Behind the Mask

Chapter 2

3rd person POV

Three years ago

"I- I can't do this anymore, we have to break up" Naruto said quietly as he and Sasuke stood over the Hokage stone faces. He and Sasuke had been dating for a while now. Everything was perfect and he was even reconsidering his goal in life, until Itachi came to the village. After finding out who he came after , he became obsessed with what made Naruto so strong that even the Itachi wanted him more he wanted his own little brother. What exactly was so special about him. Then it hit him. The one thing his older brother wanted but couldn't have.... was his.

He had what his brother could never have, it was his. After the incident, he was determined to keep Naruto as his own forever so his brother could never get to him. He was going to be his, forever. That was when it started. His random bursts of aggression, the overprotectiveness and the killing. In their missions, when Naruto had been stabbed, he lost it and ran the man through his own sword. And then Kakashi made the mistake of teaching him Chidori. Even though he never admitted to or was seen committing the crime, the marks left behind on the bodies were clear signs of the Chidori. The one thing that they all had in common before their death?

They'd physically harmed Naruto.

Sasuke stood there his face a void of any emotion. 

"No" he simply said.

"S-sasuke this isn't right w-what you're doing f-for me" Naruto could feel his hands tremble at his sides a bit. He'd heard about the murders, even though they was classified as to secret. Of course he'd seen Sasuke being overprotective. It wasn't impossible to think that he'd kill someone, after all he had killed before in front of him. Naruto knew that he was the main reason he was acting out. Maybe he'd stop if he wasn't in is life any more. 

"But it's right for them to trash your house, beat you mercilessly and treat you like you're a monster? I wont let anyone hurt what's mines" Sasuke was getting more and more agitated.

"I don't belong to anyone! You can't kill people just because they bully me a little. I deserve it anyway...." He said the last part under his breath so that Sasuke couldn't hear it.

SLAP

Naruto's eyes widened. He could feel the pain in his face, but it only lingered for a second before it was gone as he felt his collar being pulled. Sasuke's face inches away from his. He looked into his eyes and in the place where his beautiful emotionless onyx eyes were supposed the be, were dark cold frantic eyes full of only hate and envy.

"You're mine and there's nothing you can do about it." Naruto stared into those eyes that looked at him with hate. The same eyes that would follow him everywhere he went, even in his dreams. And they were worn by the one he never thought would hurt him. At that moment, he felt as if he'd lost everything. And then everything went black.

Sasuke felt something grip his hand tightly as looked as 'Naruto' who glared at him with deep red eyes and a smirk on his face. "Hey, won't you take a hint?" a deep voice bellowed from 'Naruto' though Sasuke was sure it wasn't him. 

"Who are and what are you doing with my Naru" Sasuke's eyes burned with anger as his grip tightened on the blond's collar, but so did the blond's on his arm causing some blood to come out. Sasuke winced a little and looked at the hand gripping his own. He quickly shrugged off 'Naruto's' grip on him and jumped back after feeling the amount of KI (killer's intent) and pure hatred coming from his beloved Naruto. His breaths became more and more shallow as he struggled a bit to stand. 

'Naruto's' smile widened seeing this as he walked up to Sasuke and gripped him by his neck. Lifting him up with one hand, 'Naruto' dangled Sasuke over the edge of the Third Hokage's head.
