How come we don't always know when love begins, but we always know when it ends? ~ L. A. Story

"You ruined my relationship with Obito! It's all your fault, Naruto! You made me miserable! It's all your fault that he left me!"

"No one will ever love you, they will only use you."

"You can't love back, because it will be like you are using them. Do you really want to break their hearts, Naruto?"

"No one wants to even be your friend, Naruto. They only act like it so you'll leave them alone. It's all fake…you're life is fake."

"No one cares…You're filthy…If you die…it would be doing us all a favor."

Naruto yawned and opened his blue eyes slowly. The dream was reoccurring, and he was used to it by now. He sat up and let is eyes adjust to the darkness. Despite the fact that it was the morning, the room was dark. There were large, thick, black curtains that covered up the windows, trapping the light, and not letting it get inside. It was what Naruto wanted. He didn't want to see the light, because that meant another day had passed by.

It had been about two months since he last saw the outside. Despite Sasuke, Sakura, and Iruka's hardest attempts to get him to leave, he would not budge from his room. He barely ate, and all he did was write something in a notebook he had. When Sasuke had tried to take it away, to see what was inside, Naruto went into a frenzy, and Sasuke had to give it back to him.

His notebook was almost complete, and he could finally carry out the plan he had mapped out over two months ago. All he needed was a tiny bit more time, and it would all be finished.

"Naruto, I have lunch." Sasuke said as he entered the room. Naruto had no clock in his room, so he never knew the time, nor did he know what day it was. It was always Sasuke who came in and told him. And it was because of Sasuke that he knew how long he had been inside of the room.

"Thanks," Naruto said as he took the bowl of miso soup from his best friend. He had given up eating ramen; the food gave him no more happiness. It was pointless to eat it anymore. Food had lost it's taste, anyway.

"Naruto, would you like to come outside with me today? I was going to go for a swim." Sasuke offered, hoping to drag Naruto out of this state. He had tried so many times to get Naruto to leave, but the blond always rejected him. Sasuke figured it was because the young blond didn't want to see Kakashi.

"No, I have something important to do today." Naruto stated, drinking some of the soup Sasuke had just brought him.

"Important? Like what?" Sasuke asked, curious. He felt slightly hopeful. Maybe Naruto was finally going to go outside! Maybe things were looking up now! Maybe Naruto would finally get his smile back.

"Go swimming, you'll see when you get back." Naruto stated, going back to write something in his notebook. Sasuke sighed in defeat and turned to leave.

"I'll be back in an hour." The Uchiha said as he left the room.

"Goodbye, Sasuke." Naruto whispered, closing his eyes. A single tear rolled down his cheek, and then there were no more.

Naruto never wanted anything to get out about Kakashi, but the news was slowly spreading. And none of it was one hundred percent true. News always gets twisted and changed from one person to another. In one instance, people thought that Kakashi had forced Naruto into sex the first time. There people thought that Kakashi seduced the young blond. In another instance, people thought that it was Naruto who broke Kakashi's heart.

Therefore, Konoha had mixed feelings about Kakashi now. Some people liked him, and others hated him for what he did.

Nevertheless, he still lived on. He still did his daily work, still took missions, and still trained. However, there was something different about him. He tried to talk to Obito, but the man just wouldn't see him. He even tried to speak with Naruto, but Sasuke wouldn't let Kakashi anywhere near the Uchiha compound, much less in the mansion where Naruto's room was located.

"Naruto, Naruto…" Kakashi whispered as he walked back to his house. He needed to speak to Naruto. Everything had become so twisted. Not seeing Naruto in nearly two months had finally made Kakashi realize exactly why he couldn't stop seeing Naruto after Obito returned.

He loved him.

However, neither his brain nor his heart wanted to admit it. When Obito came back, Kakashi automatically went to him, thinking it was Obito that he wanted, and not Naruto. He was happy while he was with Obito, but he kept watching Naruto out of the corner of his eye. He knew Naruto was sad, but he watched him smile and laugh along side his friends. He saw how Sasuke returned, and he saw how happy Naruto was when he best friend came back.

Although it was extremely painful for Naruto, he forced himself to move on, and Kakashi couldn't handle it anymore. He hated seeing Naruto happy without him. He hated seeing the fact that despite everything, Naruto was able to move on.

Clenching his fists, Kakashi turned around and made his way towards the Uchiha compound. He would get through and go talk to Naruto, no matter what Sasuke did to try to stop him.

XOXOXOXOXO

"Naruto? I'm back" Sasuke called out as he walked up the stairs. He walked over to Naruto's room and opened the door. His eyes immediately widening at the site before them. Naruto was lying on the ground in a pool of blood, his own blood. His shirt was off his he had gashes all over his body. The seal was glowing a bright red, but Naruto wasn't being healed. The Kyuubi wasn't healing him!

Sasuke stopped staring and ran over to the broken blond, pulling him into his arms. Naruto had done exactly what Sasuke never expected him to do. Naruto tried to commit suicide.

"Please," Naruto whispered, unable to speak any louder. The pain was consuming him, eating him whole, and his vision was getting blurry. Sasuke seemed so far away right now.

"Yes, tell me what you want Naruto, I'll do anything!" Sasuke said, holding the younger boy in his arms. He completely ignored the blood soaking into his clothes. He didn't care about that, all that mattered was that Naruto lived.

"Please," He repeated, "Let me die…" He whispered, closing his eyes.

"No! Stop it dobe! Stop being so selfish. Why do you want to die? WHY? I love you, Sakura loves you! Iruka loves you too! And your friends! Why can't you see that? Why can't you see how much we all love you?" Sasuke asked. Everything that had happened between Kakashi and Naruto had taken it's full toll on Naruto, and the blond had given up.

"No…I want to die, please. Let me die." Naruto sobbed. He hadn't been crying from the pain, because he welcomed it. He was crying because Sasuke wasn't listening to him. He was crying because Sasuke wouldn't let him die.

"No! You're not going to die! I…I'll help heal your heart! Pour all of your sadness onto me! I'll heal you!" Sasuke shouted, his tears hitting Naruto's cheek, and rolling down onto his blood-soaked chest.

"I…I don't wa…want to use you." Naruto whispered.

"Naruto, I don't care if you don't love me back! I just want to heal you! I don't care if we can't be together romantically, I just can't survive without you in my life. Please, do…don't die…don't leave me." Sasuke said, pulling Naruto closer.

"I'm…sorry."

"Hold on Naruto, Tsunade and Sakura will be here soon. Just…hold on." He whispered. He had a horrible feeling that Naruto wasn't going to make it. There was so much blood, Naruto's breaths were getting shallower with each passing second, and he was freezing. If Tsunade and Sakura didn't come within five minutes, Naruto would be dead.

"Sasuke, there's a box under my bed. After I…die, please open it. You'll know what to do afterward." He said, closing his eyes, smiling slightly, letting the darkness consume him,.

"Naruto?"

"Goodbye Sasuke." Naruto whispered.

"Naruto?"

"NARUTO!"
