X1 "Five Years from Walking Away"

"I'm sorry I made you cry, and I'm sorry I wasn't there for you Naruto; as a friend, a partner, or a lover." While his touch on my cheek was soft, his words were sweet. The combination of the two made my heart bleed, begging for some kind of merciful release. When I swallowed the lump in my throat as I watched him walk away, I knew there wouldn't be any. And that had hurt somehow, more than any fight.

"So that's it then?!" I demanded balling my hands into fists. I could feel my nails dig into my palms. "You're just walking away?!"

As if my voice couldn't carry very far he just continued to walk away. "Bakaro. Sasuke no bakaro!" Drops of rain landed at my feet. Don't walk away from me. His footsteps began to grow faint and I hadn't said anything to change his mind. "I promised to stay with you as long as you loved me!" I yelled. "Are you telling me that's suddenly changed?!"

As more rain began to soak into the clothes we wore he stopped and turned sideways. "No. That will never change. I will always love you. The way your eyes brighten when you get happy. When you fight long past the point where anyone else would quit. Your strength, your stamina, your courage, your kindness; all of you I will always love."

"Then why are you walking away?" I demanded wiping at my cheeks. "Why are you acting like I won't exist once you can't see me?"

"I have to get stronger. If I continue on the path he knows I'm walking, then I won't have any choice but to kill you." I swallowed hard. "There has to be another way. Another strength I don't possess. When I find it I will come back for you."

"You won't be the same." I told him.

"Appearance wise I may change, but as long as my feelings for you remain you will always be mine. No matter how much time passes I will never let you forget your promise."

"Like I want to." I whispered as he walked away from me once again. "But you'll change Sasuke. Whether or not you still love me, your heart won't be the same. The heart I love now is the one I want if you come back." If I had known then what I know now, perhaps things might have been different…

5 years later…

Turning over under warm ruffled bed sheets I found my arm wrapped around the slender shoulder of Gaara, the sand village ninja. For months he had concentrated solely on a jutsu that sealed the Shikaku inside him even in sleep. There had been a rough time when he fulfilled a part of the jutsu. It was the very beginning and in order to even be able to perform the jutsu he had to kill the very person that forced the Shikaku to reside within him. His very father. It was after that when he found me. It had been spring and he had gotten closer to me then anyone else had.

The jutsu had been successful to the point where Gaara was able to sleep a bit. Being so used to staying awake for so long he had yet to get an entire night worth of sleep. Black still outlined the eyes that had become softer then before.

With a silent sigh my eyes started at his pale naked chest and moved down on his body. The very same body that melted against mine the night before. We hadn't done much more then explore each other's body and memorize all we could with our mouths. My gaze stopped just below his waist and I could feel my cheeks pinken. For someone who had never gotten intimate he was really…well, lets just say he woke up to find me starring at him blushing. And waited five minutes before he said anything. "It's yours."

I quickly looked up to find him giving me the closest thing he'd ever made to a smile. A small lift at the corner of his lips. Glancing away I swallowed hard and turned over sitting upright on the edge of the bed. The sheet settled over my lap. "Gaara, we have to talk." I told him.

The bed shifted as he came and sat up behind me. "What's wrong?" he asked, his voice soft, but still gruff as it always was.

"You were Kazekage, something I've never been able to reach. Kage wise anyway. You were finally respected by your village. I don't feel right knowing why you gave it up. You deserve to be Kazekage much more then Temari does." Turning my head he lifted my chin and slipped his tongue through my lips. I swallowed his taste only to find I was kissing him back. My back landed on the bed and he leaned over me, devouring me with his mouth. His right hand started flat on my chest. As he broke the kiss to breathe it began to move down. "The only one I want respect from is you."

His mouth began to devour my neck, leaving me speechless. When his fingers wrapped around me my head thrust forward. "G-Gaara…not now." I grunted. My teeth clenched together as his fingers ran up and down my length, barely touching it, but enough to make me crazy. I was left without argument and my legs were lifted and he held them up with his shoulders. My head fell back when his tongue licked over the edge and I gripped the pillow hard. I could feel heat as he took me all the way in and sucked hard, his tongue sliding from one side to the other.

When I tried to pull myself up I simply slumped back down. My bones had melted too much for me to do much of anything. After rhythmic thrusts and pulls, suckles and bites, he pulled away, his bottom lip dripping with the exerted semen. Gliding his tongue over it he took it in and swallowed slowly, almost deliberately. His finger wiped the rest away from me and that he took in as well. Lifting my legs from his shoulders he resided in his original spot next to me. When I turned to face him his hand molded over my left hip. "We can't stay in bed all day." I reminded him. "Lady Hokage wants an appearance with us."

"Until then you're mine Naruto." His hand slid from my hip to between my legs. "I want inside you."

My hand covered his. "Not yet. We can do anything else we want, but there can't be any penetration yet."

"Then I have until then to learn new ways of turning you on." The look in his eyes became deviant and I was his again until it was time to see Lady Hokage Tsunade. Gaara had filled that time learning about my turn on's and turn off's. One turn on had been making it rough while one turn off had been role play. But since role play still remained of interest we decided we would try it differently later.

Having been escorted to Tsunade's office we stood facing her only to have her facing away from us. She turned and sat before us and we continued to stand. She gestured for us to have a seat. "I'll assume you know why I wanted an audience with the two of you?"

I glanced at Gaara and he glanced at me. There could have been a number of reasons why she wanted to see us; including all the ones that weren't serious. But there was one major reason that I brought up. "Gaara giving up his position as Kazekage to live in the leaf village?"

She nodded and lifted a pen in her hand. "That's part of it," she said scribbling on old paper. "I need to speak to Gaara alone to finish his paperwork. I expect to see you," she pointed the pen at me, "when we're done."

I nodded and waited outside in the hall. While I waited I met up with little Konohamaru. Though the honorable grandson of the third Hokage wasn't so little anymore. He had grown, but he was still shorter than me. His hair had grown out and his leaf headband was tied around his forehead. "Hey Konohamaru! How ya doing?"

"Hey Naruto! Check this out! Harof jutsu!" In a blaze of smoke he used the sexy jutsu, but in combining it was a winged jutsu he created a literal naked angel. I laughed. "That's awesome!" He poofed back to normal. "How long did that one take you?"

"A long time, but it was worth it." "You bet it was! That's even better than my sexy jutsu."

"It was supposed to be better then your harof jutsu, not your sexy jutsu." I laughed again. "Yeah, that's not gonna happen 'till you're as good as me! Keep practicing Konohamaru."

While I waited for Lady Tsunade I caught up with Konohamaru. He'd been placed in the same group as his friends and was apparently close to Aoagi. I wasn't sure how much time we spent talking, but we parted easily when Lady Tsunade demanded to see me alone. I sat in the same chair as Gaara and waited while the old bird rummaged through old paperwork. When she was done she folded her hands together in front of her on her desk. "Naruto…" She sighed. "When you were born your mother made arrangements for your living conditions. Now I know you're in a relationship with Gaara, and trust me that only makes this harder. But in order for her to make arrangements a deal was struck."

I nodded listening intently. This was certainly news to me. I never really knew my mother, nor had I ever wondered about the circumstances of my living arrangements. "What kind of deal?" I asked.

"The deal…was…an arranged marriage." Even though I knew it was hard for her to tell me this, my eyes still widened and my hands still shook. An arranged marriage? It made me wonder why this information had been kept from me. I gulped, chocked, then gulped again. "To who?"

He gaze avoided mine almost guiltily. "The deal was made with the Hyuga clan."

"You mean I have to marry Hinata?!"

"It wasn't the main branch Naruto, it was the side. The one you're arranged to marry isn't Hinata it's…"

I wanted to scream, but simply swallowed my pride and walked away as nonchalantly as I could. Only hoping that the now broken heart couldn't be seen on my sleeves.
