I walked home with Roy and Ed. Though I didn't want them with me, Tsunde made me take them with me. My hands were shoved in my pockets and my head was hanging down. This has got to be the worst day so far.
I just got together with Sasuke, and this is how I spend my relationship with him. Going on dangerous missions, and always getting sick. Yeah, this was some relationship.
I sighed out load. This earned a look from Roy. "You okay kitty boy?"
I glared at the taller man. "I have a name you know." I didn't mean for my words to come out as growling, but somehow they did. Maybe Kyubi did it, but who knows. I tried to calm down a bit, so my words didn't seem harsh.
"It's Naruto, and no nothing is wrong with me." Roy gave me the same look Sasuke did when he knew I was lying.
"If I know when Ed's lying. I know when you're lying. What's wrong with you?"
What was with this guy? Why does he talk to me like he knows me? Well I got a newsflash for him. "It's none of your business what wrong with me. Just…don't talk to me like you know me."
"Well I have to follow orders…"
I snorted. "What you mean like a dog? If you think for one moment I would talk to you about my life think again."
The older man glared at me, but said nothing more. The younger one, Edward, came up and slipped his hand in his.
So they were a couple. Well at least I won't be living with a couple of homophobes, but that also means I'll have to leave without Sasuke.
That, I couldn't live with. Maybe that is why I feel so sad.
I shoved my hands in my pockets once again, and continued to walk to my house in silence.
When we reached my house, I knew Sasuke had moved in already and was waiting for me to get home. I took a deep breath and opened the door.
I poked my head through my door to see if Sasuke was anywhere in site, and then I saw that familiar black hair sitting on the couch watching T.V.
"Hey." I called as I opened the door and let Roy and Ed in. I walked over to him, and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
"Hey to you too. Who are these people?"
"Why don't you ask them yourself? I have to go pack for my new mission." My mocking tone made Ed and Roy send glares my way, but I didn't care.
I headed to my room and went to my closet to get my suitcase out. I set it on my bed, and walked over to my dresser.
This time it was hard for me to pack up and go somewhere far away. I didn't want to leave Sasuke, but this is what I have to do I guess. Maybe I'm a dog too, if I'm always following orders.
I sighed a long sigh. Scratch it being the worst day so far. This is the worst day ever.
I slowly kept on putting my clothes in the suitcase. I didn't notice that Sasuke came in until I felt hands go around my small waist.
"Where are you going now?" There was sadness clear in his voice. "I'm going with Roy and Ed to Central. Orochimaru is on the run again, and I have to stop him. I won't return here for a while…"
I didn't expect Sasuke to whirl me around and kiss me, but he did and it was deep and sweet. When we pulled away, we only pulled away for breath. Then we went right back to kissing. He slipped his tongue into my mouth and explored every inch of my mouth.
All I could taste was Sasuke and Sasuke only. It was going good until Roy had to interrupt. "Sorry to interrupt this love thing, but we need to go. The train is leaving soon."
I sighed once more and got out of Sasuke's arms. I closed my suitcase, and looked at Sasuke in the eyes. There was still that sadness in his eyes that I wished would leave already.
I tore my eyes away, regretfully, to look and the two men standing there. "Could you two give us a moment? I'll be right out."
Roy looked like he was about to protest, but Edward took his hand and led him out of the room. I would have to thank him later. My eyes went back to Sasukes and it seemed like forever before one of us started to talk.
"So…You have to leave?"Sasuke asked softly. "Yes, but I promise I'll return alive and without a scratch on my body!" He laughed at my enthusiasm, though I felt like I had none right now.
"Naruto can you please tell me what is happening to you? I can help you get better."
I shook my head at him. "I told you I can't. When the time is right I will…Sasuke I have to go. I'll see you in about a week."
He walked me out of the room and to the door where Edward and Roy waited for me. He gave me a quick kiss before letting me go.
Once outside I almost wanted to scream 'FUCK!' at the top of my lungs, but some people were good Christians and didn't say things like that at all so that left me the option to say it inside my head.
I shoved my hands into my pockets and walked down my stairs. While leading the way to the train station, Edward came into step with me, while Roy just stayed behind us. Neither one of us talked until we got on to the train.
I sat down by the window while Edward and Roy sat on the opposite side. Why did Tsunde think I needed bodyguards? I mean I could see Roy being a bodyguard, but Ed not so much. He would be too damn small.
"So…this Orochimaru guy, you're hunting him down correct?" Edward asked me. It was the second time I heard the boy speak and okay maybe he could be a body guard, but still I didn't need one.
I nodded my head, and he let out a sigh. "I'm trying to create a conversation here. You're not helping much."
"Fine…that's correct. What do you want to know about him?"
This time Roy talked. "When we talked to Tsunde about the mission she said that he was a madman. Just how mad is he?"
I shuddered as images of that day ran through my head. "Mad enough to do experiments on little kids. Mad enough to kill without a care. Mad enough to kill anyone who gets in his way. That is how mad."
I saw Edwards eyes narrow into dangerous slits. "What kind of experiments is he doing to those children?" He hissed the words that came out of his mouth.
I shrugged at him. "I don't really know…He only told me he did experiments on them. There were adults there too. Around Roy's age, I believe."
He growled at me. "I'm not that old!"
Edward and I snickered at him. "I don't know Roy, you don't last long enough in bed like you used to." I looked at Roy who was shooting daggers at the younger one and I couldn't help but laugh at the poor man.
He must really get teased a lot. "Yeah, well at least I fit the clothes I wear unlike Mr. Short stuff over here."
Edward growled. I was still trying not to pee my pants from laughing so hard. Once I stopped laughing I decided to break the arguing couple up.
"Okay, Okay you guys. What else do you guys have for me?" Edward perked up at this opportunity to ask me anything. "You said you didn't have any parents. What happened to them?"
I fell silent for a moment before answering him. "I don't know what happened to them. I only know my mother died when I was born. My father died trying to save me from something. That is the only thing people will tell me. Every time I ask people they tell me the same thing, and I get so frustrated. What about you? Any parents?"
Edward looked at the floor for a second before looking me in the eyes. "No. My father left when I was only a kid my brother Alphonse was only a baby, and my mother died when we were both only kids. If you knew about alchemy then you would know what human transmutation is."
I thought about that for a moment. I've heard that before I know I have. Then all of a sudden I blurted out. "Yes I do. I know what human transmutation is. It's alchemy's greatest taboo. It goes against the nature or something like that."
They both stared at me wide eyed. "What? I read. Go on with your past."
"When our mother died. We hired a teacher and she taught as all that we needed to know. When Al and I thought we were ready we created a human transmutation circle. When we put our hands on that circle everything went wrong. The aura around us felt like it was going to suffocate us. Then a portal opened and Al was pulled through I tried to save him, but my leg was already gone. I saved his soul by putting a blood seal in armor.
"That's how I lost my arm. For years we searched for the Philosophers stone. We finally found it one day and for that we were separated. He was kept in Central, and I was put in Berlin. Years later we were reunited but only for a day. I saved the world and then let Al and Roy back down on the ground. The fun part about this is Al snuck onto the ship in the last minute. We spent years in Berlin and then Roy here brought us back. I think it's nice being back."
I stayed silent for a moment to stunned to speak. "Wow…" Was all that I could get out.
"Enough about me. How long have you been in the ANBU?"
"I'm only eighteen, but I have been in the ANBU for about three years. I started when I was only fourteen years old. Everyone that cares about me wants me to quit but I can't. I've made a lot of friends along the way, and I just can't quit now. Even though I am dying on the inside and I have a relationship with Sasuke…"
Roy interrupted me. "Whoa, Whoa. Back the train the train up just a minute. You said you were dying inside what the fuck is that all about?"
I lowered my head just a bit. "Yes, I have a demon inside of me. It's a fox demon and his name is Kyubi. He can be nice at times and at other times he can be bastard. I have a seal that keeps his chakra inside a cage, but lately it has been fading away. He can't produce chakra as well as he used to, so when his chakra runs out I might die."
"Have you told Sasuke about this?" he asked me. "No, I couldn't. It would hurt him too badly."
"Well isn't better hurting him now instead of later on?" Edward asked. He did have a point. "Yeah, I guess you're right."
Roy reached over to intertwine their hands together. "Of course he is. He always is."
We fell silent after that, and after an hour or so we came to Central. I got up and stretched. Those seats were stiff; I don't see how anyone could sleep on those.
I caught my breath as I saw Central for the first time. It was beautiful! The train station alone was amazing. Edward laughed at my reaction. "C'mon let's go get you packed and then we can go on a tour. How does that sound?"
I nodded my head to amazed to say anything. Well here goes my first day in Central!
