Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

"Naruto, you're nothing but an overgrown child!" Sakura yelled, seeing her boyfriend of three months hanging by a foot from a tree. She would never understand why he insisted on frightening her. His childish antics at getting her attention would soon get him killed.

"Aw, Sakura, don't be like that! I know what I'm doing, I wouldn't really fall."

"Accidents happen! Now get down from there!"

With a sigh, he jumped from the tree, landing on his feet next to her. "You don't need to worry that much, Sakura. I won't get hurt."

"Hurt? HURT?! You're going to kill yourself doing things like that! You're acting like a two year old!"

Naruto glanced around for support from Sasuke, but he had left the small clearing, realizing that the two would soon be in an argument, which seemed to happen more often since they had started dating. "Do we have to go over this again?" he asked, pouting. "I already know what you're gonna say."

She glared at him. "I doubt you do, Naruto. Now listen to me closely. I said yes to you because I thought that you were getting better. You saved my life against Gaara, you've been getting stronger. For a while, I had thought you were getting more mature, too.

"But now," she shook her head. "Now I realize that you'll never get better, you'll never grow up." She looked at him in the eyes. "You'll never be Sasuke. I can't be with you any more. We're over."

Naruto stared at her, his eyes wide. He wanted to speak, but couldn't. He wanted to move, to touch her, to make sure this was a daydream gone awry, but his hands refused to move from his side. He simply watched as she turned away from him and went into the woods, searching for Sasuke.

Naruto sat on the ground, his eyes not moving from where she had entered the woods. This can't be happening, he thought to himself. She knew I couldn't be Sasuke, she said she didn't care. All this time, she was lying to me. She still wanted him

After a few minutes, he stood up. He could hear Sakura and Sasuke returning. The only thing that went through his head was that he couldn't let them see him like that. He couldn't let them know how upset he was.

Without another thought, he ran out of the clearing, away from the other two ninjas. Away from everything he knew. Away from his whole life and few people who actually understood him. Away from Sakura, Iruka, Kakashi, and the others who he had managed to become friends with. But most of all, he ran away from Sasuke, the one person he knew understood him the most. The one person he looked up to the most, but also the one person he knew he could never be like. At least not without changing everything he was, everything he believed in.

He swore then that he'd come back to the village. He swore that when he returned, no one would know who he was. And, most of all, Sakura would come to regret leaving him. He wouldn't sit around and mope over losing her. He would move on with his dreams of becoming Hokage, he would become the best ninja their village had ever seen.

I know it's short, but it is just the prologue. The upcoming chapters will be longer. I'm not sure exactly how this story will go, I just got the urge to write it. What I do know, though, is that it will be Naruto/Sasuke, and that means it WILL be yaoi. If you don't likie, don't readie
