-1Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or Tales of Symphonia…
This is just a teaser. Not the actual chapter one. It might give some understanding to what will happen during the course of this fanfic, so…Yeah. This is a Naruto/Tales of Symphonia crossover, with crossover pairings.
Don't like? Don't read. Also, don't flame me for being lazy with Hate Me, Don't Love Me. It ain't mah fault.
……..Til Her Heartache Ends: Teaser……
The night before, Sheena had lain next to him, her body curled into a ball and pulled up next to his.
He was so warm…So full of life. Sasuke…She thought, staring into that peaceful face of his. His name was to be savored, not passed by like a candy bar. But Sheena couldn't stay tonight. Pushing herself up with her arms, she stood, limbs dangling at her sides.
Sasuke looked so peaceful as he slept…And it was hard to believe she had hated him before. She had accused him of ruining her life, and she had hurt him…
Just like she had hurt Zelos. Sheena became the reason that Magic Swordsman was no longer here, and she punished herself daily for it.
Just like she had hurt Kuchinawa. Sheena was also the cause of his hatred towards her. The accident with Volt took his parents away from him, and it was all Sheena's fault.
And several years, and months, had passed…Yet she still wasn't able to bring herself to put herself at ease. The purple-clad ninja sighed softly, feathering her fingers through her hair as she turned to leave. But then, she found that she couldn't. Fingers were wrapped firmly around her wrist, preventing her from moving.
"Sheena? Where are you going?" Sasuke asked. Sheena couldn't bear to look at him…She knew that look, and she could sense it…Just like she could sense his gaze burning itself into the back of her head. "Out." Sheena replied stonily, tugging a bit on her hand.
"Why can't you stay?"
"Sasuke…I just can't." Sheena bowed her head shamefully, shaking her head a bit. Sasuke loosened his grip on her a bit, but still didn't let go. "Sheena…you told me, when we first met, that in the Igaguri style, love must be conducted in secrecy. Is that right?"
Sheena nodded, sighing. "Yes, that's right…"
"Then…Right here, and right now. All by ourselves…Is it alright for me to say to you…'I love you'?"
Time could have stopped at that moment. Sheena felt blood rushing to her head, and her cheeks heat up almost instantly. How embarrassing…She thought, tensing up a bit. "Sa…suke?" Sheena turned around slowly, finding her hand freed from his grip.
Gradually, she stepped closer so that she could look him directly in the eyes.
"I love you, too."
……
Aaaand that's the teaser. It's weird, I know. Proceed on to the first real chapter! -flex- Woot!
