~3-Part Story~

*ding dong*

Naruto blinked sleepily, pulled out of his sleep by the loud ringing of his doorbell, before rolling over and shutting his eyes again.

*ding dong ding dong ding dong*

He sat up rigidly, eyes shooting over to his closed bedroom door and lazy hands scratching through his dismantled spiky hair. Someone actually was ringing his doorbell… he looked over at his alarm clock warily, eyebrows furrowing, before falling back onto his bed and burying his face into his pillow. He thought whoever it was would go away; understanding the fact that someone was asleep.

After about twenty seconds of listening out for it, he sighed with relief, thinking the person was gone. As he began falling back to sleep…

*ding dong ding dong ding dongding dong ding dong ding dong*

He growled with irritation as he threw the covers off his body. "Man, goddamn! Every time…" He yelled as he violently threw his bedroom open, stomped down the steps. Who the hell was at his door at two o'clock in the morning? Whoever it was was about to get an earful out of him. He snatched the door open, "What the fu-!" He instantly paused and his face began to soften up when he recognized the pink hair, "Sakura? What are you doing here?" He said stepping to the side, immediately inviting her in.

She stepped in quietly with her head down. He closed the door, locking it. He turned back to her, "Sakura, what are you doing here so late?" He asked. He saw her shoulders were shaking violently, like she was cold. That's when he took notice in what she wearing, a dress. Didn't she know it was going to be at least thirty degrees tonight? He reached his hand out and laid it on her shoulder. He flinched a little, she was indeed cold.

He turned her around to face him, "You're cold. What happened? Why aren't you back at home with Sasuke? Did you two get into a fight again?" He asked with concern. She didn't look up. He sighed and grabbed her chin and lifted her face. His eyes widen; her eyes were red and puffy from crying, her nose was red and running from the cold, but caught his attention the most was the developing bruise on her cheek and her busted, swollen bottom lip.

"Oh my God, he hit you." He said in disbelief. She snatched her head away from.

"I'm sorry for the short notice, Naruto but can I stay with you tonight." He nodded his head and grabbed her hand and began leading her upstairs to his bedroom. As they made their way to his bedroom, Naruto couldn't grasp the idea of Sasuke ever hitting her. All three of them grew up together and knew each other by heart. Growing up, both him and Sasuke were overly protective of her and would kill anybody that hurt her. To think Sasuke did that was unbelievable; he needed to talk to him after he laid her down to bed.

He walked into the room and laid her down, bringing the covers over her body. "You can have my bed; I'll sleep on the couch tonight." He said turning his back. Before he could make a step, he felt a small hand grabbed his wrist. He turned around and looked down, clearly surprised. He looked into her eyes that show desperation.

"Naruto, stay by me until I fall asleep." She whispered. He smiled as he turned back around and sat at the side of bed.

"Of course." He said flashing his fox-like grin, knowing it would make her smile like usual. She smiled back at him before closing her eyes.

It didn't take her long to fall asleep, though it was good; she needed it. He quietly stepped and closed the door softly before walking down the stairs to get his cell phone. He really needed to know what was going on with Sasuke and Sakura. If he would have knew that this was their future, he would have never given up on Sakura. As he dialed his number, he walked into the living, closing the double doors that leaded into his living room.

"What, Dobe?" His voice sounded from the other side, obviously irritated.

"Did you hit her?" He said going straight to the point, "She came here with a bruised cheek and busted lip. I want to know what the hell is going on." He heard Sasuke sigh heavily.

"Nothing is going on, idiot. I and Sakura just had a little argument about her getting an abortion."

"So you hit her?"

"Look, I don't have time to explain this to you. I'm very tired; I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Bastard, no-"He was cut off when he heard the tone beeping in his ear. Naruto growled and hung up the phone. Naruto walked over to the couch and fell on it in a heap, sighing. He swung his arm over his face. All of this was soap opera drama and he hated drama. Hopefully everything will be better tomorrow.

Naruto woke up to here rapid knocking at the door. He groaned as he lifted himself up, stumbling a bit when he stood up. He yawned, as he scratched the back of his neck. He opened one of the double doors and walked toward the front door, opening it.

"Where the fuck is she!" Naruto's eyes opened wide from the sudden loud voice. He stared shocked into the angry eyes of Sasuke.

"Where is she? In your room?" He said pushing past Naruto, running up the steps. Naruto, who was still a bit groggy, was oblivious to what was going on for moment, before everything that happen last night rushed back to him like a train.

"Sasuke!" He yelled running after him. Naruto caught up with him in his room. He stopped as he watched Sasuke violently grabbed Sakura by her dress, snatching her out of his bed.

"You bitch!" Sasuke yelled in her face, "You abort my child, now you give some kind of medicine to my mistress that unable her to have kids!"

Sakura's eyes grew wide from fear as she began shaking her head violently, "No, I swear-"Sasuke growled and pulled her closer to his face.

"You're lying!" He said lifting his hand up, preparing to hit her. Naruto quickly jumped in a grabbed his hand. Sasuke looked over his shoulder and glared at him, "Let go, Naruto." He said.

"Dude, chill out," Naruto said, through his teeth. Naruto tightened his hold on his wrist and threw him back into the wall. Sasuke threatened to take Sakura along with him but Naruto caught her and held her into his chest protectively, "Think about what hell you were about to do."

Sasuke lifted up from the wall, "She deserves it, after all of what she's done. Isn't that right Sakura?" He said, smirking at her. Naruto looked down at her trembling form. What in the world were going on between the two? What the hell did Sakura do to get him so pissed off?

"I'll see you later." Sasuke said leaving the room. Naruto listened as his shoes made noises and the sound of the front door slam. Naruto then pulled Sakura off his chest. "Sakura, you think you can fill me in a little." He said.

She began to stop sobbing and wiping her tear away, "Do you remember when I got pregnant by him and I lost the baby, "He nodded his head. It was a sad time for both her and Sasuke, "Sasuke thought it was miscarriage, which it was. But then it happened a second time. Growing impatient about having a child, Sasuke got a mistress, in hope that she will conceive. I knew she couldn't conceive because just a few months back, she had gotten her tubes tied, the doctor doing that was me. She just only wanted to have sex with him."

His jaw clenched, he hoped the mistress wasn't that red-headed girl named Karin that he always saw walking beside Sasuke. She continued, "After a while, Sasuke became suspicious about her not conceiving. So saving her ass, she told Sasuke that I give her some kind of medicine that caused her not to have kids and that I didn't want anybody having his kids including me, saying I purposely had two abortions, and knowing the truth that I had two mysterious miscarriages."

He began to think; two mysterious miscarriages. He knew little on that stuff but he knew that it was cause by stress. Maybe stress from Sasuke finding another girl or stress from not giving Sasuke what he wanted…or possibly, her body didn't want her having his children. He hugged her tightly. "We'll figure this out but for now you can stay with me."

Okay, this is the first chapter. But I hope someone read the Godforsaken stupid story I just somehow thought of. The title of the story will start to make sense, I guess.
