Insomniac: Ties

Sasuke scowled. He had accumulated an ever growing head-ache since the two boys, who had called themselves 'the Konohamaru corps minus 1' had arrived at the school. The one called Konohamaru was clinging to Naruto as if the blonde was his life, Sasuke had found out that the boy was Asuma's nephew and had taken both seven year old boys to the brunette teacher.

"Noooo! Boss! I don't want to go!" Konohamaru yelled, reattaching himself to Naruto's leg the brunette attempted a glare at his grandfather, who had arrived moments ago to pick both boys up and take them home, "I want to stay with Naruto, old geezer"

"Konohamaru" Sarutobi sighed

"Well maybe he could stay a little longer" Asuma suggested, the brunette teacher smiled chuckled slightly, before getting out a cigarette. Sasuke slyly walked past Asuma, taking the unlit cigarette out of the brunette's hand and lighting it, "don't you have any of your own"

"Hn. Ran out" Sasuke took in a lug of smoke, looking back at the blonde and the brunette "Naruto has to catch up with his classes. The brat has to go"

"What!" Naruto and Konohamaru yelled in unison, Sasuke sighed in exasperation.

"I don't want to work" Naruto pouted, "its boring"

"And you're annoying"

"Bastard don't call me annoying!"

"I just did" Sasuke growled, then sighed, "I don't have time for this" the raven haired teen dropped his cigarette, stepping on it as he turned and walked away. Before Naruto could even register what Sasuke had said the Uchiha heir was out of his sight.

"Hey boss" Konohamaru tugged on Naruto's shirt hem, "what's with your boyfriend? He seems ticked"

"He's not my boyfriend!" Naruto yelled, the blonde pinched both of the young brunette's cheeks. Konohamaru began pleading and apologising in incoherent sentences.


Sasuke stalked into the now empty English room, Kakashi taught in. the raven haired teenager seated himself on top of the grey haired male's desk. Sasuke rested his right foot on the edge of the desk, laying his elbow on his risen knee the Uchiha tore off the necklace from around his neck and began fiddling with the small green jewel. He hadn't meant to sound so irritated, especially to Naruto. But the blonde just didn't get it; Sasuke had wanted to spend some time with him, though he would never openly emit this which was half the problem. With Sasuke lack of social skills and Naruto's lack of brains, it was going to be challenging for them both, they were just too different, so it was always going to be difficult to have…whatever they had.

Sasuke's shield was one thing the Uchiha prided himself with. He had had a shield to keep people out since he was seven. His shield of restraint, of impassiveness, his shield that kept everyone away and out of harms way, was slowly crumbling because of Naruto. He was now putting Naruto in danger, like he had done Kakashi and Kiba and everyone else he'd met. He was putting them all in danger because he was weak and incapable of breaking the bonds he'd accumulated throughout his lifetime.

"Sasuke?"

"What do you want Kakashi?"

"I was just passing by" Kakashi stated airily, Sasuke glared "protecting Naruto is one thing, shutting him out is another"

"I haven't got time to play your mind games Hatake" Sasuke's hand balled into a tight fist as he hardened his glare.

"I'm not playing mind games" Kakashi sighed, ignoring the death glare his foster brother was sending him. The grey haired teacher seated himself next to Sasuke. "I know you protect us all, at a very high cost but that doesn't mean to say you hold all the cards. Naruto has a right to know what he's getting himself into…if he's going to keep on loving you" and with that left in the air Kakashi stood, and faced Sasuke. The grey haired teacher smiled, placing a firm hand on top of Sasuke's head, Kakashi leant forward and gently kissed the Uchiha's forehead, a gesture he hadn't done since Sasuke was little. Then he left.


Naruto had, very reluctantly said his goodbye's to Konohamaru, Udon and the old man. He was happy to be able to see them again, although there was a ten year age gap between him and Konohamaru he's always had fun with the seven year old. Konohamaru had obtained Naruto's boisterous personality and bad habits throughout the time they had spent together from various babysitting duties, but he too hadn't known his parents. They had abandoned him with Sarutobi, his grandfather when he was a few months old, when Naruto had found this out he had taken on the duty of being Konohamaru's older brother.

Smiling Naruto ran up the dorm room stairs, taking two at a time. He wanted to see Sasuke, figuring the older male had gone to their room to cool down after he had stalked off. Naruto's smile turned into a smirk, as thoughts of their earlier activities crossed his mind, he was hoping for a repeat and another and another.

Naruto quickly opened the door to their room, a pale hand grasped onto his wrist yanking him down onto something hard. Naruto opened his eyes; he had closed through shock of being pulled down. The blonde's cheeks began to tint a light shade of pink before he could even try and fight it. Sasuke had pulled him down onto his lap, Naruto's legs were either side of Sasuke's waist and his face was flush up against the Uchiha's bare chest. The raven's arms were wrapped protectively around, the smaller blonde's waist.

"I missed you" Sasuke whispered hoarsely into Naruto's ear.

Naruto double blinked, his blush growing darker. Naruto scoffed, laying his head gently onto Sasuke's chest just above his heart, closing his eyes Naruto allowed his head to rise and fall with Sasuke's breath's and returned the Uchiha's embrace.

"I love you" the blonde whispered, Sasuke smirked, "I didn't get to tell you earlier- Wha!"

Naruto stared wide eyed up into smug coal black eyes, Sasuke smirk widened as realisation dawned on Naruto's features.

"Bastard! Get off!" Naruto half pouted, half glared.

Sasuke ignored Naruto's protests, leaning down he placed a chaste kiss on the blonde's lips, parting for a second before the Uchiha heir slammed his lips back onto the blonde's. The raven parted his lips, allowing his slick tongue to run along Naruto's entrance. Hesitantly Naruto parted his pink lips allowing Sasuke's tongue to enter into his hot wet cavern; the raven haired teen let his tongue glide over the small blonde's teeth and gums before meeting Naruto's. Sasuke smirked into the blonde's lips; Naruto wasn't even trying to fight for dominance. Parting both boys gulped down the air before crushing theirs lips once more, Naruto's hands glided up from the Uchiha's broad shoulders into dark locks, grabbing handfuls of the raven's hair, the blonde roughly pulled Sasuke's head down, wanting more contact with the other.

Sasuke removed his lips from the blonde underneath him, feeling his want for the boy grow the raven knew if he didn't stop now he wouldn't be able to stop at all. Azure eyes looked up into coal black ones, Naruto's eyes were half glazed but he could still make out a small smile on the Uchiha's lips. Naruto returned the smile with one of his own and a dark red blush that had been the best moment in his 17 year life!

Sasuke scoffed and got off of Naruto, helping the smaller boy to his feet Naruto for the first time since he got back to their room noticed something was off in the room…

"What the fuck did you do!" the blonde yelled in ear splitting volume, Sasuke winced as Naruto continued to ramble on about his precious walrus night cap and bed. Rubbing his ear with the palm of his hand Sasuke walked up to Naruto silently, Naruto jumped when he felt Sasuke's chin on his shoulder and warm hands wrap around his waist underneath his shirt.

"Hn." Sasuke smirked and kissed Naruto's neck before releasing the blonde and walking towards his – destroyed – closet. The raven haired teen pick up some of his scattered clothes, releasing himself from his half dry uniform Sasuke dressed himself in all black attire before kneeling and fishing out his suitcase from underneath his – again destroyed – bed.

Naruto watched Sasuke dumbfounded, was Sasuke going somewhere?

"Sasuke?" Naruto's eyes widened as Sasuke opened up his suitcase, "are they…there guns"

The Uchiha stood, holding two black guns in his hands, the raven glanced at Naruto before sighing, "catch" Sasuke threw one of the guns, and to his relief the blonde caught it flawlessly.

"You'll need that…" Sasuke looked at Naruto's both confused and disgusted features, "it's for your own good"

"I don't want a gun!"

"I never said fire it! Even Kiba has one people have a habit of dieing around me. You'll be wise to take that and hide it" Naruto glared, he hated guns more then he hated the orphanages he grew up in.

"No" the blonde stated defiantly.

Naruto and Sasuke glared at each other, neither backing down. The blonde was the first to break the eye contact, Sasuke's eyes had flashed with an unreadable emotion to a novice who has never seen such an emotion in people's eyes…never seen that emotion in Sasuke's.

Sasuke slowly walked over to Naruto who continued to look to the side, grabbing the jewel around his neck Sasuke roughly yanked on the chain freeing it from around his neck. Leaning down the raven haired teen replaced the necklace around Naruto's tanned neck, kissing his forehead the Uchiha leant backwards, watching as Naruto slowly locked eyes with him once more.

"Itachi gave that to me when I was born" Sasuke cautiously leant forward again. Naruto could feel Sasuke hot breath mix with his and barely there touches as Sasuke's lips ghosted over his as he spoke up again, "I want my boyfriend to be safe" the raven closed the barely a centimetre gap between his and Naruto's lips.


Sasuke banged harshly on the dog-lovers door, it was nearing 11 o'clock the raven quickly glanced towards his closed door, before banging louder at Kiba's door once more.

"Fucking people don't know the fucking meaning of fucking sleep. No fucking courtesy at all. Fuck!" Sasuke smirked at Kiba's colourful vocabulary, "what the fuck do you want!"

"Look after him" Sasuke glared before turning and heading down the stairs.

"da fuck?"


Sasuke glared out of the passenger's seat. At first he'd wondered what he had gotten himself into, the first night he had had that phone call, he had continued wondering along the way when he was picked up in the same dull grey convertible he was seated in now. But wondering never got him anywhere; question didn't give him answers, so Sasuke took what was handed to him in his stride. Crossing his arms over his broad chest the raven haired teenager closed his eyes.


"Why?" Sasuke repeated this time his voice did crack with a slight emotion, but it was fear or sadness…it was anger.

"Why?" Itachi repeated, pressing the blade further down onto his artery "hate is a strong emotion, little brother. People thrive because they hate, they hate the government, the god who created them, their enemies and their allies. Power is born through hate. You're weak, but you'll become stronger, I need you to become stronger. Because they won't let you be"

"Who's they?"

"The Akatsuki, the people I work for. They want you and that's why you have to become stronger"

"What does he want Zetsu?" Sasuke growled.

Zetsu was an older man, mid 30's, with dyed green hair and a black mask that covered half of his face hiding underneath it burn scars he'd received when he was younger. Sasuke didn't like this man, he conversed more with himself then with Sasuke, not that the Uchiha wanted to strike up a conversation with him, but he would like his questions to be answers once in a while.

"Should we tell him?"

"No he said not to"

"Hn, figures"

Zetsu pulled up to a mansion, it looked like a regular mansion. The driveway was long and the house was segregated from both the public and neighbours eye, the hedges were nicely trimmed, nothing was out of place. Snarling the Uchiha got out of the dull grey convertible, making sure to slam the door hard behind him. The Uchiha entered the grand house, Zetsu following suit a few steps behind. Sasuke kept his eyes hardened and fists tightened down the long straight hallway.

"Giving your boyfriend a gun is a defiant move Uchiha" Sasuke scoffed, "he won't like that"

"He won't?"

"Maybe he'll be punished; won't that be fun to see?"

"Have you been spying on me?" Sasuke stated, anger growing with each word he spoke. Though Sasuke didn't need an answer, he knew it was Zetsu who was sent to watch him; the green haired male served as the Akatsuki's spy.

"Orders Uchiha, we can't go getting into trouble no can we? You remember what happens don't you?" Sasuke knew, he knew all to well what happens. Both he and Kiba still bore the scars from his little punishment.

Sasuke scowled darkly as he neared the end of the long corridor. Slamming the doors open the Uchiha stormed into a dark room, the only source of light was behind a desk in the middle of the room. As Sasuke approached the desk, he was able to make out 3 tall figures, all too well known to Sasuke then to his liking.

"You made it, good Sasuke. We wouldn't want Kiba to end up in hospital again"

"What do you want me to do Deidara?"

The Akatsuki are world renown for their ruthless crimes, dabbling in drugs, smuggling and murders. The man, Deidara seated himself in between the other two. Deidara is second in command of the Akatsuki…at least in this region. He isn't a strong man, Sasuke had known this since their first encounter, the Uchiha was easily the stronger of the two but he had brains, a strategic master. Deidara was one of the reasons the Akatsuki had never been found out or caught by the police. Next to the lithe blonde haired male was Sasori, Sasori reminded Sasuke of Gaara when they had first crossed paths. Like Gaara Sasori was monotonous and silent with the same fiery red hair and the last was the carefree Tobi.

"Sasuke will be going on a mission with Tobi" the masked taller male declared cheerfully, "your looking more like Itachi each time I see you Sasuke" Sasuke glared, causing the black haired male to 'eep' and hid behind Deidara.


Naruto mournfully watched the fleeting night from the window ledge, where Sasuke was normally seated while he watched Naruto sleep. Naruto wasn't stupid, academically he wasn't smart he was barely average, but he wasn't stupid. He knew Sasuke watched him, he also knew the Uchiha didn't sleep, since the day they'd shared a room together he'd known. Even when Naruto had bunked in the same bed as Sasuke, he had been watching him sleep. Sighing, the blonde jumped off the window ledge, it was nearing 3 in the morning and still no sign of Sasuke.

Naruto was beginning to worry about the stoic raven.

"He'll be back soon" Naruto reassured himself, but the look of sorrow didn't falter from his face. Looking down at his self made bed – which consisted of his and Sasuke's sheets – Naruto sighed, laying down on the bed the blonde finally let sleep take him, "he'll be back"

To be continued...


A/n when Zetsu talk's, because he has a split personality italic's is his black side and none italic's is his white side...if that makes sence --;
