Therapist Equals The Rapist
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did I would totally make Sasuke and Naruto have hot smexin' sex.
Summary: Sasuke is a being that feeds on the human soul through sexual intercourse. There are many like him on Earth, blending in with society. The only problem? Every person they have intercourse with dies, so most of them resorted to rape instead. One of them makes a mistake and a victim gets away. In comes, Naruto, a detective given charge of the investigation. His prime suspect? Why! It's Sasuke of course! But is he in over his head on this one?
Chapter 20
Weakness was death to Sasuke. He believed weakness was humiliation and unfit for a leader. Constantly he reminded himself of his own philosophy. Not even once on a blue moon would Sasuke present weakness whether it's to his subjects or himself. Yet death seems to be upon him as he hung from the ceiling impersonating a century old cloth-made doll. He barely spoke a word. His breathing shallow enough to have him pronounced dead. Sasuke's conscious mind faded with each passing day. At times he mumbled incoherent words to himself, at other times he dozed off into darkness. However no matter where his mind went the buzz of Tsunade's and Orochimaru's voices pleading with him to eat was not escapable. They pleaded in his dark imageless dreams, they pleaded in his delirious conscious mind; they were everywhere. Yet Sasuke refused to eat from the humans their captives brought over every two weeks. The humans were grateful but Tsunade and Orochimaru were not.
The protesting screech of the dungeon doors scraping against the floor interrupted their sleep. Tsunade and Orochimaru raised their heads. With a smug pace three guards walked in, each hauling a wailing human behind them by the arm. They were frail looking and barely fit the clothes they wore. Their wails were more haggard breathing than anything substantial. Tsunade's nose twitched, the smell of disease contaminating the air. She glanced over at Orochimaru. His eyebrow twitched in annoyance as he looked back then glared at the men. They snickered. Roughly they pushed the humans onto the floor below Tsunade and Orochimaru.
"Dinner time," one of them sneered as the other two slowly lowered Tsunade and Orochimaru. Their feet touched the long desired ground. The humans screamed. The two elders hesitated a moment, staring at the disease ridden humans. Their fragile forms scrambled awkwardly on the floor. Their fearful tired eyes fixated on Tsunade and Orochimaru. The two elders faltered at the look but closed their eyes and descended their fangs. The guards snickered in the background as they stalked forward one step at a time. The humans back pedaled in sync. Orochimaru growled out of the blue and lunged, hunger dominating his mind. His claws grasped one of the humans, a young girl. His nails dug deep into her upper arms. She winced and cried. Orochimaru shook her violently. Her head dropped in a circular backward motion. Her cries silenced. Satisfied Orochimaru dug his teeth into her chest and ate greedily.
Tsunade observed him for a moment then turned to the crying mass of two humans. Their fearful eyes became terrified watching the girl die in Orochimaru's arms. Her nose twitched again and all control was lost. Copying Orochimaru's actions she lunged forward and grabbed onto the closest human, an older woman. The woman shrieked bloody murder and pushed against Tsunade's face. Tsunade growled. In frustration she pushed the woman's arm away breaking it in the process. Without delay Tsunade sunk her teeth into the woman ignoring the high pitch scream. Her mind processed nothing but the hunger of not feeding for two weeks. The scream died down as Tsunade ate as much as she could.
The two dropped their meal onto the floor carelessly. Each staring up at Sasuke who still hung above their heads; they cocked their heads at the guards. The silent question was answered when one of them dropped Sasuke harshly. Tsunade rushed forward catching the lifeless body in her arms. She cradled him against her bosom like a mother should.
"Feed him," one of the guards growled from behind. He dragged the last remaining human kicking and scratching over to Tsunade. He dumped her onto the ground in front of the two. Tsunade stared at the feeble woman. Long streaks of blonde hair tangled and frizzed over tanned skin. Tears streamed steadily down her dirty oiled face. Her fretful eyes darted anywhere but at them.
"Feed him," the guard kicked Tsunade in the back to get her moving. She growled at him but straddled the woman forcefully before gently pushing Sasuke down against her bosom. The raven, though unconscious, scrunched up his eyebrow and tried to pull away. Tsunade applied more force against his head and watched him struggle against taking her life essence.
"Sasuke… please… just eat." Tsunade pleaded. Sasuke shook his head unsteadily slow, a sign he can hear her. She growled frustrated at his stubbornness. "Please, Sasuke, you have to eat. Naruto wouldn't want you to die so pathetically!" She shouted instinctively. Sasuke twitched at the mention of Naruto's name. His eyes peeled open for the first time in days. They gazed unfocused ahead at the woman's collar bone. Slowly they peered upwards at her. They settled on the messy blonde hair.
"Na…ru…to" It was barely an audible whisper. Obsidian eyes bled into red in recognition. His fangs descended into her chest without hesitation. She cried bloody murder at the top of her lungs as Sasuke drank greedily stealing away the last flicker of life in her. Tsunade relinquished her hold on Sasuke and moved back. He grabbed onto her possessively drinking the last of her life. Once done and satisfied that he cleaned her out Sasuke dumped her onto the ground recklessly. He stood, still a bit unsteady, and wiped his mouth. He shook his head to clear the buzz. Only did he manage to get a good look at the girl did he realize she wasn't Naruto. He froze.
"Sasuke?" Tsunade tried to move forward but was seized by one of the guards. He grabbed both her arms and pulled them back restraining her. "Hey!" She cried but was hauled around to face the open dungeon doors. Orochimaru and Sasuke were immediately seized by their arms in the same fashion as Tsunade.
"What's the big idea?" Orochimaru shouted.
"Sabaku-sama and Hyuuga-sama would like to see you three." One of them snarled as they, together in unison, brought them out of the dungeon for the first time.
"Don't try anything stupid, you're still bound." Another said as they released their holds only to point their weapons at their backs, pushing them to move. The three walked stiffly up the stairs, through the halls. They passed many of their loyal subjects. Many of the women cried at the sight of Sasuke being helpless. They cringed and tried to look away. The men simply avoided contact with the three, opting to hide in corners or shadows. Sasuke kept his head forward and high as he walked. He refused to show anymore weakness than he's already had. Mistaking that woman for Naruto was more humiliation than he's had in his life. He couldn't believe he was foolish enough to believe she was Naruto just because she had blonde hair. Though he felt energize he wanted to die for betraying his lover.
The three guards led Sasuke, Tsunade, and Orochimaru into the throne room. Sasuke growled upon sighting Neji sitting on his throne with Kakashi standing nearby. He tried to lunge at the Hyuuga for defiling his throne but Tsunade held him back. She shook her head and looked at the cuffs on Sasuke's arms. He looked down at the diagrams that stared back. He cursed under his breath. Neji smirked at him when he looked back up. He snarled at him but was poked in the back by one of the guards.
"Mind your manners!" he shouted at him.
"That's ok," Neji raised a hand. "You're all dismissed." He waved them along. Turning back to Sasuke, Neji stared at him with a contemplating expression. The stare lasted long past 2 minutes. Irritation scratched at Sasuke.
"What?" He hollered at Neji. The Hyuuga chuckled with ill humor.
"How rude, Sasuke, considering you're on the receiving end of one of the worst situations you've been in." His voice laced with interest.
"Fuck you!" Sasuke shouted in quick response. A full blown laugh exploded out of Neji. He threw his head back laughing with his mouth wide open. Kakashi remained silent by his side.
"Are those your last words?" He asked Sasuke.
"Last words?" Tsunade questioned him. She had a nagging feeling that something was wrong ever since they ascended the stairs out of the dungeon.
"Tsunade…" Neji whispered her name with a thought hanging behind. "I remember you," he spoke as if she was a background character to his life. "You're always taking Sasuke's side whether he's in the wrong or not. Is it because you raised him? Or is it because you're sickly devoted to him?" He sounded genuinely curious.
"It's none of your business. What did you call us up here for?" Tsunade directed the conversation back to her own curiosity. Neji leaned back in his chair and perched his right elbow up on the arm rest. He rested his chin atop it.
"I'm tired of providing food for you three. You're nothing but useless crap to my new kingdom." Neji scowled.
"In other words, you're going to kill us."Orochimaru clarified.
"Correct, always so quick to access a situation Orochimaru… are you sure you don't want to join me? I could use someone like you." Neji offered. Orochimaru smirked at him.
"You can have the rest of my decaying body before you can have my wisdom and expertise." He barked back a witty comment. Neji growled at him but left the matter at hand.
"Very well," he waved his hand indicating no one in particular. But one of his men came forward with a sword. He kneeled in front of Neji and presented the sword to him. Much like Neji was a god. The Hyuuga stood and accepted the sword. The scene made the three captives roll their eyes. The man stepped back and Neji stepped down from the throne. Kakashi stepped down behind him. Neji trailed leisurely up to the three.
"… You're going to do the dirty work yourself this time? How honest of you." Tsunade mocked him.
"Shut up, you're opinion of my choices and actions are of no concern to this world. Your fate with us has ended."
"You and your crap of fate. When will you learn that not everything is about fate and destiny?" Tsunade stared at him with dismay. Anger projected through Neji's eyes.
"Push her down!" He ordered Kakashi. "You'll be the first to go." However Kakashi didn't move. He looked back at the white haired man.
"What are you waiting for?" He shouted at them.
"… I don't think killing them is the best idea." Kakashi shrugged.
"What do you mean?" Neji turned to the two menacingly.
"If we kill them then we're really no better than them. They killed with no reason other than Sasuke's personal pleasures. This rebellion formed because we opposed to reckless killing and mistreating of corpses… we're not going to become them." Kakashi placed his foot down.
"Are you opposing my rule?" Neji shouted at Kakashi.
"Of course not but I am advising you that killing them is not right."
"Then what is the right way?" Patience was running thin for Neji. He gripped tightly onto the sword contemplating who would be his first victim. He stared wide eyed and challenging at Kakashi.
"I don't know." Kakashi admitted. Neji growled loud and pushed Kakashi away from him.
"If you do not know then stop getting in my way!" He shouted. "You two!" He pointed to one of the soldiers standing at attention around the throne room. "Hold her down!" He ordered. The two soldiers pushed Tsunade down onto her back and restrained her limbs. She fought them forgetting the binding spells. They activated sending her down a spiraling trip of dizziness. Tsunade groaned at its overwhelming sensation. Vaguely she registered Neji's amused words of insult.
"Your days are over, Tsunade. Never shall you mock me again." Neji raised the sword above her heart. "Today you die!" He shouted in victory.
"NO!" Sasuke and Orochimaru shouted. They rushed forward instinctively. Neji turned to them alarmed, his arms faltered. However the two crashed onto the floor. Pressure wrapped around their bodies depriving them of freedom and oxygen. They groaned and choked at Neji's feet. The Hyuuga smirked at kicked Sasuke's head, the raven groaned upon contact.
"Useless," he ridiculed before turning back to Tsunade. "Good bye, my lady." The use of her title stimulated his joy of killing her. He raised the sword again ready to plunge right through her heart.
"Wait!" Gaara dashed into the throne room. He didn't appear shaken but his words were distressed. Neji hollered incoherent words and glared murder at the redhead.
"What now?" He shouted. Gaara walked forward to stand nose to nose with Neji.
"You can't kill them." The command was simple.
"You too?" Neji bellowed. "First Kakashi and now you! If you two are so opposed to my way of rule then why did you not fight for the throne? You two have no rights to stop me! You forfeited your rights the day we succeeded!" He turned back to Tsunade and raised the sword once again. Gaara surged forward grabbing Neji's arms; restraining him.
"No!" He shouted. The Hyuuga pushed against him knocking Gaara away. The redhead didn't give up. He lunges once more this time disarming Neji in an instant. Gaara backed up with the sword positioned at Neji. They glared at each other unmoving. The air thickened between them mirroring their stress. Everything came to a standstill around them. Silence engulfed the throne room and spiraled around the two opposing men. Abruptly Neji swooped in with an attempt to retrieve his stolen sword. Gaara pulled back just out of Neji's reach. He kicked Neji's hand away by the wrist and rounded to his back confusing the Hyuuga. Taking his confusion to advantage Gaara turned to Kakashi quickly.
"Kakashi!" He shouted to the man, an order unspoken. Kakashi nodded understanding Gaara's order. He sprinted in and grabbed the three who lay forgotten on the floor. Quick and out of the way he retreated to a corner far away from the fight. He placed Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Sasuke gently against the wall before turning back to the fight. Gaara was dodging a series of attacks from Neji. Every time Neji encloses his hands thinking he got the sword Gaara would slip away by knocking his arms away. The two danced around the throne room playing their little game until Neji grew tired. The Hyuuga fell back for a half a second before dramatically pouncing in on Gaara. Neji football tackled the redhead to the ground and made a grab for the sword. Gaara sputtered unprepared for the barbaric attack. Neji pinned him down by kneeling onto Gaara's arms. The redhead choked out a small cry of pain. Atop of him Neji smirked and raised the sword.
"I was going to do away with Tsunade first but if you'd like to go first then be my guest!" Neji laughed. Gaara struggled beneath him. He cursed and cried out in frustration. Then he eyed the sword above him. His eyes narrowed at it.
"Even if I die I won't let you kill them!" Gaara shouted.
"Why not? You weren't opposed to keeping them prisoner. Why oppose to them dying?"
"Because it would make us no different than them! Enough blood has been shed! Too many people have died for them! Enough is enough!" In reply Neji applied more pressure to Gaara's arms. The redhead cried out in pain. Neji laughed.
"Then die!" With a smile Neji plunged the sword down but he was thrown back upon impact. A bright dark ocean blue light blinded the throne room before subsiding. The Hyuuga clattered to the floor disarmed once again. He scurried into a sitting position and stared at Gaara. The redhead sat up coughing and rubbing his arms. Slowly his eyes trailed down to his pocket where Naruto's necklace is. It glowed with a dark ocean blue.
"What is that? What do you have on you?" Neji shouted. Panicked the Hyuuga snatched up the sword. He swung it in circular motions above his head as he charged for Gaara. He slashed down at Gaara. The redhead moved back and kicked the sword out of his hands. It soared through the air and hacked into the castle wall. The dark ocean blue glow enveloped Gaara and he stood unsteadily. Neji backed away from the suddenly eerie looking man.
"Who are you?" He shouted instantly recognizing this man as no longer Gaara. Whoever he was started to laugh at him. "Answer me!" He shouted offended. Paying no attention to Neji Gaara turned to Sasuke who sat exhausted in the corner. He shifted his head to the right and stared at the raven curiously. Sasuke stared back. A sense of familiarity gnawing at the back of his mind. He too can see this was not Gaara. The soft dark ocean glow gave him a warm cozy feeling unlike Neji who was inching away from it. Gaara's lips lifted into a small smile and a spark ignited in Sasuke. His eyes widened in recognition.
"Naruto," he whispered tearfully. The smile widened.
"Sasuke," the blonde's voice filtered through Gaara's lips overlapping the redhead's own softer tone.
"Naruto!" Sasuke made to get up but fell over, the pressure on his heart restraining him.
"Don't move Sasuke." Naruto voiced his concern. Sasuke leaned back clutching his heart and stared at Naruto. He watched as Naruto maneuvered Gaara's body back towards Neji. The Hyuuga growled at him with descended fangs.
"How are you here? You died!" His words muffled by his fangs.
"Ghosts do exist, Neji. I had planned to leave everything behind but it is apparent I cannot." He advanced steadily on Neji who backed away. "What's wrong? Afraid of me?" Knowing he's been mocked Neji crouched and growled challengingly at Naruto. Gaara's body relaxed into a backwards slouch. His arms rested on his hips. He smirked as Neji thrust his body forward and swiped at Gaara's throat. Naruto simply pulled the redhead's neck back and sidestepped the Hyuuga. He rounded the Hyuuga and tripped him in the process.
"You're going to have to do better than that." Naruto mocked him further. Neji lunged from the floor to tackle him. Working by instinct Naruto released Gaara's body. The redhead's body fell to the floor as the dark ocean glow swept through Neji. Neji stopped as he felt a hard push as Naruto passed through him. The dark ocean glow passed through tugging his soul along. Once disengaged from the living, Neji's body fell lifeless and hollow to the ground. His pupils dilated and he stopped breathing.
Everyone stared in awe as they watched Naruto, the dark ocean glow, clashing with a green and grey buzz of light that was presumed to be Neji's soul. Electricity crackled between them as they hurtled around the throne room biting and tearing at each other. Suddenly Naruto grew in size and engulfed Neji. He spat Neji out and the Hyuuga collided with the floor. The green and grey light began to fade. It rested against the floor and wavered before disappearing all together.
"Naruto," Sasuke stood gingerly from his corner. He reached out towards the swishing ocean glow. Hearing his name Naruto swooped around and landed on the ground in the form of his material body. He blinked several times adjusting to materializing. He looked at himself. He was transparent but held color and identification. Everything his living body had he has.
"Naruto," Sasuke called his name again. The blond turned to the raven and smiled wide.
"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted happily. He rushed forward but passed right through the raven. They stood stunned. "Oh… Oh… wow…" Naruto started to laugh at his own mistake. "Well… I guess we can't touch anymore. That's a shame, right Sasuke?" He laughed it out as he came to stand in front of the raven. This time taking extra precaution to avoid the raven. He ended up rounding Sasuke by a good five inches making it apparent that he was avoiding him. Sasuke didn't say anything. Instead he reached forward towards Naruto's face. His hand passed right through. Naruto made to pull away but Sasuke shook his head.
"No, don't, don't pull away." Sasuke whispered. The two stood staring at each other wanting to touch but unable to. Their moment was destroyed when Tsunade and Orochimaru limped their way towards Naruto. Both of them leaning heavily upon each other in support.
"How'd… How are you here?" Tsunade asked. Naruto turned to her.
"Strong ambition…" he answered simply.
"Strong ambition? For what? How?" Orochimaru was already spinning his curiosity. Naruto moved so he could address them properly.
"After I died I was ready to leave. I was already on my way but then I heard Sasuke calling my name." The blond spared Sasuke a glance. "He sounded so broken. I couldn't leave him but I was already on my way. The farther I went the more I wanted to go back. The feeling grew and the next thing I knew I was back here in the castle. I saw what was going on and my desire to stay and help intensified. Now it's tied me down to the living world. I can't leave." Naruto gave a defeated look.
"How come there aren't more like you?" Orochimaru asked. Naruto shrugged.
"I don't know. To tell the truth I never knew ghosts existed till I became one." Naruto scratched the back of his head with a sheepish grin. "I guess there's a first for everything." He joked. But no one laughed. His smile died down with the atmosphere.
"It's great that you're back Naruto but," Tsunade turned to Sasuke. "Sasuke, finish this." He nodded in agreement. Sasuke turned to the rest of Neji's soldiers. He eyed them with restored authority.
"I'll let you choose!" He spoke loud and clear. "Surrender or become my prisoner!" He demanded. Instantly they threw down their weapons and helmets and bowed down. The servants who remained loyal to Sasuke cheered for Sasuke's victory. They danced about with smiles and laughter.
"SILENCE!" Sasuke hollered over the noise. His servants quieted down and waited for instructions. "I, Uchiha Sasuke, King of Incubi and Succubae hereby declare this war my victory!" He raised his fist into the air. Cheers roared around the castle as word traveled from one servant to another. Singing and victory cheers resounded in the throne room. More and more people entered to see Sasuke claim his victory. Appeased Sasuke turned to Kakashi.
"Kakashi, release these immediately." Sasuke held out his arms. Kakashi stepped forward with a small blade. He scratched across the diagrams and the shackles released Sasuke's wrists. It dropped to the floor with a clatter. The silver haired man repeated his actions with Tsunade and Orochimaru. Feeling their powers return the three exercised their joints getting the blood flowing. Once energized again Sasuke faced Tsunade.
"Feeling ok?" He asked. She nodded. "Go tend to Gaara. Make sure he's ok." She nodded and followed his orders. Together with two of her assistants they hauled Gaara away to the infirmary.
"What should we do about Kakashi? He's a traitor to our nation. We can't just forget about it." Orochimaru pointed to Kakashi who stood around idly. The raven sighed and turned cradling his head. He could feel the excitement catching up with him.
"I do not wish to kill anymore. It no longer appeals to me. Leave, you are hereby banished from all Incubi and Succubae territory. I do not wish to see you again." He waved Kakashi away. The silver haired man bowed.
"Thank you, your majesty for your mercy." In a sudden breeze Kakashi disappeared.
"Sasuke," Naruto called him. He turned to find the blond standing over his own necklace. He gave him a pleading look. Sasuke chuckled and walked over. Picking it up Sasuke placed it around his own neck.
"I'll keep it with me forever." Sasuke promised him.
"I'll forever be with you." Naruto promised.
OH MY GOD! NARUTO'S BACK!
Tsunade disinfected Gaara's wounds and bandaged them up. The redhead laid sleeping on one of the infirmary beds recuperating his spent energy. She sat idly by his bed monitoring him. The door slid open and Sasuke walked in with Naruto floating behind him. She stared at the blond, not used to entities like him.
"How is Gaara?" Sasuke asked her.
"He's ok, there were some minor cuts and bruises but nothing too major… how are you going to treat his case?" Tsunade wondered. Sasuke brought over a chair to the side of Gaara's bed. He plopped down in a slouching manner.
"I don't know, perhaps I'll banish him like I did with Kakashi." Sasuke rubbed his temple.
"What? No way! You can't do that!' Naruto bellowed next to him.
"Why not?" Sasuke sighed getting ready for Naruto's famous arguments.
"Because Gaara stopped Neji from killing Tsunade." He said simply.
"He invaded our territory and kept Tsunade, Orochimaru, and me prisoner." Sasuke barked back.
"He may have done that but in the end he fought Neji to keep you guys alive!" Naruto pouted angrily. "He risked his own life for yours!" He shouted.
"Ok! Enough!" Sasuke shouted getting caught up in the situation. "Gaara may have fought for our lives but so did Kakashi and he was banished. It is only fair that I banish Gaara as well. He betrayed this kingdom and was one of the masterminds to the invasion. I cannot ignore those capital offenses. Please do not fight me on this Naruto." Sasuke pleaded with the blond. Naruto pouted but let it go. He knew Sasuke was right. Banishment was already the lightest punishment Sasuke can give without having an angry mob on his ass. However he wasn't one to back down easily. He may agree with Sasuke but that wasn't the end of his argument.
"But—"
"It's ok, Naruto." Gaara spoke suddenly from the bed. Three pair of eyes turned to him. He had awakened and was sitting up. Tsunade reached over to help him and placed a pillow behind him. "Banishment is fine with me. I'm actually grateful to Uchiha-san." Gaara nodded at Sasuke.
"But Gaara!" Naruto whined.
"I know what I did is a crime in the eyes of the kingdom however I will stick to my beliefs. I believe your past activities are ruthless and inhumane. If I had been allowed to remain here I would have left anyway. I cannot remain living here knowing what kind of people you all are. I will gladly accept the banishment." He stated.
"Fine," Sasuke stood. "Sabaku no Gaara, you are hereby banished from all Incubi and Succubae territories for high treason. Once you're recuperated you are to leave at once." For dramatic effect Sasuke turned and walked out the door not sparing Gaara a glance. Naruto stayed behind though. He floated above the floor and gave Gaara a sad look.
"I'm going to miss you… again." Naruto sobbed.
"I'll miss you too." Gaara made to get up. Tsunade pushed him back down on the bed.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"Didn't you hear the king? He told me to get out once I'm recovered." Gaara eyed her.
"That may be true but you could at least stay a couple more days." Tsunade insisted by pushing him firmly onto the bed. He sighed.
"Fine, I'll stay for one more day. But I prefer to leave as soon as possible." He grumbled and lied down. Soon he was fast asleep. Tsunade huffed at his sleeping form.
"And here he said he was recovered. Look at him! He fell asleep again!" She scolded. Naruto chuckled.
"Oh just leave him be, he's eager to leave that's all." He floated away while waving good bye in a goofy way. She laughed at him. Then sighed content. She felt complete once again now that Naruto's returned. It came as a surprise but she was happy he was back. Sasuke wasn't the same after the blonde's death. Now Sasuke looked more alive than he's been for months. She tucked Gaara in and locked the infirmary door so no one can disturb him. Walking down the hallway she stretched and yawns. Suddenly tired from the day's event she climbs the stairs to her room ready for a nap that she has dreamed about for months in the cold dark dungeon. Falling atop her long missed bed she snuggled in and drifted away.
Back in the infirmary Gaara turned onto his back and opened his eyes. He stared up at the ceiling pondering over his thoughts. He turned to the locked door. Sitting up he tugged on his shoes and grabbed his possessions from Tsunade's table. Tucking them back onto his person he opened a window and sat on the windowsill. He turned back to the locked door.
"Good bye, Naruto," and he jumped out leaving behind nothing of his existence.
A sudden spark pulled Naruto to turn around and look behind him. He cocked his head to the side in confusion. He was sure someone called his name. A weird nagging feeling yanked at his soul; disappointment he identified. His transparent hand rested upon where his heart would be if he was still alive. His eyes trailed the empty hallway from walls to floor to ceiling hoping to spot the source of his sudden disappointment.
"Naruto?" Sasuke called from ahead of him. The raven looked back expectantly. "Are you ok?" He asked concern and proceeded to walk back to the blond when Naruto turned back around with a small smile. The blond shook his head and dropped his arm.
"Yeah, I'm fine… just a bit drifty." He joked with laugh. Sasuke snorted as he continued walking with Naruto floating along side of him.
"Really now? Don't drift away Naruto." Sasuke purred. If Naruto was still living he was sure he would have blushed redder than a tomato at Sasuke's look. He wanted to slap Sasuke but refrained himself from doing so. He knew what would happen and he wasn't going to allow that to ruin their reunion. Instead he rushed ahead of Sasuke.
"Come on! Let's go into town! I can't wait for everyone's reaction to my return!" He soared and twirled around excitedly. Sasuke chuckled at his childish antics before running to catch up with the blond.
"Oi! Dobe! Slow down!" He shouted at the already disappearing blond. Naruto laughed in response before twirling back towards Sasuke. He swirled around the raven with a bright smile.
"Catch me if you can!" He declared the challenge before swooping away from the shocked raven. Shaking away his surprise Sasuke ran after the soaring blur of dark ocean glow.
A/N: Thank you for reading my story!
O_O THE END EVERYONE!
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I MANAGED TO END A STORY! OH MY GOD THIS IS A FIRST!
I actually managed to end it on the 20th chapter… I thought it would surpass it but apparently I was wrong.
I know the ending is crap. I personally don't like it all that much but I didn't want to end it with Gaara jumping out of a window. -_- It didn't seem to fit for an ending so I decided to end it with Sasuke and Naruto reuniting and catching up.
I'm going to keep the poll for a sequel open for two more weeks. I hope everyone would vote for their desired sequel before the two weeks are up. After two weeks I am closing the poll and will be working on the most voted sequel.
Thank you once again for reading my story and hanging in there even though I killed off Naruto near the end.
I'll see you all again in the sequel to Therapist Equals the Rapist.
Bye Bye!
