Disclaimer: I only own the OC and the idea behind this story. If I owned Sasuke,...not even finishing that.
Lies
.-.-.-.-.-.
A bird's song drew me out of the dark tunnel. Slowly, I began to regain feeling in my body. My memories, once lost, were intact. I opened my eyes slowly, not wanting to be greeted by the morbid cell I called a room.
"Hey! She's awake!" A loud, blonde-haired boy shouted over his shoulder. "Heh. Granny Tsunade, it worked!"
"Would you stop calling me that?" The woman known as Tsunade said in a tired, annoyed voice.
"Where's Sasuke?" The blonde-haired boy stepped aside, and I caught sight of the cards that littered the hospital room table.
"Sasuke Uchiha betrayed this village. He was labeled a missing nin over eight months ago." Tsunade, obviously the Hokage, spoke sternly.
"Uchiha? His name was Uchiha?" I blinked to try and hold back the tears that were building.
"You know where he is?" The now serious blonde asked.
"...He's not here?" My voice cracked, and the pain in my back seemed to multiply with the breaking of my heart.
"He hasn't been in this village for over eight months. Did you meet with him?" Tsunade asked as the interrogating Hokage would.
"N-no," I lied and cast my eyes downward on my hands that rested in my lap.
"You've been out for a few months. I was able to find someone to seal that...," Tsunade motioned to my cursed seal. "You can explain what happened in two days' time. You'll be released as a citizen of Konoha." She left after her speech, and I found a hand grasping my own.
"Why did you lie? If you know where he is-!" The blonde began.
"Naruto was a...friend of mine, before I became a missing nin," Sasuke said as he looked out the window.
I found myself sobbing as I remembered the evenings I spent with Sasuke. I wanted to die there with him, not wake up in another foreign country! I didn't want to be alone.
"I'm sorry. If I said something...," Naruto trailed off as he scratched the back of his head.
"Naruto!" A girl scolded from outside of the room.
"Naruto," I thought and looked up at him.
A light blush colored his cheeks, and he released my hand. Seeing him blush caused my cheeks to redden as well, but I did not feel the butterflies that I'd had with Sasuke.
"Itachi is dead," I said as I found myself gazing out the window.
"So it's over." Naruto took a seat next to my bed. "Did he...say anything about me?" His face showed the pain he felt, and it made me want to cry even more.
"You'll always be his friend." He looked up at me in surprise, and a wide grin formed on his face.
He cried, and I put my hand over his. Sasuke had left not only his friends and village, he left the one that loved him.
"You said I wouldn't die," I said aloud. "You lied."

It's over. Now I can present people with a choice. If only one person reviews for it, I will grant the wish!
Remember when Oren said that she had a sister? Well, I made a sequel about her sister. I can assure you that at the end of that story---it's already been completed---Oren makes another appearance.
The story is a GaaraxOC story.
Thanks for reading! Reviews are always nice!
Oh, yes, because no one else reviewed, I might as well dedicate this entire story to...Luffly Emi:)
Later!
