a Naruto story

Chapter one

‘I tried hating you, I really tried. But I can’t. I prayed for your unhappiness and misery that was the closest I could get to hating you. Why could I never hate you? That was what I really want ask you, but that's impossible.’ Those were the thoughts that were running through his mind as they brought him to his office.
“Naruto-sama what do you want us to do with him?” One of the guards asked.
“Wait outside-“
“Is that wise?”
“Don’t you think I can handle him? Or are you just-“
“Iie gomen ne Naruto-sama.”
”Good, now would you be so kind to leave?” Both guards left, leaving the two men alone.
“You made your dream come true, huh dobe?”
“And you? Did you get the chance to complete what you started, teme?”
“I said I would do it, and I did.” The raven haired gave one of his ‘famous’ smirks.
“Why did you come back?” The blond asked, his voice sounded emotionless as he flipped through his papers.
“Hn.”
“Why did you come back, Sasuke?” Naruto asked, not taking his eyes of the papers.
“You want me to answer that?”
“Would I have asked if I didn’t?” Their eyes met, and almost like fighting for dominance they stared at each other.
“Um boys, you’re gonna stare long at each other?”
“Kakashi, just till he says why he came back…” Naruto answered.
“You’re aware of that there’s other ways of finding it out…”
“I won’t tell you.” Sasuke stated.
“You wanna bet on that?”
“I’m not losing.”
“And they still act like they’re twelve.” Sakura stated when entering the room. “Nice seeing you’re alive, Sasuke, could have chosen a better time to return. But I’m not complaining. So Naruto, why the hell am I here? I have more important things to take care of at the hospital. Like the fact that both Kiba and Neji got badly hurt during the ‘bringing-back-Sasuke-alive’ mission you sent half the force out on. And I have to deal with both a sobbing Hinata and an annoyed Gaara that won’t leave Neji’s side.”
“Nice of you to take some time from your busy life to come and do something your Hokage asks you to do.” Naruto said, ‘I thought she would handle this whole thing differently, like breaking down crying or something. I guess she can handle her feelings better than I thought’, he said, still not breaking eye contact with Sasuke.
“Naruto you really should be looking at the person you’re talking to.” Sakura said.
“Do you intend to stop anytime soon?” Sasuke asked sitting down in the sofa.
“Do you intend to tell me anytime soon?”
“No”
“Then; no”
“Were they always like this, Sakura?”
“I think they were, Kakashi.”


One hour later;
“Okay I give up, Naruto. I really have other obligations then watching two grown men staring at each other and acting like five year olds. So WHY am I here?”
“I was going to ask you to look at the injuries Sasuke has, but since he’s been an ass I changed my mind-“
“Kami! You really are five years old aren’t you!” She walked up to Sasuke. “Where are the injuries?” Sasuke let Sakura examine him, but never once did he break the eye contact.
“Naruto,” She didn’t turn to face him. “he hasn’t got anything that he needs to go to the hospital for, but I want you to keep an eye on him. Not staring him down, just keep an eye. Got it?” She looked at him now. “And if anything happens you WILL tell me. You’re listening?”
“If something happens I’ll let you know.”
“Great, then I am leaving too.” Kakashi said disappearing.
“Then I’m leaving now, don’t forget what you promised.”
“No I won’t. Bye.” With that Sakura left.


Naruto walked up to Sasuke, sitting at the arm rest facing each other.
“You’re not going to tell me are you?”
“No.”
“Not ever?”
“Maybe.”
“When?”
“When I feel like talking.”
“You never feel like talking.”
“Heh.”
“Fine.” Naruto broke their eye contact and walked towards the door.
“Weren’t you-“
“Sasuke how much I did love competing against you at anything years ago, I don’t anymore. If you don’t want to tell me, fine. It’s not like I can do anything about it.” He opened the door. “Lyrica you can come out now.” A girl, probably around 15 walked in.
“Um hi… do you have some time?”
“I always have time for you.”
“Does he have to be here?” She asked glaring at Sasuke.
“Sorry but he kinda does.”
“Hn.” She crossed her arms over her chest. “Fine.” Naruto rolled his eyes and sighed.
“What did you want?”
“You know the mission you’re making me do?!” Naruto nodded. “Well I was wondering if I could bring Konahamaru and his team with me, since both Hinata-san and mums busy.”
“Yes your mum told me about how busy she was, not that I can blame her.”
“Well it is kinda your fault.”
“Lyrica take Konahamaru with you, but I don’t want to hear about some stupid trick you both pulled at some local when you return. Got it?” She frowned.
“Fine. See you at home later.” She kissed his cheek and disappeared.
“Kids…” Naruto said and shook his head. Sasuke stared at him. “What?”
“Um you have a kid? With Sakura?” Sasuke looked like he was disappointed, hurt even.
“So what if I do?” Naruto asked. “What do you care? It’s not like you’ve been around these last, 18 years?”
“I thought you didn’t love Sakura, that it all was just a crush back then.”
“Sasuke, what’s been happening in this village for these past 18 years, you have no clue. If you hadn’t been so preoccupied with your own vengeance you might have gotten the chance to have a life, a family.”
“Like you?”
“Sasuke, for these past 21 years I’ve done nothing but tried to get you back to this village.” ‘Do you really think I would have had the time to start my own family? When the only thing that goes through my mind is where you might be? What I could do to make you come back’ Naruto shook his head. “No Sasuke. You-“ It knocked on the door. “Enter.”
“Naruto-sama I need those papers on supplies to the school.” A girl said walking in to the office.
“Sure, I have them right here.” He grabbed some of the papers on his desk. “How come Iruka didn’t get them himself?” The girl blushed. “Kakashi picked him up, ne?” She nodded and Naruto sighed. “Tell Iruka that I need to talk to him first thing tomorrow, and tell him I don’t care if he has a hard time walking over here.” This made the girl blush even more, she bowed and left.
“Do you have a child with Sakura or not?” Sasuke asked trying to talk in his usual stoic voice but it gave in.
“Do you care?”
“No not really…” He tried.
“Then you don’t need to know.”


Later that evening;
“Since I can’t let you live in your mansion right now and the jails not the best place to have you in and all the inns are overbooked due to the winter festival, and Sakura would kill me if I dumped you in the hospital when I promised to keep an eye on you. You just have to spend some time at my house.”
“Don’t you live in a small apartment?”
“So?”
“Well…”
“Not good enough for you Uchiha?”
“I’ll be fine.”
“We’re home.” Naruto said when he opened the door to his apartment.
“Hi- what’s he doing here?” Lyrica asked when she met them in the hallway.
“I-“Naruto started but got cut of.
“You could have asked Shikamaru or Choji to look after him.”
“Your mum told me to keep an eye on him.”
“So? Like you ever listen to what mum says!”
“That’s enough. I just got home and I really don’t need this right now.”
“Gomen ne.” He kissed her forehead. “I made dinner.” He smiled at her.
“That’s great. Go and take out another plate so Sasuke can eat to.” She rolled her eyes but did as he told her. “Sasuke this way.” Naruto showed him around the apartment, two bedrooms, the living room, kitchen and dining area were one, a bathroom and a small balcony.
“Dinners done.” Lyrica said and placed down three plates of ramen on the dinner table.
“Great.” Both the males joined her at the table. Then the doorbell rang. “I’ll get it.” Naruto said and walked to the door. Lyrica and Sasuke just sat there, glaring at each other, till Sasuke asked; “Sakura is your mother, ne?”
“Hai.”
“And Naruto? He’s your dad?” A smirk filled the girls face.
“Haven’t he told you?”
“Hn.”
“Ha, but since you asked you want to know, ne?” They looked at each other, there was something about that girl, Sasuke just couldn’t put his finger on what. “He’s –“
“What are you guys talking about?” Naruto asked walking back to the table. Damn you Naruto. “It was Inami, she wants to talk to you Lyrica.”
“Okay.” Lyrica left the table smirking at Sasuke. “Then I’m off! See you tomorrow.”
“Good night.” Naruto said as the door closed. Both men ate their dinner quietly
“I’ll do the dishes.” Sasuke offered when they had finished eating.
“Sure. I need to take a shower. You wont disappear on me while I’m gone will you?” Naruto asked walking towards the bathroom.
“Aren’t there guards outside?”
“Yea but you never know what plan you come up with.” He said and smiled.
“Hn.”
“I take that as a ‘No I won’t go anywhere Naruto’”. Sasuke rolled his eyes and watched as Naruto disappeared behind the bathroom door.
“I’m finally back, why would I leave?” Sasuke asked out loud.
