Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto D: Remembrance

Enjoy!! :D

Sasuke sighed angrily; the tiny voices inside his head were getting louder and louder each passing day of the school year. He'd been locked in his room all day, searching through old items, pictures, anything that would help him to remember anything of his past.

"I'll always be there to protect you!!" A young Sasuke said happily, looking in the other's eyes.

"You promise!?"

"I promise."

Sasuke sat at his desk and grabbed for another photo album, in hopes of finding something that jolted even a little bit of realization.

'I still don't get it! Whose voice is that?'

After searching through tons of pictures of family members he didn't even know he had, Sasuke growled and held his head. 'I found nothing!' The frustrated raven thought, slamming the photo album closed, 'Damn it, those memories seem too important to forget! How?…When? I'm just not getting this at all…'

A sound at his door snapped the raven out of his thoughts, "Making a mess out of our albums I see..." An older male said

"Not now, Itachi."

"Is that any way to treat your brother? Especially when I remember something you don't!?" Itachi said with a faked hurt look on his face.

"…Alright. What do you know?"

"Well, little brother, what kind of sibling would I be if I solved your problems for you?" Itachi gasped

"A very kind and useful one, now, tell me what you know."

"…No." Itachi said smirking, and left Sasuke's room.

"Damn it, Itachi." Sasuke said, getting up and slamming the door his brother left open.

"What does he know!?"

"Yo, Naruto!!!! Get down here!!!" Kyuubi called up the stairs. When he didn't get a response; the red-head walked up the stairs and headed to his little brother's room.

"He's not in his room. So my guess is he left again."

Kyuubi sighed, and sat down on the edge of Naruto's bed.

"He never tells anyone where he's going…Damn brat."

Kyuubi looked out the window to the right of Naruto's bed; it was still raining, as it had been for the past couple of hours.

'His little blond ass better not do anything stupid.'

"I've never really been inside his room before, I'm gonna look around…"

After a couple minutes of searching through the"wide" variety of clothing in Naruto's closet, Kyuubi was officially bored; the only interesting thing he found was a black and red bracelet under tons of other crap, the bracelet looked old and it seemed to have been in the dresser for awhile. Kyuubi sat down at Naruto's desk and went through some files on his little brother's computer.

"There's nothing in here either!! Man, he's boring!!" Kyuubi said.

He stopped his ranting when he saw a book with a drawing pencil on top of it. With his curiosity suddenly sparked, Kyuubi grabbed for the book and flipped it open.

The book was filled with different pictures, portraits, landscapes, and other amazingly drawn pictures.

There was one that captured Kyuubi's eye especially; it was a portrait of him, carefully drawn, and very detailed.

"H-He drew me!?" Kyuubi shouted as he stared at the portrait astonished.

'I didn't know lil' bro could draw!!'

Kyuubi got over his astonishment long enough to hear a car pulling into their driveway, the red-head looked out the window and saw Naruto getting out of his car.

He hurriedly put everything back into its rightful place and quickly dashed out of his little brother's room into his own.

Naruto laid on his bed in the dark, the headache he had was getting worse with every roar of thunder.

'They've never been this bad before…'

The perplexed blond tried to focus on something other than the painful headache he had, he soon ran out of ideas and his mind drifted toward a certain raven-haired boy in his class.

'Why the hell am I thinking of him?'

Naruto sighed at his sudden antics, confused as to why Sasuke was the first thing he thought about.

Naruto sat back on his bed, his headache getting worse as time went on. Finally, the blond had enough and reached for his bedside table for his medication.

''Where the hell are they!?' Naruto thought confused, he looked through all his drawers and stopped his search when he came to a drawer full of papers and a bracelet on top of them.

"What's this?" Naruto said curiously as he pulled out the black and red bracelet from the dresser drawer.

"I still don't get why he would draw me, Tach!"

Itachi looked at his confused friend, thinking of the best answer to give him. "Maybe he doesn't hate you as much as you think he does, Kyuubi."

Kyuubi scoffed, "Oh no, he definitely hates me."

Itachi sighed and sat down next to the red-haired boy that was on his bed.

"You've never really gave him a reason to hate you have you?" Itachi asked hesitantly, afraid that he may have touched on a sensitive topic.

"I have, believe me." Kyuubi said quietly, looking down at the kitten in his lap.

Not wanting to start a conversation that would upset his friend, Itachi kept quiet.

"He asked me for help, Itachi." Kyuubi said silently, breaking the awkward silence.

"Hm?"

"..When we were younger…Naruto came to me and asked for help, and I didn't…I didn't help my little brother."

Itachi's eyes softened as he watched Kyuubi bow his head in shame.

"What do you mean?"

Kyuubi sighed, "When he was younger, he was abused by our mother, verbally, but it was just as bad."

Itachi stayed silent, not knowing what to say in response.

"The one time he asked me to help….I ignored him …"

"And now, when I try to reach out to him...He's doing the same thing I did...I don't want to imagine how much that would hurt a little kid, dude."

"Hn."

"You're real helpful bro." Kyuubi snarled

Itachi sighed as he stood, "I don't know how to help you, my red-haired friend...All I can tell you is to keep trying."

"Ch, Sure. I'll keep trying.

"I have to leave, Sasuke...."

"Hm!? Why?" A young Sasuke asked confused.

"'Cause Daddy has to follow his work, Momma won't stay here without him..." His little friend said sadly

"B-But! You can't leave me alone!! "

His friend looked down sadly, "I don't want to! A-And...I'm sure you won't be alone, Sasuke-kun!

"Take this Sasuke!"

Sasuke watched as his friend pulled something from his pocket and handed it to him.

"It's a locket! Take it, so you have something to remember me by..." His friend said

Sasuke looked at his friend and smiled, "..Thanks", he said as he took the locket from his hand. The locket was very different, it was the common silver but it had strange designs going from the front to the back.

"Kay, Sasuke! I gotta go...We'll see each other again! I promise." His friend said, turning to walk away.

"W-Wait!!!" Sasuke said quickly

"Huh?"

"You take this!" Sasuke said, taking off his present for his friend, "My momma gave it to me! It's yours now."

"But! This is your favorite! You never take it off!"

"Take it!" Sasuke said, shoving it into his friend's hand.

He giggled and smiled at Sasuke, "Thanks Sasuke-kun"

"See you 'round Sasuke!"

"....Kay.."

"Bye-Bye" His friend said waving, obviously trying not to cry.

Sasuke waved weakly at his friend, he too trying his best not to cry in front of him

Sasuke woke up and wiped the drool from the side of his face, he had fallen asleep in his search for answers.

'I remember! He gave me a locket....I wonder if it's still around somewhere'

Sasuke began to search for the present his friend gave him so many years ago, after hours of searching through the boxes that were already in his room, Sasuke headed up to his attic.

'Where is it!? It probably meant a lot to me!'

Just as Sasuke was about to give up, he came across a smaller box, not much was in it, just some old clothes he and Itachi wore when they were kids. Sasuke went through the box until he found the locket underneath a small shirt.

It was a common locket, round and silver, but there were interesting carvings going through the front and back of it, 'Can I open it?' Sasuke wondered, noticing there was an indent of the side.

Sasuke tried to open it, but in fears of breaking it, he gave up. 'At least I found it', Sasuke thought, putting the locket around his neck and burying it into his shirt.

Naruto sat alone in his bedroom, Kyuubi had gone out with Itachi and his friends, so he was left alone in the large house, as much as he disliked Kyuubi, a little noise in the house kept him distracted.

'It's pretty late' Naruto thought, looking out his window, 'There's no point in staying here...Maybe a ride around town will clear my mind'

Naruto left his house, sped out of his driveway and into the town. '...Where to?' The blond thought at a red light.

He made a turn and headed toward Cold stone, 'I want coffee ice cream, dammit.' The long-haired blond got off his motorcycle and headed into his favorite ice cream shop.

"What would you like?"

"Coffee. Thank you." Naruto said, tucking his hair behind his ear, the worker swooned, Naruto ignored it and sat down at a near by table waiting for his order.

While Naruto was tapping his fingers in impatience, a certain raven-haired sophmore was there and was just about to leave, 'Is that Naruto?..I didn't think he was the ice cream type of person.'

"Hey" Sasuke said sitting down.

"...." Naruto obviously wasn't paying much attention to his surroundings.

"Yo! Dobe!"

"..What?" Naruto asked looking up at Sasuke, "Oh, it's you, 'Sup Pretty Boy?"

"Nothing much, getting ice cream...obviously" 'Good job, Sasuke' Sasuke thought

"Heh." Naruto said, looking away.

"Sir? Your order's ready!"

Naruto got up from his seat and headed over to the cashier, "Thanks."

Naruto quickly downed his ice cream, enjoying the coffee deliciousness silently. Sasuke sat there for a couple of minutes, not wanting to leave until Naruto was gone.

The blond finished his ice cream and threw the cup into the trash, "It looked like you were about to head out, Pretty Boy."

"Y-Yeah. I was."

"Did you walk?"

Sasuke looked off to the side, "Yeah."

Naruto scoffed, "In the cold? Wow."

Ignoring the taunt, Sasuke asked "Are you heading home now?"

"Pffft, no. But hey, if you want a ride to your place, I have two helmets."

Sasuke inwardly jumped for joy, clinging to Naruto (even though he was a little smaller than him but hell, it was still hot) would work for him any day.

"If it isn't that much of a problem, dobe."

"Heh. Fine. Let's go."

Sasuke watched as Naruto got on the bike and followed his example, "Careful, don't tip over, pretty boy."

Naruto started up his bike, revving it, getting ready to speed. "....If you don't hold on, you'll fall off genius." Naruto said.

Sasuke took the hint and wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist tightly, "You ready?"

'I hope so Sasuke thought, a little nervous, and nodded.

"Question before we take off, do you even know where I live dobe?"

"...Hn, Kyuubi goes over there quite often, I dropped him off every once in awhile when his car was down or something."

"O-Oh."

With that over, Naruto sped out of the plaza and headed towards Sasuke's home.

Sasuke was enjoying his time clinging to Naruto, the blond hair tickling his nose, and the smell of Naruto was quite enjoyable, not that he'd ever tell anybody that.

"Are you frightened?" Naruto asked at a red light, "You're holding on pretty tightly."

"Ah, no. It's jus--"

Sasuke never finished his sentence, (thank kami), because the light turned green and all that was heard was Naruto's wheels skidding on the road.

A couple of turns and stops later, they arrived at Sasuke quaint home.

"Here we are."

"Thanks.."

"...Don't get used to it."

Sasuke took that as a "you're welcome" as he got off the bike, "Don't drive to recklessly dobe."

"....Tch, whatever."

"Good Night, Naruto"

Naruto nodded his head in response, revving his bike and speeding off in the opposite direction.

"Nice score, little brother." That was what Sasuke was greeted with right when he walked in the door, "You enjoy yourself?" Itachi said tauntingly.

Sasuke ignored his brother's teasing and went up to his room.

"You can't ignore me forever little brotheeer!!" Itachi said trying his best to annoy his brother.

Sasuke sighed and stripped of his clothes that smelled like Naruto, and threw on some sweats and a tanktop.

'Naruto....'
