"How much longer is this going to take old bat?" Naruto cried out from his bed in the hospital two days later.
The old Naruto was back and was already pumped on finding Sasuke; though he had been for a while now. Tsunade sighed and checked the boy's wounds again. They were healing very fast and really; he didn't need to be in a hospital bed but she wasn't going to tell him that. "Listen brat, you took quite a beating and if you don't let your wounds heal up, your going to get worse."
Naruto sighed as he rolled over in his bed. 'Why am I just sitting here?….Sasuke needs me.' He thought to himself with a small blush of pink appearing on his face.
"No….I need him.." Naruto muttered under his breath as Tsunade stood up and began to leave.
"I'll check on ya' in the morning m'kay?"
"Whatever…" Naruto replied, waiting for Tsunade to sleep from sight before he hopped out of the hospital bed.
Putting his weapons and normal clothes back in there spots, the blonde jumped out the window and down into the forest beside him. 'Your back…but why?' Naruto wondered as he sniffed the air.
-Meanwhile-
Sasuke sat on top of the highest limp of the oak tree, his red eyes gazing a crossed the woods as he waited. 'Your going to come back for me? Did I not tell you it was worthless?' The raven questioned, as if the blonde would answer him, in his mind. 'However, I am interested to see how much you have grown…dear fox boy.' He thought, a smirk creeping onto his facial features. "Come to me…my boy…I've missed you as well…"
Not much more then a second later could he see two crystal eyes staring up at him from below. "Sasuke-kun!"
Sasuke could have laughed at his child ness. The boy looked up at Sasuke with angry yet hopeful eyes. 'Same old Naruto Uzumaki.' Slipping off the branch, the raven dropped behind Naruto and put a kunai up to his neck before the sunny blonde knew what had happened. "Did I not tell you that I was going to kill you the next time I see you?"
"Sasuke….no…don't do it! Don't give in!" The boy pleaded.
"You should have said that when you first saw me. Might have worked back then…oh that's right…you did…" He whispered in the blonde's ear .
"Yeah, and you with no common sense ran off to find that damn snake." Naruto shouted behind him, only to feel the kunai sink into his throat a bit, causing warm red liquid to flow from the wound.
"That damn snake is my master now, so I'd watch my tongue if I were you."
"Sasuke…why…tell me why…" Naruto said as he had that day so many years ago.
"Because, I need power and your village can't give that to me…"
Naruto gripped Sasuke's arm suddenly and flipped the boy over him, securing the kunai so he held it now. As the raven turned, the blonde tackled him to the ground and help the boy's hands over his head. "Sasuke! Damn it!" The blonde cried as he looked down at the evil smile upon his face.
"Sasuke! Wake the hell up! You know how much pain your leaving caused me?"
"The villagers pick on you? Aww poor blonde….you should have came with me then…"
"It wasn't the fucking villagers! It was you!"
"And how could I hurt you if I wasn't near you? That lonely without me?"
"….Not lonely…" Naruto suddenly whispered, his face softening as he lowered it next to Sasuke's, "Heart broken."
Sasuke's eyes widened as the boy whispered the last part of his sentence in his ear.
'What-what is he talking about?' Sasuke thought, his own heart paining at the hurt in the blonde's voice. "I want Sasuke…I want Sasuke more then anything…come back home…please?" Naruto asked releasing the boy's arms.
Mistake. Sasuke grabbed Naruto's shirt collar and threw him off, stepping on his back after he landed. "Sasuke…is no more….or at least the one you know. Goodbye Naruto….we'll meet again…" He whispered, leaning down and kissing the boy's cheek.
Naruto scrambled to his feet as Sasuke disappeared in a burst of flame, tears in his eyes as he held his wounded neck. "Sasuke…."
