So, I never mentioned it last chapter cause I was unsure of how I wanted it to end but this is going to be the last chapter of this story. I plan on making an epilogue of some sort, eventually. Thank you so much for the love and support of this story for a second time!

Anyways, without further ado, here is the final chapter of A Stick In The Mud ReVamped

As soon as Naruto's door slammed, Sasuke practically flew down the flights of stairs until he reached the building's entrance.

He felt heated, his blood boiling, jaw clenched tightly as well as his fists that he kept firmly at his Sai. All he could see was red. He never felt so angry in his life.

It took him no time at all to reach his apartment, climb up the stairs, grab his keys to his car and get in and drive away.

The whole ride was filled with him tightly gripping the steering wheel and occasionally hitting it in frustration.

What felt like hours but was only a mere thirty minutes, he reached the parking lot of Sai's apartment building where he parked his car.

He angrily marched up the stairs to Sai's apartment where he banged loudly on the door. "Open this fucking door, Sai! You fucking piece of shit, get your ass out here!" There was no answer from the other side. And Sasuke glared at the door angrily. He once again banged on the door until a few neighbors came out to see what was going on.

"Fuck!" Sasuke cursed after about ten minutes of banging on the door. He gave it a good kick before letting out a frustrated sigh and going back down the stairs.

"Sasuke!" A voice called out to him once he left the building. He looked up to see a limping Naruto being guided by Sakura heading towards him. He jogged over to them.

"Naruto why the fuck are you here?" Sasuke took over for Sakura and glared at her. "Why'd you let him get up?"

"We came to stop you, you idiot." Naruto glared up at him.

Sasuke turned his glare down to him. "Stop me?! Why the fuck would you do that?!"

"So you don't end up doing something stupid!" Sakura retaliated. She placed her hands on her hips and glared at the raven. "You can't just run into something without thinking things through. You have to have a plan."

"I do have a plan, beating the shit outta Sai. But he wasn't even here anyways."

"Good." Naruto spat out. "We can just fucking ignore him."

Sasuke looked at him in bewilderment. "Ignore him?! Naruto, he literally came into your apartment last night. How the fuck are you just going to ignore him?!"

Sakura gave the blonde a sheepish look. "I agree with Sasuke on this one. There's no way he'll just leave you alone like that."

Naruto's face darkened with a blush. "Actually," he directed his gaze to Sasuke. "I was hoping I could stay with you."

Sasuke's eyes widened in shock before he gave the blonde a more sympathetic look, the anger slightly melting away. "Even if you do stay with me, what's to stop him from seeing you at school? Or even some of your favorite places? He's not going to stop, Naruto and we have to do something about it."

Naruto sighed in defeat. "I know, but I just don't-" he was cut off when a voice called out to him. He froze in fear, eyes wide and his breathing stopped harshly.

Both Sasuke and Sakura turned to see Sai angrily walking towards the group. In the blink of an eye, Sakura had Naruto wrapped in her arms and Sasuke was standing in front of them, his glare burning into Sai.

"What the fuck are you guys doing here?!" Sai demanded. He tried to push past Sasuke to get to Naruto, but Sasuke gave him a shove instead.

"Stay the fuck away from him, you piece of shit." Sasuke spat at him.

"You guys are the one at my place," Sai pointed out, glaring daggers at the Uchiha. "So what the fuck are you doing here?" His gaze lingered on the blonde who refused to look anywhere in his direction.

"Sasuke was coming here to beat the shit out of you." Sakura retorted, a sinister smirk on her face. "But Naruto and I came to stop him, even if I think it's a stupid idea."

Sai crossed his arms over his chest. "And why do you think I deserve to get the shit beaten out of me?"

Sasuke scoffed. "Are you kidding me?! You really think-" he was stopped by Naruto who pushed past him.

Naruto glared at the paler raven he gripped onto Sasuke's arm, feeling slightly unsteady. "Don't you dare play innocent, Sai. You know what you fucking did. I can't believe you have the balls to be asking that question."

Sai decided to turn his glare onto the blonde. "As far as they're concerned, I didn't do anything. Our relationship is our own business and they don't need to be involved in any of it."

"Are you fucking kidding me?! You raped me, Sai!" Naruto shouted and the tears started to pour down his eyes. "They know about the abuse, I can't fucking take it anymore, Sai. I'm done with you and our fucking relationship!" He stood up straighter and turned to face both Sasuke and Sakura. "Let's go, guys."

The two nodded and turned to go back to their cars, Naruto began to follow until he felt himself being tackled to the ground. He cried out in pain when he was flipped over and he looked up from the ground to see Sai over him, fist positioned over his face. The first hit was painful and soon he felt the barrage of attacks as Sai continued.

Sakura screamed as she saw Sai attack Naruto and Sasuke was quick to tackle Sai off the blonde and begin his own assault. He paused to look at Sakura. "Get him out of here!"

Sakura nodded and quickly rushed to Naruto's side.

"Sa..kura." He tried to say her name but his vision was fading. He closed his eyes and lost consciousness.

When Naruto woke up, he recognized the bare living room of Sasuke's apartment. He blinked a couple times before trying to sit up, groaning in pain as he did so.

"Don't get up."

Naruto turned to see Sasuke standing in the kitchen doorway. His eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Sasuke's face. "Y-you're eye."

Sasuke just gave him a shrug as he pushed himself off the wall and walked towards he couch the blonde was lying on. "A small price to pay for getting to beat the ever living shit out of Sai."

"What even happened?" Naruto asked once Sasuke sat on the edge of the cushion.

Sasuke reached out and grabbed Naruto's hand, lightly running his thumb over the tanned skin, causing Naruto to blush. "Sakura called the police after she got you to her car. It was a pretty one-sided fight but Sai did manage to get in a couple of good hits."

"Are you okay?" Naruto asked, a genuine look of concern on his face.

"You should be asking yourself that, not me." Sasuke chuckled. "But seriously, how are you feeling?"

Naruto shrugged. "Everything hurts but, I'm glad you're here and I'm glad this is finally over."

"Me too."

Naruto held out his arms and Sasuke raised an eyebrow at him. Naruto gave him a pout. "Come here!"

Sasuke reluctantly leaned into Naruto and relaxed in his hold once the blonde wrapped his arms tightly around him.

"Thank you for being here for me." He whispered into Sasuke's hair. "Thank you for helping me when I couldn't help myself and thank you for being my best friend."

Sasuke scoffed but buried his face into the blonde's neck, taking in a breath of Naruto's smell. "Of course I'll be here for you, no matter what, forever and always."

I'm sorry it was so short guys! But, this is how I wanted to end it. I don't know when I will make an epilogue, it probably won't be in the usual update schedule but I plan to at least make it before the end of 2018!

As always, if you liked it please favorite and review!

Thank you once again for sticking through with me to see the ending!
