Chapter Two

Three years later....

"Damn it! Its been three years and I still haven't found this Uchiha guy! Some Guardian I am for all I know he could be killing innocent people!" Naruto sat in his empty apartment, his blue eyes half closed. His lack of success finally pulling him down. "Tsunade will be really upset if I go back with the mission incomplete...She'll send me back to Kyuubi..." Silent tears flowed down the sun kissed flesh.

Naruto's rage finally boiled over, turning to the wall beside him he put all his anger out on the wall. "Why is this so hard!?" His strength left him suddenly as he sank back on to the bed he had been sitting on before. Naruto sat for what seemed like hours just trying to find away to complete his said mission. His thoughts were disrupted by a sudden knock on his door.

He looked up at the clock and smiled. He had completely forgot about the plans he had made earlier. "Hey Naruto! Come on! The party is gonna start soon! We gotta go like....NOW!!!" Naruto chuckled as his one best friend continued to pound on his door. He stood and practically ran to answer the door. There stood a slightly pissed Sakura. "Come on, come on! Lets go, lets go!" Naruto laughed and held the door open for Sakura to come in.

"I just got to get changed. It wont take that long. Unlike you miss 'I want to look like a princess every time I go somewhere!'" Sakura laughed. "Well we all now what I look like with out any make up on so I suggest you shut up and get dressed." Naruto didn't need to be told twice. He knew what Sakura could do he had seen it first hand. So he rushed to get dressed.

As Naruto had said, it didn't take long, About ten minutes later the were both on their way. "So Sakura you never told me where this party was..." Sakura stuck out a bit of her tongue. "Oh yeah! Its at the beach!" As they walked Sakura talked non-stop. "I heard a new guy moved in town...I also heard that he was like you." She said while winking. Naruto gawked at her. He had no clue how she had figured out that he preferred men. But since he was to always tell the truth when she asked him if it was true he had told her yes. But she knew he wasn't looking.

"I'm not looking for anyone Sakura, you should know why too." Realization hit her full force. The a sad look came on her face as she nodded. "Thats right. I forgot you only have a few years left."

About this time they had gotten to the beach.

As soon as the two walked up one of their friends came running up to them. "Sakura! Naruto! You guys are late!" Ino all but screamed. The three laughed. "So Ino, have you see the new guy in town yet?" Sakura asked. Ino's face lit up with excitement. "Yes! And he is so hot! Naruto, your so lucky!" Naruto shook his head, laughing gently. He looked into her blue eyes with sadness in his own. "I not looking for anyone right now Ino." Ino's eyes clouded with despair. "I'm sorry Naruto." She said looking down. Naruto smiled brightly. "Don't worry about it. So whats this new guys name?"

Ino smiled. "His name is Uchiha Sasuke." Naruto's eyes widened. He grabbed the tops of her arms tightly. "Uchiha Sasuke?! Are you sure?!" Ino looked at him in fear. But before she could respond

he dropped her arms. His eyes connected with onyx black. The eyes of none other Sasuke Uchiha.
