Chapter One: The memory of the past.

Three years. Three years of being away from each other, three long years of loneliness and three long years of missing each other.

Now, he's back. Sasuke is back.

The long wait is over. Orochimaru is dead and so as Itachi.

The long searched for revenge is finally over and now, in front of Naruto's door, Sasuke is standing.

Memories of the past came to his mind. The same night as this. It was raining hard. Thunders and lightning are visible and loudly heard.

The painful night of saying goodbye.

Three years ago…

"Naruto, will you elope with me?" Sasuke said.

"I'm sorry Sasuke but I can't. The villager needed me here and Tsunade-baba won't allow it." Naruto said with a sigh.

"I don't know Sasuke. I don't think I can come with you." bowing his head.

"I understand and I'm sorry for forcing you to come. Goodbye Naruto." after saying his goodbye, he started walking away from the love of his life and never tried to turn

from his back from looking at the person his heart is beating.

Back to the present, Sasuke was at Naruto's doorstep and...

(Knock! Knock! Knock!)

In his mind, 'I hope his here.'

Hearing several knocks sound from his door, Naruto made his way downstairs shouting, "Wait! I'll be right there."

'Who could this person be? Especially this late.' while thinking who is the person beyond his door.

And to his surprise after opening his door, stunned and unable to move. Naruto only muttered the name of the person he long to see and embraced, "Sasuke..."
