Summary: Sasuke kills Naruto, the fight lasted a long time but in the end Naruto had died, now Sasuke feels something he never thought possible…Regret. But did he really kill him?
Regret
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke breathed in quickly as he spotted a blonde haired ninja on the other side of the large river. Those deep blue eyes held no emotion after all it's been years sense they last saw each other. Naruto had on ANBU cloths his mask was on the side on his head and he stared at Sasuke without flinching.
Sasuke clenched his fists he knew this day would come one day, and here it was he was to kill Naruto, right here and now and he was ready. Adrenaline pulsed through him as it felt like excitement would show on his normally expressionless face. Naruto jumped in the air without a word, Sasuke did the same.
Their fight was like a dance, each move was mirrored by the other perfectly, and each bead of sweat was quickly wiped away before the dance started again. Each hit at each others' fists caused them to spring back and land gracefully on the other side of the river again. Once Sasuke finally got a real hit in Naruto had sprung back clutching his stomach painfully yet he recovered quickly. Around his eyes were red marks covering his eyes, the sages mark. Sasuke wondered how long Naruto was training for but was quickly pushed back into reality as another punch was thrown.
Caught off guard Sasuke was quickly hit and was slammed into the rocks surrounding the area where they battled, Sasuke grunted but quickly wiped away the blood that flowed from his mouth. Naruto looked over at a large bolder and quickly appeared close by. With ease the blonde ANBU picked it up and threw it at Sasuke, who in turn, used chidori to destroy the rock, but somehow Naruto appeared before him in a blink on an eye a punch hit his face and Sasuke went off in another direction following Naruto but Sasuke was ready.
Sasuke quickly grabbed onto Naruto and turned around and slammed Naruto into the ground, a large bang was heard as Naruto hit the ground. Sasuke expertly moved his body to stop himself from losing balance. There was silence, then as the blonde lifted himself back up his eyes held anger and determination. Sasuke was shocked at this but smirked,
'This should get interesting.' Sasuke thought
Naruto gathered chakra in his hand, the strange thing was he didn't use a clone or his other hand, he was stronger. Sasuke smirked and jumped up and used chidori, irony came flooding back to him as they were both jumping over the river, and their silent movements were drowned out by thunder and a flash of lightning strikes down mercilessly on the water below them. Everything was dark except the chakra of both the rasengan and chidori not to mention the flashing of thunder.
Suddenly Sasuke had the strangest feeling that Naruto had made it so to get it, made it so to take the blow, in the dark he swore he saw the rasengan move an inch away from where it was supposed to hit. Panic swelled up in Sasuke's mind, he didn't know why he just wanted to stop.
A blow, a large explosion engulfed them, Sasuke heard and felt flesh being torn apart inside and out, blood covered his hand, also his shirt and everything around him. As the explosion ended all that was heard was the falling of a waterfall. Sasuke felt weight on his still lifted hand, as smoke cleared he saw something that horrified him completely.
Naruto, half lifeless, hanging limply on his arm, Sasuke quickly retracted his arm and felt blood run down his arm as he held his arm for dear life. Eyes widened, still not a word said, Naruto fell to the ground with a soft thump and Sasuke quickly stared at Naruto. Naruto coughed out blood, why wasn't he changing into Kyuubi? Why wasn't he saving himself?! These thoughts haunted Sasuke.
Sasuke grabbed Naruto's arms and quickly shook them, "Naruto?!" He said gently, he felt emotions swell up inside him, swallowing him whole and it hurt. Oh God it hurt so badly. "Please Naruto don't die," Why was he acting like this? The adrenaline has long sense passed, dark clouds still hung around them, rain fell hiding Sasuke's tears.
"S-Sasuke," coughed Naruto weakly, Sasuke's eyes snapped open "I just couldn't bare to fight you again, I'm sorry." Sasuke shook his head, "Dobe y-y-you're supposed to become h-hokage right? Then why do this?" Sasuke asked he was shaking, not with the cold, but with fear for this blonde. The blonde only stared at him for a second, "Because I knew I wouldn't win anyway, I will never win against you Sasuke you are inferior to me." He said gently before going limp.
Sasuke held Naruto's body in his arms, his shoulders shook with silent sobs as he cried for the boy he so dearly wanted to break off the bond, yet he cried for someone he knew he lost. And what's even worse is that it was his entire fault. He wanted to kill Naruto from the beginning yet right when he did it, he felt something he wasn't used to. Regret, horrible stomach clawing regret, yet he knew in some way he deserved this pain. Sasuke gently laid the body down, still crying silently, pain still clawing at him like the worst wound he's ever had. He left, just left the body of his once beloved comrade, his once worst enemy, he just left his everything.
As the rain cleared he looked down at the large arena where he and Naruto had fought. And he remembered so clearly where he was, he looked down at the place where their first battle has taken place. It really was the Valley of the End, because everything ended here, first friendship, then the bond, now a life. Everything ended here somehow, nothing stayed the same after you've been here, and Sasuke sighed sadly. A single tear slid down his perfectly framed face. As he shifted his position and never wanted to look back yet at the same time wanted to never look away.
With a look around again he ran, ran far away. He wanted to get away; he didn't want to feel this way anymore. God is cruel to him; good must hate him completely to make him feel like this. What was Naruto to him anyway? Was he just a friend or was it more than that? Was it a brotherly bond? It confused him so much, he then realized this, he loved, yet hated Naruto, he was annoyed yet amused by everything he does. He never really thought about what the blonde dobe meant to him, yet now that he was gone he realized how big a part Naruto played in his life, there or not he was never far from Sasuke's mind.
Sasuke sighed again he felt a stabbing pain for leaving the body of the now dead blonde, who Sasuke had just figured out something that was very important to him. And now it felt even worst the regret started to build up.
'God you must hate me!' Thought the desperate Uchiha as he continued to run, trying to run away from the pain, yet the farther he went the worse it became.
