Chapter 1

Returning to break my heart

It had been 3 years since Sasuke had left Konoha. Naruto was starting to forget the good times. His hatred for Sasuke was begging to grow deeper each passing day. It wouldn't be long before Naruto could put an end to his ex-lover, but even though he hated him with everything feeling Naruto had, he still couldn't let go of that small hint of light that still remained inside of his heart telling him that Sasuke was still the love of his life. Naruto wanted to keep it that way. At least for a little bit longer before a verdict was made.

"Naruto we are going to go train do you want to come with us." Sakura almost yelled as she appeared in front of him. Naruto looked over her shoulder and saw Sai with his communication book in his hand reading it careful. He looked up for only a second and smiled at Naruto. It was his gentle warm smile that almost made Naruto happy, but it never reached him. It was too close to Sasuke's smile. Right next to him was Kakashi reading one of his porn manga's not bothering the fact that kiba was right behind him making faces. Ino was admiring herself in a handheld mirror that she carried with her wherever she went. Neji, Gaara, Tenten, lee, Kankuro, Shino and Hinata were waiting in the back not really saying anything much. Shikamaru came up to Naruto and laid a hand on his shoulder.

"C'mon man it's been forever since you trained with anyone but your own shadow clones." He replied calmly.

Naruto just shook his head a bit. He wanted to be alone so he could think. It wasn't very often he was left time to be on his own to just think and not train or have to go on a mission. He wanted to think about Sasuke and him. He wanted some time to wonder where he was or what he was doing, Even though he should have just left him alone. He couldn't keep himself from wondering. He couldn't keep himself from wishing that he would come back home.

"I've got to go and see Lady Tsunade for a mission sorry guy… next time I promise" he told then scratching the back of his neck. Everyone could see that he was lying, but he got extremely angry when someone mentions Sasuke to Naruto. He had already torn down 5 buildings because of it and they didn't need any more buildings wrecked. So when they talked about Sasuke it was behind closed doors, and never ever around Naruto.

Naruto walked off to his quiet place as usual. No one really dared follow him of else questions would be asked and accusation would be made. No one needed that especially from Naruto. They just let him think until he decided he didn't want to be alone anymore. Most of the time he hung out in a tree inside of forest on the outskirts of Konoha, which was really all that they knew of his hiding place.

Naruto walked quietly thinking about Sasuke. He mostly though about the kisses and the soft touches. Naruto couldn't really say they were lovers because all they ever did was kiss, and nothing more. It was okay with Naruto for the most part. Sasuke's kisses were soft but passionate. The kisses would last for what seemed like forever. The tree he was now climbing was the place where they shared their first kiss. It was where everything about Sasuke made sense along with all those feelings Naruto was feeling since they first met. It was their special place.

Naruto knew quite well that he was ordered by pretty much everyone in the village to stop coming here. He was ordered to move out of Sasuke's house and back into his own that he kept just in case. He was ordered to do all of this; he never did any of it. Even though his hate for Sasuke was large, he couldn't let go of that little speck of love left. He couldn't let go of all the memories that they had shared together. It wasn't at all wasn't at all easy for him to let go. Could he even dare to do it? Naruto knew he couldn't and he wouldn't ever if he was forced. That speck that resided in his heart wasn't going to burn out anytime soon.

Naruto looked up into the sky and saw a common figure flying by it was Sakura he was almost sure of it. She landed right next to him on a branch and smiles but was also very concerned for some strange reason.

"Naruto you have to come to the Konoha gates with me at once… it's Sasuke he's come back."

Naruto had no idea what to say he was shocked yet happy at the same. He had to see it for himself. Both Sakura and he took off towards the gates. Naruto expected this to be a joke to get him to come training. They had done something like this before but it ended in the destruction of the only school in Konoha. They would never think about doing it again; would they?

As soon as they got to the gates he saw him. He saw Sasuke right before his eyes. He knew it was no illusion it couldn't be. His skin was the same that gave a light glow when the sun was shining on it. His hair was the same short, midnight blue, raven like hair. It was all the same. He was a bit taller then when they met last time and he towered Naruto. He was almost more muscular, but Naruto didn't care about his features anymore. He was concerned with why he was returned.

He looked at him with distain and disgust. He crossed his arm and looked away. He could sense Sasuke's eyes on him. He could feel the smile appearing on his face. Naruto was neither happy nor sad to see him. He couldn't figure it out. The only feeling he could feel well up inside him was anger. He looked back at Sasuke and got a very angry smirk on his face. He was not going to give into Sasuke this time. He was not going to trust him.

"Are you returning to break my heart again, Sasuke?"
