Sorry for the long wait...Been slightly held up by problems, the psychological kinds. Apologies as erm...updates might be slower from now.

Ok, again, I would like to stress that this is not some kind of anti-Catholic fic. Because I am part of that religion as well , so yeah.

Chapter 11

''Sasuke, tell me everything.''

Sasuke wiped his eyes with a stained hankerchief and inhaled deeply.

''..W..when I was..young , Mo-mother abused me..Calling me an evil demon...'' Naruto raised his eyebrow.

''Is that all , Sasuke? Because I have a feeling that you are not telling me everything about your mother.'' Sasuke flinched at the authorative tone Naruto used. If he told Naruto the truth about his whole family, how would he react?

''No one cares about me. I am unloved, Naruto.'' Sasuke whispered. Naruto sighed and wrapped his arms around Sasuke. Sasuke did not lean against him. He just basked in the warmth he felt from his arms alone.

'Unloved. That's what I am. Unloved.'

''God...I have chased the demon away. Please forgive me for having the devil's spawn...please forgive your sinful disciple.'' Mikoto kneeled down on the floor , naked and drenched in holy water. She looked up and smiled when she saw the picture of God appearing before her. To her, it was a sign that she was forgiven. To others, it was nothing more than a mentally ill woman experiencing hallucinations about God.

''And yet you don't realise that you are the demon.'' A voice sneered at her. Her eyes widened and she looked around the room with a wild expression on her face. She stood up slowly, driven by sudden fear. A figure approached her from the shadows and Mikoto backed up slowly, not realising that she was nearing her death each passing second. As she hit the chest of someone, she turned around and a smile crept up slowly onto her lips. Those eyes she saw. So sad, so near insane.

''So...it is you...'' Finishing her sentence, she was silenced for eternity by a sharp stab to her eyes.

In her insanity, she could still tell between death and life.

''I can enter heaven now...Heaven...''

''Heaven? You abused my Sasuke, thinking you can get away with it? Fat hope..''

''Sasuke, face up to your past. If you dwell on it, you can never move on happily.'' Naruto tried to persuade him but he was as stubborn as a mule. Sasuke lifted the covers up to his head. Naruto frowned. The boy was trying to avoid the subject by hiding under the blankets. That was not very ideal. Naruto tried to pull the covers off him but Sasuke held them in a vice-like grip. Naruto threw his arms up in exasperation.

''Fine, you win. I am not going to care anymore.'' He stormed out of the room and slammed the door with an incredible amount of force. Beneath the covers, Sasuke could feel tears surfacing to his eyes again and he bit his lip. He had to apologise. Sasuke got off the bed and opened the door slightly. Through the tiny crack, he could see Naruto sitting on the couch, bending over and covering his face with his hands. Sasuke felt his heart clenching in pain. He opened the door fully and stepped out into the light. He walked towards the blonde with slow and unsure steps.

He shook his shoulder lightly and Naruto stared at him coldly.

''Sor-sorry...Naru-naruto.'' Sasuke said, his voice cracking as if he was going to cry again. Naruto sighed and shook his head lightly. This boy was suffering from major emotional distress. Naruto held his hand gently but Sasuke pulled them away.

''N-no...my skin is...''

''I don't care,'' Naruto said, surprising Sasuke, ''Beauty is only skin deep. You are beautiful. Get that inside.''

Sasuke's face turned beet red.

''Look, you have to know that you can trust me. I am not like them, ok? If you cannot trust me, I can understand. I will give you time, ok?'' Naruto said gently. Sasuke hung his head in shame. Naruto was only trying to help him and yet, he pushed him away.

Naruto gripped his chin gently and pushed it up, making him look into his blue eyes.

''I-I need to get my stuff...'' Sasuke said.

''That would mean...'' Sasuke nodded. They would have to go back to the house. Naruto sighed. Guess they had no choice. His clothes would not fit him anyway.

''I will come with you. Don't fear.''

''This is it.'' Naruto said. Sasuke gripped the key to the door and gritted his teeth, conspicuously hesitating.

''Just do it. If you drag it any longer, you can never do what you have come here for.'' Under Naruto's words of encouragement, he mustered all his courage and opened the door. When he did, they were horrified by the disturbing sight of a corpse hanging from the ceiling. A ghastly whiteness spread over Naruto's face. His trembling hands went to cover Sasuke's eyes who had already been traumatised.

''We..we should inform the police.'' Naruto choked out.
