Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ It's Already Over ❯ Crash ( Chapter 12 )

 

 

Don't own Naruto, why do I say this every time?

 

 

Crash

 

 

Chest heaving, the raven breathed deeply as he stared at his opponent. Sweat glistened on his muscular torso but Sasuke did not care. He had to train, had to become stronger, stronger to avenge his parents and kill the man who had ruined his life. His fists clenched and shook with fury at the thought of his brother.

 

Itachi…

 

Whipping around in anger, he thrust his fist against the wall, hearing the crack of the wall as it crumbled slightly under the intense pressure. His head snapped up as the sound of the door opening reached his ears. Feeling the anger and annoyance swelling inside of him, Sasuke reached into his holster strapped onto his right leg and took out a blade. As he turned around, he let loose the knife, allowing it to embed itself next to the man's head. The man flinched as he felt the blade nick the side of his face, leaving a line of blood there.

 

Swallowing, the man said levelly, “It's time, we have to go now.”

 

Sasuke grunted in acknowledgement and waved at the man to leave. Grabbing a short sleeve shirt, he slipped it on without buttoning it up and slipped on his combat boots. Stopping at the door, he wrenched the blade out, cracking the wall in the process. Eyes narrowing in displeasure, he stalked over to his car and got in.

 

Glancing into the rear mirror, the Uchiha could see his four “companions” also getting into their car. Snorting in disgust, Sasuke turned the key to ignite the car engine.

 

The Sound Four, the elite bodyguards of Orochimaru…Tch, weaklings.

 

Slamming his foot onto the gas, the car shot forward as the Sound Four followed his lead. Sasuke's brows furrowed as he thought of his task. Finally, he could put his skills to the test. He could see if he had what it took to bring down his brother. Turning on the music player, he cranked up the volume, allowing the music to wash over him. As the music flowed out, Sasuke could not help but sing along with his latest hit, Crash, from his newest album, Sound.

 

Feel the pressure let it go

Feel the pressure let it go

 

You try to buy some time

Can't read the signs or the reasons why

Every single time I could drive in blind

Can't make up my mind

I know I'm gonna find my way out

 

Sasuke turned around the corner and entered into downtown.

 

Crash you're going down without a sound

And I'll pass you up before I explode

Breaking until I'll see it through

You won't keep me down when I crash through you

 

So here we are right now

This is our time to cross this line

Every single time I could drive in blind

Can't make up my mind

I know I'm gonna find my way out

 

Itachi…

 

I'm going to kill you…

Sakura laughed as she watched Naruto slurp up his ramen. A piece of ramen was sticking out of his mouth and his cheeks were bulging as the blonde stuffed ramen into his mouth. Sakura's eyes softened. Naruto was adorable really. Although he was clueless and quite dim most of the time, the blonde was actually a very caring and determined person.

 

Naruto placed his bowl onto the table. Grinning, he gestured at the door.

 

“Why don't you wait for me outside while I pay? It's getting quite crowded here.”

 

Sakura smiled at him. “Sure, don't take too long.”

 

Naruto took out his frog purse and yelled across the counter. “Hey, old man! How much is it?”

 

Sakura shook her head. Naruto may have matured physically, but he would still be a little kid at heart. Running a hand through her hair, she slid open the door and stepped out into the night.

 

A muffled thump sounded from the alley on her left. Sakura could hear stifled voices echoing and repeated thumps coming from the same direction as well. Glancing nervously at Naruto, she could see that he was still arguing with Teuchi about the price.

 

Sakura rolled her eyes at Naruto's antics but her breath hitched in her throat as a cry of pain reached her ears. Taking a step towards the alley, she nearly screamed as a hand clamped onto her shoulder. Whipping around, she saw that it was none other than…Naruto.

 

“Naruto!”

 

The blonde stared at her puzzledly. “Are you okay? You look quite nervous.” His head snapped up as he too heard the cries from the alley. Extending a hand, he caught Sakura by the arm and pushed her gently behind him.

 

“Stay here, behind me, okay?” he whispered.

 

Receiving an affirmative nod, he crept towards the alley.

The 18 year old stiffened as he heard barely concealed footsteps coming towards him. Melting into the shadows, leaving his victim on the ground, he held up his right hand and clenched it into a fist. Then, he spread his fingers and signalled to his right. The other four men nodded once and left the two of them alone as they made their way to the car at the other end of the alley.

 

The footsteps drew closer and a blonde haired boy appeared. Sasuke gritted his teeth in annoyance as he recognized his best friend.

 

Baby blue eyes widened as they saw the pool of blood around the unconscious man. Hurrying forward, he knelt down and checked the man for a pulse and Sasuke could see his shoulder sag in relief as the boy determined that the man was alive. Sasuke tensed as he saw that Naruto had reached for his phone. Deciding that it was a good time to interfere, he moved.

 

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx

 

Naruto gasped as he felt a hand slam onto his arm, causing him to drop his phone. Seconds later, a black boot appeared and crushed his phone, scattering the remnants everywhere.

 

The blonde scrambled backwards, trying to find a place where he could actually see his attacker.

 

“Hey! What are you doing? Get away from me!”

 

Panic was evident in Naruto's voice and he knew it. Struggling to remain calm, he stood up and faced his attacker.

 

“I'm not going to run away like a coward if that's what you're thinking. I'm actually a black belt so bring it if you've got the guts to.” Naruto stated confidently.

 

A sinister laugh erupted from his opponent. Naruto's face darkened.

 

“Hey! Are you mocking me? Hey!”

 

He was only rewarded by another menacing laugh as the person stepped forward.

 

Naruto's eyes rounded as he tried to comprehend the current situation.

 

“S…Sasuke?”

 

The raven laughed once more. “Dobe.”

 

Confusion was written all over the blonde's face. Swallowing hard, he stuttered, “S...Sasuke? Oh my god, Sasuke? I haven't seen you in two years. Where have you been?”

 

The smirk on the raven's face disappeared. Folding his arms, he leaned against the wall casually. “It's none of your business.”

 

Naruto frowned. His voice grew louder and angrier. “What do you mean it's none of my business? Damn it Sasuke, you left without warning us, without telling anyone! You left us behind, abandoned us! We had no idea where you went! Don't you give a damn about us?!”

 

The Uchiha glanced up sharply, eyes flashing dangerously.

 

“No, I don't care.” He bit out bitterly. “What I do with my life is my business. I don't need useless bonds with other people. They just get in the way.” Pushing himself against the wall, he stepped towards Naruto, allowing the light to illuminate his face. “And what do you mean `us'?”

 

A loud gasp sounded behind Naruto. Both males turned towards the source of the noise. Sasuke's frown deepened as he saw that it was…

 

“Sakura.”

 

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx

 

Naruto gestured for the rosette to run away, but she pointedly ignored his warnings. Taking a breath, she said shakily, “Sasuke?”

 

The Uchiha growled. Today was just not his day.

 

Naruto turned back towards Sasuke. Balling up his fists, he said clearly, “I'm not letting you run away again. I don't know what your problem is, but we can solve it together. Come back Sasuke, come back with us.”

 

“No.”

 

Sakura flinched at his harsh, unwavering tone. This was not the Sasuke that she knew, not the Sasuke that she once loved. This was a completely new person. A stranger.

 

Out of the corner of her eye, she could see that Naruto was coiled like a spring, ready to strike if necessary.

 

“Well then, I'll just have to drag your sorry ass back!” Naruto shouted.

 

Sasuke looked at him disinterestedly. Then, in a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Naruto. Bringing up his right arm, he bent it and smashed his elbow into Naruto's chest. The blond crashed onto the ground, skidding along the alley.

 

As he picked himself up painfully, Naruto shifted his right leg behind him. Launching a kick aimed at Sasuke's head, he pressed both hands onto the floor and tried to twist his left leg around as well. However, Sasuke raised his leg and buried it into Naruto's stomach, sending him flying against the wall. Running forward, Sasuke grabbed the blonde by the collar and hauled him against the wall. Tightening his grip, Sasuke hissed.

 

“Don't look for me anymore, I don't need friends. I don't need these bonds. They hinder my progress, restrict my true potential, and take away my freedom! Don't meddle with my affairs, I can handle it, I don't need your help! So stay out of this!”

 

Releasing his grip suddenly, Sasuke turned towards the other end of the alley and started to make his way to his car, leaving the dazed Naruto lying on the floor.

 

He stopped as he heard someone call out.

 

Sakura…

 

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx

 

Sakura ran towards Naruto. Cradling his head on her lap, she glared at the Uchiha.

 

“Sasuke! You're not running away again!”

 

The boy turned towards her. Shadows were thrown across his face, allowing Sakura to see the Uchiha's pectorals and muscular torso clearly. Swallowing to suppress her urges, Sakura stood up slowly, placing Naruto gently onto the ground. Walking slowly towards Sasuke, she pleaded, “Please come back Sasuke, please.”

 

The raven's face was emotionless but Sakura could see the coldness in his onyx eyes.

 

Sasuke could feel his heart jump slightly as he watched the girl walk towards him. Sakura was wearing a sleeveless red top which hugged her body tightly and stopped just above her belly button, allowing him a brilliant view of her curves. Sasuke's eyes wandered lower involuntarily. The black mini skirt showed off her smooth, slender legs and Sasuke could feel his breathing increase slightly. Shaking himself mentally, he steeled himself for the inevitable.

 

“Sasuke…”

 

Looking at the rosette in front of him, Sasuke's heart softened for an instance. But then, his eyes hardened as he saw the pity and worry in Sakura's eyes.

 

Stepping forward menacingly, he watched with satisfaction as the girl looked at him hesitantly. As he took another step forward, Sakura took one backwards. This continued until Sakura found her self cornered against the wall.

 

The Uchiha slammed his left hand against the wall right next to her head. Sakura swallowed nervously and licked her lips.

 

Sasuke could not help but notice the way her cheeks flushed slightly as her breathing increased. He could not help but notice the way her breath was caressing his cheek and more importantly, the way his body was pressed against her. Sasuke could feel his self control slowly slip through his fingers. He had to stop this now or else he would never be able to beat Itachi.

 

Grimacing, his right hand clenched into a fist. Raising it, he brought it down.

 

Sakura's eyes widened as Sasuke's fist descended towards her face.
