Silence. Complete silence. Sasuke looked at Naruto as if trying to see if the boy was serious about what he just said. He was. 'Oh god' Naruto was serious. Sasuke felt like crying; his best friend and first love was a prostitute. He would never look at Naruto the same way again.
"okay, this is awkward. I'm going to go shower. Make yourself at home, I guess and we'll talk or something." if there was anything that Naruto could be grateful for at the moment, it was the need to shower, because showers would lead to brushing his teeth and that would lead to getting dressed which would be followed by doing his hair which would all equal to…….stalling. He couldn't talk to Sasuke now, the way the raven haired boy was looking at him made Naruto feel completely shameful. He never wanted crawl in a hole and die more than he did now. The blond Jinchuuriki practically ran to the bathroom and began the dreadfully long yet blessed process of stalling.
Sasuke, however, had taken to sitting on the couch and thirty minutes later when the phone started ringing, he was still on the couch, staring at nothing in particular. He just sat and let the phone ring.
'BEEP!' went the answering machine, after the beep, a very feminine voice said;
'hey Angel, or should we say:'
'Birthday boy!!!' four feminine voices
'this is rikka'
'Nikki'
'candy,'
' annnnnnnnnnnd kym! any ways when you get this message, call one of us so we can take you shopping. No excuses!'
'oh annnd Daisuke's been asking about you!' rikka
' so we gotta make you hella cute for tonight-' Nikki
'cuz he'll be at the party, and I know you said no party, but we don't give a fuck! Cuz we're all gonna get fuuucked up!' Kym
' and one more thing sweetness, precious, love our lives- don't bring any money, you worked way to hard for it. We've got everything covered. Oh an tell D to call me" candy
(all) ' bye gorgeous!"
'BEEP'
Of course, Sasuke was listening to the message, he was sitting there anyways, might as well do something. But he learned quite a few things:
1) It was Naruto's birthday- how he and practically all the 'old friends from the rich part of town'(as Naruto so eloquently put it) had forgot about it was beyond him.
2)Naruto has four seeming annoyingly friends who wouldn't dare letting him spend his 'hard earned money'
3)someone else liked Naruto- much to Sasuke's displeasure(who the fuck is Daisuke?)
4) there was a party tonight
5) Naruto and his friends were going to get 'fucked up'-( now Sasuke wasn't stupid, he knows what getting fucked up means. Yes, he's down with all the homies and what dey be doin' and shit)
So Sasuke was completely justified in wanting to delete the message. He would keep Naruto from these people and this party at all costs. His finger was just above the delete button and all he had to do was push it.
"I got a message? I really hope it was Nikki." and just like that, the robotic voice of Satan said..
'you have 4 new messages. Message one;'
'BEEP'
' Hey Naruto it's Iruka. Just call to see how your doing and everything but I guess I missed you again. So if you needed any thing, just tell me and I'll be happy to shopping for you-'
'beep. Message deleted. Message two'
'hey hey hay little Angel. This is D. big 1-5, man , happy birthday.

'end of message. Message three'

'end of message. Message four.'
"BEEP'
'hey Angel, or should we say:'
'Birthday boy!!!'
'this is rikka'
'Nikki'
'candy,'
' annnnnnnnnnnd kym! any ways when you get this message, call one of us so we can take you shopping. No excuses!'
'oh annnd Daisuke's been asking about you!' rikka

(all) ' bye gorgeous!"
"END OF MESSAGE. YOU HAVE NO NEW MESSAGES"
"That bitch! I said no party!"
"Naruto we have talk"
"*gasp* and Daisuke's gonna be there! Holy shit!"
"dobe-"
"oh right yea talking" Naruto walked to the couch and sat down. He was however, rather preoccupied.
"ok, I know I sort f freaked you out earlier when I yelled at you. But I really want to know," again the phone rang. Sasuke expected Naruto to just let it ring, which he did. For two seconds.
"hello? Oh hi Daisuke um ……………yea I'd love to……and um the girls are throwing me a party for my birthday so after dinner maybe you'd wanna go? Yea….. Actually I was gonna call them but you called….. No! it's…it's ok…um I want to talk to you. Really? You didn't have too buy me anything, but could you at least give me a hint? Why not? Well I like surprises. Anyways I was kinda wonderin if you'd like to come with me and the girls to go shopping and stuff . Really? Ok see ya then….bye" Naruto pressed the off button, then pressed the talk button and dialed a number, waiting for Nikki to answer the phone.
"dobe we really need to talk about this, no matter how much you stall, we're going to have to discuss this." Sasuke was a little miffed that the blonde was ignoring him in favor of those people and how he deleted Iruka's message but kept the others.
"there's nothing to talk about Sasuke, its not like you're my dad or anything so there's nothing for you to worry about. I'm ok , so why don't you just drop it-- hello? Oh my God Nikki, a party?" again Sasuke was being ignored. "no I'm not mad, but I just don't think that you should waste your- I know but-*sigh * fine, I could use a few dozen drinks. Haha, well I was wondering if Dai could go shopping with us? Yea well I kinda already asked him…………*laughs* yea he said he got me something and he'll bring it when we go shopping… do you know what it is? Really? Tell me please….fine be like that …..yea I'm fine, it wasn't that bad last night, he was really nice. Brown hair, green eyes, married? Yea that's him, but we didn't leave the club that late, did we? Any way, he was a very generous man…. I'm not telling you how much. Haha well, I think I'll go back to dancing though, that jackass raised the rent again. yea I'm still babysitting, but all the kids I used to baby-sit can take care of themselves now. Hey, do you think D would let me work for him? Yea I'll ask. Oh did I tell you? Daisuke's invited me to dinner at his house, just me and him, and Tanaka-sama is cooking! Yea his food is so good! I know! Yea I'm still going to the party, it's for me isn't it? We're just going to dinner and then we'll go to the party….ok …. I talked to daddy yesterday, he said he'll meet us at the ramen stand, k? ……….see ya when you get here, bye" Naruto put the phone down and turned to Sasuke "so what did you want to talk about?"
"I don't think you should go to that party."
"and why not? Come on Sasuke, you're not my dad, I don't have to listen to you" SLAP!!! Naruto stumbled back, his hand on his face where Sasuke hit him. The Uchiha was just so angry; at how the blonde was ignoring him and how everything seemed to revolve around these people.
"Yea you're right I'm not you father, you don't have any parents. If you did, you wouldn't be whoring yourself or hanging around drug dealers! Or maybe you're fucking him too! Tell me Angel, who have you fucked for free? Do you let men fuck you for rent money or is that a plus?" The blond made a run for his bedroom but was pushed against the wall. "No your going to listen to this. You have real friends who care for you, but you toss us to the side like trash in favor of those people! You're acting like nothing's wrong with what your doing. What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you on drugs ? Because that could explain why you're so close with a drug dealer, what are on , huh? Are you a fucking cokehead? How bout heroine? Are you a fucking junkie? Maybe a crack whore?" Naruto had tears in his eyes halfway through Sasuke's rant, but he was still pissed beyond reason at how the Uchiha was talking to him. So, he did two things: he spit in the boy's face and kicked him in the nuts. Naruto was almost to his room when he was grabbed harshly by the hair and Sasuke hit the blonde's head on the wall. "don't you fucking walk away from me. You want to be a whore, I'll treat you like a fucking whore!" the Uchiha aid as he slapped the boy again.
"hey!" Sasuke turned to see a boy with short black hair and grey eyes holding a knife. "I don't think he wants to be thrown around like that. Let him go , man, can't you see you're hurting him?" Sharingan eyes glared at the boy. "I don't think it's any of your fucking business"
Blue eyes met grey as Naruto turned to see the boy. "Daisuke" he whispered. At hearing the boy's name, Sasuke let go and, almost instantly, Naruto ran to Daisuke and clung to him for dear life. So this was the one who everything seemed to be about. He wore black cargo pants and a black wife beater top. It was pretty obvious that he cared for Naruto more than he did, all the Uchiha did was slap the blonde around and called him names . Daisuke gripped the knife harder and pointed at Sasuke with it. "I think you should leave now, man, you're not welcome"
