Summary: "Why, Sasuke?" Naruto hissed, his warm breath fogging against the mirrored surface. Strong fingers pressed deep into the flesh of his neck. He fell limp against Sasuke's bare chest as his vision blurred. Large hands picked him up gently, "Why'd you leave me?" Slate eyes, through the haze of Naruto's mind, softened unnoticeably as Sasuke smirked. Naruto watched the voiceless mouth move, lush lips forming words he could not read. His eyes slid closed heavily, and the ghost touch of long fingers brushing hair from his naked forehead was the last of his feint memories of the day Akatsuki finally caught up to him.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Naruto characters or plotline.

Author's Note: So, I'm in the biggest mood for YAOI! Boyxboy! Yay! :D Most especially for Sasuke/Naruto or Sasuke/Neji….Hell, Sasuke/anyone! I'm not too picky right now.

Chapter Two:

Prompt: Connected

Words: 327

Sakura glanced at Naruto. He was leaning against a pillar of their old training area. She smiled softly, remembering her teammate stuck to that same stump years ago. But the smile faded quickly as she remembered the other member of their team.

Sasuke, she thought.

"Hey Sakura," Naruto's warm smile was brilliant against he orange of the morning sky. He had his eyes closed, laughing goofily as he had always done, and rubbed his head with his hand. "Morning."

"Morning, Naruto." She smiled cheerily in kind, her morose thoughts of their long lost teammate seemed just a little less heartbreaking.

Soft footfalls behind her made them glance to the direction of the Shinobi Stone Memorial. Standing just before it was Sai, a recently acquired addition to Team Kakashi. He observed them through a mask of fake smiles silently.

Unnerved, and uncomfortable with his prolonged presence on Team Kakashi, a startling reminder that Sasuke was indeed gone, Sakura turned her back to him and focused on Naruto.

He put up a good front, but the truth was obvious. Sakura could see right through him, no one felt more alone and most betrayed by Sasuke's departure into Orochimaru's clutches. Loosing the one person that understood him so completely, and accepted him for nothing less than himself, Sasuke had dealt him a hard blow. Even though Sasuke may never admit it, Sakura could still see the strong ties between him and Naruto.

I don't think anything could break the bond between those two, she mused. It's impossible, no matter what Sasuke says, Naruto will bring him back. I believe in him.

Sakura stood back as Naruto and Sai began glaring at one another. She hadn't been paying attention to the two to know what they were fighting about this time, however it was easy to assume the trigger was most likely Sai badmouthing Sasuke again.

I hope you get here soon, Kakashi-Sensei. She thought as Naruto swung at Sai's head.

I'm going to post the next chapter up now. Please review! :D

Yakushiela: Thanks for that. I'm not a very big fan of OOC's either, at least, when it's too far out of the realm of possibility. So long as the situation can support it, then reactions of the characters can be tweaked from what's normally seen in the anime or manga. I hope I can keep them in character as well, thought I may struggle with it a bit, since I primarily write for InuYasha.

If you're looking for fanfiction, just browse over my favorites list. You may find more crossover's with InuYasha, but there are at least two or three that focus on Sasuke in the Naruto universe only. I also have other fanfictions that you can read. My newest chaptered series "The Run Away" is another Sasuke yaoi, where he's paired up with Neji, though it is an AU fic. I also have a crossover titled "Solitude". This one is a Kagome/Sasuke fiction, but I think they're in character.

The fanfiction universe is large, so there's never a shortage of good stories. When in doubt, browse through the reviews, that is, if you're not afraid of a bit of spoilers.

Sometimes, all you need is to read the first chapter or two to get a feel for the story. Most stories that have outrageous OOCness are immediately recognizable with the first chapter.

I hope this helps. :D Thank you so much for your review.
