Author's Note: Ooookay...I really don't know where this idea came from. XD All I know is that I was playing a Final Fantasy game (not telling which one it was! :P) when this idea just came to mind all of a sudden! O.o
Heh...but I am kind of glad it did. I quickly turned off the game and pretty much frantically pulled out my laptop to begin typing; because the story idea was SO tempting to do! Look, it might not be one of my best...but I HAD to go through with this idea! After all, it's so interesting to think about what the Naruto characters might think of fanfiction...since fanfiction is full of unspeakable horrors! XD
I know I have other stories to update. And you know what? I WILL find the time to post new chapters to my other stories still going, AND this one. Believe me, when I'm determined to do something, I try to finish it through and through!
Anyway, there's various random pairings in here. It's rated M for the content that the characters come across in the fanfictions they check out, and for...well, you'll figure out why it's rated M! Also some strong language at times.
Some of the fanfiction that characters come across were randomly thought up by me; don't freak out if by some dumb chance they're exactly like other author's fics. -_- If that does happen, it WASN'T intentional.
OH! And I'd say this is an AU story, but not completely AU; it takes place within the canon plot of course, but it doesn't really follow it much. It's...ugh...I can't explain it. T.T
Well, I hope this story's fine; any feedback is appreciated, but what I could use is some TRUE constructive criticism; so I can ACTUALLY IMPROVE! :)
Disclaimer: I wish I owned the anime/manga series, Naruto, and all. But I DON'T; Masashi Kishimoto does, okay?

The Many Horrors Of Fanfiction!:
Chapter One: It Begins!
There are some very horrifying things in the world. Some things much to horrible to even speak of. When being a shinobi, things can get pretty rough and stunning when lives are put on the line, and witnessing comrades dying. Or even dying a very agonizing and gory death while the enemy watches in pleasure.
However.
There is something much more worse: it's a territory that some never even dare to enter. It's a sight that may scar whoever sees it for life. It's something that could leave one forever traumatized. It attempts to seduce one with it's attractive bait, but once one makes the chancing move and looks at it...it's all over; and the eyes were just stripped of their virginity. But what IS this traumatizing horror?
Fanfiction.
Fanfiction; something completely unpredictable and utterly stunning. The lives of shinobi will never be the same after discovering this horror of fanfiction!
However the question is, WHO will be the first to discover the horrors of fanfiction?

-The Hidden Leaf 3:55 PM-
"Damn it, Sasuke! What the hell do you have in this suitcase?" Naruto hissed as he struggled to drag a REALLY heavy suitcase over to Sasuke Uchiha's old home. Sasuke was right behind him carrying some of his weapons and rolled his eyes. "I thought you didn't carry ANYTHING with you when you left to go to Orochimaru!"
Although Sasuke had left the village a long time ago, everyone was able to convince him to return back to the village by torture: Naruto simply tied him to a chair with the help of Sai, and then they both got Sakura and Ino to transform into really hot bishonen guys and fake a yaoi sex scene (which they were HAPPY to do; because they loved yaoi). After Sasuke had suffered through two hours of mindless 'sex' by the 'hot bishonen' guys, he couldn't take it anymore and screamed in agony before mentioning to Naruto and Sai that destroying the Leaf WASN'T worth that torture. He willingly gave up trying to destroy the village and went home with the four.
At first, Naruto was stunned to find out that Sasuke couldn't stand yaoi; all those years...Naruto assumed that the Uchiha was gay! It was Sakura that came up with the idea of using an illusion of yaoi to bring him back, Naruto was against it at first, but went with it anyway.
Still, the fact that Sasuke Uchiha was straight...it was unbelievable! Even as they returned back to the village that same day and were heading to his old home, Naruto still couldn't believe that his power-obsessed bastard of a friend was straight. As he took a quick glance back at Sasuke, he noted that he would still refuse to believe that he was straight without pure proof!
"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked; he wasn't paying attention because he had been trying to get the mental yaoi image that was burned into his mind out.
"I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS FREAKING 100,000 lbs SUITCASE!" Naruto snapped as sweat poured down his body. He grunted and continued to try and drag along the suitcase, all while glaring at Sasuke.
"Oh, that's just my hair products." Sasuke replied as if he was talking about something really dull.
"WHAT?"
"Well, I may be evil...but I can't risk looking like a slob."
Naruto's eyes widened when realization hit him and he facepalmed before ditching the suitcase all together.
"You mean, I've been dragging goddamn HAIR PRODUCTS for over over 13,000 miles?" Naruto yelled in shock as Sasuke shrugged his shoulders.
"Naruto, just shut up. We're here anyway, aren't we?" Sasuke pointed out; literally gesturing to the building.
"...Fine. But you know, I'm going to someday get back at you for making me drag that stuff without even knowing it was that worthless!" Naruto mentioned; furrowing his eyebrows together and then pretty much throwing the suitcase over to Sasuke.
"I have no doubt." Sasuke muttered. He then turned to look at the building and sighed dramatically. It had been a while since he'd seen his old home; and almost forgot how it even looked. "So...that's it."
"Yeah, this is the place. Back when that Pein guy attacked the village, the area, I THINK it was this area, I can't remember anyway, got pretty messed up." Naruto mentioned before looking back at the ground.
"Yeah. And...what happened after that attack anyway?" Sasuke suddenly asked.
"Oh, the village was somehow put back to normal, all the people who got killed were revived, and then me and Iruka-Sensei celebrated the next day by getting a strawberry smoothie!" Naruto replied; smiling as he remembered how delicious strawberry smoothie tasted.
Sasuke just blinked as a "WTF?" expression appeared on his face. It wasn't because he didn't know what smoothies were, it was because he never knew that Naruto or Iruka liked the strawberry flavor; he , himself, hated strawberry...especially the sugary kind.

-Sasuke's Old Home 4:03 PM-
Naruto grunted and struggled to drag Sasuke's suitcase into the house; he knew that when we was through lugging around his friend's "important" hair products, he would have to go soak in the hot spring and then wring Sasuke's neck!
Really, he didn't know how he ended up being the one who had to drag the damn suitcase; Sasuke just kind of threw it at him after they untied him and he declared that being evil wasn't worth the yaoi torture (and Naruto STILL refused to believe Sasuke was straight even after that).
"Ugh! Finally! Home at LAST!" Naruto pretty much shouted hysterically before crying anime tears and throwing the suitcase behind his back.
And unfortunately for Sasuke, he opened the door and stepped into the house just as Naruto threw the suitcase; and at a sudden speed, the suitcase flew at him and hit him perfectly in the crotch.
"Home! I'm so glad-"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"-It took a really long time!"
"Naruto! Are you even aware of-augh..."
"Home...safe and sound~!
"Naruto...ugh..."
Naruto sighed, unaware of the fact that Sasuke was on the floor in extreme pain, he rubbed his arms and collected himself.
"Well! Now that you're finally back and all..." Naruto cut himself off as he glanced over at Sasuke and flinched as he noticed him. "Of fu-"
"NARUTO!"
Normally, Naruto would have probably ran after something like that happened. He learned from past experiences; he could somehow screw up almost everything he did. And when that happened, running was the best thing to do!
"Now that WASN'T my fault!" Naruto protested as he held his hands up. Sasuke got up a little off the floor and glared at him. And, feeling creeped out, Naruto backed away slowly. "If you weren't so obsessed with your emo look; I wouldn't have had to lug that suitcase, and you wouldn't be in extreme pain on the really dirty floor!"
Sasuke, still in pain, just continued to glare. He would have activated his Sharingan at that point, but he just felt a little too exhausted at that point.
[XXXXX]
-10 Minutes Later-
The pain finally subsiding, Sasuke got up off the floor and gave a nervous Naruto a good punch to the back of his head before angrily kicking the suitcase off to the side. And, still pissed off, he wanted to really torture Naruto in a powerful and agonizing genjutsu.
Somehow afterward, things kind of calmed down. And Naruto and Sasuke sighed as they closely examined the living room; they hadn't noticed the way it looked when they first entered. And it was pretty much safe to say that:
The house looked like hell.
"...Wow." Naruto muttered under his breath taking in the sight: from what he noticed, dust was everywhere, cobwebs were pretty much from the ceiling to the floor and the doorways, neglected dirty furniture was scattered around the room, and strangely, there was a photo of a 10 year old Itachi on the floor with the glass broken. "Er...it really has been a while, huh Sasuke?"
"It sure does look a lot filthier." Sasuke commented; Naruto looked blank suddenly when he wondered if Sasuke was thinking angsty thoughts or something.
"Sasuke, what are we going to do? You can't live in THIS." Naruto pointed out; gesturing to the wreak of a home that once belonged to Sasuke's parents.
"Tell me something I don't know. It looks horrible..." Sasuke mentioned after sighing. "Maybe we can get Tsunade to send someone over here to clean it-"
"No. Granny's such a bitch without her precious sake to keep her world in balance." Naruto replied in a monotone. "She ran out of her huge supply two weeks ago; and it's NOT a good idea to talk to her now until Shizune can import more from other nations!"
"...Okay, that really sucks."
"I know! I hope Sakura never gets that obsessed with alcohol and-"
"If I'm going to return back to the village, I'll need somewhere to live. We are just going to have to clean the entire place ourselves." Sasuke said; tuning out to what Naruto was absentmindedly ranting. After hearing what he just said, however, Naruto stopped ranting and stared in surprise.
"WE?" Naruto hysterically shouted. "It's your home! Or well, it WAS, but...technically it's yours since the entire clan is dead!"
"I know. But you don't understand; I'll need your help." Sasuke pointed out before smirking very slightly; Naruto looked blank when he noticed the smirk, it almost seemed as if he was planning something.
"...Er...we're still talking about the HOUSE, right?" Naruto asked warily before stumbling back against a table.
"What did you think I was talking about?"
"N-nothing. Nothing at all..." Naruto mumbled; rubbing the back of his neck and trying to fight back a blush.
Even though it was completely obvious as to what Naruto thought he met, Sasuke was oblivious to that and shrugged his shoulders before walking over to the broken picture on the floor he hadn't noticed yet. Looking at it, Sasuke noted that it was a picture of Itachi when he was 10 years old.
"Hey, why are you holding a picture of your brother?" Naruto suddenly mentioned while smiling. Sasuke's eyes widened when he noticed Naruto had appeared by his side quite fast and gasped just a little bit.
Because no matter what, Uchiha. Did. Not. Gasp.
"I found it on the floor. It must be some kind of sign; because the glass inside the frame is broken." Sasuke replied; Naruto noticed the sudden look in his eyes and quickly grabbed the picture from him and smiled while staring at it.
"Aw! He looks so cute here!" Naruto mentioned in a sudden peppy voice. When realization came over him, a deadpan expression suddenly was on his face as he started talking in a monotone. "Eh...the guy's dead anyway."
With that said, Naruto carelessly threw the picture behind him, it smashed against the dusty wall and got trapped in a spider web. Sasuke stared blankly the whole time, but flinched when he noticed a HUGE spider crawl onto the picture.
And somewhere beyond the grave, Fugaku Uchiha rolled his eyes.
[XXXXX]
-30 Minutes Later-
Naruto finally accepted the fact that Sasuke wanted him to help clean out the entire house. Still, he did question WHY it had to be him; there were several other people he could have gotten to help him! It wasn't like Naruto was his servant or something.
Or, was he in Sasuke's point of view?
Shaking his head, the 17 and a half year old blond just went back to what he was doing. They had been at cleaning the place for 20 minutes, and 10 minutes after that; Naruto kind of ditched Sasuke in the kitchen and started snooping through the freaking heavy suitcase of "hair products".
Just to see if he kept anything INTERESTING in there...
"Hey, that's a laptop!"
And, in fact, Naruto was right! There was a laptop in that suitcase; underneath all the mess of hair products. He eagerly reached in and pulled it out; and discovered that it was black and in pretty good shape.
"I wonder what's on it..." Naruto stopped talking and grinned evilly as an idea came to mind: he could snoop around on the laptop and see what stuff was on there! Then maybe he could find out if Sasuke was really gay or not! "What the hell am I WAITING for? Time's wasting!"
Quickly and very frantically, Naruto opened up the laptop and turned it on. As he waited for it to go to the desktop; he noticed that it was an Acerlaptop. Now really eager, Naruto set it down on the floor and grabbed one of the old dusty couches that was in the living room and put it back up. Then, he grabbed the laptop and sat down on the couch with it in his lap; but he did sneeze a little when the dust got to him.
"COME ON! HURRY! DON'T FAIL ME NOW!" Naruto thought. It was very obvious that he was getting WAY too anxious at that moment.
Unfortunately, the wallpaper didn't come up. Instead, something came up and told him to enter the password. This annoyed him and he rolled his eyes.
"Oh c'mon! Really Sasuke, it's not like you ever had to worry about someone snooping around on your laptop!" Naruto yelled; unaware of the fact that Sasuke was in the next room and could hear him.
"What? What did you just say? I'm running the faucet to clean out the strangely-colored sink!"
"Nothing! I didn't say anything because...I'm ah...d-dusting the walls in here!"
Sasuke didn't respond. That was a good sign to Naruto. After sighing with relief, he started typing the first thing that came to mind, which he randomly guessed to be the password: "Sexy Naruto". When the computer accepted that and proceeded to go to the desktop...
Naruto's jaw dropped.
After sitting for about ten seconds, Naruto closed his mouth just as the computer went to the desktop. However, it was a little disappointing when he went to the desktop; because it just had a picture of the Uchiha crest. Still, he didn't want to end his snooping so soon.
"Let's see...maybe there's some pictures and videos in here..."
Upon sticking his finger onto the panel thing that acted as the mouse (...Sorry, I might have screwed that up. I never use that on MY laptop; I use the mouse. And plus, I never even owned an Acer laptop before; mine's an Apple!) the arrow on the screen went around and settled on some folders. He clicked the folder and it brought up some pictures.
Of course, the pictures were a little too small to see. So Naruto randomly clicked on one to bring it up and enlarge it. Naruto's jaw kind of dropped again and hung there almost defying gravity as he gawked at the picture.
There, in all it's horror, was an apparently secretly taken picture of that bitchy red-haired girl, Karin, strangling some guy with white hair wearing a purple shirt that was apparently trying to laugh while holding a pair of glasses in the air. But the shocking/scary thing was: Karin was scantily clad in a very short fluffy towel.
"...I think I just lost some my eyesight." Naruto muttered before gagging and clicking off the picture.
Deciding that he would snoop around for pictures LATER, Naruto moved the arrow down to the 'E' icon and clicked it. Normally, he wouldn't have questioned something like that, but he suddenly found himself wondering why there was an 'E' when "internet" was spelled with an 'I'.
After around eleven minutes later in the kitchen, Sasuke sighed as he noticed that the odd color in the sink was FINALLY washing away; he didn't know that a sink could look so freakin' horrifying after years of being deserted! And somehow, he didn't want to know how that was even possible. The Uchiha reached over and turned off the faucet before turning around and examining the kitchen.
One thing was for sure, he had been gone much longer than he thought. Because it looked just as bad as the living room, and god knows how the other rooms in the large home might look! But, he then noted the good details: he had Naruto there to help him.
In more ways than one of course, but he quickly dismissed those thoughts as he walked over to the screen and slid it open before walking back into the living room. When he entered the living room, he blinked when he noticed Naruto on the old dusty couch with his laptop.
"Naruto, what are you doing?" Sasuke questioned. He walked over to Naruto as he looked up and smiled. But he didn't get a reply from him, so he just walked behind him and leaned over his shoulder to look at the screen. "...Fanfiction? What the hell is that?"
"I don't know." Naruto confessed while frowning. He noticed that Sasuke was pretty much resting his head on his shoulder to look at the screen and he shifted slightly from the sudden closeness between them. "Uh... I overheard Kakashi-Sensei and Iruka-Sensei talking about it five days ago. They were saying something about 'a hot girl on girl action fanfic' before I walked up."
"So...what is fanfiction?" Sasuke asked again. He was getting irritated by how Naruto wouldn't come out and answer the question.
"Well, I decided to be blunt ask them what the hell they were talking about. Iruka-Sensei said that fanfiction is where people who are fans of various shows/books/games/ect, can write fiction about the characters in whatever situations they want. It sounded REALLY cool!" Naruto replied. "And from what Kakashi-Sensei said, fanfiction has gained much attention throughout the nations since we finally realized the internet existed! Even people here in the village writes about different things! I really wanted to check it out, but that was when me, Sai, Sakura, and Ino all went out to bring you back."
It took a few seconds to register all that Sasuke said in his mind, and he was a little lost. But still, this "fanfiction" did seem pretty cool! In fact, he was starting to get interested in the concept of it. He thought for a minute and then looked back at the screen.
"I think I get it now. So...is this a website that it's published on?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah. I don't know it's name; never really looked into it." Naruto mumbled. He gestured to the screen and smirked. "Well, let's read some fanfiction!"
"Yes, let's do it. But then, you're going to have to help me clean up this place..." Sasuke replied while looking blank once again.
Naruto rolled his eyes at that and then looked back at the screen. He hovered over a link to a various fanfic and then clicked it. Both ninja waited patiently, and then the story came up...in all it's horror.
Unfortunately, Naruto and Sasuke weren't aware that things were about to get pretty crazy for them. And after discovering this "fanfiction", they would never be able to see the people they knew in the same way ever again! When entering the unpredictable world of fanfiction, ANYTHING could happen!
Continued.

Well, there you have it: this odd fic. ^_^ Look, I know this probably isn't my best, but like I said before: I COULDN'T get this idea out of my mind! It wouldn't leave me alone, and for the record: the idea came to me LAST NIGHT. I just got around to posting it today. -_-
Anyway, I hope this story will get some attention, and maybe some reviews. But like I said, it's probably not all that good...
This first chapter probably wasn't all that funny; but there will be some funny parts coming up. Along with Naruto and Sasuke's first looks into the world of...FANFICTION! *Insert a random scream of horror here* Since this is slightly AU, some characters that are assumed "dead" are alive in here and will randomly make a few appearances.
Incase you didn't get it, (I'm assuming the hints are obvious) there's a little bit of NaruSasu kind of mixed in here. I don't support that pairing, however, it's SO obvious that it's bound to happen by the end of the series. And there's quite a lot of supporters (why? I mean, let me tell you a good Naruto yaoi pairing: NarutoxGaara! *Winks* But I don't actually support that either. ^^; ). I think I threw this in, because I have a pretty good feeling that it's gonna happen.
Well anyway, let me say this too: the updates for this story should be completely random at the moment. College tends to take up a lot of time for me. -.- I still will try to not leave anyone hanging too long!
Read and review! :)
