Disclaimer: yeh no...still don't own Naruto or its Characters...too bad.
Now introducing the second Chapter of Lives Apart hoping you enjoy.
Again don't kill me because its nothing at all like the Anime. It wont be. This is my story NOT Kishimoto-san's.
A fight between Uchiha can last for seconds, With no one moving at all. But this one, the match seemed to be even. Sasuke had left his emotions far behind him. This made him strong, just as he had always wanted. Itachi sensed this, and as saddened as he was, he fought to kill Sasuke. One of them would die here today, but Itachi sensed his brother was already lost to this world. In the end, Itachi smiled at Sasuke , as if in forgiveness, and poked Sasuke in the forehead.
Silence echoed around him. His brother lay dead at his feet, but he was just as dead. As he stared down at his brother, he thought of nothing. Nothing at all. Deep in the back of his mind, a place he could no longer access, he began to wonder things. Things like, why did Itachi seem to forgive him? Why did Itachi revert to the brother he always thought he was? Was killing Itachi the wrong thing to do? What should he do now that his life's ambition was over?
His active mind answered the last of his questions fairly easily. He had nothing to live for now, so there was no reason to live. As he went to draw his sword, his entire body froze, and his stoic faze contorted to shock for a split second, as he felt cold clammy hands on his chest, and a long tongue lick over the curse mark. "I killed you…" he growled to Orochimaru, who chuckled cruelly. "Obviously not little Uchiha…" His hands roaming over Sasuke's body.
He pushed the Uchiha up against a rock and forced a kiss on him, ramming his long tongue down Sasuke's throat. Sasuke's stoic eyes narrowed in pain. It had been a good year since he'd suffered this, and he had gotten too used to freedom. Orochimaru smirked, having been hoping for something like this. That meant his little Uchiha would be tight for him. Orochimaru reached down and wrapped his snaky hand around Sasuke's member, causing the raven to gasp involuntarily. Orochimaru pulled his tongue from Sasuke, leaving him panting slightly. "Hard already Sasuke-kun? My my…did you miss me that much?" But Sasuke had enough control to say nothing, and his obsidian eyes showed nothing.
Orochimaru began to pump his hand on Sasuke's member, causing the boy to claw at the rock involuntarily. Even this shell could not stop physical reactions. Heat still coiled in his abdomen, and he still needed release, but he wasn't foolish enough to believe he'd get it. IT didn't matter. In five minutes he'd be dead anyway. Sure enough when Sasuke was close, Orochimaru just let go, and vanished. Gone completely. Sasuke stood up off the rock and looked around, seeing no trace of the Snake. Finally he was left alone, alone to die.
As he drew his sword, he heard footsteps behind him, and he turned to look. There, panting from running, stood the one blue eyed blonde haired idiot that Sasuke had let go three years ago. The one person that could get his black heart beating erratically. The last person he ever really cared about. The one person that could change his mind. He wouldn't give him that chance. Especially not in this shameful state, where just standing here was taking a lot of effort. Sasuke closed his eyes, and shoved his sword through his chest. The last thing Sasuke heard, before darkness engulfed him was Naruto's voice Calling out to him. He was glad, that the last thing he heard was Naruto, and not that damn snake.
Naruto gasped and ran to his fallen friend. He felt tears in his eyes and picked Sasuke up. Sasuke couldn't be dead. He just couldn't be. He couldn't get Sasuke to Sakura like this. He pulled the Sword out of Sasuke's chest and wrapped the wound. A voice deep in the back of his mind was telling him that Sasuke was dead, but he refused to believe it. He pulled out some bandages from his bag and pulled the top of Sasuke's outfit off and wrapped the wound tightly. He had to do something so he didn't bleed to death, or so he told himself. As tears poured down his face, he heard the sound of twigs cracking. He looked up and saw none other than the snake Ninja himself. He knew Orochimaru wanted to banter with him, but Naruto just didn't have the time.
He put Sasuke's arm around his shoulder and grabbed his Katana and stood up. When he looked up the snake was right in front of him. Naruto glared at him and tried to put his own body between Sasuke and Orochimaru, causing the snake to laugh. "You will never get him back now Naruto-kun." Orochimaru hissed to the blonde. "He belongs to me…and he always will…" his voice leaked venom, but Naruto just growled at him, even with tears in his eyes. "He's free of you now…" He growled, before pushing off the ground and running off, with Sasuke in tow.
Soon he got back to the cave that was base for him, Sakura, Kakashi, Sai, and Neji. He was glad to see Sakura there. He ran over and lowered Sasuke onto the floor. "Sakura-chan!" he said desperately. "You have to be able to heal him Sakura-chan!" Naruto added urgently. Naruto hadn't forgotten what he and Sasuke were once. He still loved the guy, even if he was an idiot. He couldn't lose him, not now.
Sakura gasped and took the bandages off Sasuke and began to pour her healing chakra into Sasuke's body, but even as she molded the muscles back together, tears began to pour from her own eyes. She was trying for Naruto's benefit but, she knew already Sasuke was dead. After a moment she pulled her hands away, the skin still broken but not so bad that he'd 'bleed to death'. She looked at Naruto sadly. "I'm sorry Naruto…" she said softly. "I know you tried everything you could…But Sasuke is dead…"
Kakashi herded Sai and Neji out, and Sakura put her hand on Naruto's shoulder. Sakura didn't know Naruto's relationship with Sasuke, it was a little too dangerous to tell her. But still she could tell Naruto was devastated. She placed her hand on Naruto's shoulder, but he just looked away, not wanting her to see him crying like this. He had never cried like this before. With Sasuke gone, what was the meaning of life? His entire life had been devoted to Sasuke. None of his other aspirations seemed important without Sasuke. "please…leave me alone for a bit Sakura-chan…" he said and she sighed and nodded. "Okay…" she whispered and then got up and left.
Naruto pulled Sasuke into his lap and held on to him. He buried his face in Sasuke's hair and let himself sob. Sasuke was gone, everything was meaningless now. But still, Naruto could not die like Sasuke. He had to continue to suffer, because Sakura, Kakashi, even that idiot Sai would be almost as devastated if they lost a comrade. So as Always, Naruto would suffer in silence. For now, he was taking his time to be with Sasuke, to cry for his fallen lover.
