Mysterious Figures
Author's Note: Well, I would type more if I had time. I'm still going to continue, but even if you review, it might be a week before I update. I will continue to update every Sunday, meaning this coming Sunday also. Well, hope you like it!
Silver walked along the dirt path, leading out of Konoha. I'm going to find Sasuke-kun…I'm going to bring him back.
It had been several days now. Silver had barely talked to anyone; including Naruto. She had let everyone see her in her original form. Everyone knew she was the Silver Angel. They were scared. They stayed away from her. Silver didn't care what anyone thought. She wasn't aware of anyone but Sasuke and herself. She'd healed in the past days; completely. She could now fight and kill anyone that she wanted. Naruto had tried to comfort her. He'd let her hug him and do anything that she wanted to him.
She continued along the path, the pebbles crunching under her feet. She stopped, but didn't turn around. Instead she continued looking down at her feet.
"Naruto…kun… why are you following me?"
"Where are you going Silver-chan?" Naruto mumbled, still looking away.
"I'm going to find Sasuke-kun… I'm going to bring him back…"
"Silver-chan… Why does everything always have to be about him? You always bring him up… Why?"
"Naruto-kun… He loved me. He looked after me… He cared for me... I… I… I love him… I guess I just regret never telling him that… I guess that's why I always bring him up…"
Naruto looked up. "Silver-chan, You're always making it sound like I don't even compare to him. You're always making it sound like he's the only one you care about. The only one that's ever been in your life…"
"You don't understand… I love him… I love him with all my heart! That's why I want to bring him back! You just don't understand!" Silver screamed, tears falling from her face.
"No… No Silver-chan… It's you that doesn't understand! You're the only one in this village that has ever accepted me for who I am! Not what I am! You're the only one that has ever stood up for me! You're the only one that's stuck with me! I love you!" Naruto stopped breathing. D-Did I just say that? "I…I love you Silver-chan," Naruto mumbled. N-Naruto-kun…loves me? A tear fell down his face, as did Silver's. The wind blew thru Silver's hair, making it glisten in the sunshine. Naruto stood behind her, head low. Silver had tears in her eyes. "I don't want you to leave… You're the only one that I've ever felt this way about… I love you… Silver-chan…" Silver was in shock.
She sat with her head on her knees, her hands wrapped around her legs, and her head staring off into the distance. Just like she had when her parents died. Her face was blank; thoughts were running through her mind; and her wings shielded her body. What do I do now? Should I still leave to find him? N-Naruto-kun loves me…Sasuke-kun loves me…I love Sasuke-kun…Do I love Naruto-kun? What should I do?
Flashback
"Silver…chan…Please don't leave… Please don't leave me…"
"Naruto-kun… I-I have to find Sasuke-kun… I have to bring him back to the village… Please understand…"
"Silver-chan… I do understand… I do understand… However… Sasuke-kun thinks you're dead… Would he come back if he knew that you weren't?" At this Silver turned around. She couldn't believe what Naruto had just said.
"W-what?"
"Would he really come back when he saw that you were alive? Would he return to the village just because of you? Silver…chan… Consider it… I went after him, trying to tell him that you were still alive… He said it was too late… He was right… It was too late. Will it make any difference if you tell him that you're still alive?" It was the truth. Silver stood in the cold wind, not moving a muscle. She was still in shock. Naruto wanted her to stay this badly. "I can't do much more to stop you… Please Silver-chan… stay… Naruto walked away with his hands in his pockets, his eyes staring off in the distance.
End Flashback
W-what should I do now??? Silver kept questioning herself, searching for an answer. "Okasan? Otosan? What should I do now?" Tears were in her eyes as she stared at her parent's grave. "I don't know what to do…" Two figures appeared in the distance. They neared Silver, very slowly, without saying a word. As they approached her, she could see that they were wearing black cloaks. One had a long sword on his back; the other with nothing but a ponytail.
"Are you the Silver Angel?' the strange figure said, stopping only a yard away from Silver.
"Hai."
"We have come to ask you to join us…"
