KEY:
" Why did you betray me? Naruto?" Italicized names represents a person saying someone's old name. It's basically easier than making up new names and then have be confused as to who those name were. Because think about if you were reincarnated you wouldn't have the same name.

Chapter 7
"Is something the matter Neji-kun?" Naruto asked his boyfriend concern clearly written on his face. It was the day before he was going to marry Tenten and he still hadn't told Naruto. Neji at first thought he would have more time, because he didn't believe that a wedding could be planned in the short time. He quickly found out, however, that his uncle had been making arrangements for this wedding for months.
Neji looked down at his blue eyed angel. How was he going to break up with Naruto? The boy that he had taken under his wing and then ended up fallen in love with. He would be nothing without Naruto. But with Naruto he would have nothing. He was sure that his uncle would see to that.
"Nothing is wrong with me Naruto, but I need to tell you something." Neji paused. "It's important."
Naruto gave him his full attention. "I'm listening."
Neji looked into Naruto's eyes and said. "Naruto I...I'm..."
Naruto pouted not understanding why his boyfriend was stuttering as if he was his cousin. "Neji your what?"
"I'm in love with you." He blurted out. He looked away from Naruto realizing that those words were far from 'I want to break up with you.'
"I love you too." Naruto said letting out the breath he didn't know he was holding. For some reason Naruto thought that Neji maybe cheating on him or something. But that was ridiculous Neji only had eyes for him.

Friday morning began like any other day. Naruto woke up, ate, washed up, dressed, and then walked to school. In spite of his boring morning Naruto believed that today something big was going to happen. He had no clue what, but he knew it would change his life in same way.
At school something that never had occurred before happened. Hinata was absent. Hinata was never absent. NEVER! Even if she had a fever and puked every ten minuted, she would still manage to come to school. Naruto walked over to Hinata's boyfriend to ask if he knew wide this odd occurrence was happening. When he greeted Kiba the boy looked at him with a look filled with pity.
"You must feel awful Naruto." Kiba said in a low voice. "But don't let that bastard put you down."
"The bastard hasn't done anything to me today." Thinking that Kiba was talking about Sasuke when the boy had said bastard.
"Don't be in denial Naruto. And don' put on a mask to show the world." Kiba then placed a arm on Naruto's shoulder. "Just let the pain out." Then he embraced the blond and said in a loud voice so that everyone in the class could hear him, "IT'S OKAY TO CRY SOMETIMES!!!" Kiba didn't realize that he was the only one that was crying.
Naruto patted Kiba's back and whispered so only Kiba could hear him, "Kiba I have no idea what your talking about. All I wanted to ask was how Hinata was doing, but then you had to bring up the teme. And now your crying while hugging me. What gives?" Naruto asked confusion laced over his angelic features.
"You don't know?" Kiba said now becoming angry. "That bastard didn't even have the decency of telling you."
"What didn't Sasuke not tell me. Can't you just tell me now? And will you please tell where Hinata is."
"She's at a wedding." Kiba looked towards Naruto trying to see if he had rung any bells.
And it had! Naruto now knew why Kiba was acting so strange. "Oh Kiba...how..."
"Your finally behaving like you should..."
"How could Hinata get married to some other guy." Yes it all made sense now. Kiba had once told Naruto that he would never be complete without Hinata. So, if Naruto's assumptions were true than Hinata was at her own wedding and Kiba was going crazy, because she was marrying someone else.
HINATA'S NOT MARRYING SOME OTHER GUY!!!"
Or Naruto could be mistaken by his whole theory. "Then whose wedding is she attending." Naruto said while scratching his head. He was so sure that his assumptions were correct.
"Neji."
S+A+S+U+N+A+R+U
When Naruto first heard Kiba say that it was Neji's wedding that Hinata was attending, his immediate response was to not believe him. But when he looked into the eyes of the boy who had been his friend for years, he knew the truth. Kiba wouldn't joke around about something like this.
The pain he felt was not reflected by nature, because it wasn't raining. He was a clear cloudless day with a nice breeze. It was 6:00 PM and Naruto stood on the bridge that connected his town to the next. He stood there contemplating one thin; whether or not to jump. He was about to make the plunge until a voice of reason came through to him.
"Don't do it." The voice spoke calmly, but as Naruto looked into the others face he could see the panic laced in the dark eyes. Naruto ignored him and took another step forward. "NARUTO PLLEASE!" The voice was now begging him sounding as panicked as the owner of it looked. Naruto once again looked at those eyes. Those eyes were the exact opposite in color to Neji's. Yet Naruto found himself similarly drawn to them like he was to Neji's. Drawn to the mysterious Uchia.
Before Naruto knows it he's in Sasuke's arms and away from the ledge. Tears were now spilling from both blue and black eyes. "Baka." Sasuke said through his tears. "You could have died. YOU COULD HAVE DIED!" He was now angry. Angry at Naruto for doing something so stupid. Angry at Neji for hurting Naruto once again. But he was also angry at himself for bursting out in tears in front of Naruto.
"I know that. That's what I wanted to happen." Sasuke's eyes widened at this confession.
"USURATONKACHI!" Naruto expects to be slapped like he was in his dream. He expects to feel the sting on his cheek any second. It doesn't come. Instead he felt Sasuke's lips fall onto his own. Sasuke was kissing him and worst he was kissing him back. And at the moment it felt good, but when realization finally struck Naruto that he was using Sasuke he pushed away.
Sasuke didn't take this as rejection and he continued to hold Naruto. "I can't lose you Naruto." He said as he stroked the blonde's hair. "Not again."
And at the moment Naruto understood what Sasuke had meant by not again. "Your not going to lose me Sasuke."
Next Time: A Japanese history lesson (at school not by me) and Naruto starts to remember his past life.
