Fix you

Chapter 3: A favor for a favor

Itachi glared, "He's not interested in your one night stands. Do yourself a favor and leave him alone."

"I'll stay away from him, but I can't guarantee he'll stay away from me."

Itachi chuckled. "Think what you want, Sasuke. If I find out you've hurt this kid in any way, you'll be out on the streets in a second. Do I make myself clear?"

"Crystal." I replied with a sarcastic tone.

I swallowed the last shot of Vodka on the table, the burning sensation moved down my throat and into my stomach. Why was Itachi so fixed on keeping Naruto away from me? My thoughts were interrupted by a swift movement of golden hair out of the corner of my eye. I looked at my watch and realized it was time for Naruto to come in. My eyes traced his every movement as he walked over to his table. Smiling faces greeted him around the room, it was like his soul brought all light into this dark place.

"Mmmm, doesn't that look tasty?" Vodka reeked from Neji's breath as he leaned over my shoulder.

"Shut up," I rolled my eyes and looked away from Naruto. "It's only ten and your already smashed."

"Am not," Neji laughed. "I'm just warming up." He brought another shot to his lips but I covered the glass before he could drink it.

"Enough, I'm not dealing with your drunken ass tonight."

"Oh come on, lighten up."

"I have no intention of lightening up, It's only another two hours before I have to deal with Orochimaru and I have my Brother on my back as usual."

"Don't worry about Orochimaru, and you're Brother seriously needs to get layed."

I laughed a little. Neji could always make me laugh or at least say something I found amusing. A glanced over at Naruto once again but this time his blue eyes met mine and our eyes locked.

"He's staring again." Shikamaru stood at his table besides Naruto's.

"I know." Naruto replied quietly.

"Have you said anything to Itachi about the other night?"

"No," Naruto shook his head slowly. "He asked me about it, and I just told him Sasuke introduced himself. He seemed angry, though."

"Probably because he knew Sasuke didn't just 'Introduce' himself." Shikamaru chuckled. "I'm assuming you failed to mention he offered you a one night stand?"

"I told him it wasn't a big deal but he insists on protecting me. And since my Father was such good friends with him, he feels it's his duty but I can take care of myself."

An awkward silence passed between them. Naruto shuffled the deck of cards in front of him a few times, trying to avoid eye contact with Sasuke.

Shikamaru cleared his throat. "Any news from your Mother?"

Naruto looked up. "No, she's living with my Grandmother right now while my dad is in rehab. She said she would call as soon as she settled in."

"Do you think he'll recover?"

Naruto shook his head and shrugged. "I don't think so."

When I could no longer stand looking at Naruto, I found myself in the bathroom stocking up on the pills and coke. I wanted to shoot myself. Although, shooting myself would have been an understatement. First, I wanted to torture myself. Shooting myself just seemed too quick and painless. I was a miserable excuse of existence. I lifted my head up and looked at myself in the mirror . . . ugly. That's the only word I could use to describe myself. Many people walked around and looked up to me like I was some God, but they didn't know that pass the handsome face they saw was this ugly, horrible person.

The beeping on my watch interrupted my thoughts. It was midnight and that meant it was time for business. Some serious business. I splashed some water on my face and moved my hair away from my eyes. I looked terrible but at least the withdrawal had passed.

Orochimaru was late as usual, I sat back in my chair and waited patiently. I saw a shadow approaching the door and then leaned forward in my chair.

The door opened slowly, two men came in first then opened the door for Orochimaru. That bastard actually had body guards. One of them was a tall, blond man. The smirk on his face just gave me the chills and the other man was shorter and wore glasses. Orochimaru's dark hair fell below his shoulders, his skin still a dull, gray color. I cringed at the ghastly sight.

"Sasuke Uchiha, always a pleasure." Orochimaru smirked and sat down in the chair across from me.

"I wish I could say the same. You actually had the nerve to bring body guards? Not afraid are you, Orochimaru?" I leaned back in my chair.

He laughed in his throat and glanced at his body guards. "Deidara, Kabuto, please wait outside while Mr. Uchiha and I have a word in private."

The men did as they were told and closed the door behind them.

"Now, what can I do for you, Sasuke?"

"You can stop selling my dealers drugs, ass-hole." My voice was deep.

He looked rather stunned at what I had said but he quickly relaxed. "Tsk tsk, that wasn't very nice.You have proof of this?" he asked.

I raised an eyebrow and leaned forward again. "I have my sources."

"Ah, I see. Well then answer me this; what does it matter to you anyway?"

"Everything!" I answered angrily. "I will not have my dealers on drugs, or any of my employees for that matter.You are fully aware of how I feel about this."

"But it's alright for the owners to be on them?"

I narrowed my gaze. Now I was starting to lose my patience which I didn't have a lot of to begin with. "What I do in my life is not your concern. If my Brother finds out about this-"

"Oh, I see now." he interrupted. "This is about your Brother."

I lost all patience and lunged forward and gripped his collar violently. 'This is my Casino, I'm in charge, I make the rules. Understand? This is your last warning, Orochimaru, I see you around here again and I will see to it personally you never see the light of day again, do I make myself clear?"

"Sasuke," He shook his head. "That temper of yours is going to get you into a lot of trouble someday. We are both men of business. I need the money, you need the money. Perhaps we can work out a deal. I'll supply for you, free of charge. And I'll keep my dealings underwraps so Itachi knows nothing of it."

"I don't need your charity..." I could barely answer with a straight face. I did want to take his offer. If I kept buying the drugs Itachi would realize where the money was going. I didn't have much of a choice.

I cleared my throat. "Give me time to consider your offer, until then, I don't want you coming around here, understand?"

He smirked. "I knew you'd come around."

I released his collar gradually. "Now get out."

Itachi had spent the entire night walking around, he would occasionally come into my office or walk over to the bar where I was. He was watching me like a hawk, making sure I didn't mess up. I felt like a child and I was living in his shadow once again.I ignored his wandering eyes and focused on Naruto. I glanced over at Neji who was occupied at the bar as usual, then stood up and made my way over to Naruto. His table seemed to be crowded, the other dealers had taken their breaks and Naruto was left with the crowd.

"I do believe you are sitting in my chair." I said as I approached him.

He looked up with an confused expression. "Huh?"

"Go on your break, I will take over for you."

"I don't need your help, I'm fine." He looked down.

"You don't have to be afraid to look at me." I made sure my tone sounded hurtful.

I pushed him aside and took the cards from him. "Now go take a break, you look exhausted."

He finally excepted his defeat and smiled lightly. "Thanks."

I smirked to myself and glanced up at him walking away. "Oh and Naruto," He glanced over his shoulder. "You owe me."

He stopped in his tracks, I only smiled in return.

Sasuke is a sly bastard now isn't he? lol! Hope everyone enjoyed it, please review.
