OMG I loved all the reviews! I got so many...well more than usual lol. I've also noticed that I've gained more reviewers since the first few chapters. So yay! Now that the drama is over with Sasuke and the Elders, we get to focus slightly more on Sasuke and Naruto's relationship. So from here on it's going to develop slowly but surely. So get ready for gushy moments!! :D
ONWARD!!
Warning: If I owned Naruto there would be less fighting and more sexual intercourse between some of the main characters. (Wouldn't that make Naruto a whore cuz he fights with Everyone)
Warning: Yaoi. Soon Lemons. Some Cursing (I forgot that one last chapter oops lol). ...I would tell you more but that would ruin stuff.
And he knew what he felt was developing into an unexplainable feeling. Why was he more releived about another accomplishment?
Naruto put an arm around Sasuke's shoulders and walked him to the back room. He shut the door behind him.
Tsunade watched them leave, letting out a sigh of relief. Had she just heard what she thought she did? If she thought about it, the elders had confessed to being accomplices to a mass homicide. They should be executed, but all the same... Yeah, right, there was no other option.
They were associated with a crime and should be punished. A life for a life. The Hokage laughed to herself, it was all a little bitter sweet.
"Lady Hokage, you might want to check this!" an ANBU called, distracting her from her thoughts. He knelt at the side of Utatane. The old woman was lying on the wood paned floor, pale.
"What is it?" Tsunade questioned. She walked over to the calling black op.
The ANBU looked at her and even if his face was hidden, the aura told all. Tsunade looked at the woman quickly. Her eyes widened. She bent beside the female Elder and checked for a pulse. Nothing. "Sakura, check Mitokado-sama!" Tsunade ordered.
"I'm on it," the medical nin answered. She ran to the man next to Tsunade and Utatane. She pressed two digits to the man's pulse, both wrist and neck. Not even a heart jump. Sakura shook her head in a sad face.
"I can't believe it," Tsunade said slowly. She laughed maniacally as she idly put her hand to her cheek. "He killed them without even doing anything."
Naruto sat Sasuke on the bench outside the door and removed the raven's handcuffs. The hall they were in lead to the lobby of the Hokage tower. It had pale blue colored walls and linoleum white tiled floors. To say the least it made the two brilliant looking men pop out.
Sasuke hunched over for a moment before leaning back against the wall. He eyed the ceiling. Suddenly, he felt the trickle of something warm down his cheek. It wasn't tears, that felt different.
"Oh my Kami!" Naruto squeaked. Sasuke averted his eyes to him and raised a fine brow. The blonde stepped to him with worry plastered on his face. "You're... You're crying blood!"
"What?" the raven questioned. He pressed a thin finger to under his onyx eye. He looked at the fine red liquid on his finger. "Oh," he said. "That happens sometimes after activating the Mangekyo."
"Da fuck?!" Naruto screamed. He moved in closer to Sasuke. His face hovered the other's. A soft blush came to his tanned skin as he realized he was so close to Sasuke. He took the cuff of his sleeve in his hand.
Gently, Naruto wiped at the blood on each cheek. Sasuke could feel the warm breath against him. It reminded him of just hours ago, in the hospital, while the kitsune was still unconscious. He wanted to feel Naruto again, taste his sweet lips again.
"Are you okay?" Naruto asked. His soothing voice laced around Sasuke as if taking him to a happier place. That voice always seemed to do that, when he thought about it. "You scared me back there."
"Did I?" Sasuke smirked.
"Believe it!" Naruto replied loudly with a soft chuckle. "To see you about to kill someone, the air around you was so deadly. It was freaky." He gave a small smile. "I never saw you like that before, even when we last fought."
Sasuke looked into those azure eyes that looked back at him. All the raven wanted wo do was take away all of the hurt he found in those eyes. "I'm sorry."
Naruto looked taken aback. "For what?" He stepped back and gave a look to the other.
Sasuke stood up and took Naruto's chin in hand. The blonde stiffened. The heat in the room had grown. Unconsciously, the blonde draped his arms around the raven's perfect hips. He took a step foward and closed most of the space. Sasuke's heart was beating in his ears. He'd never felt this way, this light but heavy feeling. Feelings were contradicting themselves and he could feel a rush of warmth wrap around him. "I'm sorry for second guessing myself," Sasuke whispered.
He knew it now, in Naruto's arms, he could never leave again. Not if it meant leaving behind this feeling.
"Someone go get Sasuke-san and Naruto-kun," Tsunade ordered. Everyone looked around at each other. No one moved from their seats, which they had taken after they found the Elders dead. Tsunade narrowed her honey eyes. "Lazy bakas, gah I gotta do everything, che," she muttered. Slowly she walked to the door. Without even pausing to knock, the blonde opened the door.
"Oh-!" she said shocked. Inside stood Naruto and Sasuke, to be expected. What wasn't expected was how they were standing. They were hugging. Naruto held a face of sorrow and glee mixed into one emotion of unrequited love. As for Sasuke, red tears fell from his closed eyes and a rare soft smile crossed his thin pale pink lips as he rested his head on Naruto's shoulder. Tsunade shook her head and closed the door behind her after walking in. "If you brat's are done being all sentimental, then I must speak with you."
Naruto looked up in a flash after hearing the voice. "Ah- Baa-chan!" He let go of the raven and backed away until hitting the wall. "I didn't hear you come in." He idly scratched his blonde haired head.
Sasuke's arms dropped to his sides. His enticing eyes opened and he gave a scowl. He never liked people disturbing his few moments of warmth. "Speak."
"Ah, a man of a single word says more than those of a thousand," Tsunade smiled. Then she turned to Naruto and a vein throbbed in her forehead. "And you! Call me granny again and you'll be shitting broken glass for a month!"
Naruto huffed his cheeks. "The only way you can get glass in the first place is from all the sake bottles you have in your office," he mumbled. "How is such a drunk allowed to be Hokage?!" he barked at the woman.
"What chu say, brat!?" Tsunade yelled. She raised a tightly closed fist and held it before her. "I should kick your ass!"
"Go right ahead-"
"Can you bakas stop before I kill you both," Sasuke interrupted Naruto's threat. His left eye twitched in annoyance. He turned to the old woman. "You wanted to tell us something..."
"Oh right!" Tsunade backed off from Naruto and crossed her arms over her big chest. "I have to hand it to you Sasuke-san." The raven looked at her in question. "You scared those old jackasses so much, not only did they crap themselves, you killed them."
"What?!" Naruto ogled his eyes. "Holy shit, no way!" He looked at Sasuke. The Uchiha stood taller, a weight was lifted from his heart. The blonde man felt happier.
"I guess you have finally proven the myth. You can scare a person to death."
I finally did it, the raven thought to himself as he stared off into space. My family can now lie to rest. NOw I am left to recreate the strength we once had.
"Now if you don't mind, the shinobi of Konoha and I have some things to decide," the woman sprawled as she left the hallway.
Awwww Naruto and Sasuke hugging moment, lol.
But you know Naruto will be too blind to notice how close Sasuke is to him. What a baka.
Itachi That was so anti climactic...
Nati: What do you mean? What is?
Itachi: The Elders died of being scared to death... *pissed off muttering* They died so easily. Bastards didn't die when I threatened them.
Nati: There there. *patting Itachi on the back really hard* It's okay. *Itachi glares at her*
Tourniquet: If it makes you feel any better, my computer didn't come back to life even after I put the fan in. You don't see me complaining.
Nati: *looks at tourinquet* You're banned from talking in the End Note because your computor is bad. You can talk to me at chapter 22
Tourniquet: That's not fair. It's not my fault my computor didn't work. And why chapter 21?
Nati: Chapter 22 is when *whisper whisper* Remember? *tourniquet leers* ...Well! Please gimme lotsa reviews and I promise to tell you a secret about this story in the next chapter.
Love Natsuki Lee
