The LONG wait is over…
(I was having problems logging on to this account these past few days… I don't know why…)
My story, Naruto's Diary I, is finally coming to an end.
…But it's not yet the real end… Trust me…
And so here is the 8th installment… Hope you'll like it!

I have always thought that I am alone…
…But since you're with me… I know I'm not…
"What is it?" Naruto asked me as I inched towards him. He looked worried and sad. I don't know why…
"Uhm…" No matter how I help it I just can't look straight to his eyes! "There's something I wanted to tell you…" I repeated.
"Then… What is it?" Naruto asked me as though he is getting impatient.
"Wait… Are you mad at me?" I asked him.
He did not respond.
The he turned back against me…
"Na-"
"What's that in your hand?" He asked cutting my voice off.
"Uhm… This…" I looked at his diary. "This is your… diary…" I said. Hell! I'm not denying it anymore…
"I thought you threw it away… Why do you still have it?…" He asked almost choking at the word threw.
"Well I didn't throw it away… The truth is I read it…" I admitted.
"You what?" He asked.
"I read it…" I said. He looked at me again, I don't know if he's angry or what, I just didn't looked at his face but rather to his feet.
Sasuke really made me think a lot…
I don't even know if I am blushing at the moment…
I think I'm in love with him diary…
Hell…
I'm pretty sure that I am in love with him! What am I gonna do?...
Could somebody help me realize reality?
"So…" Naruto slowly spoke. "You knew…"
"Well…"
…I wish I could tell him but NO! Damn NO!
I tried to look at him and this time I looked him in the eye.
"I know…" I said.
Naruto looked like crying. Tears started forming in his eyes.
I'm hurting him again…
What will be his reaction if he found out about my feelings?
"I know everything… About your feelings, your questions… I've read them all…" I said. Naruto wiped his eyes instantly just before the tears could fall.
…Probably he'll hate me…
I walked towards him under the light post. I reached out my hand that holds his diary.
"I'm giving it back…" I said.
Naruto looked at the diary and slowly took it from me. I could see his hands shaking.
…I want to hug him real tight and show him how much I love him…
And yes I was departed from his diary…
Naruto hugged his diary and tried to turn away from me. But, I caught his arm.
"Why?" He asked not looking at me…
"Why are you leaving?" I asked him in return.
"I no longer have a face to show you! Go on! Tell everybody that I love you!" He shouted.
"Now you've said it yourself…" I grinned at him. "You told me that you love me… And what will I get if I go telling others that you love me?"
He didn't speak; instead he blushed and turned his head away from me.
"Your grasp kills me." He then said.
"Oh… Sorry about that…" I said as I loosen my grip on his arm.
For a moment there was silence between the two of us.
"Just let me leave…" He said still hugging the diary on his chest.
"Without letting you know what I feel?" I said confidently at him. He looked at me looking very confused.
"I said I'm giving it back…"
…Will you give it back huh my darling Sasuke?... Eeww… I can't ask him that way hehe…
"What?" He asked.
"You see… You really confuse me too…" I said. "But now I guess I know that I like you too…"
I could see his eyes glow in disbelief.
"You-you…"
"I love you too Naruto" I said.
…Love me Sasuke for Chrisake! Hahaha no no no, that's not the way…
"You… love… me… too?" He asked.
"Yes…" I affirmed.
Again there was silence and it kinda irritates me.
Then Naruto started laughing!
"Wahahahahahahahahahaha!"
He's laughing! Why is he laughing… Wait… THIS COULDN'T BE!
"NARUTO IS THIS A JOKE!" I howled at Naruto who was laughing his ass out on the street.
He wiped the tears in his eyes…
"And you FELL! Gotcha! Now I know that you like me hehehehe…" Naruto laughed again.
I blushed really hard! I can't believe that it was all just a joke! And I incidentally fell for it!
Damn you Naruto…
Naruto looked at me and winked.
"I love you sasuke!" He said as if teasing me.
I could not stand it and I actually ran after him… He was laughing hard while I was pretty embarrassed! If I could only lay my hand on his neck I'll break it!
Then Naruto, due to his speed, fell out of balance and I eventually tripped over at him.
My lips fell over his…
We kissed.
I don't know but we didn't stand for a while…
…We kissed again…
And you know what? Just like Naruto wrote in his diary…
…It tasted GOOD… Real good…
--
Eventually we stood and faced each other blushing…
"Why Naruto?" I asked him… I still can't believe that everything was a joke.
"Well…"
"What are you doing in the streets at this hour?" Someone asked.
I was indeed shocked. How long was he there? Did he hear us? Or saw us kissed?
I looked at the direction where the voice came. It was Shikamaru.
"Oh… Hi Shikamaru…" Naruto said.
"Hnnn…" Shikamaru looked at me. "You look nervous Sasuke…"
"Hmph… Mind your own business Shikamaru…" I said and started to walk away from the two.
Was it just a joke?
"Good night to the two of you…" I said.
It can't be just a joke…
So there I go, walking back to my house with those confused thoughts…

EPILOGUE
The next day I was drinking lemonade…
Then Naruto came to me…
"Sasuke… I lost the diary… Probably in the streets last night when we were running..." Naruto said looking aghast.
"So what? I don't care…" I smirked at him. "After all… It's a fake right?"
"No it isn't…"
I spout the lemonade I was drinking out of my mouth…

END
