"Sasuke-kun?"

No response.

"I-I know what your doing, and…..I don't think that you should do it….Don't leave. Please!" She stopped walking from his slow pace.

"Please, don't leave, you can be happy here with me. Sasuke. I…-I love y-you!"
She had tears in her said boy turned around, and spoke with no emotion.

"Sakura, go back home."

"Why do you always have to act like this!?" She took a step turned back around and started to walk again."Don't you care about what Naruto goings to think about this?"
Sasuke stopped dead in his tracks.
"This is my choice Sakura, remember, I am an avenger. This is what my life is lived for. Revenge." He let the word roll off his tongue like poison.

"Bu-but Sasuke-kun, if you stay, you-you can be happy with me, right? I-I can help you with whatever you want with this revenge thing, ju-just don't leave."

He didn't answer.

"I-if you leave…I'll scream!"

Her breathing was heavy and tears were starting to pierce her eyes to. She sprinted towards him and in one quick movement she was stopped.

"Thank you Sakura. But your not the one that I love….there is someone….else." He spoke with more emotion in his voice than he had before.

He had struck her on the back of her neck to knock the said girl could fall to the ground, he swooped her up and set her on a near by bench.
"Sorry…it had to be this way…." He straightened her limp body into a more comfortable position, "but you will fall in love with someone better than me."

'Like I have'

A tear fell down her face and she managed to mumble out "Sa-suke-k-kun."

She knew this would be the last time that she would see him, and she wouldn't know how to tell Naruto. Sasuke turned away and continued to walk the direction that he was originally going.
'Hopefully I will become stronger….no…I will become stronger….and defeat….him…but I must train and stay away from this village….it is true, they drag me down….'
He thought to himself.
'Bye Konoha…bye Naruto, I hope to see you again someday.' This was his last thought before he left the Village hidden in the Leafs.

*~~~ *~~~*~~~*~~~Naruto~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
Sakura was found the next day and was admitted to the Konoha hospital. No one managed to get her to talk. Everyone came to visit her, and Naruto was always the longest to stay.
"S-Sakura-chan, please talk, what's going on?"

Every time this question was asked, all that she would do in reply was let tears fall down her face.
Naruto had known for a long while now that Sasuke was gone, and wasn't planning on coming back. And every time Naruto saw that pained look on Sakura's face, he remembered the night before when he was telling her that Sasuke wasn't going to leave to that bastered Orochimaru. This continued for a couple of days, even when she was home from the everyday, as always, Naruto would visit her, even if she didn't talk at all, he would hold her and tell her that everything was going to be today was didn't hold his usual bright smile, and his eyes lost the baby blue color. He had clearly be thinking this through very sat down right in front of her and stated only one sentence."I will get him back, I swear on it."
They didn't speak and words after that. They didn't need to. For days she thought about that one sentence, never letting herself forget it. But it never seemed to click, to register into her brain. She trusted Naruto with all of her heart, and knew he always followed through with his word. But it didn't seem that he would be able to get Sasuke back.
'But you can Naruto, you can get Sasuke back. I have total faith in you.'
She smiled every time she thought that.

'And I wont stand in the way anymore, I won't let you do all the work, I too, will train and become stronger to help get Sasuke back.'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto was sent on a five man squad. The mission: Get Sasuke back.

Shikamaru, Kiba, Neji, Choji, and Naruto all accomplished their assignments, but with horrible outcomes. Even Lee had come to help out, along with the sand siblings, Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara. And after weeks of waiting for this moment, it was finally here. He found Sasuke.
"Sasuke….."Sasuke turned, show half of the developed cures mark over his body.
"How…h-ow could you do this--to the village, to your friends, to Sakura,--to us. Sakura cares about you and you don't seem to care. Are you just going to throw it all away now?!?!?!?"

Sasuke just smirked on response."Give up Naruto, its hopeless. Trying to stop me will end up as worthless."
Sasuke's smirk was a full blown smile now "you want me to break our 'bond' right here and now?"
It killed him to have to leave and see all of his friends hurt, epically Naruto. And he didn't want to say all these hurtful things.

"….I'll break every bone in your body, in your arms, your legs, where ever it may be, I'll do it, and drag you back to Kohona myself. We all care about you, and *~~you-you just don't care, do you?!?!"
Anger was boiling up inside him, and he need to control himself soon, or he was going to lose it. He didn't want to see Sasuke leave, and he couldn't seem to tell him the reason. He had strong feelings for Sasuke. But never thought it was right because they were both boys.
Sasuke's smirk faded and turned into a small frown.

"Don't you understand, that this is worthless, unless you want me to show how much stronger I am than you."
"Damnit Sasuke! Your treating this like a game. A fucking game! Don't you understand, I want you to come home to where you belong. Kohona. You belong there, not with that freak Orochimaru."Sasuke didn't want to fight either, but none the less, it happened, and the battle began.

~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~

Both were going over the limit of their chakra, and both knew it would end soon. Naruto had taken his fair share of blows, and Sasuke wasn't in any better condition either. Naruto crashed to the ground, the Nine tailed fox's chakra was suppressed.
Sasuke floated over Naruto, just staring at his motionless body.
'Ar-are you alive…?…..'Sasuke fell to his knees and coughed up more blood right next to Naruto's head. His panting and Naruto's shallow breathing was all that could be heard before the rain started to poor.
'Naruto…why…why do….you go so far for me?' Memories flooded his mind.
'You…. always were there for me…always willing to be near me.' Sasuke was just inches away from Naruto's face. 'I-I think I understand now…..I love you Naruto……'

"I love you" Sasuke managed to mummer couldn't believe what he was saying. But he knew it was true. He WAS in love with him and he didn't want to leave the blonde or Kohona for that matter.'

'But I have to leave….I have to kill my brother.' "Naruto….I will come back for you after I complete my goal…..I will come back for you."

He was saying this more for his reference than for Naruto's. Even though Naruto was knocked out at the time, you would have guessed he was just having a bad dream. His face became peaceful after a while and Sasuke stood up, not bothering to pick up his headband that had fallen earlier. His left arm hurt so bad, he had to cradle it for support, and started to walk in the direction that he has, and always will be heading.

"Bye Naruto…I…."

'Love you.'

~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~

Naruto was found by Kakashi, who took him home to the hospital in Kohona Naruto had originally did, Sakura came every day to visit Naruto, and everyday like before, he said the same sentence every visit."
I swear Sakura, I WILL bring him back."And every time he had said that sentence, it brought tears to her eyes. 'Thank you Naruto…..I believe in you. I know you will.'

But after he said it, she just nodded her head. Naruto
and was stuck in the hospital room by himself at night. The moon was shining ever so slightly from his window, bring out the color of his baby blue eyes.
'Sasuke…you…don't understand how much I want you back, I would do anything to hold you, keep you near me at all times.'
He felt the stinging sensation come up to his eyes, but quickly shook it away.

'And that's why I will get you to come back.'

He was out of the hospital the following day. For once in a long while, he wasn't in the mood for ramen. In fact, nothing. He just wanted to go home and be by himself.

----------*----------*----------*----------*----------*----------*----------*----------

Everyone noticed how badly this effected Naruto. Before anyone knew it, the whole village was against the Uchiha, except Sakura, Kakashi and Naruto of course.

----------*----------*----------*----------*----------*----------*----------*----------

When Naruto was home, he laid down in bed and shut the blinds.
"Sasuke...." He wanted, and needed to remember the good things about the Uchiha; his smell, the way he smiled, the way his pale skin shone in the moon remembered how he had his first kiss with him. The taste. It only lasted so long though. He wanted more, as so did the Uchiha. He remembered the time when Sasuke saved Naruto's life from Haku's attack in the Land of the Waves. He was really scared that he had lost his best friend. But the whole time, he never gave up hope that he was going to be okay. He fought back tears.

"I-I want you back Sasuke."He sobbed into his pillow. 'Great Uzumaki, real mature, crying.'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It was late before he noticed, and he continued to think of Sasuke. In the shower, all Naruto could do was keep his mind busy of the Uchiha.

'Sasuke..I want you to kiss me again…I really want you to touch me, to love me……' He imagined Sasuke's face. He always got to sneak peaks when Sasuke was sleeping. He loved it when Sasuke's face shown lightly in the sun. How his complection was so pale, so fragile, so easy to break. Naruto looked down. He was already getting hard just thinking of the Uchiha. He leaned up against the shower tile, and let his hand wander up and down his thigh. He gasped, imagining Sasuke doing this.

"Sas-kay"

He let his other hand wander up to his chest and rubbed one of his lone nipples. The other hand traveled to his hard member and scraped his nails ever so slightly across the sensitive skin. The water was cold, but he didn't seem to care. He wanted to release to Sasuke's name. His hand traveled up and down his dick, getting faster with every stroke. He leaned his head against the shower wall, under his arm. His eyes refused to open, he wanted to believe every bit of this was being done by the Uchiha. Warm tears fell down his cheeks, mixing with cold water. He knew he was close, and he wanted to hear his voice again. He remembered the last time that he heard Sasuke's voice, right before he was knocked out.

'NARUTO!'

Naruto came with a gasp. "Sasuke……"He let the white-milky substance run down most of his stomach. He turned off the water and sat down into the tub. Putting his head in-between his knees, he sighed."Sasuke…I want you to say my name….to tell me that you love me."

He felt selfish for saying it, but he meant it..... bad.

'He is here with me, Faint, but still here.'

I Hope that was okay, right? Tell me what you think please, reviews always brighten my day. There is more to this, but I will post it up later. :)
'Till then. :D
