Naruto walked stiffly away from the Uchiha compound, his mind still trying to wrap around the scene he had just witnessed, trying very hard to ignore the twisted whispers from Kyuubi. His legs carried him toward the other end of town far away from the Uchiha compound.

Naruto passed the park and his heart clenched painfully in his chest when he heard the happy children's laughter as they played, each of them carefree, without a single problem in their world. It made Naruto a little angry that everyone else could be so happy while he was so miserable. But, of course, that was how it always was ever since he had been a child…

"So get revenge…" Kyuubi's voice boomed deeply inside his head. "Use my power and kill them all."

"I'm not going to kill anyone." Naruto replied dully. "You need to get that into your furry little skull and shut up about it."

"You know you want to, brat. I know you do too. Or if you don't want to do it yourself you can just release this damned seal and I'll do it for you." Kyuubi added the last bit as an afterthought a second later.

Naruto shuffled blindly past Yamanaka Flower Shop, he was too busy with arguing with his prisoner to notice the look that Ino and her mother sent him when they saw him pass.

"Like hell, fox. I'd sooner commit suicide than release you and this is saying something."

"Oh Naruto!" A soft but surprised voice called somewhere to his left.

"Dada!" Another voice cried out happily a second later.

Naruto frowned and turned, surprise etched onto his face as he saw Hinata and a small girl with blond hair, done up in short pigtails and shiny pink ribbons, and blue-green eyes.

"What are you two up to?" Naruto asked walking up to the pair, skillfully avoiding the Hyuuga heiress's eyes.

"We going to the pak dada!" Hiromi chirped cheerfully.

"Not right now, sweetie. Daddy has things to do." Naruto said carefully.

Hiromi's face fell and her lower lip trembled; her eyes became glossy as tears began to fall. The toddler let out a fairly loud wail, instantly making Naruto regret his slightly callous words and he scooped Hiromi out of Hinata's arms and gently hugged her.

"Daddy's sorry, sweetie. Shhh…don't cry." Naruto soothed. "Daddy will go to the park with you and Hinata. Please just don't cry anymore."

"Weally?" Hiromi asked through her sobbing.

"Really." Naruto smiled down at the child, despite his current mood.

"Yay!" Hiromi shouted fisting her small, sticky hands into Naruto's shirt. "Let's go Dada!"

Naruto walked back toward the park, his mood starting to darken once again. He knew that his daughter wouldn't be very happy with what he was planning on doing.

"Tsunade's going to hate you too. You realize this right?" Kyuubi asked chuckling lightly.

"Fuck you Fox!"

"Naruto." Sakura whispered sorrowfully staring at the place the whiskered blond had been standing. "Oh god, what have I done? He's going to take Hiromi."

"Of course Naruto's going to take your daughter, the Hokage adores the very ground he walks on." Sasuke said zipping up his pants in a rush; he wore the same horrified look on his face that Sakura imagined was on her own face. "She would give him the world if she could. So she's going to give custody to Naruto. We both know she loves him like a little brother or a son"

Sakura let out a small wail of despair; she wrapped a sheet tightly around her naked body sliding out of the large bed, letting the sheet pool itself around her feet. "We have to go and explain this to him."

Sasuke sighed and threw her clothes on his bed. "What and risk having him kill us?"

Sakura sank back onto the bed and put her head in her hands, tears welling up in her eyes. "Yeah I guess your right."

"SAKURA! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" A voice roared causing the lovers to jump.

"You know, I don't think we'll have to worry about Naruto killing us anymore," Sakura murmured her head snapping up and she stared wide eyed at the door, a fearful look appearing on her pretty face. "I think Ino will take care of that for him."

"Damn right I will!" Ino pushed open the sliding door with such force that it broke as the blond glowered at Sakura angrily. "You don't deserve to have Naruto. He loved you, Sakura and you threw it all away just because of a stupid childhood crush."

"I know." Sakura stared at a spot behind Sasuke's head.

"Then why the fuck did you do it!" Ino finally shouted. "Answer me that, Sakura. If you knew he loved you why did you do something so fucking stupid?"

"I…I don't know." Sakura stuttered. She was stunned that Ino was swearing she normally left that kind of thing to Kiba.

"You can't give me a reason because you don't really give a rat's ass about Naruto! You've never loved him! You were probably just using him!" Ino accused.

"How dare you say that to me! I love my husband more than anything!" Sakura found herself screaming angrily. "Like you really care about Naruto, you hated him just as much as the rest of us."

"Says the girl who cheated on him with his best fucking friend," Ino glared furiously at the pink haired female. "If I had known that you would have turned out this way, I would have never befriended you when we were children."

Sakura gaped momentarily quieted by the blond's admission. "You don't mean that Ino."

"Yes I do!" Ino turned her back on the still naked Sakura. "Don't bother talking to me anymore. I don't wish to associate with cheaters. Goodbye Sakura."

Ino marched out of the room, sneering at Sasuke hatefully when she passed him in the hallway. Sasuke stared stonily at her until she was out of sight and walked back into his bedroom, surprised when he saw Sakura curled up on his bed, her body shaking with the force of her sobs.
