Chapter 9: Denial

"Naruto?!" Sasuke called for Naruto but received no answer. He was starting to worry, he knew that Naruto would take this to heart, how could he not? Sasuke knew was all his fault. He knew Sakura was up to something and didn't have enough sense to warn Naruto. But Naruto wouldn't have believed him anyway, he liked Sakura so much...it would seem like bitter jealousy if he told Naruto. It had started out that way but...now it was just to protect him. Oh well, that plan went down the drain. Sasuke was only hoping that Naruto didn't go too far with her.

"Oh gawd, what if he slept with her?"

Sasuke's stomach lurched. "No, no possible way. Naruto wouldn't do that." Sasuke paused, he'd completely lost track of the boy and he was already near his house. Maybe Naruto had gone there.

"Why would he go to my house?" Sasuke didn't care, he ran up to his door and jiggled it.

"It's still locked. Damn it where is he?" then he heard a whistle of wind. He looked to the right and spotted an open window.

"He is here..." Sasuke jumped through the window and scanned the room. It was pitch black, he tried to feel for the light switch but couldn't find it.

"Naruto?" he peered into the black room and shivered. This place didn't feel like a home at all. It was cold and eerie. He saw a light switch on upstairs and ran towards it. Anything to get him out of this darkness. He looked down the hall and saw light creeping out of the bottom of his bedroom door. It was either Naruto or some kind of crazy burglar. Either way he thought he'd make a dramatic entrance. He slowly crept towards the door and grasped the door knob twisting it slowly and then shoving it open.

"Naruto!?" Sasuke saw Naruto in the corner of his room with his knees up to his chin.

"What are you doing in here?" Naruto hid his face from Sasuke and tried to silence his crying.

"I-I ((hiccup)) I'm ok Sas-Sasuke." He looked up at Sasuke with red eyes, tears pouring down his face.

"I'm so sorry Naruto, this is all my fault." Sasuke got on the ground and crawled over to Naruto. The last thing he wanted to do was approach him wrong, especially when he was this vulnerable.

"N-no Sasuke don't, please don't blame yourself. How could you have known? I, I was just being stupid...thinking that Sakura could actually like me. I'm not you...I'm never gonna be good enough for anybody."

"Stop it! That's not true! Who cares if you're not me!? What does that have to do with anything? She's just a stupid girl!"

"Don't worry about it Sasuke..." Naruto was beginning to come to. He moved his legs under him so he was sitting on his knees. He wiped his face with his t-shirt. Sasuke saw the large stains that were already there.

"He's been crying a lot..."

Naruto ran his fingers through is hair and coughed. He choked and cleared his throat.

"Gawd, I'm such a wreck. Crying like some little girl." Sasuke tilted his head down, he couldn't look at Naruto. The boy had the right to hate him, Sakura had been comparing Naruto to himself all this time.

"She probably even imagined that it was me kissing her and not Naruto." Sasuke shuddered at the thought. This girl was messed up and because of it she'd broken Naruto's heart. He'd never forgive her.

"Sasuke please, stop blaming yourself I'm not angry at you...none of this even has to do with you."

"Yes it does! She was going out with you to get back at me! How can you say that's not my fault! She crushed you! BECAUSE OF ME! Y-YOU TRUSTED HER! AND SHE TORE YOUR HEART IN TWO!" Sasuke slammed his fist into the floor. The pain didn't seem to register. He shook as the tears poured from his eyes. He punched the floor again and again until blood leaked from his palm and knuckles.

"It's my fault! It's my fault!" Sasuke's felt Naruto's hand wrap around his own.

"Don't hurt yourself over my mistake." Naruto brought the boys hand to his face and kissed it. The pain flew away with every kiss.

"I don't blame you at all." Naruto's eyes filled with tears again he fell on Sasuke clinging to him as he sobbed.

"But why? What's wrong with me? A-am I not good enough? What does it take?!" The blonde cried harder. Sasuke picked him up and laid him in the bed. He got in with Naruto and held him close, the smaller boy cried a little while longer and soon fell asleep. He smoothed Naruto's hair and thought to himself. Naruto had to be in denial. Some part of him had to resent Sasuke for living. He knew it...And he couldn't fix it, and that tore him apart until he too fell asleep crying.

((cries))Another sad chapter...WAH! I'm sorry this one was very very short. I should have just intermingled the two but i felt that it would be better if Sakura had her own dramatic ending. I love the end of Chapter 8. I'm inlove with that chapter actually even though it's a tear jerker i was tearing when i wrote it. LOL well, i will be updating very shortly because this one was alittle teeny tiny one so don't worry!

And again thank you all for your support! All those Sakura haters...aw man you guys rule. All of you're reviews were so colorful hahahaha! Don't worry Kyuubi-kun i will make it MUCH better for Naruto. BUWHAHAHAHAHA And yes Izumi you are loved! LOL i love to respond you guys.

Oh, and another thing. Just for a warning JUST SO EVERYBODY KNOWS and i don't get hit by for this. The next chapters coming up will be very yaoi-ish hahaha. So...if any of you aren't into that which i think all are by your reviews...BUT IF UR NOT! I've already given you a warning and i will post the ratings so WEEEE! There we go.

Alright everybody...i must go...i have Anatomy homework...((Sigh)) I actually like that subject though! Ooh! Ooh! Today in Anatomy we disected RATS!!! O NO "YUKI"!!!! HAHAHA (fruits Basket.) Yet another anime i absolutley adore!
