The Spring Of My Life

Destination - Uzushiogakure

"Hello?", a husky broken voice of Naruto answered the call.

" Naruto! Where are you? Its fucking ten in morning. Its already one hour late", complained a very pissed off Shikamaru from other side.

"Leave me alone, Shika. I am not feeling good".

" What? Are you out of mind today? You are a fucking Hokage. Bring your ass over here, an emergency have showed up", said Shikamaru, his voice seemed very tensed.

"I said just leave me alone Shika", Naruto said as he gripped the cord of the telephone tightly. Pissed off on himself.
No matter how much he try, he can't even bring out his own chakra, just forget about Kuramaa's. Nor he can contact with the nine tails. He was pissed and sad. What the hell that Teme thinks of herself, she can't just go off on her own like this. This is unacceptable. Never in his life, he was fucking sure, never in his life till now he had denied to hear her out. Then why!

" Naruto! Why can't you understand? The two council elders who were kept in that harsh genjutsu punishment. Koharu and Homura san were found out of that genjutsu this morning in their cells. Naruto! Just understand the urgency of this situation! It can be some enemy invasion".

'Out of genjutsu huh!', Naruto thought tiredly. Who else could this be rather than the one who actually put them in the first place.

"Shika! Don't fret so much. I already know who can do this. You can rest easy. Just keep an eye on both of them. No need to put them in any sort of torture. Inform their family about the end of their punishment period. Let them meet the two. It will be fine", Naruto said in a cool collective voice.

" Wha....You know? Naruto! Tell me everything! You are hiding something. Tell me who did this?", Shikamaru enquired even more.

"Shika, calm down. I will tell you everything, I promise. Just please let me be alone for a while.
A-And please, can you please send K-karin to my home, please".

"Karin? What the hell is happening to you Naruto? You are making me worried!"

The cerulean eyes glistened with tears. He have already cried too much, still these tears are like never ending, like they are just infinitely pouring out and out. Never ceasing. He felt so tired, his eyes lost that shine. He glanced at his fingers which were squeezing the cord, the ring was shining shamelessly. It was the only thing he was holding himself from loosing his Sanity. His only hope, only sign she is alive and well somewhere out in this endless world.

"Ask Karin to come alone. I don't want to be indulged with too many people. Ja ne", with this he put down the receiver and slowly slid down with the cabinet as support. He hugged his legs and buried his head in there. He was trying so hard to even out his ragged breathing. Everything just turned upside down in a single night. His dreams, his plans, everything, every fucking thing just changed in a single night. He is still in doubt, maybe all this is just a ridiculous dream. A dream where he will wake up and find himself again with Sasuke clinging to him like a koala when she is deep in sleep. Feeling her soft calm breaths on his back, feeling her soft and smooth skin on his toned tighter ones. Wish this dream ends soon.

He was deep in his thoughts that he almost loosed track of time. No wonder he missed the first bell, but was soon dragged to reality on the second one.
He got up slowly and dragged his feet towards the door. Oh, how much he wished if it was Sasuke, waiting outside for him to open the door and welcome her with big open arms.

He peeked through the peep hole, the image of Sasuke just dissolved into a red haired women on his door.

Oh right, I asked for Karin.
