Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Things Change ❯ The begining of the End ( Chapter 12 )

The beginning of the End

 

A/N: I just got home from my vacation and as I promised I did finish this chapter. I tried to make it as long as I could but if it doesn't come out long enough, there's long chapters on there way.

 

Naruto couldn't sleep much. He tossed and turned, but in the end he just gave up and kept watch on Sasuke.

 

It was about 4:28 when Sasuke finally woke up and stared his journey.

 

`This may be difficult.' Naruto thought.

Dream

“Naruto! Naruto no!!”

 

“NOOO!!!” Sasuke bolted up from his pillow; covered in sweat.

He panted like crazy, his chest heaving up and down.

“I have to get a hold of myself.”

 

 

He pulled himself out of bed and trudged to the bathroom.

He studied himself in the mirror.

His hair was messy and out of place from sleep. Light bags under his eyes. His skin seemed paler then usual.

 

“Naruto.”

 

Elsewhere (RW)

 

 

“Do you believe he can do it? I mean; he's done it before, but with what's riding on his back, do you really believe he can give such a sacrifice?”

 

 

“Are you starting to doubt your pupil Kakashi?”

 

 

Kakashi met Tyrin in the forest half an hour ago and she still wouldn't give him any clue on what was going on.

 

“Naruto is self less; yes; he cares about his friends more then he does himself; defiantly.

But I don't think he's willing to let everything go.”

 

 

Tyrin studied him for a moment.

“You forget Kakashi; he already has.

 

Sasuke was laying on his couch in a daze.

 

 

`I'm sorry Sasuke…but I will save you….'

Naruto was bleeding and nearing death. Sasuke's arm was supporting his head.

 

 

`Naruto; please; don't leave me, not like this-`

 

Naruto used the last of his strength to pull Sasuke's head to him.

Their lips connected. Sasuke's eyes widened.

 

 

 

Naruto pulled away with a sad smile.

 

 

`Don't die…teme.'

 

KNOCK! KNOCK!

“Sasuke?! Are you there?”

 

 

Sakura's voice pulled Sasuke out of his daydream.

He stiffly stood and walked to the door.

 

He opened to door and stood waiting expectedly.

For the past 4 days Sakura has been checking on him and bringing him food.

 

`It's like everyone's waiting for me to go insane.” He thought bitterly.

 

Sakura shoved to bento box at him.

“Are you feeling okay?” she asked meekly.

 

 

“For the fifth time; I'm fine Sakura.”

 

 

She nodded her head.

“Right; well if you need anything you know where to find me…I'll see you later okay?”

 

 

With that said she jogged away.

 

 

Sasuke watch her retreating form until it disappeared.

He then looked done at the bento box and thought a moment about eating it.

 

 

 

Tyrin; you should have told him these things. It always seems he walks into things blindly. Why would you keep this from him?”

 

 

“His ending would be the same. His feelings will always land him with the same choice. It's merely a test; a test to try out the strength of his heart. How much will he sacrifice; how far will he go?”

 

“He will give anything and everything. And he would sink to the bottom of Hell. You know this!”

 

Kakashi replied through clenched teeth.

 

 

“Yes; I do. He has proven it to me. And now I tell you; he will not have to same end. I feel it; Sasuke knows what happened to Naruto before; he knows his destiny.

 

“Now; with that in mind; do you really believe he will simply let Naruto go?”

 

 

Tyrin raised her eyebrows and smiled gently.

 

 

“Just let them fight their own battles; Kakashi.”

 

 

 

And she was gone….

 

 

 

“Yes; he will put a stop to it all.”

 

“I feel that; but we can't make it that easy. We have to test them.”

 

The shadowed figure smiled.

 

“This from the man who hates his job. You sure are in good spirit.” His voice came smoothly.

 

 

 

“I'm just saying they need to be tested. I mean; that's what Tyrins's job description entailed.” Said the taller figure.

 

 

“Your point?”

 

 

(AW)

 

 

Naruto had been tailing Sasuke all morning.

 

 

`I had no idea Sound was this far!' the blonde thought tiredly.

 

 

What surprised Naruto the most was that the `almighty `Uchiha Sasuke had yet to sense his presence.

 

 

 

“I thought tailing him would actually be difficult.”

 

But the surprise came when Naruto looked back towards Sasuke; and he wasn't there.

 

 

 

“Looking for me dobe?” came a mocking tone.

 

 

`Damn!'

 

 

 

“Well, there's no doubt Sasuke will use their bond to reach Naruto and the other world. We have that figured out.”

Stated the shorter figure.

 

 

“Yes; Sasuke has proven strong so far, but where will younger Sasuke's heart take him? He can't rely on Naruto to keep him in check.” The taller figure said with an aloof tone.

 

 

 

 

“Well, we'll figure this out. I mean there is a reason Tyrin assigned us this task.”

 

The shorter figure moved towards to moon light; his blonde hair and blue eyes shimmering; his companion following him; watching his moves intently with his black eyes.

 

 

“I mean; who better then us!”

 

 

 

A/N: Wow this took a while to write. I hope I didn't confuse you with these new characters. They will be explained in the following chapters.
