Chapter 10

My six lines

1 month later:

"Naruto! Where did Sasuke go?" a pink haired girl shouted at me.

"How am I supposed to know, Sakura?" I questioned the pink haired fan girl.

"Well you guys have become best of friends so I figured- "she said, looking at the floor and rolling the tip of her shoe against the ground.

"No I haven't seen him, but I'll tell him that you were looking for him" I said with a smile plastered on my face.

"No! Don't do that, I'll deal with it" she said giving me a cheesy smile. After only seconds she disappeared behind a corner. "Sasuke!" the pinkette called from behind the very same corner she ran behind. I shrugged my shoulders at the attempt.

My hand went behind my neck, scratching it as I went to the normal meeting place that Sasuke and I meet at after school. He has been disappearing after school. I tried following him once, but he noticed right away and told me to wait at the normal place for him to get finished with some business. I sighed leaning against the wall next to a brownish colored bending machine.

"And ever since that night I have been getting sick when I get near him" I whispered closing my eyes. 'That felt like consoling in my own brain' my thoughts said before continuing. 'Or I'm going crazy and I'm allergic to the teme. That would make sense ... but what about the other times we hung out before then'. Another sigh crossed my lips. "That settles it I'm going crazy" I clarified nodding my head like I was listening to a good song.

"You're being more of a dobe than normal" a slick tone ran against my ears. Just like that I felt as if I were melting like chocolate, and a pain going through my stomach made it feel so more real than what it seemed.

"No I'm not" I said loudly. "You're just in your world of temeness..." my voice cut of as I looked away from the other.

He shrugged as he looked to the side as well. "Where do you go after school? I mean you're always late" I whispered twiddling my thumbs together.

"It doesn't matter" he stated scratching the back of his head. "We have some work to get done." He offered another topic to discuss.

"No" I said crossing my hands over my chest. The teme looked at me as if saying;"Bitch just do it". In return I just said no again. This time he put on a death glare as if saying, "If you say no again I will rip you face off and shove it in a blinder, while laughing like a madman". Once again I said no to the stare.

His nose twitched. He tapped his foot impatiently as if waiting for something to happen, then I could practically see a light bulb flashing above his head.

"I will handcuff you to a pole if we don't hurry up and get this done" he threatened. 'This guy always threatened me with this, but I'm starting to not believe the threat' I thought.

"I don't believe you" I said confidently. A small smirk formed on his face, but rolled his eyes as well.

"Naruto, would you like to come to my house for this session?" he asked going back to his usual expression. My stomach instantly felt like a wasps nest and there was a small beating sound that filled my ears.

"I see nothing wrong with that, but I won't be answering any questions" I said with a smile on my face.

"We will see about that" he muttered under his breath.

SN

The black car, we were riding in, slid into a vacant drive way. "Watch it, or I'll be too scared of your driving skills to get in your car ever again!" I shouted at the raven, who just shrugged it off. I huffed getting out of the parked car.

Then my eyes widened at the size of the house standing before me. "Yo, teme, are you sure this is your house?" I asked scanning the building in awe.

He didn't respond, but I know that would happen. He never really answers some of my stupid questions. "Are you just gana stand there?" Sasuke asked leading the way to the front door. With that I started walking after him, but I was still in an awe state.

The door was huge and white, which didn't really suit the raven much. Then again this is probably his parents house, so I guess that would make since. My thoughts were interrupted as I stepped inside the door, which was held open by the raven.

The smell of cookies filled the air, and a warm feeling was lingering there as well. 'What was with this place' I thought looking around. There were expensive things everywhere. The walls were painted a milky chocolate color and the floors where covered in a fancy white carpet.

"I'm home!" Sasuke shouted dropping his backpack at the end of the couch that was placed in the living room.

Then a sweet voice reached into the living room from the kitchen, I supposed. "Okay, how was your day?" she asked with a cheery voice. 'She must be his mom and the women I work with' I thought getting a soft pain in my stomach.

"It was fine," he answered his mom. "I have a guested, would you like to meet him?" he asked making his way into a random direction. My guess was the kitchen, but I didn't follow I was too busy looking around the house.

"You have a friend!" she asked loudly. "You have finally taken are advice to be more social with others" the women exclaimed happily. "And yes I would love to meet this mystery man that my boy has taken a liking to" she said happily.

"He's in the living room" Sasuke said with a bored tone. I heard footsteps coming this way, so I turned my head to greet the happy woman and bored looking Sasuke.

"NARUTO!" She shouted surprise written all over her. I gave her a grin.

"Hello Mrs. Uchiha, how have you been?" I asked still grinning at both of the confused people standing before me.

"You know my mom?" Sasuke asked at the same time as his mother's question. "You are friends with my Sasuke?"

I took a deep breath before saying;"yes to both, I work with Mrs. Uchiha at my work, and Sasuke and I have become somewhat friends I guess you could say. He consuls me for, I have no idea why, and during the proses of this we have become friends," I summarized, with a pant.

Silence filled the room for a few seconds. "Hey mom can I use dad's handcuffs?" Sasuke asked. That question made my eyes open wide.

"He wasn't joking?!" I shouted. I was pointing at a very cocky bastard with a smirk on his face. The mother stood there just looking at us, with a confused look plastered on her face.

"You're the one that didn't believe me, dobe" he said bluntly. I groaned at the statement.

"How was I supposed to know that you were going to do it" I shouted and wiggled to escape the situation.

"You must know, an Uchiha never lies, but that never really works in my favor" Mikoto groaned. "Sasuke you can as long as you don't make Naruto soar" she said with a smile on her face.

Sasuke pulled a hand up to his face, to cover his growing red checks. "What's wrong teme, Uchiha lady?" my question was unanswered, but the younger raven stiffened.

"Baka,"

"I know what that means too, stop calling me names jerk!" I shouted crossing my hands over my chest. 'What is going on anyways' I thought. 'Why does the teme keep calling me names and why would I be soar from handcuffs?' I snorted at the two not seeing there humor.

"I'll get the cuffs; um ... can you show him up to my room?" Sasuke asked. His face was still that red color that stole his paleness from his face.

"Sure thing sweetie" she chirped. She seemed so happy, but why does it hurt so bad when I see their happiness, and their joking around even when I don't understand what they mean. My thoughts where cut short as the middle aged women spoke.

"Naruto, why have you been spending less time at work?" the question was shocking to me at first. 'To be honest, I have no idea' my mind screamed. "You look smaller too "she said. 'Her voice, it sounds worried'. "I mean I shouldn't pr-"the women said, but I cut her short.

"Don't worry about it" I said with a grin that spread across my face.

"Okay, but make sure to take care of yourself, Naruto" she said with concern still lased with her words. She seems like a really good mother. I smiled as a thought slide through me skull, and I shock it right when it got into it. 'She would never consider that, and besides I can take care of myself... Have been for a long time, and I don't plan on owing anyone now'. My body felt heavy after that thought, but it couldn't be helped. She is not my mother and never will be, even if she seems motherly she is just concerned for her son's friend that's all.

"Yay I well" I said with a smile.

She nodded," come on I'll take you to Sasuke's room" she said. She smiled at me before stepping up the stairs. "Come on" she said softly, moving her fingers in a "come" motion. I moved my feet up the stairs as well.

When we came to Sasuke's door of many on the second floor, she opened it. "I hope you are not soar in the morning" she giggled with a smile. 'What does that mean' I asked myself. I looked at the women with a puzzled look.

"What are you talking about, Uchiha lady?" I asked.

"Oh, nothing at all" she smiled again. 'A person has never smiled so much around me ... maybe it's a mother's thing' I thought, I shrugged both the topics and smiled back at the raven haired mom.

"Thanks" I said peacefully going into the room.

The door softly moved closed, as I looked around for a light switch. It was right beside the Entrance, which was a lucking thing. I flipped it up, and the room flashed with light.

The room was spotless and neat as hell. The walls were a medium gray color, and the floor was a creamy white like downstairs. There are three doors, the one I walked in from, the one to the left, and one to the right. The furniture wasn't really that impressive. There was a queen sized bed beside the left door, and there was a bed side table an alarm clock and a lamp, behind that was a small window with black curtains. About three feet from the bed table was a desk with a computer and a little stack of paper. He had a spiny chair with wheels in front of it. Lastly, a boring dresser with a flat screen TV on it. It stood in front of the main entrance and beside the right door.

"This room is to boring" I whispered. I walked to the large bed. The covers were black and silky.

I bite my lip, the temptation, was really great... 'I wish to spin in it once' I thought glaring at the gray computer chair. 'Just once' I thought swallowing the spit that collected in my mouth.

I stepped toward the object of my desires. I licked my lips. 'Mom never let me spin or roll around in one of those chairs'. I smiled as I was just inches away from the chair. I spun it around so I could actually sit in it, and then ... the door opened.

"What are you doing?" the voice was amused. I jumped, and quickly turned to face the intruder, but it wasn't really an intruder because it was Sasuke coming into his own room. I looked like a little kid that had just been caught stilling from a supposedly hidden cookie jar. "... Checking out your room ... it looks boring" I said looking at the longing spiny chair that wished for me to put my butt on it, and spin tell I throw up the non existing food in my stomach.

The raven couldn't help, but quirk his lips up in a small almost none existing smile. "You're such a dobe." He chuckled moving his head side to side.

"What did I say about calling me names, damn it?" I said know full well that he would probably never stop calling me names.

"I don't remember. I walked through a doorway" he said like that would make a difference. My eyebrows went up as if asking what-the-hell-did-you-mean-be-that. "You're too much of an idiot to get the complexity of a human brain, dobe" was his irritating response.

"What the hell, I'm not stupid, bastard" I shouted.

"You came willingly into my room knowing you will get cuffed to a pole," he stated, as one of his thin black eyebows went upward. I opened my mouth finding no word of the sort flying out for an insult.

"I got nothen," I admitted. Just then he pulled two silver handcuffs out of nowhere. I made a loud 'eep' sound before trying to escape. The raven was blocking the way I came in from so I decided to take my chances with the left door. I ran to it, and then opened it. I was met by lots of clothes and random doodads.

I turned around not even realizing the raven was right there behind me. My lips curled downwards as I heard the clinging of metal to metal, but inside my stomach clinched itself. 'Am I scared? No I'm not, then what?' I thought without really realizing it.

"Scared, dobe?" he asked with a smirk on his face.

"No" I said simply

I looked in those black eyes, they were unreadable to me. I could read everyone else, but not the emotions swirling in these onyx eyes. Why I had asked myself, but I never could get an answer. I still couldn't even if I wanted.

"Then why do you look like a scaredy cat, dobe?" he asked looking down at me.

"I'm not scared you prick!" I shouted.

"Hn" he said, as he looked over at his bed. "So if not, why are you not in my bed, yet?" the Uchiha asked. With that, I got nervous, my abdomen exploded with wasps, and I could feel warmth behind my checks.

"Sasuke what makes you think I want to get in your bed?" I questioned the raven. "So I can handcuff you" he answered as the metal was lifted to be leveled with his head. "What did you thank I-"the raven started, but then noticed the color that replaced my tanned checks. He smirked at me as if he knew what was going through my mind.

"Why are you smirking ass-hole?" I grumbled looking at the teen with a pout.

"Oh nothing" he said.

Coldness wrapped itself around my wrist, and the sounds of clicking filled the air. My shock filled eyes connected to dark amused ones. "Sasuke" I whispered, and then the coldness was on my other wrist. Before I know what exactly happened, I was thrown on a mass of black covers, handcuffed and stunned be even how it happened.

"Bastard! Let me go" I shouted hopelessly struggling at the metals will.

"What's the point when you're already captured?" the question was simple, but the answer was far from my reach.

"Because," I whispered moving my legs to my clothed chest. I could feel heat rising to my checks as the wasps in my stomach tried to play a game of sorts.

There was a weight change on the bed as the raven sat down on the bed. "Naruto if you don't want to be chained to a pole you better spill some of your past" the raven said pulling a composition notebook out of nowhere.

'It's true I haven't said much about my past, but I should be able to say things in my own time ...' I thought, but said. "you already know most of my past that my parents left me, my guardian left me, and that I was bulled all the way up to a few months ago, what else do you want to know?" I growled looking away from the raven. "I mean if you want details I've long since forgotten mostly all that has happened." I shrugged at the raven as if there was nothing to it.

"Hum, I could make you skip out on dinner" the raven threatened.

The mire word of dinner made my face lighten up. "Like I need the food" I stubbornly said. The raven huffed crossing his arms.

"Since it's Friday I can chain you up for several days" the raven smirked. "You would have food, but the boredom would be horrifyingly boring." I frowned at that. Boring was never good. Thank, Naruto thank what have I not told the raven, my mind thought as I tried to dig into the locked doors of my mind

~Flash back~

"Foxy. Foxy. Foxy "a group of teens circled around me as they chanted that nickname in my face.

"Stop it" I shouted not being heard or not wanted to be heard be anyone else, but my younger self. "You shut up you little pussy" an eighth grader said with dark reddish brown locks. "Please you don't have to do this "I whispered as the circle of people moved closer towards me.

"We can't hear you foxy, speak up" a black-haired man said. There were over all five people that surrounded me. "Leave me alone "my voice cracked roughly. "Don't fucking crack your voice in front of us and speak right "a man bitch slapped me across my face. I held my hand against my flushed cheek. "What are you some type of girl bitch slapping him like that" another man behind me said accusingly.

"What did I ever do to you" I asked skimming their faces for an answer. "None of your fucking business you piece of shit "the leader said getting into my face." Just accept it foxy it will be painful and amusing, but it's kind of a pity that no one will come for you" his golden brown eyes glittered with rage and amusement.

The leader punched me, blocking my view of his hypnotizing eyes. I fell to the ground unwillingly. The people of the group started to punch and kick my body in tell they were satisfied with their bruises and scrapes that they had left behind. They finally pinned my arms and legs down with their bodies. My vision was a blur of colors and a weird substance was getting into my eyes making it worse.

Of what I could see, the reddish brown haired leader got on top of me as another stayed behind to stay a look out. He pulled out a red and blue pocket knife, and pulled out the shining silver blade. "Now, you can thank about us whenever you look at yourself, even when we aren't even there" he put it against my right check slicing it as he moved the blade. I screamed at the pain. But still he cut deeper into my skin. He did that three times on each side of my face, and each time my throat got raw from shouting in pain.

"And a little gift for staying with as" his voice was blurry, but the pain of being hit in the stomach was still present. Everything was blurred like my head and senses were filled with cotton.

After they know I was not in a state of moving, they left my bruised and bleeding body where it could be used to whoever wanted to mess with me or help me, and after that my vision went black, leaving my body without a care in the world.

~End of flash back~

My body shivered at the locked memory, there was a note in my locker asking me to meet someone, behind the school. I was foolish enough to buy the simple trick, and I have the scares to prove that.

I tried to move my hands up to my chest, but that didn't really work. I widened my eyes at the metal around my wrist I totally forgot they wore there, and that I was being threatened to a few days of boredom. I sighed looking at the confusion in those black eyes. I didn't even notice the ends of my mouth curved upwards.

"How about letting my free?" I asked moving my hands uncomfortably in the grip of the metal. The action caused the metal to cling against each other.

"Not without something new" the raven answered

"What if I don't want to say it" I asked with a sheepish smile.

"I don't care, say it anyways, dobe" was the simple answer.

I sighed, closing my eyes. "It makes me happy that I didn't give up when I was already down" I said softly looking up at the white ceiling.

"And what are you talking about?"

"When I was in 8th grade I got a note in my locker, I didn't know who it was from it just said meet me in the back of the school, if you want a friend. I got excited and happy about it, but I was a fool to take the bait. After waiting for about thirty minutes, five teens confronted me ... they beat the shit out of me, and gave me these marks on my face" I said taking a deep breath.

"The marks on my face did what they were meant to, they haunted me with their faces and the pain they caused every time I looked in a mirror. The paranoia started to ever power me with every breath I took. Of course parents would question the marks, but at the time there was no one to ask about them, hell there still isn't. But I never gave up and now I know why I hadn't." I smiled, and sprawled out on the bed.

"Why's that?" the raven asked with real confusion and concern.

"I never had what I longed for, but now I have it." I couldn't stop the grin that plastered itself on my face. The raven looked confused, but continued to listen. I took a deep breath, and then continued "Even if it was only by a whim. I have someone to call my friend, and I've never felt the way I do now. The reason that I'm happy I didn't give up is because I have you now."

have a nice day! and review if you liked it, hated it, or what ever :)
