(Disclaimer I do not own any character from Naruto, Bleach, or any other reference I may make, I do however own Cloud Cross and the plot of the story).
Previously in A hero's life, Naruto thinks about how he met Cloud and Kyuubi is introduced into the story, Sasuke decides that he is going to tell Cloud that he likes her when she shows up at the ball tonight and now the continuance of A hero's life-
( Sasuke pov) In two hours the party begins, I just got my suit out and laid it on the bed, I can't believe how nervous I am, no one but Cloud has ever made me feel this way, I hope that I can get up the strength to tell her and not back out, I overheard my mom talking earlier, she is so happy that Itachi is coming to the party tonight, I would normally would be glad to see my older brother, but he has a bad habit that involves him always taking everything I want, he usually gets what he wants, the only thing that he hasn't taken from me is my friendship with Naruto, but that doesn't mean he didn't try already, tonight is certainly going to be interesting, not only do I have to keep my parents happy, but I want to tell Cloud how I feel and maybe ask her on a date, but lets not forget that I have to keep Itachi away from Cloud or he might try and date her before I can get ask her, it's too bad I never copied a duplication power, maybe there's still time to find one, its been about an hour since I laid my suit out, so I decide to go ahead and put it on, by the time I get completely ready I hear the first guest arrive, I stay upstairs in my room for about twenty more minutes and then I head down to the party, when I reach the bottom I see about twenty or more people have arrived, I hear the doorbell ring and I see Naruto and his parents walk in, I notice that Naruto is wearing a black fitted suit and a blood red tie, when he see's me he walks up to me and says hey, I ask him where he got the tie, because anyone who knows Naruto, knows that he always wears something orange everywhere he goes, he looks at me and says, you like it Cloud gave it to me, at first I was getting jealous, then I remember that Cloud and Naruto are like me and Naruto and that I have nothing to worry about, I hear my mother let out a happy laugh and I look towards the door, I see none other than Itachi walk through the doors, I was surprised to see that he had brought date, he usually doesn't bring a date but I guess he got tired of mom always asking him about his love life, maybe he will be so preoccupied with his date that he won't notice me talking to Cloud, a couple minutes pass and the entire room goes silent I look up and I see Cloud walk into the room, she is wearing a midnight blue dress that really made her eyes glow, the dress had thin silver writing on the bottom and it clung to her body in all the right places, the only thing that ruined the moment was when I noticed that she brought a date. (Cloud pov)Zabi came earlier than I expected, he said he wanted to come as backup on my mission, I told him that backup wasn't needed but he insisted, after putting on my dress I doubted that Deidre would appreciate me ruining his elegant gown with strange looking tattoos so I made them invisible, after getting dressed I noticed what Zabi was wearing and I had to admit that he looked pretty good tonight, but it was rare for any of our agents to look plain during a mission that involved dressing up, he had his flaming red hair with black streaks in it down tonight, it went down to about his chin and made him look mysterious and inviting to onlookers, after we walked in the door, the whole room had become silent and everyone was looking at us until Naruto walked up to us and started leading us to Sasuke then everyone started back up their previous conversations, when I looked across the room at Sasuke I noticed that he looked really mad and was glaring at Zabimaru, after Zabi noticed he asked me what was up with the pale kid, I replied saying that I was unsure, after we reached him Sasuke immediately wanted to know who Zabi was, after I introduced him Zabi started complaining about how much he missed Anko, when he explained who she was Sasuke looked relieved and Naruto looked like he wanted to laugh, before I could ask what was so funny I saw Fugaku Uchiha, quickly excusing myself I got up and walked towards Fugaku, after introducing myself I requested a private meeting concerning his clans safety, after that he politely asked me to meet him after the party to finish our conversation, nodding my head in agreement I headed back over to Zabi and the others and sat down at the table with them, Naruto and Zabi seemed to be in a heated conversation about which was better, fire or ice, after a couple of minutes passed Sasuke got a determined look on his face, he then asked me if I would like to dance, I quickly said yes so that I wouldn't be dragged into Naruto and Zabi's argument, after standing he lead over to the dance floor, at first he looked kind of nervous, then he started to get into the music he was a very good dancer, after twenty more minutes dancing he pulled me closer it was sort of surprising to me when I seemed to relax in his arms he started to lean his head forward almost like he was going to kiss me but before I could move back and tell him that I wasn't interested in a relationship several gunshots went off and some men walked through the door yelling out for no one to move or they would shoot. (That's the end of chapter 10 and I will update soon, what did you think of the ending, please review and tell others about my stories, bye).
