Author Note: (Asaroth: nothing to say? How disappointing for me, I enjoy reading a/n...) Ah darn, I forgot to write something! Alright! What to say?? That's right, this is the continue for the last part of this fic where I so cruelly made you all wait up until now. This is the part where I will continue the journey for those that wants a happy ending, I'm one of them now, ahem. Since the other chapter isn't ready just yet I'm going to say this just like I have in that. Those that want to read a tragedy ending you'll have to wait for the next part. Yeah, I actually write two endings for this one. I got a few request and I was in a giving mood. :) The next chapter after that one will continue on the happy ending, so don't worry. The happy ending is coming. :p

I also want to thank everyone that reviewed on the previous chapter. It was great to know you liked it so much. And to think that I still got reviews after a few weeks that told me to update very soon. It made me happy. Thanks to everyone that also have taken the time and read this story too.

Disclaimer: I think you know the drill but let's take it again. Naruto isn't my property but Satoshi is. Steal Satoshi in this story without asking first and it will be very unforgivable.

Pairings: SasuNaru, SakuLee, HinaNeji. There is shounen-ai/yaoi in this story and if you have read the previous chapters and not got that yet I don't know what to think. You have been warned. Sorry that I haven't put out the Shounen-ai warning in the summary outside but I forgot for a while. (Asaroth: Bad monkan, bad! Some people just don't get it even if you're very clear on the subject so expect some idiots to flame you for that...sighs) Me: 'sweat drop'.

Read, Enjoy and Review.

What You Left Me

Written by Monkan and Edited by Asaroth

Chapter 9

The sound of dripping blood echoed through Sasuke's head. Slowly the red drops made their way down his hand, over the blade of the kunai he was holding, down onto the woods below them. The colour red spread out over the shirt where it had been cut. Sasuke stared with shock into the blue eyes of the person he just had spilled the blood of. The one person he so desperately had wished to see if only one last time.

"S-sasuke?" The voice broke through the silence. Sasuke came to his senses just in time to see a thin line of blood make its way from the corner of Naruto's mouth. Naruto's eyes were half closed, almost as if he were sleepy. "I've missed you." He said in a whisper.

Sasuke felt tears in his eyes. How many times had he heard that same voice in his dreams? How many years had it hunted his heart, making him want to see the person it belonged to? "Naruto..." He managed to choke out. Pulling out the kunai from Naruto's chest, he dropped it so it fell to the ground with a metallic sound that echoed through out the stadium. Sasuke could feel the hand over his heart rest there for a moment as time just stopped. He saw Naruto fall down the short distance between them.

Sasuke caught Naruto in his arms. Naruto's head came to rest against his shoulder. Sasuke held him close for a moment before what was happening hit him. Naruto's eyes were closed. He gently grabbed Naruto's shoulder and shook him. "Wake up. Naruto. Don't do this to me again! Naruto!" Sasuke called the other man. Slowly Naruto opened his eyes and looked up to meet Sasuke's and smiled. The fear that Sasuke realized had gripped his heart was letting go. He could no longer hold back his tears. He let them spill down his cheeks. "... Naruto..." Sasuke whispered before gathering Naruto in his embrace once again.

Naruto closed his eyes and sighed. He let the familiar warmth and feelings surround him. He felt so tired, but he wanted to stay with Sasuke for as long as he could.

Someone landed beside them.

"Daddy?" A small voice asked. Both men looked up.

Satoshi walked out of the Mist man's arms and slowly over to Sasuke's side, grabbing hold of his black shirt. "Daddy!" Sasuke wrapped one of his arms around the little boy and held him close, his tears falling into Satoshi's blond hair. It didn't take long before he let go of Naruto completely, he almost fell down to his knees before he hugged Satoshi. Satoshi returned the hug with all he had. He buried his face into Sasuke's chest. "Daddy!" Satoshi sniffed.

Naruto leaned against the tree beside him for support. He looked at the little boy. The blond hair that covered the boy's head was bright yellow, the pale skin, the slightly round face but that still had high cheek bones. Naruto couldn't see the boy's eyes but somehow he knew that they were blue, just like his own. He couldn't explain it to himself but somehow he just knew. Naruto reached out a hand and touched the blond bangs that covered the side of the boy's face. The touch made the boy look up and clear blue eyes met once again.

Satoshi stared with big eyes into Naruto's. He didn't let go of Sasuke's shirt. He was confused of what was happening. At first Naruto had been nice to him if only a little cold, then he had acted like ice and ignored him. Now he was different somehow.

"Naruto." Sasuke said to get his attention. Satoshi looked up to his daddy too. He was crying and smiling. Sasuke's arm was still around Satoshi. "This is Uchiha Satoshi." Sasuke looked down at Satoshi for a moment before he once more looked up at Naruto's face. "Naruto, this is our son!"

Naruto looked between Sasuke and Satoshi before he gently placed his hand on Satoshi's cheek for a moment, just looking into the boy's blue eyes. Slowly Naruto reached out with both his hands and hugged Satoshi gently like was made of glass. He didn't dare breathe at first in case it was a dream.

Satoshi stood completely still for a moment, trying to understand what was happening before he returned the embrace. After what seemed like a long time but was still all to short, Naruto pulled Satoshi gently back so he could look at him again. He didn't know what to say. In his mind he remembered when he first and last had seen his son when he had been just born. Now that same child was 6 years old. What caught Naruto's attention were the boy's eyes. Those same eyes he had when he was young. The same haunted eyes that showed a pain of the soul that shouldn't be there, someone too young that shouldn't know about the hard things in life. But still in that sorrow and pain he could see something he had lacked during his childhood. Happiness, warmth and love.

Satoshi studied Naruto for a moment, it seemed like he had guessed right when he first met him. This WAS the young man on his daddy's picture. The same one his daddy loved so much and cried over. The one he was told was his mommy. This wasn't the dream he usually had, where a faceless person would be with him and daddy. A face that always had been hidden in shadows. In his dreams his daddy would laugh in a carefree manner and show a side that he had rarely seen. It was always thanks to the person beside daddy that made him like that. The one that could make all their pain go away. Now Satoshi finally had a face to give to the missing member of his broken family. He gave Naruto a small smile that was returned before hugging his mommy again. 'Don't leave us!' Satoshi thought. 'Daddy doesn't need any more pain!'

Naruto looked up sharply when all his senses went to full alertness. He had just enough time to see the mist shinobi beside them jump toward them before he felt a blinding pain in his shoulder.

Sasuke felt something warm stain his face and clothes. For a moment he was back where it had all started. Six years ago. The blood back then that had stained him when he couldn't do anything to prevent what was happening. The very same feeling of losing someone. The pain of that moment that could last a lifetime. He could hear the laugher of the assassin in his mind. He was once again laughing at Sasuke. Once again laughing at what Sasuke held closest to his heart. Laughing at everything that meant something to him. Everything was falling apart.

"NO." Sasuke screamed as he reached forward and tried to grab Naruto and Satoshi before they fell. But he was too late. He could feel the fabric of Naruto's shirt against his fingertips as the blond man fell. "NARUTO. SATOSHI." He yelled as he jumped after them.

Sasuke landed on his feet beside Naruto and Satoshi. He saw the mist ninja that had helped Satoshi escape use chakra and cut the long spear. He stood up and pulled out the sharp weapon from his own upper body. Sasuke vaguely remembered that the man had pushed Naruto out of the way as well as covered them to take most of the hit himself. He had fallen together with Naruto and Satoshi to the ground but somehow Sasuke had missed it.

Sasuke stared wide eyed as the man coughed out blood and had to put his hands on his tights to keep standing. The man gave Sasuke a weak smile when he noticed he was watched.

"I'll live." He said weakly.

Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts and reached for his koi and son. He grabbed what was left of the weapon and pulled it out before he placed his hands over the wound. He turned Naruto carefully over so he was lying on his back. Sasuke looked at the little head with blond hair that had its face pressed against Naruto's shirt. The boy wasn't moving.

"Sa-satoshi?" Sasuke slowly placed a hand on the little boy's head. To his relief Satoshi turned his head and looked at his daddy. "Are you ok?" Sasuke asked.

"My arm hurts." Satoshi confessed.

Sasuke nodded and caressed Satoshi's cheek comfortingly. "You'll be all right." Sasuke said softly. "Wait a moment." Satoshi nodded as he held his right arm.

He then looked at the other one. "Naruto." He asked. When he didn't receive any response he laid his finger on Naruto's neck, feeling for a pulse. He gave a deep breath of relief when he found one.

Satoshi looked around and saw that some of daddy's friends were running toward them.

Sasuke was about to lift Naruto up and take him to the hospital when he heard Satoshi yell. "Watch out, daddy."

Sasuke had almost no time to react when a shadow landed behind him and he was pushed down to the ground by one of the mist ninja. A kunai was pressed against his neck, hinting that if he moved he would have his throat cut. The assaulter looked up with angry green eyes.

"One step closer and you'll have one dead body." He hissed loudly at Sasuke's friends that were a few meters away.

The rest of the mist shinobis landed beside them and one of them picked Naruto up. They turned around and jumped back up the wall.

"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled. The slight movement made the kunai cut a thin line over his throat.

"I told you not to move." The ninja whispered. He then punched Sasuke's chest. It wasn't just a normal punch, because it felt like something just snapped inside of him. What was strange was that it didn't really hurt.

"You'll die traitor." The mist ninja said to their ex-team-mate. He slowly backed away a little then he made a big backwards jumps and he too jumped up on the wall, following his comrades that were already ahead of him. At the same time Raikage bid a good bye to Tsunade and the other Kages.

Sasuke stared after them even if they were long gone.

"Sasuke, are you all right?"

Sasuke looked up and saw Neji and Sakura standing beside him. He ignored their question, "Satoshi."

When Satoshi began to walk over to his daddy, holding his injured arm, Sasuke began to stand up.

Sasuke was just about to push himself off the ground when he felt like time had stopped. He chocked on his own blood in the back of his throat as he clutched his chest. It hurt, more than he could put into words. He felt like he was about to throw up his stomach.

He fell gracelessly back down on his knees and arms.

The people around him called for him but he only heard the weak, "Daddy?"

Sasuke looked up at the scared and worried face of his son. He gave the little boy a small smile to calm him down. Satoshi sat down beside his daddy. The boy returned the smile, not as confident but close enough.

Sakura sat down beside Satoshi. She quickly examined Sasuke for any serious injuries. She was happy to find none. "You'll be fine, Sasuke-kun. You aren't seriously, hurt but we need to get all of you to the hospital." She moved her hand quickly and pressed a point on Sasuke's neck.

Sasuke could feel his eyes close slowly. Darkness over took him, but he didn't want to leave Satoshi. Not now, not after everything that had happened. He was so confused; the Naruto he loved and thought was dead was back, alive. But how? Why? What had really happened six years ago to come to this?

But at the moment, none of those questions mattered.

All that mattered was that Naruto was alive. He could have back what was taken from him. He wasn't about to lose Naruto a second time. Neither was Satoshi. He deserved a happy life with both of them.

With the last bit of strength he possessed and little remaining of his consciousness, he grabbed Satoshi's shirt in a promise. This time, he would do whatever he could to save Naruto. And give Satoshi the family he deserved.

Tbc...

Author Note: There, it's done. I know many of you have waited long for it and I hope you like how this chapter turned out! I have to confess to get it out of my system, I accidentally posted it yesterday when I hadn't looked through what Asaroth changed and every comment she made was still there. I thought I had it ready but I had to work so I didn't get too far behind in 3D. Anyway, in the end I confused the chapter and made a mistake so I had to take it down, it was a total mess. There still a few chapters I have left from this summer that are going to be posted but I haven't had the strength or time to write more after that. I thought I would last weekend but sis called me to work for a few hours and then there weren't any busses to take home. However, you still have a few more chapters to look forward to and in that time I hope to have done some more writing. ;)

But for the moment, review... cya!
