Sasuke looked up from the desk where he was sitting. Naruto was just sitting there obseesed with his book.

Sasuke wanted to say something, anything... . Then, suddenly the teacher watching them said, "You may go."

As Sasuke got up to get his things, he noticed that Naruto had already left.

Sasuke quickly packed his things and ran out of the room to find Naruto. As soon as he got outside, he found the fox-like boy running out, and he saw why. Shikamaru and company we're approaching from the side. Sasuke ran forward and glared in their direction.

They stopped their approach and ran off. Sasuke ran up to Naruto. "Hey you baka, why didn't you say anything today", said Sasuke. Naruto stared at the ground with emptiness in his eyes.

Sasuke said, "Why don't you blame for your detention!" Naruto turned around and said, "I was glad to get detention, I didn't have to deal with Shikamaru because of it."

Sasuke grabbed Naruto by his arm and said, "I'm walking you home, I don't want them to come after you on your way home...", said Sasuke. Naruto shrugged and they walked to Naruto's apartment.

They said little to each other on their way there. Then they arrived to find a suprise.

Naruto's home was on fire.

Quickly Sasuke went for help, only to find that Naruto had ran inside. "That baka!", Thought Sasuke furiously, "if he gets himself killed I'll... I'll..." Sasuke ran in after Naruto. The fire engulfed both of them. Sasuke found Naruto clutching a dusty old album in the middle of the fire. Sasuke hurriedly pulled him out.

By the time Sasuke had pulled Naruto out of the burning building, the fire dept. had arrived. It took them mere minutes to put out the remaining flames. Sasuke turned to Naruto, "What were you thinking baka!" Naruto still had an empty look on his face, whether from shock or calm, Sasuke couldn't tell.

Sasuke looked up at the remains of Naruto's home. He could see it would be unlivable for some time. He went up to the nearest payphone. "Hey mom, yeah it's Sasuke, would you mind a guest for a few months?", said Sasuke , "No his house was just burned down, yeah I know, of course, I don't think he has any parents, Ok, bye." He then turned to Naruto, "You'll be staying with us for awhile." Naruto looked down and broke into a sob. Sasuke pulled him up and walked him to his home. He knew who had done it and he would get revenge...
