Riding in Cars with Boys
Chapter 2

Sai opened the ancient rickety black gate that lead to the Uchiha mansion and once all were inside he closed it and proceeded to the main house. The Uchiha mansion was just that a mansion. It was a large home placed on 15,000 square feet of land. The manor stood two stories and was painted white on the outside with wide window panels, a glorious wooden garage door, and two separate guest houses on the side of the home fully equipped with kitchen and bathroom. Sai lead his cousin and friend up the cobble stone entrance way to the house and opened the large mahogany door, the town was so small people didn't even lock their doors when someone was home, because everyone knows everyone.

Sai looked at the unlocked door strangely; usually he was the first one to come home. That could only mean one thing, his mother was home. Sai sighed to himself as he closed the door behind Naruto and walked them through the foyer and into the main den area, in the den hung a family portrait for all to see. Sasuke looked at it for a moment, studying it to see if he could recall everyone in the picture's name.

The picture contained five men and one really beautiful woman (or so Sasuke thought), standing together, the two oldest men in the middle with their oldest children to the left and right and their youngest two in the center. Sasuke named them from left to right, Obito, Orochimaru, Madara, Tobi and then Sai on the bottom right but he couldn't think of the beautiful young woman who stood next to Sai's name was. Sai noting his cousins lost stare just smiled as he told Naruto to take a seat on the couch while he went to see who was home. Sai didn't even think twice about leaving Naruto and Sasuke in the same room together as he is appeared around the corner and up the staircase.

Sasuke took advantage of his cousin's absence to get a better look at the blonde, Naruto. He found Naruto to be something completely different from what he was used to dealing with. His eyes said something to Sasuke; they emitted a kind of imprisoned wild nature that was common in animals found in circuses and zoos. The boy's face drained of color when he noticed Sasuke eyeing him. He appeared extremely nervous and offset. Sasuke moved and sat on the couch next to him. Naruto's eyes traveled his length almost as if sizing him up.

"Hn… Dobe, you haven't said a word since we got here. Who's that pretty girl?" Naruto just stared at him as though he was stupid or otherwise ill-informed.

"What girl?" Naruto asked staring at the boy next to him. Naruto rubbed his hands against his black pants before going back to sitting quietly.

"Dobe, I know a girl when I see one. This one next to Sai is wearing a black dress with stockings and buckled shoes and I think that's mascara and possibly fake eyelashes with liner." Sasuke pointed to the pretty girl with waist long hair standing next to Sai again.

"I'm not a DOBE! And that's not a girl." Naruto shouted with more defiance then he had before. Sasuke's eye twitched and he looked like he was ready to smack the blonde boy when the front door opened and closed quite loudly.

The next moment Naruto was up on his feet and behind the raven haired 'girl' that had just walked through the door. The 'girl' stood in the doorway smiling at Sasuke as she took off her high heels and placed her school books and messenger bag down.

"Hello, Sasuke." She said in a very delicate but deep voice as she took the vacant seat on the couch. "When did you get here? Father didn't tell me you where coming today?" The girl said as she smoothed out a wrinkle in her skirt. Before Sasuke could answer Sai came running down the stairs with a very startled look on his face.

"Haku, I think you should go help mother. This is one of those things you two seem to understand about one another." Sai said as he pointed towards the stairs. "I think he would prefer talking to you about it."

The girl looked him. "What's the matter little brother, Mom having one of his moments?" Haku asked as he reached down to open his bag pulling out a compact and lipstick.

"Go help Mother, pretty boy. Hurry up before he decides to do something stupid and make sure to call Father after." Sai said as he went to sit on the couch next to Sasuke. Haku rolled his eyes. Sasuke gave them both a confused stare and then he thought back on his cousins.

: Flashback!! :

"Little boys are not so post to wear dresses Madara. What will people say when they find out?" A dark haired woman said as she pointed to a child dressed in a white laced dress with matching shoes and accessories.

"Mikoto, it's not really any of your business who our little Haku dresses now is it?" Another voice asked as another man with long black hair set down a little boy in a sailor suit down next to Sasuke. Said boy looked at Sasuke with a curious stare before reaching out and pulling on his hair saying the term, "Ducky head" over and over. The adults got a pretty good laugh out of the excited five year olds for a few minutes before Sasuke took his chubby toddler hands and reached up for his older brother so that he would be free from his annoying look alike.

Sai pouted cutely as his mother picked him back up and they walked in the opposite direction leaving Mikoto and her sons alone in the parlor. The little boy looked back over his mother's shoulder and smirked at Sasuke while the little boy standing next to his mother in a white dress smiled at him.

: Flashback end!! :

'Haku?' Sasuke thought to himself. "God, he's still wearing girl's clothes…" Sasuke muttered to himself, finally realizing that the cute girl he saw was his very male cousin, but Sai caught it.

"Of course Sasuke," Sai said looking at his cousin. "Haku always wears feminine clothing. Mom almost wanted to buy him pads when he turned 13 just in case but that's were Dad drew the line." Sai said with a slight smirk at the memory of his parents calmly discussing their third child over coffee.

"Your parents allowed it till now?" Sasuke said suddenly in disbelief. Naruto just snickered at Sasuke's obvious cluelessness to the working of the Konoha Uchiha household. Naruto whispered, "Stupid Teme." Sai missed it but Sai did not. He stared at Naruto in surprise. This was the first time in 6 months since Naruto had done anything like that. In fact Naruto looked different. He seemed even livelier then he had been since the Car Incident earlier in the year.

"Yes, Sasuke, Haku dresses as he wants. Our parents decided it was best to let Haku express himself as he wanted since they tried to change him once and it didn't go over well." Sai spoke remember how his brother woke up screaming when he discovered his father had cut his hair when he was asleep. Mind it had only been a bowl cut like his style but Haku had freaked out. "Besides," Sai added. "With Haku dressing like a woman it makes Mom feel more at ease with himself."

After that the three boys sat in silence until the sound of feet coming down the stairs was heard. Naruto stared at Haku when he rounded the corner and told him to pick up his stuff and that they were heading to Naruto's house. Just as Haku and Naruto walked out of the door another man rounded the corner. Sai nodded to his mother as he turned to take Sasuke into the kitchen.

"So, Mother are you feeling better?" Sai asked as moved towards the kitchen.

"I'm fine now. Why don't you and Sasuke stay here in the den and watch some TV while I make dinner. Your father will be home soon." Orochimaru said with a smile as he walked away towards the kitchen. Sai only nodded and sat back down next to his cousin and pushed a button on the couch so that a sixty inch television came out of the wooden floor and Sai clicked the button. An episode of Blood + was playing the episode was 'A Boy Meets a Girl'. During the episode Sasuke asks Sai about Naruto.

"What do you want to know about Naruto?" Sai said still watching the moving images on the screen more so than listening to his cousin.

"Is he available?" Sasuke asked suddenly and Sai turned his attention from the TV and looked at Sasuke. Sai just stared at his cousin before continuing.

"You don't want to get involved with Naruto he's got a troubled past besides Kyuubi and Deidara won't let you near him, not after last time." Sai said the last part under his breath but Sasuke heard him.

"You didn't answer my question?" Sasuke replied to his cousin as he made a fist and punched the wall next to Sai's head. Sai just looked at his cousin with cautious eyes.

"Yes, he's available." He said just as his mother called them in for dinner.

Meanwhile Haku had driven Naruto across town to a small farm house just outside of the city. The farm house stood in the center of a corn fields. The house was red with white window panels and a small garden in front of it. A barn was located about twenty meters from the house and stood two stories and filled with hay and horses. Naruto smiled at Haku when he pulled along the front of the house. The front door opened and a red headed teen walked out of the house. Naruto turned to Haku.

"Do you think he'll hate me too? Once he finds out about the car?" Naruto asks he reached for the door handle. Haku tried to smile for his friend.

"If you want to pursue Sasuke, go ahead. He's new to town so he will hear the rumors. It will be up to you to tell him the truth about what happened. Since it's only between you and God that really knows, after all you refused to tell the police." Haku said as he prepared to pull away and head home. Naruto only nodded and left the car. Haku drove away.

Chapter 2 ends

Also the hair cutting thing happened to a friend of mine. His father thought that by cutting his long hair it would make him more masculine. All it did was make him rant for three hours about his 'ugly' bowl cut and cry for his butchered hair cut. It wasn't funny then but when we look back on it it's hilarious. XD

Hope you guys enjoyed chapter two. I think in the next chapter Naruto and Sasuke will attempt to become a couple. Just so we are clear Sasuke and Itachi arrived in Konoha on a Friday so it's the weekend and there will be two whole days before schools back in session so the next chapter will take place on Saturday.

Lokivsanubis XD

Submissive Naruto will disappear by about chapter 4 so hang in there.
