Bleeding Pursuit
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto (SADLY)…because if I did that bastard Sasuke would have never left the village and broken my poor Naruto's heart…Also, I would have put them in a wine glass with whip cream and melted chocolate on top YUM lol; oh yea… and ALMONDS!!
Chpt. 1 - Bittersweet
Don't leave me...
Silver tears fell on the sheets of the bed beneath him.
The limp form of Naruto lay curled in his arms. He gripped him tighter, face buried in his still chest. In a burst of rage and wild sorrow, he flung himself on the naked blonde, crushing his lips to his. His body stilled for a second.
His lips were cold...
He pulled away and stared into half-open blue eyes. They no longer were that sparkling blue which had captivated him so…now they were dull and dark. How could someone that he loved, treasured, be gone just like that?
"Kuso…" he muttered. Looks like he hadn't been able to save him after all. He had always dreamed of dying with the dobe…
But never like this.
...eh...
March…2008.
Oddly enough, snow was falling…
The Uchiha was silent as he trudged down the empty sidewalk. In his hand was a note…
…N …
The name printed on the paper was smudged…
The thought of it caused his fist to tighten around the page. It was only a week ago that Naruto had died, and now another week later, he finds out that he had a child?!
His breath was coming out in short wispy clouds. He realized he'd stopped walking. He unfolded the note and stared at it in his hand. Had Naruto been with someone else while he was -…No. The thought of it was impossible…But if he hadn't, then how had he come to have a child that Sasuke didn't know about? Heat seeped from his eyes as if trying to burn the page.
He looked up, distant, the wind blowing at his back.
There was only one way to find out.
………………………………………………………………..eh………………………………………………………
"Saaaasuke-kun!"
Oh God…the beast had risen…
Sasuke regarded her with the slight uplift of his eyes.
"What do you want Sakura?"
The female kunoichi stopped inches in front of him.
"I haven't heard from…Naruto-kun…in a while…Do you know what happened to him?" she asked in between breaths.
The Uchiha froze. Ever since Naruto's death, he'd been trying to keep it a secret. He hadn't thought people would notice...
"He just…went away for a while" he muttered coming out of his sleep-like trance.
"Oh…well when you see him can you tell him I said hi?"
Sasuke didn't realize he was running until he burst through the bathroom door, crashing into the tiled wall. With a heavy pant, he slid to the floor, gripping his chest where his heart was doing backward somersaults. Tears billowed down his face in warm, thick rivulets.
He couldn't seem to catch his breath. The room was spinning. His gaze fell on the slightly smudged glass of the mirror in the corner of the room. He glimpsed a pair of open blue shoes under the stall behind him.
'Better pull it together before someone sees' he thought, slowly getting to his feet.

"Oi…next period starts in five minutes" Shikamaru said washing his hands, before exiting the bathroom.
Sasuke muttered a brief "Un" as the shinobi's back disappeared from view. The stall door was left swinging open where Sasuke stood rigid. He released the breath he had been holding and turned to the window to wipe the tears from his eyes.
He hadn't expected the topic of Naruto's death to hit him so hard, demo…it was only expected. After all…he had been Naruto's lover and that said, he wanted it to stay that way…even in death…
After leaving the bathroom, he brushed past Kakashi on his way to class. A slight "un" seemed unnecessary so they both just looked at each other, and went on their way. But there was a look in Kakashi's eyes that made Sasuke want to stop.
It was traditional for them to glare at the other with their sharingan, at the chance Sasuke might feel intimidated gazing at Kakashi's left eye. But this time, Sasuke let his sharingan fade. The older jounin slowly walked past, raising a hand in what appeared to be a wave. For a second Sasuke stood alone, a look of soft confusion on his face then turned, feeling somewhat abashed and hurt.
Kakashi was the only person who knew about what had happened. To think he'd kept the secret for this long came as some surprise to the raven-haired teme but seeing as the jounin was his sensei, their…friendship if you could call it that, had grown since then.
RRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!
The Uchiha made no haste to quicken his pace as he strode to class. The assignment would just have to wait.
He'd be there…soon enough.
