Yes, Yondaime is very harsh. No, he has never struck Naruto, but he has forced him to do hard labor. Yondaime, in the story, expects Naruto to be perfect and wants no failure, because his wife was a perfectionist and turned him into one. This is why he offered to take Sasuke in, so he would look like a perfect father. Mind you, he did not adopt Sasuke, so they are not related by law or by blood. But Now that Kashina is dead, he kinda takes it over board with the perfectionism, and pushes Naruto to his limits. What happen to Sasuke's parents will be introduced in this chapter and taken into depth in later chapters. What happened to Naruto's mom will be releaved later as well, and it's a real twist! Can you guess? Anyway, thank you for reading, cluelessninja65!

ch 1, Nice first chap! This seems like it is going to be a good fic! Naru's dad seems a little like a jerk. Oh and does he make Naru work out so he stays looking like a jock, or is it because he is a small person and he wants Naru to end up looking like a jock? Well anyway I can't wait to read the next chap! Please updated super soon, and thanks for putting this up in the first place.

ANSWERED IN THIS CHAPTER!

ONWARD, HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will you still see me,
when i'm down and out?
Still carving your name in the sand,
guided by lover's hand,
and my tears harden in the grains.
Awkward scilences always bothered Naruto. They happend frequently between him and Yondaime, but Naruto never seemed to get used to them, which included tonight. Sasuke sat at the table, gingerly picking at the food that had been presented to him. Naruto chewed on the thick slap of roast that his father had put on his plate - and was expecting him to burn off later - while all Sasuke had eaten was his potatoes. Yondaime was the first to speak.
"So, Uchiha-san...how did you end up in that orphanage?" Yondaime asked, swallowing his own meat. Sasuke glanced up and said.
"They didn't die, if that's what you mean. They disowned me." Yondaime uncomfortably cleared his throat. Naruto stopped chewing on his food and looked at Sasuke. No emotion. Like it didn't even matter that his parents cast him out like garbage. Wasn't it painful at all for him? Naruto looked down at his food, and swallowed, deciding to change the subject.
"Sasuke-san, why aren't you eating? It's good, I swear." He said, trying to muster a grin. Sauske glanced at the blonde's goofy smile and looked back towards his plate.
"I'm a vegitarian. I don't eat meat." he huffed. Naruto looked over at his father, who was, as expected, going to say something. Yondaime laughed hartily, as if it was a big joke.
"No wonder you're so skinny, Uchiha-san. The body needs meat, or it won't build muscles. That's why I make sure Naruto gets plenty o' meat and does his routine work outs. He's a slacker, though. That's why he's almost as thin as you are!" Yondaime laughed again. Sasuke glared.
"Meat dosen't make muscles, Uzamaki-sama. Protein does. And you can get protein from things other than meat." Yondaime gave him an odd look, as if he didn't know whether to get angry or not. Sasuke grumbled something about Naruto as well, but it was too low to understand. Sasuke stood. "Can I be excused?" He said, not waiting for an answer as he tromped upstairs. Yondaime stabbed his fork into his meat and ripped it into his mouth with his teeth. Naruto quickly finished his meal and followed his roommate upstairs.
When he walked in, Sasuke was sitting on his bed, next to the window, a cigerette hanging from his lip. Naruto didn't even bother to ask him to put it out. At least he had opened the window. He sat down next to Sasuke, and Sasuke didn't even glance at him.
"Listen..." Naruto said. Sasuke took his cigerette out of his mouth and turned himself to look at him. Sasuke's deep black eyes were laced with pain, and it was obvious he'd been crying. A tear still lingered on his cheek. Naruto felt sympathy for him, as saddness formed in his gut. Naruto cleared his throat, unsure of what to say. "...Back there, when you were mumbling...what did you say?" Sasuke took a drag off his cigerette and smirked.
"I said that you were only thin because you were tall, and blessed with lean muscles insted of bulky ones like your father." Naruto felt himself blush. He didn't know why Sasuke would want to stick up for him. Sasuke shook his head, another tear flowing down his face. "Ya' know, my father was like him. Life's a bitch, huh?" Naruto felt his heart go out to Sasuke. Poor thing...
"You'll be okay. I'm here, too." Naruto said, gently wiping a tear from the smaller boy's face. Sasuke smiled at the kind gesture.
"Thanks.'' He mumbled, still unsure of what to make of Naruto's sudden kindness. He may be an idiot, but he's a kind idiot. And cute, too...
Naruto took the cigerette from Sasuke's lips and looked at it amusedly.
"Why do you smoke these things? Are they any good?" he asked. Sasuke smiled.
"Why don't you find out?" Naruto looked down at the roll of burning tabacco and shrugged, bringing it to his lips and inhaling deeply. He immedeitly started hacking, handing Sasuke back the cigerette between violent coughs. Sasuke laughed, once again dropping it out the window. Naruto bit his lip, but didn't say much of anything. Sasuke sighed.
"I started smoking at some point. I don't even remember, I must have picked it up back in the old days, and decided I liked it an kept doing it. I became pretty much addicted to it, much to the displeasure of my father." Sasuke huffed.
"You're father?" Naruto asked.
--------------------------------
"Sasuke, I've told you before never to be late past curfew. Now you come back smelling like cheap cologne. What? Are you stealing from general stores for cheap bottles of sented water? Or maybe you were with that Gaara kid?" Sasuke's father bellowed, shadowing his small-framed son, who refused to look him in the eyes. He cringed at the mention of Gaara, because he knew where this would lead. "What's even worse is you come back looking like a...a slut! Is that women's eyeliner? Fishnets? I told you to stop hanging out with that Sabakuno Gaara, and now he's turned you into a regular faggot!" Sasuke glared, steping forward threateningly.
"It's not his fault that you failed to notice that I AM GAY! I don't like vagina! But it's not like you ever notice anytihng about me, anyway! You're too preocupied with Nii-san! And Gaara didn't TURN me gay! I was like that from the begining! And you can't stop me from seeing him! Hell, I might even go out right now and bang him just to piss you off! Huh? Sound slutty enough now? Not like you'd care if I was a virgin or not!" Sasuke didn't get farther than that. His father slapped the taste out of his mouth, causing him to fall backwards, and blood dripped through his fingers as he tried to cover his lips. He walked over and yanked Sasuke up by his hair. Sasuke howled, clawing like a wild animal at his father's fist.
"Little skank. Why can't you be like Itachi?" He hissed in Sasuke's ear, then tossing him back like a rag doll.
"I'm not a-"
"Just shut up. We were perfectly happy before you came along. Now look at all the trouble you've caused. Who do you think we're doing this for? We don't want you. We don't need you. You should have never been born."
----------------------------------
The sky was bright as the sun rose. It shone down over every blade of dewy grass and every flower, whose petals opened as if to greet the new day brought by the sun. It's golden rays, like tiny fingers, slipped through the glass windows of Uzumaki Naruto's room and pried at his eyes, carressed his cheek, bekoning him to wake and join it on this peaceful day.
That peace would not last.
Naruto slowly awoke, but did not open his eyes. He hissed at the sun's welcome, and tuned in his sheets. He never remembered them being so warm before. He culddled into them. He felt his legs brush against something soft and smooth, his cheek warmed by the same touch. He opened his eyes to find he was cuddling into Sasuke's neck, their legs entwined. Naruto paniced, jumping up and hitting his head on Sasuke's chin in the process.
"Ouch! What the fuck?" Sasuke cursed, rubbing his chin as he looked at the very bewildered Naruto.
"We...we were all...cuddled up together!" Naruto said. Sasuke looked at him as if annoyed.
"Is that all? Hm, no wonder I was enjoying such a deep, warm sleep until someone woke me up!" Sasuke, said turning over to go back to sleep.
"You...you didn't do anything to me, did you?" Sasuke sprang up and glared at him.
"As if! We just feel asleep, ok? It was nothing! Grow up. Just because I'm gay, doesn't mean I'm rapist." He said, getting out of bed and making his way toward the bathroom. Sasuke cell phone began to ring on the desk.
"Are you gonna get that?" Naruto asked.
"Naw, just leave it. I haven't bothered to answer it for days." Sasuke said, shuting the door behind him. Naruto rubbed his eyes as Sasuke's phone continued to play bubbly techno music. Naruto grumbled. What an annoying ring tone. Must match the person calling this early. Why haven't they hung up yet? It's obvious Sasuke isn't going to answer. Naruto got up and streached, rasing his arms above his head and yawning. The techno music rung on. Naruto decided he was sick of the music, and walked over to Sasuke phone to answer it and was planning give whoever was on the other side an earful. Just as he had his fingers on the phone, the music sudden stoped, and the phone announced that Sasuke had missed a call. Then it flickered to the main screen, which said he had twenty-seven missed calls. Geez, you'd think a guy would pick up the phone every once and a while!
The water in the shower hissed, and Naruto realised Sasuke must be taking a shower. Naruto himself was a nighttime shower person, and wouldn't take a shower until later. Naruto pulled open his dresser, ruffling through his clothes. He was pulling out a pair of jeans when he heard a clunk come from within his dresser drawer. He reached in and felt something cold and smooth on his hands, like metal. He picked it up and smiled. This was his most prised posession, the only thing he loved that he kept hidden from his father. He pulled the small camcorder from his dresser, and ran his fingers over the front panel. He opened it, and it clicked on. Then he remembered this hiss of the shower...
She walked across, the street, checking her phone so busily she almost missed the address she was looking for. She stopped in front of a house, and frowed. It was almost too perfect. She kicked her boots at it. The boots were leather, and went all the way to her knees, which then showed striped tights. She wore a black, belted corset dress with pink pettycoats underneath, making her look like a gothic ballerina. She squeezed a leather-clad fist, avoiding her lond fingernails which were painted black. Summoning her courage, she walked up to the front door and knocked loudly. After waiting for a few minute, a man answered the door. He was tall, with bulky muscles, but blonde hair and soft blue eyes. He blinked at her a few times, then said,
"Who are you?" She smiled.
"I'm looking for Uchiha Sasuke. My name is Sakura. Haruno Sakura."
