Sleeping had always been a distasteful task for Sasuke. It gave enemies the perfect chance to assassinate him (or so they thought), it showed vulnerability and always brought back memories best forgotten.

Sasuke entered his room and shut the door quietly behind him. Today had been a rough day; Orochimaru knew that Sasuke didn't like having targets who had families but that was hard considering most of the important political representatives had families.

Seeing the look on that little girl's face when she discovered her father and mother dead had made Sasuke grimace, it reminded him too much of himself when he was younger. Feeling dirty and disgusting, Sasuke clambered into the shower and set it on the hottest setting possible. Scrubbing his hair with shampoo felt refreshing and was slowly ebbing away his unease. He was an assassin and death came with the job as well as their loved ones' reactions.

Sasuke finished his shower and quickly dried off, slipping on comfortable black clothing with a hidden knife in his pants. He knew he should sleep and rest up because Orochimaru was giving him a new mission tomorrow but his mind wasn't yet ready to close down.

Instead the Uchiha lay on his bed and stared at his blank white ceiling, just like the rest of his walls were. His room was expectantly blank, nothing on the walls and no furniture except for his bed. It was as if a human being wasn't living there, which is what Sasuke wanted intruders to believe at first glance.

Lately Sasuke had been thinking back to the time when he worked under the Hokage. When he lived in Konoha and actually had comrades and a lover but that was all behind him now. He had chosen power over everything. He knew that he would not gain the skills he needed in order to kill his brother from Konoha so he left, even if it was the hardest decision of his life.

His thoughts would always return to his best friend and lover. Sasuke always cursed and told himself that he needed more self-control over his emotions but he couldn't help it. He missed him. He missed the dobe.

***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***

"Not like that, you idiot." Sasuke flicked him on the forehead lightly.

"Ow, teme!" Naruto yelled at his sparring partner.

"Hn." Sasuke smirked.

Sasuke was trying to teach Naruto how to kill someone from behind by driving a knife into their heart and severing their spine at the same time.

"Now pay attention. You have to know the exact spot in where to put the knife into because if you mess up then you'll probably be killed." Sasuke lectured, pointing to a specific spot on their practice dummy.

"I don't get it." Naruto frowned.

Sasuke sighed, "What don't you get about it? I just explained it to you for the past hour-"

"No I get that, I mean I don't get the point of this." Naruto interrupted.

"The point is to kill your target." Sasuke stated deadpanned.

"Why can't we just do this instead?" Naruto pulled out his small pistol and shot at the dummy's head. Cotton burst from the point of impact and Naruto flashed Sasuke a foxy grin.

"Because the noise is sure to attract people and the trajectory from where it's been shot will lead to your location."

"Oh and blood gushing from the guy's back isn't a big turn on that he's been killed." Naruto snapped.

"It's better than the guy's head being blown off his shoulders." Sasuke argued.

"What if the guy sees you and pulls out his own gun on you huh?! Then what's your little knife going to do then?!" Naruto raised his voice an octave.

"I wouldn't let the guy see me, being stealthy is part of being an assassin." Sasuke's temple throbbed angrily.

"I wouldn't let them see me either and I doubt any political bastards would realize where the shot came from. I would be out of there before they even knew he was dead!" Naruto was now shouting, trying to raise his height by standing on his tiptoes to see Sasuke eye to eye.

The next thing both boys knew was that they were trying to suck each other's faces off. Neither of them knew who kissed whom first but it didn't matter. Sasuke quickly pushed Naruto to the ground and the groan escaping from the blonds' lips only turned the raven on more.

Sasuke slid his tongue into Naruto's hot cavern and the two began to battle for dominance. Sasuke's hand snaked underneath Naruto's orange shirt, pulling it up slightly to reveal his tan chest. Naruto's own hands were gripping the Uchiha's hair and greedily pulling him closer.

Sasuke frowned. The dobe wasn't letting up and there was no way he was going to submit. An idea popped in his head and he smirked. Sasuke's hand ghosted over Naruto's nipple and when he brushed it lightly, the blond gasped. Sasuke took advantage and shoved his tongue further down Naruto's throat. He had won.

Naruto tried fighting back but was in too much ecstasy to care. He let Sasuke have his way with him. The blond was too preoccupied with feeling the raven's pale chest and the raven was too preoccupied with memorizing Naruto's delicious taste to notice the approaching footsteps.

"Naruto, Bastard! Where are you-…… oh my god. AGH!" Kiba screamed upon seeing the two boys making out on the dirty ground. Naruto pulled himself away from Sasuke upon hearing the scream and blushed bright red when he realized whom it was.

"Ki-Kiba!" Naruto pushed Sasuke off of him and stood up abruptly.

Sasuke moodily stood up as well and glared at Kiba for having interrupted them.

"I have the absolute worst timing!!" He shouted, not uncovering his eyes.

Naruto stood still, not knowing what to say. Sasuke pulled Naruto closer to him and spoke calmly to Kiba, "If you stick around you can see me give the dobe a blow-job."

"EW! NO NO NO! I just came here to tell you guys something!!" Kiba yelled.

"What?" Naruto cut in before Sasuke could speak again, his blush was slowly receding.

"The old hag wants to give you guys a mission so just go see her!" Kiba rushed before running away.

"Finally the mutt's gone." Sasuke whispered in Naruto's ear, an arm going around to encircle his waist and the other heading towards his ass.

"And you're not getting anything until after the mission." Naruto pried Sasuke's hand off his ass and walked away from his encircling arm.

"You sound like a girl." Sasuke teased.

"And you still sound like a bastard, now come on." Naruto grinned and at that moment Sasuke knew that any other smile would fail in comparison to Naruto's. He had the most beautiful smile.

***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***

Sasuke wouldn't allow a smile to form at the memory. He wouldn't allow his heart to beat faster at the thought of Naruto's soft lips against his own and he certainly wouldn't care if he could hold Naruto like that again. He wouldn't allow his feelings to get in the way of things that mattered.

Reluctantly Sasuke began to close down his mind so he would be able to sleep. The task was already tedious but he wished that once in his life he would have a dreamless sleep.

***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***

"Tsunade ba-chan!" Naruto cheered happily, bounding into the room. Sasuke stayed behind because he knew what was heading Naruto's way.

Naruto screamed as a chair soared through the air and crashed against the opposite wall, shattering into splinters.

"Don't call me that brat!" The angry woman shouted, her face beet red.

"Sorry, Tsunade ba-chan." Naruto apologized and just barely missed ducking a vase, which joined the shattered chair.

"Just sit down." Tsunade growled. There was only one chair now because of the other one Tsunade had thrown. Sasuke sat down and smirked at the blond who in turn scowled and knew that Sasuke had purposely stolen the chair so Naruto would have to sit in his lap. Naruto instead sat on top of Tsunade's desk, which earned him a glare from the two other occupants in the room.

"So what's up?" Naruto asked casually.

"I have a new assignment for you two and Sakura, but she's out on another mission and has been injured so she won't be back in time for this one-"

"What happened to Sakura-chan?!" Naruto interrupted, panic set in his eyes.

"She was shot in the arm, it's nothing serious, she'll be back in about a week which is too late for this mission so you two are going by yourselves." Tsunade explained.

Naruto didn't look thoroughly convinced but kept his mouth shut.

"Now for the details. I have very little, so you're going to have to go undercover and find out the details yourself. Here's your man." Tsunade pulled out a file with a photograph of their target.

He was a tall, burly man with a chubby face and arrogant brown eyes. He wore an expensive black suit with many fat gold rings on his chubby fingers. He was balding in the back and wisps of brown hair still clung to his head.

"What details do you have?" Naruto asked out loud, his face contorted into a look of disgust at the sight of the man.

"They're in the file if you actually read it you know." Tsunade answered but the blank look on Naruto's face told her that he had no intention of reading them. Sighing to herself and pinching the bridge of her nose she continued, "His name is Daisuke Koura and he's the governor for Kuja (1) but also secretly deals drugs underground. He is the biggest supplier for heroine in this side of the country. He has a wife but secretly cheats on her with women in his office and that's about it."

"How do you want him killed?" Sasuke asked casually as if he was asking about the weather.

"Make it look like suicide."

"Hmph. You make this too easy for us." Sasuke smirked.

"Any easy way for us to get in?" The blond asked, passing the file to Sasuke who actually would read it.

"The man is pretty big on pretty girls, Naru-chan." The busty woman smirked and Naruto scowled. The blond couldn't remember how many times he had to go undercover as a woman because Sakura was off on another mission with Kakashi-sensei and Sai.

"What day do you want him dead?" The blond continued as if Tsunade's answer didn't make him sweatdrop.

"Three days." She answered, all business again.

"Consider it done." Naruto smirked and the woman returned it with her own smile of fondness.

***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***

Sasuke awoke to the sound of rapping on his door. He grabbed the pistol stored under a secret compartment in his bed and approached the door cautiously, making sure not to stand directly in front of it in case the person behind it decided to shoot through.

"Sasuke-sama, Orochimaru-sama would like to see you in his room." Kaboto's familiar voice floated in. Still Sasuke did not trust the voice for there could be someone holding Kaboto hostage and making him say those words.

"Snake." He spoke once more before Sasuke could hear his fading footsteps. That was the keyword for Sasuke to know that Kaboto wasn't being held hostage and was speaking of his own free will. Still Sasuke did not discard his weapon as he changed quickly and stepped outside of his room.

He held his pistol steady as he surveyed his surrounding and concluded that there was no one else out there besides him. Pocketing his gun cautiously, Sasuke made his way through the maze-like halls. He could hear the faint screams of prisoners he had captured for Orochimaru to practice on. He didn't know exactly what Orochimaru did with his prisoners but he had a relative idea of what he had planned for the eventually…death.

Soon enough Sasuke was standing in front of Orochimaru's door. He knocked three times, waited two seconds, and then knocked once more.

"Come in Sasuke." A slimy voice beckoned on the other side of the door. Sasuke opened the door, his other hand resting precariously on his thigh, where his knife was hidden. Orochimaru sat in his usual chair; custom-made by himself, and like any other day was wearing his grotesque make-up.

"You wanted to see me." It wasn't a question but a statement.

"Yes yes, close the door behind you." He waved his hand carelessly and even though the vein near Sasuke's temple throbbed angrily at being told what to do, he obeyed the command nonetheless.

Sasuke stood in front of the snake-like man, not bothering to bow like he used to. He had grown stronger and there was no need to bow to a man he had obviously surpassed.

"Now, what's this about a mission I hear?" Sasuke decided to strike up the conversation first. He couldn't stand being near this man, it made his skin crawl because he knew that the man was attracted to him sexually.

"Yes, a very special mission." Orochimaru licked his lips appreciatively. "This mission comes from someone in Konoha." The mention of Konoha's name brought a memory of Naruto's smiling face into Sasuke's mind but he pushed the thought away hurriedly.

"Why do they require our services and not their own?" The raven asked slowly.

"Because it has to do with Konoha." Orochimaru was smiling maliciously now. "The man chooses to remain anonymous but asked us to uncover the secret of Konoha."

"Secret of Konoha?" Sasuke confessed his confusion aloud.

Orochimaru nodded quickly before continuing, "When I asked for more information on the subject he merely told me that it was centered around Naruto Uzamaki." Sasuke's heart nearly leapt out of his throat at the sound of his ex-lovers name.

"What do you want me to do?" Sasuke inquired.

Orochimaru grabbed a file near him and tossed it at Sasuke. The Uchiha caught it with ease and opened it to discover pictures of Naruto. His eyes scanned them quickly and he wasn't even sure if he saw them all correctly, he just came to realize that these were pictures of Naruto, his Naruto.

"As you can see by those pictures, Naruto Uzamaki is attending high school in Konoha. I want you to attend high school as well and discover what you can about this 'secret'." Orochimaru looked amused by the whole situation.

"Why are you sending me on this mission?" He questioned, eyeing the obvious child-molester.

"Because you are the most familiar with the subject's habits, techniques and the subject in question and also…I thought it'd be a nice trip down memory lane for you." He chuckled lightly to himself. "You are to leave as soon as possible."

"Understood." Sasuke snapped the file shut and walked briskly across the room towards the door. Just as his hand went around the handle Orochimaru spoke up, "Oh and Sasuke-kun… make sure you don't damage Naruto-kun, I have special plans for him." The sinister smile on Orochimaru's face made Sasuke shiver involuntarily. Once this mission was over, he was going to kill the man who had given him power and was now useless to him.

***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***

"Sasuke…" Naruto whined from the passenger's seat. The raven turned towards the blond a bit but still kept his eye on the road.

"What dobe?" He asked.

"First off don't call me that and second I have to go to the bathroom!" Naruto snapped.

"I told you to go before we left." Sasuke sighed, driving up the ramp onto the highway.

"But I didn't have to go then." The blond continued to whine.

"You'll have to wait until we get off at our exit then." Sasuke hated driving with Naruto. The blond didn't have his license so he was basically useless if Sasuke got tired and needed a break from all the excessive driving, and he always complained about the littlest things. If his seat wasn't perfect, the song on the radio pissed him off, or if the air conditioner wasn't on high enough. It was the same thing over and over and it drove Sasuke crazy!

"Can't you just pull over or something?!" Naruto gaped.

"You can't pull over on this road, idiot." Sasuke breathed. (2)

"How am I supposed to know that?!" Uzamaki huffed angrily, crossed his arms, and pouted like a child.

Choosing to ignore the dobe, Sasuke turned the radio on instead.

A voice drawled on, "The massacre at the Koura's household is still yet to be completely confined but the police have released to the public that they suspect it to be murder on Mr. Koura's part and then killing himself afterwards."

Sasuke's eyes widened a fraction while Naruto kept on pouting. He obviously didn't care to remember their target's name.

"Dobe call Tsunade." Sasuke ordered, no longer listening to the radio.

"Eh why?" Naruto asked cutely, forgetting about his earlier anger.

"Because our target's already dead." This caught Naruto's attention and he quickly reached for his orange cell and punched in the familiar numbers quickly.

"Why are you calling me brat?!" Tsunade's enraged voice asked through the speakerphone.

"Tsunade ba-chan, the teme just told me that our target is already dead!"

This stopped Tsunade's oncoming rant. "Is this true Uchiha?" She asked quietly.

"Yes, I just heard it on the radio. The police think that our target killed his wife and then committed suicide." Sasuke briefed.

"I want you two to go there and make sure he's dead and if he is come back home and if not…well you know what to do." She hung up.

***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***

The train ride into Konoha's vicinity was easy enough, now all Sasuke needed to do was get inside.

Even though Konoha was one of the biggest assassination organizations in the world, not all of its citizens were assassins. Most of them knew what Konoha was but others still remained ignorant of the fact.

Sasuke was primarily a mile away from Konoha's gates but he knew better than to just walk up to it's door. He was going to use the Uchiha estates secret back way. Only Uchiha's knew of this so he was certain he was safe from people spotting and recognizing him.

He exited the train station with only a knapsack on his back and started his hike up to the mountains conveniently located near Konoha. There was a mountainside passage that wound throughout the earth and opened up in the Uchiha's state garden. He didn't know how long he hiked, but he finally found the passage hidden away behind a boulder. Even if the boulder looked huge, it was actually made of plastic and was very easy to move aside. Once inside the tunnel, Sasuke sealed the entrance so no one could follow him.

The tunnel was dank and dark. Sasuke lit his lighter and light sprang up along the rock walls, he carefully made his way through the tunnel's winding route, making sure not to lose his footing and to follow the right path that would lead him to the Uchiha estate.

After hours of climbing through the mountainside Sasuke emerged in the Uchiha's state garden. The flowers, which were once blooming proudly were now wilted, and dead. The sight of his old home brought back painful memories but he decided not to dwell on those thoughts and to press onwards. He refused to let his emotions get in the way of the mission at hand.

He didn't look at his surroundings as he let his feet guide him out of the estate. Once he was in public, he pulled his hat down on his head and held his gun tightly in his hand hidden under his long black jacket. No one paid him any mind as he walked the familiar streets. He smirked to himself.

From what Orochimaru had told him it was obvious that Sasuke needed to have a relationship with Naruto in order to find out what the 'secret' of Konoha was. He hadn't thought of how to go about this because he didn't know how Naruto would react to seeing him once more. He could try to kill him or maybe he would welcome him back like nothing happened at all. Either way Sasuke needed to confront Naruto and he needed to do it now. He couldn't wait until school; he had to do it now.

The path to Naruto's apartment was familiar, considering all the time he spent there with the dobe, and since he blended in so well with the crowd no one recognized him.

Sooner than he would've liked Sasuke was standing in front of Naruto's apartment door. Bracing himself for the worst Sasuke knocked.

"I'll be right there!" A voice called through the other side and Sasuke's heart swelled at the sound of the dobe's voice.

He could hear the approaching footsteps and the gun hidden under his long sleeve tightened considerably.

The door opened slowly and there was Naruto standing right in front of Sasuke.

The world seemed to stop at that moment. Both boys looked at each other for what seemed like hours but was only a few seconds. Any confidence Sasuke had before was now gone. The pictures in the file didn't do Naruto justice. He was even more beautiful than Sasuke remembered. His hair was still a wild mess but was even blonder than before. His eyes were still that immeasurable cerulean color but were alight with curiosity now. His skin was still deliciously tan and radiated a healthy glow, his lips looked even softer and pink than before and the scars on his cheeks just made him look even cuter now. He was wearing an orange shirt that was just a tad too big on his shoulders and somewhat tight dark jeans.

"Hello Naruto." Sasuke found his voice somehow, and gazed down at the much shorter boy.

"Um hi…"Awkwardness entered his gaze as he asked, "Can I help you with something?"

Sasuke blinked. Did he just hear correctly? Did Naruto just ask if he could help him?

"D-do you know who I am?" Maybe Sasuke wasn't recognizable in his disguise.

"I'm sorry but I don't know you." Naruto pouted cutely. When he couldn't figure something out he would pout in consideration.

"It's Sasuke…Sasuke Uchiha." That would make the dobe recognize him. Sasuke braced himself for all kinds of reactions from the blond; anger, resentment, surprise, happiness, sadness…anything. What he didn't expect were the next words to come out of his mouth.

"I'm sorry I've never heard of you before."

***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***

"He's dead." Naruto spoke happily from their hidden spot at the funeral.

"How do you know? It could be a different person in that coffin." Sasuke offered.

"No, he's dead." Naruto smiled.

"How do you know?" The raven repeated himself, something he never does.

"All the secret smiles on the people's faces, they killed him and now they're happy."

"I didn't know you could be insightful, dobe." Sasuke smirked.

"Shut up teme." He growled. "They'll forget this soon enough anyways."

"What makes you say that?" Sasuke asked, curiosity getting the best of him.

"No one wants to remember someone who left them alone." Naruto's smile vanished for a second but returned back full force a moment later.

Sasuke would've confronted Naruto about his actions but Naruto was already pulling him to a nearby ramen stand. Oh well… it could wait.

***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***

1)- Kuja is just a place I made up, I don't know if it's real.

2)- I'm pretty sure you can't pull over on the highway unless it's an emergency. Granted I don't drive so maybe I'm wrong, sorry if I am.
