Heehee… im absolutely nuts… well here's another chapter for you strange people who read this awful story…
Disclaimer: …How many people actually believe I own Naruto? No one? Ok then… No I Don't Own Naruto
Sasuke squirted the silky shampoo into his palm; he quickly rubbed his hands together to make it bubble. He massaged the shampoo into Naruto's hair roughly, Naruto purred loudly as Sasuke continued to massage in the shampoo. Sasuke couldn't stop the smile that was tugging at his lips… the adorable cat-like purrs were just too cute to ignore. Sasuke removed his hands from Naruto's head and his purring seized, Sasuke couldn't help being just a tad disappointed… but he shook off those feelings and washed down Naruto's hair.
He began to hum an old tune that had been swimming around in the back of his mind, his mother used to sing it too him when he was younger. He squirted some shower gel into his palms again and began to wash Naruto's horns. It was a little unnerving to be washing them, but he got over it. Sasuke ran his fingers across the diclonius' horns… he stopped and went backwards. He stopped when something strange ran under his finger.
Sasuke's soft humming stopped as he inspected the strange feeling. A crack at least 1 inch long was marked at top of Naruto's horn going downwards, Sasuke touched the crack again. Naruto's shoulders tensed at the touch, as the raw nerves began to sting.
"Does that hurt?" Sasuke asked gently, leaning backwards on his chair
"No…" Naruto lied, Sasuke could tell but decided not to question it
"I'll go get a towel…" Sasuke stood up from his chair and left the bathroom
"…Alright…" Naruto replied slowly
Naruto stay still in the large bathtub, his clothes were still on as Sasuke didn't want to remove them. Naruto opened his eyes slowly as he began to become livelier. Naruto calmly lifted his arm to watch the Luke-warm water pour out from his uniform's long sleeves. He placed his hand back into the warm water as it started to get cold, his wet bangs stuck to his face as they were beginning to dry from the lack of water. He lowered his head as Sasuke re-entered the bathroom.
"I got the towel…" Sasuke said, chucking the towel off on to the bench
"Okay…" Naruto replied
Naruto stood up; his clothes were saturated and hugged his body closely. Water dripping and/or pouring from all ends of his clothing, Sasuke couldn't help but stare at the blonde's slender body. He was much slimmer than himself but seemed a lot stronger, he never questioned his abilities incase it would lead to something bad. He quickly beckoned for Naruto to approach him, grabbing the towel; Naruto slowly approached the dark-haired guardian of his. Water continued to drip from his over-sized clothes. Sasuke firstly ridded Naruto's face of the small water droplets; he wiped his forehead and dropped the towel limply over his own shoulder.
Sasuke walked towards the back of Naruto and threw the towel over his head; he roughly dried the blonde locks. He quickly ruffled the diclonius' long semi-dry bangs with the towel, before slinging it over his shoulder again "I'll go get you some dry clothes…"
Sasuke quickly turned on his heel and headed for the door (yet again…) He planted his hand on the doorknob but stopped as something pressed up against his back, he crookedly swerved his body around to get a better look. "Im sorry…" Naruto mumbled into Sasuke's chest, burying his head further into it.
"For what?" Sasuke asked and placed his hand atop Naruto's messy blonde hair
"Im sorry… for causing you… so much trouble… sorry…" Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke's upper chest and leaned into the hug
"Oh… Its fine…" Sasuke replied half-heartedly
"But…" Naruto began looking up at Sasuke, his eyes glistening from the tears in his eyes
"Yes…?" Sasuke asked, he fought off an oncoming blush
God fucking damn it… I shouldn't feel this way about a guy… Sasuke mentally cursed, but ignored the feeling
"Can… we be friends…?" Naruto asked carefully, staring deeply into Sasuke's black orbs
"…" Sasuke looked down at Naruto questioningly, not entirely understanding the background of the question he was asking
Naruto looked hurt that he didn't answer, but quietly accepted it "Ah… Never mind… Its ok…"
Sasuke placed his hands on Naruto's shoulders and took a step backwards. Naruto looked at him slightly confused, Didn't he like being close to someone? Sasuke took a deep breath… why was it so hard for him? "Of course… Of course we can be friends…"
Sasuke cringed, the thought of acting nice to someone seemed disgraceful… and yet all those those melted away when Naruto threw him the most heart-warming smile any had ever given him (Besides his family…) "Promise…?" Naruto asked cutely, wagging his pinky at him
Sasuke sighed and hooked his pinky with his, he looked away from the hypnotizing blue eyes and said "Promise"
Naruto's eyes crinkled as he sent him a fox-like grin and glomped him, they both fell to the floor harshly. Sasuke winced as his back hit the edge of a nearby door, he growled and threw Naruto off him. "Dobe…" He hissed and walked away into his room.
Naruto bit his lip but none-the-less followed the brooding Uchiha, Sasuke was too busy fishing out clothes from his never-ending closet for Naruto and now himself to notice the blonde entering his room. Sasuke was slightly startled to see the blonde right there and then –although he wouldn't admit it- he threw Naruto a light blue shirt and navy blue bed pants, and picked out a navy blue shirt and black bed pants for himself. He took a quick glance over his back to find that Naruto was already pulling his shirt over his bare chest; Sasuke shook his head and thought nothing of it. They both quickly changed out of their soggy clothes and into their fresh cry ones.
Sasuke walked downstairs and sat on the couch with a loud sigh, Naruto's blue orbs curiously scanned the room. Sasuke sighed again and patted the couch and beckoned for Naruto to take a seat, Naruto instantly agreed and sat right down in the seat beside Sasuke. Sasuke stared at him for a minute before rubbing his temples and standing back up and heading over to the cupboard.
Sasuke opened one eye and dug out two instant ramens, Naruto perked up at the sound of shuffling and the sweet smell of food enticed his taste buds. Naruto dreamily walked over to Sasuke and peeked around his arm, staring down at the heavenly food he was making. Naruto couldn't contain his curiosity any longer… he had to ask, "What is it?"
Sasuke would've chuckled if he wasn't feeling like shit (or if he wasn't a stuck up bastard) "Its ramen… I would cook something but being out in that weather has made me feel ill…"
"Its smells yummy…" Naruto thought out loud, completely ignoring Sasuke
Sasuke picked up the hot cup and placed it carefully in between Naruto's awaiting hands, Sasuke looked at him cautiously, he hadn't let go of the hot cup incase he would freak out from the excessive heat and drop it on the floor… or worse, himself. "Its hot." Sasuke warned, Naruto nodded and Sasuke gradually let go of the cup. Naruto happily held the steaming ramen between his fingers as if the heat wasn't bothering him at all. Naruto happily sniffed the hot air that was casually steaming from the hot noodles; Sasuke gripped and stabbed a pair of chopsticks in his ramen as he leaned over and handed a pair to Naruto. Naruto smiled and happily took the utensils and nodded in gratitude.
"You might wanna--" Sasuke's eyes widened, Naruto was practically inhaling his ramen already "—wait… first…"
Naruto sighed happily, being content on finishing his noodles in record time. Sasuke waited for the blonde to screech in pain from the searing pain of the hot ramen that had most likely burnt his throat, yet no such thing came so he decided to question it "Didn't that hurt your throat?"
Naruto stared at his questioningly; a long silence happened between them before Sasuke's words had finally soaked into Naruto's thick skull "No…" he answered casually, seeing nothing of it
"Hn…" Sasuke shrugged it off quickly before continuing to nibble on his own ramen
Sasuke could see out of the corner of his eye that Naruto was staring at him and his ramen, he watched closely at Sasuke's chopsticks dug through the many noodles, picked some between them, wiggled off the excess juice from them and placed them idly in his mouth and went back for more. Naruto hadn't taken his eyes off the ramen for a second; it was unnerving having some one stare right at you while you eat. Sasuke sighed and placed his ramen down and placed a hand over his forehead, Naruto looked eagerly between Sasuke and the ramen, stopping to stare at Sasuke while he asked "is Sasuke not hungry…?"
Sasuke waved his spare hand "You have it…" The truth was he was starving but the food wasn't all that satisfying right now. Naruto obediently shook his head in disagreement "No… Sasuke is hungry…" He picked up Sasuke's ramen and fiddled with the chopsticks "I'm fine… really…" Sasuke muttered, wincing as he felt a headache coming on. Naruto picked the ramen up in between the two chopsticks and blew on it gently "Here."
Sasuke sent him a questioning glance "what…?" Sasuke sighs slowly understanding the meaning of his word. "No. Im Alright, Really." The look one his face said that he wasn't giving up that easily.
"Eat." He sent Sasuke an intense glare that Sasuke was sure only Uchiha's were capable of
"Fine…" Sasuke breathes out and open his mouth to await the ramen.
Naruto leaned forward and dropped the now cold substance in his awaiting mouth, Naruto picked up some more ramen, blew it gently and put it in Sasuke's mouth again. He and Sasuke repeated the process over and over again until there was no ramen left in the large cup. Sasuke wouldn't admit it out loud… nor would he even admit it to himself, but the fact that Naruto fed him the ramen made it all the more satisfying and made his stomach flutter. (A.N: Sorry if im making it to lovey dovey… im not good at Sasuke's teenage angsting…)
Sasuke smiled at Naruto and let a small 'thank you' escape through his lips, Naruto smiled back and handed him the empty cup. Sasuke stood up at an incredible rate; his long-forgotten headache was now back with a vengeance. Sasuke sat back down and grasped his head in pain; Naruto crawled over and sat extremely close to Sasuke. This headache of his was at least 3 times more pain for then a hangover.
"Sasuke… Go to bed… you don't look well…" His concern was touching, but Sasuke didn't need it
"Tch, Whatever." Sasuke hissed, he stood up –with Naruto at his heels- and headed towards his bed room
Naruto followed him like a lost puppy. Sasuke sat down on his bed, heaving a large sigh. Naruto sat on his knees besides Sasuke's bed, his fragile smile never disappearing off his gentle expression. "Ne, Ne… Sasuke…?"
He grabbed Sasuke's attention quickly "What?" It wasn't in the kindest tone but… heck! He couldn't help it right now…
"I'll watch over you… I'm not that sleepy… so… can I?" He asked, ever so innocently
Seriously! Who could say no to a face like that?! Sasuke sure couldn't "Hn, Whatever… Just don't bug me…"
"Okay!" Naruto glanced around the room looking for something to strike his interest. Naruto stopped his searching when an old photo came into his gaze; he guessed it to be of his family… "Is this your family…?"
Sasuke was getting drowsy from the heavy amount of drugs he just took to ease the pain of his headache, but he heard the question "Yeah… Me… My Mum… Dad… and… I-Itachi…"
"Itachi…?" Naruto asked, taking back his position beside Sasuke's bed
"Yeah… He was the one who…" Sasuke was beginning to fall into a deep slumber; Naruto's voice was getting distant
"Who what…?" Naruto tilted his head to the side as he asked the question
"Who… Killed them…"
xXx
Sakura plopped down on to her silk covered bed and buried her face into the pink silk covered pillows, tears staining the beautiful material under her face. She continued to cry out her sorrows into her pillows, she snorted and wiped her nose on her long and damp sleeve. She reached over her pillows and grabbed a giant pink plush bunny. She buried her face in its and began to cry again.
"S-s-Sasuke…-k-kun…" she cried into her toy's face
Its glass eyes fogged up from her hot breath and its extremely soft fur became wet and sticky. Ever since Sasuke had run after Naruto, she had been crying. She ran home in tears, not caring about the people watching her, she ran all the way home and was now still crying her sore eyes out. Her mascara and eyeliner was now smudged incredulously under her eyes, her eyes were puffy and red from constantly crying, mud and dirtied rain had been splashed up her legs and was coating her usually white socks.
She hiccupped as she wiped her nose again on her sleeve, she had dedicated her life to Sasuke… and what did he do in return? Break her heart and fall in love with a man they had found!
Sakura felt rage boiling within her stomach, her manicured nails dug into her palm as she clenched her fists. It drew blood. Sakura leaned over and opened her shiny pink flip phone. She quickly punched in many numbers, the dial tone rang over and over again before a young female's voice replied "Hello?"
"Hi" Sakura smirked to herself as she spoke
"What can I do for you?" Her tone said 'Hi, I couldn't care less about what you want' Sakura ignored it
"Would anyone there know anything about humans with horns?" Sakura asked in a devilish tone
"Just a minute… I will put you on to Mr. Hatake" She placed the phone on hold and cute music played for the duration
"Hello?" A male voice now echoed down the line
"A-ah… Yes… I would like to know if you know anything about… strange diseases in humans…" Sakura was a bit uneasy talking to 'Mr. Hatake'
"What would you mean by that?" His tone clearly wanted to know more about this
"You see… I've found this boy… and he's not normal…" She bit her lip gently
A short silence followed "…what do you mean by… 'Not normal'…"
"You see… he has horns…"
OMG!!! Let me die now!!! Or better yet… lets make Sakura die!!! Yay!!! Should I make Sakura die in this…? I want to but… I would like your opinions first.
Love,
Sweet Tragedies…
