Chapter Four: Spirale

Naruto didn't know how long he sat there, but when Sasuke's eyes finally opened, he didn't care how long he had been there. Sasuke blinked, once, twice, and then was tackled by the blonde. Burying his face into Sasuke's shoulder, Naruto sobbed quietly.

"S-sasuke."

Black eyes looked questioningly at the person latched onto him. His mind was still spinning. Suddenly, instinct kicked in. He pushed the blonde away from him.

"Who… are… you?" He growled, not liking how this boy had just touched him.

Sakura looked confused for only a moment, until she turned to Naruto, eyes downcast.

"Sometimes, after a sleep that long, one can forget their memory for a while. No one really knows how long it may take for it to return. It depends on the vampire, really."

"What are you people talking about?" Sasuke interrupted. "And why am I here….

"And who.. am I?" he whispered more to himself than the others.

"Uchiha Sasuke." Sakura supplied. The dark haired boy glanced at her.

"What am I doing here?" Sasuke seemed oblivious to the blonde who had sat back down, hunched over in his chair. The only people who concerned him were the ones who would answer his questions.

"You've been asleep for seventy-five years. You're a vampire. He's your ex-lover." She motioned to Naruto. "Who has stayed by your side and faced so many fucking dangers, that, Sasuke, if you don't remember real soon, I may be forced to eat you."

Naruto finally glanced up again, eyes deep and blue, like the ocean, were met with gray and black ones, like a storm. The world seemed to stop; the only thing that mattered were the other's eyes. Sasuke's face was suddenly overcome with a confused expression.

"N-naruto?" He asked hesitatingly.

"Y-yeah?" Naruto mumbled back, hope springing within him again.

"What… what happened?"

.x.X.x. Germany, 1930 .x.X.x.

"Let's go out," Naruto asked, eyes dancing as he looked at Sasuke.

"Just where do you presume we could go at this hour?" Sasuke rolled his eyes. There was nothing you could do this late.

"Let's go to the park."

Sighing, the dark haired vampire let himself be drug along by the blonde. Naruto had a smile on his face while Sasuke scowled at the fact that he was actually going along with another one of the blonde's riddiculous (yet somehow adorable) ideas.

The streets were completely barren except for the two of them, and it was rather quite. As they arrived at the local park, Naruto made his way over to the plain metal swings.

Sasuke stared at him.

"What?" Naruto said, tilting his head to the side.

"You're so damn cute." Sasuke smirked, before walking closer to the blonde. Naruto took a step back, before he was met with the rattle of a chain. Glancing back, he noticed he had bumped into one of the swings. He took a seat, looking up at Sasuke.

Sasuke, smirk still in place, leaned down to the blonde and placed his lips to Naruto's. It was a soft kiss, not something they'd normally expect of the other.

Naruto felt Sasuke nibble at his bottom lip, and, in response, opened his mouth slowly. The two stood there for who knows how long, until Naruto had to stop, cursing the need for air as he did so.

"Why'd you want to come to the park anyways?" Sasuke took the swing next to Naruto, and they both slowly began to rock back and forth.

"I don't know. I guess I just wanted to see what you would look like at a park," he smiled.

"Well? Did I live up to your, expectations?" Sasuke laughed quietly.

Leaning towards the other swing, Naruto placed a soft kiss on Sasuke's nose. "Yeah you did.


"You're such a hopeless romantic." Sasuke rolled his eyes, but a grin still broke out on his face.

"Yeah, I try."

.x.X.x. Hokkaido, Present Day .x.X.x.

"…What happened?" Sasuke asked again, but that spark that had been there for an instant was gone.

He looks like he's afraid, Sakura noticed.

"What's the last thing you remember?" Naruto asked quietly.

"…I..Itachi.. He.. He had just…" Sasuke looked away, embarrassed. Naruto had never seen him like this. It was like this was a completely different person, soft and shy and young.

"Sakura, if he can say Itachi's name like that and not want to shread thirty humans, he definitely doesn't remember everything.. He's not the same Sasuke." The pain in Naruto's voice make Sakura shake.

It was so damn hard for him. Naruto could've at least of been happy this time! She didn't usually cry. Hell, it had been a few centuries since she did, but she couldn't help it. She clenched her fists she allowed herself a minute of weakness. Naruto sat, taking no notice, so she raised her hand and furiously wiped them away.

"What are you talking about?" Sasuke said once more, this time annoyance lacing his voice. What the hell were these damn people babbling about, and where was Itachi!

"S-sasuke." Naruto lifted his head up and looked into his eyes again. "Itachi killed.. He killed everyone you loved. Don't you remember that? Don't tell me.. You still love him as well? Don't tell me that you forgot what he did to you…"

Sasuke suddenly went rigid. The words Naruto had said were like an electric shock through his spine. Itachi. His head spun, an he felt sick. Suddenly, there was a searing pain in the back of his head. Sasuke reached up his hands, trying to claw it away, when Naruto suddenly leaned forward and pinned his wrists above his head.

"Sakura, what's wrong with him?" he asked in a worried voice.

"His memories are probably starting to come back." she said, not sounding worried at all. "That would cause anyone to go through some kind of shock. Naruto… just what does he not want to remember?"

"What are you talking about.." Naruto's glance fled to the floor, Sasuke now lay still, his eyes closed, his breath coming out as a short rasps.

"There's always a reason someone loses their memories. What's Sasuke's?" She was only met with silence, the only sound in the room was Sasuke's breathing. "Naruto… tell me. Please."

Naruto was silent for another moment, before he smiled sadly. "He… he was in love with someone before me. Someone who he shouldn't have been in love with."

"Who?" Sakura asked, she had never known much about the dark haired man. Just that he had meant everything to Naruto.

That smile was still on Naruto's face as he stared down at Sasuke. "He did something he was ashamed of. He hated himself for it. He… he fell in love with… Itachi."

.x.X.x. Germany, 1929 .x.X.x.

"Dear brother, what are you reading?" Uchiha Itachi asked as he glanced over his brother's shoulder.

"Nothing you'd be interested in." an innocent, seventeen year old Sasuke laughed. "It has nothing to do with women or wine."

"I'm shocked you think so low of me." Itachi said, mock-hurt in his voice. Sasuke chuckled, his innocent laughter resounding about the walls of the Uchiha library.

Itachi reached over and snatched the book away from the younger boy. Sasuke stood up from his chair, glaring at the book that was held way over his head.

"Give it back, Itachi."

"You'll have to take it from me." Itachi grinned as Sasuke tried to jump up to reach the book, missing each and time.

"Tsk, tsk. I'm so disappointed in you."

Sasuke growled and jumped as high as he could, fingertips brushing the spine of the book before gravity took its' toll and he came crashing down with a loud thud against his brother. The collision caused them to both go spiraling into the nearest book shelf. It tumbled over as well, almost landing on them, as books were scattered and thrown about.

Sasuke, laying on his brother, covered in books, was uncomfortably pressed against the other boy. Itachi let out the breath he had been holding. The room was getting darker, and the fading sun cast a dark orange glow around the walls.

"Sasuke?" Itachi asked carefully.

"Y-yeah?" Sasuke stuttered, but slapped himself mentally. Why was he so nervous! It was just his brother for gods sake.

"Do you love me, Sasuke?" Itachi asked, looking up at Sasuke's face, his eyes dark and questioning.


He didn't know what to say. Itachi sounded nervous as well. And why was Sasuke even thinking about this! Of course he loved Itachi. He was his brother.

But, what worried Sasuke was the thought that, maybe, that wasn't the question his brother was asking. Maybe, when he said 'love,' he had found out about Sasuke's secret. The one he kept locked away. Behind the bars of his mind. Suddenly shaking, Sasuke turned away, refusing to meet Itachi's eyes.

"You… you do don't you?" Itachi couldn't keep the smirk from his voice. He lifted a hand to Sasuke's chin, before forcing the other boy to look at him. His face was sprawled in red.

"I-Itachi.."

"Don't worry, little brother." Itachi smirked, before leaning forward and placing his lips eagerly to the smaller boys.
