You're The Last Thing I'll Need


Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Ok so I got some confusion in my last chappie. Well I will not explain it because then I will indeed spoil it all. So lovies just relax and everything will unfold in future chapters. Like I said; This story will be confusing but good. Also there is a lot of foreshadowing and flashbacks.

For those who do not know what foreshadowing is, here is what it means:

Foreshadowing: The act of providing vague advance indications; representing beforehand.

And I'm sure you all know what flashbacks are...hopefully D

Anyways that's enough rambling for now, enjoy:


Chapter 3: When it happens

Naruto reached out and slammed his hand down on his alarm clock as it sounded off again. With a groan, he rolled over and settled back down to sleep. "That alarm went off about five times Naruto, you really need to get up..." Came his roommates voice and if Naruto wasn't so tired he would have heard the concern in Kiba's voice. "Yeah.." He muttered as he sat up in his bed finally, "Job kills." He explained with a slight chuckle and Kiba only nodded before he turned his attention back to his laptop. If only Naruto knew how much his words were true.

With an obnoxious yawn and a noisy stretch, Naruto slipped out of bed only to feel the pain run through him from last night. With a silent grunt and a grit of his teeth he made his way to the bathroom. God how he wished Sasori didn't hold him by a chain. It had only been a week since he started working in that host club and already he was feeling uneasy about it all. He hated how Sasori was so good about getting under his skin, and his done it more then once; bribing Naruto or even threatening him. And how Sasori knows so much about him in such a short time, he wouldn't know.

As Naruto made his way to the bathroom he glanced back over to his roommate before slowly closing the door and making quick work of undressing. There were other jobs, right? Ones that paid over $1000 a week–right?

With a sigh Naruto turned the shower on and wasted no time to step in, letting out a small noise as the warm water hit against his skin. "Ah-h-h..." He practically hummed out, thinking right now wasn't the time to be thinking of his job. Today he was going to find out all his classes and meet all the professors!

After about what seemed to be five minutes, Naruto was done soaping up his body and now was working on washing his hair when a knock sounded at the door and then his roommate voice carried through "It's 7:50...I'm heading down to breakfast" He informed and Naruto made sure his hair was complete rinsed before replying. "Wait up, give me a minute and I'll join ya!" He called through the door as he shut the water off and got a faint 'Ok' in response, inferring Kiba had already walked away from the door.

As he got dressed his ruffled his hair and with a quick glance at the mirror he found himself pleasing before he pulled the bathroom door open and grinned stupidly to his roommate. "Ready!" He chirped and Kiba chuckled, "Cool. Lets go then." He said before heading out of their room with Naruto in tow.

As the blond and his roommate made their way to the cafeteria Naruto stopped walking and turned to Kiba who was, just as he thought, eying him. "Why are you eying me dog boy?" Naruto asked jokingly and the brunette blinked slowly in response. "D-Dog boy?" He asked out before laughing. "Yeah..I caught the pictures of dogs as you were unpacking." Naruto said with a goofy grin and Kiba nodded before he inhaled.

"I was just wondering about your face...the...the scars.." He muttered and used hand gestures to refer to his own face before looking down toward the floor, knowing that he shouldn't of asked. After all, the boy and his scars were his own secret. As Kiba looked up he saw Naruto's glance off somewhere else as if he was lost in thought somewhere else. So just as Kiba thought, Naruto wasn't going to tell hi-

"When I was six...I got into a fight with a boy that was concealing a knife..." The blond trailed off before looking up and into Kiba's eyes. "I thought I was big and bad because I was taking karate classes...but then the boy pulled out knife when I was just beginning to beat him...he struck me two times before I took off running...I knew he wouldn't kill me, he was only nine...and also just the way he held the knife I knew..but I ran anyway..." He muttered now and with an inhale he continued "Anyway..the first cut got me here" He said pointing to the top scar on his left cheek and with a small smile he touched another scar on his right cheek, the middle one.

"This one..its deeper because the first time he was hesitant but the second time he was pretty pissed..." Naruto said with an uneasy chuckle and then he shrugged, telling Kiba that was all to the story. Kiba frowned. "But you said he only cut you two times...where did the other four cuts come from?" He asked and Naurto chuckled again. "I did them myself" He shrugged for the umpteenth time.

Kiba's face instantly dropped.

"W-WHAT?!" He all but yelled and Naruto clapped a hand over his roommate mouth. "Shhhh! people are still sleeping, plus I don't want the whole world to know my story..." He said amd his voice dropped. "Yeah...You see I felt uneven with the two cuts...and since I have a love for foxes...I took my fathers pocket knife and went to work with making what looked like whiskers..." He said before laughing softly, already knowing Kiba would laugh his ass off and that's just what he did.

"F-Fox!?!" He squealed out before he began to laughing until he was in tears. He knew it wasn't funny about the scars, but a fox, whiskers! Too funny! As he calmed he apologized and Naruto nodded before going on, by now the two where in the cafeteria and now in line. "My father freaked the first time he heard I was in a fight with a boy that had a knife and the cuts I got...but then he saw what I did to myself and salted them just to make sure they actually became scares..." He sighed out. "My dad really got mad...and we argued..and then he left to get some fresh air…and that's the last time I saw him..." The blonds voice dropped to below a whisper and Kiba frowned. So the boy had lost his father...Damn he didn't mean to bring the memories back...

Naruto waved his hand as they both sat down now--also noting they were nearly the only ones there at the moment. "By the look on your face I can tell you are half pitying me, don't...please" His roommate said and Kiba nodded before he began to chomp down on his food. "My father was great man..and I know he didn't abandon me...He was murdered..." The blond continued before sighing out. Now he was done. He wasn't going to tell Kiba anymore. Not now anyways.

Kiba watched as his roommate ate before he looked around the cafeteria as it began to fill. Kiba then turned his attention back to his food and gave a faint smile. He was glad his roommate trusted him enough already to tell him that much...

Sasuke began to pace as he glared at the bathroom door. Dammit! Sai was doing this all on purpose; Sitting in the bathroom longer then he had to just to ensure Sasuke would indeed not make it to breakfast. With a growl the aggravated raven sat on his bed. He didn't need breakfast. So what he missed dinner last night? He can miss breakfast as well! After all when he was younger–and a lot stupider–he went 2 weeks with out food nor water. The rule was 3 weeks with out food. And that's what he was going for but it didn't happen. He was found on the second week and taken to the hospital, forced to down liquified foods until he threw it up.


Eight year old Sasuke rolled over in his bed and held his stomach. It didn't even growl anymore in hunger. Well, after all it has been two weeks since he locked himself up in his room. He was sure by now, his stomach had eaten itself– of course he had his reason for this. He didn't want to live with out his parents anymore. Without them he didn't feel whole, and not being able to help back then...he couldn't bare it anymore.

He did try the cutting method but he was to scared to even cut deep enough and in plus Itachi found him and made sure to stop him."Itachi..." The starved boy whimpered out. Where was his brother now? Once again the male had left and didn't return. All the better on Sasuke's half then, right? He could die now with out Itachi knowing. And for all he knew Itachi was dead as well.

With a grunt the younger Uchiha bent over his bed and began to gag; puking but puking nothing for that matter then he saw it, splatters of blood on his last heave before he settled down again. God he hopped this was the last of it, he really wanted to pass on now. Tears began to brim his eyes and he held back his sob. He wanted to die but the pain of it all was beginning to really bear down on him now. He began to cough before going to gagging fit once more and then there was a bang at the door.

"Sasuke! God Sasuke!" Came his brother voice but Sasuke didn't reply. Instead he only struggle to stand up so he could hide from his brother. He didn't want to be saved dammit! Why!? But as he stood his vision began to swarm and the only last thing he saw before he passed out was Itachi busting through his locked bedroom door.

Itachi gave a nasty curse before picking up his passed out half starved brother. With a frown he moved through the house and outside to his car. Damn he really needs to stop leaving and losing track of time and days. His little brother really needed him-- more so now then Itachi saw before. With a inhale he looked back at Sasuke's limp steadily breathing body in the back seat of his car before he floored it to the closest hospital. From now one he would have to stay with Sasuke, and watch him with everything he had–even if he hated him.


Sasuke's pale hand rested along his clothed stomach as he finished remembering his stupid younger years of his past.

"I thought you were sleeping." Came Sai's smooth voice and Sasuke rolled over to glanced at his cousin before sitting up. "I was just waiting." He snapped out coldly before he stood and pushed roughly pass the other raven and went into the bathroom not giving it a second thought on why Sai was really in there for so long.

Sai only watched as Sasuke disappeared into the bathroom a satisfied smirk plastered on his face as he turned and began to leave the room, but he wouldn't shut the door just yet. As the shower went on Sai's smirk only grew. As he closed and went to lock the door, he heard the scream--Sasuke wouldn't be a raven anymore, well for the time being anyway. Oh how he loved himself so much. Sai chuckled as he began to make his way to the cafeteria. His job there was done.

Sasuke toweled his hair off roughly, hoping that would get some of the dye out of his hair but he got no luck. With a nasty curse he tossed his towel angrily into his hamper before going to his closet--something had to be in there to get dye out right? Laundry detergent, right? That got dye out of hair, right? Oh he was going to kill his fucking cousin for putting pink dye in his shampoo. And it was the type of dye that settled in quickly.

Yep. He was going to strangle the shit out of Sai whether or not it was in class, in the hall, or even in their room he was going to kill him. Yeah he could of made breakfast but not now, definitely not now. He had to wash his hair and then that would only leave him time to check his schedule and then head out to his first class. And he'll be damned if he went to his first classes with pink hair. He pulled his towel off and turned the shower on once more before stepping in with the laundry detergent in his hand. A moment later he began to wash his hair as roughly as he could, scrapping his scalp with his nails, and watched as the pink dye began to move along in swirls with the draining water.

After a good fifteen minutes, Sauske shut the shower off and stepped out, toweling his waist as he looked into the mirror. Yes his raven locks were back (sure there was a bit of pink still in there but at least most was gone). He glanced at his clothes before he began to make quick work of getting dressed. Once he was done he opened the bathroom door to see Sai sipping apple juice while sitting in his bed. Again. Sasuke narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the tray that sat on his pillow.

Sai pointed to him.

"Good job of getting the dye out." He said with a playful smirk and Sasuke growled but stayed put at the bathrooms door frame. "I brought you breakfast since, well, you missed dinner last night and I remembered while I was in line." His cousin stated before sipping his apple juice once more still remaining on Sasuke's bed. Sasuke slowly made his way to his bed until his stood practically between his cousins legs. Their eyes met and Sai smirked as he sipped once more form his bottle of apple juice.

"I wont eat what you brought me, for all I know you put something in it." He spat and Sai chuckled with a shrug before he picked the french toast stick up from the tray and bit into it, proving that there was nothing in the boys food he had brought for him. Sasuke's eyes shifted from his cousin to his tray of food. "Get off my bed." He hissed after a moment and Sai only scoot over. "Come on Sasuke, lets put our past behind us and be the family we should be!" Sai said happily and Sauske only glared daggers toward the other boy.

"You're kidding me right?" He asked and Sai shook his head, "I'm serious...That was my last prank I'll ever pull on you, the dye. Come on. We're older now and it's been years. Lets just be friends now, family..." He said and patted Sasuke's bed "I won't do anything, I swear. From now on." He promised and Sasuke shifted suddenly feeling uncomfortable. Sai was never nice to him unless he was pulling a prank. Should he believe him? He didn't know. Maybe he should give it a try but he wouldn't let his guard down. Never that. So that wasn't really trusting him. huh? Oh well.

Sasuke took an inhale and sat down on his bed and began to pick at his food eating slowly at first then faster knowing there was only a short time until all classes for the first day started. Sai watched him with a smile before he stood and threw his now empty apple juice in the trash. "I'll be right back." He told Sasuke, who only nodded as he began to sip his milk. Sai went into the bathroom and closed the door flipping his phone open and dialing a number that was all to familiar. After four rings, the person finally answered.

"Hey, It's done are you happy, I told him we can try over or some shit like that and he bought it..." He muttered into the phone and the other male on gave a 'hn' in response before he replied fully. "Good. Sai don't bother him anymore. I'll have a room change if you do." The older male said calmly and Sai nodded. "Yeah sure" He muttered once more. "Bye Itachi." He said a moment later before hanging up knowing the older Uchiha wouldn't even bother saying bye back.

He flushed the toilet to make it look like he was using the bathroom. Once he emerged from the bathroom he saw Sasuke had finished his breakfast and was looking over his printed schedule as he closed his laptop and placed it under his pillow. "I'm heading down to my first class now." He informed and Sai nodded, gritting his teeth. God could he really do this. Be so...nice? He looked away and Sasuke studied him before he then left their room, leaving Sai alone.

He knew Sauske still had his full guard up. And that was good because even Sai couldn't trust himself. Even though he didn't want a room change he knew he couldn't stop himself from bugging his cousin. But for now, he'll sit back and in due time everything will unfold. Sasuke will find someone he cares about and then Sai will take that one person away. One way or another. With a faint smirk he went to his own lap top and printed his schedule before shutting his computer off and stuffing it under his pillow as well, before heading out of the room, locking the door and turning on his heal--heading for his first class. English 1A.

Naruto chuckled lightly as he glanced between Kiba's and his own class schedule. It seemed as if they had several classes together, one of the classes they both had now; the first one of the day was with some guy named Kakashi who was teaching English 1A. Next to him, Kiba reached over his shoulder and grabbed the two papers, "What's so funny?" He asked as he looked over the papers also.

Naruto smiled as the other male asked what was funny, "Nothing...nothing just happy we have at least four out of seven courses together." He answered happily and Kiba grinned. "Ah, Yeah pretty cool huh? Now we can act stupid together in most classes." He cheered as if they were still in high school before he patted his blond roommate on the back, both sharing a grin. "Ah, here is our first class." Kiba motioned to the door as he opened and entered the room. He realized there was no professor there yet and only a few students had been there already.

"Well what do you expect? Its is only the first day and the first class so yeah, even professors might be late." Naruto stated as he moved toward the back of the class. And yes he was well aware there were that cocky raven bastard was in this class too. Sitting in the middle right side of the class. 'God let this be the only class I have with him...' The blond thought with a sigh and in response Kiba clamped his shoulder. "We'll live, a'ight? Pay him no mind" He said with a smile and Naruto nodded before taking his seat beside his brunette-haired friend.

Naruto looked around the classroom as more students began to file in and take random seats. He wasn't paying much mind to any of them, though a lot of them looked kind of weird. Like one girl who had pink hair and was arguing with a girl with blond hair and boy...did she have a big forehead. And then there was a male with a jacket so big it even covered thelower half of his face and to top it off, he wore sun glasses. Who wore sun glasses inside? Then a cocky raven look alike walked in and there eyes met. The male gave a smirk toward Naruto before he glanced toward the other raven.

Naruto followed his gaze and saw the two ravens looking at each other. They sure did look alike all the way down to their body figures; bothering looking really feminine and even there stares where alike. Were they twins or something? No...Maybe family sure but not brothers. Cousin's maybe?

The blond watched as the short haired raven made his way toward them and took the empty seat beside Naruto. "Hey." He said with a smile and Naruto glanced to Kiba who was talking to that weird boy with the sun glasses. "Uhm...Hi" He said giving a short smile before he turned his attention back to the front of the room not really realizing the other raven bastard was watching the two.

When Naruto checked his cell-phone he noticed it was way past time for the teacher to be in, yet no one noticed the professor wasn't there yet. Well except Naruto since he wasn't converting with anyone. Kiba out right ignored him now since he was chatting to Shika, Choji and sun-glasses boy.

"You seem so tense." Came the raven's voice who sat beside him. Naruto gave him a faint smile as he looked to him. "I've really always wanted to be in this college and I'm so nervous I'm in now." He explained with a slight chuckle and the boy smiled before holding his hand out to Naruto for him to shake. "Sai Yamito." He introduced himself and Naruto inhaled before taking his hand and shaking it, "Naruto Uzumaki." He replied with a smile as their hands parted from the shake.

As Sai turned in his seat to glanced at the other raven Naruto turned as well to look before he looked back to Sai. "Are you two related?" He asked in a soft voice and as Sai turned around in his seat and opened his mouth to answer the classroom door opened and lazy looking male with a head band covering his left eye and a mask worn, which covered from his nose down, walked into the room. Not even glancing at the class of students.

As he sat down in the chair behind his desk it made a creak upon his new found weight and his eyes finally lifted to the class. "Good morning. Sorry I was late. The road of life is a difficult one." He announced. Even his words came out in a lazy manner but no one spoke, only watched him.

"There's not much I have to say on the first day except–don't ever skip this class because I will find out. And you will fail." He said bluntly and then looked away from the class as he pulled a book out and began to read. Naruto raised an eyebrow and looked around the room to see everyone already getting up to leave and head off to their next class. That was it? For the first day you just meet the professors? No first lessons? Nothing?

With a shrug he began to pack his note books as well and as he looked up he saw Kiba leaving the class with out him and frowned. As he went to get up the boy known as Sai held his hand out to him, "Come on." He encouraged softly and Naruto took his hand as he stood. "So what's the next class?" He asked and Naruto pulled his schedule from his back pocket handing it to Sai who looked over it.

"Hmm..We have five classes together. Nice." He said with a smirk and Naruto only smiled not really sure what was with this boy. But for some reason Naruto didn't like him. The boy gave him chills right down to the bone. But none the less he followed after the raven haired male and to their next class–wishing Kiba wouldn't have left him like that. He felt a slight ping of abandonment from his new friend just leaving with him like that. Ah well, he'll get over it.

As they reached his next class he felt his phone vibrate in his back pocket and frowned. Who was calling him at this time? As he told Sai he'd be right in he headed fro the bathroom and pulled his phone out and as he looked at the caller ID it stated, private number. With a deep frown he flipped his phone open and answered with a shaky "Hello?" Already kind of knowing just who it might be.

"Hey." Came a smooth reply and Naruto swallowed, "Why are you calling me I've got classes I still need to attend. And I'm not at work so if you'll excuse me I'm hanging up and getting back to my classes. Good-bye" He snapped but just before he hung up he heard the male chukle which stopped him from doing so. "What's so funny?" He demanded and the boy on the other end only continued to chuckle. "And you think I don't have classes too?" He asked slowly and Naruto frowned once more but before he could answer heard the bathroom door opened and in stepped a male; on his cell phone and now smirked slyly at Naruto.

"No...way..." He breathed into the phone before it slipped from his hand and the red head only hung his phone up and smirked wider. He was going to enjoy this year. And by the looks of how pale the blond in front of him was–it was going to be fun.
