hello! Imma back and I like to consider myself better then before. Grew up. Got a life...sorta, and brand new fresh ideas for my stories. I have been all sasunaru for quite some time and I feel it would be appropriate to write one of my own after all if your finding something missing from a great opportunity create yourself! hopefully my writing is better and not all fan girl fluff that's corny and pathetic that makes you was to puke at the stupidity. calculating how old I was and what part of the mind it all came from I guess I cannot blame those who write like that, but I'm saying I don't have the patience anymore. But! this doesn't mean I consider myself to be the best writer..oh hoho by far NOT. I wish I can only get better. I tried hard on this chapter and...granted it didn't come out how i really wanted but it's "mwa!" definitely in the right step
Do not get confused by the beginning and end!
Alternate universe, no ninja's, kyuubi, or sharringan's. Just some sexy Uchiha's and Uzumakis'!
Sorry! normally I'm appauled by some Sakura bashing but I must for the sake of this story.
Inspiration is, if it isn't obvious, from "what a girl wants" with Amanda Bines. I'm only keeping the story line and even then I'm twisting it a bit to fit.
Don't own nothin.
rush to review.
enjoy!
Sasuke looked to the recently acquainted teen sitting on the other side of his home office desk. Rather than taking into serious account of the news this determined boy dropped over his head like a 100 pound weight, that will soon reside on his shoulders when he does take it seriously; he thinks of coffee, and whether it would be a good idea to get up and get some right now. After all Sasuke feels like he is in desperate need to wake up from this nightmare.
A lingering taste which has yet to dissolve over the years tickles his taste buds when this particlar boy draws his eyes all over the room but Sasuke's face. A quick flash of blonde has Sasuke sitting straight in his chair. the audible groan fills the room like a tsunami wave making both occupants hold their breath and Sasuke quickly, though quietly, clears his throat. He vaguely hears the other do the same.
He noticed the stranger's leg started to fidget and tried to choose his words carefully, "I believe the first step would be wise to contact your father." the teens leg stopped immediately as his eyes filled with panic.
"What? I-i mean.. really!, wait please, before you do that!-..." his hands clenched, he was not having composure luck like Sasuke. "I know this is a shock to yo- wait...are you sending me back!" His leg darted out. Sasuke in return leaned back watching this display with guarded eyes himself. he gripped one hand into a fist on his leg, and the other twitching to tap the top of the desk repeatedly.
Taking a quiet breath to ease the tension after the boy completely threw it off the handle who was about to speak when Sasuke started again, "It would be impolite to make him..worry. I'm sure he is very confused where you are, especially with you-" he took a second to swallow oddly and looked down to his hand on the desk that was now threatening to turn into a grip. his eyes narrowed slightly and the taste wouldn't leave him alone, "...especially since you left with out notice." something in his voice made the boy lean back to rest fully on the back of the chair. A flash of a hall way this time and the feeling of panic threaded through his heart and Sasuke realized after 16 years he was not over it.
The boy spoke quietly this time, his gaze on Sasuke's hand as well which now settled into it's earlier twitch to tapping lightly on the desk, "oh... well I suppose your right. I have made wiser decisions before I swear, but you understand don't you?" this forced Sasuke's eyes to lift from his hand to stare at the same blue eyes... the teen looked at him desperately, "I needed to meet you, to know who you are now and if you are the same man I've heard about so many times. I've thought about this moment and what it would mean. It's a risk, a shock to you I'm sure, but a risk I had to take so I can stop wondering!" This time he really did reach out and grip the side of Sasuke's desk, his face looking at the ground as he spoke quietly though desperate, " I want you to be apart of my life! Please, don't send me back, not when this is finally real."
'to stop wondering would be a luxury'
Sasuke thought, but something about the words he said made Sasuke's heart flutter just a bit, he couldn't have known about Sasuke if he wasn't told... one of his "wonders" had finally been answered. he looked at this little boy who is so close to becoming a man and this time his heart gave a painful tug. Not willing to dwell completely, he stood from the chair which caused the other's head to snap up at once following his every move.
Walking over to the window, Sasuke put his hands in his pocket leaning a little on the seal as he did so. This position looked odd on Sasuke with his usual stiff posture attempting a relaxed stance. the other presence moved to turn in accommodation with the new arrangement. Sasuke looked at him calmly, "So..." Sasuke drawle, " You stated your name is Tsuki?"
The boy now known as Tsuki lit up and smiled a little, "Yeah." His black hair fell into one eye and tossed it to the side with a jerk of his head.
Aware of the name meaning 'moon' he wondered slightly if the dobe knew about his infatuation with it. "Were you born on a full moon?" Sasuke's attempt of a light joke.
Tsuki was puzzled for a moment, "I could have been, it's not a popular subject." He licked his lips and contemplated, was it that important? "Dad... well dad told me one time that the moon is the only one to see true love form. That could be one reason."
Sasuke's throat constricted a bit, a flash of one hand on top of the other basking in the moons glow. He nodded his head in understanding but couldn't help but feel that knife twisting in his back.
True love? no such thing. "So I'm assuming he... talks about me allot?" his heart beat sped up, He couldn't look at Tsuki eyes just yet.
Tsuki chuckled quietly, "I wont let him stop." a pause, "The picture I showed you earlier, I found it before he told me anything. Dad said it was during one of your assignments together. If I'm not mistaken, he told me it was while you were on a team with Kakashi." a noise of surprise caught is Sasuke's throat, that old pervert...Sasuke shook his head closed his eyes giving himself permission to remember for a moment, he hummed a chuckle.
"His time management was debatable of whether he was a good professor. Though, it was entertaining when he would get Naruto riled up." he said his name with out thinking, and only Sasuke noticed how he tensed up a little at his own taboo.
Tsuki laughed good naturely having memories of his own, rubbing his hands nervously over his jeans. His thumb came up and rubbed under his bottom lip as he spoke, the air conditioner grew louder through it's cycle, " Yeah, it was Kakashi himself who showed the picture to me when I was nine. though all he told me was your name." He took a deep breath and relaxed into his seat both knowing this was a little difficult to talk about, " I stole the picture from him...dad didn't take allot of pictures when he was younger soI had no portal to his past to ask about. No proof that my father had a life before I was born." he looked at Sasuke, "But the moment I showed the picture to him I new I hit the home run on allot...he...I-" he made an airy laugh, "It took him awhile to tell me anything, but I kept pursuing the subject. He finally told me on my ten'th birthday that you are his best friend and everything spilled from there. Ever since then I became obsessed on knowing everything about you and soon it turned into a journey to find you." he rubbed the back of his head, a gesture to familiar to Sasuke.
Tsuki is allot like Naruto.
The story touched Sasuke's heart and right then he felt the adrenaline to ask the most obvious question, the elephant in the room stomped irritatingly. He looked into Tsuki's eyes and wondered for just a moment what life would've have been.
'why didn't I know about you?'
that question would cause a domino clash of answers to keep Sasuke from wondering any further...instead Sasuke deemed the discussion for another time. Remembering the dramatic event previously. " I'm afraid I must apologies for my earlier behavior, you can imagine what any man would've done under these conditions." Tsuki smiled warmly and shook his head, a universal gesture to let others know all things were good. Sasuke also recalled the horrid looks of the other occupants of the house. Their expression when Tsuki all but flat out stated his purpose.
"I am also regretful to say that your appearance wasn't whole heartedly accepted." Sasuke jerked his head to the door. Tsuki bowed his head a little but smirked regardless. He shrugged and aimed his smirk at Sasuke, shoulders shifting to fold his arms.
"I won't give knowledge that I actually care what they think." Sasuke's heart quickened and Tsuki continued, " If I have a goal, no one will stand in my way." It wasn't the similarity in those words that particularly reminded him of Naruto. in fact there was more behind those words then optimism. Tsuki's face changed to show a boy who knew what it was like to feel incomplete. Those words were familiar, because he once uttered them himself.
At that particular moment Sasuke's 100 pound weight crumbled into a million pieces pulsing through his entire body. His soul, his mind, and his heart gave a violent squeeze at the same time. He felt like he was looking at Tsuki for the first time ever since he laid eyes on this boy no older than 16 and till this moment he kept associating him as Naruto's son. The weight of the situation completely dawned on Sasuke and now goose bumps were littered his hand as he went to take a seat at his desk. Tsuki squinted at him in concern and made to get up but Sasuke jut shook his head and breathed.
Sasuke sighed heavily, tongue glided over his front teeth as his eyes looked to the ceiling for answers. He heard Tsuki shift in his chair nervously.
"..Sasuke?" said person quickly focused his gaze on the boy. Tsuki kept himself composed but anyone could see he was struggling,
"What do you think..about me being here?" his face turned to scratch his cheek on his shoulder briefly in a nervous gesture than focused on Sasuke once more.
"Do you accept my appearance?" And Sasuke saw himself right then, the same way he used to stare at his father's back, and quite possibly...the same way Naruto used to stare at him.
Sasuke's face soften to almost show a hint of a smile, allowing an emotion that hindered any logical act, to slip through a tiny amount,
"Anyone who stops at nothing to feel complete...is worthy to be my son."
Before, When he saw Tsuki soaked all the way through on his door step he had a sudden chill of de ja vu. At this time he did not care what this insignificant boy wanted, because Sasuke was emotionally dramatic in his head like that. He almost pivoted to shut the door before Tsuki's face muscle flexed into the only smile Sasuke cared about. The great thing about the word "almost" is that it didn't happen, there for letting the latter action being attached to history for ever as well as the future.
Smile in place Tsuki, shivered non stop. Teeth clattering as he stammered, "Oh my gosh! it's you! wow...I mean, whoa I can't believe that I finally-!" his excitement carried him along as he expertly swung his back pack around to rest on his hip. It was difficult to decipher whether the cold weather was the only reason behind the goose bumps on his arms. Digging down to the bottom he pulled out a a crumpled thing, confetti of ripped paper and crumbs came along with it as his body shook. Sasuke stood in a stupor, rarely encountering someone with this much character upon first impression.
Before he showed Sasuke this messy thing he just flung out of his back pack, Sasuke let it drawl in his mind that he was either selling something that could lead him to the next Microsoft generation, which could explain...this, or he was just that excited to meet him. he tasted something vague on his tongue and his heart skipped a beat. To remember something like that in a random moment like this, He should have known in that moment. Sasuke was irritated with the boy already, but he let him get this far he might as well let this shivering child finish.
Tsuki was in the process of smoothing out the paper on his knees babbling away about something involving a bus driver who wouldn't let him bring his back pack on the bus so he had to walk 6 miles, when Sasuke felt something on his shoulder and found it was Sakura...his fiance. His stoic expression looked on as she took in the state Tsuki was in, who oddly didn't notice how cold he was as he was still babbling. Tsuki stopped at once when he looked up from his task eyes finding Sakura and her Vera Wang evening gown.
His smile broke when he already guessed the relation they had with one another. He looked to Sasuke feeling hurt and confused and Sasuke became very curious. So curious, and uncomfortable how much those eyes made him distantly think of someone, he simply let Sakura take control. Sakura was un aware how much her presence disturbed Tsuki as she shouted something in concern, grabbed his arm and all but flung him into the foyer area.
His shoes, like his entire body, was soaked and made the sound of squashing potatoes as he turned around to the face them.
"Iruka!" Sakura elegantly yelled at the bottom of the stairs and Tsuki was in awe about the echo in this place. In a few short minutes, a delightful man wearing an apron with a spring in his step and a smile that would have look beautiful if not for the strain affect it has around Sakura, came into the room. He bowed and asked fluently with much practice.
"yes my lady, what may I do for you?" his eyes focused on Tsuki at once and his eye brows rose to the sky, "Oh I'm sorry! I wasn't informed there was guest to arrive!"
Sakura's heels clicked as she stepped away from he stairs and motioned to Tsuki, "No Iruka, This is an un expected visit..." She stopped and stared at Iruka who just nodded and smiled warmly at the boy. Sakura reached her limit, "Can't you see he needs a towel! honestly Sasuke I'm more than sure you can afford perceptive servants?" she clicked her fingers at Iruka and had him jumping to retrieve the much needed towel.
Tsuki took a hesitant step back, the audible squeak echoed as Sakura turned towards him. Her earrings sparkled under the chandelier when she looked between Sasuke and Tsuki, "Now than, " her hands clasped together , "I understand you are here to sell something? though I can't understand why after all it's raining buckets out there!" she laughed conservatively, but no one found it funny, "You must be a very motivated boy."
Tsuki didn't like how pink her hair was but smiled all the same and shook his head in the negative, "No Ma'am, I'm here for Sasuke Uchiha." The name fell from his lips with much ease, as if he had been saying his name for years. Sasuke squinted at him studying his every move.
'familiar...'
Before he could elaborate Iruka returned in a hurry, he just about fell with a undignified 'eep!' when he slipped on one of Tsuki's puddles while trying to mummy wrap him with a fluffy towel. Tsuki smelled the scent of snuggle and regretfully thought of home.
Sakura and Iruka ushered him into the living room at that point with Tsuki sputtering all the way and Sasuke fluidly following. "I'm sorry I really didn't mean to intrude! well actually funny I said that because maybe in some logical way I am totally about to-" he was pushed into a plush couch chair, "possibly...intrude." he awkwardly looked at the three adults in front of him.
"So are you here from the magazine!" Sakura flattened her dress out a little, totally not into the idea of her picture being taken for the press...
Tsuki smiled politely, "No, I'm actually here-"
"no?" she was disappointed but perked up, " maybe 17 magazine?"
"Wha-? no, I'm-"
"Teen 14?" Sasuke's eyes twitched.
"Is that little league?"
"Myspace?" Sasuke frowned.
"do you get frequent visitors-?"
"OH! i know...Cover Girl!" Sasuke grew a vain.
"Enough Sakura!" Everyone jumped while turned his heated gaze on Tsuki, "If your here for a story, or a picture, than take it. I'm only ever willing this one time." his jaw shut and his stance stiffer than normal. Tsuki became nervous and looked a Sasuke. he was about to apologize and just leave, the idea of being a burden was heavy on his shoulders.
Now or never!
He reached into his back pack again and managed to calmly pull something out. holding both items he retrieved from his bag into his hands he looked directly at Sasuke, matching stare for stare.
"I already have a picture of you." He reached out and handed Sasuke an old picture, obviously bent and crimped from to much use.
Sasuke's heart stopped and fingers started to tremble as he looked at a piece from his past. He recognized himself immediately as well as the other companion in the photo. flashes of unruly blonde hair, stiff shoulders relaxing with soft whispers, an empty bed...empty hall way.
head snapping to the intruder, an emotion he doesn't encounter everyday bubbled inside.
"where did you get this?" he seethed.
Tsuki must admit he was not expecting a hostile reaction but kept his cool and kept eye contact, he will not forget this moment, "From Naruto."
The name felt like cold ice water which caused a prominent taste from before to spill through out his tongue as Iruka and Sakura were starring between the two curiously.
Sasuke's chest ached, he was coming undone in front of these people,
"...You're his son..." Should have placed it, those eyes were too familiar.
Tsuki nodded as he gained confidence by the second. Allot of questions boiled over and Sasuke was about to demand who his mother was, what business did Naruto have sending him here of of all places.
Sasuke raised his voice, "Is this a joke?" Sakura backed away bumping into Iruka who looked like he was hesitating to step in.
Sasuke squashed the picture in his hand, "Does your dobe of a father think this is funny?" he threw the picture down and stepped on it and Tsuki choked. "Why did he give this to you!"
This time Tsuki was starting to panic, "whoa! I need to explain!"
Sasuke's clenched his fist and turned away."Sasuke please listen!"
Sasuke ground out with his teeth, "Spit it out!"
"I wanted me to know what my father looked like!" the room was dead silent. Sasuke's stomach dropped and slowly turned around. He felt confused, Sakura just looked like she just saw her money run away from her and choked a little. she slowly tuned to Sasuke as he processed the moment.
Iruka felt like this wasn't his business anymore so he slowly backed away, "I'll go put the tea on."
"I-I'm sorry...come again?" Sakura chuckled like this was the most ridiculous thing she's ever heard. Sasuke couldn't possibly have a son!
"Yes it's true! I'm Naruto's son and according to this," he quickly scramble to hold up what looked to be his birth certificate, "I'm your son too."
His heart was beating miles a minute and was hoping Sasuke would react to this news differently.
He was right, instead of processing this information differently Sasuke couldn't process this at all. He regretfully snatched the paper out of the boys hand and looked at it with Sakura over his shoulder.
"There...this is a mistake..." blood was rushing to his ears.
"Yes! Tell me about it! Do you know the type of rumor that will go around!" Sakura, whose eyes were...oh so sweet before now settled on burning Tsuki alive, "How dare you show up here pretending to be someone from vogue-"
"-I wasn't pretending-"
"-and have the galls to give us this horrible lie! Your an imposter that's what you are! Only thinking about the money and how "cool" it would be if "daddy" was the most respected President of the Uchiha corporation!
You thief!"
Tsuki looked at her like she was foaming at the mouth.
"I'm certainly not here to cause a commotion in your home Mr. Uchiha..." Tsuki chose to ignore her focusing his attention on the now silent man who was stuck in the past.
Sasuke couldn't handle this much emotion in one moment, he felt defeated when he too met Tsuki's gaze, "I think we need to talk in my office."
"Dame straight we will! I'm going to get to the bottom of this and don't think for one second-"
"Sakura.." Sasuke put his hand up to silence the frantic women, composing himself flawlessly in mere seconds, "I'm going to talk to him...alone." he said the last word in a tone not fit for arguing. He looked to Tsuki briefly," me." Tsuki scrambled to get his things and left the towel on the arm chair before dashing to follow Sasuke.
Sakura stood there furious at this thing coming to ruin her perfect life. Iruka walked in carrying a trey of tea looking around for the other occupants, only seeing Sakura he kindly came up to her motioning to the cups of liquid.
"Would you like some Tea?"
Wow, so there you are! I was originally going to make this chapter into two but I realized you guys deserve it! Plus I worked really hard on this chapter.
