Oh kay, so here is something a little bitter sweet, I'm not sure how far I'm going to take the story but I will definitely keep writing it if I get lots of reviews asking for it.
I do not own Naruto.
This is yaoi, meaning guy on guy action, don't like don't read. Also beware of spoilers.
This little story takes place before the meeting of the 5 kage's if you've read that far. Naruto has defeated pain and is going to beg that Killerbee's brother not execute Sauske.
Sauske sends his team ahead of him and takes a detour, one night, one moment, just one, not forgiveness or acceptance. Just one night with the man he loves, before he cuts off his heart forever.
This wasn't fair, I shouldn't have done this, I don't want to leave, I want to stay like this, stay with him…
***Hours Earlier***
"Karin, lead them to the border, I'll catch up tomorrow morning."
"What? Sauske where are you going?" Karin looked pleadingly at me, the others had all turned around to see what I was up too.
"I have something to take care." was my stoic reply as I took off back the way I came without a backwards glance.
I replayed Zetsu's words, Naruto was on his way to intercept the Killerbee's brother, one of the 5 Kage's to attend the meeting.
I wasn't sure why, I was running towards my estimate of where I would find Naruto, I'd spent the night staring at a map, He was just so close, only a few meager miles away.
When I got up this morning, All I could think about was how much further away from him I was getting.
The closer I got to avenging my clan, the farther I got from my happiness.
Most people would choose their heart, but Danzo needs to be killed, He murdered hundreds, betrayed thousands, and he was going to pay.
I just couldn't keep going towards revenge, I just want to see him, that's all I'm doing, the dobe won't even know I'm there. I'll watch him for a couple of minuets and then I'll truly let go of any connection I have with him, I'll cut my heart out, It will be like my heart never existed. I just need one last look, one last smile, one last view of those determined blue eyes.
The increase in my heart beat had nothing to do with running flat out for the past 10 miles.
I was getting close I'd be there soon, I'd be able to see his face, Stupid goofy grin, ridiculous whisker marked checks, vibrant blue eyes.
As always Naruto's chakra was a glaring beacon of his location. I masked mine till it was nonexistent, a skill I had profected.
I could not believe what I was seeing, Naruto on his knees, begging for my life. I knew the dobe was noble but I had no idea that he cared so much.
I feel, what do I feel? He's crying? The dobe doesn't cry, he smiles, laughs, pouts, never cries.
I followed Naruto, kakashi, and another shinobi that I didn't recognize to a small cabin. Naruto went in, and the other two stayed outside to guard.
I had to talk to him, I might not let him know its me but I at least have to talk to him
I summoned the smallest snake I could, a mere 5 inch long snake that held no venom.
I wrote the only thing I could think of on a small role of parchment and watched the snake slither away with the note clamped in his mouth.
The parchment read:
Naruto
Meet me in the woods, 3 miles
West of your location there's a
Waterfall. Be there at 11:00
At night if you want to
Find out about Sauske Uchiha.
Send a reply with the snake
come alone and do not be followed
The Raven
I waited nearly a half hour until the little black garden snake slithered back with a worn piece of parchment in his mouth. I took the parchment from him and gave him what was left of my lunch before dispelling him. The parchment read:
Raven
I don't know who you are but
What ever information you have on Sasuke
Had better be worth it, and if you try
Anything funny your dead. Believe it!
Naruto Uzamaki
I couldn't believe that He was actually coming, not the smartest move, but I was glad he was still such a dobe. Now all I have to do is wait at the waterfall.
***four hours later***
"Raven! Oi you here?"
I watched the blonde call out, he looked decidedly angry. I pulled my hood over my face and lept down from the tree I was hiding in. He pulled his Kunai and stood ready to attack, I just couldn't believe he was actually here, in front of me, not 20 feet away.
