Various Uncompleted Fics

Please understand that the following stories were written by me from very long ago and I have practically forgotten the original plots I have planned for them. Currently I have no intention to continue them unless something inspired me which I can't promised will happen. So here's the warning that you are about to read something which might never get complete and has abrupt cut-offs. Proceed if still interested.

Each chapter is a separate story.

Prologue - 20 Loves
"The day you left I thought I would die. Strange thing was that was when I truly began to live. Because I wanted to live for you, Naruto..."

Chapter 1
"Oof!" a young blond stumbled back a few steps under the weight of a huge stack of documents dumped unceremoniously into his arms, swinging unsteadily for a few seconds before, finally righting himself up with the help of the car behind. "Heavy..." he complained, drawling out the monosyllable into a whine.

"That shows how much I've pamper you...to the extent that you're becoming quite a spoilt brat." a man dressed in a black, pressed suit with his brown shoulder-length hair drawn tightly back in a ponytail to give the illusion of short hair, sighed as he struggled to pull another bigger stack of documents from the back of his car.

"I'm not a spoilt brat!" the boy cried indignantly, then pouted at his guardian.

Umino Iruka caught the childish look directed at him, paused in his actions and smiled indulgently at his adopted son. Even with a scar that ran across the bridge of his nose, the man was a sight of gentle and patient beauty. "No, you're not, Naruto"

The nineteen-year old widened his eyes in slight surprise, but that expression was immediately smoothed over by a grin. "Aww, you're supposed to argue with me. Not agree. Iruka is such a party-pooper."

"That would be an endless and very tiring task to do. I'm getting old, Naruto...I don't have the stamina to argue with you." Iruka strained through his teeth as he lifted the humongous stack into his embrace, and bumped the car door closed. There was a shrill beep and the vehicle automatically locked itself up. "Come, follow me. I'll bring you to my office now."

"You're only thirteen years older than me. It's just your excuse because you're afraid of great old moi." mumbled the zealous blond as he tried to balance the documents into a comfortable hold, and when he looked up again, his guardian was already way ahead and walking through the entrance of the tall building. "Hey, wait for me!" Naruto yelled and rushed forth to catch up with Iruka. The next thing he knew, he slammed into another body and went down in a shower of fluttering papers. "Oww...butt hurts." he grumbled while rubbing the affected area with his left hand. When the pain subsided, he looked up to see the person he had crashed into, towering over him with a condescending glare. For a moment, Naruto was confused about the person's gender and he stared stupidly at the beautiful being with its pale skin, delicate features and ebony hair, mouth agape.

Then, it opened its mouth and a low baritone voice spoke dryly. "After you regain enough sense from your crush for me, you might want to apologise for crashing into me...dobe."

One blink. Second blink. And the meaning of the words finally sunk into Naruto's mind. He jerked back to reality with an angry yell. "What the...?! Teme yarou, are you implying that I'm gay and I like you?! Eww, but no thanks. I was just having problems deciding which gender you're, you sissy transvestite wannabe!" the blond countered back, and watched smugly as the face of the effeminate man darkened literally.

"You..." the raven-haired man was about to shoot back another insult when he was interrupted by a cheerful voice. "Ah...Sasuke-kun. I see that you've met Iruka's new assistant - Uzumaki Naruto. He starts work here, today, at Nin Records, so don't you scare the guy..." A tall, well-built man appeared magically before the two, wearing a friendly yet cheeky grin. One glance, and Naruto could tell that the newcomer was an extremely handsome fellow, even with half of his face shrouded in the shadows of his stunning silver hair. The only visible eye that held his attention now, was leering at him in a way that put shivers down his spine, and the blond almost felt like cowering behind the other guy, almost. "Naruto-kun, I'm Hatake Kakashi, and this brat here is Uchiha Sasuke, our adorable Prince of Nin Records." At this point of the introduction, the Sasuke guy growled warningly at the smiling man, while sporting a twitch on his forehead. But Kakashi never heard, or pretended not to hear him, and just continued on with his words smoothly. "I'm his manager. I handle everything for this superstar here. And when I say everything, I mean everything."

"You think too highly of yourself, Kakashi-sensei. You're only in-charge of stuff involving my career, not my personal life." the Uchiha stated coldly, obviously angry at the silver-haired manager.

"Naruto...There you are!" Iruka appeared then, hurrying over to the blond's side and frowning with worry. "Are you ok? Did you hurt anything? Do I need to call Dr. Tsunade?"

"Eh? No, no, no need for that. I'm fine. I'm really ok, Iruka." Naruto tried to explain to his flustered guardian to no avail. It was only when Kakashi decidedly chuckled out loud in amusement, then did Iruka realise that they had an audience. The brunette jumped around to face the other two, and his face went slack with surprise at the sight of Kakashi, then he blushed suddenly. There was something fishy in the nervous flitting glance Iruka threw the tall mysterious manager. "Ka..kashi-san!" Naruto looked suspiciously at his guardian when the man stumbled awkwardly over the said name, "And Sasuke-san. Good morning."

The ice bastard barely nodded his reply, eyes looking away in disinterest as his manager widened his smile and dropped his voice a notch lower in a gruff, sexy greeting. "Good morning, Iruka-chan."

"Iruka-chan?!!" Naruto sputtered, head swivelling to both men in a frantic to and fro action with eyes bulging out comically. "EhHh?!" To his dismay, the soft-spoken Umino blushed even harder. "O-kaay..." The blond was officially weirded out.

"Kakashi-sensei, by the way, I've to remind you that you're late and have already wasted enough time this morning. Either we get going now, or I'll take Gai-sensei up on the contract." Sasuke interjected flatly, tone dead and emotionless. The unspoken threat was left hanging.
