1Chapter 4
"Naruto," Sasuke said as they sat in the living room.
"Yeah," Naruto answered.
"Riko said you say my name while your sleeping." Blushing the blonde looked away.
"I don't know what she's talking about," Naruto said staring at his feet feeling extremely nervous.
"Really? Well, I think you do." The younger Uchiha was soon in front of him and tilting the blonde's chin up. "I think you know exactly what she's talking about." Then all conversation was ceased as the black haired boy pressed his lips to Naruto's. Returning the kiss Naruto wrapped his hands around Sasuke's neck pulling them closer. Shifting, Sasuke managed to get the blonde in his lap with his legs wrapped around the black eyed boy's waist straddling him. Sasuke began nibbling on Naruto's lips and the blonde moaned giving him a chance to deepen the kiss. The kiss soon became hungry and the boys couldn't' get enough of each other, and just as Sasuke had started to unbutton Naruto's shirt they were interrupted.
"That's hot," Came Riko's voice as she walked into the room with Itachi. "But shouldn't you guys be doing that in a private place?" Naruto quickly jumped out of the Uchiha's lap and ran out the door blushing.
"Sasuke, you better not hurt him." The younger Uchiha looked at his brother with slight confusion on his face.
"Why would you care?"
"I don't feel that it's worth saying." What the brothers didn't know was that a certain blonde was right outside the door and had heard the whole thing.
---------------------------------------------------------
Naruto sat in his room crying, feeling betrayed. He started to wonder if anyone really cared about him. The Uchiha brothers made it sound like he was merchandise. Naruto looked over and saw the computer. I hope Riko doesn't mind, but I think I am going to try to write some poetry, since she says it makes her feel better. Walking over to the computer he turned it on and waited as it loaded. His fingers danced across the keyboard forming words and sentences.
Your lies are killing them
the innocent
the tears are starting again
they know it's the end
The pain increases as the day ends,
and the night begins.
The crimson blood is flowing,
They're fading away slowly.
Can you see them begging for their lives,
The bodies now lifeless.
How could you smile as you watched them die inside.
The guilt is slowly rising,
inside your heart.
Your finally realizing,
that you're the one that's crying.
You're the child that's dying.
Naruto stared at the poem he had just written feeling less angry then he had before. Staring at the keyboard in front of him Naruto realized how much he enjoyed writing. Looking down at his hands he began writing another one.
In our world,
nothing's as it seems
there is no such thing as a happy family.
What we have isn't good enough
We always want more.
Because in this world.
Love is always ends in tragedy.
With all those superficial people.
Making true love a mockery.
Those smiles and sweet lies,
People like that are empty inside.
Laughing as I cry.
Hating who I love.
Judging me based on looks alone.
Who would have ever guessed.
That humanity would end up like this.
But at last I know.
It doesn't matter what they think.
I've given up on society,
Because society has given up on me.
I don't care what they say.
My life will go on anyway.
In this picture perfect world.
Nothing's as it seems.
In this superficial world.
Love's an empty thing.
In this lonely world.
Everybody hates me.
"Naruto?" Came the voice of Riko from beside him. "You write really good poetry."
"Thanks Riko," He pulled the small girl into a hug.
"Do you want to do to the park with me? I know your mad at Itachi and Sasuke, but your probably just misunderstanding what they mean. When your not so angry you should go talk to them and sort it all out."
"Okay. Let's go to the park," Naruto said as he stood still holding the girl.
"Yay!"
-----------------------------------------------
"Higher!" Shrieked the Riko as Naruto pushed her on the swings. "Higher!" Naruto looked at the angle Riko was at every time she went up. She was almost parallel with the swing set and Naruto was not going to risk injuring his little sister.
"No," Naruto said stepping back while Riko pouted as the swing slowed down.
"Aww, but I wasn't even going that high Aniki."
"Riko, you were almost parallel with the swing set." For once the girl was silent as she thought back to how high she had actually been going.
"Oh..." She stopped herself using her feet and ran towards Naruto. "Tag, your it!" Naruto smiled as he chased Riko around the park. I wish I could be as carefree as her.
The park was very large and had three separate sections. The first one was an open field with well kept grass for people who wanted to have picnics or play sports. Another section was the play structure, that was more like castle. Bridges connected the different parts of the areas, like the swings to the jungle gym. The last section were the tennis and basketball courts. Riko was hiding in a maze of ladders and tire structures, that were difficult for the older boy to climb through. Giggling the girl easily slid through the bars as the blonde struggled through them.
"Riko, don't you think this is a little unfair?"
"It's not my fault your too fat to fit through the bars!"
"I am not fat!"
"Liar! I can see it showing around the waist." Both stopped and looked at each other breaking into laughter.
"Riko, you don't act your age."
"Neither do you." Riko said climbing to the top of the highest ladder. "You started crying when your ramen spilt last week."
"Yeah, well I wasn't mistook for a 21 year-old midget," Naruto said as he grew closer to the girl.
"Shut up! It's not funny, I am not a midget!"
"Sure, shortie." Growling Riko jumped down onto her brother.
"You want to say that to my face?" Her eyes were narrowed in a glare and red was swirling in them. Nervously Naruto shook his head. "Whahaha. I am the all powerful evil dictator of the world!" Riko shouted before giggling madly. I guess being crazy runs in the family. He reached out and tapped Riko's arm.
"Tag your it," Smiling Naruto leaped from the structure landing on all fours on the ground. "Catch me if you can." He immediately began running to the park's exit. He heard Riko hit the ground as she jumped and her begin to run. The chase was on.
Sprinting down the sidewalk Naruto dodged people, animals, poles, and buildings. Riko was slowly gaining on him and the only way they would get home before Itachi was forced to come and drag his cousin home was have her chase him there. Turning onto the street the mansion was on Naruto glanced back to see Riko only 20 feet away from him. Naruto willed his legs to speed up as he reached for the mansion.
"I'm going to get you," Whispered Riko as she began to run faster towards the blonde. He was right in front of the mansion and reaching for the knob when he was knocked over by a sudden weight on his back.
"Ow," Naruto said standing up and opening the door.
"I win!" They both walked in but were stopped at the sight before them.
-----------------------------------------------------------
that's it
just kidding
---------------------------------------------------------------
The two guys Naruto had met the when he first came to live with the Uchiha brothers, were making out in the hallway. Riko pulled out her cell phone and began to take pictures as Naruto got a nosebleed.
"Riko stop taking pictures!"
"What! No way this is to hot! Besides you know you like it and it turns you on," winking she began taking pictures once more as Naruto's face turned the same shade of red as Gaara's hair. He grabbed Riko's shirts color and dragged her away from the couple. "Noooooo!" Both men then looked up and smirked.
"You like what you see?" Questioned Neji.
"Hecks yes!" Riko yelled.
"Your welcome to come to our room and watch tonight," Winking, Neji went back biting Gaara's neck.
Naruto ran down the hallway pulling Riko with him as she struggled to break free.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Walking into the room they saw Sasuke sitting at the computer reading something.
"What are you reading?" Naruto and Riko asked at the same time.
"The new poems you wrote," Sasuke said not even looking up from the screen.
"I didn't write those Naruto did." Hearing this Sasuke looked up from the screen at the blonde.
"You wrote these?"
"Yeah, they're bad aren't they," Naruto said his voice a little sad.
"No they are good. Almost as good as mine."
"Really? I just sort of sat down and started typing without thinking." Then Naruto remembered that he had been mad at the Uchiha and frowned. "Sasuke how do you really feel about me?"
"Well, I think I'll go now," Riko said walking out of the room.
"You're an idiot that loves ramen. Your loud and obnoxious, but your also the only person I trust completely." Sasuke said not looking at the blonde. He doesn't love me, but I guess I can live with him just trusting me over everyone else. Faking a smile Naruto said.
"Good, because your stuck with me Sasuke-teme!" Naruto laughed as walked out of the room to go find Itachi.
---------------------------------------------------------
Naruto found the older man in the library. He smiled as Naruto walked up to him.
"Hello Naru-chan." Naruto blushed at the embarrassing nickname Itachi had given him.
"Hi, Itachi. Can I talk to you?" He said somewhat shyly not looking up at the older man.
"Sure, but we need to keep it short. You have school tomorrow and it's already 10."
"How can you tell when your in love with someone?" Not expecting that question from the blonde his eyes widened.
"Why?"
"Umm, I'm trying to figure out my feelings for a certain person," Naruto said suddenly finding the floor interesting.
"Oh I see. Is it someone I know?" Itachi said with a straight face but inwardly was smirking.
"Maybe."
"Okay then, well how do you feel when your with them?"
"I feel really happy, but I also feel like they are keeping something from me. It's like they are lying to me about something and I just haven't noticed it yet. Sometimes they tease me and I'm not sure if they really like me at all. I just want to feel loved." Naruto said sitting down next to the Uchiha. Hearing the sadness in the blonde's voice, Itachi pulled him into a hug.
"You are loved Naruto."
"Wha-? Itachi, do you love me?" Itachi just let go of the boy and said.
"We'll talk about this later, you should go to bed now." Nodding slowly Naruto stood and walked back to his room. I wished he would have told me. Now I'm not going to be able to sleep, I'll be thinking about it all night!
-----------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Sasuke was brooding in his room. He couldn't help but feel really hurt at the sad look the blonde had on his face before he left to go see Itachi. He stared at the ceiling wondering if he should go talk to Naruto when he heard a loud moan. Standing he waited for it to sound again, and he walked out into the hallway and to the room next to his. Opening the door he got a massive nosebleed and slammed the door shut. Why is Riko in there watching them do THAT!...Although I have to admit that was really hot.
Walking back into his room he tried to sleep, but couldn't get the image of Neji and Gaara having sex out of his head.
-----------------------------------------------------
Fifth Class - Study Hall
Naruto sat in the corner of the room and began working on his Advanced Algebra 2 homework that he hadn't finished. Haiku was sitting beside him writing " I heart Zaibatsu " all over his spiral notebook. Haiku looked up at his usually noisy friend and felt concerned, for the blonde was absolutely silent. Ripping out a piece of paper from his spiral he wrote something before passing it to Naruto.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Naruto you better tell me what happened right now!
Sasuke said he trusted me, but I don't think he loves me.
A.w., don't worry. Maybe he doesn't really know how he feels just yet.
True, but Itachi might love me...
What! Both of the brothers like you!
I'm not really sure, neither have really admitted to it.
Why don't you just ask Riko to find out? The brothers tell her everything.
Your right! Haiku I love you!
I'm sorry Naruto I just feel the same about you, I love Zaibatsu. lol
That reminds me how did lunch with Zaibatsu go yesterday?
Well we talked about stuff for awhile and he even said he had always thought I was beautiful.
OO...It's hard for me to imagine Zabuza-sensei saying stuff like that.
You just don't understand him. He really is a very caring person once you get to know him.
Suuuure he is. OMG you guys had sex didn't you?
No!...I wish...anyway he asked me over to his house Saturday and I said yes.
Aw, that's no fun. You better tell me everything that happens!
Duh! You're my best friend, of course I'll tell you!
Wait, what are you going to wear?
OMG! I HADN'T EVEN THOUGHT OF THAT! CAN YOU COME OVER AFTER SCHOOL SO WE CAN GO TO THE MALL AND BUY SOMETHING?
Yeah, but Haiku it's only Tuesday you have until Saturday to find an outfit.
Naruto you do not understand how important Saturday is to me do you?
Fine, fine if you must find your outfit now I'll go with you.
Thanks so much Naruto.
Then the two worked in silence for the rest of the period.
-----------------------------------------------------
Sixth Class - Social Studies
Haku and Naruto walked to there next class together which was taught by Zabuza. Taking their seats in the second row on the left side they started talking about which stores to got to when a shadow fell over them.
"Naruto, stay away from Sasuke he's not gay like you!" Sakura said angrily.
"Yeah. You're just annoying him," agreed the blonde named Ino.
"I think you two are just jealous that Sasuke likes Naruto more then you guys and that Naruto is cuter then you." Haiku said glaring at the two girls.
"We're not jealous of that monster!" Both girls yelled at the same time. All three of them had gone to the same elementary school, so the girls knew of Naruto's past.
"He was called the killer kindergartner," Sakura began.
"Because he had almost beaten a kid to death with a pipe when they made fun of him for not having a mother!" Ino finished.
"Well at least he didn't go cry to the teacher because they said something mean like you would have done." Haiku said.
"He's a freak! That kid almost died!" Sakura screamed.
"Well he's not dead so I don't see what the big deal is!" Haiku yelled back.
"That kid could have been me or you! Aren't you worried you might say something and he'll flip out and attack you?" Sakura said.
"I'll just have to deal with it, because it would be my fault for saying anything to begin with!"
"How can you care about a monster like him!" Sakura said.
"Naruto is my friend and I love him for who he is! So back off you bitch!"
"What did you just call me?" Sakura said walking right up to Haiku.
"You heard me I said back off bitch!" Haiku said as he stood up.
"You bastard!" Sakura said as she slapped Haiku. Haiku held his stinging cheek for a second before punching Sakura in the gut.
"What the fuck is wrong with you, you whore!" Haiku yelled as he kicked Sakura who was clutching her stomach on the floor. One thing you should never do is try to mark Haku's face. That is the one thing he can't stand. Standing up slowly and shaking from pain Sakura managed to get off the floor.
"What is wrong with me? What's wrong with you, you gay cross-dressing slut!" Sakura just happened to take karate and kneed Haiku in the stomach. Groaning from pain Haiku grabbed his Social Studies book and started beating Sakura over the head with it.
"I may be a gay cross-dresser, but I-am-not-a-slut-like-you!" He said hitting her once for each of the last words he said. Sakura fought back by biting Haku's hand. "Ow."
"What's going on here!" Yelled Zaibatsu as he entered the room. From what he could see Naruto was having an emotional break down rocking back and forth in fetal position, Haiku and Sakura were attacking each other, half the class was cheering them on, a fourth was sleeping, and the rest were screaming for Haiku and Sakura to stop fighting. Everyone soon started yelling what was happening.
"Haiku and Sakura are fighting!"
"Haku's gay!"
"Sakura is a whore!"
"Naruto is crying and no one is helping him!"
"Sasuke is gay!" At this several girls started crying while others cheered loving the thought of yaoi.
"Naruto almost killed a guy when he was in kindergarten!"
"He used a pipe!"
"All of you shut up!" The class was silent. "You," he said pointing to a girl in the back who had a video camera. "Do you have the whole thing on tape?"
"Hecks yes! I am so entering this into a film contest!"
"Let me watch that tape."
"Sure," the girl said walking up to Zaibatsu and starting the video for him. He watched the whole thing and when it was done just stood there. The room was completely silent as they waited for their teacher's reaction and what they got was not what they expected. Zaibatsu started laughing like a madman.
"You mean to tell me that you two girls," He began pointing to Ino and Sakura. "Started this whole fight because you were jealous of Uzumaki."
"No we-"
"Silence!" Zaibatsu said cutting them off. "You two are getting detention after school for a week. Haiku I'll let you off with a warning because you've never caused problems before, but next time you'll have detention as well."
"Yes sensei."
Haku calmed Naruto down and class started. Zabuza had the whole class read a chapter from their books and answers the questions at the end of the section for what was left of the class period.
--------------------------------------------
Seventh Class - Science
Naruto didn't like this class, not only because he didn't have any friends in it, but the teacher, Orochimaru, scared him. Orochimaru also liked to pick on Naruto and tease him. This period always seemed to last longer then the others because of this. Today, they had to get a partner and do a lab, but there was an odd number so Naruto had to work with Orochimaru.
"Naruto, why are you so tense you should relax," The snake man whispered in his ear.
"I am just having a really stressful day sensei."
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Naruto felt something rub his upper thigh and he looked down to see his sensei's hand.
"You could get your hand off me, you perverted pedophile!" Naruto hadn't meant to yell that but he did and the whole class looked over.
"I was just brushing a bug off your leg, Uzumaki-kun no need to blow it out of proportion." The just giggled and went back to their work. Naruto groaned and scooted his chair farther from the man. He leapt out of his seat as soon as the bell rang and ran to lunch.
-------------------------------------------
Lunch
Naruto sat down next to Haiku, who was strangely silent.
"Haiku are you okay?"
"No! That bitch made me look bad in front of Zabuza-san! He'll probably cancel Saturday, because he thinks I'm a freak!" Haiku dramatically had his head fall onto his arms.
"I think Zaibatsu liked the fact that you fought back."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you were to embarrassed to look at him the rest of the period, but he kept looking up and smiling at you."
"Really?"
"Yes really! Why do you think I would lie to you about something like that?"
"No, I'm just suprised." Haiku said blushing and looking down at his food. "I never dreamed that Zaibatsu would like me too."
"You're so lucky Haiku! I wish I knew who loved me."
"Don't worry, soon you'll find them and we'll both be happy!"
-------------------------------------------------------
Eighth Class - Algebra
Sasuke, Naruto, Haiku, and Gaara all had this class together and sat together. Nothing really happened though, Haiku daydreamed about Zaibatsu, Gaara stabbed his Algebra book with his pencil, Sasuke teased Naruto and Naruto tried to do the work but was to distracted by Sasuke.
-------------------------------------------------------
Wow this is really long. Next time is Haiku and Naruto's trip to the mall and someone confesses their love!
