Aladdin: Sasunaru Style!
Chapter 3

"This should be far enough," night had fallen while the trio had been busy running down alleyways and lying low. They were currently resting in silence on the roof of a dilapidated building after a long day of running from angry shopkeepers.

The silence was disturbed by the dark-haired prince saying, "Thank you."

The fair-haired hobo stopped playing with his pet fox to give his full attention to his other companion. He smiled his sunshine-smile, teeth and all, before getting to his feet and dusting his pants.

"No problem. My name's Uzumaki Naruto. What's yours?"

The prince contemplated for awhile. Should he give his real name or not? If he did, the other man might recognise him and send him back to the palace…not that he could even if he tried his hardest. He knew he could take the other on and knock him out before escaping. He looked the other up and down and confirmed his thoughts. The blond was shorter than him but not by much, maybe three fingers? He was muscular but not overly so. His muscles were only visible every time he flexed. His exposed torso revealed a broad, hairless chest and the outline of his abs. He would have looked further but the other was already calling for his attention.

"Hello? Did you hear me?"

"Uchiha Sasuke," he waited for the light of revelation to flicker in his eyes or the frantic decision to bow before him. It didn't come.

"See it's not so hard to talk to me right," Naruto beamed at him and walked to the other end of the roof. Sasuke was left dumbfounded. Didn't he know who he is? Hardly anyone in Agraba didn't know his name even though they never see him. His name was well known throughout the entire East region! Yet this idiot seemed to be ignorant of what his name signifies. 'Well, at least I won't have to knock him out cold. Would be a waste.' Sasuke was beginning to like the blond's presence. He didn't need to act all dignified because he knew the other wouldn't judge him for not being prince-like. It was a refreshing change. He followed the blond.

"So you're new in the marketplace huh?" Naruto walked without looking to the front. He would come to regret it later.

"What makes you say that?" Sasuke looked down at himself, thinking that his prince garment was showing.

"Hahahah you kinda standout you know. And you don't seem to know how dangerous out here can be," the blonde's laugh was really light and free. No inhibitions.

"Where are we going?" Sasuke chose to ignore the blonde's observations. It's not his fault he was cooped up in the palace for like forever.

"My home! You look like you need a place to stay," now it was Naruto's turn to look the other up and down and he controlled the blush he could feel rising to his cheeks. The other man really was captivating, his deep, dark eyes that he could drown in if he looked too long and fair skin was quite rare because most people who live in the desert would be really tan from being under the sun for long periods of time. Even though his clothes covered most of his body he could tell that the guy was strong. He was proven right in the next moment.

Kurama gave a warning yip but it was slightly too late.

"Be careful idiot," Sasuke had barely reacted in time to save the falling blond. While scrutinising his companion the blond didn't see where he was walking and almost walked off the roof! Strong arms held his waist and brought him backwards, setting him a distance away from the edge.

"If you wanted to commit suicide at least do it when I'm not around," Sasuke glared at the other while releasing him.

"Sorry. But hey we're even now. I saved you from losing an arm and you saved my life!"

"That's hardly even dobe. Losing a life has more weight than losing an arm. You still owe me," he gave a haughty smirk that had Naruto turning red. He would say that it was due to indignation and anger at having been called dobe but he would be lying. The smirk seemed to only accentuate his handsome features. He chose to ignore the infuriating teme while he looked for a pole. Spotting several by the edge, he grabbed two and passed one to the Uchiha.

"Try to keep up teme," Naruto announced while Kurama climbed onto his shoulder. With no other warning he stuck the thick stick firmly on the edge of the building and used it to propel himself forwards to the other roof. He looked back to give a smug grin and maybe prepare himself for a laugh but he was disappointed.

Sasuke was captivated by the rippling muscles on the blonde's back as he jumped across to the other roof and would have been impressed by the feat if he hadn't seen it too many times. Itachi and he have been trained in the martial arts and sometimes they would train on the palace rooftops. Heights were no kick for him and so were jumping long distances apparently as he gracefully landed right beside the blond and flashed a triumphant smirk. Naruto's jaw was slack and hanging open. He had never met anyone who could jump like that. Even after all these years of jumping from roof to roof he wasn't that graceful. He prided himself for being agile and light on his feet but even that didn't help him jump as soundlessly and gracefully as the other. The Uchiha was like a big cat! Strong and powerful but graceful and agile as well. Even Kurama was impressed because he started purring on top of the blonde's shoulder and Sasuke apparently heard it because he let out a chuckle. Their reactions were hilarious.

"Hmph showoff…betcha can't do that again. Just a fluke," Naruto was proven wrong for the next three times it took to reach his apartment. By then he was speechless and his face was really red. 'What? He looked really cool while jumping alright! It's not my fault he makes jumping look so erotic. '

They came to another dilapidated building. This one was higher than the others so they weren't yet at the roof. Naruto left his pole on the ground and another 'thud' signaled the other had did the same. He walked on knowing Sasuke would follow. He climbed up steep stone staircases, careful where he placed his foot in case he might slip and fall again. Once in front of the guy was enough. Sasuke followed and tried not to get too distracted by the toned ass in front of him. Just slightly higher and he'll be nudging it with the top of his head. 'Clean thoughts Sasuke.'

"Voila! Welcome to my humble abode!" the topmost floor of this building was filled with old cushions in all four corners. The large open window, which was actually a rectangular hole in one of the four walls, was shut by bed sheets that were makeshift curtains. When Naruto drew the curtains it showed a picturesque view of the palace. From this angle the palace really looked grand unlike the view he got when he was inside it, stifling. He joined Naruto on the window and looked out at the world below them.

"You live here? By yourself?" Sasuke was intrigued. He had been prepared to meet the family but guess not. It suited him fine though.

"Yeap, s'just me and Kurama. No rules, no curfew, we can come and go as we please. Not bad if you can get passed the loneliness…I never knew where I came from or who my parents were. I don't even know if they're still alive. All I knew was life in the orphanage where we had to work ridiculous jobs just to get food and life on the streets when I grew too old to live in the orphanage. But at least I survived this long huh! Most orphans in my situation would have been dead a long time ago. Lucky for me I met Kurama three days after I was sent away from the orphanage. We were together ever since. We found this place soon after too. Inconspicuous and it has a great view. Guess my luck is just that good." Even after telling such a heart wrenching story Naruto still managed to smile. Sasuke was silently impressed with this man's will to live and to make a life for himself. Sure it's a life of a thief but it's still something. The man's optimism was also refreshing. Most would be depressed when they're in a situation like Naruto's but he's determination and stubbornness is amazing. Sasuke knew he was lucky to meet a person like him.

"I like the view from up here. It's like my own palace heehee," Sasuke turned to face the blonde when Naruto said that and his eyes widened minutely. The palace lights were like a beacon in the vast, dark desert and the shine from them illuminated Naruto's features. His blue eyes were aglow and his cheeks were rosy, the unique scars on them stretched upwards with his small smile on his full lips. Sasuke's heart gave a skip and he found it hard to look away from this entrancing view. 'This view beats any in the palace hands down.'

"What d'you think living in the palace is like Sasuke? I bet it'll be really cool! To have unlimited servants and valets!" The change in conversation had Sasuke dropping to earth painfully and he tore his eyes away. 'If you only knew Naruto.'

"Living there is not that great. Sure there are servants and valets but people tell you how to dress and how to live," Sasuke knew he shouldn't be shocked at the degree of bitterness in his voice but he was nonetheless. Goes to show how much he really loathed it there.

"Nah it can't be worse than here. You're always watching your back and struggling to make a life for yourself. I've been stealing since forever and I never know when I'll get caught and my arm will be chopped off. If I live in the palace, I'll never go hungry again. Kurama can even have his own wing right boy!" he heard an excited yip in answer. He laughed as he daydreamed.

"You're not free to make your own choices there, you just feel so…" Sasuke didn't know where all his resentment came from but he couldn't stop complaining.

"Out here you have to be careful. One wrong move and you're dead. It's like some sick game and you're powerless to do anything because you're…" Naruto knew he was rambling now but he wanted Sasuke to understand where he was coming from.

"Trapped." Both the men said it together and they knew that they were on the same wave-length. 'He's like me.' Naruto grinned his biggest grin at finally having found someone who was just like him. He's not alone. Sasuke smiled his first genuine smile that night at finally having found someone who understood him. He's not alone.

"Hahahah so where're you from Sasuke?" Naruto scooted closer to the dark-haired man, using the cold of the night as an excuse.

Sasuke looked out at the palace again and glared, "It doesn't matter. I ran away and I'm not going back."

"Really, why?"

"My brother's forcing me to marry someone I don't like. Hell I don't even know the person."

Naruto was stumped. He wasn't expecting that and he didn't know what to say, "That's erm bad…" Fuck he felt stupid! What do you say in these situations?! Luckily Kurama came to the rescue. Kurama growled and he's fur spiked up making him look somewhat ferocious.

"What's wrong with him?" Sasuke looked at the fox curiously. Now that he paid attention the fox was one he hadn't seen ever. How many foxes was there that had nine tails huh? The fox had courage and Sasuke knew that if he were ever to meet Leo they'll be great friends.

Naruto beamed and patted Kurama on the head. He calmed down some.

"Kurama said it's not fair," he gave a cheeky grin.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes in suspicion while smirking, "Oh really? And does Kurama have anything else to say?"

"Erm he er wishes that there was something he could do to help?" Naruto was stressing out here! He knew that Sasuke knew and he was just playing him!

"Hn. How thoughtful. There is something that he can do to help," Sasuke gave a mischievous smirk, one Naruto was suspicious off and it narrowed even more when the Uchiha was beginning to lean in close to him. It was his turn to narrow his eyes but he didn't back away.

"What would that be?" he could feel the Uchiha's warm breath on his lips now and he shivered slightly. He attributed that to the cold of the night.

Sasuke was about to close the gap between their lips when a loud crash had both of them falling off the window and into the room. They hurriedly stood up, muscles tensed to run or fight.

"HERE YOU ARE!" was followed by more crashing.

Naruto saw the guards of the palace and knew that they were going to put him in jail for all the stealing he'd been doing.

Sasuke also saw the guards and thought they were sent by Itachi to bring him home.

They both said at the same time, "They're after me!" then turned to look at each other in confusion, "They're after you?"

A loud and urgent sounding yip from Kurama had Naruto jumping into action. He went to the window and gauged the height from up there. He spied something below.

"Sasuke come on!" the crashes were getting louder, signaling that the guards were getting nearer. Naruto grabbed Sasuke's hand, pulled him up to the window and said to him seriously, "Do you trust me?"

Sasuke was lost. He didn't like where this was going.

"Sasuke! Do you trust me?!" Sasuke looked at Naruto than the guards and down below. Did he have a choice?

"Yes," before he could finish uttering the word he felt a hard thug on his arm, the one Naruto held onto and then he felt the wind rushing past him as they fell.
