The Never Ending Cycle Of Trust

Chapter 2: Long Time No See

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters/plot in it, but I do own the plot in this story and the added character Nami.

A/N: I'm really sorry for the longest update ever but my computer crashed and I didn't have any were else to update from. But now that I have a new computer does happy dance I will be putting up previous and new chapters but revised.

Nami's POV

My train of thought was interrupted by someone's irritated and angry voice "Hey you what are you doing here?" I can't believe I didn't notice the person before I'm a Jounin I should have heard him (she has been a Jounin since she was 15 and is know 17 and about to be 18 in 3 weeks). I turned around and saw someone that I thought had been dead for about 9 years know. He had the same shocked and perplexed expression as I did. I felt myself get dizzy and felt like my body was going to collapse everything went black I fell to the side I felt warm embracing arms catch me in mid air.

1 hour later

When I woke up I was in a dark room that had very little things but I saw imprinted on the wall the Uchiha sign. Then I remembered the absurd memory of seeing Sasuke in the village I asked myself If it was all a dream than how did you get here? Who else but Sasuke-kun would have brought you here? I got up in a sitting position and felt my head pounding in the inside of my skull and fell back down on to the pillow with a groan of pain. I said "Fuck. Got up to fast."

I heard faint rushing foot steps coming closer my heart was pacing with anticipation. The foot steps became louder and closer until they stopped at the door and then quickly opened the door and in popped Sasuke-kun all grown up. He had a worried look on his face "Nami are you okay I heard you groan in pain so I came to see if you were all right."

I was still shocked that I'm actually face to face with him so I tried to get up again I was successful up until I was standing my legs were wobbly and weak and quickly fell to the floor with a 'thud' Sasuke came running to help me up. He grabbed me around my waist and pulled me and seated me on the bed "You should rest and by the looks of it you need it." and gave me a sly smirk.

I said still a little perplexed "I still can't believe that you're standing right here with me." and reached up to touch his cheek it was warm and soft but best of all a living human that didn't die a long time ago "I've missed you so much." and I could feel the tears forming in my eyes and slowly falling down my cheeks.

Sasuke "Its ok. At first I couldn't believe it either not until I was able to catch and hold you in my arms" while he was talking he took me into an embrace to comfort me "and felt that you were real." he sighed "All this time and all along you were alive and I didn't know."

I tried to calm myself so I could talk and then ripped away from the embrace without it begin forceful or rough "I… It was ordered by the Third Hokage to be kept a secret so…" he waited for me to finish "I wouldn't be in danger of Itachi finding me and taking me with him."

Sasuke's eyes widened in shock he hesitated but continued "Why? Why did he want you I thought he want me to stay alive and kill him?"

I smirked timidly knowing exactly how he felt "I figured the reason why he did everything about a month ago when he found me." I let him take in the information and continued "I'm sorry Sasuke but I can't tell you the reason why. He wants us to figure it out on our own and its very important that you do. I already failed what he wanted me to do? But you still have a chance to succeed "

He had a stern expression on his face "What do you mean that you fail? And I still have a chance?"

At least he didn't press on knowing more on why he did it. I thought about how to answer him "It means he is testing us and I failed to pass it. That's all I can tell you about that and please don't ask any more about it than that." I looked him in the eye to show him that I was serious about what I said "My test was to see if I can survive with out trust and love of another. I passed it but failed in the end. I learn how to trust my friends, comrades, love and be loved by, figured out how to live without hate."

Sasuke interrupted looking a little confused but not really noticeable "Then how did you fail?"

I continued and tried to explain as best I could on how I failed "When I found out the one that I love and that I thought loved me didn't and I couldn't trust him. That shattered me and me broke in two and brought me back to where I was in the beginning. A scared and insecure little girl that was afraid to trust everyone that's how I failed."

Sasuke asked me in a very angry voice "Who did this to you? Who made you scared to trust again? But most of who broke your heart?" his voice softened in the end but still held anger.

I said "Its better if you don't know I don't want to dwell on the past it hurts to much." I let a sob come out and new tears of a different pain came flowing down my face.

He whipped away my tears with his thumbs "Fine I wont push you to tell me you can tell me when your ready to let me know." he said it in such an understanding manner.

I felt my heart ease at the thought that he wasn't going to force me to tell him. Then I just realized that I was supposed to be at the Fifth Hokages (Tsunade) office at three this afternoon. Its probably way past three by know. I looked at my wrist watch it read 3:15. I've been unconscious for a hour. I said in a fret "I need to go I was supposed to be in Tsunades office 15 minutes ago." I got up off the bed and ran out the door and yelled "Thank you for everything Sasuke-kun. BYE!!" I didn't let him protest I just ran out of his home and jumped/ran in the direction of her office.

Unknown Person

But unknown to her someone watched her run out of Sasukes estate with her hair a mess and her cloth askew. The person immediately felt disheartened and for the first time loathed someone. She felt as her heart had been broken and soon walked away from the seen with tears falling rapidly down her face.

Sasukes POV

I was walking down to my estate and saw some unknown person in front of Nami's home the person appeared to be occupied doing something. She had no right to be here and was probably one of the few crazed fan girls that cant get over the fact that I'm going to get married. So I yelled at the girl in an angry voice "Hey, you what are you doing here?" the girl was startled and quickly turned around. I felt my heart skip a beat. It can't be she's been dead for 9 years. The girl looked like she was as shocked and confounded as I was.

She then fell to her side and went unconscious but I was swift enough to catch her in mid air. I pulled her into a tight embrace to feel her to see if it wasn't a hallucination that my mind used to tend to do a lot it hasn't happened as much anymore only once a year on the anniversary of the massacreof the Uchiha. I then immediately new that this wasn't a trick that my mind was playing on me but it really was Nami in the flesh and blood.

I held her like that for a while longer before picking her up bridal style and caring her to the Uchiha household. I had some trouble opening the door while cradling her but I managed to do it. I brought her to my room and put her on the bed gently so I wont wake her up. I got a chair from the dinning room and brought it to the side of the bed and sat down next to her. I can't believe this she's alive she is actually alive. Nami I've missed you so much I've missed everyone but you in especially you taught me how to be a better person. You were like an older sister to me, you were always there for me except for that last time when I need you the most you weren't there. But how did you survive? my thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. I quickly went to answer so there would be a less chance of her to wake up.

I opened the door and immediately regretted it was Naruto the blond, blue eyed, annoying idiot. He energetically said "Hey Sasuke my man what's up?" he didn't let me answer and continued to talk "I was wondering if you want to go to the Ramen Bar with me and Sakura."

No wonder he wanted me to go with him he's still after her. Why doesn't he just give up and find another girl to go out with? "I can't I'm doing something very important right now and why are you still after Sakura I thought you said you were going to give up on her and 'try' and find another girl." I questioned him of his actions because he promised himself to forget her and I promised him to help him with it.

Naruto looked sheepishly down to the ground but quickly regained his happy composure "Sasuke you don't have to worry about that she just wants to introduce me to one of her best-friends that just came back from a six year mission in Sona. Can you believe that six year in the desert capital. I wonder if she knows Gaara? She probably does he is the Kazekage after all." the blond seemed very exited to meet the unknown girl and not Sakura at least it's a start for the idiot.

My reply was still the same "I can't go with you today I'm doing something very important right know. I'll go with you tomorrow."

"But Sasuke I really need your help to impress her. You know how to do that stuff at least give me some tips on how I can get her to fall for me or at least impress her."

I shock my head in defeat "Ok here's your tip be your self and if she doesn't like the real you than she isn't worth your time or effort got it." he did the one thing I cant stand him doing his famous pout. I still can't believe I'm falling for this trick and he knows I cant say no to the pout "Ohh fine I'll see if I can come. What time are you supposed to meet them there?"

Naruto excitedly yelled "Thanks Sasuke you're the best and its at 4:30." he seemed more excited instead of anxious well it is Naruto in all these years he hasn't changed much. But he at least knows when to be serious and when to joke around "oohhh this is so great can this day get any better." know the idiot was pushing his luck.

"Don't be so loud you'll wake her up." Naruto immediately stopped and gave a awkward smile.

"Is your girlfriend in there." and poked me in the ribcage "hhu she in there. What where you two doing." he kept pocking me.

I immediately yelled at him for prying into my personal life "NOTHING!! know get out and go do something." I felt my cheeks go red in embracement.

I shut the door on his face which got a direct hit to his nose he yelled out in pain "Sasuke you bastard what did you do that for?"

I just smirked at the idiots question "Go home and get ready."

Then suddenly I heard a groan of pain come from my room fuck I should have been paining more attention to her. I ran to my room it seemed like it was taking for ever for me to get there. I quickly opened the door she seemed to be waiting for me to come in anticipation she still had the shocked and I cant believe this is happening look on her face "Nami are you okay I heard you groan in pain so I came to see if you were all right." I stumbled over my words but luckily she didn't notice.

Nami tried to get up and was successful up until she was standing but her legs began to wobble under her and instantly fell to the floor with a 'thud'. I came running to help her up I scolded myself You should have caught her she wasn't that far away and you let her fall. I put my arm around her waist and pulled her up and seated her on the bed "You should rest and by the looks of it you need it." and gave a her sly smirk to ease the tension.

Nami still unsure of what to say "I still can't believe that you're standing right here with me." and reached up to touch my cheek her hands were cold but soft as silk just like my lovely fiancé "I've missed you so much." she looked like she was about to cry I could now see tears forming in her own onyx black eyes that resembled mine and they slowly fell down her tan skin which I remember being a fair pail tone but still had a little bit of color back then.

I told her in the most compassionate voice I had "Its ok. At first I couldn't believe it either not until I was able to catch and hold you in my arms" I started to hug her while I was talking to comfort her even more "and felt that you were real." I sighed in relief that this truly wasn't a dream "All this time and all along you were alive and I didn't know." it broke my heart to know that we could have helped each other out in our time of crises.

Nami then ripped away from my embrace it didn't feel forceful or rough "I… It was ordered by the Third Hokage to be kept a secret so…" I waited for her to finish "So I wouldn't be in danger of Itachi finding me and taking me with him." so that's why I didn't know.

My eyes widened in shock somewhat to the fact that Itachi wanted her and not me? And the fact that they didn't tell me. That would have made me feel less alone and full of despair back then it would made a big difference in my life. Also did she know that I was alive I have to ask her later what I want answered right know is why did Itachi want her. I hesitated in asking and choose my words wisely "Why, Why did he want you I thought he want me to stay alive and kill him?"

Nami smirked timidly as if knowing I would say that or something "I figured out the reason why he did everything about a month ago when he found me." she stopped to let me take the information in and continued "I'm sorry Sasuke but I can't tell you the reason why." I wanted to, I don't know what I want to do to her I just want to know why "He wants us to figure it out on our own and its very important that you do. I already fail what he wanted me to do? But you still have a chance to succeed "

"What do you mean that you fail? And I still have a chance?" I was concerned about what happened to her and what did Itachi do to her.

She took a while to answer as if contemplating whether to tell me or not but finally answered me "It means he is testing us and I failed to pass it. That's all I can tell you about that and please don't ask any more about it than that." Nami looked me strait in the eyes to show me that she was serious about what was happening "My test was to see if I can survive without trust and love of another. I almost passed it I but end up failing in the end. I learn how to trust my friends, comrades, love and be loved by and figured out how to live without hate."

I interrupted her now I'm confused she's telling me she didn't pass but she just described various ways how she did pass. It sounded to me like she did pass but how did she fail. "Then how did you fail?"

"When I found out the one that I love and that I thought loved me didn't and I couldn't trust him. That shattered me and me broke in two and brought me back to where I was in the beginning. A scared and insecure little girl that was afraid to trust everyone that how I failed." she solemnly

Know I'm angry how could anyone want to hurt Nami she was just as a great and loving person just like Hinata. I wanted to know who was the bastard that did this to her "Who did this to you? Who made you scared to trust again? But most of all who broke your heart?" my voice softened in the end but still held anger in it.

She said in weak voice "Its better if you don't know I don't want to dwell on the past it hurts to much." she let out a sob and new tears of a different pain came flowing down her face.

Watching her be like this was scary and it hurt me she was everything to me back then just like Itachi. So I don't want to cause her any more pain by questioning her. I whipped away her tears with my thumbs "Fine I wont push you to tell me you can tell me when your ready to let me know."

I saw her relax and then a shocked look of worry spread over her face she then looked at her wrist watch. She said hurriedly "I need to go I was supposed to be in Tsunades office 15 minutes ago." she got up off the bed and ran out the door and yelled before I could stop her "Thank you for everything Sasuke. BYE!!" I didn't even have time to protest she just ran out of the house.

I then looked down at the bed knowing it was useless to try and stop her. when she decides something there is no way to dissuade her. I saw a small object on it, it was the picture of her, Gaara, Kankuro, Sakura, Shikamaru and Tamari. Gaara had his arm around Namis waist and his other arm on Sakura's shoulder he looked like a pimp didn't think Gaara the kind of person that would do that or look the part anyway Kankuro had his arm around Sakura's waist and his other on top of Tamari and Shikamarus arm was around her waist. They all look so happy she looked happy. What happened?
