Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters from the series…poor me :'(
Warning(s); this story probably sucks, first story on fanfiction! Go Me! I don't think this story will go much dirtier then a couple of naughty jokes…but I'll warn you if it does! Pinkie Swear!
A/N; This is just a plot I've been dreaming up for the past while, not exactly sure if I'll even have the patience to follow it through (good comments would help me get it done though )
Summary; A 22 year old Sasuke finally takes the decision to end his damaged life. After a highly risky move by Sakura and Naruto he finds himself breathing once again. Unfortunately his air is now shared by his cute new live-in therapist who yields a new blood-line limit, and a bloody past. Will he find himself needing to fix her before she can fix him?
Sorry if I'm not allowed making up my own characters in stories on this site! Tell me and I'll take it off right away!
Chapter 1
Falling snow.
It was everywhere.
Inescapable.
"Sasuke!" Naruto's familiar voice cried out from somewhere close.
Through the snow and wind it was impossible for Sasuke to tell where Naruto was. Lucky for him, if he couldn't find Naruto, Naruto would never be able to find him…
Him breath came out in short bursts, creating little puffs of white smoke trailing out behind him.
He was panicking and he knew it.
22 and you still can't hold it together…
The snow was crowding him. It was all over him! It was just crystallized water but to his broken mind it was so much more…
Every flake that landed on his beige poncho was more weight he just couldn't take! He hated what he'd become…He hated that he couldn't blame it on Itachi anymore….
"Dammit" he sobbed while trying, with no avail, to remove the snow and poncho violently, bruising the skin underneath indefinitely.
The pressure was just too much for the mind he's destroyed. He'd no longer wanted to kill and be as ruthless as he'd found himself to be in the pass, but knew no other was to survive. He didn't want to be the Sasuke, Naruto thought he 'saved' from Orochimaru, but didn't know how to be the 12 year old Sasuke who was once …happy?
Everything he was, was a lie, lies keep building up, and he could not do that anymore!
Because he wasn't Sasuke anymore…
Naruto's cries were getting softer and softer.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier.
"The snow will conceal the body I leave behind..." he mumbled to himself as he sat at the base of a tree.
With frozen fingers he clumsily drew a kunai.
"The missions done, my apartment is cleared out… there's nothing left for anyone to do, I'll no longer be such a burden…"
As he pressed his back into the wood behind him, faces of others pooled at the back of his mind.
Finally, the kunai was out of his holster and poised at his throat.
"SASUKE!!!"
Naruto burst into the clearing where Sasuke was staring at him like a deer in head lights.
"Dobe."
…He smiled…
"SASUKE!!!"
"Dammit Naruto! HE CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Sakura grabbed him by the lapels of his stupid hokage cape that he never took off. "SO SHUT UP AND HELP ME!"
Sakura's face told him all she was planning…
His tear stained face changed dramatically. In a split second he face went from clearly sad, to defiantly terrified.
"Sakura no!"
"Yes! Now common, Naruto common!" her slender fingers grabbing at his huge hands demanding more then he ever wanted to give.
He pulled away. Not willing to take the chance in losing two friends instead of one.
He backed himself into a far corner of the hospital room staring at the pink haired medic-nin. He started spilling fresh tears.
"Don't think I won't forcefully take it from you…"
"I-it's just a theory Sakura-chan! He did this to himself! He didn't want to be here!"
She effortlessly jumped over the plain hospital bed that the corpse lay in, cleared the room and landed in front of her hokage.
She dislocated his shoulder and then fastened his hand to her back with her jutsu. His skin would look scarred on that hand for a life time, but she didn't care, she knew it was right.
"Well that's too bad for him" only up close did he see the unshed tears pooling under green irises.
He looked at her. She looked at him. She was begging for the old Naruto, the one who'd do this with her in a heartbeat…albeit, the old Naruto wouldn't understand the gravity of the situation…
Understanding, he placed the other hand on her back "You win…"
"This will work." She swallowed hard.
They both shuffled over to a very pale, very still, Uchiha.
