A TorturedTourniquet Beta
Here I am with another update of ANGEL!!
Some of you didn't review both chapeters... You're very lucky I was in a good mood last week that I didn't scold you guys.... lol
So here's a good chapter for Angel. It's where Sasuke starts acting weird... Not like he wasn't already. *sweat drop* Oh and it's longer!
But seriously, it starts with some good ol' Naruto and Sasuke interaction!!
Shall we? Onward!!!

Disclaimer: So one day I was wondering why, in a place like FanFiction, do we have to put a disclaimer? Like I get the whole "I don't own" thing but seriously, it's common sense people!... Sigh I don't own Naruto, just the idea to this story!
Warning: The usual stuff... Yaoi. Cursing. Later lemons. Er- that's it I think. Nope, this chapter is a bit mushy lol.

And he seeped into the warmth, his body acting by itself. When did he start liking this feeling?

The Uchiha looked over his room. It was finally worthy of living in. It was to be expected after cleaning all day yesterday.

It was 2 days after Sakura's visit. The sun was warm for early spring, touching the horizon, as it set for evening.

The raven's body ached from the cleaning. He groaned, walking over to his cot. The robe was tied around his waist, the upper half sliding off his shoulders. It was a miracle how nothing showed.

He really wished they would give him pants... or at least underwear. Maybe they wanted him to freeze his balls off. Kami knows, the draft of no pants is only satisfying for only a minute. Then it just gets chilly down there.

Sasuke sighed. He started contemplating his next move. Relaxing shower, (in the only bathroom the ANBU let him in) or should he just go to sleep?

"Oi! I've come to visit you! Dattebyo!"

The bellow literally knocked the raven off his feet in surprise. His cold dagger eyes narrowed at the blonde blue eyed fox at his sliding door.

Naruto leaned against the frame. A porcelain mask was held in his grasp, his arms crossed over his chest. The grey vest was snug over the black shirt. His black pants hung low on his waist showing tan skin. A foxy grin spread across his face. "Scared ya?" he asked.

Sasuke scowled. Putting one and one together, the raven concluded that Naruto was a black op. "How they let you become an ANBU must have been a blind judgement."

The blonde puffed out his cheeks. "To think I came back faster than I needed to, just to be insulted. Dattebyo."

Sasuke smirked. "Dobe, you are an insult to yourself." the harsh words left his mouth as the raven stood to his feet.

Naruto flinched at the old nickname. It had been so long since he heard the chilling voice say it. Then, the kitsune realized the insult Sasuke had given him and growled. He tried to think of a comeback, but drew a blank.

The raven snorted. "Same old usurontonkonchi. A stupid loser."

The kitsune huffed over to the raven. "And you're still the same old teme! Believe it!" He poked his index finger at the inch taller's shoulder. But, then his eyes averted away. Tears began to well in them, making the azure stare hazy. "But I'm glad," he said, trying to stifle the sob in his throat.

The raven watched him. His own eyes found themselves leaking. The blonde had an overwhelming happiness seeping through him.

"Because, I really missed you teme," the blonde smiled. He dropped his arm. Then, he took a step back. "Sorry, Dattebyo," he mumbled.

He was about to step back more, when two strong arms wrapped around him. Sasuke held him tight. His head leaned against the blonde's shoulder.

I don't want to lose you, Sasuke thought. Not like I did everyone else.

Naruto was, to say the least, surprised at the raven's arms around him. He mused on how such a cold person could have such body heat.

He moved his arms around the Uchiha. It was such a happy, calming moment. Well, until Sasuke broke the embrace and spoke. "You're such a girl, dobe."

"Jackass baka," Naruto scowled. Somehow that reminded him of something. The kitsune checked his wrist watch. "Oh crap, granny Tsunade's gonna kill me, Dattebyo!"

Sasuke watched the other flip out. "Then go," he said, voice flat.

"Oh ah...yeah, bye," Naruto said. But before the raven could reply (not like he would) the other was out the door, running to the Hokage tower.

Naruto burst through the doors. He was heaving for breath. (A/N Baka could've just poofed there...)

"The gate secretaries told me you got in an hour ago," Tsunade seethed, the vain in her forehead throbbing. "Where were you?"

"Heh-heh, see..." Naruto laughed nervously. "I was starving and... uh so I went to go eat some ramen. Believe it."

"It took you an hour!" The women barked the statemnet then drank a cup of sake.

"Yeah, I also went to go see Sasuke," Naruto said. He took out the scroll he retrieved and placed it on the Hokage's desk.

The large breasted woman scrunched her eyebrows. "Just be careful with him."

Naruto suddenly became angry. "Don't tell me how to be around my friends, you old hag!"

"Listen brat," Tsunade stood and slammed her hands on the oak furniture in front of her. "A friend does not try to kill you! Two times!"

"He was blinded by revenge, Dattebyo!" Naruto yelled to his superior. "I can forgive Sasuke. Why can't you?!"

Tsunade breathed slowly, trying to calm down. "As the future Hokage you can't just forgive everyone."

Naruto looked at his sandaled feet and sighed. "I know, but..." His azure stare lifted back to the woman. "I know Sasuke, I just... forgiving him is the only thing I can do, believe it."

The moment was silent and stiff before a knock came to the door. "Yes?" answered the Hokage.

Naruto, who had his mask up, pulled the porcelain thing over his face. He jumped back against the wall near the door.

The large oak passage way opened. Another ninja walked in. It was Iruka. The brunette bowed. "Lady Tsunade, the elders want to speak with you about Uchiha sasuke."

The women waved him off. "Thank-you, Iruka-san."

The teacher left, not once noticing the ANBU blonde silently hiding against the wall. Tsunade sighed and moved away from the desk. Naruto stepped forward, watching her in anticipation.

"Let's go," she waved at him. "I want you to come with me."

His mind felt clouded.

Sasuke sat at the kitchen table, hands clasped before his mouth. Was he finally going crazy?

What made him hug Naruto, earlier?

The raven stood abruptly. He walked to the middle of the room and looked up at nothing in particular. "Hey!" he yelled.

An ANBU appeared before him. "Uchiha-san?" the main in white asked. His eyes looked partly annoyed.

"I need something to do," Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "I can't just sit here, doing nothing, forever." Lord knows what would happen to his sanity if he did. And he needed said sanity to do what he came back to Konoha to do. "I want pants too," he added before the ANBU nodded and vanished.

Oh Aniki give me strength.

The two ANBU door guards bowed to the Hokage. She opened the door and went in, the blonde fox ANBU behind her.

Two old geezers looked up to the door to see them.

"Council members," Tsunade bowed to them.

"Hokage-sama," The woman said. "Is there a reason to bring a black op in here?"

Tsunade's honey colored eyes narrowed. "Better protection, Utatane-san."

"The only protection we need is from the rest of the Akatsuki," The man said. "We are harboring a killer to one of thier members."

Tsunaded sat down in a seat across from the elders. "It's no more of a threat then what we already had, Mitokado-san." Unconsciously, her glance flickered to the ANBU standing by the door.

The old man fixed his glasses. "Where was he all this time?"

"Uchiha Itachi was annouced dead by the Akatsuki leader, 5 years ago," the old lady informed. The sentence pricked the ANBU's attention. His blonde brow scrunched beneath the mask.

"We'll have to wait for the questioning at the trial," Tsunaded sighed. She folded her freaky strong feminine hands. "All I can do is ask his old acquaintances to gain some information."

The blonde masked man crossed his arms over his chest. He might be slightly slow but he knew what the old hag meant by old acquaintances. She meant him. There went his training.

"Fine," Mitokado sighed.

There was a moment of silence before the female council member spoke again. "I'm aware that you sent..." She looked down in disgust, "The Kyuubi boy on another 'out of village' mission. Do you want Konoha to perish?"

"If the Akatsuki capture him, we could all just die then," the oldest man said.

Tsunade became angry. "Naruto is well capable to not get caught. He's faced many opponents, against most of whom he succeed in battle."

"Most," the other woman pointed out.

"How dare you judge him!" the Hokage said, slamming her hands against the table.

"Tsunade-sama, I would watch your tone when speaking to someone older and wiser," Utatane snapped her head to the other women, making her green and red earings sway.

"You may be older," Tsunade stood, shaking with anger. "But, I don't see how you're wiser!"

The ANBU's eyes widened under the porcelain cover. He was shocked at his superior's actions.

"I've had enough of your disgracing attitude twords Naruto," Tsunade continued. "I've decided to make him the next Hokage. Hopefully, you two will be long gone before then." She was breathing heavily. Abruptly, Tsunade walked to the door. "If there isn't anything else, I have other things to do."

The elders gaped at her in shock. Their mouths were open, eyes wide. It was such a strong surprise Tsunade thought one of them would break a hip somehow.

Tsunade put on a simple smile. "Have a nice day."

Naruto grinned as he left behind the scary Hokage.

Mwah ha ha ha! That's chapter 6!
If I get ten comments for this chapter I'll post up by friday! promise. The next chapter is pretty important... explains some stuff about Naruto that I haven't said yet... since it's been pretty Sasuke central so far.
Itachi: Ten reviews... that's a bit much, ne.
Natsuki: Don't talk to me... you hit me with a chair last week... and you're lucky Tourniqut didn't murder you, since I told her not to.
Tourniquet: *Grumble* Don't see why you don't just let me...
Natsuki: No... *looks at Itachi with narrowed eyes*
Itachi: It's the only way you will learn. You were making false accusations that I'm not nice.
Natsuki: Well if you had let me finish what I was saying instead of throwing a chair at my head you would have heard me say that you kinda are nice, considering you cared so much about Sas-
Itachi: *glares daggers* I am not nice...
Natsuki: You give me headaches, with your difficult storyline involvement and confusing Justsu powers *sigh* Anyways my lovely readers can't wait for your reviews... "So until we meet again, I am thinking of you always; I love you; and wish you were here... in my arms." (Lestat-Queen of the Damned)
Itachi: Why did you just quote Anne Rice?...
Natsuki: Because I love that line *grin* TEN reviews pweez!

Love Natsuki Lee
