The Gate Part 6
I would like to clearly state that Naruto and all other things associated with it (except my characters) are not mine.
"But how are you supposed to prove your man hood if not with a sword?" Zolen begins "You cannot let them walk all over you." He folds his arms and sits down
"Zolen has a point" Setsuna begins "The way of the sword is without a doubt the best way to settle things, I myself have won more than one duel to the death"
Iruka rubs his head, he had been on the subject of the new law and order for over 2 hours, things the two were telling him were true but out of date.
"So you are telling me if I got hit I would go to the police. If I hit him back it would be me who got in trouble also even though I was the one getting hit? ABSURD! What Irish thinking is this?" Zolen stands up "And you are also saying if a burglar comes into MY home and killed my children I would not be able to kill him or I would be locked up, what madness is this?"
"Calm down Zolen, there is obviously a reason for this, I must admit a stupid reason, but still a reason." He pauses "What reason is this?"
Iruka looks at them "Well…. It's the law, nothing we can do about it"
"And did the King make such a stupid law?" Setsuna asks
"We don't have a King" Iruka replies
The two boys look at him in shock "Queen?"
"We have a Queen but she no longer has the power to make or change laws" Iruka smiles
"So what is the point of having a bloody Queen then?" Setsuna asks, he was not sure he liked this world at all.
"Well……she goes to engagements and things….."
"A party figure? A trophy? How did this happen?"
Iruka again rubs his head……it was going to be a long day.
Naruto looked out the window of the tiny inn, it was true they had been here before, the owner remembered them and again showed them great generosity. He had sent supplies to their room and also had hot food brought.
"Sasuke" Naruto says braking the silence "We need to talk….."
"I know" Sasuke murmurs "But I want to say something first"
"Okay" Naruto replies
"Whatever happens, we stay friends" He smiles
"Errrmmm sure" Naruto turns round and walks over to the bed Sasuke was laying on. "The truth is Sasuke, I've been watching your behaviour, and your behaviour towards me to be exact." He pauses "Ever since we were young you hated me, then you became my friend…..I…..I am really happy I am your friend…..but my feelings"
Naruto stands up again and looks at the rain fall on the window "I like you more than a friend" he whispers
"What?" Sasuke looks at him
"Please don't make me say it again……" Naruto looks at him
"Say it again" Sasuke walks towards him and stops inches from his face "tell me so I know I am not hearing what I want to hear"
Naruto looks at him shocked "I…I like you more than a friend"
Before he knew it Sasuke was kissing him, Naruto closes his eyes and relaxes.
Naruto breaks the kiss and looks at him
Ino sat in the tent next to her pink haired friend looking quite sorry for herself as did Sakura.
"It's……it's not too bad" Sakura looks up at Ino "It was because of Sasuke-kun we fell out in the first place"
"Yeh" Ino forces a weak smile "Its not like one of us stood a chance anyway……with him been gay and all"
Sakura looks at Ino "We have guys in the queue for us! We shouldn't let this put us down!"
Ino and Sakura hand in hand walk out of the tent towards the shops, friends re-united once again.
"What the HELL is going on!" Henry bellows, "Find my son and that…that… whore of a witch!"
"I am sorry my lord, the boys have evaded us once again…….we cannot follow them as they seem to be different people"
"What…did…. you…. say?" Henry glares at the poor servant in front of him.
"I saw it with my own eyes! They changed my lord into two other boys! I swear it!"
"More talk of witchcraft! What has that Zolen done to my boy! I told him to stay away damn it!"
"We are trying my lord…. we will do everything in our power to find him and burn the witch."
"I am afraid it is too late for my son…kill them both" He looks at the ground "If only he didn't run away again! I could have got the priest to save his soul…its too late"
"Kill them both?"
"They must be burned………"
That's the next bit, I apologise for how late it is.
If you happen to be Irish and have been offended by what has been written remember that zolen & setsuna are in a time where the irish were thought of as...welll shadey characters. I apologise if any offence has been taken, it was not ment to be that way!
