Chapter One: Lost Cause

A Liar…

I would always be that person. In order not to be hurt by anyone I would lie. In order to escape the pain and loneliness I would lie. Everyone who knows me thinks that I'm a happy-go-lucky person who has no problems at all when the truth is my life was miserable.

In the past I was very happy. I loved my parents my relatives and my friends. Heck, I even sacrificed my time for them. I devoted my life for them ever since I was born and got to think like a human being. Everything was wonderful. Some might even get jealous when they saw me and my parents laughing at the park happily but everything changed.

I could still remember that faithful day where everything changed. And seeing my parents and relatives fight and destroy each others name I couldn't handle it. I was torn of whom to follow and believe. That's why I started lying. I started lying to protect myself and I began to change.

I was an innocent young man who became a rebel young man.

And this is my story.

Konoha College

I am Uzumaki, Naruto, twenty years old and an undergrad. If you are wondering why I am still inside my school even though I'm an undergrad it's because I am waiting for my friend, Kiba, who told me that he could lend me some cash to pay for some of my debts. I love Kiba, there's no doubt about it but sometimes he is so busy that he doesn't have enough time for himself. I can't blame him though, since his parents were rich they always have parties to attend to, relatives to entertain that always visits their house and etc.

So here I was sitting at the fountain area, patiently waiting for my friend to arrive. I looked around and saw some new faces. I feel jealous towards those students. I wish I could finish also but I knew that my dream would never come true. There were so many 'If only' and 'What if' in my life. Maybe those were the reason that I failed to become the perfect son for them. It's not that I blame them. I am at fault also because I rebelled towards them and followed my decisions. I knew the consequences pretty damn well but I couldn't handle the pressure and stress reality has given me.

I am currently looking for work and I already applied to some restaurants. All that's left is for them to contact me. Truth be told, I am a complete wreck.

I looked at the school clock and saw that it was already pass our meeting time. I sigh and realized that Kiba won't be able to lend me some cash today and that means I am in big trouble. You're probably wondering why I'm in trouble, well you see, I pawned my cousin's digital camera last month because of my need of money. So to make the story short, my cousin found out and was angry at me and wanted me to get his camera back. I could get it back but I am, in a minute short of money and that is why I asked Kiba if he could lend me some cash and he said yes and told me to meet him at our college lobby and here I am now standing frustrated because Kiba won't meet me today. And that means I won't be coming home tonight to avoid being killed by my cousin.

My life sucks and it's me to blame, no one else because I did this to myself. So anyways, I left school and turn my phone off to avoid any calls from my parents, cousin, and heck, even Kiba or any of my friends.

Streets

I was walking at the park and decided to spend time there to think of how I can earn some cash in just a day and fast. I sat on a vacant bench and started thinking. I was so caught up with my thoughts that I was shocked when I heard a shout crying for help. I looked around and saw some thugs surround a lady to whom I think was of her early forties. It wasn't my business to save her but she reminds me of my mom and that made me move without even thinking of the consequences. That's my weakness if you want to ask me why I always act without thinking.

I pulled one of the thugs away from the lady and threw a punch to another one standing beside me. I didn't even study martial arts or kendo. Heck, I'm not a sporty kind of guy so the moment one the thugs threw a punch on my face really hurt! I shouted at the lady to escape when I saw her still standing there as I fight with thugs in front of her to save her.

The next thing happened so fast then. After I saw the lady run, a sharp pain invaded my senses. The thugs retreated from throwing punches at me and I saw one of them holding a jack knife covered with blood.

'Shit'

I was stabbed and was probably gonna die because no one can save me. My consciousness was starting to fade and before I knew what happened next I fainted on the ground.

"He saved my life…"

"I know that dear, but you shouldn't stress yourself too much." A man's voice said, "You know that our sons worried for your health."

"Our sons always worry too much." A woman's voice said, "I handle five branches of our restaurant dear while you and our sons handle the companies we have."

"And your point is?" the man asked.

"I'm not weak." The woman reasoned out.

"Says the woman who was nearly raped or whatever those thugs would have done if this young man didn't come to your rescue." The man said.

"And that's the reason why I have to be here to check on him." The woman said. "He has no profile and has no wallet for the police to get some information." The woman said.

"No profile?" the man asked.

"Yes…" the woman answered.

Their conversation ended when they realized that I was awake and was looking at them curiously. The woman was the lady I saw a while ago at the park and beside her must be her husband from what I've heard with their conversation a while ago.

"You're awake." The woman said. "I'm the woman you saved two days ago." I heard her say.

Two days?

I've been unconscious for two days? I stared at them before trying to rise from the bed but the woman stopped me.

"You should rest." The woman said and glanced at her husband, "Call the doctor and tell him that his patient is already awake."

The man followed what the lady said and after he left I stared at the woman calmly. She smiled at me and asked me if I was thirsty. I nod and then she gave me a glass of water and proceeds to sit on the chair beside the bed. I slowly placed the empty glass at the table and then thanked her.

"I should be the one thanking you." The woman said. "I'm Mikoto Uchiha." She said with a smile. "You can call me whatever you like." She said.

"Mikoto-san, thank you again." I said and looked at the room, "You shouldn't have stayed for my sake. Your husband and your sons must be worried with you here with me, a complete stranger." I explained.

Mikoto pouts and then smiled back, "Don't worry, my sons are out of the country with a business meeting at China." She said. "And as for my husband he can worry all he wants." She grins.

Mikoto-san acts childish for her age but she was kind that I could tell. She doesn't look like those women who were serious and most of the time misunderstands how teenagers act nowadays.

I smiled at her and checked the place. The room looks expensive and from what I could tell, they haven't contacted any of my relatives especially my parents. That's a relief. They couldn't handle the shock of how much they were going to pay for the room and also the hospital expenses. I sigh and Mikoto-san noticed.

"Is there something wrong?" she stopped, "I'm sorry, I forgot to ask who my savior is." She smiled.

"I'm sorry." I said and before she starts complaining I introduced myself, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto, Mikoto-san."

"Naruto then." She said, "Is there something wrong?" she asked.

"I'm…" I stopped and wondered if I should lie or tell the truth. I looked at Mikoto-san and saw her watching me expectantly. I sigh and decided to tell the truth. "I'm worried that my parents will have some problems paying the bills." I said and looks at the room one more time, "You shouldn't have picked a-"

"The bills have been paid." Mikoto-san said and I looked at her with a shocked face.

"Don't worry, the hospital belongs to a friend of ours so the bills were cut into halves although we paid the exact price." She said.

"But… you shouldn't have done that, Mikoto-san," I panicked, "I won't be able to pay you!" I said.

The door to my room opens and reveals Mikoto-san's husband together with the doctor.

"I see that the boy's already awake." The doctor said.

"Hiashi, be nice." Mikoto-san said, "Naruto saved my life."

Hiashi smiled at Mikoto-san and proceeds to check me and my vital signs. After that he turns his back at me and told Mikoto-san and her husband that I would probably get out of the hospital tomorrow at noon.

"That's great, Naruto." Mikoto-san smiled and hugs me.

I was surprised at first even her husband was shocked at the simple action that his wife had displayed. It's been so long since I've been hugged by my mom and the warmth Mikoto-san's hug reminds me of how vulnerable I am now. Tears formed into my eyes and I hugged Mikoto-san back.

The doctor and Mikoto-san's husband walked out of the room and left me with Mikoto-san. After the short hug, Mikoto-san gave me a heart warming smile and I returned her a smile of my own.

"I almost forgot... do you want me to call your parents and tell them what had happen? You've been away form home for two days now and I'm sure they are worried sick about you." She said.

If only they were…

I shook my head and smiled at her, "Its okay, Mikoto-san, I could always tell them that I stayed at a friends house." I reasoned out.

"Are you sure?" she asked and I nod my head once more.

"More importantly, I want to pay you back for the hospital bills and all, Mikoto-san." I said, "Is there something you want me to do?" I asked.

"It's okay, Naruto. You saved my life and that was enough." She said, "No need for you to worry about the expenses."

"But-"

"Again with the 'buts'…" she said and sighs.

"I know that you paid a big amount for my bills, Mikoto-san." I said, "And doing that to a complete stranger really is weird." I explained, "I'm sure, your husband also thinks the same way."

Mikoto-san pouts and the stood from the chair she was sitting and started pacing back and forth. Her husband entered the room and saw Mikoto-san pacing and looks at me to question what was going on. I sigh and was about to explain when we were both interrupt by the squeal of Mikoto-san. We looked at her curiously.

"You can work at my new restaurant, Naruto." She said. "I'm sure my husband doesn't mind, right, dear?" she looks at her husband.

Mikoto-san's husband looks back at me and sighs, "Why not?" he said and Mikoto-san grins and attacked her husband with hugs and kisses.

And that was the beginning of how my life will change.

Next Day

I was standing outside the hospital and was standing beside Mikoto-san waiting for Mr. Uchiha to arrive. We both decided, mostly I did, to go to Mikoto-san's new restaurant so that I could see the place and know how to get there. We saw a black limo stopped in front of us and I was stunned. Who's the rich person that owns the-

My question was answered when Mikoto-san pulled me towards the limo.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

I knew that Mikoto-san and Mr. Uchiha were rich but… TO OWN A LIMO is way over the top!

I only know that celebrities used Limo's and Royalties but I never thought that I saved a millionaire from thugs. I must be dreaming.

Mikoto-san must have sensed me stopping on my tracks and she threw me a curious look, "Is there something wrong, Naruto?" she asked.

I shook my head to clear my mind, "M-M-Mikoto-san…" I stutter, "Do you own…" I couldn't finish my sentence and just points at the Limo.

Mikoto-san nods and smiled, "Fugaku wants me to be safe and won't allow me to take a bus or taxi when I go out after the incident that happen. He even forbad me to ride on a train." She giggled while I sweat.

One wrong move and Fugaku-san, Mikoto-san's husband, will kill me without hesitating.

"Let's go, Naruto." I heard Mikoto-san said and followed her inside the Limo.

"Good noon, Mrs. Uchiha."

Mikoto-san was greeted the moment we stepped inside the Limo. I glanced at the driver and saw him wearing a tuxedo and a mask covering half of his face and an eye-patch on his left eye? How weird is that? I sat beside Mikoto-san then.

"Kakashi…" Mikoto-san said, "Why are you the one…"

"Fugaku-sama didn't want you in danger so he asked me instead of your usual driver to fetch you, Mrs. Uchiha." Kakashi, the driver said.

"I don't need and bodyguard for heaven's sake." Mikoto-san protested, "You should be with Sasuke, Kakashi." She added.

"Young master decided to grant Fugaku-sama's request after hearing about what happen to you, Mrs. Uchiha." Kakashi explained.

"Great! Does Itachi also know?" Mikoto-san once again acts childish while I was still getting some nervous breakdown.

This was not normal. I never thought that the city I was living at had some millionaire's! That was impossible! I must be really dreaming. This occurrence only happens in a dream, Fanfiction, stories and novels! There is no way that a 'lost cause' like me will ever meet someone as kind as Mikoto-san who was a millionaire and would kindly give me a job even though she only knew me for a day.

"GREAT!" I heard Mikoto-san shout, "They won't allow me to go out alone anymore!" she complained and leans back on the seat and hugs my arm, "Naruto! Please save me!"

I was really unable to comprehend why this was happening to me. I don't know if I should be thankful or not of meeting Mikoto-san but if this was the only way I could pay her back and also get a steady job then I should be thankful then.

I smiled at her, "They are only worried about your safety, Mikoto-san." I said.

"Ehhhh?" she whined and continued to complain at Kakashi while I just sat there beside her and watch the view outside the window.

It took us about an hour to reach Mikoto-san's restaurant and I had to plan on how am I going to reach in time for work. The place was far from my parents house and from the looks of it, if Mikoto-san tells me that I should start at seven then that would make me wake at four in the morning to take the train from going here. The bus would take too long and I doubt if any bus has come here and if I ride on the taxi, that would be very expensive and I don't have any extra cash left.

"Naruto, don't just sit there, come on." Mikoto-san said and I saw her already outside waiting for me to come out.

As I exit the Limo I was amazed at the place. It had the best ambiance I'd ever saw. Heck, even the place Kiba always go to would never be matched against Mikoto-san's restaurant. I also noticed that there were cars parked at the left side of the place.

"Business is going well as always, Mrs. Uchiha." Kakashi said and gave the key of the Limo to a man standing in front of him.

I watched the man bow at Kakashi-san and proceeds toward the Limo.

"Let's go, Naruto…" Mikoto-san once again grabs my arm and drags me towards her restaurant.

As we entered the place, it made me speechless. I could only see this kind of place inside a cruise ship or at America and any foreign country but it seems like Mikoto-san has her ways to make a place become another place a person would like to rest or feel at ease.

The restaurant had soft music in it as well as waiters and waitresses standing at the corner waiting for the guests to call for them. The bar was also fantastic with all the drinks available. There was a stair beside the bar and Naruto followed it only to realize that the restaurant had three floors. It was amazing. And he was going to work at this place.

"Don't worry about the interview part." I heard Mikoto-san said, "I've already taken care of that." She said.

"All you need now is some uniform and some rules and regulations to follow." She said and pulls me towards the bar.

"Good afternoon, Lady Mikoto." The bartender greeted and bows at Kakashi and stares at me.

"Good afternoon, Ebisu." Mikoto-san said, "Has Tsunade-sama arrived yet?" she asked.

"Not yet, it seems my lady." Ebisu, the bartender answered. "Although, her husband, Jiraiya-sama called a while ago and said that Tsunade-sama will be late because of some extra work at the hospital."

"I see…" Mikoto-san said and continues to drag me inside the restaurant.

"Who's the kid?" Ebisu asked at Kakashi when he saw that the silver haired man sat on one of the stool.

"Naruto…" Kakashi answered, "The kid that saved, Mrs. Uchiha from being harmed by some thugs at the park."

"Really?" Ebisu glanced at Naruto who was being dragged by Mikoto. "It seems like Mikoto-sama has taken a liking to the blonde kid." He said.

"It great…" Kakashi said, "Mrs. Uchiha needs someone who she can acts normal with." He said, "Being with a husband like Fugaku-sama and their sons who followed their father's footsteps is bad for a cheerful woman like, Mrs. Uchiha."

"Be thankful that the three men are not here Kakashi, or else you've been found on the rivers of Tokyo floating the next day." Ebisu smirked and gave Kakashi a drink.

"They won't do that to a friend." Kakashi smiled even though it was covered by a mask.

"And you're abusing it." Ebisu joked.

Uchiha Building

"How did that happen?" a man in a black suit asked, "How did mother escaped from her bodyguards that day?" he asked.

"Her bodyguards said that she told them that she'll be using the lady's room and luckily sneaked out without being noticed." Fugaku explained to his older son.

"Mom really acts like a child nowadays." Another man said who was sitting on the settee.

Fugaku sighs at what his second son had said, "Anyways, I was thinking that we should visit her today and spend our lunch together as a family." he said.

"I have a meeting at four, father." Itachi said.

"And I have to meet with some investors that are interested with making a deal to our company at three." His second son said.

"Itachi, Sasuke!" Fugaku sneer, "Cancel those appointment of yours or reschedule them." He said, "One lost or two of some dealers won't affect our company anyways."

Itachi and the second son, Sasuke flinched at their father's tone and chose to follow their father's order.

Restaurant

"So you know how to serve and talk to customers because of your course in college…" Mikoto said after her interview with Naruto, well, getting to know more about Naruto.

"I guess we don't need to test your skills then?" she asked.

"You should ask someone to train me, Mikoto-san." I said, "After all, I've never been in an actual situation where I serve the guest."

"I guess you're right." Mikoto-san said and before she could say more there was a knock on her office door.

"Come in." Mikoto-san said.

Kakashi-san walked inside and bows at us, "Fugaku-sama as well as Itachi-sama and Sasuke-sama have decided to visit you, Mrs. Uchiha." He said.

"That's perfect!" Mikoto-san squealed and stood from her chair, "You can finally meet my sons, Naruto." She said and before I could decline she had pulled me off my seat and once again drags me at the restaurant area.

Will someone please kill me now…

I silently prayed. I was sitting next to Mikoto-san and beside me was her second son whose name was Sasuke. Next to him was Itachi the eldest and next to Itachi was Fugaku-san. There was too much tension in the air and I know the reason. It seems like the sons of Mikoto-san were not that happy about me being to close to their mom and I understand why, because I was a stranger and have no profile.

The waiter serving us left a while ago and that left for Mikoto-san to speak up trying to cheer us all. I was trying to smile while listening to Mikoto-san but the stares being sent towards my place was really annoying. I calmly stared at the two brothers and wasn't surprised to receive a glare from each one of them. I sigh inwardly and decided to excuse myself when Mikoto-san placed her hand on my shoulder which surprised us all.

"Sasuke…" Mikoto-san said. "Stop giving Naru-chan that 'look' you'll scare him, right Naru-chan."

I could see the dark shadows lurking behind Sasuke and that made me fear for my life. And why did Mikoto-san started calling me Naru-chan? This was going to be a long lunch meeting.

"M-M-Mikoto-san, it's not really a-"

Sasuke suddenly drops his fist on the table making some of the guest look at our area. I was now scared and my feet was totally nailed on the ground making me unable to move. I could see the emotion his eyes were giving and that reminded me of something I didn't want to remember. It was that emotion that I've always received from them: Doubt.

It wasn't really hard to know. After all, I've been watching many people ever since I was young and could read them clearly as a book. And Sasuke, even if he remains emotionless I could still see the emotions his eyes were giving. I sadly smile to myself and realized that no matter what happens even if Mikoto-san trusted me I will still be doubt by people who really loves her and respects her. I understand that. I was already a 'lost cause'. My parents don't trust me anymore. My friends won't help me.

I am alone.

I sigh and bowed my head at the Uchiha's, "If you'll excuse me…" I said and walked away from them.

Mikoto-san was about to stand but I stopped her, "Don't worry Mikoto-san. I'll be here for work tomorrow." I said and once again bowed my head as a respect.

I was walking around and didn't know where to go. After I left the restaurant I walked to an unknown street and for some reason ended up in an old church. I could tell that it was no longer being visited because of the veins sticking to its walls. I chuckled remorsefully. Thinking aback, I stopped visiting the church when everything changed with me and my parents. I blamed God and stopped believing towards him and now here I was walking towards one of his home for I have nowhere to go. I guess this was my punishment. Because I turned my back on him that's why he forsaken me as one of his sons.

As I open the doors of the church I flinched when it made a screeching sound just like in the horror movies but I didn't mind. I walked straight towards the altar and stopped when I was near the table where the priest usually placed the bible and his holy stuffs. I traced the table with my forefinger and glanced up the ceiling. Although the church was covered with veins, it was beautiful. The place was like an enchanted place for me. It made me feel like I was in the Victorian Era where I was secretly waiting for someone in this place. Happy endings were only for those who still hope and believe.

I already gave up believing and hoping.

I've cried for help many times but no one heard my pleas.

No one understood what I'm feeling and always misunderstands.

I lied to protect myself…

… But it seems lying wasn't enough now…

I am alone and broken.

My mind still shouts for help and my hand unconsciously reached out for someone to grab it…

And yet everything was futile…

No one will save me…

No one can save someone who was already a lost cause.

Mikoto's Office

"Why did you act like that towards Naru-chan?" Mikoto was shouting and she doesn't care if everyone outside could hear her.

"Mom, Sasuke was only worried for your-"

"I would be dead by now if Naru-chan didn't come to my rescue!" Mikoto cuts off what Itachi was saying.

"He could be an accomplice with those thugs…" Sasuke calmly said.

"Would he even risk his life if those thugs were his friends?" Mikoto was now angry, "He was stabbed! STABBED!" she was shouting and was gonna step out of her office when Fugaku stopped her.

"I swear, Fugaku Uchiha, if you don't let me through this instant you will never see me again!" Mikoto said seriously.

"What is it about this guy that makes you care about him?" Sasuke was now furious and Itachi was trying to calm him down by touching his shoulder.

"Aren't you mad also, Itachi?" Sasuke stared at his brother, "Mom could be in danger if she trust too much." He said.

"His eyes are dead."

The three Uchiha's look at Mikoto. She sadly smiles at them and leans on the door.

"He might be smiling and laughing when he talks to me and may act stupid sometimes but his eyes still remains the same." She explained.

"His eyes are dead." She repeated once more.

"I was once like that and it changed when I met your father." Mikoto lovingly looks at Fugaku.

"I became happier and my happiness continued when you two were born." She said and walks towards Sasuke and Itachi and hugs them both.

"But from the moment I saw Naru-chan…" she then let's go of her sons, "I saw myself in him." She said.

"That's the reason why I want to help him."

Fugaku sighs and calls for Kakashi who entered the room immediately. He then orders Kakashi to look for Naruto. Mikoto thanked her husband and then walks toward her husband and kissed him.

"Thank you."

Mikoto said and hugged her husband. Sasuke sighs and walks toward the door.

"And where do you think you're going, little brother?" Itachi asked.

Sasuke looks back, "I'll help look for him." He said and didn't even wait for Itachi to respond and closed the door.

Church

Naruto was staring at the ceiling and noticed that it was slowly getting dark. He knew that he would spend the night at the forsaken church so he decided to sit on the altar table and began saying the lines of his favorite song…

The clouds and puddles can be seen everywhere

The sky looks like it's about to cry

As we go about drowning in our daily lives

There is something frozen in my memory

Passing each night alone

I erase the sound of the morning with my sights

The time we had that passed us by

I cannot take back anymore

Mr. Déjà vu

You're not here

You turned into just an illusion

When I realized you were gone

The hands on the clock do not move anymore

Speak to me

Not being able to say goodbye

Please don't leave me alone

Even if there is no such thing as eternity

I want to continue believing there is…

Sasuke was about to give up looking for the blonde boy and was about to turn his car around to go back to his mother's restaurant when he noticed something on his right side. He stopped the car on the corner of the road and turned the engine off and walks out of his car.

It was an old church. It looks creepy but to Sasuke it was nothing more than an abandoned church. He didn't know why this place caught his attention and he was about to go back inside his car when he heard something.

It was faint but he could hear someone singing.

He listened carefully and absently walks towards the doors of the church. The voice was becoming clearer now that Sasuke was at the door. It was slightly open so he could see a little of what was inside.

Mr. Déjà vu

You're not here

You turned into just an illusion

Sasuke was surprised when he looked at the center to see the blonde singing. It was his voice then that Sasuke had heard. He quietly enters the church and observed the blonde behind the shadows.

When I realized you were gone

The hands on the clock do not move anymore

Speak to me

The blonde's expression was as painful then as he sang the next line. Sasuke wondered why the blonde was making that kind of expression. He doesn't have a clue about the blonde that's why he was angry that his mother would trust the blonde when she only met him for only three days.

Not being able to say goodbye

Please don't leave me alone

Even if there is no such thing as eternity

I want to continue believing there is…

After the blonde finished the song Sasuke could see clearly the blonde's eyes. It was shining because of the tears forming. The blonde then jumped from the altar and landed on the ground. Sasuke saw him stretched his hands and looks around.

"Guess I'll be sleeping here for the night."

Sasuke heard the blonde say and he was curious why the blond would say that. He has a home right?

And before Sasuke could stop himself his mouth had started moving.

"Why are you staying here, Dobe?"

Both of them were shock but Sasuke could see that the blonde's expression was more of scared than shock.

And without hesitating Sasuke walks out of the shadow and glares at the scared blonde.

"If you're that scared to spend the night in this abandoned church, you should have gone home hours ago." He said and waited for the blonde to say something.

Sasuke leaned his body on the wall of the church making half his body be covered by the shadows. Only the moon's light was the only thing making the place be seen. The blonde was looking away from him and he was about to shout at the blonde when he heard him whisper something.

"I don't have super powers to hear your whispering, Dobe." Sasuke annoyingly said.

"I'm not a Dobe!" Naruto shouted and once again bowed his head to hide his face from Sasuke.

Sasuke, being the matured guy he is waited for the Dobe to speak.

Only a minute passed and then he heard the blonde's voice once again.

"I can't go home…"

Sasuke was now even curious about the blonde.

Naruto: Whaaaatttt! (Shocked)

Sasuke: (Chidori forming)

Dark: You can't kill them Sasuke, Yumi won't like it.

Sasuke: Hn… (Chidori fading)

Dark: Anyways, Just let Yumi type her feelings for now… She's too much depress and it's making me worried that she might do something drastic as to slash herself.

Naruto: Yumi-chan won't do that! (Worried)

Dark: If only… I saw her staring at the kitchen knife this afternoon. Good thing she didn't touch it… And she was always staring into space nowadays… (Sighs) I had to control her body to avoid her doing this kind of things…
