Yea okay I am posting this before I even started chapter 7 in my VK fic. But ya know what, I will finish them all! BELIEVE IT! It is just this story is nagging at me! I mean seriously! You would think I would be able to make the voice shut the hell up right? But sadly I cannot it is like my brains like "DOOOOO THIS STORY DOOOOO THIS STORY!" Seriously I sat there trying to type in my other story for like 2 hours but it would not flow like this beautiful thing! Authors note at the end is important! Read it!
Anyway this story is rated M because…. Well I can… plus all of my stories thus far have had a lemon so I wouldn't be shocked if this one did.
Disclaimer: MOMMY DID YOU GET ME THE DEED TO NARUTO FOR MY BIRTHDAY? What! You didn't! You don't love me mommy!
Sasuke took a step back and then another as if he was going to turn tail and flee. He was running through the whole night in his head, trying to put the puzzle pieces together. Everything had seemed its normal bright cheery day, until he started to leave.
Click… click… click….
He walked down the stone road that would lead out of the village and away into his new life until that annoying pink haired Sakura came around the bend. She seemed to know right away that he was leaving by the way she stared at him with those desperate eyes. Trying to distract her he spoke, "what are you doing down here so late at night? Just out for a stroll?"
However the girl would have none of it and was not thrown off topic. Her green eyes bore holes in him as the calm night moved by at a snail's pace. "In order to leave the village you have to take this road."
His annoyance flared up, why couldn't she just leave him alone so that he could do what he needed to do but no she was always fawning over him. Honestly it made him want to rip that bubble gum pink hair out of her head by the roots, or at the very least throw up. "Go home," he snarled.
He began to walk once more at a leisurely pace, as if he had all of the time in the world. But she spoke again, stopping him in his tracks. "Why? Why won't you say anything to me? Why do you shut everyone out? Why won't you tell me anything?"
The raven should just keep walking, he knew that, but if he didn't deal with Sakura it would come back to haunt him, she would most likely follow him and get hurt, or hinder his plans. "Why do I have to tell you? I'm telling you, that you meddle too much. Stop bothering me all the time."
"You always act like you hate me Sasuke-kun. Do you remember? When we became genin… The day the three-man teams were decided, and we were alone at this very spot. You were angry at me weren't you?"
The raven tensed remembering that day, the day she spoke of how nice it was not to have parents, the day she called Naruto annoying and childish, the day he said that he understood the loneness within the blonds heart, the day he first called Sakura annoying. He forced his mind back to the present and told his muscles to relax, the creaking of a cricket could be heard in the air. "I don't remember," he flat out lied to her, now not only was he a bastard but he was a liar.
Sakura nodded, even though Sasuke wasn't facing her, he was able to tell she was nodding. "Of course, that was a long time ago. But it started on that day. You and I, and Naruto, and Kakashi-sensei." She paused, as if in thought. Sasuke guessed that she was remembering some silly little trifle, perhaps the first test they all partook in, the stealing of the bells from Kakashi and then the hidden test, the test to see if they could work together as a team. But who knows for sure what was flitting through that air filled head. "The four of us have done a lot of missions together. It was difficult, and it was terrible, but, but.. Even So. It was fun! I know about what happened to your clan. But with revenge alone, you will not be able to make anyone happy, no one, neither you, nor me."
He let out a heavy sigh, everything she said was true, but he just couldn't let his brother live after what he had done. He killed his entire clan! His parents! His family! Itachi only left Sasuke to live and everyone just expected him to let him go. It was an impossible task, especially for someone as mule headed as the raven. "I know that. I am different from you guys. I follow a different path from you. The four of us together… It's true that I have thought of that as a possible path. But despite the four of us having been together my heart has chosen revenge. It's why I go on living. I can't be like you or Naruto."
That gave the pinkette pause as she mulled over his words. Right when he was starting to believe she had left, she spoke. "Aren't you going to be lonely by yourself? Sasuke-kun you told me that being alone is painful! I understand that so well it hurts. I have my family and friends. But… If you leave, for me, to me, it's the same as being all alone!"
He wanted her to just understand what he meant, but he knew that she was almost as daft as Naruto. A pang of guilt and sorrow and another unnamed emotion tugged at Sasukes heart strings, just thinking of the blond, the Dobe, made him hurt. "From this point on… New paths will start. "
There was no hesitation in the girls retort. "I-I love you more than anything! If you are by my side, I will make sure that you will not regret it. I will make everyday more enjoyable and you will be happy Theres nothing I wouldn't do for you. That's why, I' begging you! Please stay! I will even help with your revenge! There must be something I can do! That's why… Please, stay here with me! If that is not possible then please take me with you.
The raven tilted his head back to face her over his shoulder. "After all this time, you're still annoying."
To the ravens annoyance she lunged forward and shouted in an annoyingly high pitched octave, "Don't go! If you go I will scream out loud and~" She was interrupted but the silent woosh and then she had a hand on her shoulder. Sasuke was just in front of her but now, he was behind her, the one thing a shinobi should never let happen, is to allow someone behind them. A silent whisper of a thanks was pressed against her ear and then the braced herself for the impact that never came.
Instead a blond covered from head to toe in orange fell from the branch just over head, landing in between Sakura and Sasuke. His action forced Sasuke back and the pinkette forward. " Sasuke! What where you about to do to Sakura!"
The pinkette had turned back around and move slightly to the side, closer to the bench, so that she could witness the whole scene as if it was a show. "Naruto! H-he's leaving the village!"
Deathly serious sky blue eyes appraised a lean and pale body, belonging to a raven, as if to learn something. 'Is this true Sasuke.
"Yes, and if you get in my way I will be forced to fight you. Sakuras held me up long enough, let me pass. "The raven moved his body so one toe was angle to the ground and he was balancing on one leg, the movement he made was one that would allow him to move quickly at a moment's notice. However the slight change in stature was mirrored by the blond, who then said no in a raw and determined voice. He barley registered that Sakura was shocked, after all to his knowledge this was the first time he said no down right to Sasuke. "What? You said no to me…"
No matter how hard he tried he was able to see how adamant Naruto would remain, why the blond had to be so naturally talented as a ninja as well as being so darned stubborn the raven would never understand. "Stay here…." Sasukes response was quick and to the point, without hesitation, or doubt. It was a simple no.
Naruto began to grit his teeth when the pinkette spoke up, "I've already asked him to stay, I told him I love him! He still wants to leave… Naruto-kun do something!"
The blond shook his head as if to rid himself of annoying thoughts. "Don't stay for Sakura…"
"That's not going to help! You dun~" Sasuke stopped the annoying comment right away by a wave of one hand. Naruto let his eyes fall to the ground, breaking their small connection and then his head fell and hung loosely. Several minutes passed in silence and finally Sasuke thought that Naruto was done speaking and took a single step forward. His head lifted and a single tear fell.
"Naruto-kun," he wanted to say so much more but he could not.
"Then I won't." The raven cursed under his breath as his movement caused Naruto to stop and pay attention again. Whatever internal little fight that had been raging within him, it was over now. Though he did notice several tears were falling from his beautiful eyes still,. and that made him want to rip out his heart and several major internal organs, just so he could avenge Naruto and appease him somehow. Maybe if he started to dance he would smile.
"Wait I wasn't done," the silly blond held his arms out trying to block him from leaving the area. "Don't stay for her," Sasuke noticed Naruto gulp one large time before he spoke again. "Stay for me." Sakura was ready to lunge forward once again angered by the blond boys audacity, he was trying to steal her man, her love. She was stopped however by a silver haired man, her sensei, who seemed to materialize out of nowhere. His only visible eye was serious enough but then he whispered into her ear. Sasuke couldn't make it out, but it seemed to appeaser her because she took a spot next to him.
Sasuke was taken aback but held his position in the road. "Wha-what?"
"I said stay for me." The air seemed to chill to both people before Sasuke was able to speak. As he did so fog began to roll in, spiraling and swirling around their feet. "I-I know what you said dobe, but what do you mean by that." Naruto froze again, he obviously didn't want to explain himself, but Sasuke was confused.
"I mean, stay here for me…" Naruto spaced for another 30 seconds and then his resolve seemed to strengthen. Stay… Because… I love you Sasuke-kun."
He was snapped out of his reminiscing by a soft thud. Naruto was now on the ground, he had fallen to the ground, he tried to strangle his wracking sobs, but it was to no avail. If Sasuke thought his heart was going to be destroyed before, it was definitely about to be destroyed now. All of a sudden everything went deathly silent, the birds stopped chirping, the crickets stopped humming, the frogs stopped croaking, and the wind also stopped.
Nothing was able to explain this, it was as if Narutos sadness alone stopped the world from spinning. Hell, when Sasuke even glanced to Sakura and Kakashi they even appeared to be frozen in time. The only one moving, or making a sound, was the blond before him. He needed to make the blond feel better but how?
Narutos heart fell from his chest and through his body, until it landed in the souls of his feel, slowly it tore in half and then in half again, over and over and over again. Slowly he managed to stand back up on his wobbly legs. He had to get Sasuke to stay, but how?
Neither one was brave enough to speak after the confession; Naruto too afraid of what the ravens' response would be when he did. Sasuke was too afraid to talk because he didn't want to push Naruto away any further. Kakashi and Sakura took in the sight. Both of them took in the looks of love, longing, and perhaps hope on each face. He fog swirled around the two making them look lost in their own little world. Naruto was the first tone to move.
He took a tentative step forward; it seemed to break Sasuke out of his trance. Another step, the raven tensed but didn't move otherwise, the third step fell and the fourth, Naruto was almost there. He just had three more steps to his beloved; He just had to go slowly, to make sure that Sasuke didn't run from him. After all the blond was very familiar with how, if threatened, Sasuke would run away. He took another and paused, two more steps left. He searched over the raven looking for any other sign that he would run. Sensing none he took the final two steps with less caution.
Sasuke tensed even more , ready to bolt, why the blond had walked all the way to him he did not know, it was as if he had finally thrown caution to the wind, even though he never really had any. His steps looked calm and confident yet somehow they also spoke volumes of his uncertainty. Before the dobe had gotten all the way to him he took his time watching, taking in that, delicious looking body. His body was muscular enough, it wasn't too built, but it was by no means lanky, that skin shone not only in daylight but also in the moonlight. It highlighted his looks, in truth he was truthfully very cute, no that was not the right word but nor was handsome or hot, Sexy. He was sexy in that childish way. The whisker scars flecked his cheeks, they gave his face more character than his blue eyes could. Even though those orbs made a person feel like they were being torn apart and their very soul was being examined, his favorite thing though had to be the way his hair bounced and swayed when he walked or talked, no strike that Sasuke knew his favorite thing of the blond, his personality.
He loved the way he smiled whenever he or his friends were around, he loved that he always had childlike hope and never gave in even though people thought he would destroy the village because he was a Jinchuuriki he loved the way Naruto always managed to brighten his day with stupidity, but most of all he loved all that he was, little quirks and all, even his love for orange wiggled its way into his heart.
Naruto was follow the same train of thought as Sasuke was. His eyes fell upon soft looking porcelain skin that seemed to glow in the pale night. His black eyes were so deep and mysterious that anyone who had the opportunity to gaze into them just wanted to dive into those dark pools and swim around and never come out. His hair looked so soft and stuck up in a way that reminded the blond of a duck-butt but the thing was, he found it rather attractive. The ravens' teeth were startling white, not surprising to someone who knew how anal he was about appearance.
Anyone who dealt with Sasuke that wasn't his friend thought he a jack ass and didn't care, but they didn't know the real him. The true raven, that only Naruto had seen, the raven that hid himself behind prickly retorts, because he cared to much, because he feared letting someone close and then losing them. The blonds eyes wandered lower to Sasukes body, he had a thin neck to match his thin shoulders and thin frame, Naruto knew that frame was rather misleading, he may appear weak but he was actually hiding a body made of solid iron muscles. Naruto noticed he was more built and had slightly wider shoulders that the raven, but he also noticed that the ravens head was tilted down slightly to look at him.
Unable to stop himself he reached up and forced his chin up until he was standing straight, and then it hit him, Sasuke was actually taller than him, and it was not by a small margin, it was a good 4 inches. Sasukes body had relaxed from earlier but he still appeared uncomfortable, and indeed he was having those little blue eyes that were as perceptive as the Hokages eyes , and as sharp as a knife.
Naruto knew then what he love about Sasuke, what drew him to him. Not only was it how attractive he was, after all he was built like a creature out of a myth, like a Siren from ancient myths from the world over, but it was also his personality. He loved the ravens prickly attitude, his subtle and random acts of kindness, his passion that had anything to do with him, he loved his goodness, but most of all he loved their similarities. He loved that Sasuke was the only person in the village who could come as close as possible to understanding what he had went through. The lonliness, the pain, the depression, he knew everything, and that brought the blond closer to Sasuke in that moment, closer to his heart. He loved the raven for everything he was, and he wouldn't change anything about him, not even that he called him dobe, a lot of people woult think being called dead last or idiot would offend but the blond found it… Endearing.
Naruto Rached his hand around Sasukes neck and tangled his hand in the soft tresses, his breath hitched as he did so, he never thought touching Sasuke this intimately would feel so, exhilarating, he wanted more, he needed more, and so he took it. He forced Sasukes head back down and took a deep sniff of his raven; he was shocked, the raven smelled like green tea and mint. Taking a chance he tilted his head up, his lips were mere millimeters from Sasukes.
Sasuke was trembling and he was sure that the blond could feel it, after all his body was flush against the others. The fingers in his hair felt so warm and tantalizing, there was no one in the world in that moment, only he and his dobe. Their lips were so close yet the blond wouldn't close the distance. To calm him he tried to take a deep breath to calm himself, yet scent of sun, grass and rain filled his nostrils. He couldn't take it, he wanted to kiss the boy who held him so close, but he wouldn't close the distance. It was like the blond wanted him to close it.
Naruto did want Sasuke to close that small space, to finally be able to taste raven he held so close. He felt the raven trembling in anticipation but also in anxiety, he could only imagine the thoughts floating through that morbid and complex mind.
Sakura stood transfixed by Kakashi who also seemed to be just as shocked as she, they were able to tell that the two boys standing there loved eachother, but it was shocking to see how close Naruto managed to get to Sasuke. It hurt Sakura to no end to see Sasuke fawning after Naruto but her anger wouldn't flare up until later, she just wanted to have the raven stay. Kakahi had placed his book in his back pocket long ago to appraise what he saw. Neither one had spoken for so long now that it was unnerving, but then again Naruto, like always was the first to move and break that trance and now they stood pressed against eachother, Sasukes head tilted down his nose brushing the blonds nose, their lips so close together. The night remained silent just for them, so they could take in the breathtaking show of passion, love, loss, and hope.
They stood like that for so long, lost in their little fog world, that it was as if they were statues amid a forest of beautiful flowers. The stars hung in the air and the trees contrasted with the two people in the center of the picturesque moment. And then it hit the two standing idly by, the two people standing there were so alike yet so different, Naruto a ball of energetic mischief, and Sasuke an antisocial snappish child. In truth it was like night and day. Naruto was the sun, and Sasuke the night.
All of a sudden a cricket chirped and at that very moment Sasuke closed the space between the two. His hands wrapped around the thin waist of the blond and pulled him as close as could be. The lips of the blond he loved so much tasted like salt and ramen, so unlike his scent, yet the same could be said for Sasuke, he tasted nothing like green tea and mint to Naruto, he tasted more like tomato and salad. The kiss was chaste yet passionate as they stood there, breaths intermingling, ones exhale became the others inhale and vice versa. Though they both never wanted the kiss to end they had to pull away for breath.
Sasukes eyes said much of what was running through his mind, he let his eyes flit closed and he pressed his for head to the fox god, Naruto. The whiskered boys eyes also closed at the sensitive contact, and sighed. "Please, stay."
Sasukes throat closed and he had to force it open to speak, unfortunately the response was not one anyone wanted to hear. "Im sorry Naruto, I cannot stay, I have something to do. Know this though, I love you as well, and perhaps I can return but I must leave."
The blond ripped himself from the ravens grasp and began to tear up, eyes wide. "B-but…"
His protest was interrupted by Sasuke. "We are too different right now. As long as Itachi lives, I am lifeless, I am the night, and you, you my beloved dobe, are the day. Night and Day can never mingle, if they do, death will follow." His hand reached up and brushed his thumb across the whiskers on Narutos cheek. "Goodbye." In one swift move he pressed a kiss in between Narutos eyes and then he was gone and the branches in the trees were shaking slightly. Telling Naruto the direction in which his love had gone, north.
Naruto fell to his knees with a loud cry and then he shouted out, knowing that Sasuke was somewhere hidden in the trees. "Night and Day may mingle at twilight and dawn without death ensuing! Listen to me Sasuke, I will find you, I will have you, because I love you!"
He was right. Sasuke did hear him, and he believed every word, but what the dobe didn't know, was that he already owned him.
Well, Here is the first official chapter!
I am so proud of myself but anyway, you all need to know a few things. I am trying to take the original shonen-ai story Naruto and change it into a full blown Yaoi. So I will be following the whole story, every battle will happen, but with different emotions, different couples, and seeing as of how I have not even began to watch Shippuden nor finished regular Naruto series this will be difficult. I will do my best and will try to not leave anything out. But I think I will be stopping a little bit after Itachis death.
Okay, Now if you don't want to read something so close to the original story line I am sorry, but I believe that there should be at least one story that is as close to the series as I hope to make this one. If you do not like it you can try reading my other SasuNaru story, You Promised Me Forever, it does not follow the story line and it, I believe, is also good. Though it is more on the tragic side, I have been told it is very good and has actually been able to bring forth tears from people, including my best friend.
Okay now that that is over I would like to get on with my regular and maybe enjoyable rant.
OKAY! You all know what, I noticed a lot of people spelling names wrong in their own fanfictions, I just wish to say how much this annoys me! If I do it PLEASE TELL ME! I beg of you! I would forever live in shame if I misspelled one of the characters names.
So again hope you liked the story! If you do review please and let me know your thoughts, no flamers, and guess what I have anonymous reviews enabled! Lol, if you don't want to let people see your thoughts you can PM me any questions you have because I will respond as promptly as possible.
Oh yea! One more thing! I will be posting the next chapter ASAP so that I can say I finished this story, but if I take a break from it for a month or so, do not get mad because I have mostlikley run out of the cushion I have for posting and am working on one of my other stories that I will be taking a slight break on so that I can work on, and perhaps finish this one, because I have no clue how long this will be quite yet. But yea…..
TOODLES FOR NOW MY BEATIFUL FANS!
