This is Destiny
Prologue : Summer Night events

"Hey, bastard Sasuke."

A blonde haired boy sat at the side of the river, sitting side by side with a black haired Sharingan user.

"What's up, dobe?"

It was at night, and the moon had risen gracefully in the sky.

The two boys were taking off their sandals and had already put their legs into the cold river water. Fireflies were flying past them, making some tiny yellow dots here and there in the bright summer night.

"Go ahead and ask. It's not like I'm going to eat you or something." The dark eyed boy was starting to get confused by his team mate's act.

Naruto sighed; he was torn on whether to ask this question or not. Finally he decided that he needed to know what the Great-Uchiha-Sasuke's answer would be.

"If you…" He paused as though he was hesitant to continue. "…find out that one of your close friends is a demon, what will you do?"

This was not a question Sasuke expected from Naruto. Why in the earth did someone ask such a question anyway? It's not like he had a demon for a friend.

"What are you asking this for?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow, not bothering to hide his curiosity.

"Well, nothing. I just want to know your answer. That's all," the blonde answered back sheepishly.

Sasuke didn't comment. He merely shrugged and thought about the answer. Naruto apparently was not fond of waiting and he expressing that freely.

"Well? What do you think?" the blonde asked with intense curiosity.

At last Sasuke turned his gazed and faced his blonde team mate.

"I wouldn't give a shit of what he really is. As long as he didn't turn out to be a life threatened creature, I'll do just as what I always do to him, I think."

"And if he became one of those creatures, would you call him your friend once he gets back to his normal self?"

"What's wrong with you, Dobe? You hardly think anything through this far before." Sasuke showed his confusion when Naruto one again asked him an unexpected question.

"No, nothing is wrong with me, asshole. Just answer my question, okay?"

Sasuke nodded nonchalantly and tried to think about the question.

"Well?"

"Well, I think I would call him my friend again. What would you do if you have one?" he asked. They both thought it was a little too late and they both stood up, wearing their sandals again.

"No, that wouldn't happen to me, if you know why." The blonde ninja smiled in a mysterious way.

"Oh, so confident are you not?" Sasuke smirked in the way he always did.

Naruto held his smiled a little longer and then started to speak again.

"One more question: if he didn't return to his human side, would you kill him?"

From the beginning, that was the very important question he needed to know: what would Sasuke do? If Sasuke didn't know what to do, he already had formed a plan. If Sasuke didn't know what to do, he would simply tell him what to do.

Again, Sasuke was startled with the question. Did Naruto eat something unusual on his way here? He would certainly do that, knowing the dobe he was.

"So, Sasuke?"

"Uh, I don't know yet," he said uncertainly.

Naruto just let a smile grace his feature.

"Contrary to what most people believe, you are actually one warm hearted person, Sasuke," he said sincerely.

Sasuke blushed slightly at the comment, and he thanked the dark night so that no one saw his reddening cheeks.

"Wh-why are you saying that, Naruto?"

Naruto just smiled softly, and then his faced showed some hint of sadness. Well covered, but Sasuke could see it anyway.

"I'm telling the truth you know. And if you don't know what to do, I'll tell you what to do."

Naruto leaned his body closer to Sasuke. The dark haired boy could feel the warm breath Naruto produced, not to mention his body heat. The thought of Naruto made him blush like mad.

"Oi… oi, dobe. What are you doing?"

"If one of your friends is a demon, and he is apparently transforming into one with no way back to his human side…" Naruto whispered this softly in Sasuke's ear.

Sasuke was startled from his thoughts for a moment; just enough to hear what Naruto said, and realized that he hadn't finished his sentence.

"…Than you must kill him on the first sight, without hesitation." Naruto finished his sentence and smiled at Sasuke as he pulled away.

"Ja, Sasuke-kun. Good night then. Thanks for the evening. I will have a great time," he said before running away at a slow pace, leaving Sasuke to watch his retreating back.
