Hey everyone,

Before you ask, don't worry. I already have a few chapters written, so for now, it's not going to keep me from updating my other stories. I have two other new stories, but I will only be publishing them once some of my current ones are completed.

Anyway, this is a SasuNaru, with some other pairings as well. It's a little darker than my usual stories, but I hope you like it. Beware, it is twisted. Now, if you don't like it, let me know. I don't want to be writing something no one wants to read.

Enjoy.

Chapter 1, " Sinister"

You could say he had always slept with one eye open. He knew the buzz of the crickets by hard. He knew which tree in his garden, would make what sound when the wind gusted. The slightest disturbance in the symphony of the night was enough to alert him.

That night, at zero o'clock, he suddenly jolted out of bed. With a steady hand, he pulled his stun gun out of it's hiding. He turned on his plasma screen, and watched carefully the surveillance channel trying to figure out where the intruder was. That unlike fellow was messing with the wrong homeowner.

He walked up to the mirror and adjusted the stray hairs. He didn't need to change from his bed wear since he always slept ready. He only needed to freshen up. He sprayed some cologne, before heading for the door.

The Uchiha walked the corridors leisurely. He knew where the thief where heading for. He could get there blind folded. A smirk made its way to his face when he thought about the idiot who though he could beat Sasuke at a maze he designed himself.

In fact, excitement was the reason he never secured the outside of his mansion. Anyone could get in. After all, you don't close the door of to mouse trap, do you?

Once he was outside his office, Sasuke stood back against the wall, waiting for the burglar to come out so he could zap him. He could hear the burglar bumping into his precious belongings. He hissed, thinking that at least fate should have sent him an adequate challenge. A clumsy thief? Boring. He then hissed once more concerned about his chaos he would be caught tidying.

"Ouch!"

'Oh God,' Sasuke frowned. He was getting an undeniable urge to barge in and give that idiot a lesson in how to be inconspicuous. What kind of person would be that noisy breaking in? He mocked internally.

Inside the study, Naruto was gagging and choking on his rain soaked polyester sock. He was realizing that it was probably not a smart idea not to cut a hole for his mouth or nose, especially since it was raining.

"Ahh!" he winced when his thigh bumped against the sharp edge of the desk. He moved his flashlight down to take a look, and saw a gashing wound. "Fuck, is that desk made of razors?"

He looked closer and noticed little sharp pins protruding all over the sides of the wood. His eyebrows rose about the odd choice of furniture, before the sight of a safe distracted him.

He adjusted the black gloves, before walking over to the metal fortress. He reached his hand out, and with the simplest touch it opened.

"Lucky," he whispered. "What kind of person doesn't lock his safe," he mocked.

A big smile covered his face as he pulled out stacks of money. He let out a small evil laugh, until he pulled a weird golden gadget out. He stared at it for a while, wondering what it might be.

"Is that a button?" He blacked out as soon as he touched pressed the side button.

The raven froze, not hearing any more vases roll or chairs knocked over. He closed his eyes sighing, "he couldn't…"

Warily, the Uchiha crept in, only to see the thief face planted onto the floor, with his ass in the air. He pursed his lips before putting the taser back into his pocket. He had no use for it anymore.

"A blond," he hissed.

XXXXXX

Sapphire eyes fluttered. Naruto felt all his body ache, especially his head. A throbbing headache was making it impossible to think. He opened his eyes, and saw a man sitting right in front of him.

"Where am I?" Naruto struggled to find his voice.

"In the house you were robbing."

Naruto swallowed. Did he get caught? He wondered. "I-I'm sorry," he stuttered.

"You're sorry?"

"I am!"

Sasuke stapled his fingers together before leaning forward. "Why are you sorry?"

Naruto blinked a few times, still not quite himself. "Is that a trick question?" He pulled at his tied arms with no avail.

"What happened between now and twenty minutes ago when you were stealing, that makes you sorry?"

"I… got caught?"

"So you're sorry you got caught, not because you were-"

"I don't know what to tell you! I'm sorry! Please don't turn me in."

"You're being rude," Sasuke lowered his voice, speaking intimately. "Don't raise your voice."

Naruto threw his head back. Off course the first time he decided to steal, he would end up getting caught by a pyscho. It was typical of him and his luck, he whined internally.

He faked a polite smile, "I was just wondering what you're planning to do? Did you call the police?"

"If I did, they would have already arrived."

"I see," Naruto swallowed looking away nervously. "My name is Naruto. I have sixteen brothers and sisters. I like to eat ramen. When I was five I feel down, and-"

"Are you trying to make me see you as a human?" Sasuke smirked. "You have sixteen brothers and sisters? How come?"

"Orphanage."

"Do you live there?"

"No…"

"How old are they? Are you the oldest?"

"Yeah…" Naruto answered hesitantly.

Sasuke smiled, "So you are basically telling me, you won't be missed except by a bunch of kids?"

Naruto choked, "No! No! No! I told many many many people I will be here. So, they'll come asking for me!"

"Oh, they'll admit they knew you were coming here to steal and didn't report you?"

Naruto choked on the words again, "Y-yeah. They love me this much."

"Naruto, right?"

"Yeah. That's my name. Naruto," He said as quickly as a machine gun.

"If I call the police now you'll be charged with grand larceny, plus breaking and entering. You'll get at least seven years prison."

Naruto shifted in his seat, his hands behind his back still trying to free themselves.

"So, I'll give you three options. The first, I call the police."

Naruto shook his head no, breathing heavier by the second.

"You don't like that one?"

"No…"

"Then, you'll like this option; we'll play a little game with each other. If you win, you can go free."

Naruto rocked his chair trying to free himself from the chains.

"Isn't no use-"

"Help! Help! Help!"

Sasuke relaxed back into his chair, a little irritated from the noise. "Idiot-"

"Help! Help! Help!"

"Shut up you idiot, or I'll fucking stuff your cock in your mouth!" Sasuke snapped.

Naruto froze, "S-sorry."

"Shut up!" He hated noise. He hated noise, enough to repeated twice mentally. "Why did you choose my place?"

"…"

"Speak!"

"Didn't you say shut up?"

Sasuke glared daggers at him, looking as if he was about to go insane and start stabbing the blond head with a dull pocketknife. "You chose it because it was in the middle of nowhere. So, no one is there to hear you scream. You're best bet is to listen to my options."

"Fuck you! I'm screwed anyway."

"You're screwed because you chose to steal a house without checking it was empty. You're screwed because you didn't even manage to be quiet about it. And even if you weren't caught then, you would have been screwed cause you left your muddy footprints are all over the house. Word of advice, act like a polite sane hostage, or you'll be screwed even more."

The blond was speechless, but still managed to shout out, "Get off my case! I'm new to this! I just needed the money."

"Are you passing the second option?"

"Whatever!"

"…"

"…"

The Uzumaki then took a deep breath before asking, "What game is it?"

"I'll choose one where you don't have to use your brain much. I guess you hate using it."

Naruto growled, "and what if I lose?"

Sasuke's silence was enough for an answer. Naruto shut his eyes tightly, wishing the pain would just go away. Wishing to wake up from the nightmare. "The third option?"

"I'll just untie you, and you can go home…"

"Really?"

"Yeah. If you make it out of this house alive."

"Three! Option three!"

"Are you sure?" Sasuke sighed.

"Are you going to chase after me with a hatchet?"

"No."

"Then, yeah, untie me!"

Sasuke let out a deep breath before going over to Naruto. As he unlocked lock to the chains, he whispered, "You can walk anywhere, but don't go into the hallway with the crow statues."

"Why not?"

"You don't need to know."

Naruto rubbed his sore wrists, as he narrowed his eyes until they were slits. Maybe that psycho was trying to divert him from the right way. Maybe he should go through the hallway to get out, he thought.

"Go," the raven shooed him away.
