Life was good for the Uchihas and Uzimakis until one day, Naruto asked, "When will I ever be able to meet your parents, Sasuke?"
Sasuke was surprised by the question, of course. Naruto had never brought it up before, he never even mentioned about the raven's parents. So of course it would be quit a shock for out little raven boy. But the answer the blond was about to receive made him want take back his question.
Sasuke scratched the back of his head and made an odd face. "Well," he started, "I don't have any parents. They were murdered several years ago."
Naruto's eyes widen before he looks at his feet sadly. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked. It was rude of me." The raven shook his head and gave a small smile.
"Don't worry about it. You were just curious like I was with your parents. And besides, I didn't know them that well anyways." He frowned after he said that, making Naruto look at him curiously.
"Why do you say that?"
Sasuke sighed, leaning back against the tree. They had been walking around the park before stopping to rest under a Sakura tree. The blond was sitting in front of the raven, leaning against a different tree.
"They never really paid attention to me; they were more into Itachi. Itachi seemed the most important one in the family, so he received more gifts, more attention, and more support. It was like I wasn't even part of the family. Every time I try to tell them something, they would ignore me; pretend I wasn't even there. It was like I was a 'just in case' object if Itachi ever died. And if it wasn't for Itachi, I would have lost it.
"Itachi knew what I was going through and he practically raised me. He would treat me when I did a good job at something or discipline me when I would something bad. I would have become a nescience for the police if it wasn't for him."
Naruto laughed at the last part. "Well, you practically are a nescience when it comes to other people, especially girls." Sasuke glared at the blond's accusation.
"Well excuse me; girls are just a nescience themselves. And other people annoy me." The raven snorted, crossing his arms. Naruto gave silent chuckle.
"Girls may be a nescience, but they are smarter, more proper, and sometimes stronger. Unless it's Sakura, Ino, and fangirls. That just brings the whole female population down a few points." The blond smirked as the raven started laughing.
"That's so true." Sasuke chuckle out. He sighed before his cell phone started ringing. "Hello?" He answered. "Hi, what do you want? …. Ok, I'll be right over." He hung up, putting it back into his pants' pocket.
"Who was that?" Naruto asked, standing up when the raven did.
"Apparently my brother needs me for something. I'm not sure what he wants, but he insists that I go." Sasuke explained, kissing his little blond. "I'll call you later. Do you want a ride; it's still a little chilly out here."
"No, I'll be fine. It's not too far of a walk."
"Ok, if you're sure." He kissed his blond one time before heading off to his car and driving off. Naruto watched the car drive off until it was out of sight. He smiled before frowning. It was getting dark, but the walk home wasn't that long if he took the short cut home. But the short cut was scary at night, even during the day.
He was going to take the long way home until a wolf's howl made him change his mind. He quickly started running off towards the short cut to his house, hoping that he could get there before it was completely dark. But as he was running, he tripped over a root and fell into a large puddle.
Yeck! Great, now I'll freeze! I better hurry if I want to be home before dark! He quickly got up and was about to run before a voice stopped him.
"Well what do we have here?" A voice snide at the blond. Naruto spun around to come face to face with a dark haired man with goldish eyes. "A little blond fox lost its way?"
The blond eyes widen as the man came closer. He took a step back, making sure to keep his distance from the man. He would yell for help if he could, except he's mute for crying out loud! He even tried, forgetting that he was even mute.
"Awe, little fox can't speak? Perfect." The man smirked, walking slowly towards the blond.
Naruto stepped back again, only to trip over another root. As he fell, the man was on top off him in a second. The dark haired man raised the blond's hands over his head and held them there with one of his own. Naruto looked up at the man with frightened, wishing for some help.
"Don't worry little fox. I don't bite… much." The dark haired man chuckled out before latching onto the blond's neck, sucking and biting it harshly.
The blond gasped and tried to wiggle free. And as he wiggled, he noticed the man wasn't as strong as he looked. So he kneed the man in the balls, which caused the man let of his wrists, and punched the man in the face. The man flew off of Naruto, letting the blond get away. But he didn't get far before the man tackled him back to the ground.
The blond was turned around onto to his back before the man started choking him. Naruto gasped for air, clawing the man's arms. But as the man was choking him, Naruto felt something snap together in his throat. Like something was pressed back into place.
He opened his mouth and let out a loud and hoarse, "Help!"
Naruto's eyes went wide. He actually spoke! So he tried again. "Someone help me!" He yelled out, surprising the man. Naruto was about to cry out again when lips covered his to keep him quiet.
Dots covered his vision and he was about to loose conscious when the grasp on his neck was forced off. He turned to his side and coughed, rubbing his bruised neck. He looked to see Gaara punching the day lights out of the man, making sure the guy was unconscious before stopping.
The redhead turned towards the blond, running over to him and helping him up. "Are you alright, Naruto?" The blond nodded to Gaara's question. "I heard someone yelling for help on my way from work so I went to help. Was that you?"
"Yes." Naruto replied hoarsely, surprising the redhead.
"I thought you couldn't talk."
"I thought so too. But when I think the choking help me in getting it back, strange as it sounds." The blond said, his voice getting a little better. "Do you mind walking me home?"
Gaara smiled and nodded. "Sure, we don't live that far from each other anyway." He grabbed the blond's hand and walked the blond through the forest short cut, chuckle when the blond squeezed his hand when there was a wolf's howl.
When they reached Naruto's home, they parted ways. The blond entered to see a worried Kyuubi pacing the kitchen. But he stopped when he saw the blond come through the living room. He ran to the blond and squeezed him into a tight hug.
"I was so worried about you. Where were you?" The redhead asked worriedly, pushing the blond away to look him in the eye. He narrowed his eyes when the blond smiled.
"I was at the park with Sasuke before he had to go do something for his brother. I walked home." Naruto replied, smirking.
Kyuubi nodded. "Ah, you were at the- wait, you spoke! How?!" He shook the blond for answers.
"While I was walking home, some jumped me and started choking me. I think the choking helped me in a way." Naruto said, keeping the molest out of it.
"You were choked?!" The redhead asked furiously.
"Don't worry; Gaara was there and helped me."
Kyuubi sighed in relief. "Well, enough of that. Wait till I tell Sasuke about your great recovery." He said, giddy with joy. He ran towards the phone, about to dial before Naruto stopped him.
"Wait! I want to tell him myself. I want to surprise him."
Kyuubi nodded and smiled. "Well, you should head for bed, you have school tomorrow."
Naruto yawned and went straight for bed.
I started to school today and I have to go to Mrs. Yvonne's house (my tutor as in forever). So the next chapters are going to take awhile. Of course you guys already know that. Oh! And found out one of my friends like Yaoi. I'm excited!
