You Don't Wear My Chains
A/N: Starting this, I feel like there’s going to be a long Author’s Note, lol. I want to rewrite chapter 1. It’s got so many errors in it, it hurts my head to read it. But I won’t do it while I’ve got a chapter forcing it’s way through my head. So maybe after I let this chapter sit for you guys for a while.
I hate that I’m loosing readers. I really am trying to push out new chapters faster. Got it down to a month instead of half a year…that’s a good thing, right? But for those of you sticking with me, or who have just discovered YCNGHA thank you. Even those of you not reviewing, but favoriting the story on FFnet, thank you thank you thank you.
Questofdreams – hahahaha, I’m tzuki, from the sasuxnaru IRC channel. I was the Tsunade who was all hyper to meet you and I could read your face as “wtf, who is this?”
WhiteTigress666 – You’re supposed to be confused. Part of my diabolical plan to take over the world.
Cheska – You’ve brought up a wonderful point that even I hadn’t noticed, lol, in mentioning their sanity. Reading back over it, I’m surprised I’ve been subconsciously writing like that XD. And I have the very last scene figured out, should wrap up the story fabulously, however, I’ve only got 2 more chapters after this one planned, lol, so I need to get my rear in gear and develop the outline for the rest of the story.

ENJOY!

Chapter Eleven: You Don’t Wear My Chains
He had followed. He wanted to understand, and, for a moment, he had been so sure things would be okay. For those few seconds, he had thought things could pick up somewhere close to where they had left off.
“I could smell him on you.”
He’d known about the Kyuubi. There’d been a short while where the Council had debated the missing nin as security risks, and when he had stood up (okay, shown up, since he hadn’t said anything), the truth of the demon had slipped.
He’d known, but had never considered the demon might have integrated into Naruto.
“I think the real question is…did you ever think of me?”
That had stung. But watching the door close had hurt.
He had certain things to say to the dobe, but the other wanted nothing more than to be away from him.
Because of a single, stupid, mistake.
Now he had to watch Naruto seek out Sakura. Watching them vanish inside almost made him with Uzumaki Naruto had never kissed him. Questions, questions, all he wanted to do was grab the dobe, shake him and demand he listen.
Instead, he sat and watched the lights in Sakura’s apartments, and stayed long after those lights went out.
!!!!!!!
He really shouldn’t have felt as pleased as he did to see the black eye Tsugi was sporting. He knew he shouldn’t even care, but he just couldn’t help the smirk that kept trying to fight its way to the surface every time he saw the bastard.
It was bad, he knew. But he just felt so proud he’d caught the damn teen off-guard. Though, how the blonde hadn’t seen the fist coming after the stunt he’d pulled, Sasuke’d never understand.
Of course, his glum satisfaction was destroyed seconds after the thought, by remembering what had spawned the need to punch the dirty blonde. He shot a glare at said boy, who was currently watching him from across the hall in front of the Hokage’s office. He was oh so tempted to knock the current smirk off that boy’s lips.
Never had this much trouble with Naruto.
Naruto.
His eyes widened only a fraction, hardly noticeable, and he had to look away. Damn. He hadn’t thought he’d be this bothered by Naruto’s absence.
The idiot better be on his way back. He’s late.
Late by a few days, which didn’t really surprise him.
Maybe something has happened.
He pushed that thought hard, tried to get it to go away, but something nagged at him.
“What’cha thinking about?”
Sasuke blinked, then looked up. Tsugi wasn’t across from him anymore. Oh no, he was next to him. He stared at the other nin for a brief moment, then looked away again, not answering.
“Better question.” He felt the other’s body lean closer to him, “Who are ya thinking about?” He heard him grin, but didn’t rise to the bait, “Is it me? Bet it is. After all, I am tall, dark and handsome.”
“You’re blonde.”
“HA! So you have noticed.”
Sasuke turned his head to stare at him. Tsugi just grinned, “Someone told me I look like some local kid. You know him?”
I’ve kissed him.
“Apparently he’s off on some big escort mission or something.” Tsugi leaned away, and Sasuke relaxed just a little as the body heat lessened, “I hope he hurries back, I want to meet my twin.”
“He’s not your twin.”
“Oh? So you do know him?” He leaned in again.
Sasuke rose, crossing the hall to take up Tsugi’s former spot. Crossing his arms over his chest, he glared at the Hokage’s door. Why oh why hadn’t she called them in yet.
“Is it true then? Are we similar?”
If he didn’t look at him, he didn’t have to acknowledge him.
“Look at me!”
He cursed mentally as that voice filtered through. Stop thinking about him. Tsugi wasn’t helping the situation, just by bringing Naruto up he was affecting Sasuke more than he could understand. But if he didn’t look at him, he could tune him out. He could drift into the happy world of—
The Hokage’s door swung open, the busty woman looked between the two of them, then smiled.
He didn’t care much for that smile.
“Hello, boys! Come on in! We’re all ready.”
Okay…he definitely didn’t like that look in her eyes either.
!!!!!!!
The world was awash in fire. Heat burned at his skin, tore down his tallest walls and battered at him. He swung a fist out, and deep laughter rumbled around him. The heat dissipated and was replaced by a warm, dark room.
He opened his blue eyes and looked up to meet burning red ones.
Hello, Kit.
“Kyuubi.” He glanced around, “Why did you drag me here?”
Better than your nightmares, no? A long breath of warm air as the Kyuubi exhaled, And it’s been a long time.
“Too bad it wasn’t longer.” The fox demon huffed but other than that appeared unaffected by the comment, “Have you…” he trailed off and looked at the ground.
Yes.
Deep blue shot up again, “Are they coming?”
Yes.
He shivered a little, wrapping one arm around himself, “Will they bring this to Konoha?”
Most likely.
“On Sasuke…earlier…I smelled…”
Him. Kyuubi did not sound pleased. It shifted in its cage and issued a low grumbling noise.
“So he’s been here. San has infiltrated the village.”
They’ll destroy you, Kit. They’ll destroy us.
Naruto smiled, “Just like they promised, ne?”
The Kyuubi chuckled, and flopped down on the floor, Just like we asked them to.
!!!!!!!
Long, sharp fingernails drew across the not-Sasuke’s neck. Naruto couldn’t help watching the long thin line of blood that formed. The silver-haired man smiled at him.
“Soon enough, you’ll realize the mistakes.” He straightened, wings ruffling in the room that just seemed to keep shrinking, “Maybe one day.” Footsteps across the hard floor, “One day you will be ready…”
His heartbeat quickened as that tall body leaned in, fingers clutching tightly to the chair.
“To accept my mercy.”
His eyes widened and his body reacted. Fingers flew into seals of their own accord. The silver-haired man just kept smiling.
Not-Sasuke, however, was the last thing he saw, before he closed his eyes and screamed.
!!!!!!!
He woke to fingers in his hair and the soft sound of someone humming. At first, when he opened his eyes, he was met with total darkness, but that was just the night, and it soon evened out to give him the figure of Sakura, perched on the edge of the couch.
“Why are you up?” He asked, voice croaking.
“You were having a nightmare, I think.” She answered, a cool sound that calmed his nerves, “I thought maybe I could help just a little.”
He smiled at her and pulled her fingers from his hair, kissing one gently before he let her go and pulled himself up, “I’m alright. You can go back to bed.”
She watched him, he could see her green eyes even in the dark room.
“Talk to him, Naruto.”
He tensed again.
“You’ll both feel better.”
He shrugged, “There’s not enough to say.”
“There is a years worth of words waiting to be said.” She took his hand and squeezed it, “Even if…things don’t work out…don’t leave it like this. Just try.”
“I did try!” He snarled, “I...Do you know how many times I…I…” he ripped his hand away and rubbed his chest, casting his eyes downward, “You don’t understand, Sakura.”
“You’re right. I don’t. Neither does he. So you have to make it all make sense. If nothing else, we’re your friends, Naruto.”
“Where are your friends now, Naruto-kun?”
He liked how she said his name. He held on to that.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ch. 11 Fin.
I’ve also started a rework of Hear Me, since I went back to reread it and couldn’t stand what I’d written. It all read too…kiddish. Not my style anymore. So I’ve got an entire story for that one, but it’s going to be a new name. Title is still a work in progress, current winning title is So Long and Good Night, but we’ll see. Told myself I was going to finish this chapter before I even went and wrote a line of it.
Next Chapter: “Who sent you?” and “Who is he?”
I hate that I’m loosing readers. I really am trying to push out new chapters faster. Got it down to a month instead of half a year…that’s a good thing, right? But for those of you sticking with me, or who have just discovered YCNGHA thank you. Even those of you not reviewing, but favoriting the story on FFnet, thank you thank you thank you.
