A/N: Hello! Well, I hope you enjoyed the last chapter. I'm sorry for any errors in it.

This isn't one of the best chapters I've written yet. I hope you enjoy it! Please review, I love and read all my reviews!

This is a SasuSaku story mainly, it has a one sided NaruSasu that wasn't introduced yet. Unless of course the readers would rather have it end up NaruSasu then I can have it that way. Review and tell me which pairing you'd rather have.

Also, I need some ideas of other pairings other than SasuSaku and NaruSasu.

In Any Other World

Chapter 1

I'm Gonna Love You.

Sasuke Uchiha made a slow recovery and it wasn't until a month and a half that he was practically back to his normal self. His chakra was abnormally low and wasn't likely to heal for a while so he would be restricted to little missions if any at all.

Shizune came to Naruto and Sasuke's door and escorted them down to the Hokage tower for a meeting with Tsunade. The two sat in chairs in front of the hokage's desk. “Well, Sasuke you've finally recovered, except for your chakra. But at any rate you will be allowed to start your punishment. Well, you've lost a lot of fame and respect from many village members, so you must try your hardest to gain it back. So, here's what you have to do-” But she was interrupted by the door opening to reveal Umino Iruka.

Naruto's face grew into a huge grin and screeched, “Iruka-sensei!” The older brown haired ninja nervously smiled back and stood next to Sasuke, bowing politely to Tsunade.

“Just in time Iruka, I was just about to explain the circumstances to them,” Tsunade welcomed Iruka, and gestured to him to pull up a seat. “Now Sasuke. You will assist Iruka with his classes.” Sasuke's face painfully contorted into surprise, Sasuke was definitely not good with children. Sasuke's thoughts of children included annoying, loud, and obnoxious. Tsunade chuckled quietly at his face, “Yes, you will help him with teaching them until I feel you can go on to the next step.”

Naruto looked in disbelief. Of course Naruto wouldn't have found working with Iruka, who has been a father-like model for him since he was a kid, much like a punishment. He glanced at Sasuke and almost burst out in laughter at his horrorstricken face.

“You will start immediately tomorrow. Iruka will explain everything to you. You are all dismissed.” The three ninjas left the office and immediately departed from each other. Naruto and Sasuke were on their way out of the tower when they ran into Sakura who was just coming in to start her day as a medic-nin.

“Oh, hey guys!” Sakura exclaimed excitedly, things between the three had gotten a lot more normal. They spent a lot of days training with each other, yet they haven't seen a whole lot of Sai lately. “Naruto, you should take Sasuke-kun shopping for new clothes since he's going to be teaching,” Sakura suggested while Sasuke simply glared at her. The heir to the Uchiha clan absolutely detested being treated like a dog, but Naruto reminded him that he deserved it all the time.

So the two of them spent the day going around shopping for Sasuke with plenty of arguments and abuse. The shorter blond male was trying to talk the older one into buying an obnoxiously bright orange shirt; Sasuke scowled and growled, “I refuse to wear anything that is that disgusting color, dobe. It's horrid.” Naruto simply muttered under his breath and put the shirt back.

The two agreed on that an outfit similar to Sasuke's when he was 12 would work so they picked out a shirt with a large collar on it and a pair of shorts on it for around the town. Then for teaching they picked out an outfit very much like Kakashi-sensei's. The two got home and immediately plopped down on the couch exhaustedly.

Short moments after they got home they heard a knock on the door and Naruto got up and opened the door to reveal Sakura as usual. “Hey guys, I brought you guys dinner!” In her hands clutched a bag with 6 containers of ramen from Ichiraku's for them, “This time I brought you enough,” she nodded towards Naruto.

The three of them sat at the table eating their ramen, Sakura and Sasuke each had one but Naruto ate the rest. “So, Sasuke-kun, are you looking forward to helping Iruka?” Sakura questioned, already guessing the answer.

The quiet ebon haired male stared into his empty ramen bowl, “Hn…Sure.” He emotionlessly replied, anyone could tell he wasn't anywhere near excited or content with being with little children for hours.

The morning came sooner than Sasuke could have ever hoped and walked to the school with Iruka. “Good morning, Sasuke,” Iruka politely said. The problem really wasn't Iruka, Sasuke had spent countless times over at Iruka's with Naruto, it was those kids. Knowing them, they'd say something stupid to their parents and he'd get kicked out of the village. Sasuke was never good with kids; it just wasn't in his blood.

“Good morning everyone! Uchiha Sasuke has more than willingly accepted to help me with class! Please welcome him nicely,” Iruka announced as everyone got there and sat down. Sasuke noticed some of the girls blushed and many of the boys glared, whatever he expected wasn't this. But nonetheless, he got a big, “Welcome Sasuke-sensei!” from all of them.

Sasuke weakly offered a smile back, “Good morning…” His voice was hesitant and soft. Immediately a hand shot up from a little boy who looked extremely excited to meet the Uchiha Sasuke. “Uh…Yes?” Sasuke called on the boy, not sure what to expect from the boy.

“Uhm, Sasuke-sensei…Is it true you're living with that monster?!” The boy exclaimed, both Iruka and Sasuke's eyes widened. The whole class grew silent and just sat there in complete shock at the question. The boy obviously overheard their parents referring to Naruto as `the monster'. Iruka was about to scold the boy when Sasuke interrupted.

He glared, mentally knowing it wasn't a good idea to glare at little children, “I don't know where you heard I live with a monster,” which was a lie because he did in fact know where the kid learned this, “But, I assure you, the person I'm living with is not a monster, I have never seen a monster in this village.” Sasuke's voice was stern and offended, “Any other questions?”

“Yes…Was it true that they tried to destroy the Uchiha Manor?” The boy asked curiously, Sasuke just stared back in complete shock. His eyes grew wide and remained silent. Iruka yelled at him and gave him detention for being rude to the new teacher and had to do extra laps. Throughout the entire lesson Sasuke couldn't shake the Uchiha Manor out of his mind; the truth was he really didn't know that they tried to destroy it. He hadn't even thought about it in the months that he's been here.

Iruka sent apprehensive looks at Sasuke as if he was a bomb ready to go off. At the end of the class when Naruto came to see how it went, Iruka pulled him aside and in a urgent voice whispered, “Sasuke found out that their going to try to destroy the Uchiha Manor, keep an eye on him.” The younger boy worriedly nodded and left with the Uchiha home.

“So how was your first day?” Naruto timidly asked, hoping Sasuke would talk to him about it. Sasuke plopped himself on the couch and picked up a book grumpily and scowled at the blond.

“Just great…” He mumbled under his breath, idly reading the book. The younger boy's eye brow rose curiously and reached over and grabbed the book from the raven's hair. “Give that back dobe!” He growled out.

“I didn't know you liked to read teme!” Naruto exclaimed, and held it out of the other boy's reach. “But, I'll give it back to you if you tell me what happened today.” Sasuke gave him a deadly glare and got up and went to his room and slammed his door shut. Naruto winced slightly; he dropped the book onto the coffee table gently.

It was two hours and Sasuke still was brooding in his room, Naruto sent cautious glances at the door. The blond always felt guilty that he had to get rid of the windows from Sasuke's room on order of the Village Council. They had to treat the raven as if he was dieing to get out of Konoha and would hop out any escape he could see.

The young blond decided to make supper of curry for them. On some days Sakura would come to cook for them but when she had work at the hospital Naruto would cook. He had learned from Iruka over the past couple of weeks on how to cook ever since Sasuke has insulted his cooking abilities several times.

A half hour later when the curry was served at the table Naruto loudly banged on Sasuke's door, “Teme, dinner's ready!” And without waiting for a reply he slowly opened the door and saw that Sasuke had fallen asleep on his bed. Walking over to the raven haired boy he poked him into consciousness. “Temeeeee,” the blond whined, “I'm hungry wake up!”

“I'm awake,” Sasuke muttered, Naruto lead him to the dinner table. They began to eat while Naruto gave apprehensive glances towards Sasuke now and then. Sasuke had been acting extremely different than normal; he usually wasn't as agitated as he was. Of course he was always cold and distant, but he got better in the months and now he was back to being his old hateful self. The blond could get the other male to smile at least once a day but he was so miserable right now.

Naruto knew that Sasuke would eventually find out about the Village Council wanting to burn down the Uchiha Manor, thinking that Sasuke wouldn't come back to the village, but he never imagined he'd act like this. The blond looked out the window and exclaimed loudly, “Woah, it's raining!” No sooner had the words slipped out of his mouth than a flash of lightning accompanied by thunder occurred.

The two decided to go to bed earlier than usual without training at all that day, Sasuke avoided talking to the blond at all so they found no need staying awake. Though, Sasuke didn't sleep at all he simply stared at the ceiling clenching his fists tensely.

It was almost midnight when Naruto woke up to a loud sound of thunder right out of his window. He immediately sat up and noticed a chill of air coming in the room, he looked at the window and noticed it open. A feeling of panic swept into his stomach, he never slept with his window opened. The panic-stricken blond stumbled into Sasuke's room, immediately he fell to his knees weakly as he saw the empty bed, “That bastard!” He cried out.

Naruto quickly got his clothes on and grabbed his things. He ran out of the house, not sure where to go. Then a voice caught in his mind Sasuke found out that their going to try to destroy the Uchiha Manor, keep an eye on him. `Damn, how could I have been so stupid?' He thought.

Naruto sprinted towards the Uchiha Manor, he looked around for a sign of anyone at all and noticed a convenient store was open. He walked in quickly and looked at the cashier; “Did you see Uchiha Sasuke come by?” his voice shaky with anticipation.

The cashier nodded, “Well…There was a man here who bought a lighter and a bottle of alcohol.” Naruto's eyes widened in shock and without one more word to the man he turned on his heels and ran out. He looked in the direction of the manor and noticed smoke coming from the roof. He loudly cursed and went back to sprinting until he heard a voice calling after him.

“Naruto! Naruto, where are you going?! It's storming out here, you'll get hurt.” Naruto turned around and saw Sakura chasing after him; he hadn't even noticed that his clothes were soaked straight through.

“Go get Tsunade, right now! Sasuke is in the Uchiha Manor and he's burning it down but if you tell her that he'll be banned from this village. Just tell her that it's on fire and I'll be able to make up a story when she gets there!” Without any further questioning they left in separate ways.

In what seemed like forever Naruto finally arrived at the burning manor, “Sasuke!” He screamed out, he ran through the whole house until he ran across the deck and got to a large double door. He grabbed the handles and whipped the doors open.

The blond coughed loudly and almost passed out as his face was greeted with a huge cloud of smoke. He covered his mouth and looked around for Sasuke, he was hunched over in a corner passed out. Naruto quickly grabbed the unconscious teen and heaved him outside and into the yard near a pond and splashed the water onto him. “Sasuke!” He repeated over and over again trying to bring him back into consciousness.

Sasuke's emotionless eyes opened and stared right into Naruto's. In a blink of an eye, Naruto was over the raven and sent a punch right into collision with his face. “Bastard! You were almost free until you had to pull a stunt like this, what were you thinking?! We worked so hard to get you back here and now you blew it, you could have died!”

Blue eyes stared straight into sad black ones. Naruto was about to go on with his rant until he noticed that a tear slid down Sasuke's face. “S-sasuke?” The blond was taken by surprised, never in all these years of knowing the boy had he seen him cry.

“They were going to destroy it…” The raven was shaking and drenched from the rain and before he got to finish he passed out and slipped into unconsciousness.

Out of no where Naruto was grabbed by the back of his collar and shoved off Sasuke. The two of them were taken to the hospital where they got Naruto dried and Sasuke taken care of.

Naruto and Sakura sat next to Sasuke's hospital bed, “Naruto…We need a story to cover up for Sasuke. I'll tell them that lightning struck it while Sasuke was there. Okay?” The blond simply nodded.

Sakura walked out of the room and heard the mumbles of voices outside the door. The two teenage boys sat in awkward silence, thoughts of Sasuke getting banned from the village floating through both of their minds.

Without warning the door was whipped open, “Okay. You two are free to go after your final check up, without punishment,” Tsunade announced though she still gave suspicious looks to the two. “Sakura will just heal that nasty cut on your face, Sasuke. Naruto you need to go eat something, come back in an hour when Sasuke is ready to come home.”

Sakura pulled up a chair next to Sasuke's bed as the two others left the room. “You're really lucky Naruto stood up for you, you'd be gone if he hadn't,” Sakura lightly scolded. He responded with a slight, “Hn” but there was proof in his facial expression he was thinking over it in his mind.

“Look here Sasuke-kun,” Sakura demanded quietly, she raised her hands and cupped the side of his face, letting her chakra leak out in order to heal the wound. She was concentrating so much on her chakra she didn't notice how they shifted closer together.

Out of the blue, Sakura noticed how close their faces were and red started to appear on her cheeks. Without thinking the two closed the gap between them, the kiss was inexperienced and awkward and timidly Sakura moved her lips against Sasuke's gently. Sasuke surprisingly kissed back, he moved his hand to her waist. After a few moments into the kiss however, the two ended the kiss.

Sakura wasn't sure if she regretted kissing him or if she wanted to do it again as awkward silence set in once more. Though all thoughts of regret seemed to disappear as Sasuke leaned in for another kiss this time he reached up and took her hands in his. Suddenly Sakura realized where she was and that someone could walk in at this very moment, she pulled away abruptly and her cheeks flared an extraordinary crimson color. The pink haired girl wasn't quite sure what to do so she did the only thing that came to her mind as she panicked. She ran.

A/N: I hope you liked this chapter…I didn't think it was that great. But please tell me what you think! Bahhh Sasuke was so OOC in this, I'm sorry.
