A/N: Okay I know that it has been forever since I last updated but I've had some other important things to do. I don't really have a lot to say about this chapter.

Just a few things:
I'd like to raise the hits and reviews on the following stories:

Birth Rights- This story is by me. I love the idea for it and can't wait to finish this one so that I can start it. It is mainly about how Sasuke's father wants Sasuke to pick someone to be his friend. He's even willing to pay him. This is just about what goes on and yes, as pretty much all my stories it IS a SasuNaru.

It Takes my Pain Away- Oh my, what to say about this story. It is near and dear to my heart. It means a lot to me since I know what its like to go through stuff like that. There is some self mutilation in it but nothing really that serious. It's, again, a SasuNaru so its not like it's all bad. I have two chapters for it already and I'm not sure whether I want more or not so keep checking back.

I also have another story that is really good but its not really getting as much as I'd like it to so: Pickers Can't be Choosers. Very good story check it out.

I will soon have updates to all my stories here, or on a new story. (which ever is most popular)

On July 23, in honour of Sasuke Uchiha's birthday I will be posting a oneshot. Read it. It will be good.

That being said I'll stop with the stories and let you read the chapter that you've probably been waiting for.


Something Wrong in Paradise

----

Sasuke sat by Naruto's side day after day. He slept, watched Naruto heal and kept asking Tsunade when it was all right for him to move.

'Sasuke I will tell you when it is all right for Naruto to get out of bed, okay?' she told him after he asked her for the seventh time. Sasuke just nodded his head in reply to her frustrated out burst.

----

'Sasuke…' Naruto said as the raven-haired boy walked into the room.

'No Naruto, not yet.'

The blonde boy pouted. He'd been lying in this bed for what seemed like forever. He just wanted to go home. Home with Sasuke so they could pick up where they had left off. His back was starting to ache too. Tsunade had strapped his wrists back down to the bed to that he could sit up but not be able to get off the bed.

One day when he had gotten bored he had tried to pull his hands off the bed. The only thing that had gotten him was sore wrists so he told himself never to try again. It was hopeless unless Tsunade opened them herself. Or maybe one of the nurses but they didn't come in here often to take his restraints off. Sasuke usually fed him and he was grateful it wasn't one of those nurses who hated him.

----

'Dobe. Earth to the Dobe. Calling all Dobes,' Sasuke said holding back a laugh.

'Shut up Sasuke-teme.' Was all that Naruto said. Sasuke didn't call him a dobe that much anymore. What was with the sudden name-calling?

'Naruto…' Sasuke said.

He couldn't take it anymore. He hadn't kissing Sasuke or held him passionately for what seemed like forever. He just wanted the closeness and he would've gone for it if it weren't for the restraints on his wrists. And Sasuke seemed a little more distant then usual.

'Sasuke…'

'Naruto, I love you,' Sasuke said taking Naruto's hand in his own and laying down with his head resting on his arms.

'Sasuke… is something wrong?'

'No Naruto, I'm just tired,' the boy replied without looking up.

Naruto couldn't understand it. This boy couldn't be his Sasuke. He was too distant. It reminded him of the old Sasuke he used to know.

----

Naruto watched Sasuke as he slept. He looked like an angel. Maybe Sasuke didn't love him and was just humoring him. Was he going to leave him when he got out of the hospital? Suddenly Itachi's words came back to him.

'You're not good enough for Sasuke. Our parents wouldn't approve of your relationship. You two shouldn't be together it's not right. He doesn't love you. He doesn't love anyone anymore. I killed his capability to love. I gave him hate. I gave him strength. You're just holding him back. Leave him. Stay away from him.'

Naruto shuddered from the thought. It had seemed unimportant at the time but now it sounded about right. Maybe the drugs were starting to take effect in his brain. Tsunade had felt the need to feed him with as much medicine as his body could take. It was stupid he didn't even know why he was in the hospital to begin with. He felt better from whatever had caused him pain before. It was nothing huge now.

----

'Baa-chan I want to go now,' he said as the fifth Hokage entered the room.

'Naruto, have you no patience?' she asked him jokingly. But seriously the kid didn't have an ounce of patience.

'No.'

'Well can I explain the reason for me coming in here?'

'Yeah.'

'I was just coming to check up on you because I think that your body is healed and your mind sealed from the Kyuubi. You should be just like normal now,' she said smiling. 'I just have to give you one final look over before you can leave. It will only take a moment.'

'I can go home then?'

'Yes Naruto… Sasuke…' she said shaking him awake. 'You're going to have to wait outside for a moment.'

He nodded and got up taking one last glance at Naruto. He was staring at Tsunade lying perfectly still. He's such a Dobe, Sasuke thought chuckling.

----

'Come on Sasuke,' Naruto said running down the road.

'Dobe the raman isn't going to run away,' Sasuke yelled to the shrinking figure.

'Shut up Sasuke teme,' Naruto yelled over his shoulder. He ran into the raman shop and sat down. He was smiling. It was just like old times. Except Sasuke hadn't called him names before the whole Itachi thing. He'd stopped. It wasn't a Sasuke-ish thing to do.

'Something wrong Naruto?' Sasuke asked as he watched Naruto staring into his raman but not eating it.

'Oh no. I'm okay. Just my mind wondering off.'

Sasuke's eyes lingered for a moment longer before he started on his raman.

The meal was eaten in silence.

They didn't speak to each other. They had the chance but they didn't. Naruto even took his time eating. Sasuke only ate half of his raman, Naruto only eating one whole bowl compared to his usual eight bowls.

----

Naruto got up from his seat. The silence was deafening. He couldn't stand it and he didn't want to disturb Sasuke. He was scared of him, he was different and he didn't know how. He was determined to keep him an arms length away from him until he found out just what was going on.

----

Naruto went home very alone that night. It was true that he had walked home with Sasuke but nothing had happened. A small kiss at the end but it had been so silent. Sasuke apparently still loved him. But what was with the old Sasuke personality? Especially with Naruto. He'd been more open before but now he was totally different. Had something happened to him? Or was this just something that Sasuke had to figure out?

Whatever it was it kept Naruto up.

----

It was early the next morning when Naruto finally drifted off to sleep.

Sasuke came barging in early, seven a.m. to be exact. He walked over to the bed that Naruto was sleeping in. That boy could sleep through a thunderstorm. Sasuke shook him violently awake and pulled the covers off him. The dark haired boy was glad to see that Naruto only had boxers on.

Naruto blushed under the scrutinizing eyes of his "lover". He didn't know if that's what he could call him as of that moment but it wasn't as if he was going to abandon him.

'Something wrong?' Naruto asked a distressed looking Sasuke.

'Yeah…' Sasuke said pulling up Naruto's face to his own. 'I've been out of the hospital for a whole day and I haven't 'celebrated' it with you yet.'

'Is that supposed to have a deeper meaning?' Naruto asked him getting a little excited. It seemed like the old Sasuke was back to normal. He didn't think much more as Sasuke's lips found his own.

The kiss deepened and if you asked them neither one of them would've known who started it. But it was certainly Sasuke who finished it.

'I want you Naruto.'

This made the blonde boy freeze. He hadn't wanted it to go that far but he couldn't let Sasuke see that something was bothering him. If it had been the old Sasuke then he would've said something by now. Maybe he was just overwhelmed by emotions. Something didn't add up in Naruto's mind but he would have to think about that later. It was hard to think when there was a horny Sasuke on top of you. Not just that but he was gorgeous; his feminine, yet beautifully pale face and his carefully sculpted body. It was enough to make even the straightest man swoon. But Naruto was no straight man. At least when it came to Sasuke. He didn't normally go around picking up guys. This was just a one-time thing. He would not allow this from any other male on the planet. Unless they were very much like Sasuke; but that was highly unlikely.

'I love you,' Sasuke said as he ran his hands all over Naruto's torso. He let his head rest in the little nook in Naruto's neck. He placed kisses all over the skin he could reach without moving a lot.

'I know you do,' Naruto said. He didn't know if he could say he loved Sasuke at that moment. He knew in essence he loved every single thing there was to Sasuke; but this wasn't Sasuke. He knew it now. He acted much different from the Sasuke he knew and loved. He was also missing a scar on his stomach from where Itachi had sliced him open.

'Don't you love me too?' Sasuke asked placing kisses down Naruto stomach now. He was also using his cold hands to send shivers down Naruto's spine. He smiled at this. He liked seeing Naruto shiver.

'Mmhmm,' Naruto said quietly. He almost didn't want this person to hear.

There was a huge and sudden explosion from Naruto's front door. The two both looked up and saw a figure approaching them; a shadow from all the smoke. It looked oddly like…

'Sasuke?' Naruto asked the figure walking towards them.

'Get your filthy hands off him,' the figure walking towards them said. The smoke was starting to clear and Naruto gasped… Sasuke…

'I don't know who you are but what do you think you're doing barging in here and ordering us around,' the Sasuke on top of Naruto said.

'I don't believe I ordered Naruto to do anything. And as for you, I don't know who you are but you should seriously consider getting your dirty hands off what is rightfully mine,' Sasuke said his gaze unmoving and murderous.

Naruto pushed off the Sasuke and stood up. There were two Sasukes so one had to be the real thing right?

'Take off your shirt,' Naruto said to the "intruder".

He nodded and took it off in one movement. Naruto walked over and kneeled looking at the scars. There was the one that was missing along with the new ones that hadn't totally finished healing from their last encounter.

'Seems like you're the real one. But one last thing I'm going to ask a question that only the real Sasuke would know. The first one to answer is the real one.'

Both boys nodded and waited for the question.


A/N: Okay so cliffhangar there. I'm sorry but I kind of had to cut it there. I know my chapters aren't really that long but.. oh well..

Please review. I'd like to get at least 100 reviews by the end of the story. And the end is in sight so if you're reading please review.

In honour of chapter 11, 11 reviews will be needed for chapter 12. So review because last chapter only got 7 or 8 reviews. If you like the story just leave me a line or two. No big deal.
