"Damnit Ino, NO!!" Sasuke yelled at her and glared. Naruto looked at him and nudged him as Ino brought the camera to her eyes again. Naruto held his hand out in front of him with a peace sign and slung her other arm around Sasuke. She heard him sigh and stick out his hand in a peace sign then wrap his arm around her waist.

"Cheese!" Ino said as the picture snapped again. Naruto laughed.

"That was fun, Sasuke-kun, hmm?" and smiled at him. And he smiled back. Then he ran a hand behind her neck and pulled her close. They touched lips and started to kiss. She got a little braver and licked his lips, asking for tongue. He slipped his tongue into her mouth and started to massage hers with his. Ino was taking pictures, nosey pig. Naruto felt his hand travel up her thy and was really turned on, but when his fingers touched the lining on her panties through her skirt, she gasped. And opened her eyes, only to see the sealing of Sasuke's bedroom.

It was all a dream.

For the next few days after the dream, Naruto tried his best to avoid Sasuke. But because of the little itty bitty detail that Sasuke was his 'guardian'. He could not avoid him unless he locked himself in Sasuke's bedroom. And so Naruto settled for just avoiding eye contact with the Uchiha.

Ever since that dream, Naruto has noticed that Sasuke was pretty good looking.

'Okay, he is extremely good looking' Naruto said to himself, as he spied on Sasuke who was looking for something in the fridge. The raven had just gotten out of the shower, so he had a towel around his waist and his hair was still wet. His conscience drooled at the sight.

Sasuke had to work today, so he had to be at his boss's office by eight; which was when Naruto's school started so it all worked out time wise.

"Naruto get ready! It's your first day of school and there is no way in HELL you are gonna be late" Sasuke yelled at him as Naruto scurried back into the bedroom to get on his school uniform, which they got in the mail yesterday.

At twenty minutes to eight, Sasuke pulled up to the side of the school and let Naruto get out. Before the blond boy shut the door to the car, Sasuke yelled to him.

"Oi, if any teacher, at all, asks you if you know Naruko, tell them you are her younger brother. Got that?" he asked Naruto who seemed to be staring at a spot over his shoulder.

Sasuke had noticed that lately, that Naruto has been avoiding his gaze and he noticed that it started happening after the night when Naruto mumbled the ravens name in his sleep.

"Yeah, okay" Naruto said and shut the car door. He watched as Sasuke drove away, then turned, took a deep breath, and walked into the school.

Sasuke sighed as he walked into his apartment. 'Slow day' he said to himself as he dropped his jacket on the couch and walked into the kitchen.

"Naru-" Sasuke stopped mid sentence; what he saw before him made his heart stop. He Saw Naruto leaning over the sink, his back to him. He was washing dishes. The light from the window in front of him was shining in; the counter on both sides of him was illuminated by the setting sun. But it wasn't Naruto himself that made his heart skip a beat; it was what was beside him.

Sitting on the counter was a beautiful girl, with long blonde hair with tanned skin and three whisker marks on each cheek. Her bright blue eyes staring into his with love, caring…And sorrow. The Translucent figure of Uzumaki Naruko.

She was wearing a simple white silk dress, which reached her thighs as she sat cross-legged on the counter top. She had large feathery white wings folded behind her. She was smiling yet her eyes held sadness, and hopefulness.

Sasuke stared wide eyed at her. He came out of his stupor when Naruto dropped a glass in the sink and made a lot of noise. Naruto swore to himself.

"Naruko" Sasuke said. Naruto turned around at the voice.

"Hey Sasuke" Naruto said. Sasuke glanced at the blond boy, and then switched his gaze back to the translucent figure of Naruko. She smiled at him and mouthed, 'I love you'. Sasuke blinked, and the angle was gone.

"Hey Sasuke, are you all right?" Naruto asked him. Sasuke turned his gaze from the counter top to the boy in front of him. The blond boy was looking at him with worried eyes. It was then Sasuke felt a warm tear stroll down his cheek. He was crying.

"I'm fine" The raven said coldly and turned away from Naruto. Then He felt a hand on his shoulder.

"No you're not fine" Naruto said, "What happened?" He asked again.

There was silence in the kitchen. The only thing that could be heard was the ticking of the clock and the sound of Kyuubi walking down the hall. A few seconds later, Sasuke let out a wavering breath.

"I just saw Naruko…sitting on the counter next to you…while you were over the sink" Sasuke said, his hand was covering his face; Naruto could barely make out what he was saying.

Sasuke suddenly felt something warm on his back and two arms snake around his waist, holding him to the spot, between the door way of the kitchen and living room.

It was two weeks later; Sasuke had come home from his patrols to find more than one pair of voices in his house. Sasuke walked across the living room and walked into the kitchen. He found Naruto and three other kids, all still in their school uniforms, seated around the table.

"Hey, Sasuke!" Naruto greeted and smiled at him, "These are my school friends, Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara. I invited them over, hope its okay" He said and scratched the back of his neck. Sasuke swept his gaze over the unfamiliar people in his kitchen. There was a blonde girl, a brunette boy, and a red headed boy. They all had green eyes but the red head had much brighter eyes than the others whose eyes were deep sea green.

"This is Temari, she sits in front of me in zero period" Naruto said, indicating to the blonde girl. Her hair was up in four pony-tails in the back of her head. She had ear rings on that had little fans on the end.

"This is Kankuro, his locker is next to mine" Kankuro had messy brunette hair. He was a big guy with a narrowed gaze.

"And this is Gaara; he sits next to me in third period". Gaara's fiery red hair defiantly stood out, he had on thick black eye liner and a glare.

"They're siblings" Naruto added, "Oh yeah, and this is Sasuke, he's my guardian" He said. Sasuke nodded and walked over the fridge, opened it, and grabbed a soda.

"Don't burn down my house, Naruto" he said and left the room. As soon as he got into the living room, the phone rang. He picked it up.

"Hello?" He asked.

"OH MY GOD, SASUKE!!!!!!" Screamed the voice of Sakura.

"Sakura, what's wrong?!" He asked, from what he could tell, Sakura was crying.

"It Neji, h-he's in the ho-hospital, there was a-an accident, please, come here…" Sakura sounded stressed out and he could tell she was freaking.

"Sakura, where are you?" he asked as calmly as he could.

"At the hospital. Tenten and Hinata are here, but the others are stuck in traffic or work. Please come to the hospital!!!"

"I will, I will. Sakura, calm down, I'll be there as quick as I can, okay, Bye" He said

"Bye" She said and Sasuke hung up the phone. He turned around and saw Naruto in the kitchen door way.

"What happened?" He asked, his eyes wide. Sasuke could see his friends behind him in the kitchen.

"Neji's in the hospital, send your friends home, and get in the car" He said and swiftly walked into the bed room, he took off his work uniform and quickly changed into jeans and a t-shirt. No shoes. When he got back to the living room, Naruto had Sasuke's wallet and car keys in his hands.

"Let's go" he said. Sasuke nodded and the two of them ran out the door.

"Sakura!" Sasuke yelled as he caught sight of her pink head. They had arrived at the hospital and ran in, about five seconds later they had found Tenten, Hinata, Kiba, and Sakura sitting in the waiting room. Sasuke ran over to her and started asking questions.

On the ride over, Naruto noticed that Sasuke looked so…scared. He was running a hand through is hair in frustration and anxiety at red lights, and he was a tad disoriented while driving. Then Naruto remembered that Sasuke's lover died in a car accident. 'He must not want to loose someone again'. He thought as he watched Sasuke run down the hall to Neji's room.

He looked to Sakura after he had seen Sasuke disappear into a door down the long hallway. Kiba was pacing, Tenten was wringing the hem of her shirt, and Hinata was comforting Sakura, Who were sitting next to him. He turned to Sakura and smiled reassuringly.

"He'll be alright" He said.

Sasuke rushed down the hallway of the hospital till he found Neji's room. He opened the door quietly and shut it behind him. He walked over to the bed. Neji was covered in bandages; he had one on his head, and a few on his collar bone, arms, and leg. His other leg was in a cast. In short, he was pretty beat up. Sasuke sat on the couch and watched him sleep. A doctor came in about five minutes later.

"I-Is he gonna live?" Sasuke said shakily, he was eyeing the bandage around Neji's head.

The doctor smiled at him, "He's gonna be okay, but the cast has to stay on for three months".

Sasuke relaxed in his seat and sighed thankfully "Good, I don't want another loved one of mine to die in an accident" He said as the doctor injected morphine into Neji's upper arm, and left the room.

Sasuke walked over to Neji's bed and smirked at him. "Don't you dare die on me. I'd have to kill you if you left us, Neji. Naruko's not ready to see you yet" He mumbled the last part as he walked to the door. He turned around one last time to look at his friend. And something amazing happened.

The light from the window flooded in as the clouds parted. As the sunlight hit the floor, the translucent Naruko angel appeared. She was wearing, yet again, the white dress, and he wings her at her sides. She looked at Sasuke and smiled; she waved at him a little, and then looked back to Neji. She bent down and whispered something in his ear, and kissed his forehead, when she stood up again, the clouds shifted back into position, leaving the room feeling rather gray. Then Neji's eyes slowly opened.

"S-Sasuke?" he asked. Sasuke walked swiftly over to his bed and bent down to his level. Neji looked over at him and whispered.

"Naruko. Naruko t-told me to g-go back" He said and smiled at him. "She's watching over us" Neji said. Sasuke stood up, his eyes were watering again.

"You should rest, go back to sleep" Sasuke said as he looked at Neji. Neji chuckled lightly.

"Could you send Sakura in?" he asked in a whispery voice. Sasuke nodded and left the room.

He walked down the hallway and into the waiting room, he found that almost everyone was there except Lee and Ino. Almost everyone stood up as he entered the room. Sakura ran to him.

"How is he?" She asked fervently.

"He's fine, he wanted me to tell you to see him; he's awake now" He said, and Sakura bolted down the hallway.

He turned to the others, all of them had questioning faces on "He's gonna live, Naruko told him to come back" He said and he told the story to his friends.
