Pain

Rain…It's quite a pleasant phenomenon, sometime it makes you happy and joyful. Other time, it personifies the pain of loneliness, the pain of betrayal…

This pain belonged to one Naruto Uzumaki, a man of honor who possessed a will stronger than steel, that now lay broken. He has blonde, spiky hair and ocean blue eyes that shone with the innocence of a child. Right now, those eyes of innocence looked shattered and dead. He had no idea what to do. He felt so lonely, so betrayed from the events that occurred last month. He never something so horrible, so two-faced, so thoughtless would ever happen to him.

In the confusing haze that shrouded his mind, he call his best friend, Sasuke Uchiha.

"Sasuke."

"What's up, buddy? How'd your first date go?" Sasuke asked. He had black eyes and spiky black hair with a blue tint. His hair hung over his face as bangs. He waited a little bit for a response, but when Naruto didn't immediately reply, Sasuke felt disconcerted. Sasuke called Naruto name into the phone over and over with increasing urgency. Finally, when he sighed and moved to hang up the phone, he heard Naruto's voice again. This time, however, he could practically feel the sadness in it.

"Sasuke...don't I deserve any love?"

At that point, Sasuke knew that something had gone horribly wrong. He had known Naruto since their childhood years; their mothers were best friends before Naruto's family perished 12 years ago. The poor child had issues trusting anyone but Sasuke after the funeral happened, but in recent weeks, he had shown signs of improvement.

"Naruto, where are you?" Sasuke thought Naruto would reply, but heard a crash, followed by a scream.

The line cut off.

"Naruto?! NARUTO?! NARUTO, REPLY, DAMN IT!"

Sasuke grabbed his jacket and moved to the door.

"MOTHER, I'M GOING TO NARUTO'S PLACE!"

Before Sasuke's mother, Mikoto Uchiha, could reply, she heard the door close. She sighed tiredly. She was a fair-skinned woman with long, straight black hair with bangs hanging on either side of her face to roughly frame her cheeks and black eyes.

"I'm losing my handle on that boy." Her thoughts turned to Naruto. Naruto admired her as an aunt and she had called him "son" a few times, which Naruto didn't mind at all.

'Naruto, what has happened to you that made Sasuke ran out of the house in such a hurry? Wherever you are, I hope you're okay.'

As Sasuke ran towards the place of Naruto's date, he called Naruto's cell again, to no avail. That didn't stop the Uchiha as he kept trying again and again but when he reached the place, which was really near to Issei's home, he saw Naruto's phone lying there.

Well, that explain why Naruto wouldn't answer his calls, but he couldn't see said boy, anywhere. Plus, it had started to rain hard, so if Naruto had left the place of his date, where could he have gone to? He decided to look for him, calling his name and checking out different stores.

About half an hour later, Sasuke heard someone singing a song. Recognizing the voice, he followed it. Soon he found a shelter of homeless people, sitting by fires, eating some bread and soup, cuddling with their families, or sleeping by themselves.

After following the voice through the crowd, he found his best friend singing a lullaby for a small child. Their parents sat there, watching their child sleeping soundly in Naruto's arms. After finishing his lullaby, Naruto placed the child on a sleeping mat. The child's parents looked at him with teary eyes and bow their heads.

"Thank you so much for saving our child. We are in your debt, young man." The mother spoke. Naruto protested this gesture.

"Please, stop this. I am way younger than you so please don't bow to me. To be honest, I don't like seeing someone bow to me."
