Disclaimer: I wish I owned Naruto, but sadly I don't.
"I'm pretty sure the feeling I have for you is love. I constantly think of you when you're gone. If you're okay, if you're safe and when will I see you again. I imagine my life with you. Hell, even when I'm at the market, I buy ramen just in case you ever come over just to eat. I've asked Sakura how she knew she loved Lee. Her symptoms for Lee are just what I feel for you. Naruto, you're always on my mind. You're my Sun that brightens my day whenever I'm around you. I'm dark and you are light. Not to offend you, but you are my complete opposite. I really don't know, but you sort of complete me. You know what I'm thinking and how I feel behind my mask. You are the only one who sees me. The REAL me. You can show and feel the emotions I cannot, well, except for one. The one I feel for you. The one I'm absolutely sure of. I give you my heart. You can love it or break it. Just know I love you. So today, on top of this empty space on the Hokage monument, I'm asking to be a part of your future. For I know that with your heart and determination you will achieve your goal and dream of being the greatest Hokage and your face will be carved here, on where we stand right now. Naruto, if you haven't guessed by now," he stopped to reach in his pocket and pulled out a simple gold band and got on one knee.
"I'm asking you to marry me," he finished.
Naruto was speechless.
"Say yes!" his mind screamed.
"Kit. Say yes!"
But Naruto couldn't say it. He just had his mouth open, eyes wide and started shaking his head yes. He felt the ring slide on his finger and himself get pulled into an embrace and a passionate kiss.
"Kit, you're an idiot. At least you shook your head."
They pulled away after good three minutes.
"I love you, Naruto."
"I love you, too--" but was cut off when everything turned black.
He found himself in the pen he's been in for the past week. The door opened to reveal a gray haired man.
"Orochimaru wants you now," said Kabuto, the snake man's assistant.
Naruto had no choice but to accept his "master's" orders. He needed to survive through this. He just had to keep his promises.
He got up and followed Kabuto to Orochimaru's chambers. He took out the gold ring that hung around his neck on a chain and held it tight.
"I hope you know I still love you, Sai." He whispered once he got to the doors of the snake bastard.
He put his necklace away and entered the door.
Inside my Head
There's a point to this. It really is going to be a SasuNaru, but I have to put this in. Anyways, the next chapter will be up at around 5 o'clock. Until then, Chemo!
