Transitions

Author's Note: Thank you all so much for the reviews! You guys are awesome! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to update, but between college and my daughter there's just not enough time in a week :/ I'll do my best to write as fast as I can though :-) READ THE WARNING! This chapter gets very ugly very fast. As wrong as this chapter is, it is important to the plot line. So I apologize for any offense that may be taken, but the ugly scenes are factual events that happened to people whom I love dearly. Obviously the characters have been changed into ones from the Naruto manga, but this does happen to people. Read at your own risk. Should you choose to skip that part of it, then stop reading at Naruto's POV and scroll down till you find Sasuke's POV again.

Summary: When Naruto's sister and Sasuke's brother hook up, things become tense. Naruto deals with his obvious attraction for the younger Uchiha, while Sasuke deals with his wavering sexuality. Throw in a heartbroken she-beast ex-girlfriend and you have your very own high school sitcom.

'This is thinking.'

"This is talking."

Surprise, Surprise.

Sasuke POV

(Dream Sequence/Flashback)

Two eight-year old boys were running in a field, polar opposites if you got a good look. A blue-eyed ball of sunshine was playing with a dark and broody raven. The game? Tag. The stakes? Loser has to say that the other is better than they are and admit eternal defeat. Unfortunately their game ended short. The raven's mother called out saying dinner was ready while the blond, not paying attention to his surroundings, bulled the dark boy over. Landing in a precarious position of lips on lips.

Now both boys knew what a kiss was, and that one should generally be kissing a member of the opposite sex, but that did not deter them. Neither of them moved away, but as curious young boys, both pushed forward. It was chaste and innocent. They pulled apart, each lost in their own thoughts, and neither noticing the tall figure standing up on the hill. Finally composed however they headed for dinner, both saying hello to the senior Uchiha.

Dinner went along just fine, par the hesitant glances cast by the man of the house. And as the young blond was walked out the door by his own parents, the other boy was pulled into his father's study, being reprimanded most harshly.

The boys felt both lighter and heavier after that night, shuddering at the over-bearing foreshadow that lay before their very eyes.

(End Dream Sequence/Flashback)

I haven't thought about that day for years. Or the way it changed me from little kid to responsible adult in my father's eyes. But I couldn't dwell on it. Today was the day of the presentation, and looking at the clock across the bed, I had best get ready.

Taking a moment to clue into my surroundings I remember sleeping at Sakura's the night before. And looking at her now, watching her duvet clad chest rise up and down as she breathed, I can't remember why I even started this charade. At first it was to please my parents, making them think I was actually interested in all of their 'family talk.' But then it became more of a tolerance. A hobby if you will. Now it's like I'm slowly being strangled, never to breathe freely and of my own volition ever again.

She opened her eyes and gazed at me in a way I assume she thought was seductive. Why I even have sex with her is a puzzle to me. She doesn't know how to turn me and barely has enough stamina to keep up and her voice is so high pitched and needy it borders on supersonic.

'I never noticed her eyes were green…probably because I never look into them. Especially when most people would expect me to.'

I rose up from the double bed in my red boxers; she clung to the sheet to create some form of modesty for herself. After a quick shower, breakfast and what most would interpret as chaste kiss goodbye I left for school.

Walking the hallways to my locker I think back to my dream. That was the last day Naruto and I had hung out voluntarily. That was also the day he kissed me…or I kissed him. I can't remember which. But it had left an impression, and after talking with my father that night I locked it away. Never to be thought of again.

"Oof!"

Is it me or do I suddenly have an extra some hundred pounds on me?

I heard someone groan from above me and looked up into startling blue eyes mere inches away from my own.

'Of course it would be him. Think of the thorn in your side and it shall appear more persistent than ever.'

"Dobe, as much as I don't like having you on top of me, I would appreciate if you got off. Now! You weigh as much as a whale."

A spark of anger in those cerulean eyes, an emotion I'm distinctly familiar with from the blond monstrosity sitting atop my hips.

"Shut up teme! My weight is perfectly fine and healthy. Besides most of its muscle, not that you'd know anyway."

He can smirk; I'm impressed…okay not really. Being nice isn't one of my numerous talents.

"You're weight is currently crushing me. Get. Off."

"Bossy bastard and his bony hips. Probably doesn't eat seeing how skinny he is."

He's mumbling, a sign that if I remember correctly implies he's nervous or distressed.

"Dobe, if you're going to talk to yourself, make sure no one can hear you. You look like you escaped the loony bin."

More anger? This proves to be an entertaining morning.

"I practically did bastard! Both my sister and mom are pmsing! It's fucking world war twelve!"

'Twelve? I could have sworn there were only two…'

"Don't tell me you can't count. There were only two world wars, both started by the same man."

The wonders, they never cease do they?

"Obviously you don't remember my house Uchiha."

He looks so grave…and cue memories. Ah yes now I remember….my family may be emotionally retarded, but his is family is insanely psychotic. Especially the women.

'Ugh, I'm so glad my mother doesn't pms…at least to my knowledge. And it shall stay that way. I'd rather not think of any part of her anatomy…that's just…too disturbing. And I've seen many a disturbing things living with weasel-boy.'

The whole time we were talking I never noticed him still sitting on me. And now that I think about it, he's not as heavy as the collision made me think. However hearing a shriek of his name has me looking down the hallway while simultaneously pushing him off.

"NARUTO!"

My girlfriend, Sakura, looks absolutely livid. And slightly murderous. For some reason, I have a bad feeling about this. And look, people have showed up to watch the natural disaster known and Naruto and Sakura unfold.

'Cue the insults and bruised egos.'

A resounding slap was heard through the hallways as Naruto's head snapped sideways. Gaara looked about ready to kill if it wasn't for Kiba wisely holding him back.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing molesting my boyfriend you freak!"

'Well at least she didn't comment on his sexuality. I've no idea if he'd be able to refrain from hitting her, which means I'd have to do something and I personally just don't want to at the moment. To quote Shikamaru, it's far too troublesome to get involved every time they fight.'

"I'm the freak? You're the one with pink hair you flat-chested bitch! And what makes you think you have the right to hit me?"

'He has a point there, pink hair truly is weird. And she is quite flat; it's almost like a washboard.'

"Easy, you're nothing. You and your friends have no place here. You're all just a waste of space and precious air. And I'm not flat-chested. You just don't know what a real woman is supposed to look like seeing as how you'd rather suck cock."

'Oh dear, this is going to get ugly. I may have to step in. Damn. Damn her and her big useless mouth.'

"No, I know what a real woman is supposed to look like; I have three of them as friends and have two women living with me. You don't even come close to what you should look like. How Sasuke doesn't mistake you for a man I have no idea. And for information, we bumped into each other. I wasn't molesting him."

Everyone is waiting for her to say it, we all know it's coming. And I'm wondering if I'll be fast enough to stop the dobe before he does something he'll regret.

"You mean you're dyke mom and sister? Please they have nothing on me. And I saw you; you had your hands braced on his chest just rearing to ride him dry. If you want to fuck someone so bad fagget, why don't you sleep with your cock-sucking bitch Gaara? I'm sure he'd love it."

I never said she was smart. And just as I predicated, he did do something he'd regret later. He hit her; well more like bitch slapped her. But we all heard the crack that went with it. One thing to know about Naruto Uzumaki, say what you want about him but never, and I do mean never, say anything bad about his friends or his family. Especially the females. It might very well be the last thing you do.

"Fuck you Sakura. I'm tired of your bullshit and I'm tired of you thinking you're better than everyone else. You need a serious reality check and if it has to come from me kicking your ass, then you bet I'll do it."

His friends literally dragged him away. Oh I can almost smell the assault charges.

'She just couldn't let it go could she? Dumb bitch anyways. Now I have to clean this up.'

"After your presentation I NEVER want you to see him again. I don't care that your brother is dating his whore of a sister."

Although I'm ambivalent one way or another, I hate being told what to do. And it would be near impossible for me to stay away from him seeing as how; a) my brother is dating his sister, and b) we're going to Maui for a month and sharing the same room. But she doesn't need to know any of this. I'm done.

"Excuse me? Since when do you think you can order me around? I'll see whoever I damn well want and there's not a thing you can do about it. From here on out, consider yourself single. No one tells me what to do, and I didn't sign up for to be a babysitter."

I shouldered past her on my way to social justice, not even bothering to look at her shocked face. I was too busy reigning in my temper and trying to focus on my presentation. Even though it was solid work, the oral part was worth the most. I couldn't afford bad grades, it would simply be unacceptable.

Naruto POV

That fucking bitch! How dare she say that about my mom and sister. And then to go and talk about Gaara? I'm glad I hit her. I don't care how disappointed my mom would be, I can only take so much bullshit in a day and she just shot my-self-restraint between the eyes.

"And now I have to present with her boyfriend. Way to go Uzumaki. I'll be lucky if I don't get my ass royally kicked by the pale princess.'

I marched to my desk and laid my head down while Gaara tried to work the tension out of my shoulders. As good as it felt to hit her, and as much as I'd do it again, I can't believe I broke so easily. And even worse, I can't believe she said that.

"It was only a matter of time I guess…'

Even Shino and Kiba were separated trying to make me feel better. Believe it or not I'm actually really sensitive to this stuff, which is part of the reason why I was so pissed about mine and Sasuke's topic. No one knows how hard it is to be this way. But they will, I ran my idea through Kakashi without telling Sasuke, and he thought it'd be a good idea to wake some of these students up to what really comes from homophobia.

Surprisingly Kakashi was on time today; he looked at me with a slight frown through his scarf and nodded at me and Sasuke. Taking that as our cue we went to the front and set up the slide show, ready to show these assholes just how bad it was for me and my friends. Cause honestly, the words don't bug us. It's the actions that follow them.

"I'm Sasuke and this is Naruto. Our presentation is on the LGBT's in Modern Society. An average day for them is generally like ours. They work, cook, clean, go out, sometimes have families, and they try to be happy. But in smaller towns and religious cities they face dangerous stuff. Broken windows, smashed cars, beat downs, and the occasional much bigger offenses. In today's day and age, most are accepted. They live normal lives, and despite the undeserved hatred aimed at them they seem to be at peace."

'I swear that's the most I've ever heard him say at one time.'

Me being the resident human rights activist agreed with Sasuke that he'd do the introduction and I'd do the rest of it. You know with me being gay and all it just made sense. I started by showing them pictures of LGBT's that I knew and had agreed to be published like this. I told them stories about their lives and the struggles they faced to be together. No one looked interested, and it was time for the shock value. Something that only my friends and I have seen, and unfortunately experienced as well. I brought up a web browser and typed in YouTube. Sasuke looking at me oddly but letting me continue and Kakashi giving me a knowing look. Almost as if he expected to me share this particular footage. The clip was titled Gays in the city.

"Most of you think that you're words have an effect on us, but they don't. It's the actions that follow that makes us guarded and explosive when trapped. This clip is not for faint hearted people. It has gruesome and adult themes that some may not wish to see. You're free to leave but if you stay, it's at your own risk."

Third Person POV

(Video Footage)

A small blond boy of about ten appeared on the screen with his family. Looking like a miniature version of his father. He was being mercilessly teased by his sister, but anyone could see the love in her eyes. What they didn't notice was the group of young men pursuing them. The young boy stopped in front of a music store, gazing longingly at a Gibson acoustic. His family hadn't noticed yet, and by the time they did it was too late. The group of young men had dragged the boy into an ally and were currently wailing on him. Throwing punches, kicks, slamming him into walls, and throwing garbage all over his little body. Suddenly four of the five men had him pinned by each limb. While the other proceed to unzip his pants, the little boy looked terrified and tried calling for help only to have his mouth covered. With the man's penis a few inches from his now (held) open mouth the boy started to cry. Wondering what he did wrong.

Just as the man's cock was inside the boys mouth he was thrown away. The father gazing at his shirtless and bleeding child snarled at the men, while his daughter and wife went to attend to the youngest. They ran away seeing the murderous intent in the older blonds eyes, not stupid enough to stick around for what would surely be a blood bath. In the background the little boys sobs could be heard blocks down the road, as he was cuddled by his family and told it wasn't his fault.

(Scene change)

An adolescent girl with Chinese styled buns on either side her head was walking home from school, bopping her head to melodious tune coming from her I-pod. She was blissfully ignorant of her surroundings seeing as she lived in a nice little neighborhood. And with her I-pod so loud, there was no way for her to hear the approaching footsteps of the three older men tailing her. Coming up on a park she was suddenly gagged and pulled from behind amongst the bushes. The men throwing crude and degrading insults her way stripped her naked. Their rough hands pulled at her hair and slapped her around when she tried to call for help through the gag.

All three men started to unzip their pants with one hand while keeping her restrained. They positioned her on all fours and untied her gag. One man got under her, another behind her, and the last one in front of her. The proceeded to roughly enter each orifice, ripping a muffled scream from her throat and causing immeasurable pain to course through her body stretching her painfully. Tears streamed down her face as they raced to their completion, all the while insulting and pulling at her. By the time they were finished she was left amongst the foliage naked, covered in blood, tears, and cum. Her voice was so hoarse from crying and screaming that she had nothing left.

(End clip)

Naruto POV

Almost everyone looked at the screen in horror. Never once truly realising just how bad it was for people like me. I was scared to look over at my project partner, instead looking at Kakashi silently asking if I could leave.

I hadn't thought about that day in seven years, I hadn't even known that anyone could be that cruel. I was ten for Christ's sakes! And Tenten wasn't much older, I think she had just turned thirteen when she learned just how bad the world could be.

I walked out of the classroom, hearing the sound of "Oh my god" and sobs echoing behind me. I needed to get out of here. Reaching the parking lot and not caring about the trouble I'd be in whenever I got home, I straddled my Ducati Dual and raced out the school's territory.

'Now they all know…how many of them won't care? How many of them think like the others did? Did I do the right thing? Or did I possibly just ruin a bunch of people's lives in the span of sixty minutes? …I don't think I have it in me to go back anymore.'

Sasuke POV

'Oh dear god…was that really…it couldn't have been him. The news would have done a story on it or something. Those guys would be in jail…wouldn't they?'

I couldn't believe what I just saw. The dobe had been sexually assaulted when he was ten, and it seemed as if nothing had been done about it. Not to mention the fact the his friend had been brutally gang-raped. Was this really the world that I lived in? Was life truly that black and white?

'Would that still have happened if I had stayed friends with him?'

The guilt that washed over me for having abandoned him was suffocating. I remember him coming to school one day after missing a month, he was covered in healing bruises and was very cautious around everyone. He wasn't as loud or as boisterous, it looked as if the light had been drained from his bright blue orbs. I told him that a dobe like him couldn't afford to miss so much school and how much of a screw up he was.

'God I am such an asshole. Naruto…'
