Hello everyone,
Requested by: falsedfaith691: Glad you like it.. :) I am glad you ate a lot out of the last chapter you will be eating more in this one.
Wolfy04: Glad you like the story. Here is the new chapter.. :)
Guest: It will be a SasuNaru. :)
Guest: I don't usually have a preference either but yes this one will be a SasuNaru. I also agree with you when you say Naruto always has his walls up so I thought the same type of trust. I think that him submitting to Sasuke is a pure sign of trust. Your whole review was exactly what I was thinking and wanted to show I am glad you understood everything I was pointing out.
It has been two months since Naruto has been in military school and been on probation. Despite saying, he wanted more than one sparring partner he always fought with Sasuke and noticed Sasuke didn't really leave his side even during the school day. One thing was for sure was that he had grown quite fond of Sasuke and knew he was happy to be around him.
"Naruto, what the hell is wrong with you? You're not focused at all." Sasuke said currently having pinned Naruto to the ground.
"Sorry got distracted." Naruto said.
"You must have been really distracted because even while distracted you could normally defend yourself." Sasuke said getting off Naruto.
Naruto noticed something within the month of being there was that he loved to taunt Sasuke. And that he has grown really weak towards wanting to fight Sasuke and it irked him because he found Sasuke fun to pick on.
"Maybe I just like it when you're on top of me." Naruto said getting up.
"You're an idiot," Sasuke said walking away from Naruto.
Naruto didn't get tired or annoyed by the Uchiha whenever he was around him it was a sense of relief and Sasuke noticed that especially whenever Naruto got mad. There were several occasions where Sasuke calmed Naruto down by just a touch. Now Sasuke could never get Naruto to fight him seriously no matter how hard he tried and it annoyed him but he knew why. Sasuke realized Naruto was ashamed of his power because he knew it was destructive and it scared everyone he knew. Sasuke felt like Naruto didn't want to push away the few people that have accepted him so he just withholds it.
"Naruto, if you can't actually fight me seriously then I feel like you should get another sparring partner because this isn't working. Spar with Itachi or Kakashi," Sasuke said but found himself pinned against the door preventing anyone from coming in or going out.
"Naruto, what the fuck?" Sasuke said threw gritted teeth because he didn't like it when Naruto sneaks him but he knew he should always be on defense with Naruto around but this felt different and he couldn't get out of his hold.
"Naruto, let me go." Sasuke said calmer now.
Getting angry at Naruto never did anything to simmer him so he always tried the calm approach.
Naruto pulled away with his head down not looking up at Sasuke and Sasuke wasn't sure what was going on. Sasuke tried to reach toward Naruto but Naruto pulled away and just walked in the other direction. It irked Sasuke when Naruto did that, he didn't speak he just walked away with his head down like a dog that just got yelled at. Sasuke went after Naruto and got the fight that he wanted out of Naruto. Naruto flipped him on his back knocking the air out of him and didn't let up by pulling him off the ground and was about to punch until Naruto looked at Sasuke's eyes and just dropped him and walked away from him not saying another word leaving the room completely. Sasuke was bewildered by everything. Yeah what happened hurt him a lot but that's why he liked fighting Naruto he always got different moves and liked to learn them but what just happened was different. Sasuke saw the hurt in Naruto's eyes. Sasuke learned a lot more about Naruto in the past two months as he found out the reason why Naruto was sent there was because a girl was about to get raped at his old group home and he nearly beat the life out of the two boys that were doing it. Naruto was a protector but he didn't want to amount to more than being a hoodlum. Sasuke got up off the floor and walked out the room and went straight to his room to find Sai in the room alone.
"Uchiha, Uzumaki grabbed his stuff and walked out the dorm." Sai said.
"What do you mean his stuff?" Sasuke asked.
"All his things that were in here." Sai said and went to his bathroom.
Sasuke immediately ran out of their dorm to Itachi. When he got there he was in for a huge surprise seeing Naruto talking to his father.
"Father, what's going on?" Sasuke said coming up to them skeptically.
"Naruto brought it to my attention that he thinks he is too good for this place and that maybe prison would be better for him." Fugaku said gruffly.
Sasuke could tell his father was angry by Naruto's comments.
"Naruto, why would you say that?" Sasuke said looking at Itachi and Kakashi that were sitting on the side.
"It's just that I don't belong here Uchiha so bud out." Naruto said not even giving Sasuke a glance.
Sasuke was irritated. What the hell happened? Sasuke couldn't take it anymore and then he noticed Naruto was still reading during all this and just realized he reverted back to how he used to be when he came to the school. He ripped the book out of Naruto's hands and the whole room turned to ice by Sasuke's action.
"Uchiha, give me my book back." Naruto said in a cold detached voice.
"Not until you explain why you want to leave here." Sasuke said walking toward the door.
"Come on Sasuke, give him back his book." Itachi said scared for his little brother.
"No," Sasuke remained completely calm because he didn't want to show his fear of letting Naruto go.
Sasuke's fear right now was for two reasons he knows Naruto's true power but the other fear was losing the blonde he grew attached too. Naruto got up slowly and didn't speak but was going to beat someone's ass.
"I will only ask one more time to give me my book back." Naruto said not showing his eyes.
"N- "Sasuke didn't even get the word out before Naruto charged at him.
Before Naruto could get a hold of him he ran out the room and ran like his life depended on it. In this case it probably did depend on it.
"Uchiha, why are you running?" Neji asked as he saw his captain running.
"Get out the way Naruto is coming after me." Sasuke said running, Neji got out the way immediately.
A minute later Naruto came running past down the hall. Sasuke got to the swimming area and hid the book immediately.
"Uchiha, give me my book. I chased after you long enough." Naruto said not even panting like Sasuke was.
"No, I will not until you tell me why you want to leave here." Sasuke said and was shocked that he was actually able to say it.
"Why don't you just let me go? It's not like I need to be here to be okay." Naruto said completely frustrated never lifting his eyes to Sasuke.
"Say that to me then. Tell me why. LOOK AT ME IN MY EYES!" Sasuke screamed the ending.
Sasuke started to walk toward Naruto because he just wanted to know. Why was Naruto running away?
"Why are you running away from me Naruto?" Sasuke whispered.
"I'm not," Naruto whispered but didn't lift his head but he knew Sasuke was near him to grab him but at that moment he didn't want to hurt or grab him let alone touch him.
"Yeah you are," Sasuke said standing right in front of Naruto. "Show me your face. You have been so strong but right now you look pretty weak." Sasuke said.
Naruto growled and pushed them both into the water.
"I'M NOT WEAK!" Naruto screamed as he shook Sasuke.
Sasuke grunted at the impact but stayed steady because he needed to see Naruto's eyes.
"THEN WHY LEAVE?" Sasuke screamed back at him punching Naruto in the face.
"BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE!" Naruto screamed.
"NO IT'S BECAUSE YOUR SCARED. WHY?" Sasuke said egging Naruto on and pushing and punching he felt tears start to prick his eyes.
"I AM NOT SCARED! I JUST CAN'T BE HERE ANYMORE! I CAN'T CONTROL MY STRENGTH AND I DON'T WANT TO HURT ANYONE!" Naruto screamed hitting Sasuke back.
"YOUR SO STUPID! I CAN TAKE EVERYTHING YOU DISH AT ME!" Sasuke screamed pushing Naruto into a wall.
"No you can't," Naruto whispered.
The sudden whisper after an arguing match between the two made Sasuke feel weird.
"Say whatever you got to say to my face." Sasuke said not caring if he would get hit.
"Your weak," Naruto said suddenly full of confidence.
"What?" Sasuke said threw gritted teeth.
"What? Are you mad?" Naruto said pushing Sasuke away from him but still not showing his eyes.
"Stop pushing me away. You're not going to trick me Naruto. You're just trying to push my buttons so I fight you. I won't fight you until you tell me why you are running away from ME." Sasuke said.
Naruto sighed and dipped under the water. Sasuke wasn't sure but he didn't like Naruto being under the water if he was on top but he couldn't think fully before he got pulled under the water. It didn't last long because Naruto swam up to him and kissed him on his lips gently then swam up.
Sasuke came up right after and saw that Naruto was trying to swim away so he grabbed him by his leg and pulled him back to him.
"I don't know what all your crazy actions mean but I know you care about me now explain before I do hit you." Sasuke said unsure of how to feel from getting kissed again.
"Are you that much of an idiot?" Naruto said trying to get his feet away from Sasuke.
"Maybe I am," Sasuke said swimming up to Naruto.
"Get away from me," Naruto mumbled.
"Not a chance," Sasuke said pulling Naruto toward him now by his arm.
Sasuke was sick of not understanding Naruto it was making him irritated beyond belief. Whenever Naruto was away from him he hated it, whenever he was by someone else he hated it, whenever he was reading he tried to grab his attention. Sasuke started to pay attention more and more to Naruto that he realized Naruto consumed his time. He couldn't stand it.
"Naruto, Sasuke, you two need to come back to father's office." Itachi said by the door.
"He's not leaving Itachi tell father that." Sasuke said.
Itachi let them get out the water but was clearly irritated by being there.
"Itachi, why are you still here? Tell father what I said." Sasuke said gesturing for his brother to leave them alone.
Itachi's eyebrow twitched but he knew his brother needed alone time with Naruto so he did as he was asked to do. When they were alone Naruto stood up and didn't look at anything in particular.
"I don't understand you. WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE INVOLVED WITH ME?" Naruto screamed finally lifting his head so Sasuke could see his eyes.
Sasuke was shocked to see that Naruto was crying. It's like the world stopped. Sasuke didn't even realize when he stood up and reached out to Naruto giving him a hug.
"I'm sorry I didn't realize being around me brought you this much pain." Sasuke whispered in Naruto's ear gently rubbing his full head of hair. "But you got to believe me when I say I won't bail on you." Sasuke whispered still holding onto Naruto.
Naruto didn't know what to say. He was at a standstill no one ever showed that they cared about him this much and Sasuke reached out to Naruto both times hell every time he pulled away Sasuke pulled him back to him. Naruto resisted the urge he had to hug Sasuke back.
"Naruto, you're not a bad person. Your parents would be proud of you. Yeah you're a bit too violent but your still good at heart." Sasuke said chuckling at the ending and feeling Naruto chuckle too.
Sasuke had felt the weight that was on Naruto's shoulders get lifted off the teen. Sasuke felt bad for Naruto after everything he just wanted to be normal but with his type of life he always had to be strong so he could never be normal.
"Your you and I'm me. As long as you remember that you will be fine." Sasuke said grabbing Naruto's face with both his hands to look him directly in the eyes.
Naruto tried to look away but Sasuke held his face so he couldn't move away from him.
"Why do you insist on running away from me?" Sasuke said as Naruto kept trying to hide his face.
"I don't know, you bastard." Naruto screamed in his face shocking them both making Sasuke let go and them both falling to the ground.
"Okay, now that that's over can you come to the office now?" Kakashi asked.
Kakashi must have come to get them after Itachi did because Itachi must have been irritated. Naruto and Itachi were pretty close also but not once did Naruto ever want to fight with Itachi. This time though Sasuke was sure he wouldn't be able to get out of going to the office with Naruto. They started to head to Kakashi when Naruto stopped and the other two both looked at him. They raised their eyebrows at him basically asking why he stopped.
"Give me back my book bastard." Naruto said.
"I will give it back to you when we get out of the office." Sasuke said continuing to walk ignoring the glance Kakashi gave him.
"Sasuke," Naruto said threw gritted teeth.
Sasuke didn't turn around though he just kept walking but stopped at the door to wait for Naruto to continue toward him. Naruto did follow Sasuke without any further words but they never spoke. Kakashi noticed the close contact they had with one another, how Sasuke watched Naruto out of the side of his eye when Naruto wasn't looking, and how Naruto seemed to relax around Sasuke.
'How endearing,' Kakashi thought.
When they finally got to the office Naruto sat in the same seat he was in before and Sasuke stood above him. Fugaku was about to talk when Naruto raised his hand to speak, Fugaku let him talk.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean any of what I said to you earlier even though your school is really easy for me… but I do like it here and I would wish to stay." Naruto said looking Fugaku in the eye as he said everything.
Fugaku looked at everyone in the room then back at Naruto.
"Okay Naruto, but don't let what happen tonight happen again. I also want you sparring with both Itachi and Kakashi at least once a week." Fugaku said seeing that the two teens were about to talk he raised his hand to quiet them. "You two can still spar but he will be sparring with these two once a week. You may go Naruto." Fugaku said.
That got Naruto up as he was walking out the door Sasuke was following close behind him until Fugaku called to him.
"Sasuke, I still need to talk to you so you are staying here until we're done." Fugaku said.
Sasuke nodded then told Naruto he would see him at the dorm and sat down where Naruto was just sitting.
"Sasuke, we need to know what's going on between you and Naruto." Fugaku said.
"We hang out when he's not focused on his books." Sasuke said not sure what his father wanted.
"Sasuke, he isn't talking about that. We want to know to what extent is your relationship with Naruto." Itachi said.
"If I had to say I would say we're friends. He doesn't really let people in," Sasuke said honestly.
"You don't have feelings for him?" Kakashi asked this time.
Sasuke was starting to feel weird because he didn't know where this was coming from.
"What do you guys want to know? Why do you keeping asking me these weird questions? Just get on and ask me what you want to know." Sasuke questioned getting irritated.
Itachi sighed, "are you two dating?" Itachi asked to frustrated to deal with this anymore.
"No, why?" Sasuke asked curiously tilting his head to the side.
"Naruto seems to really care about you. He gets along with Itachi even before he came here but what we noticed when you two were in here was different compared to what we normally see. So we thought you two had a fight and then he wanted to get away by talking trash about the school so we would kick him out." Fugaku explained.
"Yeah we argued before he came in to your office but it's not because we're in that sort of relationship. I told him to spar with someone else because he doesn't get serious with me anymore and I don't like that." Sasuke said honestly.
"Okay well that's all we wanted to know you can go back to your dorm." Fugaku said.
"Oh and Sasuke make sure you don't get to involved with Naruto because if he gets to attached it might be hard for him later on in his life." Kakashi warned.
"What do you mean by that?" Sasuke asked looking at Kakashi with an irritated expression.
"You two are really attached to each other already but what are you both going to do when you have to go your separate ways? Think about your actions before you do any of them." Kakashi said and walked past Sasuke right out the door.
"He irritates my soul," Sasuke mumbled and walked out the door leaving a very amused Itachi and a concerned Fugaku.
Sasuke slowly walked back to the pool area to go and grab Naruto's book only to find it not there anymore.
'Damn that fucker knew where it was the whole time and didn't grab it and run with it. Why?' Sasuke thought.
Sasuke walked out of the pool area and went to his dorm to find Naruto on his bed once again reading his book and Gaara on his own laptop and Sai drawing Naruto laying down. Which at the moment irritated Sasuke to no end, he didn't like Sai drawing Naruto.
"Naruto, why are you on my bed again? Shimura for the love of everyone stop drawing people it's weird." Sasuke said irritated.
"What's got your panties in a bunch, Uchiha?" Sai asked still drawing Naruto.
Naruto didn't seem to really care that Sai was drawing him he knew he was he just didn't do anything about it. Sasuke sat next to Naruto on his bed. Naruto moved over so Sasuke could be close to him. Sai just watched the two and started to draw both of them on a new paper. Naruto kept reading his story as Sasuke just leaned on him, Gaara continued on his laptop while Sai kept drawing them. Sasuke didn't realize he was tired until he fell asleep. Sai gestured to Naruto pointing toward Sasuke and Naruto moved to look at him to find him sleeping soundly. Gaara had to hold back a chuckle when he was down and found them both sleeping next to each other Naruto having his book on top of his chest but his head leaning on Sasuke's shoulder.
"They seem really comfortable with each other." Sai said laying down on his bed as Gaara also got on his own bed turning off their lights.
"Maybe they want to do more than sleep together." Sai suggested looking at the ceiling.
"Shut up Shimura," Gaara said falling asleep rather quickly in his bed.
Two hours passed when Sasuke finally woke up and realized he was being confined by something but he wasn't sure what it was because it was dark then he remembered that he fell asleep next to Naruto. He looked toward Naruto and saw his tan arm on his chest wrapped around him like he was holding his pillow. Sasuke knew he was blushing from the position they were in but he was glad no one was awake to see. Sasuke started to move Naruto's arm out the way so he could get up and move until he started to hear whispering coming from Naruto. Sasuke moved closer to Naruto so he could hear what he was saying and was shocked to hear Naruto was telling him not to move that he was warm with him next to him. That made Sasuke only blush harder but he needed to use the bathroom so he had to get up no matter what.
"Naruto," Sasuke whispered.
No response.
"Naruto," Sasuke whispered again but this time he nudged Naruto's side.
This time Naruto grunted but didn't move.
"Naruto, get your ass up." Sasuke said in a louder tone and pushed Naruto off the bed completely.
"What the hell Sasuke?" Naruto said gruffly getting off the ground and shuffling his hair that made Sasuke think he was cute but he would never admit that out loud to Naruto.
Naruto started to move back onto Sasuke's bed before Sasuke stopped him. Naruto just raised his eyebrow waiting for Sasuke to say whatever he had to say so he could go back to sleep.
"Go to your bed, Naruto." Sasuke said like the answer was obvious.
Naruto simply ignored Sasuke because he wanted to lay on his bed. Sasuke grunted at the fact that Naruto was just going to simply ignore him, so he just went to the bathroom. Sasuke looked at his face in the mirror and didn't know at the moment who he was looking at because he didn't know what to think about on how the whole day went. Kakashi's words kept ringing in his head and he didn't know or understand how to distance himself from Naruto and hell he didn't even know if he really wanted too. Why close himself off from Naruto after he tried so hard to get him to open up the little bit he has already.
'I am definitely not going to shut him out like a lot of other people do. Hell maybe I can even change his mind about joining the military.' Sasuke thought.
When Sasuke walked out of the bathroom Naruto wasn't on either bed not on his or on his own. He turned toward the window and saw the bright haired boy and smiled that he looked like a star in that light then got jealous over the fact that he couldn't make Naruto smile the way he just now to the moon.
"Naruto," Sasuke called out to him approaching him.
Naruto just turned his head in the direction from where he heard Sasuke's voice then looked back out the window. Sasuke walked to him and wondered what was going on in his mind.
"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked.
"You keep asking me why do I run away but you never told me why you don't just leave me alone and ignore me." Naruto said gently.
Sasuke was shocked by what he was told but sat next to Naruto anyway even though Naruto didn't seem to want to be by him.
"I honestly…" Sasuke started but Naruto finished.
"Don't know…" Naruto said turning his head.
They just sat there not talking in a comfortable silence. Sasuke wasn't sure whether he wanted to hug Naruto or smack him because Naruto stirred emotions he never had for anyone before.
"Do you remember the reason I got sent here? Do you remember why I told you?" Naruto asked quietly.
"I remember what you told me. But you never told me why you decided to tell me." Sasuke said quietly.
"I didn't know why I told you when I told you but now I know why." Naruto whispered.
"What? What was it?" Sasuke asked.
"I trust you," Naruto said walking to his bed and jumping on it to lay down.
Sasuke sat down amazed by what just happened because he didn't completely understand why the conversation ended the way it did. But he wasn't going to wake Naruto up after he heard him softly breathing proving he was asleep. Sasuke moved to his bed to lay down. He fell asleep that night thinking about everything that Naruto told him in the past few months. After all the thoughts ran around through his mind he realized what Kakashi meant today and why his father and brother were so worried about him it was because Naruto was seriously damaged by everything in his past.
