Naruto: Yep! Now on with the story! Also there are spoilers from the manga in this chapter so be careful!


Sasuke laid down on his bed waiting for something to happen, he didn't know what but he was waiting for something. A knock was heard on his door as he lifted his head up, Karen appeared in the room. She stared at him for a minute, "S-Sasuke-kun you've been in here for days." She whispered softly to him.

Sasuke growled angrily and turned away from her, "Leave me be Karen!" He snapped angrily and she flinched, "B-but Sasuke-kun we must go to Konoha and destroy it, that was the plan right?" She said her voice was still soft and laced with worry for her team leader.

Sasuke lifted himself up, his eyes red from not sleeping well, "Yes the plan must go on as I had said, we must go tomorrow." Sasuke said without any spirit, for it was crushed and broken when he had killed Naruto, now there was no point not going to Konoha, after all this was his plan for a while now.

Karen nodded, "I'll go tell Juugo and Suigestsu!" She ran out quickly leaving Sasuke alone in the darkness of his room. He sighed and laid back down his eyes closed but the image of the dead blonde appeared in his mind quickly making him snap his eyes open again, he was breathing deeply. He grabbed his hair and pulled on it, when has he ever been so affected by death like this? It was so unfamiliar, this pain he feels in his heart. This terrible regret that was still clawing at him even though it was almost two weeks ago that the blonde AMBU was killed by his very hand.

Sasuke ran his hand through his hair blinking nonchalantly, well most would say that, he stared at his hand his eyes slowly widened as he stared at his hand, blood. He gasped and stared at his hand, he could almost smell the blood that was on his hand, "N-n-no." He stammered and he ran to his bathroom and turned on the water. He tried to rub the blood off but it wouldn't come off no matter how hard he scrubbed his arm. "No! Get off" Sasuke said desperately trying to get all this blood off.

Sasuke finally snapped out of it he slowly moved his hand to his face looking at it making sure there was no blood on it. Then he looked at himself in the mirror and sighed, he looked horrible, red eyes, bags under them, hair completely messed up, something he was sure about he needed sleep.

Sasuke slowly made his way back to his head and used a jutsu to allow him to sleep. Soon his world went black and he was breathing, for the first time in these two weeks, was calm and slow.

-HOLYSHITSAPAGEBREAK!!!!-

Sasuke woke the next day feeling revived and he yawned and rubbed his eyes slowly walking towards the bathroom. He then opened his eyes up wide, "where the hell am I? This had to be a dream!" Sasuke yelled looking around wildly seeing his old bedroom then he turned around and looked at his reflection, he was young again, yep this was a dream. Sasuke sighed and rubbed his temples, what the hell was he doing here?

A knock came from his door and he tensed up but walked over, he realized he was all dressed. He opened the door to see Naruto standing there with a bright smile on his face. Sasuke froze completely and stared at the blonde forcing himself not to hug the young blonde boy right then and there. 'God this hurts! I wish it wasn't a dream' he thought almost begging himself never to wake from this dream and know that this innocent boy was now dead because of him.

"Sasuke-teme!" Naruto said happily smiling at him, "Let's go or we'll be late for Kakashi sensei's lesson!" Naruto said and grabbed Sasuke's hand, Sasuke gulped at the sensation, 'damn it this is just a dream calm down Sasuke!' he thought to himself. He held Naruto back for a second, "Dobe." He said gently to Naruto who was grinning happily, then he looked over at Sasuke, "Teme? What's with the voice?" He asked cocking his head cutely at him. Sasuke sighed and shook his head, "Nothing." Sasuke mumbled before walking beside Naruto.

Soon they were at the bridge, Sakura was there waiting like always. Naruto ran up to Sakura and Kakashi soon appeared next to them, "Your late again Kakashi sensei!" Sakura and Naruto yelled at their teacher and Sasuke smiled sadly at this familiar scene, Kakashi looked over at Sasuke surprised to see the smile on the usually stoic boy. "Sasuke?" He said snapping Sasuke back into reality, "hn." Sasuke said turning his head away from Kakashi and leaned against the railing, "What are we doing today?" He asked and Kakashi chuckled, "Well I thought it would be fun to see you and Naruto spar today."

Sasuke tensed as he remembered the battle he had with Naruto, then relaxed remembering this was just a dream, he only nodded and put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the training grounds. Sasuke looked behind him to see the blond happily following. "This time I'll beat you Sasuke!" He yelled happily and Sasuke just shook his head, "Keep dreaming Dobe." He hissed out and Naruto only smiled and ran up to Sasuke.

Sasuke watched him, a sad glint in his eyes, it reminded him of how careless they were when they were this age. This dream felt real, Sasuke sighed and ran ahead pulling Naruto away from the training area, he sighed again and looked at the puzzled blue eyes. 'They were so beautiful' Sasuke thought he almost forgot how pure those eyes were. His eyes then stared at Naruto's hair, so perfectly spiked and such a true blonde color, his hand raised and gently ran his hand through the blonde's hair, he saw the blush on his sun-kissed face, yes his skin was perfectly tan, it was so perfect, his hand lowered and touched his cheeks rubbing on the whisker marks.

Naruto was blushing madly at what Sasuke was doing, "S-Sasuke-teme! What are you doing!" He said only daring to stare at the onyx eyes, Sasuke's eyes were filled with caring. Such deep caring he couldn't control, also Sasuke realized he felt something else for the unknowing blonde, love, complete love. Sasuke felt something wet slide down his cheek.

They were tears, he stared at the blonde boy who looked worryingly at him, "Naruto…..I love you." Sasuke said lowering his head so not to look the blonde in the eyes, The blonde was about to respond but Sasuke woke up.

-OMGAPAGEBREAKRIGHTWHENITWASGETTINGSOGOOD!!!-

Sasuke woke up with tears in his eyes, "Naruto…." He whispered tears dropped down onto his bed as he held his head, "It's all my fault, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, and now I'm going to go and destroy the village you had loved so much, Naruto I'm so sorry, so sorry." Sasuke whispered tears still spilling out of his eyes. He breathed deeply and calmed himself still breathing deeply.

A knock came on his door, "Come in." He said hoarsely looking at the door, Karen walked in, "Lets go Sasuke," She said her words laced with excitement and anticipation. Sasuke only nodded walking down the hallway with her. Juugo and Suigestsu waited for them, a small smile on both their faces, "Time to prove ourselves." Juugo said and Karen and Suigestsu nodded their heads in agreement.

Sasuke only watched them his mind still on the dream and what he had found out about his feelings for the now dead blonde (A/N: aren't I mean?) Sasuke sighed and nodded his head, "Let's go now." He said walking swiftly out of their hideout his team Eagle followed him closely. Sasuke started to regret this mission but he couldn't just quit the mission or else he would look like he still had some loyalty left in him for his old home. When really the loyalties were only with Naruto, Sasuke couldn't help remembering how beautiful yet cold his eyes were when they were battling. Such dead eyes, why didn't they shine like when they were younger? Why couldn't they show the happiness and determination that they once showed?

Sasuke had a horrible feeling that it was his fault, once again regret had clawed it's was into the very pit of his stomach gnawing on each and every guilty feeling he possessed in him, killing him inside and out, just as he had killed his Naruto the only person who had grasped the stoic boys heart and held it till his death. How could Sasuke know that his feelings for Naruto had been so strong yet so safely persevered in his heart that only with Naruto's death did he take notice of any of these strong feelings.

Sasuke was lost in thought most of the way but his team didn't worry he never spoke anyway so what was the difference now? Sasuke held back a sigh as he stared at the path, suddenly he started to move faster, his team members followed. If this pace kept up they'd be at Konoha by sundown, after all they wanted Konoha to be at least a little surprised by their appearance.

Deep inside Sasuke knew that if he went with the plan his spirit would be even more crushed and so would his heart, because Konoha was the village that Naruto had protected with his life many times over and if it all went to waste what would happen to him? Would he be a shell of himself? Sasuke didn't know all he knew is that he will follow the mission no matter what the cost
