--Chapter 2--

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK, was the sound that woke Naruto up out of his sleep. For a moment he had forgotten where he was, until he saw a wide eyed Sasuke holding his knees and staring at Naruto like he broke into his house…well Naruto did break into his house, but that's not the point; it seemed like Sasuke didn't know who Naruto was. As if Naruto was a…stranger to him.

Naruto didn't like that look. "Sasuke? What's wrong?" Sasuke didn't answer…though the frightened look was still on his face. If Naruto could explain what he thought Sasuke looked like at that very moment, he would say that Sasuke looked like a little kid that had just woken up from a horrible nightmare. "Teme? Why are you looking at me like that?" Naruto at least wanted the boy to talk. "W-who are y-you? What are you d-doing here?" his voice was just like his look; that of a frightened child. Out of instinct, Naruto's voice became soft and as soothing as he could muster, "Don't you remember me, Sasuke? How could you forget your friend over night? It's me, Dobe." Now, instead of looking as frightened, Sasuke looked surprised, and…amazed. "I-I don't have any friends…Only niisan…" he sounded like a sad boy that had never seen the murder of his clan. That's when it hit Naruto; Sasuke had said…niisan, but Sasuke hated his older brother…

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK. Naruto had forgotten about the person, or people at the door, and before he could react, Sasuke had jumped up and ran to the door. "Sasuke! Don't…" the words died on his lips as Sasuke opened the door, shouting, "Niisan!?" Oh shit… was Naruto's thought as he saw a bunch of pink hair, and then a glomped and scared Sasuke standing in the middle of the doorway. Sakura… he barely saved himself from yelling at her to let him go. "Sasuke!" she yelled happily as she continued to glomp the raven haired youth. Sasuke, on the other hand, didn't look happy at all, he actually looked…angry.

Naruto wasn't happy that the fan girl was here, but he at least saw some other emotion from the teme than just fearfulness. Ummm…Sakura," he had to think fast, which, considering the dobe he was, was quite hard. "Sasuke's still sick, so could you please let go of him?" As if noticing the blonde for the first time since walking in, she let go of Sasuke, having not seen his face, and asked Naruto, "What the hell are you doing in Sasuke's house, Baka!?" her eyes were squinted into slits and she looked angry enough to kill with the look she was giving Naruto. "Well…" he never finished his sentenced as the raven had bolted as fast as possible out of the room. Naruto followed and when he saw Sakura about to follow him, he told her to stay behind because she would get lost. It was true, this place was like a maze to everyone and anyone who didn't know their way around, but being the stalker fan girl she was, followed them anyway.

They followed Sasuke for a long time before Sakura ran out of breath, and had to stop, losing Naruto and Sasuke in the process. Naruto didn't pay attention to her though, his prime target being Sasuke and not losing him in the deserted, but maze-like streets. When Sasuke finally stopped, Naruto found himself in a playground-like place, though instead of having swings and all those toys and things, it had a wide field that looked as if it was used for training. There were even dummies that Shinobies used to practice on. "Niisan! Niisan, where are you!?" Sasuke was yelling. "Auntie, Uncle!? Mother, Father?" Sasuke kept yelling out the names of people that Naruto had never heard of, including Shisui Uchiha and Obito Uchiha. Naruto watched helplessly as the frightened boy yelled for his parents and other relatives that Itachi had killed years ago. Naruto slowly walked over to Sasuke and pulled him into a small hug from behind. Almost as if he didn't have any strength to resist, or even move anymore, Sasuke fell back onto Naruto and began making small whimpering sounds. All the while Naruto was saying soothing words to him…He didn't think he could tell Sasuke about what Itachi did to his clan, he'd leave that up to someone else.

They were in the same spot for a few minutes until Naruto felt the weight on him get heavier but relax at the same time; he had fallen asleep in Naruto's arms. He smiled at the sleeping form in his arms and began waling back to Sasuke's mansion, carrying Sasuke bridal style…

Sakura, on the other hand, was completely lost. "Sasuke! Naruto! Someone!" she was dragging her feet and pouting to the fact that she still hadn't found Sasuke, and now she was lost. Could her day possibly get any worse…?
