Put me Out, Chapter 5
The most deadly fruit is borne by the hatred which one grafts on an extinguished friendship.
-Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
A beautiful storm of red was in his mind's eye as he lay there, shivering from the heat that was wrapped around him and the cold feelings that had begun to seep into his heart, ever since his eyes, full of confusion and dull feelings, had opened up to this ghost of a room, to the crooked sunlight that was cast over the bed.
The ever repeating mantra of "When, where, who, why, how? When, where, who, why, how?" was in his head again, and he couldn't answer them slowly, because the answers were floating in his head, and he'd have to dive into all the questions, think, and he didn't want to do that right now.
All he knew was the arms, pale and scar free and too bare for his liking, wrapped around him in a protective gesture, protective of something that didn't belong to him, would never ever belong to him.
But, didn't he belong to Sasuke now?
He dismissed that thought. No. He did not belong to Sasuke. He did not belong to anyone or anything, except his dreams.
His hair was matted down, due to the weight on top of his head and the stale sweat that had collected there, and pressure was applied to his back every 4 seconds (He had counted this for no particular reason, besides boredom and realization), and a thought flew into his head, a very sudden thought of a wish, because he was wishing now, that gravity did not exist.
If gravity did not exist, he could disappear, float into thin air and disappear, the only trace of him being of Ramen cups and sticky beds, abandoned dreams and other useless things.
Fear blossomed inside his heart as the chest ceased moving for a second, two seconds, three seconds, clenching his insides and squeezing out his blood to form a pretty little cup of crimson, a small cup for the sick minded. But the chest started moving again, and everything reversed until he was well again, except for the scars that existed on his sinful self, his mind and body and heart and blood and curse.
He himself took a deep breathe and his mind slowed down to the rate of the one breathing behind him, as if it was the raging sea, only being calmed by the wind. In a way, it was, he guessed, and hoped, because the questions were where the dangers lay, lying in wait under the reeds and slowly waiting, while the answers floated aimlessly, waiting to be captured but not quite close to being.
The answers came to him, yet again, suddenly, finally being captured. One at a time, they came, slowly, even slower then an equinox.
When?
Easiest questions first, of course, and he answered this one quietly and with out too much complexity. It had happened after Orochimaru, after Sakura had left. It had happened after she had come to his team, after Sasuke had tried to kill her. It had happened last night, before new light had spread over these sheets like a peacock opening it's feathers in pride, something which he did not have right now, had left his body from his mouth with a scream.
Next question.
Where?
Another easy question with too many answers for his liking. There were so many places it had happened (it... He was not ready to say what it was, and he did not even know what it was, yet). It had happened in this bedroom, in the woods, the bathhouse, his house, the training grounds... Almost everywhere! So, the 'where' was cast off into the raging red sea, the raging red sea that resembled a certain someone's eyes.
Again, next question.
Who?
This was too obvious. It was the person who just fucked him, his rival, his friend, his... Well, his... He couldn't say 'lover' or anything like that, because he still hated Sasuke in an odd way, and weren't 'lovers' supposed to love each other?
Now, it was on to the harder questions. The ones he feared, the ones he didn't want to answer or even touch. These questions rose fear in him, strangled him in an invisible way. But he answered them anyways, if only to pass the time that was watching him suffer.
Why?
Why, why, why? Why had Sasuke done that? Why had she become his team member? Why had they done this wrongful thing? Why was he here? Why did this Uchiha like him 'that way'? Why had this happened? Why, why, WHY?!
He had the urge to clutch his head and scream out in agony, because it felt like his mind was bursting, a volcano filled with poisonous substances that would kill him sooner or later. The questions, overflowing 'why's?' were scraping away at everything he had, like sandpaper against wood.
But, he still had one more question, and he had to answer it, or he wouldn't, and it would hurt more then right now, and he was hurting so much. So, with a final breathe, he closed his eyes tightly and tensed for a pounding hammer against his head, and asked himself the last question.
How?
This had happened because... Because... Well, he didn't know. How this had happened, how the raven-winged boy had began to 'love him', need him like he needed his dreams. It was impossible to figure out. But he couldn't think of the reasons, because he was in pain, and everything hurt.
Suddenly, his mind went blank and his heart stopped, the pain stopped, his eyes were blind, his sense were raped by the darkness, because the breathing behind him had become more irregular, more shallow, more alive, more real. He could feel it shifting ever so slightly, the head atop his moving ever so slightly, and then the words spoken shook hard, because he could actually hear them, and the pounding in his head emerged again and he almost made a sound. But he didn't, because the teen behind him was speaking deadly things.
"Naruto? Are you awake?"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Only a few minutes after the free show he had accidentally (ACCIDENTLY, to emphasize, Naruto thought) given the rookie genin, he stepped out into the sunlight, the yellow rays shining upon his blond locks, as well as some shadows.
Baby-blue eyes, that competed with only the sky for the bluest color, looked around for any sign of life, anything that might have proved that the Uchiha was there. But there was no signs of life or any proof that the Uchiha was there, so he shrugged it off and placed his hands behind his head, jumping off the top step and landing gracefully and with a brief unsettlement of dust.
He put his arms down after a minute because he realized that he was going to be late, and Kakashi-sensei would leave him if he didn't hurry. The blonde quickened his pace to a leisurely jog, arms moving at his sides in rhythm to his feet. Kakashi wouldn't leave him if he was a little late! Kami knew how many times the man had been hours late to meeting them. None the less, he had an urgency to get there before half an hour.
His thoughts strayed to the boy that had made him hurry up his usual routine, a scowl crossing his face as the thoughts become angrier and less logical. Why had stupid Sasuke have to come and wake him up? Why was Sasuke acting all weird, too? He was making all these stupid comments at the most inappropriate of times, and it was really, really, weird!
Before the blonde could think about it anymore, something whizzed past his ear from behind as he passed the turn around for the bridge, the shiny metal recognizable as it hit the tree across from him and lodged itself deep into the trunk. What the hell?! A kunai?
He whirled around angrily, throwing stars ready in his right hand to throw out as he faced his assaulter. It was no surprise that no one was there, and he glanced wearily around the trees. What the hell?! Why were ninja attacking him?! He hadn't done anything!... Lately. LATELY.
The steps behind him went unrecognized as the blue-eyed boy relaxed a little, still in the ready pose for fight or flight. The throwing stars became lax in his hands as he straightened up and cast a confused look at the silent trees. Ok. So he wasn't being attacked anymore?
"Naruto?"
He yelled loudly at the voice that was whispering right near his ear and twirled around haphazardly, throwing stars no longer in his hand as he threw them towards the person behind him.
He landed on the ground, tailbone the first to make impact. Letting out a hiss of pain, his tightly shut eyes opened a fraction. Stupid person! Stupid sneaking up on him! Stupid... Sasuke?!
A groan escaped the teen's lips. He really should have known that.
The Black-haired prodigy had escaped his clumsy throw by doing a back flip and crouching low to the ground, not even bothering to block the lazy throwing stars as they half-heartedly planted themselves beside the earlier kunai.
"SASUKE, YOU BASTARD! Next time, don't do that, you ass!!!"
"Shut up, dobe. I was yelling at you to wait."
"No you weren't!"
"Yes I was. You were just thinking, miracle upon miracles,"
"Hey! What was that supposed to mean?!?"
"Shut up, dead last. Let's go. We're almost there."
"You shut up! You didn't have to sneak up on me!"
"You call yourself a ninja?"
"I WAS THINKING!"
"Shut up, dobe. Let's go."
That was, apparently, the end of their squabble, because the sharingan-user turned the corner and ignored him. The Kyuubi holder grumbled something about 'stuck-up bastards' and followed angrily, hands shoved in his pockets, much like the Uchiha usually did.
A few minutes of walking found them looking forward to a silver-haired man on the bridge, in the distance, standing with a black-haired person, back turned to them.
Naruto's grin and enthusiasm returned full force as his tan hands were pulled out of his pockets and he began to run towards the two, thoughts whizzing through his head hurriedly. Was this the surprise? A new teammate? Of course, no one could compare with Sakura-chan, but at least they could have a teammate to help with the work on missions!
Closer and closer he came, and his smile grew wider. He hoped to Kami that it was a new teammate!
The silver-haired man waved at him, and probably Sasuke, who was still behind him, and the blonde happily waved back, with a yell. He was getting closer to knowing who the new person was!
"Kakashi-sensei! Is that person the surprise?!"
"Hai, Naruto! This will be your new teammate!"
His feet came to a grounding halt as he walked onto the beginning of the bridge, feet making small 'thunks' as he glanced briefly at the dark haired person. Which he now knew was a girl.
"Naruto, since Sasuke is being slow, I'd like to introduce you to your new team member."
The girl turned around, fingers in knots and a blush darkening her pale, pale skin. Trademark white eyes looked up at him shyly, and a stutter erupted from the red mouth as he stared.
"H-Hello Na-Naruto-kun."
"Hinata?!"
MWMWMWMWMWMWMWMMWMWMWMWMWMWM-TBC
I finished! AND OMG, IT'S HINATA!!!! The new team member . I realize that this is a bit of a cliff-hanger, and I'm kind of sorry for it XD. But, hell, I want to make you people keep on reading to find out why HINATA is there!
... I don't think there's any notes. And I'm not doing the Japanese thinger, so, meh. No notes. SOOOOOOO.....
Well, Affnet was being stupid. So, I had this done about a week before I posted it, right now XD;;;. Anyway!
Hah. I dunno what to put for a quirky-retarded thinger to make you guys think I'm an idiot.
"CHEVY! I CHOOSE YOU!"
XD!
An inside joke with my sister. So... Review? Please?
