'Thinking' "speaking"

*~* Chapter 2 – Saving Sasuke *~*

I woke up and I stretched. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes with the back of my hand. I looked outside and it looked like a nice morning. I think I'll go on a walk through the village. I haven't done that in a while. So instead of going for my favorite orange jumpsuit I put on a pair of jeans and a dark blue t-shirt and a black jacket. That way I won't be too noticeable.

I made my way down the halls to the kitchen. Everyone seemed busy and I didn't want a big breakfast so I made myself a bowl of cereal.

After I was done I rinsed out my bowl and put it in the dishwasher and headed to my parents room. I knocked on the door and I heard my mom's muffled voice say come in.

"Hey Mom?"

"Yes Sweetie?" She Said coming out of the bathroom brushing her hair.

"Can I go for a walk around the village?" "Last time I went without permission or guards and my mom had a cow and I got grounded.'

"You can but you have to take the guards with you."

"Why!"

"Because they'll keep you safe. Some people have things against royalty and some want to use them to get money by holding you hostage."

I huffed and rolled my eyes. 'I was fine last time'

"Fine. Bye, I love you."

"You're going right now?"

"Yeah."

"Ok bye sweetie. Be careful it's supposed to rain."

"All right."

I walked out of the palace with Kakashi and quite a few other guards.

'So much for not being noticeable'

Sasuke's POV ~

"Bye Mom. See you after school."

"Have fun Sasuke. I'll see you when you get back from the academy. I'll make you a treat ok?"

"Ok. I love you." I said as I hugged my mom goodbye and she kissed my cheek. Then I was headed toward the school. Although this school is for ninjas. One day I'll be as good as my brother in school.

When I got to school we had a normal day. A bunch of girls wouldn't leave me alone. It was there sorry attempt at flirting. It started like any other day. But in the middle of the day it all was different. A blonde haired boy came into our classroom.

"Iruka!" the boy yelled as he walked over to him.

Iruka stopped talking and looked at him. Then he smiled. "Hello Naruto. Never thought I'd see you willingly come to a classroom on your day off."

'This boy was really handsome. He had golden spiky hair. He looked older than me. And he had the bluest eyes I had ever seen. His skin was sun kissed. He also had whisker marks on his cheeks. I wonder if they're fake.' Then he said something about ramen but I didn't hear him.

Iruka smiled again. "I'd love to but I have class right now."

"Come onnn." He whined. "Kakashi's going to be there." He said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively which made Iruka's cheeks color a little bit.

Then the boy looked around the class. His eyes glanced over me. I had a sense of déjà vu wash over me.

"Do I know him?'

His eyes stayed put on me and I kept staring at him in this familiar trance like state.

Then suddenly the boy bowed forward and then he was back up. "I'm very sorry for interrupting your class. Although we all know sometimes you need a break from Iruka's rambling."

The class burst into laughter because we all know it's true.

Iruka's face reddened in embarrassment

That made the boy grin and laugh.

"Get out! Now!" Iruka yelled at the boy.

"Awwww but Iruka I thought we were friends!"

"Go!"

"Hehe fine. I'll leave."

Then he disappeared through the door.

'Then it hit me. He was the boy I saw when we were going to the grocery. The one in the yard. I couldn't see his house because it was hidden by trees.'

"Ok quiet down class. On with the lesson."

Later I stayed after to practice. I left when the sun was setting. When I actually reached the Uchiha compound it was dark. It was eerily quiet. It wasn't that late, everybody shouldn't be asleep yet. As I went further into the compound I realized that something was wrong. Doors were open, some windows were broken, and lamps with the Uchiha symbols were sliced.

'Who did this? Were we attacked? Robbed?'

Then I noticed something even scarier. There were dead bodies. Dead bodies of my family members. There were dead Uchiha's everywhere. When I saw this I ran home. It was quiet and that's what terrified me. My mom always met me at the door. Something was defiantly wrong.

"Mom! Dad! Where are you!"

I went to their room scared of what I might find. I came in and was horrified to see my parents crumpled on the floor with blood pooling around them, there was a man in the shadows and a blade visible in the light that was bloodied. My throat dried at the realization it was most likely my parents blood.

I started to go to them but was stopped by a searing pain. The man in the shadows had cut me with a shuriken he'd thrown.

"It's too late. They're dead." Sounded a familiar voice.

"Itachi?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Who killed them! Did you find them?"

"Foolish little brother you're looking at who killed them. I killed them, I killed all of them."

"What! Why! Why would you do that!"

"Because they were weak."

"How could you? They were our family!" I yelled while tears stated sliding down my cheeks.

Then Itachi locked my gaze and his tomas in his sharigan began spinning faster and faster.

Then I was at the gates of the Uchiha compound. Then it happened. I saw all of my family being murdered before my eyes and I couldn't do anything to stop it. I screamed and cried and yelled in agony and it made no difference how much I struggled. I was frozen in place and escape was inevitable. Then I was brought to the seen of my parent's room. I was forced to watch as they were brutally murdered, innocent and unsuspecting of their prized son's betrayal. I fell onto my knees and held my head as whirl wind emotions hit me and comprehension was brought again in a whole new perspective.

"Make it stop! Itachi! Stop!"

The image faded away and I registered Itachi making his way across the room. He stooped in front of me. Then a force so strong it knocked the wind out of me was delivered by a powerful punch to my gut. I coughed up blood.

"You're weak too."

"A-are you going to kill me too?" I asked fearing his answer.

"No. Grow up and become stronger. So I can kill you then. It's no fun killing you now with how weak you are currently. Now run, run foolish little brother."

I didn't need to be told twice. As I ran I heard a cackling and I shivered.

I ran far away crying. I ran and ran as far as my legs would carry me. To my luck it started to storm. I hadn't even realized but I stopped for air in a dark alley. I bent over and put my hands on my knees trying to regain my scattered breath. I looked around me. Then I heard something that freaked me out. It was foot steps. Slow deliberate foot steps coming closer. My eyes turned to saucers.

'Like I needed one more bad thing to happen to me today.'

I turned around and I saw a man closing in on me.

He was average height with silver hair with a tint of baby blue. He had dark eyes with glasses framing them. He was looking at me with a dangerous intent.

"Are you Sasuke Uchiha?"

"So what if I am?"

"My master would like to see you. He needs you to be his next vessel after he trains you."

"No."

"What?"

"I said NO!. Tell your "master" to shove it!"

"You're coming with me boy."

"NO I'm not four eyes!"

"Yes you are!" With those words I felt a sickening feeling in my stomach. He'd punched me in the stomach. When I fell to my knees he delivered a powerful kick to my face knocking me over. Pain exploded in my face and my ears were ringing. I could already feel a nasty bruise welling on my cheek. Then I was being lifted by my collar and he slammed me into the wall, banging my head against it making me see stars. I could feel some blood from where the skin was abused by the hard brick trickle on my head. Then he punched me once more for good measure to make sure I wouldn't resist. It made me spit up blood. The blood made a small river run down the corner of my mouth to my chin.

"You're going to come with me whether or not you want too."

"Never." I managed to spit out.

He hit me again. At this rate I was going to die. Because obviously he was going to try and take me by whatever means necessary.

"This day is terrible, I'm going to die and no one will know. They'll wonder why my body isn't amongst the others; maybe they'll think I was in on the massacre.'

Naruto's POV ~

I was walking around the village. Watching as different people bustled through the streets carrying out their daily lives. I'd just went and bothered Iruka and now I was strolling through the town.

'I wanted to have lunch with him but that was a fail. But I got to see that boy again. There's something about him that makes me want to know everything about him, his every secret his every flaw and his every desire. I don't understand why I feel this way about a complete stranger. But I feel as though I've known him my whole life.'

I glanced up at the sky that had become cloudy while I had been thinking. Then not a minute later it started to pour. I looked up into the clouds watching the rain fall from the sky. Enjoying the feeling of the droplets soaking my clothes. Thank god I brought a back up jacket.

"Naruto! Naruto! Naruto sire! Get under this umbrella!" A guard shouted shoving the orange umbrella my way.

"I'm good." Then I ran and jumped in a newly forming puddle.

I loved the rain. Then lightning lit up the sky and thunder boomed sounding like it was angry at someone. Then my fun was ruined because I was forced under the umbrella. I glared at the offending object above my head as I pouted as I signed in defeat. I inspected my clothes to find my jacket was only wet on the outside. It was warm and dry on the inside. I don't understand how or why, but I was happy I didn't have to change.

Then I heard something peculiar from an alley just in front of us. We hadn't reached it yet. I heard a yelp of pain and a slam.

I ran forward and peeked around the corner I heard my guards start to yell for me but I quickly silenced them with sign language. We'd all learned it just in case of an emergency where we couldn't speak but needed to communicate. I returned my attention back to the alley way. A big man had a boy shoved up against a wall. The boy looked for familiar and I realized, it was the boy. The one I'd seen in front of the gates and in class today.

He was yelled at and then brutally punched by the older man. It caused the smaller to cough up blood.

My own blood boiled as I saw him yell again and raise a fist to strike again.

I ran into the alley as fast I could and snapped twice to tell my guards to stay until my next notice.

"Hey! Leave that boy alone!"

The mans head turned and fist stopped at my sudden interference.

The man turned his head to me showing the evil smirk on his face. The evil bastard enjoyed hitting a child. I gritted my teeth together.

He laughed amused at my presence. "Who are you to tell me what to do little boy?"

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki the crowned prince." I growled

"Oh ho ho the prince eh?"

"I said leave that boy alone! Or did you not understand that part?"

"Oh no, I understood perfectly fine. I'm just not listening to an order from a snot nosed brat."

"If you don't leave him alone and put him down this instant I'll make you by force."

"Yeah half pint? You and what army!"

An evil smirk made its way across my face and I laughed as I snapped my finger that final time.

"Why, this one of course!" I said as 5 of my guards came in heavily armed and all fully dangerous.

"Now this is the last time I'm going to ask, put the boy down or I'll have my guards kill you on the spot. Got it? Oh and since I'm the prince and these are my royal guard this won't even count as murder or manslaughter, only self defense."

"Little bastard." He muttered as he threw the boy none too kindly on his butt and to the ground as he ran away, but before he rounded the corner he stopped.

"Orochimaru will have what he desires! He always does."

"Oh yeah! Tell your boss to shove it!"

(Little did I know Sasuke had already said the very same.)

After the jerk disappeared I returned my attention to the boy.

I knelt in front of him and I absorbed his looks. He was soaking wet, he had blood coming from scrape on his head and a cut on his shoulder. He has bruising as well and looked confused, startled, relieved, scared, and just plain hurt. I could see these things written in his eyes as we stared at each other. He had tears streaming down his face; he'd started crying when the man left. But his eyes were way to red for that to have just started. I would know.

"Are you ok?" I asked softly

Tears continued to roll down his face but he nodded yes anyway.

"Really?"

He took a minute to calm down before speaking. "I'm fine… b-but my parent. And he choked a sob and choked on his words difficult for him to finish his sentence.

"Your parents? Do you need me to take you back home? I can get you there. Where do you live?"

He sobbed again and was shaking his head violently no. His body was trembling.

"M-my parents a- re are dead. All of my clan.. Massacre…only one left... My brother he… he killed!"

I put my hand on is cheek and spoke softly in a soothing voice.

"Why don't you come with me? I'll take care of you." I wiped away his tears with my thumb and he looked into my eyes hesitantly. We stayed that way for a while, looking into each others eyes trying to figure each other out.

"Ok." He finally muttered.

"Kakashi! I choose him. I want to take in this boy and have him live with us. He's going to be my "pet" since I have to have one anyway. I don't want anyone from the list anyway. It seems just wrong to use a list. So anyway he lost his family so I'm taking him in. Would you get a car or something? I don't feel like walking in the rain. Oh and take them with you I said pointing to the other guards."

I turned back to the boy not waiting for a response. I noticed he was shaking and shivering. He looked seconds to becoming a popsicle with this sudden rainy chill. I unzipped my jacket and slid it off my shoulders. Then I slung it over the shivering boy's shoulders, hugging it to him like a blanket. He snuggled into the warmth it gave off and smiled at me gratefully.

"Are you sure you want this boy?" Kakashi asked making his presence know again after he'd gotten a limo.

"Absolutely. Now can you get the car? My Mom's going to kill me if I get sick because I was out in the rain. I said getting wetter by the second.

"Yes sire."

When Kakashi left I turned to face the boy again.

"Come here. Let's get you out of the rain. I'll carry you. Hop on" I said to the younger turning my back toward him and crouching.

He looked at me like he was unsure of whether or not to do it.

"Come on. I don't bite…hard."

I laughed when his eyes widened.

"Seriously though it'll be fine. I'm not going to hurt you."

Then he crawled on my back.

I carried him out of the bloodied alleyway and onto the sidewalk.

"By the way, what's your name? You're going to be living with me and I don't even know it!"

'He was quiet for a while and it made me think that maybe the bump had made him forget his name? But he wouldn't remember his family dying. But My thoughts were cut short when he spoke'

"Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha."

"What a nice name. It fits you. My name is Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki."

I spotted a red canopy for a store and made my way under its shelter. I stood there waiting on Kakashi called ride to arrive with him as well. As I waited I rocked side to side swaying weight from one side to my other and all of a sudden Sasuke felt heavier. I tuned my head slightly to see a sleeping face. He had one arm wrapped around my neck holding him in place while the other clutched my jacket tighter around him. I smiled at how cute this little Sasuke was.

Then Kakashi showed up and came around with the limo. He got out and opened the door for me, I usually don't like him doing that but I didn't complain this time seeing as my hands were busying supporting Sasuke so I wouldn't drop him. When I got seated after I'd laid Sasuke in the seat I put his head in my lap so he'd have a pillow. These seats weren't that comfortable.

"Are you sure about this Naruto? You don't even know the boy, yet you're taking him home. It could be dangerous."

I gave him my best "seriously?' look I could muster and pointed at the calm sleeping face of Sasuke. "Does he look dangerous to you? A beaten and scrapped up little boy?"

"Well he might have enemies that could come after him."

I gave a blank face. "So do I. Anyway, Yes I'm absolutely positive. I don't know why but I feel a connection to this boy."

"So you're making him your slave?"

"No." I growled. I asked him if he wanted to come live with me and he said yes. Its clearly not slavery to the willing. But I just want his companionship I don't need him for a pet it's just an excuse for mom and dad to let me have him stay with me. They told me I need a personal assistant anyway."

"Yes and they also gave you a list to choose from. He's not on it."

"Yeah but I really feel this connection to Sasuke. It's very hard to explain. I feel like if I let him go I'll be missing out on something big in my life."

Well do you think you're parents will let you have him stay at the palace?"

"Yeah, they're softies. He doesn't have anyone to take care of him. His parents are dead. He can't be two or three years younger than me and he'd be living all alone."

"I'm fine with this idea. I just wanted to make sure you were secure and safe. So we'll see what your parents think."

Then Kakashi's eyes widened. "Oh god is he hurt? He said eyeing Sasuke's wounded head and cheek. The blood on his clothes, the cuts.

"Yes, he took quite a beating from that man. "But this cut… I said pulling open the hole a little wider to show Kakashi the one all the way through his shoulder "is a little older looking. Like earlier this afternoon. He needs to see a doctor to make sure none of his injuries were too serious. "

"We'll get him checked when we get to the palace."

"Yeah, Tsunade isn't here though so I'll have to have Sakura check him out."

"Good idea. It's really better to get it done right away."

"Yeah."

Sasuke stirred pulling my jacket made makeshift blanket tighter around him and over the shoulder I'd exposed more.

Kakashi smiled "He really is adorable when he's sleeping."

"He is, he looks so peaceful."

Then we arrived at the palace.

I tried picking up Sasuke but I realized too late he was heavier in his sleep. It's hard getting someone out of a car anyway let alone a limo. Stupid Kakashi should have helped me. I got him up but lost my balance and tumbled to the floor with Sasuke.

His eyes flew open when we hit the ground and he blinked a couple of times. His eyes quickly cleared of sleepiness and he looked at me. His face was dusted with red because of the close contact we had going on. Our faces were so close we could feel each others breath. We stayed that way for what forever staring at each other both too mortified to move. Then I quickly shot up. My face turned a little pink. "I'm so SO sorry Sasuke! I didn't mean to drop you, its just people are very difficult to carry out of limos and I didn't want to wake you up."

Sasuke sat up and ran a hand through his hair nervously. "It's fine. It was an accident." Then he looked and noticed the car had stopped. "Where are we?"

I smiled. "Our home."

"Ours?"

"Yes ours, my house is your house! Come on let's go. I grabbed Sasuke's hand as I led him out of the limo.

When we got out Sasuke's jaw dropped. He thought his house was big. This place made his house seem like and apartment. He didn't know I was a Prince. He didn't exactly hear that part because he was in to much pain. But he regained senses enough to listen to me demanding his release. When I said house he didn't think I'd meant Palace. I watched as his eyes sparkled like this house was the prettiest thing he'd ever seen. Like he couldn't believe he'd be living there.

He turned and looked at me. "THIS IS YOUR HOUSE?"

I rubbed the back of my neck nervously and gave a nervous smile. "Did I forget to mention I'm the Prince?"

"Kind of! Yeah!"

"Well what do you think?"

"It's amazing."

"Well let's go in I'll show you around.

I walked forward leading the way.

Little did I know when I walked in I was going to be ambushed by my parents.
