"Ne, ne, you better hurry and go hide" The blonde boy said, handing the bread to the small girl. She nodded.

"Tank you misteh" She said, running off. Naruto waved and turned just in time to see the manager of the store that he had just 'shopped' at barge out, screaming colorful words at him. Naruto smiled and waved before he started to run.

"Somebody stop that damn whore!" The old man said. The blonde's face fell at that. So what if it was true, he couldn't help it, and it still hurt, dammit. He started running faster as three of the workers chased after him. He was tired and he knew that they had a good chance to catch up with him if he didn't do something. Thinking quick, he plunged into the sea of people that were populating Downtown Konoha. He turned his head, azure eyes searching for the angry men, and ran smack dab into someone. They both went flying towards the ground, naruto falling ontop of the other boy. His bare knees scraped against the ground, sending pain up and down his legs. He ignored it, jumping up off the boy.

"Ah..s..sorry" He said before falling down as pain shot up his legs once more. He pulled his knees towards him, blowing lightly, trying to help the burning go away. He heard the other boy sigh, staring him up and down. He stood and turned, which kinda hurt. Naruto looked down to the ground. He didn't have to be so mean, he could've at least made sure he was okay. His eyes started tearing up. He wasn't surprised, but that didn't make it any less painful.

"Come on, my house is just around the corner, we'll get your knee fixed up there". Naruto looked up shocked at the boy who was kneeling down infront of him. He turned giving him that 'what are you waiting for' look, before the blonde scrambled up on the stranger's back. He wasn't sure what to say. This boy was being nice, even offering to take him home and help him. Naruto had never been invited to someone else's home. No one ever noticed him, he was invisble to everyone other than horny old men. He always acted like a fool, making big scenes and pulling pranks, making alot of people annoyed with him. But to him that didn't matter, wether it was in a good way or not, he just wanted to be seen, not ignored. His shook the thoughts out of his head as they approached a huge mansion type house. Naruto's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Is this really where you live?!" He asked, amazed. The other boy smirked but he didn't notice. The dark haired boy nodded, unlocking the door and pushing it open. He sat naruto down before disapearing into the bathroom. The blonde's eyes scanned over some of the pictures. IT had a happy looking family in them. A mom, dad, and two boys. Naruto figured the older boy had to be the boy's brother. He wondered where the family was, this house was too quiet. The other boy came back, a white box in his hand. He poured some liquid on a cotton ball and went to put it on his knee before the blonde flinched, a small whimper escaping his mouth. He didn't like pain, and every experience like this he had ever had resulted in pain.

"Calm down, It's not going to hurt" The other boy said. He cleaned the cut swiftly, causing it to bubble up, but it didn't hurt. He felt like an idiot.

"Thank you..." He said, pausing after that, hoping the other would give him a name.

"Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha." The raven haired boy said. Naruto smiled.

"It's nice to meet you Sasuke-san, I'm Naruto Uzumaki" He said. He remembered the raven haired boy from school, but he had never talked to him before.

"Would you like something to eat Naruto-kun?" Sasuke asked, walking into the kitchen. Naruto was about to shake his head, not wanting to impose, but god he was hungry. He nodded meakly.

"Sure" He watched as he disapeared into the kitchen, reappearing with a plate of freshly sliced apples. Naruto felt his mouth water. He loved apples so much, but he never ate fresh ones..not unless he 'borrowed' them. He watched as the uchiha sat down and waited for him to take a bite. He could almost hear Ino's voice. 'Remember naru-chan, you have to wait until the others are done eating before you can, or else they'll get mad. I don't want them to hit you, so be sure to remember..'.

"Go ahead, they're for you" Sasuke said, staring at him expectantly. Naruto blushed, feeling stupid. He almost forgot that he was with sasuke, not at work. Speaking of work..he'd been out so long, Oro-sama was going to be mad.

"So..sorry...I'm so used to having to wait until my masters or clients eat until I can have some." He sai, taking a bite. His eyes lit up and he ate them all, savoring every last one. He could of swore he heard the uchiha boy chuckle, but passed it off. The aforementioned boy took th clean plate and went back to the kitchen, leaving naruto alone. It was kind of weird, but he didn't care. All he could think about was how tired he was, and how comfy the couch was. He leaned over, muttering something about five minutes.
