A/N: Well here we are. I wrote this in a really bad mood thanks to my dad and memories that came up of my ex Jeff. So if it in anyway is unacceptable I can/will redo it if that is what you all like. I think it's ok if not awesome. By far the best chapter (besides the lemon). I would like to also point out that in the last chapter the SUV thing made me laugh. I may have forgotten to say this but this story has been AU (obviously) but yeah, it made me remember and I started laughing. Ok in the beginning of the last chapter it gave you a look into the future. Well in this chapter it gives you a sneak peak at what will happen in the first part. Well I think this is long enough, so I'll finish what I was going to say at the bottom. Hope you all enjoy.

Disclaimer: I will never own Naruto. Otherwise it'd turn out kind of like this...

WARNING: TOTAL ANGST! Not saying what all is gonna happen, but if you do not like unhappy endings then pleas don't read this. I will not accept flames for this chapter! violence (somewhat) and cliche kinda...

Dedicated to: Dad, mom, and Jeff Sanders (Ex bf). I hate you all...fuck all of you for what you've done to my life.

Listen To Your Heart pt.6

-flashback-

"I...no forget it."

"No...please continue. Sasuke, this is the first time you've even spoken for a year. Something big is on your mind. Let's talk about it."

"I found...this boy the other day. He was getting beat up and I stopped it. He was beaten up pretty badly so I took him to my place."

"Why, Sasuke, why show emotions to a complete stranger? Especially since you've never shown any form of compassion towards anyone else since the incident."

"Because...he's like me. Completely alone...and those eyes. Those eyes are so...wanting."

-end flashback-

Present time same day (as last chapter)

We've been running non-stop for about three or four hours now. My eyes lock onto my Naru-Chan's once again as I motion for us to stop and rest. We come to a halt and lean against a tree trunk. Our bodies slide down into a sitting position next to each other. After about five minutes, my panting stops to a point where I can talk.

"Wha...what time is it, Usuratokachi?" I ask, breathing somewhat heavily.

"It's -pant- six-forty-five, Teme." Naruto replies, still trying to gain full control of his breathing.

We've been moving longer than I thought. It's already close to dark as the sun is already setting. Without a tent or any shelter we'll have to sleep under the stars. Groaning slightly as I get up, I offer my hand to Naruto which he slaps away.

"I can get up by myself thank you very much, baka Sasuke." he says as I scoff.

Foolishly, he jumps up, causing him to get a head-rush. He tries to take a step forward and falls forward. I sigh and catch him in my arms, waiting for him to get out of his daze.

"Dobe."

"Teme."

"Koi."

"Fu-oh. Heh, I love you too Sasuke."

See that's the thing. I can say one-just one-word and he can go off of it just like that. That's one thing I admire about him. No matter what situation we're in-whether it's running, chasing, killing, etc.-he only shows one emotion. Happiness. It's either that or sheer stupidity, but I'm thinking it's the first one. I stand there holding him not wanting to let go or move, too caught up in his eyes. Those eyes. Whenever I look into them I see a world totally different then the one we're in. A world of bliss, anticipation, love, and energy. No longer do they hold the look of want or longing.

-Flashback-

"Today was the explanatory meeting."

"Oh? Did something happen, Sasuke?"

"Well, I now it was an accident-or at least I think it was-but...he kissed me."

"Naruto?"

"Yes...the one and only."

"Did you get angry or feel like hitting him like when Sakura tried?"

"No..."

"No?"

"It...felt good. I liked the closeness we shared, if only for those four seconds."

-end flashback-

"Our first kiss..."

"Wha...Sasuke-Kun, are you ok?"

"Yeah...just shut up and kiss me Naru-Chan."

I lean down to kiss my Kitsune when rustling and footsteps are heard in the direction we were coming from. We look at each other questioningly and I pull him up and he straightens his clothes. For the second time today we run. We run until it's too dark to see the path and when we can no longer hear the footsteps from behind. Naruto and I knew it was either Duryan or Kouji, most likely both.

Meaning we were caught. This is why we ran. Not out of fear of getting hurt, but out of fear we'd end up hurting them. My little Kitsune and I choose branches next to each other high up-as not to be seen from ground level-since together we couldn't fit on one without it breaking.

"G'night Sasuke-Kun." Naruto calls over to me after stifling a yawn.

"Goodnight my koi. I love you." I reply quietly, too tired to be loud.

"I love you too."

I'm not sure what he falls asleep dreaming about, but I can only hope that it's me. I fall asleep, after a while of making sure those footsteps didn't start up again, to a world where Naruto and I are back in Konoha. Not only that, but we're in a wedding chapel. Before sleep completely consumes me, I mumble out 'I'll ask him tomorrow...'.

"Sasuke! ...Sasuke-Kun, where'd you go?" I can hear my dear little Koi call out stupidly.

"Baka, I'm right here." I say trying to reach over to the next branch.

My arm it can't-won't move. My eyes snap open and I realize I'm not up in the tree from last night. In fact, I'm not even anywhere NEAR it. No, I'm tired to a tree. Rope covers my whole body and I can't even move my head side to side. Again, off in the distance I hear Naruto cry out frantically for me. This time, more sadness in his voice.

"No! No no no no no no NO! This wasn't supposed to happen! WHAT THE FUCK! Aarrrrrrrrgggggg!" I cry out in frustration.

I want to call out for Naruto, but it could be a trap and I don't want him getting sucked into it. I can already tell 'm the bait. This pisses me off even more and I start to twist and move my hands underneath the rope cocoon.

"Aw, poor Sasuke-Kun. What wasn't supposed to happen? You being kidnaped in the middle of the night, taken from the one you love, on your way back to Konoha? Is that it?" Says an oh-so familiar voice belonging to Kouji, as he hops down from above me somewhere.

"You son-of-a-bitch! I swear to god if you hurt Naruto I'll fuckin' kill you!"

"Now Sasuke, you're not in the position to be making threats. ALTHOUGH I AM!"

I push my head as far back as it will go as he thrusts a kunai right next to my adams apple.

"Do you know the emotional stress you've put me through in the past twenty-four hours? My little brother was killed in a car accident on our way after you two to see what the fuck is up. Because of you...no. Blaming you is too easy. You're my mistake. That Naruto is his mistake. That retard is what caused my brothers death. But it's because of both of you my life's fucked up worse now."

I sit back emotionless as he rants on and on. It's not the first time I've been yelled at or blamed for something, but it sure has been a while. While he's releasing is thoughts vocally, I manage to free my right hand out of it's holding place and inch it to my kunai pouch. Kouji yells at me to say something, but I don't know what. I'm too concentrated on cutting through this rope. That is, until he removes the kunai from my throat and jams it through the rope and into my right knee. Thus, causing me to scream in agony and nearly drop my kunai.

I an feel his kunai pierce all the way through my leg. Trying to take my mind off the searing pain in my leg, I bite down on my tongue. After a few seconds, blood is strongly tasted and a little bit falls out over into the corner of my lip and down my chin. Kouji then waves the kunai in my face and says something else. This time I listen.

"Now listen to me very closely Uchiha. Call your...boyfriend, Make him follow your voice so we can all have a chat."

"After what you just did to my leg y-" I don't get to finish as I hear Naruto nearly choke as he calls my name holding back tears.

Because I finally have a plan, I call back. Much to my displeasure, Kouji smirks and jumps up overhead again as Naruto comes bursting through some bushes almost in tears. Once he sees the blood dripping down from my leg onto the ground that "almost" part no longer applies. Slightly stumbling, he comes over to me and kisses my lips chastely before trying to untie me.

Kouji, being the bastard that he is, swings down from the side and kicks Naruto with both feet right in his side, causing him to fly into a nearby tree. I hear him groaning and trying to move, which is good and I sigh in relief. By some miracle my kunai finally cuts through the rope, freeing my body and I lunge at Kouji. We fall to the ground and start to roll over and over, fighting each other with fists.

When I had lunged at him our kunai had flown from us-out of reach-causing a struggle to get tp them first. The sneaky bastard gripped my bad knee, making me yell out as a mass amount of pain washes over my body. This gives him enough time to crawl over to the two kunai on the ground. He's turned his back on me, giving me an ample chance to take another kunai from my pouch. Kouji jumps towards me and time seems to stand still.

Alone in this house again tonight
I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me

Everything. Everything goes into slow motion as he goes from a leap in mid-air, o his stomach being pierced by my kunai, to the kunai he held dropping on either side of my head, to his body becoming lifeless and resting on top of mine.

I'll never get over you walkin' away..

I slowly push the dead weight off of me and weakly stand up. Leaning to one side as not to fall over and to avoid a lot of pain, I limp my way over to a dizzy, groaning, confused Naruto. Carefully I lean down and examine his side. No broken ribs, or fractures, he'll just have bruises for a few weeks. As I pull him up to his feet I smile. Not smirk-why ruin the moment with a smirk when I can truly smirk-a smile, and I aim it right at Naruto and he embraces me tightly.

I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show

And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self control

But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain

From my eyes

Tonight I wanna cry...

Kami, how I just want to stay like this forever. Always holding the dearest thing to me. My Naruto.

-Flashback-

"So tell me, Sasuke. How is your relationship with Naruto?"

"Great. It's our one month..."

"Anniversary?"

"Yeah that...and I'm taking him out for ramen."

"You know, Sasuke, these things take time for people like you."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, it's hard for you to get attached, to love. Like how you just couldn't say anniversary. Do you love him?"

"No! ...Yeah, kind of...with all my heart."

"Have you told him so?"

"No, not yet. I was going to tonight."

"Well, if you do then I was wrong and our sessions are over cause that means you're completely healed."

-End flashback-

Would it help if I turned a sad song on?

"All By Myself" would sure hit me hard now that you're gone

Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters

It's gonna hurt before it gets better

But I'll never get over you...hiding this way...

"Nnggg...Naruto, let me go. There's uh...something important I need to ask you." I say, prying the Kitsune off me.

"Sure, Sasuke, what is it?" he asks confused.

Cuz' I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show...

I bend down, crouching on my good knee, while using the other one to support mine and Naruto's hands.

"Naruto Uzumaki...will you marry me, Sasuke Uchiha?"

And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self control

But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain

From my eyes

Tonight I wanna cry...

For a long time he is silent. The same seemed to go for everything else. I could no longer hear birds, or the wind, nothing. For a second I think I have gone deaf, until he finally speaks.

"Yes," Naruto says, letting a tear fall from his eye and roll down his cheek. "Yes I will marry you Sasuke Uchiha!"

And before I know it I'm up standing-leaning on him for support-and we were kissing. Full out make-out session. Suddenly, Naruto, pulls away, his eyes wide as dinner plates and voice shaky.

"Sa-Sa-su-ke! Behind you!" he screeches as I turn and duck just in time to miss a kunai being swiped towards my head.

I grab his legs and pull on them, making him fall. I get on top and start letting a deep, scary, fury lash out at Kouji's unprotected upper body. My punches knock his head back and forth with each blow. Then suddenly I am forced to stop as another pain spasm shoots through my body.

"Fucker! Naruto run, fast. I'll hold him off!" I yell and clutch the kunai lodged into my upper left arm and pull it out.

"Sasuke I-"

"Naruto, get the fuck out of here! I'll catch up, but you make sure you reach Konoha!" I yell at him while trying to keep a very pissed off Kouji pinned underneath me.

Just as Naruto leaves, Kouji flips us over. Now it is I who is receiving punches to the face. This doesn't go on for long as I take the kunai still clutched in my hand and thrust it right up into Kouji's throat. He coughs and blood sputters out of his mouth before I rip it out and roughly push him off of me. My leg is bleeding still and so is my arm. Quickly I rip my shirt in two and wrap each part around each wound.

As quick as possible I go after Naruto. I'm moving at a slow pace and I shout out in what I think is frustration, but also sounds like agony and start to run. Not like I usually do, but I run at a fast pace, ignoring the massive amounts of pain coming from my leg and arm. Up ahead I see the gates to Konoha through the trees. I shout out trying to sound happy 'I'm coming!' but my voice cracks for a second and makes me sound slightly like our ex-crazed friend Kouji.

I run into the clearing where the gate is and stop with a gasp escaping me. I do not stop by choice, but by force as something pierces through my chest and barely missing my heart. I stare into blank widened white eyes that belong to Neji. Behind him is a wide, teary eyed Naruto with tears running down his face and his mouth agape.

"Why..." is all I say before collapsing onto my knees.

Naruto yells for Neji to run and get help and then runs up to catch me before I fall onto the ground completely. He eases me back and I cough out blood repeatedly.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry! It wasn't supposed to happen Sasuke! Stay with me, please chikuso I need you!"

"Don't -cough- worry. I have no regrets anymore -cough- in life Naruto. All I -cough- all I ever wanted was to make up with you and -cough- get you back. I know that you guys thought I -cough cough- I was Kouji. It's ok...I love you with -cough- ...my heat and soul Usuratokachi."

"Come on Sasuke," heh...he sounds so far away. I can barely hear him now. And everything in my life is flashing before my eyes.

-Flashback-

"So...did you tell him?"

"Yes, and he said the exact same to me."

"What exactly did you two say to each other?"

"I love you with my heart, soul, and every moral fiber of my being."

"Ah...well Sasuke...it seems my work is done. You're finally healed from what happened when you were little."

"Thank you, for all of your help."

-End flashback-

"Come on Sasuke," I faintly hear him say again. "I thought we were going to get married? You said so yourself, hell you even proposed! So come on, try and..." Naruto's sweet voice trails of as I can no longer hear nor speak. My eyes become heavy and droop closed slowly. My pain is gone. I cannot hear, see, speak, or feel anymore. I take one final sniff before finally drifting off and die to the smell of ramen...to the smell of him.

Neji had come back with help a few minutes later. The doctors said that even if they had already been there, Sasuke had lost too much blood to do anything about. It would have been only a matter of time before he died anyways. So I did the only thing I could do at the time. I hugged his lifeless body to my chest and cried into his soft, silky hair. Every so often I could smell cinnamon slightly. His favorite thingy, besides me.

After Iruka and Kakashi came and got me, they took me home. That is all I remember before waking up here in Iruka's bed. Slowly, sullenly I get up and walk to the bathroom. There on the counter is my old best friend.

I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show

And I thought that being strong meant never losin' your self control

But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain

To hell with this pride let it fall like rain

From my eyes

Tonight I wanna cry...

The answer to all my problems. My key back to the only man I had-could ever love. I pick the razor up and slide it across my wrist without a second thought. Of course my stupid ass left the door open and Kakashi walks by and sees me. He sees me turn my head and give a weak smile before dropping to the floor. I love you Sasuke...

-Owari-

Final A/N: Well there it is folks. The infamous ending to Enduring Pain. Now we shall go back to the beginning as soon as I post 'Back In Konoha' the prequal. The first chapter of that will be posted in like...five days. Definately no later then a week! So please read that too! I'm not going to say I'm sorry for writing it out like this. I had every intention of having everyone die, but it just wasn't like this. I wrote it like this cuz at the time I've been in a bad mood. So forgive me for that. The song from the last chapter is called 'Untitled' by Simple Plan. This chapters song is called 'Tonight I wanna Cry' by Keith Urban. So just wanted to let you all know that. I'll be writing a series of random one-shots from time to time inbetween writing 'Back In Konoha' so check those out if you like. THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR WONDERFUL REVIEWS!
