I- Yeah… I won't even bother to attempt to explain how it took so long to update. I am extremely sorry though… GOMEN NASAI GOMEN NASAI (don't hurt me) hides behind couch
Disclaimer: cha, ya know…I don't own it or else it'd be a kick ass anime series.
IMPORTANT!! Okay so I was re-reading my story for the 50th time to try to get back into the writing mood (I'm here now I think…) and I have a couple of changes:
1. In chapter three it said this wasn't normal March weather and later Sasuke asks Naruto to Winter Formal…yeah that doesn't make sense so now it's December in the story and always has been cough cough
2. Etto… Oro-san and Itachi's conversation said they're having the sleepover and winter formal on Friday but I'm changing that to Saturday for Religious reasons kay kay?
Yeah I think that's it…
If you didn't read… Read Okay onto the Story YAYZ!
Chapter 5: the bonding of the goths and the populars & an akward conversation with Sasuke
Last Chapter Reminder: Just like that, Sasuke and Naruto had no choice but to have a sleepover.
The blonde was surprised he was still alive and able to move at all after what he experienced last night. He had a first (and last) time costumer and this one wasn't in the business for sex like most of his buyers. No, he was only in to appease his strength although one could only think he was more weak than strong to buy someone just to beat them up.
The client's methods were very insecure and easily readable. He tied a rope to each of the blonde's wrists and ankles, holding Naruto with about three feet of lag from the wall.
"Come on, give me your best shot." Naruto hated fighting and became confused. The first rule he was trained and stressed to follow: Always do what the costumer says. But the third rule contradicted this being that he should never even attempt to hurt a client. So what was he to do about this?
He quickly came up with a solution and tested his idea out. Throwing a punch (obviously to miss the other), he was rewarded back with one from the other. This was repeated several times, the elder man dodging the false blows with ease and beating Naruto a couple of times in return.
Unfortunately, this task wasn't enough to keep the younger boy occupied from his thoughts and he suddenly started to be corrupted by his emotions, making him desire to actually hit the man.
As the client approached the blonde, Naruto maneuvered himself to wrap the rope around his neck. After seconds of strangling, the shock wore in. He released his hold on the elder, a long, red line clearly visible where the rope used to be.
It was the end of their "game", now reality set in and it was apparent that there were no more chances for forgiveness or going back. No chance for defense.
Naruto had the next day off school with Orochimaru to go visit his master's friend and his doctor, Kabuto. They needed to know if anything was seriously damaged.
Fortunately, Naruto was lucky, only having bruises and his right wrist was fractured. For the first time in a while, the blonde was thankful that Orochimaru was there. If he hadn't interrupted, he might have had been in a much worse condition, maybe even near death. Needless to say, Naruto knew now what not to do when a buyer asked for something against the rules.
"Thank goodness. Thank you, Kabuto," Orochimaru let out with a sigh of relief as they finished dressing the kitsune looking boy's wounds. They exited into the hallway.
"Anytime," the doctor started and stared through a window in the door at the blonde. His voice was hushed as he continued his question. "How's he been handling the experiment?"
"Besides last nights little rebellion, he's been following our theory exactly as hypothesized." The black haired man, too, gazed at the boy who was examining his examination room. "I've been giving him more freedom lately, of course in moderation, and he's been accepting all the punishment that comes with it. He's also been healing at an abnormally fast rate but despite that, he hasn't complained or said a word of anything to anyone. I think soon, our experiment will be finished with his purpose in life. He'll be worthless."
"How should he go?"
"Well I believe that killing him would be senseless plus the costumers would revolt, but we can't have him talking. We only have two options."
"Selling him?"
"You'll see."
--
"Where were you yesterday, dobe?"
"Neh! Sasuke-teme!" His mouth turned downwards to a pout. "I just…kinda…fell." He laughed and rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, revealing his bandaged wrist.
Sasuke blinked. "Until now, I didn't actually believe you were as much of a dumb ass as I thought. I guess I thought wrong." He laughed.
"Woah! Did Sasuke just laugh? The famous, emotionless Uchiha actually has some feelings?" Neji smirked, leaning darkly against the wall.
"Don't talk Neji; you have no room to judge me Mr. Wanna-be-popular." Invisible sparks raged between the two and Naruto couldn't help but to break the silence.
"Sasu-san, I need your address and phone number for Saturday."
"Hn, Sure." He shot one last glare at the Hyuuga before breaking away and pulled out a piece of paper.
"Arigatou!" He hugged the Uchiha and took the information, saying goodbye to go meet with the popular group. As he rounded the corner, he fell back with shock and the fact that he bumped into a lazy Shikamaru, who gazed at him with amusement.
"So that's where you disappear to in the mornings. Expected, but a little risky, is it not?" Naruto got chills that would out-do Shino's aura any day.
The blonde gave up with a sigh. "What do I have to do to keep you quiet?" The other smirked, knowing that the scarred boy gave into his plan.
"A date."
"What!?" Naruto whispered loudly, his eyes widening as a small squeak erupted from his mouth.
"No! Not with you (enter sigh of relief from Naruto here), I'm not Sai. I meant… with… Temari." Naruto grinned which made the Shikamaru blush and feel stupid for being there.
"You like Temari!?"
"Shut up! I just want to see what it's like on a date with her." Naruto's grin grew wider and he hugged the elder, turning back to the group.
"Tema-san!" He waved to the Sandy haired goth. "I need to ask you a quick question on my homework! Can you help me?"
"Sure, but it'll cost ya!" Temari walked over to the blonde and out of sight of the other goths, surprised to see a "prep" with him. "What kind of game is this?"
"Tema-san, will you go out with Shika-san?" Said black haired teen hit Naruto over the head to shut him up.
"Hmm…" She examined the boy and smirked. "I'll try out one. But both of you better not tell anyone!"
"As long as you don't, I won't," responded Shikamaru.
Orochimaru's Apartment
-Ring-Ring-
"Hello?"
"Hey Naruto, its Sasuke."
"Oh… Hi!"
"I just wanted to know when to pick you up for Saturday."
"Uh, hold on!" The blonde looked at the annoyed man positioned on top of him. "Actually, Oto-san is going to take me there. So what time do you want to meet up?"
"Just at the time it starts then I guess. Oh yeah, make sure to bring a swimming suit and nice clothes for church."
Orochimaru's was frustrated with the long phone call and gave Naruto a reminder of the position he was in. The blonde moaned in pain.
"Naruto, are you okay?" The raven looked at the phone in disbelief of what he thought he just heard.
"Y-yeah! Don't worry about a thing! I'll remember to bring them!" He covered his mouth and held the phone away from his face so as not to let any other sounds be noticed by his date.
"What happened?" The raven's voice was filled with concern.
"I-it's nothing! I just cut my finger, its fine!" he rushed to finish as not to be embarrassed by the akward situation he found himself in. "I've got to go get a band-aid so I'll talk to you later, okay?"
"Alright, bye Naru-chan, I'll talk to you later."
"B-bye!"
The raven stared at the phone that was buzzing with the sound of no one on the other end. 'He didn't fight back that he wasn't a girl…This was defiantly no cut finger.' And for the first time, he finally put together a logical answer to the blonde and Orochimaru's relationship.
Itachi: I thought you said this was the chapter I was in…
Me: Sorry, I thought it was at first too, then I thought I might set up a little more plot for later.
Sasuke: hn… thinking
Naruto: nyaa…well I still think next chapter's going to be amazing!
Itachi: you think so?
Naruto: not about that…about Sasuke's thingy
Sasuke: what about me?
Me: Nothing. Just don't worry about a thing, just keep thinking. I'm typing up the next chapter right now so just you wait and see!
On request I won't list out names anymore (plus there's a whole lot to thank) But I do thank each of you individually because without you, I don't think I would have continued the story but now that I finally have time and that I know you like it, I will continue! BTW sorry this chapter is short but i hoped you liked the akward part
