Ch. 8 The jokers laughing at us.

Sasuke walked in. Naruto's head was still faced to the window, which was the opposite to the door. Naruto was tired, his head still had a piercing pain as well as he heard bells ringing.

"How are you Sasuke?" Naruto asked, his face still faced to the window, the gentle wind brushing his face, the tear trails were starting to dry but his eyes were swollen, his eyes were closed. The corner of his lips curved upwards.

"You're still going to tolerate me after today?" Sasuke asked, in his stoic voice.

"Did you really mean to kill me?" Naruto asked as he still laid still enjoying the breeze. There was silence.

"No" he replied, Naruto's lips curved more higher.

"Good, I didn't think so... I mean we are best friends right?" he said as he turned his head and opened his eyes to Sasuke, "right?"

' God Naruto... not your eyes please...' Sasuke was looking into a sadness of the sky, light sky-blue that pleaded for an answer. But before Sasuke could start on his speech, Naruto started talking.

"I was really... scared when you started to attack me... I felt that I could kill myself...but I have to be strong, because I cant lose to myself... right?" he said to him, as he put on a fake smile, Sasuke didn't have anything to say to him, so Naruto kept going right on.

"When I left I asked you... if you'd be mad at me... do you remember?" Sasuke nodded Naruto now sat up on his bed. Then he continued, "well I remember you never answered back..." a sudden chill like a bad omen came to Sasuke, " I left that night on a bad start... so Sasuke... lets do both of us favors..." Sasuke now felt sudden fear.

"Sasuke... lets pretend that we don't know each other..." Sasuke was shocked, his head was he saw Naruto's head tilled down and turning away from his eyes.

"N-N-NARUTO! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU JUST SAID RIGHT NOW?!" Sasuke yelled in fear and anger.

Naruto stood up but it was hard for him, his knees were wobbly but he didn't show it, and he pulled the I.V out of his arm. Blood was dripping out but just a little bit and as usual steam came out of the wound and healed it. He walked up half way up to Sasuke, it was hard, and mind you it wasn't easy for him. Then as he got up to a yard away from Sasuke he kneeled to Sasuke.

"I beg you... Sasuke I am on my knees, I am begging for mercy." Naruto now had tears running down on his face.

"Why are you saying this?"

"SASUKE...PLEASE!" Sasuke kneeled down to Naruto's level and grabbed his shoulders and gripped him and shocks him.

"WHY NARUTO WHY NOW? I'VE WAITED FOR YOU AND I HAVE TORMENTED MYSELF FOR GUILT AND YOU COME BACK! WHY? WHY ALL THE SUDDEN? I WANT TO KNOW THERE MUST BE A REASON!!!"

"Sasuke... it hurts..." Naruto said wincing at Sasuke's firm grip.

"I WANT TO KNOW DID YOU FIND SOMEONE ELES ON YOU TRIP? A NICE GIRL PERHAPES! DID YOU LAUGH NARUTO WHEN YOU WITH THAT GIRL? LAUGH HOW HURT I WOULD BE WHEN I FOUND OUT? IS THAT IT? YOU WANTED TO GET EVEN WITH ME?"

"Sasuke you're...your hurting me..." Naruto said but Sasuke kept going on.

"THE TIMES I HURT YOU DID YOU WANT TO HURT ME BACK? WHY NARUTO WHY? I AM ASKING WHY! TELL ME WH-!"

"SASUKE YOU'RE HURTING ME!!!" Naruto shouted at him, Sasuke let go of him, and saw him tremble. "Please Sasuke." Naruto said as he held him self and rocked back and forth. Naruto looked up at him directly up into his red eyes.

"ONEGAI!"

Sasuke had nothing more to say. He left him crying the in middle of the room rocking back and forth. After leaving the room, Sasuke leaned against the door. The light had hurt his eyes; it was dark in there. But those weren't the reason he was crying, he graphed his heart, then he fell to the floor, still leaning on the door.

"You talked to him?" it was Sakura he didn't even noticed her coming he didn't even noticed that he'd been just sitting there for five minuets. She crouched down to his level.

"Maybe I should visit him tomorrow." Sakura said thoughtfully, as Sasuke looked up at her with red eyes, Sakura smiled at him.

"I'll buy you a drink." She said simply.

-=-=-= it had been about an hour since Naruto talked to Sasuke.

"Naruto-san... may I come in?" a voice said. "Sure... why not... come in Kasuma." Naruto said hoarsely. "I see you spoke to Uchiha-San." "Yes... and I've been wanting to talk to you." Naruto said, as he faced her and she drew near.

"What did you tell him earlier today morning?" "Nothing much... only something you couldn't tell him... are you mad?" Silence... "No... I am happier..." "How so?" she asked as she walked towards the window and leaned on the fame of the windowsill. "Cause I am dieing and that is fact... I died when I left here... and now I am back, but this place is so innocent... I can't keep up with the happiness and the peace anymore. I really need to do something."

"Why don't you join the ANBU force... as a high assassin?" "I have a feeling... that it wont be enough... that's how much I changed... I hate it here... I thought I'd like it if I was separated but it's still the same."

"Are you suicidal?" she asked him in amusement.

"Maybe" he said and chuckled a bit. "Well then I have only one thing to say to you." She said as she walked toward the door, and held the knob, then she looked into Naruto's eyes, her eyes weren't black anymore, but yellow, sharp yellow, with a circle around the pupil and onto the circle, there were two comma's as if it was Shirangan, but only two and yellow.

"Don't forget your promise to all of us..." then with that she left, leaving the door open only enough so that a thin ray came out.
