10. Chapter 10

Oh kami this chapter is going to be long...

Hello my wonderful students! This is the long awaited chapter (well, for me anyway) and it contains a drunk Sasuke! (Yay!) and it's not going to be like a page long drunk Sasuke. NO. IT'S GONNA BE A MARATHON OF DRUNK SASUKE. Your welcome. I hope you guys liked the last chapter surprise! I may do another if it's requested enough!, this time more Narusasuness in them, but I'm rambling on and on and on and-Sorry...OK on with the story!.

Morning had finally come in Gecia and was beautiful as usual. It was also the day that Team 7 were to go back to Konoha. So probably a normal day...

Almost.

Sasuke had woken up in Naruto's arms again and decided to ignore his embarrassment and shove Naruto off of him. So Naruto awoke with a start. Naruto didn't exactly know that he was holding Sasuke as he slept again, and just wondered how he fell on the floor, Naruto looked up from the floor and saw Sasuke hopping out of bed and giving a stretch before yawing slightly. Naruto replicated his actions before standing up and rubbing the back of his head. Naruto was adjusting to the morning when he saw movement flash around the room. Naruto cocked an eyebrow before recognising it to be Sasuke who was walking around rather fast, and seemed to be looking for something. Naruto shook his head slowly before tilting his head at Sasuke's actions.

"Sasuke? What are you doing?" Naruto yawned out before sitting on the bed watching Sasuke zip across the room in a panicked manner. Sasuke sighed before glaring a little at Naruto.

"None of your business" Sasuke spat out, Naruto sighed and shook his head, So much for trying to be nice for a change...Naruto thought as Sasuke walked over to him and gave him another glare, "Get up"

"What?"

"I said get up" Sasuke repeated threateningly, Naruto was too tired to argue and stood up. Sasuke looked where he had been sitting and frowned slightly before turning back around and searching the room again.

"Are you looking for something?"

"I told you it's none of your business"

"Maybe I can help"

"You can help by shutting the hell up and staying out of my way, dead last" Sasuke snapped harshly, both boys froze silently after that, even Sasuke felt slightly guilty at what had he said. Naruto wasn't angry though. Hell, he was more concerned to be honest. Naruto quietly walked over and saw how tense Sasuke was, even though Sasuke was turned away from Naruto, Naruto could imagine the kind of expression Sasuke had.

"Sasuke, what's wrong?" Naruto asked calmly, Sasuke sighed and shook his head, he continued to rummage around in the drawers in front in him.

"I'm sorry...it's not you, I just lost something really important okay? Just...go downstairs and see if Sakura and Kakashi are up, I won't be no more than an hour" Sasuke explained quietly, Naruto refused to take that as an answer and pursued.

"I'll help you look!" Naruto offered happily, Sasuke sighed and turned around shaking his head.

"Naruto-"

"Please, I want to help" Naruto interrupted, Sasuke was silent considering what Naruto was offering and folded his arms.

"It's...a necklace"

"Necklace? I've never seen you wear something like that before" Naruto questioned, Sasuke shook his head.

"I don't wear it around my neck, but I kind of keep it with me all the time" Sasuke confessed, looking at the ground slightly embarrassed about talking to Naruto about this sort of thing. Naruto didn't seem to think of it as embarrassing and nodded his head instead.

"What does it look like?"

"Huh? Oh um, it's a sharktooth" Sasuke described, Naruto looked surprised before chuckling slightly.

"Badass" Naruto replied, Sasuke blushed slightly as Naruto turned around and began to search the room energetically, Sasuke blinked before he also began to search the room. A good 10 minutes passed with no success and Sasuke was getting panicky, Naruto tried to calm him down but Sasuke seemed like the world was about to end.

"Damn it!"

"Don't worry, we'll find it"

"And what if we don't Naruto? I can't lose this necklace Naruto, it's too important!" Sasuke exclaimed as he really began to tip the room upside-down. Naruto watched helplessly and felt saddened when neither he or Sasuke could find it, he also felt heartbroken at Sasuke's expression which looked as if he was going to cry, and not 'He looks a bit sad' kind of crying, I mean 'He is going to have a mental breakdown' kind of crying. Suddenly a question popped in his head to distract Sasuke for a while.

"Um...so what makes this necklace so special?" Naruto asked, trying to calm Sasuke, it seemed to work when Sasuke put off trashing the place and stopped to answer Naruto's question. Sasuke sighed and turned to Naruto, running a hand through his raven hair.

"It's...the necklace that Shen gave me"

"You mean yesterday, when you two were hanging out?"

"No...I mean that when I was a child, Shen gave this to me" Sasuke explained, Naruto's eyes widened and stood there slightly shocked, Sasuke sighed and realised that he should probably explain. "I managed to find out that up till the age of 4, me and my mother would make constant trips to Gecia, but...certain things happened that caused my mom to stop taking me to Gecia...it also explains why I can't remember my childhood, because it seems most likely that my mom erased my memory of this place...it's probably why the my earliest memory is the massacre" Sasuke finished, Naruto was silent when processing what he was being told and didn't know what to say.

It was only until Sasuke went back to looking for the necklace did Naruto snap out of it. He sighed and felt even more compelled to find the sharktooth necklace now that he knew the significance of it, Naruto looked up at the ceiling and arched an eyebrow. There was a fan in their room, they knew that, but last time he checked it didn't have a necklace hanging from it. He could jump pretty high, even without chakra, so he jumped as far as he could and just managed to catch the necklace and smiled at it when he saw that it was what Sasuke was looking for.

"Hey Sasuke!"

"Yeah?" Sasuke responded turning around and freezing when he saw what Naruto had in his hand.

"Is this what your looking for?" Naruto asked playfully, Sasuke blinked before zooming over and taking the necklace, Sasuke was relieved and gave a sigh of relief as he looked up at Naruto who was grinning triumphantly, "Just when you thought I couldn't get more awesome, right?" Naruto joked, Sasuke blushed slightly and looked to the side.

"Naruto-"

"Nah, don't mention it, now come on! I'm hungry for ramen!" Naruto exclaimed happily, Naruto walked passed Sasuke and beckoned him to come with him. Sasuke put the sharktooth in his pocket before following Naruto out of their room.

Since according to Naruto, Sasuke was being too slow, Naruto had grabbed his wrist and dragged him through the inn and village, and all Sasuke could think of was...how lucky he was. God, Naruto had really stuck with him through thick and thin, hadn't he? Naruto and him would fight, yeah, but Naruto never actually regretted meeting Sasuke. And I just treat him like shit...Sasuke thought sourly, letting himself be dragged by Naruto, who didn't seem to notice Sasuke's quietness. They arrived at the local ramen shop and took a seat in the booth that they had been sitting in the past few days. Of course Naruto ordered about 6 bowls of ramen, while Sasuke claimed not to be hungry at all. Naruto happily munched away at his ramen when he noticed how Sasuke looked out the window, like something was bugging him.

"Sasuke?"

"Hm?" Sasuke responded, turning his head to face Naruto, who refrained from his ramen to give Sasuke a concerned look.

"You OK?"

"Mm-hm"

"You've not...lost anything else or something?..."

"No"

"Oh...OK" Naruto replied, Sasuke turned his head to look outside the window again, but Naruto didn't go back to his ramen, he instead kept staring at Sasuke worriedly until Sasuke sighed and looked back at Naruto.

"Your going to stare at me until I give in, aren't you?" Sasuke stated, Naruto nodded his head making Sasuke sigh and lean back a little into the booth, "I...I have been thinking about Itachi..." Sasuke confessed quietly folding his arms, Naruto's eyes widened and forced himself to remain silent while Sasuke spoke, "I just can't help but think that Itachi is my half-brother, and that he and me had different fathers...it's strange to think about it, it also makes me question about how much Itachi really knew...including this, maybe that's why he didn't kill me because he didn't consider me Uchiha, but Shen was a Uchiha..." Sasuke sighed and shook his head, "I don't know...it's too confusing to think about..."

"Well...think about it like this, now your in the same boat as everyone else"

"Excuse me?"

"I mean, your always so sure and knowing about everything you do! It's like your world is just black and white, but now..." Naruto trailed off before smiling, "It's like seeing you like an actual human being and not some robot" Naruto explained, Sasuke was silent before letting out a small chuckle.

"Dobe"

"Teme" Naruto replied playfully, but a little bit more friendlier than normal and Sasuke gave a small smile in response, equally as playful and just a bit too flirty to be just considered 'friends', it was like this for a moment before Naruto gulped and felt the need to say something important, "Sasuke I-"

"OH MY GOD! JEN LOOK WHO IT IS!" A voice squealed happily from behind them, gaining their attention. It was the two girls from before, the happy-go-lucky Luna and the spunky blue-haired Jenny, Jenny was being dragged over by the squealing girl who plopped herself down next to Naruto while Jenny was thrown next to Sasuke. "Oh my god guys, we haven't seen you guys in, like, forever!" Luna cried out, surprised by her own statement, "We totally need to go shopping some time! I mean it be like a crime if we didn't do it!" Luna said joyfully, practically bouncing in her seat and suddenly gasped, "O.M.G! I just remembered there is a clearance on bandannas! Naruto! We have to go! I have seen the cutest little orange bandanna for you! And a purple one and a green one and a blue one and a orange one, oh wait I already said that! Hee hee hee! Silly me! C'mon, let's go before they sell out!" Luna screamed out, suddenly getting up and pulling Naruto who didn't get a chance to intervene at all. Leaving Sasuke and Jenny in the booth in silence, Jenny looked up at Sasuke and gave a quick nod of her head.

"Sup" Jenny greeted jokingly making Sasuke break out into a small chuckle, he shook his head as Jenny got up to sit opposite to Sasuke rather then next to him, "Hey dude, how's it shaking?"

"Why are you two here again?"

"Oooh! Feisty today! Why? We didn't interrupt anything did we" Jenny teased, making Sasuke blush slightly, Jenny in return gained a cheeky grin, "Oh? So we did interrupt something, eh?"

"D-Don't be ridiculous"

"Oh please, you two looked like you were going to start making babies" Jenny replied, Sasuke's eyes widened before blushing even more.

"When did you-?"

"Just before Luna noticed you guys, I saw you two looking at each other, now hell! If those weren't 'come and fuck me' looks, then I don't know what is!" Jenny explained making Sasuke's face tomato red.

"Y-You're sick..."

"Thank you very much"

"It wasn't a compliment!"

"It was in my books" Jenny responded, Sasuke sighed and shook his head while folding his arms. "But seriously, how you doing?"

"Does anyone ever answer that question honestly?" Sasuke scoffed, Jenny smirked and shrugged.

"Depends on the last time they've been laid!" Jenny joked, Sasuke shook his head bemused and leaned back into the booth, "Though...I gotta ask..." Jenny started, leaning forward over the table in a mischievous manner, "How did you and your boyfriend meet?"

"He's not my-"

"Ugh! Fine! The blonde guy that you want to father your children then!" Jenny exclaimed, Sasuke sighed and rolled his eyes. Sasuke looked out the window and saw that across the street that Luna was dragging Naruto around and throwing clothes at him with a giant smile, while Naruto was just trying to keep up.

"Well, if you must know..." Sasuke started...but had trouble finishing the sentence, because...he couldn't remember, he blinked before his head began to hurt as he tried to remember, but he failed, "I...don't know..."

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"I mean I don't remember..."

"Jeez, you two must have known each other since...the beginning!" Jenny proclaimed amazed by the fact that Sasuke couldn't remember, she thought it was cute, but Sasuke felt...a little embarrassed and guilty and a bit stupid that he would forget something like that, it's not like he was the most sentimental person in the world, but he did expect that he would remember something like that, Maybe I should ask Naruto...Sasuke thought for a moment before he noticed Jenny smirking at him, he raised an eyebrow at her.

"What?"

"I know what you were thinking"

"And what would that be?"

"That glitter is the herpes of arts and craft, I mean when glitter gets on you, you better be prepared to be stuck with it the rest of your life, you know what I mean?" Jenny explained, Sasuke blinked before letting out a laugh, he wouldn't usually do that, but Jenny really made him laugh, Jenny laughed a bit with him before Luna came in dragging Naruto who had a orange and blue bandanna around his neck. Luna smiled and pulled Jenny up and sat Naruto down.

"OK booooys! We have to go, oh my god so sad! But we'll be baaaack! OK! See you my cutie blonde! And you're not to bad yourself little raven! OK, love ya!" Luna laughed and pulled Jenny who gave a wave to both the boys, as she was flown away by the ever-energetic Luna. Naruto gave a sigh of relief before slouching in the booth.

"I like Luna, she's really nice, but..." Naruto trailed off and bit his lip, he looked side to side before looking really guilty, "...maybe just a bit...much" Naruto finally said, but looked shameful as he said it, Sasuke rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"You don't have to feel bad about confirming the fact that she needs to ease up on the phrase 'Like oh my god!'" Sasuke said, replicating Luna's voice, Naruto chuckled and shrugged.

"I just don't like saying mean things about nice people"

"You call that mean?"

"You know what I'm talking about!" Naruto replied, huffing childishly. Sasuke rolled his eyes before Naruto was silent and seemed to wait for Sasuke to say something, "Well?"

"Well what?"

"Aren't you going to complain about being stuck here with the other girl?"

"She's...okay" Sasuke responded slowly, Naruto's eyes almost popped out of his skull while his jaw hit the ground.

"Whoa whoa whoa wait! Are you telling me there is someone out there who you don't want to kill?" Naruto asked incredulously, Sasuke raised an eyebrow at Naruto's reaction to Sasuke not completely hating someone after the first few meetings.

"She wasn't particularly annoying, no" Sasuke answered, Naruto looked surprised before smirking and giving a nudge with his leg to Sasuke.

"Oi teme, you find yourself a girl up to your standards, finally?"

"Of course not, don't be ridiculous" Sasuke retorted annoyed, Dobe! Doesn't he realise that she is just the one person that isn't trying to either kill or sleep with me?...Sasuke thought, Maybe if she was a guy...Sasuke thought, he shook his head and gave a glare towards Naruto.

"So your not interested in this girl?"

"Not really dobe" Sasuke said before looking to the side, "...hardly my type anyway..." Sasuke mumbled quietly to himself, but Naruto managed to hear it and grin like an idiot.

"Holy crap!"

"Jesus Christ! What now?" Sasuke exclaimed, annoyed by Naruto's outbursts, Naruto clicked his fingers and nodded to himself.

"I knew it! Me and Sakura joked about it, and you tried to deny it ages ago, but I freaking knew it!"

"For crying out loud, what?!" Sasuke shouted at Naruto, Naruto opened his mouth but looked like he realised something and shut his mouth and retreated back a little, "What the hell are you getting all quiet for?" Sasuke asked with a raised eyebrow, but Naruto continued to keep silent, "Naruto..." Sasuke growled, warning Naruto not to mess with him, Naruto didn't cower under the pressure and just continued to stay silent, Sasuke sighed and shook his head, if Naruto wasn't going to say anything then he wouldn't try to find out what the hell Naruto was trying to keep from him, "Fine, if you must continue to act like an idiot you can do it on your own" Sasuke stated getting up and was about to walk pass Naruto, who grabbed his wrist.

"W-Wait! Sasuke I-" Naruto started but he pulled on Sasuke a little too hard and Sasuke fell back...

Right onto Naruto's lap...

So Sasuke was currently straddling Naruto who sat in the booth just as surprised as Sasuke, Naruto's hand was still holding Sasuke wrist while Naruto's other hand had landed on Sasuke's hip, Sasuke's free hand was laying on Naruto's chest. They both had a look of shock as it soon settled in their minds what had just happened, neither moved due to being completely frozen in embarrassment, they were just grateful that the ramen place didn't have many costumers in the place. Well, that was until a certain smiling Uchiha had walked in the place and saw the fall.

"Ha ha c'mon guys, get a room!" Shen joked walking towards them, Sasuke's head shot up and blushed red, he jumped off Naruto and looked at Shen embarrassed.

"I-I-It's not what it l-looks like!" Sasuke stuttered, looking bewildered as Shen just chuckled, Naruto in turn jumped next to Sasuke equally as flustered.

"Y-Yeah! What he said!"

"It looked like you were making babies" Shen replied happily, Naruto went into a full spasm of making half-sentences and weird gestures, while Sasuke just blushed even more.

"Why do people keep on saying that?!" Sasuke responded annoyed, after Shen had calmed them down and stopped teasing the poor boys, Shen had mentioned the fact that he had a scroll for each of them. Both boys were instantly excited, of course Sasuke contained and concealed his excitement for a new form of power, while Naruto hopped around like a frog on speed. They arrived at Shen's villa and went into a room that looked like a rather large library, Shen dug around the scrolls and books and triumphantly pulled out two scrolls and turned to the boys, "A little birdie told me Naruto, that you have a technique called Rasengan and that little birdie also reminded me that I have a really cool technique to add to your Rasengan, and no I don't have a scroll for talking little birdies before you ask" Shen said, effectively shutting Naruto's mouth who just about to ask that question. Shen turned around and handed him the scroll, "Now when you use Rasengan on someone, this little beauty will magnify a pressure point on Rasengan making it implode a irregular spit!"

"Um...What?" Naruto asked, completely confused, Shen just chuckled.

"Basically, it will make a pretty firework with your Rasengan and temporarily blind your opponent" Shen explained, Naruto gasped and looked at the scroll excitedly.

"That's so awesome!" Naruto exclaimed, Shen chuckled as Sasuke rolled his eyes, Shen did a few hand signals before placing a poke on Naruto's forehead.

"Now don't tell nobody, but I put a little seal to hide your chakra, so you can go and practise in the back, OK?"

"Wow! Really?"

"Really really"

"Ha ha! You're so awesome!" Naruto complimented before running off to go find the garden, Sasuke sighed at his childish behaviour and saw Shen giving him a look saying 'Let it slide, he's having fun' Sasuke sighed again before Shen handed him a scroll.

"Now, you see this scroll is very cool..." Shen started smirking at Sasuke, "If there is a fire, then this scroll can teach you to make the flames separate from the fire and they'll dance around like little figures, the cool thing is that the flames don't burn when they dance"

"I've never heard of a jutsu like that before..."

"Huh? Ah well, that's mostly because you need the sharingan and also I'm the one who invented it in the first place for-" Shen came to a halt on his speaking and went silent, Sasuke was confused before understanding what Shen meant.

"You made it for...her?"

"Mm-hm...originally it was for Mikoto, but, heh heh, Sasuke really liked it too..." Shen explained, Sasuke looked sympathetically at Shen who gave him a sad smile and began to walk, "C'mon Skip, let's go check if Naruto had managed to do it" Shen walked off and Sasuke just looked saddened as Shen walked.

"Shen..."

"It's fine Skip, really! C'mon let's go"

"Shen I...I have something I need to tell you" Sasuke said nervously, he took a few steps forward and gulped, I...I have to tell him about me...about everything... Sasuke thought as Shen turned to face him.

"Hm? What do you need to tell me Skip?" Shen asked in a friendly manner, smile across his face, but it didn't help Sasuke who still felt conflicted and gave a shaky sigh.

"I-I um..." Sasuke gulped, "I-I'm your-"

"HEY GUYS! I DID IT!" A voice shouted from the garden, Shen laughed and shrugged.

"I suppose you'll have to tell me later, since Naruto has probably broke the seal by now!" Shen chuckled and jogged towards the garden as Sasuke sighed and held himself.

"So much for telling him..." Sasuke mumbled before walking after Shen, Sasuke arrived in the garden and saw a gleeful Naruto and Shen patting him on the back, in what Sasuke assumed, to be a 'Well done'. Sasuke sighed and walked before Naruto began to brag about how easily he had got it and how amazing he was to be 'blessed' with such awesomeness.

Shen casually mention that the technique was the same difficulty level as a shadow clone, this prompted Naruto to wilt like a depressed flower. Soon after, Naruto jumped up panicked and asked for the time, he freaked out and told Sasuke that they were meant to be getting the train in 30 minutes and they still needed to finish packing. Sasuke told Naruto he would catch up with him but he needed to do something first, Naruto understood and whispered Sasuke good luck. Sasuke knew he didn't have much time, but something like this would probably take longer than 30 minutes so all he could say was a quick goodbye and turn away cowardly, but on his way out, unbeknownst to Shen, Sasuke left a small note and...something else. He began to run to catch up with Naruto who was also running, Sasuke caught up to him and they ran together as they talked.

"So did you tell him?" Naruto asked.

"No..."

"What! Why? Sasuke your supposed to-"

"It's fine dobe, I left something for him" Sasuke stated plainly, causing Naruto a quizzical look.

"What do you mean? What, like a letter explaining everything"

"No... just one sentence and...something else..."

"What else?"

"..."

"Sasuke?" Naruto asked again, Sasuke remained silent until Naruto stopped running. Sasuke came to a halt and turned back around to see Naruto's concerned expression, "Sasuke?...look, believe it or not, I know my boundaries, so I won't ask what you wrote, but I wanna know what you left...because I have an idea of what it is and I really hope it isn't what I think it is" Naruto said passionately, Sasuke stood and sighed he walked over and folded his arms.

"You're really annoying you know?..." Sasuke insulted quietly, but there was no real energy behind it, "...and..." Sasuke started biting his lip, "...no, I'm not going to tell you what I wrote, but...I did give back the necklace" Sasuke said in a rush, Naruto sighed and shook his head.

"Yeah, I had a feeling that was what you left behind" Naruto replied in a somewhat disappointed manner, Sasuke would never admit it, but he felt like he had let Naruto down and almost in an instant felt the need to make it up to him.

Sasuke hated this side of himself. He kept it to himself, but when he let males (that were somewhat authoritative) down, Sasuke instantly felt the need to please the male, to 'redeem' himself in the male's eyes. It all started with Fugaku, who gave him no attention, and then Itachi who Sasuke looked up to. It transferred to the males that had taken care of him after the massacre, and after they stopped looking after the young Sasuke, Sasuke had turned his attention to his new sensei Kakashi and trained to impress and please him. It was a horrible complex that Sasuke possessed, he had tried to keep it down deep within him, but the incessant need to please these males made Sasuke sick. But like hell did he ever think Naruto was one of the males that Sasuke had the need to keep happy. Right now Naruto was expressing disappointment and all Sasuke could think about was either telling Naruto everything he wanted to hear, which was one way of pleasing Naruto or the other way...which consisted of Sasuke dropping to his knees and opening his mouth to let Naruto skull-fuck him into a oblivion. Sasuke shook his head, that was the last thing on his mind right now.

"I just didn't know how to tell him, a-and this seemed like the only way without missing the train, a-and I didn't know how he was going to react so I-"

"Whoa whoa! Calm down Sasuke, wow that was...out of character for you, usually you don't try and explain yourself to me" Naruto stated, slightly surprised at how desperate Sasuke had sounded. Sasuke turned his head to the side to hide his blush, Stupid need-to-please complex!...Sasuke thought angrily.

"Look I'd rather not talk about it and it's not like we have the time anyway, so come on dobe" Sasuke responded before turning around running, Naruto sighed before running after him and cursing under his breath about leaving it at that...and how Naruto had...thoughts...about Sasuke and how he reacted, it was...Naruto gulped, Arousing...Naruto thought and he shook his head and swore quietly.

"Damn it, I'm not meant to think of Sasuke like that..." Naruto mumbled under his breath. The boys managed to get back to the inn and pack all their stuff in time to get to the train station. Of course, Sakura had scolded them both for nearly missing the train and almost killed them until Naruto whispered to her that something 'family-related' happened with Sasuke and that's why they were late. Sakura instantly regretted telling off the boys and let it go, much to Sasuke surprise who didn't know about Naruto telling Sakura to lay off. The got on the train, and this time Kakashi managed to get the train tickets with them all sitting together.

Meanwhile, Shen walked into his dining room and saw a little note in the middle of his table. Raising an eyebrow, he walked over and picked up the little note that was hiding a necklace. Shen didn't pay attention to the necklace and instead read the note.

I'm sorry I never told you who I really was, I just was so scared... P.S, I think this belongs to you.

Shen was silent as he read the note and was to confused as to what this person was trying to tell him, Did Skip write this?...Shen thought puzzled, he knew Naruto wouldn't have wrote this and what does the note mean by something belonging to him?. Shen looked down at the table and gasped lightly when he saw the sharktooth necklace. He couldn't believe it. Was that?...It couldn't be, right?. Shen gulped as he shakily raised the necklace from the table and analysed it.

"How did...? When did...? Does he...?" Shen mumbled to himself, he noticed a little notch at the bottom of the sharktooth and gasped, that was the notch that he accidentally made when he dropped it!. He dropped it in excitement of seeing...

Sasuke's reaction...

Shen nearly fainted. He collapsed on the chair and took a long breath, he ran a hand through his hair and gulped.

"There's no way..." Shen whispered out, he shook his head and looked back at the necklace, "But Sasuke is..." Shen trailed off before his eyes slowly widened, "...and Skip is..." Shen stood up and paced around the room, "OK OK, calm down Shen there's no way that Sasuke is still alive and even if he was...there's no way Skip could be..." Shen gulped and looked back at the necklace in his hand before stuffing it in his pocket and grabbing the note. He ran out his house and decided there was someone he needed to see before he went to Konoha. The one person that Mikoto confided in the most, more than him or Kushina or anyone else that he knew. He needed to talk to Soma. 20 minutes later after zooming through the village of Gecia, Shen came bursting through Soma's door giving Soma the shock of her life.

"Oh good lord Shen! Ye almost give me a art attack!" Soma exclaimed surprised, Shen was panting and gained his breath before speaking.

"I-I'm sorry Soma, I really am, but I need you to tell me something!"

"What is so important that ye come in here like a rabid dog? Well come on! Spit it out!"

"Did Sasuke come to see you?!" Shen question, Soma gasped and remained silent. Shen looked desperately at her and slowly nodded his head, "So it was him..." Shen mumbled, Soma sighed and walked over to Shen and rubbed his back reassuringly.

"Oh love, ye know I would've told ye, but-"

"Then why didn't you?! Why didn't he? He knew who I was...and he didn't tell me..." Shen breathed out, he ran a hand through his hair and sighed, "Why didn't he tell me?" Shen asked to no one in particular, Soma gave him a sympathetic look before noticing the note in Shen's hand.

"Love, what's that?"

"Huh? Oh this is the note, um, Skip, I mean Sasuke, I mean Skip..." Shen sighed and just handed the note over, "I don't even know what to call him anymore" Shen stated dejectedly, Soma read the note and sighed.

"Love, it said right ere' why he didn't tell ye, the poor lamb was scared, he be only a child Shen, he must have been terrified"

"Of what!? I wasn't going to bite him! He should have just told me!"

"How would ye feel if ye found out that after living ye whole life with no one, suddenly all ye memories are thrown into chaos? That finding out ye father was-" Soma instantly shut her mouth when realising what she was about to say, Shen raised an eyebrow at her sudden halt.

"What? What about Sasuke's father? What does Fugaku have to do with this?" Shen asked, unaware of the fact that he was Sasuke's father. Soma remained silent and Shen just shrugged sighing, "Look, I have no idea what your talking about, but I just got to get to Konoha"

"What!? Shen ye can't just-"

"Make sure Sasha gets fed and watered okay? Thanks, I'm getting on the next train to Konoha" Shen said as he turned around and walked out, Soma called after him, but Shen just gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and a goodbye.

"Oh lord Shen! Ye just as bad as when ye were a teen!" Soma shouted as he ran down the street.

"Sorry Soma! I'll make it up to you!" Shen yelled over his shoulder as he ran down the street to catch the next train to Konoha. Shen was on his way...

In the meantime, Team 7 arrived in Konoha and were currently walking towards the Hokage's mansion to give their report since Tsunade wanted a personal report. Halfway over there, Kakashi saw all his team looked tired and irritated so offered to take the report to Tsunade herself. They were thankful as he went off to to give her the report. They were going to go their separate ways when suddenly Hinata came around the corner and timidly approached them, making Sakura tense.

"H-H-Hello N-Naruto-kun, h-hello Sasuke-kun, h-hello Sakura-chan" Hinata greeted the best she could, Naruto nudged Sakura who blushed, Naruto smirked and turned to Sasuke.

"Ah! You know what Sasuke? We forgot to hand in the report to Baa-chan!" Naruto stated loudly, Sakura blushed when he said that because she knew what he was doing. However, Sasuke did not and just looked at Naruto strangely.

"Dobe, what are you talking about?" Sasuke question, Naruto realised that Sasuke wasn't going to play along so suddenly hit the back of Sasuke head harshly and ran.

"Um, ha ha teme! You can't catch me!" Naruto teased, Sasuke growled and went after him just after the corner only to be pulled by Naruto. Sasuke looked bewildered at Naruto before Naruto hushed him, "Shush! I took us away from them for a reason! Now just watch!" Naruto whispered out as they hid around a corner, Sasuke gave him a confused expression before Naruto motioned for him to watch Sakura and Hinata.

"U-Um hi Hinata..." Sakura mumbled out, slightly angry at Naruto for what he did, I'm going to kill Naruto...Sakura thought evilly, that was until Hinata gave the cutest sneeze ever in history, I'm going to kiss Naruto...Sakura thought as she watched Hinata smile towards her.

"Hello Sakura-chan, how are you?" Hinata asked in her lovely tone of voice, Sakura melted and felt so happy to know she was the only one that Hinata could talk to without stuttering, it made her feel...special.

"I'm good Hinata, how are you?" Sakura replied, Hinata smiled and slipped some hair behind her ear.

"I'm good, I've just been meditating"

"Cool!...Um...Hinata I need to talk to you about something" Sakura gulped, Hinata tilted her head in a confused manner making Sakura blush immensely, D-Damn it! She's just too cute!...Sakura tried to control herself as she looked side to side and decided that there was too many people to confess her feelings. She took Hinata's hand and guided her over into a nearby empty ally, Naruto and Sasuke walked over and hid around the corner of the ally, so they could still see what was going on. Sakura gulped as Hinata leaned on the wall in front of her, OK, It's now or never...Sakura thought as she took another breath.

"C'mon Sakura...I know you can do it" Naruto mumbled quietly, Sasuke was still confused but carried on watching because he was just as nosey, regardless if he thought he was or not.

"Hinata...I..." Sakura looked straight into her eyes and took a deep breath, "Koishiteru...(A/N It's a way of saying I love you) I love you, Hinata" Sakura confessed, Sasuke gasped quietly and looked up at Naruto who smirked at him and gave a nod, Sasuke looked back towards Hinata and Sakura. Hinata just blinked before smiling.

"I love you too Sakura-chan"

"W-What?!"

"I love all my friends Sakura-chan" Hinata explained happily, unaware of how Sakura had meant it. Sakura instantly slammed both her hands against the wall Hinata was leaning on, trapping Hinata in between her arms. Hinata gasped and looked at Sakura surprised who had her head facing down, she was shaking slightly from trying to keep control.

"N-No Hinata, I don't meant that kind of love..." Sakura grinded out, Hinata stood completely shocked until Sakura shot her head up and with a determined face spoke, "I'm in love with you!" Sakura yelled in a fit of passion as she smashed her lips against Hinata's. At this time both boys gasped and stood silently, trying to see what was going to happen, Sakura pulled back as both girls panted slightly for air.

"S-Sakura-chan! I-I-I! Y-Y-You just-and I-I-I! I c-c-can't-" Hinata's face flushed completely red as she shook her head, Sakura's eyes widened as she recognised the look on Hinata's face.

"Hey hey hey! Don't you go fainting on me Hinata!" Sakura ordered as Hinata began to look woozy, "Oi! You still need to reject me, you know!" Sakura stated, Hinata looked at Sakura slightly surprised.

"I-I know I am! B-But I-I..." Hinata trailed off as she raised her hands to her chest and put them over her heart, "F-For some r-reason I..." Hinata closed her eyes as her blush now invaded her neck and ears, "M-My heartbeat...when you said a-all those t-things, it..." Hinata trembled slightly as Sakura's eyes widened, Hinata opened her eyes and suddenly held the sides of Sakura's face and kissed her, Sakura froze as Hinata shyly kissed her. Hinata pulled back and looked shamefully at Sakura who looked shocked at Hinata kissing her, so much she thought that she might faint herself!.

"Hinata...you..."

"I-I don't know why! But my heart beat so much!" Hinata defended before looking down embarrassed, "I thought I loved Naruto-kun, but..." Hinata mumbled under her breath before a tear ran down her face, she pushed Sakura away and ran down the ally, Sakura was silent and sighed. Sakura walked the other way down the ally...towards the eavesdropping boys. They freaked and jogged the the side of the street and saw Sakura put her hands in her pockets as she walked solemnly down the street. Both boys watched sadly as Sakura trudged on through the village until they couldn't see her.

"Poor Sakura..." Naruto said sympathetically, Sasuke felt sorry for his comrade and nodded his head.

"I had no idea..." Sasuke mumbled, Naruto sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"Damn it...this is all my fault, I convinced Sakura to confess...and if it weren't for me then Hinata would be all over Sakura" Naruto stated guiltily, Sasuke turned to look at Naruto and shook his head.

"You can't possibly blame yourself for what happened" Sasuke responded, Naruto nodded his head and pouted.

"Of course it's my fault! Wait...maybe if I go talk to Hinata she'll give Sakura a chance!"

"I don't think that's a good idea, Naruto"

"But I have to do something! I-" Sasuke silenced him with a look saying 'There's nothing you can do', Naruto sighed and looked down at the ground, "I really wish I could do something..." Naruto mumbled sadly, Sasuke sighed and walked pass Naruto.

"Sometimes there's nothing you can do but hope for the best, even if you know that the best is a pipe dream" Sasuke replied in a deadpan voice leaving Naruto to contemplate what he said.

In another part of the village was Kakashi casually walking across the grassy training grounds, reminiscing about the past with his team and Shen. He thought he had lost his mind when he heard Shen's voice call him, but his sanity was confirmed to be fine as he saw Shen approach him.

"Now there's a sight I never thought see again" Kakashi stated as Shen walked over to him, something was different though Kakashi noticed, instead of Shen's happy-go-lucky demeanour, it was stressed and antsy. Shen stood in front of Kakashi with a serious face.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Shen questioned in a grave tone, Kakashi was silent due to not understanding what he meant, "Why didn't you tell me?" Shen grinded out with repressed anger.

"You'll have to be more clearer on what-"

"Why didn't you tell me who he was?" Shen interrupted, Kakashi fell silent once again and finally understood what Shen was asking.

"It wasn't my place to tell you"

"That Sasuke was alive!?"

"It wasn't my decision whether or not to tell you, it was up to Sasuke" Kakashi replied, Shen sighed and folded his arms.

"What has he had to go through?"

"Shen, I don't think that's a good-"

"I want to know, I want to know what I have put him through all these years" Shen stated toughly, Kakashi sighed and rubbed the back of his head, "and don't sugar-coat it..." Shen ordered.

"Ever since the massacre, which he had witnessed at the age of 6, he had been burdened with the expectation to carry on the Uchiha name and revive the clan on his own, he also grew up for the next 8 or so years obsessed with revenge, and with the idea stuck in his head that he needed to hunt down his own brother and kill him, he was even ready to betray the village and become rogue if it wasn't for a friend, slowly over the years Sasuke had been mentally abused to the point were he has multiple complexes that has lead to his pride, his depression, his anger and not to mention his neurotic nature that stops himself from achieving happiness, and with no one to protect him, people have tried to take advantage of him and if it wasn't from his ninja abilities then god knows what would have happened to him, his pride stops him from accepting help, but has a authoritative complex so that anyone who dominates him will instantly become in control of Sasuke mentally, therefore making Sasuke prone to becoming some sort of slave, not in the literal sense, but enough for the authoritative person to take control over Sasuke, which stops Sasuke from developing on his own, and until Sasuke can come to terms with his own emotions and state of mind and trust people that want to help, he's going to be stuck in this loop of confusion, so it's not too late for him, but until he does that he will continue to be like this." Kakashi explained leaving Shen shocked and heartbroken at what he had heard.

His precious Sasuke that had been the light of his life, has been dragged through the mud and now left broken like this. Shen always wanted the best for Sasuke and now he had gone through hell and was doing it alone, Shen gulped and gave a nod to Kakashi.

"Just...do what you can to make him whole again, okay?" Shen mumbled emotionlessly, Kakashi nodded and was going to say something comforting but Shen turned around and walked off before he could say anything. Kakashi sighed as Shen left his sight, Kakashi felt another presence approach him as he turned around and saw Sasuke running over to him.

"Kakashi, what was Shen doing here? What did you tell him?" Sasuke questioned as Kakashi blinked before speaking.

"He knows" Kakashi replied plainly making Sasuke tense up.

"H-How much?"

"He knows who you are, but I don't think he knows of your...relation" Kakashi answered, Sasuke gave a sigh of relief before looking at Kakashi slightly worried.

"What else did he say?" Sasuke asked nervously, Kakashi considered telling him a lie but knew that would do no good for anyone.

"He asked what you had been through in detail, and for me not to hide any of the...depressing facts" Kakashi replied making Sasuke gulp slightly, "I don't know of his current plans, but it seems like he's going back to Gecia because of the favour he asked me"

"What favour?" Sasuke inquired curiously, but Kakashi remained silent without any motivation to tell Sasuke that Shen had asked him to stabilised Sasuke's state of mind. Sasuke sighed and realised that Kakashi wasn't going to tell him, "Fine, be that way, it's not like I need to know because you two seem so lovely and close!" Sasuke spat out harshly, before turning around and storming off, Kakashi stood there silently and sighed, Damn it Sasuke, can't you see how much he cares?...Kakashi sighed again and began to walk around again, this time thinking of a plan.

Hours later, and it had become night where strange men and women loitered around the streets of Konoha. Sin and lust tainted the air, as the pollution of smoke and alcohol intertwined with the pain and pleasure of the sleazy characters that lay waste to the streets of Konoha, they disappear in the burn of daylight.

Amongst this, was an innocent blonde who was pushing past the corrupt crowd into a bar to look for his friend who had gone missing that day. Naruto had been looking for Sasuke ever since he walked off, and now Naruto had tracked him down to a unpleasant and run down bar filled with masses of criminals and low-lives. Naruto couldn't believe he was here, but this is where his chakra was. Naruto looked side to side and saw Sasuke on a bar stool on the very edge of where the bartender handed out drinks, Sasuke was separated from the rest the people and had his bangs in front of his face, hiding his entire expression. Naruto walked over and sighed when he saw Sasuke who didn't acknowledge him, the bartender gave Naruto a suspicious look. Surprised by the look the bartender gave him, he approached Sasuke and this time the bartender took action.

"Oi, back off, he just a kid ya know" The bartender growled towards Naruto, Sasuke lifted his head and looked dazed towards Naruto and tilted his head.

"Naruto?" Sasuke mumbled out confused, the bartender looked at Naruto giving him a closer look before turning his head back to Sasuke.

"You know who he is, kid?" The bartender asked Sasuke who nodded, the bartender began cleaning a glass but still eyed Naruto, "You gonna take care of your friend?" The bartender asked Naruto.

"Um, yeah, but why is Sasuke surrounded by a bunch of empty glasses?"

"Let's just say they weren't empty when I gave them to him"

"Sasuke doesn't drink"

"So, he didn't come in here hand me money and tell me he doesn't care what I gave him as long as it got him drunk?" The bartender replied sarcastically, making Naruto rather angry.

"And you just did what he said? Didn't you care about the consequences?"

"Listen shithead, don't accuse me of not caring, I've been making sure the poor kid hadn't been raped by the bunch of horny men that hang around in here, so instead of giving me attitude I suggest you take your friend and make sure he gets home alright, because I do have morals and unless you want to test them, I think you be best just getting your friend home" The bartender defended making Naruto slightly guilty since the man had protected Sasuke from the brutish men, Naruto nodded and shook Sasuke's shoulder lightly.

"Come on teme, you need to get to bed" Naruto told Sasuke who began to giggle and look and Naruto funnily.

"Only if you come..."

"Stop messing around Sasuke, you're drunk"

"I'm not *hiccup* drunk" Sasuke argued, Naruto sighed and saw how Sasuke was wobbling on his seat, Naruto wrapped an arm around Sasuke's waist and hoisted him up making Sasuke giggle and lean against Naruto, Sasuke stood on his tip toes to get close to Naruto's ear, "Mmm, Naruto you're so strong" Sasuke whispered seductively making Naruto freeze, Naruto turned his head to look at Sasuke with no expression, Surely, Sasuke isn't that type drunk...Naruto thought, but was dragged out of his thoughts when Sasuke began to leave small kisses along Naruto's neck, shocking Naruto.

"O-Oi Sasuke!" Naruto called out, Naruto looked desperately at the bartender who shook his head.

"No way mate, he's your problem now" The bartender said and turned around to deal with customers, Naruto sighed and noticed how every person on the bar was glaring at Naruto jealously at how the raven-haired beauty was grabbing onto him. Naruto realised that they would have to get out of there and knew that Sasuke was going to be difficult.

"Come on Sasuke, we need to get you home"

"What are you going to do to me there?" Sasuke panted in Naruto's ear.

"Nothing, I'm just taking you to bed"

"Oooh your taking me to bed?"

"Not like that!" Naruto exclaimed and sighed, "Fuck...this is going to be a long night" Naruto mumbled to himself. Sasuke, still close to Naruto's ear, spoke.

"It better be..." Sasuke mumbled against Naruto who just sighed again, he took Sasuke out the bar, and much to Naruto's dismay, Sasuke had become stable enough to walk on his own and kept on pulling on Naruto's arm to go places, "Aww come oooon Naruto! Let's go to a club!"

"No Sasuke we're getting you home"

"But I wanna have fuuuun!" Sasuke whined making Naruto roll his eyes, Is this what Sasuke feels like when dealing with me?...Naruto thought annoyed by Sasuke's behaviour but he preferred Sasuke to be like this kind of fun-loving drunk instead of being a flirty drunk. Sasuke walked over to Naruto and wrapped his arms around his neck and smirked as he looked at Naruto's face, "Naruto..."

"Sasuke, I swear to god if you say another dirty thing-"

"It's not my fault I'm dirty..." Sasuke teased before bringing his mouth close to Naruto's ear again, "Maybe you need to clean me...allll over with your tongue" Sasuke breathed out, Naruto gulped and pulled back slightly.

"Sasuke, don't say stuff like that..."

"Aww why?"

"B-Because it's not like you! And besides, you saying stuff like that makes me uncomfortable" Naruto explained, Sasuke just pouted and tugged at the hem of Naruto's shirt.

"Your clothes are making me uncomfortable, you need to take them off" Sasuke replied, but what worried Naruto the most was how serious he sounded. Naruto sighed and broke free of Sasuke grip and pulled him by the wrist, I just have to get him home and my job is done...Naruto thought, but unfortunately it wasn't as simple as that...especially when Sasuke came to a halt behind Naruto, effectively stopping Naruto in his tracks. Sasuke leaned against Naruto's back and began to kiss the back of his neck, Naruto tensed before swishing around to face Sasuke who looked lustfully at Naruto. Naruto narrowed his eyes, but Sasuke just ran his hands through Naruto's hair and smirked, "You know...I have a thing for blondes" Sasuke said casually and he combed Naruto's hair, Naruto's eyes widened, Well, didn't expect that...but I am curious if he's telling the truth...Naruto thought.

"Really now?"

"Uh-huh...I dunno why, I just love the idea of a blonde, they're soooo sexy!" Sasuke giggled, Naruto could help but laugh at bit making Sasuke tilt his head, "What? What sooo funny?"

"Sorry, it's just you saying 'sexy' is funny" Naruto stated, Sasuke giggled and smiled drunkenly.

"Sexy! Sexy! Sexy!" Sasuke sang out making Naruto laugh even louder, until Sasuke smirked and went close to Naruto's face, "You know, you're really sexy..." Sasuke flirted quietly, Naruto went silent and looked Sasuke deep in the eye before turning his head to the side.

"L-Let's just get you to bed" Naruto mumbled, taking a few steps from Sasuke and walking in front of him, this time not holding Sasuke, he had gotten too close in Naruto's opinion. Sasuke happily hopped after Naruto and hummed as he did. Sasuke suddenly gasped happily and jumped on Naruto's back, Naruto's stumbled and turned his head to see Sasuke who was grinning at him. Naruto sighed and frowned, "What are you doing Sasuke?" Naruto asked as Sasuke continued to smile at Naruto, Can't believe I'm giving a piggyback ride to Sasuke...Naruto thought.

"Hey hey hey! Let's do a prank!" Sasuke encouraged excitedly, Naruto groaned and let his head fall.

"NO Sasuke, we're not doing a prank"

"Why not?!" Sasuke pouted, "You always do one with Sakura! What? Do you still love her or something?" Sasuke interrogated, Naruto came to a halt and looked up at Sasuke who was still looking dazed, Naruto just shook his head and carried on walking with Sasuke still on his back.

"No, I don't, so stop saying things like that" Naruto stated irritated to be faced with a question like that, Sasuke tugged at Naruto's shirt.

"So you don't love her like that anymore?"

"No"

"Do you love me?"

"..."

"If you had to choose between me and Sakura, who would you choose?"

"What the hell kind of question is that?" Naruto snapped, Sasuke shrugged and Naruto just sighed, "I wouldn't choose, how could I? You're both very important to me, even when one of you is a horny drunk" Naruto said making Sasuke chuckle, Naruto felt a guilty pleasure in making Sasuke laugh, "Speaking of which, why were you drinking in the first place? That's not like you at all" Naruto questioned, Sasuke for once fell silent and instead just nuzzled into Naruto's neck, Naruto and decided that Sasuke wasn't going to tell him anything at the moment so he would have to ask tomorrow, but for now Naruto just concentrated on getting Sasuke home. Said Uchiha's hands began to wonder, and stretched over Naruto's chest. Naruto sighed and just ignored it until Sasuke started to kiss at Naruto's neck again, "Sasuke, quit it"

"Uh-uh" Sasuke refused, and continued to kiss Naruto's neck, occasionally giving a small lick.

"Ngh! S-Sasuke don't do that"

"Why? Is it turning you on?" Sasuke replied sexily, Naruto gulped and closed his eyes, Damn it Sasuke! What are you doing to me?!...Naruto thought...before walking head first into a post because he had his eyes close, effectively dropping Sasuke, and falling himself, onto the floor. Both boys groaned as they laid sprawled on the floor in pain, "Oww, baka Naruto, that hurt!" Sasuke whined, Naruto sighed and sat up running a hand through his hair, Sasuke sat up next to him. They looked at each other before bursting into laughter, they both laughed as the hilarity of the situation humoured them. They calmed down and just sat there in silence, until Sasuke let his head rest on Naruto's shoulder. Naruto looked down and saw Sasuke leaning comfortingly on him, Naruto continued to look at Sasuke and even slipped a bang of Sasuke's hair back, "I thought I would feel better" Sasuke randomly said, Naruto gave him a strange look, "You asked why I was drinking, it's because I would feel better"

"Why would you think that getting drunk would make you feel better?" Naruto questioned, Sasuke just shrugged.

"Dunno...people must get drunk to avoid their problems for a reason..."

"Sasuke..." Naruto responded sympathetically, wrapping a consoling arm around Sasuke and brought him closer, Naruto rested his head on top of Sasuke's and breathed in Sasuke's scent with the smell of alcohol, Sasuke nuzzled into Naruto's chest and gave a small sigh.

"I just...thought that I could forget everything, just for one night"

"That doesn't solve anything"

"I know" Sasuke replied, he looked up at Naruto for a moment, "Naruto..." Sasuke whispered out, Naruto looked down at Sasuke and stroked another part of Sasuke's hair back, "Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah..." Naruto answered, Sasuke moved so he was now on his knees, he placed both his hands at the side of Naruto's neck so that Sasuke now towered over Naruto. Sasuke and Naruto were locked staring into each other's eyes, Sasuke leaned closer so that they were merely inches apart.

"Naruto...?" Sasuke started, tilting his head slightly, Naruto gulped and let out a small pant, "...what am I to you?" Sasuke finished, it was silent for a moment with just them both just still gazing at each other, the question didn't seem to really matter at that moment, when Sasuke slowly came closer and Naruto lifted slightly the gap between them almost closed. Almost. Naruto suddenly pulled back. Sasuke blinked and looked confused at him, "Naruto?"

"Um, we should really get going" Naruto stated, getting up from the floor and rubbing the back of his head while he avoided looking at Sasuke, Sasuke was still on his knees and was looking up dazed, Naruto gulped at the image before him since Sasuke's face was rather close to his-, NO! Stop thinking like that!...Naruto scolded himself, he took a deep breath and held out a hand to Sasuke who took the hand and wobbled against Naruto.

"Oiiii you...you didn't answer my question" Sasuke slurred poking Naruto's chest, Naruto sighed, "Liiiisten you bastard, you tell me right now what I am to you"

"You're my drunk friend right now"

"No! What am I to you" Sasuke repeated, this time silencing Naruto as Naruto turned away and began walking, Sasuke growled and chased after him, "Hey, you didn't answer my question!"

"Ask me when you're sober"

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?!" Sasuke exclaimed as he pounded his fist on Naruto's chest, making Naruto's temper rise.

"It means that your going to either forget this night completely and the answer won't matter in the morning, or you remember and kill me for answering that question in the first place, however you want to see it? I'm not answering that question" Naruto explained, Sasuke just pouted and pressed himself against Naruto.

"You're lying! You can't answer the question either!" Sasuke accused triumphantly smirking, making Naruto blush from embarrassment and just looked to the side.

"Whatever, you said either, so you can't answer as well" Naruto replied, Sasuke fell silent and huffed.

"Naaah, I know what you are to me"

"And that would be?" Naruto questioned, Sasuke bit his lip and tried to think of something, Sasuke blushed before going on his tip toes again and went really close to Naruto's face again.

"You are the person who has something that I want"

"...?"

"You have a big, thick, juicy-"

"Sasuke!" Naruto exclaimed his face slightly red, Sasuke just giggled and wrapped his arms around Naruto's neck. Okay, now Naruto was starting to get angry, that was a serious question! And Sasuke just saw it as a opening to flirt! Naruto was taking control right now, because he'll be damned if he was going to be made a fool because Sasuke couldn't hold his drink!. Naruto harshly grabbed Sasuke's wrists and yanked them off, he gave Sasuke a glare before speaking, "Listen here, I've had enough, now your going to stop flirting and grabbing on to me because it's annoying and if I have to tell you one more time, I swear to god I'm just going to leave you here for the men of this village to ravage, are we clear?!" Naruto ordered dominantly, leaving Sasuke silent for a moment before suddenly looking saddened and his bottom lip began to tremble and his expression said 'I'm about to cry'. Naruto's eyes widened and instantly felt a massive load of guilt hit him.

"Uwa Naruto is mean!" Sasuke cried out, Naruto blinked at how vulnerable Sasuke was at that moment and sighed. Naruto stared at Sasuke who was still trembling and whimpering, Naruto softly held Sasuke who flinched at the touch.

"Look...I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean to upset you..." Naruto said reassuringly, Sasuke sniffled a little before looking up at Naruto.

"Naruto was mean"

"Yes, Naruto was mean"

"Naruto was stupid" Sasuke stated, Naruto sighed before sucking it up and nodding his head.

"Yes, Naruto was...stupid" Naruto replied begrudgingly, but it was worth it to see Sasuke smile and giggle a bit, Naruto smiled back and motioned for them to carry on walking, Sasuke agreed and took a step forward before crying out in pain, Naruto instantly worried went to his side, "Sasuke, are you OK?" Naruto asked, Sasuke just let out a small whimper and nodded his head.

"Y-Yeah, I just hurt my ankle when we fell" Sasuke explained, Naruto looked around before standing in front of Sasuke.

"Don't make a big deal of what I'm about to do" Naruto stated, Sasuke tilted his head confused before Naruto gently lifted Sasuke bridal style, Sasuke blushed and looked up at Naruto.

"N-Naruto" Sasuke stuttered, looking dreamily at Naruto who avoided his gaze.

"J-Just don't make a big deal of this" Naruto responded, Sasuke was silent the rest of the way to the house as he slowly fell asleep against Naruto. Naruto looked down as Sasuke nodded off, Naruto chuckled and admired the scene that was the cute little raven-haired beauty sleeping. "You know, if you weren't such a pain..." Naruto said to no one in particular, Sasuke shifted in his sleep and nuzzled into Naruto, "...we could have been..." Naruto trailed off and shook his head, I don't know what I was planning on saying but what ever it was, IT AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN...Naruto thought as he scowled to himself.

Naruto carried Sasuke until he saw the Uchiha district and walked through the empty street until he came across Sasuke's house, he walked up the porch and managed to open the door without waking Sasuke. He moved quietly through the house and walked up to Sasuke's room, he had only been in here once and that was last year when they both were 15. Sasuke was ill. Sasuke hadn't turned up to training and no one knew why, so Kakashi had sent Naruto to find out why. Naruto went and found out that Sasuke was ill...with no one to take care of him.

FLASHBACK

Naruto trudged through the village in a grumpy manner with his hands stuck in his pockets. Grumbling as he approached the Uchiha district, Naruto looked up and felt slightly intimidated at the empty loom of the houses. Naruto began walking through again and looked for Sasuke's house, Naruto didn't really come here often so forgot about the eerie sense of loneliness that surrounded this place. Naruto came to a halt when the house marked as Sasuke's came into view. Naruto blinked before walking up to the porch of the house and faced the door, Naruto knocked on the door before waiting for Sasuke to answer.

No answer.

Naruto knocked louder this time, with no answer. Naruto knocked on the door once more as loud as he could before getting annoyed and just pounded on the door until it just opened, Doesn't the teme know to lock his door?...I guess no one would be around here to open it though...Naruto thought sadly before closing the door and looking around to see the fairly dark and empty house, Naruto was silent and before deciding to try and actually find Sasuke, you know, what he was meant to be doing.

"Oi! Teme!" Naruto called out, there was no response, Naruto let out a growl/sigh and walked towards another room and found the stairs. Naruto slowly ascended up the stairs, with his hands on the slightly dusty banister, Naruto noticed that the place wasn't messy but still not perfect, but since it was a large house and Sasuke was still merely a child who was busy with missions and training, it was a depressing situation. Naruto found the room that he decided to be Sasuke's, since he could sense Sasuke's chakra, but something was different about it...like it was weaker or in some kind of discomfort. Naruto politely knocked on the door, before hearing some shifting inside but still no response, "Sasuke?" Naruto called out, Naruto heard some more shifting.

"...what?..." A weak voice croaked out, Naruto looked the surprised the door and blinked completely stunned at the weak response from the usually proud boy.

"Um, Kakashi sensei sent me, you didn't turn up for training, he let you off, but he still wanted me to check on you"

"...I-I'm fine..." Sasuke stuttered quietly, Naruto put his hand up to the door knob, and as if Sasuke knew what Naruto was about to do spoke up, "O-Oi dobe, you stay out" Sasuke warned, Naruto scowled and grabbed the door knob hard before shoving it open.

"Who the hell do you think you are?! Who are you to tell me-" Naruto shut his mouth in surprise and blushed slightly at the sight before him. Sasuke was on his bed in a large and loose black tee and small black boxers, small enough to be panties. Sasuke had a flushed face and was slightly sweaty, Sasuke glared towards Naruto and gave a annoyed huff, Sasuke was originally leaning on his side, but got up and leant on his hand.

"What did I tell you dobe?"

"I-I, u-um, I didn't m-mean to-"

"Baka, you didn't have to come over here you know, I would've explained to Kakashi where I was" Sasuke said, Naruto gulped as his eyes began to glance over Sasuke's half naked body and turned his head to the side to avoid the erotic (and confusing) sight, Sasuke raised an eyebrow at the strange behaviour, "What's wrong with you?" Sasuke asked as Naruto still avoided looking at Sasuke.

"I-It's not my fault"

"Idiot, I have no idea what your talking about" Sasuke replied, Naruto looked back at Sasuke and just shook his head.

"It's nothing, just forget about it..." Naruto replied, "So why weren't you at training today?"

"I hardly think that's any of your business"

"I'm just asking!" Naruto exclaimed hotly, Sasuke opened his mouth to retort but just gave a cute sneeze, completely destroying his tough image and instead made him look like a little kitten. It was silent for a moment before Naruto burst out laughing making Sasuke blush even more.

"Don't you laugh at me!" Sasuke yelled, Naruto just shook his head and continued to laugh.

"Ha ha aha ha aha! I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's just that it was so unlike you! You sneeze like a freaking girl!" Naruto guffawed, Sasuke gave a 'hmpf' and turned his head to the side.

"W-Whatever!" Sasuke defended embarrassed by his small slip-up, Naruto calmed himself down and walked over towards Sasuke.

"But seriously teme, how come you didn't come to training?" Naruto asked again, Sasuke looked shamefully at the ground catching Naruto's attention, "Sasuke?" Naruto voiced, Sasuke kept silent and staring at the ground, How am I meant to tell him that I'm so weak that I got a cold?...Sasuke thought, but all stable thinking was removed from Sasuke when Naruto pushed back Sasuke's bangs and leant down, Sasuke's eyes widened as Naruto pressed his lips and chin against his forehead. Naruto stayed there for a moment before pulling away and giving a 'hn', "So you're ill, huh?" Naruto stated, Sasuke blinked and blushed.

"N-Not really!"

"So you just have all the symptoms of being ill, but not actually being ill?" Naruto humoured, Sasuke just scowled and turned away since he wasn't able to come up with a comeback at that moment, Naruto rolled his eyes and just walked over to a nearby chair and took off his jacket, Sasuke's eyes widened and blushed crazily.

"W-W-What are you doing?!" Sasuke spluttered as Naruto put his orange jacket on the chair and turned around to face Sasuke with a smile.

"Someone has to look after you" Naruto replied casually, Sasuke fell silent and Naruto just shrugged nonchalantly and walked over, giving a small stretch showing off his handsomely-developing body in the tight white t-shirt, Sasuke sighed and fell back on the bed and didn't argue, he knew that Naruto had the energy for a fight and he did not, so protesting was pointless. Naruto was content with the lack of a fight and clapped his hands together, "Alright then! So is there anything I can get you teme?" Naruto questioned enthusiastically, Sasuke looked at Naruto with a expressionless face that Naruto could read clearly, it said 'Are you serious?', Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and chuckled, "Right, sorry, I'll just do the basics so you can still kept your precious pride" Naruto teased as he went off to find something that could help.

Naruto had started his method of taking care of Sasuke through how Iruka had treated him when he was ill and some personal experiences. Naruto first started making some simple soup with a secret ingredient that had been passed down to him by Tsunade, the secret ingredient was a special mushroom powder that had incredible healing powers. Naruto just happened to collect some that morning, so he had a pouch of it in his pocket. As the soup was cooking, he looked around for some medicine and found some tablets for coughs, and small flannel for Sasuke's fever. Naruto wet the flannel and went up to Sasuke with a cool glass of water. Sasuke took the tablets with the water and laid down where Naruto placed the flannel on Sasuke's forehead and Sasuke released a grateful sigh.

"I'm not going to say thank you for anything, just so you know" Sasuke stated plainly, Naruto just shrugged.

"I know, I guess you don't have to since you didn't technically ask" Naruto responded, Sasuke blushed and turned his head to the side, D-Damn it, stop being mature Naruto, it makes me feel weird...Sasuke thought, Naruto tilted his head as he looked down at Sasuke, "You're ill, how come your lying on top of your bed instead of being in it?" Naruto questioned, Sasuke gave a 'hmpf' before turning to his side.

"Hot"

"But your shivering"

"Your not ill very often, are you?"

"Kyuubi, remember?" Naruto replied, Sasuke gave a small nod in rememberence and closed his eyes to drift off to sleep, but he heard Naruto speak which confused him, "Really?...Oh...okay, I'll tell him...are you sure?...fine" Naruto voiced to himself, Sasuke opened his eyes and stared at Naruto like he was crazy, Naruto seemed to sense Sasuke's confusion and gave a sheepish smile, "Talking to Kyuubi, he piped up about a quick way to heal you within minutes" Naruto explained, Sasuke sat up and looked at Naruto bewildered.

"Why didn't he say before?" Sasuke complained, Naruto chuckled and rubbed the back of his head.

"He said he liked seeing a Uchiha suffer, but between me and you, I think he actually has a soft spot for you, since he thinks you're funny" Naruto said, it was silent for a moment before Naruto let out a laugh, "Kyuubi wants to kill me for telling you that" Naruto chuckled.

"What is it?"

"What?"

"The quick way to make me feel better"

"Ah, right..." Naruto started, he gulped before sitting down on the bed, "...your not going like it..." Naruto continued, Sasuke was silent before Naruto sighed and ran a hand through his hair, "It's like a reverse heal bite, but I need to inject the Kyuubi's healing power into you, so..." Naruto drawled out, he got the confidence to look Sasuke in the eye, who looked confused more than everything, "I'll need to bite you hard enough to draw blood, then I'll need to suck" Naruto finished and mentally prepared himself for Sasuke to scorn him, but nothing happened. Instead Sasuke looked completely unphased.

"Alright then, get on with it"

"Ehh?!, you're fine with it?!"

"I do not like being ill, so I suggest you get on with it" Sasuke stated plainly, Naruto looked disbelieving towards Sasuke and sighed.

"Geez Sasuke, I was shit scared you was gonna hit me"

"Why would I hit you? Your offering me a solution to stop me being ill, what's so bad about that?" Sasuke asked, Naruto blinked and realised at that moment how naïve Sasuke really was, it was a little weird to find out that Sasuke was fairly oblivious to such things. Naruto decided that since Sasuke didn't know, then Naruto wouldn't tell him. Sasuke can deal with being sexually retarded on his own...Naruto concluded.

"So...I can bite you?"

"Yes"

"Kyuubi just told me it has to be your neck"

"Fine with me" Sasuke answered.

Naruto nodded and began to crawl over to Sasuke till he was in between Sasuke's legs. Naruto angled his head to face Sasuke's neck, Naruto looked at Sasuke who rolled his eyes, "Come on Naruto, I'm not going to bite, that's your job" Sasuke stated sarcastically,Naruto nodded slightly before letting his fangs drawl out, Naruto rested them on Sasuke's neck and pushed down slowly, "Ngh!" Sasuke voiced, Naruto felt guilty, but pressed on the porcelain flesh until his fangs were fully inserted and blood ran down Sasuke's neck. Naruto, with his fangs still in place, gently pushed Sasuke down the bed and positioned himself to let Kyuubi's chakra flow. Sasuke gasped as he felt energy flow through his vein, courtesy of Naruto. "A-Ah!" Sasuke cried out when Naruto began to suck at his neck, I thought this was going to be painful...Sasuke thought, but his eyes slowly widened when he realised the kind of position they were in and what they were doing, he also understood why Naruto was scared of Sasuke's reaction. It was too late to refuse it though since Naruto was halfway there and would be pointless of Sasuke told him to stop, but that didn't stop the sensation of it feeling good, "Hah hah...s-slow down!" Sasuke panted, Naruto took his mouth off of Sasuke's neck and spoke.

"I'm almost done, I just have to seal it with my tongue" Naruto reassured, but Sasuke's eyes just nearly popped out of his head when Naruto started to lick his neck where the bite mark was. Sasuke hands gripped the back of Naruto's shirt and just panted.

"A-Ah...hah...hah..." Sasuke moaned embarrassingly, Sasuke screwed his eyes shut in shame from the sounds he was making, but Naruto didn't seem to really mind and continued to lap at Sasuke neck, Sasuke continued to emit pleasured sounds until to his horror he realised something. He was getting hard. Sasuke wanted to die of embarrassment, since no illness was worst than Naruto giving him a hard-on and Naruto feeling it, so Sasuke was about to push him off when Naruto detached from Sasuke's neck and smiled down at him.

"Alright done! See? That wasn't so bad now was it?" Naruto said, Sasuke blinked completely floored that Naruto didn't notice his 'ahem' problem. Naruto got off of Sasuke and walked towards the door, "Come on, I made food and you should be feeling better in a few minutes or so" Naruto said and walked out, Sasuke blushed from the little 'session' they just had and felt his illness slowly getting better and better. He went downstairs and ate with Naruto. The entire time blushing from embarrassment while Naruto just chatted on and on about random things, I can't believe something as simple as sucking, licking and biting could feel so good...Sasuke thought as Naruto talked, Naruto suddenly stopped talking and laughed, "Ha ha ha! Hey teme look! I gave you a hickey! Ha ha ha!" Naruto laughed as Sasuke slapped his hand against his neck blushing even more.

D-Damn you Naruto...

END OF FLASHBACK

Naruto chuckled at the memory and opened Sasuke's bedroom door, he walked over to Sasuke's bed and gently put Sasuke down. Sasuke stirred and made a uncomfortable face, Sasuke's eyes flutter open and focused on Naruto who looked slightly surprised at the awoken Uchiha. Sasuke sat up and tilted his head at Naruto before smirking.

"Mmm...did you just walk out of my dream?" Sasuke flirted, Naruto slapped a hand over his own mouth and tried to repress his laughter, "What's sooo funny?" Sasuke asked and Naruto just shook his head and calmed himself down.

"It's just that even though you've been acting like that all night, it's funny to see you using a pick-up line, more so using it on me" Naruto explained, while he spoke he didn't notice Sasuke get up and lean against Naruto, "Hey teme, just get to bed"

"Uh-uh" Sasuke refused before giving a mischievous smirk and slowly made his way down to his knees, Naruto's eyes widened and instantly grabbed Sasuke's shoulders and yanked him up.

"Don't even think about doing something like that" Naruto stated, Sasuke gave another smirk and raised his knee to nudge Naruto in between his legs, Naruto shut his eyes trying to ignore what Sasuke was doing.

"What's the matter? Feel good?" Sasuke chuckled and leaned close into Naruto's ear.

"D-Don't be ridiculous..."

"Then you won't mind if I feel good then?" Sasuke teased, before Naruto could respond he heard Sasuke chuckle and blow slightly on Naruto's ear. Naruto tensed before Sasuke smirked, "Ahhh~" Sasuke moaned seductively in Naruto's ear purposely to entice him. Naruto jumped at the erotic sound and ended up falling flat on his back with Sasuke looking down at him grinning evilly, Sasuke ascended down and straddled Naruto who gave Sasuke a annoyed look.

"Get. Off." Naruto grinded out, Sasuke just chuckled patronisingly, tilting his head at Naruto and began to fiddle with Naruto's necklace.

"Mmm, you know your meant to be on top, but I'd love to ride you..." Sasuke spoke, Naruto tried to get the image of Sasuke doing such a thing out of his head, but it was hard to do when said Uchiha was straddling him right now. Sasuke seemed to notice this and slowly leaned down so his mouth was next to Naruto's ear once again, "Do you want to hear a secret?..." Sasuke mumbled heatedly, Naruto gulped when he heard Sasuke give a low and quiet chuckle, "...I love to be dominated..." Sasuke whispered lustfully, Naruto felt his heart stop for a moment and just for a moment all thoughts from his head flow right out his ear.

"Don't say shit like that"

"It's true"

"Like I'd fucking believe that" Naruto cursed, Sasuke shrugged and sat up.

"Test it out when I'm sober then..." Sasuke proposed, Naruto fell silent in curiosity in what Sasuke was saying, "...I do like being dominated, so take control of me when I'm sober, act like your my master and I'm just your slave, you'll see how much I react and if you really don't believe me then you shouldn't be afraid to test it out" Sasuke finished seriously, Naruto gave Sasuke a considering look before speaking.

"Are you serious about this?"

"We all have our kinks..." Sasuke said casually before leaning closer to Naruto, "...and mine is being treated like a filthy cock-slut, since the idea of being degraded and humiliated like some dirty whore turns me on more than you can imagine, being screwed so much that it could put a harlot to shame..." Sasuke voiced lewdly, Naruto almost spluttered and choked on air as Sasuke spoke of these things. Naruto saw Sasuke about to continued and slapped a hand over his mouth, shocking the raven. Sasuke blinked before darting his tongue against Naruto's hand, Naruto retracted his hand with a grimace and sighed.

"And you say I'm the immature one" Naruto mumbled to himself, Sasuke huffed and sat up looking down at Naruto like he was trying to figure something out.

"Why aren't you taking advantage?"

"Excuse me?"

"I said why aren't you taking advantage? Anyone else would have, no matter how good they were, they would up just given up and fucked me, but your not doing that, why?" Sasuke questioned, Naruto was silent as the question seeped in and he attempted to actually come up with a answer, but struggled to come up with one other than 'Because it's wrong to take advantage' since he knew Sasuke wouldn't accept that answer.

"What do you think would happen next, huh? You think we'd just wake up and act as if nothing happened and carried on being like we were before?"

"I do" Sasuke replied plainly, Naruto looked disbelievingly at Sasuke before give scoff.

"You really think that we could do something like that and we'd just forget about it?"

"Why not? We do it anyway..." Sasuke mumbled the last bit but Naruto hear it perfectly clear and spluttered at what Sasuke said.

"Last time I remember we have never done anything like that!" Naruto exclaimed, Sasuke sighed and shook his head.

"That's not what I meant..." Sasuke said quietly, "...I mean we always forget anything that could possibly make our relationship mean more, accidental kisses, unplanned touches, not to mention how everything and everyone is pushing us in that direction since we were kids"

"Sasuke...have you been thinking about this?"

"Yeah..." Sasuke admitted, "...I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, about my life and my decisions..." Sasuke trailed off before looking Naruto deep in the eyes, "...about us..." Sasuke finished, Naruto was silent before speaking.

"What about us?"

"I don't know...just been confused about the whole thing really, I mean we have been together longer than I can remember and..." Sasuke stopped and just locked in a stare with Naruto, "...sometimes I think..." Naruto's mouth went dry from what Sasuke was going to say next, "...what if?" Sasuke whispered out. Sasuke didn't need to finish the sentence since he knew Naruto would understand completely.

"I can't lose you" Naruto spoke, "If it doesn't work out then how could I live on with you no longer by my side, if not as my partner, then my friend?" Naruto questioned, "I just can't take the risk of destroying our friendship for the sake of a small chance of..." Naruto trailed off trying to find the right words, "...what if..." Naruto breathed out finally, Sasuke stared down at Naruto as looked as if he understood something.

"Is that the reason that your not taking me tonight? Because your scared that you'll lose me if we both regret it? Or if it doesn't work out?" Sasuke asked, Naruto's answer was just silent, Sasuke gulped and let out a obviously nervous laugh, "When you put it like that, it really does sound scary..." Sasuke chuckled sadly, Sasuke looked down avoiding Naruto's gaze and spoke, "Because even though we would probably be better off without each other, I don't think I could stand to lose you either..." Sasuke mumbled, fiddling with Naruto's shirt. Naruto's eyes widened at the statement and was too shocked to really say anything, especially when Sasuke looked back at Naruto and put a hand on Naruto's cheek, "I know you think I hate you, but I don't...it's completely the opposite..." Sasuke stated as they both just stayed there lost in the moment until Sasuke removed his hand and looked towards his bed, "Naruto...can you stay the night?"

"Sasuke..."

"I won't try anything, I promise, the idea of losing you terrifies me way to much to even consider it and besides, I'm tired" Sasuke explained, yawning to illustrate his point. Naruto considered his next move before slowly nodding.

"OK..." Naruto responded softly, Sasuke got off of Naruto and went over to his bed, Naruto followed suit, and instead of getting in the sheets, both of them just laid on top of the bed. They were silent until Sasuke moved so his head was resting on Naruto's chest, Naruto merely looked down the raven-haired boy with hooded eyes and blinked, he wrapped his nearest arm around Sasuke's mid section and allowed Sasuke to doze off on him. Before Sasuke went off into dreamland he managed to say one last thing.

"Dobe..." Sasuke muttered before finally setting down and sleeping, Naruto continued to stare at the ceiling unmoving and knew that what Sasuke said was merely more than an insult, it was Sasuke's way of saying a thousand things that Naruto understood, like 'This means nothing', 'This means everything', 'Let's forget', 'Let's talk about this'. Naruto understood it all from that one word that meant so much more than a word.

It was Sasuke's way of calling Naruto his.

Just like how Naruto called Sasuke teme, it meant so much more than a stupid insult. It was said in times of good and bad, passion and sombreness. Naruto was the demonic knight and Sasuke was his dysfunctional damsel. It was their way. They liked it like that. It was only when they held themselves back did the tension for a fight occur, getting along didn't just require understanding each other. They understood each other perfectly, it was understanding themselves that was the issue. Until they can come to terms with their emotions is went Naruto and Sasuke can talk. Like tonight...Naruto thought, We spoke honestly for a small amount of time...Naruto sighed and looked down at Sasuke's sleeping form on his chest, Naruto pushed a wild bang out of his face and watched his peaceful slumber.

"My teme..."
