Disclaimer: Bwa-ha! In the last chapter you met my muse, e.j. She belongs to me, but not Naruto. I'd trade her, but she's pretty much useless so phooey.

Warnings: Angst and the start of the Sasunaru FLUFF! Which is yaoi. BL. Boy's love. Shounen-ai or gay-guy action. Whatever. All flames will be happily accepted, mocked and not taken into serious account. If you think being gay is wrong, guess what? I'm a bisexual so double ha!

A/n Welcome back. A lot of people liked Sasuke fainting...strange...Also, the pairings decided by my so nice! reviewers are: TemaShika and GaarNeji. The other pairings are to be decided. The person who comes up with the weirdest pairings I will dedicate a one-shot of your choice featuring any of your favorite pairings! You can choose: Fluff, angst, drama. Basically, anything but lemons cause I can't write those...voting ends as soon as the fifth chapter comes out!

Sasuke had fainted when he heard from a reliable source, Hinata, that Naruto had been raped.

Sakura was buying half of the onigiri in the grocery store that Chouji's family owned to give to Sasuke. Naruto was thinking he was worthless because Kiba and Kakashi had told him that Sasuke hadn't visited.

There was a reason Team Seven had a large love triangle that managed to involve all of Konohagurake. Civilians, nins and even the people of foreign countries. After all, an angsty genius who looked like a model, a girl with pink hair, a porn reading ninja and a blond boy possessed by a giant murderous ball of fur weren't the type of people easily forgotten. Though some prayed every night to forget them...

Sasuke, being one of those oh-so-memorable ninjas mentioned above, was sitting in a hard plastic chair in a hallway with it's lights glaring, outside Naruto's room. He hadn't worked up the courage to enter yet and was blinking slowly, trying to think it over.

Naruto had been raped.

Naruto had been raped when he was young.

Naruto had been raped when he was young and the Kyuubi had repressed the memories of it ever happening. It wasn't too much for a ninja to take, blood after all was swallowed more by accident by a shinobi then water. (Which in after thought can't be that healthy)

But...what could you SAY to a crush who had been raped? "Oh, sorry about that. Wanna make it better by us hookin' up?"

Somehow, that didn't sound right.

Should he ignore it? No, if Naruto hated one thing it was being ignored, any one part of him. The boy was willing to talk about his fading crush on Sakura, how he felt Kakashi favored Naruto due to the Kyuubi killing the Yondaime and Sasuke being related to Uchiha Obito.

Sasuke let out a sigh. He was a Uchiha. A Uchiha went out to meet whatever he could, even if it meant certain death. True, insanity also ran genetically in the Uchiha line, but so did the pride and honor! So he had to face it by talking to Naruto. He went in the room.

Naruto smiled when he heard the door open. It was most likely Hinata and Ino, he loved seeing the cute couple. Even though their infamous fight about forcing Naruto become a sperm donor was most likely going to be cancelled due the gravity of the issue at hand it wouldn't be Ino-like to avoid a subject or treat him weirdly. Hell, she had told him on his birthday that he was a short shrimp who was a perfect uke and should start looking for a man.

Of course, at this time, Naruto was sixteen and thought he was straight. He would have not talked to Ino for a week, but then realized, thanks to Ino the next day, he was staring at Sasuke with a bit more er... 'Icha Icha' like idea in his head.

He had grudgingly thanked Ino for helping him figure out his sexuality. Damn women always having to be right... particulary women like Ino with their gay-dar and all...

Naruto smiled sadly. Would anyone besides Ino and Hinata treat him the same?

Out of his friends, most of them would. Shikamaru and Neji, they would treat him the same.

Temari was smart too, she'd treat him normally. No wonder Temari was chasing after Shikamaru. They were both too smart to be considered normal.

Out of his 'family' Iruka, his surrogate big brother, would baby him for a while, then get back to normal. Tsunade would act like a mother hen and have a panic-attack about him getting hurt and then she'd cry, calling him an idiot and bopping his head.

Gaara would be apathetic, as always. The only things that made him show any emotion was killing, or nowadays if you were unlucky (or lucky enough) to stumble on him molesting Neji. Even then, it'd be a jealous killing aura that would make any sane person cry and Neji get pissed at Gaara. Thus the reason most people knocked at ANY door.

The others would fret and bother Naruto, Naruto knew it, until Shikamaru or Neji (or Gaara under the pain of no sex) would most likely beat some sense into the offending person not treating Naruto the same.

Sasuke wouldn't care though. He wouldn't care. He had almost KILLED Naruto once, God knows why he didn't, Naruto thought.

It would have saved him a lot of pain...

"Sasuke..." Naruto let out a tender sigh. The pale boy, his hands raised to knock at the door stilled. Sasuke almost gave a smile, hearing his name on the boy's lips...

"Bastard..."

Sasuke could hear his heart break. It was always bastard. Never just Sasuke. Hell, at this point he would have dealed with 'Baka' so long as it didn't have a bastard attached.

Sasuke entered the sterile room. "Hn. Dobe." This was his act. He didn't care for Naruto, nope. The reason his heart was breaking wasn't because the one he loved so much had gotten hurt.

Nope. How could you think that?

"What do you want Sasuke-bastard...?" For the first time in his life Sasuke saw the Naruto that no one, not even Naruto himself had known existed. It was heart-breaking.

"Dobe. Don't act as if nothing happened." Sasuke saw Naruto clench his hands together. "Sakura told me what happened. Hinata gave me the details they know now. You talked to Tsunade about the bas-" Sasuke cut himself off. He wasn't going to put himself in the same category as THOSE people. "You talked to Tsunade-hime about the men who raped you?"

Naruto almost gave a smile. Even is Sasuke was going to be like this, cold and uncaring he'd at least talk to him. Why did he fall in love with this bastard again...?

Naruto suddenly froze as a pair of arms embraced him. "Dobe. Don't forget anything again. Tell me all about it. I'll be here."

Naruto let out a laugh. "Oh? Really. I never knew you chidori those you love? I must be so special." The blond let out a choked sob. "Well?.! DO YOU EVEN CARE BASTARD?.! STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH ME WHEN I GAVE UP EVERYTHING FOR YOU!"

Sasuke paled even more, looking drained. So. That's how Naruto truly felt? Then it wouldn't do much harm if he told Naruto the truth then.

"Hn. Dobe." Naruto let out another silent sob. "If I love you, that means I care."

Naruto felt his eyes widen as he turned to stare at the onyx eyed boy, standing defiant and proud.

Tsunade, the Godaime, the Fifth Hokage, the Legendary Sucker and one of the infamous Sannin, former student of Sarutobi, the Professor, the Sandaime, the Third Hokage had ink on her face, again. Today was different, as it wasn't Shizune who would start scolding her. Her newest apprentice, Hinata and Hinata's girlfriend, Ino walked in. Hinata let out a short bow while Ino raised her arm.

"Yo!" Ino let out a cheerful greeting, plooping herself on the corner of the desk. Tsunade rollled her eyes as Hinata silently cursed her weakness for blondes...

Ino and Hinata gave out a short mission report about a C-class mission given by the Fire Lady about her missing cat...again. But oh no! This time, the cat was PREGNANT so the freakin' woman had made the mission a C-class one.

Tsunade spoke again. "Hyuuga. Yamanaka. Any information on Suspect case 1643?"

The two kunoichi straightened into reporting mode. "1643 has admitted to being raped when younger. However, he claims his attackers died during the Sound-Sand attack. There is no reason to believe 1643 is lying. He says he wants his attackers family to remain innocent."

Hinata took a breath and started talking. "We suspect that 1643 will be harmed emotionally, as one could expect. However, he didn't show any signs of hostile acts, accepting visitors and allowing Hyuuga Hinata, medic nin and long-time friend as well as Rock Lee, taijustu specialist to touch him in a friendly manner. He, however flinched away at the touch of Sabaku no Gaara, but we believe it is because of the Kazekage's past behavior and Hyuuga Neji's possesive demeanor."

Tsunade thanked the gods that Naruto was going to pull it through. Hinata spoke up once again, silently offering her own opinion. "I-I think that...Uchiha-san is going to be the one thats gonna make it all better..."

Yamanka Ino wasn't called the 'Bouquet of Konoha' for nothing. The plant expert was quickly assembling a bouquet for a certain blond boy in the hospital.

"Anthericum, means antidote. Find one for me Hina-chan?" Hinata blushed and went to find the flower. Being a medic nin made her able to reconize certain plants quickly.

"Baby's Breathe, innocence. Bouvardia, it means enthiusasm." Ino paused from her arrangement.

"I can't think of a better flower for Naruto-kun, can you, love?" Hinata shook her head and handed Ino the flowers.

Ino bit her lip. "Something's missing..."

Hinata shyly spoke up, offering a bundle of flowers to Ino. "Ho-how about these...Fleur De Lis...?" Ino thoughtfully looked at the flowers, considering carefully.

"Fire? Then we gotta get a shadow, Hina-chan." (1)

The two girls let out a quick smile and set out for the hospital, an antidote, innocence, enthiusasm and fire in their hands.

Doesn't matter if I'm lonely or not

After all,

I'm perfect

So this noise can't be my heart breaking

A/N Well, I know I said there would be fluff, but hey, a confession is as fluffy as it gets with me. Deal. I decided that a poem that reflects a character would be used, all made by me! I don't honestly care if you read these poems or not, they're just things I made that I have no where else to put 'em. As always, read and review to be nice and sweet. And dedications? To lunabasketcase, as always. And thanks to Arista K. for helping me find a word rhyming with 'be' as since I can't talk, I can't rhyme...And Lolita, doll, even I know that NO words rhyme with orange!

(1) Fire shadow- Means hokage, such as kazekage translates into Wind Shadow.
