Bully me, baby! Part 5.

Enjoy!

Recap:

Seeing how Naruto tries his hardest to hold back the moans and groans while holding his eyes closed, Sasuke can feel a certain hunger awaken within him. He can't seem to keep his eyes of the blonds lips of which the lower one has started to bleed. As he moves the twig elsewhere again he leans in closer and finally he closes the gap between them as their lips touch. Naruto's breath hitches for a moment, surprised by the tender sensation that now accompanies the pain.

Sasuke carefully slides his tongue over Naruto's lower lip to lick up the blood on which, to his surprise, Naruto opens his mouth. Before Sasuke could react any more on it they can hear the school bell ringing, announcing the start of their classes.

As they break apart they both look away from each other, though if they'd glance at each other they'd notice the red cheeks they have in common now.

"Guess we've got to go to our class…" Naruto mumbles shortly on which Sasuke replies with a simple hn.

"You better not speak a word about this to anyone. Got that?" Sasuke says sternly as he pushes the twig into the palm of Naruto's hand, who yelps at the sudden pain as Sasuke pushes harder than before. He nods quickly and by the time he opens his eyes, Sasuke has made it down the tree already.

End recap.

Dark days of misfortune

"Fuck, where is it?!" Naruto mumbles to himself as he sprints down the school stairs again.

It has been one and a half week since Sasuke had kissed him in the tree and to Naruto's surprise Sasuke hadn't soughed him out that often since. When the raven came to school early he would instantly go to his class where Naruto would often find him working, on which he guessed was homework. As soon as the final class was over his bully would be the first to leave school grounds as if he were in a hurry. And even in break times the raven just seems to disappear and sometimes even come late for the next class. Naruto doesn't have a clue what could have changed his secret crush so much. He misses him and hopes that Sasuke won't ignore him from now on. Which is pretty much reason why he's not that angry now, taken that it must have been Sasuke and his gang who hid his schoolbag.

"Naruto?" Iruka asks as Naruto is about to sprint past him. "Classes ended a couple of hours ago. Shouldn't you be at home by now?"

"Eh, Iruka-sensei." Naruto puts on his fake grin again as he scratches the back of his head. "Y-yeah I was just about to, actually. Had some stuff to finish and boy does time fly when you're busy with homework!" Naruto chuckles for a bit and he notices how Iruka frowns at his words. Before his counselor can say anything Naruto has turned around to run towards the exit of the school. He's sure to find his schoolbag tomorrow.

"It's nearly half seven... Mom and dad will be worried if I'm not home soon..." Naruto softly mumbles to himself. Not that I care much about that... There are probably only awkward silences if I'll have to eat dinner with them or something... I really hate that.

Naruto takes a turn to the left and with that he leaves the sidewalk and the road behind to follow a sand path which is only allowed for bikers and pedestrians. To the side of it, at the foot of the grassy hill, is a river. At Naruto's left side there are trees every now and then.

He lazily kicks a stone to the side as he walks on, hands in his pockets, thinking of what his bully might be doing right now.

"Grrr! I just can't get him out of my head!" Naruto shouts to the sky and he messes up his hair. When he opens his eyes again he sees something strange in the tree before him. It's black but to big to be a bird. Naruto takes a few steps closer and holds his hand above his eyes to block the sun out.

No way... There of all places?! Naruto thinks as he recognizes his schoolbag and runs towards the tree. "Yep, definitely mine... Seems I'm gonna get home pretty late..."

After sighing once more he starts to climb up the tree. As a child he loved tree climbing a lot and the thought of Sasuke luring him into the tree again, makes his heart skip a beat.

"Gotcha!" Naruto says softly as he is high up in the tree and manages to get the strap of his bag, but when he pulls it appears to be stuck behind some branches. Naruto groans in frustration as he keeps pulling never the less. By moving his leg he hopes to find some more grip, but instead the branch he was standing on breaks and with a scream Naruto tumbles down.

With his back towards the ground he breaks through a few more branches before lending on his side on the ground. He coughs and keeps laying down as he feels the scars and bruises, that are the result of his fall, all over his body. After swaying on the branch high above for a while, his schoolbag also finds his way down to the ground, lending right next to the wounded blond.

"Oi, Sasuke, you're still here?" Suigetsu asks as he walks into their already gone dark advertisement department.

There are tables with some computers, pencils and other materials at the right half of the room. The left half of the room is mainly left empty with the exception of some easels and lights. Sasuke is currently working on the left half of the room, his artwork hanging on the wall. There are some smaller ones which are composition, contrast and color sketches mainly, but in the middle hangs Sasuke's grand master piece. Even Sasuke has to stand on his toes to reach the upper part, and he isn't specific the smallest there, and the downside nearly reaches the ground.

Suigetsu whistles as he steps closer to take a better look at his colleagues masterpiece which is nearly half finished.

"Looking good. I mean, of course it does, taken the time you put in it. But still, you do so more then with previous projects right?" Suigetsu says as he takes in the details of the phoenix's feathered face.

"Hn." Sasuke says his usual trademark as he keeps on painting the lantern in the back which he intends to finish today. A silence shortly falls, though by now Suigetsu is already used to getting not much more of an answer from the Uchiha.

"Yeah well, I hate to interrupt, but I'm gonna go soon. And it's kinda my turn to lock things up here so..." Suigetsu says as he moves from one feet to the other impatiently, yet he doesn't get much of an answer again. Just when he is about to say something of it again, Sasuke sighs and lowers his pencil before stepping away.

"Just let me clean this up fast." He says and takes the pallet and pencils to the sink which stands left against the wall.

"Go ahead. I'm gonna close the other doors already then, mind leaving through the back?" Suigetsu asks as he stands in the doorway already.

"Uhn." Sasuke replies as he keeps cleaning up and Suigetsu knows that he is just fine with it.

Oh yes, Suigetsu has Sasuke all figured out. The 'Hn' language of the Uchiha's isn't all that hard to understand, if you know how to listen to it. Just two simple letters and yet so many things can be said with it. Though only those who truly know an Uchiha can understand it, and Suigetsu knows that he does. So often he had heard that Sasuke is hard to see through, so many girls call him mysterious or something. But once you get to know him and work with him as often as he does, you'll find that Sasuke isn't all that hard to read, or so Suigetsu figures.

"Sasuke?" Suigetsu asks as he comes back into their study room, but there is no sign of the raven. "I guess he left already then..." Suigetsu remarks to himself and intends to close the door until he notices the scent of paint. We're all so gonna get a head age if we have to work in this tomorrow...

He walks up to the window and opens it to let some fresh air replace the paint scented one. He takes a deep breath of fresh air before turning around to close of the rest of the building and head home.

"Tadayma..." Naruto mumbles as he finally closes the door of his house.

"Naruto?!" Kushina calls from the living room. "Where have you been?! It is nearly nine o'clock!"

"I just had some stuff to finish..." Naruto replies as he puts of his shoes and his parent's come into the hallway.

"Don't lie to your mother, young man." His father states sternly. "Tell us where have you been, and by god, don't let it be with another man..." That statement causes Naruto's anger to heat up.

They don't trust me... He suddenly realizes as his mother looks at him with worry while his father looks sternly, angry but they also hide his concern. "It is none of your fucking business!" Naruto shouts and pushes his way past them as he runs up the stairs to his room.

"Naruto!" Minato calls after him and he intends to follow his son but his loving wife stops him from doing so.

"Let him be alone for now. If he wishes to talk to us, he will. You can't force him..." Minato calms down at her words but he can see how powerless she feels and he knows that she can read it in his eyes to.

That night is one filled with a storm. The wind blows hard through the city streets where everyone who is still outside tries to hurry home. The rain pounders down and in the distance there is the sound of thunder in the jet black sky where no star can manage to shine through.

While Sasuke dreams of a long lost life with his brother and parents, Naruto's sleep is haunted by nightmares of knives, pointy branches, a certain raven and disapproving parents.

Elsewhere in the city, high in the sky, a lost soul tries to fight against the raging wind and rain. It searches for a place to take shelter but it can't find any. Flying a building by, it suddenly feels a warmer breeze and decides to go back to it.

It manages to find his way in through this small hole, where it is save from the storm outside.

But as a couple of hours have past and the storm has calmed down, the little soul wanted to go outside again to search for his family, but with every attempt it seems to bounce back. Each time and every passing hour he can see the night sky getting brighter and it feels like it's so close to that freedom. But no matter how often the poor thing tries, some sort of force field appears to prevent him from finding that freedom.

The next day Sasuke has woken up early, despite it being a Saturday. The raven is soon up and preparing breakfast as he appears to be in a good mood. For this is not just any Saturday, oh no. Today his big brother will take him to the Art exhibition. An entire day with his Nii-san. Alright, not an entire day but half a day. Itachi couldn't get the whole day off after all, but Sasuke is already glad with the time that they can spend together.

After having his breakfast he prepares himself to go to 'Sharingan' and work on his project some more, but a sudden call prevents that.

"Hello?" Sasuke says as he picks up his phone, not recognizing the number.

"Sasuke? This is principal Kurenai speaking." Sasuke instantly recognizes her voice, and for the principal to call him, often doesn't bode well. "I would like to speak to you, on short notice. I know this is very unprofessional, taken that it's not a school day today. But unfortunately you're not the only one in line, nor are you the most severe case. But I know from experience that if I do not discuss this with you soon, it will only shove up till it's to late."

"I understand..." Sasuke says and swallows. "What did you have in mind?"

"Is ten o'clock alright with you? We could discuss this at the bar near the river where the bridge for the train rail is. Does that ring a bell? 'River song' was the name if I remember correctly..." Kurenai says and Sasuke notices the uncertainty in her voice.

"I've heard of the place yes. I'll be there then." Sasuke replies and soon they have finished the conversation.

Sasuke sighs as he puts his phone away. That sure left a dent in his plan. But at least it didn't spoil the time he has with his brother which will be around two o'clock. He decides to turn on his laptop to get some inspiration for his work and such, taken that if he'd go to 'Sharingan' now, he'd have to leave instantly for the appointment with the school principle.

When Naruto wakes up for the first time it's half past nine. He sighs as he crawls under the blankets again, ignoring the pain of his sides and the scratches all over his body. He vaguely hears his mother calling him from downstairs. Something about that she's going to the market and that he has to wake up to do the laundry. He groans some more as he hears the door being closed but soon the house is entirely empty, his father being to work so they have enough money to travel somewhere again, and Naruto let's his dream world kidnap him from reality again, though this time the nightmares stay somewhat away.

"Mind if I join you?" Sasuke looks up and intends to shove the request away, like he did so often when annoying girls asked him that, but he stops as he remembers that it is this girl, or rather woman, that he has an appointment with.

"Well then." Kurenai states after sitting down and having ordered her drink. "I'm sure you're curious as to why we're here. So I'll get straight to the point." Kurenai stops for a moment when hers and Sasuke's drink are served. "Lately I have heard from multiple teachers that you've been late for their classes and sometimes even miss them. Tell me, Sasuke, is this true?"

"Yes..." Sasuke answers as he looks away, not daring to look into her eyes, which he knows are filled with disapproval and worry. A look he never wished to be directed at him again.

"I see... To be honest, I'm surprised. You're a smart kid, Sasuke, very smart. But skipping classes will eventually be fatal for you too, you know this better than most. If there is anything wrong, you can come talk to us about it, but don't let yourself fall to former behavior... You can't afford yourself to waste another year..."

"You don't think I know that?!" Sasuke snaps as he has folded his fists under the table.

He remembers it clearly. That dark period of his life... That dark and lonely year... Two years of school wasted... The first one being grade four of lower school. The year their parents had died, at the time they had their tests to go to next grade. Sasuke could easily have made it, but the pain of that loss had made him lose all interest in school. Everyone around him was so compassionate and they understood that he didn't make it.

The years after he made it, but how he couldn't say. At the beginning of high school though, it all came back. That one day had made it all come back, made him lose his motivation all over again.

But this was different. Sasuke knew that, he understood the teachers concern and therefore is willing to explain it to them. He takes a deep breath to calm himself before starting his explanation.

"This is different however... You see, I've been working on a project for my brother's company. It takes quite some time, yes, but I believe that it's important for my future as well." Kurenai rises a brow at that before she takes another sip of her drink.

"What kind of project then?" She asks. The question catches Sasuke off guard, but he doesn't show it as he starts to explain.

"Company Sharingan is an event managing company. I work at the advertisement department. Soon the Rise of the Phoenix festival, which Sharingan helps organizing, will be held. Currently I'm working on a grand poster for it. It's one of my biggest projects thus far and I hope that it will turn out to be the best I've ever painted." Kurenai can tell that Sasuke truly does enjoy doing this. The way he tells about it, the enthusiasm, as far as an Uchiha shows it, it's also clearly to see in his eyes.

"I see." Kurenai answers and smiles softly before taking her glass again. The smile slightly confuses Sasuke but he doesn't show it as he takes a sip of his drink too. "I want you to promise me something though." She says after some silence. "Make sure you don't fall behind. No skipping classes."

"I promise." Sasuke says, already glad she doesn't disapprove his work.

"The teachers at school will keep an eye on you though, and if they tell me their concerns for your progress, I will have to take more drastic action and ask you, and your brother, to stop the work at the company. It's a good thing you get contacts at the place you wish to work, but don't forget that if you want a decent job, there or somewhere else, you stand a much better chance as a graduate from high school at least. You're pretty late with that already, don't let another year go to waste..." With that Kurenai stands up as Sasuke nods.

They say their goodbyes and soon Sasuke is outside, walking towards the company as it is nearly eleven o'clock. His cheerful mood is long gone as her words keep repeating themselves in his mind. The disappointment, the threat but mostly that last line that brings so many bad memories back, memories he's not proud of.

"Don't let another year go to waste..." Sasuke angrily kicks away an empty can, feeling really agitated by it all. His phone suddenly rings, causing him to shake of his bad mood, especially as he sees the callers ID.

"Yoh, Nii-san." Just calling his brother that like he used to, gets him in a better mood.

"Hey Sasuke." Itachi replies over the phone, though Sasuke can also hear some people walking in and out, softly whispering things to his brother before they leave again. "Listen, I know I promised to take you to that Art exhibition, but some urgent things came up." Sasuke can feel his chest tighten at hearing that.

"W-we can always go a couple of hours later... Or tomorrow..." Sasuke replies, though he knows very well how little that chance is, he keeps clinging on to that small bit of hope that he has.

"I'm sorry Sasuke. I truly am. Surely some other time we can go, but not today or tomorrow. Some project went wrong and it's really hectic right now... I still have the tickets you know... They lie on the table, so if you want to you can still go with a friend."

"Hn..."

"I really am sorry Sasuke. I couldn't foresee this either, but I promise I will make it up to you. Then you can choose where we go."

"Fine..." Sasuke knows his brother truly means it. The plans for the exhibition weren't fake either, they both really wanted to go. But his brother has way to much responsibility on his shoulders and too less preparation or experience. "Don't make it an all-nighter though."

"I wont." And Sasuke can hear his brother smile at the other end of the line. "I love you, my Ototo."

"Uhn... Love you too..." Sasuke mumbles back and he knows that Itachi can hear him softly smile now too.

They end their conversation and once more Sasuke sighs as he puts his phone away. Not feeling much for painting anymore, Sasuke decides to wander around with no clear destination in mind.
