Chapter Two: Sasuke's Personal Hell aka Mine

It was nearly 10:30 AM and Naruto had just woken up and was now running around, trying to get ready in a hurry. After taking about a shower and brushing his teeth which took a little under ten minutes, he pulled some clothes on which ended up being light blue boxers, baggy dark blue jeans that hung low on his hips, a dark orange t-shirt with a dark blue swirl mark in the middle of it, and some sneakers that were white, dark gray, light gray, and light blue.

Once all his clothes were on and in place, he quickly comb his still damp hair then took off down the stairs, it was now a little past ten 'till and he still had to get something to eat!

Meanwhile, Sasuke had been up and dressed awhile ago and was now setting down at the kitchen table eating some cereal. He was wearing khaki shorts that came down to an inch past his knees, a plain back t-shirt that clung to him nicely, and sneakers that were mainly black with some blue here and there.

Sasuke was just finshing up his cereal when Naruto came running into the kitchen, almost tripping over his own two feet. The darker haird boy blinked when as he watched his cousin run about the kitchen, getting a bowl then putting some cereal in it and then milk over that. After the blond had retrieved a spoon, he ate his cereal very fast, setting a new personal record for himself of just under ten seconds.

Once Naruto had put his bowl into the sink, his aunt came into the room and said, "It's time to go boys, hurry up now. I'll be waiting for you both in the car." She then headed back out of the kitchen then out to the car.

"Hurry up cuz!" The blue-eyed boy told his cousin while snatching his bowl and spoon and taking it over to the sink. He then went back over to his cousin and grabbed him by the hand. "Lets go! Lets go!" Poor Sasuke was then drug off, out of the house by his hyper cousin.

Around thirty minutes later, they got to the mall. Before the two boys got out of the car, Akuba told them to be good, stay out of trouble, and other such things. Once they were given the money and charge cards (the kind you can get from certain stores and such), the darker haired boy was yanked out of the car then towards the mall at an almost inhuman pace.

Sasuke didn't know whether he should be happy that they had finally got there or not because he now feared being in the mall with his blonde haired cousin would be worse then being in the car with him. While they were in the car, Naruto almost constantly was bothering Sasuke. Asking him a billion questions and poking him and such when he wasn't paying attention.

"Hey! Sasuke-chan! Are you listening to me!?" The younger of the two cousins asks while poking at Sasuke's shoulder. "You had a dazed look on your face like you weren't paying any attention to me!!" He said while the other boy blinked slightly. Sighing slightly, Naruto grabbed hold of his cousin by the arm again. "Just hurry up now, okay? I want to hurry up with the clothes so I can go and get other stuff and stuffs like that!" He then nods slightly to make his point before he once again drags his cousin.

***

It was official. He must be in hell and Naruto must be some sort of demon that was suppose to torture him. This is what the dark haired boy continued to tell himself at least. Oh and yes, he almost had himself believing this, for his cousin had drug him around to basically every store in this mall, making him try on random things he did NOT want to try on. The only reason Naruto was even able to get him into those clothes was because he kept threatening to drag him into the dressing room and change him himself which is something Sasuke just did NOT want to happen. Period. So, he had to go through trying on the random things his 'dear' cousin thought would look good on him.

As Sasuke's own personal hell continued on, Naruto seemed to be completely oblivious to his cousin's discomfort which Sasuke couldn't believe. How could anyone be so annoying and not realize it!? Naruto couldn't be that 'gifted'. That is when the dark haired boy looked over at his cousin who was coming at him with a pink shirt. Sasuke gulped as he thought, 'Or.. Maybe he could be.…' He then twitched slightly.

---At the other end of the mall---

Two boys walked side by side though the mall. Once had black hair and red eyes (had to keep them sharigan-ish.. Hehe.), and the other hard mahogany hair and sea green eyes. The one with the darker hair was an inch or two taller then the other was and he had relatively bored look on his face, as did the other.

Both of the boys obviously had some makeup around the eyes on, the taller one having some eye linger and mascara on while the shorter had black makeup all around his eyes. The shorter also had a tattoo on his forehead which was the kanji for love.

Itachi, the taller of the two had on black leather pants that had straps of leather going across them in different ways and buckles here and there, black boots, a black mesh shirt with a dark red button up shirt over it that was left unbuttoned, black leather cuffs around each of his wrists with silver metal spikes sticking out of them, and a black chocker around his neck. His hair was pulled back into a pony tail at the nap of his neck except for his bangs which fell into his eyes slightly.

Gaara, the other boy, was wearing pants like Itachi's only they were a dark red almost black color, black boots, a dark purple tank top that was skin tight on him basically, some dark red and dark purple rubber bracelets around each of his wrists, and a black collar with silver metal spikes sticking out of it around his neck. His hair was spiked up slightly.

As the two boys walked through the mall, both were trying to find something that could keep their interest for at least a few seconds since the today had just been boring as hell since it had started. So, since today was turning out to be such a boring day, they decided to try and find 'someone' to 'play' with. If you don't understand what that means, don't worry, you'll understand later on.

So far, no one had caught either of the boys' attention. Sure, there were plenty of cute boys and cute girls here, but none of them seemed all that interesting to either of the boys.

"This might turn out to be hopeless.." The darker haired of the two muttered as he glanced around.

With a sigh, the one with sea green eyes nodded. "Looks like it.." He muttered back while also glancing around.

That's when both of the boys caught sight of someone that just might interest them. A blonde boy who almost seemed to be bouncing as he drug a darker haired boy behind him who quite frankly, looked scared for his life at this point in time.

Both of the boys said the same thing at the same time after they observed the boy for a few moments, which was: "Mine." This caused the two to turn and glare at each other for a moment before the both smiled slightly and turned to go there separate ways for now. Both knew, without having to say it, they'd start up a little contest for the yellow haired boy which started now.

Felicia: Okay, there's the second chapter! I hope you all liked it! Next chapter, Gaara and Itachi start their plans for getting Naruto. If any of you have any suggestions for how they can get him, leave them in a review. Oh, and remember, the more reviews I get, the sooner I'll update!
