The 'Weird' Guy - Onyx and Sapphire

Sasuke and Naruto arrived in the Forest of Quiet Movement; seeing a giant millipede about to attack the unconscious boy.

"Naruto help me!"

"Right!"

The two began forming hand signs.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto said; one full row of several clones appeared.

"Fire Style - Grand Fire Ball Jutsu!" Sasuke said before a raging fire ball engulfed the millipede.

Naruto and his clones used kunai knives and shuriken after the fire and smoke dispersed; each one hitting right on target.

The millipede fell defeated before it could even lay a feeler on the unconscious boy.

Sasuke walked over and crouched. He felt for a pulse; not noticing how cold his hands were at all. Once he found it the boy flinched; making Sasuke jump backwards a little.

Naruto caught him. "What?"

"He moved, but I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing..."

"Go back over there...I think he's waking up..."

Sasuke nodded and crawled back over to the boy. He saw that his eyes were slowly starting to open into slits of pure sapphire pools. Sasuke's eyes widened. "H-his eyes..."

The boy's sapphire pools had opened half-way when his vision became clear enough to see someone next to him. "Wha...what happened? Where am I?" He asked himself.

"Hey...are you okay?" Sasuke asked the boy.

No response.

"If you can hear me, give me a sign that you're okay."

The boy's eyes opened the rest of the way. He noticed that Sasuke had him propped up in his arm. He saw Sasuke's onyx orbs; so full of concern. He saw a certain light about the onyx orbs Sasuke had. "What eyes...I can see myself perfectly..." The boy thought as he stared into the dark eyes. He realized that he could hear now.

"Are you okay?" Sasuke repeated.

The boy nodded.

Sasuke and Naruto both sighed in relief. "Thank goodness." Naruto said.

"What's your name?"

"What's yours?"

"H-he...spoke..."

"Well?" The boy asked; his voice still a little shaky.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. What's your name?"

"My name is Haruka Nanese, but you can just call me-"

"Haru?" Sasuke finished.

"Yeah..." Haru said; his face showing a small tint of pink; just like Sasuke's face.

"Where did you come from?"

Haru looked around and saw no portal; it had vanished. "There was a strange-looking portal somewhere...I swear...it brought me here."

"How?"

"I go into a fight with one of my friends and I fell into the pool that my swim team uses for practice. I flipped over underwater because I saw a bright light, and before I could do anything I fell through. I whacked my head on that tree...and tumbled a bit, but that's all I remember up to now..."

"I've heard about those portal-looking things somewhere, but I can't remember where I heard about them. Anyways you need to get out of that swim suit...it's not really that warm out here."

A cool breeze blew across both Haru and Sasuke's skin; sending chills up their spines.

"Here...le'me help you up." Sasuke said holding his hand in front of Haru.

Haru took Sasuke's hand and was pulled to his feet. "Thanks...Sasuke was it?"

"Yeah...you're welcome."

Naruto had already left to go back to the village.

"Hey...where'd the other kid that you were with go?"

"Oh you mean Naruto?"

"I guess so..."

"I don't know"

The two boys walked back to the village.

"Did you wanna stay at my house until that portal-thing appears again?"

"Sure."

"Cool...follow me."

"Kay."

The two ran to Sasuke's house at the Uchiha complex. It had become dark out by the time they got there.

Sasuke unlocked the door and let Haru inside.

"You live here?!"

"Yeah..."

"Where are your parents?"

Sasuke was silent.

"Sasuke?"

Sasuke turned to Haru, but still said nothing.

"Where are your parents?" He repeated.

Sasuke just shook his head and walked down the hall. He stopped and turned. "Follow me...I...I'll show you to your room."

Haru nodded and followed the raven haired boy down the hall. "I think I might have crossed some sort of line...by bringing up his parents...I wonder how they died..." Haru thought as Sasuke opened one of the doors.

"You can sleep in there."

The boy walked into the room. "Thanks Sasuke...and...um..." He said turning. "Sorry..."

"It's okay...I get that question a lot...it really doesn't faze me much."

"Really? You didn't really come off as someone who last his parents to me..."

"You should get some sleep..."

"Why...aside from the fact that it's late?"

"You look tired..." Sasuke said before turning to walk out the door.

Haru didn't have time to think...he just acted on a whim. He grabbed Sasuke's wrist. "Wait a second."

Sasuke turned; seeing the concern growing in Haru's sapphire pools.

"There's something else...isn't there?"

Sasuke gulped; he knew that that sudden truth would be dragged forward sooner or later.

"What are you hiding?" Haru questioned.

Sasuke attempted to yank his wrist away from the other boy. "I'm not hiding anything Haru."

Haru pulled Sasuke back and into his arms. "Tell me what you're hiding from me."

"What if I don't?"

"Then we'll be standing here for a while." Haru said. He sighed. "Geez...I haven't even known you for a full day and I'm already figuring out that you're hiding your feelings from others. I bet not even your closest friends can tell you're hiding everything away because you hide your emotions so well." Haru said.

"I told you...I-I'm not hiding anything!"

"Then stop struggling and say that to my face." Haru said; catching Sasuke completely off guard.

Sasuke stopped struggling and looked Haru in the eyes. "I'm not hiding anything."

"Your eyes say different...Sasuke...They deceive your words."

Sasuke put his head down; landing on Haru's bare chest (he's pretty much still wearing his swim suit.

"I don't wan to hurt you...I just don't want you bottling everything up inside you." Haru said putting his head on Sasuke's. "Look I'm sorry for prying at you, but I only want to help you..."
