Naruto's p.o.v
I glare at the bastard that dared think about Sakura. She was too good for him. He didn't deserve her. All those years of pain and suffering that he caused proved it.
"Your place or mine?"
I wanted to rip out his throat and arms and every single part of him. "Yours."
He nodded in agreement and led the way. We didn't make any small talk either in our minds or outside. Too much shit had happened between us to just move on.
We stuck to the walls and the darkness they provided. Our security detail might have been called off but the chance still remained that any ANBU that caught sight of us would report back to the Hokage. As far as we knew Sasuke nor me had a track record of being close in this timeline and being on the same team would not bridge that gap so soon. Not that I wanted that to happen. I hate the bastard.
"Will you ever let go of this hatred against him?"
"Never."
"Have it your way then. But be warned. You will regret it then, Naruto."
We enter Sasuke's home and I pass by him to the kitchen. The bastard had to have at least one bottle of sake lying around if his drunken ass hadn't drank it all.
"There's a stash in the cupboard. In a box under the cans of beans. It's were Mother kept it for guests."
I grunt in acceptance but ignore the boy.
"What do you want Naruto?" He almost sounded tired.
"You know perfectly well what I want Uchiha. I want you to stay the hell away from Sakura!" I slam the crate of sake on the table to reinforce my point.
Sasuke's eyes bleeding into the Eternal Sharigan stage, bypassing the others, spoke volumes of his anger. "I will do what I want Jinchuriki! Sakura is a free woman and if I want and she agrees to have me, then I'll be with her! We do not get to play by your rules anymore!"
I started laughing. Did the guy finally lose his fucking mind? "My rules? My rules? We were always playing by your rules Sasuke! You were the one that skipped out on us, you were the one that kept us chasing after you, you were the one to tear the whole world apart, so do not tell me we were playing by my rules!" I spat out venomously.
"Stop blaming me for something I had no control over!" He shouted back.
"You killed Sakura! You had control over everything!"
"You killed her too. You Uzumaki Naruto killed Sakura!"
I stagger back. I knew I killed Sakura, that fucking fact never left my mind, but I never truly thought about the fact. That was one reality I never wanted to ponder on. But figures Sasuke would bring it up. "I know. I fucking know! And there's not a fucking moment when I don't think about. Her blood in my hands or her eyes losing their life. Sakura is dead and I might have killed her physically but she was dead long before then and I can never forgive you.
"You were my best friend, my rival and my brother. I could have forgiven you, I was ready to ignore all my hate for you and pretend that everything was fine but damnit Sasuke. I can't. I can't forgive this. You killed the woman who meant the world to me, who was my world, and know you want to fucking court her? I won't allow it. I won't fucking let you-"
"I can still see her last moments." Silence. Absolute silence filled the room. "Every time I close my eyes I can see her getting hit by us, the exact moment the Chidori penetrated her skin, how she-"
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"
Memories flooded my day was imprinted in. My mind with extreme clarity and I could more than remember them on my own.
"Kit. It's time to go home now kit."
Slowly my mind disconnects with the outside world and Kuruma takes over. I knew what was happening, I was in shock. Sasuke's words had given more life to the memories of that day. It pushed them to the forefront and I had to deal with them now, except I didn't want to. I didn't want to face the fact that at one point Sakura had died and Kami-sama it was my fault. It was all my fault.
Kuruma-me nodded at Sasuke who was watching me with wary eyes. "This one will take the Kit home."
It was my fault. All my fault.
No one's p.o.v
Three youngsters laid side by side as the sun rose though the sky. The pinkette and only girl of the trio had lain her head on the blond of the trio and the rest of her tried to melt into's the blacknette's not that either boy seemed to mind. The blonde enjoyed the weight of her on him and barely controlled his urge to run his hand through her hair. The blacknette however simply used her presence to ground himself as he stared off into space.
"She's very trusting isn't she the kitling?"
"Why is she behaving this way Fox?"
"She knows that she's safe with her Alphas."
"She has no Alphas Kuruma."
"Retract that sentence Kit. Do it now!"
"What the hell are you going on about Kuruma? It's the truth! I know it, you know it, we all know it. Sasuke is not Sakura's Alpha."
"Kamis be damned."
The peace in the training filed was disturbed as a silver haired man entered the clearing. Or at least the peace was further disturbed. "Morning- What the hell is going on!"
The pinkette had gone from a peaceful slumber to a seizure like state. It had come sudden and unprecedented to them and scared the wits of the three. "Sensei!"
"Naruto! What happened? Why is she behaving like this?"
"We don't know Sensei. She just– she just started acting like this. Sensei we have to help her!" 'Sensei' seemed to be caught off guard by the blacknette's outburst but simply hit to action to get his student medical attention.
The two boys had only arrived at the hospital moments after their teacher did but no one questioned their speed or knowledge of the exact hospital floor.
"K-Kuruma?"
"Silence!"
"What the hell is going on Fox! Why is Sakura having a Grand Mal?"
"I warned you! Your existence on this timeline is only because of her! The Kitling is what's keeping you anchored and that only happens if you both work together!"
"What?"
"She is too young, neither her body nor chakra can sustain only one of you, it would be too taxing on her body especially you Naruto. Normal ninja's aren't equipped with the necessary tools to handle a tailed-beast."
"Damn it Kuruma what the hell does that mean!"
"It means her body overtaxed. Both your chakras run through her system to keep you anchored. Any excess would be managed by you. But the connection has been severed and Sakura can't handle the overload. We're lucky Naruto's chakra isn't destroying her pathways." The dark voice hissed in anger.
"WHAT!" Said the two not-so-young voices in concord.
"Why the hell weren't we told? Why would you keep this a secret?"
"I did tell you! I told you that we are connected. Obviously it was too much to hope that your human minds would have understood what that meant."
"You bast-"
"Enough! Arguing will it fix it so tell us Kuruma what will! What will it take to save Sakura?"
"There is no way."
