The Wish
Summary: Naruto made a wish on a shooting star after seeing Sasuke reject Sakura harshly. He wished that Sasuke never existed, and his wish was granted! He has a choice, go find Sasuke and bring him back or forget about him completely and claim Sakura as his own.
Prologue
"Sasuke-kun, I do love you! Why do you hate me this much?"
"I already explained you will be nothing more then a friend to me."
"But….Sasuke-kun….I thought if I let you cool off for a few months you would accept me."
"I can only accept you as a friend and a teammate; no relationship will ever start between us."
"Sasuke…kun…" Footsteps made it clear that Sakura ran away.
Naruto could no longer stand hiding; he wanted to hurt Sasuke until he felt the pain that Sakura was feeling. Only the fact that Sakura would be sad again held him back; he crept out hoping that Sasuke never noticed. He never noticed that Sasuke's fists were bleeding; he was in too much rage to care about anything Sasuke was doing. It took a deal of self control not to strangle Sasuke in the hospital right then. He made his way to the roof of the hospital and watched Sakura's trembling back.
"Sakura-chan!"
"Naruto, don't deny it, you heard everything. Didn't you."
"Sakura-chan, I don't understand……he breaks your heart every time, but you try again even though you know what will happen!"
Sakura turned toward him and gave a small smile wiping the tears off the corners of her eyes. Naruto would never forget those words that made him do the next thing.
"Naruto…if Sasuke-kun didn't exist then maybe just maybe I would love you."
Naruto's self control just collapsed, he just walked up to her and kissed her. Surprisingly she accepted and deepened the kiss.
They were too entranced in the attention they wanted they never noticed the single drop of water that fell even though it was a cloudless day.
Sakura suddenly jerked away as if she just remembered it was Naruto and walked toward the door that lead off the roof. She stopped briefly and said, "My heart belongs to Sasuke-kun, I'm sorry Naruto. Only if Sasuke-kun didn't…maybe I would…"
She ran out the door, but Naruto knew she was crying. He sighed and walked home slowly.
Lying on his bed he glanced around the room, his eyes settled on a picture. The picture that they took when team seven started, Naruto was glaring at Sasuke. That brought up the memory of what happened this afternoon, his reawakening rage boiled inside of him.
He found it very stuffy and opened the window; he looked out into the starry night, a shooting star passed by. His eyes widened as he recounted the rumor of wishing upon a shooting star.
Just below a whisper he murmured his wish, only the wind knew what he said. The wind took it to the stars, it howled.
"I wish Uchiha Sasuke never existed."
If Naruto listened hard enough he would have heard the wind howl the stars reply.
"Your wish is granted."
A/N: There is nothing really to say. I just hope that this chapter doesn't seem rushed. Flames appreciated, comments please.
