Chapter 3
A kiss to bring me back to life
[Naruto's POV]
"You should have told me you were sick!" he snapped at me.
It wasn't a mistake.
"Stop trying to act like you're healthy, you Dobe!"
Is that a word of concern or an insult? But still I know…
"What would you have done if I had?" I said. I wanted to shout it to him but I'm chasing the air so couldn't. My sentence ware more like a whisper.
"Then I wouldn't have push you like that!" he whined.
"Master if you are going to apologize, then you should be more honest." the bat uttered.
"Shut up, will you!" then, he hit the bat again on its head.
This guy. . .
"That hurts master!"
It wasn't a mistake…
"Then, you should learn to shut up!"
He's got a bad mouth but, in reality he's not, really…
"Uzumaki Naruto," I introduced myself for the second time. I have only my small voice but I know it is loud enough to hear me.
"Huh? You said something?" they both stop and looked at me.
"My name's Uzumaki Naruto" I repeated
Silence…
But in that silence I did not felt alone anymore. I smiled.
"Born in winter season and predicted to die on the winter season this year." I started to tell my story to them and they listen to me.
"This was the name given to me by the doctors, it means to be brave and to be able to live year after yours for thousands of years, but personally I think they're lying..."Well, My name was actually name after a type of Kamaboko (fish Cake) that I really like to eat on my Ramen.
The doctors and nurses just invent something for me to believe just like being brave as a meaning for my name and such for me to fight this illness.
Sometimes I wish that my name really means like that. To live more than a thousand years.
"A little bit too much, huh? A thousand years?" he asked.
"That's right... But actually that became one of my dreams to live at least a year more, so I could see the snow... to know if my parents will come and get me but it seems like it's about time, my seizures are getting more and more often each day, this year I don't think I'll be able to see the snow..." I fake a smile, but inside of me. I'm losing hope.
I want to live longer.
To know if I can love and be loved, I need attention, not only from the doctors and nurses but to someone special and can be with me in my entire life, if I have a longer one.
"Don't give up. You don't know thing yet. That's what I don't like to humans." He spoke almost blankly before adding as an afterthought"…humans are weak…" I looked at him. He looked so sad. I know I really know that he's not a bad person.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Sasuke… Uchiha Sasuke"
"Really Sasuke, are you free tomorrow?"
"Huh?"
[Naruto's POV]
"Wow it's been a while since I've come out to town!" I exclaimed.
I'm happy I got a chance to get out again and smell the air outside the white hospital, fresh air always did beat that sterile smell after all. I looked at myself in the mirror; it was surely a sight to behold
Wow! I'm growing!
The orange t-shirt that Iruka gave me was a little bit smaller on me now and the black jeans are a little bit shorter now, but it's still nice to look at myself, no matter the faults. I glanced at the glaring vampire. Now I know his name. Sasuke…
"Why do I have to come with you?" he said to me, I smiled to him. In my mind I have a very, very nice prank to pull him; it will ensure that he can't refuse.
"Ack! The place where you push me! It's… hurting again!" I winced just to add dramatic effect; this is so fun.
". . . ." he looked at me with shocked eyes and ran to see if I was alright. I sobered up slightly and chuckled,
"Gotcha," I called out, oh boy was he going to be furious, oh well, as long as it ensures he agrees to come with me,
"WH-What?" he said, in raised tone.
"If you want that to happen, then, go! Refuse. I will not be in peace if I die!" I crossed my arms and frowned. That had to get him.
He looked at me as though I were the devil, that was a mighty rich look coming from him, after all, all I did was play a prank "Ok, okay, I'll go with you." He said with a sigh, after a moment had a passed.
I smiled devilishly to him. I feel as though I just won a competition or something with him, it was quite a nice feeling.
"Okay, let's see, where do you want to go Itachi?"
"Oh! So you're ignoring me now? I get it... such a childish attitude. Hn," He said angrily but he has no choice. I think I'm good at blackmailing people err- vampires and I think this will be a great day!
[Third person's POV]
Bang!
"Doctor Iruka! Why did you give Naruto permission to go out? He might get a seizure and we will not be there for him!" Sakura whined. He approaches the doctor who was looking at the glass window of the hospital.
"I let him go because he wanted to, I can't remove his free will especially at a time such as this, and besides, wouldn't you want him to have fun in the end?" Sakura stare at Iruka, not accepting what the doctor was trying to say.
"Doctor, what are you trying to say?" Sakura asked.
His eyes filled with emotion that the pink haired girl can't read; Happiness? Regret? Sadness? But why?
"Before he can even see the snow . . . the next time he gets a seizure… He will… He will leave this world that abandoned him…"
Sakura started to cry.
She knew how the blond really wished to see the snow. It was one of the things he dreamed of seeing, but now, fate was against him, she felt pity for him; his death was so, very near.
[Naruto's POV]
"Sasuke, you want some juice?" I asked, before handing Itachi a juice and then holding out another one to him, he took the drunk, but did not look at me as he did so. He was looking at somewhere else. I looked at the place where he was looking and saw a little girl with a red balloon and we both saw that the girl started to sob when her balloon flew to the sky.
Sasuke left where we are standing. He jump and catches the red balloon.
I didn't expect Sasuke to jump that high just to take the balloon and hand it to the now smiling girl. He looked so angelic; an angel without wings, but with a smile was on his face. It was a rare smile full of happiness. It made me happy; He was happy to give happiness to others. He saw me staring at him and I smiled sweetly.
He waved goodbye to the young girl and get back to us.
"What are you smiling at?" he questioned.
"You're nice." I complimented.
"Eh? Stop teasing me! It's not that I'm trying to be nice…." His words were cut off when an interruption happened,
"Help, somebody, Help There's been an accident!" A person shouted, then, blood was seen on the road. Someone was hit by a car. There was a gasp. I looked and noticed Sasuke quickly turn his back to me.
"Sasuke, are you okay?" I asked, but he didn't answer. I pulled him so that I could face him and I saw his vampire teeth. "Sasuke, what- Did you lie to me when you said that you hated blood? Where you lying!? See your body is naturally reacting like this. Why do you have to go through all this just to avoid this? Sasuke I'll give you my blood!" I convinced him. He seems struggling so hard.
"Shut up!" He snapped at me, not looking at my face.
"Sasuke I'm serious. This time I'm not kidding! I want to be with…!"
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" He cut my words. I can see his Fangs.
"Sasuke listen to me!"
"Shut up! Wouldn't you imagine? A thousand years of life? Do you know what it will be like to live a thousand years from now?" He grabbed my arms and I can feel how mad he was. His grip slowly tightened.
"Sasuke" All I could do was say his name.
He pushes me away, and then he ran; he ran away from me.
Away from the crowd Sasuke's mind was in scrambles as he mused to himself;
[Sasuke's POV]
They'll always go before me, in my incredibly long life of a thousand years... How many times will I see people dying? How many times will I be left behind?
[Naruto's POV]
"You are right Naruto..." the bat said to me, pertaining to Sasuke who lied of hating blood. He is indeed a vampire.
I just stayed where I was standing until I felt the urge to run, when that came; I started to run. I didn't know what to do or what to think.
Why?
Why did you lie to me? Why did you need to go through this? Why Sasuke?
"There's no such thing as a vampire who hates blood. It's not master can't drink it . He's afraid to." Itachi continued. Sasuke continued running until he was gone to my sight. Where was he?
[Sasuke's POV]
Will I be able to take someone with me, into the future so far that I can't see? When that person despises his fate of eternal life, how will I take responsibility for it?
[Naruto's POV]
Where are you Sasuke?
Tears fell down my cheeks involuntarily. I didn't notice the warm liquid on my face. I just continued to run still. The bat was flying behind my back. I ran as far and as long as I could. I'm tired but I'm determined to find him. I don't know why I am so concerned to him. I don't know why but that was my heart says to me. I don't care if my visions are not normal anymore. It feels that I'm running to a spinning road. It's not that he hates human. It's not that he's mean. Sasuke… this vampire is too nice.
"Where's Sasuke? I want to see him, I just have to…"
Sasuke… I need to find him.
"Naruto!" the bat shouted.
[Third person's POV]
The crowd panicked. Some people brought the unconscious blonde to Konoha hospital. Itachi couldn't do anything for him, this boy; this person whom his master was so fond of.
Their friend,
He needed to find his master and tell what happened. He flew swiftly to search for Sasuke. Sasuke needed to know, he just needed to.
[Third person's POV]
Naruto woke up on the hospital with very tired eyes. He couldn't breathe. It felt like he was dying. Was this really the time that he would die? He was sent to the ER room. The people around him; Iruka and Sakura…
But where was Sasuke?
Where was Itachi?
Where were his parents?
Where were they?
He didn't want to go. He closed his eyes.
He couldn't feel any pain. Sakura was crying, but her sobs seemed so far away from him.
Was he already dead? But he could still hear Sakura's voice. No, he didn't want to go. He wanted to live.
[Naruto's POV]
I can't feel my senses. I just feel the cold. All colors seem to fade away in my eyes. I can't reach you all. I'm frozen right now but what I can do?
Sasuke…
Where's Sasuke?
Sasuke…
His fear of having a future he couldn't see and my fear of having little to no future; which one was worst? I couldn't tell, but please… Please someone tell him…
I felt electricity to my body.
CPR?
"Clear!" I heard Iruka said. Then another wave travelled throughout my body. I started to feel normal again. I tried to open my eyes.
Iruka?
Why he was not moving.
Someone was approaching the room… I looked at the floor and saw a familiar shoe.
Sasuke?
"I stopped time for just a little while. Don't think I did it for you. I just came here because Itachi came to me crying." he stood beside my bed. He was just like me, left behind by the people he loved.
"I'm sorry." I told him. I removed the oxygen respirator then I looked and stared at him. "I'm sorry I'm leaving you behind." I inhaled then continued, "The death of the people close to you must be worst thing that could happen to you. But Sasuke… trust me, there are people out there who will need you-"I said to him in a small voice.
Yeah, there's someone out there that needs you, feeling just like how I felt when I was with you. There will be people who will want to live with you forever.
"-Wanting to be with you from the bottom of my heart. There will be people like that who will want to live with you forever." I added. There are people like me that want to live with you in your whole life. We are the same. We are like each other. "And you know that whatever happens, they'll go through it with you." I said almost in a whisper but was loud enough to be heard.
If only you could know.
I want you to know that whatever happens I'll go through it with you.
If I have a longer life,
I don't want you to live your life alone and feel the loneliness inside.
Now I know… Now I understand you.
Now I know why you are so special to me.
You and I are the same.
It seems that you are the reflection of my true self.
Thump.
Maybe it's time...
Thump.
I saw him cry silently beside my bed, his pain. His suffering… if only I could wipe away those tears. His vampire teeth were still there.
"Sasuke…" He looked at me with those onyx eyes that full of agony. Please… please don't cry for me… I smiled to him weakly.
Thump.
"Well, I guess I won't be seeing snow this year… but I really wanted to see it with you."
Thump.
I closed my eyes.
"Goodbye Sasuke."
[Sasuke's POV]
I looked at Naruto, me, Sasuke, actually feeling the agony of watching Naruto dying right before my eyes,
Then it hit me.
"Na- NARUTO!" I shouted.
Can you hear me?
Please don't go yet…
I checked his pulse…
Nothing
I check his heartbeat…
Nothing
The machine beside him on the other side of the bed was deafening with its long sound.
No, this can't be. I bite my wrist and blood flow slowly. Some droplets of blood fell to his pale lips.
Giving you a life of a thousand years…
I can't do those things, but Naruto, at least for a while…
I lifted the smaller boy's head and bring his pale lips to mine. I can taste my own blood but I don't care. I just… I just want you to live longer... At least for now… For you… Just a kiss to bring you back.
For now This is all I can do…
Please..
Let me see the snow this year with you.
The snow fell from the sky.
It is winter already.
the familiar white coated the whole place as three form were enjoying the season.
"Hey IT'S FREAKING COLD!" A pale onyx-eyed guy shouted, "Are you trying to make me freeze to death?" he added.
"He's got a huge attitude for being frail, "a bubbly blonde whispered to Itachi.
"Yes' he doesn't like to surrender his pride." the bat answered, rolling his eyes to add to his point.
"He's probably trying to sound tough that way…"
Whisper
Whisper
"I CAN HEAR BOTH OF YOU!" Sasuke Angrily Shouted.
[Naruto's POV]
It's said that a vampire's blood could extend a life.
AHHH-CHOO!
SPLAT…
"It's my entire fault for giving you my precious blood then! See I'm starving!" Sasuke shouted again.
"I'm sorry okay?" I smiled to him.
For now, I have regained my life but… I received a piece of life from him, that seemed to tell my heart that with every beat, the day I save his heart will come… This feeling will someday… Turn into an everlasting love for a thousand years… Yes, an everlasting love because…
I love him
He is a part of my life now
But I know he still don't have any feelings for me yet.
"Let's go now Sasuke… I want to eat ramen. I'll pay for the food..." I shouted.
"Of course, Dobe…" He smirked.
I saw a smile on his face…
I can now see the snow this year... with him…
I know he don't love me yet but I will wait… even for a thousand years of hidden love will be alright with me. As long as I'm with him and can feel the heart beat of this vampire.
I can live.
And I will wait…
A/n: that's it! SNIFF! It's so cute! Really! And belated happy valentines to all! thanks for "FrostyIceCube" . And please read and review!
