Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, and neither does my friend.
This fanfic is based on a roleplay that my friend and I did, and are still doing. Some things have been edited so that my penname won't get frozen or anything like that, and so it would make more sense to you. Have fun reading this, 'cause we had fun writing it.
Just a notice, but there is some shounen-ai... and maybe some slight sexual content in later chapters. Just though I'd let you all know.
Who Roleplayed Who:
Naruto: Me
Sasuke: My Friend
(Those are the main characters. I might make a buddy-fic of this one but with Sakura and Kakashi.)
Hated. Worthless. Pathetic.
That's all he thought of himself. He didn't belong. And if he just left, everyone would be better off - or so he thought. Why would anyone be sad if he were dead? Avenging the Uchiha clan didn't mean anything to him anymore - which probably came as a HUGE surprise to some people. -
He'd been missing training sessions with Team Seven constantly now. Why? Simply because he didn't want to go. Another surprise that might come to most. The boy was always training to become stronger and now... He'd just given up? Yes. That's exactly what he'd done. The boy wasn't eating, he wasn't sleeping, and he wasn't talking. ... Well, the boy hadn't been much of a talker in the first place but he usually said at least a few words in training. The first time he'd gone to training in a long time was at least a week and a half ago and he didn't even talk then. He wasn't even /trying/ to train with what Kakashi was teaching them. To say the least, Kakashi probably wasn't very happy.
Recently, he'd taken up the habit of cutting. It didn't hurt, really. But he always had to wash the kunai just because if he used a kunai anywhere and it was bloody, someone just might get suspicious. People were probably already suspicious, but that didn't matter. As long as people didn't look or grab his arms, then nothing would be giving' away.
It seemed Sakura had been freaking out because he wouldn't exchange a single word with her and he always seemed to be gone now. She needed to stop clambering all over him, it was getting deathly annoying.
Sighing softly, Uchiha Sasuke shifted a little bit from his position in the tree where he was sitting. He was sitting up as high as he could, hopping no one would notice him. Because if they did, they would see him with a kunai pressed up against his wrist, and then they could just figure out what he was doing.

On the edge of Kohona, a blonde raced through the town in a flash of orange, yellow, and blue, accidentally knocking into people as he ran. It was the number one, loudest ninja of Kohona, whom we all know and are annoyed by, Uzumaki Naruto. He had to find him. Naruto hadn't seen him lately, and once he heard from some crazed fan girls that had noticed slight blood stains on the arm of his jacket, he ran. "Damnit, Sasuke! You dumbass!" he muttered, dodging trees once he reached the woods. He sniffed the air slightly, eyes shut, and a foul aroma reached his nose.
'Blood... Damnit Sasuke! Where are you!'
Standing in one spot, Naruto crouched on the ground, focusing on his senses... What he heard... What he smelt... he glanced up and caught a sight of the raven locks that belonged to the one he was looking for.
Sasuke hadn't even noticed Naruto down below the tree he was perched in, because it he had, he would've pulled his sleeve down and hid the kunai and left, but he didn't do any of those movements as he slid the kunai down his wrist, eyes half-closed. Ok, so this time there might've been a little bit of pain, but a little but of pain was a little bit of pain, if he couldn't withstand this, he would probably go even more insane.
Sighing a little bit, Sasuke leaned his head backwards against the tree, allowing his eyes to close fully now.
Naruto's right ear twitched a bit when the sound of a soft sigh hit his eardrum, causing Naruto to shoot up on his feet and look to the top of the trees to where he saw the raven locks. He hesitated, but still ran up the tree trunk, landing in front of the young Uchiha. "Sasuke?" he said quietly, smacking him on the cheek with a hand gently. "Sasuke! Are you dead?" He said again, and saw the bloody mess that was his arm. "Damnit, Sasuke..." muttered Naruto, wondering whether to take him to a doctor, or Sakura, or to tend to his wounds himself."… Damnit, Sasuke."
As soon as Naruto smacked him in the face, the boy's eyes flew open to come face to face with the blonde. Sasuke's eyes widened for a moment, before cursing himself silently in his head, trying to keep his cool. "Ah... Naruto..." He muttered, narrowing his eyes a little bit. "What do you want?"
Naruto's eyes narrowed to slits when Sasuke's eyes widened and he sighed almost silently as he spoke. "I don't want anything..." Naruto responded, "What's going on? You've missed all these classes, and I heard from some girls that your sleeves were stained with blood, but I see the reason for that now..." He glanced down at his bloodied arm then looked back up at Sasuke's face. "... I came to find you. What's up?"
Sasuke shifted ever so slightly as Naruto spoke and he glanced down at his own bloody arm. His eyes narrowed as he looked back up at Naruto, cursing at himself inside of his mind again. "Why in the hell should you care what's up?" The boy growled. "It's none of your business."
Naruto shoved his arms out straight and they landed on Sasuke's shoulders. "Damnit Sasuke! I was fucking worried about you!" Naruto stared at him then realized what he just said. He quickly thought up something else to say. "... You're part of the team. If you left... Kakashi wouldn't have anyone to relate to. And you make my life more interesting. Damnit, Sasuke! That's why I care what's up with you! I'm going through some pain too... I can help you. Or I can try my very best to help you. I can't say that I know what you're going through, because I don't... but I can kind of relate." Naruto's arms dropped off of Sasuke's shoulders and he turned so his legs were hanging off one side of the branch.
Sasuke was a bit shocked at what Naruto had said but he didn't allow his shock to show. Damnit. Why in the hell did people have to worry about him? Why couldn't they just worry about themselves? "You shouldn't bother worrying about me, Naruto," Sasuke said rather bluntly. "Just because I'm part of your team."
Naruto sighed. "That's not the only reason that I worry about you, Sasuke... I have another reason, but I have to keep it to myself..." He avoided eye-contact with the Uchiha. "I can't tell you the other reason... It's not that I don't trust you or anything... I'm just not ready to tell anyone yet." Naruto shut his eyes and hung on the branch by his legs, with his arms crossed across his chest.
Sasuke sighed a little bit, closing his eyes for a moment again, trying to keep his thoughts safe. The lack of food, sleep and blood was causing him to feel dizzy. 'Damnit Sasuke... Stay awake...' The boy thought, though his body started to waver a little bit, not being able to keep himself conscious.
Naruto sighed they sat on the branch again, glancing at Sasuke. "Sasuke?" The boy in front of him looked a little pale. "Sasuke!" Naruto was starting to get frantic. He tested Sasuke's temperature with the back of his hand on Sasuke's forehead. He was getting cold. "Oh man... Sasuke, can you get down and walk?"Naruto ripped off a piece of his jacket and wrapped it around Sasuke's wounded arm, trying to cease the bleeding.
Sasuke didn't respond to anything, though his eyes opened a little bit, before they slowly slid close once more, his body slowly starting to go limp. It would probably be best if the boy didn't sleep until he wasn't on the very edge of death. He was taking deep breaths and his breathing was slowing slowly.
"Damnit, Sasuke..." Naruto muttered at the nearly lifeless boy in front of him. He groaned then gently picked up Sasuke bridal-style, jumping off the tree and racing toward the village, hoping that the Uchiha boy would live. Getting to the village a few seconds later, he frantically looked around for a doctor of some kind. As he searched, the word 'damnit' looped through his mouth. After a few minutes, Naruto got extremely annoyed with the town and screamed, "GOD DAMNIT CAN'T ANYONE HELP!"
Doe: And that's where I'll stop it for now. So how did we do starting out? I'll keep updating if you think we did alright. n.n;
