Chapter 1: The Departure
As the sun began to set on this black ominous day, Sasuke breathed in deeply. He felt the wind blow his hair to the east and gasped as he heard the frustration and anger in the small blonde's voice.
"You have nothing to say to me. You...you, LIAR! Why do you have to be so selfish teme?! Why can't you just stay....With me?!" Naruto screamed as he clenched his fists.
Sasuke looked at Naruto with a glazed look in his eyes. "Well things apparently changed."
His stare was broken as Naruto stammered at his cold words and turned away. Sasuke's eyes were now on the tremble of his hands.
"I'm sorry." He whispered, trying his best to keep his voice from shaking.
"You promised!" Naruto exclaimed clenching his fist even harder, Kyuubi claws digging into the fox container's palms and easily drawing blood.
"I love you dobe."
Naruto hesitated, glanced back, only to see those deep, luminess pools of betrayal one last time. A tear managed to fall from the boy's eye. He closed both eyes tightly, and looked back at the small village of Konoha.
"You gonna miss this place?" Naruto whimpered, trying to shake the thought of the raven's last spoken words.
"Doubt it. I probably wont be back." Sasuke spoke showing no emotion whatsoever.
Naruto glared at him with fiery red kyuubi eyes.
"Well then leave already!"
His body was boiling with anger. Naruto felt his control beginning to slip as a demon tail erected from behind him and began to swoosh back and forth with aggitation.
'Don't hurt him...please dont hurt him!'
'I won't kit, you're angry...thus I feel I must protect you. But if you wish for me to restain myself, then I shall.'
"I'll miss you though, my Naru." Sasuke whispered as he gently wrapped his arms around the small blonde.
Naruto gasped as Sasuke smirked knowing the fox boy couldn't resist his touch.
Naruto's anger was now showing as he spoke.
"Well I won't miss you." He lied pushing Sasuke's arms away.
"Naruto...you don't mean it...You love me...Don't you?"
Sasuke constricted his arms around the blonde, causing kyuubi to become even more angered.
"I don't! I never have!"
"Stop lying toyourself. I won't leave until you say it..." Sasuke yelled, grabbing Naruto even tighter.
The blonde boy gritted his teeth.
"Just leave already!!"
The kyuubi screamed, causing Naruto to bellow out the exact same words. With a twist of his arm, Naruto managed to escape the raven's grip. He thrusted one claw at the smirking Uchiha's face, causing Sasuke to let out a scream of terror.
"Naruto...don't-wah!"
Sasuke fell to the ground. Etched across his face were three large claw welps that dripped with fresh ********! What the hell Is wrong with you?!" Sasuke screamed, clenching his bloody his face.
"Leave." Naruto spoke, almost as if he were possessed.
Sasuke's mouth dropped a bit. He slowly rose from the ground, still covering his face with a trembling hand.
"And they call me heartless...Goodbye dobe." Sasuke spoke solemnly.
Sasuke looked at Naruto once more. His eyes drooping a bit, almost as if he didn't want to leave his lover. As he slowly turned around, a tear streamed down his face. He wiped it off, and began to walk down the old road leading away from Konoha.
'Why? I told you not to hurt him!'
'He was bothering you kit, the Uchiha apparently cannot get a clue...so I, you know, helped him out.'
'Dammit...you stupid fox. Why don't you leave?!'
'I would...but you see...I just so happen to be trapped in a childish fool who cannot disdain his love for someone he cannot and never will have!'
'Shut up you stupid fox! I've had just about enough of you'
'Apparently you are, one of many, who cannot handle the truth.'
'Be quiet Kyuubi or I will rip you out of my stomach right this second.'
'Hn.'
"Stupid fox...doesn't know what she's talking about. I've dealed with th truth my entire life!"
Naruto stared at the raven haired boy as he slowly walked away. Naruto wished he had said it...he wished he had said the three words the raven was dying to hear.
"Goodbye my Sasu. I love you." Naruto whispered in a hushed tone, and decided to walk back towards the village.
-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-
He had cried all day, all week, and all month. He longed for his raven lover. He lay awake each night, every memory of the Uchiha rushed through his head.
"Teme." Naruto gritted his teeth and growled.
Each time he tried to escape the pain, it just hit him even harder as the taste of Sasuke's kiss pierced his heart. Naruto had lost all hope and all trust for the selfish boy that day. Sasuke seeked power, and he would do anything to get that. Even if it meant hurting the one person he truly loved. He wanted Sasuke there with him! He belonged to him! He loved him so much. Naruto couldn't bear the harsh pain. He layed there, crying his eyes out, and finally realized, he was all alone again...
~Flashback~
Nauto lay awake in bed smiling as Sasuke held the fox boy's head on his lap, gently petting his wild blonde hair.
"Sasuke?" Naruto asked happily.
"Yeah?" Sasuke answered still petting the blonde's hair making him pur.
"I have a question for you... and I want you to answer honsetly."
"Sure, anything for you dobe" Sasuke teased.
"Don't call me that. You know I hate that, teme." Naruto pouted.
"Awww Naru you know i'm just playing." Sasuke leaned down and kissed Naruto's forehead making the tanned boy smile.
"So what were you gonna ask?"
Naruto's smile disappeared. With that, Sasuke knew the blonde was serious about this question. "Well, I know you want revenge on your brother and all. But if it came down to it, do you think you'd just stay here with me?"
Naruto bit his lip and Sasuke was silent for awhile. He finally broke the silence by speaking calmly.
"Look, if it ever came down to it, I promise I will stay here with you. I'll never leave you my Naru. I'd be an idiot to give you up."
Naruto giggled, hugging the Uchiha and gently kissed him.
Sasuke kissed back, but his thoughts bitterly eroded his happiness as a voice in the back of his head screamed, "Liar!"
~End Flashback~
Sasukes words echoed in Narutos head. "I promise i'll stay here with you....i'll never leave you." Naruto had given Sasuke everything he had. Sasuke had no right to do that! He had no right to hurt Naruto and be so cold.
"He doesn't care about me. He never has. If he truly loved me, Sasuke would've stayed."
Naruto told this to himself countless times, which just made closure so much harder to reach. He never wanted to see Sasuke's face again. He swore to himself that if there paths were to ever cross again, Naruto would not give the cold boy anymore chances. He was tired of being hurt. He was through with love. Naruto hated Sasuke, he hated him!
TBC!
