Laura: "Heyyy guyyyyys sorry its been awhile. I've been super busy with friends, and family, and school... Plus I wanted to make this a good chapter :D"
Sasuke: "Hn..."
Laura: "Yeah, yeah. I know, excuses, excuses. Not all of us can sit around all day with our ridiculously hot boyfriend's and make sweet love every night."
Sasuke: *Smirks* "Sucks to be you."
Laura: *Gasp* "So you admit it!"
Sasuke: "Wha- NO! I didn't admit anything!" *blushes*
Laura: "You heard him right Naruto?! He said it!"
Sasuke: "I DID NOT!"
Naruto: "Winning."
DISCLAIMER: You don't think I own Naruto, right? Right.
Laura: "I'm totally listening to Naruto theme music right now... Just saying..."
"Rasengan!" The ground shook from the impact of the perfected jutsu with great force. Winds whipped around Sasuke as he dodged pieces of sharp rock that flew his way. Clones were crowded around them as far as the eye could see. Naruto had in almost no time at all succeeded in covering the entire battle ground with his clones. It was a long and gruelling process but finally Naruto's seemingly never ending energy was fading. The constant rasengans were a key part of the whole process. Each one at this point turned Naruto into a sweaty, panting mess. He had never made so many clones and rasengans in all his life. He didn't think it was going to be this tiring. Little was said between the two during this whole ordeal.
Naruto was too focused on draining all of his chakra to have a conversation and Sasuke didn't want to distract the blonde and make him lose his concentration by talking to him. He didn't like the way that Naruto's face became more and more pained as he summoned more clones. It was particularly hard to watch his lover in pain after knowing how much pain he himself had put him through already. This seemed to be their last option and since Naruto showed no signs of stopping Sasuke just had to suck it up and hope for the best. Eventually the clones started crowding around the Uchiha and he, not being a crowd person, attacked a few of them and watched triumphantly as they disappeared in a puff of smoke. It was almost ridicules how many clones the blonde could produce.
Sasuke had never seen this many Naruto's in his entire life. It was very strange to him. The idea of having to deal with thousands of Naruto's was absolutely horrifying to him... I mean he loved him... but not that much... After karate kicking a few more clones out of his face Sasuke turned to Naruto who was a safe distance away from him, and shouted out to him. "How's it coming Dobe?!" Naruto finished off the rasengan he was currently making before facing Sasuke as well. He sucked in a few deep breaths of air before shouting back. "I... I think It's almost gone... I'm... I'm really slow... slowing down!" Seeing as he could barely get the words out of his mouth made Sasuke believe that statement without any doubts. "Are you okay?!"
Even in his state of exhaustion Naruto managed a small smirk before booting up another rasengan. "Beside's wanting to pass out of the ground and never wake up? Yeah, I'm fine!" Sasuke glared at him as he sent his rasengan flying over the battlefield. It seemed each one was moving slightly closer to the Uchiha... He didn't know if it was an accident or if he was doing it on purpose. He decided to give the blonde the benefit of the doubt and dub it as an accident. Naruto raised his hands once more and formed the sign for a clone summoning but half way through the jutsu he started to feel extremely light-headed. He managed to push through the fatigue and summon the clones but as soon as he did his vision blurred as he lost his balance. He crashed to the ground with a loud grunt and groaned as his body came in contact with the rocky ground.
He managed to peel his eye's open just in time to see Sasuke hurrying over to his side. "Hey! Are you alright?!" Sasuke quickly cradled the dazed blonde in his arms and helped him up into a sitting position. Naruto's head sort of swayed from side to side before he managed to look up at his boyfriend. "Yeah... 'm fine... The ground just started to... move, I think..." Sasuke sighed quietly as he brushed a stray piece of blond hair behind Naruto's ear. "I think you've reached your limit." He said softly. Naruto frowned as Sasuke's face began to fuzz out of focus. He slowly closed his eye's hoping they would find time to re adjust before he opened them again. "What now...?" Sasuke re adjusted the two of them so that Naruto was laying his head on Sasuke's lap while the Uchiha rubbed his hand through his hair softly.
He was never good at comforting people but he knew Naruto appreciated it when he tried. He came up with the best response he could. "We wait I suppose..." As they sat there waiting, absolute chaos was going on around them. Not only was there still the war going on around them, but now there were also thousands of Naruto's racing around like chickens with their heads cut off. Their constant bickering and arguments about which ramen flavour was better was starting to give Naruto a killer head ache. He groaned as a particular group of Naruto's started shouting at one another. "Is that really what I sound like all the time?" He asked slightly curious. Sasuke smiled a little as he looked down at him. He still hadn't opened his eyes yet. "Yeah, pretty much."
"Huh... No wonder people think I'm annoying..." Sasuke snorted a little as Naruto finally opened one of his eyes and stared up at him, frowning. "Even I think that I'm annoying... There's no hope for me is there? I'm just a lost cose." Sasuke's eye softened a little as he stared down at the blonde. He knew his boyfriend was just tired and probably didn't even know what he was saying, but he didn't like it when he talked like that. If Naruto wasn't the optimistic one in the relationship then that means Sasuke would have to be... And we all know that's not going to happen... He smiled before saying. "I like your annoyingness." Naruto narrowed his opened eye suspiciously causing Sasuke to laugh. "Okay, so maybe I don't like it, but life wouldn't be normal without it." Very slowly a grin made its way onto Naruto's face. Sasuke raised his eye brow questionably, his own smile still in place. "What?"
"You are so in love with me." The Uchiha rolled his eyes playfully and looked away as the blonde continued to grin up at him. "So you think." He mumbled. A moment passed before Sasuke slowly looked back down at Naruto. His grin had disappeared and left in its place was a very sad smile, something that Sasuke wasn't used to seeing on his lovers face. "I'm sorry I got you into this..." He said in a depressed tone of voice. Sasuke quickly leaned down and cut him off with a short kiss before he could continue his I'm sorry speech. When he pulled back Naruto was still looking guilty. "Don't start that again. You've already apologized."
"Yeah, but it wasn't enough-"
"It was enough." Naruto pouted for a minute as he stared up at his lover. He didn't understand why Sasuke wouldn't let him apologize, wasn't he still mad at him? There was no guarantee that their plan was going to work. Maybe the only way to stop it really was to get rid of all of his chakra and that would kill him. He prayed that it wouldn't come to that, but with each passing second he became more and more nervous. Naruto gathered up the last bit of his strength and managed to open his other eye. He tiredly rose up his hand and cupped the Uchiha's cheek gently. Sasuke met his eyes as the blonde rubbed his cheek affectionately. "Kiss me." Naruto demanded softly. Sasuke blinked once before leaning down and pressing his lips against the blonde's.
Everything around them seemed to fade into the back round as their lips slowly moved together as one. A far as they were concerned, in that moment they were the only two people in the world. If this really was their end, then at least they would have each other to experience it with. And for them, that was enough. They became completely lost in each other as the seconds passed. It was almost as if they were fading into each other and leaving everything else behind. Their hands began to shake as they held each other and their breathing had picked up considerably fast. Suddenly a bolt of pain, almost light an electric shock, shot through their entire bodies and the next thing they knew everything was black...
Naruto couldn't breathe, and it wasn't just because he was pretty sure Sasuke was lying on top of him, he felt like he had run head on into a brick wall at incredible speeds. Every inch of his body ached with unimaginable pain. Somehow the wind had been completely knocked out of him and his head felt as if it had been split in two. He managed to peel his eye's open, with great difficulty, but quickly shut them again as a blinding yellow light invaded his vision. Naruto groaned as he felt Sasuke shift slightly on his chest. The slightest movement caused him pain as if his entire body was covered in bruises. Sasuke let out a painful wince as he opened his eyes then also closed them in a hurry.
"Naruto...?" Sasuke whispered as he lifted a hand and ran it over the blonde's chest curiously. He needed to make sure that Naruto was actually there with him even though it absolutely hurt like hell to move like that. He internally sighed with relief as his hand brushed over that familiar broad chest and strong arms. It was definitely Naruto. The next order of business was figuring out what had happened. Naruto could tell that whatever he was laying on was much smoother than the rocky ground of the battlefield from before. That was a good sign, right? They could hear the sounds of birds quietly chirping in the distance and the sound of people happily chatting away.
As Naruto's body started to heat up he realized that the blinding yellow light from before had been the sun shinning down on him. Neither of them had opened their eyes yet. They were so scared of what they might see. Thankfully the intense pain in their bodies was starting to slowly fade away allowing them to move around a little bit. After working up his nerve, Naruto was the first to open his eye's and the first thing he saw was the bright blue sky above them. He slowly took in their surroundings and came to the realization that they were in an ally way. The same ally way he had activated the jutsu in. "Sasuke..." Naruto whispered down to his silent boyfriend. Sasuke buried his face further into Naruto's chest in response as tears pricked at his eyes.
'Just say it!' He thought angrily. 'It didn't work!' Naruto slowly lifted up his arm and placed it on his boyfriend's shoulder. Instead of shaking him, or, you know, just asking him to move, Naruto shoved the Uchiha off his chest then moved into a sitting position. Sasuke gasped out of surprise as his face came in contact with the dusty ground. He then opened his eye's, ignoring the slight stinging from the sun, and quickly pulled himself up so he could glare at the blonde. "What the fuck Naruto?!"Naruto stared at him for a second before slowly looking back to the endless sky above. "Look where we are..." He whispered as the dazzling sun reflected in his eyes. Sasuke did as he was told and began to survey the area.
When he realized where they were a quick glimmer of excitement raced through his entire body. "A-are we-" He stuttered. "Are we back?" Naruto glanced over at Sasuke then crinkled up his eye brows in thought. "Maybe..." He answered cautiously, almost as if he was afraid that if he said they were back that everything would just disappear around them like some sick joke. This was definitely their village, and this was definitely the ally way that started all of this, but there was one crucial part that seemed to be missing from this area. The scroll. Naruto jolted out of his sitting position and quickly stood up. Sasuke watched confused as Naruto started scouring the area like a mad man. "What are you doing?"
"Help me find it!"
"Find what?" Sasuke asked as he slowly made his way up into a standing position. "The scroll!" Realization crossed Sasuke's face and he quickly joined the blonde in his search. Not long after Sasuke spotted the scroll lying in a dark corner behind an old trash can. He quickly grabbed it then hurried over to his boyfriend's side. "I found it!" He shouted excitedly. Naruto snatched the scroll out of his hand and examined it quickly. He had to make sure it was the same one he had used. It was in fact the same scroll that had started all of this. Naruto stared over at Sasuke with wide eyes and Sasuke stared right back, his own eyes as wide as dinner plates. Without a word the two took off sprinting down the long ally way and out into the busy streets of Konoha.
A few of the towns people looked in their general direction but it wasn't enough to satisfy the men. Naruto frantically looked up and down the street then stopped when he noticed a familiar face a few feet away. Wthout a second thought he took off running down the street and tackled the young teen to the ground. Naruto had never been so happy to be crushing someone in his entire life. Konohamaru on the other hand didn't find it so exciting. "What the hell?!" The brunette shouted as he roughly pushed the laughing blonde off of his back. "Why would you do that!?" He shouted angrily. Naruto just continued to laugh as he picked up the brunette and spun him around in a circle. "You can see me!" Naruto cheered enthusiastically. By now more than half the people on the street were staring at the two of them causing Konahamaru's cheek's to light up in embarrassment.
"Put me down baka! People are staring!" Naruto just couldn't stop smiling. He was so happy he felt as if he was going to die. People could see them! They were back! His idea had worked! No one would ever be allowed to call him stupid again! Why? Because he had figured it out! Not Sasuke! He would gloat later, right now he just wanted to celebrate with who ever was available. Naruto spun the annoyed brunette around a few more times before he heard Sasuke shout out to him. "You did it!" Naruto had just enough time to drop the brunette in his arms before Sasuke practically jumped in his grasp. "You did it Naruto! We're back!" The Uchiha shouted happily over the blonde's shoulder. Konohamaru watched as the two men acted like two school girls, jumping and shouting excitedly.
He had decided he was just going to observe their peculiar behaviour but he drew the line when they started making out right in the middle of the street. "What the heck is wrong with you two!?" He shouted extra loud so he would have their attention. The men pulled apart quickly then turned to the younger boy. "Nothing! Nothing at all! Absolutely nothing is wrong!" Konohamaru took a step back as Naruto's enthusiasm returned full force. He was also a little creeped out by the fact that Sasuke was grinning, not smiling, but grinning at him. 'These guys must be drunk or something...' The brunette thought tiredly. Sasuke decided they had spent enough time standing in the street and reached for the blonde's hand. "Let's go home." Sasuke began tugging on Naruto and eventually the blonde gave in and followed him.
However, after a few steps, Naruto broke out of Sasuke's hold and jogged back to Konohamaru. Sasuke waited impatiently. Konohamaru watched curiously as Naruto ran right up to him and grabbed his head. The next thing he knew the blonde was planting a big, over dramatic and down right gross kiss right on his forehead. Naruto pulled back and grinned at the stunned teen. "God I love you kid!" And without another word he turned around and hurried back to Sasuke then grabbed his awaiting hand. The two took off down the street running at full speed. Konohamaru watched, still in a state of shock, until they were completely out of sight. He slowly raised his hand up to his forehead then froze when his hand ran through something wet and slimy... "Ewww! Naruto I'll kill you!"
Laura: "OUR BOYS ARE HOME! Their horrible yet life changing experience is finally over! I am happy for them :S but I'm also sad... because the next chapter will be the last :/"
Naruto: "Let's not go there... I really liked this chapter, there were a lot of cute moments XD"
Sasuke: "What the hell was that whole thing about my grin being creepy?!"
Laura: "People who tend to show no emotions what so ever look creepy when they do. It's just a fact."
Sasuke: "I show emotion all the time! Like right now! I'M ANGRY!"
Naruto: "Please boys and girls... lets keep it friendly, neh?"
Laura: "I was never unfriendly, Sasuke is too sensitive."
Sasuke: "Ohhh you're SO asking for it..."
Naruto: "Alrighty everyone I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'd really appreciate it if you could leave a review telling us what you think. Are you sad its ending? Because I am :/"
Laura: "Thanks for reading! And Sasuke if you're mean in the last chapter I'll decapitate you!"
Sasuke: "Just try it bitch!"
Naruto: "See... this is what I have to deal with."
