Tainted

A Naruto Fanfiction

By Teki Star

Babble: Sasurin and Naru-chan aren't mine, much to my dismay. But this fic is, therefore by stealing anything from it I retain the right to come after you with a steak knife. :- ) Have a nice day.

... I think underneath my optimistic outside, I must be a very depressed person, since it seems I can write nothing but angst. --; So... Here's more depressing things. Enjoy. ;

Lips met with hesitation, partly because of their embarrassment to be doing something so forbidden, partly from their lack of knowledge and experience. Neither of the pair had really been in a relationship before, and so it was a clumsy kiss, with a bit of slobber, but a kiss none the less.

Sasuke leaned forward, deciding he quite enjoyed the feeling of Naruto's lips on his own. His tongue grazed the other's lips, and, with unsure and shaky movements, the gate was opened, allowing the pink Uchiha tongue to snake in to meet its partner.

The sensation was truly strange; as Naruto's tongue sneaked into Sasuke's mouth, the coal-haired one couldn't help but to think it felt like a warm blob in his mouth. It wasn't how he expected at all, and wondered if his tongue felt the same to the blonde. He couldn't say it felt bad, though.

In the back of his mind, he vaguely remembered reading once that a couple usually only breaks a kiss when they need to breathe. Weird, he casually thought to himself. I can breathe just fine; did those couples have breathing problems? Never the less, he dismissed the thought and put his energy into what he was doing: cleaning Naruto's teeth.

Without meaning to, the pair began to lean backwards, soon resulting with Sasuke lying on top of the smaller boy, using his elbows to support his weight. Naruto's hands were on his back, rubbing it and clinging to the black shirt he sported.

Suddenly, without warning, the blue-eyed boy broke the kiss, looking up to meet the twilight-eyes sadly.

He made no sound, but by his lip movements Sasuke could make out that he was asking, "Why?"

He raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Why what, Naruto?"

Again, the loud-mouthed boy refused to speak, and only mouthed a few undistinguishable words. Sasuke tried over and over to get him to speak, but still no cheery voice was heard. He simply mouthed the same thing over and over, as if his life depended on it.

"Naruto, stop playing games! Speak up!" This whole ordeal was beginning to grate at his nerves; first kissing, now suddenly this sad excuse for a prank.

Salty streams made their way down Naruto's face, and he bit his lip for a second. Then, with more frantic movements, he mouthed the phrase again and kept replaying it. But no matter how many times he repeated, it didn't reach Sasuke.

"Just tell me, Naruto! Use your voice." He ran his hands through Naruto's hair, trying to calm him. He was beginning to get worried; Naruto cried not just for no reason; this was something major and extremely important.

The coal-eyed boy summoned his Sharingan eyes, hoping that would aid him in translating the secretive lips. With everything played in slow motion, it made things a lot easier to comprehend and translate.

"Why...did..." Sasuke slowly said out loud, using Naruto to confirm he was understanding correctly. "You... kill... me?"

The second the last word escaped his lips, his eyes shot as wide as they could and his pupils dilated in pure shock and everything disappeared around him, shattering like glass. Naruto faded, eyes still coated with fresh tears and lips redden from the kiss.

Sasuke opened his eyes and looked down, trembling. His body was coated with the Curse and his hands were painted with fresh, red liquid, dripping onto the blonde-haired body below him.
