Sorry it's taken me so long to update this story. Between college applications, scholarship essays, and exams it's been crazy. The writer's block was killing me. So I decided to make this chapter a little longer than the others as an apology for it being so late.

This is a SasuNaru story. If you don't like it don't read.

I don't own Naruto. Only in my dreams.

I apologize for any spelling/grammar errors.

'Thought'

Now, here's chapter 4


Sasuke was cleaning his room, making sure that it was spik and span. His parents may not like Naruto but they still had standards for when guests come over and since Naruto would be sleeping in Sasuke's room, it had to be spotless.

The Uchiha's didn't believe in hiring someone to clean for them. They figured if you paid someone else to do it you were lazy. They also just didn't like people touching their stuff.

Itachi and Sai were in charge of cleaning up the living room and kitchen. Sasuke laughed as he remembered the look on their faces when they saw him that morning.

*Flashback*

Sasuke woke up and started stretching and yawning. He winced after he yawned because his lip was sore after getting the piercing.

He ran his fingers through his newly shortened hair. Suddenly, he got a chill and looked down at himself. He was only wearing a pair of black boxers and the air conditioner was on. No wonder he was cold.

Sasuke grabbed a hoodie and headed down the stairs for breakfast. When he got to the kitchen, Itachi and Sai were already eating.

"You guys couldn't wait for me?" Sasuke said sarcastically as he walked to the cabinet. He didn't really expect them to wait, he just felt like teasing.

"Of course not." Itachi said, looking up. "Why would we do-"

Sasuke, who pouring himself a bowl of Cap'n Crunch (whoever said Uchihas don't like sweets.), felt eyes on his back and turned around slowly.

What he saw he would burn into his memory to laugh at for the rest of time.

Itachi and Sai were staring at him, eyes wide, mouths open. It was a look he had never seen on their faces before.

"What did you do?" Sai whispered.

"I dyed and cut my hair and got my lip pierced." Sasuke answered calmly as he sat down next to Sai with his cereal.

"Why?!" said Itachi, who was still slightly in shock.

"I thought I would look cool."

"It does look nice." Sai said leaning over to touch the lip ring. Sasuke winced when he did.

"Don't touch it!"

"Oh, my bad. Did I hurt it?"

"No shit, Sherlock. I only got the thing a few hours ago."

"Oh really?" asked Itachi, while Sai was eyeing Sasuke cereal. "Have mother and father seen it yet?"

"Yea, they saw it when I got home last night. They are such creepers (1), sitting in the dark trying to surprise me. Too bad I already knew they would be there. They're very predictable. AND STAY AWAY FROM MY FOOD SAI OR I'LL STAB YOU WITH MY SPOON!!"

Sai "Epped" and slide back into his seat.

"How do you stab someone with a spoon?" Itachi asked, raising a dark eye brow.

"I don't know, but I would have found a way."

Itachi chuckled lightly at his little brother antics and continued eating his breakfast, while Sai sulked in his chair, not having stolen some of the Cap'n Crunchy goodness.

Soon all three boys had finished eating and they started to clean.

*End Flashback*

It was now around 3 o'clock and Sasuke was in a nervous, excited state. He couldn't wait for Naruto to get there, but he was afraid that his parents would scare them off. Sasuke didn't have many friends and the ones he did have he didn't invite over. The only friend who'd ever been over was Neji. And that's because their families were friends.

'I haven't talked to Neji in awhile. I need to call him later and tell him everything that had happened. You should never neglect the old friends for the new ones. I'll probably introduce him to Naruto later'

Unexpectedly, Sasuke had another thought, 'It feels like I'm bringing a boyfriend home.' Sasuke blushed, and then pushed it down. Uchihas didn't blush.

Suddenly the doorbell rang, causing Sasuke to jump. He shook himself. He'd been jumpy lately. He needed to calm down and relax.

Sasuke walked to the window and looked out to see who it was. The person outside could have been Naruto. He did tell him to come around this time.

When Sasuke looked down all he saw was a big blond puff. It's Naruto.'

Now Sasuke was nervous for a whole new reason. "I NEED TO BEAT EVERYONE TO THE DOOR!' and with that thought Sasuke ran to the end of the hallway. When he got there he skid to a stop and peaked slowly around the corner. When he saw that the coast was clear he ran to the next corner. He continued this little dance until he got to the front door. He had to be the person to let Naruto in. His parents would probably glare at the poor kid until he ran home, crying. However, Itachi and Sai…

Sasuke didn't even want to think about how badly they would scar him. Probably for the rest of his life. So Sasuke checked to make sure the coast was clear one last time, and then opened the door.

Upon opening the door, there stood Naruto, who was giving Sasuke a small scowl. (2)

"Hey Naruto."

"You teme, what took so long?" Naruto said scowling more. Inwardly Sasuke tilted his head to the side. What did teme mean.

"Hn, I was making sure the coast was clear."

Naruto looked puzzled. "Clear of what?"

"My family. Anyway, come in." Sasuke said as he stepped to the side to make room for Naruto.

When Naruto walked in, he stopped and looked around. "You have a very nice home." he said. It was true, the Uchiha's did have a very nice home. They lived in a Victorian style home. It wasn't too big or too small. The perfect sized home for four people with extra room for whenever they had guests.

"Thanks." Sasuke replied, "Come on. We'll put your stuff in my room." And he walked down the hall and up the stairs with Naruto right on his heels.

Once they got to Sasuke's room Sasuke told Naruto to put his stuff by the bed. When Naruto was finished he took a few steps back and did a run and jump onto Sasuke's bed. Sasuke laughed at Naruto random act.

"Hey teme." Sasuke raised and eyebrow and said "Yes?" this was new. It seemed that he had been given a nickname. No one ever dared to do that. And he still didn't know what it meant. "Later on this week, there's this thing that my friend is having. Do you want to come with me?

"Sure. Can I bring a friend with me?"

For a second Naruto looked a bit dejected, but as fast as it came it was gone. "Yea, why not?"

"So what do you want to do?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto sat for a moment, thinking. Suddenly a sly smile appeared on his face, making his cheek bones look higher and his eyes narrower. He looked just like a fox.

'This can't be good.' Sasuke thought.

"Do you have any water guns?" There was a mischievous sparkle in Naruto eyes.

Sasuke leaned back a little, a tad afraid and said, "No, I don't believe we do."

"Do you mind if we go to the store to get some?" Naruto asked innocently.

'This really can't be good.'

"Um…sure. Which store do you want to go to?"

"Wal-mart."

"Okay then, Wal-mart it is."

Sasuke grabbed his keys and the boys proceeded down the stairs.

When they were walking past the living room Sasuke noticed that Naruto wasn't the only guest over. Itachi and Sai's friends Deidra, Kisama, and Sasori were there as well. He didn't hear the doorbell ring so they must have just walked in. (3)

'Well, I might as well introduce everyone now and get it over with.'

Sasuke walked into the living room, Naruto following behind, since he didn't know his way around the house.

Itachi was the first person to notice them. "Hey little brother. Who's your friend?"

Sasuke gave a small sigh and said, "Everyone this is Naruto. Naruto that's my mother Mikoto, my father Fuguka , my brother Itachi, cousin Sai, and their friends Deidra, Kisame, and Sasori." Naruto gave them a small smile and a wave.

"Aw come on Sassy Cat. Aren't we your too?" Deidra said with a false sweetness.

"No." A snort was heard from behind Sasuke. He turned around and saw Naruto with his eyes turned upward toward the ceiling and his shoulders and lips trembling. Sasuke shot him a glare, which Naruto ignored, and turned back around to everyone else.

"Anyway… what are you doing here?" Instead of Deidra answering Fuguka did.

"Well, you're having your friend stay over so why not Itachi and Sai's friends too." When he finished he had a smug look on his face.

"Whatever." Sasuke said with a shrug, making his father deflate a little.

"So, um, Naruto and I are going to Wal-Mart. Do you and mom want anything?"

"No thank you, sweetie." Mikoto said sweetly. Sasuke gave her a small smile. Now that was the mother he remembered.

"What are you getting?" The question was directed toward Naruto.

"Oh nothing really, Uchiha-san." Everyone in the room, except Sasuke, gave him a funny look.

"You ready?" Sasuke asked him.

"Yea whenever you –"The look was back. The sly look from upstairs, only it was back three times as strong, making his eyes shine evilly.

'This really, really can't be good.'

Sasuke finally had to ask, "What are you planning?"

Naruto gave him the most innocent look ever, making his eyes big and shiny, like a child.

"Nothing." Naruto said, then suddenly the innocence was gone, the sly smirk back ten fold as he ran put of the room with a cackling laugh towards the way he thought the garage might be.

"Get back here!" Sasuke shouted as he ran after the laughing boy.

Everyone else just stared.

"I have a bad feeling." Sai said.

Everyone nodded their heads. All of a sudden Kisame said, "Did Sasuke always have that hair color?"


Sasuke and Naruto just got back from the store when they walked in from the garage into the kitchen.

Naruto, who had a happy little grin on his face, walked to Sasuke's room with some plastic bags. Sasuke, on the other hand, looked on the verge of death. He plopped down on a chair at the kitchen table and banged his head on it. Itachi, Sai, and their friends walked in.

"What the hell happened to you?" Kisame asked.

Sasuke turned his head to the side, placing his cheek on the table, to look at them and said, "You don't want to know, but F.Y.I. I'm banned from Wal-Mart."

"What?!"

"Yea..."

"Where's Naruto?" Sasori asked.

"I think I saw him go upstairs." Sai said. As soon as he said that Sasuke's head snapped up and he ran out of the room yelling, "NARUTO YOU BETTER NOT GET ANYTHING WET!"

"I WON'T!" Naruto yelled back.

"I wonder what those two are planning."

Later on they all found out when they met the end of a water gun.


Later on that afternoon, around eleven, after everyone had dried off and finished beating the shit out of Sasuke and Naruto, all of the boys and the parents were in the family room watching movies.

Mikoto had just asked everyone if they wanted a snack. Everyone shouted out an answer except Naruto. "Naruto." She said. She had finally started to warm up to him. "Do you want anything?"

"Oh, no thank you, Uchiha-san."

When Mikoto had left for the kitchen, Fuguka decided to put Naruto on the spot. "Why do you keep on calling us Uchiha-san? Are you one of those Japan obsessed people?"

Naruto looked shocked. He wasn't expecting to be put on blast (4) like that.

"N-no I'm not. I lived in Japan until I was fifteen. I part Japanese, my father was French. It's just a habit to use san when giving respect."

"So that means you're fluent?"

"Yes, sir. In French as well."

"So you sing right?" Kisame asked, "Can you sing in Japanese?"

"Yea, usually. But I can't sing at all right now, because I strained my voice last night. I have videos though."

"Can you show us?" Deidra asked.

"Yea." And Naruto ran upstairs to Sasuke's room to grab his Ipod. When he came back, he plugged it up to the TV. (5)

"This is around the time I first moved here, back when our drummer could actually play." Naruto said bitterly.

"You mean Kabuto?" Sasuke asked. Everyone was a bit surprised that Sasuke actually knew what he was talking about.

"No, this was our very first drummer. He quit when he went to college. He had to because his school was so far away."

After Naruto fiddled around with his Ipod an image appeared on the TV of a room fill of red flashing lights.

"The name of the song is 'Scars.'" And with that Naruto pushed play.

'The strumming of bass and guitar can be heard. Pink and red lights are flashing over the stage. Naruto steps out of the shadows with a glowing guitar. He is mumbling into the microphone, making the audience go crazy. (6) Shikamaru is singing a quick background part next to him.'

Sasuke turned his head slightly to the side and saw Naruto moving his mouth to the words, eyes transfixed onto the screen.

'The drums are added, the sound of the guitars change. The whole stage is illuminated. Shikamaru is screaming into the microphone. "Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeaaah."

Then Naruto starts to sing. (7)

"Kuchibiru kara
kobore ochiru
sabitatsu no kakera
shita ni nokoru
sono nigami ga
kizu wo kojiakeru"

He was swinging his hips to the music and Naruto and Shikamaru start to sing in unison.

"Nagashikome
ima CELLULOID no yume wo
fusagaru kizuato ni yonmoji no TATTOO

Zure hajimeta
RHYTHM no naka
midare odoru
MELODY
kakechigai no BUTTON de sae
kizukazu
kanade tsuzuketa
iro no nai hana ni
mamirete odore
yokotawaru uta ni KISS wo ataeyo"'

The Uchihas and co. were surprised that Naruto's voiced could sound so deep and angry. Everyone took their eyes off the screen at one point or another and looked at Naruto. He was still mouthing the words, his arms wrapped around his legs, chin on his knees, eyes closed, head bopping to the music.

"Kaze ni tokete nagareru
omae no yokogao
kirisaite yaritai to kizuguchi wo hoshigaru
kimi no kowareta MELODY nido to majiwarazu
kietekure saken demo
asu mo mata
onaji kage wo kita mama de"

Kiba suddenly stared singing.

"Dead Poem's Still Alive
Dead Poem's Still Alive into me
Dead Poem's Still Screamin'
Dead poem's Still screamin' into me"

Then came the guitar solos. Naruto, Shikamaru, Kiba, and TenTen played perfectly in sync. Naruto and Kiba are both playing guitar and Shikamaru and TenTen both play bass, but different parts. The mystery drummer plays a small piece in the background. Naruto is singing again.

"Nido to kataru koto mo nai
katachi ni inori wo
magiremonaku
itsukushimi wo
wakachi atta hibi wo Oh yeah Yeaaaaaaaah"'

Suddenly Sasuke heard a sound next to him and turned to see what it was and apparently the whole room heard because everyone turned their heads.

They were all surprised to find out that it was Naruto singing. His voice was a bit gravely, proof that he did, indeed, strain it, but it still sounded good.

'"Love Brilliant Scars
Paint Brilliant tomorrow
Sing Brilliant song for myself"'

Naruto's eyes were still closed. He seemed to be in his own world.

The whole group jumped when the video ended because it ended with a scream

'"DEAD POEM!"

The stage fades to black.'

The Ipod cut off and went back to the list of videos and Naruto got up off the couch to collect his belongings. While doing so he gave a small yawn.

Upon seeing him yawn Mikoto looked at the clock and notice it was around twelve-thirty.

"Okay everyone." She said, "It's getting late. You don't have to go to sleep, but go to your rooms and don't be too loud."

Everyone said okay, got up and went to where ever they were sleeping for the night. Sasuke and Naruto went to Sasuke's room and change into their pajamas.

They both crawled into Sasuke's bed. After he'd gotten comfortable Sasuke had to ask, "Naruto, who was that drummer?"

There was silence for a few moments, then he replied, "My older brother." Then he turned over on his side and promptly fell asleep.

"Sasuke lay there for a few more minutes, processing this new information, and then sleep captured him as well.

But not before he had made his decision.


1 A person with stalker like qualities, weird looking, and very touchy at times. This word is a permanent part of my friends' and my vocabularies.

2 Imagine how long it must've taken Sasuke to get to the door while he was playing 'spy'.

3 My friends do this. One time my friend ,Sammi, just walked in and yelled "I'm home!" I just looked at her and walked away.

4 It means to be put on the spot or have your business put out for everyone near to know.

5 I don't know if this is possible.

6 I don't have lyrics to this part because the version I'm using is live and this was an added on. You should check it out on Youtube.

7 If anyone goes to watch this video just to be clear Naruto is singing the lead singer's part and playing the lead guitarists part (he's the guy in the pink-LOVE HIM) and Shikamaru is singing the guy in the pinks part. His name is hide!!! :3

The song is "Scars" by X-Japan. It's a really good song.

Here's the link to the video. I hope you like this song as much as I do.

I plan on making the trip to Wal-Mart a side story.

I hope everyone likes this chapter. I worked really hard on it.
