"Sasuke….. Sasuke!" Itachi yelled as Sasuke went limp in his arms. Itachi saw his mothers car and got in holding Sasuke close, frowning his own tears falling. Itachi told his mother to wait to pick them up, he didn't know that Sasuke would be able to run all this way. He didn't even think about the cold as he was running to catch up to Sasuke. Sasuke had a 6 minute start. Itachi was arguing with his mother, he needed to be the one to reach Sasuke first. He knew it was stupid to run the whole way there but he knew Sasuke wouldn't get into the car unless he passed out. Itachi knew Sasuke almost as good as Naruto. His parents didn't even know what Sasuke's favorite food was or anything about him. Silent sobs filled the car as Itachi clutched his brother holding him tightly to him. He had lost one brother today. He could not, and would not lose the other. He would protect Sasuke. He would protect him until his dying day. Whether Sasuke wanted it or not.
"Sasuke. Time to get up." Itachi said knocking on Sasukes door. He heard a groan so he went away. Itachi didn't get much sleep last night and neither did Sasuke. It was their brothers death day. Neither one of them comforted the other. Itachi wanted to go and talk to Sasuke, but he knew that Sasuke would force him out of his room and go further into his shell of depression. he was never the same since his angels death. To everyone else but him they were brothers, but Sasuke knew that it was much more then that. They had loved each other.
Sasuke got up off his bed and walked over to his closet. Not much had changed in the room. He now had a black bed spread and pillow on his king size bed, his walls were still the deep blue. He got out his black tight fitting Tee with fishnet for the sleeves, his black baggy pants with all the chains on it, his black combat boots and headed for the bathroom. Sasuke sighed and sniffed the air.
Still smells like Ocean. Good. Sasuke thought to himself as he got undressed and started his shower. The blond boyfriend /brother that had died so many years ago had smelled like Ocean. Sasuke knew it was bad to dwell on the past, but he could never forget his blond angel sent down from heaven just for him, like everyone wanted him to. He didn't want to forget him. Naruto was the only thing that is keeping him sane right now. Without Naruto, Sasuke would have been drinking non stop or smoking. But he knew Naruto wouldn't approve. Naruto wouldn't approve of Sasuke going emo either, but Sasuke didn't care about that. Naruto wasn't really here to stop him. Naruto would understand that he needed to have the pain, sorrow, loss and everything that he was feeling away right? He could do whatever he wanted. Right? Right. His parents didn't care what he did and Itachi couldn't boss him around anymore. As far as he was concerned Itachi could go to hell.
Naruto groaned as he hit the alarm button. He had to wake up at 5 to cook breakfast for his guardian. Naruto got up and went into the kitchen and made breakfast. It was the same every morning. Wake up, make a wonderful breakfast that he wasn't allowed to eat, hopefully not get beaten before his shower, hoping against hope that he wouldn't raped him, then beat him, get out and get dressed painfully, avoid him, get punched in the stomach and pushed out the door. When he was done he whispered under his breath I hope you choke and die. Before he went upstairs to take his shower, using his favorite shampoo and body wash that smelled like Ocean. Naruto sighed heavily as the warm- yes warm, almost freezing water went over him- He never let Naruto take the hot water, unless he was in the shower with him. He wanted it all for himself. When Naruto was done he got out of the shower, praying to a god that he didn't believe in, thanking him that He didn't come in, and got dressed in his Orange Tee and blue jeans. He then got on his black and orange shoes that he loved.
Naruto walked downstairs and gasped in pain as he was shoved into the wall, pinned there. So much for a good day. He was doing so good. He hadn't seen or heard from him all morning.
"My My Naruto. How are we this morning? Sorry I couldn't join you in the shower." The red headed figure asked Naruto tightening his grip on Narutos shoulders licking Naruto's scared cheeks. He gasped in pain and shivered at the though of getting raped again and for being licked by his suppose guardian. He had never been nice to Naruto, but he was the only living relative that he had. After the crash, he couldn't remember anything about his life. He said that there was no one else. Naruto had no choice but to believe him.
"Fi-Fine. Yo-Your bre-breakfast i-is re-ready Si-Sir." Naruto stammered out and yelped in pain as he was thrown into the other side of the hall. He slid down the wall gasping for breath holding his side. He had broken his rib a few mouths ago. They don't heal fast, even with Narutos fast healing rate. Bones don't usually heal as fast. If he hits him and brakes a bone they heal slower then if he were slammed into the ground and got beaten.
"Get up! You have to go to school." He shouted at Naruto and pulled his hair until he was standing.
"Y-Yes si-sir." Naruto said in pain running out the door, tears of pain running down his face. He wasn't allowed to cry in front of Him. He would just get a harsher beating. When he calmed down and the ache in his side was more tolerable he stopped and looked around not realizing where he was. He saw someone with blond pigtails and ran up to them.
"Hey Baa-chan. Do you know where the High School is?" The lady turned her eyes wide, but she quickly recovered. She couldn't believe her eyes. She must be more drunker then she thought. First day of the new school year and she was already drunk beyond city limits.
"Down the road brat, to the left down main street and there you are. Now get out of my site Gaki." She said. Naruto ran off with a big grin. He didn't notice that the Blond haired women was looking after him.
"Thanks Baa-chan!" Naruto yelled after he realized he didn't say thank you to the nice lady. Even though she was drunk she didn't look like it. She didn't even slur her words like most people do.
"Naruto….. could it really be you?" She whispered letting the slight breeze wash away the sorrow she felt. She would just have to make sure when she got to school. She started walking again with a small smile. Even if it wasn't him, and she was just to drunk to know what she was doing, he had brightened her day and possibly for the next few years.
Sasuke ditched that day of school. He went to the Cemetery and talked to the Namikaze family until it got dark. Itachi came after work, Kiba, Shika, and all of Naruto's other friends came after school and stayed for as long as they could. He placed a single fire lily that he had been holding and twirling slightly in his hand all day, on each grave.
"I miss you so much Naru-chan. I hope you can forgive me for everything that I have done since the last time I was here. Mom and Dad miss you to. They called me last night, they said to tell you and Mina-Tou and K-Kaa that they were sorry they couldn't visit today. They promised to visit you when they come back though…... if they have time you know. They are always busy with something. Naru-Chan. You know how we would always play hide n seek in my back yard and each time you would get scared? I would always hold you and tell you that everything is ok? I- " Sasuke stopped talking when he heard a tree branch snap in the woods behind him. " Whos there? Come out!" Sasuke glared and went into the trees seeing a orange blur go past him.
Naruto. Sasuke said running after him. " Naruto! Come back!" Sasuke yelled and ran faster. Don't run Naruto. Onegai come back…. Sasuke ran harder and stopped the blond and Orange blur hugging him to him. " Naruto…. Your cold." Sasuke frowned hugging him tighter.
Naruto Stiffened in Sasukes hold and got out of his grasp. " Stay away from me! L-Let me go!" Naruto yelled frightened, stiffening in Sasuke hold. Here was a random stranger hugging him to the point where he couldn't breath, in a graveyard, late at night. Sasuke let him go and stepped back looking at the ground.
I-It wasn't him. He smells like him and feels like him. Na-Naru-chan….. Sasuke whispered in his mind while small tears fell from his now cold black eyes. This blond stranger wasn't there anymore. Sasuke was in his own little world now. He was remembering the feel of Naruto close to him, the warmth, his laugh, his shining blue eyes, his tears that fell when he was scared, everything about him. He was nothing more then a memory now.
Naruto fell to his knees coughing up blood. Sasuke stiffened and looked at Naruto through his tears.
" Naruto!" Sasuke yelled jumping up. It's the same. Its him. Its my Naru-chan. Naruto! Onegai be alright. I have to get him to my house. Itachi. He should be home. I Cant carry him to my car by myself. Sasuke dug out his cell phone and dialed Itachis Number. He picked up on the first ring. Sasuke never called Itachi anymore. Not even if he was in a fight and had to spend the night in a allyway.
"Sasuke. What it is? You never call me." Itachi sounded worried, he should be.
"Cemetery, Now, No questions. Just do it." Sasuke hung up and wiped some blood from Naruto's mouth. He didn't know when Naruto had passed out. Sasuke picked up Naruto and started to walk back to the gates. They were pretty deep into the Cemetery so at the pace that Sasuke was walking it would take about 20 minutes to get to the gates.
Naru-chan. You have to be ok. Onegai be ok. You have to. I cant lose you a second time. I cant. If you die then no one will stop me in killing myself. I wont be separated from you again.
The storm that had been going non stop all day got a little harder slamming against Sasuke. He almost fell a few times while carrying Naruto. Just like on that same day. The same storm blew in. Giving back the life that everyone thought was lost.
