Thank you my loyal reviewers: kitsune-deemon, hogo-chan, gothangel123, Yaoilover S, Tamara 2187, Ebony Colmen, Xx sTaR-bLuE-AnGeL xX, inu's-girl-forever, flclinutri, sodesne, SnowKitsuneX, Sayumi-chan, Manga-lover123, and Generally Maz.

Sodesne, in the show, Itachi said he killed the family to test his strength. Stupid reason, but whatever… I think he just said that to cover up his real reason.

I can't believe they're changing Haku into a girl in the dubbed version of the anime! That's pure EVIL! And my friend said that they're changing Sasuke's name to Jack. Please tell me that's not true!

Oh and Sayumi-chan, I'll try to make them more in character in this chapter.

Chapter 10: Oh Crap…

Naruto ran towards the hospital, eager to see Sasuke. With his cheerful smile planted firmly on his face, he checked himself in at the counter and raced up the stairs.

As he opened the door, he saw Sasuke sitting on the bed with his eyes closed; an angered expression on his face.

"Sasuke?" Naruto asked carefully.

Sasuke spun around and glared at the intruder. When he realized that it was Naruto, he relaxed.

Sitting down on the chair beside Sasuke's bed, Naruto asked, "What's up?"

"Nothing. I thought you had tutoring?"

Naruto grinned, "You're getting released from the hospital today so I thought we could hang out."

"I'm getting released in the afternoon."

"I know. I just wanted to see you, that are all."

"Right…" Sasuke rolled his eyes, "I bet you just wanted to ditch class."

Naruto laughed, rubbing the back of his head.

"Naruto?"

"Nani?"

"The day after I got hit by the car, you said something about something that happened four years ago; what happened?"

Naruto looked away, "Nothing happened."

"Bullshit! Something happened. Tell me what!"

Naruto didn't say anything.

"Aren't we supposed to be friends?"

"Yes…"

"Then tell me!"

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"Because you'll hate me."

"No I won't."

"Yes you will! You'll despise me, just like everybody else!" Naruto's eyes began to water and he desperately wiped them away.

Sasuke grabbed Naruto by the shoulders, "Naruto look at me."

Naruto looked up, tears in his eyes.

"I'm not going to hate you."

"Yes you will! You hated me before and you'll hate me again!"

Sasuke paused, "Didn't you say we were friends?"

"I…"

"Why did you lie to me?" Sasuke shouted.

"I…"

"You what?"

"I just wanted a friend." Naruto said, tears spilling down his cheeks.

"Then you shouldn't lie." Sasuke replied, unfazed by the tears(1).

"I'm sorry." Naruto whispered.

"Sorry's not good enough!"

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"Tell me what happened four years ago."

"Fine. But you have to listen to the whole story first…

Gaara and I are fraternal twins and we were born with supernatural powers; the power to curse people. When I was born, our mother died of blood loss. We were placed in a foster home, and five years later, a man approached us saying he's our father and we moved in with him.

At first, he was very nice to us. But then word about me being the cause of my mother's death reached him and he began abusing me. It was always physical abuse so I could deal with it.

But then one day, he raped me. And I couldn't take it anymore. I grabbed a lamp that was nearby and started slamming him on the head non-stop. I just kept hitting him and hitting him until I realized that he was long dead. I dropped the weapon in my hands and leaned against the wall for support. Just then, some lady walked in from outside. She took one look at my dad's dead body and started screaming. I told her to stop, but she wouldn't. She just wouldn't stop screaming!

The noise started attracting neighbours, and I didn't want people to see what I've done. So I ran into the kitchen and grabbed a knife. And I stabbed her. I stabbed that lady who wouldn't stop screaming. And everybody else just stood there, glaring at me with those eyes full of hatred and fear. I looked at all the faces, trying to find at least one face that didn't look at me that way, just one! But I didn't see any. And every one of them just kept staring at me. I couldn't stand it! I raised the knife and gauged everybody's eyes out and slit their throat. When I was done, blood was all over my hands and dead bodies littered the streets. I looked around and started crying, the reality of what I had just done washing over me. I didn't have the courage to stay there and face the consequences. So I ran. I ran as fast as I could, cursing everybody I see with every ounce of my being. And they all died. For no reason at all they'd just drop dead. I felt horrible, so I stayed on top of a cliff debating whether or not to kill myself.

But then Gaara came. He told me that he was there for me. So I decided to live. From then on, life wasn't the same. If I thought things were bad before because of our powers, it was nothing compared to the things I now have to endure. Everybody hated me now.

I should have been sentenced to life, but the jury was scared that I'll kill everybody if they dared to try to put me in jail. So now I have to live with those hateful glances every day. And sometimes I think that maybe it would've been better if I had gone to jail."

Sasuke didn't say anything. Other things he could forgive. But this massacre reminded him of his brother. And what his brother did was unforgivable.

Naruto got up, "I knew you'd hate me if I told you."

Sasuke remained silent.

Naruto sighed and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

TBC…

(1) I was going to make Sasuke apologize for making Naru-chan cry, but then I thought it was too OOC, so poor Naru-chan had to suffer a little longer.

Naruto sure has a dark past ne? Finally, things clear up! I just have to write a conclusion. Whew! Review everybody!
