Chapter Fourteen

Naruto's P.O.V.

Sasuke's food was getting cold, and I was getting worried. I know he likes long showers but not when he knows people are waiting for him. His brother looked kind of worried as well, but everyone else was laughing and having a good time. Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore and I got up, running to the bathroom door.

"Sasu-kun! Are you okay?" There was a muffled noise but no answer. I tried opening the door but it was locked and I froze. Sasuke never locked the door, he said he was too worried that if something happened he'd be trapped.

"Sasuke!" I yelled, hitting the door as hard as I could with my shoulder. "I'm coming Sasuke, just hold on!"

"what's going on?" Itachi asked, running around the corner and seeing my face.

"He never locks the door and he's not answering!" I said, trying not to panic as I hit the door again. Gaara came around the corner with a knife and slid it between the door, jiggling it until he was able to yank the door open.

"Sasuke!" I cried out, running in and covering him with a towel and pulling him in to my arms. His face was still covering in blood but it had tear tracks running through it. His eyes were clenched closed and he was still crying as I held him tightly and undid the ropes. Itachi was beside us in an instant and I heard Gaara talking to the police. I pulled back the tape as carefully as I could and he clenched his teeth, burying his head in my chest and holding me close.

"I'm here." I whispered. "I'm so sorry."

"For what." He said quietly.

"I wasn't able to protect you." I replied, holding him gently. His grip tightened and he pushed away from me, slapping me across the face. I sat, staring down at his pissed off face, my eyes wide. He seemed to realize what he had done and his eyes shifted away from me.

"Just go." He whispered. I almost didn't hear what he said. But when I did I froze, then sighed in defeat, knowing this was inevitable from the very beginning. I smiled softly and let go of him, pushing him in to Itachi's arms.

"Please take care of him." I whispered, getting up and pushing past everyone. Gaara grabbed me by the arm but I just shook it off as tears streamed down my face. I hiccupped and ran out the door, needing to be alone.

Normal P.O.V.

Itachi stared down at me and sighed, handing me pants and getting up. I unconsciously grabbed his hand and gripped it tightly.

"Don't leave." I grumbled, looking away. He sighed and sat back down, rubbing his forehead.

"It's not safe for him to be out there right now Sasuke, even if you just broke up with him you shouldn't let him-." I cut him off by jumping up and shoving my pants on. I was in a lot of pain but I didn't care, I needed to go find him. I told him to go because I didn't want to hurt him, not because I was breaking up with him!

"Where are you going?" Itachi yelled, grabbing hold of me as I struggled to get out the front door.

"I wasn't breaking up with him, I didn't want him hurt! God damn it let me go I can't lose him!" I cried out. Gaara rushed out ahead of me and Itachi let me go. I was out the door and rivaling Gaara for speed despite his long legs.

"Follow me, I know where he would have gone." Gaara said, running across the street. I fell back slightly as we ran between two building and jumped over a fence, landing in a park. I could already see him at the top of one of the trees, wiping at his face with his sleeve. I burst forward, ignoring my body as it screamed in protest. I pulled myself up until I was panting heavily. He looked down in surprise and his face softened as he pulled me up to him.

"I wasn't…." I trailed off as I tried to breathe. He raised eyebrow and I groaned, grabbing his chin and kissing him passionately, my tongue pressing against his as he held me close. I pulled away after only a few seconds and put my head on his shoulder.

"The police are not going to be happy when they arrive and you aren't there!" Gaara yelled below. I groaned and held on to Naruto tighter. He put his arms around me, kissing my cheek and nuzzling me.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that, I just didn't want to hurt you again. I'm so sorry, please forgive me. Please, I can't lose you." I whispered, clinging to him.

"There's nothing to forgive, you won't ever lose me, I promise." He said cheerfully, hugging me. "Now let's go home."

Home was hectic, the same questions repeated and repeated, examining the entire bathroom and Sakura and Ino looking at me like they expected me to break. My brother was surprisingly calm and stayed by my side, his hand twitching ever so slightly, I knew that was a signal that he was pissed off.

"How did he escape in the first place?" My brother hissed, glaring at the police officer.

"We weren't even aware of it until you called, sir, but we are investigating and we will find him again." They explained, starting to pack up. Naruto handed me my heated up ramen and I smiled at him as he cuddled up to me. I started eating while watching the police leave the house.

"You need to relocate." Itachi said, his voice strained.

"There, there love, calm down." Deidara whispered, putting his (thought I would share that every time I almost write the female pronouns for Deidara xD) arms around my brother.

"Sasuke, I remember when I was younger I saw you running… It was from that man wasn't it." Sakura said quietly. I nodded and looked at my brother.

"Where would you suggest. I have enough money from our parents to go on living without a job until I atleast graduate but I don't want to leave this school." I said, putting another forkful of ramen in my mouth.

"Grrrawr!" I heard naruto exclaim. I looked down while blinking to see him smiling happily while munching on some ramen noodles that were hanging from my mouth. I stayed perfectly still as he ate all the way up to my mouth and then kissed me while purring. I kissed him back and rolled my eyes when he pulled away giggling.

"You are never watching Lady and the Tramp ever again." I said as he protested and pounced me. Itachi managed to grab the bowl from my hands as I cried out and fell to the floor with Naruto cuddling me. I sighed and wrapped my arms around him.

"Back to your question, we can get a two bedroom close to the school, if you want that is." Itachi said, looking at me hopefully. I raised my eyebrow in surprise that my brother just asked me to move in with him. I thought about it, but everything was going so quickly, I didn't know what to think.

"Hey, why not a three bedroom! Me, Shikamaru, Naruto, Sasuke, Itachi and Deidara! We'd save a bundle on rent and be there to watch each other's backs!" Gaara suggested, I laughed and shrugged as Naruto looked at me with puppy dog eyes.

"Please!" he yelled, making me cover my ears and groan.

"Okay, okay, but we are getting sound proofing for the walls because I do not want to hear Itachi and Deidara having sex!" I complained as Deidara blushed and hid in my brothers neck.

"Likewise, you know how disturbing it would be to hear you having sex?" he replied. I paled as flashes of Orichimaru came to mind and Naruto held me close.

"I'm here, I'll wait for however long you need, I'll take it slow, whatever you need love." Naruto whispered. I looked down at him in relief and nuzzled him.

"We've got to go, but we'll see you later okay?" Sakura said, actually hugging my brother again as I stared at them in question.

"You probably don't remember but I used to babysit her." I smiled slightly as she waved good bye and dragged Ino out of my apartment. Itachi was right, I don't think I'd ever be able to go in to that bathroom again without freaking out.

"Let's look for an apartment." I said, hugging Naruto close.
