Part 1

Day and Night, Together for Eternity

The night is cold and dark. A gentle wind blows making the leaves dance. Our little lake glows with the pale moonlight and the wispy gray clouds hide the stars from sight. Although this may seem bleak, it is the perfect night as we hold each other close. Our body heat warming and comforting each other on this cold night.

It is close to midnight and the village is asleep. I would normally be sleeping too but the night was to perfect to waste. So here I am, sitting by the lake with my love. The lake that knows all of our troubles and pains along with our joys. This spot holds so much of our history, both individual and mutual.

The silence is broken when I ask the same question I ask him every night. "Do you love me?" His answer is different this time. "You know I do and I thank Kami-Sama everyday that I made it to you in time that day 12 years ago." That's because tonight is the anniversary of that day.

The silence returns as we both reflect back 12 years ago today. The day our lake almost held my last secret.

Flashback

Day

I stand near the lake as I pour my heart and soul out, crying till there is nothing left. No one knows I'm here and no one would come if they did. There was only one person who ever cared about me, who knew and understood my pains. I'm standing on the dock where both he and I spent so much of our lives together. We were friends and enemies. I was so jealous of his power and skill. It is only now that he's gone that I realize how much I truly love him, how much I relied on his strength and understanding. We understood stood each other like no one else could.

All the memories of him come flooding back. My heart is empty and heavy against my chest. He left me alone to live life with this pain and torment. I'm lost without him. Why did he leave? Well, I guess I'll never know now.

I take a deep breath as I come to a resolution. I know now what I must do to rid myself of this everlasting pain.

Drinking up the scene around me, I commit it to memory. The night is cold and dark. A gentle wind blows making the leaves dance. Our little lake glows with the pale moonlight and the wispy gray clouds hide the stars from sight.

I walk to the edge of the dock. Once there I close my eyes and breath my last breath taking that final step forward.

Night

I left him but I didn't know the impact it would have on me. I always thought of him as my friend. My annoying and stupid friend. Gliding through the trees with only his face occupying my mind. I'm returning home to him because I love him more than life itself. The night seems lifeless and I'm getting worried. Something is wrong, I'm sure of it. Picking up speed I race across the trees to search for my love.

I reach his apartment and find it completely empty. He's not there, or anywhere. I can't find him and try to think of people who may know of his whereabouts. The list runs empty as I become conscious of the fact that he has no one besides me. I'm his only friend and the only one who really cares about him. I can't stop running, stop searching for him. I know now that I need him. He is my strength, my power. He is the only reason why I'm not dead or alone. Finally I reach the dock and mentally slap myself. Of course he would be here, the one place in the world where either of us can find solace. Wanting to surprise him, I hide my chakra signature and creep silently to his location.

I reach the closest tree and stop. That's when I can really see him. His beautiful face and delicate body. Wait…he's crying! Why? I listen as he pours his heart out to the lake. He loves me? A small smile slowly appears on my face but quickly vanishes as I grasp what he is about to do. He's stopped crying and is looking around. Hope flares in my heart as I pray that he will back out of this decision. Then, like a bucket of water thrown on a tiny spark, that hope dies. He's briskly walking forward to the edge of the dock. I quickly calculate my distance from him. The dock is 4 meters long and the tree is 20 meters away from the dock. I'm about 24 meters away from him. I start running and the only thought is that I'm not going to make it in time.

He reached the edge and is now taking that last step. My voice is gone and I'm in a panic. There is still 10 meters between us and he's stepping off.

Day

My foot is right above the blackness of the lake. I'm about to move and put my weight down on it and fall into the black abyss waiting to silently take my life. That's when it happens. Grabbed suddenly, I'm thrown into a tree 24 meters away from my soundless killer. My captor is breathing heavily and I slowly open my eyes to see who it is. No, it couldn't be…

Night

I see him leaning forward. I get there just in time. All I want to do is hug him close but my anger takes control. How the hell could he do this to himself? I throw him away from the watery depths and slam him into the tree I was watching him from just a few seconds ago. His beautiful eyes open and all I see is pain and shock.

Day

Sasuke?! It's really him! He saved me again. Heh, he's always saving me, just another reason to love him so much. I struggle out of his hold and jump on him, knocking us both down to the ground. I hold him tightly against myself as he does the same to me. I never want to let him go for fear of him leaving me again.

Night

I let him go and he leaps onto me, knocking us both off balance. Landing on the hard ground below we hold each other close. All he wants, no, all he needs is for me to hold him. He's scared and my holding him is his comfort. Softly I whisper in his ear the reason I came back to him.

Day

"I love you, Naruto" My eyes widen and I pull away to look into his eyes. The only emotion I find in those deep onyx eyes is love, pure love. In my ecstasy I pull him to my lips for a passionate kiss. His tongue glides across my bottom lip begging for entrance. I let him in and a moan escapes as he ravishes my mouth.

Night

When I'm done memorizing all the details of his wet cavern, I coax his tongue into my own awaiting moist cavern. I can't stop the moan from escaping as his tongue messages mine. We break apart breathlessly and pull each other into another tight embrace. Positive that he's okay now, I take his hand and lead him to the edge of the dock. As we sit I pull him next to me and keep my arms around his waist as he leans his head against my shoulder. Just as softly he whispers "I love you too, Sasuke"

Sunrise

Still ready to run after him, in case anything goes wrong, I watch the scene unravel in front of me like a movie. I relax as the wind blows those whispered confessions my way. They're finally together. I knew what Naruto was planning to do ever since Sasuke left him. I kept tabs on him at all times. Finally, the boy with sunshine hair, deep sky blue eyes, and a bright personality, the one who represents day; was united with the boy who had black hair, deep ember eyes, and a dark personality, the one who represents night. Day had found his night. With peace in my heart I walk away.

Flashback Ends

Night

"…Everyday I thank Kami-Sama I made it to you in time that day." Thank you Kami-Sama. I don't know where I would be without him by my side.

Day

Resolution fills my heart once again. Everything is exactly the same it was back then and everyone is in the same location. A small smile appears as I think of our little spy. I know how he feels and I can not return that but I'm glad there is someone else who cares. With my head on my husbands shoulder and his warmth keeping me safe, I fall into a peaceful slumber thankful that the one I love, loves me back.

Sunrise

I lean against my tree as I did exactly 12 years ago. This has become a tradition. All three of us would return to the lake on this day. The two of them together and me alone and unnoticed, well at least that's what I thought. That is until I saw the smile on Naruto's face and I knew the truth. He knows I was here that day and he knows I'm here now. He knows how I feel about him but day and night are meant to be together till the end of time. That is the way fate decided it to be. Day and Night, together for eternity.
