Ok well one shot…realllly dark and depressing. Lately I've been really depressed myself and have been extremely angry with everything and all the time, so I decided why not write a dark story?

Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto, or death.

Summary-Naruto has told Sasuke that he loves him countless times, yet all he ever receives is a turn of the back. His limit has been reached and he can no longer carry on without the love being returned to him. Character death, SasuNaru, Yaoi, dark fic.

"…Kyuubi…"

'…Naruto talking to Kyuubi…'

--

It's been five years, five years and he still wasn't able to bring back the one he loved. It didn't matter how many times he told him that, in the end Sasuke turned his back and walked away. Naruto had attempted to keep his cool and pretend as if it didn't affect him, yet people still noticed how his bright smiles came less often, how thin he had become and mission success percent was falling for him. A week ago he and Team Kakashi had came back from a failed mission to bring Sasuke back, he hadn't left his apartment since then. His food was left untouched in the kitchen, his weapons sat collecting dust on his dresser, and he had stayed in bed for the entire week sleeping or silently weeping while slicing his skin with broken glass from the dropped picture frame.

"Naruto, I can't keep you sustained for another day. You need to eat, get up and move."

'I have my own chakra reserves…'

"Not enough to keep you living; you might be able to get away with one more jutsu before you begin shutting down."

'Good.'

Naruto stood up shakily and dispelled his clone that he kept roaming the streets to keep friends at bay. He felt the unused chakra return to him and he let out a breath before performing a henge to change his blonde hair to brown, blue eyes to green, tan skin and whiskers to pale mark less skin. Already he could feel his body weakening from the minor stress. Quickly he changed into a black shirt and beige shorts, grimacing at the resemblance to Sasuke. Grabbing a few soldier pills just to keep him going he shoved them in his pocket before sitting at the kitchen table and writing a quick note; blocking Kyuubi's vision.

I won't apologize for what I'm about to tell you because it wouldn't make a difference.

The boy you knew, Naruto, is no more. Mentally, nor physically, by the time somebody has read this my life has already ended. I have been starving myself for a while now, and the Naruto you have been seeing walking around for a week was merely a clone. Do not come looking for my body it will not be in the village, and I do not want to have a funeral in the village that hates me.

Sakura, don't cry over me, and if Sasuke ever comes back stop chasing after him. Lee loves you genuinely. Kakashi, if you are ever offered the position of Hokage, take it. For me, you won't have to arrive places on time as much as you do now anyway. Tsunade, don't drink yourself into oblivion over me either, I'll make sure to say hi to Jiraiya for you as well. Sai, Thanks for being a great friend and teammate. I hope for your sake you will know what kind of face to make when you read this, and please I want you to be the one to tell Sasuke that I loved him. Iruka, I love you so much. Thank you for being the best. You were like a mother and a father in one. Good luck with you and Kakashi.

Everyone else, I'm sorry I don't have time to write something for you all but know that I appreciate your help, and the fact that you didn't mind being my friend. I shall see you all when it's your time.

Good luck to you all, Naruto.

He folded the paper and placed his headband on top of it. Grabbing his cloak and taking one last look around, he noticed the broken picture frame and picked out the picture from the glass. The old Team 7 picture, laughing morosely he folded it and put it in his pocket along with another note he had written before. He turned and left his apartment for the last time.

Naruto had just left through the gates of the village, appearing as a visitor who was leaving and going back to his village; he had forged a hokage permission form having seen so many of them. They would notice too late that it was a fake. He took cover in the dense forest and dispelled his henge, pulling on the hood of his cloak to cover his bright hair; he walked quickly and avoided obstacles. It was fact that he knew well that it would take him nearly a day to arrive at his destination. A tan hand reached into his pocket and retrieved two soldier pills which he ate and then he began to run as fast as he could.

"I hope you're planning on eating more than soldier pills when you get to wherever you're going…you also need rest."

'I will…in a way.'

"What's that supposed to mean?"

'Nothing…'

"I'm sick of you not telling me anything anymore! Tell me where you're going and why!"

'If I did that…it would take all the fun out of it.'

"Tch. You've really lost it, you know?"

'I knew the moment I told Sasuke I loved him and he left without saying so much as 'Dobe''

"Would you forget about him already?!"

'I can't! That's like forgetting a part of my life…I can't just erase it…now leave me alone, I can't concentrate while you talk.'

He received no reply so he forgot about their conversation and pushed on, speeding up. He began recognizing where he was and knew he only had a few hours left.

Sasuke sat on his bed, watching the flame of a candle flicker, casting shadows across the bare room. He thought back o the first time Naruto had told him he loved the raven. Blue eyes had looked at him, full of hope and love and every emotion Sasuke didn't want to see. He couldn't handle breaking the heart of the one he loved back. So instead of admitting his feelings then leaving, he just turned his back and left; longing to grab the blond and hug him, telling him he loved him so much. Every time they crossed paths after that for a year and a half, Sasuke heard the blond utter those words to him. Whether they were yelled during a fight, of whispered as Naruto was being carried away, he always heard those three words that broke his heart. Sasuke stood and walked to his door, brushing past Kabuto who was about to knock, most likely to tell him that Orochimaru wanted to see him.

"Where are you going Sasuke-kun?" Kabuto smiled, not bothering to stop him.

"Out" Sasuke replied curtly before transporting outside. He took a deep breath and looked at the bright blue sky. It reminded him of Narutos eyes. When he last saw him a week ago his eyes weren't the same sparkling blue though, there was a dark storm cloud that had taken over. He wanted so badly to comfort the blond and ask what had been troubling him. The last few times they encountered each other Narutos effort had been waning until finally all he did was tell him to come home and that he loved him. Yet, Sasuke still didn't say anything other than that he wasn't done with his goal. He couldn't help but feel he had done something terrible.

Sasuke wove his way around the trees, on his way to his favorite place to just sit and enjoy the tranquil air. He was glad that it was only about half an hour away so he could go there whenever he wanted; even so he could always transport himself there. He just arrived at his favorite tree and sat down on a branch halfway up, it had a clear view of the valleys below and he could also see the ground from there, just in case anybody decided to intrude.

--

He could see it, just through those trees a few yards away. Naruto had taken his last solider pill an hour ago and the effects were already beginning to wear off, his sprinting run had turned to a weakened jog and he was now using tree trunks and other things to help him stand and move along. With his last surge of energy he burst through the bushes and emerged into the sunlight, immediately he collapsed, his breaths heaving and tears dripping onto the dirt. Faintly he could feel another persons' chakra but brushed it off, seeing as nobody from Konoha could've gotten there before him, let alone even know where he was going. The only people that could possibly be there would be from Orochimarus' hideout that he knew was nearby. He pulled himself over to a large rock and took out his second note and the old picture from his pocket; placing them on the flat surface of it he turned and crawled the edge of the cliff that overlooked the valley of clovers. He pulled off his cloak and dropped it, satisfied with the long drop.

--

Sasuke tensed when he sensed a different chakra, it was weak as if the person was about to die or was seriously injured. He watched as a hooded figure fell through the brush and wheeze through heavy breaths. The person crawled and stumbled over to a large rock before pulling out what looked like a picture and a piece of paper, placing them on the top. When the person turned their back he silently jumped down and concealed his chakra before soundlessly making his way to the rock. He was curious not concerned, he wasn't planning on helping the person he just wanted to know why they were bothering him. He looked back up and noticed the person sitting slumped over at the edge of the cliff. Looking at the rock he forwent the picture and picked up the paper.

It might not be my time to go yet, but I can't live this life knowing the one I love doesn't love me back. I wish I could've stayed in this world longer, with him, in each other's arms saying how much we love each other. Yet it is a dream that can't be fulfilled within this lifetime.

Uchiha Sasuke, I love you. I've told you many times over that I do but you ignore me every time. I hope one day you realize what you were to me, and I hope to see you in my next life, maybe we can love each other then…

Sasuke dropped the note and looked at the picture quickly picking it up. His eyes widened and switched to look at the now cloak less person in front of him. Shockingly blond hair and tan skin came to his line of sight and he gasped, realizing it was Naruto. The quiet noise obviously alerted the other of his presence and he slowly turned his head. Blue eyes widened suddenly as he saw Sasuke standing there, holding his picture, the note fluttering down to the ground. He staggered to his feet and clutched at his knees, keeping himself from collapsing again.

"Sa-Sasuke…just answer me this…" Naruto heaved through his words. Clenching his eyes as more tears spilled, his muscles twitching with the effort of standing. "Why…why don't you love me back?!"

"N-Naru…to…" Sasuke was at a loss for words. He clutched the picture tighter in his hand and took a few steps forward. "Please…don't do this."

"Answer the question!" Naruto raised his voice, cracking one eye open to peer at the one slowly approaching. "Just…answer it please."

"I…I can't." Sasuke spoke quietly, disappointed in himself. He watched as the blond closed his eye slowly and stood up straight before smiling brightly at him, though it was a sad smile because of the tears flowing freely down his cheeks.

"Well then. As you read, I hope you can love me either in the afterlife. Or the next life." Narutos smile dimmed and he opened his eyes. He walked forward a few steps and placed a light kiss on Sasukes lips before mustering up the rest of his strength and running back to the edge, jumping off and spreading his arms out.

'Kyuubi, thank you for being the only one there for me, now it's time for the fox to fly.'

"Kit…I'm sorry…I should've been there more for you…not been such an ass."

'It's ok…this would've happened anyway. Sasuke was the only one who could change this.'

"Well then, as long as we're dying I should say that you're like a son to me and I love you like one."

'Softy…I love you like a father Kyuu…thanks.' Naruto smiled sadly and turned his body so he was facing the sky and opened his eyes. He barely had a moment before he was pulled into the arms of another.

"Idiot!" Sasuke yelled at him. They had another hundred yards before their lives were no more. "I love you! This and the next life!"

Naruto brought one arm back and wrapped it around Sasukes back, guiding their lips together in a last kiss. Thirty yards. They separated. Twenty yards. They hugged and looked into each others' eyes. Ten yards. They both whispered 'I love you'. Five yards. Two figures appeared at the top of the cliff. Four yards. Iruka yelling Narutos name. Three yards. He is pulled back. Two yards. Kakashi begins his way down the cliff. One yard. They hit. It's over.

Done! I was thinking of doing a second part where it shows what happens right after, like Kakashi reaching their bodies and Sakura and people there with a burial at the site. Etc. but I'm not sure if you think I should then let me know please! R&R!!
