Hey! I'm really excited for this story. I am literally BEGGING you to review and tell me what you think. I do not own Naruto or Bleach.
Note: this story is centered around Sasuke. Sasuke spends a lot of time thinking about Naruto, but Naruto will only appear in this chapter and flashbacks (maybe later but it's too hard to explain it now)
Naruto and Sasuke were confused. Very confused, really like one second they are fighting to the death and the next they are just standing there, looking confused. The first thing is that Sasuke was confused first, he realized as soon as he came up from the water that Naruto wasn't even looking at him anymore, Naruto was looking at, him. Okay so there are two Sasukes. Then, there were two Narutos as well. The Naruto and Sasuke that were looking at their duplicates had a plate on their chests that connected to chain. Which brings me back to them being very confused.
"Ano, what happened, Sasuke?" Naruto asked, hoping Sasuke would answer. He looked down at himself and realized that not only were there two of him, but he was all healed while the other him laying on the ground was so injured that he could be, dead.
"Are we dead Sasuke? Sasuke answer me teme!" But he didn't realize that Sasuke was in pain until he turned to punch him for ignoring him.
Sasuke had doubled over in pain and he was clutching at his neck. Right above the cursed seal. Naruto watched as a white mist rose from his body, separating from him. As soon as it separated completely, it started to take form. Its body hardened into what looked like Sasuke when he released the seal, except it had a white bone mask over its face. Naruto waited for the thing to attack them, but it never did. It simply ran off into the forest.
Naruto quickly went over to where Sasuke was after he had collapsed. Sasuke was crying. "I'm so sorry Naruto, I'm so sorry. I couldn't stop. It was the seal, Naruto. It messed with my head. It made me think things that weren't real. You're the best friend that I've had since Itachi ruined my life, maybe even before that. I'm so sorry, Naruto. Can you forgive me?" He looked so weak.
"Of course I forgive you, Sasuke. I knew it wasn't really you. I knew that you wouldn't really do that to me. I'm just kinda pissed that we had to die first. Hehe"
"Stupid dobe, what was I supposed to do?"
"I don't know. Maybe listened to me and admit that I'm right?"
"In your dreams, dobe."
Naruto gave a large grin, while Sasuke gave a small smile of his own. This was familiar to both of them. Until, Naruto clutched at his stomach in agony.
"Damn, teme this does hurt. But in the end I'll be okay, right, just like you. The monster will be gone." Naruto could barely speak through the pain, but that could be due to the fact that his seal was in his stomach, while Sasuke's was just on his neck.
"Of course, dobe, as soon as the pain is gone we won't have to worry about Kyuubi any longer." Naruto had collapsed to the ground and curled into a ball. Sasuke reached down to him, trying to help his friend. "It's okay, Naruto, you've been through more than this, you can do it." His words of encouragement did little as Naruto started to scream, an inhuman howl. Instead of Sasuke's white mist, a red mist rose from Naruto's body. Naruto himself was clinging to Sasuke just as sasuke had done when apologizing. A whirlwind picked up around them and tried to take Naruto out of Sauke's arms but he held on tight.
"Sasuke! Don't let go. Don't you dare let me go, Sasuke!"
"I won't Naruto. I won't let you go and that is a promise. It'll be over soon Naruto. Then we can go back to Konoha."
"Really, Sasuke?"
"Yeah, I'll go back and never leave again. I'll never leave you again Naruto. We're friends 'till the end"
"Friends 'till the end. I like that."
He looked up for no more than a second, but it was enough, for there in the sky was a set of open doors. They were red and black and had depictions of skeletons of them. The whirlwind was coming from them. Sasuke's jaw slacked at the sight, but unfortunately his grip did too. Naruto's still shaking body, now almost covered in red mist, was wrenched from his arms.
"No! Naruto!"
"Sasuke!" Naruto reached for Sasuke's hand, but they were too far away. Sasuke reached for Naruto, and in a burst of speed grabbed onto his arms, not even registering that they were floating in midair.
"Sasuke, I hate to admit this but I'm scared."
"It's okay Naruto I'm scared too."
"You promised me that you wouldn't let go, Sasuke."
"No, Naruto I won't. I won't let this take you away from me, so soon after you've forgiven me."
"Sasuke, they're doors. They are not going to give up. Something is going to go through before they are going to close."
"No, Naruto. Don't even think about it."
"I already did Sasuke. You deserve your second chance"
"No, you deserve a second chance much more than I do, Naruto. Don't do this" Sasuke's grip was slipping.
"Remember Sasuke, it's not your fault. I forgive you. Now let go"
"I promised I wouldn't let go and I will keep that promise, no matter what you say" they both new he was lying. They could both feel his grip slipping.
"Goodbye, Sasuke-teme" Naruto tugged his arms back, breaking Sasuke's hold on him.
Sasuke fell out of the air with a thud, and looked up to see Naruto's final grin as he was sucked through the Gates of Hell.
