Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Simple as cake.


I can't wait for the fillers to end! :claps hands: I heard that after a 90 minute special, they're going to show episode 203 which is part of the Kakashi Gaiden episodes. Could someone confirm this with me? :Nervous laugh: Because I'm not so sure. I'd appreciate it! :grin: Danke!





"Oh, Sasuke-kun, you look so handsome today!" Sakura crooned from her seat two rows over from the raven. She hadn't been able to convince Kiba or Naruto to give up their seats, so she had to find the next best one.

Kiba and Ino were enjoying the show, the both of them snickering at the pink-haired girl when she was ignored.

"Hn," Sasuke snorted indifferently. He was pissed. It was his first day and already it was going downhill.

"Don't reply, Teme!" Naruto whispered, "that'll only add fuel to the fire!" And true enough, Sakura's smile widened and she began chattering away.

"Haruno-san, please keep quiet," Gai said from out in the hall. He was speaking with one of the neighboring teachers, "I know you want to express your youth, but wait until passing for that," he grinned and gave the annoying girl a thumbs up.

Naruto held back his laughter when he saw Sakura's brows twitch in anger. He turned back to Sasuke and grinned foxily, "Oi, Teme, let me see your schedule. Maybe we have some classes together."

Sasuke tossed his schedule to Naruto and smirked when it hit the blond in the face, "Dobe," he expected a reply of "teme", but didn't recieve one. Instead, the blue-eyed teen flashed him a sheepish smile.

You got to me first...

Sasuke held back a smile at the thought of him and Naruto becoming closer. It was exciting, yet slightly unnerving. No one had ever said they really liked him. Sakura only lusted after him, but Naruto..

"Hey, you're in three of my classes," Naruto grinned.

"Wonderful. Three classes stuck with a dobe like you."

"Teme, take that back!"

Itachi told me that I forced people to like me... but this time... I don't think I did. Someone came to me on their own...

Naruto blinked when he saw a smile slowly spread across his "friend's" face, "Sasuke?"

I think Jiraiya was right... maybe I am falling in love...

"Oi, Sasuke!"

The raven looked over to see the slightly worried face of Naruto, "Hm?"

"Something wrong?"

"No... not at all..."

"How was second block, Sasuke-kun?" Ino asked as she joined him and Naruto for lunch.

"It was alright," was the simple reply.

"You should've seen him, Ino!" Naruto suddenly piped up, "Asuma-sensei called him up to the board to answer a few problems, and he got every single one of them right!"

"That's because they were simple problems, Dobe," Sasuke smirked, stealing a fry from the blond's tray.

"Don't take my food, Teme! You have your own!"

Sasuke popped the fry into his mouth, leaning forward and smirking around it, "You want it? Then come and get it," he purred.

Naruto's face resembled a tomato in a matter of seconds, his words coming out in stutters, "P-pervert! Do-don't say crap like that here!"

Ino watched with a knowing smile while she opened her soda, How cute. It's about time Naruto found someone.

"Why not, Naruto?" Sasuke used his tongue to slowly pull the fry further into his mouth. Really, it was just too fun torturing the idiot.

Naruto pouted and threw a ketchup packet at the raven's head, laughing when it hit him between the eyes, "because I'll strike back, Sasuke," he used the same sultry tone as the Uchiha and blinked when Sasuke actually blushed, "d-did... did you just blush?"

"No," Sasuke growled. He honestly didn't expect Naruto to have such a sexy voice... it just... didn't fit the blond at all.

"Hey, what's going on?" Kiba questioned the two boys as he joined them, along with Shino.

"I'm not quite sure, but it's interesting," Ino commented, "Oh! And they're using bedroom voices," she giggled.

Kiba glared at Naruto, "You have a boyfriend?"

The blond blushed and flailed his arms around, "H-He's not my boyfriend, Kiba! He's a--"

"Friend with benefits," Sasuke finished while slowly swallowing the fry, smirking at the flustered Naruto.

"No! Not that either!" You know you want to go out with him, his inner self chided, he's smart, sexy... he's basically sex on legs! "when did I become such a fag?" he mumbled lowly to himself.

"Yo, Uzumaki," a girl with red hair walked up to their table and slammed a note down in front of Naruto with a scowl, "I have a note to give ya. It's from Orochimaru-sensei. Says he needs to see ya A.S.A.P."

Sasuke saw Naruto visibly stiffen and frowned, Is he in trouble?

"Right... Thanks, Tayuya," he watched the girl huff and stomp away. His cerulean eyes landed on the folded up note and he slowly reached out to grab it.

"Naruto, I think you should just throw it away," Ino hissed, "I'm sure it's not important anyway. You paid your rent, there's no reason for him to see you."

Sasuke had no clue what was going on, Who's this Orochimaru-sensei? And what about paying the rent?

"I think I'll go anyway," Naruto said in a small voice, standing up and pushing his tray over to Sasuke, "you can have it if you want," he smiled and stepped over his chair, heading to the front of the cafeteria.

"Damn snake," Ino growled while stabbing her food with a spork, "I wish he would leave Naruto alone."

"Ino..." Kiba whispered, pointing to Sasuke who had his brows furrowed.

"Oh... um, Sasuke-kun, how much do you know about Naruto?"

Sasuke thought about that for a few seconds. He really didn't know anything about the fox boy at all, "Not much..."

"Well... when Naruto was little, both of his parents died and he had to live in an orphanage... but when he turned thirteen, they kicked him out and he was stuck living on the streets for two years. That was when we met him, on our way to school. He was standing out by the gates looking in on the campus," Ino told the raven solemnly, "we spoke with him and immediately became his friends, but... just being his friends wouldn't get him a home, so we decided to look around a bit for a cheap place... and then we found an apartment.. in the Sannin complex down the street. It was owned by one of our teachers, Orochimaru-sensei..."

"We didn't know what we got him into," Kiba added, "drugs, alcohol, all that shit..."

Sasuke's eyes widened slightly, "He took drugs?"

Ino shook her head, "Thankfully, no... Naruto was too strong-minded to fall into that... but the other attendants, they were horrible people... horrible and nasty," her nose scrunched up at the memory, "we just had to get him out of there."

"But we couldn't," Kiba said with gritted teeth, "Naruto said he'd rather stay there than live on the streets."

"And after a few months, I guess he finally came to terms with how terrible the place was and asked Orochimaru-sensei if he could leave," her voice became a dry hiss, "then the bastard offered him another apartment. A better one."

Sasuke was surprised by what the two teens were telling him, Had Naruto really been through all of that? Then... he's just like me...

"Naruto took the offer and he moved into a different complex a few blocks away. He didn't even have to pay for it," Kiba exclaimed.

"But we all know that Orochimaru-sensei's up to something. Why would he give Naruto that apartment for free? It doesn't make sense," Ino sighed, "he still lives there... and it still doesn't make any sense."

"..." Sasuke stood up and stepped over his seat, his eyes narrowed, obsidian orbs boiling.

"Sasuke-kun?" Ino asked in confusion.

"I'll be right back," he headed in the same direction he saw Naruto go when he left, his hands clenched at his sides. They were right. It didn't make any sense, And I'm going to see what this Orochimaru is up to, Sasuke didn't want to admit it, but he was worried. So worried it made his stomach churn.

"You wanted to see me, Orochimaru-sensei?" Naruto stepped into the classroom, coughing slightly at the smell of antibiotics and cleaning fumes.

"I'm glad you could make it, Naruto-kun," Orochimaru said with a raspy voice. He slid out of his office, his white coat covered with various stains and what Naruto could only guess was animal blood, "did you get my little message?"

"Yeah... I read it on the way here..." the blond looked around nervously. He had never been alone with the snake-like teacher. There were always other people around when Orochimaru called for him. Their meetings were usually about Naruto helping him with paperwork as repayment for the apartment, but now... it seemed like his sensei wanted help with something more personal.

"Good..." the snake said while leaning against the lab table in front of Naruto, "Naruto-kun, I heard that your homeroom class recieved three new students this morning..."

"U-Um, yeah..."

"And there's a rumor going around about a raven-haired male name Uchiha Sasuke..."

"Rumor...?"

"Yes, about you and him. Students are saying that you two are lovers."

L-Lovers?.! The hell ?.! his thoughts were interrupted by a cold hand on his cheek. He looked up and his blue eyes met gold.

"Now, that's not true, is it?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Of course not... He's just a friend..."

"That's good," the snake's hand ran down a smooth jaw and tan neck, "now I know you haven't been taken yet," he licked his lips and slammed the confused blond against the wall, pinning his arms behind his back.

Naruto's eyes widened as realization dawned on him. But before he could holler, a clammy hand covered his mouth, the smell of cleaner making the boy's vision swim.

"Now, now, Naruto-kun, don't be scared..." Orochimaru crooned, "this is just part of the repayment for your apartment, so just relax," his bent his head down and ran his long tongue up the blond's neck, enjoying the scared whimpers he was producing.

Oh God... I'm going to be raped... Naruto's mind closed off and all he could think about was Sasuke. The raven's smirk, his eyes, his skin, his voice... everything...

Sasuke...! Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes and he gave a muffled cry when teeth sunk into his neck.

The door to the room slammed open and Naruto looked over, tears finally slipping down his cheeks. Through his hazy vision, he could only see the sillouhuette of his savior. But there was one distinct feature he could make out. Blood red eyes.
