~Last time~
Sasuke ran around a corner falling down and hitting his head on the wall falling unconscious.
Orochimaru emerged from his class room a few minutes later patting down his pants of any remaining dirt. 'Sigh…I will find a way to make Naruto mind…' he thought with a smirk before something ran in his path.
It was none other than the heart of Naruto affection Sasuke. At the mere sight of him Orochimaru sneered and grabbed him by his neck watching him struggle. "What's so special about you?" He threw Sasuke against the wall where he fell unconscious.
Orochimaru chuckled. "Silly boy Naruto is mine, his father has no rights and neither do you…Naruto will belong to me once and for all…" He said stepping over the boy and walking away.
Naruto wiped at his eyes trying to claim himself down.
"Come on Naruto stop crying pull yourself together" He said slashing water onto his face and looking into the mirror. 'Your nothing but a shameless whore who's willing to spread their legs open for anyone you stupid bitch' his reflection yelled back at him.
"NO…" Naruto smashed his hand into the mirror before running out of the bathroom and slowing down at the end of the hall. "I'm no whore…I do what I do to survive."
Naruto walked down the hall his eyes red and puffy, but no longer crying and his hand was but a dull throb at his side. He walked along the hall forgetting all about going to class. Lifting his head up along with his gaze he saw a figurer lying on the floor ahead.
'What is that?...' Naruto thought as he walked closer towards the image seeing that it was a person.
"Sasuke…?" Naruto questioned as he bended down and lifted the face of the person.
He gasped as he looked at the face of Sasuke. His eyes were closes, his lips were parted slightly, and as Naruto's eyes moved towards his neck he saw bruises ringing it. "Who…who could of done this?"
"Sasuke…Sasuke wake up!" Naruto hugged Sasuke towards his chest and placed his head at his beating heart. It was a thing his mother had done to him on countless times when she was still alive and with a mother's tone of voice whispered. "Sasuke it's time to get up."
Sasuke moved his head closer towards the warmth the sound of a soft voice and beating heart was all he heard.
'Is it…'
"Mother" Sasuke mumble
Naruto giggled and petted Sasuke's soft hair looking at his face.
'It's different…he seems more at peace' Naruto thought letting a small smile on his face 'We can't stay like this' He looked around the hallways missing a set of teal eyes glaring at the couple. He then picked Sasuke up bridal style and starting walking to the infirmary.
Once there he settled Sasuke against the wall so he could open the door to an empty room. As he picked Sasuke up again he slowly walked in shutting the door behind them with his foot.
"Hello?" Naruto looked around the small room before spotting a bed he could lay his friend on. "Is there a nurse in here…my friends been hurt" Naruto said while putting Sasuke down on his back.
At getting no answer he sighed. "Guess not…" Naruto looked back at Sasuke's body lying there on the bed. "Well at least you can rest." He looked at Sasuke's sleeping face.
"Oh Sasuke, you're bleeding" Naruto noticed that there was blood leaking from the top of his forehead and slowly matting with his hair. "Must have been from hitting his head, but…but why was he out in the halls and not in class?" Naruto petted the soft hair before going to the cabinet to pull out a rag and a bandage.
Naruto wetted the rag in cold water before heading back to the bed Sasuke was laying on. He moved the cloth in his hands slowly cleaning the blood from his hair as best he could then moving to clear the cut of its blood before placing the bandage over it. "Ah there you go, all better" Naruto leaned down and planted a kiss on Sasuke's forehead laughing at how similar this all seemed.
"Ah what am I doing?" Naruto thought out loud while blushing. "I-I need something to…umm to do…" He scratched his head nervously while looking at Sasuke's sweet plump lips then quickly looking away as if he was caught doing something forbidden. "Umm m-maybe I'll just read something…" Naruto blushed again.
He looked through his book bag for Sasuke's records trying to be quite as to not wake him and be caught with something he was not supposed to have. He opened the file to the last page he could remember reading eyes widening with each word that they pasted over.
"Hello…" Itachi sung into the phone as he picked it off of its receiver.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT THIS MORNING?..." a male voice yelled back.
"Now, now Kisame no need to-"
"TO WHAT? BE UPSET…OF COURSE I'M GOING TO BE UPSET WITH IT…" Kisame interrupted Itachi then took a breath and sighed. "You move away from me and all of a sudden you think its ok for you to cheat on me and with none other than your own brother, you make me sick."
"Come now love you know that's not what this is about" Itachi said through the phone letting his mask fall and quickly becoming serious. "Also I'm guessing if you saw that you can't be too far away from here, what's the occasion?" He hummed into the phone.
"Well I just wanted to warn you that Sasuke must not remember what happened to him or anybody else for that matter…" Kisame sighed "The leader was clear of that…and need I remind you that acting 'brotherly' is not helping the case…Itachi as your lover you must mask your emotions or everything you have done, you have worked for, will all be for nothing."
Itachi sighed rubbing the bridge of his nose. He knew that, he knew it from the start. That once he killed his family and got Sasuke trapped in the burning house there was no going back, but he never intended for Sasuke to be in the house and get hurt like he did. Itachi knew once he saved his brother from the flames he had to get away and forget. Of course it all worked in his favor when Sasuke had woken in the hospital with no memory and that's why they had to move.
"Hello…Itachi, Itachi you there?"
"Huh?...umm yeah I'm still here Kisame"
Kisame sighed "Itachi just remember the mission…" He waited for a reply and when none came he spoke softly to the person on the other end. "I love you Ita-chan…please come back safe" And he hung up the phone without another word.
Itachi chuckled to himself saying "I love you too" to the now buzzing phone and then hung up also.
"Kisame…I know it's hard to understand, but I did kill my clan for more than just a mission given to me…I-I did it because…" Itachi clenched his fist thinking of his father's cruel remarks and punishments; anything to touch his sons while his mother just watched and did nothing for years.
"I did it for you Sasuke…so we could be together without father or mother looking down on us"
"WHAT THIS CAN'T BE?..." Naruto quickly covered his mouth and looked towards Sasuke who was stirring in his sleep. "But...how can this be…there are no records." He reread the paper again and again but there was nothing there to tell how Sasuke got those burn marks other than the hospital notes.
"What could have happened?..." Naruto looked over at Sasuke whose eyes were opening. He quickly stuffed the file back in his bag and jumped to the bed side to greet Sasuke.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Naruto bent over Sasuke his hair tickling Sasuke's face.
"My head hurts…" Sasuke sat up swinging his legs over the side of the bed and rubbed his head feeling a large bump. "Huh...what happened?" He looked towards Naruto whose head was facing down.
"Naruto…what's wrong?" Naruto jumped onto Sasuke hugging him tightly and making him fall back. "I'm sorry…I was so worried S-Sasuke" Naruto hiccupped burrowing his head into Sasuke's chest. He smiled down at the golden hair and petted softly. "No I'm sorry…I didn't mean to worry you Naruto."
"…" Sasuke rolled his eyes and sighed. "Naruto I can't hear you when you mumble speak up"
He lifted his head off of his friend's chest and looked him in the eyes. "I-I…I want to know…" he trailed off afraid to ask to the rest.
"About what?..."
"About your family…w-what happened?" Naruto looked away breaking eye contact.
Sasuke stared at Naruto before smiling sadly. "I told you…I don't remember" Naruto's eyes sadden at this statement and they looked down towards his fumbling fingers before they quickly shot back up at hearing him continue.
"But…I do remember waking up and being told they we're gone" Sasuke's eyes blinked a few times trying to run the tears away. "All of them we're dead except me and my brother…" He looked at Naruto who was crying and reached out to wipe his tears away smiling thoughtfully. "That's all I remember"
Naruto hugged Sasuke tight crying on his shoulder. "Why are you crying Naru-chan?"
"B-because…I'm crying for you 'cause y-you want to…to cry but can't..." Naruto hugged tighter. "I'm crying…b-because we're…we're the same…" Sasuke looked at Naruto with a questioning gaze. "Naruto…wha-"
"Naruto" Sasuke was interrupted by a voice from the hall and the slamming of the door. "Naruto there you are…I've been looking for you all over." There in the doorway stood Garra.
"G-Garra…" Naruto let go of Sasuke while wiping his tears. "What do you want?" Naruto stood in front of Sasuke guarding him from Garra.
"Relax, relax" Garra threw his hands up in defense. "I've just came to find you so I could tell you that the principle is looking for you."
"Ah…What?" Naruto's face quickly went from shock to worry. "T-the principle, what c-could she want…ah Sasuke I've got to go but I'll be back in a few minutes." Naruto apologized and ran out the door pass a smirking Garra.
Sasuke sat there nervously trying to look anywhere, but at Garra when the door slammed shut and a clicking sound was heard making Sasuke flinch. "How dare you…" Garra slowly approached him his eyes darkening with his mood.
"Let me explain things for you Sa-su-Ke…" Garra pulled his hand out of his coat pocket to revile a pocket knife. He flipped it open staring at it before placing it under Sasuke's chin lifting it up so that they were eye to eye. "Naruto is mine...If you get too close to the fire you're going to get burned" Garra flicked the knife over his cheek.
Sasuke couldn't think, he couldn't breathe, was this really happening? 'No…" Sasuke thought. "No."
Garra looked at Sasuke frowning. "What was that?"
"I said…NO!" Sasuke grabbed Garra's wrist twisting it back until he dropped the knife. Garra screamed out in pain using his other hand to try prying Sasuke's hand open.
Sasuke sneered at his useless attempt to escape throw him to the floor. "You…You have no right to talk of Naruto that way…" Sasuke walked to the counter picking up a bottle of some sort and smashing it so that one end was sharp points of glass. "Naruto is not some prize for you to hold…" He paused in front of Garra. "Now let's see how well you bleed" Sasuke smirked raising the broken bottle up.
"Sasuke!" The glass fell from his hand taking a step back Sasuke breathed out his bodying shaking. "Sasuke let me in…Is something wrong…" The door flew open with a cracking sound as a panting Naruto stood in the doorway.
"Ah Sasuke…" He ran over to him noticing the glass and Garra sitting on the floor. "W-what happened here?" Naruto looked at Sasuke then to Garra.
"I-I…don't remember" Sasuke hugged onto Naruto who almost fell back. "P-please…just take m-me home." Naruto rubbed his back shushing him as he cried once again. "Okay, I'll take you back…" Naruto looked over to Garra then the mess. "Umm…Sorry about this Garra, but do you think you could clean this up…I would help, but…" he looked towards Sasuke.
Garra glared as his Naruto was showing so much worry and care for another person. "Yeah sure…just go" Naruto smiled and thanked him walking with Sasuke out the nurse's office. "I'm not done with you yet…you'll pay Sasuke"
