Ok… Here's my reason for not updating quicker:
I have never done my maths homework and thanks to my teacher, I now have to do every single piece of homework I've missed out on. And that is 16 chapters of unfinished work with at least 19 questions in each and 5 mini questions in those! URGH!!!
Other than that… I'm Sowwie…
Disclaimer: I don't not own Naruto. Because if I did, Neji Hyuuga would be my personal slave… and I do not own the Elfen lied storyline
"What?" Sasuke was dumbfounded by the sudden statement sliding off Naruto's tongue.
Naruto's head slowly tilted to the side, his blue eyes boring deep holes into Sasuke's soul. "You heard me, Uchiha."
Sasuke didn't even flinch at the icy cold tone of his voice; Naruto repeated the question again, with one word at a time "Do. You. Love. Me?"
Sasuke opened his mouth to answer but quickly shut it, he did it a few times before his mouth finally clicked shut and stayed like that for a while. The tension in the air was so thick you could practically cut it with a knife, Naruto's deep blue orbs clashed with Sasuke's gorgeous onyx ones in a long staring competition. Sasuke narrowed his eyes in thought and in anger, as did Naruto but his was only in anger.
'What kind of fucking question is that?!' Sasuke mentally hissed at Naruto, his glare getting harsher
"Im not going to burst into flames from your glare…" Naruto smirked when he got the reaction he wanted, a fuming Uchiha.
Sasuke clenched his fists in rage, his palm and fingers getting sore from too much pressure being used on them. Naruto's eyes became almost hypnotizing. Sasuke didn't know when or why he had begun staring into them, he only knew that he couldn't stop. They were a sparkling blue even when his irises turned a bloody red; they were truly a work of art. And yet, right now they seemed so dull, so sad… so emotionless… He had memorized every perfectly sculptured feature of Naruto's body
Naruto's hair was flat yet messy at the same time and framed his tanned face, his horns were petruding slightly from his hair. Yes, he was cute. Yes, he was hot. But Sasuke didn't think those words suited the blonde… mesmerizing… all his features were truly significant. His skin was pure bronze, his hair was pure blonde and his eyes… oh yes, how Sasuke loved his eyes… you wouldn't and couldn't find anyone who would have the same eyes as him, they were just too rare to find.
Love…
The word expresses many feelings according to one's desire. Everyone Sasuke had loved, cherished… admired, had all be killed mercilessly by his insane brother. Other words like disgust, despise… hatred. They all described Sasuke's pure feelings of hate towards his murderous brother, who was still on the loose. Sasuke heart began to ache and burn as images and memories of his deceased loved ones ran fresh through his mind. Hatred and Love clashed together in a fiery angst; the memories began to fog his eyesight as all other sounds faded out. Sasuke could inwardly feel tears welling up inside him, invisible tears were pouring down his cheeks, he couldn't stop them nor did he want to.
Sasuke broke away from his mind-warping fantasy when Naruto's attention seemed to have switched from staring at him to staring down the dark hallway, you could barely see the light glinting off the door handle it was so dark. Sasuke slammed his eyes shut and gave them a rough rub; they were oddly sore and foggy from his strange memory. Naruto stood up straight and stalked over to the large clear window, there were thick dark clouds looming in the air, making it almost seem like night. The birds flew around in circles before nesting peacefully in a nearby tall tree, Naruto watched in an almost hypnotized fashion. "It's dark…"
His voice was soft and not-quite audible, but Sasuke heard it. "Yeah… it is…" Sasuke casually strolled up to the window, beside Naruto. Naruto's elbows were perched up on the windowsill and his chin was being held in his hands as he happily eyed off the sky. Sasuke absent-mindedly watched the blonde diclonius, he actually felt content with staying like this for the whole morning… yet a tiny voice inside himself told him to want this forever.
His blonde eyelashes slowly kicked off the top of his cheeks and he took a long blink, Naruto could hear the far-away rumbling of a storm that happened to be closing in at a rather fast pace. It wouldn't be long before the streets would be flooded with newfound rain of today.
Sasuke forced down his lips from quirking into a smile, he swallowed his smile and stared out the window as well. His mind slowly drifted back to wanting to be like this forever… When did he start feeling attracted to the blonde? He didn't know. Why he felt attracted to another boy? He didn't know. Maybe it was the fact that he could be himself around the blonde, most girls knew him as the cold-hearted lover, which they adore so much. It would take him a while as he would gradually let down his act of coldness and be normal, but that wasn't what he wanted, the blonde wouldn't judge him for being rude or suddenly change his ways and begin to laugh. No, He would just sit back and enjoy it all…
Sasuke refused his body to stop the smile, he wouldn't be judged… so why bother to hide it from him? He smiled down at Naruto softly; Naruto broke his gaze away from the sky and returned his smile with his own grin.
"Naruto…" Sasuke's voice was deep and sounded just a tad to serious for Naruto's liking
"Yes?" Naruto replied instantly, finally standing up right and staring at Sasuke's pale complexion
"Umm…" Sasuke mentally kicked himself from drawing out the long time-waster "Ummm…" Another mentally kicked brain cell was lost; he just couldn't seem to find the right words that were now floating around in his head.
"I… Um" Sasuke mumbled out-loud to no one in particular "I… Uh… Really…"
"…You What?" Naruto asked in a peppy voice
"I…" Sasuke leaned in closer "I…"
Knock, KnockSomeone's knuckles brushed against the hollow door, signaling out two clean and clear knocks. Sasuke stepped away and looked at the door with disgust, he was so close to saying it… Naruto coughed awkwardly and looked at Sasuke expectantly "…You better get that Sasuke"
Sasuke nodded and walked down the hallway, three more knocks echoed after the memory of the last two. Sasuke rested his hand on the silvery knob and jiggled it slightly before opening the door. He was clearly presented by two men, one had silver hair that was spiked up and leaning off to a side, a black mask covered the bottom half of his face while some accessory was keeping his left eye hidden. (A.N: Is it the left eye?) The other man had chocolate brown hair and tanned skin, his hair was tied up in a short, high ponytail and he had a long battle-scar running over the top of his nose. "May I help you?" He trusted his voice not to sound inconsiderate to them two men
Kakashi cleared his throat and held up a badge, which identified himself perfectly "I am Kakashi Hatake"
Iruka held up a badge similar to Kakashi's and announced himself "And I am Iruka Umino…"
Sasuke lazily scanned over the badges and nodded, he stepped to the side as a sign for them to enter but not before he took a quick glance at Naruto, who was peeking around the corner of the wall as he stared at the two un-welcomed visitors. Kakashi sloppily took of his shoes and walked inside, while Iruka did the same right after him –a bit more polite, mind you-. They all sat down on a large sofa in the room next to the room Naruto was in. Sasuke sat on the sofa that was opposite to the one Kakashi and Iruka were sitting on, Sasuke glanced over and noticed Naruto wasn't peeking at them anymore, obviously because he was no longer curious about the two men. Sasuke cleared his throat and started up a conversation.
"Why, may I ask, are you two requesting my presence?" Sasuke spoke highly to the two men, proving he was not here to be dragged around
"Well…" Kakashi started off lazily "We have been informed that you having been keeping a monster here"
Sasuke cocked an eyebrow at him "A monster…?"
"A diclonius" Iruka choked out, Sasuke gave him a rather quizzical look. Iruka sighed and said it again "A diclonius… a human-like creature with horns petruding from their skull, they are equipped with vectors, which are deadly psychic arms."
Sasuke blinked in confusion 'Wait… horns petruding from their skull…?' Sasuke scanned over the sentence in his mind, before finally coming to a slow realization '…Naruto!'
"Hn. why the hell would I have such a monster here?" Sasuke rolled his eyes and leaned back into his sofa, letting his words sink into the people around him. Including Naruto.
Naruto walked backwards into the bench, glasses and other utensils wobbled on the bench as he slid down it. Naruto crumpled to the floor in shock, did Sasuke really mean that…? Was he just a monster to him? Naruto backed into the bench's legs harshly; the force caused a glass to roll on the table and crash to the floor.
The sharp little glass pieces pricked Naruto's palm and fingers, Naruto winced and absent-mindedly scratched out the shards of glass that were stabbed into his fingers. Naruto broke out of his trance with he felt his finger being jabbed with the jagged edge of glass piece. Crimson blood oozed from the peeled skin, Naruto placed his index finger in his mouth and tried to stop the blood. The sore finger stung as more blood seeped into his warm mouth.
Kakashi and Iruka looked in the direction the crash had echoed from, Iruka was the first to speak up. "What was that…?" Sasuke looked over in the direction and mentally cursed knowing whom it was. "Hn. Probably just my…" Sasuke dragged out the 'my' as he thought over all the possible things it could be. A dog? Too rowdy for him. A bird? No way. A cat? Eh… it would have to do… "…Cat…"
Kakashi raised an eyebrow at the questionable answer from the Uchiha, but didn't press on the subject. "I should go clean that up." Sasuke quickly excused himself and entered the room, closing the door behind him. Sasuke sighed and crouched down beside the diclonius, he picked up his bleeding hand and examined it. There were cuts and a few grazes from where the glass had just slightly scratched the surface of his skin; Sasuke pulled Naruto to his feet and dragged him over towards the sink.
Sasuke delicately plucked out the shards from Naruto's hand and washed away the blood; it had looked a lot worse than it actually was. Sasuke saw the cuts begin to heal at a rapid pace; he was slightly taken back by its fast progress to heal. Sasuke shook it off as nothing as he walked over to the shattered glass, and picked up the larger shards while he swept up the small shards. In a matter of seconds, the floor was clean and glass-free; Sasuke pulled Naruto over to a seat away from sight and sat him down on it.
"Okay… I need you to stay here and be quiet. Okay?" Sasuke quickly took his silence as answer; he slid out the door and left it half open. Sasuke walked over to the two patient men and apologized "Sorry. My… cat… had glass in its feet…"
Kakashi nodded and quickly changed the subject "Now… on the matter of the diclonius, we have obtained information from someone that you are keeping it here. Is this true?"
Sasuke was quick to answer, "Why would I be keeping such a thing here?!" He spat out the word 'thing' with extra venom seeping into it.
"Who would even dare… to say this about me?" Sasuke narrowed his eyes in anger
Kakashi and Iruka exchanged glances "The person said not to be identified…" Iruka mumbled out
Sasuke sent them a dirty look and growled, "Well, I have no such thing in my household…"
"Are you sure?" Kakashi asked, tilting his head to the side
"Don't you think I would realize, if a monster was living in my house?" Sasuke's tone was incredibly sarcastic
Kakashi grinned and nodded "I suppose your right…" He turned to Iruka and gave him an expectant look " Shall we be going?"
"A-Aa… Right…" Iruka nodded and stood up with Kakashi
They all politely bowed to each other before Sasuke showed them out. He slowly closed the door and sighed, he slid down the door in a tired fashion. He ran his pale hand through his ravenette hair, his slowly pulled himself up off the floor and walked over to the room Naruto was being held captive in. Sasuke slowly slid the door open as he walked in; it was eerily quiet inside the room…
"Naruto?" Sasuke called out half-heartedly, he gave the room a quick scan only to realize there was no life inside
"Naruto?" Sasuke voice was getting a bit more worried now.
Sasuke stepped into the room more and looked around, he flipped on the light switch as the dark clouds had hid the sun. He absent-mindedly walked around the room, staring at anything and/or everything that seemed to make even the slightest noise. A large gust of wind blew in from nowhere, Sasuke abruptly turned on his heel. His eyes widened at the sight.
Glass was shattered all over the floor, as Sasuke's tall glass window had been smashed to pieces from an incredible force. Blood was speckled over the floor and pieces of glass; no doubt it had been Naruto who had created this mess.
"Had he heard me…? And taken it seriously…?" Sasuke bit his lip, he had never been this nervous in his life
"Naruto… what's going on in your head…?"
xXx
Naruto walked the streets at a fast pace; he was already far from the Uchiha residence. The streets were packed with busy people, the occasional horn blowing sounded from angry drivers. They all must have been trying to get to work before the storm came, Naruto looked up at the almost black sky, the dark clouds swirled and molded into each other as the wind blew. The cold air sent shivers down Naruto's spin, he wasn't wearing much in the way for warmth, and the Uchiha's shirt and bed pants weren't much to stop the cold air from reaching his skin. But it's the thought the counts.
Passer-by's were either staring or gawking at is horns, that really made him feel strange. A child's laughter rang through out his head; he turned his head casually to the side to see a rough young boy laughing at him. The boy's pig-like nose crinkled up every time he snorted from laughing, there were freckles speckled over his cheeks and nose and he was rather chubby. "Haha… you look like a freak!"
Naruto stopped walking when the boy pointed a fat finger at his horns, he narrowed his eyes in anger when the boy's laughter did not fade out from his glare. Naruto wielded his long vectors, as he was ready to attack and kill the fat savage of a boy. A large woman came bounding up to the two, the concrete literally jiggled when she placed her foot down. She smacked the boy over the head and used an angry tone when addressing him "Takato!" The boy looked up at her in a sad way.
"Y-yes… mama?" his tone was overly laced with fake sadness, you could almost see it
"How dare you say something like that to someone!" She turned to Naruto and smiled "My deepest apologies sir, he sometimes forgets his manners!"
She tugged on his earlobe causing him to yelp in pain "Im sorry sir!"
"Hn." Naruto grunted and placed his vectors away
Naruto rudely turned away and continued to walk, anything and/or everything… could set him into a fit of blind rage right now. Naruto absent-mindedly kicked a can across the pathway; memories were flooding his mind and fogging his head with untold memoirs. He kicked the can harder as the voice of his brother rang through his ears. All the promises he had made… they were all lies. He made him who he is, Naruto was forced to fend for himself when his brother had been taken, and it forced Naruto to hate the human race…
"Kitty…?" A little voice broke Naruto's chain of thoughts
Naruto looked down to see a little girl staring up at him, she had chocolate brown eyes and short black hair that whipped out the sides cutely, she was idly playing with the string of a large red balloon between her fingers. She blinked her large eyes cutely and sent him an adorably large smile, her eyes crinkled up from the smile and she took a step forward to show him her smile better.
"Kitty!" Her smile got larger when his eyes widened in surprise
"What…?!" Naruto spat out his words at her, not caring if they happened to hurt her feelings
She nodded and crinkled her eyes again "Kit--"
Her head fell off her shoulders, blood spewed everywhere and over everything around them. Her blood soaked and decapitated body fell limply forward and on to the concrete below it, her smile never faded off her face as she died. The large red balloon was now tainted with her blood as it gently floated into the air and was carried away with the wind.
"Im not a cat." Naruto spat out and stepped on and over her petite body, ignoring the blood the coated the soles of his feet
A petrified scream echoed from behind him, obviously a lady had seen what he had done to the girl. The scream began to die down as the person became racked with sobs and coughs; Naruto smirked and continued to ignore the lady's cries for help and attention. Naruto picked up his pace and began to run, not wanting to be caught and put back in that horrible place again.
The lady's screams and plea's faded out as Naruto entered the forest, it was a lot darker than usual and hard to see anything, but Naruto kept on walking deeper into the forest. Naruto stepped on a twig and it broke beneath his toes, leaves and bugs were squished and broken by his feet as he continued to walk. Naruto ran a hand through his blonde hair and sighed, he walked himself to a slow halt and sighed again. Naruto closed his eyes and gripped on to his horns, he roughly tugged at them in an attempt to pull them off.
"Why me…" He grunted as he only tugged had on his horns
Naruto opened his eyes and took a step backwards when he sensed the presence of another; he looked from side to side trying to find the mystery guest. You'd think he'd be the only one brave enough to step into the dark forest alone, but you'd be wrong. The person stepped out from behind a tree and smiled evilly at him, in their hands was a single red rose that was playfully being rolled around in between their palms and fingers.
The figure took a small step forward; Naruto caught a glimpse of their strawberry colored hair. He narrowed his eyes at the sight of the pink-haired witch "You…"
"Hello, Naruto-kun…"
