Chapter Five- Hey bastard, I know I just slapped you and this is crazy, but here's my number, call me maybe?

Naruto's P.O.V

I emerged from the house as quickly as possible, I was in a hurry to get away from Muku . All I wanted to do was get to Sasuke and apologize so I could go about my day like any other normal person would. Lord knows the sooner I got that annoying prick off of my mind the better off I would be. I had a lot going on in my life between the photoshoots I had to attend, which weren't that often actually, I was like a stand in, only needed when someone was sick and couldn't make it.

It didn't bother me thought, apart from my occasional photosession I was a normal teenage boy. Well, as normal as one could get while living with someone as cruel as Muku... Perhaps I deserved this? Maybe I was some horrible person in my pastlife... That would explain why I was given this life...

As I walked down the street a frown suddenly took over my face as my stomach growled quietly. I ignored it as best as I could, that empty feeling inside of me desperate to be filled. I couldn't just go and eat something, I had to maintain my shape not only for my job but for my master as well. He didn't like it when I gained a couple of pounds, I was fat and disgusting he said, I needed to be healthy.

I bet you are wondering why I call him my master, it's not like I'm a dog right? Wrong. He'd had me since I was a small child and I didn't know anything else, he showed me things and taught me how to act. It's like he trained me, just like a dog. If he said sit, I was to sit. If he said lay down, I was to lay down. That's just the way it was, this was all I knew, he was all I knew.

I hated him yet I was raised to love him and everything that he did for me, everything he did to me. As a small child I didn't understand what was going on so I just went with the flow but, I thought that was love, I didn't know any other love. But as I got older I started to realize it was wrong, I would see people with their family's and see how happy they were, I would see how someone else's father wasn't holding their kids close or touching them in places that shouldn't be touched by a father, I saw that they didn't kiss their kids on the lips of strip them naked when they wanted to play.

They swung their kids on swings or caught them at the end of the slide, threw the ball or played tag. I realized then that what Muku did to me was wrong, but it was the only type of love I knew. At first I enjoyed the way he touched me and caressed me, but when I realized that it was wrong I started to shy away from him, I started feeling sick when he touched me like that, I didn't want his love anymore. Not that type of love.

I grew to hate him and his touch, just looking at him makes me sick but I have to obey him because that's all I know... Muku is my master and I am his slave. He realized that I hated those things that he did to me and that's when everything went from bad to worse. I guess he was scared I would tell someone or maybe it was because that's the day I told him in my own words how much I disliked being touched intimately by him, either way that was the day he started being forceful with me, the words he said that night... They still haunt me.

Naruto lay in his own bed with the blankets wrapped tightly around himself, he feared Muku would call him again tonight. He had been called to Muku's room everyday that week so far, and it was Saturday. He could hardly move, everything inside of him hurt. This was all so wrong, he wanted to report Muku, he wanted to be free and be loved like a normal child should be loved.

Maybe if he just told him how he felt about all of this then he would smiled at that, he was thirteen now so he could be a big boy and tell him to stop putting his hands on him. It was the least he could do for himself. Maybe everything would go perfect and they could be a normal family like his friend Gaara and his family, Gaara's father loved him very much as well as his brother and sister. His mother wasn't around anymore but he was sure she loved him all the same. Yeah he would do just that, he would confront him about all of this. He wasn't scared!

So when Muku suddenly called his name from his own room why did his heat beat speed up and the sudden feeling of agony overcome his thirteen year old frame?

None the less he knew he had to go to him before he came looking for him because that would only make it worse. He tried his best to control his fear as he walked as slowly as possibly down the hallway that seemed way too short all of a sudden. If he didn't show his fear then maybe it would be easier to admit his feelings to Muku. He pushed the only thing left separating him and his guardian open and walked into his room with his head held high.

"Yes Muku-sama?"

"Come here, I want to play a game." Muku motioned for him to come and he complied.

Naruto stood at the edge of the bed and looked up at his master wondering what game it would be tonight. They had many different 'games' that they played, none of them were the type of games Gaara and his father played. He'd much rather play at Gaara's house than his own, maybe if he played these games with Gaara it would be better, just not his father...

"W-what kind of game Muku-sama?" Naruto's body was shaking now, his small tan frame shivering like he was outside on a cold winters night.

"Undress." Muku ordered while pulling his onyx locks up into a messy bun.

Muku was lying on the bed with nothing but a sheet covering his lap, Naruto was sure Muku had an erection by now. He slowly stripped off his t-shirt and let it fall to the floor soundlessly then moved to his pajama bottoms, pushing them down along with his boxers to the floor and stepping out of them. "What now Muku-sama?"

Naruto heard the older male let out a soft moan and he looked up to see him stroking his erection from base to tip slowly, his eyes looking straight into Naruto's own. Naruto clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into the palms of his hands harshly. He needed to say something now or he wouldn't be able too. Fear welled up inside of him when a pale hand grabbed a fist full of his hair and pulled him onto the bed.

"Muku-sama..." Naruto whispered fearfully.

"That's it Naruto, moan my name." Muku trailed his hand down the smaller boys chest and took a hold of his penis, stroking a couple of times to get it hard.

"Muku-sama!" Naruto yelled, grabbing the older man's wrist tightly. "I-I don't like it when you do these these things to me!"

Naruto's eyes snapped open in realization to what he had just said. He couldn't believe he actually said it, he was so proud of himself! Tears welled up in his sapphire eyes, and he smiled a tiny smile. For the first time in his life he had stood up for himself, he couldn't be more proud of himself than at this moment. That was, until a hand connected with his face and his head snapped to the side.

Tears fell from his eyes for a completely different reason now, his face stung worse than it ever had before. Muku had never physically struck him like that before... It made his whole body tense up and his face scrunch in pain.

"Naruto..." Muku growled, leaning close to the other boys ear. "I'm only going to say this once so you better listen to me carefully."

Naruto didn't move, he just layed there with his face buried in the blankets, his hand clutching the side of his face in fearful pain.

"I adopted you for one reason and one reason alone. I don't care what I have to do to get what I want, I will get it. If you ever go against me like that again, I will make sure you don't have the chance to do it again. Do you understand me?"

Naruto didn't move until a large hand grabbed a fistful of hair and snatched his head away from the blankets. "Answer me!"

"Y-yes Muku-sama! I-I'm sorry!" Naruto cried out loudly.

Every since that day I just acted like I enjoyed everything he did to me. I was told later on that night that if I couldn't enjoy it I could at least act like I enjoyed it, easy for him to say. I'm not how I managed to moan and beg for more when all I want to do is curl up in a dark corner and rock myself into oblivion. Was it so much to ask for someone to love me? Or just a true friend?

Gaara had been a true friend to me, he had been my bestfriend. When Muku found out I was good friends with the neighbor boy he just had to pack us up and move to a different city though. I guess he couldn't stand the thought of me being close to anyone, he was scared they would take me away from him.

I was scared too.

Muku is all I know... Without him I wouldn't know any type of love, even if his love isn't a good kind of love. I'm old enough now to run away, old enough to report him and have him thrown in jail, but I'm afraid to be without him.

There are so many things I've never gotten to do and I know I probably won't get to do them any time soon, that was okay though. I couldn't be alone. If I was alone I would start thinking about all the things that's happened to me in the past and are sure to happen to me in the future and I would go crazy. I've thought about it before, all these things.

I've staired at myself in the mirror and saw how pathetic I am, I see how fat I am and how nasty I look. Muku helps me with that, Muku makes sure I'm thin. You see, without Muku I would be lost... So fucking lost.

Who would hold me so tightly it hurt? Who would pull my hair and push me around? Who would call me all those nasty names and shove me up against the walls? Who would tell me how worthless I am? Who would love me?

Muku loves me. Muku loves me until I go insane.

Muku...

The sound of bells chiming snapped me out of my trance and made me look up. That pink haired girl that I met the other day was holding the door open for those other two girls, they were all talking and laughing loudly.

"We'll be back in a little while Sasuke-sama!" The red haired girl called out into the door with a smile.

"Yeah, yeah! You better bring me back a late and some fries or I'll have to fire you!" I heard Sasuke yell back playfully from somewhere deep inside the studio.

I hurried up to the group of girls as before they got too far away and tapped on the blonde one's shoulder softy. She turned around to look at me in surprise for a moment before she frowned and glared at me.

"Well, well, look who the cat drug in." She snapped loudly making the other two turn around as well. "Look here pretty boy, we're not working right now so it wouldn't be a crime if we kicked your ass!"

"Ino!" The bubblegum haired girl yelled. "Sasuke would still make you clean the studio for a month!"

"I-I'm not here to start anything..." I said quietly, looking down at my feet.

"Then what do you want?" The red haired girl stepped closer to me and I looked up at her with soft eyes.

"I wanted to say I'm sorry... For how rude I was the other day." I looked at them hopefully for a moment before looking away again.

"Che. Don't worry about it!" The bubblegum haired girl smiled at me brightly. "Just don't do it again or we'll have to show you what girl power is all about!"

I nodded and watched the three of them continue their walk down the street for a few moments before I turned to the frosted glass door and pulled it open. I wasn't sure how Sasuke would react to seeing me again, I'm pretty sure he hates me by now, that is if he hasn't forgotten me.

I took in a deep breath and walked further into the building, looking around for any signs of where Sasuke might be. I jumped when I heard a loud crash from the room where we'd done the photoshoot when I was here last time. I heard Sasuke curse loudly and followed his voice into the room as quietly as possible. He was picking up a tripod that he'd knocked over somehow.

I cleared my throat loudly and watched him turn to look at me, he just stood there for a moment before he glared at him. I expected that reaction... Our last encounter hadn't exactly been a very good one after all...

Normal P.O.V

"Can I help you?" Sasuke practical growled at the blonde, his eyes softening a bit.

Naruto nodded slowly, "I came to talk to you."

"Talk or bitch? Because if it's the latter then I'd be more than happy to escort you right out the front door."

"Just... Talk."

Sasuke eyed the blonde for a second before nodding, "Follow me." Sasuke turned and walked into a small room that held a desk and multiple pictures framed on the walls. They both took a seat and just looked at one another for a few moments in what should have been an uncomfortable silence but it wasn't, it was peaceful. That was weird considering they were complete strangers.

"I wanted to apologize." Naruto broke the silence suddenly. "For you know... Slapping you in the face and all..."

"Hn. It's alright, you hit like a girl anyways." Sasuke snorted with a smirk.

"Look," Naruto glared. "I'm trying to be nice to you. The least you could do is compromise a little."

"Fine." Sasuke sighed. "How about this, we just forget it ever happened and move on with our lives. Thank you for apologizing to me, a complete stranger, who you smacked in the face for trying to make sure you were alright when you went crazy and called my hard earned studio a piece of shit and got told off for being mean. I forgive you." Sasuke ranted.

Naruto blinked a few times, something about the way Sasuke looked had caught his attention just now. He wasn't sure if it was his pale skin that nearly glowed in the light or his onyx locks that fell delicately in his face, making him look so much better than he would if he were bald. Maybe it were those dark eyes that looked so mysterious it seemed unreal or those thin lips that seemed so smooth...

This was a complete stranger he was talking about, so why did something in his chest tighten when he looked back into those eyes? He wanted to stand up and leave as quickly as possible but something in the back of his mind told him that he'd much rather be here with this stranger than at home with Muku. That familiar feeling of dread swallowed him whole again and he looked down at his hands, he didn't deserve to be in the presence of someone so nice.

"Are you even listening to me?"

Naruto's head snapped up, his eyes wide. "N-no?"

"Jesus Christ... I said; do you want to go get some lunch with me?" Sasuke repeated quietly.

"I-I..." He wasn't sure what to say... He was starving but he couldn't just eat. Even if he did, everything would come right back up, it wasn't as simple as Sasuke thought. "No. I can't."

"Because your starving, right?" Sasuke snorted once again.

"Excuse me?" The blonde snapped quickly.

"You're starving Naruto. Your way too thin to be healthy, one meal wouldn't kill you, you know? Now maybe if you skip another meal... That's a different story." Sasuke looked at the blonde with such seriousness in his eyes that Naruto nearly bowed his head in shame.

"You couldn't possibly understand Sasuke..."

"Do you like movies Naruto?" Sasuke smirked slightly, a twinkle in his eye.

"I guess? Movies are alright... Why?" Naruto looked at the raven confusedly, surely Sasuke wouldn't-

"Then perhaps you could explain it to me some other time? Maybe over a movie?"

Sasuke's eyes widened at his own words. Where had that even come from? Had he just asked Naruto out like... A date? No, maybe he just needed a new friend. He wasn't sure why but something about Naruto drew him in, something about the way he acted, the way he looked, those eyes...

"I-I don't know... I have to go." Naruto stood and quickly grabbed a pen from Sasuke's desk and wrote his something down on a random piece of paper he grabbed before hesitantly handing it to Sasuke.

"Maybe... Maybe a movie would be nice..."

Sasuke looked down at the piece of paper in his hand with curious eyes, a ignored the slamming of his office door and a small smile took over his features.
