I do not own Naruto. I lost my "It Started Online" story. So I really need all the support I can get.

I felt disgusted. I felt wet. I felt like if I gagged anymore, I will be drinking pee for lunch. That thought disgusted me even more. My cold finger tips touch the even colder porcelain toilets, but not once did I force myself to raise my head, away from the pee and away from horrible smell the toilet hole gave out. How could I with a strong hand holding my head down, forcing me to dig my face into the yellow liquid, I started to scream again and trying to shake my head hoping his grip on my blonde locks will loosen just a bit. But I had no such luck. Tears started to fall down my cheeks the moment, I felt my blonde hair being tugged until my head was away the toilet and I was taking the image of the pale blue ceiling in the boys bathroom. I started to take deep breath even if it hurt because I knew the moment he dunk my head in the toilet again, it going to be a while before I can breathe again.

"How does it feel, fucking moron, losing energy and losing strength? Wait; do not tell me you're crying?" I sighed loudly, trying to take deep breath, trying my hardest to ignore the annoying voice next to my ears. I started to blink rapidly but that only increase the amount of tears that started to fall and after a while without my control, I started to sob. My body started to shake. My breathing became loud and shaky. My tears never stop falling. I felt weak. "Oh my god, the all mighty Uzumaki Naruto is crying! Who would've thought?" My watery eyes shifted taking a peek at my abuser before looking back into the toilet.

Sasuke's piss, God, doesn't he have a heart?

"I hate you…" I mumbled through my sobbing, his eyes widen, and I felt his grip on my blonde hair tighten, he started to tug my hair from left to right and back to left, I let my head follow the moment afraid if I didn't, he would pull out some of my blonde hair. He did it before. My eyes shifted once again, eyeing the blonde hair on the floor that he ripped from my struggle. Out of nowhere I felt him tug my hair to the right harder than ever, I screamed loudly and my eyes widening when I notice the bathroom stall wall was coming closer, I extended out my hand to stop the collusion. It was pointless because then I felt his warm hand grab my neck and made sure I am slammed into bathroom stall wall. "Why?"

"Because you're making me into something I am not!" He screamed loudly, making sure I heard him through my sobs. What have I made him turn into? I don't know, but if I knew, I'll stop because this abuse was too much. These abuses made me want to run away or even disappear. Then I felt my head being forced back into the used toilet, my blue eyes widen when I notice the yellow liquid getting closer and closer, I started to scream once again but it went into deaf ear, like it always has.

I screamed awake, my eyes widen, and my grip holding tightly to my blanket. Oh my God! My screaming was blood churning and my heart didn't stop pounding, my eyes started to zone around taking in everything around me, hoping I didn't see him. But he wasn't there and why would he? He was probably sleeping…at home. My screaming died down and my heart started to pound normally, I laid back down on my bed and blink slowly, the dream was still fresh in my head and I knew I wouldn't go back to sleep because of it. I looked down at my hand for a minute, trying to hold back a smile, he was an abusive guy but…I don't know…when he held my hand it's like the abuse never existed. I sighed again, shoving my hand back into the warm blanket than I hummed gently, trying to exhaust myself to sleep.

-Narusasu Line Break-

His large hand held mine, as a sweet heat rush through my body for the first time in a long time. Was this the feeling of love, I heard so many young girls and guys talk about? If it was, I could say with confidences that I am in love. As our finger entwined, I felt my heart starting a whole new beat, it was loud and irregular, it was getting hard to breathe and as scary as it felt, it was addicting, Kaede, this new guy who just prance into my life, was addicting. I closed my eyes at some point, I didn't know why but it felt like the right thing to do as my body moved on its own, I felt like everything was supposed to be this way.

I paused my typing and started to watch Hinata and Kiba who were both talking about our senior picnic, I couldn't go due the fact I had to pay my senior dues which basically is coughing up four hundred dollar to be allowed to do senior activity with the senior, to be honest, I only paid for my cap and gown and that's it. I don't have the money. The only reason why I have an apartment was because before my parent died, they bought that apartment which meant it was mine now and no one could kick me out. The only reason why I could pay my bills was because the Hokage stepped in. The only reason he stepped in was because they knew my father, so to wrap everything up, I don't have money for senior dues and I could ask the Hokage for some money but that isn't my style. It was bad enough he paid for my cable, my light, my food, my cloth, cell phone, and my phone bill, now coughing up four hundred to hang around with people I really don't like? As if.

But I am going to be honest over here: I do want to go. Even if surrounded by people I hate.

"I actually found a pure white dress, I really like it, and I was planning on buying it for prom. It's strapless and it end before my knees, what do you guys think?" I stared at Hinata for the longest before nodding my head in improvement, it sounded simple and clean, something Hinata could wear happily and confidently. Once Hinata saw my head nod, she blushed happily and turn to Kiba, hoping to get the same reaction but all she saw was Kiba chewing down his pizza like a pig. "Kiba, is that a yes or no?"

"I say, take me to this place, try it on, walk around in front of me, and then I decide?" Hinata eyes widen at the comment before she started to turn a nice shade of red, Kiba did had a point. I nudge Kiba and then nodded in agreement. Kiba laughed loudly, grabbing on to his soda can and started to drink from it happily. "Hey, speaking of prom, who are you taking Ms. Hyuuga?"

"No one yet, Mr. Inuzuka," she turn to me with a small smile for some odd reason, but all I did was shrug and look back at my fuck up laptop and started to think of something else to type once again. I paused my typing, after a while and slammed my head on my laptop. I am exhausted. After my nightmare last night I ended up writing all night due to the amount of idea that rushed through my head since the holding hand incident and due to the fact I didn't want to go back to sleep and see him, hurt me again, because I knew if I saw him in my dream once again, I will not go through with my plan. "I was hoping someone will ask me…" I blinked slowly, turning my head to spot Hinata biting into her ham and cheese sandwich, her pale eyes on me, but when I raised my eyebrow, she blushed and looked back down to her recently shorter skirt.

"Good afternoon, Naruto!" I blinked once again and slowly shifted my head to the right and let my eyes move up to stare at a handsome face of Sasuke-Mother Fucking-Uchiha, the guys of my fucking nightmare, and the guys I am dying to have in my arm. For the novel! God! I slowly raised my head up from the laptop keyboard and smiled up at Sasuke, noticing two girls behind him, one being Ino and the second one being Tenten, I waved at both of them. I only got a respond from Ino, who waved at me happily, she might be selfish and shallow but at least at times she can be very nice. Kiba and Hinata both turned to Sasuke, Hinata only smiled and waved meanwhile Kiba rolled his eyes and started to thread his finger in my locks protectively.

"Good afternoon, Sasuke-kun…" My tone was dripping with false sweetness it made Kiba shake with mute laughter and made Hinata raise a questionable eyebrow, I bet she was thinking, since when do I say 'kun'? Never, expect now, and that was weird. Sasuke flinched back, it was a quick movement almost unnoticeable, but I caught it, his eyes twitched and his smirk dropped for a mere second. "Thank you so much for the other day. It really made me feel…happy?" Kiba turn to me with a confuse look but then look up at Sasuke with a smirk, pretending like he knew what I was talking about. Ino, Tenten, and Hinata looked lost and kind of insulted that they were cut out the conversation. Sasuke smirked dropped as he tilted his head to side and gave me a smile, a smile that remind me of a little child, like…the first time I saw him before the bullying and before the whole high school moments.

"Naruto-Chan, will you like some fish from my mommy bento? It's taste really good."

I blinked away, that little voice that used to belong to Sasuke, before lowering my vision back to my black key's on my laptop, I didn't look up but I could practically hear Sasuke's anxiety, I can practically smell the anxiety on him, he wanted to have the book now…his little Paco. I know he didn't forget about it. It might have been two day since our holding hand but I could tell he was trying to corner me the best he could, which is why I was now half the time surrounded by people or stuck in Iruka's office room. "No problem, Naruto, just don't expect me to ever do it again, okay?" Okay. I nodded, taking a French fries from Kiba's plate and look up at Sasuke as I extend my hand out, offering him the French fries. He stare at it for the longest and then he stare at my azure eyes. He slowly takes it from my hand, he sent a quick spark to my body but I didn't flinch. "Thank you, Naruto. I see you at Ebisu-Sensei class?" I nodded my head. "Good. Now come on Tenten, Ino, you were talking about…prom?"

Then they were gone leaving me alone with a confused looking Hinata Hyuuga and Kiba Inuzuka.

-Narusasu Line break-

"So let me get this straight, Sasuke? Someone stole something from you?" My chin was rested on my hand as I watch Ebisu make a huge scene about what Sasuke just told him. I guess Sasuke thought it was getting out of hand and honestly, bringing a teacher into this was the best shit he could have done. He been trying to cornering me and he been failing. He can't attack me during school times since he had an image to hold up and I usually didn't hang around after school, so he couldn't attack me after his student government crap. So he needed to find a way to get to me without ruining his image, the best way was getting a teacher. "Does anyone know about this? Do you have an idea who did such a sinful act, Sasuke?"

I looked up from my seat watching everyone eyeing each other in disgust, Ebisu was patting Sasuke's back trying to be supportive but Sasuke was already smirking happily, thinking he got me. But heck, I knew this shit was going to happen so I was prepared for anything that Sasuke and the teacher threw my way. "Well I did lose it in here…" Lies! "I ask everyone about it and everyone told me they didn't and they all let me check their locker and bags. All were honest. The only people I didn't check or even ask due to the fact I barely saw them was Kiba Inuzuka, Naruto Uzumaki, and Hinata Hyuuga." Kiba raised his eyebrow. Hinata eyes widen. "So…they might have it?"

"HINATA HYUUGA!" Hinata shrieked loudly, startle by the loud shouting and stood up; emptying out her book bag quickly then crossed her arms. Sasuke seemed bored. He knew she didn't have it, but gracefully followed Ebisu around as he inspects Hinata's things. Nothing out of ordinary was there, but Ebisu refuse to see it as that. Sasuke eyes travel until it met my eyes and then we just stared for the longest, no smile or smirk on his face, it was just a blank look. "KIBA INUZUKA!" Kiba huffed loudly, taking a quick look at my side I saw Kiba taking out his book slowly, and then I quickly raised my hand up, my eyes pasted on Sasuke's once more. "What is it Uzumaki?"

"Well yesterday, I did find a book but it didn't say Sasuke's name, so I didn't give it to him. I have it in my back pack. I can read it out loud and if it's Sasuke, he could have it? How does that sound?" Sasuke eyes widen as he slowly shook his head in disagreement, but no one seem to notice as everyone agree to my idea. Everyone saying for once the moron got an idea! Ebisu seem to be thinking over the idea but after a while of hearing the class agree and not hearing Sasuke's pleads, he agreed. Slowly digging into my pack bag, I took out Paco and flipped through the pages until I located the one I wanted. "Ebisu-sensei or should I say, closet pervert, my goodness I can't believe I am sitting down in his class every day to hear his words of wisdom while in reality as he speak, his eyes are stuck watching the female students breast. I understand how school has distractions, even I get distracted, but my god! He is our damn teacher; if he wanted to drool over Ino's or Gale breast he should do it on his…"

"What the fuck is that?" Sasuke shrieked his eyes full with panic as he tried to play off that it wasn't his book. Everyone started to mumble and whisper, meanwhile Ino and Gale started to shrieked and hid behind Sasuke, trying to create a distance from our teacher. Ebisu stared at me with shock and a bit of a blush scattering on his white skin; obviously he didn't expect to hear those words from anyone. And as much as I dislike Sasuke and as much as crude and rude his book is, he does have some good point, I couldn't help but note. It was so good; I decided to bend the corner of the book page just in case I needed to go back to it, like today, like right now because it was worth seeing Sasuke looking worried and Ebisu looking embarrassed. "That's not my book…" Sasuke concluded.

"Obviously…" Ebisu proclaimed loudly, eyeing me slowly trying to locate any hint of me lying, he didn't trust me and if anything he probably thinks I wrote the book. "Let me see the hand writing…" Sasuke tense up automatically. I closed the book, eyes pasted on Sasuke as I handed the book into Ebisu's shaky hand. He opened the book and quickly skimmed through the pages not stopping once to actually stare at the writing, which ended up being one of his big mistakes. Students change their writing for all type of occasion, from faking a parent signature from to writing a love letter, now just because it changes doesn't mean it impossible to find some similarity. Like maybe the write the 'I' with a heart dot or maybe they write in a shaky manner, I know Sasuke wrote his 'G' differently and it look more sloppy then his normal elegant writing. Not that I stare, but I just notice. I notice when I collect his class work, when I cheat off his homework, and when I look over his test. "Sasuke it's simply can't be you…"

"Can't be Sasuke, really, and why the hell not?" Kiba's voice broke the class room whisper and mumble, now everyone eyes were on him. Everyone thinking, it can't be Sasuke! He can't write that! He fucking perfect! Okay, maybe not, but it would probably be around those lines. "Sasuke is a fake!"

"I am not!" Sasuke responded in a high pitched tone, trying to give out the look of innocence and a look that showed that he was offended, when it reality, I knew he wasn't offended in the slightest. "Look, whoever wrote this, should be reported to the school dean. Writing rumors about a teacher is bad but it look like the book is chalk full of things. Give it to me, I will find out who wrote it and tell the dean. No should get away with such a…such a…"

"Sinful act that is exactly what it is!" Ebisu finished off slamming the book down in my desk, but hand stayed laid on it, as he turned to the class room to give them all a look of anger. Sasuke and I were not really paying attention to Ebisu, but mostly at the book beneath his hand, obviously, I wasn't going to give up that book and obviously, Sasuke wanted the book back, so the moment that Ebisu hand raised, we will both strike. "Tell me who in the world will write this or I will give this to our student body president and you wouldn't want that…"

"I say Sasuke did it. You're the only one who report a missing book and if I lost something with word context like that, I would report my missing book a long time ago" Kiba informed, while I nodded my head in agreement, that started whispers once more. Kiba had a point. Kiba had a good point. Sasuke eyes widen as he shook his at Ebisu, who turn to him with a judgmental eye. "Not to mention, you are way into this man. If I were you, I'll be shock in my chair trying to comprehend the situation. But you seem like you know way too much, so obviously you know something we don't." Another good point, Kiba is on a roll today. I smiled at Kiba shyly, which only made Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

"And more accessions, Kiba?" His voice was even. Not giving out any emotion really. It didn't show fake happiness nor did it show true anger, just plain, like some stranger talking about the weather. Kiba rolled his eyes and he simply shrugged, looking forward at the green chalkboard. "No? Well, I can assure you Kiba that is not my book."

"Then you don't mind if I keep it and actually giving it to the owner" I spit out quickly, cornering Sasuke once more, he quickly turn his head in my direction and slowly blinked, his onyx eyes shimmering with anger and another emotion, I couldn't quite tell what it is, but it was there.

"No, Naruto. It's doesn't belong to you."

"It doesn't belong to you either, teme!"

"True. But I am the student president which means I am in charge of the student body to make sure our school is safe and fun. Knowing a book have so much negativity ruins what I am working hard to keep, not to mention every faculty member in this school. So yeah, Naruto, as noble as you might be for wanting to protect whoever the book belongs to, there is nothing more you can do. So just give me the book. If it makes you feel better, if I find a better punishment I will not tell the school Dean, okay?" Cue in fan girl scream. Sasuke smiled at my direction but all I gave back with a look of disgust, my eyes trained on the book, waiting for an opening.

"We have freedom speech."

"That doesn't mean he or she had to write something so scandalous."

"Well…" My eyes follow the soft voice until I spotted the owner of the voice belong to Hinata, the whole time during this...ohm…fight? She was simply placing her book back in order, not bothering stepping in like Kiba or whispering in awe like Ino, she wanted to ignored and wanted to be quiet. But now…I don't know all I saw her doing was slowly stand up, making Sasuke stare at her warily, as she padded her skirt trying to get comforted with the small length. "Everything in the book are just thought and resentful statements, there not saying, Ebisu-sensei is doing anything law breaking, he simply saying what he sees. Its freedom of speech and we, the student counsel or you, the student president, or he, the teacher, can't do anything about it. All we can say is to please stop and…pray it does. Until he or she writes something…truthful, like something law breaking or something the shake up the school we can't do anything. Claiming he's a pervert is like claiming Professor Hatake is a pervert too…just words."

"He is a pervert thro!" Someone shouted in the classroom, making everyone release a laugh, I smiled slightly, he was a pervert, reading freaking porn in front of us and making bold straight and gay statement that would even make a porn star blush from head to toe. Hinata slowly turned her head to the source of voice but when she found none, she huffed and turn back to Sasuke with big eyes, almost look apologetic for proving him wrong and coming to my defends.

"I know…" Sasuke answer through his gritting teeth.

"So can I return the book to the owner when I find him, Sasuke-kun?" I cheered happily; eyes twinkling and hand touch the edge of the book, watching Ebisu slowly raise his hand. He wasn't happy, but what can he do, Hinata was right, and the book was now going back to Papi. My poor Paco…it probably missed me. Sasuke breathed out his nose, slowly, his left eyes twitching quickly before he composed his face into a happy smile.

"I guess so, Naruto!" Sasuke cheered happily, pumping his fist in the air, while I screamed happily, lifting Paco up in the air and then slowly lifting up Hinata off the ground, making her shriek in shock and happiness. Everybody started to laugh and cheer at us, especially the girls from some odd reason, but that was minor detail. Through Hinata's indigo flying hair, I took a glimpse at Sasuke who was glaring at me with a look of disgust as two guys started to talk to Sasuke in a hush tone and Aoi, he latest boy toy started to rub his back softly, friendly enough to look as friend but comforting enough to let Sasuke know 'hey I am still here for you'. But Sasuke didn't pay attention all he was staring at me. Just at me.

-Narusasu Line Break-

"Who would have thought you be a convening bitch?" I turn around quickly to stare at the people who just insulted me with ease. I would like to say, I didn't know who it was and I simply turn because I wanted to see the face of the person I would have to beat up, but it would all be a lie. I knew who it was and I only turn because it was a natural body reaction for me, when it comes to him. By him, I meant, Sasuke motherfucking Uchiha.

"What are you doing here?" I asked stuffing my shit into my back bag and quickly zipped it up, holding on to the handle but didn't place it on my shoulder just yet, but my hand did tighten every time Sasuke stepped closer to me and farther away from the door he entered through. My azure eyes narrowed quickly skimming the lay out the classroom, by now, I already knew the damn class room like I knew the back of my hand, but my eyes just did it quickly without me even thinking about it, I guess this is what you call fear?

Despite the dislike I had for Sasuke. Somewhere in my heart and mind, I still fear him. No matter how long ago the abuse and the bullying happen, I still felt like somewhere in Sasuke's mind and heart he was still the same. A bully and jerk that didn't care about the little people or the underdogs. This is what made me feel wary of him. It didn't matter how strong or how tall I became, those thoughts lingered in my hand prevented me from doing so much. It prevented me from running now. I could easily push a couple of desk in his direction and run like hell, but I didn't…scare of what if I did all that, what would happen?

"I could ask you the very same question, Mister I believe in freedom of speech," he hopped on to a desk near mine and smiled a false looking smile. I stared at him for a long time; no words disrupted the silence that we had, maybe because we were both staring at each other because we both had reason. What I was staring at was his fake smile. I knew who he really was and I knew he knew that I knew…ohm…get it? "Naruto, what is your reason."

"I didn't want to go back home so early, so I decided to read…" I lifted up a romance novel that Iruka recommended I read so I can have some farther knowledge of the feeling of love for my novel. But so far, the book was boring and too complicated to keep up, Romeo and Juliet, I just didn't get what was so great about it? The rhymes were weird too and all those sentences had double meaning that can be translated into two completely different things. It was simply just too much.

"Romeo and Juliet, classic, do you like it?" I shook my head slowly, lowering the book back onto the table. "Are you planning on ditching the book?" I nodded. "Are you planning on leaving it there?" I grinned. Yep, I was. "Why don't you like the book, it's a favorite among men and women. Is it too complicated to understand?" I didn't say anything, it was too hard for me to understand, but if I nodded and let Sasuke know…I knew he was going to think I was an idiot. "Sit down, dobe, we need to talk…"

"I don't want to talk to you" I resorted as I turn my body to exit the area I was stuck in, but before I could escape, Sasuke extend out his long legs and blocked my exit, I turn again to go the other way, but he did the same. I was stuck in between his legs. Wow. Talk about being stuck in a rock and hard place.

"You don't get much of choice here, Naruto. I lock the door; I have the keys due to my high position at this school. So why don't you make this painless and effortless as possible and just sit down. We are mature…well; I am…so we can work something out?" No we can't. Of course we can't. "Naruto…sit…" That was an order. That was an order with a stern tone that demands attention and obedience. I sighed loudly, pushing my back bag on to the ground as I hopped on to my desk, book still in hand, slowly Sasuke grabbed on to the book Romeo and Juliet and flipped through the pages. "The book is about love at first sight and love concurs all. Its takes time to understand it, it took me a while, due to the fact, the idea of love was kind of new to me, but when I finally understood it, it was worth it. I don't think you should give up on the book." Why are we talking about this? Why are we talking about love, when we could talk about anything? Like our hand holding and me kissing his cheek? Or maybe the whole book fiasco? Why about love? Hey! I am not complaining. Anything that gives me new material is good. Anything that helps me understand Romeo and Juliet is good, I was just confused. Taking a glimpse up, I spotted Sasuke staring at me from the corner of his eyes, "It's also a very good…book…because it helps you know what love might feel…what love can do to a person."

"Oh. Are you in love?" I asked automatically. I knew the answer was no. He slept with people like crazy and mess around for the hell of it, if he loved someone wouldn't he stop all this for he or she? Obviously, if he was in love, Sasuke didn't know the true meaning of it, like he claims.

"Yes."

My eyes widen. What? Since when did Sasuke have feeling for someone? This was new to me and this was shocking to me. I stared at Sasuke for the longest, watching his fake mask fall off his face, piece by piece, showing me his true warmer yet cocky self. I stared down at the book in Sasuke's hand, then I watch him flick his wrist downward, letting the book fly on top of my back bag, I stared back up at him as I whispered, "Who?" I didn't know why I whispered, it simply came out like that. Sasuke stared at me for a while before he glared once again.

"Why the fuck did you do that today? Why in the hell did you kiss my cheek and why the shit did you force me to hold your hand, Uzumaki?" I blinked. Wow! That was a change of topic. "Naruto, answers me!" I jump up off my desk out of fear and out of shock, once my ass met the desk once more; the desk couldn't hold my weight as the desk completely tilted over. Sasuke eyes widen as I shrieked and fling my arms around him. "Shit, Naruto!" I close eyes, hearing the crash of the desk and cheer behind me, and then once I heard silence, I slowly raised my head up to stare up at the onyx eyes that were staring down at me. "You are so fucking stupid."

"If I were so stupid, I wouldn't be the one holding your book as a hostage, would I, Sasuke?" I was speaking without control. But my arms wrapped around his neck tighten, no matter, how unnecessary it was now, I didn't let go and just waited for Sasuke to push me off. But he never did. His onyx eyes narrowed slightly, his trembling hands slowly moved to my side and then tighten his grip, his finger digging into my hips. "Why haven't you pushed me off?" He didn't say anything but simply stared into my eyes.

"The book is very important to me, Naruto. It has most of my deepest darkest secret…why can't you give it to me?" It did? Well, I read the book…some of it, I only pause to the read the book the moment a name I knew caught my eyes, but reading the book page to page, front to back, top to bottom, that I haven't done. So in reality, most of Sasuke's secret was still hidden but now that I knew it existed I was curious and anxious to read the book fully. "Naruto, you stupid asshole, pay attention to me, I am pleading here. I do not plead. Uchiha do not beg, so please…just give me the book!" I blink slowly and shook my head. A few simple plead and a few simple words, wasn't not going to change anything no matter how desperate he looked or sound.

"I am sorry, Sasuke, but let's be real here…" I paused and stared up at Sasuke for a minute once again, watching the flame of anger in Sasuke's eyes dwell into nothingness as he waited for my explanation. "I need you…"

"I do not want to be your boyfriend, Naruto."

"Regardless, if you do want to be or don't want to be, I still need you," I spitted out, closing my eyes tightly, leaning in closer to Sasuke to feel his body, to know he didn't escape. By now, he slowly let go of my hips and nothing but my arms was holding us together. "I dig myself into a hole and I found a way out of it. And it involves you."

"Couldn't you find anyone else?" I blinked and slowly nodded.

"I could've but I didn't. I choose you. Now, I don't understand why I did it. You are a horrible person, don't think for a second I forgot all the abuse I went through because of you, don't you think for a second I forgot how much you change! But my heart as corny as that sound and my mind choose you. And because of that, you are helping, no matter what." Sasuke scoffed and shoved me away, ripping my arms away from him, the act was long over do but, I didn't let that stop me. "I took your book because if I didn't, you would never give me the time of day! You hate me as much as I hate you!"

"I do not hate you, Naruto…"

"Stop lying to me, you do! And I hate you too, so I take no offense!" I am lying here. I do not hate Sasuke, if I did, I wouldn't be here pouring out my heart and pleading for his attention if I did. I think the words I could use to describe it would be, dislike or maybe scared, but hate wasn't it. But whatever to make Sasuke come to my side, I'll say whatever. "To be completely honest with you, the day we met in the hallway, the day Itachi found you fighting me was going to be the day I was going to ask for your help. Taking your book wasn't part of my plan and truthfully, I didn't know I even had it with me until I opened it and read some of it at home. Sasuke, I am sorry, I really am, but as long as this book bring us closer, fighting or holding hands, I am going to keep the book."

"Reasonable enough," he answer a few second I finish my explanation and eyed me for a few second before speaking in such a hush tone, I needed to lean over to hear him. "But is there any way possible I can get my book yet satisfy you. Please, Naruto. That book is very important to me."

"I don't know."

"Did you read anything from it, other than the Ebisu thing?"

I blinked a few time, before looking to the left and started to count some of the desk, then turn back to Sasuke the moment I felt a warm hand grabbed mine, it wasn't like the first time we did it, this time it was rough and more like a slap and quick grip like he was trying to snap me back to reality. I rolled my eyes and slowly turn to him to spot Sasuke giving me a pleading look. "I read some, like what you did with some people and what people done to you. Read some of your thoughts but nothing big, why?"

"What do you need me for? You never really clarified what you need me for?" I stare at him as I sigh once more.

"This is going to be a shitload."
