He watched quietly as the darkness fell around the sleeping city, this was normal for him. Every night was the same for him, the quiet walks around the city, the sun going below the rooftops, and the compulsive visits to a certain beauty. It was one of the only things that gave his life any meaning, to go visit him as he slept, making sure his breath never stopped.

Sasuke was obsessed with him, and he knew it. Yet; he didn't want to stop it, he wanted to always be there for him when he slept. He wanted to always watch those beautiful lips, and eyes, as the slowly changed over the course of his sleep. It was all so beautiful, and he knew he couldn't get away from it if he tried. He had nothing, absolutely nothing to live for anymore, except him. And that was all Sasuke needed to give his life substance, so every night, he waited for the sun to set completely, before he set off into the city to his one destination, Uzumaki Naruto.

He went into the apartment through the kitchen window, which was always unlocked, conveniently for him. Naruto lived in a small one bed, one bath apartment that was barely up to code for living standards. The kitchen faucet always had a drip, the bathtub was cracked and stood the risk of falling through the floor into the bedroom of somebody else, and the toilet would not flush with the knob, you had to open the back and pull the plug open yourself. Yet; Naruto lived here and seemed quite happy with it. It was a home, a small, under furnished home, but nonetheless a home.

Sasuke walked into the bedroom and sat down beside the sleeping blond, he watched as his chest rose up and down slowly. Sasuke always thought it was the most beautiful thing he had ever witnessed, but he couldn't tell the sleeping blond. Too many complications, too many emotions, too many damn people.


The morning came and Naruto awoke, he looked to the corner room and stared there. He got out of bed and dressed quickly and headed out the door. It was just another day of having to go to work and deal with the uncertainty and the stress. It wasn't that he hated life; it's just that he didn't see much point in living it anymore. He had done all he wanted to do in life, so what was the point in going through it? He was only 27 years old, and had 2.3 billion dollars to his name, and had done everything he ever wanted to do. Even things he never wanted to be done, fall in love, get married, realize your wife was cheating on you, and get heart-broken, then divorce.

And that was part of what he was doing today, he was going to yet another divorce hearing, trying to separate the estate and the animals, and the wealth, even though the damn bitch had not one damn thing to do with the making of the money. Yet; Naruto was young and stupid when he decided to marry her; he wasn't even thinking that all she was after was his money. So now that the truth was out and he knew about it all, he wasn't about to lie down and allow her to take any of his money. Not one dime. All the pearls and diamonds and other gifts he bought were going to be returned to him. He didn't care, she was leaving the relationship the way she came in, a broke whore.

Naruto walked out the house and headed towards his black BMW, he knew had could afford any car in the world, but for some reason, he preferred living simple. There was no point in be extravagant and over the top, it did nothing for you in the end, except cost you more money. During the twenty minute drive to the court house Naruto kept playing different scenarios in his head and thinking of the correct way to react to them. It was all about how he spoke and how he reacted. The evidence was damning, but Sakura was a smooth talker and good at getting reactions. And that is how she and her lawyer planned on getting everything out of him. They wanted to paint the picture Naruto was a horrible person, and the money was better off in Sakura's hands.

And it might just work. Sakura had used Naruto's money in advanced to pay for a mighty fine, mighty expensive lawyer, Uchiha Sasuke. Naruto had tried the same tactic, getting himself a good lawyer, but his lawyer ended up getting murdered halfway through the divorce. It's believed that it was a former client who was angry about the outcome of their case. It was a bad situation, and left Naruto open and ready for Sakura and her lawyer to take him down.

Naruto had been looking for another lawyer, but none were up to his standards. Naruto was not a flashy spender, but when it came to serious things, he didn't mind spending money. And this was serious. He could not afford fuck ups on his part, and the lawyers he spoke to seemed like major fuck ups, so Naruto eventually decided that his best chance at this was to do it by himself, and today was his first day in court as his own lawyer.

Naruto pulled up to the court house and waited for his name to be called. He knew when he got in there; Sakura and Sasuke would already be in there. They always waited at the other side of the judge's office, just in case things got bad and two former spouses decide that they want to go at each other's throats.

After ten minutes of waiting, Naruto finally got his named called to see the juudge, he walked into the chamber, and could already hear Sakura's high pitched voice arguing with her lawyer and the judge about certain aspects of the case.

"I was married to him for six years! I have come to expect a certain style of living! I expect to eat every day, to sleep on a bed without roaches and rats covering it. Little things that most people take for granted, I won't have. He can't simply divorce me and throw me out on the street like that and expect everything to be okay. When we got married, it was said that what was his, is now mine. And now that I am leaving this relationship, I have a right to take what is mine!"

"Excuse me sir," Sasuke cut in, "I think what my client is trying to say is that while married to Uzumaki she never pursued a career, because Uzumaki was taking care of her. So now that he is leaving her, and never gave her an opportunity to get financially stable on her own, he should support her until she can support and provide for herself."

"Oh is that so?" The judge stared at the two, "Well I am afraid that today that is not what the hearing is about. We are simply going to start off from where we stopped last time and get all of the valuable's split up, Considering the fact that the prenuptial agreement stated that Sakura may keep any gifts given to her during their relationship. We can discuss the matters of money at our next meeting. So if you three would not mind sitting down."

Naruto took the seat to the far right of the desk. While Sasuke and Sakura sat on the left, leaving one chair in between them. Naruto grabbed the brief case that he had brought with him and took out the papers' he had brought with him. It was a list of all the gifts he had bought Sakura in their years of marriage. He had it labeled out perfectly, with the dates bought, the amount which he paid for them, the amount which they were now worth, and any identification numbers on it. I all there was $300,000 in make-up, which was now worthless, $620,000 in clothing, which was now worth about $658,000, and $900,000 in jewelry which was now worth more than a million dollars. Her argument about her needing money to live off was about to go up in flames. All the needed to do was sell all of this and she would have enough money to get herself financially stable.

"Your honor, I would like to present you with this list of all the gifts I have bought Sakura over the course of our marriage. There is a list of the items, the amount I spent on them, the amount they are worth now, and any identification codes on them. I have brought the receipts if there are any questions about any of this. From my calculations', Sakura is set to get more than $1,000,000 in jewelry. So I see no need for our next and hopefully last appointment to be about 'matters of money' considering the fact that she will indeed have enough to live off of until she gets herself financially stable."

"That's bullshit! Those are my gifts! Why should I have to sell the gifts he gave because I am choosing to leave him? That's ridiculous! They are gifts! Not a means of living!"

"Actually if you look at the documents Sakura dear, you will see that I am the one who filed for divorce, not you. Now are we done here for now? I have a job I would like to get to and then a doctor's appointment if you don't mind." Naruto zipped his briefcase and started to get up.

"Actually we have more to discuss. Sakura has recently informed of some personal matters." Sasuke coughed and continued, "She has told me that about three years into their marriage she had become pregnant with Uzumaki-san's child. According to her statement to me, Naruto was not all that thrilled to be having a child just yet since he still had things he felt he needed to get in order in his life. This lead Sakura to believe that he did not want to have the child at the time or at all. As a result of this Sakura resorted to the last possible thing she could think of to make Naruto happy, and that was to have an abortion."

Naruto dropped his briefcase and stared, he was not expecting this curveball to be thrown in. He didn't even know she had had an abortion, as far as he was concerned with it, she had miscarried four months in. Naruto could admit at the time he didn't feel having a child with her was right. And now, years later, he was proud that he had thought so, she was a cheater and a liar.

"That's insane! I had no idea about any abortion!"

"Sakura did not tell Naruto of the abortion because of the emotional distress she was already going through." Sasuke interrupted, "She regrets the decision now, of course, but we feel that Uzumaki should pay for the counseling for Sakura."

"That's ridiculous! I should pay for something she chose to do on her own! She stole money from me and went to do this of her own free will. She choose to do this, not me, I had no say in the matter. And all of this aside, how do I even know if that was my child, she has been cheating on me since our first year married, how do we know it wasn't one of her lover's?" Naruto banged his fist on the judge's desk and stared him down.

"Both of you make valid arguments, but Uzumaki Naruto has a good point, how do we know that it was his child and not one of you clients many lovers, Uchiha Sasuke?" The judge started at Sasuke and waited for him to speak.

"Sakura never allowed another man to have intercourse with her without a condom, she used back-up birth control with every man except Uzumaki and when looking at a calendar and counting the days she saw that the only man she had been with around the time she had become pregnant was Uzumaki since they were on vacation in Italy at the time."

"Hmm," The judge rubbed his chin and looked deep in thought, "I will have to review this case and I will give a ruling in it tomorrow. I need both of you to make a written and spoken statement to me. So have a written statement signed and notarized faxed to me in the morning. Then at the start of our next meeting I will get spoken statements. So I will see you both in two weeks to the day. Is everybody okay with that?"

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Alright, don't forget my faxes, if I don't have it by eight a.m. I will be ruling in favor of the other party."


Naruto walked out the right side door and headed to his car. This was going to kill him eventually. This was too much stress and unneeded attention to a divorce that shouldn't be a problem. She cheated on him, he caught her, he files for divorce, they signed a prenuptial agreement, and it should've all been easy. Yet; that can never happen for him, there is always something else happening.

After sitting in the car for a couple of moments , Naruto decide he wasn't going to be going into work today. He needed to get his written statement prepared and proof read, then notarized and faxed in the next couple of hours, otherwise he would never get it done. He pulled out his cellphone and called the office number.

"Hello, Customer Service, how may I be of service to you?" Said a cheery voice at the end of the phone.

"Ino, it's me. I can't come in today. I have some things to take care of relating to the divorce. Can you tell Shika that he is in charge until tomorrow and if anything goes wrong, just to call me?"

"No problem. I will call him and let him know right away. And Naruto, you know if there is anything you need to talk to me about, I am always here for you. No matter what, you can call me whenever you need me. I told you Sakura was a horrible person. You should've believed me. I'm sorry you have to go through this."

Naruto sighed, of course Ino was correct, she was always correct, but back then he didn't know that. Back then he just thought she wanted him and was trying to get with him, "I know Ino. I'm sorry I was stupid. If you're up for it, later do you want to come back to my apartment to talk?"

"Sure, that's not a problem, I get off at five, I will grab some groceries to cook and then I will be right over."

"Okay thank you. It means a lot to me."

"No problem Naruto, now go get some rest. You are going to need it."

"Yeah, you're right, bye." Naruto hung up his cellphone and started the car five. He needed to go get this typed out, notarized and faxed within the next two hours, otherwise he would never do it.


Naruto finally got home at 5:03. It turned out he had much more to say then what he originally thought. This wasn't a bad thing per say, more than likely it was good; he felt he made a lot of valid points and the judge would probably rule in his favor. Then hopefully they would have only two more meeting with this judge and then entire divorce would be over. That would be miraculous. To be done with Sakura Haruno and all of her lying bullshit drama was a dream that was too close to becoming true. Naruto felt a smile gracing his lips; it had been a while since he had been happy.

Just then the doorbell rang and Ino walked through with a bag of groceries, "So I heard you needed to talk?" Ino smiled and went over to hug Naruto. "So how was it today? I take it, it was pretty bad since you didn't come into work."

"Yea, it was, learned some more new things out about my wife today also. Each one of these meeting I learn something new. It's like I never really knew the bitch. I was just money to her." Naruto sat down on his couch while Ino made a move to the stove to start cooking.

"I told you she was bad. She lies and she is self-absorbed. She doesn't care much about anyone other than herself. Everyone else is just a pawn to her, in a world she feels she owns. Just keep playing your cards right, there is no reason for the judge to give her anything out of this, you signed a prenuptial right? So there is nothing to worry about."

"Yeah, that was what I was thinking also, but me and her are still going to visit the judge and having to argue cases that should be clear and simply. Damn bitch stole my money and hired this lawyer ahead of time; the moment she found out I wanted to file for divorce she hired him with my money, just so she could try to take more of it." Naruto clenched his hands in anger. He had always felt that he would never hit a girl, but Sakura was really pushing it with all of her bullshit.

"So what all did she say today?"

"Well would it interest you to know…"

"Ouch! Damnit Naruto! This damn old stove of yours just burned the hell out of me! I know you are humble and all. And you're also worried about Sakura finding where you live, but this old dump of an apartment? You could do so much better! You really could!" Ino sucked on her index finger , staring at Naruto waiting for a response.

"I'm sorry Ino," Naruto handed her a band aid, "I just see no point in wasting all that money and anywhere to upper class and Sakura would be hunting me down out there. Anyways, this place reminds me a bit of the apartments where I grew up, so it's not that bad, really."

"If you say so, I don't agree with you living here, it seems like somebody could easily break in here and rob you if they wanted."

"Yeah, I know what you mean, but its okay, I will be safe, so don't even worry about me." Naruto smiled and rubbed the back of his head, "Now anyways, back to what we were talking about…"

Ino left at about 8:30 that night after making some more valuable points Naruto would have to make to the judge in his spoken interview about this. Today was just a long day and Naruto could not wait until he could take his shower and go to sleep. That was all Naruto really wanted, to lay down and sleep, if possible, he would sleep forever.


Sasuke stayed up in his study for half the night reading and re-reading one sheet of paper. It had become an obsession of his, to read this paper. He had to do it at least twice a day, to make sure the words that were on the paper were really there. It was Uzumaki Naruto's medical information sheet. Sasuke had dug it up and while back when he first came into the divorce and Uzumaki and his soon to be ex-wife Haruno Sakura, it was just some regular information he requested for all his new clients opponents. He was hoping he could dig up some information on him to force him into a corner so he would have to give Sakura some money.

But that isn't what happened; instead he found some very interesting, unique things out about Naruto. It was nothing that could harm him in a divorce case, just some things that seriously harm him in the real world. Things that if others were to find out, they would probably kill him for.

"It's such an interesting case, but…" Sasuke spoke aloud, but there was no one in the room other than him. It was becoming a habit to speak aloud when he was thinking at this point in time.

"Maybe I should allow Tsunade to look over this and tell me what she think, then I could…"

Sasuke sat back in his chair and examined the piece of paper over one more time before picking up the phone and dialing, "May I talk to Tsunade? No. Right now. It is important. Tell her it's Sasuke Uchiha. " After waiting a while, she finally answered her phone.

"Sasuke? What do you need now?"

"I have a question to ask you, it's concerning certain, Uzumaki Naruto." Right when he said that name, he could hear the air being sucked in on the other side of the phone, and Tsunade's usually even voice, became shaky.

"Yes? What about him?"


Done.

Tell me what you think? :) Merci!
