Me (Naruto's POV)
Naruto © Masashi Kishimoto
Naruto walked down the rocky path as he squinted at the horizon leaking sun rays into his sensitive blue eyes.
“Teme” was the only word that occupied his mind at the moment.
He climbed up the rocky slope until he reached the circular, melancholy area, where he had last saw his bestfriend.
Ex-bestfriend.
He lowered his hand to touch the ground as he was buried in thought.
Where...
***
Sakura picked up the papers from the Fifth Hokage’s desk and blindly stacked them in a pile. Her mind was totally elsewhere as she organized the medical files. Suddenly her eye wondered and caught a word that drew her attention.
“Secret jutsu”.
She looked down puzzledly, surprised to see accounts on secret jutsu’s among clinical papers. Her eyes skimmed the page as she began to shake.
“Naruto..”
***
Uchiha Sasuke stood silently upon a cliff, the surrounding sea sending waves thundering against the rocks below. “Leave me,” Sasuke ordered the Hebi, a group of people whom he hardly would call as friends. They began to trot away quietly then, leaving him during his times of contemplation. At times like these, the loneliness he felt was merciless, as he tried time and again to focus his thoughts to something other than the emptiness he felt within his heart. He would rather die than admit something such as this without a doubt, for keeping secrets was his specialty. “Argh!..” he grunted suddenly, falling to his knees as he coughed up a series of blood, soiling the ground.
Dammit..” he rasped quietly to himself, clutching his chest to calm down his heavy breathing. He was used to this now, after enduring it ever so often. The spell was indeed, brutal to his body and he knew, that his life span was to be drastically limited.
“Sasuke..? what’s wrong? are you-” began Karin, who failed yet again to be apart from the raven-haired nin for long. “I’m fine..now get the fuck away from me, I thought I already made that clear,” Sasuke barked, the red pools of sharingan in his eyes glinting menacingly. He was definitely not in a good mood.
“Karin... just leave him be. All you ever wanna do is fuck him..Tch..” Suigetsu replied tauntingly as he began to chuckle when he saw the expression on Karin’s face.
“SHUT THE FUCK UP SUIGETSU, MIND YOUR OWN GODDAMN BUSINESS!!” Karin retorted, her face flustered wildly with embarrassment.
Within a few seconds, Sasuke had pushed Karin roughly against a nearby tree, his face expression nearly homicidal. He stared at her for awhile, not needing to say a word before he felt the girl fall slack against the tree, with a pitiful expression. He released her then but it was clear that he had reached the limit of his patience..
Suigetsu rolled his eyes, clearly being used to this, Sasuke’s uncontrollable attitude. He gave out a sigh before sitting across from Jugo, who was now preparing a campfire for the coming night.
“We’re setting camp here for tonight.” Sasuke snapped, his back towards them. “I’m going to go for a bit. Don’t follow me,” and with that, he began to walk calmly away into the forest...
***
Naruto raised his head and looked up at the cliff before him. It had been two hours since he’d left the reunion spot, sick of the weight on his chest that it gave him.
“I put all the trap location jutsu’s in the hideout…I might as well leave…”
Evening was approaching and he suddenly realized he wouldn’t make it make to Konoha in time.
“Great…now I get to sleep in a tree.”
Naruto jumped on the first sturdy branch he could find and took off his jacket. He doubted he’d get any sleep that night, so he decided he’d just stare at the sky till the crack of dawn, doing some chakra control exercises that Jiraiya taught him during their 2-year training trip. Naruto recalled the nights he’d slept outside staring at the sky during those extremely fast…but slow, days.
Time was running out…that’s how he felt as he would breathlessly practice his jutsu’s, over and over again. But time was still heavy, almost unbearable.
“Why do I feel so empty?”
***
Sasuke being in the forest now, could see that night was approaching fast. Despite the dangers of the woods during the night, it did not worry him in the least since he could easily kill an animal or two that could decide to charge at him. His priority now was to be alone, secluded from his group, especially when he felt weak as he did now. In a contradicting sense, he knew that his body was physically becoming stronger, allowing him to manage his chakra to its fullest capabilities without waste, but it was only temporary. Taking on the spell, in which he summoned himself was a chance he took, but a deadly one which would haunt him from years to come. Regardless, it was not within him to show his weak self in front of anybody and it was not something that he regretted. After all, he was willing to sacrifice himself many lifetimes over to achieve his goals and for his family’s honor.
Soon after, he had found a large boulder in which he managed to lie down on. He looked up above then, seeing now the beauty of the night sky.. Maybe for now, even for a little bit, he could relax...
By this time, the sky had turned pitch black, the only source of light coming from the nearby stars and the moon. Breathing out a small sigh, his eyes fluttered before closing as he began, rather unwillingly so, to remember the memories which he vowed to forget. He began to remember the times at the tender age of six, he was in a place similar to where he was now, enjoying the same scenery up above.
“Enjoying the scenery Sasuke?” Itachi murmured, his expression warm and caring. “We’re special you and I. We’re not like any other brot--
“FUCK YOU!!!” Sasuke suddenly screamed, snapping back to reality. He recklessly threw a powerful chiidori hard across the lake with his right arm, emenating a huge explosion, bending the trees. He half regretted it at first, wondering if he threw it in the direction of the camp, but returned back to his cold demeanor soon afterwards. Today was certainly not a good day for the younger Uchiha...
***
Naruto sprung up from the sudden rumble in the forest, causing the uprising of awaken birds. “What was THAT,” Naruto thought to himself, and descended the tree in the direction of the noise.
He came to a lake, not very large, hidden amongst bushes and tall trees aligned against a tall, stone crag. The dark blue water shimmered in the moonlight and trees had been swept away on the other side.
And there stood a figure. A black, ominous silhouette that made his heart jump against his ribcage.
“You…”
***
Sasuke, still distracted and torn within his thoughts had sourly decided to take it out on nature itself. He then began to undress his kimono, revealing his upper half. Muttering a spell, Sasuke let his genjutsu fall as the once smooth, pale skin began to become marred with ugly deep gashes, bruises and scars alike. Jumping below until he was in the shallow depths of the lake nearby, he stared at his own reflection under the moonlight, his face emotionless...
Naruto cautiously approached the figure, now having disappeared in the lake, who apparently had not noticed his presence. “What am I doing…” he thought as he came closer to the mysterious figure ,“I’m acting like Ero-Sennin…”. But he was too drawn to the figure to stop himself. Ducking behind the bushes not far off where the figure had entered the water, he squinted in the darkness.
Suddenly, the cloud half-blocking the moonlight shown on a pale, creamy white, back…tarnished with scars and purple blotches.
It was then that Sasuke felt a strange presence around him, a feeling that something was watching him…and he definitely did not like it. Whatever it was, whether it was a spy or an animal, he would have to kill it. He moved in lightning speed, leaping out of the water, noticing a certain dark mass behind the bushes, slowly moving.. Gritting his teeth, he didn’t hesitate to charge towards the figure beneath, smashing them harshly against the nearby boulder. However, his expression changed when he noticed who it was..
“Naruto..” he whispered hoarsely, backing away slightly.
Naruto winced as his back suddenly was jammed forcefully into the rock close behind him. He opened his eyes at the sound of the familiar voice uttering his name, and stared wide-eyed at the figure now pacing back from him.
“Sa..su-ke…what…” he stuttered as his eyes skimmed the other boy’s body in confusion. There stood Sasuke, dripping and half-clothed, covered in scars so severe they looked like flesh wounds, purple and blue bruises mixing with the white of his skin, contrasting with the blood-red light lit in his harsh eyes.
Noticing the state he was, Sasuke immediately masked himself in genjutsu again, his scars disappearing just as quickly as they had come. He hoped Naruto did not see the scars but knew that the chances that Naruto, even as an idiot to not notice, was next to nothing. He eyed Naruto darkly for a few seconds before grabbing his kimono shirt, turning his back on the blonde. “You must have a certain death wish…for being here, don’t you?..” Sasuke said somewhat mockingly though his throat felt dry and rough. He began to dress his upper half quietly still, though looking directly into Naruto’s pale blue eyes with his piercing sharingan.
Naruto stared dumbly as he slowly began to rise of his feet. “What were those…Sasuke?” he blattered out in a low, anxious voice, that came natural whenever he spoke to the missing nin. His hand shook but he hid it behind his back as moved closer to the boy in front of him. There was no reply and Naruto glared at the Uchiha, whose wet hair fell into his eyes,
“So are you going to kill me for good this time?”
Sasuke narrowed his eyes, the wheels in his eyes spinning in rhythm along with his heartbeat. He did not want to waste any more time with the blonde, having heard everything before but for some reason, he felt like he couldn’t leave..
“Do you really care what I think?...Hmm Naruto?..” he began, grimacing when he saw the boy fidget. Just why in the hell did he have to clash with Naruto of all people. It would have been so easy to kill if it was anybody else.. “Tch….you seem weaker than the last time I saw you..You don’t even seem worthy for me to kill anymore..” he muttered darkly with a smirk.
Naruto cringed at the word weak and pulled out his kunai, as if he had been teased by the Sasuke of the past. “Wanna try?” By this time Naruto had no idea of what to do, he just knew he had to keep the raven-haired boy’s attention as long as possible until he came up with a plan… “You don’t seem like you’re in better shape either,” he mumbled before he lunged at him.
Sasuke sneered before managing to quickly dodge Naruto’s attack, grabbing the boy’s arms in time to smash the blonde against the rock again. “Tell me why you’re here. I want to make this quick…because I’m sure your smart enough to already know my answer to your questions…” Sasuke whispered against Naruto’s ear, their bodies close now..
“S…Stupid” Naruto suddenly began to panic as his heart began to pound fast in his chest. “I already know I have to beat you senseless before I can drag you back.” With that he slid down to have a chance, though thin, to cause the Uchiha to loosen his rock-solid grip.
“Oh…maybe you do have some more strength in you than I thought…Naruto.” The Uchiha teen muttered, taking his time to then crush the blonde tighter against the wall with his knees. “As usual, you always talk the talk…but time and again, you fail to keep your words with me..” he said again, looking at Naruto quite condescendingly, as sparks of lightning began to flare dangerously against his skin.
Naruto did not reply and swiftly put his hands together in jutsu position. “Heh…he thinks I’m that stupid…” and with a poof his bunshin left a cloud in front of Sasuke, leaving the dark-haired nin in front of a boulder.
Sasuke gave out a small gasp, clenching his fists tightly against himself. He was already getting sick of this. “Kage-bushins….is that all you can ever do?...” he whispered, crushing his left arm against the boulder and with a spark, the boulder exploded, pieces flying everywhere. At that moment, he quickly summoned the fire jutsu in Naruto’s direction, debris and all, igniting an even bigger reaction.
Naruto smirked on how the bastard had been able to locate his original form immediately. “You really have a fiery temper…” he mumbled to himself and he summoned all the red chakra he could to resist the fire jutsu, like he had once at the Valley of the End. It was seriously difficult, and the strain that it had on his body was remarkable. When it finally finished, he fell to the ground panting.
As soon as Sasuke heard the thudding of the blonde’s body on the ground, he slid out the sword upon his back, charging furiously yet again. Without a word, he had Naruto pinned flat against the ground, with the tip of the sword upon the blonde nin’s throat. Sasuke pressed his knee bone threateningly against Naruto’s groin, his left arm in an awkward angle to hold the blonde’s head in place. “You…are pathetic. Give up on me and return to Konoha..” Sasuke spat.
Naruto gazed at Sasuke, sweating and ignoring the sword tip pressing lightly, though firmly, on his skin. His gaze then intensified and fully glared at Sasuke, “You’ll have to kill me” and he raised his hand to grab the raven-haired boy’s collar, pulling it close to his face, “You know I won’t,” he muttered under his breath as he stared into the blazing eyes on Sasuke’s grim face.
He shook a little, suddenly feeling the intensity of Sasuke’s body over him, and dropped his hand in attempt to think of a way of not getting himself killed.
Sasuke gave out a snort at how ridiculous the blonde was. “You’re like a dog…blindly following, not realizing when it has been abandoned..” he seethed, pushing the tip of the sword closer to Naruto’s skin, slashing across a bit of skin slowly. “If you won’t change your mind, perhaps this really will be the day you die Naruto…here and now.” Sasuke nodded to himself, shoving his knee into Naruto’s stomach agonizingly.
“I used to believe…that you were the only one I had no reason to kill…” he whispered, instinctively swiping up Naruto’s blood and giving it a taste.
Naruto’s eyes shimmered at those last words, though he was hardly able to breath. It wasn’t the first time he felt paralyzed by Sasuke’s words. It was like a horrible curse, that got worse and worse the more you moved. The more Sasuke pushed him away, the more the wanted him back. He could not let go, even if he wanted to. Something kept him…illusion or not.
“That’s ironic. I thought you said my death would have been worth something,” he laughed vacuously.
Sasuke stabbed his sword hard into the ground, right next to where Naruto’s head lay. He grabbed a fistful of the blonde’s hair, snapping the boy’s head back visciously. Crooning his face inwards, he stopped when he was only inches away from the boy’s face. “What you’re chasing is only a mere shadow of who you thought I used to be…but in the end, you know NOTHING about me,” Sasuke murmured, his voice guttural and harsh through years of puberty.
Naruto shivered as he felt Sasuke’s breath on his neck and let out a gripe as the pale figure, so vivid even if his eyesight became blurry, pulled back on his hair. He began to twist violently as if he were impelled by those words, thrashing against the leg that pinned his stomach to the ground.
Sasuke stared down at the helpless blonde beneath him, somehow enjoying the power he had over him. But to his dismay, he realized that Naruto still had something within him that always seem to catch his attention, more than anybody else. Even amongst his deeply private and heart-wrenching moments, he remembered seeing a certain blonde inside his mind…calling, reaching for him.. He had to admit that the blonde had disturbed him yet again, robbing him of his priorities…
For reasons that he could not explain, his expression changed then, to becoming as it usually was, stoic and careless. He loosened his grip on the blonde’s hair locks slightly, but shifting so his lips were inches above Naruto’s ear. “We can’t go back to the past….dobe,” he whispered, realizing that he had uttered a word again that seemed foreign to his mouth, an affectionate name he used to call the blonde once upon a time back in Konoha. He noticed the blonde’s body shuddering then.
Naruto’s eye-sight seemed to suddenly return to him and stopped struggling as he felt blood rise to his face. “That’s why we should…build a future…” he croaked out, voice raspy from the lack of breath. Naruto couldn’t just let Sasuke be buddies with a body-snatching snake freak that wanted to destroy Konoha. He swore he would bring him back. But what was this queasiness? Sasuke’s voice was intoxicating…
“Isn’t your past what keeps you away in the first place?”
Even though Sasuke was somewhat relieved at the fact that the boy had stopped resisting, he felt his body go numb at the mention of his past. “A future huh…” he whispered darkly, his eyes full of spite and hate. “Naruto…do you know why I say that you are naïve?..” he said again, his eyes glinting abnormally. Before the blonde could utter another word, Sasuke had shifted in a lightning speed, smashing Naruto against a nearby tree deeper within the forest. Making certain that the blonde’s eyes were on him the whole time, the dark nin began to slide off his hakama, and with a silent uttering of spells, his genjutsu fell yet again. Now directly under the moonlight, the painful scars shown more clearly than ever, some of them fresh and raw as blood oozed out of the gashes, dripping on the grass below. He put his hands together, forming a seal… and with the quick jab of his fingertips against Naruto’s forehead, he resumed on the chants of the upcoming deadly jutsu…
“Say what you want…bastard….I know pain when I see it,” he was barely able to mutter, succumbing to the weird chants of the raven-haired nin, “keep running away, if that makes you feel better…you know-”. With that he no longer said anything and saw darkness all around him.
***
“What…” Naruto felt a chill go down his spine in the vacant area, that went on endlessly but to no where he could see. A noise, like that of a door slamming, drone in the distance. He saw something on the ground not far away.
Hesitation washed over him, but it was probably better not to stand there doing nothing. He approached as began to make out a pool or red…liquid. His eyes caught a glimpse of pink and he broke into a sprint as he recognized three bodies…it was Team Yamato…covered in blood. But one wasn’t dead…actually he was staring at him with his plain, emotionless face.
“I told you”.
“I told you.. that Sasuke will never come back to us..” A now bodiless and motionless Sai murmured, his head fully decapitated on the ground, fresh entrails and bowels strewn around everywhere. “Look what you did…because of you and your foolishness…look what we’ve become…” Sai’s head spoke, his voice cold yet disturbed.
Naruto opened his mouth, but no words came out. In fact, he had nothing to say. It was already obvious. He wasn’t even sure he would have stopped wanting Sasuke even knowing before-hand. But this was too much…far too much…
He flinched, but not in pain.
Utter horror.
“It’s your fault….everything..” another voice hoarsely whispered, coming from a nearly severed head of Sakura. Her skull had been split open, residue trickling down her slashed left eye socket slowly….slowly. “If only you were able to keep your promise that time…to me…to bring Sasuke-kun back… I wouldn’t be like this…you let your friends down, you let ME down..” she murmured, blood and transparent liquid trailing down her already pitiful lips.
“You should…at least kill Sasuke…or be killed,” Sai smirked.
Naruto couldn’t hear anything. He was falling, falling…
“…all I have left…” His mind whispered to him as he felt Kyubbi’s chakra fill him like fire.
“You…”
He stood in front of the gate, staring at the seal. This time there was no uncertainty.
The kyuubi was visible then, his glare threatening, piercing through every part of the blonde’s being. The demon licked its fangs… “When things get rough, all you do is come back for more..? You should just admit…you can’t do anything without me…” the kyuubi rumbled, his voice harsh and demeaning.
“Arrogant beast…I’m not here for you”.
“Do not LIE in front of me.…I can feel your anger, turmoil and all of your emotions coursing through me....Now…what do you seek?” The great fox growled out, his voice monstrous.
“Just give me your chakra and shut up,” Naruto hissed at the fox, “Or I’ll end it for both of us”.
The kyuubi gave out a powerful, yet threatening laugh then, his sharp fangs protruding out dangerously. “End it?...It seems that you can’t even save Sasuke… Naruto, you are a fool. You do not realize what the Uchiha can do to me…to both of us. Have you forgotten?..”
Naruto looked down and opened his mouth again, “Give me your chakra.”
“Tsk…tch…tsk….Your recklessness will be the end for you….and for everyone else you care about. However..” the kyuubi hissed, his eyes menacing as he slammed his claws against the cage that held him back, “I am more than happy to take over your body….once and for all”.
“Well too bad...I won’t let you,” the blonde snapped back. “If you don’t want me to commit suicide trying, you better be more cooperative.”
“Haha…you shall see young fool.…do not underestimate me..” the monster muttered again before clawing the cage viciously, acknowledging the blonde’s optimism before him. “You better not regret this pup….It will only take one mistake until the end of you….Now, Release me!! ” His voice boomed, the cage rattling against the sheer weight of the fox’s body until finally cracking open…
Naruto was taken aback while he saw the seal rip, but not completely, and the chakra took over him. “Aaaargh!!” He fell down on his knees as his hands crossed over his abdomen in torment. Consciousness was leaving...but his mind was still concentrated on one thing: Sasuke.
***
drip…drip…
Sasuke stood there within an ambiguous environment, stoic and still, fully aware that the blonde would find him soon. He had created this strange environment which would resemble a forest more than anything else, indistinct and cold…This would surely suck out most of the chakra out of the dark nin after all when he awoke, this being the most powerful genjutsu he had ever performed… Without the forbidden jutsu which controlled his being in reality, there was no way he could have performed such an incredible spell such as this….He knew in this dream state of his, he would feel no physical pain and could potentially do anything he desired….
Blood still dripped from within his wounds, coating the ground below him. But strangely, it did not hurt. He gave out an irritated breath, wondering how long it will be until he could hold up the genjutsu any longer…Even still, he knew he still had long ways to go…to ultimately become stronger, and stronger…
***
Naruto, or rather, he and Kyubbi, quickly skimmed the trees that now surrounded them. The presence of Sasuke was near, though barely perceptible in the strange, foggy, area they ended up in. Memory of the dead bodies of his teammates flashed Naruto’s memory again and caused him to move faster...but also something else inside him was boiling. This time the chakra was far more than he had ever “borrowed” from Kyuubi, but his mind was strangely present.
***
Sasuke shifted, leaning against one of the nearby trees he had created silently. He was sure that Naruto could sense his presence by now, for he could feel the wrath of power from not only the blonde but of the great Fox demon as well. “Damn fool…” he muttered, knowing that even within this illusion itself, the amount of chakra one used would affect their body when they awoke thereafter. He knew that the blonde was risking his life by combining with the kyuubi, especially since the fox could now very well overpower the boy’s body if Naruto faltered behind..
However, Sasuke’s intention was clear and precise for he had set up this genjutsu to distract and hinder Naruto’s correct train of thought and to cause turmoil within the blonde’s heart. He had personally also wanted to test the power of the blonde against him... This was proof that their rivalry was still ever strong…even if Sasuke seemed sure, that the blonde was far weaker than him. He concluded then that Naruto would lose if he failed to break the genjutsu on his own…And if this happened…. Sasuke narrowed his eyes to slits, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill Naruto, to rid of him once and for all. But first…he had an idea in his mind…and he hoped the blonde would fall right under his trap…
***
He finally reached him, and stood off a good enough distance as his eyes focused on the youngest surviving Uchiha. Naruto’s body was still in human form, but his skin was flushed and his eye’s were an angry red. Chakra emanated from his body like fire and gave him a threatening appearance. But his face wasn’t threatening at all, it was actually sneering at him, as if it had caught a prey.
“So you’re finally here. Naruto…” Sasuke murmured, his sharingan shimmering even within the dark environment. “Do you know where you are?..” he asked, his voice strangely calm and soft.
“Does it really matter…? I’m dragging you home anyway,” Naruto growled, a bit thrown off by Sasuke’s sudden change in demeanor. He seemed to be getting ready to charge at Sasuke, until the look in Sasuke’s eyes made his stomache turn. “Why is he so different all the sudden?” he pushed away his thoughts and began to rush towards the raven-haired ninja, whose eyes were still concentrated on him.
Without a word, Sasuke dodged Naruto’s attack, though barely so, and managed an iron hold of the blonde’s wrist. They were caught in an awkward angle from the sudden change of position but Sasuke’s gaze into Naruto’s eyes still remained ever so soft. “I’ve pulled you into my dream…and you won’t be able to get out,” he whispered, still calm.
Naruto could feel himself grow more impatient as he growled some more “Still going to beat your ass!” tugging wildly to free his wrist.
From this reaction, Sasuke spun around face to face with the blonde. Never taking his eyes off Naruto, he slammed the smaller boy against yet another tree as he closed his eyes, letting the curse seal take over. He felt power surge through him as he felt his body undergo its transformation. At last, he reached out his right hand and managed to touch Naruto’s neck, hot to the touch, claws brushing lightly against the boy’s fair skin. “I can create whatever I want in this dream if it be my will….and yours too..” he whispered, stretching his wings and shading them both against the tree tighter. All through this, Sasuke felt his patience near its end, the act proving difficult for the Uchiha to carry on, but his main goal at this point was to ease the kyuubi away from the blonde’s body…
Naruto shivered as he felt the claws brush against his skin, leaving a spot that burned more than the rest of his body. He decided to ignore it and aimed his right hand, free, straight at Sasuke’s nose - he hated that transformation. It made him even more nervous as he felt himself being pressed against the tree.
Sasuke flinched and jumped away from where he was, expecting this reaction at first. Blood dripped from where Naruto had managed to cut him, the side of his cheek gashed open, marring his handsome face. However, he did not fight back and rushed to where the blonde was, noticing the blonde’s fear and confusion. “How do you feel for me..?..” he whispered, the wound on his cheek already beginning to heal due to chakra. He clawed into the tree beside Naruto’s head, his hand trembling to maintain his posture.
Naruto’s eyes shot open at the question and the red grew fainter in his eyes. “W-what?” The blonde seemed to being staring out and not at him, who was inches from his face. “I...must....bring you home, Sasuke!!” and he suddenly grabbed the rope that was fastened around the Uchiha’s kimono, trying to throw him off balance. It failed to, and merely undid the Uchiha’s obi.
Sasuke stood there silently, watching as another piece of his clothing thud to the grass below. “…You fool…” Sasuke seethed out, but inching closer and closer towards the blonde, even still knowing that he was making Naruto more nervous with each passing second. “You’re not going to win this retarded battle dobe….because I’m not going to fight you.” He concluded, his words sounding sincere. All he could do was to intently stare into the Naruto’s eyes…hoping to see the blue return to them…
Naruto felt his determination melt away but knew he couldn’t let his guard down. Sasuke was simply NOT trust-worthy, though Naruto always helplessly kept hope in him anyway. “Prove it, teme” he snarled as he grabbed the raven-haired boy’s wrists, “Take us out of this shit-hole and I might believe you.” He could hear Kyuubi protesting in his mind telling him he was being a fool, but he simply did not care... “If you keep him in here, he’ll finish his chakra, I can feel it,” he heard the fox’s voice hiss in his mind, “He obviously wants me to withdraw.” Naruto thought for a second but felt like the situation was liveable...he really wasn’t in the mood for facing Sasuke with Kyuubi...especially when he was acting so....strange.
“I’ll prove it alright you irritating dumbshit…I will be rid of you completely…so you can never again interfere in my goals….” Sasuke thought, though making sure to not let his face betray Naruto’s trust. “I can’t…until you have forgiven me.” Sasuke muttered, though clearly lying through his teeth. His real intention was to keep Naruto under his genjutsu to drain Naruto of his chakra, for as long as it takes. If he succeeded, Sasuke would be able to gain the blonde’s power even without consent…and that would weaken the blonde so much he could easily take his life. Amidst all of this, the dark nin knew he was willingly taking advantage of the blonde, enough to ruin him forever. Playing dirty was never his first choice, but unfortunately, Sasuke had reached his limit and was prepared to do anything to rid of any form of a hindrance, even his once best friend.
“Since when have you become such a fat liar?” Naruto could feel Sasuke was toying with him, he knew his ex-bestfriend too well to believe Sasuke suddenly wanted his forgiveness. But Kyuubi’s chakra had almost totally left him, and he was beginning to feel extreme fatigue...even if Sasuke surely made him forget about it. He raised his arms , wrapping them slowly around the other boy’s neck, “Does this show I forgive you?”
Sasuke’s breath hitched in his throat, faltering. He didn’t expect the boy to embrace him.. He stood there awkwardly for a moment, seeing the blood on his body seep into Naruto’s clothes.. Although fortunately for the young Uchiha, he knew Naruto was already beginning to willingly give in, only urging Sasuke to coax this further... “If you think I was lying...then why are you hugging me?..” Sasuke whispered, pulling away briefly to entwine his claws into Naruto’s hair. He could see the sapphire returning into the blonde’s eyes, the red dissipating...
Naruto remained expressionless as the other boy’s fingers fisted in his hair. “Maybe cos I want to,” he replied flatly. Then suddenly he jammed his fingers on a pressure point behind Sasuke’s neck, causing the Uchiha to waver allowing him to free himself from his grip fairly easily. “Or maybe to do this,” he concluded as the Sasuke eyed him dangerously.
“Tch...perhaps you weren’t as naïve as I thought you were...but still-” Sasuke agreed, his expression becoming dark through his tough, silver locks of hair hiding part of his face. He flexed his arms and fingers, stretching his claws out to intimidate. “You’re still a complete, and total loser...” he hissed before taking hold of Naruto’s neck, drawing blood. “I’m getting tired of this..” he finished, his expression murderous.
Once again Sasuke had his eyes focused on the other boy’s neck and Naruto was beginning to get sick of fighting with him. “Why don’t you calm down a little” was all able Naruto was able to mutter as strength kept abandoning him, and his head rested on the raven-haired boy’s shoulder, “You know I’m weaker when I’m facing you...” Naruto’s voice trailed off as his body seemed to react to that sentence. A sudden flare of chakra caused Sasuke to remove his hands from his neck and Kyuubi was now coming back to his body. “But I’m not letting you go Sasuke, not again-” two red, angry eyes flashed at him, but this time his expression seemed hurt.
“Tch…I knew you were too much of an idiot to understand anything…” Sasuke hissed back, disappointed that his efforts had failed in calming the blonde. But even now, Sasuke was sick and tired of keeping up the false attitude…and he knew he had no other way but to be serious. “You always wish for my return…but do you honestly think I’m ready to return? To Konoha…to YOU?” he muttered, giving out a harsh chuckle as he flexed his fingers, cracking the bones to prepare for a possible fight. “I was able to let you go…you can’t because you’re weak. You suffer in your own bonds over and over again…” he said again, his wings spreading high above, though folding to shade his body…
Naruto stared as he listened to the words he never wanted to hear.
I was able to let you go…you can’t because you’re weak.
“Why do you keep pushing me away, Sasuke!?” the blonde roared at him, glaring at him in fury. With a deft movement he began tugging violently at the young Uchiha’s arm. The marks on his cheeks were becoming more conspicuous as he shouted.
“How long does it take you to finish me off!?” he shook him as he began to sway and mutter under his breath. “…B-bastard…you’re just playing…” he then let out as if enlightened. He abruptly let go of the arm and covered his eyes as if to prevent tears from rolling down his face and rose his right fist, slamming it hard on the other boy’s chest, “Stop…stop ignoring me!!” he screamed exasperatedly as he pulled the Uchiha close his face. His rage rose as Sasuke remained impassive and silent, causing his entire being to tremble. But for some reason the other wasn’t moving or pushing him off, so nothing prevented the delivery of the second punch, this time aimed at the face, that was still under the effect of the curse seal…
Sasuke gave out a gasp, not expecting to see the blonde react so violently…so DESPERATE.. He felt his body become entirely stiff as soon as he felt the boy’s arms wrap around him again in attack, not being used to this kind of sensation at all.. However he managed slip out and dodge most of the blonde’s moves, them being clumsy since Naruto was acting quite rash at this point…
“Shut..UP!!!” Sasuke suddenly screamed, kicking the blonde’s legs as they both awkwardly fell to the floor, limbs tangled. The Uchiha’s claws were at the ready, inches away from ripping out Naruto’s vocal cord. “Stop saying things like that…” he hoarsely whispered, his eyes piercing into the blonde’s holding menace.. Naruto was sprawled beneath him now with Sasuke on his knees, staring down at him now clearly infuriated.
He panted before lowering his head to croon into the side of Naruto’s neck only to whisper, “Why is it so hard for you to hate me…you fool…”
Tears that had already been building up behind Naruto’s eyes poured down as he closed his eyes and his arms went limp. “I…” he winced at the rest of the words that were only said in his head. “I-already told you…”. He didn’t know what to say anymore. He just felt helpless, utterly helpless, rejected and undesired for the millionth time.
All the dark nin could do was to be still, his breath harsh against Naruto’s trembling neck. He didn’t know what was possessing him but he felt he couldn’t continue… at least he couldn’t continue this fight when Naruto was helplessly crying like this. He was silent for awhile, hearing the pained weeping of the boy growing louder by the second. Sasuke had to conclude that this was the first time he had ever seen the idiot cry like this, and he did not know how to react…
“Fool….I was the one who told you…that bonds will only make you suffer…that’s why you’re crying for me…Me, who doesn’t even deserve your tears…You’re weak…” he murmured against the boy’s jaws, nearly pressing his lips against the collar bone then. Pushing his body off the blonde briefly, he touched the tip of his fingers onto the blonde’s forehead, whispering a series of spells into Naruto’s ear as their world became dark once more….
***
Naruto’s eyes flashed open and he collapsed to the ground, staring at it in shock. His hand reached to touch his neck, where there no longer was the breath of the Uchiha, whose legs were in front of him. He didn’t feel like looking up, he felt exhausted, and wasn’t in the mood to bear the raven-haired boy’s harsh gaze any longer. “And now?” His thoughts raced as he started panic, he couldn’t let Sasuke leave, but at the same time he felt like he wasn’t able to stop him. What had changed? Why was he paralyzed…
Although Sasuke had been transformed within the dream, he knew he would regain his original body once the spell broke; as he had noticed that the blonde was not his Kyuubi self any longer. He stared at the boy’s slouched form for awhile, their bodies close before he backed away abruptly, coughing up a violent series of blood towards the ground…He had used too much of his power all at once to perform the genjutsu….the effects were merely the consequences that Sasuke knew would affect his body…
“Sasuke!!” Naruto’s head snapped up as saw the boy cough up blood onto the ground. He dashed towards him, totally forgetting the situation they were in, and kneeled over Sasuke in anxiety. “Is that jutsu the cause-”
But the blonde was cut off unexpectedly, for his lips were sealed in a brutal kiss. Sasuke was sure the boy would taste the blood as he felt their teeth clashing harshly together, but he didn’t care….more so he COULDN’T care. He felt powerless to stop himself….but he felt as if he was desperate…desperate to fill in the painful void within his soul. He grunted as he pushed Naruto further against the tree, breaking the kiss briefly before stabbing his tongue inside again…falling…falling into the depths of forbidden desire.
Surprised would be the least to describe how Naruto felt, but his mouth had slipped open almost automatically as he pressed back breathlessly into the kiss, painfully wanting more the more Sasuke pried his mouth. Their lips feverously twirled over each other as he sucked in air desperately in between each different angle, the rest of his skin burning at the touch of the other’s and his hands rasping against it. He sucked on Sasuke’s mouth until his own moan broke their lips apart. “Your leg…”. It was kneading against his crotch… All his thoughts were flying out of his mind like birds, vanishing in the distance leaving only a clear sky…mind-blowing.
“Sasu-ke…” He gasped as he felt kisses trail down his neck and shuddered at the unexpected touch. An explosion of heat spread over his neck and his face burned as he was overwhelmed…by Sasuke.
Is this how it felt to be loved in return? But anxiety still ate at his heart, needing words, a promise, anything to confirm that this was…mutual.
Sasuke began kissing him again, twice as brutally, pressing his body firmly against his.
Since when he had felt this? This pull towards the other boy’s body, that is. And why was Sasuke doing this to him in the first place? He could feel a sudden anguish wash over him as he turned his face away from Sasuke, detaching their swollen lips. Panting, he didn’t have the courage to look into Sasuke’s eyes…afraid to see nothing of which he’d secretly always hoped for…
You’re not alone anymore…
“Ugnn….” Sasuke groaned out as well, his voice deep and guttural, resonating through both of their bodies through their passionate lip lock. Any logic would have demanded that he stop doing this….but he couldn’t bring himself to stop. All of this was so sudden, and neither of them barely had any time to think reasonably.
“ …look at me…” he said out huskily, his pupils dilated and lustful as he grabbed one of Naruto’s arms tightly, though taking the other hand to grab the boy’s head to angle it so they were facing each other..
“You….ruin me. Making me do something like this…. Why aren’t you resisting this?..” He began, surprised the boy didn’t rip him apart with absolute revulsion. He trailed his fingers down the boy’s top quickly, ripping open the blonde’s jacket though making sure his eyes didn’t leave Naruto’s troubled face…
Naruto’s breath continued to increase as he felt the yank at his clothes and the other’s eyes pour into his… So dark and deep, though they now glistened at him. He couldn’t really believe this was happening, and almost expected a trap…but who cared? Was there anything he wanted in the world so much that wasn’t Sasuke?
Naruto felt his desperation increase at these thoughts. Of course he didn’t resist. Who would resist the person that filled their most inner-loneliness? He missed Sasuke so much he practically wanted to be him… Whenever he was with him, the world seemed timeless. And the bond. That invisible string that he felt that tied them together. He wanted to hear…that Sasuke was still aware of it too.
“Sa-suke…do you…really want me?” His voice cracked and heavy as he felt hands on his chest.
As soon as Sasuke picked up on those words, he felt a certain bulge in his pants grow… His eyes widened, his face flustered.. Could it be? That all those nights in which all he had was himself amidst Orochimaru’s dark chambers in which he relieved himself and giving into pleasure….who was he thinking of? A certain shade of a blonde figure built inside his mind before he would explode into climax…
“…If you don’t resist me.….I don’t know what I might do..” he murmured, feeling definitely insecure. He had never felt such mixed up feelings for somebody like this before, not to mention he had never done this with anyone else….only times having been private masturbations. Even then, he didn’t understand why he succumbed into those feelings….perhaps sexual desires were part of human nature. He suddenly wondered if the blonde had done this before.. and a stab of jealousy jolted his heart. “What is wrong with me….” he thought wildly, as he instinctively ripped Naruto’s tanktop away revealing the tanned boy’s chest, not having the patience..
Naruto closed his eyes as he felt Sasuke’s chest rub against his, feeling the boy’s heart beat fast and his lips against the lower side of his neck. His insides turned as the lower half of his body yearned for more. Now he couldn’t keep his attention off of it, after what Sasuke said. His hands trembled with emotion as he brought them down Sasuke’s lower back, caressing slowly.
Somehow he wished this moment could last forever, no matter how sappy thoughts like that sounded. The embrace tightened and Naruto could feel warm liquid dripping down his checks without any reflex to cause it. It would end. But the memory was forever…
The Uchiha teen’s butterfly kisses upon Naruto’s soft neck became more severe as he began to suck on the skin there, sliding his tongue against it brutally…surely to leave love marks. Then he looked above, noticing that the blonde was crying yet again. He grimaced, knowing he couldn’t fix anything…the painful bond that Naruto was desperately trying to hold on to was destroying them both…
Instead of saying anything, Sasuke licked at Naruto’s face, licking away the tears one by one. He trailed his rough hands and held Naruto’s naked waist, rubbing the boy’s back up and down before burying his face into the blonde’s neck…
“I’m going to take you….if you aren’t going to stop me..” he whispered, already beginning to play with the buckles of Naruto’s pants…
The blonde boy’s face turned several shades of crimson before speaking, “Already…you…have me.”
And maybe he always will.
Me (Naruto's POV)
Naruto © Masashi Kishimoto
Naruto walked down the rocky path as he squinted at the horizon leaking sun rays into his sensitive blue eyes.
“Teme” was the only word that occupied his mind at the moment.
He climbed up the rocky slope until he reached the circular, melancholy area, where he had last saw his bestfriend.
Ex-bestfriend.
He lowered his hand to touch the ground as he was buried in thought.
Where...
***
Sakura picked up the papers from the Fifth Hokage’s desk and blindly stacked them in a pile. Her mind was totally elsewhere as she organized the medical files. Suddenly her eye wondered and caught a word that drew her attention.
“Secret jutsu”.
She looked down puzzledly, surprised to see accounts on secret jutsu’s among clinical papers. Her eyes skimmed the page as she began to shake.
“Naruto..”
***
Uchiha Sasuke stood silently upon a cliff, the surrounding sea sending waves thundering against the rocks below. “Leave me,” Sasuke ordered the Hebi, a group of people whom he hardly would call as friends. They began to trot away quietly then, leaving him during his times of contemplation. At times like these, the loneliness he felt was merciless, as he tried time and again to focus his thoughts to something other than the emptiness he felt within his heart. He would rather die than admit something such as this without a doubt, for keeping secrets was his specialty. “Argh!..” he grunted suddenly, falling to his knees as he coughed up a series of blood, soiling the ground.
Dammit..” he rasped quietly to himself, clutching his chest to calm down his heavy breathing. He was used to this now, after enduring it ever so often. The spell was indeed, brutal to his body and he knew, that his life span was to be drastically limited.
“Sasuke..? what’s wrong? are you-” began Karin, who failed yet again to be apart from the raven-haired nin for long. “I’m fine..now get the fuck away from me, I thought I already made that clear,” Sasuke barked, the red pools of sharingan in his eyes glinting menacingly. He was definitely not in a good mood.
“Karin... just leave him be. All you ever wanna do is fuck him..Tch..” Suigetsu replied tauntingly as he began to chuckle when he saw the expression on Karin’s face.
“SHUT THE FUCK UP SUIGETSU, MIND YOUR OWN GODDAMN BUSINESS!!” Karin retorted, her face flustered wildly with embarrassment.
Within a few seconds, Sasuke had pushed Karin roughly against a nearby tree, his face expression nearly homicidal. He stared at her for awhile, not needing to say a word before he felt the girl fall slack against the tree, with a pitiful expression. He released her then but it was clear that he had reached the limit of his patience..
Suigetsu rolled his eyes, clearly being used to this, Sasuke’s uncontrollable attitude. He gave out a sigh before sitting across from Jugo, who was now preparing a campfire for the coming night.
“We’re setting camp here for tonight.” Sasuke snapped, his back towards them. “I’m going to go for a bit. Don’t follow me,” and with that, he began to walk calmly away into the forest...
***
Naruto raised his head and looked up at the cliff before him. It had been two hours since he’d left the reunion spot, sick of the weight on his chest that it gave him.
“I put all the trap location jutsu’s in the hideout…I might as well leave…”
Evening was approaching and he suddenly realized he wouldn’t make it make to Konoha in time.
“Great…now I get to sleep in a tree.”
Naruto jumped on the first sturdy branch he could find and took off his jacket. He doubted he’d get any sleep that night, so he decided he’d just stare at the sky till the crack of dawn, doing some chakra control exercises that Jiraiya taught him during their 2-year training trip. Naruto recalled the nights he’d slept outside staring at the sky during those extremely fast…but slow, days.
Time was running out…that’s how he felt as he would breathlessly practice his jutsu’s, over and over again. But time was still heavy, almost unbearable.
“Why do I feel so empty?”
***
Sasuke being in the forest now, could see that night was approaching fast. Despite the dangers of the woods during the night, it did not worry him in the least since he could easily kill an animal or two that could decide to charge at him. His priority now was to be alone, secluded from his group, especially when he felt weak as he did now. In a contradicting sense, he knew that his body was physically becoming stronger, allowing him to manage his chakra to its fullest capabilities without waste, but it was only temporary. Taking on the spell, in which he summoned himself was a chance he took, but a deadly one which would haunt him from years to come. Regardless, it was not within him to show his weak self in front of anybody and it was not something that he regretted. After all, he was willing to sacrifice himself many lifetimes over to achieve his goals and for his family’s honor.
Soon after, he had found a large boulder in which he managed to lie down on. He looked up above then, seeing now the beauty of the night sky.. Maybe for now, even for a little bit, he could relax...
By this time, the sky had turned pitch black, the only source of light coming from the nearby stars and the moon. Breathing out a small sigh, his eyes fluttered before closing as he began, rather unwillingly so, to remember the memories which he vowed to forget. He began to remember the times at the tender age of six, he was in a place similar to where he was now, enjoying the same scenery up above.
“Enjoying the scenery Sasuke?” Itachi murmured, his expression warm and caring. “We’re special you and I. We’re not like any other brot--
“FUCK YOU!!!” Sasuke suddenly screamed, snapping back to reality. He recklessly threw a powerful chiidori hard across the lake with his right arm, emenating a huge explosion, bending the trees. He half regretted it at first, wondering if he threw it in the direction of the camp, but returned back to his cold demeanor soon afterwards. Today was certainly not a good day for the younger Uchiha...
***
Naruto sprung up from the sudden rumble in the forest, causing the uprising of awaken birds. “What was THAT,” Naruto thought to himself, and descended the tree in the direction of the noise.
He came to a lake, not very large, hidden amongst bushes and tall trees aligned against a tall, stone crag. The dark blue water shimmered in the moonlight and trees had been swept away on the other side.
And there stood a figure. A black, ominous silhouette that made his heart jump against his ribcage.
“You…”
***
Sasuke, still distracted and torn within his thoughts had sourly decided to take it out on nature itself. He then began to undress his kimono, revealing his upper half. Muttering a spell, Sasuke let his genjutsu fall as the once smooth, pale skin began to become marred with ugly deep gashes, bruises and scars alike. Jumping below until he was in the shallow depths of the lake nearby, he stared at his own reflection under the moonlight, his face emotionless...
Naruto cautiously approached the figure, now having disappeared in the lake, who apparently had not noticed his presence. “What am I doing…” he thought as he came closer to the mysterious figure ,“I’m acting like Ero-Sennin…”. But he was too drawn to the figure to stop himself. Ducking behind the bushes not far off where the figure had entered the water, he squinted in the darkness.
Suddenly, the cloud half-blocking the moonlight shown on a pale, creamy white, back…tarnished with scars and purple blotches.
It was then that Sasuke felt a strange presence around him, a feeling that something was watching him…and he definitely did not like it. Whatever it was, whether it was a spy or an animal, he would have to kill it. He moved in lightning speed, leaping out of the water, noticing a certain dark mass behind the bushes, slowly moving.. Gritting his teeth, he didn’t hesitate to charge towards the figure beneath, smashing them harshly against the nearby boulder. However, his expression changed when he noticed who it was..
“Naruto..” he whispered hoarsely, backing away slightly.
Naruto winced as his back suddenly was jammed forcefully into the rock close behind him. He opened his eyes at the sound of the familiar voice uttering his name, and stared wide-eyed at the figure now pacing back from him.
“Sa..su-ke…what…” he stuttered as his eyes skimmed the other boy’s body in confusion. There stood Sasuke, dripping and half-clothed, covered in scars so severe they looked like flesh wounds, purple and blue bruises mixing with the white of his skin, contrasting with the blood-red light lit in his harsh eyes.
Noticing the state he was, Sasuke immediately masked himself in genjutsu again, his scars disappearing just as quickly as they had come. He hoped Naruto did not see the scars but knew that the chances that Naruto, even as an idiot to not notice, was next to nothing. He eyed Naruto darkly for a few seconds before grabbing his kimono shirt, turning his back on the blonde. “You must have a certain death wish…for being here, don’t you?..” Sasuke said somewhat mockingly though his throat felt dry and rough. He began to dress his upper half quietly still, though looking directly into Naruto’s pale blue eyes with his piercing sharingan.
Naruto stared dumbly as he slowly began to rise of his feet. “What were those…Sasuke?” he blattered out in a low, anxious voice, that came natural whenever he spoke to the missing nin. His hand shook but he hid it behind his back as moved closer to the boy in front of him. There was no reply and Naruto glared at the Uchiha, whose wet hair fell into his eyes,
“So are you going to kill me for good this time?”
Sasuke narrowed his eyes, the wheels in his eyes spinning in rhythm along with his heartbeat. He did not want to waste any more time with the blonde, having heard everything before but for some reason, he felt like he couldn’t leave..
“Do you really care what I think?...Hmm Naruto?..” he began, grimacing when he saw the boy fidget. Just why in the hell did he have to clash with Naruto of all people. It would have been so easy to kill if it was anybody else.. “Tch….you seem weaker than the last time I saw you..You don’t even seem worthy for me to kill anymore..” he muttered darkly with a smirk.
Naruto cringed at the word weak and pulled out his kunai, as if he had been teased by the Sasuke of the past. “Wanna try?” By this time Naruto had no idea of what to do, he just knew he had to keep the raven-haired boy’s attention as long as possible until he came up with a plan… “You don’t seem like you’re in better shape either,” he mumbled before he lunged at him.
Sasuke sneered before managing to quickly dodge Naruto’s attack, grabbing the boy’s arms in time to smash the blonde against the rock again. “Tell me why you’re here. I want to make this quick…because I’m sure your smart enough to already know my answer to your questions…” Sasuke whispered against Naruto’s ear, their bodies close now..
“S…Stupid” Naruto suddenly began to panic as his heart began to pound fast in his chest. “I already know I have to beat you senseless before I can drag you back.” With that he slid down to have a chance, though thin, to cause the Uchiha to loosen his rock-solid grip.
“Oh…maybe you do have some more strength in you than I thought…Naruto.” The Uchiha teen muttered, taking his time to then crush the blonde tighter against the wall with his knees. “As usual, you always talk the talk…but time and again, you fail to keep your words with me..” he said again, looking at Naruto quite condescendingly, as sparks of lightning began to flare dangerously against his skin.
Naruto did not reply and swiftly put his hands together in jutsu position. “Heh…he thinks I’m that stupid…” and with a poof his bunshin left a cloud in front of Sasuke, leaving the dark-haired nin in front of a boulder.
Sasuke gave out a small gasp, clenching his fists tightly against himself. He was already getting sick of this. “Kage-bushins….is that all you can ever do?...” he whispered, crushing his left arm against the boulder and with a spark, the boulder exploded, pieces flying everywhere. At that moment, he quickly summoned the fire jutsu in Naruto’s direction, debris and all, igniting an even bigger reaction.
Naruto smirked on how the bastard had been able to locate his original form immediately. “You really have a fiery temper…” he mumbled to himself and he summoned all the red chakra he could to resist the fire jutsu, like he had once at the Valley of the End. It was seriously difficult, and the strain that it had on his body was remarkable. When it finally finished, he fell to the ground panting.
As soon as Sasuke heard the thudding of the blonde’s body on the ground, he slid out the sword upon his back, charging furiously yet again. Without a word, he had Naruto pinned flat against the ground, with the tip of the sword upon the blonde nin’s throat. Sasuke pressed his knee bone threateningly against Naruto’s groin, his left arm in an awkward angle to hold the blonde’s head in place. “You…are pathetic. Give up on me and return to Konoha..” Sasuke spat.
Naruto gazed at Sasuke, sweating and ignoring the sword tip pressing lightly, though firmly, on his skin. His gaze then intensified and fully glared at Sasuke, “You’ll have to kill me” and he raised his hand to grab the raven-haired boy’s collar, pulling it close to his face, “You know I won’t,” he muttered under his breath as he stared into the blazing eyes on Sasuke’s grim face.
He shook a little, suddenly feeling the intensity of Sasuke’s body over him, and dropped his hand in attempt to think of a way of not getting himself killed.
Sasuke gave out a snort at how ridiculous the blonde was. “You’re like a dog…blindly following, not realizing when it has been abandoned..” he seethed, pushing the tip of the sword closer to Naruto’s skin, slashing across a bit of skin slowly. “If you won’t change your mind, perhaps this really will be the day you die Naruto…here and now.” Sasuke nodded to himself, shoving his knee into Naruto’s stomach agonizingly.
“I used to believe…that you were the only one I had no reason to kill…” he whispered, instinctively swiping up Naruto’s blood and giving it a taste.
Naruto’s eyes shimmered at those last words, though he was hardly able to breath. It wasn’t the first time he felt paralyzed by Sasuke’s words. It was like a horrible curse, that got worse and worse the more you moved. The more Sasuke pushed him away, the more the wanted him back. He could not let go, even if he wanted to. Something kept him…illusion or not.
“That’s ironic. I thought you said my death would have been worth something,” he laughed vacuously.
Sasuke stabbed his sword hard into the ground, right next to where Naruto’s head lay. He grabbed a fistful of the blonde’s hair, snapping the boy’s head back visciously. Crooning his face inwards, he stopped when he was only inches away from the boy’s face. “What you’re chasing is only a mere shadow of who you thought I used to be…but in the end, you know NOTHING about me,” Sasuke murmured, his voice guttural and harsh through years of puberty.
Naruto shivered as he felt Sasuke’s breath on his neck and let out a gripe as the pale figure, so vivid even if his eyesight became blurry, pulled back on his hair. He began to twist violently as if he were impelled by those words, thrashing against the leg that pinned his stomach to the ground.
Sasuke stared down at the helpless blonde beneath him, somehow enjoying the power he had over him. But to his dismay, he realized that Naruto still had something within him that always seem to catch his attention, more than anybody else. Even amongst his deeply private and heart-wrenching moments, he remembered seeing a certain blonde inside his mind…calling, reaching for him.. He had to admit that the blonde had disturbed him yet again, robbing him of his priorities…
For reasons that he could not explain, his expression changed then, to becoming as it usually was, stoic and careless. He loosened his grip on the blonde’s hair locks slightly, but shifting so his lips were inches above Naruto’s ear. “We can’t go back to the past….dobe,” he whispered, realizing that he had uttered a word again that seemed foreign to his mouth, an affectionate name he used to call the blonde once upon a time back in Konoha. He noticed the blonde’s body shuddering then.
Naruto’s eye-sight seemed to suddenly return to him and stopped struggling as he felt blood rise to his face. “That’s why we should…build a future…” he croaked out, voice raspy from the lack of breath. Naruto couldn’t just let Sasuke be buddies with a body-snatching snake freak that wanted to destroy Konoha. He swore he would bring him back. But what was this queasiness? Sasuke’s voice was intoxicating…
“Isn’t your past what keeps you away in the first place?”
Even though Sasuke was somewhat relieved at the fact that the boy had stopped resisting, he felt his body go numb at the mention of his past. “A future huh…” he whispered darkly, his eyes full of spite and hate. “Naruto…do you know why I say that you are naïve?..” he said again, his eyes glinting abnormally. Before the blonde could utter another word, Sasuke had shifted in a lightning speed, smashing Naruto against a nearby tree deeper within the forest. Making certain that the blonde’s eyes were on him the whole time, the dark nin began to slide off his hakama, and with a silent uttering of spells, his genjutsu fell yet again. Now directly under the moonlight, the painful scars shown more clearly than ever, some of them fresh and raw as blood oozed out of the gashes, dripping on the grass below. He put his hands together, forming a seal… and with the quick jab of his fingertips against Naruto’s forehead, he resumed on the chants of the upcoming deadly jutsu…
“Say what you want…bastard….I know pain when I see it,” he was barely able to mutter, succumbing to the weird chants of the raven-haired nin, “keep running away, if that makes you feel better…you know-”. With that he no longer said anything and saw darkness all around him.
***
“What…” Naruto felt a chill go down his spine in the vacant area, that went on endlessly but to no where he could see. A noise, like that of a door slamming, drone in the distance. He saw something on the ground not far away.
Hesitation washed over him, but it was probably better not to stand there doing nothing. He approached as began to make out a pool or red…liquid. His eyes caught a glimpse of pink and he broke into a sprint as he recognized three bodies…it was Team Yamato…covered in blood. But one wasn’t dead…actually he was staring at him with his plain, emotionless face.
“I told you”.
“I told you.. that Sasuke will never come back to us..” A now bodiless and motionless Sai murmured, his head fully decapitated on the ground, fresh entrails and bowels strewn around everywhere. “Look what you did…because of you and your foolishness…look what we’ve become…” Sai’s head spoke, his voice cold yet disturbed.
Naruto opened his mouth, but no words came out. In fact, he had nothing to say. It was already obvious. He wasn’t even sure he would have stopped wanting Sasuke even knowing before-hand. But this was too much…far too much…
He flinched, but not in pain.
Utter horror.
“It’s your fault….everything..” another voice hoarsely whispered, coming from a nearly severed head of Sakura. Her skull had been split open, residue trickling down her slashed left eye socket slowly….slowly. “If only you were able to keep your promise that time…to me…to bring Sasuke-kun back… I wouldn’t be like this…you let your friends down, you let ME down..” she murmured, blood and transparent liquid trailing down her already pitiful lips.
“You should…at least kill Sasuke…or be killed,” Sai smirked.
Naruto couldn’t hear anything. He was falling, falling…
“…all I have left…” His mind whispered to him as he felt Kyubbi’s chakra fill him like fire.
“You…”
He stood in front of the gate, staring at the seal. This time there was no uncertainty.
The kyuubi was visible then, his glare threatening, piercing through every part of the blonde’s being. The demon licked its fangs… “When things get rough, all you do is come back for more..? You should just admit…you can’t do anything without me…” the kyuubi rumbled, his voice harsh and demeaning.
“Arrogant beast…I’m not here for you”.
“Do not LIE in front of me.…I can feel your anger, turmoil and all of your emotions coursing through me....Now…what do you seek?” The great fox growled out, his voice monstrous.
“Just give me your chakra and shut up,” Naruto hissed at the fox, “Or I’ll end it for both of us”.
The kyuubi gave out a powerful, yet threatening laugh then, his sharp fangs protruding out dangerously. “End it?...It seems that you can’t even save Sasuke… Naruto, you are a fool. You do not realize what the Uchiha can do to me…to both of us. Have you forgotten?..”
Naruto looked down and opened his mouth again, “Give me your chakra.”
“Tsk…tch…tsk….Your recklessness will be the end for you….and for everyone else you care about. However..” the kyuubi hissed, his eyes menacing as he slammed his claws against the cage that held him back, “I am more than happy to take over your body….once and for all”.
“Well too bad...I won’t let you,” the blonde snapped back. “If you don’t want me to commit suicide trying, you better be more cooperative.”
“Haha…you shall see young fool.…do not underestimate me..” the monster muttered again before clawing the cage viciously, acknowledging the blonde’s optimism before him. “You better not regret this pup….It will only take one mistake until the end of you….Now, Release me!! ” His voice boomed, the cage rattling against the sheer weight of the fox’s body until finally cracking open…
Naruto was taken aback while he saw the seal rip, but not completely, and the chakra took over him. “Aaaargh!!” He fell down on his knees as his hands crossed over his abdomen in torment. Consciousness was leaving...but his mind was still concentrated on one thing: Sasuke.
***
drip…drip…
Sasuke stood there within an ambiguous environment, stoic and still, fully aware that the blonde would find him soon. He had created this strange environment which would resemble a forest more than anything else, indistinct and cold…This would surely suck out most of the chakra out of the dark nin after all when he awoke, this being the most powerful genjutsu he had ever performed… Without the forbidden jutsu which controlled his being in reality, there was no way he could have performed such an incredible spell such as this….He knew in this dream state of his, he would feel no physical pain and could potentially do anything he desired….
Blood still dripped from within his wounds, coating the ground below him. But strangely, it did not hurt. He gave out an irritated breath, wondering how long it will be until he could hold up the genjutsu any longer…Even still, he knew he still had long ways to go…to ultimately become stronger, and stronger…
***
Naruto, or rather, he and Kyubbi, quickly skimmed the trees that now surrounded them. The presence of Sasuke was near, though barely perceptible in the strange, foggy, area they ended up in. Memory of the dead bodies of his teammates flashed Naruto’s memory again and caused him to move faster...but also something else inside him was boiling. This time the chakra was far more than he had ever “borrowed” from Kyuubi, but his mind was strangely present.
***
Sasuke shifted, leaning against one of the nearby trees he had created silently. He was sure that Naruto could sense his presence by now, for he could feel the wrath of power from not only the blonde but of the great Fox demon as well. “Damn fool…” he muttered, knowing that even within this illusion itself, the amount of chakra one used would affect their body when they awoke thereafter. He knew that the blonde was risking his life by combining with the kyuubi, especially since the fox could now very well overpower the boy’s body if Naruto faltered behind..
However, Sasuke’s intention was clear and precise for he had set up this genjutsu to distract and hinder Naruto’s correct train of thought and to cause turmoil within the blonde’s heart. He had personally also wanted to test the power of the blonde against him... This was proof that their rivalry was still ever strong…even if Sasuke seemed sure, that the blonde was far weaker than him. He concluded then that Naruto would lose if he failed to break the genjutsu on his own…And if this happened…. Sasuke narrowed his eyes to slits, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill Naruto, to rid of him once and for all. But first…he had an idea in his mind…and he hoped the blonde would fall right under his trap…
***
He finally reached him, and stood off a good enough distance as his eyes focused on the youngest surviving Uchiha. Naruto’s body was still in human form, but his skin was flushed and his eye’s were an angry red. Chakra emanated from his body like fire and gave him a threatening appearance. But his face wasn’t threatening at all, it was actually sneering at him, as if it had caught a prey.
“So you’re finally here. Naruto…” Sasuke murmured, his sharingan shimmering even within the dark environment. “Do you know where you are?..” he asked, his voice strangely calm and soft.
“Does it really matter…? I’m dragging you home anyway,” Naruto growled, a bit thrown off by Sasuke’s sudden change in demeanor. He seemed to be getting ready to charge at Sasuke, until the look in Sasuke’s eyes made his stomache turn. “Why is he so different all the sudden?” he pushed away his thoughts and began to rush towards the raven-haired ninja, whose eyes were still concentrated on him.
Without a word, Sasuke dodged Naruto’s attack, though barely so, and managed an iron hold of the blonde’s wrist. They were caught in an awkward angle from the sudden change of position but Sasuke’s gaze into Naruto’s eyes still remained ever so soft. “I’ve pulled you into my dream…and you won’t be able to get out,” he whispered, still calm.
Naruto could feel himself grow more impatient as he growled some more “Still going to beat your ass!” tugging wildly to free his wrist.
From this reaction, Sasuke spun around face to face with the blonde. Never taking his eyes off Naruto, he slammed the smaller boy against yet another tree as he closed his eyes, letting the curse seal take over. He felt power surge through him as he felt his body undergo its transformation. At last, he reached out his right hand and managed to touch Naruto’s neck, hot to the touch, claws brushing lightly against the boy’s fair skin. “I can create whatever I want in this dream if it be my will….and yours too..” he whispered, stretching his wings and shading them both against the tree tighter. All through this, Sasuke felt his patience near its end, the act proving difficult for the Uchiha to carry on, but his main goal at this point was to ease the kyuubi away from the blonde’s body…
Naruto shivered as he felt the claws brush against his skin, leaving a spot that burned more than the rest of his body. He decided to ignore it and aimed his right hand, free, straight at Sasuke’s nose - he hated that transformation. It made him even more nervous as he felt himself being pressed against the tree.
Sasuke flinched and jumped away from where he was, expecting this reaction at first. Blood dripped from where Naruto had managed to cut him, the side of his cheek gashed open, marring his handsome face. However, he did not fight back and rushed to where the blonde was, noticing the blonde’s fear and confusion. “How do you feel for me..?..” he whispered, the wound on his cheek already beginning to heal due to chakra. He clawed into the tree beside Naruto’s head, his hand trembling to maintain his posture.
Naruto’s eyes shot open at the question and the red grew fainter in his eyes. “W-what?” The blonde seemed to being staring out and not at him, who was inches from his face. “I...must....bring you home, Sasuke!!” and he suddenly grabbed the rope that was fastened around the Uchiha’s kimono, trying to throw him off balance. It failed to, and merely undid the Uchiha’s obi.
Sasuke stood there silently, watching as another piece of his clothing thud to the grass below. “…You fool…” Sasuke seethed out, but inching closer and closer towards the blonde, even still knowing that he was making Naruto more nervous with each passing second. “You’re not going to win this retarded battle dobe….because I’m not going to fight you.” He concluded, his words sounding sincere. All he could do was to intently stare into the Naruto’s eyes…hoping to see the blue return to them…
Naruto felt his determination melt away but knew he couldn’t let his guard down. Sasuke was simply NOT trust-worthy, though Naruto always helplessly kept hope in him anyway. “Prove it, teme” he snarled as he grabbed the raven-haired boy’s wrists, “Take us out of this shit-hole and I might believe you.” He could hear Kyuubi protesting in his mind telling him he was being a fool, but he simply did not care... “If you keep him in here, he’ll finish his chakra, I can feel it,” he heard the fox’s voice hiss in his mind, “He obviously wants me to withdraw.” Naruto thought for a second but felt like the situation was liveable...he really wasn’t in the mood for facing Sasuke with Kyuubi...especially when he was acting so....strange.
“I’ll prove it alright you irritating dumbshit…I will be rid of you completely…so you can never again interfere in my goals….” Sasuke thought, though making sure to not let his face betray Naruto’s trust. “I can’t…until you have forgiven me.” Sasuke muttered, though clearly lying through his teeth. His real intention was to keep Naruto under his genjutsu to drain Naruto of his chakra, for as long as it takes. If he succeeded, Sasuke would be able to gain the blonde’s power even without consent…and that would weaken the blonde so much he could easily take his life. Amidst all of this, the dark nin knew he was willingly taking advantage of the blonde, enough to ruin him forever. Playing dirty was never his first choice, but unfortunately, Sasuke had reached his limit and was prepared to do anything to rid of any form of a hindrance, even his once best friend.
“Since when have you become such a fat liar?” Naruto could feel Sasuke was toying with him, he knew his ex-bestfriend too well to believe Sasuke suddenly wanted his forgiveness. But Kyuubi’s chakra had almost totally left him, and he was beginning to feel extreme fatigue...even if Sasuke surely made him forget about it. He raised his arms , wrapping them slowly around the other boy’s neck, “Does this show I forgive you?”
Sasuke’s breath hitched in his throat, faltering. He didn’t expect the boy to embrace him.. He stood there awkwardly for a moment, seeing the blood on his body seep into Naruto’s clothes.. Although fortunately for the young Uchiha, he knew Naruto was already beginning to willingly give in, only urging Sasuke to coax this further... “If you think I was lying...then why are you hugging me?..” Sasuke whispered, pulling away briefly to entwine his claws into Naruto’s hair. He could see the sapphire returning into the blonde’s eyes, the red dissipating...
Naruto remained expressionless as the other boy’s fingers fisted in his hair. “Maybe cos I want to,” he replied flatly. Then suddenly he jammed his fingers on a pressure point behind Sasuke’s neck, causing the Uchiha to waver allowing him to free himself from his grip fairly easily. “Or maybe to do this,” he concluded as the Sasuke eyed him dangerously.
“Tch...perhaps you weren’t as naïve as I thought you were...but still-” Sasuke agreed, his expression becoming dark through his tough, silver locks of hair hiding part of his face. He flexed his arms and fingers, stretching his claws out to intimidate. “You’re still a complete, and total loser...” he hissed before taking hold of Naruto’s neck, drawing blood. “I’m getting tired of this..” he finished, his expression murderous.
Once again Sasuke had his eyes focused on the other boy’s neck and Naruto was beginning to get sick of fighting with him. “Why don’t you calm down a little” was all able Naruto was able to mutter as strength kept abandoning him, and his head rested on the raven-haired boy’s shoulder, “You know I’m weaker when I’m facing you...” Naruto’s voice trailed off as his body seemed to react to that sentence. A sudden flare of chakra caused Sasuke to remove his hands from his neck and Kyuubi was now coming back to his body. “But I’m not letting you go Sasuke, not again-” two red, angry eyes flashed at him, but this time his expression seemed hurt.
“Tch…I knew you were too much of an idiot to understand anything…” Sasuke hissed back, disappointed that his efforts had failed in calming the blonde. But even now, Sasuke was sick and tired of keeping up the false attitude…and he knew he had no other way but to be serious. “You always wish for my return…but do you honestly think I’m ready to return? To Konoha…to YOU?” he muttered, giving out a harsh chuckle as he flexed his fingers, cracking the bones to prepare for a possible fight. “I was able to let you go…you can’t because you’re weak. You suffer in your own bonds over and over again…” he said again, his wings spreading high above, though folding to shade his body…
Naruto stared as he listened to the words he never wanted to hear.
I was able to let you go…you can’t because you’re weak.
“Why do you keep pushing me away, Sasuke!?” the blonde roared at him, glaring at him in fury. With a deft movement he began tugging violently at the young Uchiha’s arm. The marks on his cheeks were becoming more conspicuous as he shouted.
“How long does it take you to finish me off!?” he shook him as he began to sway and mutter under his breath. “…B-bastard…you’re just playing…” he then let out as if enlightened. He abruptly let go of the arm and covered his eyes as if to prevent tears from rolling down his face and rose his right fist, slamming it hard on the other boy’s chest, “Stop…stop ignoring me!!” he screamed exasperatedly as he pulled the Uchiha close his face. His rage rose as Sasuke remained impassive and silent, causing his entire being to tremble. But for some reason the other wasn’t moving or pushing him off, so nothing prevented the delivery of the second punch, this time aimed at the face, that was still under the effect of the curse seal…
Sasuke gave out a gasp, not expecting to see the blonde react so violently…so DESPERATE.. He felt his body become entirely stiff as soon as he felt the boy’s arms wrap around him again in attack, not being used to this kind of sensation at all.. However he managed slip out and dodge most of the blonde’s moves, them being clumsy since Naruto was acting quite rash at this point…
“Shut..UP!!!” Sasuke suddenly screamed, kicking the blonde’s legs as they both awkwardly fell to the floor, limbs tangled. The Uchiha’s claws were at the ready, inches away from ripping out Naruto’s vocal cord. “Stop saying things like that…” he hoarsely whispered, his eyes piercing into the blonde’s holding menace.. Naruto was sprawled beneath him now with Sasuke on his knees, staring down at him now clearly infuriated.
He panted before lowering his head to croon into the side of Naruto’s neck only to whisper, “Why is it so hard for you to hate me…you fool…”
Tears that had already been building up behind Naruto’s eyes poured down as he closed his eyes and his arms went limp. “I…” he winced at the rest of the words that were only said in his head. “I-already told you…”. He didn’t know what to say anymore. He just felt helpless, utterly helpless, rejected and undesired for the millionth time.
All the dark nin could do was to be still, his breath harsh against Naruto’s trembling neck. He didn’t know what was possessing him but he felt he couldn’t continue… at least he couldn’t continue this fight when Naruto was helplessly crying like this. He was silent for awhile, hearing the pained weeping of the boy growing louder by the second. Sasuke had to conclude that this was the first time he had ever seen the idiot cry like this, and he did not know how to react…
“Fool….I was the one who told you…that bonds will only make you suffer…that’s why you’re crying for me…Me, who doesn’t even deserve your tears…You’re weak…” he murmured against the boy’s jaws, nearly pressing his lips against the collar bone then. Pushing his body off the blonde briefly, he touched the tip of his fingers onto the blonde’s forehead, whispering a series of spells into Naruto’s ear as their world became dark once more….
***
Naruto’s eyes flashed open and he collapsed to the ground, staring at it in shock. His hand reached to touch his neck, where there no longer was the breath of the Uchiha, whose legs were in front of him. He didn’t feel like looking up, he felt exhausted, and wasn’t in the mood to bear the raven-haired boy’s harsh gaze any longer. “And now?” His thoughts raced as he started panic, he couldn’t let Sasuke leave, but at the same time he felt like he wasn’t able to stop him. What had changed? Why was he paralyzed…
Although Sasuke had been transformed within the dream, he knew he would regain his original body once the spell broke; as he had noticed that the blonde was not his Kyuubi self any longer. He stared at the boy’s slouched form for awhile, their bodies close before he backed away abruptly, coughing up a violent series of blood towards the ground…He had used too much of his power all at once to perform the genjutsu….the effects were merely the consequences that Sasuke knew would affect his body…
“Sasuke!!” Naruto’s head snapped up as saw the boy cough up blood onto the ground. He dashed towards him, totally forgetting the situation they were in, and kneeled over Sasuke in anxiety. “Is that jutsu the cause-”
But the blonde was cut off unexpectedly, for his lips were sealed in a brutal kiss. Sasuke was sure the boy would taste the blood as he felt their teeth clashing harshly together, but he didn’t care….more so he COULDN’T care. He felt powerless to stop himself….but he felt as if he was desperate…desperate to fill in the painful void within his soul. He grunted as he pushed Naruto further against the tree, breaking the kiss briefly before stabbing his tongue inside again…falling…falling into the depths of forbidden desire.
Surprised would be the least to describe how Naruto felt, but his mouth had slipped open almost automatically as he pressed back breathlessly into the kiss, painfully wanting more the more Sasuke pried his mouth. Their lips feverously twirled over each other as he sucked in air desperately in between each different angle, the rest of his skin burning at the touch of the other’s and his hands rasping against it. He sucked on Sasuke’s mouth until his own moan broke their lips apart. “Your leg…”. It was kneading against his crotch… All his thoughts were flying out of his mind like birds, vanishing in the distance leaving only a clear sky…mind-blowing.
“Sasu-ke…” He gasped as he felt kisses trail down his neck and shuddered at the unexpected touch. An explosion of heat spread over his neck and his face burned as he was overwhelmed…by Sasuke.
Is this how it felt to be loved in return? But anxiety still ate at his heart, needing words, a promise, anything to confirm that this was…mutual.
Sasuke began kissing him again, twice as brutally, pressing his body firmly against his.
Since when he had felt this? This pull towards the other boy’s body, that is. And why was Sasuke doing this to him in the first place? He could feel a sudden anguish wash over him as he turned his face away from Sasuke, detaching their swollen lips. Panting, he didn’t have the courage to look into Sasuke’s eyes…afraid to see nothing of which he’d secretly always hoped for…
You’re not alone anymore…
“Ugnn….” Sasuke groaned out as well, his voice deep and guttural, resonating through both of their bodies through their passionate lip lock. Any logic would have demanded that he stop doing this….but he couldn’t bring himself to stop. All of this was so sudden, and neither of them barely had any time to think reasonably.
“ …look at me…” he said out huskily, his pupils dilated and lustful as he grabbed one of Naruto’s arms tightly, though taking the other hand to grab the boy’s head to angle it so they were facing each other..
“You….ruin me. Making me do something like this…. Why aren’t you resisting this?..” He began, surprised the boy didn’t rip him apart with absolute revulsion. He trailed his fingers down the boy’s top quickly, ripping open the blonde’s jacket though making sure his eyes didn’t leave Naruto’s troubled face…
Naruto’s breath continued to increase as he felt the yank at his clothes and the other’s eyes pour into his… So dark and deep, though they now glistened at him. He couldn’t really believe this was happening, and almost expected a trap…but who cared? Was there anything he wanted in the world so much that wasn’t Sasuke?
Naruto felt his desperation increase at these thoughts. Of course he didn’t resist. Who would resist the person that filled their most inner-loneliness? He missed Sasuke so much he practically wanted to be him… Whenever he was with him, the world seemed timeless. And the bond. That invisible string that he felt that tied them together. He wanted to hear…that Sasuke was still aware of it too.
“Sa-suke…do you…really want me?” His voice cracked and heavy as he felt hands on his chest.
As soon as Sasuke picked up on those words, he felt a certain bulge in his pants grow… His eyes widened, his face flustered.. Could it be? That all those nights in which all he had was himself amidst Orochimaru’s dark chambers in which he relieved himself and giving into pleasure….who was he thinking of? A certain shade of a blonde figure built inside his mind before he would explode into climax…
“…If you don’t resist me.….I don’t know what I might do..” he murmured, feeling definitely insecure. He had never felt such mixed up feelings for somebody like this before, not to mention he had never done this with anyone else….only times having been private masturbations. Even then, he didn’t understand why he succumbed into those feelings….perhaps sexual desires were part of human nature. He suddenly wondered if the blonde had done this before.. and a stab of jealousy jolted his heart. “What is wrong with me….” he thought wildly, as he instinctively ripped Naruto’s tanktop away revealing the tanned boy’s chest, not having the patience..
Naruto closed his eyes as he felt Sasuke’s chest rub against his, feeling the boy’s heart beat fast and his lips against the lower side of his neck. His insides turned as the lower half of his body yearned for more. Now he couldn’t keep his attention off of it, after what Sasuke said. His hands trembled with emotion as he brought them down Sasuke’s lower back, caressing slowly.
Somehow he wished this moment could last forever, no matter how sappy thoughts like that sounded. The embrace tightened and Naruto could feel warm liquid dripping down his checks without any reflex to cause it. It would end. But the memory was forever…
The Uchiha teen’s butterfly kisses upon Naruto’s soft neck became more severe as he began to suck on the skin there, sliding his tongue against it brutally…surely to leave love marks. Then he looked above, noticing that the blonde was crying yet again. He grimaced, knowing he couldn’t fix anything…the painful bond that Naruto was desperately trying to hold on to was destroying them both…
Instead of saying anything, Sasuke licked at Naruto’s face, licking away the tears one by one. He trailed his rough hands and held Naruto’s naked waist, rubbing the boy’s back up and down before burying his face into the blonde’s neck…
“I’m going to take you….if you aren’t going to stop me..” he whispered, already beginning to play with the buckles of Naruto’s pants…
The blonde boy’s face turned several shades of crimson before speaking, “Already…you…have me.”
And maybe he always will.
