First of all! I've always wanted to write a SasuNaru fic, I just never had any big ideas for it, 'til now! Muawahahaha!

Ahem…

I want to start off with a bang [or one or two oneshots] and I really want this story to be a heart grabbing love story, & the way I do that is with patient readers. Namely you -point point-.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Naruto Shippuden, if I did I'd run all my episodes by my fans before making it an official episode.

So please, enjoy.

When I was younger I saw

My daddy cry. . .and curse at the wind.

-Paramore-

Ch.1 ExCepTion.

"Daddy."

But Daddy couldn't hear me outside of our rocket -well…lately Daddy had been calling it the 'car'-'cause it was raining outside.

I could barely see what Daddy was doing through the foggy window if not for the white light flashing, but I already knew.

He was celebrating his an Momma's anniversary.

Daddy was still in the same position though, hunched over in the muddy ground of Momma's grave, one hand on her pretty stone and the other resting by his side gripping a clear bottle of the sour smelling stuff inside.

I grabbed the big umbrella and got out, being careful not to trample any of the flowers me and Momma'suke (Momma's best friend, my god Momma) planted when I was five(But I'm 8 now, a big boy.) and stood behind Daddy, shielding him with the big umbrella.

"Daddy its time ta' go. Its 12'o'clock." I had promised to tell him when their anniversary was over or else we'd spend the night again.

Daddy always looked kinda ghosty afterwards.

His face would be all pale'n his eyes would be less bright. It'd take a lotta tickling to get regular Daddy back.

"Naruto." Daddy looked up in surprise, when he was with Momma they kinda forgot I was there, but then he'd look at me with a smile.

"Naruto, say night to Mom."

I walked up to Momma's stone and kissed the top lightly. "Night Momma." Then I added quietly, "Don't worry Momma, I'll love Daddy some more. Today he almost forgot about coming."

I handed Daddy the umbrella, he took my hand, we walked to the car-rocket.

When I was seven, Momma died. Everyone I asked told me it was a 'birth defect' (I only get that it must've been pretty nasty 'cause they all get a mean look on their face.) but I remember all my visits to the hospital.

"Momma is gonna go away soon."

A redheaded beauty spoke softly to her lil'fluffball. He shifted in her covered lap.

"Is't 'cause of your 'birth detect'?"

Despite the seriousness in those big, cornflower blue eyes, Kushina laughed at her little baby. Naruto pouted.

000000000000000oooooo

"I need you to do something for me, Naru-chan."

The six year old boy snuggled into his Momma's warm belly, playing with a strand of the strawberry red hair that fell from her hair clip, mewling in understanding when she poked his cheek softly.

"Hai?" He looked up with a big smile.

"When I leave, Daddy is gonna be sad. I need my big boy to help Daddy forget."

"Forget Momma? But-"

"Iie. Never forget Momma. Just forget all the sad okay? Only the happies."

Naruto blinked.

"Can you do that for Momma?"

"Hai!" He bounced on the hospital bed excitedly

"Promise? You'll never give up?" Kushina smiled, getting him riled up.

Naruto grinned, eyes closed, arms crossed, "I never go back on my word."

He bounced over to Kushina's open arms and fell into a hug. He liked the snug fit, nuzzling into her when a few droplets fell into his blonde curls.

"That's all I ask."

I sighed happily when Daddy's slender fingers ran through my hair. Using my awesome ninja stealth, I peeked out of my lid and got hypnotized in the way the red light colored in his face. I couldn't help but think…I really love my Daddy. That he's my favorite person and I always want him to be happy with me.

I found myself wishing for it.

That I always want my Daddy to look at me and no one else…but my wish can't come true with no stars in the sky.

& viola! Please report any typo's or errors I might have over-looked [as I often do]. This was the first chapter of Sex & Rivalry, I want the first few chaoters to reflect and tell Naruto's story up unil his present lfe at about 14 or 15 (set in the Naruto phase, not the Naruto Shippuden phase, just so there's no confusion later on.)

With each chapter I put up here, I also wanna try to write atleast 1 one-shot afterwords, just to get better at writing.

Kera: NOTE she said write not publish. Dont be fooled!

Traitor to the fifth power! -chases-
