Chapter 3- Why?
"Why…? Why me…?" I ask him, Gaara continues to hold and comfort me.
"Shh, it's OK, it's not your fault…" He tells me.
"But he… he hates me!!!" Tears continue to wrack my body as I double over in agony, my eyes went wide as I saw Naruto gently crawl up to me.
"Get… away… from… him…" Gaara warns him, but he keeps crawling towards me.
"Just… let me speak to him alone… I promise I won't lay a hand on him." He keeps up his quest to get to me, but sand starts to flurry around him like a snowstorm.
"I'll be watching, you lay a finger on him and all you will see is darkness." Gaara cautions, he walks out of the room and closes the door behind him.
"Sasuke… I am so sorry for yesterday, that wasn't me, that was the Fox talking…" he takes a step closer to me, the sand starts moving faster around him, I look towards the window in our door to see Gaara's piercing aqua eyes.
"Please forgive me…?" he takes my hand in his and the sand attacks his body, he puts my hand up to his lips and kisses it, the sands starts squeezing him.
"STOP IT, GAARA!!! PLEASE!!!" I shout out to him, the sand lets go of Naruto's unconscious body, I run up to him and drape my arms around him.
"Naruto…" my fingers wrap around his cold hand, I can see that his breathing is getting shallower so I call for a doctor.
"I…love…you…" he squeezes my hand weakly, I move so that his head in resting on my lap, I use my other hand to brush my fingers through is hair.
"I love you too, Naruto, forever and ever, just please pull through… Please… I will protect you forever and ever." I whisper, while I stare right into his eyes, the eyes that I fell in love with, the oceanic eyes and the cute whisker scars. Tears group in my eyes and start to fall, each one falling between each of the whisker scars. I watch as the light in his eyes slowly fades so they are just dull orbs.
"No… NARUTO!!!" The tears are coming faster now, I start to panic so I begin to do CPR, it has been about a minute after Naruto stopped breathing and I know that the body won't be able to be revived if over five minutes pass. I run out of the room and get some of those charge things that the doctors used on Gaara, my heart is pounding in my chest as I run back into my room. I charge them up and shout, "CLEAR!!!" Naruto's body reacts the same as Gaara's did, although his chest wasn't starting to raise and fall as oxygen pumps into his lungs.
"He's dead…" I admit to myself as tear after tear roll down my face, for the next ten minutes I watch in awe as my once boyfriend lays dead before me. Two minutes pass and a red aura surrounds his body, it lifts him up and he opens his eyes. "Naruto!!" I yell happily, but as I stare into his eyes I notice that they are changing, they are violet now, but they are slowly changing to red. He starts to growl and I start to get scared, I shout, "SOMEBODY!!!!!" doctors rush in and take out a syringe. "Kid, don't watch this, please don't…" one of them asks me.
"Alright…" I reluctantly say and I cover my eyes, but I start to peek. I watch the horrors pass before my eyes, the doctor jabs the needle into Naruto's arm and he starts convulsing, they drop and leave him there. As they walk out the door I overhear some of their conversation, they are talking about the latest football game while my boyfriend is laying here convulsing like he is having a seizure, eventually he stops and lays there, his chest heaving up and down.
"Sas-Sasuke…?" he asks me.
"Yes, Naruto?" I reply.
"Hold… Me…" he chokes out, and I do, I hold him tightly in my arms and he starts to snuggle, I can see his chest move up and down. His body is still somewhat cold, but it is starting to warm up again.
"I love… you." he says as I continue to brush his hair with my fingers, I want to move from this spot, but I don't dare, it might harm Naruto's recovery.
"You…can move… I'll stay… here…" his strangled tone worries me and I stretch and get a pillow from my bed. I gently put it under his head as I inch my way closer to Naruto's body, 'We need a blanket!' I suddenly think as I rush to get one from the closet.
"Sasuke… I don't need a blanket…" he whispers as I gently start to climb into the blanket.
"Yes you do…" I tell him as I gently take his limp body in my hands, I snuggle up to him and delicately brush his hair with my fingers.
"No I don't…" he tells me as he starts to smell my pillow and my body, I look curiously at him.
"I love the way you…smell…" he says as he continues to smell me.
"OK…" I reply to the comment.
"I know it sounds crazy, but I really do love you, and I am so sorry about yesterday and earlier today…" he apologizes, tears form in his eyes and I forgive him entirely.
"It's OK… Shh, I forgive you, don't worry." I encourage him.
"OK!!" He starts to snuggle up to me and I hold him close to my body.
"I love you, Naru-kun." I told him.
"I love you, Sasy." He replies.
"Now go to sleep, please…" I ask him.
"But… I just got back!!" he protests.
"We will have plenty of time to catch up later…"
"But… I'm hungry…" he tells me and I can hear his stomach growling.
"Fine." I sigh and give up, "Let's go get lunch." I stand up and help Naruto.
"I can walk on my own, Sasuke." I know, but I don't care, I want Naruto to lean on my arm just in case so I hold him against my arm.
"Sasuke…" he starts to warn me but I take no heed.
"Naruto, I want you to hold my arm, I want you to hold onto me like you truly love me." I reply to his coarse warning.
He just rolls his eyes and does as I ask, I start to hum happily to myself and Naruto stares at me like I have uncovered a lost book or something, then he just smiles the wonderful smile he usually gives everyone, but something is different about this one, but before I can realize what it is, he shoots out of the room like fire was in it, I race after him, 'What the hell?!' I think to myself as Naruto makes a sharp turn, I slap my forehead and turn the corner right before Naruto makes a huge entrance by shouting, "I AM… BACK!!!" I just walk my usual pace into it, being my usual self as I follow him. Suddenly I feel a hand on my shoulder, I turn my head slightly seeing a glimpse of red hair and black ringed eyes. Anger boils beneath my skin as I make my hand into a fist, I notice that he doesn't have his tan bag so I dare to punch him.
"Don't. Touch. Me." I spit the words out as I punch him, I walk away as he crumples to the ground in pain.
"SASUKE!" I hear someone shout so I look toward the person who yelled my name, seeing it was Naruto I walked over to his table and sat down, I see Haku, Zabuza, Shino, and Sasori already at the table. Before I could get a word out, Naruto latches onto my arm, I sigh contentedly, noticing that people are staring, I clear my throat and am about to tell them the big news when everyone shouts, "CONGRAGULATIONS!!!" Naruto beams, and I smile at him. I kiss his cheek lovingly and he leans his head on my shoulder. Everyone makes a content sigh and coos at how cute we are together before they just stop, not another word comes out of their mouths so I look around, sure enough, Gaara is glaring at each and everyone one of them, 'Enough is enough, this has got to stop!' I think as I stand up and walk over to him.
"Gaara." I curtly say to him.
"Sasuke." He replies.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" I ask him.
"Umm, eating my lunch…? If that's against the law, that's news to me, please don't arrest me!! I beg of you!" is his sarcastic reply.
"The only thing I need you to beg for is your life tonight at midnight, your hands will be bloody with your own blood, your body will be convulsing like you're having a seizure, your heart will pound in your chest as I rip it open with a sharpened bicycle spoke. For the final touch I will rip your heart out of your chest and you will see your heart pound one last, and final time before you see complete darkness…" I chuckle coldly and watch his every move, he seems unfazed at first, but then I think he realizes who was talking to him because tears come to his eyes and he starts hyperventilating. I take it all in and memorize the scene before me.
"Any questions…?" I ask him, but receive no answer so I take that as a 'no', and I just walk away like I just commented on his new hair-do while he is freaking out.
I get back to the table and sit down, Naruto latches back onto my arm and I kiss the top of his head affectionately, I heard his delighted mewls and smile, I sense someone behind me and I turn around to see Gaara, his eyes hold a deathly glare which is only meant for me as he says, "Wouldn't that be a shame if that happened to you first…" I just turn around and ignore him because I know it is just a hollow threat.
"What was that about!?" Haku asks me.
"Oh, nothing, just something about a threat he received from me concerning something I would rather not talk about to anyone except Naruto." I reply.
"Oh, OK, that is fine." He dismisses the subject.
I steal a few bites from Naruto's pizza, much to his dismay, and some of his carrots which he doesn't mind and notice that lunch is over so I gather Naruto by saying, "Come Naruto, time to get back to our room." He protests at first but eventually I make him an offer of which he can't refuse. At first, he reluctantly walks out of the cafeteria but in due time he is humming and practically dragging me down the hallway to our room.
When we get to our room he throws the pillow and blanket off the floor and onto my bed, he pushes the two beds together and jumps onto the beds. Before I can protest, he switches our pillows so he has mine. My right eye twitches before I remember what he said earlier and just smile at him, he smiles back and my heart melts as I crawl onto my side of the bed. I remember that we both have to take our medications and I remind him, "Naruto, pill time, after that you can snuggle all you want with me." Instead of protesting like I thought he would, he just nods and walks over to the counter where we both keep our pill bottles. He gets one glass of water from the bathroom before walking over to me, I see him take his, he hands the glass and my bottle over to me and I take mine. After I swallow, put the cup and pill bottle onto my night stand, my face immediately is slammed down into the bed and I feel Naruto hugging and snuggling up to me.
"Umm, Naruto?" Is my reply to his outright behavior.
"I wanna snuggle!" he begs me.
"Alright, we can snuggle, but can I get into a comfortable position first?" I ask him.
"Fine…" He reluctantly says to me as I get myself into a comfortable position
"Done?" He asks me, and I nod to him, I feel his arms weave themselves around my waist. I feel his head on my shoulder and his warm breath against my neck. I start to blush and feel blood rush southward. He starts to kiss my neck, and move his hands all over my chest.
"Naru-Naruto…?" I stutter out.
"Yes, Sasuke…?" He pronounces every syllable of my name and I start to moan.
"You like that, don't you Sasuke…?" I nod and he continues to caress my chest.
"Turn around… I want to see your face." I do as I am told and as soon as I turn around, Naruto seizes my lips with his own. I whimper at the harshness of the kiss and start to worry that the Fox is coming out again, but Naruto starts to massage my lips with his and my worry melts away with every move. When Naruto ends the kiss, I snivel.
"Time to go to sleep…" He tells me and my right eye twitches, he smiles mischievously.
"It's only for an hour, don't worry, I will be here when you wake up…" He states as he yawns, I smile at him and he pecks my cheek once before wrapping his arms around me.
"I love you, Naru-kun…" I say.
"I love you too, my Sasy…" he replies.
I notice that my 'situation' is still there and I am desperate to get rid of it. I don't want to wake Naruto up by unwrapping his arms and walking to the bathroom, so I guess I will just have to do this here. I stretch to get a tissue from my night stand and take my hard cock out of my pants. I hold in a moan as the cold air hits it, I wrap my hand around it and start to pump. My sight goes blurry as I imagine Naruto's mouth being there, sucking and licking it. I continue to hold back moans as I get closer and closer, pre-cum leaks from the tip and I use it for lubricant. I stop my hand to hold back, I want to keep this as long as I can. After I calm down I start to pump again, my cock desperate for release. I use my other hand to cover the head with the tissue, I whisper Naruto's name as my eyesight becomes white and I cum. I clean myself up so Naruto doesn't realize what I did, I throw the tissue away and law there, waiting for sleep to take my body away.
Soon sleep regains my body and my dreams are filled with the future, I can see Naruto and myself by the Christmas tree, snowflakes dancing their way to the ground outside, a lit fire crackling in the fireplace. I notice gifts under the tree and give a curious look at Naruto, he merely smiles and tells me to wait a couple of hours. I look at the mantle, it standing proudly above the fireplace, there are four stockings hanging from it, I look above the stockings to see two school pictures representing a girl and a boy, both with black hair. The girl has oceanic eyes like Naruto and the boy has the coal colored licorice eyes that I have. Some of the girls hair is tied back in a beautiful, orange satin bow, the boy's hair was styled like Naruto's with gel. The backgrounds are both a ravishing navy blue, and I am amazed at how well they look like myself and Naruto. Suddenly my attention is snapped back to two identical twins bouncing on my lap, I smile at them and they smile wide smiles back, I tell them they can open up their presents now and they bounce with even more energy than before. They both rush to the Christmas tree and hurriedly, but carefully, look through the presents to find ones with their names on it. They both find four each and ask to open one, I can tell they love the mystery of opening them because the boy automatically asks for help in opening a remote control car. I walk into the kitchen to get some scissors and walk back, I kindly help the boy in opening the toy's packaging.
Suddenly the girl speaks up and asks if she can keep the bow for a new hair bow, Naruto replies, "Of course Tara! Why not? I am sure Sasuke would love to help you put that in, do you want to put it in your hair right now?" she nods and I walk over to her, I kneel down and gently take the bow from her, I tie it in her hair and ask, "Why don't you open your present now? I am sure you will love it." She nods again and begins to open the package. The boy asks, "Why isn't this incessant thing working?!" he tries moving one of the joysticks around and stares at it, "Leo, it is probably because it doesn't have any batteries, I will go get some." Naruto says as he stands up, the girl gasps as she gazes at the parcel, I look over her shoulder and see a beautiful silver charm bracelet accompanying a silver necklace with a locket on it, I notice that it also came with a sparkly bow. "It's so pretty…" she touches the locket and smiles, "Wow, Tara, it is so lovely, why don't you wear that when we go out to dinner tonight?" I ask her and she nods again, by this time Naruto was working on getting the batteries inside the controller, "Can I open the other presents now?" she asks Naruto, he smiles and says, "Yes, you may." She opens a slightly larger bundle saving the bow again.
The package contains a ravishing blue satin dress with black ballet flats and white stockings to match, she gently touched the dress as her mouth became an 'o' shape. I could tell she loved it because she smiled as she felt the fabric beneath the tips of her fingers, I gasp and say, "Tara! It is so ravishing!!!" she smiles at me before motioning Naruto to come over and hugs us both. "Thank you… So much, for everything…" she whispers in our ears. Leo starts to open up his next present and we all watch, Tara sits down and crosses her legs, she puts her hands politely in her lap and waits silently. "WOW!! IT'S SO COOL!!!!" he yells and we all smile, he lifts the present up to show us what it is, it's a toy plane, he tries to open it before giving up and asking Naruto for help. Naruto gently takes it out of his hands as he takes off the packaging and hands it back it him, Leo runs around with it in his hands as he makes airplane noises.
Tara spoke up and asks if she can open her third of four presents, Naruto and I both nod to her and she delicately opens her third gift, she again saves the bow. She slowly takes off the wrapping paper, the paper looks so strong but she guides it off the box with ease. "Wow…" I again look over her shoulder to see a face of a beautiful porcelain doll with brown hair and blue eyes, "What are you going to call the doll, Tara?" I ask and she replies, "I am going to call her Joy…" I respond, "That is a gorgeous name…" She looks up at me with eyes filled with happiness, I smile at her and she again smiles back. Leo clears his throat and asks to open his third present, Naruto nods again and he attacks his present, I merely chuckle as I notice how much Leo is like Naruto, not only in looks, but his personality is almost identical to my Naru's. Leo holds his third gift up for all of us to see and I notice that it is a remote controlled dinosaur, he again tries to open it up and succeeds. "Yes…" he cheers to himself as he throws the packaging away, "Ha! You can't beat me!!!" he yells at the trash can. I hear Tara giggle to herself and I whisper in her ear, "Come on, Tara. You can do it, giggle out loud…" and she does, she giggles out loud and it is music to my ears.
"I am going to open my last present now…" she announces, I gently hand it to her and she took it, her small six year old hands looking so tiny under the box. She sits down and places the box down so delicately, I almost forget that she is six. She gasps for the final time as she looked down at the box, it holds, so sensitively, her last gift, it is a breath-taking sight, I silently look over her shoulder and gasp myself as I comes face to face with an extraordinary coat, it has a navy blue and orange spiral on the back, and I guess that is our family symbol, it was black and red with white clouds on the inside pockets. It is embroidered with her name and I gasp at the sight, such a wonderful gift that should be put to good use but yet be kept in top condition. "Oh my… Tara, I am speechless as to the beauty of this coat." I say, but I look to Naruto worriedly, as if to say 'We have to talk, later…'
"Wow, Tara, it's so fine." Naruto says but continues, "Sasuke, why don't you open your gift?" he asks me and I look towards the tree, seeing that there is four more presents, I bite my lip and start to chew it, but eventually give up and just crawl towards the tree. I gently pick a small box, I untie the ribbon and give it to Tara for a hair bow. I notice that it is a jewelry case and gently open it, there, reflecting in the light of the fire, I see the most beautiful platinum ring with engraved letters saying, 'I love you, forever and ever, I can't picture a world without you by my side…' my heart melts and I look towards Naruto pleadingly, he just smiles and nods, tears of happiness flood my eyes as I carry the small box to him. He takes it from my hands and removes the ring from the case, he takes my hand in his and puts it on my ring finger while asking me, "Sasuke, will you marry me?" My other hand goes to my mouth, "YES!!!! Of course!!!" I embrace him and kiss him passionately, my lips claiming his for my own, my arms wrap around his neck and push his head too make the kiss more forceful, by the time we reach for a breath we are panting.
"Naruto…" I gasp, I remember the other presents under the tree and ask Tara and Leo to give me the rest, they comply and carefully hand them to me. "Thank you." I say as I put the gifts in my lap. "Your last gift is from the kids and I…" Naruto says as I slowly unbind the ribbon, I see a small box and take the top off, sitting inside is a small statue of a chibi nine-tailed fox, behind it is an orange spiral, I smile to myself as my thoughts trail off. "Do you like it, Sasy?" Naruto asks me and I nod my head, completely speechless to the gifts I have been given. I forgot what I gave Naruto and I wait for him to open his gifts, his hesitance worries me and I hold my hand out for him to hold it, I guess that gives him courage because he unties the ribbon with one long move. He opens the jewelry box that I give him and sees another platinum ring engraved with, 'I have known you for years, but yet it seems like forever, we are kindred spirits and soul mates…' He seems speechless at first before I take his left hand and gently take the ring out of his hand. I slide it onto his ring finger while saying, "I love you so much, please marry me?" My Naruto is completely wordless as he kisses me, after the kiss ends he replies, "Of course, I love you with all my heart, my soul, and so much more. I can never see anything clearly without you by my side, my thoughts aren't all jumbled up into one crammed place. There is space and air, room to move about, I love you, Sasuke because I know that I do the same for you, I know that you would want to be together with me for the rest of our lives, however long that may be. You see me for who I truly am, you bring out the best in me, my best combat fights are with you, you make my strength rise up to the surface and reunite with my being, even if it has to be only for a few minutes or two hours."
"Sasuke? Sasuke? Sasuke?!" someone starts to shake my body up and down, my thoughts start to jumble as I am brought back to reality. I moan in agony as a headache starts to form, but my vision remains black. My throat hurts so much that it prevents me from speaking out, all I see is parts of my dream pass in front of my eyes, I want so much to fall back asleep, but with this 'someone' shaking me I don't think I can.
"Sasuke, please wake up…?" 'Someone' yells at me, I feel droplets of water on my face, the person has stopped shaking me and I am glad for it, I feel the person's lips on my own but I don't return it, I think I forgot because I am starting to run out of air. My muscles are stiff and my joints are stuck, I can't breathe now and the 'someone's' tongue is invading my mouth. I start to struggle for air, but the person either doesn't notice or doesn't care. I start to wish that I would just pass out because of lack of oxygen. My moans of struggle start to become more evident as the person went on, I hope that 'someone' would stop, finally, I got an idea, I bite hard on the 'someone's' tongue and I hear them yelp in pain. I start to taste a liquid that tastes like copper, it is too watery to be milk and it is to thick to be water, so I am guessing it is blood.
I feel my body being moved and I slowly drift off back to my dream world, my sight goes from black to white, I see myself, standing there, looking amiss. I hear nothing, I feel nothing, I smell nothing. I shout out my name, but it seems that the sound only goes so far before it fades. I frown and continue to watch my other self, but the body wasn't moving. I try to step forward but I am frozen, I turn around in my spot, eyeing my surroundings closely, but all I see is white, pure white. I reach out, but don't touch anything, suddenly, I feel a slow wave of air, it is warm and smells of flowers.
"Help… Me…" I whisper, and continue to reach out. I wish Naruto was here, maybe he would know what to do. "Naruto…" I pronounce every syllable, tears start to sting my eyes as I remember that he is not here. Suddenly, my surroundings change as I am transported onto a beach, my shoes disappear and my jeans become longer. They tuck under my heels and the ocean flows over my toes, I feel a hand on my shoulder and I turn around. I gasp as I realize that the person standing in front of me is Naruto, I smile and he smiles back, but his teeth don't show, his eyes don't squint, and his face is stiff, like he has to force the smile. I put my hands behind his head and bring his lips to mine, his are cold, and not soft like the real Naruto's is. The tears flow down my cheeks, I don't feel as if he is kissing me back, I break the kiss and frown. "You aren't Naruto…" He continues to hold me with those cold, frozen hands, it doesn't look like he's breathing, but I don't worry, I actually don't care, if this isn't Naruto, then I don't give a fuck. I would rather die than cheat on Naruto, that's when the 'Naruto' in front of me starts to shimmer and ripple, like your reflection in a pond, when suddenly a drip of sweat drops and hits the surface of the water. I hear an orchestra of sounds, from a distance, but yet so close I could almost touch them, it ranges from the sound of a thunderstorm, to the sounds of a breeze through a forest.
The shape from 'Naruto' changes into a shape that can only be described as water floating in the air, it plays scenes of my childhood, I see my mother and my father again, all the people that were killed during the massacre, "Mother, Father, Itachi…" I spoke involuntarily, when suddenly I gasp and see Naruto standing there, I see that he is trying to coax me to go into the floating water mirror, I shake my head and mouth, "How do I know you're the real thing?" he mouths back, "If I'm not, you can go back through the door…" I still have my doubts, so I mouth, "Why don't you come here?" he shakes his head as I suddenly realize that I am not actually on a beach, I am dreaming. But this is a nice dream, a friendly one that I don't want to end so quickly, so I mouth, "Why not?" he mouths back, "Because I want you here, I don't want to go into your dreamland." I suddenly comprehend that this isn't the real Naruto at all, Naruto would gladly accept my offer and glide out of the floating water mirror, hold me and caress me until I felt warm or wanted to dance. I mouth as a reply, "I want to dance with you…" he shakes his head again, so I give up, I turn my back on the Naruto impostor and my whole body starts to shake as my eyes fill with unused tears. 'What is happening to me…?' I think to myself as I sit down on the beach, I hold sand in my hand and watch as it sifts through my fingers. 'What have I ever done to deserve this…?' I contemplate to myself and I lay down. My hair's getting sandy, but I don't care, I look up at the sky with the suns rays warming my skin, I see clouds pass by in different shapes and sizes. I smile and lick my lips, a small shine emanates from my lower lip as the suns rays bounce off.
I recite a poem that Itachi wrote me the night of the massacre:
I leave all those whom I loved behind,
My soul cast away like crumpled paper,
But I sit here alone and depressed,
I kiss death as if it is a horrible thing,
But I know it is a lovely, beautiful thing,
All of my friends sit and cry,
My dead body laying in a black rimmed casket,
Everyone stares ahead hoping that I will rise again,
But I won't, I never will, my heart stopped beating,
It stopped beating the moment I realized everyone abandoned me,
I cried out but received no reply,
I sat in the corner, crying my eyes out,
Shadows bounce off my tears displaying acts of uncertainty,
My beloved's face on every one.
That person, is you Sasuke, I love you, with all my heart.
Someday you will understand why I did this, I am sure you hate me right now, but I can't seem but hope that you will forgive me one day, and on that day, you will write to me, sending it to this address, I have made sure that I receive it the moment it arrives, I don't care what I have to do, you are my little brother, and I know that you dislike me calling you that but, it is not an insult, merely a gesture of affection. I have to go now, I hear your footsteps and your cry for Mother and Father. I am so sorry that I have to do this, but I really want you to live a happy life, one that you will not get here in this house, I am sorry I have to put you in a psyche ward. I want you to always be safe, and always be happy, at first, you will be annoyed with your roommate, Uzumaki Naruto, but you will grow to love him and care for him. It will take time, just like it will to forgive me. I love you forever, , ITACHI
I never understood why 'love, Itachi' was in capital letters, but yet, I know why he did this, he loves me, and wants me to have a good life. I don't think he ever wanted me to have to come here, but I believe that it was for the best. I believe that I will have to stay here until he gets things in order. When that time comes, I hope that I can take Naruto with me, if I can't, then I guess I will stay here.
I get up and prepare to get ready for sundown, when suddenly my surroundings start to shimmer, I look strangely at it and notice with every sparkle, I start to see that it is becoming a dark room, I see a man, dressed in all black, with long, cascading hair. He turns to me, his hair swaying to the motion of his body, I look into his eyes, like black marbles, void of emotion until he lay his eyes upon me. His eyes fill with unshed tears and he runs up to me, captures me in his arms and starts to hug and hold me. He purrs words into my ear of that of a Father, I smile and hug him back, tears of joy spring into my eyes and roll down my cheeks, what a happy moment in my life.
His arms are cold, just like Naruto's lips, I look into his eyes and he smiles, but it's just like Naruto's, completely barren, empty, and I don't understand, 'Why is this happening, why is there fake emotion…?' I contemplate myself. "I love you, little brother!" he pokes my forehead and I step back. Completely taken aback by what he said, I am puzzled at first, but finally understand, my mind wants me to live these dreams, completely accept the differences and be happy with the changes. I am not happy with the changes, not happy about the way people are completely counterfeiting these emotions. "I'm kind of tired, may I take a nap…?" I ask him, he nods as he put his hand on the small of my back and leads me to a bedroom, I lay on the bed and curl up in a ball. Itachi curls up beside me and I snuggle up in his arms, I mewl and feel his lips on the top of my head, he whispers, "I love you, Sasuke. Have nice dreams!" I just smile, knowing that he doesn't say that to anyone else.
I start to dream, but they are just a flurry of pictures in a blizzard of emotions carrying my thoughts like leaves floating down from the tree. "Help me… Itachi…" it comes out as a coarse whisper, when it really wants to come out as a scream. "I'm here, I'm here, baby brother…" Itachi wraps my arms around my waist and start to calm down. I giggle and fall back asleep. "Sasuke, I'm here, please snuggle…" Itachi susurrations in my ear. I do as he says and snuggle up to him. "I love you, Itachi." I whisper back. He smiles and caresses my back, gently cooing into my ear, making my heart flutter with each note of his vociferation.
I am suddenly pulled from my dreamlike state and thrown into a huge amount of physical pain. I bite my tongue and will my head to go back to dreaming, it's no use, the suffering is too great. I start to wince as I feel something being jabbed into my stomach, I hear voices speaking facts like, 'The patient is responsive to pain, pulse is 180/40.' And stuff like that. All to suddenly I hear frantic screams and I am being shaken, quickly I hear the scuffling of feet and the shaking stops, but the screams become more and more frantic as I am put down again, gently this time. I feel a hand stroking my face leading to my hair, finger brushing it and getting the tangles out. Someone kisses my forehead and I hear them walk off, I breathe out when I hear the door close delicately, hoping the person didn't hear me. I try to turn on my side but much to my dismay the doctors put an IV in my left arm so I can't move and lay unto my side.
The pain starts to subside and I realize that I am fully awake now, I call for a nurse and one immediately appears by my side, a clipboard in her hand. "Hello, Mr. Uchiha, I see that you are awake." She smiles sweetly at me and I stare back, I frown. "Can I leave now? I have things to do." I inertly say, I mentally note the changes in her behavior, but I also note that I have to buy a camcorder and send a video of me to him. Continuing this mental to-do list, I list that I also have to snuggle with Naruto and take a shower. "I am sorry, Mr. Uchiha, I cannot allow that, your main doctor, a…" she checks her clipboard, flipping through papers and finally finds it, "Mr. Orochimaru…" she looks disgusted at the clipboard and mumbles to herself, "He's a really creepy doctor, but a damn good one…" and walks out, before exiting the room she looks back and tells me, "I am the main nurse on your case, just call for a nurse and if another one comes in, ask for a Shizune." I nod and hurriedly reply, "When can I get out of here? I really have things to do." she just giggles and responses, "We can have you out as early as next week, if you need things to do, I can get you a pen and paper to write them down, if you would like?" I nod again, she exits the room, but as soon as she disappears, she reappears. "Here you go, Mr. Uchiha. I hope you have a nice night, is there anyone I should be warned not to let in after hours? And I also need a list of people I may allow after hours. If that wouldn't be so much help." She hands me a white pad of paper and two writing utensils, a blue erasable pen and an orange mechanical pen.
I write down two lists, one is "PEOPLE TO ALLOW AFTER HOURS" which consists of: Naruto, Haku, Zabuza, Sasori, Itachi, Shino, and Hinata. The second one is "PEOPLE TO BAN FROM COMING AFTER HOURS" consisting of: Gaara, Temari, Kankouro, Ino, and Sakura. "I love you, Naruto…" I whisper to the paper. Just then, I hear a couple knocks on the door, I say, "Come in!" and nurse Shizune pops her head in, "I am not sure if I should allow this guy in, umm, I need those lists so I can ask for his name and see if he can come in…" she walks over to me and gently takes the pad out, she flips through the two pages like she did the clipboard and walks out once more. I hear mumbled voices and she pops her head in again, "Umm, Mr. Uchiha? Someone special is here to visit you." she smiles at me all too sweetly and I wonder who could possibly be here.
I nod for her to bring the person in, and she walks in, she nods to the person outside and they walk in. I gasp and motion for them to come and hug me. They walk up to me, gently say, "I love you, Sasuke…" and bear hugs me… "I love you too." I hug back, allowing my weak body to slowly sink into the protruding arms. I don't know if this is real or a dream, regardless, I like it, I don't care.
I close my eyes and lay back down, I feel a breeze with that smell and melt into it. I see Naruto's face lighting up the night. I smile to him, and I wish that he was really here with me. I feel the wind pick me up and swirl me around, my hair gently starts to spike up into it's usual fashion. I sigh and then the wind places me back down, I am gently placed on the ground and I start to walk. I stop and do a 360, trying to memorize where I am, I determine that I am on the same beach shore that I was when I hugged and kissed Naruto.
I sit down on the beach, eyeing the ocean tide, I don't know much about the ocean so I do not know if it is low-tide or high-tide. I silently watch the ocean climb the sandy beach like a rock climber scales a mountain. I watch as shells are scattered and taken from their place, I watch as the stars and the moon's light reflect off of the ocean. The clouds in the sky are limited, but yet so dense you cannot see through. I see a dolphin leap out of the ocean as it does a swan dive back into it. My fingers dredge into the sand and I dare to get up, I slowly walk to the wet sand, I get down on my knees and again my fingers spoon the wet sand, creating balls of the sand. I close my eyes as tears run down my face as I see the horrible sights before me, I see Naruto dying in a hospital bed, an IV dripping down into a tube that was attached to his right arm.
I see doctors going in and out of his room, with blood covered bandages dirtying their gloves and hospital coats. I look through the eyes of Sakura, who is crying her eyes out, whispering to Naruto that everything is going to be all right, that Sasuke will be there soon, just wait for him to get here. I see one cerulean eye open, but it looks half dead. I see Naruto trying to move his left arm, but Sakura stops him, "You shouldn't move, it could damage whatever healing you have done." He only groaned in response, he turned his head slightly and opened up both eyes, just staring at the hospital ceiling like it had something interesting stuck on it. He whispered something inaudible, Sakura furrowed her brows in response.
Suddenly, Naruto closes his eyes and his body starts to pale, his body becomes limp as I hear a loud, never-ending, 'beep' and I know that Naruto was gone, forever. I try to cry out his name but Sakura's body doesn't let me, it is as if I was put on mute. My, eh, Sakura just starts to break down in tears, nurses suddenly pour in and I know that they have been standing outside Naruto's room for at least an hour, so they have to have been waiting for the 'beep' to echo off of the halls. The nurses look disgustingly at Naruto, and sullenly at Sakura, they are probably sorry for the poor girl for even having to be around him, and then they must have realized that she considered Naruto a friend and they start to look at her the way they did him.
I gasp and wrench my eyes open, I never want to see that ever again, how Naruto looked so weak, how he just wanted me there but I wasn't… I get up to walk around, as soon as I start walking, there is a sharp pain in my stomach. I look down to see a strip of red, dripping down is a crimson liquid pooling around my feet. Unknowingly I scream out in pain, I crumple to the ground in agony, a look of pain probably etched into my face as I feel myself being ripped apart by an unknown source. A swarm of bravery swipes around me and I try to get up to walk, all too suddenly, the pain comes back and I crumble back to the ground, my sanity deteriorating right in front of me.
I pretend Naruto is here, caressing my cheek while humming into my ear a tune of happiness and hope. I lay down, forcing myself to forget about the pain and just focus on the imaginary Naruto. I feel his invisible hands migrate down to my neck, massaging all of my problems and pain away. Focusing on Naruto's hands has made me forget all of the pain now, it's like my blood soaking my shirt isn't there, like I am floating in the sky. "Naruto…" I whisper softly, almost silently wishing he was really here.
I feel stabs of pain and I dare to look down, I see the incision being sewn together. Again I sigh to myself as I feel something stabbing into the inside of my elbow, slowly I feel myself losing all the pain I had. I close my eyes, and I see a figure. The figure looks like my twin, only he has sickly pale skin and red ringed eyes, they are puffy like he has been crying. My body seems to ripple as my surroundings are changed, there is a river, and a blooming willow that seems to glow pink swaying in the nonexistent breeze, the figure is unexpectedly standing in front of a enlarged version of the gift Naruto gave me for Christmas, on the base Uzumaki Naruto is engraved. I see the motif's hand suddenly crackle and glow different blues, he holds it directly in front of his face, as if admiring his creation. All too soon his hand moves to right in front of his heart, he plunges the chakra ball into his heart and dies instantly, his lifeless body crumbling to the ground, the tears still wet against his cheeks, not yet dried. I gasp in dismay…
I am pulled out of my dream-like state as I crack my eyelids up, wincing at the sudden intrusion of light, I see a tuft of sunshine blond hair in the corner of my left eye. Unexpectedly that sunshine blond hair is right in front of my eyes as I soon see cerulean blue eyes staring into my onyx ones. Naruto is holding both of my hands in his, his thumbs, gently kneading my palms in circular motions.
"SASUKE!!!!!!!!" Naruto exclaims, I look at him… His eyes are red ringed from crying, and his sunshine hair is now a dull yellow, the grease caking onto it. His orange jumpsuit smells of dirtiness and of stale hospital smell. He smiles at me, his teeth are yellow from not brushing, his breath smells weird. I take a better look at his face, it is not tan, it looks frail and pale, as if he hasn't eaten for a long time.
"Naruto… Are… How…?" I can't seem to put a full sentence together, my throat is scratchy and parched, I try to swallow, but that only irritates it further, I grimace.
"I haven't left your side once since you went comatose…" He motions to a small table, it had bottles full of a yellow liquid, brown chunks float in some of them.
I gag… "I think I just barfed a little…" I cough and the small amount of vomit deposits onto my clenched hand. I wipe it on Naruto's jacket.
"HEY!!!!! THAT WAS MY FAVORITE JACKET!!!" I crack a smile at him and reply, "Apparently no your lucky one…"
I grab the front of his jacket and crush our lips together, our lips gently complete the others, pressing into more kisses. I wrap my arm around his neck and entwine my fingers into his greasy hair, I frown when I realize I'll have to clean under my fingernails next time I take a shower. I smile when I remember I am kissing the one I love, I feel him smiling back, my tongue tracing his bottom lip, begging for entrance, which he grants. Our tongues immediately meet each other and wrap around the other's. I nip his upper lip, and he moans in response, our tongues continue to battle for dominance. I drag him on top of me, although I feel his total weight on me, compressing my chest, I can't seem to feel any problem breathing. We continue to make out and I snake a cautious hand up his shirt, and start playing with a nipple, he moans and his delicious breath mingles with mine, I remember now why his breath smelled weird… He probably hasn't eaten for three days.
My fingers twist his hair and I apply more pressure so I can crush our lips together even harder, our tongues are still dancing their dance. I break our kiss, e are both panting, I look up at Naruto… His bruised lips from our kisses look absolutely beautiful on him, my hand is still playing with his hardened nipple.
I give him a mischievous smile and rip the IV from my arm, he looks worried at first, before I grab his jacket and gently take it off, revealing a black muscle shirt with an orange spiral on the front. I take that off too, divulging a tanned, muscled chest, I grab his shoulders and press our lips together once more, before I could make the move, Naruto shoves his tongue into my mouth, I chuckle and the sound waves vibrate all throughout his tongue and mouth. Again, Naruto moans, he does something unexpected, and shoves his hand up my shirt and plays with my right nipple.
"Oh GOD!!!" I moan.
He chuckles and replies, "You can call me Naruto if you want…" and gives me one of his signature smiles, I laugh, I actually laugh, and, again, he is shocked.
"You have a wonderful laugh, you should use it more often…" He compliments.
"If I used it often, it wouldn't be so special, I could wear it out!!" I fake pout and he only kisses me in response. Our tongues meet each other in an old greeting, gently cloak around each other. I flip us over and break our kiss, I start kissing and ravaging his chest. I stop right above the tattoo surrounding his belly button, and start biting and sucking, creating a hickey as big as his fist.
"TEME!!!" He pouts, and I peck him on the lips.
"Aww, is my Naru-chan feewing negwected?" I chuckle and he smirks, I start to leave a trail of hot kisses up and around his chest, all leading up to his mouth. I kiss his eyelids, chin, both his cheeks, and at the corners of his mouth before claiming his lips with my own. I open my eyes and see Naruto staring into my eyes, I stare back, forever drowning in the ocean of his eyes. Our tongues gently poke the other's, creating spikes of pleasure before they wrap together. I close my eyes again, and breathe deeply through my nose, filling my lungs with oxygen.
My hands start traveling his chest, my fingertips ghosting over his skin, feeling the muscles jump at my touch. I flip us over again so I am on the bottom, we continue to kiss. I grind my our erections together in a gyrating motion. My right hand plays with the elastic on the top of his pants, I can feel his erections pressing against his jumpsuit pants, threatening to rip them. My articulate fingers swiftly wrap around his cock the second I can get my hands into his pants. This time, he breaks the kiss, allowing me to give him a puzzled look, he merely smiles and takes off my shirt. He starts to ravage my chest.
"NARUTO!!!!!" I shout as I grind our hips together more. He takes my right nipple in his mouth and starts to suck on it, while pinching the other in between his index finger and his thumb. He moans and I feel as if I've been sent to heaven, waves of pleasure sore through my body and I get even closer to cumming… All too soon, he stops and takes off both of our pants so we are left in only our boxers. 'He doesn't have socks on…?' O wonder to myself before my lips are pulverized in a kiss. I break it and am panting when I state, "Need you… Naruto… Need you so much, please, FUCK ME!!!" I grant him permission and he instantly, but quickly, yet gently puts his hand down my boxers, he wraps his muscular fingers around my cock. "Do you… really want me, Sasuke…?" he sounds out all the syllables in my name with his silky voice to make me feel like I'm floating. I can only nod in replication.
"Tell me… Sasuke." He orders.
"Naruto… need you… SO FUCKING MUCH!!!" I submissively say. I rub his cock through his boxers, feeling every inch of it under my fingertips. I drag my finger up to the hem of his pants, then linger; making him jerk in need. I rip his boxers off and he does the same to me. Now, our bare cocks are pressing against each other, full slicked with pre-cum. Naruto slowly enters his index finger into his mouth, and slowly drags it out, I lick my lips tentatively. Suddenly, need controls my movement and I grab his shoulders, crush our lips together and cut off the kiss.
"If you don't fuck me, NOW, you're gonna regret it." I threaten in a seething voice, full of need and agony. Naruto slides his finger out of his mouth making a 'pop' sound. I watch his hand as it graciously moves to my hole.
"This might hurt… OK?" He asks and I nod.
He puts it in and a searing pain soars through my body, I cringe and he kisses me, gently melting away the pain with every move of his lips. With his other hand he gently caresses my chest. He starts to move his finger in and out of me, soon enough, I am bucking my hips trying to get even more of his finger inside me. He kisses me gently again, with his right hand he starts to play with my left nipple, and he enters another finger, this time, however, it doesn't hurt as much.
"Just one more finger, OK? Then all will be well." He whispers into my ear.
I nod in response, my sweat soaked hair slapping against my face. 'Just one more finger. Than all will be well.' Naruto's words echo in my head, I brace for the pain, and receive none, Naruto kisses me and murmurs, "Very good, Sasuke, you didn't even cringe that time…"
"You entered the finger?" I ask, flabbergasted.
Naruto nods in answer and starts kissing my neck, swaying his hips so our cocks rub against each other. I moan and beg, "Naruto… I'm ready…" He nods in understanding and I feel his cock against my hole. He pushes forward gently, and fire spreads from everywhere in my body, I bite my lip to keep from screaming. As soon as he is all the way inside me, he waits for a couple minutes until I got used to his size.
I nod and he starts to move, slowly, until I am bucking against him to go faster, he continues his slow pace and I'm in needy agony.
"Just… FUCK ME ALREADY!!!" I order him and he complies, suddenly, he goes faster.
"Oh… YES NARUTO!!!!! FUCK ME!!!" I scream in pleasure. Naruto's eyes suddenly turn violet and I get scared. He bares his teeth and bites down on my neck, then his eyes return to normal.
"My mate…" He coarsely states.
I only smile and kiss him, our tongues connect to create one, our bodies complete one another. Naruto reaches down and starts touching my cock, I moan and arch my back, our chests connect, I can feel his heartbeat on my chest, it is fast. My cock is so hard, and his touch is so feathery, I almost cum right then and there, but I hold back, I want to cum with Naruto, it would be more romantic.
"Sasuke… about… to… CUM!!!!" He stutters right before I feel his hot seed spill into me, I cum with him, mine sprays onto both of our chests, a spray hits me in the face, landing on my left cheek. Naruto does something unexpected, he gets eye level with me and then licks the cum off of my cheek. My cock gets hard again and I can feel Naruto's doing the same.
"Another round?" He asks and I laugh, to cut me off, he kisses me and I kiss back, I feel him start to move again and the pleasure builds up once more. To repay the favor I lean up and bite his neck, right where he bit me.
"My mate…" I smile and give him a peck on the mouth, "Now, fuck me hard…" I chuckle as he nods, he starts to thrust hard into me. Suddenly, his cock hits a spot and I see stars.
"Naruto… hit that spot again…" I beg, and he does.
"Oh… NARUTO!!!" I close my eyes as I feel my cock pulse, but no cum comes out, I open my eyes and look puzzled at Naruto, he cracks a devious smile at me and I just melt, suddenly, my urge to cum at all just melts away.
He pecks me on my lips and starts kissing the opposite side of my "mate-bite" and I buck my hips up. Naruto unexpectedly thrusts really hard and cum's inside me once again. He wraps a muscled hand around my cock and does a motion with his hand that automatically brought me to the edge.
"NARUTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I dedicated my orgasm to him.
"Yes…?" He jokes and I chuckle.
"I love you." I say, my lips lingering above his, all he does is kiss me back. He motions his head to the table, surrounded by the bottles was a video camera.
"NARUTO!!!!" I smile and attack him with my lips, I flip us over so I'm on top and I start to tickle him.
"SASUKE!!!!" He flashes a smile at me and starts laughing, trying to bat away my hands, I stop and lay on top of him.
Naruto gently falls into a deep slumber and I take one of out shirts to cover myself up, I chuckle as I put the cover back on to the camera, but not before I look at the camera and chuckle to myself, "This is gonna be funny." And flash a boyish smirk before finally putting the cover on.
I walk back to the hospital bed and crawl into next to Naruto, I snuggle up to him and whisper as I look up to him, "My natural body heater…" I lay my head on his chest and slowly follow suit in falling asleep…
My dreams are full of memories of me and Naruto, and I start planning about upcoming events. I start thinking about Christmas and Easter of next year. About all the fun we're going to have.
I wake up to find Naruto's arms wrapped around me, his eyes light up when he sees my eyes open. Azure meets ebony, I smile and kiss him lustily, but I control myself. I smile again and snuggle up to my human heater, Naruto wraps his arms around me tighter, as if he never wants to let me go. He kisses the top of my head and kisses my neck once, on the opposite side of the "mate-bite".
"I love you, Naruto." I whisper.
"I love you too, Sasuke." He replies.
"What'd you dream about?" I ask.
"Oh, nothing really, just about what we're gonna do after everything settles down again…" He chuckles and I can only guess as to what he is thinking, "What did you dream about?"
"I dreamt about us, about what our plans are at Christmas and Easter of next year." I reply.
"Oh? And what do you have planned?" He asks, surprised.
I chuckle and reply, "You'll see…" and I motion to the video camera.
"OH SHIT!!!!" Naruto yells, and runs to the camera.
"What's wrong, Naru-chan…?" I droll, slightly chuckling under my breath.
"I left the cover on when I turned on the camera…" He pouts, and I suddenly feel guilty, but than come up with a brilliant idea.
"Why… Why don't we play it back and see if you did?" I drape my arms over him and whisper into his ear.
"There'd be no point… I mean, it was my stupidity that got us into this mess… I feel like an idiot!!!" His body becomes tense as he says this and guilt drapes its devastating cloak over my shoulders. I start to massage his shoulders, making him relax a little bit, he moans in pleasure…
"OK… Maaayyyyybe I might wanna play it back just a tiny bit…" I chuckle, and was about to lead him out of the hospital room when I realize we don't have any clothes on.
"Uhh, Naruto… We need to get dressed again." I point out.
"Thanks, Captain Obvious." He states and I send a Signature-Sasuke-Stare at him, he only laughs, which makes me glare harder.
"You know I love you…" He flips us around and puts his index finger under my chin and looks deeply into my eyes.
"I love you too…" I purr as my eyes cloud over with devotion, behind my back, I take the cover off, Naruto doesn't seem to notice.
"Now, let's go get dressed…" he drones and picks up my black, long sleeved turtleneck, he gently puts it over my head and pulls it down over my head.
I smile and picks up his black muscle shirt, he raises his arms and I put his arms through the sleeves, gently pulling the shirt over his head and dropping it. He picks up my blue, plaid boxers and makes me sit down. I sit down and he gently pulls them over my legs, he cautiously pulls the elastic band over my cock and places it down two and a half inches below my belly button. I pick up his orange and black boxers, tentatively pulls them over his legs and cock, I tickle the sunbeam tuft of hair and then place the elastic band an inch above the tuft. He plucks my black pants off the ground and pulls them over my legs, the silky fabric gentle against my skin. I smile and peck him on the lips while buttoning my pants. I snatch his orange jumpsuit pants off the ground and smell them, I give a disgusted look at Naruto and he only shrugs, a motion I know that means he'll talk about it later. I pull the pants over his legs, meanwhile I grab his jumpsuit jacket off of the floor. He gets up and I put it on him, before zipping it up, I run my fingers all around his chest, just remembering the feel of the bare skin, Naruto shivers and I zip the jacket up.
I grab his hand and open the door, Naruto jumps and drops my hand, he quickly grabs the camera and throws the bottles in the trash, which makes me gag. Than returns to me, he laces his fingers between mine and we go down the hall. We walk up to the front desk and are immediately greeted with a blond drooling over papers. I clear my throat to try to wake her up, she does and looks up.
"What do you want, brat?" She gruffly asks.
"I am Uchiha, Sasuke and am here to get my Discharge papers." I coldly reply.
She throws the papers at me and returns to her sleep, an old man, with white spiky hair and spiky pony tail, dressed in a suit comes up and smacks the blond woman on the back of her head, which makes me chuckle. She wakes up and punches the old man in the face, he flies three feet before hitting the wall, passing nurses just sigh and shake their heads, some even roll their eyes.
"Good thing they're in a hospital…" I mumble under my breath.
"What was that, Sasuke?" Naruto asks, and I reply,
"Oh, nothing." I give him a peck on the lips and finish filling out the Discharge Papers. I walk up to the desk and the blond woman sits down.
"NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT, BRAT??" She screams on the top of her lungs, obviously annoyed.
"TUSNADE!!!" The old man screams behind her.
"SHUTUP, JIRAIYA!!" She yells back.
I clear my throat, "Excuse me…?" My right eye twitches.
"Yea, brat? Why are you here again?" She inquires and takes the clipboard from me.
"Discharge Papers… Remember, old hag?" I reply, dully.
She pff's and just shakes her head, goes into a drawer and pulls out a bottle of Sake.
"What the hell are you doing??" I ask.
"Drinking." She curtly replies.
"Drinking." I echo.
"Wow… You're a dumb one, aren't you?" She insults.
"Says the drunk who is supposed to be on the job." I throw back.
"Tsunade!!! You aren't supposed to drink on the job!!!" The old man yells.
"Pfft, deal with it." She shrugs off.
"Just give me my damn papers, you are trying my patience." I order.
"Whatever." She rips them apart and gives me the pink and blue parts.
I take them and Naruto and I leave the hospital. Outside, however, Gaara is sitting and waiting for me.
"My, my, do you need a ride?" He 'tsks'.
"How'd you know I was awake, Gaara?" I spit out with as much disgust as I can.
"Now, now, don't be so hasty. You didn't answer my question; do you need a ride?" He repeats.
I look at Naruto and he shrugs.
"I will take the ride, but what do you want in return?" I ask.
"Hmm, a favor?" He offers.
"What is this 'favor'?" I speculate.
"Hmm…" He smirks evilly, "Dinner." He states.
"No. Fucking. Way. In. Hell." I glare at him with daggers shooting at him.
"OK, than no ride." He shrugs and gets into the car.
"Wait! Gaara!" I shout, and Naruto looks like I just stabbed him, utterly broken.
Gaara steps out of the car with a triumphant look in his eyes, "What? Changed your mind already?" he asks.
"No, I just want a hug." I open my arms to him and he accepts it, I glance back at Naruto and he looks puzzled.
"OK, thanks for that, have a nice day." I glare at him and he gets back into the car and drives off.
Suddenly, I am grabbed from behind and am squeezed.
"Naruto?" I question.
He inhales a deep breath of my scent and I hear a low growl emanate from him.
"Naruto?" I repeat.
"Why'd you hug him?" Jealously laces his tone.
I step out of his arms and turn around, a conquering smile on my face as I hold up Gaara's wallet.
Naruto's mouth drops as he shouts, "SASUKE!!!!"
I grab the front of his jacket and plant a fierce kiss on his lips, "We have a ride…"
He glares at me, and then asks, "Wait… Why was Gaara in a car…?"
"I have no idea, guess we'll find out later."
