DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto... That's it.

Naruto POV

I sighed as I stepped out of the principles office. Sasuke was right; skipping school when you already have a month of detention was not a good idea. I didn't know our principal was so... mean. I was called to the office as soon as I got to school so I didn't have time to grab my books before class. I practically ran to my locker and put in my combo as fast as possible once I had escaped the cave of horrors. "Naruto Uzumaki!" Oh what now?! I groaned and shut my locker. I was surprised to see a very pissed off looking Sasuke in front of me. "I've got a bone to pick with you." I sighed then nodded my head. Personally I think getting in trouble with the principal is better than being in trouble with Sasuke.

With a sigh I closed my locked and followed Sasuke down the hall. He pulled me into an old janitor's closet and closed the door behind us. Hmm, not my first choice for this conversation but okay. It was quiet for a few minuets, only our breathing was heard. I realized that he hadn't turned on the light so I reached over and flipped the switch. Sasuke was standing in front of me with his arms crossed over his chest looking very upset. "You have to tell me what's going on!" He said angrily. "What was that yesterday?! Did you think that was funny?! Because it wasn't." I sighed as I ducked my head. "I know."

"And it made me really pissed that you woul-wait what?"

"I'm sorry Sasuke. You were right. I was just trying to be funny and... it really wasn't." I had decided this morning that I would go along with whatever Sasuke said. Even though it killed me that he still thought I was joking there was definitely a better time for all of this and it sure as hell wasn't now. His expression softened a bit and he sighed. "Just promise you won't joke about that again, okay? I don't know why it bugged me so much but... it did." He frowned up at me. I nodded then held up my pinkie. Sasuke smiled slightly as he locked our pinkies together, which caused me to smile in return. "So... What are you doing this weekend?"

I decided now was the time to change the subject before it got too awkward. "Whatever you're doing." Ahhh, that's what I like to hear. "We could go see Grown Ups at the theatre." Sasuke seemed to consider it. "Yeah, or we could go see paranormal activity." I fucking beamed. See, this is why I love watching movies with Sasuke. Sure he likes that romance stuff, but he has never passed up a good horror movie before. "Sounds good. So Saturday?" He nodded smiling excitedly. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him to me. "Why are you hugging me?" He asked, his voice muffled by my chest. "Because I want to." I answered with a shrug. He hummed in response. "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. You might not want to use your gym clothes today."

"Why…?"

"You really pissed me off..."

The rest of my day was spent getting dirty looks from all my teachers. I'm guessing Tsunade told them all about my little 'incident' with Neji. Speaking of Neji... "Kiba, where's Hyuga?" We were just heading out of gym and down to the locker room to change. Apparently Sasuke had washed my clothes... with road kill, or at least that's what it smelt like. Luckily Kiba had a spare pair of shorts for me to wear during class, but he only gave them to me after a very long and annoying laughing fit. The sneaky little bastard. How did he even pull that off in the first place?! It's called a locker for a reason! I looked over at Kiba when he didn't answer and saw him smirking at me. "Why? You want another go at him?" I chuckled as I followed him down the hall. "Yes, but seriously do you know?"

"I'm pretty sure he's in the hospital for his check up or something." I groaned then rolled my eyes. "Oh come on. I didn't hit him that hard." Kiba stopped walking and stared at me amused. "Three stitches Naruto. And you say you didn't hit him that hard?" I shrugged then shoved my hands in my pockets. "Man, I didn't think you had it in you, but I'm sure glad you did." Kiba grinned as he patted me on the back. I laughed at the fact that one of my friends was congratulating me on sending another guy to a hospital. This is why Kiba is my best bud. He's just as fucked up as I am. We were about to round a corner when I heard a distant voice call out my name. It was high pitched and cheery. Sakura. I turned around and smiled at my sister who was racing (more like skipping) down the hall towards me. "What's up Sissy?"

"I have great news!" She squeaked, coming to a skidded stop in front of Kiba and I. "Well, you gonna tell me? Or just stand there jumping up and down?" I laughed as she did exactly that. "Udon and Moegi are coming to visit!" She squealed while clapping her hands together excitedly. My smile immediately faded. "Our cousins?" I asked praying she'd say no. "Of course! Who else?" I internally groaned. Kiba noticed my less then enthusiastic response and gave me a knowing smile. "Aren't you excited?!" Sakura practically yelled. "Ecstatic." I said with 0 interest. Sakura flung herself in my arms and gave me a big hug. I put my arms around her to hug back but she stiffened and pulled away with her arms out stretched like she was still hugging me. "You just got out of gym, didn't you?"

She asked with a disgusted look on her face. Kiba laughed and I nodded my head giving her an apologetic smile. "Ew!" She yelled walking away from us. "Ew ew ew ew ew!" I heard her mumble all the way down the hall. I laughed at my sister's expense then continued my path to the change rooms. "So, no love for the cousins?" I sighed as my shoulders slumped. "Don't get me wrong. I love Udon and Moegi, they're the cutest kids I've ever met, it's just..." My voice trailed off as we walked through the door and into the change room. "Just what?" Dammit, I really don't want to tell him this. It's so embarrassing! "Whenthey'reoverSasukepaysmoreattentiontothemthenme." I mumbled as fast as possible. Kiba gave me a funny look. "What?"

"I said when they're over Sasuke pays more attention to them then meeee." I practically whined to him.

Kiba stared at me for a second and I almost positive he was going to make some dumb ass joke about me being completely and utterly gay for Sasuke. "You know that's like really selfish right?" Hmm, that didn't insult me in anyway. (Well, except for the fact that he called me selfish.) "I know." I shrugged. "But I can't help it." I shut my mouth as I realized where this conversation was going. Talking to Kiba about my feelings for Sasuke was the last thing I wanted to do right now. Yes he was one of my closest pals, but these things take time. "I see." Was all he said. After having a shower and changing my clothes I headed to my last class of the day. English. "Okay class, today we're going to be reading Romeo and Juliet." I groaned as my teacher Iruka Umino passed out the books. Why do we have to read this book?

It's a tragic love story and they both die at the end. Doesn't seem very school appropriate in my opinion. "Chapter one-" Mr Umino paused as there was a knock on the door. He sighed then put his book back down on his desk and headed for the door. I took this opportunity to turn around and talk to Lee. "Do you have any idea why we have to read this shit?" I asked as I dropped the book onto my desk. Lee shrugged then did the same thing. "Why wouldn't you want to read it?" Ino butted in on our conversation. "It's a beautiful love story." I smirked then leaned back in my chair. "Yeah, and it ends with Romeo drinking poison and Juliet stabbing herself in the chest. Very romantic." Ino huffed then crossed her arms. I smiled then turned my attention back to the front of the class. "Naruto." I lifted my head up at the sound of my name. "Yes Sir?"

"Could you come here for a minute?" I nodded and slowly made my way to the front of the class room. I was surprised to see Tsunade standing in the door way. "Mrs Tsunade would like to borrow you for a little while." I cleared my throat then slowly nodded. "Yeah, sure." She motioned for me to follow and as I was walking out of the room I saw Lee slid his finger along his neck indicating I was dead meat. She marched us down to her office where we both froze when we saw Sasuke leaning against a wall next to her office door. "Sasuke? What are you doing here?" I asked confused. "Sasuke, why aren't you in my office?" Sasuke straightened up and made direct eye contact with me.

"Umm, I was wondering if I could quickly talk to Naruto first." Tsunade looked between the two of us, sighed, then opened her office door and disappeared inside. I raised an eye brow at him in question. "Naruto, Neji's back." My muscles tightened at the sound of his name. I thought he was still in the hospital?! "He's in there." He said, quietly jerking his head towards the principles office. I rounded my shoulders and headed for the door. "Naruto, wait-" Sasuke grabbed my arm and pulled back violently. "She wants me to go in there too." I turned to him, my eye brows knitting together. "Why?"

"She wants all of us to work this out." My eyes went wide as Sasuke started to shake. "I can't do it Naruto... I can't go in there." I wrapped my arms around him and held him tightly to my chest. "You don't have to." I whispered back. I planted a quick kiss on his head then pulled back. "No ones making you do anything"

"I can't do this anymore..." He whimpered. "I can't even relax in my own school because of him!" He pointed toward the door furiously. "I don't want to be scared anymore." He stared up at me with such pleading eyes that I myself wanted to break down and cry. "I need you to do something for me..." He whispered as he ducked his head. "Anything." I promised as I rubbed my hands over his arms, attempting to sooth him. "Can you please tell Tsunade what happened... what really happened?" At that moment I wanted to pull him in my arms and jump for joy, but I settled on a sigh of relief. "Of course I will. I'll do it right now." I smiled down at him and hugged him again. "I'm going to be with you every step of the way. I promise." He nodded into my chest and gripped me tighter.

Suddenly the office door burst open and standing in the middle of it was Neji Hyuga. Sasuke's head whipped towards the door and he slowly started to pull away from me, horror crossing his face. Neji smirked at him then turned to faced me. "Tsunade wants you now." I gave him my best death glare and moved over slightly to shield Sasuke from his view. The big bandage across his nose did little to ease my resentment. Neji sighed then leaned against the door frame. "I'm surprised you kept your mouth shut Uchiha." I felt the warmth of Sasuke's body press into my back. "I guess you knew what the consequences would have been huh?" I bawled my fists at my sides then practically growled at him.

"Listen to me you fucking bastard. If you ever-" I stopped talking as I felt the heat of Sasuke's body leave my back. I spun around just in time to see him running out of the front doors and straight for the parking lot. I turned back to Hyuga with my fist raised, my full intention to punch his lights out, but dropped it immediately when I saw Tsunade coming up behind him. "Was that Sasuke just now?" I nodded, still glaring at Neji. "He had to go home and do dishes." Neji smirked. He spun back around and headed back into her office before I could kick him in the shin. "Mrs Tsunade, can I talk to you for a minute?" Tsunade sighed then closed her office door. "What is it Naruto? I don't have all day you know." I sucked in a big breath then ducked my head down. "What Neji told you wasn't true."

Tsunade huffed then crossed her arms across her chest. "Hurry up Naruto." I lifted my head back up. I wanted to look her straight in the eye when I told her so she wouldn't think I was joking or anything. "Sasuke didn't choose to do anything with Neji. He made him." Vial rose in my throat and I struggled to swallow it down. Tsunade lifted an eye brow at me. "That's a bold statement Naruto. Do you have any evidence?" I groaned in frustration. "He's got bruises on his arms! I checked them myself." Tsunade started tapping her foot and it made me want to rip my hair out. "Then why would Sasuke agree with Neji's story?" I gritted my teeth together and closed my eyes to calm myself. "Because he's afraid of him... Don't you see!" I raised my voice to get across my point. "He's terrified! That's why he left! He can't even feel safe in his own school anymore!"

Tsunade sighed and dropped her shoulders. "Please." I whispered desperately. "Please believe me." It was quiet for a minute. Tsunade seemed to be having an internal battle with herself whether to believe me or not. If she didn't my only other option would be to go to Fugaku myself. There's no way he wouldn't believe me. "Alright, I believe you." My eyes went wide and I couldn't help it... I hugged her. A big old hug that probably looked stupid as hell but I didn't care. I pulled back and blushed when I saw the shocked expression on her face. "Umm, I'll-" She cleared her throat as she readjusted her clothing. "I'll keep Neji here. You go to the police station and tell them the story." I nodded quickly. "Yeah, for sure." I spun around then started heading down the hall way. "Naruto-" I skidded to a stop and turned back to her. "Thank you for telling the truth." I nodded then quickly continued down the hall.

I sped to the police station as fast as possible and almost choked on my spit when I saw Sasuke's car in the parking lot. What was he doing here? I jumped out of my car then raced for the front doors. As soon as I stepped inside multiply sets of eyes landed on me. I recognized most of them to be local police officers and then there was Fugaku and Sasuke back in the corner. I smiled uneasily at the officers then hurried over to Sasuke and his Father "Teme? What are you doing here?" I whispered, hopefully quiet enough that only he heard. Sasuke sighed then looked back and forth between his Father and I. "I needed you to be here... before I told them". My eye brows shot up in shock. "You tell them? but I thought you wanted-"

"I asked you to tell Tsunade... not the police." I nodded slowly then looked over to Fugaku. He looked surprisingly calm. You'd think after a Father found out his only son was almost raped he'd be a little more upset... (AN: Sorry people. No Itachi in this story!)

"Alright Sasuke, he's here. Now will you please talk to me?" Oh... He hasn't told him yet. God dammit this isn't going to go well. "Dad, do you mind if I talk to officer Kakashi first?" Fugaku looked at him for a minute then turned to me. "Alright... He's in the back." He answered Sasuke while staring at me. I didn't like the look he was giving me. He obviously knew that I knew what was going on and was going to bombard me with questions as soon as Sasuke walked away. But I don't know if I should tell him or not. Sasuke quickly glanced at me and even I could barely notice he nodded his head. Well, I guess that was my answer. I squeezed his hand for a second for moral support then watched him walk into the back room where Kakashi was drinking a coffee.

Just as I predicted Fugaku turned to me and crossed his arms over his chest. "Alright son, what's going on?" I sighed then sat in a nearby chair. "What did Sasuke tell you?" Fugaku raised an eye brow at me but answered anyway. "He told me something happened at that boy's party last weekend and that he was sorry it took him so long to come to the police." I nodded silently. Telling Sasuke's Father this news was definitely not on the top of my list of things to do, but if Sasuke needs me to do this then I have to. "He also said he couldn't say anything unless you were here." I couldn't help it. A small smile escaped my lips. I know I shouldn't be smiling at a time like this, but knowing Sasuke needs me that much just makes me feel good.

"Naruto please..." I looked up, hearing the desperation in his voice. "I'm really starting to worry and so is Mikoto. I'm even more worried over the fact that he can't tell me on his own and is asking you to tell me instead." Well damn, I guess Sasuke's subtle nod wasn't so subtle after all. "Fugaku, you might want to sit down." As soon as the words escaped my lips I regretted it. Fugaku's features changed to down right scared. I had to swallow loudly before continuing. "Last week at the party... I sorta left Sasuke..."

"You left him?" I slumped farther back into my chair and sighed. "I went off to play a game with a few of my friends and... well, something happened." Fugaku groaned in frustration then started pacing in front of me. "Well obviously something happened! That's why were here!" I flinched at his sudden out burst. I was starting to reconsider telling him. Maybe I should just let Sasuke do it... "Naruto, what happened to my son?" I looked back up at him. His eyes were pleading for me to continue. He looked so much like Sasuke at that moment that it made my heart ache. This man has been like a second Father to me for years and now I tell him this shit?

It's not fair... "I don't know all the details but... he ran into someone from school and they got talking..." I swallowed the vomit that rose up in my throat. "Sasuke said this guy brought him into the bathroom and-" I stopped short as Fugaku's face turned red. I could almost see the steam coming out of his ears. He looked like a tomato ready to explode. "He said he touched him... against his will." I continued slowly. Fugaku bawled his hands into fists and spat out one word. "Who?"

"Neji Hyuga." I responded with just as much hate as Fugaku had spoken with. I realized I probably just put Hyuga in his death bed and I didn't care one bit. Hell, I'll dig the grave. Fugaku growled then stormed out of the station. I was more than a little disappointed to see he didn't have his gun with him, but his hand cuffs at the ready was enough for now. 'Well,' I thought. 'Maybe he'll get a good kick in the balls or something.' I spent the next 20 minutes sitting in that little chair waiting for Sasuke to come out. At one point I decided I'd better call my Mom and let her know what's going on. It's safe to say she was more than a little happy that Sasuke had finally told the police about what happened. After talking to my Mom for a few minutes, I also texted Sakura and let her in on what was going down. Our conversation basically went like this:

I'm at the police station and Sasuke's giving a report to Kakashi about Neji. Fugaku went to get the bastard. -Naruto

ARE YOU SERIOUS?! YES! I'M SO FREAKING HAPPY RIGHT NOW :DDD Is Sasuke okay? -Sakura

I don't know yet. He's still in there. -Naruto

Well when he's done bring Sasuke over for a slumber party. SCHOOL BE DAMNED! -Sakura

Yup, that's my sister. I practically jumped out of my seat when the back door swung open and hit the wall. I watched silently as Sasuke walked out of the room with his head down. It didn't look like he was crying. He had something else in his eyes, maybe accomplishment? I didn't know, all I knew was that I've never been more proud of him in my entire life. I quickly stood up and hurried over to his side. He looked up and smiled at me. "Naruto, I thought-" He got cut off as I pulled him in for a big hug. "I'm so proud of you Sasuke." I kissed the top of his head and he chuckled. "Thanks, but I never would have done it if it wasn't for you." I nodded then smiled into his hair. "How'd it go with my Dad?" He asked into my chest. I grimaced then pulled back slightly. "As well as any over protective Father would react." Sasuke nodded then sighed.

"Where is he?" He asked, looking around the room. I grinned. "He went out to get that bastard." I expected Sasuke to smile back but instead he slowly backed away from my arms. "How long ago did he leave?" He whispered. The color was draining from his face and if I didn't know any better I'd say he was staring at a pool of blood. "Umm, about 20 minutes ago..." His eyes went wide and then he gasped. "That means he's going to be back soon..." I raised an eye brow at him in question. I knew it was going to be awkward and stuff but he doesn't have to be scared of his own Dad. "They're going to be back soon." My eye brows shot up as I realized why he was so panicky. "Come on." I whispered as I took his hand. "Lets go out the back." He nodded then followed me to the back door way.

We slipped outside and hurried into to the parking lot to our awaiting cars. "I have orders from Sakura saying you are sleeping over tonight whether you like it or not." He smiled a little at me then got into his car. "I mean it Uchiha! This slumber party is just as much mine as it is Sakura's." I beamed as I watched Sasuke laugh as he pulled out of the parking lot. When he passed by he blew me a kiss and I pretended to grab it and put it in my pocket. Yeah, I know it's cheesy, but I would never pass up a kiss from Sasuke. (Even if it was an air kiss.) Well, that's one problem solved... Now I can finally show Sasuke how much he means to me. I can't wait!

Sasuke: I like this chapter. :]

Naruto: *Gasps* He's smiling!

Laura: Yay! I'm happy with this chapter too. Sasuke has finally told the truth! And I ended it with adorableness! What's better than that?! Oh and I would suggest you watch the movies I mentioned. Grown Ups literally makes me laugh every time I see it (because I'm really immature.) And Sasuke I'm glad you're not mad at me anymore :}

Sasuke: Yeah, well, despite what I say... You are a pretty good friend... and I'm glad I met you.

...

All: *Laughs hysterically*

Laura: Ha... okay haha... Next chapter... Umm, hehe, will be out on Tuesday...

Naruto: *Wipes away tears* Ahhh, okay see ya next time. Bye!

Laura: We really do have a love-hate relationship don't we?

Sasuke: *Smirks*
