Memoir Girl

"An old picture? You wanted to show me some old picture?" Yusura said following Samon towards the bed room. Her blue eyes were shut in annoyance, her arms crossed. "What's it got to do with anything anyway?"

He shrugged.

"You'll see."

It surprised Yusura, when they had made it into the bed room, that it was scarcely furnished. Unlike the rest of the house, which was put together for comfort, the bedroom was a barren wasteland save for the futon on the floor and the two pillows and the sheet resting messily on it. She figured that Samon's bed room would be the most comfortable and warm room in the apartment.

"Hey Dobe," He said bringing her from her thoughts. "Are you just going to stand there staring at my futon or are you going to take a look. If you're tired you can sleep later." There was a smirk on his lips that she wanted to rip off.

"My name is Yusura, Teme."

"Yeah, whatever." He said, still smirking. He handed her something wrapped in old yellowing cloth. "Be careful, the frame that the picture is in is quite old."

She rolled her blue eyes.

"Yeah, ok."

She unraveled the cloth careful not to damage what was inside, her hands holding it firmly yet delicately enough not to disturb the frame.

"What is this?"

Her blue eyes landed on a pair of familiar eyes. The picture was slightly crinkled and faded, a sign of it's age, yet the faces of the four were still prominent, as though time hadn't touched them.

"That boy." She struggled with her words.

Blonde hair peeking from behind a head band, tanned skin that had seen much sun, a smile as wide and innocent as any and blue eyes like the sea.

"He looks like…"

Whiskered cheeks adorned his face.

"He looks like…father."

With shaking hands Yusura willed herself to turn the frame over. The inscription on the back sent her mind reeling with thousands of thoughts.

'Konohagakure- Team 7. Team Leader: Hatake Kakashi. Genin: Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki.'

"Uzumaki? Uchiha?"

Samon nodded his head, amused at her shock. He took the picture from her hands carefully.

"Yes. Our forefathers were team mates apparently. And the girl that you see in the picture later became Uzumaki's wife."

"Her eyes."

Samon nodded.

"Yes they're green."

"They're like my brother's eyes." She moved to take the picture from his hand, grasped it then dropped it on the ground, for what reason she didn't know, it were as though invisible hands were moving hers. Samon stared angrily at her.

"You've just dropped a piece of my family history. The photograph was hidden away in the Uchiha shrine and-"

"What is that?"

On the floor the broken frame fell two pictures instead of one. Bending down on one knee Samon lifted both. The first was of team seven, it was barely damaged from the fall. The second however, held much mystery. Yusura looked over at the picture, also kneeling on the ground.

"No way." What was thought to be another picture was a letter. A letter which was addressed to: 'My Dearest Sasuke'

However instead of feminine writing that they expected, it was written messily as though whom ever wrote it wrote in a flurry of conflicting emotions. Yusura took the letter from Samon's hands and began to read.

'My Dearest Sasuke, it has been a wild journey in which we have shared. Secret meetings between us that in the past I had hoped would satiate our longing is no longer, not since you returned and found out the truth. Understand that I never meant to hurt you, you have to believe that. In the years that you were away, during the time that I searched for you I had come to the conclusion that if I died today there would be no one left to carry my name. It was a selfish thing to do, marrying someone else but I did it because I felt I had to. I couldn't wait for you any longer. However things have changed one will not. You are forever in my heart.'

Samon looked at the blonde beside him.

"It's from that green eyed girl isn't it? The reason this all started then?"

Yusura stared at the letter towards the bottom. She shook her head.

"Want to hear the good news or the bad?"

"What's the good news?"

Yusura smirked slightly highly uncomfortable.

"The good news is that the rivalry didn't start because of my forefather's wife."

Samon was slightly taken aback. The letter clearly indicated a parting of lovers, someone had married and left Sasuke, it had to be the girl.

"What's the bad news?"

Yusura turned the letter towards him and laughed.

"Apparently this long lover's spat was over two men."

And there at the bottom, slightly faded with age, was the signature of the lover.

Naruto Uzumaki.

ZuZu's Author notes: I know that two reviews isn't much but…THANK YOU!

Now, was that surprising or was that just easy to guess? Poor Sakura wasn't the reason for conflict it was Naruto. Sasuke and Naruto were in love and Naruto left him to start a family because he couldn't wait anymore and the threat of dying was too great. He wanted to leave his family name behind if he died.

Yes there is YAOI in this fic, I know I should have posted that before as a warning but well…I forgot. I'm not the biggest YAOI fan but Sasuke-Naruto love is vital to the story. Oh and about the picture: Remember that team seven had taken a team picture? Yeah, it's that one.

Review and I will update. That's how I work.
