OH MY FREAKIN GOD another update four updates in four days after months of absence *stares at screen in wonder*
Aw man shucks you guys are so wonderful now I’m blushing like crazy. I can never express how wonderful it feels reading all you reviews and knowing you like my story so much. At the same time though I get scared to put up the next chapter in case you don’t like it really I’m just waiting for the day until some just tells me my story sucks because I can’t believe how many positive reviews I’m getting. :D
Okay so there’s going to be a massive twist in the story hopefully y’all like it. I had planned it from the very begging but numerous times I wondered about changing it because of some of you reviews but decided to keep to the original plot. I’m praying you’ll like it so please don’t chew me out if you don’t. Stuff might confuse you but ask if you don’t understand and I’ll reply unless it’s going to be revealed in the story. xD

Chapter Ten
The truth comes out
Naruto didn’t know how long he just sat there the book had fallen out of his hands newspaper clippings strewn around him. His body was completely numbed unable to comprehend.
No, no it couldn’t be true.
“It can’t be” he whispered. Tears trickled down his face but Naruto was too far gone to notice them.
Some one, some one was calling out his name. He could feel warmth on his cheeks but he couldn’t see anything.
All he could see was the picture and the writing beside it.
“Naruto. Naruto listen to me” words managed to break through the fog that clouded Naruto’s mind. He suddenly found himself staring into deep coal black eyes.
He was lost he wanted Sasuke to tell him it wasn’t true it wasn’t real but seeing the guilt and pain marring Sasuke’s face he knew it was true.
“It’s me” his voice was raspy and broken as if he hadn’t used it in such a long time. “It’s me” he said his voice stronger now as the shock slowly wore off.
Memories attacked his head, memories he didn’t want to remember.
He could feel it the burning heat running down his body lapping at his skin.
“It’s me. It’s me” he kept repeated that not realizing he was shouted he could vaguely hear Sasuke saying something but his mind was too filled with memories each attacking and destroying what precious little Naruto still had.
“No No No” he cried tears pouring down his face. Everything was being torn apart it couldn’t be. He couldn’t accept it.
Arms grabbed him but Naruto pushed him off he couldn’t take it couldn’t deal with it fleeing to his room he prayed he could just wake up and this never happened.
For lying on the floor seemingly harmless was a newspaper clipping with a picture of a young man smiling brightly. Beside was the words Uzumaki Naruto aged 24 committed suicide by setting his house on fire.
.....
Naruto didn’t know how long he was inside his room for. Sasuke had banged at his door but Naruto refused to let him in.
His head was being filled with memories. Memories of his past and of other things. Things he couldn’t remember doing.
He could recall it now the windows. Opening each of them; why, he had no idea just that he needed to.
And then the people.
So many people. He spoke to them but they screamed running away from him. He never understood why they were trespassing in his home, or so he thought. But they weren’t, he didn’t have a home anymore. He shouldn’t be there.
It wasn’t Sasuke. Sasuke wasn’t the one who was dead it was him.
It was him.
Him.
Unable to hold it in anymore Naruto let out and anguish cry, or all the pain and the happiness he never was able to have.
“Why.? Why dammit” he screamed his throat hoarse from all the crying “It’s not fair. It’s not. Why this why now? I was happy. So fucking happy” no one answered him no one could give him the answers he needed and no one could stop the cruel pain that was ripping his heart in two.
His body slumped to the ground. He just lay there eyes dead tears no longer able to fall.
It hurt.
Everything hurt.
So many questions and no answers.
He could hear the banging once again as Sasuke called out his name wanting to explain. But what was there to explain. Naruto was dead. A member of the freakin supernatural. And Sasuke was not. A chocked sob made its way out of Naruto’s voice as a fresh batch of tears threatened to fall.
It was rather funny, his mind returning back to the first ay he had met Sasuke. Sasuke had told him the house belonged to him but Naruto didn’t believe him. Instead he’d spent all this time accusing Sasuke of being ghost but in the end it turned out it was him. Well it explained why Sasuke was able to drink coffee. A humourless chuckle escaped from his mouth.
Pausing his mind blinked, wait, Naruto had eaten ramen he knew he did Sasuke was right beside him. Confusion began clouding his mind he didn’t understand how was that possible.
Getting up he threw the door open Sasuke was still standing outside Naruto could see the relief flood his features.
“Naruto I-”
“Explain” Naruto cut him off. He knew he was being unfair it wasn’t Sasuke’s fault he shouldn’t have been angry at him but he didn’t care he was just so angry, confused and most of all scared.
He felt betrayed Sasuke didn’t tell. Sasuke let him continue with lie.
“Can I come in” Naruto walked forward exiting the room he hear Sasuke following him. Climbing down the stair he walked towards the living room.
He couldn’t have that conversation in his bedroom not so soon after-
Naruto held back another sob not wanting to dwell on those particular memories. Settling down on the sofa Naruto waited for Sasuke to start.
There was a few moments of silence before Sasuke started talking Naruto did not look at him he didn’t know what he would do if did so.
“Ten years ago there was a house fire, although the house was managed to be saved there was one casualty” he could hear Sasuke’s voice crack slightly but he paid no mind to it waiting for him to continue. “The owner of the house at that time had been in the living room when the roof collapsed on him killing him instantly. Based on all the evidence the authorities ruled it as suicide.”
Naruto swallowed digesting the information. He could remember lying there, right in front of where he was sitting. The fire and the thick stench of smoke as it was wrapping itself around him suffocating him.
“The house was eventually rebuilt. It was three years later a small family moved in.” Naruto could remember them they were an odd bunch; there was a man with bowel cut hair and overly large eyes, wearing green spandex all the time. He had two children a son and a daughter. His son was an exact carbon copy of him and his daughter seemed to have an obsession for Chinese style clothing. He could see it now, how he would open the windows of every room. How the young girl would wake up sacred and her brother swearing to protect her.
And then he was talking to her, asking her why she was in his house. But she screamed. He never knew why, they always screamed but pretty soon that family was gone, and another replaced them, but it was all the same. It happened every time.
“How?”
Sasuke paused in what he was saying. “There are different types of ghost different levels. Certain people when they have such strong attachment left in the living world they form what is like a split personality. They repeat a certain period of time in their life usually the events that occurred towards the end. Because of the strength of their emotions they trap themselves in a time loop returning everything to being like it was when they were alive including the house. Their personality is more or less split into conscious and an unconscious state. The conscious state resumes living life as it was when yo- they were still alive. Whilst the unconscious state-”
“-Acts like a ghost” Naruto finished
They sat in silence for a few minutes Naruto trying to get his head around everything. It was confusing and made absolutely no sense but he knew Sasuke spoke the truth he could feel it, hell he could remember it.
“Why-?” he didn’t need to finish his question Sasuke already understood.
“My family come from along line of exorcist. We were asked...” Sasuke had trailed off but he knew what Sasuke was meant to say. He was sent there to exorcise Naruto send him to the afterlife.
Unable to help himself Naruto burst out laughing. Clutching his stomach tear poured out of his eyes as he was hit with a fit of laughter. Pretty soon he could hear Sasuke’s chuckling joining his and just like that the tense atmosphere had been broken.
After a few minutes of laughing both men calmed down as the mood once again turned sombre.
“Naruto-”
“Don’t. Just don’t Sasuke” Naruto had placed his finger on Sasuke’s lip stopping him, looking into his eyes he could see the pain but he didn’t know what to do. Things were different now it was no longer the same, and now they had to think about what to do.
Standing up Naruto exited the room.
.....
So there you got it it’s not Sasuke but Naruto whose the ghost hands up honestly who guessed that and no lying.
Please review.
