Entanglements of Love

Chapter one: The Ugly Truth

You didn't have to be a psychologist or detective to see that things were different between them. Ino could tell just by looking at him that he was a no good, cheating bastard.

Of course, what she didn't know or couldn't quite pin-point was how long he had been fooling around with another woman. There were never any clues or signs in her own home that she could find that would indicate the affair happening under her own roof, but she could feel it.

She could feel the insincerity in his kiss goodbye, the way he wouldn't make eye contact with her when they were in an embrace. Shikamaru had most definitely taken another lover, and after four years of marriage, Ino couldn't believe he would betray her that way.

"Bye Shikamaru!" She chimed as she hugged him at the door to see him off to work.

He hugged back with one arm, eyes unfocused and a little weary. "I'll see you later." He replied giving her a quick peck on the cheek.

"I love you." She said with a kind and rather warm smile, despite all the pain that was welling up inside of her.

"I love you too." He replied shortly. And with that, the man was off to his car and sped off before another word could be uttered.

She watched his car drive away before returning back inside their home and closing the door behind her. She was all smiles on the outside, but inside she was screaming. Desperate for an answer. Why?! Why would he do this? She argued internally. She needed him, she couldn't just let go of him. She loved him. Wholeheartedly, even though he didn't care about her heart or her feelings.

Giving her cheeks a good pinch, and drying her eyes, Ino put on a good face and continued what she normally did through the day. She kept her house immaculate for him. So she cleaned, did dishes and washed the cheating man's laundry. That's when she found her first clue. She was carrying a large load of laundry out of their bedroom, when she noticed a pink lacy pair of underwear fall gracefully to the floor, and they most certainly did not belong to her.

She dropped the entire pile of clothes at her feet and her suspicions were confirmed. There on the floor lay the scandalous proof that her husband was indeed cheating on her, and of course men don't usually notice details like what kind of underwear his wife or mistress may wear so how was he to know the difference.

Anger burned within Ino, after all she had done for him, she worked hard to stay beautiful and desirable, she kept the house clean, did his laundry, cooked for him, had sex with him when he wanted. And this was how he repaid her faithfulness and dedication?

With a strangled scream she kicked the laundry pile, sending articles of clothing all about their bedroom. She then proceeded to run down the hallway and knock every picture that hung there to the floor. The frames broke and the glass shattered after her, small pieces chasing her bare and dainty feet. Once she reached the living room she picked up their wedding album that lay poised on the coffee table and threw it as hard as she could at the window, cracking it. The book fell sloppily to the floor, face down.

Angry and hot tears began streaming down her fair cheeks and she grabbed her car keys from their hanging place by the door and she stormed out. Once in her car she slammed the door and begun to drive. She didn't have a specific destination in mind, she just drove.

It must've been thirty minutes before she realized just how far she had actually driven, her plan was to leave his sorry ass and never look back, but as she passed the wooden sign that stated she was now leaving Konoha, one very big factor brought itself to light.

"I can't raise this baby on my own..." And with that she turned the car around and drove back home.

Tenten looked through her wedding album sadly. Remembering the days when her and Neji were the happily married couple everyone envied. But a year into the marriage that's when everything turned.

One night Neji came home in raging drunk accusing her of cheating on him. When she denied it and tried to get him to calm down, he snapped and hit her. The next morning he was extremely apologetic and said he would never do it again, but that was a lie.

After she was done reminiscing Tenten looked up up at the clock. Her eyes widened realizing what time it was.

"Shit I have to start dinner Neji will be home soon." Tenten cursed to herself and rushed to the kitchen.

She quickly gathered some ingredients and started chopping them up. No sooner had she started doing that Neji walked in.

"I'm home." He said in a monotone voice, closing the door behind him.

"Welcome home." She yelled from the kitchen.

"Is dinner ready?" He asked as he walked into the living room and set his things down.

"Um well." She started as she looked back at him nervously. Her heart had already begun to pound.

"I've been working my ass off all day. All I ask is that dinner be ready when I get home and the house clean." He glared growing angry and walking towards her.

"I know I'm sorry Neji." She backed away, anticipating what would happen next.

"What the hell have you been doing all day?!" Her grabbed her arms roughly and pulled her to face him.

"I was cleaning all day and then I sat down to take a short break, and I got caught reading my book. I'm sorry." She squeaked out, "I'll make you whatever you want."

Neji growled smacked her violently across face with the back of his hand, sending her to the ground.

Instinctively her hand cupped her cheek where he had struck. The burning sensation grew by the second.

"You lazy, worthless woman!" He screamed as he knelt down picked her up by her hair and tossed her against the kitchen cabinets.

"Please Neji I'm sorry it won't happen again." Tears streamed down her already bruising face.

"You're damn right it won't." Neji growled as he picked her up by the hair again, "cause I won't go so easy on you the next time."

He tossed her to the floor again. Grabbing his keys he stormed out the door. Tenten laid on the floor sobbing. How could she hate him so much and yet still love him? After everything he's done to her.

Gathering her composure she Slowly stood and cleaned up the kitchen. She then laid on the couch and cried herself to sleep.

Hours later Neji walked back into the the house drunk off his ass slamming the front door closed. Tenten shot up from her slumber turned to see him.

"N-Neji you're home." She looked at him fearfully.

"Oh Tenten my beautiful wife." He stumbled over to her.

She backed into the couch as far she could her eyes quaked with fear. He fell to his knees in front of her and pulled her into a hug. Tenten squeaked and flinched in fear.

"What have I done? I've hurt you so terribly. I am so sorry my love." He slurred out holding her close.

Tenten slowly relaxed and wrapped her arms around him. Tears falling once again she questioned how she could hate him so much and yet still love him so much.

Neji picked her up and stumbled to the room with her. She held onto him tightly as to not fall out of his drunken arms. She knew full well why the were going to the bed room. For when he was shit faced he became extremely horny. She never dared to tell him she didn't want to for the one time she did he beat her horribly and then had his way with her.

Neji laid her on the bed, climbing over her, he leaned down and gave her a sloppy kiss. Tenten slowly kissed back and shivered as she felt his hands run up her sides. Neji moved his sloppy kisses to her neck where he nipped and sucked. Tenten let out small squeaks as he did so. Neji sat up a bit pulling off her shirt off. Growling lustfully her ripped her bra off. She squeaked and covered herself instinctively. He growled and pinned her arms above her head with one of his hands. Grabbing one of her breasts with his free hand. He leaned down and took the nipple of her other breast in his mouth. She moan quietly as he sucked an bite it gently.

Moments later, he let go of her wrists and his hands traveled down to the waist band of her pants. He unbuttoned them and pulled them off along with her panties.

"So beautiful." He growled out lustfully as he looked upon her naked body.

She blushed brightly and pulled on his shirt and pants singling him to get out of his cloths. He smirked and obeyed. He ran his hands up her thighs, and then he touched her. She gasped and arched her back just a bit as he started to rub her. He leaned down and licked her insterting a finger as he did so.

She moaned out and her hands went to his silky hair. Neji added another finger pumping them in and out. Once he figured she was ready, he pulled out his fingers and rubbed against her. She mewled and ran her hands down his arms.

He growled and entered her not caring if it was too rough. She cringed just a bit and squeezed his arms. Neji started thrusting into her hard.

"N-Neji please not so hard it hurts." She begged, the pain in her lower regions growing.

"Shut up." He growled as he started thrusting faster into her.

He leaned down and bit her neck. She yelped and dug her nails into his arms. He moaned and started pounding into her. Tears formed in her chocolate eyes as he pulled out flipping her over onto her hands and knees and proceeded to enter her roughly.

She buried her face into the sheets biting them to keep from screaming out. He thrust in animalisticly a few more times before releasing into her.

He pulled out and flopped down next to her. As soon as his head hit the pillow he was snoring loudly. Tenten covered him with the blankets. She then curled up cringing a bit. She soon fell asleep.
