As the last Uchiha poked indolently in the dirt with a stick he wracked his brain for any word or deed from him that had caused all these changes in his lover.
He knew Naruto was insecure. Both of their lives were living examples of the phrase that began with the words, "All good things..." But while he'd never felt more optimistic about his future than when Naruto agreed to be with him, maybe Naruto was feeling the pressure of impending doom.
Suddenly he had an idea. If Naruto needed reassurance, perhaps he could provide it in a concrete way. As far as he knew, what he had in mind had never occurred in Konoha, but he didn't think there were any actual laws against it. And knowing the Godaime and her affection for the other ninja, she might be able to clear any obstacles in their path if it would fix the seventeen year old.
Galvanized and unwilling to wait another second, he jumped up and tore through the house looking for Naruto. Several minutes later, he found him sitting on the roof, staring sullenly out toward Hokage Mountain.
"Naruto, come with me." Naruto stood and brushed off his pants.
"What's up? Trouble?"
Sasuke didn't answer, just popped them both in the living room. "Sit down."
"What's going on?"
Sasuke sat close and took both Naruto's hands in his. "I want to talk to you about something important." He could see a vein in the tan neck start to throb.
"Naruto, I've been thinking about marriage."
Naruto's eyes closed. With a sigh he pulled Sasuke into his arms. "Sasuke…"
The relief the dark eyed warrior felt made him lightheaded. Naruto pulled back and pressed their foreheads together.
"I want you to know that your happiness is the single most important thing in the world to me. I also want you to know that I'll always love you and it will be okay."
Sasuke stroked the other's cheek.
Naruto pulled back.
"Will you tell me who?"
"Who what?"
"Who you plan to marry, silly."
Sasuke just stared for several seconds, then threw the Naruto's hands out of his grasp and jumped to his feet.
"You've got to be kidding me!" He deflated just as quickly and sank to his knees at Naruto’s feet, anguish ripping through him. "Tell me you're kidding, please."
Naruto just stared at him.
"Naruto." The brunette looked earnestly into wary golden eyes. "I want to marry you. I want to marry you, if the Hokage and council will let us. I want us to be together always. Until death."
Something scary crossed Naruto's face. His eyes morphed in a whirl back and forth between horizontal and vertical, between gold and blue. His skin reddened and veins popped out on his neck and temples. Then he fell back onto the couch, grabbed his hair with both hands and started screaming.
He was pulling on his hair hard and arching his back, screaming at the ceiling. "Can't…aagh…take…"
"Naruto!" Sasuke grabbed the other male and tried to pull him into his arms. "Stop..."
Before he finished his sentence, he found himself holding nothing. Naruto had disappeared.
Panic like he'd never felt flooded his system. He flung his senses as far as he could to locate Naruto's chakra. The madly fluctuating power of the boy and the demon were easy to locate. Sasuke transported himself to the blond's location in the forest outside the gates.
And was frozen in shock.
Naruto was covered in blood. He had kunai in each hand and was ravaging his body with them.
Sasuke was momentarily unable to move as he watched the demon vessel slash at his own throat, only to have the wound begin to heal over immediately. He stabbed into his torso and swiped at his forearms. All the while he howled in frustration, and growled like a cornered animal.
"Naruto!" Sasuke recovered his ability to move and threw himself at the deranged teen. He grabbed the weapons and snatched them out of blood soaked hands.
"Sasuke, I'm trying. He won't let me do it." Then his eyes lit. He reached into his scabbard and pulled out his blade. "Maybe you can do it." He made a slicing motion at his neck and turned hopeful eyes up. "If you get my head all the way off I don't think he..."
Sasuke screeched. He grabbed the blade and threw it as far as he could with one arm.
"Stop it! Stop it! What's wrong? Please tell me what's wrong." He was shouting and trying to pin Naruto to the ground, but the other ninja was struggling to pull more weapons out of his pouch.
Then Neji was at their side.
"Help me! Help me hold him down." The Hyuuga joined the struggle, pressing the determined body into the earth.
Naruto had a shuriken in his hand and was muttering, "Seppuku, hara-kiri." He stabbed into his upper abdomen and had a three-inch cut before Neji pinned that hand over the blond's head.
Neji placed two fingers on several spots on the writhing body to immobilize his limbs.
Sasuke slumped over the bloody form, his entire body shaking uncontrollably. "Thank you," he panted.
"Today could be the day. Help me and you can be free." Naruto’s voice was pleading.
Neji turned Naruto's head, pinning him with his eyes. "Explain."
"He'll love me until the day I die. Today can be that day and then he can be free. Happy." The look on Naruto’s face was demented.
Neji turned to Sasuke who was whispering, a look of shock on his face, "I don't understand. I don't understand."
"He looks terrible. What is wrong with him?"
"Tsunade thought it might be the cuffs, so she took them off." He looked at the blond's blood coating his hands. "Thank gods she did."
"Kyuubi, then." Sasuke didn't answer, still staring at the blood on his left hand, his right stroking Naruto's hair while the blond muttered 'help me' over and over.
"Uchiha!" Sasuke finally looked up. "The Sharingan has influence over the demon. I can go in and help you if you will cooperate.”
Sasuke straightened. "Yes.” His eyes narrowed and his jaw clenched. "I'll fix that fucking demon."
When Neji arrived in the space that was Naruto's mind, he found Sasuke's ethereal form on his knees, hands over his ears. The noise in the blond's mind was deafening; a din of whispers and shouts, all in Sasuke’s voice, all saying the same thing, "I'll love you till the day you die."
He covered his ears as well, and that was when he noticed that Sasuke's eyes were riveted on something before him. As he looked, he realized Naruto's memories were playing out before them, whirling about at dizzying speeds.
Naruto was watching Sasuke as the brunette watched Neji and Sai, both shirtless, spar. The look on Sasuke's face was intense.
"You're right, Naruto. That is the perfect body type, isn't it?"

Naruto was about six, squatting in an alley, a rock in each hand. He was making fighting noises and banging them together. Immersed in his imaginary battle, his delight was clear on his tiny whiskered face.
Suddenly a side door opened and a burly man came out carrying a sack of trash. He looked like he is going to ignore Naruto, but then his eyes narrowed.
"Hey, you. You fucking demon brat. Those are my rocks." He kicked Naruto and snatched the rocks up.
"You little thief. Stealing people's rocks. Their families." He aimed another kick at Naruto. “Their brothers... Get the fuck out of here and never let me see you touching my stuff again."

Naruto cried. His heart was absolutely broken. Sasuke, his Sasuke, was dead.
Sasuke shouldn't be dead. Sasuke was perfect. Everybody loved him. The world would be so empty without him. The whole universe would grieve and cry. The sun would probably stop shining.
It should have been him. Most people would be happy if he died. There would probably be parades and cheering.
And if anyone learned that beautiful Sasuke died for him...well, they would probably kill him.
And he'd be glad. Life with no Sasuke...it was too lonely to think about.
How dare the enemy take Sasuke from the world, from him? Rage filled him and then something else. Something hot. And cold. And glorious.
The universe that seemed so vast and incomprehensible suddenly seemed smaller and not so complex. In fact, it seemed within his power to manipulate the earth and the very heavens.
And this pathetic spec before him, the one called Haku, who was too small and insignificant to deserve a name, would be crushed by a mere thought.
He took in his surroundings, at the beings called humans and found them beyond consideration.
Except this one, this Sasuke.

I don't know how I'm going to restore the family name. I was on my way, working so hard to try to bring honor again, but now that Itachi's dead... I can't kill him and if he had any secrets that would fix this, they've died with him."
"But you said you had some ideas..."
"There's nothing. I have no idea where to start. It's over."

With the vast nothingness behind him, Naruto stared at the wall of white light before him. He took a step forward.
"Wait. Do you know what that is?"
"Uhm, death I guess," Naruto answered the disembodied voice that he knew belonged to Kyuubi.
"Yes. And yet you walk toward it?"
Naruto thought a moment and shrugged.
"Most mortals cling to life."
"Why do they do that?" Naruto scratched his cheek.
"You're asking me?"
Naruto laughed and looked around at the infinite void around them. "Ain't nobody else here."
"Hm. You are a brat."
Naruto rubbed the back of his neck and grinned.
"Bonds, I supposed."
"Huh?" Naruto frowned in confusion.
"Mortals. They live for their bonds."
Naruto's face fell and he looked back at the light. "Maybe that's why Sasuke's leaving. He doesn't have bonds anymore. Maybe if you don't have bonds, it’s better to go."
"Perhaps you just don't have yours yet. By human standards you are still a child."
"I had one. Nobody else wants one with me and now Sasuke's broken ours. He hates me, too."
"Perhaps. I can't speak for him. But what about us?"
"Us?"
"Yes. We have a bond, you and I."
Naruto blinked. "You're just a voice in my head." He snickered. "And a pain in my ass."
"Both very real human experiences, are they not?"
"Hey! You just don't want me to kill you, too!"
"Certainly. And since we have a bond, you don't want to kill me, do you?"
Naruto looked uncertain. "You did bad things and people are afraid of you getting out again. I think I'm going to have to kill us someday."
"Perhaps. But now? Today? Let us discuss this when you are feeling better, shall we?"
Naruto looked wistfully at the light. "I don't know. Now that Sasuke's gone..."
"He's gone to someone who will steal his body and soul. Are you going to give up on him so easily when he needs someone to make him see reason now more than ever?"
"NO!" Naruto shouted. "I'll never give up on him. I'll never stop protecting..." He stopped and sighed. "Okay. Let's go, you stupid furball. But I ain't doing this for you."

Naruto sat at the table in the fine restaurant and kept looking back and forth between his laughing friends and the bewildering array of dining ware in front of him. Every time he looked there seemed to be more utensils and glassware.
As everyone else juggled his or her flatware with ease, his anxiety increased until his stomach churned and he couldn't eat if he tried. Then he looked at Sasuke, who smiled lovingly and squeezed his hand.
"It's fine. I know this is embarrassing. Why don't you just go ahead and leave. I'll be home later. I'll bring you a doggie bag."

Young Naruto dropped a drunken Jiraiya onto a tattered sofa. The boy had several weapons sticking out of his back. He managed to reach and pull out all but one that was in a spot that he couldn't reach from the bottom or the top. Bubbling blood was spurting from his nose and mouth giving evidence that the kunai was in a lung.
"Didn’t you think I had the winning hand, Naruto?"
"Yes, sensei." Naruto had a coat hanger hooked through the handle of the kunai, but every time he pulled, it just cocked the weapon, causing more damage.
"Such a good boy. Just like a son." Jiraiya's eyes where unfocused as he watched the boy grit his teeth and slam backwards into the closet door, shoving the kunai all the way through.
Just before Naruto lost consciousness, he pulled the weapon, slippery with his own blood out through his chest.
“Just like a son.”

A very small Naruto hid behind a tree and quivered with longing as he watched the scene on the playground. Two pale skinned, dark haired boys were darting around each other, the older one smiling at the intense look on the younger boy's face.
"Don't distribute your weight so evenly, Sasuke. You have more speed if you don't have to take time to shift your weight to one leg." The younger boy tried again. "Better. You will be the finest shinobi in Konoha some day."
Little Sasuke stopped and threw himself at his older brother, wrapping his arms around his neck. "Itachi, you are my favorite brother."
Itachi laughed and poked the youngster in the forehead. "Your favorite? Out of all your brothers?"
Sasuke blushed and buried his head in his ni-san's thin shoulder.

"You're making a big deal out of nothing. It's still you, just that now you look like Hinata. The important thing is that I know the difference."
Sasuke had Naruto's much smaller form against the bedroom wall, thrusting slowly. "It's just that you're so damn big. I could never do this with you as you are." He squeezed the large pale breasts.
"Anyway, you're acting like a woman. Stop it."

"I love you, Itachi." "I love you too, Sasuke."
Naruto watched as two brothers stood in a hospital hallway and tried to kill each other.

Sasuke clutched his head until he regained his real world orientation, then faced Neji across Naruto's body.
"What's wrong with him? What the hell was all that?"
Neji said nothing, just studied him.
"Wait a minute. Those things never happened. Well, some of it did and I don't know about the things with Jiraiya and the villagers, but, I never..."
Sasuke paused and narrowed his eyes.
"Look, Hyuuga, I don't give a fuck what you think. Just help me get him to Tsunade."
