Warnings for this Chapter: Language, Strange Flashbacks, and A Creepy Man that huants Naruto's past (Hast to do with Flashbacks)

Naruto mindlessly walked through the dark alleyways, trying his best to run into any one. Here he was, a very small five-year-old wandering through the lone streets, and to add to that, it had just rained, so the poor boy was soaked to the bone. Anyone could come up to him and kill him or something. He let out a sigh as he quickly turned down a corner in the maze of back alleys. He nearly screamed in fear when he saw that the pathway lead to a dead in, but not only that, there happened to be a dark and evil figure hiding within the shadows.

Naruto let out a small whimper as he backed up some, but froze when he saw the person move as well. "He-Hello?" he stammered out as he was beginning to shake some. His mind was basically screaming at him to move his legs and flea, but it was like he couldn't process that command. He heard a rather strange laugh as a body, male, stood up off the create it was sitting on and slowly emerged from the darkness.

"Are you lost…boy?"

"Naruto? Naruto wake up," Naruto could feel a slight shake on his shoulder as he reluctantly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Sasuke's lips, which was rather close, pull into a smile as 'sleeping beauty' woke up from his slumber. Naruto lifted his gaze and gave a half minded smile to himself. "So do you feel better? Iruka said we could go…home this morning. He is even letting us take a wheelchair so I don't have to carry you every where you go," Sasuke laughed a bit before he took a seat on the side of Naruto's bed.

"I feel…ok," Naruto said as he tried to shake off the nightmare he had just woken from. It was more like a flash back rather then a nightmare…only difference between the two was that Naruto had experienced this event and didn't want to go through it again, so he was partly glad Sasuke woke him up before what ever happened, happened.

"Well, I'm glad that you are talking now and not acting like a lifeless zombie," Sasuke smirked as he saw Naruto shoot a glare at him. Apparently he had offended The knuckle-head boy in some manner.

"I am not a zombie! Jerk!" he mentally stuck out his tongue at pale teen before his face of fake anger was replaced with a more emotional look. "And are you…are you sure you want to take me in? I'm worthless and I'll only-"

"Don't talk like that," Sasuke interrupted him in mid-sentence. "If I didn't want to take you in to my home, then I wouldn't have told you last night that I will." Naruto gave as soft look before ginning sheepishly. "Besides…I should do something for you…it is not every day I hit a homeless orphan right?"

"Thanks man. Don't worry, I only need to stay for a month or two, at least until I get a job and place of my own! I don't want to drag you down too far with me," he added before sitting up some more. "So…when can we leave? I don't like hospitals…"

Sasuke gave smirk as he nodded his head, "Ok, I will go sign you out and go get the wheel chair from Iruka." He stood up and bent down to pick up a bag that had been next to him on the floor, which of course Naruto couldn't have seen the bag from the way his bed was angled. "Oh, I also got some clothes for you…real simple, just a black shirt, boxers, and some pants. It was all I could find in my car." Yes…Sasuke kept spare clothes in the car due to the fact he worked out at the gym frequently and just had extra clothing, just in case. Sasuke waved towards Naruto as he handed the bag of clothing to a nurse, it was obvious that Naruto couldn't dress himself do to the injuries. He turned and gave on finally look at the blonde, which was replied with a bright smile from the younger, before he walked off, in search for the front desk

Naruto nearly flew out of his wheelchair, compliments to Iruka, in excitement as Sasuke pushed him towards his car, the black SUV that almost ended Naruto's life. Naruto was bouncing up and down, not really caring if he could feel pain in his hip. Sasuke frown some when he could feel the poor chair-on-wheels tilt from left to right, threatening to topple over any second.

"Will you cut that out! If you fall out of that wheelchair, I would have to take you straight back to the hospital," Sasuke threaten the hyper boy in a loud voice as he pointed to the large building behind him. Naruto turned back to Sasuke and gave him a fake pout look and began playing with a black baggy shirt Sasuke had let him wear.

"I'm sorry…I just so excited!" he said as he looked up at Sasuke with an eager expression. His light blue eyes were basically shining. "I have never really had a home to live in…or a bed either an-," his voice dropped as they pulled up to the car. Naruto examined the vehicle; he could see a rather nice dint in the hood from where his body had impacted. Silently, his gaze fell to the ground; his mind was flashing back to that night…the night were he tried to kill himself. Sasuke was quick to notice the change in attitude of the little blonde and quickly tried to comfort him.

"Naruto, you ok?" he asked softly as he moved so he was at Naruto's side, kneeling down so he was at eye level with the smaller. When the other didn't answer, Sasuke quickly bit his tongue. Thinking quickly for something to say to break the trance Naruto was in, he quickly blurted out. "Hey, it is only eleven…I can take you to my house and I can make you some pancakes. Have you ever had one of those?" he questioned in a slightly cheerful voice, trying to get the other's attention.

Naruto's head snapped up as he turned to Sasuke. "Pancakes? I don't think I have…are they like normal cakes with icing but in a pan!" Naruto shouted dumbly before he noticed how close Sasuke's lips were…again; Naruto was starting to think it was Sasuke's soul mission to torture him in such a crude. He felt some heat go up to his cheek as he scooted over in his wheel chair some.

Sasuke smiled and chuckled some at Naruto's statement about pancakes. "Well…not exactly, but I'll make you some and you can see for yourself. Sasuke stood up straight as he walked to the SUV and opened the door. He froze for a bit as he looked from the nice leather seat of the car then back at Naruto several times. He smirked as he walked to the blonde and bent down next to him. With out warning, Sasuke let a pale arm slid under Naruto's legs, and the other one griped a shoulder as he lifted him up out of the chair…bridal style. Naruto let out a gasp.

"What are you doing!" he screeched as he felt his hands grip Sasuke's shoulder, digging his fingers into them mercilessly. It wasn't that Naruto was scared; it was just sudden and unexpected. If Sasuke had told him the 'game plan', he would have known what was coming and not tense as much. His legs were starting to kick.

Sasuke nearly hissed as he felt Naruto's fingertips dig in to him, lucky for him the blonde's nails were not sharp. "What the fuck! I was just helping you in to the car, Jesus!" he yelled. 'Why is he over reacting?' he asked himself as he was starting to find it was harder to keep his grip on the kicking and screaming Naruto.

"Well I'm sorry," Naruto said sarcastically, "It's not my fault that you scared me half to death! I thought you were going to drop me, or… something worse" he argued back, voice dropping at the last part. He loosened his death grip as Sasuke slid him out of his arms and into the seat.

"You're right, my mistake," Sasuke said apologetically. 'Something worse?' He reached over and buckled Naruto in, his hand gently brushed the other's thigh. Of course, Sasuke didn't notice this, but Naruto did. He mumbled something under his breath as Sasuke closed the door. He took the wheelchair and began to fold it so it could fit in the back seat. Finally after figuring out how to get the thing to bend in half and set in the back, he took his place in the driver's seat. He buckled his own seatbelt as he turned to look at Naruto. The blonde had fallen asleep while he was working with the wheelchair. Blonde hair covered his forehead and the boy was leaning against the window, cheek being squished in between the glass and the force of his own body. He smiled as he turned to look at the road. He stuck his key into the ignition and turned it, the car giving series of odd noises before the engine gave a low hum.

"Sweet dreams Naruto," he said softly to the sleeping blonde as he pulled out of the parking lot of the hospital. Unfortunately those 'Sweet Dream', were horrid nightmares.

"Are you lost…boy?" a rather sinister voice question Naruto, followed by a couple of laughs. "It is dangerous in the streets for a child your age to be wandering around. Something…terrible could happen to you." Naruto shook some at the sound of the voice. This man scared him. His skin was pale, his eyes were gold and looked like a snake, and not only that…he flat out looked like a cross-dressing freak.

"I'm not a little kid…I'm five!" the boy shouted at the man, obviously a five-year-old was now considered a 'big kid'. Naruto gasped as the man strode to him so there was only a foot in between the two.

"Oh really now? Ku Ku Ku…" the man chuckled as he let one of his hands reach out and touch Naruto's tan cheek; Naruto came up to his waist, so he was in good reach of the man's touch. Naruto instinctively slapped the offending hand and jumped back.

"Don't touch me or-"

"Or what child? There is no one to come to your aid…" the man said harshly. "You just a little street rat…or should I say mouse?" the man laughed more as he took a step closer to Naruto.

"Leave me alone!" Naruto turned to run but felt arms grab him quickly by the waist, lifting him up into the air.

"I thought you weren't a little kid? Only little kids runaway…" Naruto could feel himself getting sick. The breath of the man's voice lingered on his neck and sent shivers of disgust down his spin. He frantically scratched the skin of the arms that were locked around his stomach.

"Let me go…" he pleaded as his scratches became more desperate and he was actually starting to cut the man. He could feel his eyes starting to sting, as he wanted to cry in fear. He froze as the man leaned over some and gave a sickening lick to his ear. "Please…let me go…"

Naruto's eyes snapped open as he awoke for his nightmare. He let out a deep sigh as he looked out the window he was sleeping on. The moving scenery came to a blunt stop as he heard the sound of breaks. Were they finally there? Were they finally at Naruto's new 'home'?

"Naruto, are you awake? We are here," Sasuke stated as he nudged at Naruto's shoulder some; Sasuke had a feeling Naruto was awake, he caught a glimpse of his face when he had awoken. Naruto looked at the window for a split second before his gaze went to Sasuke.

"Yeah…I'm awake," he stated as he gave a sad look to the other. Sasuke retuned the look as he placed the back of his hand against Naruto's slightly sweat covered forehead.

'Why is he acting so strangely…that is the same look he had when he woke up at the hospital,' Sasuke questioned himself. Are you ok? You look shitty and sick…" Sasuke said as he removed his hand. "Did you have a bad dream?" Sasuke knew he shouldn't be pestering the other, but he couldn't help but worry.

"What! No, I'm just fine! See!" Naruto replied quickly as he gave a trademark grin. He honestly couldn't tell Sasuke what he had dreamed of…not now anyways. He could feel himself sweat more as Sasuke gave him an accusing look.

'He is definitely hiding something...or things' Sasuke thought as he let his gaze on Naruto soften. "Ok, We are at our house now. I will give you a short tour before I go and make you some pancakes, ok?"

"Oh boy! I can't wait!" Naruto cheered as he fought the urge to get out of the car himself and run up to the building that would be his sanctuary for the next couple of months or so.
