Bittersweet

Chapter 1

I’m giving up the ghost of love
in the shadows cast on devotion

Memories. They begin flashing through his head like one of those old, silent films . . .

Monster

Demon

Filth . . .

He’s such a waste of space. It would be better if he just disappeared.

The first three insults were like a casual walk in the park for the boy, but the last one that was being thrown about in his mind with the rest, was a new one. He closed his eyes tight to stop the tears from flowing out as the last words he had heard that day echoed inside his head. Sure, when the other villagers spoke of him in such a disgusting way, it hurt . . . But this time it was different, it wasn’t just anyone who said it. It was Sasuke.

Earlier that day while the Kyuubi boy was on his way home from a bit of training, he overheard a certain conversation between Sasuke and Sakura . . .who he had just recently discovered, hated him, but Sakura did not mean much to him, who did, was Sasuke.

Flashback

A frustrated sigh could be heard coming from a pink haired girl as she clenched her teeth and plopped down on a bench in a fit of aggravation, one raven haired boy sitting beside her, leaning back and relaxing as if he could not hear the seething girl beside him

“God that boy is so annoying!” She shouted, strumming her fingers on the edge of the bench “He’s always so hyper and energetic, it’s a miracle he hasn’t just given into their taunts and let them win, maybe then everyone would finally leave him alone. Poor bastard hasn’t realized that yet . . .” Sakura gave a shake of her head as she silenced herself. All was quiet until the Uchiha boy beside her spoke up

“He’s such a waste of space. It would be better if he just disappeared . . .” Sasuke said in agreement with Sakura before turning his head and staring off in the opposite direction of the girl. His eyes soon seemed to be lost in whatever he was staring at as something deep down inside of him broke.

Naruto had been hiding behind one of the many trees they were surrounded by as he listened to the two as they spoke of him in such a cruel way. He bit his lip with great force in order to hold back the tears that were threatening to spill out from his already watering eyes before sliding down the tree and on to the ground. At that point, to reduce the risk of getting caught because he felt a flood of tears coming on, Naruto sprang from his spot on the hard ground and ran as fast as he could back to his apartment, ignoring the shouts he was getting from people for cutting them off or almost bumping into them. When he reached his apartment he ran to his bedroom and slammed the door so hard it almost fell off its hinges. The Kyuubi boy threw himself onto his bed and hugged a pillow to his chest.

End Flashback

And this was where the boy was now. His knuckles and finger tips were white from the pressure he was clinging to the pillow with and even though he tried his hardest, it wasn’t enough. Tears started spilling out frantically, falling from his cheeks and landing on the pillow he so desperately clung to, leaving a burning sensation on his reddened face. How could Sasuke say such a thing? He finally thought he had found someone; someone to be friends with, someone to talk to when needed . . . someone to love. All of that came crashing down in an instant. As Naruto sat there he kept replaying the scene in his head, making it harder and harder for him to concentrate on trying to calm himself down. The tears would not cease as he cried silently. Alone.

He is the one that I adore
creed of my silent suffocation

When he glanced at the clock through blurry eyes he noticed an hour had passed and the sun was almost completely set. He quickly wiped his red and teary eyes on his bright orange sleeve and tossed the pillow on the bed. The Kyuubi boy got up and went to his door, stopping for a moment when his stomach grumbled. That’s right! He was going to get some ramen after training but . . .Naruto quickly shook his head, not wanting to bring the painful memory of that day back. The boy opened his bedroom door and headed downstairs. He didn’t bother making sure he looked OK after all that crying, just left and headed to one of his favorite places.

Ichiraku! Despite his current mood, Naruto couldn’t help but smile when the Ramen shop came into view. He saw that there were no customers and jumped up spastically, like normal, onto to one of the stools, relaxing a bit by placing his elbows on the counter and resting his chin in his palms. The owner came over and Naruto ordered his food with great, fake, enthusiasm, not enough to fool anyone though. The man stopped for a second as he eyed the blonde curiously before just letting it go and getting back to work on the kids Ramen; moments later though, an unexpected guest would show up.

Sasuke stopped. He saw the blonde from almost a mile away and hesitated, more like stopped in his tracks to stare longingly off into the distance. The raven haired ninja felt his cheeks heat up but quickly scolded himself silently until the blush disappeared. After arguing with himself inside his head he decided on going up and joining Naruto. The Uchiha took a deep breath and walked the rest of his way to the Ramen stand where the Kyuubi boy sat and waited for his food.

“Where have you been all day dobe? Sakura and I haven’t seen you around.” When the blonde heard the familiar voice he almost jumped out of his skin, the hair on the back of his neck rose. Why? Why now? He finally thought he was going to enjoy being alone and eating his Ramen. Naruto cursed himself under his breath, knowing now that it wasn’t a good idea to have come back out after his little break down. The now flustered Naruto turned to look at Sasuke for just a moment, saying nothing, and that was enough.

Sasuke pulled a confused face and leaned forward a bit to get a better look at the boy. He had been crying, The Uchiha noted how puffy the smaller boys eyes were, and how red and tear stained his cheeks appeared “Hey, Naruto. . .You all right?” He wasn’t going to show it, but deep down, seeing Naruto like this worried him greatly.

“What do you care?” Naruto spat back coldly. This took Sasuke by surprise and his eyes grew wide with shock, but the blonde didn’t seem to care or notice as he jumped from his stool and ran off down the street.

Break this bittersweet spell on me
