Disclaimer: No I Don't Own Naruto because if I did… Akatsuki would also be known as the "Happy Smiles Club" :3

"Killed?!"

Naruto was shocked to hear what Sasuke had said, his own flesh and blood… his brother, had killed their entire family. Naruto was terrified to say the least, He wanted… No… needed to know more about Sasuke's horrific past. He hesitantly called out "Sasuke…?" Sasuke didn't respond to his voice and his breaths only got deeper, "Sasuke…" A snort told Naruto that he was fast asleep. He sighed and decided not to disturb his peaceful slumber. His breath was deep and even, he looked incredibly peaceful and carefree when he slept, it was a big difference from his usual hard expression of hatred and pain.

"Hm…" Naruto purred out loud, He snorted in boredom and crossed his arms into a cute pout, no doubt it was rather boring being by yourself

Naruto picked up the family photo of the Uchiha's again, he at it absent-mindedly as he rubbed the thick dust away with his thumb. The tallest man appeared to be the father, a beautiful woman was beside him with long ravenette hair obviously that's were Sasuke had gotten his hair color from, below them were two young boys, one was taller than the other and had his hair tied in a rough ponytail at the nape of his neck while the other one was obviously Sasuke.

Naruto looks between the photo and Sasuke, was this the reason he was never open to anyone or wasn't social in the least? (Ok maybe that's a little… exaggerated) Naruto quietly placed the photo back in its rightful place, it sounded off a small clunk as it was placed back on the small wooden table beside him. Naruto lifted his hand up to his broken horn, his fingers played delicately around the crack that was indented in it. Naruto growled to his self and yanking down harshly on his horns. He ignored the throbbing hot pain of the cut in his horn… at the moment.

The pain slowly subsides and Naruto gradually lets go of his horns "Damn him…" Naruto muttered under his breath in disgust. He perked up when Sasuke moaned and turned over in his sleep, Naruto felt a wave of relief wash over his as he was glad for not waking up the so called 'sleeping beauty'.

Naruto glanced down at his now minor cuts and bruises; he had always healed incredibly fast ever since he was born. Naruto didn't like it, of course it used to make him feel unique, but now he was disgusted of what he was. He wasn't human. He wasn't sure what he was… the men where he used to be held captive always called him a 'diclonius'… well, that being other than 'monster' and 'demon'. Those words made his chest hurt, his heart tightened each time those words left someone's lips.

"Diclonius…" the words are breathed out and long winded, that word made him feel completely unwanted… like he wasn't fit to exist in the human race

Naruto placed his head in between his hands; his elbows were resting on the side of Sasuke's bed for support, Naruto let out a long bored sigh. He wanted to sleep; admittedly he was incredibly tired himself, yet he didn't want to leave the sick Uchiha alone. He settled for watching over him but getting a few catnaps here and there when he could. Naruto yawned and stretched his arms far above his head as his muscles relaxed, he crossed his arms over each other and laid his head down on his thin arms. Naruto felt his eyelids get heavy, he opened his eyes but they quickly resumed their previous position in closing. Sasuke's breath began to fade away as warmth enveloped his body; sleep was slowly yet quickly dawning on him. Before he could stop it, he had closed his eyes and was now in a deep slumber.

Sasuke rolled over and flipped an arm out. It landed on Naruto's back softly, Sasuke sub-consciously rubbed Naruto's back. Although he was asleep, he was able to hear the blonde's soft snoozes. Telling him that he was about to wake up. Sasuke's eyes fluttered open; and –of course- his first reaction was to fall back asleep. His headache was throbbing with pain and there was extra warmth near him, almost like a portable heater.

Sasuke watched Naruto's back rise up and fall back down evenly, he was obviously fast asleep… I mean with all the drama that has gone on in the past few days… no doubt you'd be tired. Sasuke couldn't stop the smirk from quirking its way on to his face.

"I can't deny it… your cute…" Sasuke mumbled to no one in particular and patted Naruto's head playfully "Just… cute."

He wouldn't let himself admit any more than that… (Just yet!) He sighed and stood up, giving a small stretch and yawn. He glanced over and saw how incredibly painful it must be for Naruto to sleep in that position, without thinking, he picked up the blonde and placed him underneath the warm covers on his bed. Fortunately it was still warm from where he had been sleeping previously. Sasuke took one last glance at Naruto and closed the door behind him as he left the room. Sasuke half-ignored the searing pain in his head and walked down the stairs to get some aspirin or something to help it.

Naruto shifted unusually in his sleep, he flopped to the side and grunted in discomfort. He rolled his shoulders to the side and snuggled deeper into the thick pillows, he exhaled in happiness; finally content with the position he was currently sleeping in. He began let out small purrs as he continued to sleep, warmth was surrounding his small built figure. He wrapped his arms around himself for extra safety and let a small smile play upon his lips.

Sasuke pulled out a small jar of pills, a large label on the front reading 'Aspirin'. Sasuke sleepily tapped the jar against the palm of his hand until two small white pills slide out from the jar. He picked up a glass of water and began to suckle on it while he swallowed the small pills, he hit he chest as they slowly and awkwardly slide down his throat causing Sasuke great discomfort. He washed it down with the rest of the water and placed the glass gently in the sink.

Sasuke rubbed his temples sub-consciously as he walked upstairs and into his bedroom. He gently closed the door behind him as he entered his room, Naruto inhaled and exhaled deeply as he turned over in his sleep and let a small moan of sleepiness escape his lips. Sasuke groaned in slight frustration, he really didn't want to share his bed but he was too tired to move the sleeping diclonius. He sighed and settled underneath the sheets, keeping his distance between the blonde diclonius and himself.

Sasuke glanced over his shoulder to see Naruto's back; he guessed that it was a good sign. He sighed and rested his head on his soft pillow, waiting for his sweet dreams to carry him away. He heard Naruto shift sides so he was now facing Sasuke's back, Sasuke shifted over as well so he was now staring at Naruto with half-lidded eyes. Sleep was dawning over him; he could barley keep his eyes open…

"Why…" Sasuke's eyes widened slightly although they were still half-closed, Naruto was sleep talking? "Why… Nii-san…"

"Huh? What?" Sasuke asked in a dull tone

Naruto abruptly grabbed Sasuke in pulled himself closer to him, in a half-hug "Why…" Sasuke froze, was he talking about the other diclonius?
You seem… fond… of my brother…
The words if the other diclonius rang through his mind "Ah… I see… you're having night terrors…" he whispered in a soft tone

Naruto whimpered in response and clutched Sasuke's shirt in between his fingers, pulling himself closer to Sasuke's warm chest. Sasuke didn't want to get close to the diclonius, but he didn't want the blonde to cry through the night with his frightening dreams. Sasuke was having an inner battle with himself; he soon finally gave into letting the blonde sleep on him like that. He shuffled under the deadweight known as Naruto and let Naruto's head rest on his chest. Sasuke wouldn't say he hated to sleep like that, he actually enjoyed the feeling… but a small part of him said this was all wrong, he blocked out that voice and held the blonde in a friendly hug.

"Kill Him…" was the last word Sasuke could remember Naruto say before he fell asleep

xXx

Sasuke's eyes scrunched up as the new morning light christened the day with a bright start, the warmth of his bed was too inviting to get up straight away. He groaned and flipped from side to side as the sun glinted off shiny objects in his room. Finally giving up on the idea of falling back asleep, he stood up and stretched his arms outwards and gave a small yawn. He glanced to the clock that read '8:23'. Sasuke sighed and stretched his arms again; the sweet smell of cooking breakfast filled his nose. Only then did he notice Naruto's absence.

"Naruto?" He half-heartedly called out and rubbed his eyes

"Naruto…?" His repeated but his voice was still unheard

He quickly gave up on trying to call him; he walked into the large bathroom and turned on the tap. Cold water ran down into the sink, but was stopped from going any further by the plug. Sasuke cupped the water in between his fingers and splashed it up among his face; the coldness woke up his face and washed away the sleepy feeling. He quickly ridded his face of the small water droplets and walked down stairs.

The hypnotic smell got thicker as he entered the kitchen, Sasuke looked from side to side to notice Naruto hovering over a stove. Frying pan was busy sizzling with sausages and eggs. Sasuke approached Naruto and stared down at the bench; it was caked with beautiful western style foods and delights. He couldn't stop his mouth from gaping at all the delicious food that was being displayed on his own bench. "I thought I'd try something western…" Naruto mumbled and placed the now cooked food on another plate.

"You didn't have to…" Sasuke muttered, all though on the inside he was screaming to taste-test the western cuisine. Naruto placed a plate stacked with food into Sasuke's hands; he promptly walked over to the breakfast table and sat down. Sasuke sat on the other side of Naruto and started to nibble on a sausage, it tasted great and was cooked to perfection. Sasuke let a hardly audible moan of delight pass his lips; Naruto's eyes took a quick glance at Sasuke and then back to his own food.

"It's good…" Sasuke said in an emotionless tone. Naruto turned back to Sasuke and smiled. "Thanks" He cut a thick wedge of his egg and placed in his awaiting mouth. Sasuke washed down his food with a tall glass of orange juice, as half of it was making its way down his throat. He choked it back up as he took a glace at Naruto. Naruto's eyes were a deep ruby red color instead of his usual peppy blue. Sasuke choked his juice back into the glass in fright, he refrained himself from doing anything else that could ruin his –already- broken reputation more. Naruto noticed his sudden reaction to him and decided to explain, "I had a nightmare…"

"S-sorry…?" Sasuke regained his posture and gave out a quick stutter

Naruto sighed and repeated himself "I had a nightmare…"

"And that's why… your eyes are… you know…" Sasuke trailed off as Naruto nodded

"Yeah…" His voice sounded sore and broken, like that of a small child waking up to only pure darkness

Sasuke bit on his lip and asked unsteadily "Do… you wanna talk… about it…"

Naruto took slow nods as Sasuke swiveled his body around to see Naruto. Naruto avoided eye contact with Sasuke; he stared down at his slowly cooling food. "It was… about my brother…"

"Oh…" Sasuke quickly remembered that Naruto was crying about his brother last night, but decided not to press on the subject

"Yeah… I was just having a nightmare about… how he…" Naruto voice trailed off as he mumbled the last part, his forehead was resting on the table's edge.

"What?" Sasuke leaned closer this time and pushed his hair away from his ear to hear better. Naruto mumbled his reply inaudibly again, Sasuke grunted and asked with more force this time "he did what?"

"He fucking killed everyone!" Hot tears of suppressed rage and pain streamed down his cheeks, dripping off his chin and on to his pants. The tiny water droplets leaving tiny dark marks on them. Sasuke immediately felt a pang of guilt for forcing him to tell him. Naruto's red eyes died down to a dark purple, he was panting from anger, his eyes continued to pour out water crystals as his eyes got red from crying. Sasuke leaned over to rub Naruto's back in sympathy; Naruto's head was facing the floor now. Sasuke's hand rubbed up and down continuously on his tense back, although he retracted his hand quickly when Naruto began to chuckle.

"What…" Sasuke mumbled in slight confusion

"Look at me…" he chuckled again, his cheeks red and tear stained "All I do is cry… and im sick of it."

Sasuke stared at Naruto, unable to find something to say. He watched Naruto's eyes dull down into a shade of crystallized blue; all this emotions were swirling around in his eyes, mostly hatred and unhappiness. The sink tap began to drip slowly, the thick silence made the splashes loud and annoying. A loud clap of thunder made both boys flinch in surprise, Naruto sighed and ridded his eyes of the unshed tears still being held captive in his eyes from his will not to cry. He picked up his half-finished plate of food and gently placed it in the sink.

"Im sorry about… that." Naruto said gently and turned his face away from Sasuke's, focusing on anything than his deep black orbs

"Hn. Its fine." Sasuke's tone was emotionless as he placed his own empty plate in the sink

Sasuke was desperate to change the depressing subject, he quickly blurted out the first thing that came to his mind "food…"

"Pardon?" Naruto turned around sharply, his blue eyes boring into Sasuke's onyx ones

"Umm… you should eat more food… you're thin…" Sasuke corrected himself, but felt incredibly embarrassed all the same

"Oh… ok…" Naruto muttered, his tone holding no visible emotions

A long silence crept through their conversation; Naruto's breathing was soft while Sasuke's was heavy. The tension in the air between the two was incredibly thick, anything said out of place could set off a spark and cause a fight between them. Sasuke coughed, breaking the long silence, Naruto's eyes scrunched shut in thought as he twitched when another clap of thunder sounded off a new storm coming.

"Ne… Sasuke…?" Naruto's voice was barely above a whisper, he mentally regretted asking when Sasuke replied

"Yeah?" He replied casually

There's no going back… I need to know this… Naruto gulped audibly and spoke up

"Do… Do you… like me…?"

"Uhh… Sure, why not…" He exhaled his words in boredom with the subject

"No… I mean…" Naruto trailed off, looking away from Sasuke yet again not wanting to see the look in his eyes

"What? You mean what?" Annoyance tweaked his harsh words

"Do you love me…?"

xXx

Kakashi pulled his black car up along the curb, Iruka subconsciously looked out the window to stare at the small run-down house they had incidentally parked in front of. "Are you sure she wasn't lying?" Iruka mumbled nervously, taking a glance at Kakashi who was busy reading a long map for directions and holding a small card with an address marked on it.

"Mmhmm, she seemed serious about it…" He closed the large map and threw it Iruka; he pulled the car out of park and into drive, the card still crunched between his hands and the steering wheel

"I see…" Iruka scrunched the map in between his fingers and sighed, "I just… don't know how it's possible…"

"Hm? What do you mean?" Kakashi asked and turned to Iruka

"Keep your eyes on the road…" He sighed and sweat dropped at his idiocy " and… well… I don't know… it just seems a little weird to me…"

"Is it because he's not one to be social?" Kakashi took his eyes off the road again, but quickly turned back as the look on Iruka's told him everything.

"I guess but…" He pressed his cheek up against the cold and half-fogged window, drawing little un-fogged circles in it "…why him…"

Rain began to run down the windows glass framing, thunder and slight lightening making the radio jump and become static. Iruka closed his eyes, as the rain pelting down on the roof became almost hypnotizing and steady beat.

"Why… the Uchiha…?"

OMG!!! I took so… long on this!! I can't believe it!! Well, here's my Kakashi style excuse:
"I was walking home to write my story when a lepricon informed me that I needed to save a planet I've never even heard of"
And now my real excuse:
"I've been incredibly sick with the flu, Thanks to my friend… we won't name any one… SHERIDAN!"
Anyhoo… this chapter was too fluffy for my liking but… yeah… hope you enjoyed it, SORRY!!

Love,
Sweet Tragedies
