Here I Fall

A/N: Important before reading! First of all, this my first ff ever. Therefore I am begging for you guys to keep the flames to a minimum. Its a learning process ok? Secondly, I am wayyyyy behind on Naruto. I've probably only seen a couple of Shippuden episodes. I work two jobs, and up until recently, was going to school, consequently, I never had time to sit down and read the manga or watch the anime. I barely have time to eat or sleep sadly :( That being said, you will notice that my story deviates from actual events. The reason for this, I simply don't know what has happened so far. In my story, years have passed since Naruto and Sakura first "reunited" with Sasuke. Sasuke has already killed Itachi. For my story the characters are roughly 23 now. There will be timeline flaws but please bare with me. Ok enough with the boring crap, on with the story...

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto.

This will be all over soon..
Pour salt into the open wound..
Is it over yet? In my head..
I'm going all the way, get away

Please...
You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my
heart should be..
Is it over yet?..
I can't win.

Ch. 1

Cold soulless eyes gazed at an invisible spot on the wall as their owner pounded relentlessly into the flushed body underneath. "Uchiha-sama! Mmgh!" the girl cried. Azumi or was it Akuma? Who cared? Surely not the man in question, he simply continued his erratic pace, his mind barely registering his body's actions.

"Uch..iha-sama! P-p-lease! Ahh!" she screamed again. "Tch." 'How annoying'.. He thought. Why he even bothered with such nuisances was beyond him. He had needed to vent frustration, as all the other times he engaged in sex. It was always used as a means to relieve some kind of stress nothing more. Even when he would find his release, he never was completely satisfied.

He remembered a time when he was hell bent on revenge against Itachi, sex was the furthest thing on his mind. It was a waste of time, pointless. It was then that people started questioning his sexuality and his assets, or, as they had put it, 'lack of'. He, THE Uchiha Sasuke, gay? Or worse, SMALL? It almost defied the laws of physics. He was very much well endowed and cringed at the thought of being touched or touching another man in a less than appropriate way. He simply never felt the need to engage in that sort of activity. Now, he had endless amounts of time on his hands. His activities were to simply pass the time. Of course he never went looking for it but rather, bimbos just dropped from the sky, all intent on landing on his member...

He found it ludicrous that people believed sex was an act of love. After all there was no such thing as love, and if there were, he certainly didn't want anything to do with it. All it did was conjure memories.. Useless, dark, haunting memories.. Memories of blood spattered walls and floors.. His erratic pounding stopped for a fraction of a second but picked up just as quickly. His pace quickened as he threw his whole body into his task, ignoring the girl's weak protests.

"Uchiha-sama! T-t-o-o r-r-ough! Ahhh!" She clawed at his toned biceps, yet despite her verbal protests; her inner walls began contracting signaling her fast approaching end. "Uchi- mmmph!" Sasuke stopped her inane screeching with a hand over her mouth. His obsidian eyes glared down at her, "Shut. Up" he commanded. "Mmmpfrg" came her muffled reply. He lowered his hand only to wrap it around her frail neck and squeezed. Her eyes bulged out of their sockets in a panicked fear. He squeezed harder as he felt her walls clutching him in a death grip. She started struggling for breath, her eyes begging him to stop. He didn't, instead adding more pressure around her throat.

All he could see was the blood.. The blood that painted the once pristine walls an angry red.. His hand clenched tighter. Why couldn't memories be this easy to erase? Why couldn't he hold them in his strong grasp and squeeze until they disappeared just like the girl beneath him? His anger bubbled to the surface and he thrust harder, her release came instantly. A few hard thrusts and he found his own as he ripped himself out of her and spilled his seed onto her stomach. His eyes shut in a tortured expression yet not from pleasure but from the silent resignation that the memories would always haunt him... He slowly released the girl's throat, leaving deep purple and red finger imprints. She coughed and sucked in air greedily. Before she could question his actions, he threw her clothes at her and all but growled, "Leave." She opened her mouth to protest, but he simply raised an eyebrow, daring her to challenge him. She grabbed her clothes, bowed to him and ran silently out the door, leaving the man alone to fend off the never ending tortuous memories...

Strong hands clenched into tight fists, slammed down, leaving small cracks on the oak surface in their wake. "NO! Absolutely not!", Naruto roared, fury blazing in his cerulean eyes. Emerald orbs shut briefly as the pink haired woman sighed softly. To say she wasn't expecting this reaction would have been a blatant lie. Opening her eyes she spoke slowly and calmly, almost as if she were addressing a small child, "There is no other choice Naruto". "But Sakura! We- THEY can't! I won't let them!" He objected. "Naruto, there is nothing you can do. Even as hokage, the elders' word is final.." She took a deep breath before speaking those words again, "They have ordered Sasuke Uchiha's annihilation." Gritting his teeth to the point that Sakura feared he'd cause permanent damage, Naruto tried in vain to rein in his anger. "What is the point of being hokage if I can't even save the teme? Not only that but they've chosen YOU! You of all people! How could- !"

"I am only the leader of one of the three special teams being assigned to this mission. As I've said, there is nothing we can do." Sakura replied calmly. She hoped that if she repeated this line long enough to herself and others, she might start to believe it. 'There was nothing she could do'.. "But Sakura! How can you accept this! Why? Sasuke is- "

"Is a criminal Naruto. He is no longer our teammate or friend. He must be stopped and if that is the only way, then so be it." Her green eyes gave away no emotion, remaining frozen as she spoke those cold words. Naruto felt numb with shock, how could she? He knew she had suffered more than anyone else when Sasuke left. He knew she refused to let her pain show. And he knew she would have done anything, given anything to have him return. But to have her give up was unthinkable. He hadn't thought her capable of it. She was stronger than that. "S-s-sa-kura.." He began. "Don't."She cut him off. "Just don't Naruto... Gomen but you have to accept it."

She turned to leave, deciding he needed to maul things over; after all, it was a pretty nasty pill to swallow. Not to mention, she no longer wished to see Naruto's pained expression. She couldn't take the waves of confusion and sadness that radiated off of him. She began to feel suffocated in the seemingly tiny office. She resisted the urge to break into a run and instead eased her way towards the exit. Lost in his own thoughts, Naruto didn't notice her attempt at fleeing. It wasn't until the door almost shut behind her, that he heard her parting words, "I gave up on him a long time ago. As should you…."
