Chapter 9: "You Loyal Dog."
10 years later...
"Are you going to come with me to see your mother?" Minato asked. Naruto looked up from his algebra book with a mouth full of toast. "I don't think so. I have to study for a test with Kiba." The older blonde gave a stern look that Naruto noticed. He rolled his eyes like any teenager being annoyed by their parents would. "Dad, it's already set. I can see mom anytime, today is the only day I can get together with Kiba."
"That's not true. You and Kiba hang out together all the time, and you're telling me this is the only time you can see him." Naruto closed his book and threw his last bit of toast onto the plate that sat in front of him. He got up from his chair and strolled past his father and went up to his room.
Minato closed his fists on the counter and took a deep breath to keep himself from loosing his head. "Alright." He sighed. He strolled to the living room and grabbed his car keys off of the coffee table. "I'm leaving, Naruto!" He walked to the end of the staircase. "If you go anywhere, leave me a note so I know were you are, ok?" He shouted. There was no reply. "OK?" He shouted louder. "Yes dad! I heard you!" He heard his son scream, followed by a door slam. The older blonde stared up the empty case of stairs for a second before walking out with the door slam.
Naruto put his book in his bag and zipped it up. He through it down on his bed and sat down rubbing his hands over his face. (I really want to see mom. I haven't seen her once since they took her to that mental hospital. It's been so long, I almost can't remember what her voice sounds like.) He layed back on his bed and stared up at the ceiling. (Damn it... she shouldn't even be in there in the first place. She's being punished for telling the truth. She told them Sasuke did it... but... I'm sure she didn't sound to credible when she said it was a puppet. Even if I told them what really happened, it wouldn't matter. No one would beleive me anyway... Besides, I can't sell out Sasuke.)
"Oh my, looks like someone really wants to see his mommy." Naruto shot up and turned to see Sasuke. "How'd you get in?" The raven smoothed the fabric of his shirt and casually leaned against the wall by the door. "I used the door. Your fucking idiot father doesn't know how to lock doors. Which really isn't a good thing," He smirked. "Someone could come in and... hurt you, Naruto."
Sasuke pushed himself off the wall and began walking over to the somewhat shaken blonde. "That's kind of scary to think about, don't you think?" He placed his hand on Naruto's waist and tried to pull the blonde's body closer until Naruto pulled away. "Sasuke, knock it off. I thought you were done with that shit." Sasuke's smirk grew. "What shit?"
Naruto grabbed his bag off the bed and headed for the door. "Were the hell are you going?" Sasuke asked with his usual superior tone. "I'm going to the library."
"With who?"
"Nobody special."
"Who?"
"It doesn't matter." Naruto turned away to leave agin, but was pulled back with hard force. He felt the familiar pain rush through his body, as he looked up from the ground into peircing black eyes. "It matters to me." Sasuke hissed out.
(I can't tell him.) Naruto thought. (He hates Kiba. He's always hated Kiba.)
Sasuke stared down at the blonde. He didn't like doing things like this to Naruto. Naruto was his. His friend, his soul, his love. Nothing could change that. But Naruto didn't feel exactly the same. Sasuke knew the blonde loved him, but only in the way a dog loves his abusive owner. Always coming back to the pain, but not really sure why.
He couldn't help it. Even though he was released from the confides of that puppet, he still needed the strength and pleasure that came from the fear and pain of others, especially Naruto. Seeing those blue eyes full of fear, his face lifted into shock from the pain gave him more pleasure than killing a child slowly.
"Tell me who your going with." Oh, right. He's also very teritorial. No one gets to Naruto unless Sasuke is sure they wont look at the blonde for more than two seconds. "I-I'm meeting Kiba." Sasuke stiffened then smirked. "Fine." He stepped over Naruto then opened the door. "What?" Naruto turned over and got to his feet. "I thought you hated him."
"I do. But I know I can be sure that there wont be any problems from him." Naruto crossed his arms and glared. "How can you be so sure?" He asked with a challenge. A smirk spread on the raven's face as he leaned close and whispered into Naruto's ear. "I know that you know I'm always watching." Naruto's strong glare fell as Sasuke continued. "Remember what I told you? Wherever you are, I'm there. Whenever you think you're alone, I'm there. Keep that in your head, dobe, I'm always there somewhere. You can't hide." Sasuke chuckled, and with that he left.
Naruto looked around feeling his regular paranoia setting in. Sasuke always told him that, therefore he always felt like everytime he turned around Sasuke would be there. It wasn't the best way of living.
000000 AT THE LIBRARY...
"Hey, waaazz up, bro?" Kiba hollared tossing his bag onto the table and pulling the chair out. As he sat down he eye balled his blue eyed friend. "Damn dude! You look like shit!"
"Shhhhhh!" Hissed the librarian. Kiba stuck his tounge out at her and laughed to himself. "Yeah," Naruto leaned in his chair. "My dad keeps getting on me about seeing my mom."
"Don't you want to see her? I mean, I know what she did, but that was a long time ago."
"I know but..." Kiba recognized the loose weakened expression Naruto always had when he brought up... HIM.
"Naruto, I swear to god, if you tell me you're not seeing your mom because of that ass, I'm going to hate you forever." Naruto didn't respond. Kiba shifted awkwardly shifted in his chair. "What the hell is wrong with you? What kind of relationship do you have with that guy? He's has you in a tightly sealed box. Even in preschool, you've been following all these rules he has for you, and now this."
"You don't know what you're talking about. Did you ever think there's a reason he's like that?"
"Really? Is there a reason, other than the fact that he's a total freak?"
"Shut up! You don't know him like I do."
"Yeah, thank god for that." Kiba snarled. "Let's just drop it."
"Yeah, let's do that." Naruto hissed back.
(He makes sense. Why do I always do what Sasuke tells me too. It's not like he's here to enforce anything... atleast I think he's not.) Naruto glanced around the room and scanned through the people, none of them were Sasuke. (Maybe I can just tell Kiba. Tell him everything. He's my best friend. I want to tell him.)
"Kiba?"
"What?" The brunette looked over at his friend. "I want to tell you-"
"Dobe." Naruto was interupted. Both Naruto and Kiba looked over to see the one person that they BOTH didn't want to see. "Sasuke..."
"I said come here." The coldness that came naturally seemed to enhance with his glare made the blonde's soft pink lips quiver. With a silent gulp Naruto stood up.
"You loyal dog." Kiba muffled.
As he walked to Sasuke he placed a fake smile on his face, trying to convince himself that there was nothing to worry about. "Hey Sasuke."
Naruto cringed when he felt the stone hard grip came down on his arm. "Ow, stop, that hurts." The raven jerked Naruto's arm so there faces were close. "I know what you were going to do."
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't play stupid. Come on." Sasuke began dragging him out of the library.
Heeeeeeyyyyy! Aren't you like freakishly happy that I got a new computer! OOH, guess what... I have like this reeeeaaalllly awesome idea for the next chapter. It'll be verrryy dramatic. o,O
