Disclaimer: Yet again must I remind the fans of Naruto I am just a starving writer that has nothing better to do on her spare time than to write stories on her current obsessions. Naruto and Sasuke... * drools*

The next day Naruto was out running erands with a huge list because of his money problem with

the tailor. He cursed under his breath of how long the list was but mentioned nothing to the man. In the

market he ran through each isle takeing up what he could find for the list and shoved them in a basket to be

paid for. After returning all the iteams hours later the man praised him and let him off easy just because he

was a kid. Naruto was back in his black tank and oarnge pants now. All of a sudden Kakashi stepped out in

front of him on the way back to his hut. " Ack!" Naruto squilled in suprise. " Whe're leaving now if your

done." He said and patted Naruto's head as if he where a toddler. Naruto had the look of hatred on his face

at that moment. But then he saw Sasuke and Sakura behind his sensei. " Ah! So soon?" Naruto asked

forggeting the pat on the head. Kakashi staired at Naruto. " Oh damn right!" Naruto said convinced he

wouldnt be getting his way anytime soon. Makeing their way through the now melting snow horizon the

only thing on Naruto's mind was Sasuke. Naruto just staired at Sasuke from the back as if there where

nothing else around him. Sakura came close to Naruto and poked his face. " Yes?" he asked in a dream stait.

" Youre stairing at Sasuke." Sakura said in a protective way. " What?" Naruto asked as if he didnt know

what she was talking about. Sasuke turned around hearing their conversation but after taking in a glance

quickly turned back around facing Kakashi's back. Moments later the group stopped to set up camp. " Here

we are!" Kakashi exclaimed. "Where?" Naruto asked. " The perfect spot to train of course!" Kakashi said in

utter bliss. " What?!" Naruto exclaimed. " You drag us all the way from the Hidden Leaf just to find

ourselves at another stupid forest area?!" Naruto pouted. " The reason this place is so special dobe, is

because it contains everything you would train with in this forest. Like rivers, Mountians, snow, and hot

springs. You see, everything intertwins here." Sasuke let out his explanation and when finished smirked.

Naruto grew angrier each second but remembered what Sasuke had told him. " You look cute when your

mad." and began to grow hot as a blush spread across his face. Sasuke knew he had just mad a mistake

trying to show off just to make Naruto mad. Naruto pretended that he tripped on a rock but actually ended

up really tripping and falling face flat. They all staired at the ninja that was now down. " You all right?"

Naruto heard the words come out and lifted his face up to see the speaker. To his disapointment it was

Kakashi. " Feh!" Naruto said and quickly turned around crosse legged angirly with a red mark on his face

that indicated the collisian with the ground. It was a nice plan though, to take the blush off his face. Later

that night they all had slipped into their sleeping bags. Naruto was spraled out barely coverd by the blanket

and his shirt had rided up to where his stomach was showing. He turned over and then once again another

time. It was usless he wasnt going to get any sleep any time soon. It was as if he where a nocturnal creature

trying to stay awake during the day. " Oh Gads!" Naruto sad quietly giving up on the thought of sleep. "

Then what can I do to pass the time?" Naruto thought to himself in dispare. " Ah! Sasuke said there where

all kinds of places in this forest where I could train! And when that bastard wakes up he'll be the dead last

one!" Naruto thought slyly. He began to uncontrolably snigger through his cupped hands. He got up

quietly making sure not to wake the three. As he had succesfully managed to get up and was walking in one

of the opposite directions he looked down at Sasuke's bag. His eyes narrowed at the small strands of black

hair that shimmered silver as the moon light bounced off of the strands. Sasuke's face , however, was well

hidden underneath the blanket. Naruto had the strange urge to uncover him just to see what he looked like

asleep but fought that urge and quickly ran off. As soon as Naruto had left Sasuke's coveres had slid down

to his feet so he could get up. Sasuke had heard Naruto's foot steps stop in front of him and when they had

left. " what is he up to." Sasuke thought and quickly got up. Meanwhile Naruto had no idea where he was

and had forgotten to mark his path. " Ah damn! Im lost and hav'nt even seen one thing that Sasuke said was

here!" Naruto pouted aloud. Naruto began to turn around when he noticed a thick mist ahead. " Could it

be...?" Naruto than began to run towards it and as it came more into view he saw a huge hot spring that

seemed to have stretched for miles beyond. " Alright!" Naruto preclaimed. " Now I know im at least getting

somewhere! I can train in the springs for now." He announced and raced strait into the water. The water

stung his skin it was so hot as he moved silently through the dark ripples. " Its much hotter than a regular

spring." Naruto said to himself wincing. " He than began to feel a strange sensation of where he kept

closing his eyes than re-opening them. " Dammit..." Naruto said yawning. " Can't sleep now I just got

here!" he told himself outraged. Suddenly the world grew black and all Naruto could do was hear voices thst

echoed in his head. " Do you want what I have for you?" the voice told him in a kind soothing voice. He

could'nt understand why he felt so excited at the strangers offer but was in a hurry to reply. " Yes! Yes!

Please give it to me!" he quickly said. " Not now." the voice said calmly. " What?!" Naruto wailed as if he

where a 5 year old wanting a toy and his mother had told him no. " Why not now?" He pouted stomping his

foot. The voice only let out a small laugh. " Dont worry. You will be reborn soon enough." The voice told

him and like that the world came into view again. Only it was a blurr to him and aparantly he was'nt standing

anymore. In fact he was on shore now lying on the ground feeling quit dizzy. Sasuke looked up from across

Naruto as he heard the blonde stirring. " You idiot! You think you can take off in the dead of night to train

by your self?! You're so stupid! You nearly drowned yourself! What would have happened if you died

because of your self eh?!" Sasuke went on in an outrage. " Idiot! Dont ever do that again!" Sasuke shouted

then let an awkward silence fill the air. Naruto had no thought on the matter before and now that he had he

saw how Sasuke had went balistik over the fact that he could have died. " Ah shut the hell up!" Naruto said

groggly rubbing his hurting head. " I was'nt ready for a full out asault just then." He moaned. Sasuke only

raised his eyes just for a moment to glair at Naruto for such stupidity. Naruto staired at Sasuke hoplessly

trying to find a way to apalpgize without actually sounding sorry. But the truth was... he was sorry. He was

sorry for hurting Sasuke at the festival and he was sorry for making him worry. Naruto began to start

uncontrolably blinking and a sort of hurt filled his chest as he tried to keep it there. " Dont... You cant! Not

in front of this jerk!" He could not help it though he could feel himself start to blink up tiny water droplets.

Sasuke looked up fron his invisable intrest that lay on the ground and looked at Naruto. His face softened

as he saw the heart breaking expresion on Naruto's face. " Naruto... I did'nt mean to..." Sasuke stopped

when Naruto tryed to retort that he was'nt upset but when he did the word cracked up and instead a soft

wail came out as he burried his head in his hands and tears came streaming out onto his already damp arm

from the incedent. " Stop crying!" He thought feroucisly as the crystal like droplets kept pouring out.

Sasuke watched as Naruto sniffled on his arm, how his body trembeled, and how he kept choking each time

he tried to swollow. " I sorry!" Came the broken up scentence that Naruto forced out. " Im so sorry!" He let

out again this time clearer than the last sentence. Sasuke's atention grew. " Are you crying because you feel

pitty for me? Because you dont feel the same way as I do?" Sasuke asked sounding a bit cruel as he did not

intend to sound. " Its because of me!" Naruto shouted. " Because I was the one to lie! I was the one who

made you worry!" Naruto shouted stressed out. Sasuke looked utterly confused. " Lie?" he asked. " It was

all a lie! That I loved Sakura and also that I could'nt return your feelings!" Naruto screamed more loudly that

Sasuke winced. " Then... you...?" Sasuke trailed off. " love me?" Naruto finished with traces of tears still left

in his eyes. The mere words that Naruto had just said seemed to be his answer to the question. Sasuke

wanted nothing but to embrace his love. But he found himself aroused by a powerful dark chakra that

seemed to be embracing the same person he wanted to embrace. " Do you want it?" The voice asked in

Naruto's head. " Yes." He found himself saying. Naruto's blue eyes began to fade as they began to show

now as an eluminating black. His bright skin changed into a light pale color, his hair ,in a moments notice,

was black and he was now in black clothing as well. The most thing that seemed to burn in Sasuke's mind

was the way Naruto's inocence seemed vanquished. " There is no love in my heart." The dark Naruto said

plainly. " Death is all that matters." He said watching Sasuke intent. Sasuke felt the fear rise as never before.

" Why did you leave?' Sasuke asked in a low voice.
