But I am sad though. I only got 3 reviews from last chapter,a nd again no one answered my question. Sigh. That puts me down so much.
But I must continue so I shall! Here is chapter 38! enjoy~ ONWARD!
Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, Sasuke and Naruto would be forsed to fight eachother naked, Itachi would be king of all, and Kakashi would have Iruka pinned against a wall to make sweet, sweet love, in every episode. And so, if you didn't guess already, I don't own Naruto. I do own the OCs though, they are mine lol.
Warning: Yaoi. Cursing. Lemons. Drama. Comedic relief. You've Been warned!
And he was frozen like ice and on fire like hell's fury. How will he battle this alone?
"Well, well, Sasuke-kun."
It was a voice so cold that by just a simple greeting your insides would freeze. Being near this person would make you lust for power like he did. How could someone who looked like Sasuke be so different? But they weren't really so different. Both had the tendency for revenge, unmistakable family traits, hatred for the older Konoha people. Difference was: nowadays, Sasuke hated the older part of the leaf, because of their cold stares and scowels at Naruto. That was on thing, Sasuke ahd someone to love.
Slowly, Sasuke averted his eyes to the voice, trying hard to keep it clam. The man stood behind him. Tall and thin, but the appearence could fool anyone. He could pulverize Sasuke right now if he wanted to and if Sasuke wasn't trying.
"Dear boy, I see you were finally able to leave the gates." Madara said. He swiped his tongue against his teeth. "Now, don't just gawk, give me a hig hello. Don't be insolent like your brother."
"You can go in Miss Ashurii," the secretary said to the girl. The men gave her a questioning glare. "Er... the Kazekage-sama only wants to see her, I'm sorry," she said, face faulted.
Ashurii gave a curt nod and went on into the office. Naruto began to seeth.
"Damn bakka!" Naruto said, fustrated. Ichiba arched a brow at the man but asked nothing. Naruto closed his eyes into slits and huffed his cheeks out. In habit, his hands closed into tight fists, like when he was a child.
A minute later, Ashurri returned into the hall, closing the large wooden door behind he. She handed the scroll to Naruto. And, though her face was masked with the face of a tiger, she looked at him with pity.
Naruto took the scroll and his jaw clenched. He couldn't leave Suna without setting Gaara straight. He abruptly stood and marched into the office, slamming the door open.
Inside, Gaara jumped, only slightly. It was because of his emotional mentality that made him so uncharacteristic. He didn't look up but still sensed the blue aura of Naruto flare ever so red. Gaara's eyes felt puffy. He had no more then an hour of sleep, not considerably a big difference considering he barely slepy anyway, but it had taken it's toll, because of his emotions.
"I wanna know, Gaara!" Naruto yelled, ripping off his mask and chucking it against the wall beside him. A deep fault line cracked through the middle of the retched strong porcelain. "How much do you love me?"
Gaara finally looked up to eye the raging blonde. Blue eyes were so wide that the pupil was barely seen. He had a fist balled before his face in anger. The red-head glared. 'Enough to know I can't live without you."
"And you won't live without me," Naruto barked. He didn't care if he left the door open and that he was yelling so loud people outside could hear, he was a pissed off fox. "If you love me then you should realize that I would hurt you more if I went out with you but lived a lie. Dattebyo."
Gaara let the words sink in and processed the thought. Maybe Naruto was right. Having someone say they want to be with you and not actually want to is more painful then knowing the person doesn't feel the same. If Naruto took pity on him, it would make Gaara so much more stoic then he was now. It was one thing to lust with someone and another to care and adore. If Gaara were to just let Naruto pity date him and live a lie, he would just be satisfying lust not love. And he wanted Naruto to be happy.
"I love you, but like a brother," Naruto's voice softened. He relaxed his body before walking behind the desk to where Gaara sat. Tightly, he embraced the Kazekage. "Gaara, I'm sorry I can't love you more. You're such a great guy and anyone who ends up with you will be lucky," he whispered now.
Thin fair colored arms circled the lovely blonde. Gaara rested into the warm body. His jade eyes started to water. Such an unknown sensation to the sand ninja. Of course, he cried as a child, but now in the years of young adulthood, crying is alien to him. The gentle tears washed down his pale cheeks. Thank Kami his eyeliner was water resistant. "No, I'm sorry, Naruto," he said back. Oddly, enough as Gaara was acting, now his monotone blank voice was quivering with deathly feelings. "If you're ahppy with the Uchiha, then I'm happy, too."
Naruto pulled away and chuckled. "Be careful, if you keep crying you might be able to make sand castles with yourself."
Gaara went back to glaring. "Baka," he bluntly said.
Suddenly, they heard sniffling. Looking to the doorway, they saw not only Naruto's teammates, but Gaara's siblings. Temari held Ashurii as they hysterically started to sob. Kankuro had a small amount of face paint coming off from his single tear. Ichiba leaned against the open door, sweat dropping.
"It's -so...BEAUTIFUL!" Ashurii cried. Her face was contorted into a dramatic crying state. Her eyes squinted as her mouth lay open, stretched wide, letting out the powerful sobs. "I swear Narutos' life should be a TV show!"
(This would be the point in sitcom television where one character will look at the camera with a look. That would be Ichiba in this case.)
Temari hugged the girl tighter. "My beautiful little brother is such a powerful man to live with unrequited love!" She cried.
Gaara sent his sister an icy glare, as sharp as forty daggers. Temari sombered up, but the ravenette, Ashurii, continued.
"I would buy all the series of the show and never leave my house!" She hysterically said. It was like she was in her own world now. "I would even buy the box set special edition! Ahhhha!" Ashurii gave out a raspy loud sobbing groan.
Ichiba took it upon himslef to pore the water from his canteen on her head. The bun of raven hair soaked and the water mixed with the overly dramatic tears streaked down her flushed cheeks. She quickly sombered up. "Sorry, I got to into it."
Naruto, suddenly, burst out laughing. All the anger had been released from his body. "Come on guys, let's go get lunch. It's on Gaara!" he cheered.
The red head looked at him blankly. "Me? (and it's already dinner time.)"
The blonde draped an arm over the slightly shorter man's shoulder. "Yep, you." (Not my fault you kept me waiting so long on an empty stomach.)"
Hesitently, Sasuke stood from his kneeling position and ghostly hugged the elder Uchiha.
Uchiha Madara still looked the same age as the last time Sasuke looked at him. His appearence hadn't changed technically since he left Konohagakure long ago, before Sasuke was even thought of. It was apparently the traits of obtaining the eye of your brother and replacing it with your own. Immortality. But, immortality isn't going to save you from everything.
"Have you obtained the Kyuubi yet?" Madara asked, pulling away. He looked down at the baby in Sasuke's hold and scowled. He hated children with no purpose.
Sasuke saw the look at his son and stepped away. Never he thought, but his mouth said differently. "Not yet, Madara-sama."
Suddenly, Kisame came out of the trees. He gave a depressed loo at the grave before looking at Sasuke. His face hadn't adorned a smile or smirk since his partner died. Kisame stood beside his boos, cloak whipping in the gentle wind.
Madara didn't seem fazed by the new presence. "I want it, soon."
Sasuke was never affraid of anyone and Uchiha Madara was no different. All the hatred Itachi made Sasuke gather within him gave the young raven, a mentality of strenth. A powerful exception to Madara's intimidation, the lack of fear. Sasuke stood tall, ready for whatever. His features hard with o emotion. He set his son down on the grass, seeing the baby's welling eyes. "Actually," Sasuke said, turning back to the 2 Akatsuki memebers. "I'm not going to get you the Kyuubi."
Madara's face angered. "And why not?"
The young raven still hadn't forgot that Madara helped Itachi in the bloody murder of the Uchiha clan. All from the sense of revenger. "Because, I've completed what I wanted. Give me one reason to help you."
"I'll kill you. Is that enough reason?" Madara seethed, taking a step foward.
Suddenly, a team of ninjas appeared behind Sasuke. "Uchiha-sama," Juugo said.
Sasuke looked back and saw his extremely loyal team Taka. He smirked If anythin were to happen here, they most definatly would handle things. "Just try and kill me," Sasuke said averting back to Madara.
There was a moment of tension before Madara smirked, also. He started to look tauntingly at Sasuke and team Taka. "Killing you here is not enough," he said. His voice was even colder then before. Almost as frigid as his icy glare. "I'd rather make you suffer."
Sasuke ground his teeth together. His hand went automatically to his ninjato in reaction to the deadly aura. Sasuke could only worry about what was up Madara's twisted sleeve.
"Something close to your heart will be taken when you least expect it," Madara said. Was he actually refering to an organ next to Sasuke's heart, or a person close to the young Uchiha? One could never know with Madara. He gave Sasuke a full blown glare of daggers. "You are just like all the other Uchiha's before you, arrogant fools. You don't know a good thing when you see it."
A scowl crossed Sasuke's face, but beofre he could say another word Madara and Kisame had poofed away. Sasuke looked down at his son to see the baby finally easing down. He picked up his child and hugged him tightly. He caught the envious look of Karin. He saw Suigetsu's purple eyes go after Kisame and his Samehada. And he looked at Juugo, who's respect was still there for the raven after the year of absense.
"You guys," Sasuke turned to team Taka. "I don't need you, anymore, right now. So you can leave," he said stoicly.
The 3 team members looked at eachother before the girl spoke. "Good enough for us. We'll see each other again, one day, Sasuke-sama." Sasuke saw that they understood what he meant. One day, they would rejoin, and they would help him defeat Madara if it came down to it.
Team Taka jumped into the woods. Sasuke hoped they found themselves a good life. they were a great help for him.
Ryou gurgled happily as he saw his father was calm again. But, Sasuke wouldn't be ever really calm. Madara had gotten to him. After collecting Itachi's cloak, the raven ran his way back home. "See you again, Nii-san."
The next evening was getting chilly as the hour wound down to dinner. Kiba looked across the fancy restaurant table. Hinata sat, mildly blushing, tapping her fingers together in habit. across from him. She looked so beautiful. Her long blue-black hair was clipped up out of her face with a red clip, matching her silky kimono.
Sometimes, it was amazing how people clean up, like Kiba. The scruffy man was in a nice shirt and clean slacks. His eyes gleamed with the lovely image of his girlfriend.
"Hinata-chan," kiba cleared his throat, cutting to the chase. "We've been dating for so long, now... I want to marry you."
,br> Hinata was quiet for a while before tears fell from her mercury colored eyes. "I-I love you s-so much Kiba-kun and I w-want to m-marry you, b-but..." She let out a gasping breath. "I-I just k-know my father won't allow it."
Kiba's brows furrowed. He reached across the table and took her small hand in his. "We'll make him allow it, Dammit!"
The girl sqweezed his hand and softly smiled. "Y-you're s-so good to me, but my father is a powerful man," she looked up at the man. "H-he was strict enough w-wth Neji-kun getting married to Tenten. I-It took many argument to finally s-settle that Neji c-could marry. M-my father will n-not give up so q-quickly for me..."
A wishful look shined on Hinata's lovely face. She pulled kiba close and kissed him tenderly. While still kissing, Kiba gently slipped a beautiful ring on her finger.
Shikamaru gave a lazy half smirk. He lay back against his bed, staring up at a letter from Temari. It was an old letter, maybe 2 years old, but still just as special.
Temari wrote the letter to express her love. Shikamaru loved to read the curvy handwriting of the words that were like poetry.
It was amazing to be in love. That pick up beat of your heart and feeling of fullfillment. Your body works in mysteries as you react to everything the otehr person, your love, says. The shivers and tingles where ever your skin touches theirs. Love, the sense of always having someone, the complete and total brainwave to die for that person.
Shikamaru put down the letter and closed his eyes to rest. He had to teach tomorrow, so he couldn't sleep through all of class. (Though he shouldn't be sleeping through any of it, Temari often reminds him.)
All of his friends were falling in love. It was beautiful, like the clouds Shika loved to watch in the sky.
