Percheur J'aime Chapter One: Escape

A/N: Yep, this is it. My DeiSaku story! The title, Percheur J'aime is French for Sinners Love. This story going to be rated M for violence, drug abuse, and probably smut. This is going to be my first story with smut, so I might not be all that good at it; even though I have read a lot of it. :D But, that'll be later in the story.

EDIT: This will not be a DEISAKU. It's going to be a NejiSaku, so, yeah. So sorry if I confused you, I'm a woman, we change our minds alot. BUT, there is going to be a sequel after this story. -CoughDeiSakuCough- Again, so sorry for the notice.

Disclaimer: I will never, ever, ever own Naruto. He is Kishimoto's.

Here you go, enjoy!

Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!

Sakura put her pale locks up in a loose bun and sighed. Inhaled the unwanted smoke from the other room. She was tired of it. Living with Sasuke. All he ever did was smoke illegal drugs and drink his hearts content out. Hell, she couldn't remember the last time he was sober. They had been married for two years now, it had been great the first few months, but then everything crashed. One of his friends that she didn't know about, introduced him into drugs. Such as; meth, marijuana, amphetamines, and some stuff she didn't even know about. One thing he had also showed him was overdosing. She knew he loved her, but he loved them much more. She didn't love him anymore.

She put some black mascara and some light charcoal eye shadow on; she was meeting Naruto at Ichiraku. She wore her usual black shorts, but without the skirt, a light white tank top, and some ankle-high sandals. He hadn't invited her; she invited him. So, she picked up her purse with the money for ramen in it, and walked out of the bathroom; holding her breath.

"Honey I'm leaving to meet Naruto at Ichiraku," she paused, "I'll be back in an hour or two." she shouted to her husband, who was in his room.

"Okay, love you." a slurred reply came back to her.

She sighed, opened the door, and left.

It was at least ten o' clock when she left the house. She thought about the conversation with Sasuke, when he had fist started trashing himself.

Flashback:

"Sakura. Come here." he had slurred.

She soundlessly replied and walked into the bedroom and got on the bed with him. A bottle a dark liquor next to him, along with bags of only god-knows-what tobacco.

He took another long swig of the liquor before speaking, "You cannot tell Naruto, Kakashi, Ino, or anyone about this. No one. Okay?" he had said softly.

She frowned and nodded, "I understand."

He cupped her face and smiled, "I'll quit… someday. So don't worry. Please." then he had kissed her.

End of flashback.

She could still taste that disgusting liquor on her lips and tongue.

Then a very loud and obnoxious, "Sakura-chan!" broke her of her thoughts.

She smiled and jogged a little to get over to him. He smiled, got up, and hugged her tightly. She sat down at the stool next to him after they broke apart.

Then he had a concerned look on his face, "Why did you invite me to dinner, Sakura-chan?" he asked her.

"Naruto… there's something I need to tell you." she said with a frown.

His eyes immediately widened, "What? Don't tell me… are you cheating on Sasuke-teme?!"

She quickly replied before he could go on with his own assumption, "No, no, no! I would never do that Naruto! But, it is about Sasuke…" she paused and sighed, "He never wanted me to tell you this but… it's about time that I do. He smokes, not just cigarettes; but meth, marijuana, and stuff that I don't even know about. He also drinks, a lot. I can't even remember the last time he was sober. I can't live with that anymore! I'm sick and tired of it…" she could feel the warm tears that slipped down her face. She had never cried about it, but now it finally broke. She knew her mascara was smudging; but she didn't care.

Naruto was enraged. She could see the red chakra surrounding him, his fangs and claws grew, and his eyes were a crimson color instead of cheery blue. "How DARE HE!" he screamed in anger.

She instantly flew out of her seat and embraced him; to calm him down. He could feel the hot tear seep inside of his cloth, dampening it slightly. She felt his chakra soothe and he finally wrapped his arms around her. And what he felt was terrible; he felt her tears first off, her shaking, and he could hear her sobbing. He had never wanted to see Sakura like this. Ever. So, he held her, and he held her tightly.

"Sakura…" he started, "I'm so sorry… how long has he been doing this fucking shit?" he asked angrily; but not towards her, towards Sasuke.

"About five months after our… marriage." she managed to answer between sobs.

Naruto growled, "Bastard." he said simply before speaking again, "What are you going to do?"

She took a deep breath of fresh air, "Divorce. He still loves me, but I don't love him. Because, he doesn't love me as much." she explained, "But there is one more thing…"

"You don't know where to go." he finished for her, "You can stay with me and Hinata-chan," he offered nicely.

They finally broke the bone-crushing hug. She smiled, "Thank you, Naruto. But, I don't want to get in the way-" he interrupted her.

"No, no! You won't! In fact, you can hang out with that Neji-bastard." he suggested, with his trademark fox-grin.

She rolled her eyes and grinned back, "Fine. I'll move in in about three days or so,"

Naruto practically jumped for joy, "Okay, we'll get a room ready for you!" he said before lunging for her, again.

She laughed softly and hugged him back. "I have to go now. Love ya Naruto."

He let go of her before replying, "Love ya too, Sakura-chan. See you in three days!" he chirped excitedly.

She giggled and waved. He waved back energetically. Then, she turned around and sighed. Naruto is too good to me.

She stepped on the front porch of the Uchiha Manor; her house. Then her heart sank, as it did every time she entered. The ghastly smell of smoke, and alcohol. It sickened her mind to even think about inhaling that crap, while drinking alcohol. This was what she needed to get away from.

She got her keys out and unlocked the door. When she entered, her eyes burned, and she almost choked on the sent compared to ramen. It was also hot, muggy, and humid, which made it much worse.

"Hey, I'm back." she was able to say.

"Mm." was all he said, or grunted.

After that, she walked to the bedroom; where he was located. And as she walked there, the sent was becoming thicker, and thicker. She held her nose and prayed that she could hold her breath for as long as she had to talk to him. She opened the door to see Sasuke in his usual spot; his desk, with bags and alcohol bottles in front of him. He turned his head to see who was entering.

"I need to talk to you." she said sternly.

He turned to sit on his chair backwards, so he was facing her. He raised his eyebrows, as if saying to go ahead and talk.

She cleared her throat, "It's about that," she said, pointing to the bottles and bags. "I'm sick and tired of it. The stench makes me want to puke in my sleep. So, I'm moving in with Naruto and Hinata. Even Tsunade is asking about my health, because of all the second hand smoke, my health has been fucked up! And, I have to lie to her every time she asks me! That is why I'm leaving. I still love you, but not enough to risk my life… I'm sorry." she finished.

And she was really surprised, he wasn't angry… just surprised. Then, finally, he sighed, "I understand… I think. Are we still going to be married?" he asked.

"No. We're going to be nothing more than friends, I'm afraid." her head was down and her hands were clasped together tightly. She bit her lip before speaking again, "I'm packing my stuff tonight and leaving." she informed him, with a small scowl.

He simply nodded and turned back around. After that, she went to the closet to gather her clothes, accessories, and special trinkets. She crammed them all into a small suitcase. It was way too small, but it had managed to fit almost every one of her items. She left a few behind; things that she didn't need.

She turned back to her ex-husband, "I guess this is it."

He turned to face her again, "Can I have one last kiss?" he slurred.

She soundlessly nodded and walked towards him. Then, he placed his lips on hers, in a hungry, last kiss. She could taste what alcohol and what smoke that was in his mouth. He wrapped his arms around her possessively and held her tight. She put her arms around his neck lightly, massaging his tensed muscles. He wasn't a half bad kisser when he was drunk, actually, he was pretty good.

She broke the kiss slowly, feeling it was getting out of hand. She saw the sorry look on his face, so she hugged him. He dug his nose right below her ear.

"I'll miss this…" he said in her ear.

She shook her head, "No. You won't, Sasuke."

"…"

"I think it's time for me to leave." she said coldly.

They broke apart and he looked at her in the eyes. His dark onyx eyes were filled with emotion, surprisingly. Mostly sadness, a little bit of anger was in there too.

"Bye, Sasuke." she finally said, then started walking backwards.

"Au revoir, Sakura."

Sakura walked down the silent streets of Konoha, on her way to her new home. Hopefully Naruto would understand that she came early; she had no reason to leave two days later. Then, what caught her attention was a rumble of thunder a few miles away. She smirked; the rainy season was finally coming. She loved the rain, it took her away from her pain, and made her forget about Sasuke and his addictions. She also like how it gave her that thrilling cool sensation, it always made her smile. Then, she felt a large drop of rain land on her forehead. She closed her eyes and stopped for a moment; waiting patiently for the downpour to arrive. The rain started accumulate, so she continued on. And before she knew it, she was on the front steps of the Hyuuga Manor. She knocked a few times on the door.

She could hear the footsteps coming towards the door. It swung open and who stood there was, Hinata. She smiled, "Hi Sakura. You're two days early," she giggled.

Sakura smiled back, "Yeah, I had no real reason to stay there any longer."

"Come in and I'll get your room ready for you." she said quietly while also letting her inside.

After Hinata had let her in, Naruto had come out of their room to see who come over. When he saw it was Sakura, he beamed brightly and waved, before running up to give her a bone-crushing embrace. She smiled and rubbed up and down his back.

"Hey Naruto, sorry I came early. I guess I was sort of excited," she chuckled, then breaking up the tight hug.

He chuckled as well, "Don't apologize, Sakura. There's no need to."

"Your room is ready, Sakura!" she heard Hinata yell from the hallway.

Her and Naruto walked to see where her new room was located. And when they entered, the walls were white with an ivory strip leading down the middle, a plain futon, and dark wood drawers and vanity. It was plain, but nice.

"So where is Neji?" Sakura asked out of curiosity.

Hinata was first to speak, "He's out on an ANBU mission. He should be getting back later tomorrow, actually."

Sakura nodded, "Okay. And if he has any wounds, I can surly heal him. Oh, one more thing, where's you guys' room?"

"Right across from your room, and Neji's is next to your's." Naruto informed her, pointing to which room he as he went.

Sakura smiled warmly, "Alright guys. Thank you so much Hinata, Naruto. I owe you big time," she laughed lightly.

Hinata smiled back, "That's what friends are for. So you don't have owe us." she said putting a hand on her shoulder.

Sakura's smile widened, "Okay. I think I'm ready for bed." she finally mentioned.

Naruto and Hinata both nodded, then she walked off to her new bedroom. When she went in there, she set her clothes in her drawers, before changing into her pajamas. She wore just a simple baggy t-shirt and some boy shorts. She sighed, glad that every time she did sigh, she wouldn't have to breath in that vile sent with it. Now, she breathed in the sent of cleanness, like the smell that the sheets washed in.

Then, she went ahead and plopped down on the crisp, clean sheets of her futon. She wrapped the covers around her body and snuggled her nose into the pillow. She almost forgot, the lamp next to her so, she giggled then flicked it off. The light thunderstorm outside calmed her senses down, and eventually made her fall asleep.

The bright rays of sunshine woke her up this morning. She smiled and yawned before stretching out her lazy limbs. She looked around the room for a clock, and found one behind her, next to the lamp. It was 8:53 AM. She had always been an early riser. She gradually got up from the futon and walked down to the kitchen.

When she entered, she smelt ramen. Of course, Naruto wants ramen for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She thought, obviously amused. But she was surprised too; Naruto was up this early.

She smiled, "Good morning Naruto, Hinata."

Hinata looked away from the ramen to look at her, "Oh, good morning Sakura."

"Morning, Sakura." Naruto lazily replied, with his mouth full of ramen.

She rolled her eyes at him. Then, she sat down at the table.

"Want some, Sakura?" Hinata asked politely, pointing to the huge bowl of ramen.

"Sure, and don't worry, I'll get it myself." she replied, while getting up from her seat.

Then she quietly walked over to get a bowl; she knew where they were, sense she's been in Hinata's house before. She opened up the cabinet and pulled out a pristine white bowl. She was amazed; how can they keep this house so clean? She silently giggled, then putting a small portion of ramen in her bowl. After that, she walked back and sat down in her chair. She was accidentally taking a big bite of her ramen, then the door sung open; causing her to almost choke. She finished the huge bite, then she turned her head towards the door to see who just entered. It was Neji, coming back from his ANBU mission. He took off his dog-shaped mask and threw it on the couch. He looked over in the direction to where everyone was. He saw that Sakura was here.

"What brings you here, Sakura? Just coming over for a visit?" he asked out of curiosity.

Sakura swallowed; she was really nervous. But, Hinata answered before she could, "Um… Neji-san, I don't know what you'll think of this… but, she moved in." she could tell Hinata was also worried about what he would think of it.

He rose chestnut eyebrow, "How come?"

Naruto answered this time, "Because her so-called-husband Sasuke, loved the drugs and alcohol more than her. That bastard…" he trailed off.

This time Neji nodded, "Ah. Don't be worried; I don't have a problem with it."

Both Hinata and Sakura sighed in relief. Naruto just fox-grinned. Neji finished dusting himself off then sat at the only available seat left at the table; next to Sakura. She smiled slightly for a greeting, he nodded his head back. Hinata got up to get her cousin some breakfast. She served him up quite a large portion, because he came back from his mission.

"Thank you." he said quietly, then dug in.

After breakfast, Sakura got dressed in a white sundress that buttoned down, and it just barely came above her knees. She wore simple flip-flop type sandals to go with also. She wore her bubblegum pink hair in an simple up-do, with a few hair pins. She also repainted her nails, this time using a mint-green color. She was ready for whatever the day hit her with; she even had a spare kunai strapped on her thigh underneath the dress. You can never be too prepared.

She walked out into the living room; where Hinata, Neji, and Naruto were. It looked like Hinata and Naruto were having a pretty good conversation, while Neji just sat there and watched them. Naruto and Hinata glanced up to see who was entering the room, but went straight back to talking to each other. Neji also looked up, but just nodded for a greeting. She put a hand up, greeting him back. She sat at the opposite end of the couch, just sitting there like Neji; watching the conversation.

Neji's voice made her jump, "So, what drugs did Sasuke exactly do? If you don't mind me asking, of course." he added politely.

She smiled sympathetically, "It's alright to ask. The ones that I knew he did were crystal meth, marijuana, and even some that I didn't even know of. He also drank and overdosed; I'm surprised he's not dead by now," she laughed coldly.

Neji didn't know what to say, so he nodded. Now he knew the reason she moved here, earlier he didn't quite understand, even with what Naruto had said.

Sakura was practically brain dead from being bored, "I'm going for a walk." she decided suddenly, and she made sure everyone could hear her.

Hinata looked at her for a moment before speaking, "But it's about to rain, Sakura-san…" she said meekly.

Sakura waved her hand, "Oh, it's fine, I'll come home before it starts." after she said that, she got up and walked towards the shoji doors that lead outside.

She nodded, "Okay then. Be back soon, lunch will be ready at noon." she added lightly.

And after that, she left.

She would be fine, it was cloudy outside but not rainy yet. She knew it would rain, but only in about an two hours. She was only going to take an hour walk.

As soon as she got to the park, she smiled and sat down on a bench to look at all the nature surrounding her. She looked at the beautiful Sakura trees that started to bloom, all the carnations and lily flowers; spring was such a beautiful season. It was obviously her favorite. She breathed in and let out a pleasant sigh. As she looked up at the sky again, the clouds were fully covering over the sun. A few more moments won't hurt. She told herself mentally. Until, she felt a large raindrop land on her nose. Err… maybe not. She reconsidered.

Then, it started pouring.

"Shit." was all she had to say.

And after that, she took off as fast as she could on her feet; using chakra. But she was already soaked. She was now thinking that she should've listened to Hinata now. She was going to be totally mortified when she got home.

Curse the rainy season. I wasn't even out there for half an hour. Gosh.

She tried as quietly as she could to get in, so nobody would notice her getting in. She did, however, get in quietly, but they were all out in the living room, still. And what made things much worse for her was, they were all staring at her. She hated wearing this white dress now, because, she had a sage green bra underneath. Plus the fact, she was shivering. She wrapped her arms around herself and flushed. It wasn't too easy not to when you had three pairs of eyes staring at you, and two of which were men.

She swallowed deeply, "I'm going to change." she said softly, still blushing madly.

Their eyes silently followed her as she went, until they heard her shoji doors shut.

"Damn it Sakura! You really are an idiot!" she cursed herself, only whispering.

She found a pair of black shorts and sleeveless white tank with the Haruno symbol on the back. She also took down her almost drenched hair and combed it out. She was thankful that she only let it grow down a little bit past her shoulders. Then she walked out back into the living room. She looked over at the clock and found it was 10:13 AM. This time, only Neji was in there, Hinata and Naruto were preparing lunch in the kitchen.

Her gaze now changed over to Neji, who was still sitting quietly, "So, Neji. Do you have any wounds that need to be mended?"

He nodded his head slightly, "I have a gash in my arm, if you want to heal that."

"Okay."

Then he scooted over on the couch for her to get next to him. She pulled up on the sleeve of his t-shirt and saw a ghastly deep gash, she made a face; it was deep also. Then she put her hand on the wound lightly, making sure to put light pressure on there, then summoned chakra into her hand. He didn't even flinch. The healing process didn't even take ten minutes. She took her hand off of his bicep and nodded, as a gesture saying it was done.

"Thank you." he said softly.

Sakura smiled, "No problem. Its just what I do," she laughed lightly, and managed to get a crooked smile out of Neji himself.

"Lunch is ready!" Naruto called from the kitchen.

Sakura and Neji got up and walked towards the kitchen. It looked like they were having miso soup and a side of sushi. Hinata already had the plates set up and everything. This house was so organized.

"Thanks, Hinata, Naruto." Sakura smiled warmly.

Hinata beamed back, "It's nothing Sakura."

Sakura was surprised, she hadn't seen Hinata so, not shy. I guess after her and Naruto got married she lost her bashfulness. She thought they were a beautiful couple. Although, she felt sorry for Neji. Tenten was really the only woman in his life, and she had died about two years ago. Back then, he had been even more emotionless than she had ever seen him. She remembered Hinata telling her that he wouldn't come out of his room except for when he absolutely had to. It had been horrible for her too see. But, now he seemed to be getting better. Her and Hinata were both glad. She didn't even realize it, but she was smiling like an idiot right now.

Naruto looked at her curiously, "Sakura-chan, you alright?" he asked, concerned.

Sakura snapped out of her thoughts to Naruto's voice, "Oh sorry. Just spacing out there for a second," she giggled.

He nodded, but still looked at her suspiciously. After Hinata and Naruto sat down next to each other, she chose the seat across from Naruto. Neji sat down next to her. They talked on and off, mostly about nothing. It was peaceful. Sakura lost some of her nervousness that she had before about living in this house, now she knew everything would be fine.
