A/N: I would like to thank everyone that reviewed the last chapter and added this story to their favourites and follows.

'The teachers might hate you but you have me.'

Naruto sat up straight and swirled her head around, blue eyes still in a slight haze. I wanted to go back to that memory. She breathed in and out, trying to control the swirl emotions threatening to consume her again. The lack of black hair told her that her best friend escaped from her—again. She really shouldn't have fallen asleep but it had been so tempting to go back to the old days, where she would fall asleep whenever Sasuke lectured her about the lessons that she missed.

She took in several deep breaths and looked at her surroundings.

This wasn't her apartment.

What happened? Memories of her fight with Sasuke flooded into her mind and Naruto scanned the room, searching for any signs of her best friend. Her throat tightened when she saw it was only her in the hospital room. He escaped her grasp again. Just like the Valley of the End, her words didn't seem to touch him but that was fine. It was fine because she was going to get him back.

She had two goals now in this world: find a way back home and bring back her best friend to her side.

"It's good to see that you're awake, young Uzumaki," Naruto blinked and swirled her head to look at the door, where her teacher and a police officer stood. All Might just stared at her, his blue eyes shining with concern. "Young Bakugou carried you all the way back and Recovery Girl told me it was from exhaustion from using too much energy."

"What about everyone else?"

The superhero offered her a reassuring smile. "Everyone is safe and sound with just only some minor injuries. You were the only one that seemed to have pass out from exhaustion which begs me to ask…what did you and the villain do for one part of USJ to be completely wrecked?"

"Sasuke isn't a villain." The words came out automatically and without thinking, which earned a small frown from her teacher. She smiled widely at her teacher and looked out at the window, avoiding the man's searchful eyes.

"The other students informed me and the police officer that it seems like you have a relationship with young Sasuke." Naruto closed her eyes and took a deep breath, not bothering to deny the words spoken by her classmates and friends. There was a relationship between them; a relationship that Naruto couldn't even make sense of. "Can you explain how the two of you know each other?"

"Sasuke is my best friend," Naruto replied. "He has been my best friend since I was six-years-old and someone that has been a constant in my life."

'What's your name? My name is Uchiha Sasuke.'

'Uzumaki Naruto!'

The question might not seem much in the mind of a six-year-old but to Naruto, it meant the world to her. Someone wanted to get to know her. The question gave her hope that someone wanted to be her friend and that was what happened. Sasuke played with her, helping her make sandcastles in the sand pits and pushing her in the swings.

He helped her do homework and comforted her whenever she thought there was some ghost in her apartment. When the Hokage refused to tell her about what her parents looked like, it was Sasuke that stole his parents' yearbook and combed through the pictures with her for any hints of who her parents were. He might not have completely defended her from the fangirls, but he made her feel special.

"Did you tell him about the school in your conversations or anything?" The police officer asked.

"How could I tell him? I didn't even know that he was in this country," Naruto said, keeping the smile on her face. Both of the adults looked at her with concern but the girl kept the smile on her face. "We might be the best of friends but the both of us haven't seen each other in three years."

"But do you have any clues that he would join a criminal groups? Any signs in your childhood? We tried to get any information about your friend but the only thing we have are potential links of crimes that he committed."

She clenched her hands against the blankets and hardened her eyes. Sasuke told me that he would do anything to get back home. It really didn't surprise her. She knew from their fights and the words spoken by him that he would forsake any morals he had, to get what he wanted. In the Valley of the End he tried to break their bond because he thought they made them weak.

Sasuke could try and be a Villain but Naruto knew that her best-friend could never become a villain.

"Sasuke isn't a bad person and if he did crimes then it was because those Villains made him an offer that he couldn't refuse." She knew from Sasuke's words that if they had never dangle him the chance of going back to their world then he probably would never join them. "I know him."

All Might pressed his lips into a thin line. "Do you have any clue on what they could offer him?"

He told me and I can't exactly blame him for taking the offer. Three years ago, if someone dangled the opportunity to go back home then she would take it. This world was nice and it was great, but this wasn't her home. The clothes were too different, the technology was too advanced but most of all Naruto missed her friends in the village.

She might be okay if Sasuke was by her side, but the bastard chose to abandon her.

"I have some clue but you won't believe me," Naruto admitted, lying back down on the bed. Blue eyes stared up at the ceiling, her best friend's words echoed in her ear. She wanted to lie but she wasn't stupid. If they knew her connection to Sasuke then they would have someone who could detect her lies.

"Young Uzumaki, Detective Tsukauchi will know if you are making a story up," All Might reassured her. "Tell us what you know about the potential offer those villains could have given to your friend."

Naruto took a deep breath and pressed the sides of her head. There was a throbbing sensation around the sides of her head as her heart and brain wared about telling her teacher and the detective about the offer that Sasuke told her about. At this point she tried everything when it came to going back home—except telling the truth to the authorities.

Perhaps these people had a better clue on how Sasuke and her could go back home.

"They offered him the chance to go back to our world," Naruto finally admitted.

Detective Tsukauchi and All Might glanced at each other, eyebrows knitted together at her words. For a brief moment there was only a moment of silence until her teacher asked, "Can you explain what do you mean? As far as we know there are no other forms of life in our galaxy."

She inhaled deeply. It was expected for them to be confused. The way she worded things meant they presumed both Sasuke and her were aliens, which would be cool if it was true.

Time to clear everything up.

She just hoped they didn't send her to a psychiatric hospital.

"Sasuke and I come from a different universe—I think," Naruto took a deep breath. "I don't know actually but that was what I concluded from reading a lot of books that we are in a whole different universe. Now how the two of us got here, well I don't know. All I can remember was trying to convince him to go back home."

The words to me was nearly on the tip of her tongue, just ready for her to spill. All Might's eyes softened, sensing Naruto's pan. No one could understand just how painful it was for her to nearly lose her rock. "Young Uzumaki, can you please tell us what happened that day?"

'You mean nothing to me, Naruto.'

"Shikamaru came to me and told me that Sasuke had left the village to go after a pedophile," Naruto said. She fiddled with her fingers as her brain took a trip down memory lane. "I didn't believe him at first when he told me Sasuke abandoned the village. So when he told me to come with him, I leapt at the chance to save the Bastard from making the biggest mistake of his life."

Her throat clogged up as she thought of what would happen if Sasuke had gone to Orochimaru.

'The teachers might hate you but you have me.'

'If you pass this test then I will teach you a jutsu.'

That Sasuke would have been gone if he stayed with Orochimaru. The Sasuke I knew would have disappeared as soon as Orochimaru is in his body. There would have been no telling about how long she had to save him before his soul was gone.

The revenge had been understandable, but the fact he was so willing to throw his body away to Orochimaru had terrified her.

"Why didn't you believe your friend at first?" Detective Tsukauchi questioned.

Because we never kept secrets from each other.

I was there for him when he lost his whole family and I tried so hard to make him feel the same happiness that he gave me.

It sounded pathetic even to her ears.

"Because Sasuke is my best friend and there were just no signs that he would do this," Naruto admitted. She thought of the last days before he left her. The two of them had been so happy, teasing and training like usual. No hints that he might just be tempted to do it.

She felt like the biggest fool when Shikamaru told her that Sakura tried to stop him.

"Why did your friend go after this pedophile?"

Naruto smiled widely and closed her eyes. "Orochimaru offered to give him the power he needed to fulfil his dreams. Sasuke was always so…obsess in fulfilling his dreams and I understood to a certain extent. After the hell he went through, no one can blame him."

Itachi Uchiha had been a terrible brother, a monster in Naruto's eyes. He was the root cause for all the suffering her best friend went through. The damn reason Sasuke kept denying the chance of being happy in their village.

If the bastard never showed up then maybe she would have had more time with her friends.

They would never be in this mess.

Bakugou didn't know how Spikey convinced him to visit Uzumaki.

There was no reason for him to go and visit her with the other members of the class.

But he was curious just like the others about the girl's past. It had been a mystery about the whiskered girl's past. Not once did she ever utter a word about them—maybe once she talked about a friend, but never about that boy. The boy who seemed to snap her out of the haze.

Those cold black eyes had only softened slightly when he placed Uzumaki on the ground, barely hinted his emotions but Bakugou understood clearly what the boy felt to Uzumaki. Indifference and hate were not the feelings the boy had for the girl.

He shook his head and stared at Uzumaki. The girl had a bright smile on her face, her lifeless eyes filled with so much joy that it almost made Bakugou stumble. How the fuck could she be happy? Her best friend hurt her and yet she acts like nothing is fucking wrong. He had no understanding of how Uzumaki's brain work.

"What are you guys doing here? The doctor was going to sign me out!" Blue eyes sparkled with joy and their classmates flickered their eyes at each other, uncertain on how to ask the girl.

Bakugou growled. "We want a fucking explanation of what happened there."

The smile didn't drop or even falter at his demands, it was still plastered to her face. The only change was the brightness in her eyes just faded slightly before blazing back in full determination, just ready to consume everything in its path.

"What Kacchan is trying to say is that we want to understand the connection between you and that boy," Deku stared at Uzumaki with hopeful eyes. The others nodded. Their eyes focused on Uzumaki, pleading with her to tell them the truth.

Like Uzumaki will actually tell us the truth.

"That boy is called Uchiha Sasuke and he is my best friend—I didn't lie to any of you when I said those words," Uzumaki licked her dried lips and took a deep breath. "I really didn't know about the League of Villains going to come or even that he was going to be there. The last place I expected for him to join was a League of Villains."

Bakugou scowled. "What do you mean?"

"Sasuke is a lot of things—a bastard, aloof and haughty, but he isn't evil," Naruto chuckled. "I know it isn't obvious in USJ but Sasuke isn't a bad guy. He is just going through a hard time now…"

"Nothing can ever explain his actions, Uzumaki." Todoroki pointed out. Naruto turned her head away, blue eyes focused on the window that showed the patients walking through the gardens. "You can't excuse…"

"Would you be the same if you watch your brother murder your whole family in front of you?" There was a fake cheer in her voice as everyone kept quiet in their words. Some of the students avoided her eyes while Todoroki kept quiet. "Look I know him. I have known Sasuke since we were six and that guy you saw in USJ isn't the real him."

Everyone kept quiet as they focused their eyes on Naruto's eyes. Bakugou didn't know about the others but he just kept quiet. Tell the idiot I can't do what she wants. Those words spoke volumes that the boy was not actually cruel. Lack of courage to tell Uzumaki told him about how much he didn't actually want to hurt her.

"And what is the real Sasuke?"

"The real Sasuke is a bastard that doesn't like to show his feelings in public," Naruto answered automatically. "He might seem aloof to you but Sasuke was the first one to make friends with me, when the other kids avoided me. Sasuke was the one that would spend countless nights trying to catch me up, even though I fucking hate studying."

"Naruto…"

"We would spend nights at each other's apartments," Naruto smiled widely. "And whenever I was upset then Sasuke would just drag me to the training ground and train with me. Sometimes he took me to my favourite ramen stand even though he hated it. I can't and I won't give up on him. Call me an idiot but I want to save my best friend."

'Tell the idiot I can't do what she wants.'

Bakugou snorted.

Uzumaki was going to ignore him even if he told her about her friend's wishes. The flames in her eyes told him that his classmate planned to do anything in her power to bring her friend back.

He could respect that.

"Kurogiri informed me that your partner is in this world like I presumed, training to become a heroine under All Might."

Sasuke kept his expression completely blank as he stared at the computer screen. It might have been three years since he came under this man's care, but till this day it creeped him out that the man was nearly faceless. No eyes for him to stare at nor was there any other facial features that allowed Sasuke to know he was human.

If Naruto was here, she would call him a zombie.

"Kurogiri made an interesting observation about the two of you," Sasuke stiffened his back when One For All smiled at him. That cruel smile might never compare to Orochimaru's insane smile, but it was just as effective of creeping him out. "You never mentioned that the two of you were in a relationship."

"The only relationship between us are the bonds of hate."

Those feelings will only bring me down. It made him weak and would make him hesitate about the next plan. If he wanted to bring Naruto back with him to their own world, then he needed cut out any expectations he had for her.

"Denial doesn't suit you, Hellbringer.' Sasuke didn't even blink an eye at the Villain name given to him by One ForAll. Black eyes just darkened while the man leaned forward to the computer screen, large hands clasped together. "Kurogiri observed that my perfect little soldier blushed when he asked if the two of you were in a relationship."

"If you trying to fish out if there are any lingering feelings of fondness then no," Sasuke kept his voice even and calm as Tomura eyed them from the side of the bar. He flickered his eyes to the television screen. Headlines flashed of yesterday events and all Sasuke could think of was the fact that Naruto still made him feel weak.

How was he going to get even stronger when they return back to their own world? The moment they return back then he might just toy with those foolish thoughts again.

'I do hope that you don't have any lingering feelings for her because your next mission is going to be difficult if it is,' Sasuke arched his eyebrow and tapped his feet as his boss took his time to explain about the next mission. "Since the two of you have a connection then it might be in our best option to explore it."

Sasuke felt his stomach rolled at his words.

"You want me to seduce her." Sasuke said. His voice didn't betray his emotions but all Sasuke could feel was sick. If it had been anyone but Naruto then the problem would be easy. Easy for himself to fool because he would never care about them.

Naruto was a whole different story.

She had been his best friend since he introduced himself to her on their first day of school.

'Sasuke-kun, you see that blond-haired girl over there? That's my best-friend's daughter.'

His mother had pointed to Naruto on the day of their opening ceremony. Dark eyes filled with so much sadness at the sight of the whiskered girl that was probably one of the few people, who didn't have any relatives with her.

'It would make me so happy if you become friends with her, Sasuke-kun. Naru-chan doesn't have anyone who she could rely on and she will need someone to lean on when things become hard for her. It will make me happy if you try to be there for her.'

Mikoto Uchiha was going to be rolling over her grave when she found out about what the man planned for him to do.

He failed in his promise to his mother and Naruto, but this would be a terroritory that he never faced before.

"Seduce her is such an ugly word but perhaps toy with her fondness for you," One For All mused, curling his lips at her. "But getting close to her would be advantageous to us. She might give us a better idea of what is happening in U.A High and All Might's whereabouts…after all the two of you are quite close."

What the man wanted to do was radically different from what Sasuke planned to do in the Valley Of the End. Getting close to Naruto didn't just mean getting more information. It meant he would constantly be doubting his actions. Was the bastard trying to test him? He showed him that he was loyal when he came back with his successor instead of staying with Naruto.

'I care about you.'

"Naruto might be an airhead but she won't give information out willingly," Sasuke gasped for straws or for any reason not to let the man make him do this mission. "She knows something is up if I just show up out of the blue. She won't believe I suddenly abandoned the League Of Villains."

"Then make her trust you again," One For All ordered. "My informant inside U.A High is good but the more information we get then the better. Of course I am willing to find someone else to do the job if you don't want to go back—"

"I will do it." He interjected.

It was going to be worth it, Sasuke reminded himself as he went behind the bar table to make a couple of drinks. He would do anything to go back to their world. Murdering innocent people had been painful, but it had been worth it when he knew there was a chance for him to go back home. Stealing had never been issue since it just reminded him of Naruto.

The fact he had to face his feelings to get Naruto to spill the secrets of her school that made his intestines turn.

This was probably going to be the hardest thing that he ever done in his life.

Once he killed Itachi then Sasuke would find a way to apologize to Naruto, because she was going to be so pissed and hurt when she find out about what he was going to do to her.
