-1Rain or Tears 5

After parting with Naruto, Sasuke headed for his home. I think I'll tell him my feelings tomorrow at the festival once and for all. I've been putting it off because I didn't want to endanger our friendship, but I think that no matter what Naruto feels, he'll accept it. I want him to know how I feel. A smile grew on the boy's face. Suddenly, realization hit him. Shoot! I forgot to ask him if he wanted to go to the festival tomorrow with me! Sasuke ran all the way back to Naruto's house and was going to knock on the door until he realized it was already open. That's weird, Naruto isn't THAT absent minded. Worry grew inside Sasuke as he carefully entered. Fearing the worst, Sasuke hurried to Naruto's room. What he found horrified him to the very core.

"SASUKE IS MINE"

Sakura dove at Naruto and stabbed him in the arm with her kunai. Sasuke yelled for her to stop as he ran over and restrained her.

"Sakura! What are you doing?" Sasuke yelled as he struggled to hold the girl.

"I have to kill him! Otherwise you will never notice how much we love each other! I've always loved you! And if I kill Naruto, SO WILL YOU!" Sakura kicked her captor and lunged once again to stab the blond boy.

"NO!" Sasuke cried helplessly, as Naruto took a hit in the chest.

"Sakura, I'm sorry we ignored you. You have to understand, I love Sasuke too. But if it would make you happy, I'd gladly step back and let…you…have a chance…" Naruto fainted from the bloodloss. Sakura's eyes widened. What have I done… Sakura ran from the apartment quickly, tears trailing her path.

"Naruto!" Sasuke carefully picked the bleeding Naruto and ran full speed to Tsunade's office.

-----Next day!-----

Naruto woke up, opening his eyes only to see Sasuke right next to his bed looking extremely relieved.

"Sasuke?"

Sasuke quickly got up and hugged Naruto, although it was extremely awkward because the blond boy was in a hospital bed. "I love you. Please don't ever make me worry like that again." Naruto smiled and kissed his new lover.

"I love you too."

Sasuke and Naruto out of the hospital holding hands. Sakura watched them from the trees, eyes full of regret. They are truly happy… It's not my place to interfere. Sakura disappeared as the 2 boys walked to the ramen stand.

A/N

Yuki chan here once again. Sorry for the long delay and abrupt ending. I wasn't able to think of anything to write for the longest time. Until today that is. Managed to write chapter 4 and 5 in one go. Although originally I was going to make them one chapter, but I thought separating them would enhance the dramatic effect. Anyway, yeah. I also wanted to end this before a year passed by. So yeah. Hope it didn't suck too bad.
