Keep this in mind…the shorter the story parts are…the longer the story will be, more parts, and less time to write them. Takes me about 20 minutes now instead of nearly an hour.

Oh...I'm only posting two today casue I've got an Orchestra concert to go to. We have to wear these stupid funeral looking dresses...I really hate it. Maybe I'll burn it afterwards...

"Hey Naruto. You uh…feel alright?"

He glanced up at his raven haired friend, then back out the window.

"What do you think? Iruka's dead…and I lost the one girl I thought really meant something to me."

"At least you aren't in your house now. You're out here, and enjoying your favorite drink."

The blonde didn't comment, only making Sasuke grow more troubled.

He walked around the table, and pulled out the chair, sitting down in it.

"So…want to tell me what happened between you two? Promise I won't make any dumb shit comments."

The blonde sighed, and looked down into the frappuccino he was swirling around.

"She took care of me for a week…never leaving my side. I had originally told her to let me die…but she was nearly in tears seeing me like that. I found myself…really liking her…a lot. Time passed till just two days ago. Hinata got sick, and fainted looking over me and not herself. I felt bad…and compelled to do something…"

"What was it?"

Naruto took a sip of his coffee before looking out the window.

"I kissed her. Said she'd never know it even happened."

"She does, doesn't she?"

The blue eyed male lightly nodded.

"Continue."

"I got out of the bathroom seeing her up. I asked how long…she answered long enough."

"Ah…so she was slightly pissed."

The blonde sighed, and continued. "She said it'd have to end where it was…that'd she'd be in big trouble, and hide what we have."

"So in basic terms…she's erasing all of what both of you ever had cause you had to go and kiss her saying that?"

Nodding, he finished up his story. "As she left after I tried to hug her, but she pulled away, I asked what happened to the girl I shared everything with…that saw me and her closest and best friend? She answered 'my heart has been broken by the one I thought I loved and trusted'…"

"That being you I assume?"

"Apparently…but I don't understand what I did wrong."

The Uchiha sighed, and leaned back, crossing his arms. "I guess…she's liked you all along…but you didn't notice. And when you decided to take action…you said that…not knowing she heard. Apparently it sounded wrong to her or something…so she was hurt. Apparently…she just gave up."

"That's it. Why would she just give up like that?"

Sasuke sighed, and got up from his chair. "I don't know. You're the one she's closest to…so you'll need to figure it out." He walked around to Naruto's side. "Good to see you again though. The others will be glad to see you too."

"Yeah…"

The raven ended it there, and walked out of the starbucks door to the plaza.

The blonde looked into the table, staring off.

I did probably get her in huge trouble…there is no excuse to go missing for a week on an island. She's suffering for me…and probably just had enough of it. On top of taking that comment thing wrong…I can't blame her. But it's just so sudden…and giving up just like that instead of trying. She started out shy…and started changing into a determined person. But why she'd just give up for those reasons…there has to be something else…

"You want some more coffee?"

He glanced over his shoulder at the slightly grinning Ayame. "No…I'm good. Thanks though…"

"Lost in thought again?"

He nodded. "I can't help…not good with that sorta thing. But maybe…he can."

She pointed out the window, and over to a bench. Naruto looked up, no seeing the male.

"Oh wow…he's sitting out in the rain?"

"Been for a good hour or so now…he hasn't gone to the school to teacher either after figuring out what happened to Iruka."

Naruto knew the man sitting outside with his head bowed down was having just as a hard time as he was. But the fact he didn't even get to see his best friend…that was the worst.

The scarred male got up from his seat, and grabbed his drink.

"Thanks Ayame…"

"No problem."

The blonde walked outside into the mornings pouring rain, and over to the bench, standing in front of the man.

"Good to see you Kakashi…"

Yup…a cliffhanger…but maybe not evil. Umm…still sort…but kinda has to be. Reviews are nice too!
