REWRITTEN
Sorry, I kinda made this ridiculously unnecessarily long.
But I felt like the original chapter 2 was too fast pace.
(sucks because before, my story had 1337 words haha)
And yes Sasuke is out of character, and acting like a child near the end.
BUT WITH GOOD REASON! It will be explained in the next chapter.
(hehe yes very convenient of me)
And sorry for repeating words over and over again consecutively, but it's my idea of a "technique."
Sasuke was annoyed.
He looked over at Naruto, or rather; he looked over at the shell of who Naruto use to be. Physically, Naruto was still the same. He looked much like Sasuke had remembered... except for his eyes. It seems as though his eyes had lost something after their previous encounter. They were different. They were void of all the happiness and hope that had once overfilled them. Now they just tell a story of sadness and sorrow.
"Naruto, say something already!"
Silence.
"S..." Naruto trailed off, slumping over again.
Sasuke sighed.
"Get off the floor, idiot. We have couches, you know. Anyways, Sakura's going to be here in a few minutes."
Naruto slowly rose.
He joined Sasuke on the couch, returning to his slumped position.
The sound of the clock echoed in the room.
Then, foot steps were heard.
"Sasuke!"
Sasuke glanced over. "Oi, Sakura. Long time no see."
"Yeah... Um, so how are you?" Sakura sat herself down.
"Tsunade said something about Naruto not being a ninja anymore, explain."
"Well..," Sakura looked at Naruto nervously. "..you see, well.. ever since the last time Naruto chased after you.. on that mission.. when we found him.. he was just lying there.. and when we went to help him up.. he said he didn't want to be a ninja anymore. and the whole time, while we headed back, he kept repeating himself. No matter what we asked him, that's all he would say. Eventually, Tsunade didn't know what to do with him so she granted him his wish. After that, he didn't talk at all."
Silence.
"I'm sorry. What?" Sasuke was trying to process what Sakura had just said.
Naruto, who never faced an obstacle too overwhelming, who had always dreamed of one day becoming hokage and protecting the village that had eyes looking down upon him... 'didn't want to be a ninja anymore?'
"What? What happened? What happened to Naruto on that mission?!"
"Well Sasuke... I was hoping you'd tell me. You were with him, after all. I was hoping you'd tell me what you did to him."
Sasuke's eyes widened. He froze, unable to move.
"Well to be honest, Sasuke, I actually don't care at this point. Just... just bring him back!" Sakura got up. "Sorry, I have to go now. Tsunade wanted me to help her with something." Sakura quickly left.
'Move.'
Nothing.
'Move dammit!'
Nothing.
'I'm Uchiha Sasuke, and this is my body. Now listen to me and move!'
Sasuke's body relaxed and he let out a long sigh.
Sasuke glanced over at Naruto, who was still slumped over and looking only at the ground,
"Oi Naruto, you hungry?"
Naruto hesitantly nodded.
"Okay let's-," Sasuke thought for a second, "how about this, we'll eat anything you want, if you say one word."
Sasuke smirked.
Silence.
"Oh c-mon Naruto."
"S...,"
"S..."
Sasuke sighed.
"It's okay. Let's eat."
Sasuke got up.
"S..."
"Naruto, it's fine."
"S..."
Sasuke looked over at Naruto.
"Tch."
Sasuke sat back on the couch and pulled Naruto beside him, letting Naruto's head fall onto his shoulder.
"Please give Sasuke back. I miss Sasuke."
Naruto's hands were clutched around Sasuke's ankle.
Sasuke sent a wave of chidori down his leg, but Naruto held on tightly.
"Tch. Go home and be hokage."
Silence.
"Let go of me, Naruto."
"I use to want to be hokage so people would like me better. But looking back, I think I just wanted you to like me better, Sasuke."
"I think I'd like you better if you just died."
Naruto was silent. Then, his grip loosened, and eventually he let go.
Sasuke took one last look at Naruto and walked off.
Beep... Beep... Beeeeeep
Foot steps.
'Ow my head hurts.'
'What's that smell?'
Sasuke slowly opened his eyes.
Naruto was standing in front of him holding out a cup of ramen.
Sasuke blinked, and took the cup out of his hand.
As he was about to take the first bite, he looked up at Naruto.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Naruto shook his head.
Sasuke handed the cup back to Naruto.
"Take it. I never liked this stuff anyways."
"I use to want to be hokage"
Sasuke glanced around.
"..the hell? Did I just imagine that?"
"I just wanted you to like me better"
"Naruto?"
"I just wanted you to like me better, Sasuke."
Sasuke slipped out of bed.
He strolled slowly into the living room.
"..."
The couch was empty.
Sasuke blinked.
Empty.
He glanced around the room.
Empty.
He checked the washroom,
Empty.
the kitchen,
Empty.
the hallways,
Empty.
the dining room,
Empty.
his parents' room,
Empty.
he checks all the rooms.
Empty.
Empty.
EMPTY.
Sasuke was in panic.
The house was empty.
He allowed himself to fall to the ground.
Naruto was gone.
He was alone.
'No...'
He wasn't done looking.
Sasuke got up clumsily and ran outside.
It was raining.
"NARUTO?"
He called out at the sky.
It wasn't like he was hoping Naruto would hear him and decide to come back, he was hoping the sky would hear him and just hand him Naruto.
He continued running.
10 minutes pass.
20 minutes pass.
30 minutes pass.
40 minutes pass.
Sasuke was exhausted, and was now on the ground.
A figure stood nearby.
A blonde figure.
A figure that looked like Naruto.
A figure that WAS Naruto.
'Naruto.'
Sasuke sighed in relief and gets up.
"Naruto, you can't just-"
Naruto had a kunai in his hand.
"I think I'd like you better if you just died." It was all Naruto heard, from the moment those words left Sasuke's mouth, it was all he heard. The only voice that he could hear, that he could understand it was Sasuke's.
He tightened his grip on the kunai.
'No.'
He brought it closer to his throat.
'No.'
'Stop it...'
'Stop it...'
'Stop it...'
'Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.'
'...'
"STOP IT ALREADY!" Sasuke yelled into the rain.
Sasuke stood up and ran.
He could feel his legs giving away.
But he didn't stop.
Sasuke threw himself towards Naruto, pulling him into an embrace.
"Please... Please give Naruto back... I miss Naruto."
Naruto dropped his kunai.
"I'm so stupid. I'm so stupid, Naruto. I had to leave my home, betray my best friend, fight with him to death, and then kill my own brother, before... Before realizing that home was where I wanted to be, all along. Naruto, I like you. I like you a whole lot... So please don't leave me."
"Sa-su-ke?" The light returned to Naruto's eyes.
"Naruto..," Sasuke smiled. "I really missed you... Idiot."
To be continued
Now wasn't that fun!
Now I can get on with the boy love!
that will slowly blossom.
