Chapter Four: Swirling Ceurelean (sp?)

All POV's

Naruto stared down at Sasuke, tears brimmimg on his eyes, holding the hand tightly of the man he considered a best friend and a close brother. The onyx eyes of Uchicha Sasuke stared back at him, full of sadness, deep and full of regret.

"I...I called you here cause I can't fight anymore..I'm too tired...I was unable to fulfill my dream..to avenge my clan..but more important then that, I was unable to make my friends happy..I'm sorry..I'm so sorry..I..I nearly ruined the lives of the only family I had left.." Tears filled Sasuke's eyes, as he stared at his two best friends. A lump formed in his throat.

"Shut up Teme - you didn't ruin our lives, if it wasn't for you - who would I have rivaled with? If it wasn't for you - who would Sakura have chased after - and become strong for - at first anyway - If it wasn't for you, Orochimeru would still be walking the earth, Your the reason I fought so hard, so shut up and stop gripin"

Sasuke looked back up at Naruto Damn that dobe! Why does he always know what to say! His eyes slid over to Sakura for a moment, and he gave a genuine smile, not a half smirk, no - a genuine smile.

"Sakura, thank you for making the dobe happy, thank you for caring for me - You gave me so much affection and I gave you none, I am sorry for that..but I couldn't risk it..him coming after you as well...but now that doesn't matter..I'm going to die...so I ask of you both one thing..kill him for me...please..." his voice was growing weak now. Cold and lonely, he was tired, he just wanted to pass on.

"Sure Sasuke-teme, we'll make sure Itachi burns in hell for you, and hey, when we finally kick the bucket - you bet yer ass when I get to heaven I'ma kick yours!" Sasuke merely let out a small chuckle, and leaned his head back.

"I have one final favor to ask of you Naruto...I already discussed this with Sakura AND Tsunade..."

Sakura for a moment turned pale, and lowered her head. So he was actually going to go through with it.

"Ask away Teme"

"I want you...to take my eyes...then be the one that puts my soul to rest..."

"WHAT! ARE YOU STUPID! YOU WANT ME TO KILL YOU!"

"I'm going to die anyway dobe...atleast this way no one can come steal my eyes...and..and I know you'll use their strenght to protect people..not hurt them.."

"N..naruto you don't have to go through with this..but..but if you want to..Tsunade said she is willing to do the transplant.."

"You mean my eyes wont be blue anymore?"

"No Naruto...they will be sasuke's eyes..."

"I'll do it" Naruto said without thinking.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm Sure...I will hold your eyes with pride sasuke..."

In a moment Tsunade came in, obviously listening in and set Naruto in a bed beside Sasuke, the process was long, and tiring on all involved, when finished Sasuke was near death and blind. He simply smiled and spoke softly.

"Please Naruto..do it..." Naruto's shaking hand leaned down, covered in green Chakra, and with a push, shut down the tensetsku (sp?) to his best friends brain, ending all his life functions, quickly and painlessly.

"It's done Naruto..open your eyes..lets..lets see if it was successful.." Naruto's eyes slowly came to the world around him, as they did - Sakura gasped. Naruto's eyes were - still blue.

"Na...Naruto...focus some Chakra into your eyes..." Naruto nodded and as he focused, his blue eyes shifted - into the Magenkyo Sharingan - though something was diffrent - where red should have been - there was blue - where black should have been, there was red. A nurse in the room cast him a nasty glare - and on accident his Sharingan began to swirl - blue and red dancing forever within his eyes, the woman screamed and dropped to the floor.

The next few days were spent analyzing what had happened, Tsunade's best guess was that Kyuubi had something to do with it - that while they were transferring the eyes, Naruto's healing had tried to replace his own, and thus the mix of the Sharingan's colors. Naruto was still tired, and growing used to his eyes. As he lay in bed staring at the ceiling his hospital door slid open, and there stood Tsunami and Inari.

"We thought we'd come for a visit..." The older woman said gently, walking over to Naruto and running her fingers through his hair.

"Inari..do me a favor and go find something for Naruto to eat..."

"Okay mom!" Inari ran from the room and Tsunami sat down beside him.

"So...did you talk to Sakura about..it...yet Naruto-Kun?"

"Ya..."

"And?"

"She..said she understands that fox's need more then one mate..and that as long as its someone I truely care about..that she wouldn't care...besides..with the tricks you taught me, I don't think anyone would disagree"

Tsunami blushed alittle and leaned in, kissing Naruto gently on the lips.

"So very true Naruto-kun - So very True"

End Chapter: Betcha no one saw that one coming didja? Anyways, I'd like to explain ages: Naruto 21 Sakura 22 Inari 13 Tsunami 30Yes I realize that means Tsunami had Inari when she was 17 - but with arrainged marriages and young births it was not all that uncommon back then. It also means she was 21 when naruto was 12, as in when they first went to wave country. By the way - does anyone have any suggestions for other pairings with our favorite foxboy?
