Without you, I'm Nothing

Chapter 1

I sat in my room.

The curtains drawn, everything in my room switched off but my cell phone: which I kept on silent. It was dark outside now, and in my room it was even darker.

The darkness didn't bother me anymore. But that was my life now, dark.

I watched my phone as the screen lit up, another in-coming call from Sakura. I ignored it.

I lay on the floor of my room, curled up in a ball, my eyes staring into the darkness, tear stained cheeks. I wanted nothing more than to disappear into nothingness.

"Sasuke..." I whispered as my lip quivered, I could feel the salty cold water run down my cheeks again. "Don't leave me..."

But it was too late.

I held his headband in my hand.

He was gone.

He couldn't hear me scream at night when I cried out for him as I woke from nightmares where I was surrounded by nothing, calling for you. Every day was a nightmare for me. Every day was dark... and every day I called for you, Sasuke.

I know I had to wash the past away, but I couldn't. I couldn't forget the nights we shared together, when I had Sasuke with me... when I held him in my arms as we made love.

It was all I had left anymore, only memories. But memories soon fade, and once they're gone. What do I have left?

I lay awake again another night, it was now morning and I could see the faint light of the sun behind my curtains.

My body jerked slightly as my cell-phone vibrated suddenly against the wooden floor. It was a text message from Sakura "Urgent?" I said to myself as I swung my hand down to the floor to pick up the phone.

I opened the message, reading the text from Sakura.

Naruto, there's some important new. The Hokage needs to see you, immediately! Love Sakura

What was it that was so urgent they needed to see me about? I got up, washing myself in the shower, it had been so long since I had gotten out of bed and washed myself properly. I felt like a zombie as I lazily stumbled over to the bathroom.

Clean and dressed, I wondered over to the mirrow. I looked at myself in the mirror as I put on my headband; my skin was pale and my eyes were puffy, dark circles beneath them from the many nights I spent awake crying.

I stepped out the door of the apartment, the sun and warm light burned my eyes. I held a hand above them, just at my eyebrows, shading my sensitive eyes from the sun. I walked through the village; it was busy as always on a morning as young ninjas made their way to the academy, Ichiraku Ramen opening its stall for the day. I hadn't been there in ages. And everyone going about their daily lives. I kept my head down as I walked past them, just being out and seeing the normal people of the village made me think of Sasuke.

I reached the building in which the Hokage's office was within, I reached the door to her office; I raised my hand as I knocked at the door.

I opened the door as I walked into the Hokage's office.

Lady Tsunade sat at her desk, her elbows resting on the desk as she rested her hands under her chin. She smiled warmly at me as I walked up to her desk.

Tsunade chuckled, "Good morning Naruto." She said smiling.

"Good morning," I replied as I stood in front of her desk.

"Good morning Naruto" I heard Sakura's voice as she walked up to me.

"Good morning Sakura-chan" I replied politely, turning to nod at Sakura. She nodded back.

"Now Naruto. I know you have been having a rough time since the loss of Sas- Since the loss of a close friend and fellow ninja of the village. That's why you're the only ninja who can do this mission for me. I have something important I need to tell you Naruto." Tsunade said, her smiled faded as she looked at me, her face was now serious.

I watched her facial expression hard, "What is it granny?" I asked.

She sighed as she looked down at the papers scattered on her desk, "it's Sas- It's Sasuke."

"What?" I asked shocked. Did I hear that right did she just say... "S-Sasuke...?"

"Yes." She answered as her serious eyes flicked back to me. "Sasuke has been captured, and has been held captive in the village.

"Wait, what? I don't understand... Sasuke... caught... brought to the village? I said as I clenched my fists, staring hard at Tsunade. This was a joke right?

"Yes Naruto. It seems Sasuke had returned to the Village, a shinobi of the Village spotted him and captured him immediately. We don't know what to do with Sasuke since he did leave the village to seek out Orochimaru, therefore we are holding him in a special unit in the Village where he is being closely watched by members of the Black Ops." Tsunade sighed before continuing, "We need you Naruto, we need you to talk to him. But if you don't, we understand completely."

"Yes. I'll do it. I'll talk to Sasuke." I said my voice was stern and steady, but inside I felt like I could just burst out into tears and cry just there...
