A/N: I officially have writers' block. And I have lost a lot of interest in Konoha Academy, mainly because I don't like Hinata anymore D:. While I wait for my writer's block to go away, I shall throw any ideas I have in my mind to create fics. This particular fic is one I had in my head a while ago, but never got around to jotting any ideas down. But then I did. This is one of two fics I will try to use as my cure for writer's block. The other one I need a co-writer or ideas person to help me actually write the fic, because I can't write what I think up down. I'll leave more info in my profile. :D


Why am I the one who gets hurt?

Am I the only who isn't wanted, needed?

The one I thought loved me… loved someone else.

I thought I was needed. I was wrong, I'm always wrong.

It hurts… there, in my heart. Why won't someone wash it away.

Why? Because no-one cares, and they probably never will..

Not even the one person who I thought loved me most…


Chapter 1: Trust

"I'm sorry, Iruka."
"But… why? Tell me why you don't love me! Is it someone else?"
"…Yes. It's someone else…"
"Who is it?"
"…Naruto-kun."
"Get out. Now."
"…I'm sorry, Iruka-sensei."
"No you're not. Just leave… please?"
"…Fine."

Iruka's day hadn't gone so well. His teaching rounds had finished early, yet Iruka still wasn't happy. His fellow ninja and teachers asked him what was wrong, but in front of them he kept pretence, so lied and said he was just tired. After a quick examination from Shizune who had been there at the time, he had been sent home to get some rest. Apparently he was upset over something to do with matters of the heart. She wasn't too far off, he mused.

Walking aimlessly through the village of Konoha, Iruka sighed. His relationship- no, former relationship had been going so well, yet they were never to be, it could never happen. Why wouldn't Kakashi love him as he did before? Everything seemed so perfect, yet it all fell apart. How?

'It's because he loves Naruto now,' the Chuunin reminded himself. 'Of all the people, he had to choose the one other person I loved…' He shook his head, to rid of the nightmare that he lived in but it didn't work.

Iruka's feet lead him into the park. The park, a place filled with memories of happier times, when his parents were alive… No. He couldn't just live in the past. Forcing himself to a swing, he sat down. He began to swing himself gently, enjoying the wind that rushed in and out of his ears. He wished the moment could last forever, though he knew that all good things.

It was then he noticed a dark, lone figure sitting on the park bench about two metres away.

to be continued…


End A/N: Yes, the chapters are supposed to be short. It's my style of writing, I just can't write a long chapter without dragging it out really slowly. Maybe that's another reason I don't have interest in Konoha Academy? I dunno. Review, or this fic shall die:is ebil: XD
