"Stay."
His voice cracked. It sounded so broken, so desperate and it was not like him at all. Naruto had always been the ball of sunshine that lights up everyone's mood, he was always full of warm smiles and encouragement but now, all his insecurities and his weaknesses laid bare before the Uchiha. Naruto clutched the sleeve of Sasuke's shirt so tight that it wrinkled. Sasuke with a stoic expression plastered into his face didn't reply instead he observed the other who stared at him with his cerulean blue orbs that windowed his emotions. Sadness. Pain. Anger.
"Don't you dare go down that path, you're better than that."
"What do you know Naruto? You know nothing about me."
Naruto gritted his teeth before pulling Sasuke's collar and snarled.
"Teme! Is that what you really want?! To live that kind of messed up and fucked up life?! You and I both know that your brother didn't want this kind of shit! And now you're shitting to follow what exactly he didn't want you to live your fucking life in."
Sasuke gripped Naruto's wrists and roughly pushed him against the wall. Naruto winced at the pain when his head hit the stone wall before cursing his own height seeing that Sasuke towered him by a few inches, his face dangerously close. Sasuke glared at the blond whose glare mirrored Sasuke's own.
"Itachi is fucking dead Naruto! Did you really think that all will be fucking alright if I run away from this shit?! I'm an Uchiha! We both fucking know that it's a well-known powerful family that runs the Akatsuki group! Now that Itachi's been killed other sectors would be coming for me next and if that happens—"
"—Don't give me that piece of crap! You have a choice! You can just hand it over to one of your subordinates or something and fucking leave it all behind! I—"
"—It isn't that simple!—"
"—Then what is?! What can I fucking simply do to make you stay with me?!"
Silence fell and Naruto fought the tears that threatened to spill. Sasuke turned his head away unable to reply. Naruto didn't like this, just how many times did he pleaded no begged Sasuke to change his mind about this? He tried many times to stop Sasuke to pursue this path of crime and bloodshed but it seems no matter what he'd do, it would never be enough. Naruto can't do a fucking thing to stop him and it's killing him inside.
"Dobe."
Sasuke held the side of Naruto's whiskered cheek gently and caressed it. Naruto wanted so badly to just lean in to his touch, but he refuse to look at the man that has become his whole world, his fucking everything, his sun and stars. Naruto slapped the hand away and threw the hardest punch he could muster against the man he called his lover. Sasuke staggered backwards not expecting the punch, his nose began bleeding upon the impact but he made no move to cover it up instead he stared at Naruto blankly.
"Fine. Do whatever the hell you want, I won't stop you anymore. I won't be interfering with you, your job, and your life. I'm outta here."
Naruto headed straight to the door hoping that somehow Sasuke would stop him from leaving but he never did, Sasuke didn't move, didn't even blink, he just stared at Naruto's back as he slammed the door shut and that's when Naruto decided if Sasuke won't stay with him then Naruto would leave instead. Naruto walked aimlessly while he desperately wiped the tears that just never stopped flowing across his face.
"NARUTOOOOOO!"
"GAAAH! Fuck! My ears! What the hell do you want now?!"
"Don't space out in the middle of work! And watch your fucking language!"
"Speak for yourself, you old hag!"
"One more word out of that filthy mouth of yours and I'll fire you brat."
Naruto stuck out his tongue playfully at his boss and Tsunade gave one of those 'I'll-teach-you-to-respect-your-elders' looks before he brushed it off. Naruto took the stacks of papers piled on Tsunade's office and carried them back to own his desk eyeing them with disdain. Ugh! Naruto wanted to pull his hair out of frustration, just how the hell was he supposed to deal with this shit they called 'work'? Okay so he was looking for a damn job, and it took him forever to get a job as a bank teller but it's just so unfair, he works more than necessary but the money he earns just didn't compensate for it.
"It won't get done if you just glare at them Naruto."
Sakura smacked Naruto's head with her folder and Naruto answered with a pout.
"Sakura-chan, why does god hate me?"
"Don't blame anyone for your misfortunes Naruto. It's your fault Tsunade's hard on you."
"Hmmph. That old hag wouldn't give me a raise for all the hard work I've done."
Sakura smacked his head again and Naruto soothed his abused head.
"That hurts Sakura-chan."
Sakura Haruno smiled at her co-worker/best friend, knowing full well that something has been bothering Naruto for him to act like this and she suspects that Tsunade noticed it too that's why she kept on threatening to fire Naruto so that something would distract him. Sakura has no doubt that almost everyone liked Naruto, he's charismatic, funny, and you just feel relaxed when he's around. But there are certain times especially this time of the year when Naruto would just space out in the middle of work and the charming smile would vanish as if he was reviewing a memory long lost.
"Quit complaining Naruto. I gotta go and replace Ino at the counter, deal with the transactions and stuff. Get that work done so we could hang out at Ichiraku's later, okay?"
At the mention of Ichiraku Naruto's eyes sparkled and he grinned widely. It was widely known across Hokage Bank that Naruto's favourite food is ramen, and gawd! Naruto worships the food as if it was god's greatest gift to man.
"Sure Sakura-chan!"
Naruto cursed the memory for the millionth time.
Even after 5 fucking years have gone by he still can't get over it. He's angry at himself because whether it be in the past or in the present he is still madly in love with the bastard. He tried to forget him, he really did, but his heart just refused to discard the feelings and it's been longing to feel him. It's like Sasuke's presence didn't disappear and every damn day Naruto would remember memories that reminded him of what he once had.
Knowing Sasuke, he'd probably moved on by now, the stoic dick saw emotions and affection as a weakness and if it weren't for Naruto he'd be pushing himself away from everybody but now that Naruto had walked out of his life, he's ninety-nine point nine percent sure that Sasuke had reverted back to being the emotionless, cruel, arrogant bastard that he is.
Naruto longed for Sasuke and it hurt. He felt stupid leaving Sasuke like that. Thinking about it right now he should have put more conviction in his freaking ass to stop Sasuke from going into that kind of business. Naruto understands that Sasuke came from a well-known family that deals with all kinds of illegal shit, but Sasuke did not need to get himself involved. Naruto selfishly distracted Sasuke from all of that but he should've known it wasn't that simple.
The printer jammed and Naruto felt pathetic.
It was already nearing 8pm when finally only a few clients lined up at the counter and Sakura's fingers were dead tired from all that typing, signing, and printing. She could see that Hinata and the others were experiencing the same thing whatever possessed Tsunade to think that she decided to close the bank at 8pm Sakura will never know. When the last client finished his withdrawal (which was a very huge amount of money) and headed outside the bank Sakura began packing her bag and waved over at Naruto who returned the gesture.
She was about to invite Hinata to come join them when she heard a gunshot just right outside the bank, she turned her head only to stare at horror when their security guard dropped dead surrounded by a pool of his own blood. The client before kneeled on the pavement outside obviously at the masked person who held a gun pointed at him, who had just killed an innocent person. He or she was accompanied by another.
"I'm begging you please! This is the only amount I can give you right now! Spare me!"
"Listen here you old man, you're debts are fucking escalating and you've got guts stealing 300 million yen."
"Just kill him already. If he can't pay back the money, he pays with his life. That's the rule."
"NO! Please, I swear I'll pay it back all of it even if it takes me my whole life—"
But the client didn't get to finish, another gunshot was heard and this time he dropped dead. The person who held the gun snickered in irritation. Sakura immediately went down under the counter shaking in obvious terror. She clasped her hands around her mouth to prevent her from screaming, tears started flowing down her cheeks. She looked around and saw that some of her co-workers were doing the same thing.
"Hey! I was supposed to be the one to take him down! Now I can't show boss Indra my skills."
Sakura leaned her head on the floor peeping through under the counter she could see a tall figure emerged from the shadows holding another gun.
"I've already disabled the CCTV cameras surrounding the place. Take care of the corpses, it stinks."
"You're such a pain."
The two then started to clean up their mess, dumping the bodies of two inside a garbage bag and throwing it at the back of a parked truck then wiping the blood off the pavement. Sakura fought the urge to vomit at the sight of it. Sakura hear a thud and she froze, one of her friends had bumped their head and now it alerted the tall one who suddenly looked at the still open bank.
"We're done here. Let's go."
"Wait."
The tall figure entered the bank followed by the two accompanying him.
"What is it?"
"For a bank that is still open don't you think it's too quiet and not a single person is around?"
Sakura can hear her heart pounding in her chest and she was thinking if she could still get out alive from this. She could see that Ino had closed her eyes tight and was tugging on her blonde hair. They remained silent for a while then suddenly
BANG BANG BANG!
Several vases and things got broken and Ino screamed before Sakura could beat her to it.
"SHUT UP!"
The three persons finally noticed Ino and dragged her out of her hiding place. Looking at them closer, Sakura could see that they were wearing masks and a hood covering their hair and faces, these guys wore formal clothes but what was similar in their attire was that they had the same insignia embroidered in their uniforms, a red cloud. The woman pulled Ino's hair and pointed a gun on her head.
"Well well well, a rat went out of its dirty hiding place. You saw it all didn't ya? Sorry miss we can't really leave any witnesses alive."
Sakura could see that her friend was trying to put on a brave façade but she was failing miserably, she could only watch as her friend tremble in terror. Sakura felt pathetic.
"I doubt you're the only one here. Show all yourselves up and I might spare your pitiful lives! If you don't this babe over here would be the first to go down."
Sakura stayed down and she felt conflicted. She knew Ino didn't deserve this none of them did but she was too afraid to show herself and risk her life for her friend. Come on Sakura! You're her friend! Aren't you supposed to be tough?! Fighting the fear that's been raging inside her she stood up from her hiding place and she could see that Hinata had done the same. It kinda hurt her that she didn't see Naruto.
"Now that wasn't so hard now is it?"
Even behind that mask Sakura knew that he was smiling.
"Kill them."
Sakura closed her eyes tight.
"WAIT!"
Sakura opened her eyes and it brought her relief that it was Naruto. Naruto stood from his place and glared daggers at the three, but what surprised her was that they seemed to be quite shocked to see Naruto.
"Suigetsu, Karin, Jugo. Leave them alone, the Akatsuki have no business here."
One of them chuckled before laughter rang out the place but Sakura can't even begin to understand what is happening around anymore. Naruto knew them? Where? How? Are they Naruto's friends? Akatsuki?
"Of all the places I didn't expect you to be here Naruto. What would Sasuke say? He's been searching high and low for you for the last 5 years and suddenly you appear here? Luck must favour us today don't you think?"
"Let them go. You have the pills right? They won't remember a thing tomorrow."
The three thought about it for a moment before
"Fine. But you're coming with us."
She could see Naruto say something but she didn't get to hear of it as the next thing she knew, something hard landed on her neck and there was darkness.
