Break me

Chapter 22

Naruto's POV

"The date of your parents anniversary is coming." Kakashi reminds me. I ask him,"And what is there to do? I never forget." Kakashi says,"Let me break it to you. Mrs. Uchiha wants us in their house."

I frown and turn to face him. He says right after seeing my reaction,"Before you say anything, I'm saying that they aren't forcing you to go back. It's just they want to do something little to show respect to your dead parents."

I ask him,"Is this some kind of show they want to pull off after so many days?" Kakashi says shrugging,"I don't know but the only way to find out about it is to go there by ourselves."

"What if this is just a trap?" I ask him. Kakashi replies,"Why would they try to push you into some trap? You've got nothing now." I tell him,"Maybe this is just to make Sasuke and Itachi to go back." Kakashi says,"Isn't this what you want?" I shut my mouth. Yeah that is what I want.

Coming to the school, I realized there's some new rumour going on but I don't get to hear it. I take my seat and Sasuke is absent. I see some of them glancing at me, or maybe at the seat where Sasuke usually sits.

The class and I make my way to the cafeteria. I try to look for Sai. There he is, talking to Kiba. I make my way toward him and he notices me even before I reach him. A smile appears on his face.

He says,"Sorry, I skipped the first class." I tell him,"It's fine. Why do I feel like there is something going on?" Kiba says excitedly,"Didn't you hear it? They are saying, Sasuke hit someone to death. Someone from the other school."

I speak,"What? He killed someone?" Kiba says,"I don't know but that's the thing they are saying." I mutter,"But Sasuke can't go that far." Sai says looking not too happy,"This isn't something we should be worrying about. I'm not even surprised."

I tell him defending Sasuke surprisingly,"Maybe he's dangerous but I can't believe that he did that. This is just some false rumour." Kiba says smirking," Are you trying to console yourself?"

I flinch and half yell,"Why would I do that!" Sai says,"Kiba, stop pulling his leg." Then he turns to face me and ask,"Did you eat Naruto?" I shake my head. He says,"Come, I'll buy something for us."

After the classes end, I still have to stay in the school for that club. I'm still nervous about tutoring someone because I've never done that. I enter the big hall room that they set up as a big classroom.

There are a certain numbers of row dividing all those benches for certain subjects.And there's the guy standing there looking at the set up back facing me.

"This looks good now, doesn't it Naruto chan?" He says not even facing me.  Did he sense me? I tell him,"Yeah, where are others?" He says finally facing me,"They'll be coming. You are the one who's early."

I tell him,"Then I should wait outside." He says,"There's no need. You can sit with me waiting for them like I'm doing." I tell him,"No, I'm good." Yahiko says,"So tell me, did you like the party I threw?"I flinch. Is he trying to mock me?

I tell him,"Please keep things professional. We both should be cautious of the line between us." He says making his way toward me,"Which line?" I don't move from my place. I shouldn't be afraid because anytime all of them will come here and he can't do anything in school.

He says,"How was your night with the younger Uchiha? Was you satisfied or do you need me or even.... Itachi?" I bite the inner flesh of my mouth. I'll try to keep my cool no matter what.

He keeps saying,"How do you manage to attract bad guys this much? None of us are good for you." I ask him,"Are you saying that you are interested in me?" I see him raising his eyebrow looking at me with amusement and then he chuckles mockingly.

He says chuckling,"Who knows?" I tell him stepping back a little,"Doing this can seem fun to you but you can end up in something deep that you won't be able to get out of there. Try to enjoy your peaceful life as much as you can."

Yahiko asks,"Are you threatening me? You are too much of a shrimp to do anything to me? So who's the one? Sasuke? Will he beat me to death as well?" My eyes grew bigger. I ask him,"How do you know that! Did he really do it!"

Yahiko says after chucking again,"That reaction of you was cute. However, what is there to be surprised about? That little Kingdom of him he's building will crumble soon. This is just a start."

Soon, I hear noises and footsteps. A crowd enters the hall room leaving no chance for me to ask more. Maybe I'll have to ask Sasuke directly. No, this isn't my business. It's better for me to stay away for him.

Why am I here? In front of the door of his apartment? After I got out of the school, I came here after brainstorming the whole time. Sasuke may not be in home. But I won't be able to be at peace if I don't talk to him about it.

I press the button of the calling bell. I wait there. What if there's only Itachi? What if Itachi opens the door? I was sweating over every chances of Itachi being home. Meeting Itachi is nothing less than making my way to the death.

The door opens after a few minutes revealing a very messy looking Sasuke. Looks like, he's been sleeping. Sasuke notices me and he looks surprised. He asks me,"What are you doing here?" I stutter,"I-I'm just.."

He says,"Come on in." I follow him. His hair looks a little messy but he still looks good and that doesn't even make me surprised. I ask him,"Are you alone here?" He nods saying,"Now, I'm not."

He takes me to his bedroom and points me to sit on his bed. He asks me,"I'm really happy to see you here but I'm sure you have reasons. Why are you actually here Naruto?"

I feel a little nervous but I need to clear out. I speak,"There's a rumour in our school." Sasuke keeps looking at me with his raised eyebrow. I continue,"That you beat someone to death." Sasuke asks not looking surprised,"And?"

I ask him,"Did you really do it Sasuke?" He smirks. He asks,"Is this all you wanted to ask?" I nod. He asks,"Are you worried?" I tell him,"Just tell me, did you do it!'  Sasuke answers,"No, I didn't."

I ask him,"So why everyone is talking about you?" He says,"Someone spread it intentionally and I can feel that someone from my group is doing it." I ask him,"Who is the person?" Sasuke says,"I don't know yet but I'll find out soon."

I ask him,"Aren't you worried, even for a little?" Sasuke replies,"Why would I be worried when I didn't do anything wrong in the first place." I sigh. He says,"Seems like you are the one who is worried in real." I look away and tell him stubbornly,"I would never."

He takes my chin in his hand and says making me face him,"I really feel happy to see you being worried for me. It felt like you are acting like the old Naruto." I keep looking at him. His eyes have hope in it. What did I do to earn this kind of expression from him?

"I really like you." Sasuke says in his deep husky voice after he slept for so long. That sent shiver through my body and butterflies in my stomach. He kisses the corner of my lips and says again,"I really like you Naruto."

He licks my lips and I let him do that. I let him enter his tongue in my mouth and eventually close my eyes too. My back hits the bed and him on top of me. He captures my hands in his hands and cage me right away.

He kisses me so softly just like I'm a delicate glass. I continue this mistake knowingly. I'll blame him once again. I'm sure I'll stay away from him after this. This is just a mistake. I hate this blissful feeling. I hate the feeling of wanting him to keep clinging onto me. He has made me crazy.
