The place just adds up to the feeling of aloneness. It's no difference to our place over there, at some point it is worse. With this entire seemingly boundless dusty place, covered with sand and colossal rocks, the silence makes you wallow in the depths of regret. I could have been there on the other side, if I had just forgiven Itachi, if I didn't searched for power for revenge.

I had left a beautiful life with my friends, and left Naruto just for this...

And now, I am waiting for him.

By chance I know, Naruto would be placed there on the other side. His innocence made him pure, his youthful and sensitive attitude made him suitable there in heaven, and not at our place.

After long years, I want to see him.

I had been visiting this place since I had died because of fighting Orochimaru, it was long before I realized I was drowning on the wrong path. I had tried killing Orochimaru, but instead I was the one killed. My regret of doing evil things is not enough for them to put me there on the other side. I must suffer. But, I could not include not seeing him even in this world as my suffering. I want to say sorry.

I long to be forgiven.

For never in my life I had forgiven, and now that I understand the importance of this phenomenon, I beg for him to listen.

To give me another chance.

Sitting here, I recall how long I had been dead. On earth, it could have been 20 years ago. I died at the age of 18. But when you die, you retain your best self, being in a body or image you are best. As for me, that age was my best form.

I sat on my favorite place. My feet dangling, for it is a high colossal rock that seated in to. This is the best place to wait for someone, you could see every approaching soul as soon as they tried coming near to this boundary. For the last 20 years I had been hanging out here, I had seen angels and devils going here for different reasons. Our Superiors had told us this is against the law, but since we are devils, we could break any law. We are expected to do bad things anyway.

But never. Never I saw an angel and a devil hanging out. For it s the forbidden of the most forbidden. The most Dreaded.

I was about to leave that time, but, then… I saw a soul approaching. With hair kissed by the sun, golden and shimmering, I stood there, frozen. I want to believe it was not him, but as he slowly approaches, my heart thumps louder. Heavier.

I jumped from my seat, wanting to see him closely. Feel him closely. And it was really unbelievable, that after more than 20 years of not seeing each other, we are still bound to meet. All my waiting is not wasted. My patience is worthy.

And then, there he was. Right in front of me. Smiling in his mid 20s. But I knew it was him, with that sweet and innocent smile, he hadn't still changed, he's still the Naruto I had known. I couldn't explain my self, as I feel weak, the water gushing out of my eyes is not enough to explain what I feel. I felt happiness, embarassment, joy, anger, fright, sadness, all mixed up in to one.

And so he hugged me.

It was like time was frozen in to infinity, into eternity. We had not recognized, everyone in the place was looking at us. I want to tell him everything. I don't know where to start. But when I tried, he couldn't understand. When he tried speaking, he spoke foreign. That was the time we had discovered that devils and angels are not meant to understand each other by any word, thought, action or emotion. But I could read his feelings though, through his blue eyes. I feel his longing, the want to understand. The struggling. But we can't do anything. We, after all are gapped by a huge difference. I am a devil, he is an angel.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Not there Nana, that place is full of garbage, oooh, you really like to hang out by the garbage can do you?" Kakashi was running, chasing after his golden retriever, Nana. That dog is still a puppy, but he ran like a cheetah, and as hyper as a gorilla.

"I should have listen to mother, come out of there or I'll get you a collar and tie you everyday!!! Do you want that Nana? Do you? Do you?" Kakashi is loosing patience. It was exactly like the first time he met Nana. He is even holding a firecracker just like that time.

"Do you want me to light this? Huh? Huh? You'll explode if I do that! Like this! Kaboom damdidamdam bang bang whooooosh! BLAST! " Kakashi moved here and there moving animatedly. Ever since he recovered from being hospitalized he returned to his naughty, sooper kaduper energetic old self. Poor Nana, or let us say Naruto, who had been the first hand accepter of his pranks and bizarre ideas.

A black cat by the nearby tree purred himself out. Ha! That just deserves that baka. Atleast, I could just sit around and check Kakashi everytime, hiding by the trees and shadows. But Naruto has no choice but to live with that mini-devil-torturer. Ahahaha. Seems like I am loving and loving being evil every time I see those Kakashi's prank victims get mad and irritated. Ahahahha. After all, do I have any other choice but to be evil?

Kakashi boy looked so cute with that jumper he is wearing, plus the cap he wears, he looked so innocent, that's why many are deceived. But judging by his acts, he is nothing other done a naughty naughty boy. He fished a match on his pocket and lighted it, acting as if he is about to light the firecracker.

"Teehee. Sweet torment for you, sweet little Nana, you'll surely have a good blast! Hihihiihhihihih."

A blast? EXPLOSION I may say! I'll end up gut-exploded, organs blown up here anytime. And this pink nails. And this ooooh!!! This pentel pen marked curly mustache!!! I look rather silly. More than ugly! What that kid had been doing on me, experimenting on me! I am a dog, not a guinea pig for heaven's sake!!

"Oh, oh, oh, oh!!" Kakashi jumped here and there, very cautious and a little worried. He had just actually lit up a firecracker. Anytime now it would explode.

WHATTHEFUCK! WHATTHEFUCK!!! WHATTHEFUCK!!! WHATTHEFUCK!!!! WHATTHEFUCK!!!! WHATTHEFUCK!!!! WHATTHEFUCK!!!!

"Nana the dog! Stop cursing will you!!!! Oh, oh, oh, were will I throw this!!" Kakashi frolicked, skipping like an agitated worm. Just then, a black cat from the tree jumped from his lying, and scratched Kakashi again by his back. With this, kakashi dropped the firecracker. Sasuke in the black cat form, immediately held the firecracker by his mouth and ran far away, left it there and jump by a tree to keep safe. He moved so fast, that he was just in time to watch the explosion from afar.

Kakashi was still a little shocked by his own stupid act. "Phew, that was close! I could not actually let you Nana explode in to pieces, was I that naughty? And that mustache, it looks good on you, I am actually being nice!" He tried dusting off his back. "That cat again, it scratched me again, but anyhow, it saved me this time. That goodie little devil."

He then tried reaching up the tree to grab the cat, he doesn't know yet what to do to it if ever he successfully took hold of him. He just wanna play with him, the rest to happen, will be decided next.

"Ahoy, catie cat! Come down this instant, come to papa… I wont hurt you, come to me, I'll just show you some of my gratitude." He seem couldn't reach the cat through his little hands, and so he tried climbing the tree.

The cat hissed.

Don't you dare come near me, don't you dare touch me. Go and come back playing with your filthy dog, isn't he enough for your glory? Just go nearer and you'll taste what's true evil is. I was wrong saving you! Ohh! I had done another wrong act! I should have let you explode with that damn cracker!!!!

Kakashi just smiled at the cat and giggled. He walked around the tree and observed every specific detail closely. Kakashi tried looking for a spot to put his feet on, to start climbing it.

Nana, or naruto, ran towards the tree and barked at the cat, and to kakashi climbing.

You uchihah! Whose filthy? Who? Who? We don't need your heroic deeds if you'll just be so arrogant after! Might as well be torn in to pieces! You arrogant devil! Go and search fro more power just like what you did before! Go kakashi, go and get him! Then crush him into bits!!!

Kakashi laughed as he looked at his dog. He tried reaching the hissing cat. Trying his best to dodge its moving sharp claws.

That so godamn hurts Naruto. Sasuke thinks to himself. If you just knew. If you just knew how I long to explain anything! But no! I have to accept that this is my path! The dark side!

Kakashi slowly moved closer, he is now in a big branch, and as he moves to Sasuke the cat, the branch becomes shakier and shakier. It becomes thinner as he goes closer to grip him, the branch getting flimsier by the distance.

Arrogant devil ei? Arrogant devil!!! Sasuke hissed more. And more frightening, mind you. He moved his claws faster and stronger, making it sure it would cut deep if it hit. Kakashi just looked straight at the cat, the smile on his face melting away. Nana kept on barking wildly, running to and fro in front of the tree. Sasuke could have escaped now, he could just jumped away to a different tree. But his evil instincts told him not to, as he feels something on his favor to happen.

Crack.

Crack.

Crack.

Slowly, the tree branch is breaking down; little kakashi looking worried and shocked. He began to sweat drop, to fret, but it only made everything worse. His fast fretful actions just made the breaking down of the tree branch, faster, faster, and faster.

Sasuke purred a low laugh. He then jumped up and down his post to hasten up the branch to fall.

Nana barked frantically, knowing what disaster it could be. That is a high tree branch! Practically 6meters from the ground! It would surely bruise little kakashi boy in grave condition, he doesn't know what to do! Oh that arrogant devil!

Stop it Uchihah! The kid is just a kid; excuse him for being too naughty!

Sasuke didn't listen to Naruto, as it ducked down lower to collect more power to heighten his jump. As he jumped to a high level, he turned in to an angle facing the tree branch. He could see those worried faces on the boy and Naruto, as he did a something he learned as a ninja, oh how he missed this action, this drama. He twirled as fast as he can towards the end part of the branch, making sure that he is giving all his cat strength on hitting it.

Nooooooooo!

Kakashi boy looked at the cat, who was about to hit the end part of that tree branch. Kakashi tried moving backwards, struggling to his best. But it seems he could not make it.

Nooooooooo!

Naruto wanted to help, but he couldn't think how.

And so, Sasuke hit the tree, causing it to totally snap in a second. Kakashi fell and the rest of the story would be on the next chapter.
