Hikari's P.O.V.
The gun clattered to the ground.
"Go on Hikari, shoot me! I did it! I killed them, and I enjoyed it. The taste of their blood on my lips, the feeling of their life slowly drain out of them. I can't deny what I am, just as you can't deny the destiny that your parents gave to you," said Sasuke. I just looked down at him, the tears that had clouded my vision running down my face. I couldn't bring my self to pick up the gun and shoot the boy in front of me. I was a hunter and I couldn't even do the one thing I was destined for.
"I can't do it, Sasuke. I would rather shoot my self a thousand times over than watch you die, let alone kill you. I didn't choose this lifestyle. It was forced upon me by my parents. That's why Naruto isn't a hunter, he told them he would run away and never come back. Even when he had been ill, he would have run away. I tried the same but it wouldn't work." Sasuke stared at me, my emerald green eyes meeting his blood red.
"You were ... forced? You didn't ... want to become a ... You wouldn't kill me even after what I have just done to most of your family. Gaara has Naruto captive. This would be the perfect time to exact your revenge ... yet you refuse?" Sasuke struggled with what I had told him. I fell to my knees before the boy, and took a deep, unsteady breath.
"Sasuke Uchiha, you are one of the most important people to me. Gaara would never hurt Naruto, they fancy each other for a start!" a small smile reached my lips, "I also know that, with every fiber of my being, I love you. I could never hate you. I am glad, because know my parents will never be able to hurt another soul. Now that they are gone, me and Naruto are safe from their evil hunter ways. I will never, as long as I live, bear ill will towards you. You are the love of my life..." I felt as if a great weight had been taken off my shoulders. Sasuke continued to stare at me, but I saw that tears had come to his eyes.
"You ... love me?" Sasuke's blood red eyes faded to his natural black as the tears escaped. He wiped the blood from his chin. I just looked at the ground. I wasn't worried about Naruto at all. I knew he was safe with Gaara, but I did wonder if Naruto had told the redhead of his love for him. "Hikari ... I meant what I said earlier. I know what I did was wrong, but I can't help the fact that I had enjoyed doing it. I am so sorry for the pain I have caused you, as well as Naruto, and now I am worried that I have ruined the relationship between me and your brother." Out of the corner of my eyes I saw a light blush creep up on Sasuke's face. "And I ... I ... I love you too..." he whispered. My head snapped up and I looked at the blush that was obvious on his face. I could feel my cheeks heat up as well, so I ducked my head down trying to hide the blush on my face from Sasuke.
"We are both quite similar," I said. Sasuke smiled at me.
"How so?" he asked. I continued to stare at the ground.
"We both have our brothers left for company, we both have done things we aren't proud of and-" I was cut off by Sasuke's lips on mine. I felt myself melt into the kiss, and I reached my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. I could feel Sasuke's arms snake around my waist. All too soon, the kiss ended.
"There is only one thing that I regret most at this minute in time," he said.
"What's that?" I asked. I looked up to see the older boy smiling down at me.
"Not kissing you sooner," he said, as our lips met again...
