Chapter 8
Gone Today Back Tomorrow
Naruto's P.O.V.
I awoke to feel the warmth of another body pressed against mine, I looked over to see Sasuke once again and I snuggled closer to his warmth. A stared at him for a while in till I saw his eyes slowly opened to gaze into mine as he smiled down at me.
"Hey how long have you been awake"
"Not long" I said as I snuggled even more closely to the source of his warmth and took a deep breath taking in his wonderful scent.
"Naruto I have to get ready to go now"
I looked up at him with a pout but only to have him smile and lean down to capture my lips with his. He pulled away and gave me a smirk before getting up and headed towards to bathroom. I wonder if Sasuke will be okay I don't want him to leave me alone if anything is to happen to him, I don't know what I would do if I lost him. Oh I know I would be put back into the nuthouse since there would be no one else willing to take me and I would die going back to that place again. When I looked to the bathroom door Sasuke was walking out in just a towel around his waist and went over to the dresser to pull out some clothes. He looked over to me with one of his usual smirks.
"Are you just going to lay there and watch me get dressed?"
"Maybe" I said with a teasing tone and I playful smile forming on my lips.
"You're hopeless you know"
"I know"
He walked over to the bed placing his clothes next to me letting the towel slide down to the floor leaving me gasping at his sudden beautiful, sexy body in front of me. My eyes went up and down his body and he looked over at me and smirked once again.
"Is my body that fascinating to you?" he said pulling up his boxers and shorts, and his shirt only to have me whimper at the loss of his body.
"Well are you coming to see me off I've got to go"
"Yeah of course!" I said jumping out of bed pulling Sasuke downstairs and out the door towards Konoha's front gates. When we got there we were still hand in hand and Sasuke turned to me and smiled pulling me for a quick kiss.
"I'll miss you" I said against his lips.
He pulled away and brought me into a hug and I felt a tear fall down my cheek.
"I'll be back in a week I promise nothing will happen to me. I'll be okay just try not to worry to much I've got Kakashi-sensei coming by the house every day to check on you so nothing will happen to you"
"Okay"
He smiled one last smile at me before turning around walking through the gates and down the road. I stayed there and watched as he left in till I could no longer see him. I walked back to the house feeling alone in the big empty house. I wonder how Sasuke ever managed to live here without going insane all these years it's such a big house. I went to the bedroom and laid down in silence in till finally falling asleep.
I awoke to a loud banging at the front door and quickly got up and went downstairs slowly making my way to the door. I wonder who would come over in the middle of the night like this, I was sleeping and not having nightmares tonight it was peaceful. I looked at the clock and saw it was 2:00 a.m. in the morning. I heard another loud bang at the door and sighed walking closer to the door. I came to the door and opened it slowly looking out to see who it was. When I saw who it was my whole body froze and my face turned pale as if I had seen a ghost, I couldn't do anything but stare with fear and shock. Memories flooded my head about three years ago and no one is here to save me once again.
( one week later)
Sasuke's P.O.V.
I walked down the street towards the gate, as I got closer I could see Sakura, Kakashi-sensei and...wait where's Naruto? He knew I would be coming home today and I doubt he would want to miss it or maybe he's still asleep. But no he wouldn't still be asleep knowing I'm coming home he doesn't like to stay alone. I walked through the gates only to have Sakura run up to me and cling to my arm.
"Oh Sasuke-kun your back we all really missed you while you were gone."
I looked down at her and growled at her, she knew she shouldn't have clung to me so she let go and backed away from me.
"Where's Naruto?"
"He hasn't been out of the house since you left and he won't let anyone in, he's locked all the doors and windows. I would have just gone in but there is some type of jutsu preventing me from doing so, we just left him alone in till you got here maybe you can get in there."
I nodded and took off towards the house, I had to see what was wrong with him. I know he doesn't like being alone so why would he lock himself up I told him Kakashi-sensei would be coming over, I hope he's okay in there. I walked up to the door and pulled out my spar key and unlocked the door and walked in and listen but I didn't hear anything. I walked up he stairs and headed towards Naruto's room. I opened the door and walked in and I gasped at the sight in font of me. His bed was covered in blood and chains were on the bed also covered in blood.
"Naruto are you in here?"
There came no response and searched the room but found nothing so I walked out ad went into my room. I walked around the room but there seemed to be no sight of him anywhere.
"Naruto"
There was a soft whine and knock that cam from the closet. I walked over to it and slowly opened the closet door and my eyes widened with shock form what I saw. Naruto was lying on the floor covered in dried blood and his arms were chained along with his feet so he couldn't move, his ankles and wrist were turning purple from the pressure of the chains. I quickly reached down and picked him up and ran into the bathroom. When I put him down and took off his chains and that's when his eyes shot open and he curled into a ball and started sobbing. I grabbed a towel and put it around him as best I could trying to calm him down. Once he calmed down some I pulled him into my lap while I grabbed a warm rag and gently wiped his face getting rid of the tears and blood that stained his face. I pulled him out of my lap and filled the tub with warm water and reached over and picked him up and slowly put him into the water. But when his body made it into the water he winced in pain and clung to my shirt.
"It's okay the pain will go away just calm down and relax you'll get used to it and you do have to get cleaned up."
He slowly let go, letting the rest of his body into the warm water and lowered his head not wanting t look at me. I sighed and grabbed the shampoo, putting some in my hand and started working it into his blood stained blonde hair. Once it was worked in I carefully rinsed out his hair and worked in some conditioner and rinsed that out. Once his hair was clean I gave him a rag with soap and let him wash his body himself. Once he was down I helped him out of the tub and drained the tub of the bloody water. I handed him a towel and we walked back into my room and I walked over to the dresser and looked through the drawers and finally found a shirt and sweatpants small enough to fit him. I turned around and he was sitting on the bed with the towel tightly around him shivering as I came up to him.
"Here's some clothes that should fit you."
"Thanks" he mumbled as he took the clothes and I walked out of the room and down to the kitchen. I'm sure he's hungry probably hasn't eaten all week, that's probably why he seems like just skin and bones when I found him and he was so light when I carried him. I took the ramen from the pot and poured it into a bowl and headed back to the room. Naruto was sitting on the bed fully dressed and looked up at me and I could tell that he and been crying while I was gone. I just sighed and walked back over to him and handed him the food.
"Here I'm sure you're hungry"
He took the bowl and slowly started eating as I sat next to him and watched him eat his food. Once he finished I took the bowl and sat it on the bedside table and turned back to him.
"Sasuke...why are you being so nice to me."
"Naruto I care about you and you deserve to be treated better than the way some people treat you it's not right...do you know who did this?"
"It was the same people as last time but I don't know who they are."
"Well we're going to need to inform Tsunade about this you know so she can start looking for the people who did this"
"It's not like it matters she probably won't take that much time to look for them it's not like she cares. That's why I didn't say anything last time this happened, didn't think anyone would care."
Tears started coming down his face as he pulled his legs close to his chest and put his head down. I wrapped my arms around him pulling him close to me as he cried in my arms.
"I'm sorry you didn't think anyone cared for you but Tsunade does care and I also care for you."
His crying slowly stopped and I pulled us both up onto the bed more and pulled up the covers on both of us. He snuggled close to me and slowly closed his eyes.
"I love you Naruto"
"I love you too Sasuke"
I leaned down and placed a small kiss on his forehead before closing my eyes and falling asleep.
