A/N: Naruto’s mask is kinda slippery, so it’ll be on and off continually. The fic is meant to be that way. There are some plots and pasts coming up…so you’ll see why he’s like that soon enough. Sasuke might seem a little OOC at the end or something, but that's cos his up bringing is different here...though he has been through some things of his own.
Chapter 2:
Sasuke watched as Naruto handed the check to Orochimaru. He was leaving… he’d though he’d never leave this dump…and if he could act as a boyfriend for a month, then he’d be free! He took his time to watch his new ‘master’. The man was about 5’11 with short sunshine blond hair neatly gelled to stick up in the right places. (A bit like Ginji from getbackers in Raitei mode.) Tan skin was complimented by deep sky blue eyes and three whisker-like marks accented each cheek. Sasuke decided that he wasn’t bad looking; in fact he was a very good looking man. Why would a man like that need a slave to pretend to be his boyfriend? All this Uzumaki Naruto had to do was flick a finger and have people drooling at his feet.
Naruto turned to see Sasuke staring at him intently. He looked the man up and down…Sasuke had gotten into some navy blue sweat pants, but that was it. Shit, they’d have to get him some clothes. He gave another easy smile. “Ja, Sasuke! We must be leaving. Say goodbye to old man Orochi!”
Sasuke saw the vein in the snake man’s forehead twitch and smirked in satisfaction. “Goodbye, Orochimaru-san.”
They left and Sasuke saw the sleekest limo he had ever seen. He was ushered in somewhat quickly by a masked driver. The seats were really comfortable…he hadn’t ever been inside a car like this, though he’d had to take a driving test and get his licence, in case his master needed him to drive.
The driver turned around and looked at Naruto. “Nice choice, Naruto-san. Did you pay the owner to keep his mouth, shut?”
“An extra million…and a death threat. Happy?”
Kakashi smiled and nodded. Or at least Sasuke thought he’d smiled, you couldn’t make out under that mask. “Well, we’d better be leaving then. Don’t have to get clothes for…?”
“Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke.”
“You’re an Uchiha…?” Kakashi stared at Sasuke in shock, but he recovered very quickly. “Well, I have an extra shirt here. So we could stop on the way. I have an inkling you want to get him the best clothes affordable, right Naruto-san?”
“Aa. OKAY! Kakashi! Let’s leave shall we?” Naruto yelled jovially. Sasuke couldn’t help noticing the blond man sounded a little strained. But then Naruto turned to him with another huge smile. “We’re going to have so much fun! Oh my god!! It’ll be awesome to see baa-chan’s face when she sees that you’re my date!!”
“Hn. Of course they will usuratonkachi. After all I am a five million dollar slave…you’d only be worth one.” He watched with amusement as Naruto gawped like a fish out of water. Then something in his eyes changed…there was a light…a spark of annoyance…a genuine emotion.
Kakashi watched his master intently from the rear-view mirror. It was still there…small, but then it lingered. It was the first emotion Naruto-sama had shown in five years, how odd that it was some silly remark by a slave that could get a reaction from him? (Mind you I am not saying its love. It’s just a reaction.)
“Are you insane? Look at my beautiful blond hair…the deep blue eye, tan skin and kissable lips. Of course I’m beautiful! I’d be worth ten million!” Naruto yelled.
“Whatever. You’re giving me a headache!”
“What! Teme!!! You’re supposed to be my slave! You be my slave right now!” Naruto growled, wanting to shake the Uchiha…this was a slave, he couldn’t let a slave bug him. Maybe he was just tired.
The Uchiha smiled and turned, pinning Naruto beneath him, an amused gleam in his eye. “So what would you like me to do, master?”
The blond’s eyes widened innocently. Kakashi frowned. Naruto hadn’t been with anyone or touched anyone in years, at least in this area he’d reverted back to being innocent…like a man who didn’t want to remember. (1)
Sasuke smirked, so the kawaii businessman was actually an innocent little gaki… this was going to be so amusing. Naruto pushed him away roughly, his voice icy. “Pervert! Get away from me! I told you, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do! Well…not those things anyway!”
“Then stop arguing, dobe.” Sasuke just leaned back and looked out the window. They didn’t converse after that. They were driving through the City Square of Otogakure. Before, this had been a ruined border city, but then the Rice country government had decided to make it the capital three years ago. It had blossomed quite well. He looked up to see that Kakashi was continually glancing through the rear view mirror, looking at Naruto in a weird manner.
He turned to regard the suddenly quiet blond, and saw that he was staring fixedly out of the window. His face was sheet white and his hands had clenched really hard and tight. When he spoke his voice was dead…flat with no emotion. It sent chills down Sasuke’s spine.
“Kakashi…get out of here, now. Drive as fast as you need to.”
Kakashi glanced at his boss and then turned back to the wheel, clutching it tightly. He wished Naruto had gone to sleep like the ride here…it would have been so much better. “Yes, Uzumaki-sama. I’ll do it right away.”
About ten minutes after they’d passed the Square, Naruto tuned to Sasuke with a calm smile. “So what would you like to eat, Sasuke?”
Sasuke blinked…he hadn’t expected the blond to recover so quickly. “Onigiri.” Naruto nodded and said something about it being a good choice. Then the dobe, promptly when to sleep…drool and all. When Sasuke tried to wake him, Kakashi stopped him saying it was better to let him sleep. They reached Konoha soon enough. Sasuke saw umpteen pictures of Naruto on bill boards and walls. They drew up in front what looked like an expensive store. He saw Kakashi gesture to him and woke Naruto.
Kakashi handed Sasuke the shirt. “Go with Naruto-san. I’ll be getting your food. Make sure he doesn’t pick out anything too gaudy…he has this love for orange.”
Sasuke winced. He followed Naruto into a store, feeling strangely out of place. The blond pulled out a dozen things for him to wear. A few suits, some shirts, t-shirts, trousers, jeans, underwear and what not. They even went towel shopping. He had an argument with Naruto about the fact that he liked black and that the blond should respect it. Finally Naruto gave in and got him a lot of blacks, blues and greys.
They got back in time to meet Kakashi and headed to Naruto’s home. Sasuke had been made to change into a light blue shirt and a pair of jeans. He’d never worn underwear before, so he felt uncomfortable. They got into the elevator and went all the way to the top.
Sasuke’s eyes widened in awe as he stepped into the penthouse. There was a huge terrace, a swimming pool, a billiards table covered in water proof cloth, a gym a little way off…and this was just the outside. When he stepped inside he saw a huge living room with a fireplace and huge black leather furniture. Naruto led him to a bedroom.
“You can sleep here.”
Sasuke looked around and rubbed the silk sheets in a daze. He was to live here? He’d be so pampered… he changed into the dark grey pajamas Naruto had bought for him and sauntered into the living room. He could see Naruto in the open kitchen unpacking the food. He’d changed into blue sweat pants and a white T-shirt. Sasuke looked at a fairly big painting above the fireplace.
It was of a girl. She looked about eighteen with long red hair and amused golden eyes. She was wearing an off shoulder red evening gown and looking over her shoulder, smiling a small beautiful smile. Sasuke gulped; she was very beautiful. He heard Naruto come up behind him and turned.
“That’s Kyuubi…my fiancée.” Sasuke’s eyes widened…then why…? The next sentence solved the puzzle. “She’s dead.” He saw a wave of sadness wash over those deep blue eyes and then it was gone again.
He wondered what to say. “I’m sorry.”
Naruto shook is head grinning ruefully. “There’s no use in you being sorry. You had nothing to do with it.”
Sasuke slapped his head. “That’s not why I said it. I meant I was sorry for your loss, dobe. My god, I can’t believe you’re a rich business man.”
Naruto laughed. “Well I can’t either. But it’s because of my genius manager I guess. Coming to that…when we go home tomorrow…you’ll say that you work for me. You work in the creative department…ok? My company is a big software company…we design games too, so all you have to do is think of fun games and leave it to the rest to design it. We’ve all ready taken you on. So know one will know the difference.”
“What about your staff…?”
“My staff knows when to keep shut.” Naruto’s voice was firm. “Here’s your onigiri. Itadakimasu.” He began slurping his food…which looked like ramen.
Sasuke bit into his onigiri and almost smiled. A pleased look came onto his stoic face. He’d never tasted such good onigiri. He saw Naruto looking at him with a satisfied smile. The rest of the meal went in silence. Then Naruto stood up.
“I’m going to bed. I hope you don’t mind, that I am not talking to you or anything, but I’m really tired. It’s been a very long day. We are leaving tomorrow, so you’ll have to pack. Goodnight.” The blond disappeared into the bedroom opposite his.
Sasuke sighed and went to his room. He’d never packed before…but he had a fair idea that everything was to be neat and tidy placed into a bag…he found one that Naruto had left for him and began. Then he went to sleep or tried too…but he was wearing too many clothes and the silk sheets didn’t feel too good. Sasuke shrugged off his sheets and his top. Then he lay on the carpeted floor with a pillow under his head and drifted off.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“So where are we going, dobe?”
“Don’t call me that, teme!” Naruto ground out frustrated. “We’re going by air, to the city Suna in Wind Country. My family lives there now, though we were originally from Konoha.”
“By air…you mean by plane?” Sasuke asked feeling fear grow inside. He’d never been on a plane…he’d just been transported by bus or something of the sort.
Naruto nodded. “Oh here’s Kakashi…I think he’s got the authorization to leave. Ok…come on; we need to get to my jet.”
Sasuke nodded and followed the two men. He saw Kakashi wrap a reassuring arm around Naruto and whisper a few things to him. The younger man nodded and frowned, muttering something. Kakashi just laughed and ruffled his hair. Sasuke felt a pang of longing…he wished there was someone like that for him…someone he could confide in. Suddenly a hand came down ruffling his hair as well. He looked up to see Kakashi’s eye curving upward, which he interpreted as a smile.
“Come, Sasuke…oh…I should be saying Uchiha-san now. We don’t want to be late, eh?”
“Hn.” Sasuke shrugged it off, though it felt nice to be touched by someone with no ulterior motives. He followed them out into the air field and up the stairway of the jet. Naruto taught him how to clip on his seat belt and explained stuff about his family to him.
“Now Tsunade ba-chan, (this is aunt. Baa-chan is old lady) is a crazy woman. Oh she’ll be very sweet to you, but you get on her bad side, she’ll give you the hardest punch possible. Jiraiya ji-san (uncle, jii is old man) is a lecher. He loves young women and writes porn.” Naruto was saying.
After that Sasuke zoned out because the thing was moving and they were flying and Sasuke wanted to yell. Naruto smiled and undid his seat belt once they’d stabilized. “I know…overwhelming experience, ne? Would you like something to drink? I’ve got some beer…I’m going to need one before I meet my family.”
“So, what are your parents like?”
Naruto started, spilling some of the beer. He swore. “Um…yeah sorry about that. My parents are ok. My mom died six years ago. My dad…well…what about your parents?”
Sasuke sighed. He wasn’t going to get any information from Naruto, was he? “Well, Naruto-san, I don’t know. I didn’t get a chance to know my parents. Orochimaru told me that Itachi, who is supposed to be my older brother, killed them. Ours was a free family…we didn’t have too much money, but we were supposedly happy. After Itachi massacred everyone, it was hushed up. No one was supposed to know about me, that’s how Orochimaru got his hands on me. I was four then. He let me turn ten, before I was trained to be a slave. I don’t remember anything about the massacre, though.”
Naruto looked away. “I’m sorry I asked. “
“No, it’s ok. It isn’t painful…well most of it anyway, dobe.”
“Don’t call me dobe! And don’t call me Naruto-san either. If you’re my boyfriend act like it once we land ok? When we land, you’re my boyfriend and we’re a couple. I’m not your master anymore.” Naruto waggled a finger at him.
Sasuke nodded. So I’m his boyfriend, huh? Hmm…that could be interesting. “Boyfriend the moment we land got it.” Naruto didn’t see the evil smirk gracing the raven’s face.
They landed at Suna airport, and Kakashi conjured a limo from somewhere. Then suddenly they were dicing on the desert like land of Suna. The airport was twenty minutes away from the city. Naruto was on his phone the whole way talking to some dude named Shikamaru about some deal.
Sasuke was bored…he wondered what a person did in a place like this. It was all either sandy desert or dry cliffy desert. Then he saw the city up ahead, a monstrous big one too. It had weird round topped buildings as big as Konoha’s sky scrapers. The people’s clothing was different too, they wore kimonos like most people, but these were off lighter material and scarves around their heads. Some women…slaves Sasuke assumed wore see garments and wandered around behind who seemed to be their masters.
Kakashi drove past the city. Five minutes away they reached huge gates, when they drove through Sasuke gasped. The whole place was built inside this glass-like globe. Suna’s weather was hot, but in here the temperature was pleasant. Garden’s were all over the place with various flowers blooming and small fountains with spewing water prettily. There were about three or four buildings a mile or so apart from each other. The foremost and most well kept and beautiful structure was the mansion.
Kakashi drove right up to the door and Naruto knocked loudly. The door opened and a young woman of about thirty appeared. She looked at Naruto and grinned catching him in a hug. “Naruto! You came! How’ve you been, gaki?”
“I’ve been fine baa-chan.”
“It’s not baa-chan, its ba-chan.”
“I know.”
“Are you calling me old, kusogaki?”
Sasuke watched as Naruto dodged all the hits and then frowned. If he was Naruto’s boyfriend, wasn’t he supposed to be protecting the blond? The next time Tsunade’s fist flew, he calmly caught it.
Tsunade looked at him…glared more like. “And who is this cocky bastard?”
Sasuke let go of her hand and slid one arm down Naruto’s chest and brought the other one up it, holding Naruto close. He smirked. “Nice to meet you, Tsunade-san. I’m Uchiha Sasuke, Naruto’s boyfriend.”
Naruto’s jaw was hanging open as he was pressed against Sasuke’s chest. One of the raven’s arms slipped off his body and stretched towards Tsunade. “I’m sorry I stopped you, but I had to protect my blond. So are you really Naruto’s aunt? You look too beautiful and young to be so.”
Tsunade stared and then blushed. She didn’t want to like this cocky brat, but he seemed to like Naruto. And he was so truthful. She smiled. “Nice to meet you, Uchiha-san. Hard to think an idiot like Naruto would find someone like you to date. Come in, I’ll show you your room.”
Naruto bristled, but before he could say anything, he was led off by the arm around his waist. He grumbled to himself as he followed Tsunade up the stairs. She was explaining things to Sasuke.
“My brother…that’s Naruto’s father used to live here with his wife. But after Naruto left he moved out. Jiraiya and I kept the gaki’s room exactly the way it was.” She turned to Naruto…her expression saddening a bit. “You’ll have to decide what to keep gaki…we couldn’t make that decision for you.”
Naruto nodded and then stepped in. Sasuke followed him in and stopped. A notice board on the room’s right wall was covered with pictures of that girl Kyuubi. He snuck a glance at Naruto and saw that the blond had stiffened. Then Naruto relaxed and moved to dump his bags in the left bottom corner of the room, next to his big desk and bookshelf which was on the lower wall. Opposite that was a bed…which Sasuke saw were covered in cotton sheets thankfully.
Naruto looked like he was in a daze. He stood in front of the notice board, and stroked one of the pictures gently. Then he fished a box out from a walk in closet next to the huge bathroom on the left and began to take down he pictures with loving care, until just one was left on the board. It was of Naruto and Kyuubi together on a branch.
Sasuke moved to study…Naruto didn’t even notice him. The couple were sitting on a branch and you couldn’t recognise Naruto. He looked very happy. The stupid grin Sasuke had come to think was a mask was firmly placed and those big blue eyes were looking at the redheaded girl with overflowing happiness and care. He wondered if Naruto could ever smile like that again…it would be nice, after all if for once someone who smiled at him with genuine happiness instead of lust. He threw himself onto the bed feeling tired…hey this wasn’t as extra soft as the one at the penthouse. This would do. He dozed.
Naruto put the box away and finally noticed Sasuke sprawled out on the bed. Then he blinked. “Teme! What are you doing here, spying on me?”
“Huh?” Sasuke surfaced from his sleep. “Don’t yell usuratonkachi. I sleep here…I’m going to be staying here for the rest of our stay.”
Then he saw Naruto go a little red and look like he was going to burst. “WHAT?!? WE’LL BE SLEEPING IN THE SAME BED? TEME!”
Sasuke was up in an instant. “Will you stop yelling, my head’s starting to hurt.”
Naruto frowned and grabbed him by the collar. “SHUT UP! CAN’T SLEEP IN THE SAME ROOM AS YOU! WE’RE NOT…”
“Stop it, Naruto. If you don’t quiet down…the whole house will know.” Sasuke frowned.
“I DON’T CARE ANYMORE; I DON’T LIKE PEOPLE TRYING TO…”
Sasuke realised that the git would give away the secret all by himself. He could hear footsteps outside. Sasuke had been brought up as a slave and while in a pinch he thought as a slave did. As the door opened, he did the only thing that came to mind to silence Naruto.
Tsunade walked in. “Oi, what’s all the…oh my god.”
Uzumaki Naruto was currently lying stunned in the arms of one Uchiha Sasuke…whose lips looked like they were moulded to his own.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N: Ok…I know a little bit of detail, but I needed to describe those things. Naruto’s secret will come out eventually. I know there isn’t much smut…but seriously they just met. Right now they’re not even friends…Sasuke just thinks Naruto is a nice guy and nice master and Naruto thinks Sasuke’s is a bastard bit tolerable all the same.
(1) No he wasn’t raped…that’s too clichéd. So just keep reading and you’ll know the truth.
Itachi: Ok, that's enough come to bed!
Taka: that's all you think about!! I'll be there in a minute!
Itachi: (catches Taka and begins dragging her away.) ok, i'll give you taka's formule so she'll get back to bed ok?
