This is just a short little thing that I wrote. I might add on to it and turn it into one of those cliche timetravel things were Naruto gets a second chance at Sasuke's love. But that'll probably be posted as a completely different story since I like this just the way it is at the moment.
Anyway, enjoy!
So this is it...
I can feel the life steadily seeping from my body with the blood that oozes from the wound in my stomach.
He finally killed me. Here, in the Valley of the End. Where it all started.
My body aches. Everywhere. Except for my fingers and toes. I can't even feel those. I try to force my eyes open to look at my murderer. To look at the first person I could truly call a friend. To look at the only person I ever really loved. Sasuke's face looks shocked. But that's odd. Isn't that what he wanted? Didn't he want this power? He looks at his katana in complete disgust and throws it off to the side before falling to his knees beside me. Now is when I see the tears. They're mixing with the blood from the forming Mangekyo
"Naruto..." He says brokenly. It's weird. Seeing him showing such an emotion as sadness. Or maybe he's angry. This was all an accident, after all. He never meant to kill me with that sword. He made it clear when we started off the battle using only ninjutsu. it was when I surprised him from behind that he pulled out the katana. He thought I was a shadow clone and stabbed me. But it's too late to take anything back now.
He gently places his forehead on mine and I smile. I wish we could have had this before. I have loved Sasuke for as long as I can remember. At first I just thought it was a simple crush that would go away with time. Then I realized how great of a ninja he was and I admired him greatly for that, making my crush on him grow further. When I found out that I would be on a team with him, I pretended to hate him so my true feelings wouldn't show. By then I knew for sure that It wasn't just something that would go away. I decide now that maybe it wouldn't be so bad if I let him know, now.
"S... S'uke" It hurts just to whisper that one simple name, but luckily I don't have to repeat myself. His head snaps up and he looks at me in disbelief. "I l-love yo...u" I start coughing violently and I feel a mixture of blood an saliva drip from the side of my mouth. He gasps and brushes hair from my face gently, a small smile on his face.
"I love you too, dobe." It's hardly a whisper but I can hear it loud and clear in the silence of the Valley. It puts a grin on my face. To know that my feelings weren't one-sided.
"Good... bye..." I've used the last of my energy. I feel so cold. The numbness in my fingers and toes has spread throughout my entire body and the ache has turned into a dull throb. I close my eyes, not wanting to see Sasuke's face the moment before I go. Seconds pass, and I'm thrown into a dark abyss.
Man, I've been really angsty lately...
R&R PLZ!
