Chapter 6
Two figures sat in a large cement room. The floor was a crisp brown, the walls a cream color. Some of the paint was peeling off revealing an older pink color. A guy with long black hair and yellow eyes, they looked more like a snakes than a humans, sat at a wooden oak desk. The other sat in the chair on the other side of the desk. The guy had short natural gray hair with oversized glasses. Both were wearing dark outfits, four black cloaks with red clouds on them were nailed to the walls in different places.
"So Naruto has a little boy toy eh? And it's Sasuke Uchiha?" Came the snake like voice from the man at the desk.
"Yes, Orochimaru I saw them going at it when he dropped Naruto off at his place." The gray haired man said. Orochimaru smirked at the news.
"Well we will just have to use that as an advantage. Naruto is smart. He would give everything up just to save his little boyfriend." Orochimaru said with slight glee.
"Kabuto I want you to keep an eye on him during the next week. By then I want a date when he will be alone, and then I will go to him and tell him what he should do to keep his friend alive."
"That's going to be harder then you think." Kabuto said with a nervous voice.
"Why's that?" Orochimaru asked. Kabuto stood and placed a brown folder on the desk that Orochimaru sat at. A picture of an older version of Sasuke turned side ways, talking with a picture of Naruto sat open for Orochimaru to see.
"Because his bodyguard is Itachi Uchiha." Kabuto said. Orochimaru stood and slammed his hands on his desk.
"DAMNIT!" Orochimaru yelled. His eyebrows were pressed together and Kabuto backed up two steps when he saw the angered aura around his boss.
"He will never let Naruto out of his sight!" Orochimaru sneered and fell back into his seat then added in a whisper. "I want Naruto!" He added with an overly childish pout. Kabuto sweat dropped slightly at his boss.
"That's not all true either. It seems that Itachi is leaving Naruto alone tonight." Kabuto said quickly, trying to bring reality back.
"You don't say. Then I think I'll be visiting my little Naruto tonight then." Orochimaru said with a sly smile. Kabuto nodded and then gave him the address and time Itachi wouldn't be there.
"You will have to be careful. There will be a cop car outside watching the building. So don't be seen, I'm sure the police are still after you." Kabuto said. Orochimaru chuckled deeply.
"Yes those idiots think they can find me." Orochimaru said with a laugh. Kabuto nodded in agreement.
"So they put Itachi Uchiha in charge of our little blonde friend huh?" Orochimaru said with venom in his voice.
"Yeah, do you know why Itachi has such a grudge over you?" Kabuto asked. Orochimaru looked at him.
"Oh yes, a group of our guys did something to his little brother. Itachi's been after us since, I'm surprised you didn't know that." Orochimaru said.
"What'd they do?" Kabuto asked. Orochimaru smirked.
"Well…"
(A/N: only giving you that little hint. Nothing more! You won't find out yet.)
"So you will be fine alone tonight right?" Itachi asked as he sat down on Naruto's red couch. Naruto walked into the living room wearing just a pair of deep blue sweat pants.
"Uh yeah I'll be fine. You have one of the cops watching over the building. I should be just fine." Naruto said not looking his bodyguard in the eyes. Itachi smirked slightly
"Something happened on you're date today didn't it?" Itachi asked. Naruto blushed a deep red.
"No-nothing happened." Naruto said and then walked out of the living room. Itachi's smirk grew and he trailed after him quickly. They ended up in his kitchen. The tiles were a light cream color. Naruto was sitting at the light blue island that divided the kitchen into two parts. Itachi walked around and sat in front of him.
"Want to talk about it? I can always pester my brother about it at the party tonight." Itachi asked with a sly smile. Naruto looked up at him and leaned back slightly.
"No I don't want to talk about it." Naruto told him and then laid his head down on the surface of the island. Itachi's smile dropped.
"Did you not enjoy the date?" Itachi asked Naruto looked at him.
"The date was wonderful. Sasuke was amazing. I just don't know what to do." Naruto admitted to him. Itachi frowned lightly at him.
"What happened?" He asked the blonde once again.
"He kissed me." Naruto said and winced when Itachi shoot up, ran around the island and pulled him into a giant hug.
"I don't see the problem here Naru. I think it's great." Itachi said once he let go of the poor blonde, who was hyperventilating at the fact that Itachi had hugged him!
"It is a problem though. I'm straight; at least I thought I was. I don't know how I feel about him. And what happens when I have to leave again? Huh. I don't want to start a relationship and then have to leave a few weeks later." Naruto said with a sad voice. Itachi patted his back lightly.
"Naruto, everything will be fine. I'm not going to let you move again, and neither is Tsunade. She's already told me that this is you're last move. That's why you're name went back into the records, and she said it's not right for you to keep moving place to place when you're in high school." Itachi said to him. Naruto looked at him and shook his head.
"She says that every time I move. 'This will be you're last move I promise' and what happens? Something happens that's what and I'm off again. It's been that way ever since Kyuubi." Naruto said and cringed when he said his uncle's name. Itachi smiled down at him.
"Naruto, you think this is some kind of curse right?" Itachi asked and sat next to his charge. Naruto nodded.
"Naruto sure you've had a bad past. And sure you've seen some things, but it doesn't rule you're life. You rule you're life, no one else. If you don't want to move again just don't. Even if something does happen, I'll make sure you don't leave. Tsunade put you here on purpose Naruto. You have Gaara, Deidara, and Iruka, who was you're fathers student. I'm pretty sure she means to make you stay here." Itachi told him and Naruto looked at him with teary eyes.
"Do you really think…? I won't have to move again?" Naruto asked. Itachi nodded.
"I promise I won't let you move again." Itachi said and pulled him into a hug. Naruto nodded again.
"Thanks." Naruto said.
"Hey no problem, but you should think about letting you're self free Naru." Naruto gave him a confused face when they pulled away. "I mean about you're dreams Naruto. And decide how you feel about Sasuke. I'm sure if Sasuke kissed you then he likes you." Itachi said and Naruto nodded.
"You confuse me a lot, you know." Naruto said. Itachi smiled again.
"Yes, I know." Itachi looked to the clock and swore. "I have to go sorry." Itachi said, Naruto nodded and Itachi left with out a word. Naruto sighed and laid his head on the counter again. What did he mean by my dreams? It all revolves around Kyuubi… Hey, that bastard wants me to meet with HIM! What does Itachi know about that! I don't want to see that guy ever again! Itachi doesn't eve know what all he did to me. Even if old lady Tsunade told him he still doesn't know everything. I won't see Kyuubi again EVER again!
With that decided Naruto went into the living room and crashed on the couch. He grabbed the remote and turned the TV on. He sat there flipping the channels. Oh god there is nothing on! I'm so bored! Naruto had just flipped the channel when something caught his eyes. It was Sasuke, Sasuke was on TV. Why the hell is Sasuke on TV? Sasuke was dressed in a dark blue suit with a red tie; his dress shirt was a cream to a white color. His hair was the same style as it usually is. But he seemed more pissed off then usual. How did Naruto know? Probably due to mean scowl on his face and the massive amount of girls crowded around him. Naruto chuckled lightly.
"Sasuke Uchiha, may we talk to you for a minute?" Asked the blonde reporter. She was tall with blond hair that was pulled up into a bun on top of her head. Other pieces of hair where down, but it looked like it was done that way. She had a light purple top on. You could also see the white dress shirt underneath. She had on a medium black skirt with black dress shoes that had silver buckles on top of them. In one hand she had a microphone and the other hand was placed on her waist. Sasuke turned and scowled at the camera. Then a hand clasp down on Sasuke shoulder.
"Why of course, Sasuke would be honored to have you interview him." Said a tall man as he came into view of the camera, if it was possible Sasuke scowled even more. The man had long black hair and was pulled back into a low ponytail much like Itachi's. But this man had winkles on his face, and had gray hairs through his hair. He wasn't as pale as Itachi and Sasuke either. But his eyes were as dark as the two brothers. He was dressed in a black suit with a black tie. His dress shirt was a bright white with a red outlining on the collar. Wonder who that is? Questioned Naruto as he sat on the couch watching it play out. Sasuke doesn't look like he's having fun.
"Fugaku Uchiha! How is the business going? What is the main reason for this party tonight?" Asked the reporter. Fugaku smiled at her and Sasuke just stood there scowling like usual.
"The business is going great. And the main reason for this party is to raise money for charity." Fugaku said sweetly and Naruto saw Sasuke roll his eyes as his father's statement. Maybe I should help him out. Naruto thought then decided to watch him suffer for a few more minutes.
"Sasuke I'm Lola Latonia from the Konoha press. So Sasuke how is it to be the son of someone like Fugaku Uchiha?" Asked the blonde reporter. That's Sasuke's father! Wow they do look like each other, somewhat. Naruto thought. He saw Sasuke twitch slightly before answering since his father still had his hand on his shoulder.
"It's wonderful to be his son. My father is amazing at his job and I wouldn't trade him for anyone." Sasuke said trying to sound sweet to the reporter. Naruto laughed out loud as he saw Sasuke squirm. Naruto finally took pity on him and grabbed the phone and dialed a number. Naruto smiled when he saw Sasuke look down at his pocket that had the phone peeking out and then pulled out of his father's grip.
"I'm terribly sorry, but I have a phone call." Sasuke said with a smirk that made a few girls squeal in the background. Fugaku frowned at his son but the reporter just smiled sweetly at him.
"Of course, I bet it's you're wonderful girlfriend. We will just have to pick up were we left off later." She said to him in a high voice. Fugaku smiled at to the camera.
"Thank you very much Mrs. Lola." Sasuke said and then made his way out of view of the camera.
"Hello?" Came the voice on the other end of Naruto's phone.
"Hey." Naruto said and leaned farther back into his couch.
"Naruto?" Naruto smirked.
"Yep, I'm bored, so I called you." Naruto said.
"You have no idea how much you just saved me."
"Oh yeah I'm sure I know. I saw you on TV." Naruto said with a slight laugh.
"You saw that huh?" Sasuke asked
"Yeah I took pity on you. Did you know you were twitching?" Naruto asked and heard a laugh on the other end.
"Yeah I tend to do that when I'm aggravated. I hate coming to these thing. My father makes me come so he can look good."
"So that's you're father?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah. Naruto?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes Sasuke."
"Listen I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for kissing you like that. But I wouldn't take it back." Sasuke said. Naruto nodded but then remembered that Sasuke couldn't see him.
"Sasuke, it's okay. I didn't punch you or push you away. Don't be sorry, I liked it. I was just blind sided by it that's all. I thought I was straight, but I'm thinking I'm not." Naruto said and he could swear he heard a sigh of relief.
KNOCK! KNOCK! Naruto got up and walked out of the living room.
"Really?" Sasuke asked with a hint of glee.
"Yeah hold on someone's at my door." Naruto said.
"Okay." Sasuke said. Naruto opened the door and gasped, then took a few steps backwards away from the door.
"Naruto!" Sasuke asked worriedly, no answer. Naruto just kept backing up as a figure walked through the door with a sly smile.
"NARUTO! WHAT'S WRONG! WHOSE THERE!" Sasuke yelled into the phone. The door shut behind the figure and a lock was heard. Naruto kept walking back even further.
"NARUTO!" Sasuke screamed in frustration.
"NARUTO!" Sasuke screamed into the phone. His heart was racing as he thought about what was happening. What if Akatsuki got him, his eyes widened at that thought.
"Hey what's going on?" Asked a voice from behind him, Sasuke jumped and turned to see his older brother in a gray suit.
"I don't know. There was someone at his door, he went to answer it. I heard his gasp and he hasn't answered me since." Sasuke said in a panic. Itachi nodded.
"We're going over there NOW!" Itachi said and turned to leave. Only to be faced with a sour looking Fugaku. Itachi had to keep him composure in front of his father, but Sasuke was flipped his phone closed.
"Where are you going?" Fugaku asked his sons. Both Itachi and Sasuke looked to Fugaku with complete determination.
"Not now father." Itachi said and walked away with Sasuke right on his trail. Fugaku twitched, face turned red and then followed his sons outside.
"You guys can't just leave, what will the reports say!" Fugaku hissed as he saw Itachi jump into the front seat of his black Jaguar. Completely ignoring his father as he started the car up.
"I'm sorry father but my charge is in trouble and I have to help." Itachi said and Sasuke got in the passenger's seat as Itachi gunned the engine.
"And he's my friend, so I'm going too." Sasuke said and the car pulled away before their father could say anything more. Fugaku fumed to himself then stalked back inside.
"W-wha?" Naruto asked as he moved backwards through his hallway until he hit the wall. Naruto's eye's glanced to each side when he saw the door leading towards the kitchen. It was a swinging door that gave him enough time to run for it if need be. He looked to the person who had barged into his house.
"You thought you could just leave me? Huh. Thought you could leave and not tell me anything! Don't you understand how much I love you?!" Screeched a high pitched voice that carried through the house.
"Ashley, I'm sorry." Naruto whimpered. Yes, that's right. In front of Naruto was the blonde known as Ashley. The crazy, over obsessed girl, with a knife raised over her head!
"Ashley just drop the knife and we can talk." Naruto said calmly. Her eyes were wild and puffy as if she had been crying; she shook her head at him before breaking into a bitter laugh.
"Oh we could have talked." More of the bitter laughter. "If I didn't see you make out with someone else, and that someone being a GUY! If I can't have you Naruto, no one will!" Screamed Ashley her eyes narrowed and she came closer. Naruto's eyes widened slightly.
"Ashley now let's not be hasty. You don't want to do something you'll regret. If you-" Naruto said and backed into the kitchen. The door opening as he went, he was half way through the door when she talked again.
"Hasty! I wouldn't have to do anything hasty if you had given me a chance in the beginning! This is all because you don't want to be touched since Kyuubi!" Ashley yelled at him. Naruto's eyes widened. NO! He let the door shut and be backed up some more. A second later the door reopened and Ashley was standing there. In one hand was the knife and the other keeping the door open.
"How do you know about Kyuubi?" Naruto demanded. Ashley smirked at him.
"So Kyuubi is still in rule of you huh." Ashley laughed at him. "I found by looking into you're past Naruto. You forget I'm rich and my father's in the CIA. I got a hold of you're file and Kyuubi's. I know everything and anything about you." NO! NO!
"He's doesn't rule me Ashley! He's behind bars and out of my life!" Naruto yelled at her and moved around the island. Ashley smirked at him and let the door fall shut as she walked fully into the kitchen.
"He still rules you Naruto. You just don't know it! You still freak out when ever you hear his name. I bet you still have those nightmares you had after wards." Ashley said in a mocking tone. Naruto shook his head as he started to lightly shake. NO HE DOESN'T!!
"You're wrong! He's doesn't rule my life anymore! You have no clue what you're talking about Ashley!" Naruto yelled at her again. Ashley glared at him.
"I don't really think you are in the position to be yelling at me Naruto!" Ashley sneered at him. Naruto was shaking badly now and shook his head back and forth. NNOO!!! Ashley smirked and walked over to him. He was too shaken up to do anything but stay still. Ashley laid the knife on the island as she passed it. Naruto backed up a little but she grabbed his chin roughly.
"I'm going to make you regret betraying me Naruto!" Ashley said before she pressed her lips on Naruto's. Naruto's eye widened and he began to shake more as memories flew threw his head. Naruto pushed Ashley away and ran for it. Through the other kitchen opening and into the living room. There was shrill laughter that echoed through the apartment. It made Naruto's spin go cold because it copied the laugh his Uncle use to make. Naruto hit the living room wall and slid down it. He pulled his legs to his chest and wrapped his arms around his legs.
"Nar-u-to!" His name was called out by a high voice but it soon turned to a male's voice half way through calling his name. Naruto's eyes widened and he covered his ears with his hands.
"Go away! Leave me alone! Haven't you done enough?!" Naruto screamed as he shook back and forth. There were foot steps that seemed to echo through the house for a minute.
"No Naruto, I haven't done enough! You left me, and I'm going to make you pay. Then I'm going to make sure no one can have you again!" Said a male's voice in front of him. Naruto looked up, at first it was Ashley with the knife in her hand but then it molded into Kyuubi. His red hair swayed without the wind as he held the knife above his head. The memory of his Uncle giving him the scars came back and his eye's widened a mile. It's not Kyuubi! It's Ashley! Kyuubi is in prison! He's not near me!
"NO! You're not here! Go away! You're in prison!" Naruto screamed and saw the confused look on Kyuubi. The confusion turned to a smirk.
"You see Kyuubi instead of me don't you?!" There was that laughter again that shrill laughter that made everything seem cold in the world.
"He's been warping you're mind so much you're starting to see him! This is what you get for leaving me Naruto! If you had considered my feelings for you! I would never be here! We would be off on some date! Having fun and I could help you get over Kyuubi!" Screamed Kyuubi/Ashley. Naruto shook his head not wanting to believe his Uncle was standing in front of him. Naruto closed his eyes and shook back and forth trying to get ride of the image. His chin was roughly pulled up and he stared into brown eyes. Naruto blinked and they were red now. Naruto tried to get out of the grip but he or she held him tight.
"I. Will. Not. Be. Ignored. Naru-to!" Kyuubi or Ashley hissed at him. Naruto winced, with tears streaming down his face. He looked past her but to her it just seemed like he was staring at her. His eyes were giving off the please-help-I'm-in-pain look in them and it made her laugh again.
"Hurry!" Sasuke said for the umpteenth time. Itachi was gripping the steering wheel, his knuckles were turning white.
"Sasuke. Shut. Up." Itachi hissed at his little brother. Sasuke flinched at the coldness. He then started to drum his figures against his knee.
"I'm sorry; I'm just worried about Naruto." Sasuke said. Itachi sighed.
"So am I. Don't worry to much we will be there in two seconds. It's lucky that he doesn't live very far from where that party was." Itachi said. They pulled down the street that held the apartment building and drove right up to the curb. Sasuke didn't even do a double take before running out of the car and into the building. He didn't even notice the snake like man that had walked in before they pulled up to the curb.
"Sasuke wait up." Came Itachi's voice from outside. That voice made Orochimaru sink back into the shadow's and out of sight. Just in time as the front doors fling open, and in ran Itachi dressed in formal wear. He ran right past Orochimaru and stopped the elevator right before it went to close. Itachi was pulled inside the elevator by his brother and Sasuke hit the close button before anyone else would disrupt him or before Itachi could turn around and see Orochimaru with wide eyes staring at them.
"Sasuke, you can't just run in there okay. Let me go in first, and then you come in when I tell you its okay. If there is someone in there that could be even the slightest dangerous, I don't want you in there." Itachi said as they rode up to the forth floor. Sasuke glared at his brother before nodding. Itachi sighed with relief that his brother hadn't put up a fight.
The ding told them they had hit the right floor. The door's opened to them extra slow. Once the doors were open enough to get through Sasuke was already out and heading towards the Naruto's door, Itachi right on his heels. They ran past two other rooms on that floor before they hit Naruto's front door. Itachi grabbed Sasuke before he could bang on the door. Sasuke looked to Itachi who had a finger pressed against his lips. He made a shush sound before pulling out a set of keys he had gotten. Sasuke nodded and stepped back to the railing to allow Itachi access to the door. Itachi stepped to the door and put his ear to it.
"NO! You're not here! Go away! You're in prison!" Yelled a voice Itachi recognized as Naruto's. Itachi's eyes widened he cursed and put the key in and turned the handle quietly.
"Call the police and give them the address. Make sure they hurry." Itachi whispered and then stepped into the apartment. He heard foot steps walking towards the living room so that's where he headed, still being as quiet as he could. Sasuke did as he was told, pulled out the phone and dialed the number for the police, he also stayed by the door as he watched his brother disappear around the corner. Itachi had his gun in his hands has he made his way down the hallway towards the corner that lead to the living room. He tried to listen to the conversation but only caught bits and parts of it, but what surprised him was it was a voice of a woman.
"… to see him! … Leaving me … feelings for … never be here! …date! Having fun … help … Kyuubi!" Itachi rounded the corner expecting to see a male but instead sees a tall blonde standing over Naruto with a knife in one hand. Itachi would have been happy that it wasn't Kyuubi if it wasn't the fact that Naruto was shaking horribly back and forth with his eyes closed. He watched as the blonde bend down and grabbed his chin.
"I. Will. Not. Be. Ignored. Naru-to." She had hissed at him. Itachi watched the tears crawl down his face as he looked up at her. Itachi could tell, even if the blonde couldn't, as Naruto looked past her and made eye contact with Itachi. He almost, again if he was anyone else but Uchiha, burst into tears because of the pain in the bright blue eyes. Itachi heard the crazy laughter again and raised the gun and pointed it at the blonde then he walked forward.
"Put the knife down, and I won't shoot." Itachi said in a loud voice causing the girl to jump up and turn around. Shock was clearly written on her face.
"Who are you?!" She sneered at him. Itachi glanced at Naruto who was crawling away from her but not doing a very good job since he was still shaking like crazy. He was terrified, Itachi could tell. He glared at her and could tell she shivered from the Uchiha death-glare.
"I'm Naruto's bodyguard. If you don't mind drop the knife or I will shoot you." Itachi sneered at her, making sure to get the point a crossed he motioned with his gun to drop the knife. She nodded slowly and dropped the knife to the ground. It hit the floor with a clang that echoed through the room, Naruto winced and back up even more.
"Kick it towards me please." Itachi said, even though he had said please he still sounded cold and uncaring which didn't help Naruto at all. She did as she was told and kicked it towards Itachi. It slid across the carpet and stopped half way to him.
"Now take two steps away from Naruto and put you're hands on the wall." Itachi said. Again she did as she was told and stepped away from Naruto then put her hands on the wall. Itachi put his gun away as he stepped near her. He patted her down looking for more weapons, when he didn't find any he took her arms and pulled them behind her. He slapped the hand cuffs on her wrists and pulled her roughly across the room and made her knee down on the floor.
"Is there anyone else with you?" Itachi asked as he looked around.
"No." She said weakly. Itachi nodded.
"SASUKE! YOU CAN COME IN NOW!!" Itachi yelled. Naruto flinched again and Itachi mentally kicked himself for yelling. Sasuke was in the room in less than a second.
"Where's Naruto?" Sasuke asked. Ashley's eyes widened when she saw him and thrashed out at him. Itachi tackled her to the ground and she groaned in pain.
"This is you're fault! If it wasn't for you Naruto would be mine!" Ashley screeched. Sasuke dismissed her when he spotted Naruto shaking wildly; he was at his side in a flash.
"Oh god Naruto, are you okay?" Sasuke asked in a panic. Naruto looked weakly at Sasuke.
"S-Sasuke?" Naruto asked. Sasuke smiled down at him.
"Yeah it's me." Sasuke said in a sweet voice. Naruto's eyes widened and he slammed into Sasuke's chest and cried. Sasuke's eye's softened and he wrapped his arms protectively around Naruto and held him tightly.
"It's okay Naruto. I'm here now. I won't let anything happen to you anymore. I'm so sorry I wasn't here earlier." Sasuke whispered in his ear.
"Sasuke, why don't you take Naruto into his room, and did you call the cops like I asked?" Itachi said softly. Sasuke nodded and picked Naruto up bridal style.
"Yeah I called them. I thought I saw the cop across the street cursing and running towards the building." Sasuke said as he walked out of the room, the moment he did a tall guy ran into the room. He had short brown hair and bags under his eyes. He had on the standard police uniform on. It was a deep blue with red outlining. He had handcuffs on one side of the belt with a black metal stick. On the other side was his black gun in its dark brown holder. He had a pack of cigarettes in his pocket and a half smoked one behind his ear.
"I'm sorry I didn't even notice her come in. I must have fallen asleep." Said the cop, Itachi sighed and turned to him.
"You're lucky this wasn't an Akatsuki member officer Sarutobi. If this was an Akatsuki member Naruto would have already been gone." Itachi said and pulled the girl to her feet.
"Now take her down to the station and lock her up." Itachi said. Officer Sarutobi nodded and took her away and out of the apartment. She kept thrashing around yelling 'Naruto will be mine!' and 'Sasuke will pay'. Itachi dismissed her and walked out of the living room and into Naruto's room.
Sasuke had Naruto in his arms on his bed. Naruto was curled up in his arms and his face buried in his chest. Itachi could hear Naruto sobbing, and watched with tears in his eyes as Sasuke ran his fingers through Naruto's golden locks. Sasuke looked to Itachi with sad eyes. He had never seen Naruto like this. Sure he had only known Naruto a few days but still every time he had seen him Naruto was always smiling or glaring at him, but never had he seen tears. He tightened his grip and whispered in his ear. Naruto nodded and buried his face deeper into Sasuke's chest. Itachi walked over and pulled the blanket back and over the two.
"Just stay with him Sasuke." Itachi said softly as he tucked the blanket down. Sasuke looked to Itachi with determination.
"I'm never leaving him again." Sasuke said sadly. "I should have stayed with him." Itachi sat on the end of the bed.
"Sasuke, you couldn't have known that she was going to come. You had no idea. I'm his bodyguard I should have been here. I'm not going to make that mistake again." Itachi said. "If that had been Akatsuki I don't know what would have happened. Just comfort him and get him to sleep." Itachi added before he got up and left, only shutting the door half way. Naruto looked up at Sasuke with tears still streaming down his face and shaking slightly.
"It's not you're fault Sasuke. It's mine I shouldn't have let her get to me like that. I'm sorry I worried you." Naruto said and tried to move but Sasuke held him tight.
"Naruto this is not even close to being you're fault. Don't think that. It's not you're fault at all." Sasuke said to him and Naruto nodded weakly and leaned closer into Sasuke.
"Thank you Sasuke." Naruto whispered before he fell asleep. Sasuke kissed his forehead lightly before laying awake just watching him sleep. It wasn't soon after that he himself fell asleep his head resting peacefully on top of Naruto's head.
