Fading Light
Chapter 6: Confrontation
A/N: Look for review replies at the end of the chapter!
They both glowered at each other at the door. When they were young, they always did glare at each other with distaste, but this was different. Sasuke looked at Naruto with complete hatred, but also with anxiety… anxiety for something that was definitely not good.
Naruto stopped glaring and began staring at Sasuke for a moment.
"Well, you don't look sick, or hurt…" Naruto muttered loudly.
Sasuke continued the cold look.
"Since when were you gay?" Sasuke said with a tone with no hint of humor.
"Haha, very funny. Hey, how come you haven't visited Sakura lately?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke didn't say anything.
"Did you get a few screws knocked loose or something? I asked about Sakura? You know? Sakura with the pink hair and green eyes," Naruto remarked.
"I have no idea of what you're talking about," Sasuke began, his fingers moved to the holster on his thigh.
Naruto felt something in his gut that something was going to happen.
Sasuke threw a shuriken at Naruto. Naruto soon realizing this quickly jumped to the side.
"I missed." Sasuke scoffed.
"What the hell are you doing you ass?!" Naruto shouted.
"Simple. I'm going to kill you." Sasuke replied in monotone.
He raised his hand and formed it into a fist. White-yellow electricity began to crackle in Sasuke's hand. Sasuke raised his fist. Naruto moved quickly before Sasuke's fist collided with the ground.
"What is going on? What happened to you?" Naruto retorted.
"Nothing. I just became stronger." Sasuke replied.
He formed his hand into another fist and began to form chidori in his fist.
"Sasuke! Can't we do this later? Sakura is in pain! She's going to die if you don't come!" Naruto snapped.
Sasuke sneered.
"Then let her die." Sasuke said.
Naruto's eyes widened. "What?"
"You heard me. Let her die. If she can't live, then it's not my problem," Sasuke said, watching as Naruto began to tremble in anger, "Only the strong deserve to live. The weak will only be devoured by the strong. Sakura is nothing. I don't contain any emotion."
"What are you talking about?! You went and looked everywhere for her! You were willing to sacrifice your life for her! You confessed to her! She always loved you and then confessed to you, and you're just dropping it like it's nothing?!" Naruto said with his voice rising on every word.
"It was never anything in the first place. She's Itachi's whore now." Sasuke stated coldly.
Naruto snapped.
"All that matters, is that I have a rematch with you. Here and now." Sasuke said with the flames of the chidori dancing around Sasuke's hands.
Naruto looked at Sasuke for pure dislike. A round orb formed in Naruto's fist. It began to swirl around and around.
"You're on."
(Scene Change)
Blood flowed every which way. Screams could be heard in the air, along with the sobbing of children and mothers. People tried to run away from a tall figure. But it came at them and killed then all. There was no mercy.
The figure slashed a child and his mother. People ran, but the figure killed then all one by one.
Sakura began to run and tried to protect the young girl.
"STOP!" Sakura hollered.
The figure slashed the little girl. Sakura threw a shuriken, but it went right through the tall figure.
What the hell! A ghost?
The figure didn't seem to notice Sakura.
The figure disappeared. Sakura had no idea where the figure went neither. Suddenly, a little boy appeared to the massacre scene.
He resembledSasuke… In fact he looked like a mini Sasuke. The little boy looked in horror. Blood was smudged everywhere; body parts and bodies where spilling. Tears threatened to spill in the eyes of a little boy.
Sakura walked up and tried to embrace the boy, but she went right through him.
Am I a ghost?! What's going on? Why does he look like Sasuke? Who was that figure in the cape and why did he kill everyone? And most of all… Sakura looked around at the people who were slaughtered, Why do these people have the Uchiha logo?
The little boy began to run Sakura followed after him. The little boy stopped in front of a house. When he was about to open the door a voice called out.
"Sasuke! Don't go in!"
Sasuke? What is this? What is going on?
It sounded like there was a battle going on inside. Things were crashing. The little boy waited. Suddenly, the noise stopped. The little boy opened the door. He took a few steps and stopped. Two bodies were on top of each other. A man and a woman, and judging at the boy's appearances, they seemed to be his parents. Sakura looked up and gasped. The dark figure was there. He took off his mask.
It was Itachi.
The Uchiha massacre! It's a memory, but why am here?
Suddenly, everything fast-forwarded for a minute. Sasuke launched an attack at Itachi. Itachi dodged and hit Sasuke. They continued talking. Then, it stopped and resumed normal speed.
"You must to kill…your closest friend."
(Scene Change)
Sakura awoke with a jerk. She panted heavily, trying to register what happened. Looking around the scenery, her hospital room. For white walls, a bed, few chairs, a table, vases filled with flowers.
Suddenly, the door opened. Kakashi appeared.
"Oh hello Sakura, feeling better?" he asked.
"Where's Naruto?" Sakura asked.
"He went to see Sasuke but…"
"You have to kill your…closest friend…"
"Oh damn." Sakura whispered.
Sakura moved off of her bed and stumbled for a moment. It was about a month since she'd walked.
"Sorry Kakashi, but I have to go!" Sakura said as she opened the window.
"Hold on! What are you-"
But it was too late. Sakura was out the window and heading for Sasuke's apartment.
(Scene Change)
Naruto panted heavily. Sasuke had him cornered with chidori in his hand. Chances of getting away were very slim, and Naruto didn't have much of an advantage.
Just when Sasuke was about to strike, Naruto blocked with Rasengan.
Damn, I losing too much chakra! At this rate… Naruto looked at Sasuke, who had the curse seal unleashed with chidori in his right hand. At this rate he's definitely going to kill me…

A/N OH! I am SOOOOOOO Sorry I haven't updated! I caught the flu. Does that help? And I wasn't home for awhile. I was at my parent's shop. Hehe, well here are reviewer's reply!
Durian: Aw, I love Naruto to! I want to hug him, he's just to damn adorable! So you had braces for two years!? Ugh, I have to have them for a two years an a half. Oh the pain! (sobs) Thanks for the suggestion, but I have something else in mind. Something positively evil…
sierra: Thanks for the compliment! (bashful) Yeah, I think sasu/saku make a great couple! It just seems most reasonable out of most pairings, and they are a cute couple!
Sweet Gurl: Aw! You really are sweet!
Thank you my lovely reviewers who bother to read this story! Hope to hear again soon (and update hem hem)! Well goodbye and hoped you enjoyed!
