Chap. 4 Helping Each other

[Thinking to Themselves]

Author's notes: Hey everyone wanted to say thanks for the favs and follows but I would really like to hear from you guys so please review to give me ideas.

Sasuke couldn't figure out how he had got to his current position. At the moment him, Naruto and Three where sitting at a ramen stand eating. After Naruto had ran into him the Dobe jumped up apologizing to him. But before he could respond Naruto smiled and said "I know I'll treat you to ramen to make up for it!"

Sasuke was going to argue but had little time before he was grabbed and pulled towards the ramen booth. Now sitting there in his own head trying to think if he should be mad or smile. Three for some reason couldn't take his eyes off the boy and could see something was troubling him. "Sasuke was it? If you don't mind me asking why are you so down in the dumps?"

Sasuke stiffened at the question not wanting to respond. He had to think of a way to get this kid to not bring up the trauma that was consuming him. Then he thought of a great idea. "Yes that's my name and I will answer your question if you answer some of mine."[Now all I have to do is ask questions he won't answer and be done with this game and leave these two]

Three just smiled catching on to this game quite quickly."Okay I am game I'll go first well ask small questions first."Sasuke just smiled he knew he had him "Alright Sasuke is the reason your acting so gloomy because you have lost something?" Sasuke hesitated with his response making sure he didn't give too much away "Yes I recently lost something precious to me. Now it's my turn why is your name a number that makes no sense."

Three just smiled before answering knowing this was going to be fun "Well Sasuke when I woke only a day ago I had no memory of who I was and saw the label that was on my cage and went with it as my name."At this time Naruto pulled away from his meal and said" His name was experiment number three but I said it was to long". After his comment he went back to his food.

Bothe the boys were sort of shocked they didn't think he was paying any attention to their conversation. Three turned back to Sasuke and continued their game."Alright Sasuke my turn again was the thing you lost an item or person?" Sasuke gulped at the question and hastily answered " I lost people not objects. My turn do you like Naruto?"

It was finally Three's turn to gulp he didn't know how to answer this question. Sure he had only known Naruto for a day but for some reason he felt like he would be torn apart if he lost him. Three just smiled he knew he could say what he wanted " I think of him as my precious person even though I have only known him for a short time he makes me feel less of a monster."

Before Three could see Sasuke's reaction he was grabbed behind into an embrace."Don't worry Three I like you to." Was all Naruto said before going back to his food causing Three to blush Sasuke face had faltered at the hug thinking of his brother but was pulled from his thoughts by Three speaking."So you said it was a person you lost I am going to assume family am I right?"

Sasuke jumped out of his seat in anger. He did not have to do this he went to turn away but was caught by the sleeve of his shirt. Turning to yell he stopped seeing it was Naruto who had grabbed him his eyes pleading to let him help. "Just leave me alone okay I don't need anybody's help." Was all he said before dashing off.

Three was going to ask Naruto if he did something wrong but stopped when he saw the look of determination on his friends face. "Three were going after him I saw the same eyes that I have. He needs someone and we're it" Was all Naruto said before paying the bill and heading out With Three right behind him.

Sasuke ran with tears streaming down his eyes [why did they have to be so nice I need to hate not feel kindness] He continued to run until he ran out of breath reaching training ground seven and dropping to his knees while slamming his fists on the ground. [Why Aniki why did you make me hate how can I do this all I want is someone to care] He sat there and wept. Not noticing the two sets of footsteps walking towards him.

Three didn't know what to do he didn't want to upset Sasuke anymore then he had but soon realized he didn't have to do anything it seemed Naruto knew what he was doing. Naruto slowly approached Sasuke's shaking form putting his hand on his back. To only have it swatted away by an angry Sasuke "Just leave me alone you don't know what it's like to lose everything you love!" Naruto just smiled before dropping to his knees an embracing the boy in front of him "Your right I don't know how it feels but I do know how it feels t have no ne to be with you, I also know how it feels to be all alone in this world except I let people in to change my fate like Three." He whispered into his ears in a soft tone before looking up to Three and smiled before speaking "Just let it out Sasuke I may not understand but you can't let this build up inside you."

Sasuke wanted to yell he wanted to punch Naruto in the face but he couldn't muster the will. It was the first time someone had held him since the incident. Emotions overflowing in the young boy busted forth. He screamed clutching Naruto chest he screamed all the things that had happened that night. He then screamed who did the things to him and kept screaming his tears and fears sound hard that he didn't even notice Three come up from behind and embraced him as well.

Sasuke screamed until he couldn't scream no more. The mentally strain on the boy taking its toll on the poor lad causing him to pass out in their arms. Naruto looked up to Three with a frown "Three I know we don't know him all that well but would you mind letting him sleep with us tonight?"

Three could only chuckle at Naruto's question It was Naruto's place but he was asking him as if it was his own "Of course I m okay with it he needs us to help him who knows we can invite him to stay if he wants. I'm sure he doesn't want to stay in the same compound as his family's death." Naruto just smiled back to his old self hearing that answers "alright help me get him back to our place."

Sasuke stirred in his sleep for the first time his dreams where peaceful he felt so warm unlike the cold he had been feeling before. Slowly opening his eyes his face went instant crimson at the sight before him. He was wedged in between Naruto and Three on want he could only assume was Naruto's bed. He didn't know what to do he should be mad they were in his personal space but couldn't bring himself to get angry. He felt some safe for the first time he smiled before letting the sweet embrace of sleep take over.

He awoke to the smell of something sweet jolting him out of the bed he looked around the room for the others. He calmed when he saw Naruto in the kitchen in a pink apron."Ohh your up Sasuke it will be a few more minutes before breakfast is ready just make you're self at home." Beamed Naruto.

Sasuke just grunted before looking around the room. He was shocked to see so little in the room.[Dose he have no money or something it almost looks empty in here] Sasuke was torn from his thoughts when the front door opened reveling Three holding some groceries. "Ohh your up sorry I wasn't here to welcome you Naruto sent me to get some milk."Three said,

"Sasuke just bowed his head before smiling again he didn't know why but he felt happy again being around these two."Hey Naruto are you sure we shouldn't bring up how the people over charge you for everything to the Hokage it isn't fair to you." question Three. Naruto just turned and smiled "No I'm use to it let's not put anymore on the old man's plate."

Sasuke looked troubled at hearing this news why would people treat Naruto differently. "Three o ahead and set everything up its almost done."Three just nodded before setting up the plates and silver ware. Sasuke asked if he could do anything to help but was shot downed by both Naruto and Three both saying they wanted to treat their guest.

Finally they all set down for breakfast talking about what ever came to mind no one metioning what transpired that previous night before. Which Sasuke was grateful for he didn't know if he could handle any more break troughs this week?

Once it was all said and done they all helped clean up. Sasuke stood up and bowed "I just wanted to thank you both for taking care of me." Naruto just smiled and Three laughed before both of their faces turned serious. Sasuke gulped wondering what he did wrong.

Three looked at Naruto and nodded as if giving permission to just smiled "Listen Sasuke we know what happened to you was horrible but me and Three discussed it and well instead of living in that place why don't you live with us?"Said Naruto with a huge smile.

All Sasuke could think of was "What?"
