ITMB: Geez, damn pmsing woman…

Mic: SHUT THE HELL UP YOU DAMN PORN ADDICT!

ITMB: Okay okay, geez

Mic: On with the story and no complaining!

Naruto opened his eyes. He was in some kind of…cell, it had two beds. Someone screamed in the distance. He felt an incredible pain. He screamed just as the other person did. The cell was open. He slowly got out and followed the screams along a hallway. He entered a room filled with shelf's that had jars filled with a green liquid. On closer inspection you could see that there were unborn babies on every jar, some more developed than others. The blonde felt his eyes fill with tears. He heard the scream again. It was coming from a door at the end of the room. He opened it and his tears spilled from his eyes in horror, he started shaking and his head hurt. He screamed in pain and fell on his knees. When the pain dulled down a bit he stood up. He walked further into the room. What he saw shocked him.

There was a metal examination table. A 4-year old blonde kid was on the table. He couldn't see his face, but he could still see the tears running down it . Someone with very long, spiky black hair was injecting a purple liquid into his arm. The boy screamed in pain again. He tried to get the man away from the little boy, but he passed through him, like Naruto wasn't there physically. The man took the little blonde and headed back to where Naruto had found himself earlier. He placed him on one of the beds. Naruto followed. When the man went away he kneeled next to the bed. The boy was crying. He was in a very bad state, he had bruises all over his little body, some cuts and some of his golden hair was matted with blood and dirt. He was wearing a grey, dirty short and a black t-shirt. He didn't have shoes. Naruto saw a hand touch his forehead. He followed it to an arm, then a shoulder, a neck and finally to a face. It was a purple haired, brown eyed boy. He was about 13 years old.

"You have a fever again. Here, drink this." He helped the little blonde drink from the offered cup. Suddenly everything looked very blurry. Naruto found himself standing outside a room. The door was opened. He saw The same blonde boy and the purple haired teen inside. The man was inside too. The teen was saying that he would take the blondes place in something, but Naruto couldn't hear what it was. The man agreed and sent the little blonde outside. Even thought his face was blurry Naruto could tell he was smirking. The door closed and the boy sat down beside it. The teen in the other side of the door screamed in what Naruto thought was pain. The little blonde cried. Naruto tried to open the door, screaming at the man to let the boy alone. But he couldn't, he tried and tried but the door wouldn't budge. He looked down at the little blonde. He was still dirty and had bruises all over, some looked new. Suddenly, when the screams became more intense, the boy ran back to the cell. He sat down facing the wall. He took a brick out of it and took out of the hole a teddy bear. It looked very worn out. He hugged it tightly and continued to cry. Suddenly everything became a blur again and Naruto saw the blonde, but one or two years younger. He still had some bruises and the same clothes. He was crying on his bed. The other boy, younger as well was hugging him.

"Ne, today is your birthday right?" The little boy nodded. Actually he was young enough to be considered a baby.

"Here." He smiled and handed the boy a teddy bear. The boy looked at it in awe and hugged it tightly. It must be the one his older blonde self had.

"Y-you te-te-tewwy?"

"Yeah, it's yours now."

"Bu-Bu-Bu-Bu-"

"It's okay." They hugged again. And once again everything blurred and Naruto found himself where he had previously been. The blonde was still there crying and you could still hear the screams of the other boy. He came closer to the little blonde and hugged him. He jumped, like he could feel Naruto and he hugged back.

"Everything is going to be alright." When the boy calmed down a bit he talked.

"Wh-Who-Who a-awe yo-you?"

"I-I am a friend."

"Oh." The screams stopped. He heard someone coming and went to hide the teddy bear. Then the man entered the cell carrying the purple haired teen and practically threw him onto the other bed, then he closed the cell. Naruto couldn't believe his eyes. From what he could see, the boy had been raped. He had bite marks and bruises on his arms, neck and legs. His grey shorts were covered in blood. The other blonde went and hugged the teen. Naruto just stood there watching the scene sadly. Then he approached the bed and hugged them both. This time it was the purple haired boy who jumped. He looked at Naruto. His eyes widened.

"You…"

"I'm a friend…."

"…" Naruto started crying in grief for them both, he couldn't stop the tears but he still tried to make the boys feel better.

"Naruto!" Naruto looked around, someone was calling him.

"Naruto!" He suddenly found himself in darkness, the boys were nowhere to be found.

"Naruto wake up!" He jolted into a sitting position in his bed. Jiraiya was beside him, shaking him.

"Wha-What?"

"You had a nightmare, you were screaming and crying." Naruto touched his cheeks. Tears.

Suddenly someone burst into the room. "What happened?" Konan and Pein.

"Naruto had a nightmare." Konan sat down beside him.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Naruto shook his head.

"Co-Could you guy g-go outside? I-I want to be-e a-alone right n-now."

"…Kay" They left. When they closed the door. Jiraiya invited the other two to some coffee. They were sitting on the counter when Jiraiya realized something.

"How the hell do you get in here?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX The next day

Naruto had been rather down that day so everyone kidnapped him and took him with them to the mall (a/n: that happened to me …twice…). There they met with Shikamaru and Matsuri. Neji, Ten Ten and Lee couldn't go because they had some type of project to hand out to the college. They invited Karin, Juugo and Suigetsu. They also tried to invite Sasuke but he said he had something to do. And so they found themselves in the mall. First they made the blonde use every game in the arcade, then bought several comedy movies for later. Then ate. Then went to the arcade, stopped for a drink at 'De point Bleu', they waited for it to close, said bye to everyone there (They invited them but they all already had plans) and grabbed Temari and finally left towards Sai's apartment.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Meanwhile

Sakura was pacing back and forth in her room. She was furious, people had started to take a liking to the blonde, even Sasuke-kun! She wasn't going to let that happen. She had to do something. Her mother knocked on the door.

"Sakura, Ino is here to see you."

"Great, sent her in!" Ino entered the room. It looked like she had been crying, a lot.

"Ino, we have to do something about that idiot, he even got Sasuke-kun's attention!"

"Sakura, that's what I came here."

"What?"

"I-I don't think Sasuke's worth all the heartbreaks."

"What are you talking about?"

"Well…"

Flashback: Yesterday.

Ino was happily walking down the hall. She was determined to get Sasuke-kun attention! She had prepared a box of chocolates and was going to ask Sasuke-kun out (well, she did it on a daily basis but this was going to be deeper).

The hallway was empty except for her and, surprisingly, Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun!" He looked at her coldly.

"Sasuke-kun I-I made this for you!" She blushed and offered the chocolates. She put them down when he didn't take them.

"I-I wanted to know if you maybe wanted to do something later and-"

"No."

"But-"

"No." And he walked away. She dropped the chocolates and tears ran down her face. She went to the schools yard and sat down near a tree. She cried and cried for like what seemed hours, until someone touched her shoulder, she jumped. It was Chouji.

"Are you alright?"

"What do you care?" She rubbed her eyes. They were red because of all the crying and she started walking away.

"I saw what happened back there." She stopped.

"Don't you think it's enough pain?"

She turned around. "What do you know? You don't love anyone, you don't have to go through this daily, you don't have to get your heart broken because the person you love doesn't do as much as look at you!"

"I love you." She stared at him in shock.

"Remember the first day that we met? I thought you were the most pretty girl in the world, I still do, and you and Sakura called me a 'stupid fat kid'. I watch as you daily try to make Sasuke go out with you. I watch as you say you love him. I watch as you cry when he rejects you. I watch as you immediately make fun of everyone different. I do go through everything you go through. I know how painful it is to love someone who doesn't love you back."

Ino could do nothing but stare at him. " What you feel isn't love, because your just attracted to Sasuke's looks and Itachi's shadow. Do you think Sasuke would like that? To be just a shadow of his brother in everyone's eyes? Besides You don't really know him. How can you love someone if you don't know them? "

"Then how can you say you love me? We haven't even talked!"

"I know that you like carrot cake, I know that you hate milk, I know that your favorite color is purple even though you barely wear something that color, I know that you don't like your birthday because your mother died the day you were born, I know that your favorite band is Paramore, I know that you know everything possible or impossible about flowers, I know that you don't like rainy days, I know that you are interested in the human brain and how it works, I know that you also want to know how consciousness works. I know all that and not because I stalk you, as I know you'll say, but because I love you."

"You can't make someone love you just as you love them, that's why I never attempted to go near you, because I already knew you liked Sasuke, but don't you think it's enough? If you don't actually love him, then I don't think it's worth it."

"Then why do you keep enduring it?"

"Because I think you are worth everything. I know you'll probably never return my feelings, but I just want you to know that I do love you, you are everything to me, but if you find someone else, someone who understands you and cares for you, someone who is capable of loving you back just as you love him, well, I'll be very happy." He turned and Ino watched him walk away.

End flash back

"So what if he said that? We still have to get rid of Naruto."

"No Sakura, you're not getting it. I think it's better if we just leave him alone. I'm apologizing to him."

"Why?"

"What made you hate him in the first place?"

"That he dared to set a competition for me and Sasuke-kun!"

"Look Sakura, why don't we set Naruto aside for a moment. Let's focus on Sasuke. Do you really think he's worth all the tears, all the pain?"

"Of course he is!"

"But Sakura, you have to realize he doesn't love you."

"Yes he does, we're going to go out together!"

"And what about Renji?"

"He does what he does for a minor payment." She moved he collar to let Ino see a hickey.

"Sakura!"

"So what? It's all for Sasuke-kun."

"What about Lee? He tells you he loves you on a daily basis, don't you want to know what it is like to be loved?"

"Sasuke-kun loves me!" Tears started pouring from her eyes.

"No he doesn't."

"Then why did he-"

"Sakura, It was only a one night stand. "

"No it wasn't." Sakura started pulling at her hair, Ino tried to stop her only to get scratched.

"Sakura please look at the truth. It was just a one night stand, please stop hurting yourself over him, why don't you try Lee? Maybe he's the one…"

"No! He's Horrible!"

"Just because of his eyebrows? He's actually cute with them!"

"Then why don't you date him?"

"…I-I want to date Chouji…"

"What?"

"He said all these sweet thing and …I-I want to know how it feels to be loved…"

"GET OUT! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN, JUST GET OUT!" Ino did as told. She heard as Sakura cried. She left the house and started crying as well.

At first when they got to Sai's apartment they were just watching movies but then when he bought some cake for them all, Naruto got pissed when Suigetsu told everyone about his job so he threw his plate at him, hitting Sai, Sai threw his, hitting Kiba, Kiba hit Gaara, Gaara hit Kiba, Kiba tried to hit Gaara, missed and hit Karin, Karin hit Matsuri, Matsuri hit Hinata and Hinata and Juugo tried to cool thing down but it was already war. Kiba, Suigetsu, Naruto and Sai were using the couch as a shield, Gaara , Matsuri, Temari and Shikamaru were using the table. Shikamaru was sleeping, Chouji was eating safely in a corner, and Juugo and Hinata were in the center trying not to fall and stop everything at the same time, but then Hinata slipped and Juugo caught her by the waist and this riled up Kiba, starting to throw everything to Juugo, missing and hitting Temari. And she started throwing things like there was no end.

"DIE TTEBAYO!" He threw something that looked like a ball…a fur ball…It hit Matsuri.

"Oh no you didn't-" Cake hit her face.

"That's it!" And only god know what did she throw at Naruto and Suigetsu. Seeing as their group was in medical condition Naruto decided to do something drastic.

"Kiba, remember those paint bombs I got you ttebayo?"

"Yeah?"

"How about we try them out?" They smirked, Kiba got out a little plastic box, it was filled with paint bombs.

"Guys!"

Everyone looked at them.. "Yeah?"

"Paint bombs! Is it okay Sai?" He nodded. "Take one!" They did, looked over the edge of their couch at their enemies, each pointing at someone.

"One…Two…Three!" The threw the bombs.

"Duck!" They huddled against each other.

"SAI!" Sai's guardian. Danzou. ( You just go busted, man!)

"What is the meaning this?" Sai looked at his cake and paint covered friends, then at Danzou.

"Um…nothing?"

"Don't damn nothing me, y'all cleaning this mess up! Damn! Now if you excuse me I go to get going. But when I come back I want to see this place shinning!" And leave he did. After they magically cleaned everything, the laughed, said good bye and left. Kiba took Hinata home. Gaara took Matsuri, Shikamaru took Temari and Chouji. Everyone tried to take Naruto, but he said he wanted to walk home. They were like that for an hour before they simply gave up and Naruto went away. But he didn't go home, instead he went to a park. It wasn't near, but it wasn't far. He always went there to think or when he felt down. It had been like this since he could remember. He stopped when he realized there was someone in his favorite spot, under a cherry tree. It was Sasuke. Wow, he never thought he'd find the raven in a place like this. He Practically heard the boy stiffen when he sat down beside him. It was already night and you could see all the stars.

"Beautiful isn't it?" He said while looking up at the sky.

"…"

"I always come here to think or when I have a problem tteba, it just kinda calls me…"

"…"

"Do you have one?" He looked at the boy beside him.

"…"

"I guess even Uchihas have problems ttebayo…hehe."

The young Uchiha surprised himself when he talked, it just kinda slipped. "What bothers you…?" Naruto looked back at the stars.

"…I…I don't know…I just feel kinda bad today…like this day holds a very sad past event, something I can't remember…It's just the way I always feel on my birthdays…" He didn't intend on the raven hearing the last sentence, but Uchihas have very keen ears and, of course, heard it.

"You feel bad about your birthday?"

"...I do like my birthdays but…there's something about them that…" He stopped talking. They sat in silence for ten minutes when Naruto talked again.

"What about you? Is something bothering you?" Sasuke didn't say anything. The last time he trusted someone became the reason of his self induced isolation.

"If you don't want to tell me it's okay, I mean, I am just a crazy person asking you about your problems, ttebayo hehe."

"…Today…Today is the anniversary of the death of someone I loved…" Naruto looked at him.

"A relative?" Sasuke shook his head.

"Oh…at least you remember that person…I think…it's better than not remembering a thing about that someone, don't you think ttebayo? I can't remember anything about two people I think I loved because I hit my head when I was about eight years old and got amnesia. I don't recall anything from when I was a kid… "

"…"

"So know I don't remember where, when or how I met them, neither do I remember their faces. One I know I loved as a brother and he loved me as a brother as well, the other one I think I loved more than a brother or a friend, but I don't remember anything about them….although I do remember that the one I loved more than a brother had black hair and black eyes, just like you, and I also think I used to call him 'Susu-to', hehe, weird ain't it?" Sasuke's eyes widened. That name…

"Any ways, I have to be on my way before Jiraiya and Konan decide to scream my ear out because I'm late. Bye Sasuke."

"Wait." Naruto looked back.

"Yeah, tteba?"

"I'd…I'd like to..to…" Damn this was hard. "I…I want to…I want to consider you a friend…" Naruto stared at him for a few minutes before laughing, grinning and finally smiling at him.

"I'd be happy to consider you a friend ttebayo" Naruto's smile was so true that Sasuke couldn't help but smile back. Naruto started walking away and Sasuke was left to his thoughts.

Itachi heard the front door open and close.

"Oi, Sasuke, how do you use the-" He stopped when he saw his brother smiling lightly. It had been a while since he had seen a smile on Sasuke's face. So he decided not to ruin it…until he tried using the microwave and blowed up the kitchen…
