I'm soooooooooooo sorry this story is so late. College was having a good time kicking my ass. I hardly had time to write and even when I did I was too tired or stress to. But I'm on break now and don't go back until January 4th so I have time to update a few chapters of my stories.

Songs I listened to while writing this chapter: 'Star Strukk'-3OH!3, 'Love Drunk'-Boys Like Girls, 'Rainbow Veins' and 'Fireflies' -Owl City, and a bunch of Fall Out Boy

Sasuke had been driving for hours. And he was now officially pissed the hell off.

'Goddamn Itachi!' Sasuke thought.

It had been a week since Itachi had told Sasuke about the position to be the prosecutor during the Niwa Konan's trail.

"The interviews start in two weeks Sasuke. I suggest you leave early to get acquainted with the people whom could you be working for. It can't hurt." And of course, Sasuke, thinking maybe for once something his brother suggested couldn't turn out bad, was proven wrong.

Seeing as he was in the middle of butt-fuck nowhere, GPS on the fritz, MapQuest and Googlemaps were either wrong or had coffee spilt on them, and it was raining so he couldn't seeing the road anymore. And the road wasn't EVEN a road. It was a dirt line. He was driving on a fucking line of dirt.

So to say Sasuke was pissed would be a total understatement.

And he totally blamed Itachi for this.

Sasuke continued to drive in hopes of finding some sort of civilization somewhere on this godforsaken patch of earth called Arizona.

…Or maybe it was Texas.

… Nevada.

Sasuke sighed. 'I have no idea where I am.' He thought. He went to grab his cell phone. Maybe he could call his parents or Itachi and see if they could navigate him out of here…seeing as Itachi had put a tracking device in his cell phone. He might have also put one in the car, but Sasuke wasn't for sure.

He flipped open the phone and low and behold…he had no signal.

Sasuke throw his phone in an irate manner on to the floor of the car. Now what was he suppose to do? And as if the cosmos didn't hate him enough his engine began to stall.

" No no no no…" Sasuke whispered. "Please come on baby, you can do it. Come on, come on." But the car didn't care about Sasuke's pleading and a few seconds later it came to a standstill.

Sasuke slumped down in his seat. "Okay it's not as bad as it seems. I'm just lost in the desert, during a freak rainstorm, with no signal, it's night time, and my car isn't working. It's not that bad. I. will. Think. Of. Something." Sasuke said to himself. He sat in his seat for another hours thinking of a way out of this mess.

He couldn't think of anything.

If he left his car, he could be eaten by some wild animal. It was still raining and dark out so he wouldn't be able to see anything and he would be soaking wet within seconds.

'Maybe I should just go to sleep for the night. I can go walking and search for a town that way.' With his mind made up, Sasuke leaned his seat back, locked the doors, and quickly fell asleep listening to the rain hitting his car.

Taptap

Sasuke remained oblivious and continued to sleep.

Taptaptap

Sasuke groaned. It was too early to get up. Five more minutes.

Taptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptap

Sasuke, finally realizing what was going on, sat up lightening fast and looked around. At first he didn't see anything and relaxed. Then suddenly, he sat up quickly, hitting his head on his rearview mirror.

"FUCK!" Sasuke shouted, clutching his forehead in pain.

"Dang, man. Are ya okay?"

And there, standing obliviously, was the reason why Sasuke hit his head.

"What the hell are you doing, staring into my window like that!?" Sasuke whispered in a deadly voice. His head was throbbing and he was really close to jumping out of the door and strangling this kid. He had scared the hell out of Sasuke, then had the nerve to ask "Are you okay", when he clearly saw him hit his head. No, he wasn't fucking okay.

"Well I was taking my mornin' run when I saw your car sitting here and people tend to get lost around here pretty often, getting sidetrack from the interstate. I thought you might need some help." The kid said cautiously. He had every reason to be cautious. Sasuke had been seconds from ripping his head off and flinging off into the dirt.

Sasuke forced himself to calm down and think rationally. He was hopelessly lost and this kid was offering him help. Why in the world would he refuse help from someone who was kindly offering and when he was desperate for help to begin with?

Sasuke gave a small, inaudible sigh and said, "What do you propose?"

"Well my town's not too far from here, maybe about twenty minutes or so walkin' distance. I can take ya there and get ya a place to stay while ya try to figure out want you're goin' to do." The kid said.

'Oh' Sasuke thought. 'That's a pretty good idea. I guess that's the best I can do.' "Okay kid, I'll go with you."

The kid scowled and said, "My name ain't kid. My name is Naruto and I'm twenty-five, so I'm not some kid."

That shocked Sasuke, so much that he couldn't keep it to himself. "Wow really? You don't look a day over sixteen." The kid… Naruto, was rather short, probably around 5'6. He had blonde hair, blue eyes, and was kind of skinny, kind of like he hadn't finished puberty.

Naruto blushed and said, "Yea, I get that a lot. But anyway, come on. We can get your stuff outta your car and find ya a place to stay."

They took Sasuke's stuff out of the trunk of the car and started walking.

"Where ya from anyway…um…"

"My name is Sasuke."

"Oh ok then Sasuke, where ya from?"

"Chicago."

"Oh, that's nice. Where are ya headed?"

"San Francisco. I have a meeting to go to in a week, but I wanted to go early to get to know the people I might be working for."

"Oh really? What type of meeting is it?"

"It's a job interview at one of the top law firms in the country. I'm a lawyer and if I get this job I'll be one of the most sought out attorneys in the nation."

Naruto looked at him wide eyed and Sasuke felt his ego inflate. It was pretty impressive…if he said so himself…and he did.

"Wow that's pretty nifty." Naruto said. 'Nifty?' Sasuke thought. 'Who in the world still says nifty?"

"What do you do?" Sasuke asked. Naruto had been asking him a bunch of questions and it was starting to weird him out. So Sasuke figured if he asked Naruto questions and he answered then he was just trying to be friendly. Sasuke wouldn't have to put him under creeper status.

"Oh, I just write books. Nothin' to fancy." Sasuke raised an eyebrow at him.

"What have you written?" Naruto blushed instantly.

"W-well, the thing is," He stuttered out, "My god father was the original creator and writer, but he past a few years ago. He knew I was finishing my degree in English at the time, so in his will he said he wanted me to continue his current book and its series. So I did, but I wrote them under his name. His publisher liked what I wrote and wanted me to write my own books. I've been writing seriously ever since."

"That's a pretty interesting story. So what series did you finish for him?" Sasuke asked. He was surprisingly actually interested. He really wanted to know what he wrote. He might just go a read it to see if this Naruto guy is any good.

Naruto looked at him, took a deep breath, and said "Iche Iche Paradise."

Sasuke stopped walking and he mouth fell open. "WHAT?!" He wrote porn?! Sasuke's Uncle Kakashi could anyways be seen with a copy of those books in front of his face. Hell, even he was guilty of reading those. What male teenager hadn't read at least one growing up?

Naruto blushed again. "Yea, I know right? You shoulda seen my face when I was told he wanted me to finish 'em. Just imagine how embarrassin' it was for me to write certain parts." He said, laughing. "So I take it you've heard of 'em?" Naruto continued, giving Sasuke a sly look.

Sasuke was thrown for quite the loop. "Y-yes, I've heard of them." Sasuke cleared his throat and continued to speak. "Which ones did you write?"

"Um lemme think. There are ten all together, so I wrote the last three, I believe."

Sasuke was floored once again. Those were his favorite ones.

"Well then," Sasuke said, "My uncle would love to meet you. He loved the Iche Iche. And his favorites were the last few ones."

Naruto grinned. "Well I would love to meet him too. It's always nice to meet a fan."

They continued to talk about the books until they got to a clearing. Naruto stopped and smiled at Sasuke. "Welcome to Konoha Sasuke."
