Chapter 8
The blonde stepped into the house and closed the door…
What am I doing, Naruto thought? I came to return his schoolbooks, nothing more!
Sasuke came back into the room fully dressed, and with some tea. He gave Naruto tea and took a seat beside him. They silently drank their tea. Naruto had the urge to run out of the house. The silence was killing him!
"I know you were not seeing someone else." Sasuke sighed, after finished his last sip.
The blonde chocked on his tea. "What!"
"I don't repeat myself for bakas." The dark haired boy smirked.
"How," Naruto demanded. "How do you know I wasn't seeing someone else ever?"
Sasuke sighed again. "Neji told me."
"What!" The blonde cried. "But Neji told me that you were in the park with someone else!"
"That too." He replied to Naruto.
"WAIT!" Naruto jumped up and pointed at Sasuke. "What the heck happened to Neji? You're saying you talked to him, but – he's been missing for the past 24 hours! So, what happened to him?"
"Not much."
"Not much!" The blonde groaned in frustration. "I've lost you. What do you mean?"
"Naruto, I shouldn't be telling you this. It would be better off left alone."
Left alone? Naruto thought, Ha! What is so horrible that Sasuke has to say?
"Neji was – forced to tell the lies he told." The dark haired boy began. "This is going to sound absolutely crazy, but the whole village was in on it."
"It?" The blonde shouted angrily, "What is it?"
"I figured you already knew." Sasuke replied slowly, clearing shocked. "I'll start from the beginning."
Naruto sat back down, not fully trusting Sasuke at the moment.
"When the people of our village found out we were a couple, they couldn't take it I assume." Sasuke shook his head sadly. "You weren't supposed to be happy. I mean, to them – you were just an outcast – a monster. They had to make us become enemies and break up our relationship, so no happiness would come your way, Naruto. Many people, like Neji, were forced to help with this scheme. They had no choice. Though, once we became enemies, some people had a change of heart and realized what they did was wrong. These people have left the village."
"Neji is gone?" Naruto gasped. "He left the village?"
"Yes," Sasuke sighed. "But some didn't leave. Those people are still unknown to me. As I was saying, the village tricked us. I saw an illusion when you were kissing another. They had preformed a genjutsu on me. I-" His voice faltered.
Naruto saw he was shaking. Tears formed in his own eyes. How could the village do this to us? We were so happy, but it was my fault! I shouldn't have gotten involved with Sasuke!
"I'm sorry." Sasuke whispered. "You are everything to me. I should have realized what was happening sooner."
The blonde stood and uttered a single sob. The village had come between them. The whole damn village. He couldn't believe it. They were the cause of this pain and suffering!
Sasuke placed his face in his hands, his shoulders shaking from his wracked sobs.
"I'm sorry my love." Naruto whispered. "So sorry." With that he turned and left…
Okay! Did you like it? A lot of suffering huh? I have tears in my eyes from writing this! Just read and review, that is all I ask. Last two chapters to come soon.
