Sasuke: -smirks-

Naruto: -clueless!-

Me: almost forgot. Beware: OOCness. UnBeta-ed. And…-

Sasuke: A stupid writer.

Me: Hey!!

-

Naruto let out a small sigh. "You know… just… sitting around."

Sasuke rolled his eyes in annoyance. "I meant, why are you here, and not at your house. It's kind of late." That was true. Stars already dotted the nighttime sky. The sun, or traces of it, was nowhere to be seen.

Naruto bit his lip, debating what to tell him. "I just had a small fight with my dad. I thought I could cool down awhile before coming back." That's not entire the truth, but still partly.

"How long are you planning to wait until you cool down?"

"Um… when I get bored?" Naruto laughed nervously. He looked down to the floor, just avoiding Sasuke's eyes. Sasuke's all-knowing eyes.

Sasuke lifted his eyebrows in obvious disbelief. The dobe was always bad at lying. The raven decided to play his little game.

"Oh? Aren't you bored already?" he asked.

"…No?"

Sasuke walked up to Naruto, and sat right beside him. "You know, your dad is probably getting worried. Maybe you should go back home."

Naruto looked at Sasuke, giving a small sad smile. "Nah… It's okay…" He looked back down on the floor, staring at something that Sasuke couldn't see.

Sasuke had a weird feeling. He pushed himself up, and turned back to Naruto.

"Come on, let's go."

He pulled Naruto up, but unknowingly grabbed him right on top of the burn… Naruto squeezed his eyes shut, and bit the inside of his cheeks, silently cursing his father.

Sasuke wasn't blind. He could tell that Naruto was hurt on his arm. So, he grabbed the dobe's arm, carefully this time, and lifted up the sleeve. He revealed a few dark bruises, cuts, and a cigarette burn. He looked back up to Naruto, who was staring at his feet.

Sasuke took a deep breath, so he might not sound mad. "Naruto…" he said slowly. Naruto looked up to meet Sasuke's onyx eyes. "Where did you get these?" His voice was laced with concern, but anger was there, as well.

Naruto pulled his arm away, pulled down his sleeves, ignoring the question.

Sasuke didn't give up, though. "What happened?"

"Nothing…" He grabbed his backpack and turned to leave, but Sasuke grabbed the collar of his jacket before he could make a break out of there.

"Tell me… now." Naruto looked around them, hoping to find something that might be useful for this particular predicament, but… nothing…

Silence…

"Naruto, tell me what happened, and who did it."

"It's nothing, okay!" Naruto yelled.

"Doesn't look like nothing to me."

"Well, it is!"

"Just tell me who did it."

Naruto stiffened. "I-I can't…" he choked out.

"Why not?!" Sasuke snapped.

"Cuz I can't, okay!" Naruto cried out. His legs begin to buckle.

"Why can't you tell me?!" Sasuke grabbed Naruto's collar, pulling him close to his face.

"Let me go!" Naruto cried out once more. His hands tried to get Sasuke's own off his jacket.

"I'll let go when you tell me!"

"Let me go! Sasuke, please!" Naruto looked as if he was about to cry. Sasuke let Naruto go, who fell backwards and fell to the floor on his ass.

Sasuke felt like a jerk, now. He went down to his knees, so that he was on eye-level with the blonde, who had stayed on the floor, but had his arms wrapped around his legs, his head lay on his knees.

"Look Naruto. I'm sorry that I snapped, but, I want to know."

Naruto looked up, with sad distressed cerulean eyes that were rimmed with unshed tears, which nearly broke Sasuke's heart. "Why?" he asked. "What would you do if I tell you?"

"I'll get that son of a bitch, and pulverize him!"

"It's not as easy as that. He's not some bully."

"Well, I'll know what to do if you tell me who he is. Come on, I hate to see you get hurt."

"There's nothing I could do." Naruto lay his head back down, in obvious distress.

Sasuke bit his lip in uncertainty. He wasn't quite familiar on how to comfort his friend/rival/secret crush. He then settled for wrapping an arm loosely around Naruto's shoulders.

"Tell me, Naruto. I want to help you." He said softly.

Naruto looked at him. "He'll come after you too."

Sasuke wrapped both arms around him, pulling him onto his lap. He put his chin on top of Naruto's hair.

"Don't worry about that. Maybe I could help."

"Maybe I'll end up hurting you in the end."

Sasuke held him closer, in a comforting way. "I won't leave until you tell me."

"I don't want him to hurt you."

"Naruto, I can't stand to see you like this. Just tell me. I promise to make everything right."

"…" Silence had echoed loudly.

"Come on, Naruto. Tell me." Sasuke nearly pleaded with his eyes.

Naruto took a deep breath. "M-my father."

Sasuke widened his eyes in shock.

--

What will Sasuke say? Can he do anything to help Naruto? Read the next chapter, hopefully that will be updated in a few.

Me: -yawns- damn, its six o'clock in the morning. This is the last time I bother taping Sasuke and Naruto doing it.

Closed door: Mhmmm… Faster! Yes!

Me: -nods- okay. Review please!!
