A/N: I have good grades!! *does the happy dance* Buuuut….not for very much longer. I have a test tomorrow on Greek gods and days/months/time for French. Being in French class has taught me something. If you don't study, you end up dying….so I should probably start studying. I've had a whole 11 days to study for the Greek gods test and I have to remember the Greek and Roman names, along with the area of greatness. I can only remember the really interesting ones. Hermes is a messenger and a trickster, but the only reason why I remember this is because his name reminds me of herpes and the trickster part kinda reminds me of Naruto….not that Naruto has herpes or anything. Anyway, I think I should start my story because you probably don't care about my school problems, plus I have a green lucky cat so as long as I carry that around in my pocket and study enough today, I should be pretty good.

DISCLAIMER: Naruto isn't mine, nor yours, nor his, nor hers….yeah, you get the idea.

Sasuke glared at the wires above his head. It would've been a whole lot easier if he could've just put a paper clip in the damn slot and just made it go 'zoom zoom,' but sasuke was pretty sure that naruto knew that you couldn't hotwire a car with just a paper clip. He touched another pair of wires together before he heard the roar of the engine again. A little electrocution and burnt fingers, but it was almost all worth it. Note the 'almost' in that statement. Naruto was just lucky that he was a good conductor or else the blonde's ass would get sued.

Sasuke slid out of the bug and frowned at the uninterested face the blonde wore. He was picking at his chapped lips, already bleeding from his ripping off the dry skin. Sasuke hated it when people did that, just ripped it off instead of putting chap stick on. People continued to disgust him in oh so many ways.

"hey!" sasuke groaned, "moron, your car is ready."

Naruto came back to reality and stopped picking at his lips, but instead of thanking sasuke, he settled on staring at his bloody fingertips. It was people like this moron that sasuke really hated. Naruto popped the digits into his mouth, sucking them so that his cheeks looked like they were getting sucked inward. Sasuke had to admit, it was kinda amusing to watch. When the blonde extracted these fingers they were back to their unbloody color and still slicked with salaive.

"yeah" he mumbled, "thanks. Don't worry I won't ask you to do this again, I have a spare key at home so I'll just make a copy and keep one pair in my locker or something." The blonde strode past him and sat glumly in his seat. "I have one question though…"

sasuke smirked at him. "yeah?"

"when I get home, how do I turn my car off?" naruto asked, going back to picking at his lips again.

Sasuke frowned at how naruto mutilated his lips, but blew it off. " I dunno." Sasuke shrugged and turned around. "it's not like I'd be there to help you out. I'd have to mess with it all over again."

"w- well, what about the wires you cut? How do I fix those? What if they shock me when I'm driving and I run into a wall?" naruto's eyes went wide at that. "oh my god…how will sakura react to that? What about tsunade? They'll kill me when they find out I trashed the car!"

sasuke just wanted to smack him in the face. "moron, you haven't hit a wall, so you don't have to explain anything to anybody. As for the wires, sure, go get them fixed. I think I need an asprin." He rubbed the bridge of his nose and turned around and began walking towards the entrance of the building. One, he had to put in that information itachi had given him into his phone and two, he needed to get that asprin to murder his head ache.

"hey, sasuke!" sasuke stopped and turned around, looking at a red faced naruto who was still picking at his lips, except looking at himself in the mirror as he did it. "thanks….for boosting my car for me."

Sasuke almost wanted to smile. It was an odd thanks, but seemed appropriate for the occasion. "yeah. Call me if you want me to boost anything else for you."

"you perverted bastard, go fall off a mountain! I don't care if I do get fired, you're still an asshole!!"

sasuke opened the building door and looked back at the fuming blonde who was pulling out of the garage.

Naruto pulled infront of his apartment complex, got out of his car and just stared at it. He still had no idea how to shut it off, so it'd be a good idea to just let it run…right? After a while, about two hours, his car finally died.

"so….now how do I fix the wires?" he mused before settling on the only way a man ever fixes anything. He'd get duck tape! He duck taped the correct colors together and then jogged down to the gas station, filling up a plastic tank-thing, stealing a cart from the nearby kmart and began his jogging journey back home while humming the pok'emon theme song. Everything kind of sucked. His car was screwed, he was all sweaty from jogging and soon he'd probably have to kill a big ass spider with a nearby shoe. He shivered. Damn hairy, huge, lots of eyed, fanged, many legged, night crawlers! He came back to his car and poured the gas into the tank before testing out the engine, which worked, and then going inside to take a shower.

sasuke sat at his computer desk, carefully neglecting his homework which still sat in his book bag and instead training his mind on the silver object that was sitting softly into his hand. The time had come where he had to go out and deal with that girl that'd run into him earlier at school. He had to think of an easy way to kill the girl in a way that seemed strictly coincidence, as was all the murders that seemed to settle around him. He was just a coincidental person. It wasn't his fault that people kept dying around him; just like it wasn't his fault that people seemed to die around everyone in his family.

Sasuke stood up and stuck the silver nugget into his pocket before heading out into the pathetic, optimistic world.

naruto sat on his couch, knees pulled up against his chest as he ate cookie and cream ice cream. He pulled the spoon full carefully up his knees while making car sounds, tracing the spoon over his knees and then shoving it into his mouth. He couldn't help that his parents, therefore being absolutely immature, had spoiled him. He looked at the TV and blinked as the news lady showed a helicopter picture of a fallen theater sign.

"It seems like the iron hinges had given out, resulting in the death of two teenage girls. Seventeen-year-old Tsuki Takamora and Sixteen-year-old Yamaki Yoshida."

"That's truly horrible..."

Naruto brushed off what the other news anchor had been saying and instead shoveled another scoop of ice cream into his mouth. It seemed like there'd been a lot more death in the city than usual. Glass shattering for comically unexplainable reasons and stabbing people in the temples, eyes and jugulars, metal supports randomly falling down and crushing people, seizers and mental breakdowns, which resulted in people committing suicide. There'd been an outbreak of influenza, which people who'd gotten the shots still end up dying from too! The city just seemed scary. Naruto ate another scoop of ice cream and switched the channel to something happier. After a few clicks, he'd managed to find a childhood favorite; Ed, Edd and Eddy!

"Sometimes I wish I lived in the country again." He mumbled and scooped another spoonful into his mouth. "You'd like it in the country Hana…" he swallowed. "They've got the best peaches and tomatoes. Blueberries are really good, too. I like the oranges though, because they're really easy to steal since the trees have a bunch of leaves!" he chirped and looked down at the sleeping tabby cat beside him. "I think you and I need to get out more, we can't ever have proper conversations anymore."

The cat spared him one glance before rolling onto her back and going back to sleep.

Naruto frowned, "love you too, Hana."

Reviews will be welcome whether you're giving a suggestion, praise or just telling me that I spelt something wrong. I should probably start on my studying but I'm going to use my facebook as an excuse to procrastinate so wish me luck on the test I'm going to bomb. Even though you're all complete strangers- I LOVE YOU ALL AND HAPPY EARLY HALLOWEEN!!!!
