I took so long…..BUT I have reason for it. So I went to read this story right? And I was like WTF was I writing about. My grammar was too horrible and some doesn't even make sense, so I rewrote THE WHOLE THING.
Reread my story if you like it:) I changed a lot of stuff and added some people in. I even changed Sakura's personality to more mature I guess.
If you want stuff to make sense REREAD it!
I took a long time so it should be better.

Chapter 14
"GOAL!" The two little10 year old Naruto and Sasuke went out like a typical day to the park as they played a soccer match with their schoolmates. It was simple for the two sport geniuses to win any game they played.
In the cloudy afternoon, they would have could have played one more game if the sky wasn't so gloomed above them. It was dark and the sky roared as the sound of lightning flashed across the sky. Despite they didn't want to, it was time to go home.
"That was a fun game!" Naruto wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled at his best friend. Sasuke smiled back but complained a little because the game was too simple.
"Yeah, it was. I learned it new trick but didn't get to use it." He sighed. "I will teach you next time."
They walked faster as they felt the heavy storm coming. It was rare for this place to have this kind of weather; they could tell it would be dangerous if they don't head home soon.
As the two got home, Naruto waved at Sasuke and shouted out his plan for tomorrow." Sasuke! See you in two days, my parents are bringing me to onsen(hot spring) tomorrow!" He shined his teeth before turning to his house.
What is Ka-san gonna cook tonight? Naruto ran to his door as he rubbed his hungery stomach. Just when he was about to reached the door knob, a car starting noise caught his attention. It was then he caught a glimpse of his dad's face and his mother's red hair.
"Otou-san?" The word came out in a mumbled when the question where they were going popped up. He thought their eyes meet for a second before he drove off but shook off the thought since they will surely tell him where they were going if he saw him.
The little boy turned his attention back at the door thinking they might be just going for a shopping. They will be back soon. He opened the door with the sensor card and shove it into his pocket. He kicked off his shoes and ran towards the fridge for some snack to settle down his loud stomach.
Naruto's house is huge; he sometimes doesn't like it because of the long hall he has to walk in order to get to the kitchen. For the other reason he hated, the space in this hall has gave him a creep at the night. It never has been a problem till recently that he felt something odd is going to happen. He always has the right instinct when something is not right, he usually is right. And this feeling felt very strong today. He couldn't pin point what.
The hall was dark and the gloominess in the sky and wasn't helping to the situation at all, it only made him harder to bear this uneasiness.
As the boy got into the living room, his steps slowed before it completely stopped. What he saw made his eyes widened, and his mind twisted and refused to believe.
The room was empty.
There was nothing there, no furniture, no TV, nothing, expected a picture of the family lying on the floor.
Without thinking, Naruto ran to his parents and room and just like the outside, there was nothing. An uncomfortable feeling lurched in his stomach as he slowly came to realization what might had happened.
They had abandoned him.
Abandoned Uzumaki Naruto, their son and took everything with them.
He was now sure his dad had seen him before he drove off, they don't want him anymore. He walked back to the living room slowly as he refused to believe it might be true. He felt his heart pounded heavily and the stinging tears threatened to pour out.
They can't leave me? Did they hate me? He fell on his knees and remind in that position thinking of the possible things he had got them mad. Was it because he broke his mom's favourite vase recently? Was it because he sneakily ate his dad's pudding? He thought of many things they could get mad at him, but it wouldn't be that bad to make them leave, would it?
"Gomensai…. Gomensai," he felt tears ran down wetting his shirt. "It was all my fault, p-please c-come back." The cry broke out and he tried his best to wipe away the tears streaming down his cheeks.
They were very good parents, he loved them and they loved him. He knew they do, they give him warmth when he needed it, they kissed him when he goes to bed, they cook his favourite meal when he asked for it. They smiled at him and hugged him all the time.
Then why?
The little blonde hair boy hugged his knee and buried his head in when the tears were kept under control. He sat in the middle of the empty room refusing to believe they abandoned him. Yes, they might just be going to place the stuff in their new home, they will come back to get him later. He forced his mind to think of it as a little trip away.
Hugged his legs tighter, he muttered silently to himself.
"P-please don't leave me."
He waited, but they never came home.
It has been 3 days and they never came. Naruto has been sitting there in the center of that lonely room for 3 days waiting for his parents to come and get him. Now he has lost hope in them, from time to time he had wondered if they had ever loved him, maybe he was just an eyesore in their eyes.
He continued to sit there, not sleeping, not eating, doing nothing but just started at the sky. It was raining that day, and oh how much he wanted the rain to wash this pain away. He felt his tiny heart has been crushed from the inside. There was nothing he could do but gripped onto his shirt and cried away the bitterness.
The door bell rang, but he couldn't hear it. Nothing was in his mind but the face of his parents. Even that has been slowly fainting.
The door bell continued to ring, but he made no move to open it. His eyes were focused on that dark sky.
"Naruto, it's me, Sasuke." The little Uchiha rang the door bell before taking a step back to wait for Naruto to open the door and jump on him like usual.
No response.
He rang again and knocked at the door while calling his name at the same time. He knew Naruto is in there, he had promised to meet today and he had never broken a promise before. Even if he had some kind of emergency, he would surely call the Uchiha to let him know beforehand. But he didn't.
When there was still no response after a few minutes of ringing the bell, Sasuke quickly ran to his house to get the sensor card key Naruto had gave him. They had given each other their home card so they could enter whenever they want. It doesn't matter since they both consider each other as brothers even if they aren't related.
Letting the card slide through the lock, the door opened in a click. Sasuke peeked his head inside to see if Naruto was playing joke on him, but it didn't seem like it.
Is he not home? He asked himself but ignore the thought when he saw Naruto's shoes lying in the front.
A sense of worry came down to him and the Uchiha walked in to see if something had happened to him. He took off his shoes and walked in the dark hall. It felt cold and a shiver ran down his back, the darkness in the hall was making him alerted. Sasuke reached his little hand up to turned on the light switch.
"Naruto?" His voice was very soft, though he doesn't know why. He walked to the book room, but Minato wasn't where he always was. He passed by the piano room but there was no sign of Kushina either. What was really weird was all the stuff was gone. There was nothing but an empty room.
An angst feeling lurched in his stomach as he walked back down the hall. Deciding to check up on Naruto's room, he turned to the only way leading to his room. As he passed by the living room, he felt his body paralysed when he saw Naruto sitting in the room, back facing him.
It scared him. Merely the figure of the blonde sitting there silently and unmoving make the back of Sasuke's hair stood up.
"N-Naruto?" He wondered why his voice sounded as if he doesn't really know this person. Sasuke took a step forward and make sure the boy had heard him.
He didn't move, didn't response.
His oddness was really getting to him, Sasuke take no more time to call out his name, he ran to the boy and kneeled down in front of him while taking his shoulder.
"A-are you ok? What happened?" His face went pale when he saw Naruto's face. His face was hollow, eyes unfocused with dark circles under each of them. He was looking at the sky, not at the Uchiha. He barely seen to even noticed who he was. Only giving him a glance at the boy he played with everyday then his gaze was back at the dark clouds again.
"Naruto!" He shook him harder when he felt the uncomfortable feeling his eyes were giving him. The sky blue and the bright spark he gave out in his big eyes were gone. It was emotionless and lifeless as he looked into them.
This boy almost seem strange to him, he was not the bright and big-mouth friend Sasuke hang out with everyday.
"Liar." Naruto opened his crack lips.
"They are all liars." It was then he saw Naruto gripping onto his family photo know what he meant.
Tears dripping down from his cold eyes but he didn't make any move to wipe them away. It will be the last time he cry for them.
Sasuke felt his heart twisted in a knot when he saw his best friend like this. He doesn't know how to comfort people but he hated to see Naruto like this. It made him want to cry along.
Taking his two arms, Sasuke slowly lifted himself and Naruto up. The blonde didn't complained, nor look at him. His eyes were on the floor.
"Naruto, come to my house." He grabbed his hand and led the blonde out of this creepy house. It was obvious Sasuke would not let him refuse no matter what, he has to come with him. He wouldn't want his best friend to spend any more second in the place filled with his parent's memory. Either they were good or bad.
A few days have passed but the blonde hasn't said a word yet. Sasuke's parents welcome him and took care of him when he found out what his parent did. They couldn't believe such a good man would abandon their children, but it was a fact they did. Naruto was silent despite many attempts the Uchiha tried to talk to him, his eyes were always staring blankly at something that wasn't there.
The time passed by regularly with the loud Uchiha hanging around with the blonde all the time trying to get him back to himself. Even if the Uchiha thought Naruto was loud all the time, it felt very lonely when he doesn't say anything. He had been by his side for the past few months talking to him as much as he could, the effort made him glad when he saw Naruto gotten better even if it was a little.
6/3 that day afternoon, the two sat by the river to watch the orange sunset as it goes down the horizon. Naruto settled himself on the grass field as his eyes followed the rocks Sasuke skipped on the river.
"Naruto, why don't you try?" The black hair boy hand a pebble over to the blonde. Naruto stared at it for a second before taking it. He didn't move from his pot and merely threw it towards the river.
Skip, skip , skip , skip.
Much to his surprise, it was the first time he skipped over twice. This made him smiled a little. Upon seeing his slight change in expression, Sasuke smiled and slapped him on the back praising his skill. Even he couldn't go pass three skips.
"Hey Naruto, I'm gonna go get us a drink, I will be back very soon." He ran off to his house despite the Uzumaki told him to wait.
He didn't get a chance to tell him, but there was this uneasy feeling stirring in him. It felt like something is not right and he doesn't want to Uchiha to go anywhere.
He couldn't tell what but his instinct is always correct, he sensed something is going to happen, very soon.
He felt the same way the day his parent abandoned him. Without thinking any more, the blonde got up from the grass and ran towards the Uchiha mansion.
He didn't notice his heart was beating very fast.
I couldn't fit both back stories so next chapter is Sasuke's.
Review me.
