MWAHAHAHA! I am back! From the dead? No. But close. I am back, from school. Please be expecting my chappies to take a long time to write. The only time I can write them is when I have no school (not including weekends). So, anywayyyy.....

Those who guess who the dark figure was, came pretty close. My choices were Gaara, Itachi, or Orochimaru. So, now you get to see who it is.

I'm way too tired to answer reviews at the moment, but a big thanks to those who reviewed. It really kept me going. Arigato!

Chapter 3: Awaken Again (Part 2)

Narutos' apartment was trashed. Naruto looked sorta surprised. Sasuke just shook his head.

"Ummm, why is my apartment so messy?" (A/N: Just like my room. Can't see the floor.)

"You always leave it this way. Don't ask me why." Sasuke said plainly, "Now let's just get used to this place for a while. I guess I'll just stay here to take care of you."

Before Sasuke could say anything else, Naruto pounced on him, "Ohhhh, thank you. I was afraid you'd leave me all alone."

Sasuke smiled. He knew Naruto, better than anyone else, except for Iruka probably.

"Ok, Naruto get off me." Sasuke sighed.

Naruto did as he was told to. He stood up and walked over to bathroom.

"Where are you going?"

"Must I ask your permission to go to the bathroom?"

Sasuke cringed, "Gomen, go ahead."

While Naruto did his "business", a million question entered Sasukes' mind.

//How would I get his memory back? What must I do? What if I let his secret slip? Does he love me? What if he hates me for not telling him about the demon inside him? What if he hates me for not telling him how much I love him? Kami-sama! This is too much. I can't tell him anything yet.// An image in him mind shut him up. The bite mark on Narutos' neck. Who did that? //The scent that had lingered on Naruto body was familiar. But, from where? Who could it have been? Was it...?//

"Ahem! Sasuke, are you okay?" Naruto interrupted his thoughts.

"Yes, I'm fine. It's you I have to worry about. Not you worry about me. Shall we begin getting your memory back?"

Naruto nodded.

.

The day was long and hard for Naruto. He had learned and remembered a few names. Like Iruka, Kakashi, Sakura, Hokage (the third), Lee, Gai, Jiraiya, and Konohamaru. The rest were hard. Especially Hinata, Kiba, Gaara, Ino, and Tsunade (the current Hokage).

Sasuke put away all the items used to help Naruto. He gave Naruto a look of improvement. Naruto grinned (A/N: His wonderful fox grin that we all know so well).

"Ugh, I'm so tired. Can I sleep now Sasuke?" He yawned.

Sasuke did too. "Sure, I will watch over you."

"Ok!" Naruto leaned over and kissed Sasuke on the cheek, leaving a small blush on each boys cheeks.

//Maybe he does still love me.// Sasuke thought.

He plopped on the bed and pulled the covers over himself. In an instant, he was asleep. Sasuke was very tired as well, but he'd tried to stay awake to watch Naruto.

The moon lit room. Sasuke was surprised he had lost track of time. He shrugged it off.

It was very hard to stay awake. Soon, Sasuke slumped to the floor and slept.

.

Not much more than an hour later, a dark figure entered the room through the open window. He paused and stared at the quiet and peaceful room. He made no sign of noticing Sasuke asleep on the floor nearby. All his attention was focused on Naruto.

His footsteps were soft and soundless as he walked towards Naruto. He leaned over the beautiful blonde boy. So fragile, so sweet, so innocent. He licked his lips.

This time, he wore no mask or anything to hide his face. He wanted to be known. He wanted the one he loved to know who he is.

His black hair fell over his shoulder from the ponytail in the back. He brushed the dark bangs away from red eyes. (A/N: Guess who it is? Got it yet?)

He sat on the bed where Naruto lay. His hand moved up to Narutos' face. He followed the whisker/scars/birthmarks (whatever they are) with his fingers. His mouth moved to Narutos' ears.

He whispered, "Wake up."

Suddenly, Narutos' eyes shot open. Before he could let out a scream, the dark figure put his hand over Narutos' mouth.

"Shhhh." He grinned, "Wouldn't wanna wake poor Sasuke-kun, would you? He hasn't slept in so long. He needs it. I've been watching you, Naruto-koi."

Narutos' eyes shot open wide as images from his past came to him. Horrible images of a nine tailed demon fox, blood, many dead people, and the dark figure before him.

"I'll take my hand off your mouth if you promise not to scream. You promise?"

Naruto nodded. He took a deep breath when the hand moved from his mouth. Then the figure fingered the bite mark he left on Narutos' neck.

"I'm so sorry about that. I just had to. I couldn't help it. You taste so good, you know?"

Naruto blinked, then looked as if was about to cry. "Why didn't Sasuke tell me about my past? Doesn't he care?"

"Yes, he does, but not as much as I. I believe you saw that we were former lovers. Right?" He hissed seductively.

Naruto gulped and nodded. He gasped when the figure took him by surprise with a deep kiss.

"Familiar, ne?"

Another nod. "What do you want with me now?"

"I want you to come with me. Leave Konoha. Become stronger."

"No, I can't leave Sasuke. I... I..." Naruto stuttered on the last bit.

The dark figures face held a look of disgust, "Love him? How could you love him? He's so cold and hollow. He only wants you because you belong to me. He's always wanted my stuff. Forget him."

Narutos' eyes filled with fire almost, "Never. I will not leave Sasuke." His voice rose louder. The dark figure put his hand back over Narutos' mouth.

"Quiet. Ouch!" Naruto had bit him. The moment his hand moved from Narutos' mouth. He screamed loud.

Sasuke woke, hearing Narutos' scream, he stood and turned.

What he saw shook him to the bones.

//It can't be. He wouldn't.// Sasuke glared with the sharingan now in his eyes.

"What are you doing here," he hissed, pure hatred in his voice, "Itachi?"

TBC...

Yayyyyy! That was much better than I had expected it to be. It still sucks and no Ino-Saku action, but hey. I did good.

So, R & R. I plan on at least two more chapters, probably more, but this story is hard to write.

See ya on my next chappie!
