Disclamer: I don't own any of the Naruto characters...just the idea...
..::Chapter One::..
He pounded the tree with all his might, unaware of the tears flowing down his cheeks, mixing with the cold rain—rain as cold as his heart. Not once did he feel pain as his knuckles collided with the hard bark, ripping his skin, tearing open wounds that hadn't quite healed from their beating the day before. He gritted his teeth and muttered, "Bastard, bastard, bastard! I…could…kill…you!" He growled and threw the rest of his strength into that last punch. Trembling, he fell to his knees, staring at his bloody hands.
"Why…?" he whispered, looking up at the gray sky. "You told me you…loved me." He growled and shouted, "You lied, you bastard! If you had loved me you would've stayed with me!" Sobbing now, he clutched his chest where his heart was, feeling as though someone—possibly even his lover—was ripping it apart, slowly, piece by piece. He gripped his shirt tightly, and tried desperately to suppress his racking sobs.
Clenching his teeth until his jaw ached, he tried to block out his memories, with no avail.
"Hey dobe." The black-haired boy smirked and bent down to kiss his lover.
"Hey teme." The blonde smirked, returning it.
"You know what today is, right?" the other asked, breaking off, onyx eyes shinning.
"Our anniversary of course. We've been going out for a year." Blue met black, sparkling happily.
"Very good. Now close your eyes." The blonde tilted his head but did as instructed. The other placed a necklace of silver with a 'S' charm on it around his lover's neck. The 'S' had a ruby and sapphire stone, one at each end of the 'S'. Clasping the end of the necklace, the black-haired placed a soft kiss on his lover's lips and pulled back, letting him go. The blonde opened his eyes and looked down, softly touching the gift.
"Oh…Sasuke…thanks." He whispered, smiling softly. Sasuke smirked and pulled out his own necklace, the same except for a 'N' charm.
"Returning the favor. Funny how we both made almost the same idea for a gift." His blonde lover grinned and said, "So sue me, I got the casher to tell. I still love it though." "As do I." Sasuke smiled and kissed his lover again.
"I love you Naruto." "I love you too Sasuke."
"No…no, no, no! You never did!" he yelled, half in rage, half in sorrow. Dropping his head, sobbing uncontrollably, he hugged himself and shivered. "Why did you do this to me Sasuke? Why?" he murmured sadly, the salty taste of bitter tears in his mouth.
His pale hand gripped the necklace he'd been given, tracing the 'S' charm gently. "You never loved me." He whispered, yanking the silver chain off and throwing it to the ground. Staring at it, he sighed and went to pick it up.
"Naruto."
Blue eye's widened at the familiar voice. He turned slowly and looked over his shoulder. Yes, it was him. But why? Was it for the Kyuubi?
"Itachi…Uchiha." He murmured softly, staring at the man. Itachi raised a brow and offered a hand. Naruto glared at it and stood on his own, clenching his torn fists tightly by his sides.
"State your business here." Naruto growled through clenched teeth, stepping away from the older Uchiha. Itachi let a ghost of a smile trace his lips before it was gone. "You are my business." "Are you after the Kyuubi again?" "No." "Then?" "Just you."
Naruto snarled at him and fingered his weapon pouch. "I have no business with you." Itachi smiled and shook his head, dropping his hand to his side. "Don't make this any harder than it should be, Naruto." "It won't be, because nothing will be happening after you leave here. Now." The blonde snapped, hand on a kunai handle. Itachi smirked at him and murmured, "Mangekyo Sharingan."
Naruto's blue eyes widened…and he saw nothing more.
So how is it so far? What happened to Naruto? What's Itachi really want? And what of Sasuke? You'll have to read the next chapter to find out!
