a/n aha~ back again ^ ^ I guess this means it was ok xD anyways on the the story
XxxxxxxX
Naruto yawned, he stretched his arms and rolled over falling off of the bed.
"ow...." He sat up and looked around tit took a moment before he realized what he was hearing. A pounding at the door.
"Uh..uh, coming one moment!!" Naruto managed to spit out while throwing his grubby t-shirt on. He scrambled to the door and threw it open.
"Hinata?" Naruto's grasp on the door handle tightened, he looked past her.
"Yes. I just wanted to say... I think maybe... we should take a break... you know... "Hinata brought her hand to Naruto's cheek, slowly moving his face to hers.
"look at me..." Hinata smiled sadly.
"I am.. Hinata...i am " Naruto whispered looking into her eyes.
"I know... I know you don't love me... I just want you to be happy" Hinata kissed Naruto's forehead, she sighed when he didn't respond and turned to leave.
I do love you... I do
you don't Naruto just let her leave... do you want her to be stuck with you for the rest of her life?
Do you want her to wither away in this dead-end relationship?
no... but this is so sudden...
Life is like this kiddo... life is like this......
Naruto shut his door slowly, he felt like he was losing part of his life, three years of his time... was gone, he could never get it back.. he lost Sasuke. And now Hinata? Naruto felt the all to familiar touch of loneliness he thought he had gotten rid of while being with someone. Naruto felt a lump growing in his chest, and forced out a strange eerie laugh. He paused... but began to cry. He cried for the time he lost, for the pain he had shared with her, for the moments of happiness Hinata had brought him... but mostly he cried for himself... because now Naruto felt his idiocy caving in on him.
Kyuubi rumbled.
Women have never brought anything but pain for me Naruto...
Naruto wiped his tears away slowly. His stomach grumbled but he ignored it, he looked at a picture taken with him and Hinata about a month ago... before Sasuke had come back. He remembered that day. Him and Hinata had gone out on a date that ended with a long night, Naruto laughed,
How is now different from then? Why cant I just be normal again??
Love.... you know why.
A resounding knock came behind Naruto's head.
"Oi! Naruto, Chouji me and a couple of the group are going out to breakfast, we wanted to know if you and Hinata wanted to come. " Shikimaru said from above him.
"I uh... me and Hinata... we just... we just broke up..." Naruto said as if nothing of the sorts had happened, He fidgeted with his shirt seam as he waited for Shikimaru to laugh at him.
"Oh.. wow man. Are you ok?" Shikimaru placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"Yeah... I'm fine... What happened? Did you get into a fight?" Shikimaru asked squatting beside Naruto.
"NO..she said we needed to take a break..."
"Wow man.. I'm sorry.. I wish I could help out... shit... I don't know what to say..." Shikimaru ran his free hand through his ponytail which had gotten longer over the years.
"You could take me to get food, I'm starving man. " Naruto said smiling.
The easiest way to deal with a tough situation is to smile... even if it was a fake one Sai was so right.
Agreed.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Chouji, Ino, Sakura, and Shino, and Sai had gathered at the popular Restraunt ' Yaiko's ' and were waiting with three spots open in a booth table near the back.
Gotta love the privacy
Its just so Ino can grope Sakura and no one will see it.
So, that means I don't have to have people staring at my scar. It works for me.
Naruto ran his fingers over the Scar on his cheek, the rough outline of a kunai tip lay across his right cheek. He frowned.
"Naruto!! how are you? "Sakura waved at him from the table.
Naruto waved back smiling again.
"Sasuke?! I didn't think you would really come!!" Ino shouted staring over Naruto's shoulder.
Naruto felt his heart thump.
no..nonono no ...nono ...NO
Naruto whirled around searching for his friends face. His eyes found him instantly, his short raven colored hair, his dark blue shirt with a white swirl on it, his long black pants... everything about him emitted elegance. Naruto blinked and swiveled his head as Sasuke glided by not even sparing a glance for him.
"Sasu-" Naruto whispered breathing in the cologne Sasuke was wearing.
"you coming? … " Sasuke smiled, standing beside the table.
Naruto turned slowly, he smiled and scooted into the booth next to Shikimaru. Sasuke sat down next to him. The room was relaxing, with slowly changing light colors a truly comforting atmosphere to dine in.
"Ooh wow... you and Hinata?" Shino began.
"What did you do?"Sakura asked sounding pissed.
"I didn't do anything." Naruto defended himself.
"You always did screw things up Naruto. "Sasuke said plainly.
He folded his hands beneath his chin and sat staring at a bowl of chopsticks in front of him.
"Me- " Naruto frowned it was no use arguing with him... he was right.
"She was a bitch, you deserve better " Sai nodded and closed his 'how to comfort a friend when he was dumped and feels down' book
"SAI!!" Ino, Shikimaru, Chouji, Shino and Sakura shouted at once.
"eh..ehheheh... sorry... putting down the offender seemed to be the appropriate action at this moment... I am sorry " Sai squeaked out while being punched by Shino.
"mm.... look "Sasuke raised an eyebrow as Naruto stood at the edge of the Karaoke stage.
"uh...right here it goes..." Naruto cleared his throat and clenched the Mic tightly. He took a breath as the music to Sara Barielles 'love song' began.
"Head under water and they tell me to breath easy for awhile...breathing gets harder, even I knoow thaat..."Naruto paused looking at Sasuke, He smiled and swayed a bit to the tune.
"wow.. he is actually good" Shikimaru whispered to Ino.
"Yeah for someone like him..." Sai said while watching Naruto.
"Whats that supposed to mean?" Sasuke asked Sai with a steady face.
"Made room for me its to soon to see if I'm happy in your haands. Im unusually hard to hold on too" Naruto looked away from the brawl breaking out between Sai and Sasuke.
XxxxxxxX
ugh... thats the third time I've gotten into a fight with Sai since I got back. Why cant he quit picking on MY Naruto.... I mean … my FRIEND Sasuke looked up at the boy patching his cheek up.
"I... um... im sorry Naruto" Sasuke looked down.
"Sai says things he doesn't realize will offend people..." Naruto said wiping a trickle of blood from Sasuke's lips.
Sasuke's cheeks puffed up, and his fists tightened slowly.
"How many times has he insulted you love?!" Sasuke asked angrily.
Naruto stopped, looking into Sasuke's eyes. He saw anger... He felt his heart throb again while staring into Sasuke's eyes.
What did I do?
I don't know....
Sasuke frowned as The others looked at him.
"I mean... dobe!"
"DOBE? DOBE?! You cant come back and act like you were never gone!! cuz you were! Sai and Shikimaru all of these people were here for me!! …. you have NO right to call me that!" Naruto stood up and with a poof he was gone.
Pfft dobe.... dobe.... obe...obey.... hmm... kinky... Naruto licked his lips, then shook his head.
No no.... mmm... and no. Naruto lounged across his bed, his legs slowly moving across his sheets like he was making a snow angel. His mind drifting from Sasuke to his everyday chores then quickly back to Sasuke.
Think he was mad at me back at the Restraunt?
no....he seemed more embarrassed then mad.
Why?
I don't know... why don't you ask him?
Naruto sat up, he ran a hand through his untidy hair.
God... why does my chest want to explode whenever I think about him?
You don't need to call me god... Kyuubi is just fine. And on another note....
Naruto is gay
not again.
Sasuke is too
why must make up these stupid songs?
The bed is made
Shut up!
They get to sleep in it too
whew.... not as bad as I thought it would be...
Kyuubi is strict
eh?
and all around quite lousy
Naruto....
but just when you think it...
I...hate...you
he turns into a pansy...
that made no sense...
made sense to me...
whatever.
Naruto smirked. He rolled a strand of his growing hair in between his thumb and forefinger as he mulled over his rhyme trying to figure out a newer one.
