Chapter 3: It's Finally Over

Last time…

However before the blade was able to touch Naruto he woke up with a start and breathing heavily. Sitting up quickly Naruto held his head in his hand. Naruto stayed like this for a few minutes until his breathing somewhat returned to normal. It seemed so real this time…why do I keep having these dreams… why do they haunt me?…

"I need some air" Naruto said softly to the night air. Getting out of bed Naruto changed into some clothes and headed out side. Breathing in the night air Naruto felt better. Every time a nightmare got too much for him he went out for a bit to calm his nerves. Naruto headed down his usual way, which was heading towards Sasuke's place. Naruto walked at a slow pace. Naruto enjoyed his time outside. It got him away from his nightmares that would soon return when his head would hit the pillow. It was even nicer since no one was out…it was kind of late. He doubted any one would be outside. As Naruto continued to walk down the street he saw a crumpled form on the floor. Deciding to check it out, Naruto walked faster. What he saw made his heart drop. Blood….there was so much blood! "Sasuke…Sasuke!" Naruto yelled but the wind carried his cry into the night air…

Present…

Oh my god! What am I going to do! He's going to die if I don't do something!

Tears began to run down Naruto's face as he dropped to his knees besides the dieing boy. Dammit Sasuke don't die on me! Naruto mentally screamed. Your one of the few people I have left… Naruto began searching for where the source of blood was coming from. Noticing it was from Sasuke's wrist Naruto ripped a piece of fabric from his shirt and wrapped it around Sasuke's wrist to staunch the flow of blood.

It's not working! Naruto began to cry harder hunched over Sasukes still form. Suddenly red chakra started to swirl around Naruto. The red chakra started to float above both boys and then swirled around Sasuke. Naruto sat up entranced as he watched his chakra curl around Sasukes wrist. When the chakra disappeared Naruto removed the soiled piece of cloth and sat amazed staring at the newly healed wound.

Hey kit I healed the cut. You better do something quick he can still die. So hurry up you damn brat. Naruto heard a distant voice in his head. "Kyuubi?..." Yea that's right kid. I didn't do this for you but for my own benefit. If this boy dies then I'm going to be in a hell of a lot trouble with the state you'll be in… "Kyuubi…thank you… so much…" Naruto began to cry again. Shut up and do something, he lost to much blood you idiot! "But what can I do!" Naruto continued to cry. Damn it do I have to do everything! Just hold out your arm.

Naruto held out his arm and watched as the red chakra came forth once more. It started to become thin and sharp, like a needle. The needle-like chakra penetrated Naruto's flesh extracting blood. The blood traveled through the red chakra, like it would through a tube, and through a similar "needle" in Sasukes arm. You could not even tell blood was being transfused because the color of the chakra and blood were both such a rich red color. Naruto felt dizzy from the loss of blood but in no way did he try to stop the process in fear of losing Sasuke. A few seconds later the chakra disappeared into thin air. That should do it brat. Just get him and your ass home. "Thank you Kyuubi…".Naruto wiped his eyes, picked up Sasukes still form and began his way toward his home.

Naruto reached his front door in a matter of minutes. After placing Sasuke on his bed, he went into the kitchen and got a wet cloth as well as a bowl of warm water. Setting it on the bedside table Naruto began the task of stripping Sasuke of his blood-stained clothes until he was left in his boxers. Picking up the damp cloth Naruto began wiping off the dried blood that clung to Sasukes body. After he finished his task he washed out the cloth and well as Sasuke clothes. Damn…there's no way this can be used again. Placing it somewhere to dry anyway, Naruto return back to his room. Naruto dragged a chair next to his bed, which harbored the unconscious boy. Naruto stared at the beautiful face as he went into deep thought.

I thought Sasuke was having trouble but not this bad…why couldn't he just come to me! Damn him! But I don't think it was intentional that he was trying to kill himself…I found him in the middle of the street…meaning he was probably trying to get to the hospital or something…but how could he…it explains the scars…damn! I should have seen the signs sooner! Maybe I could have prevent this…maybe if I didn't fight with him so much he would have come to me…damn this is my fault! I could have prevented this…dammit Sasuke…can't you see how much I care about you…how much…I….love you…

With that last thought Naruto placed his head on his arms at the edge of the bed and dozed off into a light sleep.

The sun shone through a window and shined on Sasuke's face. His still body began to twitch until he finally opened his eyes. What happened… am I…still…alive? The cuts were too deep…I didn't make it to the hospital…what…who… Sasuke remained still, staring at the ceiling trying to clear his foggy mind. After about fifteen minutes Sasuke sat up. However a dizzy spell overcame him and he feel backwards onto the bed officially waking up Naruto.

"Huh…what?" Naruto mumbled unaware of his surrounds. Finally becoming focused Naruto stared into Sasukes eyes. They both stared at each other for a while until sasuke closed his eyes and took a deep breathe.

"Sasuke…?"

"Yea…"

"Why…why couldn't you come to me…?"

Sasuke didn't reply he just turned his head away from Naruto. Naruto, slightly disappointed, stood up. "I'm going to make us something to eat…be right back". Naruto headed out the room to make both of them a warm meal.

Damn it…Of all the people to find me…it had to be him…I should have just died…its better than dieing from the pain in my heart… These were Sasuke's last thoughts before darkness overcame him again.

Sasuke kept running…he couldn't stop…it would catch up…he couldn't let it catch up…if it did…it's all over… "I can't let it get me…I'm not ready to leave yet…" Sasuke panted from exhaustion. "Why can't you just leave me alone…" the darkness didn't listen…its just kept coming closer…waiting to envelope him. Sasuke tripped and looked back at his oncoming enemy. Sasuke started to crawl away but the darkness gripped his feet…it was too late "No! It can't end like this…why…" was Sasuke's last words before he was completely concealed by the dark abyss.

"Sasuke wake up!" Naruto yelled as he shook the boy. Sasuke shot up suddenly, eyes searching wildly. He had been thrashing about and whimpering as he slept. "You ok?" Naruto asked concerned. Sasuke didn't answer; he just stared at a wall in the room. "Sasuke?" Naruto tap Sasuke softly causing him to jump. "Sorry…um here." Naruto sat a tray on Sasuke's lap holding a bowl of soup on it. Naruto sat down in the chair he slept in the night before and starting eating some of the soup from a bowl he brought for himself. Sasuke just stared at it before he took a small bite.

After both boys finished their meal Naruto took the bowls back to the kitchen. Standing in the doorway Naruto stared at Sasuke, deep in thought. I wonder what the hell he can be thinking…how can he just keep me worrying like this?! That damn bastard! I'll show him. Naruto thought angrily while walking up to Sasuke. He sat down on the bed and was eyelevel with Sasuke.

"What the hell you bastard! How can you! How could you! Why couldn't you just come to me…you bastard…" Naruto looked away not wanting to cry in front of the boy. Sasuke sat stunned. What the hell…could he…does he…care this much?...no…he can't…I can't let him…I can't let him get close…I just…can't…

"Hn its nothing dobe…" Naruto's head snapped back to face Sasuke.

"Nothing!" Naruto grabbed one of Sasuke's wrists. "You call a slit wrist nothing! Do you call almost bleeding to death! Do you think your life nothing! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Sasuke yanked his hand out of Naruto's and held it to his body. "Shut the hell up! What do you know?!"

"I know you are going to kill yourself at this rate!"

"Just shut up Naruto! It's none of your damn business!"

"How the hell can I mind my own business when your doing this to yourself?!"

"Because its none of you concern" Sasuke tried to get out of the bed but Naruto just pushed him back down forcefully,

"What the hell is your problem?! Can't you see what you're doing to yourself?! What your doing to me?!" Naruto gasped not believing he let that last part slip out of his mouth. He backed off the bed and turned away. Oh my fucking god! How the hell I let that slip! Now he's going to find out! I'm so screwed! Naruto continued to mentally scream at himself while Sasuke started at him wide-eyed. Did he…just say that? I…wish so much that he means that…well if he said it…then he most likely meant it…he may not love me but at least I would know he would care that much.

"Dobe…why do you care?...don' t you…hate me?" Naruto turned to him eyes shinning.

"I thought you hated me Sasuke…you don't always treat me the best you know…"

Sasuke sighed. "I'm…sorry" Naruto walk towards the bed and sat down again.

"Sasuke talk to me…I'm right here…and always have been…" a few tears have leaked out of Naruto eyes by now. Sasuke reached out a hand and wiped away Naruto's tears.

"It's not that simple Naruto…"

"Well then explain!"

"I...I-I can't…"

"Sasuke if you want to cut your self…then use my body instead…I don't mind the pain because just knowing you're hurting yourself hurts me more…" Naruto started to cry silently now pleading Sasuke to let him help.

"Naruto…I'm…I'm so sorry…" Sasuke embraced the crying boy and held him to his chest.

"Sasuke please…" Sasuke sighed.

"Naruto…it's the only thing that keeps me sane…the only thing…that keeps me welll sort of alive…I am always surround by darkness…no matter what I do or where I am…I am always surrounded…if I don't it will take control and eventually kill me inside…so this is basically my only way to live…if not ill die anyway…what does it matter…no one would really care if I'm gone…they will just feel sorry they lost a good shinobi…that's all…so I might as well die through a physical wound rather than the pain in my heart…" Sasuke ended his little speech with a pain in his chest. Half of him feeling better he got some of that out into the open and the other half filled with the pain of having Naruto so close but at the same time…so far…

"…Sasuke…did you not hear me! I care! What don't you understand?! After all this time couldn't you notice I have always been here?!"

"Naruto I just couldn't…I couldn't let you get close…you would just be trapped by my darkness…I could not…no I will not let that happen…"

"And I will take that risk just knowing you'll be here! If I let this go…I might not even see you next time… I can't imagine living life like that…so please just trust me…please…"

"Naruto…" Sasuke tightened his hold on the blond touched by his words.

It's now or never…who knows what will happen the next time…if something did…he would never find out how I feel…I couldn't live with myself if that happened…even if he rejects me now at least he'll know… Naruto thought. "Sasuke…I just can't imagine how life would be with out you here…it would be so empty…you can't leave me alone…I-I love you…" Sasuke gasp not expecting the sudden revelation. Did he just…oh my god…he…loves me?...Sasuke remained silent for a few seconds sending Naruto the wrong message.

"Yea I know your probably disgusted by me…but I just had to tell you…I could never forgive myself if something happened to you and you didn't know…I'm sorry…its ok if you don't want to speak to me anymore…"

Sasuke turned Naruto's head to face him. Sasuke looked into Naruto's eyes searching for any hint of lies…he couldn't find any… overcome by foreign joy Sasuke leaned forward and brushed his lips against Naruto's.

Naruto gasped but slowly closed his eyes, enjoying the moment. Sasuke put a bit more pressure on Naruto's lips and opened his mouth slightly. Sasuke ran his moist tongue along Naruto's lips asking for entrance. With out a second thought Naruto instantly gave him access. Sasuke ran his tongue along Naruto mouth enjoying how Naruto shuddered at his touch. Sasuke tongue met Naruto's and both danced in desire. Sasuke sucked slightly on Naruto tongue causing the blond to moan. But a little thing called air caused them to break their fiery kiss. Naruto stared at Sasuke, skinned flushed. Both smiled as they tried to get air into their lungs.

Sasuke lifted his hand and caressed Naruto's cheek. "I love you to…you don't know how long I wanted to say that…" sasuke smiled again. Naruto smiled as well and hugged sasuke. "Naruto you are the only one who is able to help me. I need your light to help dissipate this darkness…"

"Of course Sasuke, I will do what ever it takes to make sure you stay here…with me…" sasuke smiled…a true smile…

"Naruto…you are the only one…you are the only one who can save me from my darkness." Both leaned into to kiss each other once more…

The End

Yes I am sorry it took me long to update. I am not as satisfied with the ending chapter but I guess its ok. Please let me know what you think. I definitely know I am not one of the best writers because I don't put in as much time as I need to develop the story like I should. But I hope it is enough to satisfy you. For future stories I will work on that and become a better writer.

And thank you Dark Toy for that line. I used it but in my own words. Thank you very much.

I will be doing an epilogue for this. I will tie it up in the final chapter and also if I get enough response to do so I will add a lemon. I already started it. It should be up soon but i have exams.

Please Review. Tell me what you think of the story and how my writing is. I will like to get better. And please tell me if you want a lemon. I am planning on writing one but I need to know if you would want one.

Until next time…
