Ch 4
"Your homeless aren't you?" 'What? He knows. But how. And why? Shit what do I do? I can't think straight. Damnit.' thought Sasuke.
Sasuke's face was priceless. Naruto had never seen a person as amusing as this one. Sasuke was just full of surprises. But then again, he wasn't exactly surprised. In fact he had known from the start. "So I was right. Well I guess it can't be helped then." Naruto pulled his car out of the drive way and drove off with Sasuke still shocked stiff. "Can you stop gaping like a fish Sasuke. Its creepy." laughed Naruto. "W..where are we going?" asked Sasuke, scared of the answer. "My place." Naruto replied nonchalantly. "Your place. Why?" "Because I can't have you out on the streets alone. Especially now that the Akastuki has seen you. If fact its better this way. Easy to keep you safe this way. I'm assuming you have all your stuff with you so later we will have to get you clothing and other necessities because you wardrobe is sadly lacking in, well, everything. We can go get it all after we get cleaned up a bit." "No. Its fine. I'll be OK. You don't have to worry about me." Sasuke rushed. "You think I'm doing this for you? No I'm doing this for me. I can't have to keep worrying if the Akatsuki have gotten to you because if they do they will defiantly use you against us and we can't lose any ground now. So you'll be staying at my place until further notice. And you are not to mention what went on to anyone unless absolutely necessary. Got it?" growled Naruto. "Yes sir." said Sasuke dejectedly. Naruto looked up to see hurt in Sasuke's eyes and it just about broke him. 'What the fuck. Why do I care if I offended him. I must be tired.'
Sasuke felt a jolt at Naruto's sudden outburst. 'So he doesn't really care about me. Why am I so hurt by that. God what is going on with me.' They stayed silent for the rest of the drive. Sasuke looked out the window, deep in thought, not really seeing his surroundings until Naruto parked the car. "Oh my fucking god that is the biggest house I have ever seen!" The house was four stories and huge. It was a plain white color with about a million windows. The lawn was huge as well. Big enough to put a three car garage on and still have plenty of space, not that Naruto needed a three car garage when he had a five car garage, which was directly in front of the car. Parked next to it was a cherry red Ferrari and a black jeep. "Dude how the hell do you pay for all this shit?" "We can talk about that later."
The inside of the house was even grander,if that was even possible. It was filled with Italian imported leather furniture. There were four floors, making the house more of a mansion then a house. The first floor had the basic living room, kitchen, two bathrooms, two closets and a foyer. Naruto immediately walked up the stairs, not checking to see if Sasuke was following. He didn't stop on the second floor but continued up to the third. Sasuke scrambled to catch up with the blond when he practically ran into the young teen. Naruto was waiting, rather impatiently at the top of the third staircase. Sasuke looked around and noticed ten rooms. The first nine had numbers on them, from one to nine, while the last was blank. "That one's your. Number nine is mine. If you value your life you'll stay off the fourth floor and the other eight rooms." said Naruto swiftly. "Tomorrow after school we can go to get you clothing and other things." Sasuke just sat there for a minute, unsure what to say. When he regained his wits the blond was already gone. 'Well this is great. Could he be in a more cheery mood?' He walked into his new room and couldn't help but gape. It was huge. Rather plain but huge all the same. The king sized bed sat centered along the back wall. On his right was a door that led into the walk in closet. To his left was a door leading to a full out bathroom, fully stocked, with a garden tube and a separate shower. 'Jesus this guy. How the fuck does he pay for all this shit?' "Sasuke! Get your lazy ass down here or starve. Foods on the table! Your choice!" yelled Naruto. Sasuke walked down the stairs and into the living room to find Naruto sitting on the coach, digging into a 6 meat stuffed crust pizza. "you gonna stand there or you gonna come eat?" asked the blond, obviously annoyed. Sasuke sat down and stared at him. "What?" he asked with a mouthful of pizza. "What happened tonight?" "Listen Sasuke. I'm not exactly sure what I am able to tell you. Just sit tight for a few days and I'll explain." "Fuck no. You explain now or I'm leaving!" "Fine. If you must, the door is right there. You can go back to being a homeless prick for all I care. Excuse me for trying to help you out. I'll just keep my offers to myself from now on." Naruto was pissed. 'How dare he come into my house and demand answers. If he wants to leave go right on ahead.' "Fine then. I'm out!" Sasuke ran up and out the front door before he could even think.
Sasuke ran down the road and to the left. He didn't think about where he was going, only that he got out. He couldn't think. He didn't want to. Naruto's anger scared him. He didn't realize it but he ran down so many streets he didn't know where he was anymore. He stopped running and looked around himself clearly lost until he felt a hand on his shoulder.
Sasuke jumped about a mile high, spun around, and just stared at a young male redhead and a young raven. "Gaara? Utakata?" "Sasuke what are you doing here?" asked gaara "I was gonna stay at Naruto's pace but he got all pissed when I started asking questions. He started yelling and told me I could leave, so I ran out the door before thinking. Now he's pissed at me and I don't know what to do!" Gaara just stared at Sasuke. He didn't know why but he felt he could trust them. He didn't know how but he knew they would help him. Gaara looked at him before asking in an amazed voice "He told you to stay at his place!" "Didn't I just say that?" Gaara's face seemed impassive but Utakata's showed how amazed he truly was. "So you mean Naruto actually came out and said you can come crash at my place?"asked Utakata "Well ya. Why, is something wrong with that?" "No it's just...Naruto has trust issues. He's never truly trusted anybody. Not even the others, and were all like a big ass family. So excuse me for being just a tab bit surprised that he offered. And as for the predicament of Naruto's anger, I hope you can forgive him. He has come along way, and the fact that he trusts anyone at all is surprising. He has some serious issues with people abandoning him, which I won't get into now, but he doesn't like to get close to people. People he gets close to tend to leave him. A lot. The 8 of us are the only people Naruto has ever had stick around for longer then about a year. Seemed like everytime Naruto started trusting someone, they just picked up and left him behind, so he decided to just stop." Sasuke just started at the redhead. "Sasuke he's not angry with you. He's scared is all. He doesn't wanna get hurt again."added Gaara"What about you guys? You all have rooms of your own there, don't you?" "Well yes. but that's different. That serves a general purpose. I'm not sure what all Naruto has told you so I'm not gonna get into details but those rooms were not offered by Naruto's own choice. The whole house was bought for the sole purpose of finding a place for all 9 of us to stay when the need arose. But we don't really stay for longer then a week or two tops. So you and the 9 of us are different. Naruto feels he owes it to us to do this. Not you." Sasuke stared shocked. "But Naruto said he was taking me in to protect the rest of you!" "Don't tell him I said this but that is total bullshit. He did this for you. He's just hiding that fact behind some other logical reason in hope of protecting himself. Naruto acts like the big bad, even though he totally is, but he gone through a lot and is still insecure is some rare occurrences like this." replied Uta. "Oh. I didn't know." "And you still don't know. got it? We did not talk to you today. We are trusting you Sasuke. If you betray us we won't forgive you. You hurt Naruto and I will personally break every bone in your body." "Yes sir. This conversation never happened. Now if only I could find my way back to Naruto's I could apologize." "Fine. we'll drive you there." replied Gaara with a monotonous voice.
Meanwhile:
'Why do I care if he left. This just goes to show that I was an idiot to trust him. I should have just left him at the school like he asked. Then this never would have happened. I never should have let him sit at that table. Sasuke's gonna leave, just like HE did. I was an idiot to think he'd be any different. But why am I getting so worked up about it. I barley know him. Why should I care?' Naruto could hardly hold back his tears. He never cried. He stopped crying years ago. 'Stop it. Crying gets you no where. You need to just suck it the hell up and move on.' he scolded himself.
The blond had just regained his composer when there was a knock at the door. he calmly walked over, opened the door, only to see the raven was back. " What the fuck do you want?" Naruto growled. 'Great. I knew he'd be mad.' Sasuke thought with a grimace. "I came to apologize. I was out of line back there. I had no right to come into your home and start demanding things like that." "Damn right you didn't. Great you've apologized. Now leave." "Listen Naruto. I'm really sorry. I'm just a little confused is all. I didn't think back there. I just acted. I hope you can forgive me." naruto looked at the raven for a while. It was only a moment but Sasuke felt like it had been hours. Finally after what had seemed like forever, the blond turned around and headed to the living room, leaving Sasuke in the door way. After a moment naruto turned and asked with a teasing tone "Well, can you please get in my house before i grow a beard and die 4 times over? Preferably this year." Sasuke walked in and sat down next to he blond. Very tentatively he asked " so who were those guys anyway. and what do they have to do with you?" "Sasuke I don't wanna talk about this now." "Naruto, I wanna help you." "Why. I can handle myself. I've done just fine till now." "So? Your my friend and I wanna help you." Naruto's head shot up. "What did you say?" "I said your my friend and I wanna help you."
Naruto sat down on his coach, inviting the other man to join him. "Naruto," he said "Why won't you talk to me. Why won't you let me help you?" "Because," the blond replied, "I don't need your help. I can handle myself. I've been fine till now." "So? your my friend and I wanna help you."
The blond just sighed. "Listen. I don't wanna talk about this without the guys first OK. Just wait till then. I'll explain when I can." "Alright. I can wait." The rest of the day went rather boring. They sat and ate their food in silence until finally Sasuke asked "So what's on the 2ND floor?" Naruto got a funny grin on his face, grabbed Sasuke's arm and drug him up the stairs.
