This is a short one-shot i wrote on the idea thats this is how the fight at the waterfall SHOULD have gone ;)

I had plans to continue it, but i'm quite lazy, so if you want me to continue it let me know otherwise i wont. Enjoy!

The sound of the waterfall in the background could barely be heard over the screams of anger and hurt coming from a certain blond shinobi. He charged at his raven-haired opponent, just as he had so many times before. But this time was different. This time he wasn't fighting to prove himself. This wasn't another typical sparring match with his best friend; this was a fight for his live.

Naruto and Sasuke had been going at it for about 2 hours, and neither of them was going to last much longer. Tears streamed down Naruto's scratched and bruised face. "Why does he have to be like this?" Naruto asked himself, swinging a leg at Sasuke's head and missing. "I thought he was happy here! I thought I was enough to make him stay…"

Sasuke threw a punch at Naruto's head, and immediately followed with 2 more to Naruto's stomach be fore the blond could react. Naruto fell onto the water below him, grasping his stomach. Sasuke moved so that he was standing directly over Naruto. He reached into his back pouch and pulled out a single kunai. Naruto looked at Sasuke's face, and cringed away when their eyes finally met.

Naruto was hoping that he could find some glimmer of hope, some sign that he could stop his friend. Instead, all he found was determination. Determination to kill. Sasuke had already made up his mind and Naruto knew it. Sasuke was going to kill him no matter what.

Naruto was so overwhelmed with pain at the thought of Sasuke wanting to kill him that he started to sob uncontrollably. He made no effort to calm himself. He decided that since there was no way he would be able to stop Sasuke, he might as well let everything out.

Still sobbing hysterically, Naruto looked back up at Sasuke, who had been simply observing the explosion of emotion through Naruto. As Naruto looked into Sasuke's eyes yet again, he took a deep breath so that he could speak clearly, and said three words. Three words that could save his live.

"I love you."
