"What's your name anyway?"
Sasuke remembered that he hadn't introduced himself. Good thing his friend reminded him.
"I'm Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha…and you?"
The blonde blushed, embarrassed. Is he just shy or does his name sound funny that he didn't want Sasuke to know?
"I…I don't have a name…"
Then the boy grinned. "Strange, isn't it? I gave Kyuubi his name but I can't make myself one."
The little Uchiha sat up straight, arms crossed, and went on his thinking mode. His eyes then came across two bowls of ramen sitting beside his friend. Then he remembered:
"Hey, this tastes great! Thanks a lot for feeding me! I haven't eaten in days!"
"No problem. It's Ichiraku's specialty."
"Can I have your fish cakes? They're delicious."
"Sure."
Fish cakes…
Fish cakes…
Naruto?
"I got it! Naruto!"
The boy gave a puzzled look. "Naru…Na-Naruto?"
"Yes! Naruto! That will be your name from now on!"
Naruto gave a soft smile and repeated his name. "Naruto… Thank you, Sasuke…"
Sasuke smiled back.
Naruto looked at the Uchiha. He had been so kind to him. He was the only one who cared. He was the only getting into trouble of getting up here and spending time with him. He was the only person who thinks he existed. And it was his turn to return the favor.
"You've done so much. I promise I'll protect you even if it means risking my own life!"
Just as he said that, he saw Sasuke in front of him, covered with blood and cuts. Sasuke was bleeding. Sasuke was dying.
"I'll protect you."
Sasuke's dying.
"I'll protect you. I promise."
Sasuke's dying. Dying.
Naruto's crying. Crying…
"NARUTO!"
The vision cleared. Sasuke was in front of him, with no visible injuries. Sasuke's alright.
But what was that?
