HUMAN YESTERDAY
Chapter Four: Rehash
by Maine
Pairings: SasuNaruSasu.
Warnings: Angst?
-------------------------------------------------------
The rain never did let up, and if Sasuke didn't know better he would have said that Naruto had had in say in that. Not that he blamed him. Going back there at all had been a stupid move in the first place; Orochimaru and Kabuto had both warned him, but they'd let him go anyways, knowing he would be back.
It had simply been a sudden and inexcusable lapse in judgement. A moment of weakness.
It wouldn't happen again.
"Back so soon, pet?" The gravelly voice purred before Sasuke had even gotten ten steps within the cave, and the teen furrowed his brows, his hands clenching into fists at his sides. Orochimaru stepped out of the shadows with a smirk stretching his unnaturally pale face, and for a moment, Sasuke wondered if he was that pale yet. It was a fleeting thought.
"Fuck off."
"Maa, speaking so rudely to Orochimaru-sama, Sasuke-kun." Kabuto jeered, still within the shadows, and the look on Sasuke's face only darkened further. He did not want to deal with them both right now. The medic-nin sidled up to his master's left, his glasses flashing as he pushed them up. He opened his mouth to speak again, but stopped when Orochimaru lifted a hand.
"Sasuke-kun.." The snake sannin started, lifting a thin brow to eye his pupil. Sasuke was still glaring daggers at Kabuto. "...You're earlier than I anticipated... But I guess I should have expected you to give the fools a short goodbye. You didn't kill them, did you?" His other brow rose to join the first, and Sasuke's lip curled before his eyes snapped toward the sannin. Orochimaru smiled harmlessly. "I only ask to ensure that they can continue helping us toward your goal."
Sasuke was quiet a while before his shoulders went a little more slack, and his chin drooped just slightly. "...No. Everyone is still alive."
Another smile curved at white lips. "Good... Come, Sasuke-kun. You missed out on the last two day's training. We have to catch up, don't we?" The man turned, starting down the cave hall, and Kabuto followed wordlessly.
Sasuke watched them go, taking a step before pausing, almost turning to glance back at the entrance. Catching himself, he furrowed his brows sharply and took another solid step forward before falling into a slow pace after the pair. "...Hai."

The ANBU were on him within seconds of coming into sight of the main gate, and Naruto was hauled ungraciously directly to the hokage tower. He didn't bother complaining that he could walk himself. Honestly, he didn't much trust himself to. The entire way back he'd felt more than shakey. The rain had yet to let up, and he wasn't quite sure if he'd somehow gotten a fever or something.
It had taken him three and a half days to get back to Konoha, when it had taken less than a day to get there. He must look miserable by now, caked with dirt and the grime from the trees, thoroughly soaked with rainwater. He didn't notice glances thrown his way from the people they passed quickly by, curling slightly into the warmth of the masked ANBU who had hauled him into his arms. He also didn't notice that when he did, the nin tightened his arms just slightly around the teen.
When they reached the Hokage's tower and the doors to her office within, Naruto was set onto his feet. Cracking an eye open, the blonde noticed the other ANBU members watching him carefully. The one who'd set him down leaned down just slightly, speaking in a low voice. "...Are you able to walk in yourself? Or should I keep carrying you in there, Naruto-kun." The blonde's eyes widened just slightly. He could almost hear the smile curving at the man's lips.
Yamato.
Shaking his head, Naruto flashed a small grin and turned to the doors, moving to push them open, but the other nins beat him to it. He was almost grateful. The single step he'd taken forward had him teetering for a moment, and he knew he couldn't trust his legs much longer.
Looking up from her paperwork, Tsunade's eyes widened and she practically flew up from her seat. "Naruto!" The teen stepped up until he was halfway between the door and her desk, and when he stopped, the ANBU pulled the doors back shut. Tsunade's mouth flapped open and closed for a while longer before she managed. "Where the hell have you been?!" Naruto looked down, and the blonde woman took that as a chance to continue. "Naruto, you can't just go running off after that Uchiha like that! What if it'd been a trap? The ANBU lost the both of you after you'd crossed the fucking border! Do you know the fit the council went into?! They were going to label you as a missing-nin and put you right at the front of every ninja's bingo-book for countries around! I had to fill out papers-" She paused, letting out a frustrated noise and lifting the stack of papers she'd been looking through, shaking it before smacking them back down onto her desk. The wood creaked painfully at the force of the impact. "I'm STILL filling out papers to convince them that they shouldn't! This could very well have ruined everything you've worked so hard for, Naruto! Gods, do you even understand.." She trailed off with a slow huff of air before dropping back into her seat, lifting a hand to hold her forehead before rubbing her temple.
She was so angry that it didn't even occur to her to look for her trusty bottle of sake. She hadn't for four days ever since hearing the the Uchiha heir's appearance and the fact that Naruto had run off with him.
"Baa-chan.." Naruto spoke quietly, not moving from his spot, and if Tsunade hadn't paused in her tirade she would have missed it entirely. Brown eyes slid over to the tanned blonde standing a few feet before her desk, and at seeing him look pathetically at the floor, her arms dropped and she leaned back tiredly into her chair.
Tilting her head, the godaime lifted one tiny brow, watching the blonde. "...What is it, gaki?" Her tone was near-harsh, but her voice was quiet and a little concerned. Still, the young genin didn't look up, his voice lowering by the minute.
"...I.. I want to leave Konoha."
At that, the woman rushed to her feet again, nearly yelping. "WHAT?! Naruto, you can't possibly--" She paused, her mouth flapping momentarily before she growled. "Did that Uchiha brat talk you into this?! I knew I should have never sent you after him in the first place. And yesterday.. Why did you follow him, Naruto? Why are you going to keep following him-"
"I'm not." The quiet voice interrupted, and Tsunade stopped dead, looking quickly to the boy's face. Slowly, Naruto lifted his head, looking at the hokage evenly. "...If I could... I'd like to go with Jiraiya again. Be a wandering ninja like he is. I wouldn't do anything Konoha wouldn't approve of, and I'll keep quiet and out of trouble..."
"Naruto..." Tsunade chided tiredly, sinking into her chair once more and rubbing her temples. "....What's this about? Is it something that happened the other day...?" She cracked an eye open to see Naruto clench his jaw, but the blonde didn't say anything. "...What did he say to you to have you run off past our country's border with him?" Still the blonde didn't say anything, and when his gaze started falling to the floor again, Tsunade leaned onto her desk, resting her chin on upturned knuckles. "...Naruto..." She waited until the blonde looked at her again, and she breathed out a small, light sigh. "...I'll get in contact with Jiraiya."

A/N: Oh it isn't over yet! D: Tsunade and Naruto'll talk a little more next chapter. I will also include some Sakura in the next chapter, because she is severely under-loved here in the male/male section. Do not expect any bashing. D: I've grown attached to miss bubblegum-head. Don't expect NaruSaku lovin's though, either. Just some platonic lurves. I miss the sibling attachment of team seven... ;_; *shakes fist at Kishimoto*
OMG I REPLY TO REVIEWS. When I can find something to reply to. kk. I totally forgot in the other chapters. XD Sorry guys. ILU.
SadisticKiss: ;_;! I'm so glad you like it so far~! Hopefully you keep liking it, I always look forward to yer reviews! *heart* And lol, I don't think I've ever made someone feel bubbly before. This is a moment in history! But the angst'll continue for another few chapters. ;w; But it'll get better... Then worse... But but then probably better again! I don't know, I haven't planned that far yet! D:
Hina88: XDD Awww! Sometimes I start thinking like that too... But then I remember how hot Sasuke is. And then I find myself calling Naruto a lucky bastard. But then I remember how much of an ass he is. And so Naruto's a poor bastard. It's a vicious cycle. But they do fit so wonderfully together. ;_; They're really just too cute.
SharinganEyes: OMGCOOKIES. *nomnoms* Thankuh! And yeah.. I didn't think even great sex could change anything about Sasuke. If anything, you'd have to beat the facts of his momentary stupidities into him, or talk it out until he understands... And then beat it into him again just to make sure.
Reno's_Lover: Like I said to SharinganEyes, I don't think Sasuke could really change that quickly. And like he'd thought at the beginning of his chapter, he sees the whole thing as a moment of weakness. He's just... A cold bastard like he's always been. Hope I cleared it up. >_>;
Thank you everyone for reading and reviewing too~!!! Feel free to ask for a reply/cookie when you review, and feel free to ask questions if anything's unclear or if I should redo something!
God, at this rate, I may just get up almost a chapter a day.
