"Sasuke! Sasuke, don't give up!" Naruto yelled as he tried to calm down Sasuke, who was screaming and yelling in pain because of the curse mark that Orochimaru put on him. "You will survive, You will!"
"Sasuke!" Sakura whined as tears began to free-fall from her emerald eyes.
The screaming stopped and Sasuke stopped fussing. A rasp breathing echoed through Naruto's ears before Sasuke's breathing completely stopped. Sakura screamed through her tears.
"Stupid Sasuke!" Naruto yelled as he punched the ground near Sasuke's head. A small tear drop fell of his cheek and landed lightly on Sasuke's cheek sending it rolling down his cheek to the ground. "Wake-up!" He started shaking his shoulder roughly. "Wake the hell up! This is no time to be sleeping teme!"
Sakura looked at Naruto and started crying more. "Stop it!" She yelled at Naruto. "Stop it Naruto, he won't wake up…" Sakura stared at the ground as tear droplets hit the ground.
"Sasuke…" Naruto whispered before laying his head down on Sasuke's chest and letting only a few tears fall.

"He wasn't strong enough Orochimaru-sama…"
"I guess not…" Orochimaru said in a disappointed tone. "But, keep an eye on the blonde one, he has the nine tails sealed inside of him."
"Yes, Orochimaru-sama…" With that the figures disappeared into the darkness.

After the Chunnin exams and Orochimaru's attack
Sasuke and the Thirds funeral
Rain pelted down on the weakened town. Many people wept over the loss of the Third Hokage, and of coarse the Uchiha prodigy and last survivor. Sakura and Ino seemed to weep the most and the loudest, although no one seemed to notice their screams of pain and anguish.
Naruto just stood there staring at the two pictures before him. Sadness crept up behind him. He felt tears prickle at the back of his eyes but held on strong. He just walked slowly until he got up to the two caskets. He clenched his teeth and set down the two white roses, one for each. He clasped his hands together and prayed.
'Hey Gramps, hope your happy up there! Don't do anything to bad…'
'Sasuke…you stupid bastard…' His tears began to fall. 'Why'd you have to go and get yourself killed. Stupid Bastard.' He began to sob uncontrollably, his body shook but he still stood there.
"Come on, Naruto." Iruka said taking the weeping boy back to his spot.
'No!' Naruto screamed in his mind. 'Stupid Gramps, Stupid Sasuke…why'd you have to go….Sasuke.' Naruto chuckled through his tears. "You always did like to make a fool out of me…" He whispered.
Iruka looked down at Naruto with saddened eyes. "Naruto…"

Naruto slowly trudged home in the pouring rain.
"You're going to catch a cold…dope." Naruto stopped. For a moment he felt the rain stop and in front of him was a smirking Sasuke.
Naruto's eyes widened and he wiped around. Nothing was there but empty streets. "Ah! I'm losing it!" He yelled as he messed up his soaked hair. He opened his eyes, the only emotion they held was misery. "but I don't really mind…as long as I can hear his voice."
He could just picture it, Sasuke standing there with his usual making smirk and saying…"How sentimental, you care…"
A vein popped out from his forehead. "God, you even have to make fun of me when your DEAD!" He ran the rest of the way home. He ran up the stairs, ran through the door and slammed it. He leaned against the door and sighed. His wet bangs covered his cerulean blue eyes and he slid down to the floor. His body began to shake. "God, why the hell…am I crying so much…" He wiped away a few tears that were beginning to form in his eyes. " It's not like I miss that bastard…Far from it…I-I'm glad to g-get rid of him…right?" He pulled his legs to his chest and began to sob into his legs.

"You really are a dope" Sasuke stated dryly.
Naruto stood up with his clenched fist and glared at Sasuke. " Well, you really are a bastard!"
"Naruto, Sasuke stop it already, geez." Sakura said shaking her head at the two boys antics.
Kakashi was smiling down from the tree branch he was reading his book on. "Calm down Sakura-chan, at least there happy."
Sakura sweat dropped. "That's happiness." She stated, pointing at the two boys were frowning and exchanging multiple insults.
"To them I guess." Kakashi said before turning back to his book.
Sakura looked at them with a confused look. The two boys turned away from each other. Sasuke soundlessly and Naruto with a big "humph", but Sakura noticed they each had a small but noticeable smile spread across their lips. Sakura laughed . "They have one weird way of exchanging happiness."
Naruto looked at Sakura confused, he obviously didn't hear here. But right next to him, Sasuke just stood there smiling a small smile.
'This is my Happiness.' He thought. "Naruto is the one who brightened up my darkness that I was living in. Naruto is my sun."
---
'Naruto. Happiness. Sun. Life. Tears…My love.'
" Sasuke…you stupid bastard…Why'd you have to go get yourself killed…Stupid bastard" Small weeping sounds echoed.
"Naruto…" Sasuke whispered. His eyelashes fluttered open but he was only confronted with darkness.
"Why'd you have to go…Sasuke?" Sasuke could feel small drops of water fall down on him slowly.
"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled. He began to run toward the sobs. "Naruto answer me say something!"
" It's not like I miss that bastard…Far from it…I-I'm glad to g-get rid of him…right?" Sasuke stopped in his tracks. He could feel the water pour down on him now. A small raindrop fell down and landed in his mouth. The salty taste hit his taste buds and he new right away they were tears.
"Naruto…" He whispered. "Don't cry."
"I'm not crying!" The sad voice boomed.
'Did he hear me?' Sasuke asked himself. "Naruto can you hear me?"
The sobbing noises continued. "Naruto!" Sasuke's eyes fell down to the nothingness below him. "So he can't hear me."
"I want you here Sasuke…" Naruto said through his tears. Sasuke looked in front of him, that's were he heard the voice coming from. "I want you hear with me…"
Sasuke began to run. "I want to be near you too."
"But, you can't, can you?" This saddened voice pained Sasuke with each word that it spoke.
"I can, Naruto. I can be near you!"
"You're dead. And it's all because I couldn't protect you."
"What the hell are you at talking about! Naruto!" Sasuke started to pant, he wasn't getting anywhere.
A small round picture appeared in front of him.
There in the picture Naruto sat next to his door in the complete darkness. The picture of Team 7 was in his hand and he was looking closely at Sasuke.
"It's not like it would have mattered. You hated me anyway…" Sasuke flinched a bit at those words.
"I didn't."
"Maybe you're glad to get rid of me too." Naruto sat up with the picture and looked at it as tears bristled at the back of his eyes again.
"Naruto…I would never…"
"Ah! I need to stop acting like such a baby! No more crying! No more…not over him…h-he isn't the one I should be crying over…" Naruto looked at the picture. "And yet…I can't stop these babyish tears. Maybe I depended on you more than I thought."
"Naruto, I want to be there with you. I never hated you, the exact opposite in fact… If only I could tell you this. If I could make your tears stop I would do it, If I could just comfort you. Naruto…I…I"
Sasuke felt a big wind. It was strong yet Sasuke just stood there. The darkness faded and was replaced by a small apartment. Next to the bed with a small picture frame in his hands was Naruto.
Sasuke looked at Naruto. "So, did you miss me dope?" He said in a cocky tone. He couldn't just come back form the dead and kiss him…that would freak him out.
Naruto looked up and his eyes widened. He whispered the only word he could conjure up. "Sasuke…"
