Guarded Chapter 2:
Naruto walked sullenly into the big studio where the production of his new movie 'Unintended' was shooting, he stomped his feet all the to the set, knowing who was following him, and rubbing his wrist idly. Sasuke hadn't done any damage but his iron grip had left a slight throbbing sting.
'I take it back, the part about him being pretty' Naruto pouted.
The blonde looked at his wrist again hoping a bruise wouldn't be there in the morning, he would certainly kill the raven if he got a bruise. But that was no where in comparison to the bruise on his pride right now despite his feminine appearance Naruto could handle his own in a fight.
'Stupid bastards thinking they can control me, I'm not a baby and I do NOT need this bastard keeping an eye on me'
On top of his bruised ego, Tsunade had decided it would be best that Sasuke stay within a mile radius of the blonde, which meant living with him. Living with him he could handle seeing as his house was so huge he could easily lose the smug bastard within but having someone on his back watching his every move was getting on his nerves and it hadn't even been a full day.
He felt like a caged bird, with its predator stalking him from outside, he never felt completely helpless…
Well he wasn't completely helpless.
Naruto smirked, as soon as he had found out he was having a 'babysitter' he had thought of a plan to escape him. He was cunning when needed but the babysitter being Sasuke he would have to pull out all the tricks to get away from him. Sasuke didn't look stupid and would probably not fall for the old 'I need some fresh air' trick Naruto had used in the past.
This was war and Sasuke was his enemy.
Sasuke watched Naruto's devious smile, and placed a smirk of his own.
'Maybe this will be fun after all' he thought idly.
He always had loved a challenge and he knew from the moment he looked at Naruto that so did the blonde and he would make it very difficult for Sasuke to carry out his job, but that was fine for by him. He always got bored on easy assignments.
As Sasuke watched Naruto act, he was shocked at how natural it seemed even in the most serious moments. He seemed like he was the character he played, he was so into it, it was…outstanding. That was the only word that Sasuke could describe how Naruto acted, but the way he looked at this particular moment, was indescribable. This particular scene was just Naruto surrounded by a small flood of water just under his bare feet, the dark grey skies behind him were depressing, but because Naruto was in the middle of the scenery, everything around him seemed to brighten up. His blonde hair and blue eyes shone in the dimness of the set, his sun kissed skin brought your eyes immediately to him. Naruto was dressed in light and dark blues which only helped to bring out his tanned skin and his hair color even more but didn't out shine his eyes the dreary background and water only highlighted his beauty.
"Beautiful isn't he?"
"Hn" Sasuke replied neither agreeing nor disagreeing, his eyes never leaving Naruto.
"So you're his bodyguard" he let his eyes glance sideways to get a look at the speaker, a small pink haired woman about his age with emerald colored eyes, "he's brilliant when acting wouldn't you say so?"
"He's…very good" that had come out a little strained to the Uchiha's ears he rarely did give complements.
"He's better the good!" the girl beside him announced excitedly, turning to look at him, "he's fantastic, no one can match him. He's a natural in all genres"
"I don't care" Sasuke turned his gaze upon Naruto once more.
"Oh" she stated a little crestfallen, well Sasuke would have noticed, if he cared to look at her. But she wasn't his problem Naruto was, and he was eagerly awaiting his first move to try and escape him, so that there battle would begin.
"I'm Sakura by the way, Naruto's leading lady and friend"
"Now why would I care if you're his friend or not?"
"Well simply because I wouldn't want to be shot just because I tried to hug him, ya know?"
Sasuke didn't give an answer he was getting tired of this conversation and hoped that this 'Sakura' would leave as soon as she saw he wasn't going to participate.
Two hours later...
Much to Sasuke's distress, Sakura hadn't taken the hint and was still trying to get him to participate in her ranting. His eye had begun to twitch while he listened to her on going one way conversation
Then something struck him, where was Naruto?
He looked around the set he had previously seen Naruto at not a minute ago, he had been so caught up in trying to tune out the pink haired girl that he hadn't noticed him go, shit, this was bad.
The raven looked around again and saw a glimpse of blonde hair heading for the fire exit.
'almost there, hehehehe Naruto you sly devil, with Sakura talking to him he wont know I'm gone until it's too late' Naruto giggled to himself as he placed both of his hands behind his head and straightened his body, walking carelessly towards his freedom from the bastard.
Almost there…
Slam!
"Where do you think your going?"
The blonde's jaw dropped and stared disbelievingly at the arm stretched across the doorway blocking his way. He was too shocked to look up at the face of the person blocking his way but he knew exactly who it was, as anger replaced shock he looked up into a pale face that bore no emotion, then into deep black eyes.
'When did he notice? He was too busy with Sakura, that bastard!' Naruto tried to glare at Sasuke but to the Uchiha looked more like a pout.
"Trying to escape is futile Idiot. I know this place inside and out"
Naruto's jaw dropped and once again gawked at Sasuke.
'How? What? Why?' his head hurt…
"I was informed you would try and escape so I chose to examine the structural architect of this building to make sure there wouldn't be a place you could evade me" Sasuke smirked, the look on Naruto's face was priceless it was a combination of shocked and pissed off.
"Bastard"
The blonde turned around crossing his arms over his chest, he was so close as well. He started walking back towards the set with a pout set across his features, it was a reflex of his he'd had since he was young when he didn't get his way, he soon heard Sasuke's foot steps steadily following behind him.
'I'm going to have to be sneakier' Naruto grinned, 'the bastard won't know what hit him next time'
The day had gone by pretty quickly with Naruto making another 5 breaks for it, all of which had been stopped by Sasuke. Though the Uchiha had to give it to the blonde he was sneaky and on one occasion Sasuke had actually thought he'd lost him. Naruto had tried to climb down the drain pipe on the outside of the building only to be greeted by a very smug looking Sasuke standing at the bottom with his arms folded over his chest, another fact Sasuke had to admit that was Naruto was pretty cute when he pouted though he would never admit this aloud.
They both were now at a high classed club, with Sasuke sitting on a table by himself with a drink in hand, his eyes never leaving Naruto who occasionally caught sight of The raven from his table and flipped him off.
"I don't see what you don't like about him Naruto he's pretty cute"
The blonde haired girl glanced over to Sasuke, who seemed to change colors with the neon lights that flared around the club.
"He's a smug assed cocky bastard!" Naruto bellowed, over the roar of music.
"Yeah but a nice looking one"
"If you want him Ino I'll gladly give him to you" Naruto grinned widely
"Not a chance Naruto, he's your babysitter not Ino's"
Naruto turned to pout at his friend.
"That trick has long since worked on me Uzumaki"
"Nejiiiiii, that's not fair" Naruto whined.
"True"
"So you're going to make me suffer?"
"Seems that way" Neji smirked behind his glass taking a sip of his drink.
"Just give up and deal with it Naruto, your too troublesome" Shikamaru joined the conversation.
"It's your fault Naruto. If you hadn't started running off in the first place you wouldn't need a babysitter" Ino chuckled as her friend turned to look at her, his mouth open and his eyes comically wide.
"You're taking his side!"
"Looks like your babysitter is attracting quite a crowd Naruto" Neji stated, pointing a finger in Sasuke's direction.
Neji was right Sasuke had quite a big crowd around him the girls looked to be trying to get the stoic man to dance to little or no avail. Sasuke just looked like he always did not bothered by the amount of attention he was receiving from the girls, he just kept looking at Naruto, like he had done all day, those deep black pools never leaving him.
'He doesn't care that he's surrounded by girls' Naruto thought, 'he just keeps looking... at me'
He suddenly felt a little self conscious, but didn't look away he was captured by those eyes.
"He really is something"
"Huh?" Naruto turned looking at his pale eyed friend.
"He's really something," Neji repeated, "how he never relinquishes his gaze upon you. You've got your work cut out for you here Uzumaki" The Hyuuga stated before taking another sip of his drink. Neji wasn't really a heavy drinker, mainly because he couldn't handle it so he always took it slowly drinking an alcohol beverage Naruto had noticed how small his sips were.
His other friend Shikamaru, could handle his drink but was always too lazy to drink to his full, so he was still on his second of the evening, Ino unsurprisingly was a lightweight so she hadn't had any to drink and had settled for a diet coke.
Naruto stared at his friends for a bit admiring them, this was their routine. All lived busy lives but never failed to spend an evening together all had said this was because of him, he was the glue that kept them in contact. It unsurprisingly made him very proud, working in show business from a young age deprived him of friends for a long period of time and when he did get some he had always found that they were only his friends because of his status and for the spotlight. Friends…true friends were hard to come by in Naruto's world, his hyper activeness adding to his difficulty in finding friends because some people just found him unbearable to be around.
But these people, these 3 were his best friends, all putting up with his childish behavior, standing by him when he got picked on by the tabloids and through all the unfair humiliating rumors. All three even going as far as literally beating the truth into the editors, all three were very protective of him and his well being even the lazy Shikamaru had gone along with Ino and Neji on the little quest of truth.
He was very grateful for having such good, true friends by his side.
"Come on we have to go"
Naruto was abruptly brought back from his musings, he could feel Sasuke standing behind him, and reluctantly turned to acknowledge him.
"What?"
"We have to go" Sasuke stated dryly he never did like to repeat himself.
"No"
"What?"
Naruto turned back facing his friends once more.
"I said no I'm having fun here and I'm in no hurry to leave if you don't like it fuck off"
"We're leaving" Sasuke stated for a third time his anger rising in his tone.
"Make me – oomph – Hey!!"
The raven was never one for patients, and really didn't want to argue with the blonde so he decided on a more affectible way of getting Naruto out of the club. Slinging the blonde over his shoulder like a big lifeless doll seemed like an affective way to him. Sasuke smugly started making his way to the exit with a squirming Naruto continually shouting obscenities in his ears.
"Put me down bastard!" The blonde started thumping his fists onto Sasuke's back, which evidently was doing nothing. Much to Naruto's distress. "This is harassment!!"
"Hn"
Deciding punching wasn't working, the blonde kicked the raven haired man instead, receiving an 'omph' sound from Sasuke before the raven grabbed his legs in an iron grip and continued to walk out.
"Bastard!! Put me down!"
After getting out of the busy club, Sasuke flung Naruto off of his shoulder, causing Naruto to fall gracelessly on his butt, gaining a glare from said blonde which Sasuke returned full pelt.
"What was that for!?"
"Making me use effort in getting you out"
"What!" Naruto couldn't believe this guy, "I said I wasn't ready to leave! You don't have to watch over me 24/7!!"
"It's my job, not that I like it"
"Then quit!!"
Quitting was NOT in the Uchiha's vocabulary.
"I'm sure you can even appreciate that I don't quit and I'm fully prepared to go through with this job until stated I'm no longer needed" Sasuke narrowed his eyes he didn't want to explain this to the blonde as it was obvious, but looks like he was going to "which means you stop being an idiot and running off, then and only then I can go home and you'll be rid of me for the rest of our lives"
Naruto looked up at Sasuke, he really looked pissed and it sent shivers down his spine. He didn't get scared easily because he had always found he could handle himself pretty well but now he was completely helpless against Sasuke glaring vision.
"Got that?"
Naruto didn't answer, so Sasuke took that as an affirmative and started towards his car, which they had taken to the club, Naruto stood and followed after him, running to catch up to the Uchiha's long strides.
Naruto for one was very thankful when they made it back to his mansion after a long silent ride with the raven, he could finally let loose and relax. stepping inside the huge mansion Sasuke had dryly stated that they needed to have dinner after a long day of non-successful escapes Naruto didn't complain, and stated that he wanted ramen which Sasuke quickly shot back as trash and went about making them a more suitable healthy dinner.
The blonde watched dazed as Sasuke began cooking, his abilities were amazing!
'Must live alone' he thought.
"So where did you learn how to cook?" he asked, deciding to break the uncomfortable silence, he never was one to be quite for long periods of time. Unfortunately it looked like Sasuke was, which might end up in this being a one way conversation.
"A lot of cooking shows, and my mother had taught me when I was little" Naruto noticed the strain in the others voice when saying 'mother' and felt a cringe in his heart.
Naruto may not be a scholar and all that but he could read people by their actions and their voices, he knew just by his voice that Sasuke had lost his mother. His eyes subconsciously softened and he looked at the table's surface, not wanting to look at the raven anymore.
This was a new bit of information about Sasuke, he was a little in the dark when it came down to the raven he didn't even know his last name, but Naruto was fairly certain that Sasuke knew quite a bit about him, people usually did and made their own assumptions about him on others words, usually the wrong ones.
"Eat up"
Naruto looked up to find Sasuke's face surprisingly softer then it had been all day. The raven had obviously noticed his crestfallen look.
'Maybe Sasuke isn't such a heartless bastard after all' Naruto couldn't help but smile at the Uchiha, but the smile wasn't returned. He had expected as much after spending a day with him he had never seen any emotions on the others face except maybe anger.
Naruto's smile quickly turned into a frown when he noticed what Sasuke had placed in front of him, and pushed it forward as Sasuke seated himself opposite him.
"Gross, I want ramen"
"That stuff is trash, this is healthier"
"Yeah and I bet it taste's icky" Naruto poked out his tongue and placed a look of total look of disgust on his face to emphasize his point, made gagging noise.
"Deal with it" Sasuke began to eat his own food.
"Make me" Naruto's eyes widened as the words escaped his mouth, the last time he challenged Sasuke it ended up with him on his arse, and by the look on Sasuke's face he was going to take him up on that challenge.
The raven smirked, and placed his fork down by the side of his plate and stood, causing Naruto to cringe as he made his way over towards him. Sasuke grabbed Naruto's plate, and placed a leg on the either side of Naruto, seating himself on the blonde's lap, affectively trapping him.
Naruto gawked, jaw dropped at Sasuke, Sasuke! The bastard was sitting on his lap does he even know how wrong this looked? By the smirk on his face he did and didn't care, a slit tint of pink crossed Naruto's cheeks.
Sasuke placed some of the food on the fork and placed it in front of Naruto's mouth his smirk growing when he noticed the slight embarrassed tint to his usual tanned cheeks.
"Open wide"
"Basta- oomph"
Naruto glared at the raven pushing down the idea of spitting put the food in the raven's face. Stupid Sasuke had done that on purpose!
