Song: Hanging by a Moment by Lifehouse

Naruto ran though the thick wood of the forest. He couldn't let him get away, not this time. There was too much to say.

He called out and ran faster into the deepness of the forest. Naruto knew he only had once chance to get what he desired, and he also knew that this was it. If he let him run away again…no, he didn't want to think of that.

Calling out again, Naruto stopped abrubtly when heard a soft rustle in the bushes. Looking closer the ninja saw what he was looking for.

The dark featured man smirked at Naruto, his face shining in the moonlight. "Hey, Dobe."

"Teme." Naruto growled. As sudden as the dark man appeared, the man was all of a sudden embrasing Naruto. Naruto's head was in the crook of the older man's neck, and he breathed in the sweet smell of his lover.

"Sasuke…Why did you run?"

Sasuke pulled apart from Naruto and looked into his deep blue eyes. Sasuke never showed his emotions. Well, almost never. The only person that had ever seen him cry since the massacre was the younger man in front of him, Naruto. Sasuke's eyes teared up and pulled his best friend, arch rival, and lover into his arms.

"I'm so sorry Naruto, I'm so sorry."

Naruto spoke into the older man's ear, "You told me you were coming back. Doesn't look like it to me."

Sasuke was still in his Orochimaru minion garb-minus the belt. He had ditched it as soon as he saw Naruto so he could pull his loved one close.

"Now's not the time, Naruto. I can't come back. It'll just be a danger to both of us, and the whole village. But don't worry, every day I fall more in love with you, even if we are separated far apart."

The older looked down when he felt wetness in the front of his shirt. Naruto was sobbing into his chest. "Sasuke," said the younger, "when are you coming home?"

"Soon, my kitsune, as soon as I can. But for now…" Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hand and lead him into the dark wood to where he had been waiting. As soon as Naruto saw what the other man had set up, his eyes were as wide as saucers.

Sasuke had pulled him into a clearing with nothing but a small music player in the middle. Sasuke pulled him over to the player and pushed a button. A few seconds later, a very familiar song came on. One that they called their song, one that described their relationship to a point where it was almost scary.

Desperate for changing

Starving for truth

I'm closer to where I started

Chasing after you

"'Hanging by a Moment.'" Naruto breathed as happy tears ran down his cheeks.

Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist and held him tightly. Naruto slowly wrapped his around the older man's neck. Both swayed in time to the music, as it was the theme song to their lives.

I'm falling even more in love with you

Letting go of all I've held onto

I'm standing here until you make me move

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

Naruto laughed at the last line, "It's never been so true before. We only have a moment…"

"Well then let's make it the best moment of our lives." Sasuke leaned down and touched his lips to Naruto's. They continued to dance while they were tied together in a everlasting kiss.

Forgetting all I'm lacking

Completely incomplete

I'll take your invitation

You take all of me now...

The couple pulled apart and looked at eachother in the others' eyes, one seeing a pool of bright blue while the other seeing a deep, never-ending onyx.

I'm falling even more in love with you

Letting go of all I've held onto

I'm standing here until you make me move

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know

I'm running and not quite sure where to go

And I don't know what I'm diving into

Just hanging by a moment here with you

"Naruto I don't know what's going to become of me in the near future. I don't know if I can ever come home safely. But just remember, I'll always be with you in spirit, always."

Desperate for changing

Starving for truth

I'm closer to where I started

Chasing after you....

"I understand." Naruto still held onto his lover while they talked, "Promise me that all this craziness will change. Promise me that you'll come home as soon as you can. I don't care if I'm in danger, I just need you."

Sasuke whispered into his lovers ear, "I will never put you into danger. But I will promise that I will always look for a way to come home."

I'm falling even more in love with you

Letting go of all I've held onto

I'm standing here until you make me move

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know

I'm running and not quite sure where to go

And I don't know what I'm diving into

Just hanging by a moment here with you

"Sasuke?" Naruto clutched onto Sasuke as soon as the last note of the song ended, "I love you."

Sasuke pulled Naruto into a long and pationate kiss. Pulling away, Sasuke whispered, "I love you too. I'll love you until the end of time."

And then as soon as he appeared, Sasuke was gone into the night.
