Naruto stood still. A slight wind ruffled his hair as he wrapped his arms around himself. It was a cold evening, and the only light was the full moon that hung high in the sky. Naruto closed his eyes, as he doubted his decision on going to sasuke's. I have to tell him, I have to say what I need him to know.. Naruto took a deep breath and carried on walking. This has to be done, I have to do this.. He kicked a stone roughly out of his path as the unexpected happened. Naruto tensed as he saw a shadow approaching and his hand inched near to his kunai pouch; this wouldn't be the first time he had been attacked on one of his nightly walks, enemy ninja were so sneaky nowadays! I hope whoever it is, isn't after me; I have something to do before I die.. He thought grimly. Naruto nervously pulled out a kunai and concealed it behind his back, biting his lip in anticipation of identifying the figure. This situation resolved itself faster than Naruto thought, as the figure came close enough for Naruto to recognize it. "S…sasuke!" Naruto said. The figure turned to look at Naruto and dark eyes widened in shock "Naruto? What are you doing here?" Naruto shrugged.

"I could ask you the same thing." Sasuke had stopped walking now and he opened his mouth to tell Naruto why he was here, when he was interrupted. "Nevermind, this wasn't supposed to happen here but I was on my way to see you anyway, so I guess there's no time like the present." Naruto really had Sasuke confused now.

"Dobe, why would you want to see me this late, and what do you mean by this wasn't supposed to happen here?" Naruto closed his eyes in a vain attempt to stop himself from crying. Swallowing, he opened his eyes to see a worried face staring at him and blinking out more silent tears he gripped the kunai tighter. "Naruto, what's wrong? Have you been attacked?" sasuke asked eyeing the kunai in the blonds hand.

"No, I saw you and I thought you might be an enemy ninja." Sasuke pressed on

"So what's going on?" asked sasuke, concerned. This is it, so I might as well come out with it all. Naruto took a large intake of air and ignoring the tears that were now streaming down him face he began. "I decided that I can't take it anymore, I used to be able to cope, but I can't anymore. Fuck, It's just getting worse…" Naruto closed his eyes, more tears spilling as he finished. He moved closer to sasuke as he whispered, "I can't help this, I didn't want this it just happened, I've fallen… in love with… you, sasuke. It hurts so much just knowing that you don't feel the same way and I cant live without your love… I'm sorry, I just wanted you to know this." Naruto, before sasuke could wake from his shocked state, kissed him lightly on the lips before stabbing himself roughly in the heart. Sasuke snapped back as he saw Naruto fall suddenly to the ground. "Naruto? Are you okay?" sasuke dropped to his side, his eyes widening in horror as he saw the kunai lodged painfully in Naruto's chest. He swiftly pulled out the kunai; hoping that was the right thing to do and ignoring the crimson covering he now had, picked Naruto up bridal style and ran to the village. "Hang on Naruto, Tsunade can help you."

Minutes later, sasuke burst into the hokage's office, abandoning all thoughts of apologizing for bursting in so late. "Tsunade-sama! Naruto, he stabbed himself, he's bleeding a lot- you have to help him!" Sasuke ran over to a shocked Tsunade, and showed her Naruto. She took one look at Naruto's pale face and the red liquid that covered both boys and realized this was bad. "Put him on the floor gently and remove his jacket! Shizune, call a medical squad immediately!" she ordered pulling off her jacket and throwing it to the floor. Shizune hurried out of the office as Tsunade performed several seals. Soon her hands were glowing as she pressed them against Naruto's wound. Sasuke knelt by Naruto helplessly watching as more blood seeped from the blonde. Please, no… please be alright, please, please hold on Naruto… a group of Medic Nin burst into the office hurrying Naruto onto the stretcher. They carried him away quickly, attaching drips and blood packs as they went. "He's going to be okay, right?" sasuke asked Tsunade. She turned around to face sasuke. "I wont sugar-coat this. That wound was very deep. The amount of blood loss and the degree of damage, he may not make it through the night." She saw the horrified look on Sasuke's face, and decided to tell him the good news as well. "However, if he does proceed through the night, his chances from then on will only improve." Sasuke nodded. His brain hadn't taken anything in past where she had said 'may not make it through the night.' Sasuke replayed these words in his head, hoping he had heard her wrong. This was the last thing he remembered before he passed out.
