Chapter: 4

Gaara gave Sasuke a blank expression when the door opened. Sasuke looked at him obviously shocked. "What do you want?" Sasuke asked. "I was wondering if you can show me where Naruto lives" he asked with a blank expression. "What?" Sasuke asked on the defensive. "Where does Naruto live?" Gaara said repeating himself. "Why? What are you" Gaara raised a finger to silence the Uchiha. "Today is his birthday, yes?" Gaara asked. "Y-yes, how did you know!" Sasuke asked trying to hide his shock. "He told me" the other said blankly. Sasuke looked at Gaara in complete disbelief. "H-he told you huh..." Sasuke said mumbling off to himself. "I want to give him a present; I tried to before but..." Gaara trailed off. Sasuke extended his hand. "I'll give it to him for you for him" he said. Gaara took a step back. "But I want to give it to him myself" he said quietly not looking at Sasuke. "No!" Sasuke thought out loud. Gaara gave him a death glare and gritted his teeth. "BASTARD!" Gaara spat and walked of angrily. Sasuke slammed the door shut and ran back up to his room…he couldn't believe himself. He couldn't understand what he was feeling. Was he jealous? Sasuke sat on his bed pondering. "No, I couldn't be jealous of Gaara being around Naruto...no" he said to himself. He closed his eyes and flopped down on his bed. "You are jealous" said a little voice in his head. Sasuke shook his head with his eyes still closed. "You don't want anyone else to get as close to Naruto as you have…" continued the voice. Sasuke's eyes shot open and he sat up suddenly. Was this true? "But why?" he asked himself. "Maybe you love him." Sasuke shook his head. Having this inner conversation with himself started to get weird so he got up and went out for a little walk.

Several days passed school went on normally. But something was wrong, Naruto wasn't found in school at all. Sasuke went all his classes to get his homework and ask why Naruto wasn't in. But none of his teacher had an idea. Sasuke finally gave up his unknown grudge to Gaara and decided to ask if he had seen Naruto around. Before English he went over to Gaara's desk and left a note. Then went back to his seat before the bell rang. Gaara arrived in class and found the note on his desk He dropped his books and read the note which said: I know I've been a bastard and all, and...yeah…I was wondering if you knew why Naruto hasn't been in school.

-Uchiha Sasuke

Gaara folded the note and put it in his binder. He himself wrote a note to reply to Sasuke's. After English Gaara stopped Sasuke without a word and gave him the note, then walked away. Sasuke read the note which only said: I haven't seen Naruto for awhile, sorry I can't help you.

Sasuke crumpled up the note and threw it away. "I'll stop by his house after school then" Sasuke thought and went off to his next class. As the day passed Sasuke could not concentrate on his studies, he was so worried about Naruto. "Is he sick, is he just skipping... what!" he thought to himself during class. "UCHIHA" yelled his math teacher. Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts and looked up at the teacher. "Is whatever you're thinking about more important than this lesson!" asked the teacher. Sasuke looked at him annoyed. "Yes, there is!" Sasuke said. He picked up his stuff and left the class. Other class members began mumbling and worrying. The teacher settled them down and continued the class.

Sasuke put his books in his locker and headed off to leave the school, when he was stopped by the hall monitors. "Stop, where's your pass?" one the monitor asked. "SHIT, I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS!" Sasuke yelled angrily pushing past them. He walked out of the school and went straight to Naruto's house. When he got there he knocked on the door, and found there was no answer. He then banged on the door, "NARUTO, OPEN UP GODDAMMIT!" he yelled. Finally he heard some stumbling, and then the door slowly opened. Sasuke pushed passed it a found Naruto a mess. "N-Naruto…wh...what happened? Are you alright?" Sasuke asked and he grabbed the other wrists. Naruto winched back in pain, Sasuke then found that Naruto had cuts all over his arms and that there were fresh open cuts. "Naruto, what the hell!" Sasuke asked. "It's n-nothing," Naruto said. He slumped down to the floor and sobbed. "Naruto, tell me what's wrong?" Sasuke said in a soothing voice, he rubbed Naruto's back to calm him down, but Naruto winched at his touch. "D-don't touch me" Naruto said. "Then, tell me…" "I DON'T WANT TO!" Naruto yelled. "Why not?" Sasuke asked keeping his calm exterior. "BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T FUCKING UNDERSTAND!" Naruto cried. "LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!" Sasuke looked at Naruto. On the outside he looked calm. But on the inside Sasuke was hurt badly b those words, he didn't want to leave his grieving friend alone, he didn't like to see him hurt himself. "Naruto, I don't want to leave" Sasuke finally said after a long silence. Naruto looked at him with empty eyes. Naruto then held up his wrists to Sasuke. "Look, I-I just wanted to forget that it I was ever born...and..." "Sssh, first let's get you cleaned up", Sasuke said. He hoisted the littler one up and carried him to the bathroom. "S-Sasuke…I can walk!" Naruto protested. "I know…" Sasuke said and sat Naruto down next to the bathroom door. "You need to wash….." Sasuke said. He rolled up his sleeves and ran some bath water. "Have you eaten anything?" Sasuke asked while waiting for the tub to fill up with water. Naruto hesitantly shook his head, afraid of Sasuke's reaction. "WHAT? HOW LONG HAVEN'T YU NOT EATEN!" Sasuke yelled. "f-five days..." Naruto said... Sasuke looked at him, and shook his head. "Naruto…" He turned off the faucet and walked over to Naruto. "You take a bath while I cook you something, o.k.?" Sasuke asked. Naruto shook his head obediently. As Naruto was bathing, Sasuke looked through Naruto's cupboards. Noting but ramen. He sighed. "This guy needs some real food!" Sasuke aid and quickly went to the store having about 20 dollars left in his pocket.

Naruto finished his bath and put on cleaned clothes. He sighed tiredly. He then called on Sasuke and found no answer. He went to the kitchen and found his cupboard open. He laughed embarrassed. "He must of saw the low supply of food and went to eh store" Naruto thought. He sat down on his bed and thought to himself. He had been depressed for the past week and he didn't know why…he didn't want to move from his bed or anything. "Then Sasuke…came...he worried..." Naruto said to himself. Naruto then heard the door open and jumped out of his deep thinking. "S-Sasuke?" Naruto asked. Sasuke came in and shut the door. "What, dobe?" Sasuke asked carrying the two grocery bags to the kitchen table. "W-why'd you come by?" Naruto asked hesitantly. Sasuke sighed and looked at Naruto. I was worried about you, you hadn't come to school in a week" Sasuke explained. "S-so desu ka" Naruto said. He sat back down on the bed. "Why? Why'd u ask?" Sasuke went over to sit next to Naruto. "I-I didn't think anyone would notice, haha" Naruto laughed sheepishly. Sasuke smacked him across the head. "I-itai! what was that for!" Naruto yelled rubbing his head. "Don't think like that dobe, EVER!" Sasuke said and went to fix dinner. Naruto watched Sasuke as he preceded to fix their dinner. He smiled. "Temei" Naruto said under his breath. "U got something to say to me?" Sasuke asked raising an n eyebrow and smirking. Naruto nodded his head no and flopped down on his bed. He closed his eyes and let the newly found aroma fill his senses. It all smelled so good. "Oi, Dobe…it's done" Sasuke said after 45 min. Naruto shot up and tackled Sasuke with a hug. "Arigatou gozaimasu, Sasuke-kun" Naruto said. Sasuke pushed Naruto off him his face turning bright red. "L-let's eat all ready" He said and had two plates filled with food already on the table. Naruto looked at it and practically drooled uncontrollably. "I didn't have much money so all I could make was some sire fried rice and…" before Sasuke could finish his sentence Naruto was already was digging in. "Mm...Sasuke this is really good!" Naruto said with his mouth full. Sasuke smiled he was glad Naruto liked the food. It was better than eating ramen 24/7. They ate their meal in silence with the exception of Naruto munching or making sounds while eating. After dinner Sasuke cleared their plates. "gochi so sama!" Naruto said. Sasuke put the plates in the sink. "I have your week's homework" Sasuke said walking to where he dropped his book bag earlier He got out some books and a folder with all the assignments. "Aww...I don't wanna!" Naruto groaned. Sasuke looked at Naruto seriously. "I don't want to se anymore cuts on your arm" Sasuke said sternly. "Humph, you're not my mother!" Naruto said. "Then fine, cut yourself, as a matter of fact why don't u cut your own fucking throat!" Sasuke yelled. Naruto gave him a shock look. "S-Sasuke I was joking" Naruto said. He then looked at Sasuke and saw that their were tears forming in his eyes. "D-don't joke like that Naruto." Sasuke said wiping away is fallen tears. He walked over to Naruto and hugged him. "I don't like to see you hurt" Sasuke whispered. Naruto just stood there shocked out of his mind. "Was this the Ice cold Uchiha Sasuke?" "Did he just shed tears in front of him?" Sasuke tightened his hug on Naruto and snapped the other out of his thoughts. "Naruto hugged back. /"I'm sorry I scared you Sasuke, I'll try not to do that again" He said. "Promise NEVER to do it again" Sasuke said. Naruto shook his head. "B-but, I get uncontrollably depressed sometimes and can't…" He stopped when he had felt a punch to the jaw. He was taken by surprised and just stood there letting the throbbing pain sink in. Sasuke looked at Naruto angrily. "You fucking bastard you have no idea how precious life is do you!" Sasuke yelled. Naruto was silent. "Then Fucking kill yourself I don't care!" Sasuke said and left slamming the door behind him. Naruto stood there still silent. What just happened? Was it his fault? What did he say?

Tsuara: well, I know this is kinda confusing but it'll all add up soon!

Hope you enjoyed it!
