AUTHOR'S NOTE: The most passionate it gets is this chapter. As much yaoi as I read, i don't want to upset everyone with my awful yaoi writing skills.

DISCLAIMER: Once again, I do not own Naruto (Silently crying about that fact)

I fainted. No fucking kidding. Me, the last remaining Uchiha, had fainted. Maybe it was because I thought everyone was kidding when they were talking about Naruto coming back. I wish that that was the case, but deep down inside I know that I fainted because I missed him that much, and that my heart wasn't prepared for the sudden swarm of butterflies that came through my chest. I love him. I don't care if I have never held a conversation with him. I don't care if I was the one that made him distraught enough to leave the country, leaving all his friends and family behind. Hearing stories about his younger years had caused a flower of love to blossom inside of me, and all I can do is hope that he will accept me and learn to love me as I am over time.

As I watched Sasuke slowly fall to the ground, I felt a sudden rush of energy. Using this newfound energy, I run over to him, leaping over bags, children and people. I was amazed at the sudden agility, grace, and speed that I has just shown, and even more-so shocked by the fact that I had actually managed to catch Sasuke. As he falls into my arms I let out a sigh of complete and utter relief. Thank the stars he wasn't hurt.

I hear a cough sound behind me. Whoops, it appears that I had completely forgotten about all the other people who had come to greet me. Giving them all a sheepish grin, I prepared myself for the lecture I could bet was going to come. I had apparently prepared for the wrong scenario, though, because I was suddenly enveloped in a hug by both Jiraiya and Tsunade. Another thing I wasn't expecting was for Tsunade to have tears silently falling down her cheeks, onto the awaiting floor. Feeling bad, I suggested to them all that we meet up somewhere, and discuss the past four years.

As my eyes fluttered open I mumbled "Hey guys, Naruto's actually back".

I was extremely shocked when a voice replied, "No shit Sherlock".

Suddenly jolted back to reality by this comment I snapped my eyes open and sat up quickly, possibly setting a new world record for the fastest time anyone has sat up. As I launched my head forward, it connected with something inexplicably hard. Suddenly there is the same voice that replied to me before moaning something about 'Uchihas', and how they always need to cause them more pain than necessary. With the world finally coming into focus, my eyes met with another pair of eyes, a pair that I had not had a chance to see in over four years. "Naruto", I sighed. I guess that I got caught in the moment, because, next thing I know, I am surging my head forward into a kiss.

He was kissing me. The man I had dreamed about for four years, was actually, honest-to-god, kissing me. As my lips parted slightly, I felt his tongue dive into my mouth, exploring. Suddenly I remember that I was in a room full of people. And to make things worse, I hadn't even seen any of these people in years, and had already made fools of both myself and my beloved Sasuke. My eyes suddenly met with his, and I realised that we were both blushing furiously, possibly more-so than should have been humanly possible. I look around the room, noticing perverted smiles on both Kakashi's and Jiraiya's faces. Other faces that I noticed were a mixture of blushing madly, looking away, or having an expression of awe.

Naruto was watching everyone else in the room. I was watching Naruto. Suddenly I found myself embraced in a hug with Sakura, with her mumbling something about me being ok. That was when I suddenly noticed that I had tears streaming down my face, oh. My. Gosh. This is humiliating. Then I am sobbing.

I am suddenly enveloped in strong arms, which I quickly recognise to be Naruto's. I don't know if I was crying out of the sadness of not seeing him for so long, or from the happiness and relief of finally seeing him again. All I knew is that I finally felt as if a piece of me had been returned.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: In case there was any confusion in the fact that Sakura married Sai, but was soulmates with Lee, I have decided that it is because Sakura and Lee decided that they could stay just friends.
