If truth be told, Sasuke wasn't quite sure of what time it really was. He had been training for the majority of the day; He did that frequently. Having gotten so into it, he lost track of the time. It didn't matter, really, he didn't really care what time it was. Though, he would have to guess it was probably only around midnight. The sun had disappeared behind the horizon a few hours ago, brining on the darkness and the cooler air. It was preferable to the warmth after all of that training, the cool breeze felt refreshing, a pleasant feeling. He'd take a break, he decided. Enjoy a quiet walk while the streets weren't so "loud" and populated. Or maybe just sit in the quiet embrace of the night and enjoy the company of the open sky. Yes, that sounded like a good idea. Tossing the sword he used as a weapon aside, allowing it to drop into the grass, Sasuke leaned against a tree. Staring upwards, watching the twinkling stars far above, he let his thoughts wander to completely distant and unrelated matters. Matters of the past few days, of previous missions. . . Of possible future missions. He didn't let his guard down, though. Never. At least, never when he was conscious or awake. Otherwise, there would always be part of him that was keeping its attention elsewhere, on his surroundings, watching out for danger. Even inside the city. To do otherwise might get oneself killed, even if the city was relatively safe. Who knew if someone might not sneak inside who didn't belong, or if some cutthroat citizen decided to try and rob people. And it was the same here. He wouldn't lower his guard, even if he allowed his thoughts to wander. Therefore, it would take a skilled person to successfully sneak up on him without him becoming aware. If, of course, anyone would sneak up on him. It wasn't usually a good idea in a place filled with shinobi. Unless, of course, you were a shinobi.

CREDITS : Template by JAWN of AA, OTE, DMB and TC Apparently, Naruto hadn't been the only one who had been out late that night. After all, he was the one that people normally saw stalking the empty streets at night. It took a lot for the blonde to fall asleep and normally he would walk around the entire city at night to wear himself out enough to fall asleep, and after that it was easy. The blonde had never had problems with sleeping once he was asleep. He was a rather heavy sleeper and slept clear through the night. A lot of the people from the South didn't really know why Naruto did such things, which he knew didn't help his whole complex look. If that was what you called his new personality. He couldn't really help the night thing however, he had always been quiet as to not wake anyone that was sleeping within the kingdom. Naruto couldn't really help himself though. It was normally the night that all his emotions tended to come out on him. Everything that he hid from the world and how much he missed his dad. How much he really, really, missed him. Naruto tended to forget that when he was on missions he had no one at home to wait for him. Sure, he had had his mom, but she had gotten really sick. She was to the point now that the doctor's had told him that she wouldn't last much over a month. She tried so hard, he knew. She tried to be strong for him, but she could barely move and was stuck in a hospital bed almost all the time. He knew it probably hurt her to be in that bed. To not be able to do anything that she wanted to do. And that was another reason why he had changed so much. She needed someone strong, someone that could care for her and didn't cry. But how much the blonde did. How much he wanted to just let everything that weighed on his shoulders just drop off. Naruto didn't even notice where he was going really. It would be this that would lead him straight to the one person he needed most right now. His raven. He really didn't know why he formed the word, his in front of Sasuke's nickname, but it just felt like it fit there. He knew that the raven himself would beg to disagree after all, Sasuke was always off training or just starring at his overly show offy brother. Naruto knew deep down that Itachi wasn't like that but the guy always got so much attention, it bothered the blonde. Naruto just so happened to glance up to see the raven leaning against a tree not far away. Was he dozing off? The blonde smirked a happy smirk. He was a ninja after all and he would finally get the raven back. FINALLY. Naruto was silent as he moved through the shadows coming up to Sasuke. Then when he was right on the other shinobi demon he jumped out poking sasuke in the side. "GOT YOU FINALLY!" he said though the words seemed to fade from his mouth at sasuke's reaction.

He was more of in a deep contemplative mindset, his body on guard, but his mind not. Therefore, anyone sneaking up on him wasn't going to be recognized if they were familiar to him. If they were lucky, nothing too serious would happen to their health before his mind reconnected with his physical body. Thoughts came and went to the Uchiha as he stood there silently, mulling over whatever pass through his head. At whatever thought he came up with, or whatever situation presented itself that he wanted to try to sort out more clearly. Things were what you might call. . . "interesting" at the moment. His goal was to get stronger than the one man he respected most -- his older brother Itachi. For this reason, he trained most days, aiming to achieve that success. And yet, at the same time, there was some part of him that didn't want to get stronger than him. It gave him a goal, but if he ever succeeded, then he would be without that goal, would need a new one. And goals were such a pain to come up with. Alas, he wasn't sure if he wanted to continue to pursue it so obsessively. He'd never admit that aloud to anyone, of course. In fact, he hardly admitted it to himself, he just told himself that he was being ridiculous, scolded himself for such "weak" thoughts, even if they weren't exactly a weakness. Something in the back of Sasuke's mind told him someone was near. That something was also a little too late, and not quite as clear as he would have liked. Almost instantly he had a kunai in his hand -- after all, he had been training, he had an abundance of them on him at the moment -- and spun around to the side as soon as he was poked. The voice who spoke didn't register in his mind as he said, "Think again," and struck out with the kunai at the man's face. It nicked him across the face, drawing a thin line of blood. And then was when he regained proper control of his thoughts, and he blinked a few times, staring at the person. He quickly recovered from his look of surprise, however, and turned it instead into a scowl, wiping his kunai off on his pants before storing it back in its proper place. Naruto. The blond always seemed to be where least expected, and yet, in some ways if you thought about it, it was expected. His goal seemed to eternally annoy Sasuke, however. He didn't precisely hide the fact that that was exactly what he managed to do, either. What he did hide, though, was that he did feel a bond with him. In many ways, he was his best friend. The situation would have to be very dire or serious for him to ever admit that, though. He'd rather be a dead man before he spoke that aloud! "What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice a cross between irritation and exasperation.

[atrb=style, padding-left: 109px] TAGGED : Sasu-butt WORD COUNT : n/a NOTES : sad naruto makes me depressed CREDITS : Template by JAWN of AA, OTE, DMB and TC Naruto knew Sasuke was a lot of things, but he never expected what the Uchiha would do then. Naruto knew Sasuke to be very intelligent beyond his own years and a hard worker. He knew Sasuke had a lot of things that he didn't, but in the same token he had things that Sasuke needed to work on. Such as people skills he guessed. Sasuke was always off training, when Naruto wanted to spend time with him. He liked spending time with the blackette, he really did. It was just, when Sasuke got his mind stuck on something he never got over it. It was one of those many things they had in common that Sasuke would never admit, halfly because naruto thought he was a wuss. Naruto knew that Sasuke didn't really like to be touched and wasn't really thinking about how Sasuke would react to him touching him and coming out of nowhere. So when the Uchiha's flat, clipped words came out in response Naruto knew he had done something stupid. He had only been trying to be nice to the Uchiha, maybe get him to show one of those few smiles that he never normally saw. But this was something totally different. Naruto saw the kunai, early enough to stop it even. But he didn't move, he let his body resist the urge to jump back and avoid the Uchiha's attack against him. Naruto felt the sting of the kunai as it cut into his flesh. He didn't know why, but this cut hurt more than anything he had felt before. He had suffered a lot of wounds greater and more life threatening than the one the Uchiha had just inflicted upon him, but not once had he ever expected his best friend to do it to him. It made Naruto feel empty again. Maybe he shouldn't of come to see the uchiha after all. Naruto did nothing to stop the bleeding as it trailed down the side of his face. His eyes were locked on Sasuke. He didn't have to say anything. The blonde didn't think he honestly could. If look's could kill, Naruto's would make you want to stab yourself. The look seemed so broken, so hurt. Like Sasuke had instead of only nicking him, had simply stabbed him in the back of the chest and simply walked away to let naruto die. It hurt that much. Sasuke had been everything to the blonde, in many ways the Uchiha was all he really had left in this world. When sasuke growled at him in his own way Naruto still didn't say anything. He said nothing for a long time as his blood finally fell from his face and hit the ground from below. Only when he finally ripped his gaze away from the Uchiha did he move. His right hand came up and simply wiped the blood off his face causing it to smear a little bit, but it didn't look as bad as it had before. Naruto didn't look at Sasuke anymore. His eyes were downcast as he finally decided to answer his comrade. "I don't sleep well at night. I normally walk this path every day. I have... things I think about around this time. I didn't mean.. to bother you, but .. I just like to see you. You've been so busy, that I thought you forgot about me. I'm sorry.." he said his voice broken. There wasn't much life in the words he spoke. Naruto didn't know if there was any life left in his body at that moment. He had just been shut down by that simple move that Sasuke had done on reflex. And naruto didn't know why he hadn't dodged the attack. He knew he could of, but it was just odd, to have to move out of the way, from your own comrade. Naruto didn't know what to say after that. He gave sasuke a slight glance before he backed up. "Gomen." he said before turning. He was ready to leave. His thoughts were going to be rambled all night. Naruto knew he wasn't going to able to sleep at all now. Even if he was completely exhausted. He never could when things like this happened. Maybe, he shouldn't of done such things to Sasuke in the first place. Maybe, it was his fault all this happened, his fault, that everyone in his life was disappearing. His fault, his mother was dying in a fucking hospital bed because he couldn't do ANYTHING to help her. Naruto didn't really notice it at first but as these things where playing in his mind tears fell from his face. He didn't really know what to do anymore. Did he.. even really deserve to exist.. other than to host the Kyuubi demon?

Well, it was a plausible enough reason, he guessed. Still, Naruto thinking? Alright, so it wasn't really surprising, actually, far from it. Sasuke wouldn't comment on it, though. . . and mainly for one reason. He hadn't expected such a reaction from Naruto from something so simple. Something simple that could have proved fatal if he had been any more careless. Careless, that was exactly what it was. Nevermind that Naruto had been careless to sneak up on him and poke him. He shouldn't have allowed his guard to get so low, or at least, low enough to let blind instinct take over. The look that ensued from that "mistake" was what one would call devastating. It seemed that the wound cut deeper than flesh. Had he emotionally hurt the blond just now? He hadn't known it was Naruto coming up on him, or he wouldn't have attacked him so. Not with any weapon. He knew that he posed no threat to him. Of course, if he wanted, a fight between them could very well prove arduous, he'd admit that much. Of course, Sasuke was confident that he would come out the victor -- he was always confident in that sense. Over so, even. The dead silence that reigned before the blond spoke seemed. . . well, it made everything seem quieter. Before he had been alone out here, and now he had company, but he heard. . . well, nothing. Not a single chirp of a cricket, or even his own breath. The air hung thick, and as he stared into the opposite blue eyes, ignoring the best he could the "heart-wrenching" look, Sasuke's look became on of genuine confusion and frustration. Frustration? At whom, he wondered. Was it at the blond, the guy he frequently called by the name "idiot"? Or, was it at himself, at the distant knowledge that Naruto's look did indeed bother him more than a little? Why, then, wouldn't he say anything about it? Why did he just keep staring, his emotions showing on his face, even, but wouldn't once mention that he hadn't meant to attack him? That it was pure survival instincts that had led the Uchiha to lash out? Silently, he began to curse himself, telling at himself for even daring to allow himself to be bothered by something so ridiculous. He wouldn't admit to himself that this wasn't exactly a weakness, that in many ways, it could be considered a strength instead. No, the ever unadmittedly stubborn raven would not admit that having a friend wasn't so bad after all. "Thinking? I wasn't aware that you were capable of such a thing," he taunted, teased. It came out like his usual comments; rude, uncaring, sarcastic. Something to try and break the mood, to change it. Get Naruto angry, annoyed, and then he'd forget about being upset, everything would become normal, better, once more. . . Or would it? Sorry. . . well, that didn't belong there. The blond hadn't done anything wrong. Well, other than coming up and poking the unsuspecting Uchiha. But Sasuke wasn't about to admit that he had been the one who had erred, not Naruto. And he liked to see him? Forget about him?! He watched Naruto turn around, apparently ready to leave. Sasuke's profound frown returned tenfold. He was just going to leave, just like that? After coming and tearing him from his thoughts, looking at him like and upset puppy, and now he was going to leave? Unacceptable! "Just going to run off?" he prompted smugly. It was his way of saying, "You don't have to leave," without sounding desperate, or concerned, or as if it bothered him. "It's not like it's possible to forget you."

[atrb=style, padding-left: 109px] TAGGED : Sasu-butt WORD COUNT : NOTES : horrible muse for this post CREDITS : Template by JAWN of AA, OTE, DMB and TC Naruto didn't know what to say or even do. The Uchiha seemed completely fine by all of this as if nothing had transpired at all. Naruto had expected as much from him. Sasuke had always been like that, never showing emotion, and it always got to Naruto in the strangest ways. How could the raven keep everything bottled up inside him and never show anything at all? Then, when he started to think about such things, he thought about himself, about how, he too did that. Only showed people that he was happy and everything was fine, even if he was breaking into two different pieces. In a way, they were the exact same when it came to that. When Sasuke finally did reply to his words it was the same cold, dark tone he always used. The same one that normally got Naruto all riled up and constantly got them fighting. But, now it was as if the Uchiha had said it to the wind itself for not even a lick of anger flared on the blonde's face. Instead the look of pain still crossed there. He had never really been the type of person to tell anyone how he really felt half the time, but he wished he could every once in a while, maybe even to the Uchiha, but now he knew that had been a bad idea. It had been a bad idea to even bother the raven, or anyone else for that matter. "Maybe.. your right.. it seems to not help anything.. when I think." he said softly. The words were the same as they had been before. Broken, crushed anything else you wanted to call them. But they weren't anything close to happy or the normal jumpy spirit that the blonde tended to call normal. Sasuke wasn't really seeming to help any of this, but then again how could he? He didn't know what Naruto was thinking and even if the raven could read minds, why would he want to help the blonde. After all, Sasuke said Naruto only annoyed him and wasn't anything more than just that. Someone who annoyed him and made his day worse, just by existing. Naruto had turned from the Uchiha and could just barely feel the tears that were falling from his face. As Sasuke spoke again, a tear fell from his face and hit the ground along with a few others. "What would you rather me do Sasuke? You already said I am just an annoyance to you. Why would you really want that around?" he asked. Naruto was really bumming now. He hated feeling like this, feeling broken but there wasn't anything else in his body that could save him from the pain he felt right now, with the moon shining down on them. Naruto said nothing to his last comment at first. His shoulders shook slightly and he didn't know what to say to the Uchiha. He knew if he did speak however his words would come out weird because of the snot and tears that ran down his face that he was trying to hide from the proud Uchiha. "I... can't do anything right.. Sasuke... I cant do ANYTHING right... why would you even bother with remembering my name? Let alone remembering me in any way or form.. even if it is in hatred for being something that you don't want around." he said. It was the first thing he had said that had a bit of emotion in it. It had pain, lots and lots of pain. Something that Naruto hid from his voice more times than he could remember. But, he had finally let it out. All his insecurities, even if the Uchiha didn't know it. Everything that Naruto feared or was afraid up was all summed up in that one phrase.

How could he expect them to, though? They weren't exactly helpful. In fact, they were rather rude, cruel even. But, that was just how he was. Of course, to say that it was a "pleasant" existence would be an understatement. Could one truthfully claim that a life of personal solitude was better than one of the opposite? They could say it aloud, could try and convince themselves of it, but that wouldn't necessarily make it true. Bottling things up like that was never a good thing, one day that bottle would get too fill and spill or break, causing a mess. So, did that mean that he was afraid to share his emotions? Probably, he even had to admit that much to himself. But he would rather be afraid inside than seem weak by sharing unnecessary emotions with people that it didn't concern. Or at least, that's what he thought. He frowned even more when Naruto replied to his words. They didn't seem to anger him, or irritate him, or any of the things that Sasuke had intended for them to do. In fact, they seemed not to have any positive impact at all. So they didn't come out like the previous words, but that didn't fool him. They contained none of the usual Naruto-ness that the blondy usually carried. None of the hyper-activeness that seemed common in him. Plus, his expression hadn't exactly changed, only further proof of the raven's suspicions. He had to cross his arms, though, and a look of open exasperation crossed his face. This time the look was different, however. It was more of an "you seriously can't believe that" kind of look. "Yes, and while you continue to agree with me, why don't we add that you eat too much Ramen for your health, that sneaking up on me when I'm not paying attention to who is there could get you killed, and that you're being an idiot. . . again," he said without pause, and his tone carried the same levity as his expression. While normally he would go on with his insults, instead agree with Naruto that it indeed did not help for him to think, he didn't believe that this is what the situation called for. He was just being too. . . depressed, even for the raven's liking. Sure, some more seriousness to Naruto's attitude was always welcome, but there was just something about it that made an upset blond a very bad thing indeed. He didn't like the whole "agreeable Naruto" thing either. Just seemed too weird. What could he say to change this situation around? He decided then that he also didn't like being the one to try and "cheer" up Naruto, but if not he, who else? Though, he wasn't exactly good at this sort of thing, he wasn't too sure how well he would do. Probably terrible, knowing himself. He was the distant type, which conflicted with this whole situation! He would have to complain later when Naruto was back to normal! The whole mood, the atmosphere, hanging about it was disagreeable as well. The night was a very bad time to have serious situations. To think that a day of training had ended up like. . . well, like this! "I need someone around who my insults actually form a humorous response from," he answered, trying to joke, lifting his hands up in a sort-of shrug as if the answer was an obvious one. If seriousness wouldn't get them anywhere, perhaps joking. . . a hard thing indeed for the Uchiha with a bad, a morbid, sense of humor. When Naruto spoke next, after a period of silence, that humor was thrown to the wind. There was no room for humor in those words, no room for some joke, even if sarcastic. The words were as serious, as depressing, as they came. The weight that they carried was different than what the Uchiha was accustomed to from Naruto. And he found that he preferred the annoying blond over the emotional one. What to say, though? It was obvious that Naruto was crying, obvious from his shaking form and how the words sounded. Still having held his hands up from his previous gesture, he slowly let them lower to his sides. "Maybe you're right, perhaps you can't do anything right," he said, and the words indeed sounded rude, despite being meant for the opposite. Changing his tone to a more "soft" one, he went on, "But who are you to think with that flawed logic? You really aren't meant to think, you get such ridiculous ideas in that head of yours, you know." He gave a small chuckle, trying to lighten the mood. "Look, you aren't completely useless despite what I say," he admitted more seriously. "You're. . . 'interesting'. Yes, let's go with that. Cheer up, I'm not going to forget you, so get that ridiculous notion out of your head." It was the closest he could get to being genuinely nice, he had a hard time doing such a thing. He leaned against the tree again, crossing his arms and staring at the back of Naruto's head, waiting for some kind of response.

[atrb=style, padding-left: 109px] TAGGED : Sasu-butt WORD COUNT : NOTES : horrible muse for this post CREDITS : Template by JAWN of AA, OTE, DMB and TC Naruto had never really been one to put his own emotions on others. It was probably why the male had always seemed to happy before. Why he only let people see that he was happy. Why, he was always so chipper when he seemed a little off. Naruto, however, was a lot more shaky around sasuke. A little more unreserved. It was because, he was more of himself around Sasuke. The raven brought out a lot more in the blonde than anyone had ever been able to do before in his amount of life he had lived alone. That was why Naruto was having a hard time, even now hiding such feelings that had hurt so much from the raven. He didn't want to be like this right now. Heck, he hadn't ever even wanted to be mean or rude to sasuke. He enjoyed arguing with him for the reason that he could always laugh about it later and say that they only argued cause they cared about each other, but this was different, this was something that couldn't be laughed at later. This, was something that had just finally poured over much like Sasuke's own hidden emotions. As naruto turned his back to sasuke, he furiously tried to wipe away the tears that were freely falling down his face. Sasuke, didn't deserve to see him like this. It was just an accident right? Sasuke hadn't meant for any of this to happen and it wasn't fair of the blonde to put Sasuke through this. He knew the raven wasn't good in these kind of situations. When Sasuke tried to kid with him about Ramen Naruto didn't trust himself to say anything. He only guessed if he did they would probably once again go into another round of words that would only lead to more sadness and unwanted emotions. Naruto said nothing at being called an idiot. He was used to that by now. Sasuke had always chosen that nickname for the blonde, and normally Baka would return from his own mouth toward the raven. Though Sasuke's next statement actually caught the blonde off guard. Humorous response? So when Sasuke insulted him, he was really laughing too? Naruto had always guessed that since Sasuke had really never yelled at him before, but it was nice to actually hear the boy say it. It made the blonde smile slightly even though he felt like everything was crashing down all at once. It couldn't stop naruto from saying how he really felt however. So it came out when Naruto really didn't want it to. Naruto tried to stop shaking, but it wasn't working. Naruto's eyes shook at Sasuke's first statement. Then, Sasuke too thought that he couldn't? Naruto didn't know what to do and almost felt like everything was crashing down all at once, before Sasuke spoke again. His eyes widened and he could feel his pupil's shake. Naruto slowly closed his eyes and just let his mind wrap around the words that were coming from the raven's mouth. Naruto couldn't help but let a small chuckle form on his mouth. "Hey, I guess that would be impossible right? Since I bother you to much anyway." he said turning to Sasuke slightly so that the was halfway and not facing him entirely. "Gomen, Sasuke, I shouldn't of put this much pressure on you. I know you don't like this stuff. But, Arigato, for staying." he said softly.

Usually he was too reserved for this kind of thing. Too closed-up to have any kind of emotional conversation with another. And yet, here he was, doing just that. It was difficult, he had to admit, and yet, at the same time, it wasn't. Curious indeed, he decided. If Naruto had been looking at him at this point, he would see the slight confusion etched across his face. Of course, if Naruto had looked, Sasuke probably wouldn't have shown it. He didn't want to have to try and explain it. If there was one person though that he would explain it to, it would indeed be the blond in front of him. It only confused Sasuke more, he always tried to prevent getting close to anyone by being cold, rude and indifferent. And yet, this single person in front of him had gotten through that barrier... And he didn't regret it. He didn't want to have it any other way. This boy was his friend. Because of that, he didn't want to see him upset, particularly when the cause of his outburst had come from Sasuke not paying attention. There were obviously other things that had built up to spill over, but Sasuke felt that this recent one was rather his fault. Keeping emotions bottled up wasn't a good thing, though. He wouldn't take his own advice however, even if the situation presented itself. He also wouldn't give the advice to others, it was their own business if they wanted to keep things to themselves, and usually he wouldn't even want to listen. But again, this was Naruto he was talking to. If the blond wanted to share anything with him, he would listen to him, and without too much complaint. Even if he had a hard time thinking of what to say. So when Naruto chuckled and turned slightly, Sasuke let a small smile creep onto his own face. This was progress, Naruto was cheering up -- or so Sasuke sincerely hoped. Still leaning against the tree, his smile turned into a smirk when the blond spoke. "Of course that's a reason, you're always around bothering me... But..." he paused here, biting his lower lip as he tried to get the words out. Without his knowledge, that confused look managed to get back on his face as he stared at him. He couldn't just cut off now, leave it at a dead end and not finish what he began saying. "But I... enjoy that." He wouldn't deny it, he did indeed enjoy Naruto's company. Sure, sometimes it got annoying because he was trying to do something, and sometimes he didn't want to be in his company because he wasn't in the mood, but the majority of the time, he did enjoy it, despite how he might have acted about it. He let out a small chuckle and shrugged at Naruto, "I was here first, Naruto, why should I leave?" he teased. His tone suggested that he wouldn't have anyway. "Don't apologize, Naruto. And don't thank me, either. It's nothing. I mean, if I was in the same position, I'd want someone to be able to talk to as well." He pushed himself away from the tree and walked up to the blond. Still showing a nice side that he only ever showed to two people (Itachi and Naruto respectively), he placed his hand on his shoulder. "This place isn't exactly happy right now. Do you want to go for Ramen?"
