"Where the hell is Sasuke Uchiha?!" But by the time Naruto turned around, Tsunade was already alerting the guards.

"How-how could this happen?" Kiba's mouth hanging wide open. "Are the guards even doing their jobs!?" He burst out in anger while the other was left standing there, silent and broken.

He didn't even have the chance to see him again. Maybe.. Maybe they are just not meant to be. He felt his eyes filling up.

Sasuke.

What happened?

Where the hell are you?

These questions replayed in Uzumaki's head as they were returning to Tsunade's kingdom as they tried their hardest to digest what happened. Sasuke is missing. And no one knew what happened. The guards went to notify the higher post guardians and they went searching frantically for a dead body.

"Have a good rest now, I'll see you in the morning. Don't worry too much." Tsunade's sweet voice echoed the large room with concern before she gently shut the door.

Naruto laid in bed, alone and wondering.

He turned to his side, and his tears ran across his face and dropped onto his pillow. But he wasn't in pain and he wasn't in sorrow. He just felt numb. Extremely numb.

But his tears wouldn't stop.

But then, he heard a howl. Was that in his head? He wanted to brush it off before he heard it again. It was very clear. The boy sat up from his bed, wiping away his fallen tears. "Sa..Sasuke?" He whispered.

"Beloved." The dead king's voice entered the weak boy's mind.

It was so clear. And he just knew it was Sasuke.

The wolf howled again, and just like before it was calling out to him. He jumped out of bed and ran out of the room, and into the same vacant room at the end of the hallway.

The dead man was sat on the bed, as before. Waiting for him. Sasuke smiled as he extended his arms and Naruto leaped into it.

Oh, how happy he felt. Overjoyed.

Was he dreaming? Or hallucinating?

He didn't care. He just didn't want it to end.

"I missed you. I missed you so much, please don't leave me again Sasuke please don't do that to me again.."

The younger one sobbed into his arms.

Sasuke smiled gently as he stroked Naruto's hair like a child.

If only moments like this could last forever.

The night stood still, though it was silent, it felt very peaceful.

Suddenly Sasuke stood up, still looking into the eyes of his lover, he ran into the hallway.

Naruto was surprised but his reaction was fast to chase after him.

"Sasuke! Wait for me!" Naruto called out as his voice echoed the long hallway.

Sasuke turned back to smile at Naruto while still running off.

He finally stopped at the end of the hallway, and opened up the window.

He raised his hand out to Naruto, and whispered, "Come to me."

When Naruto grabbed ahold of his palm, the dead king disappeared into a thousand pieces.

"No,no,no! Come back!" The prince yelled out into the darkness. The pieces slowly disappeared while floating away. Dead silence was the only reply to Naruto's pleading.

The bird's eyes flashed open, with tears streaming down his cheeks.

It was just a dream.

It was just.. A dream.

But it felt too real.

Was he dreaming because he missed the king?

Or was the king actually trying to tell him something?

"Come to me."
