Chapter Three: Broken
“Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever.”
-Unknown-The harsh ring of an alarm clock sounded off the walls of the small room. It was still dark; obviously early morning. Everything seemed to still be asleep in the world except for the faint chirping of birds that could be heard outside.
Naruto groaned at the irritating sound of the clock. It was way too early for such a racket. Then again, he was never a morning person to begin with.In the past, it had always taken his mother’s insistent yells and threats to get him up in the morning. Now, though, he had no one to gripe at him to get up, and no one to care enough to force him out of bed.It was then in the comfort of his blankets and the knowledge that he was alone, that he allowed the silent tears to flow.Not once since his mother had disowned him had he cried. In some part of his mind, he had hoped that she would be there the next time he opened his eyes, or that she would come back to him with her arms held wide opened in a welcoming hug.Naruto knew now that it would never be the same, and with that knowledge came the pain he had been trying to suppress for so long.In a way, it felt good to let the tears fall and let his emotions run free. It was him breaking down for the first time, and it felt so good not to have to put on a happy front.He would, for this morning only, let his sorrow out so that never again would he have to look back on his life and feel the emptiness again. For Naruto, this was the final step before he could put his past behind him, and along with it his humanity.Sakura was in the kitchen making her breakfast when Naruto finally came downstairs. He was clean from his shower and fully dressed in the school’s uniform. The black slacks and light blue button up shirt flattered his frame.
The uniforms also consisted of a black blazer, but they were not required to wear it since it was usually only worn during winter. Today, though, promised a perfect autumn day.The girl’s uniform was similar with a black skirt, light blue blouse, and a black fitted jacket for the colder weather.“Good morning, Naruto!” Sakura greeted as she made her way to the table with a bowl of some colorful cereal. With her sat a girl he had not yet met. She looked at him when Sakura addressed him but quickly looked away, blushing.She was rather pretty, Naruto thought, with her long ebony locks, but he wasn’t interested. He saw the glass sitting next to her, filled with the ominous red liquid. She was a vampire and he really didn’t care to get involved with her.“Good morning, Sakura.” Naruto replied with a smile, once the strawberry blond had sat down.“I hope you slept well.”“Heh, yeah, more or less... it was just strange sleeping in a new place, ya know?”Sakura nodded in understanding. She always had a hard time adjusting when she came back after the holidays. It was mostly because she missed her family and her dog.“I know how it is. But don’t worry, the Christmas holidays are coming up in a few months so you will be able to go back home to your family.” Sadly, she did not know that her comforting words had the exact opposite effect on Naruto.He had no family to go back to, but he had already promised himself to forget about it. So, mustering up the strength, he forced a large smile on his face.“Yeah, you’re right Sakura. I will be back home before I know it.”“Well, then, I suggest you come and get some breakfast so we can get this day done and over with.” Despite not being hungry – food just didn’t appeal to him anymore – Naruto got a bowl of cereal as well and sat down. He knew what he wanted, but he was not going to give into that need. Naruto just could not accept the fact that he now needed blood to survive.He sat there poking his cereal, nibbling on it from time to time.“So Naruto, I don’t think you have met Hinata yet.” She pointed at the black haired girl from before. It was strange how Naruto had forgotten all about her. She was just so quiet, and if Naruto was not mistaken, very shy as well.“Naruto... Hinata, Hinata... Naruto.” Sakura made the introduction and waited for the two to start talking. Unfortunately, both stayed rather quiet. Naruto seemed to be waiting for Hinata to say something, but she did not seem willing.Finally though, when Sakura thought it would go on forever, Naruto finally spoke.“Its very nice to meet you Hinata.” He gave her a dazzling smile that had her blushing in seconds.“It’s... v-very nice to... meet you...t-too.” She stuttered in a little more than a whisper.Naruto just kept on smiling; he had to admit that the girl was rather cute... in a weird shy way. He reminded her of a friend he used to have. She was always soft spoken but hell if you made her mad, then you’d better be running for your life.That girl had a mean streak a mile long. Naruto snickered at the fond memory. It was simple but it seemed to lift his bad mood and soon enough he was smiling a true smile.“What is it Naruto? What’s so funny?” Naruto shook his head.“It’s nothing Sakura. I was just thinking.”The rest of breakfast was then eaten in a comfortable silence. It was a good start to the day. Maybe this life would not be so bad after all. Naruto hoped that he might find that little bit of heaven in this hell he had been forced into.Then again, that thought didn’t last long when Sakura stood, stating that they had fifteen minutes to get to class. Who was he kidding, as long as school existed, hell would always prevail.“I’ll be there in a minute. I have to grab my stuff. I forgot to get it together last night, so don’t wait up for me.” He explained it all in a hurry as he ran up the stairs leaving Sakura frowning by the door.“That boy, I swear...” Sakura just shook her head as Hinata let out a small giggle.“I think he is rather sweet and humorous.”“Whatever you say Hinata.” But Sakura, too, had a small smile on her face as she walked out the door. Maybe this year would be a little less boring with the blond boy around.Naruto rushed around his room, trying to locate all of his wayward school supplies.
So far, all he could find was his school bag and a few pencils.“Dammit!” He swore when he hit his head on the bottom of his bed. Naruto didn’t think that anything would have made it under his bed in the amount of time that he had been here, but he wasn’t putting it past some ill humored god to conveniently place some of his belongings there.‘Shit, shit, shit.’ He only had five minutes left. ‘I swear I am forever cursed to be late for class’ Even at his old school he had never made it on time.Making a mad sprint to his closet, Naruto flung the door open and began digging through the bags that had been brought up to him the day before.“Thank God!” An orange notebook and some other supplies came into sight, and Naruto felt like jumping up and doing a rather unorthodox dance. Luckily, time was too precious at the moment to do such things.Somehow Naruto managed to sweep up all his supplies in his arm and ran to the door. They had to be shifted in his hands so that he could turn the doorknob. He was in too much of a hurry to try and organize everything in his bag.‘Come on, just a little further.’ His fingers stretched out, wrapping around the cool metal of the doorhandle.The handle turned slowly and Naruto pushed forward, a little too hard in his hast. Everything was chaos as he fell through the doorway and into the hall. His things flung everywhere in an unorganized heap.Naruto braced himself to feel the hard surface of the floor. This just marked the end of his good day.“Gah...” He met the floor, but it wasn’t hard. Wait, why was the floor moving.Naruto knew that something was off.“You idiot! Get off me.” Naruto immediately turned his head to stare into a rather pissed face.“Oh... Sasuke?” It was more of a question. Naruto had not even noticed the raven haired boy. Then again that could have been because he had been too busy falling.Sasuke was not happy, not in the least. He had been trying to avoid the blond all morning and this is where it got him, a little too close. He had even gone so far as to head out late. Sasuke was sure that Naruto would leave early with Sakura. Sadly, he had been mistaken.So now here he sat on the floor with Naruto sprawled on top of him. It was odd how familiar it felt to have that warmth consume him again after so many years. It brought back so many different memories, both good and bad.It made him feel so overwhelmed. Oh, how he wished that he could relive those memories. Sasuke had to remember, though ,that the boy before him was not the same as from his memories.“Sorry... shit... I really didn’t know you were there... gah... I am such a klutz.” Then again, he was the same bumbling idiot that Sasuke remembered.“You have that right, moron.” Sasuke pushed himself up as Naruto got up and onto his feet, brushing himself off.“Yeah well, at least I said I was sorry.” He mumbled to himself, not wanting to meet the other boy’s eyes. It was creepy to see such familiarity within there dark depths.“Next try using what little of a brain you have.” Sasuke taunted, getting up to his feet.“Sorry Bastard, but not all of us can have smart-ass heads like yours. I am surprised you can even fit through doorways.”Sasuke knew that he should have been angered at the comment, but it just felt so right. The banter between the two, the silly name calling. It was all like before, just so much different.He could only let a smirk fall upon his face as he turned away. ‘This guy is a complete air head. I can’t stand him.’ The thought only made his smirk grow.“Come on. You’re going to be later than you already are if you continue standing there in La La Land.”“Yeah, whatever.” Naruto huffed, it was all he could do. Arguing would get him nowhere. Although it was rather pleasing yelling at the vampire.Then again, Naruto always did enjoy making the lives of the jocks and preps at his old school miserable.He didn’t go a day without pulling some type of prank on them. Most of the time he landed in the office but he always thought it was worth it.“So Idiot... What class do you have first?” Sasuke’s calm voice floated into Naruto’s thoughts making him frown.“For one my name is Naruto, and second why do you care?”“I know what your name is.” Sasuke just couldn’t bring himself to say it. The last time he had truly addressed the blond, his name had been filled with so much love and sadness as it left his lips. He was unsure if he could say that name without giving away emotions he had tried so hard to block away from the world.It was easier for him to keep hidden behind a dark wall in his heart. Sasuke could not afford to let it break now.“Also I was trying to be nice and help you find your first class.” He received a suspicious glance from Naruto. The blond was unsure if he should trust Sasuke’s sudden kindness.Deciding to take his chances, Naruto handed over his schedule.“Hmmm... Pre-Cal with Asuma, German Studies with Kakashi, English with Jiraiya, Advance Biology with Kurenai, Art with Genma, Government with Ibiki, and Athletics with Gai. Well I can assure you that you will have an interesting year with the teachers you have.” Sasuke seemed amused by the thought. “Also you seem to have a few classes with me.”“And those would be?” They were walking across the plaza now. The breeze was blowing slightly, giving them a slight chill.“German Studies, English, and Art.” Sasuke informed him. “Oh and lunch.”Naruto took this in, nodding his head in reply. He was beginning to feel odd, so he kept silent. It felt as if his head had been submerged in water. Everything had a weird echo to it. His hands were beginning to feel heavy and numb.“Hey... what’s the matter?” Sasuke had noticed that Naruto had stopped in his progression to the main building.The blond had a faraway look on his face that made Sasuke slightly concerned. ‘What the hell is wrong now?’ He couldn’t help but think. From the way things were looking, the two of them were not going to be getting to class anytime soon.Naruto had begun to sway on his feet by the time Sasuke got to his side. It was good timing to since it seemed like the blond could no longer hold up his own body weight, causing him to fall to his knees on the freshly cut lawn.“Shit, come on moron, snap out of it.” Naruto received a sharp slap in the face, bringing him somewhat out of his daze.He felt so disconnected from the world, and thirst he felt was intolerable. He needed to satisfy his thirst. That was what his body screamed for.“Sasuke... so... thirsty...” It was barely audible but Sasuke caught it, and just like that everything made sense. The incident last night, Naruto’s refusal to drink blood, and now this fatigue.“Hey, Listen to me! When was the last time you drank?” Naruto didn’t answer; he wasn’t even sure if he could if he had wanted to. His whole body was shutting down, just like last time. He couldn’t let it happen.Sasuke on the other hand had calmed down some, now that he knew what was wrong with the blond. All he needed was blood. ‘The idiot. Why the hell did he go on this long without feeding. He should know better.’He gently laid the blond on the grass, making sure not to jostle him too much. Luckily Sasuke carried a bottle of the red liquid around with him just incase he had a sudden craving. The last thing he needed was to jump a poor unsuspecting human. He would hear it from Tsunade for sure if that ever happened.Removing his book bag from his shoulder, he began to dig around within it. He pushed aside his binders and notebooks to reveal a black sports bottle with what looked to be a logo branded on the front.“You better thank me for this later.” Sasuke bit open the top of the bottle that would now allow the liquid to flow free from its confines.His heart quickened when he held Naruto close, it felt déjà vu. In another time, in another body, Sasuke could remember a scene similar to this.He made sure to lift Naruto’s head up just enough so that the blood could flow down his throat easily without the possibility of choking him. That was the last thing Sasuke needed right now on his conscious. Choking Naruto while trying to force feed him blood. That would look really good on his record. Then again he probably wouldn’t be alive long enough to even have to worry about that.Carefully he placed the tip of the bottle against Naruto’s dry lips.“Come on, open your damn mouth.” The blond complied, welcoming the onslaught of cool blood as it poured into his mouth.Naruto felt disgusted with himself, but even that did not change the fact that it felt wonderful. The rich blood felt so smooth and sweet as it slid down his throat, making his body tingle with new life. Never before had he tasted something so absolutely wonderful. It was like a forbidden fruit that he had been denying himself for so long.Eventually as the last drop fell into his waiting mouth, Naruto began to feel normal again. His head felt as clear as ever. Everything felt just as it had when he woke up this morning.“Thanks, Sasuke.” He said, trying to get to his feet.“You need to be more careful. I’m glad I was here when it happened. Be sure to have at least a glass a day. Didn’t you know what you were getting yourself into when you asked to get bitten?” Sasuke was ranting on not paying attention to Naruto’s reaction. Upon his last sentence though, Naruto spoke, in an eerily calm voice.“Who ever said it was my choice to become This.”Sasuke watched him for a moment confused as his sudden reaction.“You think I wanted to be a monster?” Naruto growled out, his eyes blazing with fury.Sasuke flinched at the words but kept his face neutral. He did not know the circumstances behind Naruto’s change. It hurt him to think that the blond had decided to go through with it now, when he had been so against all those years before. Now though as he heard the words spilling from his mouth he felt a rage for whoever brought this malice upon the blond.“You didn’t want this?”“You think I wanted to be a blood sucking freak? Oh hell, if so you have another thing coming.” Naruto was breaking, he knew that. All the emotions were coming back. He wanted them to stay locked up, but it felt so good to let it out. “It ruined my life! I lost so much because of this. I lost my mother, my friends, my fucking life, Sasuke!”“Start a new life. Forget everything that has happened before.” Naruto glared at the raven—How dare he even say such a thing?“That’s easy for you to say! Did you see the hatred in your mother’s eyes as she was told what you had become? Did she call you a monster, Satan’s child? Did she abandon you without a hope left in the world? How can you ask me to forget something like that. You don’t know how it feels to be suddenly all alone, to be a monster!” Naruto roared.“Hn. You talk too much for being so naive. You think I don’t know what its like to lose everything? Let me ask you this. Do you know what it’s like to see your whole family killed before your very eyes, and by the brother you had loved so much? Can you even imagine what it feels like to be bathed in their blood? Or maybe you know how it feels to see the one you love above all else die and know that you are the one that caused his death.” What could Naruto say to that? He had forgotten the pain Sasuke had gone through. To Sasuke, Naruto must have looked like whimpering child that had just lost his teddy.He had no right to complain about his life to someone who had, had it so much worse.“All I can say to you is get the hell over it. You’re weak to think that your life has ended just because some bad things happen. Remember this, it can always be worse.” The words were hissed this time. Sasuke was losing his patience. Why couldn’t Naruto see that despite everything he still was lucky? His mother was still alive, his friends still breathing on this earth. He still had a good life to live.Sasuke, though, his life was a cursed existence. His brother had made sure of that.“Shut up, just shut up.”“Oh what? Did I hit a nerve? Are you going to cry for me now?” He had to stop, he was going too far, he knew that but still be could not stop. “Aw, suck it up.”Naruto shook with rage, he understood Sasuke’s words but he could not believe them. “What do you know, you’re a monster.”“Heh, me a monster? No, my brother is a monster. Me, on the other hand, I am just Sasuke, I am who I choose to be.” Black eyes bore deep into blue. “But you, are you a monster? What do you choose to be?”“I hate you.” Words came out of Naruto’s mouth before he could do anything. “I HATE YOU!” He screamed, cutting Sasuke deep.In that moment as Naruto ran towards the main building, Sasuke realized that he still loved the blond idiot more than ever. Still though Sasuke felt the same hate towards himself as Naruto did.How could he do what he had just done? He had just pushed away his last hope of happiness. The sun in his dark world had set once again and this time he was flushed into a perpetual blackness that seemed hopeless to escape from.In a time like this only one word seemed to fly from his parted lips.“Fuck.”To Be Continued . . .
A/N - Ok so yeah... Sasuke has problems with keeping his mouth shut... does that make him OOC??? I think I am keeping them in character... but I am not sure...So anyways you all know the drill — REVIEW — and I will update faster... It’s like my payment for writing. LOL.
