Naruto gave Sasuke some time in which the blonde hoped he was cooling off in. he found the raven training outside. With everything that had been going on recently, neither of them had been able to go on missions or even train. Sasuke was obviously trying to make up for that now in the comfort of his private training ground. When the raven had thrown his last kunai, Naruto decided it was safe to announce his presence; Sasuke had been too busy to notice him, or so Naruto thought. "What are you still doing here?" Sasuke hissed.
Naruto was confused; he hadn't been watching Sasuke train for thatlong. "I was waiting until you were finished." Naruto replied truthfully. Sasuke turned around and glared at the blonde. "That's not what I meant." He replied coldly. "I meant, what are you still doing on my property. We're finished Naruto." Sasuke walked to the post and pulled out each kunai that had stuck into the wood. He readjusted the target he had placed on the pole and calmly began throwing them again, each landing perfectly on the target. Naruto simply stood there gaping. "F-finished? I don't understand!" Sasuke didn't even bother to stop what he was doing to look at Naruto.
"You can be really dense sometimes, you know that? Finished as in I don't want you around anymore. End of the relationship, whatever way you put it, just get lost." Another kunai hit the post with a thud. This time however, it wasn't completely on the target. "But…I love you Sasuke!" Naruto told the raven. Sasuke missed the target on the next throw. It didn't even come close to the post and sunk into the ground. He decided not to reply to what the blonde said. Naruto came closer to Sasuke. "And I know you love me too." He finished quietly. When Naruto tried to touch Sasuke, the raven pushed him away. "I don't love you! Not after what you did!" Naruto sighed exasperatedly. "I don't get it Sasuke, what was I supposed to do, let Itachi…" Naruto shuddered at the thought of what would have happened if he hadn't of released the Kyuubi. Sasuke stayed silent, so Naruto continued. "Exactly. It was a last resort; I had no choice." Sasuke glared at him.
"You didn't have to kill him! But no, you had to be the fucking hero didn't you! Just leave before I do something I regret." Sasuke waited for Naruto to move and was furious when the blonde didn't. "Did I not make myself clear?" he snarled. Naruto chose to ignore the threatening tone Sasuke was using and stepped closer to the raven. "You wouldn't hurt me Sasuke. I know you still love me, no matter what you say."
"God, Naruto you're so deluded! Why can't the message just get through, I don't even want to look at you anymore. I never loved you in the first place; you were just a distraction until I accomplished my goal, which you so kindly fulfilled for me. Why would someone like me even look twice at a monster like you?" the shock was clear on Naruto's face. Sasuke was even surprised with what he said, even though he didn't let it show.
The raven refused to look at Naruto's face after that; he knew the hurt would be written all over his face and Sasuke didn't really want to see what he had caused. When he saw Naruto's feet shift, obviously to leave, Sasuke looked up and grabbed the blonde by the arm. "Wait!" Naruto turned to look at Sasuke.
"First you want me to leave, and now you don't?" he asked wearily. "I don't want you to leave." He said. Naruto pulled his arm away quickly.
"Sasuke, you can't expect to say something like that and then want me to stay with you." He mumbled. Naruto was trying desperately not to cry; he felt he had been doing that a lot recently. Sasuke took hold of his arm again, making it more difficult for Naruto to keep his emotions in check. "I didn't mean it, you know I didn't!" Sasuke replied quickly. "Yeah, but do I? You'd rather I was raped by Itachi than kill him.
One minute you say you love me, the next your telling me you 'can't look twice at a monster like me.'" Sasuke gently held Naruto's other arm and gently pulled the blonde closer. "I'm sorry." Sasuke said softly. Naruto looked at Sasuke intently, wondering if the raven truly meant his apology. "Sasuke…"
"I know what I said was horrible, but I didn't mean any of it. I do love you Naruto." Naruto paused for a moment and thought about his answer. "O-okay. Just don't say anything like that again, please." Sasuke nodded in agreement. He scooped up the kunai he had used and stuffed them into his weapon pouch. He led Naruto back to the house, silently wondering how he could have possibly said some of the things he had. "I really am sorry, you know. About overreacting." Sasuke said. Naruto smiled at the raven. "I know." Naruto replied.
