Chapter 15

A month had passed since Sasuke had claimed Naruto for himself and they were now officially a couple just like Sakura and Lee, well the only difference was that they were both guys and they hadn’t told anyone that they were a couple yet.
Sasuke looked over at the blond sitting across from him at the kitchen table, it was the weekend and Sasuke had slept over seeing as he had missed his last subway back to campus.
The blond sat deep in concentration looking at his notes before he wrote another paragraph for his essay; he looked so cute where he sat scribbling.
“It’s not polite to stare teme” the blond still writing “ha ha who says I was staring dobe?” the dark haired boy laughed before taking his last gulp of tea.
“Well I need to get to work” Sasuke said after he had looked at the clock hanging on the wall noticing that it was 1 pm, Naruto stopped his writing to look up at Sasuke “okay, when will you be back?” Sasuke calculated how many hours he was working “should be finished at 7, so should be back by 8” he said.
He got up and headed for the door closely followed by the blond “I’ll have dinner ready when you get home” Naruto said giving him his jacket, those words made Sasuke feel warm all over.
The dark haired boy leaned in stopping half way to make sure the blond understood what he wanted, Naruto only smiled and kissed him before watching him walk down the stairs.

Naruto had to smile because at that moment they couldn’t have acted more like husband and wife. The flat felt empty now as he sat back down looking at his sports essay which was due in on Tuesday.
Sasuke had been over to his place almost every day mainly because it was quiet and one could get some studying done outside of the library, but of course the main reason was the socialising with him. He took a deep breath and grabbed his pen and began writing, he only had another 200 words to write before he reached the word limit.

Once Naruto had just finished writing his last word his phone began ringing a familiar tune, he picked up and answered.
“What is it Momochi?” he said expecting to hear the man’s voice on the other end. “Naruto-sama” the blond boy recognised the voice and he could hear the distress it held. “Haku?” there was a long silence “I’m sorry Naruto-sama but could you please come down to the shop … I need some help” the boy said trying not to reveal the panic in his voice. But even though he did Naruto could hear it, he knew that Haku or Momochi would never call and ask for help with the group because they knew Naruto hated being part of the Yakuza.
However when they actually did ask for help it was always something bad, really bad and Naruto did not like the sound of Haku’s voice.
“Haku what’s wrong?” he asked the boy on the other end “Momochi is gone, I can’t find him any where” the panic had taken over Haku’s voice as he spoke. The blond boy just froze when the words had registered in his head and he almost dropped the phone onto the floor, “Naruto-sama, what do I do? I searched every where.” Naruto was snapped back to the present by Haku’s voice.
“Just stay there I’ll be right down” he hung up the phone and ran to the entrance putting on his shoes, bumping his head on the wall as he lost balance and almost fell over. When he had his shoes on he grabbed for his jumper which was hanging on the wall and shot out the door almost forgetting to lock it.

All the way down to the shop Naruto’s mind blurred and he really couldn’t focus on anything, you better be alive, Momochi was the only thing that was playing through his mind.
As soon as the subway stopped at the station he was standing in front of the door waiting for it to open, which seemed to take an eternity. Naruto shot out of the subway and ran as fast as his legs would allow him to go, all the way to the shop.

The shop had been around since the foundation of the Sumiyoshi-kai Yakuza, which is the second larges Yakuza group in the whole of Japan and it was the group his father was the godfather of, that was until he was murdered and his uncle Orochimaru had taken his place.
When Momochi had been old enough to run the shop his father had given him the control, trusting him to run the place in his absence. Naruto knew he didn’t have the best family; to be honest most people hated the Yakuza group and people associated them with death and torture.
Naruto couldn’t really blame them for it either; he had seen some things in his lifetime he would’ve rather live without if he’d had the choice. Everywhere the blond went he had to hide his family’s identity, only Sakura, Lee, Kiba and Ino knew since when his family had been murdered the whole town had found out.
Yet they hadn’t shunned him away, they had stayed not treating him any differently, well not much. Kiba had asked questing after question, Ino and Sakura had just said they would always be his friend. Lee had only said that he would be very pissed if Naruto didn’t survive long enough to see his children grow up seeing as how he was going to be the children’s godfather.

When he turned the corner he could see the shop and Haku pacing back and forth in front of it. His face showed signs of relief when he saw Naruto running towards him.
“Naruto-sama!” Naruto stopped, putting his hands on his knees struggling for air to reach his lungs; it had been a long time since he’d run so fast. After about a minute of gasping for air he looked up at Haku, who was waiting for him to catch his breath.
Haku’s dark eyes which were always filled with joy and comfort had been replaced with fear; Naruto could tell that he felt helpless much like he was himself.
“Close the shop and we’ll go look for him” he told the terrified boy in front of him “I can’t Orochimaru wouldn’t allow it” Haku shook his head as he said it, looking at the boy with pleading eyes.
“Don’t worry about my uncle, I-I’ll talk to him.” The dark haired boy’s eyes were completely taken over by fear, guilt and anger.
“NO! Don’t you dare to even think about it, Momochi would kill you if he knew you had spoken of such a thing.”
No matter how bad things would get he and Momochi had vowed that they would keep Naruto away for Orochimaru, the mental strain was just too much for the blond boy and he knew that all to well.
All communications between the two had gone through Momochi ever since they had taken the custody of the blond boy. “Haku, please” Naruto pleaded “Momochi doesn’t have to know, I’ll be fine. I’m a big boy now” he said while smiling at the boy and trying to hide the fear of his uncle.
Haku reluctantly agreed and closed the shop telling the other man working there that he could have the day off. “Where did you find Momochi’s phone?” Naruto knew he hardly ever went anywhere without it because it was important that he could contact Naruto and Haku.
“A young boy came in to the shop and gave it to me. I tried to ask him where he had found it but he hadn’t found it, some one had told him to give it to me.” Haku squeezed the phone to his chest. “Right, what places have you been looking?” he asked so that they didn’t go over the same places twice, Haku named all the places within the shop block radius.
Naruto took a deep breath that only took care of 4 places, leaving 20 more to be searched and hundreds of people to ask. “okay, lets start with the east side” the blond boy said and the search for Momochi began.

hope you enjoyed
