Betrayal

Chapter Three: Past

Naruto and Sasuke…..Kindergarten

(Not anyone's POV)

"Class!" The teacher known as Iruka said in a happy, overly cheerful voice. A few little kids looked at their teacher, including one brooding student who was leaning against the wall in sheer boredom. "We have a new student," He tempted the ones who where still playing with their selected toys as though this new student was a piece of candy. That caught their attention.

"Really?!" A few asked, excited. Iruka nodded and turned to the open door that lead to the hallway to beckon the newcomer.

Shyly, a blond haired boy took a few steps forward into the class, looking at them with bright blue eyes, before scurrying to the teachers side, clinging to his paint leg. Iruka merely laughed at the blonds actions. "Go ahead, introduce yourself," He said.

"H-hello," He said shyly in a soft voice as he looked to the floor, seeming like another student that was there, watching the blond with pale eyes, as she cowered behind her cousin who was watching the new student introduce himself with half attention. "M-my name is Naruto, and I'm going to be the worlds best lawyer, just like my dad!" He looked up and grinned at them. The class smiled back, and invited him to play with them.

The brooding little boy in the corner stared at the blond with onyx eyes, filled with possession. 'Mine,' He thought as the blond started to play with another boy who looked slightly similar to him, but the other boys hair was shorter.

"Hey!" The boy with short black hair said to the newcomer. "I'm Sai, wanna go play?" He asked. Naruto smiled happily, "Sure!"

The brooding boy in the corner stomped over and grabbed the blonds hand in his own, lacing fingers. "No, he's going to play with me."

The little blond looked at the person who had randomly come up to him and grabbed his hand, stating that he was going to play with him.

"I saw him firsts Sasuke…" Sai said, upset. The boy known as Sasuke only glared at Sai as he pulled Naruto away, and then retorted over his shoulder at Sai, "No, I saw him first."

Naruto soon forgot about Sai as he and Sasuke played together in school, then after school in the daycare center and at each others houses.

Iruka smiled, watching the Uchiha prodigy make his very first friend, not hearing the words that where exchanged between Sai and Sasuke as he helped another kid with an art project.

Naruto and Sasuke….2ed grade

(Nautro's POV)

"Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuskkkeeeeeeeeeeeee!!" I wailed at the top of my lungs, throwing myself at the other boy who stood a few feet in front of me. "I-I-I did thiiiissss!! S-Saaauskee! I-I-I s-soooooorry!!" I wailed louder. People in the waiting room we where in stared at me and him. He hugged me tighter to him. Tears poured from my face and into his large black baggy long-sleeved shirt.

It was the middle of the winter, and I had decided that I would try out my new sled that I had gotten as an early Christmas present. I got on it, and from our drive way, it was a steep hill down. I was going down the hill really fast, and suddenly my dads car was in front of me, he swerved out of my way, and straight into a tree. The car was ruined, and my father, we didn't know if he would make it. When the paramedics came, they took me and him to the hospital. When my best friend, Sasuke heard that my dad was in the hospital, he came right away.

He held me tight. "Don't cry. It hurts me when you cry Dobe."

I wailed loudly, hiccupping, and kept crying, though I was trying my hardest to stop because I didn't want to hurt Sasuke. He was there for me.

He shushed me gently, and hugged me closer if possible.

After hours in the hospital, my eyes close to dosing off, though I always kept seeing my dad as the paramedics pulled him out of the car, and it would wake me up, startling me, doctors poured out of the ER room that they had stuck my dad in.

"Is daddy gunna be alright?!" I asked, more tears filling my eyes.

One doctor looked at me with pity, a few others with anger. My dad was one of the best lawyers in the whole small town. He was a good person who loved everyone, though my mom was gone. She left us many years ago when I had just been born.

"H-he's…in another place now…" The doctor that had looked at me with pity said.

"A-another place?" I asked, holding Sasuke tightly. "C-can I see him?"

The doctor shook his head no. I pouted, screaming for my dad. They looked away, and I stared crying. They doctors left me there with Sasuke, who understood what they meant and that my dad was dead, and pulled me into a hug. I stopped screaming, and sobbed into Sasukes chest, not understanding.

"I'll take care of you always, Dobe." He whispered into my ear.

Naruto and Sasuke….5th grade.

(Nautro's POV)

"Dobe!"

"Teme! How many times have I told you not to call me that?!"

"Hn." He paused, as though giving my request a thought for a change, "Dobe."

I snapped, tacking him.

"Dobe!"

We rolled on the grass, waiting to be picked up by our late working parents-well that was my case, Itachi could be here any minuet to pick Sasuke up really. Although he wouldn't bother unless there was something important going on that night, Sasuke had to call his brother telling him to come and pick him up once Sasuke was sure that I was in my adopted fathers car, and was on my way home.

He flipped us, as I had been on top, now I was on the bottom. "Teme!" I yelled, he smirked. He had been smirking, instead of laughing like I did-the smirk was his way of smiling-as far back as I could remember. "Now, Dobe, apologize."

"Keh! You wish I would Teme!"

"Dobe…" His voice sounded threatening and he glared at me. "You ruined my pants."

I had to laugh. "You peed yourself Teme?!"

His glare was like knifes, but that didn't stop me from laughing. "No, from grass stains."

How was I suppose to know that? "Gee, Teme, a little overprotective over the pants today?"

His glare was now sharper, and I shivered noticeably under is mean glare. "Ok, ok, I'm sorry! Ju-just stop looking at me like that!!"

He got off me and looked away. He mumbled something I couldn't hear.

"Whatcha say Sasuke?"

A car horn honked loudly, and I jumped. "Naruto!" I knew that voice from anywhere! Iruka had come to pick me up!!

"Sorry Teme, you'll have to tell me later. Dad owes me ramen tonight 'cause I passed my test!" I hugged him and whispered, "Thanks for helping my study!" In his ear before leaving. I was sure that I felt a shiver pass though his body as I pulled away and ran to the car, but paid it no heed. I had ramen to think about right now!

Naruto and Sasuke…..7th Grade

(Naruto's POV)

"S-sasuke!" I gasped. Sasuke, two feet in front of me was smoking a cigarette. I snatched the cancer stick from his mouth, throw it on the ground with great discust, and stomp on it rapidly. I then flew at him, knocking us both into the fence that surrounded the roof of the school. "NO! DON'T YOU DARE DO THAT AGAIN! BAD SASUKE!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs to him. "Okay whatever you say Dobe," He responded coolly, although I could see that his eyes had widened slightly, as if he was shocked. I knew he was, I knew that he wouldn't be expecting me to act like this when I caught him smoking.

I hugged him, the fence 'chinking' under our combined weight. I didn't care. The damned thing could chink all it wanted to-as long as it didn't break. "You smell like smoke…." I said stupidly. He chuckled and hugged me closer to him.

"I know," Was all he said.

A silence passed between us, just cuddling on the rooftop.

Then he spoke, "Naruto, look, I wanted to tell you something." He stared.

My heart rate increased. D-did he love me too? Did he want me to live by his side? Did he care about me as much as I did him? I looked at him.

"Naruto," He took a shaky breath, "I-I wanted to tell you, that…Every time I want to kill myself," I stiffened, I didn't know that Sasuke had wanted to kill himself! He held me tighter, "I would think of you, and all my thoughts would be like, 'No, I can't. He'd hurt, and kill himself too.' So, I didn't."

My eyes widened. He did feel the same way!

"M-me too!" I burst out. "I do the exact same thing, and think the exact same thoughts!"

He smiled, and pulled me away from him, so that we were looking one another in the eyes. "Looks like we live for one another then."

Naruto and Sasuke……8th grade.

(Naruto's POV)

I bounded through the halls of the old familiar school looking for a certain black haired teme. I saw a lot of black haired people, but none that looked like the teme I lived for. I had been in the West for the whole summer, and I had bet that the teme was missing me terribly. I was excited to see him.

Suddenly, I was jerked backwards by the back of my shirt.

"H-hey!!" I yelled, craning my neck to see who dared to pull me. My eyes widened in surprise and excitement. "Oi!! Teme!!" I yelled happily, turning around and tackling him. Sasuke barely budged, but made no movement to hug me back, either. "Dobe," He said coolly, "Off." I looked up at him quizzically, had he forgotten all that he told me last year? About how he lived for me, as I him?

"Nani?!" I said, a little hurt.

He shook his head. "Not here."

I pouted, and released him. He didn't have a problem with it before.

He smirked at me, something flashing though his eyes, something that I didn't know about, but didn't really bother to take much notice of. His eyes flashed a lot.

Someone came up behind him, one of the more popular kids. Usually he just ignored them, and spent time with me, and they ignored him. I wondered why they where approaching him now. He turned to them, and gave them a odd look that I had never seen before. They left, and Sasuke took my wrist in his grip and took me to the roof where he had told me how he felt.

Once there, I snatched my wrist out of his grip. "What was that all about?!" I yelled, angrily. They had shared something, something that I didn't understand and really wanted to.

"It was nothing, Dobe." He looked at me in the eyes, onyx black eyes clear of any emotion. "Don't worry about it."

I looked at him with unsure eyes.

He turned around to look at the grounds of the school through the gate. "Look, Naruto," He had said my name, I knew it must be something important, "I can't spend as much time with you as I did last year," He turned to face me, and frowned at my face. I supposed my mouth was wide open, and eyes bulging out of my head, because that's what it felt like I was doing.

"Wh-why?" I asked in a soft voice, not able to go any louder for fear that I would start crying.

"School work and family," He said nonchalantly.

I stared at him, family and school work had never come between us before. Then it hit me, "Y-you wanna be…popular?" I asked, astounded.

He looked off to the side and then back at me a frown on his face. "Shut it Dobe, you don't even know…" He started, then glared at me.

My eyes welled with tears, Sasuke, my best friend, was leaving me to become popular.

He sighed, seeing my tears. "No, I don't want to be popular, its Itachi. He wants me to."

I looked at him, tears threatening to spill, but I believed him because I knew how commanding and forceful his brother was. "S-so you'll still be my firend?" I asked in a small voice.

Sasuke smirked and hugged me, "Of course, Dobe." I hugged him back, taking in his sent. "You think I would leave you for the rich bitches?" Mentally, a fleeting thought told me 'Yes,' but I ignored it and clung to him tighter. He returned my hug, squeezing my shoulder, and I noticed something. "Hey…you don't smell like smoke."

He said nothing for a moment, then, "I know." Was all he said.

We stayed there, hugging one another until the late bell rung.

----------------------------------------------XxX---------------------------------------------------------I told Sai all of this quietly, ending with last night, how I thought I saw Sasuke, dead, when it was really all just a joke, that he was screwing with me the whole time. He held me close, a frown on his features. My eyes filled with unshed tears, wanting to be shed, but I couldn't find the will to cry.
