A Demon Can Love(NaruSaku)

Chapter. 20

Naruto's Pov

"I wanna hear everything, from your side. I wanna hear hear how you killed my boyfriend."

I could feel my heart sink when she spoke those words. Unlike my face, inside there were so many emotions going through me. I knew she wanted an answer but was I ready to give her one? I came to value her opinion of me and didn't want her opinion of me to change. However, I knew it was going to as soon as I told her. She looked at me expectantly.

"Okay, but I ask you to stay through all of it. Remember those rules, I think we broke almost all of them." She nodded and didn't seem to notice me mentioning the rules. Heaving a big sigh, I relived my worse day ever. " I considered Sasuke to be my closest and only friend," I decided not to tell her that I might've been in love with Sasuke. "We had built a castle made out of cardboard boxes that took a month to make. Remember when he told you that he needed to apologize?" She nodded. "It was because he accidently destroyed the castle and I wouldn't talk to him the next day. Petty, I know. Anyways he came, apologized, and we made up quickly. We decided to build a tree house instead."

"On the third day we noticed someone following us around. Kuruma, the demon inside me, noticed that there was something off about the mysterious stranger. Not heeding his warning, I didn't tell Sasuke and we continued building the house. It wasn't until we fully let our guards down that the mysterious dude attacked us. Kuruma quickly took over and helped us dodge the mysterious person. He crashed into a tree and revealed himself. Unfortunately I didn't know or recognize who it was."

"We took off and started running for our lives. I was scared, not for me but for Sasuke. He didn't have a demon inside him and I didn't entirely trust myself to be able to protect the both of us." I couldn't determine what Sakura was feeling, she was just standing there. The rain didn't help at all.

"While trying to shake him off Sasuke and Kuruma realized that the person chasing us, well me, was also a demon vessel. Sasuke had started asking a lot of questions, and years later I realized he did that because he was terrified, but it distracted me big time. I remember telling him to shut the fuck up and get in front of me so if the man were to lash out he would hit me instead. There was a split in the way we were running. I told Sasuke to make a left. I've always hated myself for that decision. It was the worse thing I could've said. The person chasing us attempted to claw me but Sasuke-," I started crying a little, always hating to relive this part. 

"Sasuke  quickly pushed me out the way and got struck instead. I remember hearing his body hit the ground with a thud and completely losing it. Coming back to my senses I felt moisture on my hands but I rushed over to where Sasuke was. He was barely hanging on and what pissed me off was that he was laughing about it. He refused my efforts in trying to get him to a hospital."

" He started telling me what he thought of me when he first met me. He said that he thought I was a cold and distant person and that seeing me crying was pretty funny to him. You were also on his mind while I held him. 'Aww man she's gonna be mad,' he said." Looking at Sakura she was silently crying. I sighed. "Trying to get him to stay awake I kept asking him about you. The authorities came as soon as he died in my arms. Looking around they blamed me for Sasuke's death, snatched him out of my arms, and I didn't deny it because it was all my fault. I remember looking back and not seeing our attacker but I was pretty sure I killed him."

I stopped talking letting her process everything and to keep my voice from cracking.

"Then-" I cut her off because I wasn't done.

"That day I promised myself two things. I would find the bastard that took Sasuke away from me and I wouldn't get close to anyone ever again. When you told me and I confirmed it was the same Sasuke, I wanted to end everything between us. However before I knew it, I had grown attached to you and wanted to protect you. Sakura I wanted nothing more than to make sure you were safe. When I hurt Kakashi and thought it was you, I wanted to die. That's why I told you that I don't want you near me anymore."

"If I were to have told you this when you told me about Sasuke do you think we would be this close? Do you think you would still want to be friends? I grew to value your opinion of me and didn't want it to change. I am so sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

"Naruto. I-I don't forgive you." I knew it. "But not for the reason you're probably thinking. I don't forgive you for not telling me and I don't forgive you for taking all the blame." Huh? "It's not your fault, you tried protecting him. I'm sorry that no one gave you the chance to hear you out." I sunk to the ground and started crying like a baby.

"Naruto!" Why am I crying so hard?

'You finally got the closure you needed kid.' 

I haven't heard from you in a while.

'I was trying to keep low. I'm sorry that I wasn't there to help you out back then. I want you to know that I'll only resurface when you're trying to protect her.'

I thanked Kuruma and focused back on Sakura. She was trembling but still held onto me. "Sakura, I want you to know that I would never hurt you." She sniffed and nodded. We held each other while the rain poured down on us.

Shorter than the last chapter, sorryyy. I was honestly thinking about ending the story here but I don't think you wonderful readers would be satisfied and neither would I. The max this story will have is MAYBE thirty chapters. If you want me to do a certain ship just letme know and I'll get started on it. Anyways, Sayonara! :)

Edit: currently working on chapter 31 so I'm going to upload everyday, sometimes twice a day, until the book is finished. Yay!
