Chapter 5
(Naruto's POV)
I woke up from the sun shining on my face through the large window on the wall next to my bed.
"You're awake," I turned to see Sasuke sitting on the edge of the bed, already dressed and facing away from me… "I should get going." As he stood up, I quickly reached across the bed to grab out to his hand. He looked over his shoulder at me.
"Where are you going…?"
"Home."
"Can you stay with me for a while longer?"
"No."
"Nande…?" He stayed quiet for a short period of time, as if he was thinking for a reasonable answer.
"I just… can't… if you were me, you would understand more clearly. What I did… was illegal. Hontou gomen, Naruto."
"Sasuke…" He snatched his hand away from mine and walked out of my house as quickly as he could. Once I heard the door slam, I curled up under my covers. I only remember the simplest of things from what happened last night… but what could he do that was illegal?
(Next day at school)
I didn't get any sleep whatsoever last night… nor did I eat anything. I just kept my position in bed the whole day and night.
"Oi, Naruto," Kiba yelled from behind me. I just kept walking.
"Naruto!" Neji yelled after me after I turned a corner. Then I saw Sasuke talking with the most popular girl in school: Haruno Sakura.
I never liked her for god knows how long. Anyone that ever took their time out to talk to me… she would always turn them against me. My body reacted to the anger boiling up inside me and I ended up punching a whole in the wall. She's probably the reason why Sasuke was acting up yesterday morning…
I heard footsteps run up behind me. My eyes closed as the rage inside me built up, the fire growing bigger. Just as I felt Kiba and Neji's energy right behind me, my eyes immediately opened and red chakra blared out of me, instantly blowing them back against the lockers a few yards behind me.
Sasuke passed a look at me, but kept his fearful eyes on me longer than he did yesterday morning.
"I told you he was a freak," I heard Sakura whisper to Sasuke.
I let out a frustrated yell, catching their attention again. I reached out to a locker nearby and pulled the door off. With as much strength as I had, I threw the locker door to Sakura, only to see Sasuke catch it.
"Naruto," he spoke.
"Now you want to talk?" I growled at him, stepping closer. He and Sakura took steps back as other kids backed up against their lockers. We kept walking until we were outside of the school.
"Look, I'm sorry." I glared at him as he gestured Sakura to go back inside. Of course, she listened to him, and once she was gone so was everyone else.
"I'll kill you for breaking my heart… then going the person I hate more than myself!" My anger drove me to break off a thick branch from a tree and throw it at him.
"Naruto, please calm yourself! I didn't mean to harm you in that way-"
"Then think before you say or do anything!" By now, I was in front of him, looking at him with more anger than before. I reached out to grab his throat by he caught my wrist and pulled me closer to him instead. "Let go of me, Sasuke…!"
"You want me to think before I act? Well here you have it." Then he kissed me. He fucking kissed me.
Naruto, just give in. You know you can't help but to love him.
No way! Who's side are you even on?
Yours. Listen to me for once. I'm only helping you. You don't plan on losing anyone special to you again do you?
…
Didn't think so…
Just then, all my rage slowly disappeared and I felt myself turning back to my original self. I felt my body weaken, but only found myself to be held closer to him for support and somewhat comfort…
He pulled his lips away from mine and as usual I impatiently waited for them to touch me again.
"Naruto, I really, really, do love you," he said as I laid my head on his chest. "I didn't mean to leave you like that yesterday morning… I just… disobeyed the rules of my kind."
"Your 'kind'?"
"Well, like my family."
"Mhm…"
"C'mon, I'll take you home." He took my hand and led me off school campus.
Once we got there, there was a stranger dressed in a grey shirt that says "A Day To Remember" with a picture of a sticky-note-looking calendar underneath the words and a black and white striped sweater. His jeans were the same as Sasuke's… black skinny jeans. And his shoes looked brand new, as a matter of fact, I recognize those shoes. They're the newest pairs of Chuck Taylor's Converse. But the weird thing is…
"What the hell are you doing here?" Sasuke barked at the man.
"I'm only doing my job as clan leader," he responded. Then his head turned to look at me. "and you are?"
"N-Naruto," I stuttered. "Uzumaki…. Naruto.. I'm Sasuke's friend…" I felt Sasuke tighten his grip on my hand. "I… I like your shoes… they're the latest from Chuck Taylor… I didn't know they were being sold before its actual… release date…"
"I have my ways of getting what my clan and I want," then he turned back to Sasuke. "He has a good taste in shoes. He's okay with me… so far."
"Just shut up and leave!" Sasuke shouted. "And you still never told me the reason why you're here! The real reason…"
"Okay, fine. I was driving around in the car I just bought and I suddenly smelt your scent. So I stopped the car, got out, and followed your scent. I ended up here, at this house. I went inside, still following your scent. The strange thing is that… the most strongest scent of you was left behind in the sheets of a bed."
I looked to see Sasuke's eyes widen in sudden surprise.
"No," he choked out, placing his free hand on his forehead.
"You know what the rules are Sasuke," the tall one informed. "Now you have to suffer the consequences." He started to take a few steps forward.
"Naruto! Run!" Sasuke yelled as he pushed me out of the way of the man's attack.
"Out of the way, Sasuke," he murmured.
"I won't let you lay a finger on him!" he scolded back. In a flash, Sasuke was body slammed to the ground, the strength of the attack breaking the earth.
"Sasuke!" I shrieked out of panic.
"GO!" From his painful screech of instruction, I fearfully ran for my life, to scared out of my wits to look back. Once I was deep enough in the forest, I hid sat down against a tree and held my hand against my heart, grabbing on to the school shirt that covered it. Wha… what the hell just happened? What was that man about to do to me- my thoughts were abruptly interrupted by an excruciating scream that echoed throughout the woods, sending chills through my body. I covered my mouth…
"Sasuke," I whimpered through my hand. After I heard a car drive off, I got back up and made my way back to where Sasuke is. When I got there I couldn't believe my eyes… he was lying there on the ground… bleeding from his neck… I fell to my knees next to his body. Tears streamed down my face as I laid my head down on his chest.
"SASUKE!" I screamed my heart out, sobbing over his corpse. My only true love died before I had the chance to say I love him… for the first time… "I love you, Sasuke," I sobbed, hoping he could hear me. "I'm sorry…"
I stayed in the same position until it started to rain a few hours later. I sat up and looked down at him. The raindrops making it look as though he were crying as well. But… he's not. There's still hope in him still being alive thought… and with that, I picked him up and finally brought him inside my house, laying him on the couch. I didn't bother to dry off or change clothes, so I kissed his cold cheek, told him I loved him again, then went to stand in the front door to watch the rainstorm. Here I am… standing between the darkness lurking through my home and the sadness from the terrifying event that happened outside my home. I'm an idiot hoping for the dead to come back alive. *chuckle* As if, Naruto. And what I find completely weird is that… the guy who I met today… he looks just like Sasuke. Only with longer hair.
