"Sasuke!"

Sasuke whirled around, his eyes wide. It was him. His long, flowing black hair was unmistakable.

The images of the snakes in his dream seemed to coil around his windpipe.

"No..."

"Finally."

Sasuke gripped his cell phone, well, Naruto's anyway, and spat;

"Where the fuck is Kakashi!" Sasuke hated the way he moved back against the wall, his back pressing against the brick, sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Kakashi..." He said, a tounge tracing thin lips. "Will be fine."

"How do I know, you bastard?"
"Because of..." He called some inaudible word or two that Sasuke was to nervous to here. "...This.."

Sasuke's heart lept.

"What in seven hells..." He sighed in one breath as his eyes fell opon Kakashi. "...have you done to him..."

Kakashi's mask was still there, but torn, and his breathing was harsh. Blood oozed out of his arm and right leg, while his matted, soaked, silver hair dripped onto the floor where he knelt and hung in his face.

He no-longer had much of a shirt, and he was only wearing thin reminents of his jeans.

Tears welled up in his eyes. He ran to the man, kneeling beside him.

"Oh Kakashi! It's all my fault..."

Kakashi looked up, the red eye that Sasuke had grown to love was swolen shut. Tears spilled over his face.

"I'm so sorry..." Kakashi grinned as Sasuke cried. "Whats so...funny you...bastard..."

"I've never seen you cry...before...Sasuke..even in seven years." Sasuke felt like slapping him, but instead embrased him deeply.

"I have to tell you all the things that have happened to me here...Naruto and I..we-" More tears overflowed his eyes as he spoke to Kakashi.

"Shh..." Kakashi placed a finger on his lips and felt the burning tears that stained his face. "I told you I havn't seen you cry..." Sasuke closed his eyes, drinking in the firmilliar sound of his voice. "And I never want to again."

"I'm sorry..." Sasuk bit his lower lip. "I guess I failed you again...because I can't stop crying. I look stupid, but I just can't help it, Kakashi!" Kakashi slipped off his mask so it bunched on his chin.

"It's okay...to cry somthimes...somthimes..."

Kakashi kissed him on the forehead, then after a few seconds, his lips. Sasuke was startled at first, but then kissed him back and chocked out another sob, knowing the truth. It wasn't a lover's kiss like one between Neji and Gaara , or a boyfriends like his and Naruto's and Lee's to Sakura, it was the only way to say 'I love you' that he could imagine strong enough.
"I..Iruka said he loves you!" Sasuke said as wet, sloshy snow weighed down his hair. Kakashi laughed to himself.

"Oh that one...yes I should..." Sasuke looked up at him, knowing they'd be sepperated again. Weather it was a couple of tears that slid down Kakashi's face were the snow or of his own accord, he would never know.

"Sasuke stays..." Kakashi nodded grimly at the words, knowing he couldn't rescue Sasuke now.

Men stepped back as Kakashi walked through the row of them.
"Hey, Sasuke!" He called out. Sasuke was still kneeling in the mud, hair in his face. "Your a hell of a kisser!"

Sasuke smiled.
"...I wish I could say the same!" Sauske laughed for the first time in a long time. He winked, to let Kakashi know he was kidding.

He only wished he had kissed him again before he watched Kakashi dissapear.

Kakashi ran through the streets of Konoha, wind rushing against his face, his lips still burning from they had touched Sasuke's last.

Sasuke-kun, He thought, his mind focused on finding Naruto's apartment. Don't be afraid.

Knowing Naruto all to well, Kakashi didn't bother for a key. He still remembered the number, too, he had gotten it from Iruka when he had left before he had.

Kakashi didn't bother with the elevator, he raced up the stairs, each step causing him pain in his side.

By the time he had gotten to the fourteenth floor, his leg's burned and he was bleeding again, but only slightly.

His breathing was harsh and ragged, and he only felt he had the strenth to knock three times.

Then, on the third knock, the door swung open.

Naruto, He thought as he stepped inside, instantly loving the heated feeling of the warm apartment. You really have to learn to keep the door locked.

He wandered through the kitchen, and after seachering for any signs of life, went into what he knew to be Naruto's bedroom.

There, he found what he had been looking for.

Iruka lay on the bed, asleep, from what he could see, and Kakashi found himself yawing.

He looked outside as snow fell over a cresent moon. Kakashi slipped off his blood stained t-shirt, and slipped under the warm douvet.

Before he fell asleep, he felt warm arms around him and soft words.

"I love you, Kakashi.

Naruto didn't know he was crying until he saw the tears drip onto his hands.

"Why the hell am I..." He thought of Sasuke suddenly and more tears fell off his face. "...crying..."

"I promise I'll never leave you..."

He had no leads, and no where to go.
"I love you."

Where could Sasuke..possibley be?

"Naruto, I'm not beautiful like you think. I only hurt people."

He stood up and started walking. He didn't know where he was going, or how he was going there. He didn't even remember walking.

"I shouldn't be with you, I'll only cause pain."
"Sasuke...I hope your okay..."

"But without you...I'm really not anything, am I?"
His heart ached as he ran. He leg's ached to carry him and his heavy heart.

"Oh, Sasuke thats not true. Your everything."

The snow was turning into a freezing rain.

"I can tell your sad, though, Sasu-kun"

"I'm always sad because I'm always running from everything that scares me. Even if thats not the only thing, Naru-chan."

He knew somwhere, Sasuke was sad again. It was raining.

"Sasuke you don't have to run anymore."

Sasuke hated the rain.

"Why not? I always have to run and I always will."

Now even Naruto hated it.

"Just hold me hand...and I'll walk with you."

Because he loved Sasuke.

Sasuke was cold and wet and he wished only he had never left Naruto.

He was slightly bloody and he knew his life was running out.

"...Sasuke..."

Sasuke whirled around. It was him.

"I don't want to kill you just yet..."
"Why not? Just get it over with." Sasuke's heart was pounding. He shouldn't have said it. A knife glinted in the moolight.

The taller man licked his lips as he bent down to Sasuke's level and pressed the knife against his neck. Sasuke felt the blood pounding in his veins.

"...please...I didn't tell...I... loved..." The man pressed the blade until blood trickled down his neck and into his shirt. He whined like a wounded puppy, and he hated himself for it. Why did death have to be like this?

"What's this..." He stopped, and Sasuke held back tears. "Who is this woman that you love, Sasuke...?"

When Sasuke didn't reply, he placed the blade on his shoulder. Sasuke whined again as he drew blood.

"Then it's not a woman?"
Sasuke nodded, but only so slightly.

"Then who is this man..." Four tear shaped slashes bit into his shoulder blade, right near his neck. "Who's captured your heart?"

As if on cue, a couple of seconds later a cell phone rang in his pocket. Sasuke knew to draw it out.

The caller I.D read 'Gaara' from the contacts list, but Sasuke knew it was Naruto using his phone.

The one opposite him pulled it from his hands and pressed the send button.

"You have seven days."

Then he crushed the cell phone with his foot, and left Sasuke all alone.

Naruto froze, the voice still ringing in his ears.

Seven days...but where and how?

"Did you finally find out what you needed to know?" Gaara sighed. He was tired of doing all these favores he had been doing for everyone. He was practically dragged out of bed by Naruto and he was pretty sure Neji was getting annoyed with this too, especially when it had been fifteen minutes after Sasuke had left.

It was already 9:30, and for some reason or another, Gaara was exhausted.

Neji decided at this point to leave when Naruto left.

"Thank you Gaara. Yes, I did."

Neji left as Naruto left, both closing the door behind them. Gaara found himself incredibly alone.

Kakashi hadn't really fallen asleep when he woke up.

Iruka was already awake, as if watching over him. Kakashi grinned.

"We shouldn't really free-loading off Naruto." Iruka nodded. "Let's go back to my place."

Naruto was dence, and when he saw Neji limping, he decided to, instead of taking the stairs with him,

convinced him to take the elevator.

"How are things...?" Naruto asked, watching Neji stand akwardly. "You don't look so good; maby you should have stayed at Gaara's."
"Damn, Gaara..." He whispered, so quietly that Naruto couldn't here him. "It's his fault anyway."

"Did you walk here, Neji?" Naruto asked, quietly. Neji nodded. "His place is kinda close, and it's a big city, so natrually I walked."

"Can you walk home?"
"I'm fine." Naruto was hoping for a 'no'. It was getting lonley without Sasuke and he craved company.

"Naruto, what happened to Sasuke...?" Naruto's heart lept. "...nothing..."

"I know your lying." Naruto sighed. "I know you know." He felt like crying more. Sasuke used to say the same thing...this is too much...I miss him too much...

The elevator opened, Neji almost fell over, but Naruto cauught him."Your coming home with me."

"I can take care of myself." The last time I believed Sasuke, somthing happened to him...

"No...I made this mistake to many times." Neji growled. "I told you I-" Naruto let him fall this time and he landed on his face.

"What was that for, you bastard!"
"I thought you didn't need my help." Neji thought this over, and then winced as he tried to stand up. "I don't."

"Why are you so sore anyway?" Neji blushed. "N-no reason.." When Naruto saw him blush, he was pretty sure he knew.

"So you and Gaara..."

"Shut up! Did not!"

"Then I guess I should just...leave you here?" Naruto waited as he stepped out of the door into the cold, frosty night. The door was closing as Neji swallowed his pride and shouted:

"Wait!" Naruto smiled. I knew it...I'm stuck with all the prideful, arrogant, prestigius asses who all won't admitt they need my help.

"...Sorry...Just I'm used to having to take care of myself, thats all. It's just weird to have you help me...so if anyone asks, its me helping you." Naruto laughed slightly and held out his hand to Neji.

"It's okay, Neji." He said as Neji gripped his hand and stood up. "Everyone needs somone when they fall."

Okay, I know, kinda weird, between Kakashi and Sasuke, but did you like it? Is there anything I can change?

Please reveiw! I can't get enough reveiws!
