So, I'm assuming from all the people who added this to their alerts it's liked so far. But PLEASE review. ; A; It's nice to see people alert this and favorite, but there's nothing better than a written out comment. Make my day, and even suggest ideas for the future. Please and thank you! x3

Enjoy!


"Who's that?" The three men stood at the opening of their office building, eying a woman who stood at the receptionist's desk, leaning over it with a confused look upon her face. She was fair-skinned, with nearly white blonde hair that fell over her back and over the curve of her rear, curling up at the ends, her silver eyes narrowed slightly at the woman who sat before her. "Looks like a real cun-" Kiba was cut off by a swift hit to the stomach, thanks to Naruto's elbow. He coughed aloud, loud enough to attract the woman's attention. Those eyes locked on to the three men, and a light seemed to hit them. Naruto watched as she waved off the receptionist eagerly and quickly walked her way over to them, her white heels clicking against the marble flooring.
"You three," She called out, folding her arms over her breasts, and managing a small smile with her pretty, pink lips. "You work for my husband, I'm assuming?" Naruto's eyes went wide, and his face went a dark red. He probably would have recognized the woman had he chosen to actually attend his boss's wedding, but he had decided against it and instead went off with Sasuke to drink at some sleazy bar. Personally, he felt it was a better use of his time. "Hello?" She tapped her foot, and quickly Naruto realized none of them had spoken up to answer her question, Sasuke was giving her a look, or rather just his look, and Kiba had his mouth hanging open. Naruto was shocked he had yet to start drooling.
"Ah, yeah, yeah." Naruto quickly said, managing a small smile, trying his best to hide the guilt that welled up inside of him. It was weird, facing the person whose husband you were fucking. "Anything we-… I can do for you?" Like Sasuke or Kiba would do anything for her.
"That woman over there refuses to let me up to see him," She huffed, glancing over her shoulder in the direction of poor Hinata, who's face turned red upon realizing she was being stared at. "Would you mind taking me to h-"
"He's in a meeting," Sasuke quickly interrupted, his eyes narrowing the slightest bit. Naruto could tell he didn't like her, though in her defense, Sasuke didn't like a lot of people. Sometimes he had to wonder if he even liked him! "And it's irresponsible for anyone to let you up. You'll have to wait for him to come down and get you himself." Sasuke finished, placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder and urging him forward, deciding against saving Kiba, who remained frozen in place, eyes still locked on to the woman's partially revealed breasts.

"So that's Nibi…" Naruto grimaced once they were out of ear shot, looking to Sasuke whose hand had long since dropped back to his own side, his eyes partially opened and looking straight ahead. "She's beautiful." The blonde decided to comment, glancing back to find her now screaming at the hypnotized Kiba. Dumb dog. "Makes sense, but seriously, the pair are gonna have some… odd bunch of kids." He shuddered at the idea of it, his mind quickly going back to the night before, when he had briefly discussed it with the man himself. "Ever think we made a deal with the actual devil?" Sasuke finally looked his way, arching a brow in slight confusion and seemingly mild interest. "He's got the look for it, I think." Naruto pursed his lips, allowing himself to wonder about it for a moment until Sasuke let out a soft 'hn'.
"The Devil doesn't exist, only devilish people do." Sasuke said, matter-of-factly. "Kyuubi is one of those people, but… I suppose we just got lucky as to whose side we ended up on when it came to him." Naruto, nibbling on his bottom lip, got into the elevator with the Uchiha, falling back against the back wall.
"You're right." He finally decided, figuring it wasn't worth confusing himself over. They were both well off now, living in extremely nice apartments, spacious and luxurious even. They could get any woman they wanted if they actually tried, even a man, he was sure. They had money, a roof over their heads, and food… So now maybe they weren't the best of people, and they were constantly around equally fucked up people, if not more so… They were alive, and living a good life aside from the obvious flaws.
"Why are you thinking about such things?" Sasuke finally asked after a couple of moments of silence passed. Naruto blinked, shrugging his shoulders,
"Didn't think Kyuubi would ever get married, doesn't seem like the type. Are we really the type of people to be doin' this kinda shit?" Sasuke stared at him, long and hard, and eventually rolled his eyes and looked away.
"Really?" Sasuke huffed, "Kyuubi is getting to be in an age where marriage is normal… We're 24. We have time to consider our mistakes and fix the-"
"He's not really fixin' his mistakes though, y'know?" Naruto quickly said, a smirk on his face, "He's just getting a girl… I think he's using her to make his other life seem normal. . . Kinda like what you're doin' with Sakura." Naruto teased, nudging the other. The raven grimaced.
"I'm with Sakura because I don't care either way. She's the one that insists she must be in a relationship with me. She's desperate and pathetic." He rolled his eyes, "Besides, if she wants to title herself as my girlfriend, I don't care. So long as I can still get others elsewhere." Maybe they really were fit to be in this kind of profession… they were all seemingly hormone run assholes anyways.

"I feel bad for her." Naruto said upon the elevator doors opening up. He stepped out, sighing, "She seems nice… a bit… odd in the head, and terribly lonely, but… C'mon, the least you could do is not lead her on." Naruto sighed.
"You said she's lonely. Consider it community service by filling her void by simply giving her a new, meaningless title." At least he had a seemingly kind reason, but Naruto knew the other just didn't care for breakups, and didn't find it worth his time to meet her, or call her up to do something she would ultimately refuse with all her might. Naruto shrugged it off and decided against arguing with the other on the matter, smiling at a couple of people they passed as they wandered down the hallway.
"Hey, is Kyuubi actually in a meeting?" Naruto asked, as they approached their boss's door. Sasuke shook his head, and Naruto smirked.
"Just didn't feel like dealing with that woman." He said, "I have a feeling she's going to bitch to him about me." Knowing Kyuubi, whether Nibi knew Sasuke's name or not, just based off description, Kyuubi was going to be able to tell it was the Uchiha who was at fault for his wife's nasty greeting.
"She seems like the type to do a lot of bitching." Naruto admitted through a sigh, rolling his eyes a bit. He would have thought Kyuubi would go for someone more tolerable, usually the man couldn't stand people like her… but he supposed it wasn't his right to question him. He may have had sex with the man, but… he was still his boss, and his word was law in this business.

They knocked three times upon the fox's door, and a loud groan was what they believed to be a sign they were able to enter. They turned the knob and pushed their way inside, only to come to an abrupt stop and turn in unison. Kyuubi was the biggest whore of them all, and it was why it came as a surprise to all of them to hear he had not only met a woman willing to put up with his shit, but she also married him. Then again, it was probably because he was rich—she seemed like the type to have a lot of interesting appearances and material things. She probably liked the idea of having someone who could buy her all kinds of shiny things… Maybe she didn't even like him at all, maybe she tolerated him for the money, and maybe she wouldn't even care should she walk in on the same scene he and Sasuke had just walked in on. It was such a shame some women were actually like that… but truthfully, Naruto couldn't find it in him to care too much.

Upon entering the office, Kyuubi was found, his head thrown back in pure ecstasy, his face, usually pale, was a light red. Between his legs, where unbuttoned and pushed down pants lay, was a young woman with cropped short hair, wearing nothing but a pair of thing, see-through underwear. She didn't seem to even noticed the fact someone had walked in, or maybe she had and she was like Kyuubi and just didn't care. Their crimson-headed boss let out a breathless laugh, opening an eye to stare at the backs of the two men, who stood their silent, and awkward. Naruto finally reached out to close the door, to prevent any other poor souls from walking in on the incident. Just because they had to suffer, didn't mean anyone else did. "C-care to join, gentleman?" Kyuubi called out, a groan breaking through his words. Sasuke had reached up and covered his ears, closing his eyes and grimacing, looking a lot like a child from the way Naruto saw it. The blonde was used to these sounds however, and found it easy to bare through it until eventually the boss had finished up and his brunette haired whore was wiping her mouth of the white liquid that dripped past her lips.

Naruto nudged Sasuke to signal it was over, glancing back and eying the pair, who got themselves dressed quickly. The woman, pulling on her shirt and pants, and Kyuubi, tugging his pants up and buttoning them up before dusting them off. He ran the back of his hand over his forehead, cleaning himself of any signs of sweat before he turned to look at the brunette, who turned a deep red upon locking eyes with him. Naruto gagged. "You can let yourself out, can't you, Tenten?" The woman giggled, fixing her coat over her shoulders, she leaned over to the other and pecked him on the cheek before she did as was suggested, leaving the office, and soon, the building. Sasuke cleared his voice, finally turning around to face their boss. "I'm glad you two are here," He slicked back his crimson hair, and flashed a shit-eating smile at his two employees, who stood there silently staring at him, both still somewhat flustered from what they had been unfortunate enough to walk in on. "Asuma's been abusing some of the whores again," He let out a sigh and fell back in to his chair. They ran a series of businesses to circulate revenue, income came from many different places, and when violence was needed, it played its part. All their businesses were shady, and what they were known best for selling? Sex. Made sense, Naruto realized.

Kyuubi's eyes locked on to Sasuke, that smile remaining upon his face, "Could you be a dear and pay him a visit, Sasuke~?" The fox cooed, his head tilting to the side. Naruto's eyes narrowed a bit, before looking to Sasuke, who nodded his head. "Naruto, would you mind joining him?" It wasn't exactly an offer he could refuse, he knew that much. He nodded his head,
"Yeah, of course." He quickly said, looking to Sasuke and managing a smile that wasn't returned.
"Your wife is downstairs," Sasuke said, changing the topic. Kyuubi rose his head, arching a brow, then grimacing a bit. He let out a breath and he stood from his seat. He fixed his suit, dusting off his shoulders.

"Get on Asuma now, please. I expect a report back by five." Kyuubi demanded, both Sasuke and Naruto nodding in response, and stepping aside to allow the crimson-haired fox exit from his office. The blonde and the raven exchanged glances, and sighed in unison before following the man out, closing the door behind them.

Asuma was an annoying bastard, a violent drunk that Naruto personally didn't enjoy the presence of very much. His biggest issues was keeping himself from half-strangling the whores to death. Sure, it was true they paid to receive the attention they desired, and demanded of his partner, but… when girls start forming bruises, Kyuubi was never too pleased. It happened a handful of times, which in the boss's view was one too many. The girls were nice, the ones Naruto had met… A lot nicer than you would have expected a whore to be. Of course, some of them were fucked in the head, or stuck up, truthfully, Naruto didn't care much if those particular whores got tossed around a bit—was that horrible? Entering the brothel, Sasuke and Naruto were met with a wide lobby, filled with various bookshelves, stocked from side to side with old looking texts that no one seemed to dare touch. The ceilings were high, and lamps dangled and poured light over the room. They tried to keep it classy here, and the rooms were really nice, the ones Naruto had the opportunity of seeing, anyways. They ranged with sizes, he noticed, but he didn't question why. Of course, he had never come her as a customer, if only because as an employee he could easily pick someone out of this building and have his way with them for free—not to say he did that! No, he and Sasuke had to come down here often to stop Asuma who would often remain in the rooms and refuse to leave after being yelled at by management who the girls would scream for.

"Asuma…" Sasuke sighed upon entering the room, eying the tan-skinned old man who sat in the rocking chair in the far left corner of the room. Neither Naruto or him were really in the mood to deal with such an annoying, horny, old bastard. But he knew Kyuubi would be the farthest thing from pleased should they ignore his request. "You have to leave, Kyuubi's truly growing tired of you." The Uchiha intertwined his own fingers together in front of his waist, looking to the other. Naruto shut the door and came up beside the raven, his eyes locked on to the old bastard, that sat there with a cigar hanging out of his mouth and the occasional puff of smoke pouring out of his slightly parted lips. Naruto grumbled. Cigar smoke made him sick, and it was all the guy smoked! Whenever he was around, there he was with a lit cigar in his mouth. Did he even take the damned thing out of his mouth during sex? He shuddered at the thought as he approached the other, swiftly grabbing the cigar from the other's mouth, and tossing out the open window off to the side.
"Just get out before we gotta hurt ya' old man." Naruto urged, nudging the old fools shoulder, looking to Sasuke who remained a good few feet away, having folded his arms over his chest. Asuma seemed to think over their "suggestions" for a couple of moments before seemingly deciding against leaving. Both Naruto and Sasuke groaned, exchanging glances before they both looked back to Asuma, who was looking at the both of them back and forth, a small, cocky grin on his face.

The pair of boys were quick to take action, and mercilessly beat in Asuma's face, taking out a bit of their own rage due to Kyuubi and how his simple presence seemed to just pile thick amounts of stress directly atop their shoulders. The man was soon crawling out of the room with his face broken and bloodied, and he left Naruto and Sasuke to wipe their bruised fists against their pants and cleaning them of the crimson liquid that was Asuma's blood. "I hate that guy." Sasuke grumbled out softly, touching at his knuckles before turning to Naruto, who sighed, undoing his tie and wrapping it about his own hand in an attempt to make it feel better.
"So do I…" He grimaced, "Let's just go and get back to Kyuubi, fill him in." Naruto urged, nodding for the door. Sasuke nodded quickly in agreement and soon they were both off and out of the room, eager to leave this place and hopefully slack off for the rest of the day… or even better! Get a meal together! It had been a while since he had really been able to hang out with Sasuke. They last time he could recall, was Kyuubi's wedding, which had been almost a month and a half ago or so. That was long, he felt, and the idea of having some decent friend time with the other got him a bit excited. "If Kyuubi's out when we get back, wanna spend whatever time we have left before five to grab some lunch?" The blonde asked hopefully, watching Sasuke's face for some kind of change in expression. None came, of course.

"Ah, I'm not sure." The Uchiha admitted, "Karin is dragging me off to help her with something…" Naruto's face immediately drooped dramatically when his offer had been shut down and for someone like Karin of all people, "If not, sure." There was a faint bit of hope in Naruto, but he knew not to get his hopes up with Sasuke, who would more than likely not have the ability to and get lunch with him.

It wasn't until the past year that they immediately had started to drift. At first, he had assumed Kyuubi had been trying to purposely separate them. They had been given different working hours, different jobs… They had never been together. Slowly they got back on track together, but even then, it was rare they even had times like this. Naruto was a confused young man, with a lot of issues, but he never thought Sasuke to be any less of a friend as he had been just a couple of years back. He was still like family to him, and well… it only made sense to want to strengthen his bonds with the raven, whom he hadn't had much time with in what felt like quite some time. But sadly, Sasuke just always seemed busy… He had to admit, it hurt him some time. He felt as though he had lost a person to talk to, who was he supposed to cry to about Kyuubi? Not to say he would exactly go running into Sasuke's arms, but… the Uchiha almost always had something wise to say to help guide Naruto… but no matter when he asked, Sasuke just seemed to be busy.

Back at the building, after checking around for Kyuubi to no avail, it came to their separation. The red-headed Karin had appeared outside of the building, the hood to her black sweatshirt pulled up and hiding her face, and with long dark lashes that beat at an all too fast pace, and a look of absolutely seduction, she whisked him off to go force him to help her with what Naruto could already assumed was a meaningless task, or maybe even sex. Oh, he really did wish Sasuke would stop getting with such annoying women! They would be the death of him, he was certain. "Naruto!" The blonde turned and was faced with another blonde, a woman with light blue eyes, and long hair that was pulled back into a pony tail atop of her head. She smiled warmly, hooking her arm around his. "Sasuke ditch you again?" She pouted, making Naruto groan and roll his eyes, as he attempted to walk off, only to be dragged in the opposite direction. "C'mon, I need your help with some paper work. You look like you wanna bitch anyways." Ino was a nice girl, actually, one of the few he could stand nowadays it seemed to be, and at one time Naruto would often go to her just to vent, but much like his relationship with Sasuke, it began to drift as work was piled on. "We haven't talked in a while, anyways." The girl insisted, as she brought Naruto into her office and closed the door behind the both of them. "I just need you to help me sign Kyuubi's name to these papers. He's too lazy to do it himself, so he just told me to get it all done." She rolled her eyes and huffed as she walked behind her desk and plopped down, gathering up the paperwork and sliding half over for Naruto to work on. The blonde sat himself across from the woman, and grabbed a pen out of the cup that was set off to the side.
"How have you been, Ino?" He asked, as he began to forge his boss's signature on seemingly important documents.
"I've been fine, clearly busy, but I'm sure you could understand that," She sighed, "What about you? I'm hearing rumors about you and Kyuubi again." Rumors would come and go, and they were always the same. Naruto was sleeping with the boss, a lot more than most employees who would occasionally throw themselves at him for the hell of it, for maybe a higher ranking of some sort.
"Ah… Yeah." Naruto admitted quietly, clearing his throat. He continued to scrawl the signature down, paper after paper, occasionally glancing up to look at Ino, who's brows furrowed.
"That's so unhealthy. You know you're not stable enough be with someone like…. Kyuubi…" She shuddered noticeably and made a sound of disgust. "I mean, I work for the man, but… C'mon, you know you have the ability to get anyone you want, right?" She chuckled, looking up from the paper work to eye the head of blonde hair before her.
"I know, I know." Naruto waved her off, sighing. "I'm trying to figure myself out Ino, and I'm trying to get out of this thing with Kyuubi… It's all the weirder now that he's married." Ino nodded in agreement, looking back down to her work and continued to write out the signatures.
"How about Sasuke, how's he doin'?" She asked almost nervously, briefly looking over to the other before she went on writing.
"I wouldn't know… he's been so busy lately it's seemed." Naruto grumbled softly, setting down his pen and rolling his wrist, he wasn't used to writing so much, his job didn't really require it.

"He still... you know..." Sasuke had had a bit of a drug problem upon their starting up, and while it was all good, done and over, some people couldn't seem to forget about it, and Naruto was one of them. He shook his head, and sighed.
"I don't think so," He nibbled on his bottom lip, "He's been spending a lot of time down by the Cursed Mark though." The Cursed Mark was a drug industry that's company basically competed with Kyuubi's business at every turn. It's owner, Orochimaru, was a disgusting man whom never seemed to take his eyes off Sasuke whenever he was in his presence... It was disgusting, and horrifying. "But I haven't seen any evidence of him actually... y'know, doing anything." Ino seemed relieved by the news, and she let out a soft sigh to display her feelings.
"Good," She said with a nod of her head.

"He still with that whore?" Ino asked, making Naruto laugh softly as he picked his pen back up and leaned forward.
"You mean Sakura, or Karin?" Naruto corrected, "He's… " He sighed, "I don't even know what's with him. He's "with" Sakura, but not at the same time. He thinks it's okay to let her think this is a closed relationship, but he's off still attacking anyone he can, namely Karin and a bunch of other disgusting sluts." He frowned and paused in his writing, setting the pen down. "It's actually kinda pissing me off, y'know? You'd think if you could get anyone you wanted, you would pick someone… decent, and not crazy." Ino chuckled softly, and shrugged her shoulders.
"Isn't Sasuke the type not to believe in romantic love? He probably doesn't believe in marriage either," She rolled her eyes, "He's the type that's gonna fuck a lot of immature whores, and he'll figure life out the hard way when he's entirely alone in the future and living off coke and heroin. He'll burn bridges, and lot of them, with the way he lives life." Naruto grimaced- it was a bit of a harsh blow towards his friend, but he couldn't really find it in him to disagree. She shook her head in slight disappointment at the thought, "I see him turning into Kyuubi, at this rate." Naruto looked up, his brows furrowing. He hated the idea that someone like Sasuke could turn into someone like Kyuubi, it truthfully made him the slightest bit nervous and he frowned at the idea.
"You don't really think he would become… that." Ino shrugged, though she seemed pretty confident in her theory that Sasuke would be the next number one asshole-whore in a couple of years, should Kyuubi ever choose to step down. For Sasuke's sake how hoped that never happened… he liked the old Sasuke… "But… Naruto, he's your best friend. He may be a blind fool, but I doubt he'll just… leave you." She smiled warmly, "You just gotta be persistent with him, don't let him shove you off to the side like that. You know whatever he's going out to do isn't that important." She smirked, shaking her head. "You could do so much better yourself, though, y'know?" She smiled warmly and tilted her head to the side, "I still see you around, you follow every person you meet around like a lost puppy thinkin' they're gonna help you out of these problems of yours." She pointed her pen at him, "You gotta work to fix yourself, or at least try… 'cause right now Sasuke ain't gonna help you, and Kyuubi's gonna break you and laugh at you afterwards." Naruto frowned, and dropped his gaze to the remaining stack of papers before him.

He knew she was right. He depended on so many people at so many different times, and then he was thoroughly disappointed when they didn't come through. He should have guessed Sasuke would shut him down today, and last night Kyuubi would take advantage of him and leave him without so much as a flick of his hand. He knew what was going to happen next almost all the time, and yet he still wandered in blindly and let himself get crushed. He was an idiot, a fool, and he knew he had to work on himself a bit more before he could try and find someone to really help keep him up. It was just going to take some time.
