Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse... That's not right. We're telling the wrong story.
That much was obvious stupid...
I am not stupid! Ne, this is our story. My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and this is my... uhh...
Boyfriend, lover, intimate sex partner-
Sasuke! You can't say that!
I think I can, dobe.
OI!! Stop with the name calling, teme!! Anyway, we're here to tell you a story-
About me, of course
Uhn, about Suke-kun. But it's mainly down to ME as he won't do ANYTHING at all... Lazy bastard...
Dobe...
Ahh!! Sasuke, I didn't mean it! I mean you- Nggh... Suke... don't...
Hyuuga was dead first of all. There was no doubt about that. His funeral and everything had happened before they realised and now he was gone. Buried six feet underground. His cold body rotting away in the cold earth. Neji Hyuuga was as dead as a doornail.
Not that he actually knew what exactly it was about a doornail being particularly dead. Perhaps a coffin-nail was the deadest piece that was regarded, and so it was regarded so in the trade. But that really did not matter, so pardon if he says again, that Hyuuga was as dead as a doornail.
The youngest Uchiha knew that he was dead, of course he did. How else could it be otherwise? Hyuuga and Uchiha were partners after all. For how many years, neither of them preferred to remember, but it had been since the Uchiha was a teen, and therefore old enough to gain a job. The Uchiha was his sole executor, his sole administrator, his sole assign, his sole residuary legatee, his sole friend and his sole mourner. Even though the young Uchiha was not as dreadfully cut up and emotionally torn as he should have been by this sad happening, he was an excellent man of business, and his emotionless face and cold eyes were all that were shown during the funeral.
The mentioning of the funeral brings us back to the point on which we started. There is no doubt that Hyuuga Neji was dead. This must be understood before we continue, otherwise nothing can come out of this story that is about to be told. It's completely understandable. If we didn't understand that Trisha Elric was dead before the beginning of Full Metal Alchemist, then there would not be anything remarkably understandable in the story. After all, where would the boys have begun with becoming the great alchemists that they are?
Continuing with our story, the youngest Uchiha, who we shall call Sasuke, never painted out his partners name. There it stood, for months afterwards, right above their warehouse door; Uchiha and Hyuuga. It was as though it was Sasuke's way of mourning, but we shall never particularly know. The firm was known as Uchiha and Hyuuga. Some people called Sasuke, Uchiha, where as other times, some people would refer to him as Hyuuga. It didn;t matter to Sasuke. He answered to both names: it was all the same to him.
Oh! But he was an iron knife which had just left the grind-stone, that Uchiha! A squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, greedy, little sinner. He was hard and sharp, like a knife; secret and self-contained and as solitary as an oyster. The cold within his heart echoed on his face, which left him emotionless and hardy. His heart seemed to be made of rock.
But his bad features only seemed to balance out his looks. Sasuke was a very handsome young man. At the age of 24, Sasuke had shoulder-length hair which he styled to stick up at the back. Black orbs looked out into the world, which were cold, but so beautiful at the same time. Pale, flawless skin gave him an ethereal beauty, which made many women, and some men, chase after the young Uchiha. But he was never interested. He disregarded any suitors or potential love interests with barely a glance.
Sasuke Uchiha was not a warm person. In fact, he had his own type of temperature around him. He made things seem as though they were cold. The heat and cold had no real effect on Sasuke. Sure, it would seem as though it would, but Sasuke merely dressed according to the style of those around him. None of the summer warmth could warm him, none of the winter chill could chill him. No wind that blew bitterly around him, nor the snow that fell, nor the pelting rain bothered the Uchiha.
No one had ever stopped Sasuke on the street to say, with happy faces, "Dearest Uchiha-san, how are you? When will you come and visit next?" No beggars asked him for anything, no children laughed around him, no man or woman pursued him without it ending in tears or a broken heart.
But why would the youngest Uchiha care? Why would Sasuke, the cold, heartless person he was be concerned about what people thought? It was the kind of thing that he liked. To edge his way along the crowded paths of life, warding away all human sympathy, keeping his distance. Being emotionally attached was madness to him.
Kyuubi: You're really going to let the idiot and his lover there take over this story?
Fyawkes: Don't be so mean, Kyuu-kyuu. It's their turn to do something. After all, have I written a Naruto story before? Nope!! And so I am considering to do one now :P
Kyuubi: Oh, don't tell me... You're going to get them to review if they like it or not, right? You realise that's the suckers way of doing things?
Fyawkes: *Eyes begin filling with tears* Why are you always so MEAN Kyuubi-No-Yoko?!
Kyuubi: *Blanches* Don't cry woman. Tears aren't fit for you...
Fyawkes: *Turns and runs away* Leooooo!!!!!
Kyuubi: Awww.... Chikuso... Anyway, review and whatever. Say if you like it. I have a ningen to catch before I'm placed back into that disgusting form they call 'cute.'
*Note to readers: There is something wrong with this story. But I have no clue what it is... Really... It could be with one of the characters, or perhaps it's Sasuke's description. I cannot remember for the life of me. Arrgh!! So annoying!! Has this ever happened to you before? You remember something is really wrong, and once you get to the page, you cannot remember what was wrong at all... ¬¬ Not funny at all... Anyway, please read and review. This story is in a kind of co-write, so you will have to wait a minimum of a day for the next installment. Don't worry, it'll all be done by New Years Day. Well, at least I HOPE it will... Readers of Baby Mine will know exactly what I'm on about me and my updating processes, but this is kind of a spontaneous thing. And if I don't finish this, my friend has several embarassing images they will put up on Facebook... My urgency is really that much more... Anyway, Read and Review. Cookies and presents to all!!! Don't blame me if you get a lump of coal in your stocking!! xP Fyawkes*
