"Naruto! Help Naruto!" Mother…

"Don't you dare lay a hand on her!" Father…

Their screams sounded, followed by a bark and whine from Kyuubi.

Why? Why did he do this to my family?

We trusted him.

I can't die like this.

I won't.

I need to save my parents.

Get up.

Get up…

"Naruto!" Another one of their screams.

I NEED TO GET UP.

"Naruto!" the blue eyed fox opened his eyes and looked around. He was surrounded by people. Quickly, he turned to the first familiar face.

"Sasuke," he crawled off the table he was laid on and onto the teen. The fox sobbed into his neck and held onto his shirt tightly. The rest of the people stared at the two oddly before Sasuke motioning for the other teens to leave. He needed to talk to Tsunade. And Now.

Naruto looked up from his spot to Sasuke's eyes. Only then did he begin to calm down and notice the other blonde in the room.

"s-sorry" he said shyly. He moved so he was behind Sasuke, barely peeking over his shoulder to her. The woman nodded solemnly and looked to Sasuke.

"How do you know him, Sasuke?"

"Kakashi." Surprisingly, Tsunade nodded.

"Explains as much." She looked back to the blonde. "Do you remember me Naruto?"

He nodded.

"Do you remember anything else?"

He lied and shook his head 'no'.

"Hmm. Glad to know you are here, but I am sorry you haven't passed on yet."

Sasuke, finally being fed up with not getting to ask any of his questions, blurted the first one on his mind.

"Well, how the hell do you know Naruto?"

She glared at him. "Brat. I was a close friend of his parents."

This made him stop dead in his tracks. Hadn't Kakashi said that Naruto had lasted a couple of generations through his family? How old was Tsunade?

"I am a witch. So I tend to live a little longer than a normal person."

Sasuke sputtered at that.

"What the-"

"Sasuke, no cursing in front of her." Naruto interrupted his friend. "You don't know what horrible curse she will put on you."

Tsunade smiled at that. "Brat, I don't use magic all that much now." She wiggled her fingers and produced some golden sparks. This made Sasuke, who was all new to the world of sorcery and magic, wearier and backed up. He held his arms out in an attempt to shield the blond behind him.

She sighed. "I'm not going to hurt him or you in fact. It would be bad if I got blood all over this room here."

Sasuke stared wide eyed with a hint of fear. Naruto giggled by his ear and blush crept to his cheeks and ears. She was kidding? SHE WAS JUST FREAKING JOKING?

"We are leaving. Now" Sasuke grabbed Naruto's wrist and pulled him towards the door which lead to the back door of the restaurant.

"Whoa now, didn't you come to have a bite to eat? Stay, the meal is on me." Tsunade smiled in an attempt to get him to stay. She didn't want the brat to go just yet, no, not when she just saw him again.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes and tensed his shoulders. "Fine, but only because the meal is free."

XI WILL HAVE MY COOKIES DAMMITX

Konoha was cleared out of all of its customers because of the scene with Naruto earlier, so Sasuke and Naruto told the story of their first encounter to pass time. Tsunade smiled at the part where Sasuke and Naruto fell asleep together on the couch, and pointed and called Naruto cute when Sai was mentioned. All in all, they had a good time, and Sasuke warmed up to the old witch. At the end of their story telling though, she frowned in Naruto's direction.

"So you don't remember anything at all?"

Once again Naruto lied and shook his head 'no'.

"Alright," she said resignedly.

Later on, the boys left with a hearty Good-bye and were on their way back to home.

'Home, home is with Sasuke' Naruto smiled at himself with that thought. He began tugging on the sweater he was wearing and biting his lip. He was falling for Sasuke, and he was falling hard.
