"Sasuke and Naruto Speaking"
Naruto's thoughts
~Flashback~
Chapter 5 - But In His Head
~Flashback~
Naruto lent back pressing his body flat against the tall tree, kunai grasped in his right hand ready for any incoming attack. Water began to soak through the back of his orange jacket from the bark of the tree making the piece of clothing stick uncomfortably to the skin on his back.
Blue cerulean eyes scanned the many other trees surrounding him, finally landing on pink bubble gum hair. They were so close. The last they'd heard Sasuke had joined up with the Akatsuki member who wore the funny swirly orange mask. And they were so close. They been tracking the Akastsuki member for weeks and now they were only half a day away from … and Sasuke. Sakura began speaking into her earpiece then sent him a signal that clearly told him not to move from his position.
What the hell was going on. They'd been told to quickly hide and disguise there positions when Akamaru had picked up a strange scent. By God if this was another false alarm they'd be eating doggy burgers tonight!!
A gasp from Sakura quickly turned his attention to the forest floor.
A small girl wearing a plain white sleeveless dress, reaching to her knee sat there amongst leaves, twigs and crawling bugs. Naruto quickly took in her long flowing dark hair, pale complexion and similarly dark eyes, staring. Staring at him.
Naruto couldn't help but stare back. Those half misted eyes seemed to see nothing but him, and before he new it, he could see nothing but them. The depth behind those eyes, the knowledge, it captivated him. There was nothing but him and this girl. And those eyes. Which were changing. Swirling. Red.
~Flashback End~
Naruto blearily opened his eyes, blinking slowly, blond hair irritating his vision. Snuggling deeper into his many blankets, pillows and cushions he stared aimlessly at the blank canvass of the tent before rolling over and coming face to face with…Sasuke!! The blonds wide blue cerulean eyes blinked slowly again, thinking back to the night before. He could've sworn Sasuke's sleeping arrangements were set up near the freaky girl with glasses on the other side of the tent.
Looking at him closer, Sasuke didn't seem quite so much of a psychopath when he was asleep. He just seemed…peaceful. However, Naruto couldn't really understand why he would've been friends with someone like Sasuke. But at the same time, there didn't seem to be any reason for Sasuke to lie about them being friends. It didn't look like the raven had anything to gain by taking care of him and he seemed genuinely shocked that he couldn't remember him. "I guess I'll just go along with them and see how things turn out," Naruto thought to himself optimistically, sitting up, only to discover Juugo had also moved his sleeping arrangements to lie at his feet. But something was missing.
Straightening his baggy T-shirt and tugging out one of the blankets and wrapping it around himself, Naruto carefully stepped over the sleeping Sasuke and exited the tent.
As soon as he stepped out of the temporary living arrangements, the blond haired ninja found what he was looking for. Suigetsu lay sprawled out on the hard ground, his injuries tended to lazily and obviously causing him discomfort. The water man probably hadn't managed to get much sleep last night, Naruto mused to himself.
Carefully pacing towards the sleeping man, bare feet wriggling at the unfamiliar sensation of earth under his feet, Naruto slipped the blanket from his shoulders, flapped it out over Suigetsu before letting it drop in mid air, and watched, fascinated as it floated over the water man wrapping itself around him.
"He doesn't deserve it."
Naruto almost jumped three foot in the air when Sasuke's silky voice took hold of his senses. Spinning around wildly in fright the blond ninja quickly scrutinised his so called friend. He didn't appear to be angry. He was just standing there in shorts and a tank top, hands buried deep in his pockets and slouching slightly with an emotionless look on his face.
"B-but he'll get sick." Naruto managed to gulp out. He was half expecting Sasuke to suddenly start shouting at him or worse.
But all the raven did was let out a long deep sigh; letting the air fill his nostrils and expand his chest before finally letting it lose.
"Man dobé, you never change."
"What do you mean?" Meanwhile in Naruto's head:- "That temé called me dobé again!"
"Just observing that no matter how injured, incapacitated and retarded you get you always think of others before yourself, even is it means you'll probably catch pneumonia."
"O…oh…I guess I am a little cold." Again Naruto's little mind was screaming away:- "Man! Now he's calling me retarded! That asshole!!"
"Well get back in the tent then," Sasuke snorted.
~xXx~xXx~xXx~
Naruto lay under his heap of pillows and blankets, cerulean blue eyes avidly tracking the ravens progress around the tent. After spazzing out from Naruto's insistent puppy dog eyes, Sasuke finally gave in and was currently dragging the water man into the tent. Which was proving rather difficult. Naruto watched as Sasuke's eyebrows started twitching incessantly again as Suigetsu's body once again turned to water.
"Sasuke?" Naruto wandered out loud.
"Hm"
"Yesterday, why didn't he turn to water when Juugo hit him?"
Finally dropping the man on a pile of blankets with a loud thump that made Naruto flinch, Sasuke let out a sigh before quickly masking his face with arrogance.
"I dunno - he's not my friend, he doesn't tell me all his intimate little problems."
"Maah, more like your such a heartless bastard that you wouldn't care even if he did," Naruto muttered to himself.
Sasuke's entire body stopped, his heart beat quickening, breathing becoming shallow.
"Naruto why am I such a bastard."
"Your kidding right, you were probably born like that," Naruto laughed, the light sound ringing through Sasuke entire body.
Whipping round Sasuke stared at Naruto who was smiling at him, his eyes lit up in humour.
"You…remember?"
Instantly Naruto's face crumpled up in confusion.
"Remember?"
Carefully walking over to the smaller boy and sitting next to him, blue cerulean eyes were absorbed by the pure midnight black sky. A pale, slim hand hovered in mid air before resting on a scarred cheek.
"Naruto," Sasuke whispered, his voice low, barley a whisper. "Who am I?"
"You…," Naruto struggled, confusion evident in his eyes. "Your….Sasuke."
Sasuke's heart instantly lit up, happiness coursing through his veins as he looked at the blond boy barley inches away form him.
"And how do you know me?"
"I…we…"
Don't leave me!!!"
"I'm not," Naruto whispered to himself.
"Your not what Naruto?"
He's nothing, he's one of them.
"No he's not he's Sasuke."
"I know I'm Sasuke, Naruto!"
Sasuke increasingly became worried as Naruto began muttering to himself, not even noticing. Was he remembering? It almost seemed as if Naruto was talking to someone.
Laying a thin blanket on Naruto's slender shoulder, Sasuke brought the boy closer, resting the blond head against his chest before dipping his head, his lips mere centimetres away form the blonds ear.
"Naruto, who are you talking to?"
"She….shes alone…."
Sasuke gripped Naruto shoulders tighter, almost trying to squeeze than answers out of the boy.
"Who's she?"
Don't trust him
"Naruto?"
He's one of them. He wants to capture you. He wants your power. He used to work for him. He's just like him!
Sasuke hands snapped to Naruto's wrists instantly as tanned slender fingers wrapped around his throat. Sasuke stared, fear coursing through his body as Naruto looked at him with cold, uncaring eyes. Eyes that had seen to much, knew to much and promised death.
"Naruto…." Sasuke choked out.
Naruto's sharp nails dug into the sensitive skin of Sasuke's throat, small droplets of blood dripping down the ravens pale neck. Sasuke looked at Naruto again. Nothing had changed. He hadn't transformed into the Kyuubi, he wasn't even drawing on its chakra. The only thing that had changed was whatever Naruto was talking to. That girl that Naruto was talking to.
Kill him now…he's the enemy
"He's…..hes a friend." Naruto choked put, tears running from uncaring eyes.
You don't know that!!
"I can feel it."
You cant remember him!!!
"And are you the reason why?" The blond questioned, sorrow and sympathy resonating through his voice.
Sasuke's body relaxed as Naruto's eyes clouded over and the younger boy withdrew into his own mind. Though Naruto's hands still had a firm hold on his throat he didn't bother to move them. He knew Naruto and Naruto was strong. Physically and mentally. Very slowly blood stained nails dragged down Sasuke throat leaving slender red lines before dropping to Naruto's side as the boy slumped against Sasuke's chest.
