Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ See Me For Who I Am! ❯ Hidden Emotions ( Chapter 5 )

See Me For Who I Am

 

 

Okay, maybe I'm not updating as “FAST AS I CAN”, but give me a break…I'm going through a horrible writer's block. I STILL can't decide what to do with Itachi! But then again, please go on reading (and if you'll be nice, please also review).

 

Again, THANKYOU ONCE AGAIN FOR THE WONDERFUL REVIEWS!

It's been a long time, I know, but im so happy that people are still reading this fic and have been waiting oh so patiently ^_^. Well, without further ado, the moment you've all been waiting for, here is Chapter Five!!

 

Summary: Yaoi. Naruto lives a double life in Konoha. He isn't as stupid as people take him for. Sasuke and Naruto were in a relationship, but Sasuke did something stupid, and they break up later. Naruto leaves Konoha afterwards, without his friends knowing. When he returns, he's changed, but as beautiful as ever. Slowly, everyone in Konoha sees him in a new light. Naruto is attracting trouble without even knowing. What is our blonde ninja to do?

 

A/N: If you don't like to read about guys making out or doing `stuff' then you may leave or flame me to your hearts content.

 

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I wish I did though. But if I did I bet it'd be all screwed up.

 

Pairings: At the beginning it's Sasu/Naru, Mia/Sasu. Later, it would be Ita/Naru and one-sided people/Naru. You can decide/vote if you like.

 

Note: any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.

 

A/N: Uhhh… I forgot to mention, but I think you all should know, that in Lightning Country right now it's in the late evening, and in Konoha it's early afternoon. I don't know the time for sure but I like it like this, so yeah.

 

WARNING: Yaoi, as I said earlier, and some major OOC with some characters. I'm trying to get them into character as best as I can… which isn't really saying much.

 

 

“Talking”

`Thinking'

-Expressions-

Kyuubi talking

 

 

 

Previously:

 

Naruto just heard laughing. When he turned to look at Itachi, the man was laughing his head off at Naruto. He was laughing so hard; he was clutching his stomach in agony of the hilariousness of it all.

 

“Hey hey hey!!! NOT funny! Quit laughing at me! You want me to kick your ass?!”

 

`Well. It's nice to see him laugh. He looks…more relaxed, younger even, when he laughs. I like it. I'll try all I can to make this happen again.'

 

Naruto laughed along with Itachi. Many of the patrons of the bar were staring at the two as if they had gone crazy. One pair of grey eyes in particular were among them.

 

`Well well well… WHAT have we here…? Perhaps some fun in this boring village at last…'

 

Chapter five: Hidden Emotions

 

Lightning Country

 

 

The grey eyed man left the club after watching the two mysterious couple a while longer, watching them drink and chat about nothing in particular, it seemed. They were so preoccupied with themselves they didn't notice all the looks they were attracting. They both stood out like a rose among weeds.

 

`It's too bad I didn't ask one of them out. Although I don't think the boss would like that.'

 

The grey-eyed man wasn't anything special to look at, but he wasn't half bad looking either. A little bit on the scrawny side, but still showed some muscles, and looked like someone not to be messed with. He had lovely silver-blonde hair that reached his collarbone and bangs covering the left side of his eyes. It was styled in such a way that it made him look carefree and laidback. He was dressed in a long white tank top with a pair of black leather pants and a deep red leather jacket, along with black combat boots reaching up to his shins.

 

He wasn't all that intimidating looking, but in Lightning Country, looks are always deceiving. The man was jounin level, and one of the most dangerous men around the country. Although it didn't look like it, he was well known for his anger problem, and loved to take it out on random civilians, usually those who do not look `pretty' enough in his standards. It goes for women, men, and older civilians. For some reason, he never touches children.

 

The people all say it because he thinks even if children were born ugly, they have a chance to become `pretty' in the near future. Other say it was because he wasn't a pretty child himself when he was young, so he pities those children who are once like him. The most outrageous rumor was that he had an ugly child with a beautiful woman, but killed the baby for being ugly, and so his guilt lives on with him, and he never touches an ugly child.

 

The grey-eyed man walked down a silent street, towards one of the most popular clubs in the red light district, club Redemption. He approached the bouncer with an intrepid look, ignoring the long line of people in shiny get-ups, skimpy outfits, extremely expensive suits and perfumes, and the rich and poor folks who waited for hours with reservations.

 

He skipped all of them, walked up to the bouncer, gave a nod, and was immediately let in. As he walked in, he heard sighs of disappointment, angry curses, and people pushing one another. It was quite amusing, so the man turned around to face them all, stuck his tongue and middle finger out, and ran inside giggling like a child as the doors closed behind him and more angry shouts were heard.

 

Once through the door, everything was dark, and filled with loud music. The music was coming from the dance floor below the man. He walked in a straight path through a curtain of black and white stones and approached a balcony in front of him. He saw many people in the bottom dancing to heavy rock music. Many bodies were squished together. The smell of sweat, lust, alcohol and sex was everywhere, as well as some body odor, filling the man's nose.

 

`What a disgusting bunch…thank god Kyo isn't down there among that insufferable crowd.'

 

The man took a left straight down the balcony before reaching the wall at the very end. He closed his eyes concentrating hard in his mind as he made a few hand seals. When he opened his eyes again, he walked straight through the wall, shocking the people who witnessed this event and leaving them speechless (a bunch stupidly wanted to follow the man and so they ran straight into the wall, knocking some senses into themselves, and some knocking themselves out).

 

The wall was designed by a lot of chakra and strong jutsus that will only permit strong or elite ninjas to enter. Once the man walked through the wall, he was facing a staircase. He walked towards the stairs going up. Once he reached the top, he took another left down the hall until he reached a pair of old oak doors being guarded by a pair of chunin class ninjas. Again, he gave them a nod and they immediately let him in. Inside there was a bar of some sort, with a few high-class ninjas lounging around.

 

He ignored most of them, and some of them he gave his small nod of acknowledgement. He walked to the very back of the room where there wasn't too much light, and saw the large figure of a man sitting with a few ladies around him. The grey-eyed man smirked.

 

`Same old Kyo… he'll never change… Kami have mercy on this ugly fat ass.'

 

The man sat opposite to the fat man and the ladies, waiting until the other man noticed his presence, which wasn't too long.

 

“Yo, what took you so long, Ryu?”

 

Kyo was a large man. He had a round flat face, had signs of balding, if the patches of hair missing on his head was any indicator. He had a thick moustache, small squinty eyes, oily skin, flat pig-like nose, and a mole sitting on the edge of his lumpy chin. He was wearing a rich beige colour business suit, with a black tie loosened around his large neck, his white shirt unbuttoned at the top, and pants that looked ready to explode around the large man's stomach.

 

On either side of him was one woman; both were wearing revealing clothing and heavy makeup. Even though both were throwing seductive smiles and small winks at Ryuichi, he ignored them. Sluts really weren't his taste.

 

Ryuichi has known Kyo way back when Ryuichi was still a nobody. He was just another homeless kid on the street until Kyo picked him up, seeing he was worth something. Kyo had changed him and made him the person he is today.

 

So even though Kyo was not `pretty' material, Ryuichi owed him his life.

 

“I was at another pub, you know, beating the uglies, hooking up with a few guys and ladies, trying to get drunk, checking out guys… the usual.”

 

“Of course… of course… I never expected any less of the great Akuryou no Ryuichi. (1)”

 

“Damn straight.”

 

The other occupants chuckled at the reply. There was a brief comfortable silence between the two small groups before Ryuichi started speaking again.

 

“So, what's with the urgent note? Do I have a new mission? Is there a new threat? Are you promoting me?”

 

“-Chuckle- So much questions, Ryu. -Sigh- if you must know, yes it is a new mission. Although, this is much more important and dangerous than all you've ever done for me so far.”

 

“Oh? How so Kyo.”

 

Before the man known as Kyo had a chance to reply, he was interrupted by one of the ladies on his side.

 

“Ne, Kyo-kun, I'm tired. When can we leave?”

 

“Hush baby. I promise as soon as I'm done speaking.”

 

“Hmph.”

 

The woman on his lap pouted, but Kyo ignored her, turning back to Ryuichi.

 

“As I was saying, Ryu, I have talked to one of our spies in Hiro's clan, and I found out they're working with some man who calls himself Orochimaru. Now, the deal is that this man has great amount of power and money, and he somehow convinced that obnoxious group to work for him in return for great power. I hear they say that this man, that his power is so immense, it is able to destroy an entire village! Our spy has told us that all they have to do is help his army attack the hidden Mist, and then, the power is all theirs!”

 

Ryuichi was looking at him seriously for a moment, before replying.

 

“And what does this have to do with me…?”

 

“I want you to round up some of our best men. We're going to destroy Hiro's group, so that WE may have the chance for this immense and great power I've been hearing of lately.”

 

Kyo broke off cackling maniacally. His women laughed with him. Ryuichi, on the other hand, looked disgusted and miffed.

 

`He's SUCH a fool. What makes him think he can trust that Oro-whats-his-name? He's never even met the guy! And now, he's telling me to go on a suicidal mission against Hiro's group, the second most dangerous group around Lightning? He's out of his mind, this man…'

 

Ryuichi was still contemplating when Kyo smirked at the man in front of him.

 

“Oi, Ryu.”

 

Ryuichi stared at him.

 

“Catch.”

 

The fat man threw a small gadget at his direction, which he caught with ease. When he got a closer look at it, it looked like a small communicator.

 

“I want you to talk to me using that while you are doing your mission. When you're about done, press the button on the left side. It will tell me you've completed your mission and that you're ready to leave. I'll be sending someone over after that buttoned is pressed.”

 

The man gave a curt nod before standing up.

 

“When do you want me to start?”

 

The fat man was still sitting, smirked at the man standing above him.

 

“As soon as possible. Meaning tomorrow night. Do not fail me, Ryuichi.”

 

 

Konoha

 

Tsunade, one of the great Legendary Sannin, the student of Sandaime Hokage, the granddaughter of the Shodamine Hokage, and Konoha's current ruler, the Godaime, was currently asleep, drunk like hell, with paper work all around her.

 

After the departure of her beloved little brother, Tsunade decided maybe she should FINALLY begin the mountain stack of paperwork at her office. Once arriving though, and realizing just HOW much there were, she decided against it. `Uh… Shizune DID always say I shouldn't work too hard… and she has so much free time I'm sure she wouldn't mind helping me later on… heh heh heh.'

 

Instead, she went into her secret stash of sake hidden behind the portraits of the late hokages, and started drinking. While sitting at her desk, she began reminiscing the times she spent with Naruto, from the first time they met, to all the happy and sad times they had together.

 

Next thing she knew, she was out like a light bulb. She never expected what was coming for her when she woke up, other than the major hang over that she was ready to expect.

 

Elsewhere

 

The weather was beautiful and warm. The sun was up, there were a few clouds drifting lazily across the sky. A slight breeze came into Konoha every so often. Children were out playing; there was no school that day. Some of the adults joined them; others preferred to stay at home to enjoy the peace and quiet. And of course, there were the few unlucky ones who needed to work twice as hard as others just to make a living, but they weren't complaining. The day was beautiful. They feel lucky just to be alive and so make their work all the more enjoyable.

 

One particular boy, though, did not seem to notice the beautiful weather, or the loud cries of happy children, or the soft laughter of the adults. No, this boy was lost in his mind, thinking about a certain blonde with his head down, a sign of defeat. In his hand, was a letter left by the golden haired boy. He kept rereading it until it was imprinted to his head, and left forever I his heart.

 

Neji.

 

How can I say this… Well, first of all, I want to thank you for being such a pal. You were always there for me, ready to help me when you can and always ready to back me up when I needed it. I truthfully and whole-heartedly appreciate it and thank you from the bottom of my heart (heh… don't I sound corny?).

 

By the time you're reading this letter, I'm already gone to my next mission. This mission is highly classified, and so I can't tell you anything about this mission or where I am. The mission, Tsunade-sama says, may last me from 5 months to perhaps a year. Either way, I won't be seeing you or anyone else for a while. That is why I'm writing this letter, since I was not able to say a proper good-bye.

 

When I return, I may not be the same anymore. And for sure, there will be no more of Sasuke and me.

 

At this point, Neji would always stop to think about it. They were no more? How could this be? Did they not love each other to death? What's happened…?

 

All these thoughts would run through his head before he finishes the letter.

 

If you or any of the others are curious as to why we are no more, you may go ahead and ask him. Just know that neither of us will ever be anymore than perhaps acquaintances. Did this confuse you even more? Heh. Don't worry. I'm sure you'll find out soon.

 

I've always, and still do, think of you only as a good friend Neji. Move on. You and I will be nothing more than friends. If you expected me not to catch you starring my way every so often, the way you seem to always interrupt Sasuke and I, or your sudden appearances when I train as to be just a coincidence, you must have mistaken me for someone else or a fool.

 

If you thought there might be something between you and me now that the Uchiha is gone, I'm sorry to say but you're dead wrong.

 

I know you can find someone way better than me, Neji. Just give some time to look around you. You're surrounded by beauty all over Konoha.

 

Naruto

 

 

`You are correct when you say that I happen to `stare' your way every so often, that I just enjoy ruining that Uchiha's moments with you, and that I love to watch you train… but one thing you're wrong about, is that I will never find someone as good or even better than you, Naruto.'

 

Flahsback

 

It had to have happened at least a couple of years ago, when we got Sasuke back home, and everyone were slowly recovering from the hard, long mission.

 

It was another one of those nights. The night where you have the most horrible nightmare, and can't go back to sleep in fear that it will happen again and that you can never wake up this time.

 

That was what went through Hyuuga Neji's head as he strolled around Konoha, away from the Hyuuga house (A/N: -cough-mansion-cough-), enjoying the peaceful, warm summer night air, the glow of the moon and the soft twinkling of the stars.

 

The nightmare that he just had happened every night since he came back home. It was when he thought he lost everyone in the fight to retrieve Sasuke. (2)

 

In his dream, everyone were tired and weak, they couldn't even stand up by themselves. The Sound Nins were standing around them, giving everyone a malicious grin before attacking. One of them held him back using some sort of paralysis jutsu, so all he could do was stare and cry slowly as one of them ripped Kiba to shreds, buried Chouji in mounds of dirt all around him before making it all sink to the ground, punctured Shikamaru with hundreds of kunais, and then, they were at Naruto.

 

They were merciless. Neji tried to scream; yet nothing would come out of his mouth. In the dream, he saw them beating up Naruto, saw them tear at him using a blunt kunai over and over again, and watched them as they twisted his arms in a way that was not meant to be. They were breaking him, Neji knew that, and yet he couldn't do anything.

 

Throughout the entire torture, Naruto was screaming, crying, begging them to stop, and bleeding profusely. Finally, he would look at Neji, with pain-filled eyes, not saying anything, but those eyes said it all. They were asking him why he was just watching. Why wasn't he trying to help him? Why? And then they burned with hatred before becoming dull lifeless blue.

 

Neji would try to scream again and again, but nothing would come out. Before the nightmare would end, the bodies of Shikamaru, Chouji and Kiba would stand all around him, asking him why he didn't save Naruto, why he let him die.

 

And then he'd wake up.

 

Although he knew it was a nightmare, it did nothing to ease the pain he felt in his heart when he saw those hateful eyes in his dream. He knew he was weak. Naruto, everyone, got hurt because he was weak.

 

When he came back to reality, he found himself deep in the forest. It was a good thing that it was a full moon that night, or else he wouldn't have been able to see anything in front of him.

 

An owl hooted, small animals were heard rustling throughout the forest. It was truly a peaceful night. Then, he felt it. A huge amount of chakra exploded, causing the animals to quickly scurry away. Neji was shocked. He recognized this chakra signature belonging to the one and only Uzumaki Naruto, yet, how was it possible that all this chakra he was feeling belonged to him? And so, out of curiosity, Neji went to investigate.

 

And there, he saw it. A truly amazing site, if Neji ever saw one. Standing in the middle of a circle of at least thirty Naruto's, was Naruto himself, panting, and sweating heavily while the rest were in better shape than him. All around him was what was left of that part of the forest. Trees were broken in half or shattered to no repair, big craters all around the ground and weapons everywhere.

 

`It looks like a war zone. I wonder what Naruto has been doing training in the middle of the night for?'

 

The boy was covered in sweat, and since the moon was so bright it shined off of him, making him glow softly. He was naked from the waist up, clad only in a pair of light and casual black pants that looked ready to fall any minute. His usual bright spiky blonde hair was just a mop on his head, clinging to his face and covering his eyes because of the sweat. He was quite a site to behold.

 

And then, the fight started. Neji didn't see when Naruto caught his breath, he only saw one clone advance towards Naruto, jumping above the boy, and all the others followed. Neji didn't think Naruto had enough time to dodge all those clones, and was about ready to jump in when the exhausted boy suddenly disappeared.

 

It was so fast that Neji didn't see, and then there was a `poof' and several more `poof's following the first one, as clone after clones disappeared. The entire place slowly became cloudy and misty, and only a minute later it cleared, revealing two more Naruto's standing. Both were panting lightly and sweating. Neji couldn't tell which one was the original and which was the clone.

 

Then, just as suddenly, both disappeared, and once again Neji wasn't able to see. It was that fast. Something he knew only Gai and Lee could do.

 

`I…I've never seen Naruto move that fast before… How could this be…? I knew he improved greatly since we returned, but I never though it could be this much.'

 

As suddenly as they disappeared, they reappeared out of nowhere, both with a kunai at each hand. It was like a dance, watching them go around each other as they did. They were graceful, but at the same time oh so dangerous. They swirled past one another, each throwing well-aimed kunais at their opponent (A/N: which, funny, happened to be themselves XD), and jumped apart once again.

 

One was standing in a nonchalant pose while the other was in a defense position. The one in the defense position looked tired and ready to give up while the other one stood there calmly and did not look the least bit tired. In fact, he looked energetic and well prepared for any fight. If it were not for the sweat that glistened his body, one would not have known that he just went through a hard work out.

 

End Flashback

 

It was weird, seeing Naruto fighting so seriously with himself. I for one never knew the guy had it in him to be smart enough to make a Kage Bunshin as his sparring partner. And even if he did, who would have expected him to go all out on a bunshin as if it was a real opponent?

 

After that night, I realized just how different the Naruto training by himself was compared to the Naruto we see everyday.

 

After that night, I decided never to look down on Naruto ever again.

 

Flashback

 

The Naruto that stood calmly suddenly closed his eyes, as if forgetting his opponent was there at all. He made a few quick hand seals that Neji could not see properly because it was too fast and the moon was hidden behind a cloud at that moment. Then, coming from Naruto's shadow, there appeared three long black swords coming from the earth. All three were as black as charcoal, and yet you could see your reflection off them.

 

Using his right hand, Nartuo took the shadow sword from the middle and held it facing down, still with his eyes closed. The other two swords on either side of him were slowly morphing into human figures and then they sank back to the earth.

 

The fatigue Naruto gave a look of surprise and a hint of fear before jumping on top a nearby tree, holding a kunai on both hand and one in his mouth. He was just starting to do his own hand seals before he stopped suddenly.

 

Neji was surprised until he saw why he stopped. Coming out from the shadow of the Naruto on the tree was one of the humanoid shadows. There was another one that came from the shadow of the tree leaves and it was holding onto the shadow the Naruto on the tree. The other shadow just stood there, as if waiting for a command, since he was not fully out of the shadow from the Naruto on the tree.

 

The relaxed Naruto gave a smirk before throwing his shadow sword on his double. For fear that the one being held captive was the real Naruto, Neji tried to jump out, only to realize there was a Naruto clone there holding him back. When he looked back, he saw the shadow sword connect with the other Naruto, just to have it disappear and a log took its place.

 

The Naruto gave Neji a wink before `poof'ing, going back to the fight he was having with the other Naruto that was still standing.

 

After a bit more sparring, the once calm and relaxed Naruto finally beat the other Naruto. Whether he knew Neji was there or not he did not show. Instead, he walked deeper into the forest until his back to Neji was gone. It was almost dawn. Neji realized how tired he was and left, dreaming of the fight he witnessed that night, and how he would love it if he were able to train with him.

 

End Flashback

 

Ever since that night, Neji began to pay more and more attention to the blonde. He found out things the blonde liked, disliked, the way he fought, and exactly who the `real' Uzumaki Naruto was.

 

Neji was one of the first to find out. And Naruto told him himself, making Neji feel all the more happy and closer to the young man. Perhaps that was why he could not forget him. Naruto was the first to kick his ass, the first to teach him how meaningful life is, and one of the first people who forced Neji to acknowledge him, in both strength and intelligence.

 

When Neji looked at his surroundings, he realized he standing in the middle of the park entrance. All around him, he noticed the children and adults laughing and running around. He noticed the flowers growing nearby in a variety of colours, the gentle swaying of trees, the awesome weather and the bright warm sun.

 

Neji smiled.

 

“Again, you're right. I truly am surrounded by beauty all over Konoha.”

 

Neji laughed an continued strolling all over Konoha.

 

Later in the day though, hell will break loose, for the boy will find himself and what's left of the Rookie 9 in front of Tsunade's office. All demanding the same thing. All will receive the same answer and the same feeling. And all will be looking for a certain Uchiha. THEN all hell will break loose.

 

 

Back in Lightning Country

 

“Hey Itachi.”

 

“Yes Naruto-kun?”

 

“You got anywhere to stay tonight?”

 

Both men were still at the bar, musing in their own thoughts before Naruto popped the question to Itachi, who gave the boy (`Correction, `young man'') a once over.

 

“Of course I have somewhere to rest.”

 

“Really? Where?”

 

“Wherever you're going.”

 

“…Would you like to run that by me again?”

 

Itachi gave him one of his secretive smirks.

 

“What I mean, Naruto-kun, is that wherever you'll be staying, I'm coming along with you, whether you like it or not. We're partners, remember?”

 

And so the two hot young men went to a cheap motel to spend the night in, where Itachi made many moves on Naruto before Naruto finally gave in and they made love all day and night, entirely forgetting the mission.

(A/N: Jokes.)

 

Naruto gazed back at him calmly, while inside he felt his heart speeding up by a small notch. Why though, he doesn't know himself. Perhaps it was the idea of spending the night and (maybe) many nights afterwards with the Akatsuki member, who resembles so much like his ex lover.

 

“I have not forgotten, Itachi-kun, but even if we are partners it doesn't mean we have to be stuck together all the time does it? I mean, we can both take care of ourselves, so the idea of two separate rooms isn't such a bad idea.”

 

“That's true. But think about it. If either one of us were to be `somehow' in danger during the night, wouldn't it be better having two people than one in a room? Does the thought of spending the night with me bother you that much, Naruto-kun?”

 

Hell yeah!!! I won't let you lay a finger on my precious kit, you perverted ped-

 

`Kyuubi! It's okay! Really! Let me handle it.'

 

How can I let you handle it when you're about to give in to him!?

 

`Well, if you think about it, it won't cost as much. Tsunade baba didn't give me much to spend, remember? Besides, if anything does happen, having Itachi around probably wouldn't be THAT bad or bothersome. And, you know he's quiet most of the time. Besides, I'm sure we can mooch off him since he's bound to have more money than us.'

 

…It makes sense…but I still don't feel comfortable kit…

 

`Come on. If anything happens to me, big old furry Kyuubi is always there for me, right? Ain't I right, you big old hairy fur ball?'

 

I'm going to kill you.

 

`Well, you can't, so nya hah hah!!'

 

(Silence)

 

`HAH! I win.'

 

Naruto suddenly felt a sharp pinch on his arm. When he became focused once again, he sees Itachi's face right in front of his own. The shock causes to lose balance, thus falling hard on the floor, bum first.

 

“…Ow…”

 

Itachi takes one look at the injured blond and breaks out snickering.

 

“Okay. Still waiting for help. Anytime now.”

 

The sound of snickering continues.

 

Naruto lies there on the floor; unable to move yet as the pain from his butt slowly dulls. He gave Itachi one of his most un-amused glares ever.

 

“…Bastard…”

 

“My apologies (snicker). Here, give me your hand.”

 

“About time…”

 

Itachi's hand wrapped around Naruto's smaller one, and Naruto suddenly felt warmth spread through his entire arm and then all over his body, giving it a tingly sensation, until it reached his toes.

 

Itachi gave him a hard tug, and since Naruto was still absorbed in the tingly sensation he was feeling, his legs were unsteady enough for him to stand, therefore he fell against Itachi's chest heavily, causing them both to fall on the floor, with Naruto on top.

 

At once, both thought the same thing about their new position.

 

`This feels oddly nice…'

 

(A/N: I WAS going to end it here, but I feel bad for not having updated in so long, so I'm going to extend this chapter a lot more. Just to satisfy both me and my readers.)

 

Naruto scrambled back to his face, with a beet red face. In the background, catcalls were heard, and some not so nice comments (hint: fairies, rooms, and homosexuality) that neither man took notice of it.

 

Itachi got up by himself, dusted away some invisible dust particles in his clothing, and gave a gentle smile to Naruto.

 

`I have never seen him smile so much before. I wonder is it because he does not have to act like a murderer or a cold hearted bastard in front of everyone, for once?'

 

“Well, this has been interesting. Shall we look for a place to stay now, or perhaps you prefer the outdoors?”

 

The atmosphere felt comfortable once again. Naruto was able to give off his own grin before marching out the door, calling behind his back, “I'm in for a room and board anytime! Come on! Move your skinny ass!”

 

Still smiling his secret smile, Itachi followed him out.

 

`Someday Naruto-kun. Someday…'

 

In the end, they both decided to stay in the cheap but nicely furnished motel, where they were provide two beds, drawers, cabinets, a washroom and a TV using Kazuma's money (The stupid old drunk who tried to make a move on Naruto a few chapters ago), since it was enough to spend for the night.

 

Konoha

 

“Akira!”

 

The young blonde woman gasped, when she was finally able to look at her abductor.

 

The man was probably in his early twenties. He was tall, a little bit muscular, wearing a pair of brown cargo pants, normal sandals, and a black shirt with a vest over it. He was pale with long black hair tied in a loose ponytail, and startling indigo eyes.

 

(A/N: How they ever thought they were going to trick Sasuke when the baby was born is beyond me. They probably hoped that it would look more like Mia maybe?)

 

“Hey babe. Missed me?”

 

“What are you doing? Can't you see I'm busy?”

 

“No. All I see is my woman skipping around like she's on crack, carrying little bags of who-knows-what to Kami-knows-where.”

 

“Uchiha Sasuke has asked me to move in with him. I'm off to my new home right now, so if you excuse me, I think the exit is that way.”

 

“Whoa whoa whoa… where's the rush? I haven't seen my woman in so long, and I get brushed off just like that? Sorry babe. Don't think so.”

 

Akira grabbed her by the shoulders, before gently pushing her (hard) against the wall. He started kissing her, and when she resisted, he started going for her neck.

 

“Akira! Stop it! Let go of me!!”

 

Akira ignored her; instead, one hand started grabbing her breasts while the other hand began to slowly untie her top.

 

With her two hands loose, Mia tried to push Akira away, dropping all her bags. But it was useless. Akira was just too strong for her.

 

Mia felt the hardness between Akira's legs pressing hard against her thigh. With as much strength as she can get while stuck between a wall and a horny man, Mia kneed Akira. Hard.

 

All she got from her action was a moan from Akira.

 

“Like that baby…”

 

Mia continues to struggle even though she knew it's all in vain. When her top was almost completely removed, Mia was saved.

 

First, Mia felt the weight of Akira quickly lifted off her body. She was afraid to see what was happening, so she kept her eyes shut. She heard the sounds of flesh hitting flesh, a small cry, a painful moan, and finally a heavy `thump' before silence.

 

When she finally looked up, it was none other than Sasuke himself.

 

Mia blinks rapidly, to make sure her eyes were not deceiving her, before smiling widely at her savior. It was too bad she didn't notice the unusual cold look Sasuke was giving her.

 

“Sasuke-kun! You saved me! Thank you!!”

 

Mia ran towards the young man, but was quickly shoved away. She tripped on a random rock, and fell on her ass.

 

“Ow!! Sasuke-kun! That hurts!! Did you go through short-term memory? Have you forgotten I'm pregnant with -”

 

“Fuck off. I have not forgotten you are pregnant, but since it's not mine I can care less, you lying, disease-spreading whore.”

 

Mia finally looked at the face of the young man, finally noticing the hard, disgusted look he was giving her, and felt fear crawl all over her skin.

 

“S-sa…Sasuke…?”

 

Sasuke's P.O.V.

 

So I followed the two into the alley. I had to see what was up. Though I am disgusted and pissed at Mia, I had to know what would become of her. Maybe I'll feel better watching her in pain?

 

Sounds sadistic, I know, but I was downright pissed. I couldn't help the feeling that came over me. Like how I couldn't help the feeling of loneliness and a hint of sadness when I realized Naruto will be gone from my life forever.

 

Anyways, back to the present.

 

I see that it was a man that dragged Mia into the alley. I had blended in very well with my surroundings, so I was able to approach the two within hearing range and without them noticing me. From Mia's exclamation, I realized that this man was Akira.

 

Well, things didn't seem to be doing so well for Mia (serves her right). I would have left and let it continue if the scene did not disgust me more than it should have. It was these kinds of men in Konoha and in other countries that young boys and girls were kidnapped, raped, and sometimes left for dead. Even though Mia was a whore, and she should be able to withstand the abuse (probably), I couldn't help myself.

 

I came out of the shadows and grabbed Akira by the shadows. Before he was able to see who I was, I quickly punched him in the face, followed by several more punches in the body and stomach region. Eventually, he fainted halfway through my beating session with him.

 

And then I saw her.

 

Still sitting on the floor, half naked and disheveled, marks all the top half of her body, eyes closed. When she opened them, all I see was confusion, a little bit of fear, and then gladness. It was etched all over her face.

 

I did not know why, but as she approached me with her half undressed state, it made me sick. Pushing her away was my only option. As long as she was kept away from me I felt better.

 

Normal P.O.V

 

“I know the truth Mia. There's no use lying to me anymore.”

 

“But…but Sasuke! Even if this baby is not yours, I still want to be with you!”

 

“Maybe you do, but I don't. I have a higher say in this, because you're a whore and pregnant with someone else's baby. You want support? Either find one of your old `friends' or even some other lover you're slept with recently. Maybe they'll believe you told them you were pregnant with their child. I for one won't believe it anymore. We're through, Mia.”

 

Mia was still on the ground, tears pouring freely from her eyes as she looked straight into the eyes of the young Uchiha heir with all the emotions showing on her face and eyes. Sasuke, having made up his mind, stared back at Mia with no emotions, no feeling even as he looked into the eyes of the young but desperate woman. Then, he turned away from her and started walking out of the exit, without giving a second glance to the broken woman.

 

“You come near me or my house ever again, I will have the Konoha elites arrest you and keep you away from me permanently. Good day.”

 

Mia still hasn't left her spot even after Sasuke disappeared from her sight. Twenty minutes later, she slowly gathered her belongings and fixed herself before leaving the alley, without a second glance at Akira.

 

“Uchiha Sasuke… you will pay for my pain. You alone will pay.”

 

While walking out of the alley and plotting sweet revenge upon Sasuke, Mia did not see a runaway cart heading towards her. When she does it was too late. She was run over, head first. She was brought to the hospital where the doctors told her, when she woke up, that she lost both her baby and her arm from the accident. Saddened by her loss, Mia became a nun, starting anew, thinking God was angry with her, and the only way to repent her sins may be serving Him for the rest of her life.

 

All the while, others continued on with their lives, barely noticing the disappearance of a young blond woman.

 

(A/N: Probably not a good ending for Mia, but until I think of a better way for her to disappear I'm not going to change this ending XP)

 

 

NEXT CHAPTER!

 

“Where's Naruto?”

 

“Why would you care, Uchiha?”

 

“Because I… I…” `I need him…'

 

Itachi kisses Naruto sloppily against his lips, holding both wrists down on the bed and apart from each other.

 

“What the FUCK do you think you're doing, Uchiha?” Itachi, drunk and unable to make sense of what was going on, stumbled on his words, but a grin appeared on his face none the less, “I'm kissing you, dumbass. What does it look like?”

 

 

Akuryou no Ryuichi: akuryou - evil spirit and I got Ryuichi from Gravitaion…it's a cool name ne? XD

 

Ya… when they were going after Sasuke the first time he left to follow Orochimaru… I just cut it and said that he was rescued. It's too long if he wasn't =_=
