Idioten... XD Itachi will get what's coming to him, no worries!

Last Time...

"There's only one ninja who had power like this that would want to come back here for him," he paused, "Uchiha Itachi."

Naruto balled up his fists in rage. Tsunade frowned and turned back to Sasuke, wiping dirt and dried blood off of his face.

"I will kill Itachi, no matter what the costs," Naruto promised himself, and his Kyuubi growled.

-Chapter 2-

Sworn

Naruto was sent home at around 5 so that Tsunade could care more for Sasuke and Kakashi could talk with her.

As he walked in the door, Naruto saw his answering machine was flashing. He pressed the button, and started disrobing while listening to it.

Sakura's voice was shakey, "N-Naruto... It's Sakura. I know Sasuke was r-raped, but can you come over as soon as you get this?"

A beep signalled the end of the recording. Naruto sat down on his bed and looked out the window. Down the road he could see Tsunade's office. He wanted to go back there so much. He lied back in his bed, staring at the ceiling, "Sasuke..."

His best friend, and secret love was beaten and bruised by the last remaining member of his family. Right now all the blond wanted was a little reassurance. The same thing Sakura wanted. So Naruto threw on a clean teeshirt and left to go visit her.

Naruto knocked on the wooden door at the Haruno residence. Sakura opened it, and flung herself at Naruto. He was a little shocked, but held her and let her cry nonetheless. "Sakura, shouldn't we go inside?"

Sakura sniffed, and nodded, walking back inside with Naruto behind her.

The two sat down at a traditional Japanese table and were silent a moment, each lost in their own thoughts. Finally, Sakura spoke, "Tea?" she offered.

Naruto shook his head, "What did you need to talk about?"

Sakura set down the teapot, "Well, I suppose I just didn't want to be alone."

He nodded, "Me neither."

"Tsunade will fix him up, won't she?"

"I don't know anyone better than her. Baa-chan's real good. That's why she's Hokage!"

Sakura smiled a little, "When can we go see him?"

"I'm guessing tomorrow," Naruto replied.

Naruto stayed a bit more, and helped Sakura get her mind off of Sasuke. When it was getting dark, Naruto decided it was best for him to get home and get some rest.

On the walk home, Naruto thought it seemed colder than usual. The once bright sky was dark now, and clouds were rumbling above him. A few small drops of water increased to a full downpour as he made his way to his apartment.

"Naruto," a voice came from behind the boy.

He looked back, but it was hard to see anything through the heavy rain. "Who is it?"

A dark chuckle could be heard, "Naruto, you're gonna get me huh?"

Naruto could see the outline of a tall man in a cloak approaching him. He quickly whipped out a kunai and took a battle stance, "What do you want?"

"It's me, Itachi."

Naruto's heart flared and he ran at the figure. Just as he was about to stab his kunai into it, the figure dissapeared.

Naruto collapsed on the ground, panting madly. A door slid open next to him, and a young girl squeaked, "N-Naruto-kun?"

He looked up, "Hinata..."

"Are you okay?"

Naruto stood up, his eyes glued to his feet, "Ogenkidesu, arigatou," he replied, and ran the rest of the way home.

Naruto didn't even turn on the lights as he ran to his bed an collapsed on it. He began sobbing onto is sheets, which were already becoming soaked from his clothes. Soon he found sleep tugging at his mind, so he let it in.

- - -

Naruto woke up very early, feeling like hell. His mind instantly went to Sasuke. There was no way Kakashi would have them do a mission today, so he took his cold clothes off and put on new ones. He wanted to see Sasuke now.

The blond left without eating, and made his way as quickly as possible to Tsunade-baachan's office.

Sasuke was still asleep, and Tsunade was tending to a wound on his back. Naruto pushed open the door and walked over to Sasuke, pulling up a chair. He took his hand, stroking it gently.

Tsunade looked up at Naruto, "It's only 5 a.m., Naruto, you should be home."

"I've rested enough. I just want to see Sasuke," he pleaded.

Sasuke's eye lids flitted open, revealing his soft brown eyes. "Naruto."

Tsunade sighed, "I'll give you some time with him," and with that, she walked out of the room.

"Sasuke, you're awake," Naruto smiled.

"Naruto, tell me something," Sasuke said, straining a bit.

"Hm?" he would tell him anything he wanted right now.

Sasuke closed his eyes, "Do you love me?"

The blond tensed, and he could feel blood rushing through his body, "I do love you, Sasuke."

Sasuke smiled, "Hey."

"Sasuke?"

"I love you, too, dobe."
