Chapter Three
It has been three days since Sasukes encounter with Naruto and not a moment had gone by that he did not think about him.
When he had gotten home Kakashi had of course inquired about where he had gone as well as why his clothes were soaked, or as soaked as they remained by the time he had gotten back. He hand spent the next day with a small cold, it got him away from having to deal with anyone so he didn’t mind it so much. Unfortunately he couldn’t fully enjoy the peace because all he could think about was Naruto.
Sasuke just couldn’t get him out of his head he thought of him every moment he was awake and dreamed of him when he was asleep. He even caught himself daydreaming about the blond on more than one occasion.
He knew that the fight had been a stupid one but he just couldn’t afford to let anyone get in close to him. Why bother dwelling on it. I’ll probably never see him again. Though that valley may be a usual spot he frequents. Ugh, just stop thinking about him dammit.
Now he was sitting in his study reading documents and avoiding human contact as he always did. He had heard Kakashi usher out the girls already, much earlier than he usually did. So he wasn’t surprised when Kakashi cam up to talk to him. He was surprised how ever that he had chosen not only to use the door but to actually knock first.
“Come on in Kakashi, it must be important for you to actually knock for a change.”
“Sasuke, you remember my friend who works for the ministry of defense?”
“The one with brown hair who keeps turning you down?” Sasuke frowned slightly. “Yea I remember, he’s the one who informs us about any information found on Itachi.”
“Well he’s just showed up. Apparently they’ve been working on uncovering a cave-in of a known criminal hideout that was destroyed during the war. At the center of it they found remains of several individuals, though only a few were capable of being Identified.” Kakashi walked up and placed a small bag on the desk. “This was found on one of them.”
Slowly sasuke leaned forward and took the bag and emptied it on the desk. With shaking fingers he picked up one item, a necklace. The chain was made from black iron and the charm was an onyx raven with ruby eyes. It was Itachi’s, the one thing that Itachi truly ever cherished.
“Itachi’s necklace.” Sasuke jerked his head up to look at Kakashi “You telling me that... they found... he’s dead.”
“According to Iruka the remains were so deteriorated that a hundred percent identification was impossible but the clothes and hair added with the necklace gave them enough to declare that it was Itachi that they found.”
“Not a hundre...”
“Don’t!” Kakashi interrupted him angrily. “Don’t start doubting this. Don’t keep living in the past. You can finally start living so don’t force yourself to spend the rest of your life in misery. Live Sasuke, otherwise Itachi still wins in the end.”
With that said Kakashi walked out of the room, firmly closing the door behind and leaving Sasuke to his thoughts.
Is it really over, just like that?

Three hours later found Sasuke still in his study staring up at the ceiling lost in his thought. When a knock came at the door Sasuke was startled back into reality. “Come in.”
He blinked in surprise at seeing Neji standing in the doorway. “Neji! When did you get here.”
“About half an hour ago.” Neji said as he made his way over to a chair to the side of Sasukes desk. “Kakasi’s been getting us set up in our rooms. He... told us about Itachi. How are you doing?”
“Im not sure. I feel numb. All I can think is ‘Is it really over.’ It just feels so, unresolved. Like there should have been this big confrontation first.” With a frustrated groan he leaned back in the chair and rubbed at his eyes. “And it’s not that im upset that I wasn’t the one that killed him. It’s just... A cave in!? It feels almost idiotic to think that that would be his cause of death.”
“I have to admit you have a point there Sasuke. From what I’ve heard about him it does feel idiotic the he would die that way.” Neji said leaning forward in the chair and resting his elbows on his knees. “But it is. Accept that and live. Start by making a friend who doesn’t live in the middle of the desert and can afford to see you more than two times a year.”
“How is life in the desert treating you?” Sasuke asked with a smirk as he looked over at him.
“Well im always hot. It’s severely damaging my hair. I feel like im always thirsty. And about a month ago I got a sunburn so bad I spent a day soaking in ice water to try and ease the pain, it didn’t work. Aside from all that I’m doing just dandy.”
“Heh, you sound miserable.”
“It’s all my family would give me of my inheritance since they still don’t accept me as an actual heir to the family name, but want to make a good show for the world since I am a war hero. I think they only gave me the desert town in hopes I’d get lost and die.”
“Well I wouldn’t put it past your uncle to do something like that.” Sasuke turned his head to look out the window. “It’s getting late. I think I’ll go to sleep, I’ve had a lot to think about today.”
He asked Neji to give the others his regards as he headed into his room. As he laid down upon the bed and pulled the sheets up an image of a blond haired dobe flashed through his mind. Perhaps I should try and apologize to Naruto. Chances are he hangs out in that valley often.
~*~
The next morning Sasuke awoke early and headed out into the forest intent on finding Naruto and making things right. It didn’t take him long to find the valley and make his way down towards the rock he had used that day. When he stopped he looked up in the tree to find brilliant blue eyes glaring down at him.
“What the hell are you doing back here teme?” Naruto asked as he crossed his arms and leaned forward on the branch.
“I wanted to apologize about the other day. It’s just, I’ve been pushing people away for years now. Not letting anyone get close, and... well recent events got me thinking and I don’t want to spend my life alone. So I would like to try over again and see if we can be friends.”
Naruto lightly bit his lip as he thought over Sasuke’s words. “Ok, I’ll forgive you. Only cause your so pathetic you need to go searching a forest for friends.” He grinned down at Sasuke, that bright toothy grin. “I bet that apology was just killing you.”
Naruto started to laugh when he shifted wrong and fell from the branch with a startled yelp, and landed on Sasuke.
Sasuke groaned as the breath was knocked out of him. “Well... at least you didn’t get me wet this time, dobe.”
