"Sasuke."

"Hn?"

I looked right at my best friend of over four years, worrying my bottom lip between my teeth. We were sitting on the small warf that was near his house, it was nearing the end of summer and we decided to share a soda before school started next week.

"Well, I want to ask you something," I mumbled shyly, scratching the back of my head nervously. "But you can't think I'm crazy for asking, alright?"

Sasuke took a long sip of his drink before giving me an answer. "I don't think that you can get any crazyer than you already are, Naruto."

I ignored the insult and continued "Do you ever feel... Like you're not normal, or not even human?" I asked, staring out at the lake.

"Don't we all?" Sasuke retorted with a sarcastic snort.

"No, not like that, ya Bastard!" I growled. "I mean it, I feel like I'm not human!"

Sasuke didn't look at me as his arm wrapped around my shoulders and brought me closer.

I probably would have hit him if he hadn't replied to me. "You have no idea." he barely whispered.

My only response was to lean into him, providing comfort. "Come on Teme. Let's go back to your place so we can play some Halo." I urged, just wanting us to leave before things got weirder than they already were.

Sasuke nodded, standing up with his arm still coiled around my shoulders protectively.

As we walked on in silence, I found myself enjoying Sasuke's touch more and more, so much that I actually wanted to get closer to him.

"Dobe." I almost jumped fifty feet in the air at his voice.

"Y-Yeah?" I squeaked, trying not to stutter.

"Don't leave me." it was a request, but it was more like a command.

"Wha'?"

"Just don't leave me. Ever." he stopped walking and now had my shoulders in a death grip. His deep, black eyes stared into my dark blue ones. "I need you with me, just please..." his voice and expression was one of desperateness. "Please..."

My facial features turned serious and I grabbed his own shoulders. "Why would I?" I didn't know what ahd come over me until I was hugging him close. "I would never leave my only friend, you're all I have left." I didn't say anymore, just hoping that I got my message across.

Sasuke's pale hands came up to cup my face, I silently congradulated myself on not slapping some sense into him and reminding him that I was straight.

But all that flew out the window when he kissed me.

'Mine' something growled in the back of my head, but I ignored it.

If kissing another guy felt this good, then call me gay.

Months later:

"Sasuke!" I screeched despite being almost out of breath as I ran after my boyfriend of many months. "Sasuke! Come back!"

Sasuke, being the natural athlete that he was, ran as far away from me as he could, trying to lose me in the dense forest.

We had been secretly dating since the day he kissed me last summer, no one but us knew about our relationship status and we planned on keeping it like that for a while. But today, as I went to Sasuke's house to see him, he suddenly ran out like a panicked animal and bolt his ass away from me.

Finally, he stopped at a waterfall the fell over the side of a cliff. He couldn't run away any longer, I pounced on him and forced him into the muddy ground. "Sasuke, stop running and talk to me!"

He tried to push me off of him, tears starting to leak from his closed eyes. "We have nothing to talk about!" he snarled.

"Like hell, we don't" I retorted, leaning closer to him, my lover.

"Why the hell should you care!?" he screamed, actually starting to cry now.

I felt my heart break, my soul, everything. How dare he say that! "Because I love you! Idiot!" I yelled.

Sasuke became unbarably quiet. "No," he whispered, eyes still closed. "You can't!" he yelled back, pushing me up and onto my back where he pinned me down, threatingly.

"Why?" I asked through sobs and tears. I couldn't help myself by thinking that this wasn't Sasuke, that this teen couldn't be Sasuke.

"Why? You wanna know why?" Sasuke yelled in my face and although I could barely see through my tears, I saw Sasuke bring his fist back, ready to strike, and also his eyes, they finally opened, but these eyes couldn't have been Sasuke's, they were black.

These eyes were red and had a lust for blood. "I'm not Human!" Sasuke screeched bloody murder as he moved to punch me.

'FIGHT!'

And then everything faded to black.
