Sorry it's late again guys. I've been trying to figure out how to lead up to . . . Well, you'll find out (^3^) Anyways, on with the story! . . .
Chapter 9
I woke up in the middle of night, sweating from a nightmare. I reach over to Naruto for some comfort only to find that he wasn't there. That baka needs to stop disappearing at night. I tut as I get out of bed and search for Naruto.
-B. R. E. A. K.-
I eventually found him asleep on the sofa with papers scattered around him. A quick glance at a familiar symbol told me what the idiot was researching. I didn't want to think about yesterday's incident so I quickly pushed the thought out of my mind. I lightly nudge Naruto's shoulder and he released a small mumble, drool running down his chin.
"How attractive . . ." I say quietly as I nudge him again, "Oi Dobe, you'll catch a cold if you sleep out here"
"Sasuke . . ." He replied, still half asleep, "What time is it?"
"4 O'Clock" I answer, "Come back to bed with me"
"But I have to fi-"
"That can wait. Just come and get some rest, ok?" I ask but he still looked skeptical, "I'm not going anyway so I'm perfectly safe, especially if Kyuubi is with me"
Naruto finally, but reluctantly, gave in. We both went back into the bedroom and I was eventually able to fall back to sleep with Naruto's arm around me, his soft even breathing almost like a lullaby.

Naruto's P.O.V
A loud ring from my phone pulled me from my sleep and I quickly answered before it woke Sasuke up. He's the one who needs his rest, not just for the baby but for himself too.
"Hello" I answer as I rub my eyes,
"Naruto," answered a familiar voice but I couldn't quite figure out who, it was too staticky. I halted as I realise that this could be the person who wants the baby gone,
"What?" I say through gritted teeth. Rage was slowly beginning to pulse around my body, the urge to shout almost becoming unbearable,
"Now, now" mocked the static voice, "Are you sure you should to speak to me like that?"
I held the phone away for a moment as I took a deep breath to calm myself down,
"Can I help you?" I ask with a bit more politeness but a sneer was plastered on my face,
"I'd wipe away that facial expression if I was you"
Shock suddenly replaced my sneer. They can see me? I immediately stood up and looked around,
"Where the fuck are you?" I growl into receiver, my grip on the device becoming stronger,
"You can look all you want," they giggled. Female? "But you'll never find me"
"What do you want?" I ask again, I see Sasuke stir in the bed and I realise that raised my voice too much,
"I need you . . . No . . . I want you to do something for me," she said, "Or you face the consequences"
My face fell as she explained what I had to and what would happen if I didn't.
"You're bluffing," I say but it sounded more like a question,
"Are you willing to take that risk?" She replied with a playful chuckle.
I have no choice. My heart began to ache as I pictured Sasuke's rare smiling face. Oh God . . .

Sasuke's P.O.V
Something's wrong with him. He's been distant ever since this morning.
"Naruto?" I ask but he won't look at me,
"What?" He snaps and I jump at the harsh tone, too scared to answer him, "What?"
I shake my head to dismiss the conversation. I hear him tut and it makes me feel even more upset. What's wrong with him? It's worrying me. Give me my Naruto back. I want his normal, annoying self back.
I feel tears slowly fall down my face and I quickly wipe them away.
"For God sake, do you do nothing but cry?!" He said with annoyance.
That was it. I got up and ran to the bedroom. This wasn't Naruto. Whoever that is out there, it was not Naruto.

Naruto's P.O.V
Guilt shot through my entire body. I'm sorry Sasuke, I'm so sorry.
I began slowly walking to the bedroom. I hear quiet sobs and I know Sasuke is trying to keep silent after what I said about the crying.
I put on an irritated face as part of my act for the sick bitch who put me up to this. When I find her, I'm going to kill her slowly and torturously.
I entered the bedroom, overwhelmed with guilt as Sasuke's red, tears eyes looked up.
Please, know that this isn't real!
The phrase I was made to say slipped out of my mouth before I could think. I watched as Sasuke's eyes widen in shock and his expression turned into hatred and sadness.
The phrase I was made to say was,
"I want to break up"
