A/N: Hey People! Heck yes I'm back! ;) So, I'm not going to put the scene of Sasuke and Naruto ... doing stuff...right now! So don't give up hope, the last chapter is where you'll see it! They won't have sex until then, so there is only lemon and lime in these next chapters. Now this next chapter is for Naruto. He sings AGAIN! Anyway, let's have a little summary of it, eh?
Summary: Naruto is still hated, still looked at with disgust, and still is being talked about as if he isn't there. And one night, while Naruto and his friends, including Sasuke (they decided to keep their relationship secret for awhile, only Iruka, Kakashi and Sakura know.) and Sakura, a few bullies start talking about our cute blonde and he loses it. A song for Naruto.
Warning: Boyxboy (if you're stupid and didn't notice...lol) and almost rape! OH NO! lol
Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto or this song, Rumors.
Can You Keep a Secret?
Chapter Three:
Tired of all These Rumors
Naruto looked down at the ground, trying not to react to all of the people's stares of dissapproval and comments of "demon boy". He was walking alone to Iruka's, who had invited him over to talk about him and Sasuke. Naruto knew Kakashi was going to be there, but no one else. Iruka didn't want to upset or embarrass the blonde in front of his boyfriend.
"Hey, demon brat! Go die you worthless piece of trash!" Naruto turned sharply to the voice, trying not to kill him with the shrukien in his gripped hand. He growled before turning back towards Iruka's house again. He dissappeared down an alley, teleporting directly to Iruka's. He was so mad, his hand shaking, a headache starting to form. He pushed the door to Iruka's home open, not caring if he was being rude at the moment. Kakashi looked up from his place on the big, light brown couch, an eyebrow raised at how flustered the blonde was. Iruka peeked out of the kitchen, frowning at Naruto. He seemed so stressed lately...
"Naruto, you okay?" Iruka walked over to the boy, who was still standing in front of the door with his head bowed. Iruka saw the tears and brought his arms around his Naruto, pulling over to where Kakashi was sitting. He settled the upset boy in between Kakashi and himself, patting his back and asking him what was wrong. Naruto finally looked up, sniffling slightly before answering their quiet questuions.
"I hate that the village is always on my back when something goes wrong no matter what it is! If someone dies, blame the demon brat! If something goes wrong at a social event, blame the demon holder! Blame him, he doesn't have fucking feelings!" Naruto stopped yelling and started shaking again from sobs. Kakashi and Iruka held him together, like his parents would have done, and lulled him to sleep. Iruka glanced worriedly over Naruto slumbering form at Kakashi who was pondering.
"No wonder Naruto is so agitated lately... He's got so much blame on him... They probably even blamed him for Sasuke leaving..." Kakashi said aloud, Iruka instinctively pulled Naruto closer to him and ran his hands through the bright blonde hair.
"We need him to go out soon, he's too stressed for this talk... We'll do it later." Kakashi eased Naruto out of Iruka's arm and curled him into his arms and stood up. Iruka smiled and stood up also and they walked down the hall to the guest room, placing Naruto on the queen bed. Iruka pulled the covers up to his chin and tucked it around him gently, Kakashi chuckling behind him. Iruka turned around and glared at the Jounin, pouting. Holding out his hand for the teacher, Kakashi smiled slightly as Iruka turned fully towards him to take the offered hand.
"Leave him be for now, he'll be ok in awhile, though we should go find Sasuke and talk to him about Kyuubi. He was told by Naruto awhile back.." Iruka nodded, taking one last look at the brightess star he had ever seen. He genuinely smiled then, thinking, If you only knew how much you effect the people around you, Naruto...
Naruto tossed and turned, sweating lightly through his orange pajamas (A/N:They had changed him, I was just lazy... :sweatdrop:) and cringing. His dreams, or more likely nightmares, were plaguing his mind. He wanted to fall, to stop, to give up, but he swore not to, for his own sake and for the ones around him. He remembered the worse day of his life, or it was. The day Hokage finally told him he had the Kyuubi sealed in him was also the day he almost got raped.
"Oh, look it's the little demon bastard!" A tall ninja called out loudly to his two friends, sneering at the ten year-old Naruto. Naruto kept walking, trying to get out of there before rocks were thrown at him. He was in a deserted part of town and no one would help him.
"Yeah, let's go beat him up!" They all agreed and little Naruto was suddenly surround by three grown men, all of them having nasty looks on their grinning faces. One struck Naruto in the face making him fly back and land on the ground, bruising his knee.
"He's a cutie, guys, maybe we should have fun with this one. Make him pay..." The two other guys smirked as their "leader" picked the small shaking boy off the ground. He flung him into a tree, a resounding thud coming from him. The bullies chuckled evilly, coming closer to the battered body on the ground.
"He looks like a broken angel, a girly one at that..." Then they tore and ripped at his clothes, a jutsu said to bind him to the tree. He struggled against the jutsu, his mind only comprehending that they were going to do something mean and hurt him. He tried not to scream or cringe, though he knew no one hear him. They finally got to his black boxer and those were also torn off and they flipped him over.
"You will be punished for what you have done..." One whispered evilly in his ear. He pulled away as much as he could and whimpered when one of the guys stuck a finger in his ass, then another struck him, drawing blood. Another finger, another strike. More blood...
Naruto couldn't feel his body anymore, it was cold and he was definitely numb through all of his body. The three guys were getting horny over his small fragile innocence.
"Your parents wouldn't have ever wanted you, you worthless piece of shit!" Then he was struck again, the leader thrusting at him and something in Naruto snapped. He felt a surge of strength and inhuman yell came from his lips, then everything went red, then immediately black...
Naruto woke up, crying out at the pain he felt. Iruka was holding him in his arms, rocking him again as Kakashi rubbed his back. Then Naruto noticed the third person. He was sitting in front of Naruto, his hands rubbing his thighs.
"Sasuke..." Naruto was released from Iruka's hold and he flew into Sasuke's, a fresh new start of tears breaking through the barriers of his resistance. "Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke..." Naruto sobbed, only wanting to feel the comfort and love he felt surrounding him.
"Shh, Naruto, you're ok now. You need to relax, I'm here now, k, my dobe?" Naruto let out a breath he didn't remember holding and loosened his tight grip on the older boy. He looked up into the gentle obsidan eyes and smiled sadly before burying his head back in Sasuke's chest.
Sasuke looked at Iruka and Kakashi, who were standing off to one side. His eyes seemed to say "I will kill anyone who hurts my dobe..." and Iruka believed he would also do the same for the blonde. After all, Naruto was like a son to him. Kakashi nodded to Sasuke and pulled Iruka out of the room to make him make breakfast/lunch for them.
When the door shut, Sasuke gently pulled Naruto's face up to his. They stared at each other, soft black eyes and bright blue tearful eyes. Then Sasuke leaned down and captured the blonde's lips, kissing him passionately. Naruto closed his eyes, kissing him back as they gripped each other painfully. Then they broke away, air becoming necessary. A soft knock on the door brought their attention to the pervert standing in the doorway. His smirk was evil and he had a glint in his eye, suggesting that he had been watching them the whole time.
"Well, it's time for brunch guys, so hurry up..." Then he walked out, his smirk still firmly in place. Naruto chuckled, wiping his face with his sleeve as Sasuke eased off the bed and stretched. Naruto watched as a portion of his tone stomach showed. Naruto licked his lips before blinking. Shaking his head to free his mind of any provoking thoughts to jump Sasuke, Naruto slipped off the bed and stood, cracking his back. Sasuke grapped Naruto's wrist and pulled him to the dining room, where Iruka was serving ramen and tempura. Kakashi grinned at them as they sat down. Iruka then settledd next to Kakashi as Naruto inhaled the ramen smell, drooling.
"Thanks, Iruka! This looks great!" Naruto commented before grasping the bowl and eating like he had to go some place. Sasuke ate some tempura, nodding in appreciation to how delicious it was. Iruka and Kakashi were arguing while Sasuke watched everything curiously.
Naruto smiled, everything seeming like a family to him. The couple bickering over something, the quiet but amused spouse of the happy and cheerful child of the two. Naruto almost choked on his ramen but covered it up easily enough.
Yeah, this family was perfect... Naruto thought to himself, finishing his ramen.
That Weekend
Naruto grinned happily at Sasuke, who was leaning against Naruto's doorframe. They, all of Naruto and Sasuke's friends, were going out tonight and Naruto was determined to have fun at the karoke bar they decided upon. Then they were to go gambling if they didn't get all of the way drunk. (A/N: They are all at least eighteen, so it works, ya?)
Naruto was dressed in white leather pants and a long sleeved sky blue silk shirt with a white leather jacket. Sasuke was wearing tight black jeans and a dark blue muscle shirt with a black leather (A/N:Sasuke's jacket matches Naruto's!) jacket over it. They looked hott together (A/N: I can see you yaoifans drooling out there! lol), Naruto with his innocent angelic look and Sasuke with his dark and mysterious fallen angel look. When they met up with Sakura, she nearly got a nosebleed. She pinched her nose and commented on their attire before they headed to the karoke bar.
This karoke bar, called Roses' Thorn, was a packed place, with two parts to it. There was the bar, with its tables and chairs and then there was the karoke part, with a big stage and tables, chairs, and even leather couches (A/N: I seem to have a thing for leather! . ). Everything was lit up only by the dance lights and disco ball in the dancing area in front of the karoke stage. There were candles on the table but nothing too romantic.
Naruto saw their friends in the back of the bar area, just near the karoke stage and the three headed over, causing many people to stare at them in astonishment. The two guys were overly sexy and they looked so opposite to each other, which just added to the sexiness. Sakura had worn a short green dress, which brought out her eyes, so she was also eyed. When they reached their friends, it was with rolling eyes and cursing under their breath.
"So, you guys gonna get some drinks or just sit here sulking at how many people hit on you?" Kiba elbowed Naruto who pouted at him. Sasuke just shrugged, leaning back in his chair. Neji sipped on his tequila before being poked by his cousin, who blushed when he raised an eyebrow at her in question.
"C-could I try s-some of your tequila, Neji-san?" Neji smiled and held it out to her, Hinata thanking him haltingly before taking it. Shikamaru had a Budlight in his hand, a bored look on his face as Chouji munched on some chips and had a Foster's in front of him. Gaara was next to Neji, twirling a vodka, which had suprised everyone. He didn't look like a drinker...
Lee was talking animatedly to Ino, who was nodding enthusiastically. They both had pina coladas in tall cups with brightly colored straws. Sakura was sitting next to Ino, listening too. Sasuke and Naruto were next to each other, Kiba and Sakura. Naruto turned to Sasuke, smiling.
"Hey, what do you want, teme?" Naruto asked, standing up. Sasuke gave him a look before answering.
"I want a martini. You know how I like it..." Sasuke smirked at the double-meaning, causing his blonde to blush before walking to the bar.
Not even five miutes later a crash was heard. Everyone turned to see Naruto falling down in what seemed to be slow motion. Sasuke eyes widened as he saw to glasses fall with him. A bigger crash sounded as five guys stood around Naruto with hatred burning in their eyes.
"You demon bastard. You're now a dirty whore, huh? Decided to try and get some meaning into your life, bitch?" One spat as Sasuke silently stood, Neji, Lee, and Gaara following. But Naruto was back up, leaning against the bar and looking them straight in the eye.
"I'm tired of this. I'm tired of your excuses just to blame me! I'm tired of all these rumors about me!" Naruto stalked towards the karoke stage, totally bewildering everyone. He took the mike and started up the machine, already knowing what song he would pick. It was like the other time, Can You Keep a Secret? came to him in a moments notice and fixed his problems as easy as a D-ranked mission.
Saturday, stepping into the club
The music makes me wanna tell the DJ,turn it up
I feel the energy all around
And my body can't stop moving to the sound
But I can tell that you're watching me
And you're probably gonna write what you didn't see
Well, I just need a little space to breathe
Can you please respect my privacy?
Naruto started off swaying back and forth before singing with an underlying tone of anger. Everyone was captivated by the image the blonde was making by standing in the spotlight with his emotional singing. He moved forward pointing at the people while singing:
Why can't you just let me do
The things I wanna do
I just wanna be me -he points to himself-
I don't understand... -he shakes his head-
Why would you wanna bring me down? -he looks at everyone-
I'm only having fun... -he smiles-
I'm gonna live my life (but not the way you want me to)-he makes a determined face -
Naruto pulled at his hair, eyes closed as he sang. Everyone was quietly listening, everything stopped, everything put to the side.
-I'm tired of rumors starting -he gestures, shaking his head-
I'm sick of being followed
I'm tired of people lying -makes a disgusted face-
Saying what they want about me
Why can't they back up off me?
Why can't they let me live?-he sings to the sky-
I'm gonna do it my way -points to himself again-
Take this for just what it is -shrugs, smiling -
Sasuke was totally getting aroused by the sight of his dobe flinging his head back and swaying his hips sensually. He could feel his tight pants become...too tight as he panted. Sakura glanced at him and held back a smile.
Here we are, back up in the club
People taking pictures -makes a "nuh uh" face-
Don't you think they get enough? -shrugs with a slight pout on his face-
I just wanna be all over the floor -gestures toward the floor-
And throw my hands up in the air to a beat like (what) -throws hands in the air-
I've gotta say respectfully
I would love it if you would take the cameras off of me -he eyes all of the people staring at him-
Cause I just want a little room to breathe -motions around him like a bubble surrounding him-
Can you please respect my privacy?
(A/n: No more in between things, just Naruto singing, ya?)
Why can't you just let me do
The things I wanna do
I just wanna be me -he points to himself-
I don't understand... -he shakes his head-
Why would you wanna bring me down? -he looks at everyone-
I'm only having fun... -he smiles-
I'm gonna live my life (but not the way you want me to)-he makes a determined face-
I just need to free my mind (my mind) -touches his face, closing his eyes looking as if he had a headche-
Just wanna dance and have a good time (good time) -moves his hands up and down around his face
I'm tired of rumors (rumors)
Followed (followed, followed, followed, followed, followed) -moves his head back and forth-
What they want of me
Why can't they (they, they, they, they, they) let me live? -throws hands up in the air-
Take this for just what it is
I'm tired of rumors starting -he gestures, shaking his head-
I'm sick of being followed
I'm tired of people lying -makes a disgusted face-
Saying what they want about me
Why can't they back up off me?
Why can't they let me live?-he sings to the sky-
I'm gonna do it my way -points to himself again-
Take this for just what it is -shrugs, smiling-
I'm tired of rumors starting... -shakes head vigorously-
I'm sick of being followed... -wipes his mouth as if disgusted-
I'm tired of people lying... -glares around at everyone (except his friends of course!)-
Saying what they want about me...-tears glisten in his eyes, making him look even more innocent-
Why can't they back up off me? -moves his face closer to the audience-
Why can't they let me live? -says to sky-
I'm gonna do it my way. -points to himself, tears falling down his cheeks although he's smiling happily-
Take this for just what it is... -bows his head as the songs ends-
There was a dead silence as everybody couldn't move, then Naruto looked up, tears streaming down his face, but a proud smile on his face. He got off the stage right as the packed place filled with thundering clapping. Sasuke was actually smiling while his friends said how wonderful he did and how he showed those jerks. Naruto just beamed at them. If they only knew how much he had needed to do that for all of his life. Maybe he would tell them some day but for now he would enjoy this happiness.
Dun dun!
Yay, I'm happy, so you should be happy, but who knows...
