Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto nor do I own it's characters. I make no money with this.

Author's Note: This one is a little bit darker than the first ones, but it's going to get lighter again.


This one is for NonConformingAngel, because you wrote me so many lovely reviews and I was just so moved... (Yes, I'm a sappy person... *laughs*) Really, thank you so much! I hope you like this one, it's one of my favorites so far...


Scream

Naruto stared at him. It hurt – fuck, it really did – and he didn't know what to say, what to answer as Sasuke's glare burned into his heart.

Sparing my life will break your neck. – I have no reason to continue living. – You have no right to decide over my future. – Our 'bonds' have long since been severed. – You know nothing.

Did you really believe you could bring me back?

Sasuke wasn't shouting. In fact, his voice was almost quiet, without any kind of intonation or signs of life. His mask was close to perfect and Naruto wanted nothing more than to see behind it like he had seen behind it on the day the raven had left. Now that he was back, things had become so much more complicated...

Did you really believe you were strong enough?

He wasn't shouting. In fact, he was almost whispering.

"I know I am. You're here after all."

He wasn't even speaking anymore, but Naruto knew and always had known that inside, Sasuke was screaming.
