Without you
It's a waste of time)

Naruto's POV

Now it's not that easy, being the only child of The Beloved and The Requiem, but he made it happen. Sort of. Even with having that ridicules name, (how they got The Fragaria (1) from Beloved and Requiem, he shall never know) the blond haired dobe still got a decent education, (which wasn't much to say for the other's in his class) perfect manners, (though the only time he was ever polite were during formal occasions) and had grown from a darling little boy to a handsome young man.

Naruto sighed, even through all that, why did he feel like something was missing? The blond stared with mild boredom at the endless expanse of woods and exotic plants of his father's estate. A lonesome man-eating rose drifted up from its humble pot to greet the young prince with a loving caress of its long vine.

"Hello Roseanne" A small smile slowly made his way on his face. Though he had many chances to make friends with other children like him, Naruto found that they were all self centered and paraded around others money. It was better to leave them be in their little worry free world.

Naruto absentmindly stroked the plants forehead; it made a soft purring noise and clicked its razor teeth as a dog would wag its tail in pleasure. The teen, sighing once more, let his hand drift from the deadly carnivore's head to the iron fence on top of the balcony he was standing on.

"Why is it…that I feel so empty? Every day of every month of every year, I feel something calling me, but what…or who?" Naruto let out a frustrated sigh, angrily thrusting his suntanned hand through his unruly blond hair.

"…I just don't understand" The young prince let silence over take him, silently returning his hand to the plant's head. Only after a long while was it was disturbed by a soft knocking at the door that led to the balcony. Giving a quick glance to the glass door he let out a chaste "come in".

A 16 year old girl hesitantly stepped in and closed the door softly after her. "Fra-fragaria-sama, there is someone for you at the door." The girl's voice was so soft and quiet, if Naruto had not already been accustomed to such light vocal tones, he would have missed it completely.

"Hinata…" Narutos face gave a pained look before giving a cheerful grin. The violet haired girl was about the only one who he liked in the entire mansion, even though she was a bit timid and a part-time maid.

"There's no need to talk to me like that! I though you knew that!" The blond haired beauty did not restrain the urge to place his hands behind his head, as he often had to do with company. The silly grin from before remained on his face, easily dispelling any unease the girl was feeling.

She bobbed her head quickly in understanding before remembering that she had not come for a simple chat.

"Na-naruto-kun…" although the two were on first name terms with each other, the violet haired girl still called him with a bit of formality. "There's someone at the door for you" she finished off with a small smile.

"huh?" 'someone for me?' Naruto scratched his forehead with his index finger. Thinking of who would ever request an audience with him.

"Who is it Hinata-chan?" he asked after coming up with nothing.

The girl raised her hand to rest lightly on her lips. She curled the fingers slightly to make a small fist. Her brow furrowed in confusion as she nervously shifted her weight to her right foot.

"Well…" she started off hesitantly "I'm not sure who it really is, he just asked to see you." A single finger curled out to lightly tap her lips. "He seemed to know you…though."

Naruto tilted his head in confusion. "He just wanted to meet me?"

"He just wanted to meet you" Hinata confirmed.

Naruto seemed to mull this over for a bit, it was rare for anyone to request a meeting with him, however important. He gave an impish grin, 'might as well have some fun'

"All right Hinata-chan, can you take me to him?" The girl gave a single nod and motioned for him to follow.

Along the way to the door, the pair talked aimlessly of random things, of what desert the cook was making tonight, of which type of flower had bloomed recently and of what kind of music sounded most pleasing right now.

This was what Naruto adored about his best friend, they never talked of the "Titles" or of the "wealth" that each family possess. In truth Hinata's family was very well off, but Naruto's family decided it would be best if Naruto would start looking for someone to spend more time with and eventually forever. So they made a deal with the Hyuuga family and Hinata, The Quintessence (2), was given the position she had now in exchange for a "Secret" (3)

Naruto would never forgive his father for that.

In almost no time, the two were already heading down the stairs that lead to the door. Before even giving a glance, Naruto felt a shudder run through his entire body. A man with raven hair and obsidian eyes waited at the bottom of the mahogany stairs.

The moment they came face to face, Naruto's breath hitched. The man was beautiful, with porcelain skin unmarred by any blemish, lush lips, and dark enthralling eyes. Naruto suddenly felt incredibly dizzy and collapsed into the man's waiting outstretched arms.

"Naruto!" the boy barely registered the girl's frantic cry as he was overwhelmed by the warm fragrance of vanilla and the bitter strong smell of coffee. A soft hum vibrating from the man in front of him filled his ears. Naruto suddenly flinched as a bright flash of light filled his eyes.

In an instant, the world burst into crimson flames as the tendrils of fire licked at the edges of the semi-conscious teen's line of vision. Though the fire raged and burned around him, all Naruto felt was the calming and warm embrace of the man. Darkness steadily creped closer as he gently succumbed to sleep.

"Welcome to my game Naru-tan…" in a vague recess of his mind, Naruto thought he heard some one utter those words before succumbing to the sleep the dark promised.
