"Wh-what are you doing here?!" A blonde boy screamed into the darkness of his apartment. A dark figure stood before him.
"I am here for you, Naruto-kun." The older mans cloak brushed the hardwood floor as he walked toward the blonde.
"No I will not let you take the Kyuubi from me!!" The screams he had bellowed turned his throat raw.
"We do not want the kyuubi anymore, we want you. You have much more potential and control then the nine tails ever did." The raven haired mand brushed his calloused fingers across the kitsunes soft cheek. This act caused him to become shaken. "Join the Akatsuki Naruto-kun. We can give you more kindness and respect then this filth of a village ever could." He gave the boy a moment to think.
"I-I-" Naruto couldn't mutter a word as the shock set in. The taller figures blood red eyes pierced his, it looked almost like his childhood friend's. But, there was something there. Something that Sasuke had never held. And, even though he could not realize what it was, it would be almost comforting. Of course, it would be comforting if the eyes didn't belong to a mass murderer.
"I will give you exactly 24 hours. Until then, Naruto-kun." A sigh of relief escaped the blondes lips as the figure made his way through the opened window. Would he want to go to the Akatsuki? Would he take the chance of betrayal? Naruto thought about this for a while. Until finally making his descision. He would tell his secret love his feelings, and if he rejected him, he would leave. But, if he accepted him, he would stay. Easy enough.
If only he knew a way to tell Sasuke he loved him.
The day went on as usual for a certain blonde haired boy. And his long training ended as he fell to the ground in exaustion. A small smile filed with sadness placed itself upon his lips. How would he chose now? In less then two hours as well. A small breeze carressed Naruto's tan skin.
"Would he love me if I told him?" Naruto asked himself. And he was shocked when a raven haired male answered him.
"Love who, dobe?" Naruto jumped in surprise.
"Fuck, Sasuke. Don't sneak up on me like that." Sasuke just 'hn'ed, and restated his question.
"Who do you love, dobe?" Naruto shook his head. Smiling he said.
"Sakura-chan. Of course." Saasuke looked annoyed.
"You're lying. You said the word 'him', so who do you like?"
"I told you! Sakura-chan!" Sasuke grabbed the scruff of the blondes collar and pushed him up into a tree.
"Stop lying dobe. Just tell me who you like!" Sasuke was beyond annoyed now. He was just plain pissed.
"Why are you so desperate to figure out who I like?! You would have never cared before!" Sasuke responded by pushing Naruto into the tree even more. That would no doubt, leave a bruise. Naruto groaned from the pain. "Fine! I'll tell you! I like you, okay?! I fucking like, you!"
Sasuke was completely taken aback. He dropped Naruto, backing away slowly. Naruto fell to his hands and knees from the lack of support. The blonde looked up. A felling of hurt swelled up inside of him, and it clearly was shown in his sky blue eyes.
"Sa-su-ke." Naruto stuttered slowly. He tried to get up and walk toward his raven haired love, but the other walked backward.
"Don't touch me, you fag! I never want to see you again!" And with that, Sasuke poofed away in a blind rage. That night, Naruto walked home crying his shattered heart out.
Two hours later
Itachi landed in Naruto's empty room. He had expected to see the blonde kitsune there waiting for him; or a couple of ANBU. But instead he was welcomed by sobs coming from the other room. The raven walked into what seemed to be the bathroom, only to find a sobbing blonde boy with bleeding wrists.
Though Itachi did not show it, he was nearly in shock. He had never imagined the boy to resort to this under any circumstances. It went against everything he stood for. But, he sat, bleeding on the bathroom floor. Itachi mentally sighed. Walking over to the sink, he reached for the first aid kit. He soon found the gauze, and tried to wrap them around the bleeding boy's wounds, but Naruto jerked his arms away from him.
"Why?" Naruto asked in a voice that nearly broke the Uchiha's heart.
"You are an asset to the Akatsuki, we can not have you dying on us can we?" Naruto sniffed and nodded a shaky 'no'. He handed his arms over to the Uchiha, so he could tend to the wounds. "What did you use to cut yourself?" Itachi asked. He would no doubt have to report this to the leader, pein.
"My-my nails." A shaky voice replied. Itachi could tell that Naruto was holding back the urge to cry even more. Naruto bit his lip and tried to focus on the Uchiha infront of him. Only to see if he would try to attack him or not, of course. Naruto only watched as the stoic Uchiha Itachi wrapped the bandage around his arm. Itachi noticed that Naruto was biting his lip aswell.
"Naruto, do you know what it means to 'bite your lip'?" Naruto nodded.
"To not say something." Itachi nodded in confirmation.
"Then what are you not saying?" Naruto shook his head.
"N-nothing." Itachi let it go, of course being one not to talk he had observed alot in his line of work. And he knew by now that when he kitsune's breath was shaky, it meant that he was lying. Of course the boy was so good at hiding this fact, that Itachi could barely sense the uneven in and outtakes, of breath.
"I am all finished, Naruto-kun. Are you ready to leave now?" Naruto nodded, pasting a large grin on his face. Itachi would believe that he was actually happy, if it were not for the fact that he had dry tears on his cheeks. The raven 'hn'ed and jumped out of the window, Naruto closely in tow.
That was a silent night for konoha.
