Last Time:
"What's wrong?" Sasuke's voice was serious and the contented gaze that had met Naruto's, guilt laden ones, was gone. A new determination flared in his onyx orbs. Determined to know what was wrong. Sasuke refused to let go.
"I'm sorry Sasuke. I can't do this," Naruto's voice betrayed his feelings. He should have known not to get involved with Sasuke, but he had let his mask slip and Sasuke had taken advantage of his moment of exposure. He made another mistake, like the last one.
Chap 4:
'You said you were leaving for my sake. Is that how you had rationalized this? You said you'd come back, but you haven't. You left me your jacket to remember you by until you came back. You didn't really like this jacket, did you? I tried to be your equal in skill even though I knew you weren't coming back. I tried my hardest. I made no friends. All I did was train, yet you still haven't come.'
Naruto had been silent now for a while and Sasuke was loosing his patience.
"What the FUCK do you mean? You can't do this?" Sasuke was feeling desperate. He wasn't going to loose another person he considered family.
Naruto felt a stab of pain rip through his heart. He knew he should tell Sasuke the truth, but he hadn't talked about him with anyone. Then Naruto finally broke.
"No one even asked me what I wanted! I didn't even ask for this! He was the only one who under stood me! He's the only one who cared! I was with him for so long he was all I knew. I still love him."
Naruto fell silent as tears streamed down his face. Sasuke was still trying to comprehend what it was Naruto was talking about. Naruto was tugging at his hand again so Sasuke gave one big tug pulling Naruto into his arms. Sasuke was sitting Indian style with Naruto in his lap with his back against Sasuke's chest. Sasuke rested his head on Naruto's right shoulder with his arms wrapped tightly around Naruto's waist and chest. This alone calmed the two of them down.
"Naruto, please explain to me what you just said."
" . . . When I was little the person who took care of me was my whole world, he understood what I was going through and was there for me. He was the only one who would talk to or look at me in a kind way . . . but then he left me. I thought he loved me. I thought we would be together forever. I thought I would have someone I could depend on, but in the end even he left me. He didn't even tell me why."
"Does this person have a name?"
" . . . Kruama. He has a demon in him too."
"What does he have inside of him?"
"A wind demon but, he knew how to control his demon. He always helped me when I needed it the most. I remember this one time when I had climbed a tree to hide from the kids trying to beat me up. I had gotten stuck up there and couldn't climb back down. I don't remember how long I was up there, but I remember when I heard his voice calling to me. I was afraid to let him see me like that. I didn't want him to know I had run away from my problems only to get stuck in another. He found me anyway. He used his demons power to get me down. He had caught me and looked at me and said he was proud of me. I couldn't understand what he was so proud of. I had run away, but he said he was proud because I hadn't cried . . . I guess I've let him down lots of times now."
"Naruto . . . You're strong in your own way. Just because you cried doesn't mean you're any weaker then you would be if you didn't cry. You were alone for a lot of the time weren't you? Who were you going to talk to make things all better with? Who was going to make things better simply because they know what you were going through and sympathize with you? I can see how things would get so overwhelming that you couldn't help but to break down and cry. You're only human after all."
At that last statement Naruto gasped and his whole body went ridged. Sasuke stopped talking and froze as well wondering exactly what he had said to cause Naruto to stiffen under his embrace, but then Naruto went completely lax in his arms.
"No one's ever told me that."
"What."
"That I was human . . ."
