Yay! I finally was able to take time in my busy scheduale to finish this up! So this is chapter one! Enjoy!
After hours of searching, Kakashi was the one to find the suffering boy. "Well, well, well, I thought you would be somewhere like this, Sasuke."
The boy, Sasuke, glared up at the older man that stood before him with vicious intent. He really did not want to be found, at least not yet. He was not ready to face his team, not yet, "Go away Kakashi," he growled, fighting the urge to kick the man off the branch.
Kakashi squatted down in front of him so they were almost at the same level, "Let me help you Sasuke, if not me then the Hokage at least. Running is not the way to deal with this." Sasuke just sighed angrily, looking towards the waterfall where he could see his teammates searching for him.
They were all worried about him, maybe if he did talk to the Hokage then they would stop worrying so much. It was worth a try.
"Fine," he said, not bothering to hide his annoyance, "I'll go talk to Tsunade-Sama, but don't tell Sakura or Naruto." After saying his name Sasuke finds his thoughts zooming back to the blond haired idiot. Even though they were best friends Sasuke was unable to let Naruto know his darkest secret. He would never admit it to anyone, but he was scared of how the other boy would react if he told him. Sasuke trusted Naruto with many facts and Naruto was always there for him, willing to listen or come over to fill the lonely silence of his empty estate. Sasuke would never admit it, but Naruto was really important to him in ways that, as long as he had his way, the dobe would never know.
After a few moments of silence the two jumped down from the tree. Kakashi radioed the other two that he had found Sasuke and that they would meet them at the village gate. He could tell that Sasuke was not ready to face his teammates just yet, so they set off for the village in silence, neither one bothering to speak. The entire walk back to the village went like this.

"Well this is an interesting situation that seems to have arised," Tsunade sat behind her desk, looking over at the dark haired boy who looked like he was about to tear out his hair, cry, and go on a killing spree all at the same time. The scariest part was he might actually do it, "Have you talked to anyone else about this? Kakashi? Naruto?"
His head snapped up immediately, "I can't tell Naruto!" he slumped back in his chair a bit, letting his voice calm down before continuing, "I haven't told Kakashi everything, but he knows most of it. Tsunade-Sama you have to help me, I don't know what to do."
Tsunade thought for awhile looking out the window, "You should tell Naruto, " Sasuke growled in protest but she ignored him, "He is your best friend Sasuke and this involves him too you can't hide it from him forever."
"I know."
