Memory
Chapter one!
"Naru-Chan! Come in for lunch!" Called a female voice from the small wooden cabin. A blonde looked up from where he was chopping wood; he wiped the sweat that threatened to fall from his brow. Sky blue eyes looked to the front of the cabin where a small built girl stood waving at him. She had long dark black hair and how the sun reflected off it, it looked a light blue almost, it also was layered, and her bangs were shorter than the rest of her hair, they came to her chin. She had dark blue eyes with a hint of green in them sometimes. The odd thing about this girl was that her eyes would change color. When she was really hyper, and happy, her eyes would be bright blue, almost matching his own. But when she was sad, or mainly sick, they would turn to a dark shade of green.
She was just a little smaller than he was. She was 5'5 and he was 5'8. She was strong but doesn't look it. She can protect herself just fine, and Naru found that out the hard way. She had on a gray to a black sleeveless dress that came just past her knees, around her waist was a brown belt and she had a pair of tight brown pants underneath. She had a pair of dark brown leather boots on that came to the middle of her shin, and tied up on the right sides. Around her neck was a black collar with a red strip in the middle.
She was very pretty in Naru's eyes but an odd girl as well. She lived alone for one reason, all alone almost a mile from to the nearest village. She was only fifth teen, and won't talk about her past at all. When he asked why she was living alone in the woods, she would just shrug and smile at him. He stopped asking after a little while.
"Just a few more minutes Yuki! I'm almost done here!" Naru called back to her. She frowned at him and he chuckled slightly before turning back to his work. He lifted the ax once again and with his muscles he hit the piece of wood in front of him, splitting it in two.
"Well don't blame me if your ramen get's cold!" The girl known as Yuki yelled at him. Naru perked up and looked back at the smiling girl. He nodded, then laid the ax beside the freshly cut pieces of wood. He then picked up the small stack he had and walked up to the front door of his home of the past two years. It was just a simple, wooden cabin; all around them was woods, so it was the perfect place to live, in his view anyway. Yuki seemed happy with it too, but sometimes he could tell she was slightly sad, why he didn't know. He had stopped asking because she never talked about it.
He walked through the doors and could already smell the sweet homemade ramen. The blonde quickly laid the fire wood beside the chimney, his blonde hair coming in front of his eyes. It had grown since he came to live with Yuki; it wasn't as spiky as it was. It lay on his shoulders nicely and spiked in the back, but framed his tan face perfectly. He had gotten a better build as well, it wasn't as if he was weak, no, it was just he had a lot of baby fat when he came to live with Yuki. She used to tease him about it all the time, but slowly that fat turned to hard muscle.
He walked out of the living room, and into the kitchen. Even if the cabin was in the woods, she had water and a sewer system and everything needed. Yuki put a bowl on the hand crafted table and smiled at Naru. The blonde smiled back and sat down in a dark wooden chair. Yuki sat in the chair a crossed from him, a bowl of homemade ramen in front of her.
"So it looks like you've grown Naru. All that baby fat is gone too." Yuki teased and chuckled slightly while he grinned at her. He didn't have a shirt on, showing off his tan, six pack. He had on a pair of dark blue Kaki's with brown leather sandals.
"Yep, it's all muscle now!" Naru boasted and Yuki just giggled slightly before blowing on the noodles and shoving them into her mouth. Naru following her example without hesitation.
"So going into town today?" Naru asked and Yuki nodded.
"Yep, I have a few things to get." Yuki said and put another batch of noodles in her mouth. Naru nodded.
"Want some help?" Naru asked as he finished his bowl off already. Yuki smiled but shook her head at him, her eyes becoming a lighter blue; no hint of green what so ever.
"Nope, you stay here and finish chopping wood. It's going to get cold tonight again. We're going to need the wood to warm this house up." Yuki said and Naru eyed her for a second before nodding. He had never seen Yuki angry before, it just never happened. So he always wondered if her eyes would change if she got angry. Naru had only seen Yuki, happy, or sad, and even when she's sad it's not that big of a deal. The only thing Naru ever had to worry about was when she got sick in the winter.
"Alright, if you don't want help I won't go. Just be careful Yuki, I don't want anything to happen to you." Naru said and then stood, taking the bowl with him to the sink and rinsing it off. Yuki frowned at him slightly.
"I'll be fine you know that Naru. But what are you afraid will happen to me?" Yuki asked, turning to look at her house mate. Naru shrugged and leaned against the counter to look at her.
"I don't know, bandits maybe. Yuki you don't look strong, I know you are but you don't look it. You'd be the perfect target for thieves." Naru said and Yuki smiled at him slightly.
"I'll be fine Naru really. You don't have to worry about me, the people in the village knows me. They all love me, you see it every time we go, and today's no different." Yuki said before picking up her bowl and handing it to him. Naru took the bowl and laid it in the sink, letting the water run into it.
"I know they like you and all. But we're almost a mile away; anything could happen between there and here." Naru said, Yuki frowned at him.
"You're never like this when I leave. What's wrong Hun?" Yuki asked standing up. Naru sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
"I don't know Yuki… I just don't want you going alone today for some reason." Naru said and Yuki smiled, she leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek.
"It's because today is your birthday!" Yuki explained and Naru looked at her with a raised eyebrow. Yuki giggled slightly at him, he wasn't surprised that she kissed him on the cheek; it was something she would do on occasions. They weren't 'involved', Yuki thought of him as a brother, and Naru thought of Yuki as a sister, or maybe a mother sometimes.
"My birthday?" Naru asked uncertain, Yuki nodded.
"Today is the day I found you in the woods, remember!" Yuki explained and Naruto's eyes became wide.
"Oh yeah! I forgot about that!" Naruto said with a huge grin and pulled Yuki in for a hug. Yuki laughed as he lifted her off the ground and spun with her in his arms. Yuki kissed him on the cheek after he sat her down on her feet.
"No wonder I didn't want you to leave, I just didn't want to be alone." Naru said and Yuki chuckled slightly.
"I won't be long I promise. I'll take Swiss with me if you like." Yuki said and Naru nodded. Swiss was their horse, she wasn't old, and she was fast it need be. The stable for their horse was just behind the cabin; that was another one of Naru's chores was to take care of Swiss.
"Okay, I'll go get her!" Naru said and quickly left. Yuki chuckled at his retreating form, and then turned off the still running water before going into her room that was connected to the kitchen. She grabbed the small little bag that held her money and tied it to her belt before hooking her dagger on the other side. Naru was right, it was a mile away to the village and there were bandits sometimes so Yuki always wore a dagger to warn them. Even if sometimes it never worked, but Naru usually fought them off, Yuki knew Naru wasn't a normal person, but she didn't care. Naru was Naru and she loved him all the same.
Yuki waved goodbye to Naru who had gotten Swiss and helped Yuki up on the tall horse. Yuki shook the reins and the horse galloped off down the path away from their cabin. Naru smiled to himself, life was perfect, and he loved being with Yuki. But he couldn't help but feel something missing, something that was always nagging in the back of his mind, but he quickly pushed it farther back, afraid of what it was.
"What did you do with him bastard?" Screamed a pink haired girl up at the raven that stood looking smug. There was sighs of an explosion, around the pink haired girl or should I say ninja. There were three others who stood beside the girl, one looked slightly like the raven himself, but with shorter hair, and it was pale black. He was also paler, then the raven boy. The other two were Anbu each wearing two different masks, one a weasel, and the other an eagle. The raven frowned at the fuming girl.
"What did I do to who Sakura?" He asked, she glared harder at him.
"Sasuke, don't lie to me. What'd you do, burn him, or maybe you let him drowned? WHAT!" She screamed hysterical at the end.
"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked.
"Naruto you bastard! What did you do with Naruto?" Sakura hissed out, her eyes narrowing for all their worth. Sasuke looked slightly taken aback from her sentence, he them looked around noticing there was no blonde haired blue eyed ninja around anywhere. He could have been one of the Anbu, but then Sakura wouldn't be asking him what he did with the dobe.
"What about Naruto?" Sasuke asked. Sakura looked pissed, he had never seen her so serious. It was new for him to find that she wasn't in 'love' with him any longer.
"You know what!" Sakura yelled back at him. Sasuke frowned at the girl.
"Obviously I don't Sakura." Sasuke said. Sakura was shaking slightly, she had hoped finding Sasuke she would find Naruto, but it wasn't looking like it. Tears sprang in her eyes and threaten to drip down her cheeks. It was the look a like that spoke next.
"Uzumaki Naruto was found missing two years again, along with traitor Uchiha Sasuke. The only thing found of either was both forehead protectors by the valley of death." The other said, Sakura looked to him.
"Sai…" Sakura trailed off and tears fell finally, Sasuke's eyes widened as he took in the information.
"But… I didn't…" Sasuke said and Sakura rounded on him once again, tears sprang from her eyes.
"Don't lie! You killed him! Or left him to die! What did you do?" Sakura demanded. Sakura looked to one of the Anbu who was fidgeting slightly, and looked ready to run.
"Why didn't you tell me he was missing?" Sasuke asked venom in his voice. Sakura looked to the weasel Anbu who stopped and looked up at Sasuke.
"Wasn't part of your mission." The Anbu spoke up and Sasuke's hand gripped tighter.
"No, you just didn't want me to bail on my mission to find Naruto." Sasuke hissed at him. All three of his teammates looked to the weasel Anbu.
"What's going on here? I don't understand." Sakura voiced, her tears faded away. Sasuke sighed and appeared neck to her.
"My mission was to leave for Orochimaru, and to send reports, via birds to Anbu captain. I have heard no news that Naruto was missing since I started this mission." Sasuke stated and Sakura looked at him with wide eyes.
"So you mean that you…" Sakura said and Sasuke shook his head.
"No, I'm no traitor to Konoha. Yes I want revenge on Itachi, but not at the price of betraying my village. Yes I want power and Orochimaru has given me that power, but I wouldn't have done it if it weren't a mission." Sasuke said and Sakura looked to the weasel Anbu.
"So then why did Tsunade have Naruto go and try to get you when you left?" Sakura asked and Sasuke shrugged.
"I'm not too sure… I think it was to test me, or something. Maybe she wanted to make sure I lived through the transformation. I don't know… but I bet it was to make it look like I betrayed the village." Sasuke said. Sakura shook her head.
"But it still doesn't make sense why Tsunade wouldn't tell you that Naruto disappeared." Sakura said and they all looked once again to the weasel Anbu who seemed to be in a very bad position at the moment.
"Well… she told me too… but I didn't think it was valid to tell him." The Anbu stuttered and then backed up when four glares were sported his way.
"Hokage-sama ordered you to tell me! You disobeyed that order! How dare you! It's not your position to decide whether or not I know he disappeared or not!" Sasuke yelled at him. Sakura fisted her hands.
"So you really don't know what happened to him Sasuke?" Sakura asked and Sasuke looked to her before shaking his head slowly.
"We fought, I barely defeated him. Then I laid him on the ground, my forehead protector next to his head. I felt a presence of Kakashi and Iruka so I split… I thought Kakashi found him and took him back." Sasuke said and tears sprang back into her eyes.
"Kakashi only found his forehead protector on top of yours. It was raining so there was no scent of either of you." Sakura said her voice cracking. Sasuke looked to Sai who was looking to the ground, he felt stupid for attacking Sasuke now. He wasn't sure what type of relationship team seven had, but losing Naruto and Sasuke had put Sakura almost over the edge.
"Come on." Sasuke said and started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Sakura asked, Sasuke turned and gave her a small smile.
"Back to Konoha." Sasuke said and the weasel Anbu stepped forward.
"You're mission-" He said, Sasuke rounded on him, his Sharingan activated.
"My mission is over; if you would have told me soon that Naruto was missing I would have stayed but had sent scouts out looking for him. But sense you were stupid enough not to follow orders by the Hokage her self; I am force to leave this mission to find my teammate." Sasuke hissed at him and the weasel stepped forward.
"You can't just quite a-" He went to say, but what happened stunned everyone. A fist connected with the Anbu masked, causing it to crack slightly at the top. The Anbu went spinning into the wall. Dust had picked up and when it settled Sasuke smirked. Sakura stood there panting slightly, her fist tightened in her pink gloves. Her right arm still in the air where it had hit the Anbu in the face.
The others were stunned, they couldn't move. Even the Anbu didn't want to say anything in fear of getting hit by that. They knew she had worked under Tsunade, but they didn't think she was that strong or fast. The weasel pulled himself up and stared at Sakura.
"How dare you-" He went to say and Sakura growled.
"No how dare you! It's because of you that Naruto is still missing!" Sakura yelled, the Anbu stood.
"Why do you care for that monster so much? He's nothing but the nine-tails!" He yelled at both Sakura and Sasuke. Sakura narrowed her eyes at the Anbu, but it was Sasuke who acted. He had the Anbu pinned against the wall in a matter of seconds.
"Don't ever call Naruto a monster again. He's a better person then you will ever be. If you even dare speak his name again, I will kill you." Sasuke hissed and let him fall to the ground. Sasuke turned around and started to walk away, Sakura and Sai smirked at the fallen Anbu before hurrying after Sasuke. The other Anbu shook his head, and picked his shaken comrade up and ran to catch up with the others.
"Why do you guys care so much about him?" Sai asked clearly confused. Sakura put a hand on Sasuke's shoulder telling him that Sai wasn't really normal in the case of friendship and other emotions. Sasuke sighed.
"Because Naruto is my first bond after my clan was killed. He was the person who didn't see me as the last Uchiha, but as a human being. He was the only person who didn't try to win my heart over, but instead rivaled with me, and insulted me." Sasuke said, smiling lightly at the thought of his blue eyed friend.
"Why would you care about someone who insulted you?" Sai asked. Sasuke chuckled slightly.
"My whole life people praised me, told me I was perfect. But Naruto… he's different… he didn't care that I was an Uchiha… he thought I was a stuck up bastard. So we fought, and rivaled… and because of that rivalry we became stronger and closer. He's probably the closest to a best friend I have." Sasuke said and Sakura nodded. Sai sighed.
"I still don't get it. But if you didn't take him with you then what happened?" Sai asked. Sakura because wide eyed at something and she stopped. Sasuke and Sai looked back at her.
"What if… what if Akatsuki got him?" Sakura asked in panic. Sasuke shook his head.
"Akatsuki doesn't have Naruto trust me on that one." Sasuke said and both Sai and Sakura looked at him questioning.
"How do you know?" Sakura asked.
"Because Orochimaru is obsessed with Akatsuki, I read his reports on Akatsuki because it had my brother in it. From what I know, Akatsuki is still after Naruto." Sasuke said and Sakura let a sigh of relief out.
"So if Akatsuki doesn't have him… then who does?" Sakura wondered out loud.
"I don't know… but who ever it is better not have hurt him." Sasuke hissed, his eye narrowing at nothing.
