A/N: So this idea has been giving me some trouble lately. It's been stuck in my head and wouldn't let me write my other fic. As a result this idea has come out in this form. This will be a short story. I'll try no to let it interfere with my other story. D:

The city of Konoha was always active. There was always a story waiting to unfold amongs the parks, skyscrapers, apartment buildings, and even alleys. Not every story was entertaining or happy but each one was unique. And they each unfolded day by day.

If you left the richer area of the city and went past the bustling downtown you would find apartment buildings where most of the less fortunate working class residents resided. In this area stories of broken homes were common. Wives hiding from an abusive husband, a teenager living on his own to get away from his drunken parents, an orphan who had no memory of his parents, someone who couldn't even feel emotions. The list goes on and on.

If you had come to this area a few months back you would have witnessed a love story that seemed to good to be true at the time. Every afternoon a raven haired boy and a pink haired girl who were graduating high school soon and planned to get married would walk down the alleys that were made up of the different buildings as if it would lead them to some form of paradise.

Each had a bright future. The young raven was at the top of his class and wouldn't be worrying about any financial difficulties as he would attend university on a full time scholarship. The girl was gifted with medicinal knowledge and was offered a scholarship that would cover almost everything. Her lover planned to help her when she needed.

The two looked well together. The boy seemed less stoic when around the girl. The girl would smile more around the boy. Then one day before the graduation ceremony they broke up. The girl stating that her heart now belonged to another. Crushing the raven haired boy she'd once loved. In retaliation the young raven lashed out harsh words at the pinkette and called her a whore.

After graduation neither of them had seen each other until the day his world fell apart all over again.

"Leave" She had told me.

That one word had sent me into a rage and I told her I didn't need her. That even without her I could carry on as if nothing had ever happened. How wrong I had been. Leaving her had hurt so much but I would never admit that to anyone. Over time the pain seemed to get better but... why don't I feel any better?

Looking out the small window of the tiny apartment I owned; I saw the same alleyway we would start our afternoon walks on. I had to admit. I missed that. I missed having her hand in mine. I missed feeling her hands on me as we kissed. The feeling I got when our bodies united in a passionate dance. I missed even the small little innocent pecks on the cheek she used to give me. Why did it have to end?

As if some cruel god had heard my thoughts the answer went outside. There she was. Smiling like everything was perfect in the world. And in the distance I could see a tanned figure with spikey blonde hair. My ex-bestfriend Naruto. He had stopped talking to me ever since we graduated. He never called me and if I ever saw him in public he acted like I was a stranger. Dick.

The pink haired girl who had hurt me walked up to him. And he greeted her with a smile.

So that's why he had stopped talking to me. He was the other man who had stolen Sakura's heart from me. I could feel an ache in my heart but I also felt a fire rising in my stomach. I sent a text message to the three other people I still could trust and then rushed outside. I needed a fucking explanation and I would get it.

The other three would be there to make sure I didn't do anything too stupid.

As I finally made it outside I saw him place a ring on her finger. And in that moment. Everything around me shattered. He didn't just... No... She was... Why him? Feeling betrayed I walked up to both of them.

Sakura saw me and quickly scurried away. That was fine. She wasn't the one I wanted to yell at. In the distance. I heard foot steps behind me and knew Neji and Sai were walking behind me.

Naruto looked dumb founded when he saw Sakura leave until he saw me approaching.

"I tried to call you the last few weeks." I told him as I got closer. "You never answered me. You deleted me from your skype contacts. Deleted and blocked me from steam. At first I thought maybe you died and someone hacked your accounts. "

Shikamaru was walking up from behind Naruto. I felt the weight of a certain ring on my right hand. It was supposed to be my wedding band.

"Then one day I see you here looking completely healthy." I told him. "I was happy to know you were alive. Until I fucking saw Sakura approach you. And then you place a fucking ring on her finger!?"

"Jealous?" He asked me with a cocky grin.

"What the fuck Naruto?" I asked him. "You know Sakura and I used to meet up here every fucking afternoon."

"And?" He asked me. "I wanted to give her something. She's kind of fond of this place so I figured I would do it here."

"You piece of shit." I tried to move closer only to have Neji get in between us and push me back.

"Sasuke don't." He stated, I didn't listen to him.

"Look Sasuke." Naruto said eerily calm. "She chose me in the end. While she was with you she realised that her love was only superficial and decided to go with the guy she loved not only in looks but in character as well."

"And let me guess." I told him. "That would be you? You're the one who stole her from me."

"She wasn't really yours to begin with."

This time I moved in close enough to give him a light push.

"Don't fucking push me." He said as he pushed me back.

"Woah come on Naruto."Shikamaru said holding Naruto back. "Don't start anything here."

"Do you have any fucking idea how pissed off I am at you?" I asked him, trying to get closer only to be held back by Sai and Neji. "These few weeks I've been trying to get over her. You WERE my best fucking friend and when I needed you.. You ... You were walking around with Sakura and stabbing me in the back!"

"Look it's nothing personal." He told me. "We both liked her back in middle school remember? But she never gave me a chance. She just walked straight over to you cause you were the heart throb of the whole damn school."

Naruto broke free of Shikamaru's arms. I pushed Sai and Neji away.

He was right in my face now. I could smell miso on his breath.

"I've known her since fucking kindergarden." I told him. "She knew me back when we all thought cooties were real."

"So did I you bastard." He said pushing me again. "Did you see that smile on her face. She's happy. Why can't you pretend to be happy for us at the very least?"

"Because whatever happened between you two happened while I was dating her." I told him. "I asked her to marry me and she said yes. Then she drops this bullshit that she's been in love with you all this time and been sneaking around behind my back! I bet she was fucking you behind my back as well."

"Hey at least you got her virginity." He told me.

He got into my face again and had a finger right at my forehead.

"Does it hurt your ego Uchiha?" He asked, using his finger he was making me bend backwards a little. "Does it hurt knowing that you CAN'T get whatever the fuck you want just by having good looks."

"That was not how my relationship with her worked." I barked at him as I slapped his hand away.

Sai and Neji held back my arms while Shikamaru pulled Naruto back.

"Of course not" He told me, he was so fucking calm. "You know the most she ever said about you was that you gave her a decent orgasm."

"Fuck you!" I yelled at him getting out of Neji and Sai's grip. "Like you did any fucking better."

"Oh I can make her scream my name to heaven." He told me as he got away from Shikamaru.

That was all I needed to go over the edge. I punched him in the face, something he saw coming. He managed to punch me back.

"Shit." Neji Said as he tried to get in the way with little success. "Don't do this you two."

The next punch I threw at him knocked him to the floor. I grabbed him by the front of his stupid orange jacket and pulled him off the floor a little.

"Don't think you can fuck with me and get away with it you fucker!?" I yelled. "You were supposed to be my friend. You aren't supposed to pull this kind of shit on me!"
"Well I guess we aren't fucking friends anymore then are we!?" He yelled at me, he finally raised his voice.

I felt the tears in my eyes fall onto his cheek. Neji and Sai managed to get me off of him and slammed against a wall. There was guilt it he bastard's eyes but only for a second. It meant nothing.

Shikamaru helped Naruto get up but kept holding him back.

Both of us were breathing heavily. He looked like he was holding back his emotions. What the fuck just happened!? I've known this blonde idiot since we were in kindergarden. Just like I knew Sakura. I even asked him if he was ok with me dating Sakura. He had told me that he wanted us to be happy. Then he dated Hinata. I thought they were still a thing. When did that fucking change!?

I kicked and punched myself free of my friend's grip and started to walk away. I kicked a trash can over as I walked back home with my hands in my pocket.

Fuck it. I did not need to be around that shit head right now.

*~KusanagiSwordsWoman~*

As the young raven walked away so did the blonde. Both of them cried in silence as they walked away. They silently cried over their now broken friendship that had been ruined. One angry and the other guilty.

In the alleyway stood the only three people who still connected the two. Shikamaru, a boy with an irritated expression, walked away from the other two and followed the blonde haired boy.

The other two Neji and Sai only watched their friend walk away from them.

"He's a traitor you know." Sai said to Shikamaru who was walking away. "He used to say that he wanted the best for his friends and look at whats happened. He actually went back on his word."

There was a sense of hurt and betrayal in Sai's voice. Naruto was a friend he looked up to.

"Tch." Shikamaru said as he stopped in his tracks. "So what? Are we just gonna forget about Naruto?"

"Sasuke is gonna need us more." Neji stated. "He lost his parents and his brother recently. This can't be good for him. What if he kills himself over this?"

Shikamaru thought about that for a moment. Sasuke tended to be stoic but that's because like most of his family he had very fierce emotions. His anger and love were always in the extreme side. But it made him a good friend. His sadness was just as extreme. For all he knew Sasuke had been contemplating suicide over the whole thing. This could be the final nail in that coffin. Naruto could wait a little right?

Maybe not but he was going to have to. It would be his punishment for putting them all through this.

"Alright this is what we do." Shikamaru stated. "We keep an eye on Sasuke for a while. Once we know for sure he's going to be ok and not do something stupid we go and talk to Naruto."

"I don't plan on speaking to that bastard." Sai said coldly.

"You don't have to then Sai." Neji stated. "You can keep an eye on Sasuke once we talk to Naruto. He at leasts owes us an explanation. I know Hinata has been upset ever since their break up."

The three boys nodded in agreement. They each wondered why had everything gone south? Sasuke and Naruto had been inseparable as children. They could have practically been brothers. What had sparked this?

That question was left floating in the air.
