I'm sorry to the people who liked the one before this one but I just didn't like it at all. It was just too similar to others that other people wrote. Well for some people who still might not understand, This is a redo of my previous story 'My Beloved Angle'! Okay now on to the story.
---
Naruto looked up at the sky. He didn't know how to explain how he felt but it wasn't good. Him and his team just got back from a mission and it went perfectly, the problem was that he got hurt. Not physically but more mentally.
On the mission they met a boy that looked just like Haku. He even talked like him. He had someone he loved so much that he would do anything for him, just like Haku. Naruto didn't know why it hurt him that much, it just did. It reminded him of his devotion to the Hidden Leaf Village.
It's been about three years since the attack on the Hidden Leaf and they were progressing nicely. Most of the houses that were destroyed were back, along with the shops, and the fields. Hearts were the main things that needed to be fixed.
People were still crying over loved ones lost and the loss of our beloved Hokage. Of course we have Tsunade but she hasn't earned all of our respect, not like Sarutobi. He was a very respected man within and without of the village.
Naruto was brought out of his thoughts, "Naruto? I've been calling you for five minutes and you haven't answered. Are you okay?" It was Sakura. She has been worrying about him all since the mission.
"Yeah...I was just thinking about the 3rd Hokage." Sakura frowned.
"Oh. Well I wanted to know if you were going to come to the birthday party Ino and I are throwing for Sasuke-kun. We need to know if we need food for you or not." He looked back at the setting sun. It was just beautiful.
"Yeah, I'll come to that bastard's birthday party." He smirked.
"If you ruin this, your dead." Sakura glared at him. He just shook his head and she left. He was now left alone again. He was alone a lot more than he was two years ago. It wasn't that everyone hated him, they actually respected him more now, surprisingly.
After the battle with Gaara, the villagers started to think that they could trust him in keeping the fox demon in him. He wasn't given rotten food all of the time now, only by a few grocers. Him and Sasuke got along, some what. It was strange for him to be respected but he liked it more than not.
The blonde sighed. Jiraiya is going to take him away to different countries to train, and for the pervert to do some 'research'. Truly he doesn't want to leave but he does want to get stronger. It's a cost he's going to take.
"Naruto?" Kakashi walked up to the thinking blonde. The silver-haired man looked at his student.
"Yeah?" Naruto looked at his sensei. The man was looking at him, curiosity showed in his one eye.
"Are you okay? You've been acting weird all since we met that boy." The man sat down beside him and looked at the sky, just like Naruto was.
"Yeah. . .I'm fine." Kakashi glared at him the look that said 'Don't you dare lie to me' and Naruto sighed. "Okay. All since we saw that boy, I kept remembering what Haku said and what he did for Zabuza." Kakashi nodded.
"Me too. I don't know why it would effect only us and not the others." He sighed.
"Well, we saw most of it, Sakura and Sasuke didn't see as much." Naruto stated. He had gotten smarter over the three years since the Chunnin Exams.
"True." They just sat there in silence. It was a nice silence, neither of them wanted to ruin it. They did this quiet a bit. It was like their time together, just like Kakashi and Sasuke's time together in that one month before the Chunnin Exams.
The sun was set but the two didn't move. They were just looking at the progress the city had made in rebuilding itself.
"Sarutobi would be proud of us now." Kakashi sighed. Naruto just smiled a little.
"No." Kakashi looked at him surprised. "All of the Hokage's are proud of us." Kakashi smiled at this and got up.
"Well sad to say but I have to go meet Iruka and talk about something. I'll see you tomorrow." The two nodded and Naruto waited until the silver-haired man was out of sight until he got up too.
He walked back to town from the Hokage Mountain. He had to go home and get ready for tomorrow. Ino and Sakura had been planning this party for Sasuke for two months. It was pitiful, truly, how many fan girls were going to be there.
The blonde sighed. He just didn't know what he was feeling. He felt like he was being left out of something. Something wasn't right. But what was it? Was it something bad? Good? He knew not. It was just strange to feel like this for him. He sighed again.
"Naruto?" The blonde turned around and smiled. Sasuke just frowned even more knowing that it was fake.
"What's wrong?" The blonde dobe looked at him curiously. "Don't give me that. I know some thing is wrong." Naruto sighed.
"Sasuke, I can't give you an answer to something I don't even know." Sasuke looked at him and started to walk, Naruto following his movement.
"Are you going to Sakura and Ino's party tomorrow?" The blonde nodded.
"Sadly because of all of your beloved fan girls."
"They're not my beloved fan girls. More like annoying pests." The two chuckled.
"True. I'm surprised you're not being jumped right now." Naruto smirked.
"Why?"
"Well, they do stalk you 24-7. I'm just surprised that we don't hear any giggling or any yells like 'Sasuke-kun!' 'Marry me!'" Naruto said sarcastically. The raven chuckled. It was all true. All since the raven was old enough to be liked. He was cute, the blonde had to admit.
"So are you going?" Naruto looked at the raven, hopefully.
"Well, since you are going, I might as well." The raven sighed sarcastically. Naruto just smiled brightly.
"Good! Now I have someone to annoy the whole time!" Sasuke glared at him. "What?"
"If you are annoying then I'm leaving." Naruto just laughed. They continued in a good silence. Soon both of then realized that they were right in front of Naruto's apartment, neither of them wanting to say goodbye just yet but knew that they had too.
"Um...so I'll see you in the morning." Naruto turned and waved.
"Yeah dobe. See ya." He waved, hearing a curse for the name and left. Neither of them knew of the love they shared for each other but fate had a new plan for them.
