WARNING! This is an M/M pairing so yes there is going to be boys love, so if it doesn't appeal to you tastes you should return to you previous page and search for fics that you'd enjoy.

Konnichiwa, wow it's been some time since I've had to write an author's note haven't written anything to write one for. But not anymore for I've finally started writing a new story =D Anyways this is my first SasuNaru story and dun dun dun it's going to have more than one chapter!

For those who don't know but I'm awful at writing anything longer than one chapter but I've decided to give it a go especially with this idea in my head I knew one chapter wouldn't nearly be enough. So I hope you all like it, please leave a review and tell what you think about it. Any questions or improvements are welcomed, now on with the show.

The titles crappy and I'll probably change it but for now it's the best I could think of sorry.

Warnings: M/M, AU, death, probable OOC but I'll try my hardest to keep everyone in character, and that's all I can think of for this chapter. There will probably be swearing and a lemon in later chapters but much about that then.

Disclaimer: My sister told me that I wasn't the one who owned Naruto... that it in fact belonged to Masashi Kishimoto... she's currently acquainting herself with the ground.

Chapter one

Year xxxx

Bursting through the walls, it munched greedily at anything and everything in its wake. Heat burning all that it encountered, turning everything black. Orange and red it glowed, soaring higher and higher until it encompassed the entire house ablaze in the moonless night like a beacon of light to direct travellers, yet at the cost of a life the fire shone brightly.

A single figure lay on the living room floor. The fire roared round him but he did not stir, smoke encompassed the whole room making it near sightless. Flames lapped at his body, crawling, feeding on as much skin possible both satisfying and fuelling their unrelenting thirst. Yet the man made no motion of noticing. His eyes gazed lazily at the ceiling looking up to the sky lifeless but his soul had yet to journey to the afterlife.

The sound of sizzling and the stench of flesh burning reached his senses but he was numb to the effects on his body and the surrounding area around him.

He had given up; completely and utterly.

He welcomed the feeling of heat burning his body, surrounding, engulfing until they reached that final point, that final destination in order to consume the body whole.

A single scream resounded in the night sky.

10 years later

Uzumaki Naruto sighed in relief as he placed the last of the boxes down. Wiping the sweat off his brow he grinned, sky blue eyes twinkling in happiness as they took in the room in front of him. The room was essentially bare aside from the boxes that were scattered around the room he had brought with him.

He had spent month saving up, fortunately he was a decently known writer, decent because although his books sold he would not be picking up any awards for best seller any time soon. However he wasn't all that bothered he was just happy people liked his books and his pay meant he was able to buy this place. Then again because of the history of the house the price was a lot lower than it would be if it wasn't for the history and the last owners really wanted to sell it real quick, but much about that later.

Back to the house, well more mansion like, it was one of those old fashioned houses, suppose to be a summer house for some rich folk years ago. So although it bore mansion like status it wasn't as large as you would find mansions of that era but larger than what it considered a normal house these days.

It was situated in a town called Hitoshirezu Sato which literally translated into Hidden Village, it was named after having been created during a war where numbers of people fled their home and made a new home here which was surrounded by forestry hiding it from the outside world.

The village was north of Morioka but just slightly south Aomori, though it was no longer a Hidden Village it was still a small quiet one that suited its population well. Those who left the Village as young adults would always return when they reached retirement age preferring the peace offered in their home town at that age than the bustling city life they had embraced at a younger age.

It was exactly the reason Naruto moved there in the first place, he always preferred the peaceful solitude but no matter where he searched he could never find somewhere that was a good distance from the town that noise wouldn't effect his peace but close enough for him to walk, though he would drive but still, in case he wanted to walk to the village it wouldn't take him half a day, just maybe an hour or so but Naruto didn't mind as much having come to enjoy long walks.

However his luck finally turned around when he saw the ad in the paper one morning about the house. Yes, he had to search exactly where this town was never having heard of it before. Yes, it was a hassle changing publishing firms because he came from Tokyo and it wasn't like his editor was planning on making the trip here to pick up his manuscripts. Though luckily on the day he looked at the house he also stopped by the publishing firm and had sorted out most of the work and gotten a new editor so by the time he did move in he could just focus on the house. He was already set on t the moment he looked and saw the price. So it wasn't much of a hassle, and finally yes, the house did have a rather peculiar history that would usually make normal people not want to buy the house, but it was perfect and he wasn't going to let it stop him from buying the house.

The moment he looked at the place he instantly fell in love. It suited his geographical needs perfectly; it was the summer house of some rich folk who made it so it was a good distance away from the town and all its residence. Beside despite the smallness of the town there was a lot of free delivery in almost everything; Naruto figured he'd probably rarely need to go out to buy anything.

The size was a lot larger than needed for a single person; there were three floors if you counted the attic as a separate floor.

Once you step in side you are greeted with a hallway with a large stair case leading upstairs. There are two archways left and right and two large wooden doors on each side of the stair case. The entry way to the left leads to a large conservatory; if you walk northwards you would enter the dinning room which was connected to the kitchen. There was a door to the right of the dinning room that connected to the ball room which is where the two doors beside the staircase lead to.

The entry way the right led just to a large living room, a fire place opposite the entrance. Large windows would let light in from the south whilst to the north a previous occupant had knocked down the wall that connected to the ballroom and added another kitchen, this one smaller and more homey feeling than the large kitchen on the west side of the house.

Naruto mused that he would probably use that kitchen more than the other, maybe use the other when guest came around. Though he snorted at the idea that anyone would visit, it was the whole reason he bought this place.

The second floor was also split into east side and west side; although once you walked up the stairs you were greeted with a door that led to another set of stairs up to the attic. On the right wing were two bedrooms, a study and a bathroom, the left was one bedroom, another bathroom, a music room and a library.

Every room was quite spacious with large windows to let light in, Naruto had felt slightly daunted at what to do with the sheer space but the previous owners told him that once you start to fill out the rooms with furniture and such the rooms seemed smaller and habitable.

The attic however was one room that he never went into, not because he didn't want to but because he couldn't. The door was seal shut making it impossible to open.

There had been a house fire just over ten years ago, luckily fire fighters had arrived in time to prevent the house from completely being destroyed but unfortunately not in time to save the owner who had died. The house had been rebuilt and updated and the next set of occupants moved in two years later.

However they were never able to open the attic door; the door which was not originally part of the house when made but added at a later date, it was made out of a type of wood that would expand in the presence of strong heat. It was believed the owner of that time had a pyromaniac son who roomed in the attic. They added the door although it was never closed, in case he accidently lit the room on fire; that way he or the parents could close the door and try to control the fire and everyone could get out and wait for the fire fighters to put out the fire with limited damage possible to the house.

Though fortunately that situation never occurred when they had lived there, but the time it did the wood expanded sealing the door shut. It was the only room unaffected but the fire of 10 years ago; it seemed the parents had also replaced the floorboards with material that would withstand flames so it never had to be rebuilt. The only way to enter the room now was if they cut out the door but none of the occupants since seemed to have done it yet.

Naruto wasn't that bothered because he didn't really care much for the attic, he had enough space for all his things but if curiosity decided to rear its head, he had a card of someone who'd be more than happy to help.

Taking in a deep breath, wanting to smell the fresh newly bought house scent, but instead he started coughing and sneezing as dust particles flew up his nose. At one point he sneezed and coughed at the same time making a rather peculiar sound fly from his mouth.

After a couple of minutes later he was able to clam himself down, wiping the tears that had formed during his half sneezing/coughing fit, Naruto wrinkled his nose looking at the thin layer of dust.

Although the house did previously belong to a couple who sold it too him but from the level of dust and the absolute emptiness of any furniture, it didn't appear as if they were still living there when they decided to sell.

But then again Naruto mused there was that reason, but he never though too much of it.

Shrugging his shoulders; his furniture beds and sofas etc, wouldn't arrive till tomorrow. He opened the box that said cleaning supplies; he figured he would need them so he stocked up before moving.

Taking out a broom, some cloths and other cleaning utensils he looked at his wristwatch and saw it was 2 in the afternoon. Contemplating a bit he figured he'd work on the rooms that he'd immediately be using by tomorrow and finish of the rest tomorrow.

Nodding to himself he decided to work backwards, first he'd start with the kitchen, setting up all the electrical equipment that was in the boxes and making sure both the electricity, gas and water was working, although he was assured they were all in working order the moment he arrived.

Then he'd move the rest of the boxes into the conservatory to unload tomorrow. He would wipe away the dust in the living room and unpack some sheets and make a makeshift bed, after all his bed was coming tomorrow. Though he would also clean his room of dust so he could immediately set up the furniture there, Naruto decided to take the single room on the left wing, even though the master bedroom and the study was on the right wing, the library was on the left and he figured he'd add a desk in the library where he could do his work. He didn't need the master bedroom, didn't particularly like it much mainly because from what he knew about rich folk and summer house's in unknown areas, it usually equalled to the women being brought here not being the wife.

Being the child of a mistress Naruto felt rather edgy about sleeping in that room, sure this was a summer house to a rich man decades ago as well all the furniture would be new and have no connection to that time. As well the man who created this house could have been the most loyal husband so there weren't any infidelities occurring in the master bedroom. But Naruto could not shake the feeling that there was the high possibility that a child like him was created in that room and every time he went in there he was always reminded of the selfishness of men who think they can have everything and it's always the bastard child that suffers.

No he would never sleep in that room, instead he chose the room that would've most likely belonged to the house keeper if the broom closest right next door was anything to go by. Being at the opposite end of the master bedroom it meant the servant would be able to wake up wash and go downstairs without disturbing the Master at all. Though luckily it seemed despite the servant status they were treated quite well, with a well spacious room and there was even a balcony over looking the gardens.

For Naruto the room was perfect he was planning on turning the other room beside the master bedroom into a guest room and the master bedroom into a gym, though he'd doubted he would use it much but he had bought the equipment, it would be a waste to throw it all away.

...

He spent the rest of the day just focusing on those three rooms, the kitchen, living room and his bedroom. Though he did check out the bathroom but it didn't need to be cleaned much just a quick wipe over the tiles with the mop, the bath, sink, toilet and shower were all brand new so there wasn't much to do there.

The gas, water and everything was in working order and the dusting itself only took him a couple of hours. After he quickly showered and then started unpacking as much as he could, though the only thing he could unpack were his towels and shampoo for the bathroom and other toiletries, kitchen utensils and pots and pans and such. He would need to buy more food because at the moment he only had instant ramen which he placed in the cupboard. There was a big enough space between the kitchen and the living room for a small table to be his dinning room.

He decided to place some candles and other small trinkets he had bought out of likeness but never used on top of the mantle over the fire place. There weren't any photos and he doubted there would ever be any.

It was round 7 that he was finally finished; making some ramen Naruto sat down on his makeshift bed he opened one of his favourite books the Hunger games by the American author Suzanne Collins.

Half an hour later sleepiness gnawed at his body, it seemed all that dusting took more out of him than he realized placing bookmark to save his place he put the book down. Turning off the lamp beside him, he soon settled down falling into a deep sleep.

...

It was dark when Naruto opened his eyes; blues eyes stared unfocusedly blinking repeatedly as Naruto tried to wake up. It was dark all around him, meaning it wasn't yet daybreak. Naruto couldn't understand what it was that woke him up when a shiver passed through his body. Pushing the sheets down his body he sat up, grabbing his phone he looked at the time only to see it was 1 in the morning. Rubbing his eyes he wiped the crust from them when a strong breeze of cold air hit his back.

Turning around Naruto's eyes widened and his body froze.

White curtain was fluttering from the strong winds coming from the open window...
