Some Things Never Change
A/N: Heres the chapter promised... On time too! Yay Sasuke meets Naruto finally! Review please!
FULL Summary: Naruto is the Konoha District Attorney responsible for prosecuting Itachi. Unwittingly, he is thrown into the middle of a dangerous conspiracy, where blackmail and deceit become the rule of the day. Can he even trust Sasuke, his long lost best friend that he was just recently reunited with? SasuNaruSasu AU
Rating: Relatively harmless now, M for later chapters...
Disclaimer: Naruto will not be in a comic book store if I had anything to do with it.
Strolling into the room and shutting the blinds, Naruto motioned for Sasuke to sit while moving himself to lean against the closed door. Letting his eyes rake over the person he had come to think as his best friend, he saw Sasuke raise his eyebrows and entwined his fingers in front of his mouth, elbows leaning on the armrest.
“So… Sasuke, what’s up?” Naruto opted for a less excited tone. That, and he was still slightly rattled by Akatsuki’s visit, and frankly, he didn’t feel all that excited now.
“I want you to drop the charges against Itachi” Sasuke said without any introduction or change in his usual stoic expression.
“Excuse me?”
“I want you to drop the charges against Itachi” Sasuke repeated in a similar expressionless tone. “Do you understand the sentence or do I have to explain myself... Dobe?”
“Teme…” Naruto didn’t care whether he was meeting his long lost best friend. No one told Uzumaki Naruto how to handle his cases. His expression however, softened when he heard his pet nickname being used.
“Do I need to repeat myself again?”
“No… and no. Why would I do that?” Naruto held up both his palms in an enquiring gesture.
“Hn…”
“And why are you asking me to drop the charges against Itachi? Sasuke, I thought you would be the first one to offer testimony to convict him! After all that you’ve told me…”
“Circumstances change. Itachi is innocent. Drop the charges”
Damn Uchihas and their few words.
“Sasuke…?”
“I think I have made myself clear. Drop the charges”
“Care to provide a reason?” Naruto was getting more and more impatient. This was not one of his best days, and Sasuke was certainly not making it easier.
“I told you. Itachi is innocent”
“Anything to substantiate that claim, perhaps? Evidence you would like to turn in? I can’t exactly drop murder one, two and a whole lot of other charges just because you ask me to!”
“Hn…” To the naked eye, Sasuke’s expression remained unchanged and unfazed. To the untrained ear, the painfully overused ‘hn’ was a dismissal, a rude remark, even. To the ordinary man, Sasuke looked like someone who neither cared nor was concerned about the question, and certainly didn’t plan on answering the question.
To Naruto however, everything was different. He often thought that the fact that he spent so many years learning how to read the ice prince would make him an extremely good psychologist. Apparently not, according to his psychology unit marks when he took a stab at psychology at The University of Konoha. Apparently he could only read Sasuke. A Sasuke-ologist. Smiling slightly at his analogy, he continued waiting for a response from Sasuke.
To Naruto’s eyes, Sasuke’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his left pinkie twitched slightly, meaning that he was sizing Naruto up and deciding how much to tell him. To Naruto’s ears, the ‘hn’ was slightly drawn out, meaning that the ‘hn’ actually meant ‘hold on while I think’. To Naruto, Sasuke was deciding whether what or how much to tell Naruto. Naruto couldn’t help but break a wry smile. Even after so many years of not seeing the raven, even after so many years of not practicing his ‘reading skills’, he could still read Sasuke like a book. Some things never change.
Pausing to allow Sasuke to think, Naruto silently walked over to his desk and sat down on the slightly battered leather chair.
“All you need to know is that Itachi is innocent. He did not murder our clan”
“But…”
“I think our meeting is over” With that, Sasuke stood up gracefully and reached for the doorknob.
“Sasuke” Sasuke allowed his hand to rest on the doorknob, while turning his face to face the blond, while raising the eyebrow.
“I am going to subpoena you. I trust that when you take the stand you would tell the truth and nothing but the truth?”
“Hn. What makes you think that I want to be your witness?”
“I am going to subpoena you, whether you want to be my witness or not, Sasuke. My office will contact you shortly”
Sasuke hesitated, nodded, and twisted the doorknob.
“Oh, and Sasuke?”
Scowling at the second interruption, Sasuke turned around once more.
“What!?”
“It’s really nice to see you again”
Nodding and suppressing the ever insistent urge to roll his eyes, Sasuke opened the door and swept out of the room without another word.
Naruto sighed for the umpteenth time, and buried his head in his hands. He needed time to think about the chaotic day today. Making up his mind, he abruptly stood up, only to be greeted by a pair of concerned eyes.
“What’s wrong?” enquired his assistant.
“I’m exhausted. Gonna punch out early today” With that, Naruto swept past a slightly confused Kiba and gathered his briefcase and started shoving documents into his bag.
Kiba shrugged and walked out of his office.
Still gathering the documents, his hands accidently brushed and knocked over a picture frame.
Picking it up, he realized the picture was one taken years ago, of him and Sasuke while they were still in primary school… When Sasuke’s parents were still alive… and just before that happened to Naruto…
Shuddering involuntarily, he focused his eyes on the picture.
He had his arm around Sasuke’s shoulder, and his smooth unscarred face sported a wide grin, while Sasuke looked uncomfortable at the contact.
Snorting, Naruto set down the picture frame, thinking to himself no matter how many things have changed, some things never change - Sasuke never liked being touched. He had only ever allowed Naruto to touch him. Snorting once again at the suggestive analogy, he turned to look at his best friend’s face.
Pale, alabaster skin surrounded midnight pools of black that was, god forgive an Uchiha that showed emotion, twinkling with mischief and affection. Spiked, unruly black hair, obviously very well cared for. Smirking internally, he thought of what a neat freak and pretty boy Sasuke always was. ‘Exactly the opposite of you’ - Kiba’s words seemed to ring in his ears again. Wait, did he just call Sasuke… pretty?
Shrugging off that thought, he continued stuffing needed documents into his briefcase.
Stealing one last glance at the picture frame, he sighed and said nostalgically out loud: “Some things never change”
Sasuke was, is and will always be his best friend.
Turning off the lights in his office while he stepped out of it, Naruto inhaled deeply and found a renewed resolve to get to the bottom the enigma and mystery that seemed to surround his best friend. Screw Itachi and Akatsuki. He owed it to Sasuke to get to the bottom of this, and god help anyone that got into his way.
Sasuke was, is and will always be his best friend. Some things never change.
So? What do you think? I want to hear it all!! EVERYTHING!!
Next chapter will be in maybe 2-3 days time. Till then!
