The second thing he noticed was that the lights were on. Quietly putting his brief case and keys down on the table by the door, he silently made his way into the living room when there was a bang down the hall on his right. Turning, he walked down the hall, expecting to find some stupid kid or burglar lurking around. Finding his office door open, Sasuke crept towards it when a mop of bright yellow hair suddenly thrust itself out the doorway, facing him.

"Finally! I thought you'd never get home Teme. What the hell took you so long?!"

Angry blue eyes glared at him, waiting for a response. But all Sasuke could do was stare at the face he hadn't seen for at least five years. Golden tan skin scrunched up in displeasure, emphasizing three, whisker-like scars on each cheek. He had a strait nose, high cheek bones, and handsome features that were currently frowning at him, upset over something.

"Naruto...?" He asked, not letting his confusion show but asking the question all the same. This was quite a shock after all.

Blinking suddenly, Naruto Uzumaki straitened and moved out of the doorway to stand directly in front of him. Grinning sheepishly, his anger forgotten, the blond scratched behind his head.

"Sorry, I guess I forgot to call or anything. Nice to see you again Sasuke."

"Dobe. What are you doing here? And how did you get into my apartment?"

"Hey! Don't call me that you ass! And I picked the lock. Duh," He said, as though that should have been blatantly obvious. Well, it wasn't like he had a key or anything.

Sasuke glared, tilting his head to the side. "You still haven't told me what you're doing here."

"Oh! Right… Eh, well you see… uh, I kind of need a place to stay…?" Naruto was shifting from foot to foot, still scratching the back of his head, obviously uncomfortable. Hmm…

"And you decided to break into my apartment at 12 at night instead of calling because…" Sasuke let his question trail off, raising one black eye brow.

"Er, well it was kind of a spur of the moment thing… You see, I'm in town for work and didn't want to pay to stay in a hotel so…I came here. You did say that I should come to you if I ever needed anything." He said, almost defensively, as though part of this was my fault. I glared harder.

"I didn't mean show up at my house without any warning and break in."

"Well, I lost your number so I couldn't exactly call!" he huffed.

"That's not my fault, now is it Dobe? You shouldn't have barged into my home," Sasuke snapped. He couldn't help it. The surprise of seeing Naruto after so long and the stress from before made him snippy.

Naruto opened his mouth, as if to retort, but shut it suddenly, shaking his head. He sighed, sounding tired and old all a sudden. "Forget it… Look, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have broken into your house, your right. But really do need a place to stay. Do you mind?"

Eyes widening the smallest fraction, anger forgotten, Sasuke looked Naruto over again. Something definitely not right. Naruto is NOT calm and reasonable, so why is he acting like it all of a sudden? Black eyes narrowed again as they saw little things that he hadn't picked up on before. Naruto's T-shirt, still clinging to him like a second skin, seemed looser somehow, like the dobe had lost weight. His eyes were sunken and a blue more dull than he remembered. His hair, normally jutting out in every direction was slightly limp, somehow less golden and chaotic than before…

Something was definitely wrong.

"Dobe… Why are you here?" Sasuke asked slowly, leaning against the wall.

Naruto looked away from those all too observant eyes, shoulders slumping slightly. He took a deep breath. "Look, I'm really tired… I flew in at 4 this morning and have been running all over town since. We can talk tomorrow but can I crash here please? I'd really rather not stay in a hotel."

After looking searchingly at his face for a few moments, Sasuke nodded slowly. "Yeah. Come on, the guest room's right next door."

Grinning, Naruto scratched his head. "Yeah, I know… My stuff's already in there. I just have to unpack now."

Sasuke twitched at the about face. Was he just playing me so he could stay here? Watching as younger man made his way passed him, he shook his head. No, there's definitely something off… I guess I'll find out tomorrow…

Bacon was the first thing he noticed upon waking.

Someone was cooking bacon. And it smelled good! Groaning, 25 year-old Naruto pushed himself off of the oh-so-comfortable bed in the guest room of Sasuke's pent-house "apartment". If you could even call it that. Apartments were supposed to be small. This one most certainly was not.

Psh, trust Sasuke to get a huge 9 room house and call it an apartment. Rich bastard… The loud rumble of his stomach brought him back to the reason he'd woken up in the first place. Food. Stretching, he padded over to his suit case to put on a shirt and jeans. Somehow, he didn't think the Teme would like it if he came out in just his boxers…

Biting his lip, he recalled their encounter last night. As sleep deprived as he was, he'd gotten impatient with Sasuke, letting all his guards down, and now that bastard was suspicious. That wasn't good. He didn't want the jerk poking his nose where it didn't belong. Not right now, with everything that was happening. He wouldn't be able to handle it.

Cracking his neck, he opened the door, walking down the hallway and into the living room before turning into the kitchen. Sasuke was in dark, casual slacks and a dark blue button-down that hugged his form very nicely. Whistling a short tune, he moved over to sink where mug were lying out to dry on a dish rack. Grabbing one, he poured himself a fresh cup of coffee from the pot by the stove. After adding four spoons of sugar and lots of milk from the fridge, he sat down at the island/bar that occupied the center of the room. Sasuke turned around just then, dividing up the bacon onto two plates, already filled with fried eggs and toast.

"Wow, nice Teme. Thanks," Naruto said before digging in to the hot food.

"Hn. I figured that after you're done, we could talk about your sudden appearance and why it is that you're in town for the first time in five-odd years. Just to start off,' He stated nonchalantly, grabbing his own cup of coffee. Leaving it black he moved to sit next to the blonde man, noting the way he suddenly slowed in chewing and became more serious.

After a moment, he spoke. "That's a little difficult to explain Sasuke. A few things have happened while I was away…" He said the words slowly, as though he was being careful in his wording.

Sasuke stiffened, "'While you were away'? Is that what you call it? You disappeared, Dobe. Off the face of the planet, and no one could find you. Were you ever planning on coming back? Obviously, you're not here just to say hi. So what is it?"

Naruto sighed, putting down his fork and turning to face him fully. "Look, I wish things were different, okay? I'm sorry I did that… But I had my reasons. And I have my reasons now for coming back…"

"Spit it out, Naruto. This is getting irritating"

Naruto swallowed thickly before giving him a look that was almost pity. The next words, however made him understand why, and he was stilled by shock, fear, and a whirlwind of other emotions.

"Orochimaru is back."
