Story Title: Come With Me.

Chapter One: Throw down your headband.

"Stop following me!" He yelled, his voice echoing, bouncing off of the rock walls that surrounded us. He was breathing heavily, his bruised and beaten chest rising and falling. He held his Katana limp by his side, he knew I didn't want to fight anymore, I was tired of it and I knew he was too. We had been playing this game of cat and mouse for three years, three years too long. Many times I had ignored the orders to stay away, to not chase after him but those orders fell on deaf ears and I went after him anyway. I tried to convince my self that it was for the sake of his own good, it wasn't, it was for my own selfish reasons. I wanted him back for my self, maybe to prove to everyone that I could do it after they doubted me, maybe it was because deep down, I knew that I couldn't live without him.

"I don't want to chase you anymore but I can't just let you go." I said, almost in a whisper, he heard me, he always heard me when no one else listened. I dropped the kunai that I had been clutching so tightly, as a sign that I was ready to give up, which certainly wasn't in my nature but I was tired. Tired of following him, tired of pretending that we could continue to do this forever, it was all a lie, we both knew it would have to end some day, most likely with one, or both of us dead.

"Then come with me, throw down that damn headband and come with me. Naruto, I know you're tired of this, that village doesn't care for you or me. Leave it behind, everything and everyone." He proposed, dropping his Katana, the clinking of it's metal resounding in my ears, he out stretched his hand, an offer for me to take. I stared at that pale hand, its blood stained fingers waiting for me to take hold. I did, I took hold of that hand, disregarding any consequences that would come from it. I looked into his eyes, those eyes that had haunted my dreams for years, those eyes that had once stared at me with such hate were now dragging me into their gentle embrace. I stepped closer to him, a gentle smile, one I hadn't seen in a very long time was present on his face. I felt strange, we hadn't been close to each other like this without one of us trying desperately to physically harm the other. He grasped my hand, pulling me ever closer, his other hand came up to wrap around my waist, I flinched inwardly as his arm scraped the bruises that he himself had inflicted.

I could feel his breath on my face as we continued to stare into each others eyes. My heart was beating uncontrollably fast, I knew I had deeper feelings than friendship for him, I had realised it long ago. The way he walked, talked and even smelled drove my heart to the brink of beating out of my chest. I had denied it for so long but just like with the fighting and chasing I was tired of it. When I had finally admitted it to myself it felt as though a great weight had been lifted from my shoulders and it felt even better to be in his arms like this now.

"Okay. I'll do it. I'll come with you Sasuke." I whispered, offering him a gentle smile of my own. He leaned forward, his slightly chapped lips coming forward to brush against my own. There was no need for anymore fighting over who was stronger than who, the kiss we shared was soft, slow and filled with every emotion that neither of us were strong enough to admit. We stayed like that for what felt like an eternity but in reality only minutes had passed. Each of us were breathless, he pulled away and bent down to pick up his Katana that had laid forgotten on the ground. He lifted the shining blade and placed it close to my head, I closed my eyes, wondering what was coming next. Then, I heard a clink echo through the small cave in which our fight had led us. I opened up my eyes once more and looked down to my sandal clad feet. There, on the ground lay my Hitai-ate, the proud Konoha symbol etched onto the dirty and worn metal. I felt a pang in my heart, remembering how proud I had felt when I had first put it on and now it lay in the dirt to be forgotten.

"You can take it with you, I know how much it means to you." Sasuke offered. I kneeled down slowly and took the black fabric into my hand, I clutched it tightly, this was the last tie I had to the village hidden in the leaves. I placed it into the weapons pouch that was strapped to my thigh. Sasuke sheathed his Katana and began walking towards the opening of the small cave. He stopped and turned back to face me, I released the breath I didn't even know I was holding and walked over to join him. He grasped my hand again and gave it a gentle squeeze, silently ensuring me that everything was going to be okay. With one more chaste kiss we leaped from the cage and into the thick forest bellow.

Short chapter, sorry. I can't help but think of these new stories and leave behind others, it's a bad habit I guess. They'll be finished eventually, I do continue writing them I just never upload the chapters. Anyway, I hope the concept of this new story, review and tell me what you think
