Chapter 2: It All Begins

. . .

Lightning had shook the entire school as the two students glared at each other with yellow and red eyes. The rain poured into the windows, which the wind caused to open. Everyone was afraid, well pretty much everyone. Just as the one with yellow eyes raised a hand and punched the one with red eyes, a person with one red eye intervened. That's how it stopped. Class was ended early, and the chaos seemed to die down.

Somehow the four eyes returned normal, two becoming an onyx color and the other two slowly morphing into a blue color.

. . .

In the present, most of the students just finished changing and walked out of their locker rooms. Sasuke went back into the locker room for his pen and stopped. He saw the blond kid bouncing off the walls, literally. The blond leaped from one top of a locker to another then to a wall, doing back flips all the while. Sasuke watched the kid flip to the ground and stand there.

Sasuke first noticed the scars, and then he noticed the new looking bruises and cuts. Next he noticed the mark on the other's abdomen, and finally, Sasuke realized the other was completely naked and dripping from possibly the showers. Sasuke went to turn away, but the blue eyes stared at him. Sasuke lifted a brow in response. The blond's eyes widened, and he wildly grabbed a piece of clothing covering himself.

"I-I couldn't find my underwear." The other murmured, slipping on his seemingly just found boxers.

. . . .

Naruto had waited until everyone was out to take a shower and to then get dressed. However, for some odd reason, he decided to jump around. No one would come back in here, anyway. He jumped from locker to locker and wall to wall. Eventually, he landed on his feet in the middle of the locker room. He suddenly felt eyes on him, turned, and saw the raven haired Uchiha.

Naruto blinked, realizing he was completely bare. Scrambling for his boxers and slipping them on, he stammered. "I-I couldn't find my underwear." He really hoped he didn't see anything. He felt his face go hot, and he glared at the pants he was now putting on. Great, no one ever saw him naked, only his parents. He sighed slightly. He thought he heard Sasuke leave, then Naruto felt a pressure on his upper back between his shoulder blades.

Naruto whipped back his hand and struck the person behind him. "That hurts, butt hole," he glared at Sasuke, who was propped up onto the locker he was practically thrown into. Sasuke glared back at him, standing up straight. His eyes traveled to where he had touched. There was some type of swirling design there. Almost like what he had, except his was a different design, and he knew what his was.

Naruto had some type of symbol that the Uchiha didn't even recognize. Naruto grumbled to himself, pulled on his black long sleeve shirt, and left with the rest of his clothes in his hands. He stomped out, hearing Sasuke follow him after a few moments of retrieving his pen.

They both walked out into a blaze of white and black and people screaming. The white and black grabbed hold of Naruto and Sasuke. They were thrown into a tunnel of white and black, eventually leading to darkness.

Naruto opened his eyes and sat up with a groan. He looked at his surroundings. Wonderland? He glared as he saw the raven hair. Why the hell is he here?! When he stood, Sasuke sighed in his own standing position, which had him leaning against a gnarly tree trunk that belonged to a huge towering twisted tree. Sasuke also had a major change in his clothing. He wore a sleeveless dark gray high-collared shirt that was slightly open at the torso, a purple belt draped across his waist with a scabbard type thing of some sort, black pants, a cloth (the color of indigo) that started from his lower abdomen and went to his knees, and his normal dark-colored sandals.

Sasuke straightened as Naruto walked over, who had on what he had on the first time except the black vest-cloak was gone, and the white long sleeve had a higher collar and reached past his knees. The shirt was also open all the way down the middle to the end of the now cloak object (like a cloak does), and he had on a black and orange t-shirt underneath it.

"Do you have any idea how we got here?" Naruto asked him, slowly, and studied the other's reaction. Sasuke gave no response, but just a stare in his general direction. "Do you even know where we are, hotshot," Naruto added, getting slightly annoyed with the silent treatment. Once again, he received no response. Sasuke honestly didn't respond because he wanted to see how long the blond would last without blowing a fuse. Naruto huffed and stomped off. "Whatever, don't answer me butt hole."

Sasuke followed the angered blond, arms crossed. He noticed the swirling symbol was on Naruto's white cloak, directly where it was in the kid's skin. Strange. Naruto glanced back at him and glared. "What do you want from me? Find your own way out of here."

Sasuke stopped just as Naruto sat on the ground. With his head in his hands, the blond mumbled things to himself. One thing Sasuke caught was, "Now I'm really in trouble..." Naruto glanced up at the other male with a frown. The raven haired boy stared back, wondering what was the kid's deal. Naruto smiled thinly, which also seemed forced. "I guess I won't be getting rid of you for a while. So, hello, I'm Naruto," his hand came up.

Sasuke stared at it, making no move to take it.

Naruto whipped his hand on the side of his pants. "You don't talk much, I've realized, except to make derogatory remarks." He let out a sigh. "Alright... so..? Uhm, yeah, where are your parents?" His blue eyes looked up at the standing child. Slowly, Sasuke sat down next to him, still not saying a word. He waited for Naruto to continue speaking. "Well, have you ever been here before?"

"No," Sasuke, at last, answered.

Naruto hugged his knees. "My parents are alive, you know." Naruto looked for a reaction, but received none. "Many don't believe me, but I tell you they always find me. No matter what. And I know it's them and not my 'adopted' parents. My adopted parents are Anko and Ibiki, who have dark hair or no hair. My real parents are Minato and Kushina, my mother has red hair, and my father looked quite a lot like me. He had blond hair." He paused. "Plus, Anko and Ibiki are almost never home."

Sasuke asked. "What did you say your parents looked like?"

"My mother has red hair, my father looks like me, pay attention." Naruto glared slightly at the other, who was now standing. "What-" His eyes widened, and he jumped to his feet. There was two people in front of the children. Naruto backed up slowly, going behind Sasuke.

"Who's your friend, Naruto, honey," the woman asked cheerfully, while the man rested a hand on her shoulder.

"N-no one, m-mother," Naruto whispered.

The woman glared at Naruto. "Speak properly when I'm talking to you." Then, her eyes slid to Sasuke. "Sasuke Uchiha, well, well." She gave a smile and pushed her red hair back. How did she know Sasuke's name? Carefully, Sasuke took a step back as the woman came forward. "What a pretty name, don't you agree Minato?"

The man next to the redheaded woman gave a nod. He smiled brightly at the two children. Sasuke glanced over his shoulder at Naruto's slightly shaky form. How was he terrified of these people? They were better than his parents. Naruto's eyes widened more as Sasuke stumbled when something rushed past him. Then, Naruto screamed. When Sasuke regained his balance, he saw two very angry parents towering over the blond.

Naruto held his head, while in the fertile position. "I swear I didn't do it... I didn't, I promise," Naruto whispered slightly. Sasuke went over; he never thought he'd see the blond ever act the way he was now. How pathetic, he thought. The woman, no doubt Kushina, slapped the boy out of nowhere and yelled something quite vulgar.

Now it was Minato's turn. He kicked Naruto's side. "Quit it, and stand up. She is only toughening you up. Now stand!" Naruto gritted his teeth as his yellow hair was yanked upward by his father. When he put his feet on the ground, Naruto ended back on the ground by a hand at his face.

Sasuke cleared his throat to get the parents' attention, and for a second he did. They had turned to him with slight smiles, but after that they advanced on Naruto. Sasuke stepped in between them. "The wimp has had enough, can't you tell?"

"HEY!" Naruto glared weakly. Kushina glared, while Minato's mouth went in a straight line. Sasuke narrowed his eyes, daring them to hit him. Kushina raised a hand, but just before it came down Naruto pulled him out of the way. Sasuke propped himself onto his elbows. "Do you have a death wish, Sasuke?"

Sasuke looked to the blond's parents. They both could have hit him if they really tried, so why didn't they? Then, it clicked. They're not real, only in the blond's head. That's why they knew his name! He stood as Minato struck Naruto and went for him. It didn't connect. They could only inflict damage on the blond. Naruto must have noticed that, since he grew confused. Sasuke told him to make them disappear, or, in a way, will them to disappear.

. . .

Naruto frowned as his "parents" disappeared from sight. They weren't real. Thy didn't exist, so they were dead. They died from that car crash so many years ago. Naruto bit his lip, putting a finger to his bruise that was on his cheek. Then how was this here? He stood up, sluggishly. They aren't alive. He hugged himself, totally forgetting the bastard for a few moments. All this time-

Sasuke elbowed him in the side and walked forward. Naruto followed him. After a little while, Naruto noticed that Sasuke seemed to know where he was going. "I thought you said you never came here before." He eyed him, suspiciously. Sasuke completely ignored him. Naruto stated. "If you never been here before, why do you know it, hm..? Do you even tell a single fact?!" He gasped. "I bet you aren't even allergic to dogs-"

Sasuke shushed him, as he stopped walking. Naruto's brows crunched downward as he scowled. Sasuke grabbed his wrist and shoved him forward. Naruto stumbled. "Watch it!" Sasuke shoved him again. This time Naruto fell to his face. Sasuke sighed, yanking him up to his feet, and dragging him across the forest floor. Naruto collided with a root and clung to it. "No-No I won't let you. I won't let you touch me! Nuuuuu! I'm a fricken virgin!"

"What the hell are you blabbering about?" Sasuke pried his fingers off the root. "Let it go."

"No, you won't take me to your evil lair!" He grabbed hold of a tree trunk, shaking his head vigorously.

Sasuke exhaled sharply, leaning his back against the tree next to him. We don't have time for this. He stared back where they had come from and tensed a bit. He heard a weird sound, like something was whistling. Both kids looked at each other and saw a ball of something fly directly at them. Easily, they both leaped back to avoid getting hit. What approached them was a giant teapot with one red eye and had three legs that held it up.

Naruto tilted his head. He thought that Eyepots were located where the Mad Hatter stayed. Sasuke went for it. Naruto laughed a bit, since how would Sasuke know how to attack its eye. However, Sasuke punched the red eye, unexpectedly. The Eyepot reared back, and Sasuke dodged its legs. Naruto looked around, picked up a rock, and grinned.

Sasuke dodged another of the weird contraption's attacks, but as he went to charge at it, Naruto leaped off his back. A loud noise echoed through the forest as a rock Naruto had in his hand smashed into the eye. Suddenly, the creature slumped and then disappeared. Naruto beamed. "Uzumaki saved the day!" Sasuke forced himself to not roll his eyes. He decided now it was time to keep going, as did the blond, (since they both went to walking).

Naruto smiled, gleefully. "I totally saved your butt." Sasuke raised a brow at him. Naruto laughed at that, going slightly ahead. He ended up walking backwards. "Hey Sasuke, do you have parents?"

"I did."

Naruto nodded with a frown. He couldn't help himself. "How did they, you know, pass away?"

Sasuke stared emotionless at the other. "I had to kill them."

"What?!" Naruto blinked at him. "Why would you-"

"I had too." Sasuke's gaze traveled away from the younger one. "Just drop the subject and maybe you won't be next."

Naruto, being the stubborn child, stared him down and stopped directly in front of him. "What did they do to deserve that? I didn't even attempt to do that to 'my parents.' Plus, I will keep on bothering you until you tell me." He grinned. "Why? WHY?! Huh? Why, why, why, why, why? Hm? Why did you kill them? Why did you have to? Why? Huh, huh, huh? You could have lied about killing them. However, if that is the only fact you ever told me, then tell me why. Why, huh?! Why Sasuke!?" Naruto saw Sasuke's eye twitch, and Naruto continued repeating 'why,' while getting louder with each one.

"Okay, shut up already," growled Sasuke, making Naruto blink. The glare the Uchiha gave the other could have churned milk instantly. "It was either me or my brother. I decided," he let out a breath slowly, "that since he was just starting to put his life together, and I really haven't started living, that I should do it. Little did I know, his so-called job was to eliminate the whole Uchiha Clan. I ended up taking the whole job for him."

Sasuke paused. He glared at the ground. "Then, Itachi left me, probably thinking I'd go after him, but I couldn't... I can't believe he left me, after I did that for him. He's got some nerve." He clenched his fists at his side. "He's been off the grid, so I had to keep moving, searching." His black eyes traveled to Naruto's face. "No, I never thought much of adoptive parents, since they tie you to one place, and I can't afford to be 'tied down' to anything."

"What happens after you kill Itachi," Naruto questioned softly. "You'll have nothing. It's better to have someone, or a bond to fall back on. Life isn't worth it if no one's there for you, and everyone has someone."

"Apparently, I don't." Sasuke pushed past Naruto. He covered his feelings by growling softly. Naruto followed slowly. Sasuke rubbed his temples, while frowning, hoping the blond didn't see. He calmly looked over his shoulder. "This is where we go our separate ways." He left the younger child standing there, and he walked for a while. Stupid blond dobe... He stopped, hearing a rustle. Gritting his teeth, he got ready.

He had no weapon, and it was just sooo convenient that no rocks were nearby. He would just have to use his hands, hopefully it would a slightly easier opponent. He didn't really feel up to fighting at this moment, anyway. Something black slithered its way from a bush. It resembled a black slug the size of a grown man's torso, so definitely not the size of Naruto's (if you get what I mean).

Taking out his frustration on the weird slug creature, he stomped on its body. It simply exploded to reveal these weird teeth shaped objects. Now Sasuke wished there were more, and he smirked as he heard another, louder rustle nearby. Something came crashing toward him, and out of reflex, Sasuke expertly threw his fist at where he thought the head to be. It connected directly on its head, since the thing was human, and Naruto.

Sasuke sighed, crossing his arms over his chest and leaned back slightly. "Humph." Blue eyes narrowed at him as the blue eyes' owner held his nose. In Sasuke's opinion, he did quite a number on the stupid idiot. He would have smirked, but he suddenly left his feet and collided face-first into the ground. "I'm totally kicking your ass, Uzumaki." He stood, but wasn't facing the blond, but someone with dark hair.

. . . .

Naruto watched Sasuke leave, and Naruto turned the opposite way. He played with his collar, unconsciously. He knew Sasuke thought him pathetic now or weak, but he didn't really mind. He wasn't going to fight his parents, even though they weren't exactly them. He knew better. Probably unlike Sasuke, he grumbled inside his head. After what he guessed to be a few minutes, he saw raven hair, and he thought (for less than a second) that it was Sasuke.

Instead, the new arrival had on a black cloak with a white and red symbol, which was all over the cloak. Plus, the new arrival had scars or marks on his cheeks, not Sasuke. Also, the other was indeed older and taller than Sasuke. The figure approached him. The figure's eyes were red, like Sasuke's tend to do when he got angry. Naruto decided it was best to turn the other way. Time to leave.

Then, he felt fingers slid around his neck and tighten. The guy had black fingernails and a ring on his finger. Definitely not Sasuke. Naruto went airborne into a tree. Naruto leaped up to his feet. All those ten years of his mind's tricks using his parents helped him in that instant. He darted the opposite way from the stranger. It hurt slightly to run, but he was used to it.

He glanced over his shoulder, seeing the person walking after him. Yeah, I meant to put down Walking. Naruto picked up some speed, tripping a few times and getting to his feet. Wow, that guy was fast! He crashed though some bushes and something slammed into his face. He heard a crack along with the initial impact noise. Then, his butt smashed the ground, and out of shock, he narrowed his eyes.

He had his hand over his nose, just as the figure appeared out of nowhere and Sasuke went flying, seemingly from the figure's hand. "I'm totally kicking your ass, Uzumaki," he heard Sasuke growl. When Sasuke rose to his feet, he froze. Naruto stared between the two, as the stranger stated.

"Hello, Little Brother."
