I refuse to put a disclaimer here cause everyone should be bright enough to know that I don't own Naruto. I'm pretty sure that's why this is called FANfiction.

├Part Twenty-Seven┤

I watched in horror as they fought. They could easily kill each other if they wanted. I could see deep hatred in Sasuke's eyes while Naruto held just anger.

I saw Naruto give Sasuke a much deserved punch in the face. Normally I would be laughing at something like this, no matter how dramatic. But this time I felt scared for them, something I've tried to avoid.

Friends, that's what I found, that's what I was avoiding. My legs felt weak under me and I slipped to my knees. I looked down over the waterfall, wondering if I should.

I shook my head, getting out of my little daze and looking back at the fight roaring in front of me. I felt incredibly weak and useless just watching them.

Neither noticed me…

Then I felt anger rise in me and strength return to my legs. I stood up shakily and pulled my mask down.

"YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING IDIOTS!!" I screamed at them, tears threatening to spill. Well NOW they noticed me.

Sasuke was the first to look up and so didn't block Naruto's punch which sent him spiraling into the rocky wall behind him.

Then Naruto looked up, panting.

"Miya?" he asked, calling out.

I glared at him, nodding my head, "Yeah," I said loud enough for him to hear.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Sasuke asked, looking scary.

I rolled my eyes even though he couldn't see it, being too far below, "You thought knocking me out was going to prevent me from coming after you again?" I asked.

Naruto squinted a bit, although it was hard to see, "Are…are you wearing your mask?" he asked looking uncertain.

I hesitated for a moment before answering, "No," I said while shaking my head.

He raised his eyebrows at this, not being able to see my face fully anyways. This gave Sasuke an advantage to attack him.

I rolled my eyes.

Boys…

I sniffed and looked down the waterfall again, wondering if I should. End everything right here. But no, that'd be selfish at the moment.

Great, now Kakashi's words are screaming at me in my head. Any other time I wouldn't have hesitated.

When I faced the two fighting boys, I saw that both had changed…drastically.

Sasuke's hair was different, longer and grey. He had this evil look to his eye that creeped me out.

Naruto had this glowing chakra surrounding him, in the shape of a fox, I think. Now they were even more powerful…and it scared me.

I hated to admit it, but they had broken through the barrier I had built ever since I was little and got to my heart. Now I considered them both friends…which, to me, that meant they were very dear.

"IF YOU KILL THE OTHER ONE I SWEAR I WILL BEAT THE SHT OUT OF YOU!!" I screamed at them suddenly from my position.

They merely glanced up at me and continued their battle. I should have known that they'd be angry at each other. Especially Sasuke, him wanting power so much.

Suddenly they were flying at each other, Sasuke with the Chidori and Naruto with the Rasengan. There was a blinding light which knocked me back since it happened right in front of the waterfall.

When I could finally see properly again, I sat up and saw Naruto was lying on the ground, Sasuke panting having returned to his normal state.

My eyes widened as I stood up and started running down the wall, "What the hell did you do?!" I asked as I aimed a punch at his head.

He just dodged my attack by stepping to the side wearily. He then grabbed my arm, twisting me around and putting his other arm around me, hugging me close.

I struggled, in a fit of madness.

"What did you do?!" I screamed.

"Shhh," he said while resting his head on my shoulder, out of being tired or something else I didn't know at the moment, "He's not dead," he whispered in my ear, "He's not dead…"

My breathing was slowly returning to normal and my body suddenly relaxed in his arm. I lifted a hand up to wipe tears that I didn't know had fallen.

Slowly he let me go when he saw that I was completely calm.

"I'm leaving now," he said, "I'm sorry but…"

With that he hit me against my neck. I smirked as I shifted slightly so he wouldn't hit the point that would knock me out. I crumpled over, acting like I had fallen unconscious.

Then I heard him back away, whispering something I couldn't understand through the beating rain that had started. Then I felt his chakra presence leave and that's when I sat up. He was gone.

I checked over Naruto and saw that he was indeed alive. His eyes cracked open just a little bit before they shut on it's own, meaning he saw my face.

I sighed and took my mask off completely, laying it near him. I also tore off the wraps around my arms and legs, them being soaked anyways. With that near him, I turned and followed Sasuke. He wasn't going to leave so easily!
