Prelude

A/N: This story is a re-modification of the Naruto fanfiction Last Song (http://naruto.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=38094). There may still be parts that remain the same as the original story in later chapters though. Be assured I have the other author's consent. =)

Prelude

THE roar of the cascading falls gushing down from the majestic heights was muted even in the close distance. He could only hear the frantic beatings of his heart, the adrenaline rushing through his blood. Staring into the other’s eyes, it was as if his world has narrowed down to the two of them, and he could see nothing else – not the wavering trees in the wind, the glistening water under the sunlight, the frightful flocks of birds taking flight, nor the towering statues behind. There were only him and those frustrating blue eyes, shining with such determination and promise. His face might be cool and unreadable, but questions were whirring in his mind and he wanted nothing more to scream then. Why? Why couldn’t he just let him fall to the degrading pits of hell? Why show him the ugly truth? Everything he was going to forsake for power was burning in those soulful blues and at that moment, he hated the man for being there. He must not hesitate now. Going to Orochimaru for power was the only path that he as an avenger could take. Forcing his troubled thoughts back, he summoned a chidori in his hand and thrust for the other’s heart, knowing for sure the deadly hit would be dodged.

He did not dodge.

The cackling ball of electric blue went through the boy’s body, tearing easily into flesh and bones easily, meeting no resistance. Ebony eyes widened almost comically, his face coming alive with shock after the realization of what had just happened sunk in. He stared unbelievingly at where his hand had gone through – the gaping hole in the other’s torso, and nothing could explain the choking fear and regretful rage that welled up almost immediately and clenched his heart. Slowly, he lifted scandalized eyes to the other’s face. The person in question has closed his eyes, his expression showing only the barest hint of pain.

“Why?” he whispered, so soft that he could almost not hear himself. “Why go to this extent to bring me home?”

For a couple of moments, there was silence and he thought there would be no answer. Then, unwavering hands raise themselves and fell soundly on both sides of his shoulders, gripping gently. “Because you can’t kill someone who loves you…bastard” came the strained reply. There was a faint grin before dark blond lashes fluttered open.

It was this moment - at the historical valley of the end, under the fading light that Sasuke would always remember the hypnotic glow of Naruto’s beautiful blue eyes and the intensity of life that burned in them.
