"Hello cutie, I heard you sell out" Naruto heard a voice purr into his left ear. Naruto was getting his books for his next class, lunch was over and he couldn't afford to be late again. Obviously he was going to be held back. Naruto quickly turned around to see a tall figure looming over him, the boy was probably in the graduating class. He had short brunette hair and dark brown eyes, well build with a muscular body.

"Dear, god, it's going to be harder to get away then I thought," Naruto said quietly to himself. The boy looked down on him didn't hear.

"So?"

"Go find someone else" Naruto spat and waved the boy of in a dismissing gesture.

The boy didn't take it too well and grabbed Naruto by the wrist, dragging him along as he marched down the hallways to find the empty washroom. The whole time Naruto attempted to rip his wrist out from the tight grip, he even threatened to bit and kick. When they got to the washroom Naruto was thrown inside and the door was locked.

Naruto rolled his eyes, "Are you really that desperate?"

"I don't take nicely to those who reject and insult me"

"Well you better get used to it" Naruto pushed the boy aside but before he could reach the door he was yanked back by the hoodie of his sweat shirt. Making him fall backwards and land on his butt.

"Shit that hurt you ass" Naruto grumbled. The boy grabbed Naruto by the collar and pulled him up against the wall like a rag doll. Naruto knew what was happening by the time he felt the strangers hand slither up his shirt. Naruto felt gross; did this guy honestly think he would comply with some strangers perverted needs? Uh no. He pulled his leg back and then stretched it back out to kick the almost rapist in the nut sack. The boy groaned with pain, Naruto couldn't help but laugh at the agony on the stranger's face. Naruto lifted himself up to leave but was yanked down to the floor again. This time to be punched in the face instead of molested.

Naruto was the one groaning now. Both of his hands up to his cheek holding and rubbing the spot that was sure to bruise, Naruto once again tried to get up but a hand holding onto the hem of his shirt kept him down.

"You'll pay for this you whore," The boy growled.

"Right," Naruto bit the hand holding onto him, his teeth ripped open the skin of the boy's hand. A little bit of his blood spilled into Naruto's mouth, which he quickly spat out.

The brunette yelped in pain from the bite and let go, letting Naruto finally run off to his escape.

The next morning Naruto was standing in his washroom staring at the mirror. Of course this had to happen. Naruto thought as he touched the dark purple bruise that was forming under eye right on his cheekbone. He winced at the touch. Fuck it hurt.

"This was all Kyuubi's fault," Naruto cursed.

Of course it was Kyuubi's fault because of Kyuubi that damn rumor about Naruto being a whore started and because of that damn rumor he ended up in this position. Usually he could defend himself but this time the guy was much larger than Naruto. Thank goodness he got away before things got worse. He would have to stay away from everyone to avoid questions from Sakura and the rest of his friends about the huge bruise on his face. Them worrying about him was the last thing he wanted to deal with. Anyways it was his birthday soon; he didn't want them to be worrying about him during that special day. Honestly, Naruto could care less about his birthday but he knew how much his few friends loved to celebrate with him. He wouldn't want to ruin it but pushing his problems onto them. Also if Sasuke found out about this he would either get pissed off and tell Naruto off or he would make fun of him. Either or Naruto wanted to prevent both of those things from happening at all costs. Then there was Kyuubi. He would have to be avoided as well. Sure Kyuubi was a dick who liked to mess with him but he had kept these events at school a secret from Kyuubi because if Kyuubi found out well…god knows what would happen.

Avoid everyone … at least until his birthday maybe he would be lucky enough that the bruise would be gone or at least not as noticeable by the 10th.

But that planned failed greatly. The two people that he wanted to avoid the most were standing right there in his apartment glaring. Worse was these two people should have never, ever meet. Naruto was no longer worried about their reaction to his fist size bruise on the side of his face and was more worried about preventing a murder from happening in his house.

How could he have known that their timing was horrible? He never expected this extremely ironic event to occur.


Chapter Eight: Quiet Feast

I tried to avoid Sasuke but he obviously doesn't liked to be avoided and came to my apartment and yelled at me through the door things like:

"If you don't open this door this instant I'll-"

Well actually that's all he said because I wanted to refrain myself from hearing anymore of his horribly violent threats, so I opened the door immediately.

He didn't even bother asking why I was avoiding him I think he understood the moment he saw my disgusting bruise. He just dragged me into my own house and forced me to sit on the couch before speaking.

"Who did this to you" He says with venom in his voice.

"I don't know" I reply, which was in my defence the completely and utter truth.

Of course Sasuke didn't believe me and started yelling at me for not telling him. I kept saying that I didn't know, at one point I said that I was actually really high and decided to pee on a baseball field in my drugged up mind but then a baseball was hurled at my face and that I blanked out before I saw who it was. He didn't buy it.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Honestly what the fuck happened? It was Kyuubi wasn't it" Sasuke yelled.

"N-no it really wasn't…fine I'll tell you but don't freak out please I don't want you to make a bigger deal that I should be ok?" I told him, to this he nods.

"Ok so it happened three days ago when I started to avoid everyone…I dunno' I just don't want everyone to make a fuss. Anyways I was making my way to my locker after lunch but the this guy that I didn't know came up to me and well…basically he asked me to have sex with him but I refuses and then this happened" I say pointing at my bruise. "That's it"

Sasuke shook his head, "Uh, no that's not all that happened, spit it out Uzumaki"

"You sound like a mom, geez teme"

He just glares holes into me. I let out a long sigh out.

"I almost got raped ok? But it happens a lot so I'm ok. Nothing happened I kicked the guy in the balls and he punched me in the face. Then I bit him and ran off" I smiled

"What the fuck do you mean 'It happens a lot so I'm ok.' Are you really that much of an idiot that's not ok"

"I told you not to make a big deal anywa-"

"I'm not making a big deal I'm pointing out the obvious, one day you won't get away and one day you'll be fucked…literally. We have to do something about this" He says cutting me off abruptly.

"We? Why do you care anyways teme? Hmm? I'm fin-"

"No you're not fine you have a bruise on the side of your face that's the size of my hand and you apparently almost get raped a lot. Also I care because I do - that's all deal with it." Sasuke cuts me off again, "What we need to do is to find a way to get rid of those stupid rumors about you so this don't happen again"

"How are you going to do that, eh teme?"

"I'm not sure, but first we need to get that thing covered up"

"How?"

"Make-up of course… no I'm not doing it I'll call Ino over she's very good at covering up bruises" Sasuke says mischievously as takes his cell phone out and begins to type out a text message.

"Oh" I say lamely, after a few seconds of silence I snatch the phone away from him.

"What the hell…"

"I don't like her and I don't want her to come over and I don't need it to be covered up, I'm fine now leave" I delete the text he was making before throwing his phone back at him

He just stares at me for a bit, then he finally gets up off the couch to make is way out. But then I hear a familiar click sound my door makes when the door is being opened. I feel my heart speed up because there's only three people I know who have the key to my house besides me and one person I know who knows how to pick locks. Tsunade, Jiraiya, Sakura and Kyuubi. Jiraiya's out of town, Tsunade and Sakura rarely come over so that just leaves…

Fuck, fuck, fuck, I start to chant in my head, please don't be Kyuubi.

Damn it.

I bite my lip at the sight of the orangey brown haired boy. He stands there for a minute examining the view; he looks at Sasuke then me then Sasuke then my bruise then Sasuke.

Worst timing ever Kyuubi, worst timing. The two people who must never ever EVER meet have met.

"Who are you?" Kyuubi questions Sasuke.

"None of your business" Sasuke replies. Kyuubi snarls at him and Sasuke just glares.

Shoot, it's only been like ten seconds and they all really are out to kill each other.

Heck Sasuke doesn't even know that's Kyuubi yet and if he does…

"You did this to him?" Kyuubi points at my bruise.

"No"

"…"

"…"

"Ok well I think you should leave teme" I say nicely, trying to break the awkward tension. Sasuke doesn't move and continues to glare at Kyuubi.

Kyuubi raises an eyebrow when I say teme.

"Who is this kid to you kit?"

"Uh, my friend" I say in my most 'I'm-really-annoyed' voice I can pull off.

"I'd say he's your boyfriend, he's so protective. What? Got tired of me already kit?" Kyuubi chuckles

"Fuck off Kyuubi and get out of my house" I demand

"Thought so" Sasuke mumbles.

"What?" Kyuubi snaps at Sasuke's voice.

"I heard so much about you Kyuubi" Sasuke says this with a sweet loving voice that was filled with sarcasm.

"Never heard of you" Kyuubi says in the most monotone voice I ever heard him make. Sasuke's eye twitches, he glances at me quickly before opening his mouth to speak.

"Hn, whatever I was just leaving, have fun with your fuck buddy Naruto, talk to you later" Sasuke says bitterly before walking out. I flinch at the sound of the front door slamming shut violently. I just blink. That didn't turn out like I imagined.

A few seconds go by and I catch myself staring at the spot where Sasuke was just standing. I blink again and turn my head to look at Kyuubi who's just standing there silently.

"Well then that was interesting" Kyuubi mumbles.

"Yeah…So…I think you should leave now too" I manage to slur out.

"Fine, I'll call you later then and don't you dare try to avoid me again I have stuff for you to do," Kyuubi makes his way to the door but before he leaves I hear him shout back to me, "Oh, and you should probably run after your boyfriend the Prince of melodrama"

Once Kyuubi was gone I took out my cell phone to call Sasuke but then I realized that I never got his number. How the hell do I not have his number? Oh whatever. I had three choices leave Sasuke to go sulk or whatever, go after him, or find out his number in some shape or form. I went with calling Sakura who was a fangirl of his to get his number…she would have it right?. After a few rings I heard Sakura's voice come through.

"Hello Naruto, what's up I haven't seen you all week!"

"Yeah…I know this is weird to ask of you so randomly…I don't want to be rude-"

"Just say it!"

"Oh well um…do you have Sasuke's phone number?"

"No….why would I aren't you the one who's his friend?"

"Never mind then…I'll call you later ok?"

"Wait! I have Ino's number we're in a few of each other's classes so that's why…I heard she's his new girlfriend so maybe-"

"Sure whatever"

Minutes later I sit there staring at the napkin I had in my hands with Ino's phone number written on it. I glared at it. I really didn't like her, sure I never really met the chick but I still didn't like how she could throw herself at Sasuke the moment he was single. Whatever. I dial the number and wait.

"Hello? Who is this?" I hear a cheery voice answer. I want to gag.

"Naruto…I got your number of Sakura I need Sasuke's number since he's acting like a whiny bitch"

"Er…Oh…um…well he's with me right now actually"

I grunt, of course he is he runs off saying 'Have fun with your fuck buddy' to go to his fuck buddy. Oh the hypocrisy!

"Well?"

"Oh ok…um wait…SASUKE!" I hear Sasuke reply; he voice is quiet and seems far away. Then I hear the sound of the cell phone being passed to another.

"What dobe?"

"I don't even know… I just doing want you to be angry at me and you seemed angry and I realized I don't have your cell number so yeah I'm sorry for um …having a messed up life? Its' not my fault Kyuubi likes to stalk me. It's not like it can be helped."

"No it can be helped Naruto you can DO something about it" he grumbles angrily

"You know I can't do that…anyways I should be mad at you you're a fucking hypocrite to run over to you girl toy the moment you left" A long silence "So um…come over later? You don't hav-"

I hear him sigh, "He's gone?"

"Yeah, he left after you"

"Ok…I'll go over now"

I smile to myself; "Kay" The line goes dead.

Half an hour goes by before I hear a soft knock on the door. I run to open it only to see Sasuke standing there with his stupidly serious face. He holds up a bag that says 'Wonton House of Chinese Takeout.' Stupid name.

"I brought food" He walks in casually.

"Yes, I can see that"

Silence.

We sit in the couch quietly eating the Chinese food that was in these white paper boxes. The lack of noise makes me shift uncomfortably.

"So...how long do you think I'll have this" I say, pointing to the ugly bruise.

Sasuke shrugs, "Two more weeks?"

"What? Ughh maybe I do need to get it covered up I can't have this thing on my face during my birthday"

"Whens that?"

"The 10th"

"That's in three days" Sasuke says thoughtfully

"Yes teme, I'm aware of that"

"Naruto? Are you doing anything for your birthday?"

"Probably hang out with Sakura and my friends"

He nods.

More silence.

"You should do something about …Kyuubi…breaking into your house like it's his own"

"What can I do? He's really good a picking locks, at least I never gave him my house key"

"But he can still get in"

"Yeah well…I can't do much about it, anyways he only does that when I've been avoiding him and he's lost his patience so he breaks in to brag me to where ever to do whatever"

"You mean to be his fuck toy"

I glare at him, "Shut up, that's not all he makes me do"

"But you don't deny that you do, do it"

"…Well no."

"Then you're his fuck toy, no matter how many times you've done it or will do it or what else he makes you do – you're his toy"

I scrunch up my nose, "You make me sound like a slave"

"Well you are in many ways. He blackmails you to do shit and you do it. Simple as that. He plays around with you like a yo-yo…always attached to a string"

I try to say something back but words won't come out. I will myself to speak but words won't come out. I open my mouth hoping that something comes to mind to say, nothing. It's like I forget what words are, my mind is blank. For the first time ever I've been left speechless. Maybe because what Sasuke said was kind of…true? I let myself get treated like a hand puppet and do nothing about it because I'm scared of what might happen. I do everything Kyuubi demands blindly, sure I had my limits there was times where I didn't do what he asked but those were rare occurrences. After moments of silence I manage to speak but what I hear coming out of my mouth is pathetic.

"I can't do anything about it" I mumble quietly, I'm staring down into my box of Chinese food blankly. Kyuubi's voice from the time I ended up in this mess playing in my head, "But you owe me…Your mine now"

I expect Sasuke to yell at me again for saying something so weak but he drops it and turns on the TV instead. We spend the rest of the day quietly feasting on our take out and brainwashing ourselves with the mind rotting pointlessness of reruns of 90's sitcoms. He doesn't sleep over this time.


Sasuke isn't very happy that someone is using Naruto as a toy...You hypocrite teme ;l

Anyhow! There you go chapter 9 (once again sorry for all the typo's)
