Title: Sinking But No One Helping
Summery: Sasuke is all alone, and is spiraling down a tunnel of depression, loneliness and self hate. It's up to Naruto to take him out of it. Yaoi, NaruSasu.
Warning: Yaoi. Don't like don't read
Speaking "Dun Dun Dun"
Thinking 'Ding Ding Ding'
Sasuke's P.O.V
It'd been a week since the ah…'Incident', or more commonly known as when I tried killing myself.
True to his word, Naruto had not told anyone about what happened that day, for I which I was grateful.
I was getting ready to head of to the meeting place, the park where the bridge over the river was. I liked that place a lot, it's my favorite place to go when I want to be alone or think.
Kakashi had said that we had a mission and that we were to meet at 9:00am. It was nearly 10:00am when I was about to leave, but it wasn't as if I was late, after all Kakashi was always late.
Since the 'Incident' I've changed a bit, I've become more open, and less moody and more warm you might say. Warm as in I'm not as cold as I was before. I seem to be acting more like a person of my age, then I did before. That didn't of course mean that I'd start acting like Naruto any time soon.
I reached the meeting place to find no one there yet, so I sat by the tree and dozed off, only waking when Sakura came.
"Hi Sasuke-kun! What are you doing?" Sakura asked me.
"Meditating. I need to be alone Sakura." I lied to her, I know, but I couldn't deal with her today.
"Oh, okay, I'll just go by the river, it looks so pretty from the bridge!" Sakura took the hint, thank god! She walked over to the bridge, which was a fair bit away from where I was, but not that far at the same time.
I was preparing to doze off again with the pretence of 'meditating' when I heard that cute, adorable, loudmouth Naruto arrive.
I saw Naruto talking to Sakura, I couldn't quite make out what they were saying, before Naruto came bounding over to where I was.
I gave him a small smile as he grinned at me.
"Hey Sasuke, a.ka. Mr Anti-Social! What you doing? And don't say you were meditating, 'cause I can tell you've just woken up!"
I grinned at him slightly. "You know me too well Naruto."
"I think I know you more then I'd like to!" Naruto grinned at me again, and I knew he was just joking.
"Bloody hell, is that 'oh so excellent Sensei who's always on time' ever gonna get here?" Naruto asked after about 20 minutes, slightly disgruntled.
I was about to answer when suddenly there was a 'Pop' and lo and behold, Kakashi Sensei arrived.
By then Sakura had walked over to us and both Sakura and Naruto yelled out "You're Late!" at Kakashi Sensei while pointing at him.
Kakashi Sensei merely laughed and said,
"Ah, it wasn't my fault honest! The dog across the road made me fetch his ball for him!"
"Riiight." We all said, each giving him a disbelieving look while Kakashi Sensei merely scratched the back on his head in an amused fashion.
"Well, down to business. Looks like we've got two missions as most of the other teams have already either gone on a mission or have too many missions as it is. That means we're gonna have to split you into pairs, and before you ask, I've already picked the pairs so you'll have no choice. Sakura, you'll be with me and as for you two," here he looked at me and Naruto, "you'll both be working together."
"You and Naruto will be traveling towards Hidden Mist Village, there is a plant that is urgently needed for an antidote that we've run out off, so you'll need to collect as much as possible. Oh and watch over for any rouge ninjas, they normally circle the entrance to Hidden Mist, but you shouldn't really meet them as you'll be stopping about 10 feet away from Hidden Mist, but I still want you to be careful of your surroundings okay? And if you run into trouble then shoot some fire or something in the sky, make a signal and I'll come to you as soon as possible. Okay?"
We both looked at Kakashi before nodding resolutely, grim looks of determination on both of our faces.
"As for Sakura and I, we'll be dropping something off at Sand Village and collecting something of importance as well. Be careful you two, okay?" Kakashi addressed the last sentence towards me and Naruto.
"We will." I answered for Naruto and I.
"Good, we'll all meet here in four days time at 7:00pm okay? That should give us enough time to get our missions complete."
We walked together for a bit till we came to a fork in the road.
"Well, this is where we part. Remember you two, keep your guard up." Kakashi advised us. Then with a wink and smile, Kakashi walked onto the right path with Sakura while I and Naruto took the left path.
