Sasunaru story 2
As soon as he heard his door close, Sasuke whipped out his cell phone to call his number 1 speed dial; a detective friend, who picked up on the first ring. "Kakashi I have a job for you."
"Ah, Sasuke, my best customer. Who am I researching now?"
"I only have a first name. 'Gaara'. From what I gather he has a fair amount of power and money. It could be gang related based on my information and intuition, but it could just as easily be legitimate."
"Well with an unusual name like that it shouldn't be too hard to find him. Same conditions as always?"
"Yes. I expect results soon." He clicked off without waiting for a reply. Almost immediately after, his phone started ringing. It was his supervisor. He groaned loudly in complaint before answering.
"Sasuke, where are you? You usually aren't late coming back from lunch."
"Something came up Deidara. I had to go home early."
"I can let It go just this once, but make sure it doesn't happen again. Be sure that whatever came up is resolved by tomorrow; we have an important meeting with someone Pein is considering as a partner."
"I'll be there." They hung up and Sasuke pulled two packs of instant ramen out of the pantry since they wouldn't take too long to make. As he prepared it he tried to come up with a plan. How was he going to get this guy out of Naruto's life? He wished he could just kill the guy and be done with it, but jail time wasn't exactly that appealing a consequence. Eh… he'd think about it later, time to eat.
He used his shoulder to push open his door since his hands were full, and when he did he saw a –once again- freaked out Naruto sitting on his bed talking on the phone. "n-no. I don't want to. I'm with… a friend. J-just leave me alone Gaara."
Sasuke walked over, set the food down, and snatched the phone away from Naruto before he was noticed. "He isn't going anywhere. Especially not anywhere you are. Stop calling him," he said into the phone and hung up.
Naruto just stared at him in disbelief. "I've never done that before."
"Why'd you even answer?" Sasuke clenched the phone in his tight fists. He needed to reign in his anger for Naruto's sake, but he couldn't suppress it all. As a result he'd sounded pretty harsh. This only served to upset Naruto more.
"It was a force of habit. And he would have just kept calling and getting angrier. He really hates waiting so he'd have blown up on me if I hadn't answered. See, that's probably him." He gestured to the chiming phone.
Sasuke checked the screen. "You're right." He switched off the phone and put it in his nightstand drawer. To Naruto's shocked face he explained, "I'm not giving him the satisfaction of me answering when I already told him to stop calling you. He can try all he wants, but he's not talking to you again. Now, eat your ramen."
"Ramen?" Naruto perked up in excitement and his eyes lit up like a child's at Christmas.
"Yea. I normally don't eat instant, but I had a couple in the kitchen."
"Alright! I love ramen! Gaara almost never let me have any. He said it makes my mouth taste bad," he said with his mouth already full of noodles.
Keeping his voice flat, Sasuke slowly spoke. "Let's not talk about him okay?" he sat on the bed next to Naruto and kissed him in a brief interval when he was using the chopsticks to get more noodles. "He was wrong anyway. You taste fine."
After that Sasuke choked down the food quickly. He really wasn't fond of this stuff, but it was edible. Naruto quickly finished his and beamed at Sasuke. "Thanks! That was pretty good for insta-ramen. We should go get some of the real stuff. Can we?" Naruto flashed Sasuke a huge grin and gave him a tight hug.
"There's the damn aegyo* again," he thought, feeling the blush rise in his cheeks. "Sure."
"Woohoo!" Naruto was a whirlwind. He ran to the front door, grabbed their shoes, and ran them back to the bedroom. Next was a dash to the kitchen for Sasuke's keys. Then he bounded into the bathroom to fix his hair, just then remembering his bruised eye. "Holy crap! Guess I need some concealer to cover this up." He started rummaging through drawers.
"Uzumaki stop running around like a headless chicken. I don't have any make-up except eyeliner,"Sasuke complained. "At least he seems happier than before…"
Naruto flopped down on the bed again. "Sorry, I just got so excited. And I doubt anything you'd have would be dark enough for me." He poked Sasuke's cheek, "you're so pale."
Sasuke grabbed Naruto's wrist. "Yes I know. Stop poking and put on your shoes."
"'mkay." Naruto started humming and slipped on his sneakers. "Can we go now?"
"Yea. Just let me grab my phone."
"No time." Naruto pulled Sasuke out to the car.
They drove for about an hour when Naruto finally found the place they were looking for. Sasuke quickly parked and they walked up the few steps to Ichiraku Ramen's front door. They were only a few feet inside when Naruto turned pale and started shaking.
"What's the matter, so excited you can't stand still," Sasuke joked.
"n-n-no." Naruto pointed towards a table in the back. "That's Konkuro, one of Gaara's men. They knew I'd want to come here. C'mon Sasuke, let's just go." He turned to leave, but was stopped by a strong grip on his upper arm.
"We're here to eat, so that's what we're going to do. They won't touch you as long as I'm here," Sasuke said, pulling Naruto to a seat in the middle of the room. They ordered as soon as they had huge bowls placed in front of them. Naruto dug in straightaway, but Sasuke was staring at the bowl.
"mussa mada 'skay?"** Naruto slurped in the noodles hanging out of his mouth. "Watching your figure?" Naruto laughed a real laugh. Sasuke liked the sound of it; honest and carefree. "I guess he's forgotten the guy in the corner because of the food. Cute." Sasuke smiled, "hn. As if I need to. I'm just wondering how all this is supposed to fit in my stomach, I'm not a garbage disposal like you seem to be."
"jus' eat it and I'll finish what you can't then, dork."
"hn." Sasuke picked up his chopsticks and started eating while Naruto was slurping away.
"This ramen is perfect, but I think I like the taste of Sasuke's cum better," Naruto said between mouthfuls.
Sasuke choked. "Dammit Naruto. Don't say that in public, "he scolded –once he could breathe again that is.
Naruto blushed deeply. "Did I say that out loud? Sorry."
"It's fine. Just holy shit; do you have no boundaries?"
"Heheh, I guess not."
A bit later they were finished, and Naruto had ended up eating most of Sasuke's as well as his own. Sasuke went up to pay the bill, leaving a bubbly Naruto at the table. Just after he had handed the money to the cashier he heard a scuffling and Naruto's voice muffled and grunting. Everyone in the bust place was too wrapped up in their own conversations to notice Konkuro and some other guy dragging a gagged Naruto to the door.
"What the hell do you think you're doing," he shouted on his way over to them. He was punched in the stomach before he even got close. He looked up to see a third guy taking a picture of his face.
"You shouldn't involve yourself any further. Naruto belongs to Gaara,' Konkuro said emotionlessly.
"Fuck you," Sasuke spat. The next thing he knew he was being man-handled out the door and into the parking lot. The fists flying, Sasuke was taking as many hits as he was landing at first. But they outnumbered him, and it wasn't long until he was overwhelmed. He was beat to the ground and kicked. He looked up, searching. At last the saw Naruto. He was teary and being put in the back of a dark car. "I'll find you Naruto. I'll get you back," he pledged.
Naruto met his eyes and conveyed all his fear, sadness, and love in them. "I'll be fine," Sasuke said before a particularly harsh kick caught him in the ribs. "I… I love you Naruto," he yelled. He looked up again to see the car door slammed shut in Naruto's face, and the car speed off.
"Aw, he loves the master's whore how cute," one of the thugs said in a mocking tone. Sasuke grabbed the guy's foot and pulled him down. Sasuke then blacked out. The next thing he was aware of was the attackers were all scattered around him, either knocked out or in too much pain to stand up. He got into his car and angrily drove home. Once inside he slammed the door shut.
He was in a state of utter rage. At himself. At Gaara. At all the guys who took Naruto. He put his fist through the drywall of the hallway; but he barely registered the pain. "How could I have been so stupid?! I told him he'd be alright! I said I'd protect him!" he punched the wall again. "God. Damn. It. I'm. So. Fucking. Stupid!" each word was punctuated by another hole in the wall.
His phone was buzzing from the kitchen, where he'd left it earlier. He had maybe a dozen and a half missed calls from Kakashi- who was calling again now. He answered with a monotone, "what?"
"That's no way to greet a friend."
"Screw you."
"Guess you found out Ichiraku's was crawling with people working for Gaara. They take the guy he keeps around back to their leader? I heard he was there."
"Yes, he was with me and they took him somewhere.'
"This is why you take your phone with you when you go places Sasuke. If you had it my first call would have warned you beforehand."
"Spare me the lecture. What have you got on Gaara?"
"You're business as always. He's the son of a prominent CEO. Basically he's been looking around recently for a firm to partner with to impress daddy. He's been looking into a few big names: Sannin Co., Akatsuki Inc., Kanoha Corp., places like that. He's been linked with a gang called "Village of the Sand" as their leader, but it's never been confirmed. However, people who cross him have a habit of disappearing or turning up dead. He's got red hair that he wears short and a love kanji tattoo on his forehead. Past employees say he's cruel and intimidating. Comments like, "his glare is like daggers piercing your heart," and, "he doesn't talk a lot, but when he does it makes your skin crawl," are pretty common. Besides that, not much else. Unless you're interested in his high school and college grades. I'd advise you to walk away from whatever it is you have going on with this guy, he's bad news."
"That isn't going to happen. Keep digging. See if you can find a weakness that can be exploited. Also, find his address, or somewhere in the area that he spends a fair amount of time. I want results within 24 hours."
"Yea, yea. Oh, he has a meeting with Akatsuki Inc. tomorrow, so you might meet him. Do me a favor and don't do anything stupid.
"I've already told you that's not happening. He stole something important of mine earlier and I intend to get it back."
*aegyo = generally pleasing and engaging often because of a childlike charm and innocence." Not surprisingly, aegyo is considered a feminine trait, generally attributed to women who can charm men and elders through a careful balance of sweetness, cuteness, poutiness, modesty, thoughtfulness, and submissiveness.
