Acrimonious:I'm really happy, I never
thought I could get reviews on that short thing. And since I love you
oh so much I'm gonna update now! Fast huh?
Troubled thoughts.
The rain was poring down as is someone had cut a big hole in the sky. Naruto was still sitting on the bench; he was wet from head to toe. He just sat there, expressionless, and stared out in the space of nothing. Why was he alone? Why didn't anybody care about him? The thoughts whirled around in his head.
'You're always in the way.' The words echoed in his head, the voice sounded too close.
'Can't you do anything right?' He turned his head to see if someone was actually talking to him.
'I hate you' The blonde winced, the painful words lingered in his head. He got up from the bench and looked at the Hokage monument with empty eyes. The faces carved into the stone wall seemed to look down on him, judging him. Why did he even try to become the Hokage? Nobody would recognize him anyway, so why did he try so hard? A boom of thunder made the reality crash down on his shoulders.
'Maybe I should go home now, it's no point of being here.'
The roads were muddy by the water that had cut through the earth surface making small paths that would in the end ruin them. When the hard raindrops hit the ground the mud splashed up on the bottom edge of his pants, but he didn't care, he was already wet from head to toe by the rain so a little mud wouldn't do him any harm. He still couldn't believe it. Sasuke didn't die from Hakus needles. And he still couldn't believe that Sasuke still hated him.
Naruto had come to the park early in the morning to think about what happened. He thought about it the whole day but didn't seem to understand why. Sasuke had jumped in front on the attack just to save him. So why did Sasuke still hate him? He didn't know. His promise to himself was going to harder to keep than he thought. His mask was a defence mechanism that he just couldn't get rid off.
The clouds had darkened as had Naruto's mood. His usually cherry smile faltered until it totally disappeared. The people in the park had started walking to their homes when they noticed the dark clouds. Since after the day they got to know that Naruto knew about the kyuubi they had started to treat him even worse. Naruto didn't mind though, he understood them in some wicked way. The villagers had stopped ignoring him which would probably be a good thing but instead of ignoring they threw the hateful word in his face instead of behind his back. So in a way he was acknowledged. Naruto laughed bitterly at the thought. He looked back up at the sky.
'It's pretty drastic how the weather changes, from clear blue sky to grey and cloudy in just...6 hours...' He went into his apartment and took of his wet clothes and threw them into the laundry basket, he would have to wash them soon, except for the fact that the laundry basket was so full that the clothes was falling out of it the wet clothes would probably rot if he didn't take care of them soon. So there he stood, in the middle of the apartment, butt naked. It was cold in the apartment, since a long time ago the radiators had given out and Naruto didn't know how to fix it. The landlady sure as hell wouldn't give him any help. He went to the toilet to take a shower when he passed a mirror. He stopped for a second and turned towards the mirror and glared at his reflection. He looked down at his stomach where the red spiral appeared when he used his chakra. At the moment it didn't show.
"It's all your fault, stupid fox." If you wouldn't have been standing close to him you wouldn't have heard the hateful whisper, but you would however noticed the tears that had started to water up his blue eyes.
The water tickled when it went down his body. 'I think I'll make some ramen after this' he thought and started to wash his golden hair. This whole day had been awful. He had nothing to do all day long since Kakashi had told them to take a break after the mission so he had spent his whole day in the park. He should've been training. The water was starting to get cold, not that it was warm to begin with. He heard a light knock on the door and frowned.
'What? Who would come to me? In this weather? At this hour?' Naruto went out of the shower and took a towel and wrapped it around his waist. He went to the door, kind of pissed because he didn't know that you could really enjoy a shower, even though it was just a lukewarm shower turning cold. He opened the door and looked at the person. It was quite dark outside and he could barely see his visitor. The person took a step forward into the light.
A white porcelain face framed by raven bangs, a perfect straight nose, high cheekbones and pale, pink lips. Ebony eyes met his own.
"Sasuke�"
TBC?
Acrimonious: Cliffhanger! Moahaha...okay not really, just almost...Yes, I'm sticking with the short chapters! But at least I'm updating kinda quick, right?
