Secrets and lies

Chapter 3 It’s hard saying goodbye
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It was a long and lonely walk towards his worn-out mansion. He spent more time at the bar then his own house. And for the record, he had burned that poster.

Entering, he padded towards his empty kitchen. He opened the cabinet above the sink and took out a box of crackers. He sat down on the counter and started munching.

Sasuke glanced at the time. ‘2:10’ Releasing a sad sigh, he thought, /10 more hours until he’s gone./

~*~*~*~

Sasuke left his home around ‘5:21,’ even though the party didn’t start for few more hours.

Sasuke had to relieve some tension, he wished it was would be with Naruto, always wished it, but he never got a chance with him.

~*~*~*~

Weaving through the crowed streets. Sasuke knew the way by heart; he was rather ashamed of that.

Reaching the place in less than ten minutes, he went in, looked around and spotted a blond with shorter hair then Naruto’s.

~*~*~*~


‘6:00.’

“Lets get this party started!” Kiba shouted, with both fists rose above his head.

“We can’t, not everyone is here yet,” Neji answered annoyed, as he sat across from Kiba.

“Who’s not here?” Kiba pouted.

“Duh, Sasuke!” Sakura filled him in, as she sat beside Neji.

“That’s weird, he said he’d be here.” Naruto announced. “Forget it, start the party and I’ll go get him,” Naruto said, shaking his head as he exited the restaurant. He left before someone could ask where Sasuke would be at.

~*~*~*~


‘7:00’

/I can’t believe it, I got lost./ A tired Naruto walked to the last dark ally there was.

/Note-to-self, if anyone asks; say that I stopped for ice-cream./

Finally finding the right alley, he entered the Night Ninja and looked around the dark place, which was crowded.

/How can I find Sasuke in this dark… he’s DARK himself! Grrr!/

So, Naruto walked up to somebody and asked where Sasuke was.

A couple of people knew what Naruto looked like and he showing up again without Sasuke was a big mistake.

Some of them walked around the blonde muttering about something to another person.

“So you’re Naruto?” a drunk asked behind Naruto.

Two leapt onto Naruto, one grabbing both his arms from behind, another in front of him, the other standing next to Naruto.

“Let go!” Naruto shouted, hoping Sasuke would hear him.

“Sorry but we can’t,” the front one said.

“We want to help you,” one of the ones that were holding Naruto’s arms behind him said.

“Turn off the music and shut up,” the sideman said.

“We want you to hear something,” the guy in front said again.

“Hear what?” Naruto asked confused.

“N-naruto!” a moan came from the closed doors.

The three laughed and one said; “THAT’S what we wanted you to hear.”

“Who was that?” Naruto asked again, confused. “There a lot of people who have that name nowadays,” Naruto tried to explain.

“Uzumaki!” another moan came.

Everything went silent, as Naruto stared at the closed door to his right; realizing the voice belonged to none other then Sasuke.

The three let Naruto go, because Naruto now knew who the voice was.

Naruto left, more like running.

~*~*~*~


‘9:00.’

The three told Sasuke want they did to Naruto and after the blood fight; which Sasuke won of course, Sasuke went to find Naruto to straighten things out.

~*~*~*~


‘11:53.’

He finally found Naruto on a hilltop, under a tree in the dark, stars twinkling in the sky.

The only light was coming from the heavens.

He stood in front of him, with Naruto’s back toward the tree.

“Naruto… I do love you,” Sasuke swallowed the lump in his throat.

An inch was the only thing that separated them.

Sasuke slowly reached for Naruto’s hand, the blonde flinching at the contact. Sasuke placed Naruto’s palm on top of his heart, letting him feel its beating.

“You feel that…?” asked Sasuke. “That’s what you do to me.”

Naruto eyes shone with wetness. Fisting the blue shirt, he dropped his arm to his side and whispered, “I can’t… I’m sorry!” Naruto slowly walked backwards, bumping into the tree with his back.

Turning on his heel, and ran down the hill toward the village gates.

In the back of Sasuke’s brain, a plan was forming.
