Hidden Desires
Chapter One: Trapped
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were on a training mission deep in the forest 25 miles outside of their village, Konohagakure. All was going well as team seven practiced combination attacks, chakra control, hiding their chakra signatures, and sneak attacks. The team was doing surprisingly well today. There was no arguing, fighting, or Sakura flirting with Sasuke which was rather unusual.
They had been training for two and a half hours now and usually within the first ten minutes Sakura is flirting with Sasuke and Naruto is doing something to annoy Sasuke and Sakura which gets him a beat down from Sakura and then all hell breaks loose. Oddly enough they were all getting along rather well…at the moment at least (this isn't a sense of foreboding it's just all good things come to an end eventually). Finally Sakura mentioned she was hungry and that they should all take a break.
Sasuke nodded in silent agreement but Naruto didn't want to stop yet. Instead he wandered around waiting for the other two to hurry up. Finally he sat down in a huff, crossed his arms, sighed, and pouted. This annoyed Sakura because she was hoping to eat lunch with Sasuke alone while Naruto continued to wander around. She glared at him and Naruto saw her face.
"What the hell did I do this time Sakura?" Naruto asked exasperated.
Sasuke looked up from his lunch and saw Sakura glaring daggers at Naruto when he didn't even do anything to her.
"Why must you ruin it every single time Naruto?" The kunoichi growled out.
"Ruin what? What did I ruin? I haven't said or done anything!"
"Dammit, why don't you just get lost no one wants you around anyway!!" The pink haired girl shouted.
Naruto's breath caught in his throat when Sakura said that. He looked down at the ground, his hair hiding his eyes and the now forming tears.
"…Fine…" Naruto's voice was a barely audible whisper.
He then stood up and ran off, away from Sakura and Sasuke. Sakura was glad he was gone now and was about to start talking to Sasuke until she saw the look on his face. Sasuke was so pissed that Sakura could feel the anger emanating from his body. The look in his eyes scared her even more than his anger though, his eyes looked murderous.
"What the hell did you say that to him for? He didn't even do anything to you!!" Sasuke yelled.
He then stood up and ran after Naruto leaving a depressed looking Sakura behind. Sasuke found him fifteen minutes later sitting outside a cave entrance. He walked up to him but Naruto heard Sasuke before he reached him and stood up, walking into the cave. Sasuke followed calling Naruto's name and asking him to wait. Naruto ignored him and continued further into the cave before Sasuke grabbed his harm and stopped him from going any further.
Naruto didn't try to pull his arm away or fight Sasuke off, but stood still as stone, his arm limp in Sasuke's grasp. Naruto tried as hard as he could to keep the tears in his eyes from falling but failed. Then Sasuke turned Naruto around to face him. Sasuke saw the tears silently falling from Naruto's gorgeous, bright blue eyes. He raised his hand to Naruto's face and gently wiped the tears away. Naruto blushed as soon as Sasuke's hand touched his face and so did Sasuke.
At first they stared at each other for a few minutes. Neither of them moved, Sasuke with his hand still on Naruto's cheek, and Naruto still trying to keep his tears under control. Naruto couldn't hold back any further and finally burst into sobs, throwing himself into Sasuke's arms. Sasuke embraced Naruto, drawing the weeping blonde closer to him and whispered words of comfort.
"Naruto don't listen to that bitch alright?"
"B-but sh-she's r-r-right!! No one w-w-wants me a-around!"
"You're wrong Naruto. I want you around."
Naruto looked up at Sasuke at last, his face tear stained. Sasuke wiped away his tears again and then leaned down and kissed Naruto ever so gently. Naruto's eyes widened in shock but soon slowly closed them, kissing Sasuke back. Sasuke pulled back a few seconds later and stared into Naruto's blue eyes again. Naruto looked into Sasuke's onyx colored eyes for a few seconds before closing the gap between their lips once more.
Sasuke wrapped his arms tighter around the younger teens waist while Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck. Sasuke then licked and lightly bit Naruto's bottom lip, begging for entrance into his mouth. Naruto complied and parted his lips and felt Sasuke's tongue wander around his mouth, memorizing every detail. Then their tongues came together in a dance of ecstasy, causing each other to moan. They made out passionately like this for a good ten minutes before the need of oxygen became too much to ignore. As they broke apart they heard a sharp gasp near the cave's entrance.
They looked to where the sound came from and there stood Sakura, her face contorted in surprise, anger, betrayal, and hatred. Sasuke and Naruto stared at her, their faces red as strawberries. They released each other and stepped two inches apart, both boys staring at the pink haired girl. Sakura finally stepped forward, heading to Naruto, slowly. Sasuke didn't know what Sakura was going to do but he knew it was nothing good so he kept a sharp eye on her.
When Sakura reached the blonde before her all she did was stare at him, anger and hatred flashing in her eyes. Then she slapped Naruto right across his face leaving a clear handprint on his right cheek. Then she pulled out a kunai and lunged at him. Sasuke moved so fast neither Sakura or Naruto saw him. All they saw was that he was suddenly standing between them, griping tight in his left hand Sakura's wrist.
"Ow! S-Sasuke what are you doing?!" Sakura cried out in pain.
"Don't ever touch him again you stupid, talent less, bitch!" Sasuke shouted at the pink haired kunoichi.
Sasuke then threw her back and she fell. As she stood up she saw Sasuke hug Naruto to him and heard what he said to the blonde ninja.
"Naruto, are you alright?" Sasuke asked quietly.
"Y-yeah…" Naruto answered uncertainly.
Sasuke rubbed the red spot, where Sakura had slapped him, gently. Naruto flinched slightly but the pain, from when Sasuke first touched the sore spot, went away. The raven then hugged Naruto to him tightly, placing a soft kiss on the blonde's temple. Sakura couldn't believe this was happening. She lost Sasuke to another person and a guy no less! Her eyes slowly filled with tears as she pulled herself up to her full height. Then she screamed at the top of her lungs.
"SASUKE YOU'RE SUCH A FOOL! HOW COULD YOU CHOOSE HIM OVER ME?!" She then ran out of the cave, sobbing uncontrollably.
Suddenly the cave started to shake. Sasuke and Naruto looked all around them as rocks began to fall from the ceiling. Sasuke grabbed Naruto out of the way of a falling boulder just in time. As the two dodged the rocks, trying to make it to the cave entrance Sasuke's foot got caught and he tripped. Naruto saw him fall and rushed over to help him. Sasuke was standing up again just as Naruto got to him.
"Sasuke are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine naru…"
"LOOK OUT!"
Before Sasuke had time to react Naruto pushed him out of the way as an extremely huge and sharply pointed rock fell. Sasuke was pushed to the ground and didn't see what happened to Naruto. As he sat up he looked dead ahead. There was Naruto, lying on the ground, his left shoulder and side torn up and bleeding profusely. As the cave slowly stopped shaking, Sasuke rushed to Naruto's side.
"Naruto? Naruto!" Sasuke yelled out the blonde's name over and over but didn't get a response.
With panic and fear starting to boil over the top, Sasuke picked Naruto up, bridal style, and continued to run toward the cave entrance. Luckily the entrance wasn't blocked completely and Sasuke got himself and Naruto out of the collapsing cavern. When he was out in the forest again he went bolting through the trees, heading for the hospital. There wasn't much time, Naruto was loosing blood at a dangerous rate and if his wounds weren't treated soon he would die.
It took Sasuke fifteen minutes to get to the hospital. When he got inside he screamed for someone to help Naruto, to save him. A woman with black hair ran over to the raven haired teen and took Naruto from his arms.
"Follow me, now!" The woman ordered.
Sasuke did so, not wanting to leave Naruto for a second. The woman led Sasuke to a room where a blonde woman stood.
"Lady Tsunade!" The black haired woman shouted.
The blonde woman known as Tsunade turned around. Her eyes widened when she saw the state Naruto was in. The black haired woman rushed forward and carefully placed Naruto on the bed.
"What the hell happened to him Shizune?!" Tsunade asked, worried for the blonde's safety.
Tsunade placed her hands over Naruto's injuries and a pale green light emitted from them. Within minutes the injuries healed, no scars in sight.
"Are you going to answer me or not?" Tsunade asked.
"Oh! Actually I don't know, that's why I brought Mr. Uchiha here." Shizune responded, pointing at Sasuke.
"I see. Sasuke! What happened?"
"It was Sakura's fault. If she hadn't screamed while we were in the cave it wouldn't have started to cave-in. Because of her Naruto was almost killed!" Sasuke answered, shaking violently.
Sasuke's knees buckled then but Shizune caught him before he hit the floor. She helped him over to the bed Naruto was on, sitting him on the edge. Sasuke looked over at Naruto's still unconscious form. He reached out and stroked the blonde's cheek softly, his eyes never leaving Naruto's tanned face.
Tsunade and Shizune watched as Sasuke reached out to Naruto in such a loving gesture. They looked at each other then and Tsunade nodded her head towards the door, signaling Shizune to step outside with her. Shizune and Tsunade closed the door once they left, leaving Sasuke to look after Naruto for the time being.
"Shizune, I want you to find Sakura Haruno and bring her to me at once."
"Yes lady Tsunade. I'll be back soon."
Shizune turned on her heel and walked down the hall, exiting the hospital. Tsunade turned back to the room Naruto and Sasuke were in and went inside. She froze in her tracks at what she saw, a light blush creeping across her cheeks. Sasuke was laying beside Naruto with his arms wrapped around the younger teen. Naruto, now awake, had cuddled up close to Sasuke's chest, clinging to him gently. Sasuke kissed Naruto's forehead softly and then both teens fell asleep in each other's arms, tired from the day's horrible events.
Tsunade couldn't help but smile at the two boys. They looked so cute the way they were all cuddled up close like that. She moved forward and removed a blanket from the armoire in the room. She walked back over to the sleeping teens and gently covered them up. Smiling at them again Tsunade headed out of the door and closed it quietly. Leaving the boys to get their well deserved rest.
The next morning Naruto woke up and Sasuke wasn't beside him. He got up and realized he was in his own bedroom. He got out of bed and got dressed then headed out the door. He wanted to see Sasuke and ask him a question that had been on his mind since he woke up.
Naruto walked through the streets of Konoha towards Sasuke's house in silence thinking over the kiss they shared in the cave. When Naruto arrived at Sasuke's he noticed the front door was ajar. Naruto knew that Sasuke would never leave his front door open for any reason and immediately pulled out a kunai. Cautiously, Naruto stepped forward, opening the door fully. He went inside and took in the room before him. It was covered in blood and laying in the center of it was a dark figure.
Naruto rushed forward in a panic. When he got to the figure he saw the person's face. Naruto's eyes filled with tears as he looked into the empty and lifeless eyes of Sasuke Uchiha. Naruto pulled Sasuke's ice cold form into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
"It's his own fault. He was just too weak."
Naruto turned around in a flash, startled by the sudden voice. The unknown person stepped forward into what little light the dark, gore filled room gave off. Naruto's mouth fell open in fear. There before him stood Itachi Uchiha. Naruto began to shake, unable to move from the fear, gripping onto the corpse of his once best friend, rival, and beloved. Itachi came closer to the terrified blonde.
"He was weak and that is why he died. You are just as weak as him so you shall die as well…"
With that Itachi slashed a kunai at Naruto's throat the blonde screamed and then fell silent as his lifeless corpse hit the floor, landing beside Sasuke's.
