Sasu/naru AU
Authors note: hi, this is my first fan fic =3 well that I have written all out, a have an akuroku that's on ch 1 of 13 and I don't plan to post till it's all done so I don't have many loop holes and such.
Any way I hope you guys like "Beached". I have had this idea stuck in my head when I read the title "Oceanborn" by Katsutoshi96, last week. The fic has nothing to do with merpeople but that's what the title made me think of. This was a one shot that, well, had way too much potential for chapters.
So Sasuke and Naruto (and Sakura) are in there early 20's in this fic. That's why Naruto has his own home. And I know I keep saying boy but I'm 21 . . . and I call people my age boys and girls. . . so sue me (please don't)
Also, a big thanks to my wonderful friend deviantART name "sin239697"

The storm had been raging all night as Naruto looked out his living room window to watch the wind shake the trees around. The ocean was black and menacing but Naruto was safe and worm under his blanked by the fire place. He gripped his cup of hot coco and took a sip before turning his head back to the TV in the opposite side of the large window. The room was large with a couch that sat with its back to the storming ocean. To the left of the sofa was a kitchen with a nice bar space to see intothe living area. To the right was the fire place which was ablaze, and next to the TV was a hallway, that ledto the rest of the home.
Slowly, Naruto began to nod off as the storm raged on.

A cooled breeze washed over Sasuke as the sun burned on his pale bare skin, coxing the young man to wake. The sensation was strange, and he felt dry as he began to open his eyes.
The sound of the ocean water pushing and pulling its way on to land filled the air. The sound was accompanied only with seagull's cries and the steady beating of his own heart. He could feel sand on his skin, and salt in his cuts and maybe even some bruises he had no idea how he had gotten. He was lying on his stomach, using his right arm as a pillow when he came to.
Slowly, Sasuke lifted his head as he wondered where he was. Looking at the sand around him and the boulders to his right, his heart began to quicken. Why was he on land? More importantly, how long had he been on land?
The shock sent adrenalin coursing through his veins as he shoved himself off the ground only to find himself once again reunited with the sand. His eyebrows knit together as he wondered for a moment what had just happened. With a sudden realization, he back to his lower body to find his body was different. Instead of his sleek black fin with enviably shiny scales, he had two limbs. They seemed longer than his arms and also seemed to function in a different manor.
'Great, just great' Sasuke thought to himself as he tried once again to get up. The hind limbs were too long for him to have to be on all four,but if he bent the hind limbs, he found he could crawl on his knees. So with a way to move, Sasuke made his way awkwardly to the water stopping when touched the water. He sat himself down on his bare bottom and hoped there was still time.
The water moved back to him, then away from him for a while before Sasuke accepted the fact that his life at sea was over for the next seven years. He was stranded out on land like a beached whale, with no way to return to the only thing he knew. His eyes gazed out to the ocean longingly, as a new sound filled his ears.
Laughter rang out from somewhere around a corner of the beach and Sasuke realized it must be human. The sound sent new adrenalin coursing through his veins once more as he crawled to the boulders hoping to find a place to hide. He knew he would not be able to defend himself in his current state. When he reached the boulders he managed to use them for support and stood himself up right.
Sasuke could hear the sounds coming closer and his heart threatened to escape his cheats as he moved faster. Working his way in between two of the large boulders, he lost what little stability he had and found himself stumbling and crashing down to the
soiled stones beneath him. His breath escaped him in a soft cry as he tried his best to keep silent. Obviously this was not his day.
The chatter stopped and Sasuke held his breath, hoping that if he were quiet enough they would not realize he had just made any sound. 'Go away, there's nothing here!' he thought to himself, willing away the humans. His body was sore thanks to the fall and he was uncomfortable with the hard cold stone against his naked body but he would not move, or was it could not move.
A shadow covered his back at the same moment a loud scream filled the air and Sasuke quickly shielded his ears from the sharp sound. The shadow vanished as abruptly as it had arrived.
"There's a pervert!" cried a female voice.
'Pervert?' Sasuke's eyebrow twitched as the word echoed in his mind.
"No way," said a male voice moments after. "What would a pervert be doing on privet beach?"
"I don't know! Do something Naruto!"
"Fine I will," complained the male as he made his way to the boulders.
Sasuke sat up as there was no point in hiding from the humans any longer. Carefully, using the rock as an anchor Sasuke went around to the soft sand. His face showed a hostility that made the male, Naruto was it, pause for a moment.
"Um, can I . . . um what are you doing here . . . naked?" stammered the blond as his eyes quickly scanned over the naked young man before him. Suddenly his eyes paused then swiftly shifted to a very interesting grain of sand.
Sasuke looked at the blond human and dryly told him he didn't know. The young woman with pink hair had kept her back turned to Sasuke, giving him the impression that he had somehow offended the female.
"Oh I . . . see, . . . ," said the blond more to himself than to Sasuke. "Then, where are you from?"
Sasuke thought for a second and voted against telling the truth, "I don't know. All
I remember is the storm," he said hoping the humans would leave him alone now.
Naruto's eyes wondered back to the man's body, this time making note of the cuts and bruises. Suddenly his eyes widened, he grabbed the females arm and pulled her away and began whispering things Sasuke could not hear.
"Sakura! He's all covered in cuts and bruises! He's hair looks like a drowned cat! I think he has amnesia! –gasp- what if he was on a boat that sank or something!" he whispered franticly in to her ear. Sakura braved a glance at the young man behind them, who appeared to be seething.
"I think you might be on to something Naruto, but why would he be naked?" she asked in a hushed voice with her back once more to the man in question.
"I don't know! Maybe he was skinny dipping in the boats pool; he looks like the kind of guy that could get some girls in with him." Naruto whispered back to the girl.
Sasuke just stood there, with his right hand on the rock for sport, scowling at the two.
Naruto looked back at the man, and suddenly the blonde looked like he had made up his mind. Briskly the blond walked back to the black hired man and put his hand out with the towel he had brought along to dry himself off after he had swam.
"Take this" he said to Sasuke who warily took hold of the towel with his left hand. He then stood motionless as he looked at the neatly folded of cloth in his hand.
"Well? Aren't you going to put it on?" Naruto asked impatiently.
"Put it on what?" Sasuke asked as his black eyes lifted from the cloth and bore in to Naruto's blue eyes.
Naruto's eyes widened as his face flickered to shock. "On what? On you! I mean, around your waits! Just cover up!" he shouted in a panic. The brunettes' nakedness was getting to Naruto, and he didn't know how to handle it.
Sasuke looked at the cloth in his left hand and then glanced at his right hand momentarily. Slowly, hopping he would not regret this; he removed his right hand from the rock to open the cloth. As he removed his hand he felt his legs begin to wobble but he was still standing so he then began to gingerly unfold the fabric. Suddenly, his legs gave out and he crumpled to the sand at his feet.
The surprise on Sasuke's face only lasted a moment before becoming a scowl once again. Naruto quickly rushed to Sasuke's side with worry clearly on his face. "Are you ok? What happened?" He asked as he put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder. Electricity ran through Sasuke's body from his shoulder and Sasuke briskly pushed the hand away. "Don't touch me," he practically growled at the blonde.
Naruto pulled away as swiftly as if he believed the black haired man would actually bite him.
For a moment the raven haired man looked at his legs then loosely wrapped the towel around his waist, and held it in place with his right hand. Then he looked at Naruto with an expecting expression he was obviously trying to hide.
Naruto found himself smiling at the young man as he stretched out his hand to him, "come on, let's get you in some clothes."
Sasuke thought for a moment as he glared at the human's hand. 'Well it's not like I have any other choices" he thought to himself as he slipped his ivory fingers in to the tanned hand. Naruto pulled him up then helped him wrap the towel tightly.
My house is just around that turn on the beach, we can get you cleaned up and dressed." Suddenly he turned his attention back to the pink haired lady and said "you can look now, Sakura he's decent."
Sakura turned to the young man and smiled, "wow, he's beautiful once you get the chance to really look at him!"
Sasuke's eyebrow twitched up irritably before he hissed "I'm not beautiful."
Sakura just smiled again the asked, "sooo, what's your name?"
He debated on whether he should tell her of just ignore her, when he caught the blue eyes looking at him hopefully. The raven haired man let out a sigh before stating "Sasuke."
"Sasuke," Naruto whispered to himself then he smiled from ear to ear. Sasuke couldn't image anyone smiling this widely before now. "My name's Naruto and this is Sakura," he offered as he began to tug Sasuke's hand carefully as to not pull him off balance. Sasuke hated feeling this weak, the inability to use this body properly was driving him crazy. As Sakura began to walk Sasuke focused his eyes on her legs to study the movement well enough to understand how to do it.
Smirking Sasuke pulled his hand out of Naruto's and began to walk. He was a little stiff and wobbly at first, but was soon walking as if he had been on land his whole life.
The home Naruto had spoken of was exactly where the blonde had said it would be. He could see the large window for the living room looking out to them as they approached the very elegant beach home. Inside Naruto led Sasuke down the hall next to the TV. The hall opened up to a space that contained pictures of the blonde and 4 doors. Some of the pictures were with an older man who has a scare on his face. Some of the pictures had lots of people including Sakura, but Sasuke didn't pay too much attention to the sea of faces as Naruto led him to the first door.
"This is my room," Naruto said as he led the man through the bed room and intothe rest room with a large tub and shower. Naruto turned the shower on and let Sasuke rinse the sand off his body as he disappeared back in to the bed room.
Sasuke stood in the shower watching the water fall out of the shower head curiously. Everything on land was so different from the ocean. He was abruptly pulled from his thoughts as Naruto reentered the room loudly, "here I brought some clothes for you, they might be loose but they will have to do for now."
Sasuke looked at the blonde who had entered the room now in more cloth. This cloth covered his chest so only his head and neck poked out, along with the lower portions of his legs and arms. He also held more cloth in his hands, which was apparently called clothes.
Sasuke walked out from under the running water and reached out for the clothes but Naruto pulled it back. "You have to dry yourself off first. What are you stupid?" Naruto asked in a slightly irritated tone.
Sasuke meet the blonde with equal irritation, and growled "I am not stupid!" then Sasuke just stood there, not knowing what to do.
Naruto sighed and handed him a towel, "Use this. I'm going to be in the living room with Sakura . . . just call me if you need something." He said as he left the clothes on the sink. Sasuke dried himself off then looked at the clothes. Great, now what do I do with this. After a short examination he was able to put on the shirt and boxers. When he got to the skinny jeans, Sasuke found himself once more on the ground after losing balance and falling flat on his back.
Naruto ran in from the living room after hearing the loud crash from Sasuke's fall. "Are you ok?" he shouted as he ran in. Standing at the door Naruto looked in and suddenly found himself laughing at Sasuke.
"What's so funny," Sasuke said in a completely passed off tone as he sat up. "Nothing, it's just . . . haven't you ever dressed yourself?" Naruto took in a breath as he continued to laugh. Finely catching his breath, Naruto continued, "You put the shirt on backwards and you were obviously trying to put on the jeans when you fell."
Sasuke had finally had enough of this human laughing over things he could not possibly know, so with a murders tone, he began to growl at Naruto, "I AM GETTING TIRED OF YOUR HIGH AND MIGHTY ADDITUDE. HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSE TO KNOW WHAT YOU DO WITH 'CLOTHES'. I'VE NEVER EVEN SEEN ANYONE WEAR CLOTH AROUND THEM BEFORE!"
Naruto's eyes expanded in shock as the raven haired boy yelled at him. 'How has he never seen anyone wear clothes?'
"So you do have amnesia then?" Naruto asked a little confused. "But then how do you know your name?"
Sasuke's eyes bore in to the blondes eyes. Then he sighed, 'it's not like the human knows I've never been on land. . .' "Look I don't have amnesia; I'm just . . . not from around here." He said in a monotone.
"Then where are you from?" Naruto asked curiously as he stretched his hand out to help the boy up. Sasuke accepted the hand and pulled himself up, as he wondered what he could say. "I . . . I don't trust you enough to say" he finally said flatly.
Naruto pouted as he heard this. "but. . ."
"No buts, I have no reason to think I'll be safe if I tell you."
"Fine. . ." Naruto pouted even more. When he remembered Sasuke was still not dressed Naruto smiled. "Here let me help you with that."
Sakura sat in the living room waiting for Naruto to come back after the loud crashing sound that came from the master bath. "I'm back," Naruto said as he walked in with Sasuke following behind him.
"Oh, Sasuke you look good in those jeans," Sakura smiled at the brunette. Sasuke just looked at her and sat down next to Naruto on the couch.
The two continued a conversation they were having as Sasuke was trying to get dressed, but Sasuke didn't mind. He just gazed out the window to his home. Slowly his mind began to wander.
A young child swam up to his mother and wrapped his arms around her. "Mom! Itachi fought off a shark! It was really cool!"
The mother smiled at the young boy, "Was it Sasuke? That's neat but what I really wana know is what you did today?"
Sasuke's smile widened as he told her about the adventure he and a couple of other merboys had in a nearby cave.
His mother listened intently as the boy dramatically waved his arms and fin as he got to the most exciting part of his story. When he was done the woman began to laugh. "That sounds like it was very fun, I wish I could have been there," she said as she began to make dinner.
"Sasuke can you go pick some sea weed for me?"
"Fine. . ." Sasuke pouted as he swam away to a nearby seaweed patch. He took his time gathering the amount of seaweed he know his mother wanted, stopping to play with some fish that were swimming in the area. After some time he figured he should go back before his mother got angry that he took so long with his errand.
"Mom, I got the seaweed you wanted!" He shouted excitedly as he swam in to the kitchen. When Sasuke got no response he began to wonder where she could be. So he began to swim around their home looking for his mother. That was when he heard the scram. Fear chilled his blood as he swam to the scream. "Mom!"
When he entered the room he found his mother and father in a fog of red floating in the water around them. "MOM!" he yelled as he swam up to her motionless body on the sea floor. "MOOOOMM!"
"Ke. . . Sasuke?" Sasuke was pulled out of the past by the blonde that had put an arm on his shoulder. The touch was so unexpected that Sasuke suddenly pinned the young blonde to the ground. Naruto gasped then in raged yelled. "What are you crazy! Wha'd you do that for!" It took a moment for Sasuke to remember where he was. Slowly he pulled himself off of Naruto and mumbled an "I'm sorry."
Naruto looked at Sasuke wondering just what in the world had just happened, when he remembered why he was calling the young man. "Hey, Sakura just left and well you look really tired too, I was thinking of letting you go to sleep in the guest bed room."
"Hun" Sasuke grunted as he glanced out the window once more.
Naruto looked out the window in hopes of seeing what the brunette found so interesting but found nothing of real interest. "It's this way," Naruto said as he led Sasuke back in to the hall and opened the only door there to the left.
The room was simple, off white. In the wall opposite the door was a window with white curtains, and a picture of a vase with lavender flowers to the right of the window. The wall to the right of the door had the twin bed and two night stands of dark wood matching the head board. To the left, there was the closet door and a simple rectangular shaped, dark wood colored, vanity with six drowse. The blankets on the bed were light lavender, like the flowers in the picture.
Sasuke took in the room and found it pleased him in a way. He moved to the bed and felt it with his hand assuming this was the equivalent to the soft sand he slept on in the ocean. Carefully Sasuke made his way to the fluffy cloth in the center, rested his head on it curling his body for a much needed night rest.
A small giggle escaped Naruto as he approached the sleepy brunette and helped him tuck in to the blankets. Naruto left the room with a stupid grin plastered on his face. It was like having a child or something I mean really. He didn't even know to get under the blanked in this cool weather. Naruto thought to himself as he stole one last look at the man sleeping soundly.
