The Loving Darkness

A boy clothed in black sat at the back of class his face shrouded by his hood. Everyone was sitting as far away from him as possible, a scared look on their faces.

A raven walked into the class room and science it was the only space open he sat next to the black clothed kid. He looked around wondering where the dobe had went to, when he didn't find the hyperactive young blonde he gave up and sat staring at the wall. Untill his teacher Kakashi walked in ten minutes late.

Kakashi looked up to where the raven and the boy were sitting. "Nice to have you back Sasuke."

"Hn," was Sasuke's reply he didn't want to talk. He had been on a mission for two years trying to track down and kill his brother. He had finally seceded and his revenge for his parents had been fulfilled.

Kakashi looked to the boy next to Sasuke and said, "Take off your hood Naruto." Sasuke's mouth almost dropped as he looked to the kid next to him. That couldn't be Naruto!

The Naruto he knew was screaming in his ear ever second of the day. And he wore orange! What the hell had happened while he was gone?

Naruto just sat there; he didn't say anything knowing Kakashi would get the point. Kakashi sighed, Naruto always had his hood up.

Except... that day. Kakashi didn't want to think about. He started writing sentences on the board.

Sasuke heard a sigh escape Naruto's mouth as Kakashi turned around to write meaningless things on the board. Sasuke didn't even pay attention to what Kakashi was saying he was to caught up in his thoughts to care. 'What had happened to Naruto while I was gone?' He didn't even notice that he was staring at him.

"What are you staring at teme?" Naruto asked his voice a bit crueler than usual.

Sasuke looked away, "Nothing dobe." he knew now that this was in fact Naruto. But the questions kept piling up.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Kakashi had dismissed class Sasuke saw Naruto walk outside. 'What the hell is he doing in the middle of the day' Sasuke followed Naruto through town until he finally stopped at a club.

Naruto stepped out a woman followed him as if in daze. Sasuke watched in horror as his friend lowed his mouth to her neck and a couple seconds later let her body slid to the ground. Naruto quickly jumped up onto the roof and headed for home.

Sasuke quickly jumped off of the roof and down to the woman lying on the ground. He put two pale fingers to her throat checking for a pulse. It wasn't there. Sasuke jumped up on the roof anger fueling his body.

Sasuke raced after Naruto until he found him at home. Without knocking the raven broke Naruto's door down.

His anger went down as his brain registered the sight in front him. Naruto was on the floor in front of his couch, his head in his hands, he didn't even notice Sasuke was there. But he soon found his anger again as he remembered the reason he was here. Sasuke ran up to Naruto pinning him against the wall.

Naruto looked up at Sasuke behind the shadow of his hood. "What do you want?"

"What do I want?" Sasuke's voice was filled with anger, "Why did you kill that girl?"

"None of your business." Naruto replied in his monotone voice.

"It is my business, when one of my friends kills a girl for no reason!"

"I had a reason," Naruto's voice was barley audible.

Sasuke slammed Naruto against the wall. The momentum from the crash of Naruto's head against the wall, made his hood fall, revealing his face.

Sasuke gasped as he saw Naruto's face. His dark blue eyes and turned ice blue and had cat like slits for pupils. His face was paler, as if he hadn't gone in the sun for two years. But the most difference in the boy that stood in font of Sasuke was his hair. The boy used to have golden hair, but now it was white the same color as freshly fallen snow.

Naruto averted his eyes to the ground so he didn't have to look at Sasuke's surprised expression.

Sasuke's gripe tightened on Naruto's arms where he was holding him. "Explain," he said simply.

Naruto stayed silent for another couple of minutes until Sasuke said, "I'm not letting you go until you explain."

They stayed like that for about an hour until Naruto finally spoke. "A couple days after you left I was attacked. It was late at night I was tired from a mission I had had that day. A person grabbed my hand and dragged me into an alleyway. He looked into my eyes and I couldn't even think it was like he had stripped me of all of my consciousness. He slowly let go of me and I found that now matter how hard I tried I couldn't move. I was scared but as soon as he looked me in the eyes the fear left my body. He moved his mouth to my ear and whispered 'tonight your life changes' and then lowered his mouth to my neck biting into it."

Sasuke looked at Naruto trying to see if he was speaking the truth but Naruto wouldn't meet his eyes. "Look at me," he growled.

Naruto complied and ice blue eyes met onyx ones. Sasuke searched Naruto's eyes trying to find a trace of lying. When he was positive Naruto wasn't lying Sasuke slowly let him go.

Naruto slowly took his arms down from the wall and pulled his hood back over his face.

"Why do you hide it?" Sasuke asked, the anger was gone from his voice and was replaced with concern.

"Everyone is scared of me, more than they used to be. But this time they have good reason." Naruto walked over to his couch and sat down, looking at the floor.

Sasuke walked over to Naruto and pulled back his hood, Naruto looked at him with questioning eyes, "I'm don't hate you."

Naruto glared at him, "Yes you do you always have! Why would this be any different? I don't need you pity."

Sasuke looked at his sadness coming through his mask, "I never hated you, and I am not giving you pity."

Naruto kept glaring at him, "I don't believe you." he was about to say something else when a pair on lips on his made him stop. Naruto's eyes widened as he noticed it was Sasuke kissing him. They stayed like that a couple minutes but it felt like a second to Naruto.

Sasuke broke the kiss, and smiled, "If I hated you would I do that?"

Naruto smiled in what seemed like forever but was actually two years. "I guess not."

Sasuke sat down next to Naruto and kissed him again, he had been waiting for this from the first time he set eyes on the blonde haired idiot.

After the kiss broke Naruto asked, "Do you want some tea?"

Sasuke nodded, he hadn't realized how thirsty he was. He looked out the window and noticed the sun was going down. His eyes traveled to the door which was on the floor from when Sasuke had broken it down. He got up and shoved the door back into the frame reattaching the hinges, which were surprisingly unharmed.

Sasuke walked into the kitchen, Naruto was standing over the stove boiling water. Naruto had taken his hoodie off when he had entered the kitchen. Sasuke looked at Naruto's bare back and his eyes slid down Naruto's body towards his butt.

Just above Naruto's waist there was a tattoo, but Sasuke could only see the top of it.
