Chapter Two: Bye, Anko

Alright! It's chapter two! Sorry I haven't written anything… But, at first, I was grounded, then there was something really wrong with my laptop; but everything is all good now! Luckily, though, I've prewritten six chapters, not all of them are long but a few are. Remember Naruto is not mine but this story is! This chapter is M rated. Enjoy!

It's been six years since the incident, and now I am a ninja. Of course, I'm a genin, but hey, I'm only twelve.

All of Rookie Nine is meeting up for lunch today, so my big sister, Anko, is trying to "teach" me manners. "Naruto, when you're eating, don't pig out. If you do, so help me, I will bury you alive!" I shake my head lazily as I put on my headband.

"You do know that this isn't a formal lunch, right? It's just going to be friends having lunch." I start to put on my blue sandals.

"I know that! But, have you ever seen how much it costs to pay for you to eat the amount of ramen you eat? Let me tell you, it's not cheap!" I hug her goodbye as I run out the house.

I walk along the streets when the Uchiha estate comes into view. I mentally cringe as I try not to remember the night.

I can see someone come out of the estate and immediately realize it as Sasuke. I start to run to him until I see someone else escape the evils of the mansion like 'home.' It was Him. No doubt, but it's too late to turn back now. Sasuke had heard me calling him and is now smirking back.

I hear a muffled chuckle as the two Uchiha's come closer to the entrance, where I am waiting. "Um, Aniki, this is my team mate, Naruto. Naruto, this is my Aniki, Itachi."

I can feel his disgusting eyes roam my body before looking at my face. "It's a pleasure to meet one of Sasuke's team mates. But, I have a question, where did you get those marks on your cheeks?"

"I – I don't know…" I look away, feeling disgust. There was no way it could be anyone else. It was him. No question about it. But, why was he acting like he doesn't know me? Was it because Sasuke was here?

"Uh, Aniki, we need to leave or we'll be late." Itachi nods as we run off.

I look at the watch Anko bought me and realize that we were still going to be early. "Hey, Teme, why are we running? We're still going to be early…"

"Oh, sorry. I just thought we should leave because you were really shaking… By any chance, do you know him?"

I shake my head in response. There had to be a reason why he didn't say anything, so neither will I. Not yet.

Because of our little run, we are really early. So, Sasuke and I sit on a bench near the entrance. We sit in a peaceful quiet until I notice Sasuke quietly sleeping on my shoulder. It felt awkward now that I knew that my best friend and team mate's brother had caused me so much pain.

I can feel tears well up as I thought of those charcoal eyes. I wish Anko was here, she would be able to comfort me.

I can feel Sasuke stir as everyone begins to show up. He wipes the sleep from his eyes while I blink the tears away. "You better not say anything, Dobe." When he doesn't get a verbal response, he turns to look at me. "You okay, Naruto?" I rub my eyes to act like I had fallen asleep and had just gotten up.

"Naruto! What did you do to Sasuke?" We look over and see Sakura and Ino storming their way over as everyone else laughed. I could hear Sasuke groan next to me before I was thrown off the bench by the girls so they could tangle themselves into Sasuke's arms, where they are trying to get attention.

"Uh, Sakura-chan! Don't you want to sit with me?" I ask, hopeful. Her only response is her glaring at me like there was something wrong with me, but she didn't know what. Like usual.

"Yeah, Billboard-brow! Go sit with THAT loser, so I can have MY Sasuke to myself in peace!" Ino mocks me. Sakura turns her head sharply returning a death glare that could give Sasuke a run for his money.

"Can we go already? I'm hungry!" Choji complains. Ino groans and Shikamaru mutters a 'troublesome.'

"H-Hi Naruto-kun." Hinata blushes. She's the last one to join us. Awkwardly, I respond with a 'hi' before we start to leave for Ichiraku's.

Sakura and Ino argue over Sasuke. The rest of the group is silent, with an exception of a few laughs and jabs every so often.

I turn to Sasuke. "Can you believe Anko would complain about my ramen? Honestly, I'm still hurt!" I complain.

Sasuke smirks about to say something when Kiba shouts, "How dare she! Does she not know that you might be able to grow a few inches if you keep eating?" He mocks.

"Ha ha ha! I'm not that short!" I shout, defensively.

"Does your sister know you at all?" Sasuke adds.

I stop, stunned for a moment. "I guess it's 'cause we aren't blood related…" I ponder the idea. "Uh, does your brother do that kind of stuff to you, Sasuke?" I ask, awkwardly.

Everyone's full attention was on us now, for some reason. "I don't think so…" With that, the conversation dies.

We walk into Ichiraku's, quietly taking our seats with no argument. "Hi there! Hey, Naruto!" The old man greets us.

"Hey, Old Man!"I shout cheerfully, forgetting earlier moments due to the delicious smell of the restaurant.

We order our food with silence that is only broken by the sound of plates clattering in the background that is being used to make the deliciously, addictive soup.

Quickly and easily, I finish my third bowl before reluctantly stopping due to Anko's threat; she would most likely carry out if needed to.

"Already?" Sasuke smirks. "If it's about money, I'll pay for yours."

I turn to him, sparkles in my eyes, before lunging myself into his arms. "Thank you, Sasuke, I owe you one!"

"I know." He smirks, which gives off a hint of evil. I ignore it, it must be a figment of my imagination. So, I shake my head and order another bowl of ramen.

Sadly, Anko chooses this moment to walk up to my heaven on earth. I try to hide the bowls by making it look like they are Sasuke's as she walks toward me. "Hey, guys, how's it going?" She takes a seat next to me as everyone greats her respectfully. "Naruto, how many bowls have you had?" She asks, with a glint of violence in her eyes as the Old Man hands me my next bowl.

"Ummm, that's my fo-" I start nervously.

Unexpectedly, Sasuke starts to speak. "That's his second; you're thinking those other bowls are his when they're mine. We decided to put our finished bowls together."

She looks at the two of us not really believing it but deciding to just leave it alone. "I just wanted to tell you, myself, that I just got called for a mission. I asked Kakashi, already, to watch the house."

"I don't need a babysitter!" I shout jumping out of my seat. All eyes were on me, even though they were trying to hide it.

"He's not watching you he's just doing what I do for you. I don't have time for this! I left you guy's money if you need anything." I nod 'okay' and she leaves.

"Party at Naruto's!" Kiba shouts after Anko is out of ear shot, brining back my joyful mood.

"I'll buy the ramen! I mean pizza! Pizza is good, too." I laugh nervously.

As expected, Kakashi is late. When he finally decides to show up, I am alone on the couch, flipping through the channels on the TV. Everyone had decided to leave when we couldn't find the money and everyone was getting bored and hungry. "Hey, kiddo." He greets casually with a crescent out of his only visible eye.

"Hi." I mutter, angry and bored, refusing to look at him; but instead at the quick screen changes.

"That looks like fun," He leans on the couch, "Time for bed."

I sit there for a minute before his words hit me, "What? I didn't eat anything!" My stomach growls as an attempt to help.

"Fine, if that'll shut you up!" He sighs then walks into the kitchen.

Twenty minutes later Kakashi calls me into the kitchen to eat. He digs into his bowl while I just look down at it confused. "What is this?"

"It's called pasta…" He looks at me the same way Sakura had. Great. I sigh and dig my fork in and begin to shovel the food into my mouth.

The rest of diner was in silence as we both wanted to hurry up and get away from each other.

I walk into my room and get a change of clothes to sleep in for the night as Kakashi "orders" me to go take a shower then go to bed. As I begin to escape my room, all that crosses through my mind is THAT day.

I walk into the bathroom and I start the water. I reach for a kunai from my holster and begin to cut myself, digging the blade deeper until the blood begins to run down my arm before moving on to the next cut. I sit there looking at the beading, red, and thick liquid until I hear a bang on the door. "Naruto, are you okay in there?" Kakashi calls.

I shout "yeah" then discard the rest of my clothes and jump into the shower. I ignore the pain that wells up in the cuts. I bite back a scream and finish my shower.

Once I'm done, I gently dry my arm off and wrap up my wrist quickly before completely drying off and put on my pajamas. I quickly brush my teeth and wash the sink to clear all visible clues of my "fun" prior to leaving.

I walk out and allow Kakashi in. We mutter a "good night" to each other as we escaped each other's presence.

So that's it. Yea, Naruto is really OOC in this and it kind of upsets me… but hey, I should have another chapter up in a few! Oh, my sister read a fanfiction for one direction and the author gave me an idea for reviews, so if it's you or you know who, please tell me so I can give credit where credit is due! They said "For every review, I will post another chapter!" So, after I get to chapter seven I will be following that.
