Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Does it hurt? ❯ Your Pretend Love ( Chapter 4 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
By: Darkened Fire - Tears of a Kitsune
Please, please forgive me,
But I won’t be home again.
Maybe someday you’ll look out,
And, barely conscious, you’ll say to no one:
Isn’t something missing?

You won’t cry for my absence, I know
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn’t something missing?
Isn’t someone missing me?

Fox: I wrote one with you and Sasuke!
Neji: Uchiha's a stuck up prat, who would want to be with him?
Fox: -Whistles- Naruto maybe?
Anyway, review response for Princess Kitana!
Princess Kitana: He does too! Yay! Things should begin moving along soon, so keep your fingers crossed I find time to write more! Actually, I think it might be `Rin', she's the girl from the Sound ninja team during the Chuunin exam, I love that team. . Anyway, have a Sakura plushie!
Sasuke rapidly stood up from his chair and strode over the room to where the woman stood, holding his face less then a few inches away from hers. She backed up slightly, fear flitting across her features before her eyes narrowed, refusing to become submissive. “Where is this house?” He hissed menacingly. Misuki seemed to contemplate for a moment whether or not to tell him. “Why do you need to know?” She replied, defiant. “I… have some unfinished business to complete with Naruto.” The dark haired boy waited expectantly while the older woman was silent for a moment, shifting her gaze away from his own almost desperate eyes.
“She and her family have a house in the market place; she has a flower shop out the front while they live above it. You will know it when you see it.” Knowing he could get no more information from her, Sasuke moved away, “Thank you.” He murmured over his shoulder, though he did not see Misuki's nod in reply.
Common sense told the dark haired teen that, like most villages, the market place would more then likely reside towards the centre of the town. This proved to be true when the crowds of people thickened considerably as he began to venture deeper into the small yet pretty little town. It was a busy place, and because of this he was not given more then a second glance save for the odd young girl who would stare openly for a few moments before he disappeared into the surge of bodies.
There were hundreds of stalls, vendors and little shops selling a variety of items from wondrously beautiful silks and clothes to tiny trinkets and figurines. No matter how exotic or strange these things were though, Sasuke did not spare time to look at anything; there was only one treasure he was searching for. Though he wanted to find Naruto straight away, he did not want the blonde to know he was in the village before he had located him, incase the other boy ran. Masking his own charka, he felt safer in knowing that he not lose Naruto again.
It was no more then an hour later when a tiny pinprick of familiar chakra tingled through his body. The Uchiha's heart began to beat faster as he tentatively stepped in the direction of the strange sensation, his heart pounding against his ribs. The feeling became stronger with each step he took, as did his speed, suddenly, he was running through the crowds, dodging around people as he went. He was so close…
Turning right at this corner, left at the next, going back when he lost the feeling and running the other way, excitement poured from his heart while his lungs yelled for him to stop. But he knew he couldn't, he sprinted near blindly until... stop. Halting sharply, Sasuke glared at the offending wall blocking his way. Naruto's charka was setting his body alight, pulsing from the other side of the wall. Having come to a dead end, the dark haired teen glanced up at the building to his left. Silently, he molded his chakra and began to steadily climb the building side up to the roof.
Having reached his destination, Sasuke peered down from the building top at the area that had been previously blocked from his view by the wall.
What he saw…was beautiful. That was all he could say. It was an Eden, a small park for the people of the village. A shallow stream wound through the park, clear and clean with a small waterfall where the heights in the stream bed changed. The ground was paved with cobblestones, neat and tidy while larger rocks rested in the stream for people to sit upon. A wooden bridge curved over the water to allow passage from one side to the other while huge blossom and willow trees provided a mass of pink and green colouring.
The park appeared relatively empty, save for a small dark haired boy splashing about in the stream, trying to catch fish with his hands by the looks of it. On closer inspection, he appeared to be about eight or ten years old, wearing only an oversized shirt and a pair of shorts.
Sasuke wondered if he had been wrong, if the chakra he had felt was simply a glitch of some kind. He shook his head, no, no one but Naruto's charka had ever felt like that, ever been so strong. He studied the boy for a moment longer before sighing. Where was the blonde? About to turn away and search elsewhere, a sudden shout from the park caused him to turn back.
“Look! Look Naruto! I caught one! I caught a fish!”
Authors Notes: That was the shortest chapter ever! Damn it! -Sigh- Oh well, yet another cliff hanger, hope you all enjoyed it! Anyway, tell me what you think by reviewing! I can't stress that enough, Lol.
