Chapter Seven

Family Troubles

I looked at Naruto and sighed. Ever since that night everything has been pretty awkward… I can't even stand sleeping with him… I end up waiting till he falls asleep the I go sleep on the couch but I still end up waking up to his face…

Mikoto sighed. "Sasuke… Your father is coming home today…" She looked down. "He will be here in an hour…"

I stood in shock. An hour…? Why…? He was supposed to be gone longer than that… Why?! I stared at the ground. "I-I won't let him hurt you…"

Mikoto smiled and ruffled my hair. "Silly… Everything is going to be okay…"

Naruto stared at Mikoto. "Are you lying?"

She looked at Naruto and smiled. "You're so cute…" She walked to the kitchen and began to wash the dishes.

I stared at Naruto for a moment then looked at my wrist. "You have to hide in my room with your sister… Dad never goes in there…"

Naruto looked at me confused. "Why are you acting like this Sasuke?"

"When dad comes home he is usually aggressive… That's all…" I sighed. It never changes… Every time… Images of my dad hitting me and mom flashed through my head. Why is it always the same? I put my hands over my face and sat on the floor. Why is it always like this? I pulled my knees into my chest and tears stained my face. I felt somebody wrap their arms around me.

"It's okay Sasuke…"

"Naruto?" I wrapped my arms around him and cried on his shoulder. "Naruto…" I wonder why… He feels so warm and soft…

I smiled as Naruto crawled into the closet. "You'll be fine… Just stay here."

Naruto looked down. "We don't agree…"

I slammed the closet door and locked it. "Everything is fine!"

Naruto pounded on the door. "Sasuke don't lock me in here!"

I sighed and leaned my forehead against the closet door. "Naruto… Please stop… I'll be back…"

Naruto fell silent.

I knew everything wasn't going to be alright… But if it will make Naruto feel better, I'll keep lying over and over… If only to see that smile…

-Naruto-

I stared at the door as I heard Sasuke's footsteps move toward the door.

Naruto… Do you really plan on staying in here the entire time?

I sighed. Shut up… We are going to listen to Sasuke… Whether you like it or not…

What if something happens to him? What will you do then?

Shut up…

Just like what happened to our parents… They never came back that night did they?

Stop it… I heard the door open and I pressed my ear to the wall. He's here…

There was a loud slam followed by yelling.

My heart began to race. What if something does happen? What if I never see Sasuke again?

"We will be back right Naruto so don't go outside…"

They never came back…

Are you alone? I'll stay by your side…

That's how I met you…

"I heard that kid grows ears every full moon… How disgusting…"

Nobody ever liked me…

"I love you…"

Except Sasuke… I put my hands over my ears as I heard Sasuke cry out in pain. Stop… I began to feel dizzy and the noise faded away and all I could hear was my heartbeat. "Sasuke…"

-Sasuke-

I stared helplessly into Fugaku's eyes. "S-stop dad… You're drunk…"

Fugaku tightened his grip around my neck. "You don't know anything you are just some worthless kid."

Tears stained my face as I helplessly gasped for air. Why am I so weak? I glanced over at Mikoto who was out cold. I can't even help my mother…

Fugaku collapsed to the ground releasing his grip on my neck.

W-what happened?

Naruto hugged me. "Sasuke you are such a baka!" Tears streamed down his face. "You're not going to leave me!"

I looked away. Stop crying… I hate when you cry… So don't cry…

Fugaku looked at Naruto in disgust. "Get out of my house."

Naruto glared at him. "Don't touch Sasuke!"

Fugaku drew back his fist to punch Naruto.

Itachi slung open the door and grabbed Fugaku's arm. "Come on… You're coming to my house…"

I stood in shock. I can't believe I'm saying this but… I love my brother… Wait a second… Itachi doesn't have his own house…

Itachi smiled at me as he led Fugaku out of the house.

For some reason I think he is up to something… I looked over at Mikoto and sighed. At least mom is okay… "Hey Naruto… Where is your sister?"

"Oops…" He dashed into my room.

I smiled. "Hn."
