The song used in this chapter is called "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace. This is the second last chapter, where Orochimaru makes his second debut (somehow). And, Naruto realizes he's in love with Sasuke. - Yesh, I get rid of all of the bad guys in one chapter. Oh yeah! All hail Yaoi! SasuNaru for life (though I like GaaNaru too - -;; I used to write GaaNaru all the time. Classics on like "Rivalry for Affection" and "A Blood Bond" were made by yours truly. I just changed my name a couple of hundred times).
Have fun!

Sasuke opened his eyes, slightly, when he heard thumps coming down from his staircase. He knew who it was, and as much as he wanted to go embrace the person, he felt it was better to pretend to sleep for a while longer. He soon heard the rocking chair infront of his couch squeak, and he realized the person had seated before him. He could guess Naruto had made a decision, but planned to keep silent for the time being. What was he deciding? Could he… could he love me too? He knew he should never get his hopes up. The chances of Naruto admitting he loved a male were slim, let alone his eternal rival.
He soon heard a small sigh. "I know your not awake Sasuke… but I came up with a conclusion based on my thoughts and actions", Naruto's voice spoke, "I-I can't believe… that's how it's going to be from now on. I hope you accept it… I'm sorry". N-no…h-he doesn't l-love me? M-my… m-my whole future is… is shattered? The horror that struck Sasuke was like no other. He couldn't tell what his world was coming to, it was all over.
Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet
And suddenly, there was a polite knock on the door. Sasuke twitched, as Naruto stood up and walked to the door. He was too depressed, and worse, he shouldn't know this. No longer do I feel like living… he doesn't love me. He listened closely as a voice sounded through the doors. "Sakura-san has just ran from this village, you two… are supposed to be after her", the voice said. Instantly, Sasuke sat up, taking deep breaths. She always causes trouble, doesn't she? Now we're going to chase her down! Naruto's eyes landed on him, and instantly, the blonde boy blushed. Naruto…
The person at the door left, and both boys stared at each other. "Shall we go", Naruto asked, casually? Sasuke grunted, standing up.
Every roommate kept awake
By every silent scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't miss you yet
Only when I stop to think about it

The two raced through the forest, both like bullets in the trees. Sasuke kept his eyes on Naruto, who wasn't even paying attention to anything in the atmosphere. "I-I can't believe… that's how its going to be from now on. I hope you accept it… I'm sorry." It hurt him more then anything, those words he'd been told. His very soul had been ripped apart, and he knew it was useless to argue with him. Naruto's not mine… he won't be.
Instantly, there was a loud hiss, and a large snake came before them. Its mouth opened, as it was about to swallow them both. Sasuke instantly used a Phoenix Flower Jutsu, burning the snakes mouth, as he and Naruto leapt back. The snake's jaw had been deeply injured, and the two had a brief idea of who had sent it. He's here… Orochimaru hasn't been near us since the Chuunin exams. Kyuubi isn't strong enough to take on anything yet… it's just me and Sasuke.
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?

Sasuke's eyes widened as Orochimaru and a female with pink hair landed before him. Both had yellow, snake-like eyes. Sa-Sakura? He couldn't believe Sakura was allied with Orochimaru, if she was. It was unbelievable that she would join forces with an enemy. "Surprised, right Sasuke-kun", Orochimaru asked? Instantly, a low, empty growl erupted from beside Sasuke. "You'd join forces with a demon that wants to break our village, how could you Sakura-chan", Naruto's voice asked, "You'd rather be allied with a monster, then your friends"? "He isn't a monster, he's my father", Sakura shouted, "He promised me Sasuke-kun would be joining our village soon, I tried to push Sasuke-kun to leave! But you messed it all up, with your stupid interference in the Chuunin Exams"!
Naruto's eyes narrowed, as he felt, instantly, a whip of anger enter his small being. "Yes, I did mess up your plan", he whispered, before his voice broke into a loud shout, "If I hadn't, god knows what might have happened"! Sasuke's eyes travelled down Naruto's small figure, as he noticed Naruto was suddenly tense. Would I have left everyone, if he hadn't stopped me? Wh-what would have happened to all of us? The mere thought scared him beyond relief. "You made Sasuke-kun stray from my love, he chose you over me", Sakura screamed, "I-I did everything to regain his love, I told him your most fatal flaw, and he didn't care"! "Does it seem like I could care? Naruto's Naruto… he still stuck with me, even when he could have just chosen to leave and be stronger on his own", Sasuke countered, "You are a different story".
Everytime we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet
Only when I stop to think about it
"I am proud of my daughter. We will both take you two down, quite easily, today", Orochimaru spoke. His tongue flickered out, as a snake's tongue would, before slipping back into his mouth. "Orochimaru, you do remember the Yodaime Hokage, don't you? He took place of Hokage in your steed", Naruto suddenly spoke, "You probably didn't know this, and I doubt Sakura does either. Only three people, one of which is dead, knows my most dangerous secret. Would you like to know"? Sakura's eyes flickered with brief interest. "My father… was the Yodaime Hokage", Naruto said, as instantly, his head snapped up at Sakura. Fear showed on her face, as her eyes remained fixated on the sight before her. "I'm fortunate to have two fathers, both of which left me a great deal of love. Iruka-sensei… and Arashi Kazama", Naruto said, "My small, little family. Sasuke… Sasuke's a part of it too, because I love him. If you threaten to hurt my family, Kyuubi and I will both destroy you"! H-he loves me… he really does. The thought burnt like a bright candle in Sasuke's darkness.
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
"A-and… and I won't hesitate to let Kyuubi run free a second time. We're ready… to crush you and your father to bits. Would you like to hear why", Naruto asked? Orochimaru had fear trickling down his face like sweat, and Sakura was clinging to his shirt, tightly. Sasuke suddenly didn't think Naruto was speaking; it sounded more like how he was when he was possessed by the Kyuubi. No… h-he's letting it possess him. D-does he think it's going to work? Orochimaru looks scared, and Sakura's definitely afraid. But… but… I don't like the Kyuubi.
Sakura then let out a horrified scream. "D-don't let it come near me! Papa, save me", she shouted! Orochimaru nodded, before leaping into the air. Sasuke pulled out two kunai, tossing them at Orochimaru, as instantly, they lit on fire. Orochimaru dodged them, and kept his steady rush at Naruto. Naruto quickly preformed hand seals, before pressing his hands into the ground. The ground then flashed, before two equally large white foxes came before him.
Hold me when I stop to think about you I know
Hold me when you stop to think about me
Do you know?
One nodded to Sasuke. It's telling me to go with it. I'll listen… I can trust Naruto. He leapt onto its back, and it jumped into the air. Orochimaru was shocked, as the fox brought down a spray of hot, gleaming fire. Sasuke used his own Great Fireball Jutsu during the sequence, strengthening the spray. At the same moment, the other white fox brought down more fire, nearly obliterating Orochimaru. Were it not for the substitution jutsu he used.
Naruto then chose to jump in. He did the seals for Shadow Clone Jutsu. Instantly, five shadow clones popped up. He then ran at Sakura, growling deeply. The girl closed her eyes, waiting for the blow. It didn't come. She opened them, to find Naruto standing before her. "I'm telling you to run away, to Otogakure or whatever else", Naruto spoke, "I'm not gonna forgive you for putting my life on the risk, and trying to hurt the entire village". She stared, before nodding, and turning to run. I'm sorry, Naruto… Sasuke-kun. I'm… I'm not strong enough.
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
You hate everything about me
Why do you love me?
I hate, you hate, I hate, you love me.
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
Sasuke soon had Orochimaru cornered, he and the two foxes fighting roguishly. This isn't too hard… if only I could be faster. These two fox aren't quick enough. His eyes fell on Naruto, who had a rasengan in his hands. He's using his top card. I need to back him up. Could the Chidori and the Rasengan combined do anything…? He then pulled off the fox, his hand glowing blue with visible chakra. Instantly, he and Naruto rushed forward, aimed at Orochimaru. We're going to win this time… no longer are we completely different people. This time, we're… we're lovers. And they collided against Orochimaru's body, a large frizz occurring.
Both flew back, hitting the ground with thuds. Everything was black, as nothing occurred to either of the two boys.
