To be or Not to be?

Chapter 16

A/N: There's going to be a bit of a time skip..just a few hours. I got this chapter idea from Suigestu's phone call in the last chapter and from listening to Yann Tiersen- La Dispute meaning conflict *wink* *hint*.. ***ALSO IM IN NEED OF A GOOD SUMMARY WRITER! PLEASE PM ME IF INTERESTED!*** Thanks and Enjoy! :D

~Naruto pov~

I know he's hiding something from me..

I walked thru the small lively streets of Konoha..the lights of shops glowing on the sidewalk as if a lighted pathway to somewhere distant

Cars rolled and screeched by, making the smell of gasoline mix with the scent of smoke and cooked food from the surrounding restaurants

Most of the crowd was students out of school, couples, tired workmen and drunkards

I scoffed at a group of guys that were noisy and loud..they had been walking ahead of me for a while

I was starting to think that they were going to the same place I was..

I almost most shouted to the heavens with joy as I watched them follow two girls down another street

I spotted my destination and sighed in relief at the open sign..

The orange and red arrow shaped neon sign that read 'The Arrow' was familiar to most of the towns people in Konoha..it was a place for teens to hang out at but it was also a bar in the back

I pushed the glass framed door smelling my favorite food..ramen

There was a counter right up front with booths to the side and towards the back

A red swing door with a small window separated the bar from the teens

I sat at the counter pulling my jacket collar up so that no one would notice me unless they took a nice hard look since the lighting in the place was dim

The business owner, who usually kept the teens in check as another employee worked in the back, stayed behind the counter

His gruff looking appearance made him look like nothing to play with

I ordered a bowl of ramen eating hungrily..

I didn't want to stay long..I still had to get food for home..

As I slurped the last of my meal I heard the door open

" Damn Suigestu! She sure gave you a good one!"

I turned my head slightly to see the same group of guys from earlier with Suigestu

Dear Kami, this may be my first prayer to you but I'm in desperate need of your help..I beg of you!

I turned my head back to my bowl..trying to figure a way out..

" Hey Tanzo give me and the guys a round of my usual" Suigestu ordered

The owner gave him a stern look before grabbing 7 cups

The group of guys started to sit themselves..talking loudly and disturbing the peace of the other customers

I sat quietly until I felt a tap on my shoulder

" Move kid"

I mumbled an apology before scrambling out of my seat..

In all my efforts to move I bumped to the next guy that had just seated himself next to me

I could have cried

" What the hell? " he growled turning " Hey punk watch it!"

I turned to mutter an apology which was my biggest mistake at the exact moment..

My face was seen from across the room..

" Dobe?"

I looked down started out the door ...at first I was walking..then speed walking..then full blast running to the small supermarket

" He went that way!"

I could hear the group running after me..their voices and footsteps clear to my ear..I didn't dare look back for fear that their distance would be closer than I expected.

I looked for the alley that I knew was a shortcut...of course that thought of tripping in a dark alley like the character in a movie would do, ran through my head but that wouldn't be me today...

That alley lead right to my apartment building..

Forget the food..I wanted to be safe in my own bed

I skidded into the lobby of the building before pounding up the stairs..my breathing in short gasps..at this moment I took the chance to look back..

I stopped to see nothing..no one..I went back down the stairs thinking I had gotten away..

I opened the door only to hear a shout

" What the he-.?"

I turned to the building garage entrance to see half of the group laying on the ground in pain..some running away limping...

I stepped towards the garage

~Sasuke pov ~

"What the he-.?" the guy started before he felt my fist against the side of his head..

His eyes rolled to the back of his head before he crumpled to the ground

" Bastard.." I growled holding my knuckles..

I looked at the mess that I had made around the parking garage before smirking

Wait until Suigestu gets word of who did this to his boys

I looked to see my bruised knuckles only to frown

" Sasuke?"

My blond love stood looking at me..his eyes soon seeing the knocked out bodies

" Hn?" I answered walking towards him

" How..why are you?" He asked quietly

" You told me there was parking garage. So I got a parking place.." I shrugged

He looked down hiding his blush

" Thanks.."

I smirked before walking towards the building door..he followed quietly..

Once inside his apartment I made a bee line for the bathroom..

I turned the sink water to cold before running the water over my knuckles..

I sighed at the relief from pain before finding gauze..

I have to tell him now..

I looked in the mirror hand was wrapped before heading out..

Looking up I found him on the bed..his legs crossed as he hugged a pillow to his chest...

" You're ready for bed already?" I asked sitting next to him

" Well let's not mention what happened earlier" he said looking at me

I smirked "You still owe me a round"

He flopped his side " Not now..I'm tired" before cutting out his light

I looked at him in the dark

" Hey..I have to tell you something.." I started

" Go to sleep..or ill sleep on the couch..just tell me in your dreams" he grumbled

I wanted to say something back but decided not to...

I pulled him to me even when he mumbled "no"

I wish I could say it that easily..

A/N: Hoped you enjoyed it!

I had to make up for the last time I didn't update..

I might update between now and New Years!

The Arrow will be brought up again so that's why I made it so vivid

By the way this is a rated Teen fanfic ..I'm not going to get descriptive details or make the characters do something that a M rated fanfic would do..I think everyone can handle a skipped part of the fluff scene..plus I do that my stories..and no one has said anything yet.. okay? ;D

Anywho

Thanks for reading
