disclaimer- i don't own naruto

this is my first time writing a fanfic so please be nice to me!

A young man with messy blonde hair and dull blue eyes, walked shakily and stumbling over his bare feet. He was breathing hard and had a soft red hue running across his cheeks, saying he had a fever. His left arm holding his broken right, blue eyes shining with pain. He stumbled and fell, too weak and sick to catch himself. He laid there and didn't even try to get back up. The blonde closed his eyes, falling unconscious on the hard cold side walk.

Sasuke Uchiha was a well off police detective; he was famous for his observation skills and his calm cold attitude. He was working late on his new case, it was actually a cold case, he was told to look in to.

12 years ago a 7 year old boy was kidnapped. His parents were high up government officials. They had guessed the kid was taken because of his family's money but there was never a ransom. The kid just disappeared.

Because of his parent's status it was a national top story, it was on the news everyday. Everyone was talking about it. Everyone wanted to help find the missing child, but 6 months after the boy went missing his parents died in a car accident.

Sasuke knew the boy was probably dead but there was still a chance that he was alive. Sasuke droved down the road.

Sasuke noticed something, it was dark, but with his headlights he saw someone lying on the sidewalk just in front of his car. At first he thought it was just some drunk, but when he got closer, he saw blood. He pulled over and walked toward the limp body and kneeled down on one knee and pressed 2 fingers on the body's neck.

He felt a pulse.

Sasuke slowly turned the body so he was lying on his back. It was a boy with dirty blonde hair. His face was covered in cuts and bruises new and old. The boy also had an ugly gash on his forehead, blood still dripping out sliding down his face. Sasuke also saw 3 strange scars on each side of his cheeks almost looking like whiskers.

Also noticing the kid's right arm was in an odd angle and bruised. He touched the blonde's left arm feeling how cold he was. It was the beginning of winter and this kid was just wearing a dirty, bloody ripped T shirt and ripped faded jeans. Sasuke decided he will bring the kid home and talk to him tomorrow.

The raven gently and careful of the kid's arm picked him up bridal style to his car. He awkwardly opened one the car's side doors and carefully setting the child in his back seat lying down. He also grabbed the blanket he kept in his trunk and placed it on top of the boy to try to warm the kid up.

His apartment was about 10 minutes from there. Sasuke thought maybe the blonde was a mugged victim or a runaway.

He really felt bad for the kid and that by its self was unusual.

Sasuke opened his door and turned on the lights then he laid the boy on the couch gently. The Uchiha then went to his bathroom to get a small towel and bandages, then to his kitchen area to get a bowl of water. Sasuke set the bowl on the coffee table soaking the towel in the water. Then folding it and laid it on the very warm forehead. He cleaned the blonde's gash and then he put on a bandage on the wound. He also cleaned his face and arms then wrapping them in bandages. When he was done it was almost dawn and Sasuke thought it would be a good idea to get a least a couple hours sleep. He sat in the lounge chair right next to the couch, exhausted and quickly falling asleep.

The blonde slowly opened his eyes, he remembered falling then everything went black. He smiled to himself, he was finally free.

His plan actually worked.

The boy sat up and found himself on a couch, he was in somebody's house the blonde spotted a man sleeping in the lunge chair next to him. He also noticed his injuries were covered in bandages, but his arm was still hurting a lot. He slowly got up taking a moment gain his balance. The blonde wanted to thank the man for helping him and taking care of his wounds. But he needed to find his family and the boy didn't want to burden the man. The boy made his way to the door.

The boy made his way to the door.

"Where do you think you're going?"

A voice asked from behind him. He turned around seeing the man that was sleeping in the chair.

"I-I need to go home." The boy said as he turned around to grab the knob with his good hand.

" thanks for everything but I need to go now," his voice a little hoarse from not using it in a while. He started to turn the knob but a hand grabbed his wrist stopping him from opening the door.

Fear filled the boy's entire body. He thought the man had saved him because he was nice and caring but maybe he will never let him leave? He'll be like all the others.

Sasuke let go of his wrist seeing how the kid got so scared all of the sudden. He didn't mean to scare him. The blonde hurriedly stepped away from him with scared wide blue eyes, the most clearest deep blue eyes Sasuke had ever saw. He quickly and gracefully pulled out his badge and flipped it open holding it up so the boy could see it.

"You don't have to be scared, I won't hurt you," he said "I'm with the police."

That seemed to relax the boy a little bit more,

"Police?" the whiskered boy asked unsurely. Sasuke nodded.

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, can you tell me your name?" the raven said gently, to not scare him again.

"u-um " the boy stuttered out, It's been a long time sense anyone said his real name. The blonde tried to remember.

"n-nar-Naruto…" Sasuke's head shot up, that was the boy's name that went missing 12 years ago. "Namikaze, I think."

The boy stared at the man waiting for him to say something.

"Hey it's going to be okay now, Naruto," he said as he led the boy down the hall. He stopped at where his bedroom was, " Stay here," Sasuke stated, as he went in the room getting Naruto some new clothes that he thought might fit the shorter boy. The raven then walked him to his bathroom, setting the clothes on the sink counter. The boy followed him in.

"I'll make breakfast, while you wash up," he said as Naruto nodded in understanding.

After breakfast, Sasuke went back into his room himself getting dressed and getting some shoes for the blonde.

"Here," he said handing Naruto a pair of old looking sneakers and some socks. " let's go," he said walking to the door, Naruto followed.

"Where we going?" the blonde asked,

"the police station,"

Naruto nodded as Sasuke led him down the hall to the elevator,

and watched nervously as the raven pushed the button the doors opened.

Sasuke gently pulled the blonde inside, and pressed the lobby button.

He looked down to see Naruto shaking slightly and closing his eyes tightly. Naruto really didn't like being in small closed off spaces. "it's okay it will be over soon." He said to the boy as the doors opened.

Sasuke led him to the front doors of the fancy apartment building. Stepping outside, then Naruto froze.

Sasuke looked down concerned.

"Naruto wha-"

"It's so pretty!" Naruto yelled out as he ran to the small front yard of the building. There was a small flower bed but because of the cold weather all the flowers were dead so Sasuke didn't get what was so pretty to the blonde.

He walked toward him putting his hands in his jacket pockets. Watching Naruto rubbing his good hand against the browning grass in wonderment.

Then looked at the dead flowers sadly reaching out his hand to touch them but when the boy was just about to apart of the flower broke off falling to the soil. Sasuke bent down, " What's wrong?" he asked

"There dead,"

"Yes but that's what happens when it's cold outside, but they'll come back in the spring."

Naruto nodded as the raven helped him up walking him to his car.

"We need to go to the clinic to get that arm of yours fixed up, before we go to the police station." The raven said as he buckled Naruto's seatbelt and shut the door for him then he got in the driver's side, Naruto beside him riding shotgun.

"But I don't like doctors they're mean." The blonde pouted as he stared out the window watching the other cars and buildings buzz by.

At the clinic, Naruto wouldn't let any of the nurses or doctors touch him. He kept hiding behind Sasuke. Until he told the blonde that he wouldn't let anyone hurt him and they are trying to help him not hurt him, after he said that Naruto let them x ray his arm and put a cast on it. Then Sasuke left with him not saying another word. He didn't want some loud mouth nurse to tell anyone that the missing child from 12 years ago was now found.

He didn't want it to be so public yet.

i hope you liked it and please review!
