This originally supposed to be a one-shot, but if you want me to continue just say so. You know I'm a crowd pleaser.

SUMMARY- Naruto and Sasuke meet in the forest outside of the village. He's on his way to Konoha's downfall. They talk about everything and some unresolved… things.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto in any way, shape, or form.

A dark figure crept across the forest stealthily. He found a small clearing there, thankful no one had discovered him yet. The man performed a fire release jutsu to make a fire. Soon, he heard a thud and knew who it was by the distinct weight of the person.

"Dobe," the man said in a nonchalant voice.

"S-Sasuke?"

"Who else did you think it was, I see you're still as sharp as ever." Sasuke finally looked at the blonde teen. Their eyes met and Naruto's pupils widened. They stayed like that until the blonde got something off his chest.

"So… are you coming back?" You couldn't mistake the excitement in his voice. Even though he knew he was just getting high hopes, he still had to ask. To see if that one thing he wanted the most was finally granted to him.

The Uchiha chuckled. If he could only tell the blonde how it pained him not to waltz right back into his village and them to be best friends again. But that's not the way it works. He fucked up, badly. And they were thousands of miles past the point of no return.

"I take that as a no. I knew it was too good to be true. Can I ask you something?"

"What is it dobe." His heart started to race. Afraid of what the teen was going to ask.

"You're behind the attack." His heart sunk.

"That wasn't a question." They both sat in silence. Even Naruto wasn't that stupid to know he was the one planning it without directly saying it. Sasuke looked in the fire, wishing he could jump in and crumble into ash. Naruto just stood there rocking back and forth with his feet.

"She still loves you. I just thought I'd let you know." His statement brought Sasuke back to reality. He must have been talking about Sakura. How much he just wanted to strangle her. Like most girls, she didn't pick up on subtle hints.

Trying to break the silence, he spoke once more. "He gave me something, your brother."

"What did he give you?" Sasuke asked curiously, as he stood up.

"Well, he gave me power… He also told me if you became a threat to the village to kill you."

"He said that now did he. I hope he knew you can't." A haughty smirk appeared on his face. He sauntered over to Naruto, "Can you? Would you? I know you can, but you wouldn't. Just like I can't kill you."

"Why? Why are you doing this?"

"To avenge my brother of course. Something you wouldn't understand."

"You killed your brother! Why would you avenge Konoha if you did it? It makes no sense." He was fuming. Had Orochimaru brainwashed him?

"Dobe lets not get into this. I have a question... Are we more than friends?" His voice faltered at the end of the sentence. He just needed to know.

"Yeah I thought we were brothers." Clearly, he didn't understand the question.

"No that's not what I meant," he started to rub his forehead. He just had to tell him. "Did you ever love me, and if you still do, just tell me. I had to ask you, you don't understand how much I just want to… I just…"

"Yes! Why do you think I kept chasing you! Of course I love you, I still do, and I always will no matter how much you reject me or-

"I NEVER REJECTED YOU!" Sasuke was about to cry. His eyes stung and his pulse picked up.

Sasuke leaned into Naruto. Their lips brushed lightly. Warmth numbed the rest of his body. He felt I sharp pain in his stomach. Once Sasuke looked down, he saw he had a kunai stuck in his stomach.

Tears glistened in Naruto's eyes. "I'm sorry." He watched the Uchiha fall to the ground dumbfounded. He thought of his pain, but not in his stomach.

Review and say if you want me to continue.

While writing this I thought of these songs:

Send the pain below

Gives you hell

Can't escape

Yeah it was sad.
