Bury the hatchet
He doesn't know if Orochimaru has made it on purpose. He doubts it. But when he has seen that symbol in the metal he has been unable to avoid the urge to take it. Because of that, one of the ninja has not been left unconscious. He mades an imperceptible gesture of pest while he recoveries the bandana from his clothes.
He holds it in his hand, and goes over the embossed texture with the forefinger. He remembers the time that he had one just like that and the last time he saw it. A hard pain goes over his body like a lash when he remembrals an inert body getting wet by the rain.
He does not sleep that night. He leaves the hideout and buries the bandana, far away, deep. He doesn't stand the fact that he has fallen in the memories game and he arranges, once again, to erase all the bounds to his previous life. But there is something, someone, who can never be totally cleaned, doesn't matter what he does, how much he trains, or how much land he puts above.
Closer than Sasuke thinks, but farther than he'd want, Naruto tosses and turns in his sheets. In the Wind Country the heat is terrific and the sand enters the tent through all the gaps. Ero-sennin is again out, and he will not come until the morning, so Naruto is on his own.
As most of the nights, specially when he can't sleep, he decides to stand guard outside the tent. He is already used to, as his sensei goes 'to look out for information' many days.
He climbs up a close rock and he stays looking to the horizont, alert but quiet. After a while, as he notes that the temperature has lowed down a bit, he goes back to the bed. When he comes in again, he accidentally steps on his bag and something metallic sounds inside it. He stops at themoment, and he doubts. Finally (as always, he thinks, angry with himself) succumbes to the temptation and he bends down and takes his bandana.
The metallic band, with a scratch in the middle cutting the symbol of Konoha, returns his own look of blue eyes. They're desolated, and they have that expression that only a few people can see beyond his hyperactivity. He cannot recall the day he got it without the tears steaming up his eyes and, when this happens, he is not able to keep looking the sheet.
Lying to himself doesn't have any sense. He misses him so much it hurts. Even with Iruka-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, Sakura-chan, Ero-sennin and all the friends that he was able to do since he became genin, he can't make dissapear that sensation, that loneliness that he felt when Konoha people refused him without him knowing the reason. There is something missing in his chest, and he is broken inside.
He keeps it again in the bag and he goes to sleep, determined, once again, to save him. Even if he has to break his arms and legs. Damage his fucking pride and get him back.
Separated from something more than the distance, two ninjas wait. The final battle is close and they have both the same fear about the result. It will all be decided the next time they see each other, probably, and they are not very sure if they want to know how it ends.
With their minds drowning in hate, pity and memories, a new day is born. And both of them carry on with their lives, as if they weren't broken. As if there was a happy ending for them. As if there was still hope.
