Disclaimer: It's old of me to be repeating this but even in my dreams; Naruto still does not belong to me. (sighs)

Remember Me 12- I'll just die.

Creeping through the broken gate, he held on his breath with hopes that the madman will not be able to detect him. Once he is in, he quickly ran to one side of the house, huddled down and stared through the window for signs of Gaara.

"Where is he?"

However, there was no one. Not Gaara or even a sign of the insane man.

"Looking for someone, Naruto?" A voice that sounded as if trying to conceal its laughter spoke and shocked the boy. He turned around and glared into the man's eyes.

"Where is Gaara?"

There was neither anger nor fear in the man's eyes but a rather happy look with a touch of insanity in it. He lowered his head to be in Naruto's sight and smiled. "He's somewhere."

Naruto gritted his teeth in anger and shouted, "Release him!"

"Of course we will. I won't hurt those who are important to you. We'll be together and he will witness us towards our 'Paradise'."

Naruto did not even notice that the man had raised a metal pipe above. When he did, he had rendered him immobile.

"I'm sorry but somehow… Something tells me that you'll resist me because you forgot how good I am. So I'll have to weaken you. I'm sure you won't mind."

The man bent down and picked up the blond boy who was still holding his leg in pain.

"Let's go… my dear."

"Let go of me you pervert! ARGH!" He wailed and punched but it only made him feel even more useless as it did not weaken the madman's grip on him. That was when he decided that he hated being carried upside down with his face facing some guy's ass.

"I'm not a pervert, Naruto. You don't remember my name?" The man said silently as he entered the house from the broken front door.

"As far as I'm concerned, I don't know you. So stop disturbing me and my friends!" He puffed out furiously.

The man gritted his teeth. Without a warning, he threw Naruto down to the couch, hurting his leg in the process.

"Ouch! What do you think you're doing?" Azure eye glared at the man's angered ones.

"I don't believe it… It can't be. How can you forget about our past? I told you many times I'll save you but you were gone before I could do it. If you are not the Naruto I know, how would you know I'm here? I said I love you so many times. Have you really forgotten this name, Kazuo?" He looked at the softening blue eyes sadly.

"Kazuo…?Where-"

Flash Back

"Naruto… Someday, we'll leave this place and head towards the beautiful Paradise." Kazuo embraced Naruto and kissed his forehead softly.

"We'll find happiness there together… forever." His voice trailed off as he pushed the boy down onto the bed. He completely ignored the boy's broken cries as he fell into his own pleasure.

End of Flash Back

He could only widen his eyes in shock. Were those memories true and not fabricated? He heart pounded strongly with fear.

"No… It can't be. It's a lie. Right? Nothing ever happen between me and Kazuo… Nothing. NOTHING!"

Naruto's breath was ragged and erratic as he tried to deny himself of the flash back.

However, Kazuo smiled. "Could it be he's remembering our past?" He grabbed Naruto's shoulder and shook him excitedly. "Are you remembering something? I knew you are the same Naruto I've known."

With his sun-kissed hair covering his eyes, he whispered. "What am I…?"

"That's it! I'll tell him more and he'll remember more. Then he'll be back normal. We'll be happy forever!" Kazuo smiled widened. "I'll tell you everything between us."

"The stalker's name is Ayonoma Kazuo, a poet. He used to be Naruto's customer back when he was working for my father."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes but he kept running.

"Why is he doing all this?" He asked through his breath as he panted hard from the running.

"He's obsessed about Naruto. A few times he proposed to my father to buy Naruto but he failed because Naruto did not sell his body to my father but rather work by receiving wages."

Sasuke could feel his blood boil from what his ear has heard. He clenched his fist harder as he ran.

"I know you are angry but try to control your temper. Naruto must not know of his past." Sai added when he felt fury emitting from Sasuke.

What Sai did not know, was that he was already too late.

XXX

Shaking hands brought itself up and covered the ear. No matter how, Naruto just would not stop shaking as tears trailed down his flushed cheeks.

"I'm a whore…? Nothing but a whore?"

"What's wrong, Naruto? Why are you crying?" Kazuo eyed the boy in concern. "Why is he crying? I must calm him down… How?"

The stalker swallowed back his saliva and brought his face near Naruto.

Naruto was startled by the sudden contact and pushed him away.

"Stay away from me!" His voice rang throughout the whole house.

"Why? What did I do, Naruto? What happened? I won't hurt you. You know I won't." Kazuo pinned Naruto down on the couch. His heart was broken. Those eyes that he thought he saw love and happiness a few years ago in those eyes but now it was only filled with fear and horror.

"Why won't you trust me?"

"Why?" He muttered softly. "You should be happy that I love you… Why are you giving me those looks? If I can't own you, no one will. No one."

Cruelty filled his face. Slowly, he held his hand near Naruto's neck. "Only me."

Naruto stared at Kazuo in surprise. "Move your body, Naruto! Come on!" However, his body failed him. He stopped thinking when Kazuo pressed his throat hard with both of his hands, depriving him of oxygen.

"No..o" He only managed to whisper out those words when Kazuo added pressure.

"Don't be afraid. I'll meet you there." He smiled like a child; a child who has found what he wanted.

"Sasuke…"

Before he could succeed in suffocating Naruto, he felt himself being thrown off Naruto from behind.

"Naruto?" Sasuke quickly Naruto up and supported him at his back. "Are you okay?"

Naruto rubbed his throat and nodded sadly, "Yeah…"

A pang of pain could be felt in Sasuke's heart as he stared at the poor boy. If nothing would stop him, he would have pick up the metal bat that he threw down the floor the moment he saw what Kazuo was doing to Naruto and hit the guy senseless.

"Naruto…" He muttered softly and hugged the Naruto.

Unknowing to them, Kazuo was staring at them furiously. "How could he throw me away from Naruto? Who does he thinks he is to be holding onto my Naruto that way? He belongs to me."

Then he felt something at his leg. He averted his gaze down and saw the perfect item to destroy the intruder.

"You'll pay for this."

"Sai!" Gaara called out when he felt someone loosening his ropes. He heard Naruto's scream sometime ago and since then, he had been struggling to loosen the ropes that were tying his hands together but failed. All he got was a bloodied hand and the rope did not even loosen a little.

"You okay, Gaara?" Sai asked when he finally freed the boy.

"Naruto?" Gaara did not even bother to reply Sai's question.

"I don't know. I parted with Sasuke to search for you both. He went into the mansion and I was searching around here and found you."

"We need to look for them now. I heard Naruto's scream just now. Something must have happened!" Without waiting for an answer, he quickly moved off towards the entrance of the mansion.

However, the first thing he shouted was not Naruto's or Sasuke's name.

"Watch out!"

Everything was in a blur. It happened so fast that Gaara could not even comprehend. He saw the madman run towards Sasuke and Naruto with a metal bat. He shouted for them and finally a gunshot.

Everything quieted down. What broke him out from his thoughts was Sasuke's voice. He was calling out something desperately but Gaara's brain would not process the situation.

"Gaara!" Gaara snapped and turned his head towards the person who called him.

"Snap out of it. Check out that man and I'll call the ambulance now." Sai said calmly before leaving the house to get a better signal for his hand phone.

"Yes… I must stay calm. I managed to do that last time, I can't lose now." Gaara quickly went over to the Kazuo and turned the unconscious man over. He was bleeding from his side but the man is still alive and the wound does not seem fatal.

Then he gazed up and widened his eyes in horror. He stood up and went towards Sasuke and Naruto.

"What happened? He's hurt?"

Sasuke shook his head, "No… I don't think so. He shouted in pain and fainted after he heard the gunshot. He was holding his head as if he was having a massive headache."

"Could it be…?"

XXX

He held his hands for hours without letting go. He would not take any rest even when Sai and Gaara offered to take over for him.

He just could not leave him alone.

Sasuke was afraid that if he had taken a rest, Naruto would just disappear like he did two years ago. He could not bear to lose him again.

He held Naruto's hand close and kissed it gently with his coal eyes fixing on Naruto's eyes, hoping to see it open to his favorite sky-like eyes.

"Don't ever leave me."

XXX

"I'm lost." Empty azure eyes stared out at the empty vast blackness. A voice always spoke to him but he could never hear it clearly. Another voice always covered it by asking questions.

Questions that he was running away from.

Finally he slumped down onto the floor and opened his mind to the questioning voice.

What are you running from?

"Reality."

But you are not moving a step.

"I don't know. Am I? Why?"

Maybe because you are not sure. You want to wake up, don't you?

"Maybe… I'm scared. Reality is cruel and unaccepting."

Then, you have given up?

"I don't know. Should I wake up?"

If that's what you want, go ahead but your heart is still hesitating. Why?

"I'm a coward. I'm afraid that if I wake up, there would be no one around me."

If it happens, what would you do?

He paused for a moment before replying, "I'll just die."
