Hello again.

You're not really voting for me, are you? I can see it, yes… It's as clear as Sasuke's lust for Naruto… Anyway, I'm sure most of you didn't care about the note and checked my profile for the voting link. But I'll still be a nice girl and give you the next chapter for reaching 90 votes. Another 30 votes will still be bringing you the next chapter.

I also haven't got enough people interested in helping me with this fiction. So I guess you'll be reading this un-beta-d for a long while.

Trapped In Happiness

Chapter 4:

When Naruto returned home with Bolt, the scene welcomed him was a disaster. His wife was sleeping in their room, her laptop on the floor, broken. There were little broken pieces that belonged to an unknown CD. She was shiverng on the bed, probably from both cold and a nightmare.

'Is she upset because of the doctor results?' Naruto thought. As he walked into his office in his home, he took his cellphone out and pressed three for speed-dial. For his luck, the call was answered on his first try.

"Yes, Shachou?" asked Shikamaru's bored tone. Naruto sighed "Our shift is over, Shika. Just call me by my name."

"Naruto, how can I help you?"

"I was thinking that… Would it be ok if I bring Bolt to your house for a sleep over with Shikadai? Something's wrong with Hinata. I don't know what yet. She's sleeping but our room is a mess. I just…" he stopped, sighing once more. He didn't have to explain that much in detail but he was confused.

"Of course he can stay over the night. Gaara and I were going out for a short shopping. We can get him from your house."

"Thank you, man… You're the best."

Half an hour later, Shikamaru and Gaara was on his door, waiting for Bolt to join them in the car.

"Thank you once again, guys. I would invite you in but… You know…"

"Temari's waiting at home. We wouldn't be able to stay anyway." Gaara said with a soft smile on his face and added "Don't worry about her too much. She's a reasonable woman. You'll talk it out."

Naruto nodded. Then Bolt came running to the car with his back pack on. "Did you get everything? Your pajamas, your toothbrush, your toys, another pair of underwear?"

"Of course, daddy… Thank you for letting me stay with uncle Gaara!"

"You're staying with Shikadai, you brat! Don't bother the adults too much. They have their own bussiness."

He made sure the small one fastened his seatbelt on the back before he closed the door and waved them goodbye. When he returned their bedroom, Hinata was awake. Her eyes were blood red, there were make-up stains on her cheeks. Naruto got in the room and sat on their bed softly, making sure Hinata saw his moves and was comfortable.

"I sent Bolt to Shika's house. I thought we could use some time alone. How are you?"

"I don't know…" the woman said. Her voice wasn't shy as usual. It sounded tired and empty. Her throath was sore from crying. Naruto reached to the glass bottle on their bedside table he placed before he sent Bolt to Shikamaru. He poured a glass of water and gave it to his wife. She took it without any eye contact. After she gave back the glass, Naruto leaned towards her. He reached her face and touched her chin softly. As he tilted her head to look in her eyes he whispered.

"You said you were ok. What happened, Hina? Tell me, please. What did the doctor say?"

"Nothing. He checked me on ultrasound. I'm completely fine. He said it was too early to think we're unable to have a second child in normal ways."

"That's wonderful. Then what made you so… sad?"

He waited in silence just like his wife. Hinata turned her head away once again.

"Does it have anything to do with the broken CD on the ground?"

She flinched unintentionally. Her wide eyes found Naruto's concerned ones, looking to find any information about the content of the disk. Then she shook her head, how could he know? Playin the disk was impossible.

"So it does…" Naruto said again, letting her know that he caught her "What was in it?"

She remained silent. It wasn't like she didn't want to talk about it. She did. But she wasn't sure how she could ask his husband about the content. 'Were you a gay porn star during university?' Yeah, that really would help them.

"Is someone harrassing you in any way, Hina? Is it something you can't talk to me about? It's ok, I'll help you with anything."

She shook her head softly, to which question of him, she didn't know. Maybe she should have just cleaned around and keep everything to herself. Telling Naruto about it wasn't necessary. Whoever sent that disc, wanted nothing from them. They just wanted to make sure Hinata learned about Naruto's past.

"Ok. Someone's harrassing you, obviously. Whatever was in that disc, you can't talk to me about it. Should I call the police or a psychologist? Which one would help you?"

She didn't answer, thinking it as a small bluff.

"Ok, I'm calling the police. Talk to them please. And if it's something serious, they could direct us to someone who will help."

Then she saw it. Naruto dialed the numbers, pressed the green mark on the screen of his phone. The waiting sound came as she found herself reach for her husband and scream "NO!"

Naruto turned his head and looked at his wife calmly. "Hinata… I don't know what to do either" he said as he cancelled the call. "Put yourself in my shoes. You come home to find me in a mess, cried myself to sleep. What would you do? Do you really think I should let it go? If it isn't something that important, why didn't you let it go?"

She focused her eyes on her own hand which were playing with the hem of her lovely blouse. She was in shame. Just a few hours ago, she thought she was going to support Naruto, keeping his every secret. She knew the blonde wasn't the one at fault. Yet, she had already started to punish him, hadn't she?

"I… When I returned home, I saw an envelope addressed to my maiden name. The disc was in it" she said softly. When her eyes turned to the water bottle once again, Naruto took the hint. He turned and gave her another glass of water, waited patiently for her to drink. As she gave the glass back, she shortly made eye-contact with him. Even that was enough to tell Naruto that she was trying to open up.

"It said 'Be alone' on the disc so I got suspicious. I put it into the CD player on my laptop. I made sure it contained no virus or anything. Then I played it. It had 13 videos. I played the first one. It was… some kind of an interview of you in which you told about yourself and you… showed your body."

Naruto's eyes widened. Of course he knew the video. Although he had forgotten about them years ago, at some point in his life, the videos have haunted him in his dreams.

"No! No! Nononononono! Please…" he found himself whispering. Hinata knew if she stopped telling, they were never be able to talk it out like this ever again. "That video gave a password to play the next one. And it went on like this… It was all you with… Raven."

A breathless sob escaped from Naruto's throath. He was pressing his right hand on his mouth, wide eyes with big tears looking nowhere in particular. In just a few seconds, Naruto almost got smaller and smaller in front of Hinata. She bit her lower lip. She felt like she had turned her back to her husband when he needed her the most.

She turned towards Naruto, put her hand gently on his shoulder and whispered "It's ok, Naruto-kun… I just… wanted to talk… Like you said…"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I don't know what to say, Hinata! I'm really sorry! I'm…" he wasn't able to go on, tears rolling down his whiskered cheeks, sobs choking his words.

"It's not your fault. It shouldn't even mean anything to me. We hadn't known each other at that time. It's just… What hurt me was… I watched them all for nothing. I had to watch all 13 of them and in the end it didn't have neither a threat message, nor a blackmail note asking for something. Someone wanted specially me to see how you… learned… touching a man. I was just angry that I played into their hands…"

After hearing her words, Naruto felt lucky that he was married to this sweet woman. This woman, who knew almost nothing about sex before their marriage now was able to support him about the gay porn he played in during the most pathetic time of his life.

"It wasn't supposed to be sold in Japan" he murmured as he wiped his eyes with the hem of his sleeves. Hinata nodded "It isn't… I searched for those videos on Google after seeing the first one. Nothing comes up. It's unknown in most of the world."

Naruto looked at her with a surprised expression. He, somehow, felt safe. Despite being that distant to these kinds of things, Hinata were trying to guard their family from getting hurt.

"This only leaves the company that recorded it. But… After I stopped playing in those, I… I went to there once more, to get something I forgot there. The company had shut down. I found no one. And no trace of the people worked there. I guess it was the reason I forgot about those things so easily. After a while, it felt like some kind of dream. It wasn't real. I didn' do something like that."

Hinata pulled her legs towards her chest on the bed, then turned her body to her right just to be closer to Naruto. She ran a shaky hand through the short golden hair of her husband. Then she whispered "I want to know about it. I want to learn that part of your life just to… you know… stand tall next to you."

Naruto nodded "Ok… Would you mind if I changed first? I feel way too cold. I wanna get in bed before starting to talk about those days."

NnNnN

They both changed into their pajamas and got in the bed. They lied side by side, facing each other. Naruto got closer to wrap his arms around her after covering both of their bodies with their comforter.

"It was the beginning of the second year of university. I was pretty shaken with the death of Jiraiya. He was the only one I had in life. Tsunade was there for me too but Jiraiya was my father figure. So, for a while I didn't know what to do with my life anymore. After moving in with Tsunade, being around a 'female' and getting to know her way too feminen life style I decided that I didn't have too much time. I needed to graduate as soon as possible and move out to my own place. I needed to save money to rent my own place and start my own bussiness.

I had already started to work on part time jobs during middle school. But it gave me only enough to spend on cafeteria food and some school expenses. During universtiy, I was working as a graphic designer. Doing what I like and earning money was right, but it wasn't enough to move out.

While all of these were going on, I was still a 'social butterfly' as my friends called me. I still liked hanging out with my friends and I had this huge crush on a girl named Haruno Sakura. She was a cute girl, not really sexy now I think about it. She was flat, no curves at all. But she had a pretty face, short strawberry blonde hair when he had met, then she dyed it to a soft pink. She was eye-catching. I tried to woo her in every way, chasing after her. I did anything to catch her attention.

She was ok being friends with me. At some point we got really close as friends but I wasn't even close to her ideal guy. She liked mysterious, serious and successful men. She was studing medicine and was the top student of her faculty. I had no chance at all but that didn't keep me from trying.

One day, when I was running after her, she dropped a small piece of paper. It had an address on it. I picked it up and ran after her. If I gave it to her, she was going to thank me, I was going to ask her for a coffee. And then we could finally go on a cute date together.

She turned a corner. When I went after her, I saw that she was talking to a guy called Kabuto. He was the assistant teacher assigned to her class. They always talked in secret, away from the eyes so some of my friends were speculating that they were either going out or were friends with benefits.

That's why when I saw them I decided to stay on the other side of the corner and eavesdrop."

NnNnN

"Wonderful timing, Kabuto-kun. I guess I lost the paper with the address" she said with embarressed green eyes. The man sighed "I'm glad I haven't written anything on that paper except the addess. Here, a new one." This time, it was a piece of paper torn from his notebook.

"Are you sure Raven will be there?" she asked with curiousity. Kabuto nodded "Yep… He's there every day, wheter he shoots a video or not. But I have to warn you. He chooses his own partners. And it seems he's looking for something different this time. I don't think you'll be chosen."

"Then I'll wait until the day he chooses me. If he's anything close to the picture you've shown me… God, Kabuto-kun… Just thinking about him gets me wet… He's absolutely the guy in my dreams."

"Ok, then… Be there right after you're done with your last class. And really, you don't have to wait for him. You'll be paid for every 'activity' you take part in. And the payment changes from five hundred to a thousand."

"I don't need money. I'm in it for Raven. He'll be my big reward."

Then they each walked to different directions like they weren't talking just seconds ago. Naruto gulped. Obviously, the address on the paper was the place Sakura-chan had a date with another man.

Raven…

He clenched his hands. He was going to go there, beat some sense into the man and make sure Sakura-chan was his!

NnNnN

The address on the paper belonged to an apartment in one of the central parts of the city. The whole building looked quite luxuirous. Blonde entered the apartment building without hesitation, ran up the stairs quickly. But when he was in front of the aparment door, he couldn't bring himself to ring the bell.

He didn't know how long he waited there until he heard some noises on the other side of the door.

"Ok, I'll let you know if you get chosen. Make sure you keep the details to yourself" and before he knew it, the door opened.

Kabuto was there with a dark haired, cute girl who waited for him to make some space so she could get out. The girl smiled politely as they looked into each other's eyes "Would you mind, gentleman? I need to be somewhere."

"Sorry… Of course…" Naruto said and took a step to the left, letting her pass. As she descended from the stairs, he heard a soft chuckle from Kabuto "Don't let the appearance fool you, Naruto-kun. 'Snow' is a man."

Naruto didn't know what surprised him more, the fact that Kabuto knew him, or that beautiful creature was actually another male.

"You know me…"

"Yep and I was expecting you too."

"H-how?"

"Well, let's say that seeing you behind the corner with the small paper I gave Sakura was enough of a clue. Come in, let's have a small chat."

Naruto nodded as he followed the man inside. They entered to the waiting room. Kabuto directly walked to behind the desk with some papers on it and seated himself to the comfortable chair while Naruto sat one of the smaller seats in front of the desk.

"So… You were eavesdropping while I talked to Sakura today. Did you understand what we were talking about?"

"Well, I assume this is some kind of a match-making agency. I came here to see that Raven guy and tell him to stay away from Sakura-chan!"

The man laughed as he played with the papers in front of him.

"You have absolutely no idea. I'd like to explain everything to you. But first, I need you to look at the wall behind me."

When Naruto looked, he saw some kind of a camera there. Then a flash popped, temporarly blinding him.

"What the hell!" he yelled. Kabuto smirked as he pushed his glasses up on his nose.

"What I'm going to tell you has to stay between us, Naruto-kun. That's why, I needed some kind of blackmail material. Here, this is a souvenir for you. Also a trinket to keep your mouth shut."

He leaned back to reach one of the cameras. Then he gave the photo he took to the unaware blonde in front of him. It was Naruto's photo. 'Sharingan' name and logo which stayed on the opposite wall of Kabuto were visible on the background.

"Now, this is a proof that you were here. If you don't keep your mouth shut, I'll make sure everyone thinks you're one of our employees."

Naruto swallowed in silent. What ever the mess he was in this time sounded quite serious.

"Sharingan is an adult video company. We record different kinds of porn and sell it. I have to mention to you that whatever you think porn is, actually is nothing near what we record here. Our product is the best, the safest and the most profitable kind of adult movies. And the Raven you wanted to meet is our lead actor. Right now, he's looking for a new partner. That's what Sakura wanted to meet him for."

The only thing Naruto was able to do was to open his mouth, tryint to say something, then closing it.

"Stop gaping like a stupid fish, Uzumaki. It's not the most surprising thing in the world. If you and most of the people watch those videos, someone has to create them. Isn't it right?"

This must have taken Naruto from that surprised state, but it still didn't convince him enough to let the subject go.

"I don't care what this place does. Let me see Raven so I can give him a piece of mind!"

Kabuto was about to scold the boy when the office phone on his desk rang. He checked the caller ID and blinked for a second before answering it calmly.

"Yes? Yeah… I see… Ok, I'll handle it."

He hang up, took a deep breath turned his attention back to Naruto once again.

"Look, Naruto-kun… Raven has nothing to do with it in the first place. He knows nothing about Sakura. He's not trying to steal Sakura from you or anything… I understand your 'infatuation' with Sakura. She's a nice woman, indeed. But you're nothing but a friend to her. You can't make her stay away from Raven. Unless you get Raven for yourself…"

"Is that supposed to be a sick joke or something-tebayo?"

"No, actually… I heard from Sakura that you try to save up some money to move into your own place. I think you should consider working for us. We pay a great amount."

"I heard the amount during your talk with Sakura. It's quite good for a job like this, yet… Five hundred is not nearly enough for me to even consider it."

"It almost doubles if you work with Raven."

"I'm not gay. I'm not going to work with him."

"Don't be that closed minded. Every man likes sex. And Raven… He's 'the proffessional' of sex. He had been with straight men before. No one regretted working with him."

"Then why is he short on male partners?"

"He gets bored quickly. There's nothing to do when he wants to change his partner. And he has high standarts. I mean, I'm asking you this but there's a high possibility that he wouldn't choose you from all those handsome men auditioned for this job."

"What do you say, that I'm ugly? Don't bother me with this stupid things if you think your actor deserves better than me!"

"No… I mean, the job I offered you was just a suggestion since I know you need money and this is a quick way to that.

We're never short handded on actors and actresses. You see the closet behind my desk? All those folders are full of information about the people auditioned and somehow passed. There are almost triple amount applicants when we hire people. What we need help on is to eliminate and keep the valuable ones.

You, on the other hand, I could say you're passing that elimination with just a look at your appearance. I'm just not sure about Raven's choice because he has his own taste. It's not wheter or not you're good enough. Think about it like you choosing Sakura over all the girls in your school.

Anyway, I really suggest you to give it a shot. None of our employees wants to quit. Most of them buy a desent car after one or two month of working. It could provide you with enough money."

Naruto was about to decline once more when one of the doors in the hall to his right opened. Three people exited the room and walked towards them. One of them was tall with a buff body and darker skin then all of them. He had a calm, nice face and orange hair. He didn't seem like someone to play in porn.

Then there was another man, his height was almost the same with blonde but his body had clearly more muscle then Naruto's. He had white, straight hair and beautiful purple eyes. He was cuter than the other guy.

And there was a girl with long, red hair. She had a wonderful body, curved in all the right places. Her almost red, brown eyes were hidden behind rectangular glasses. She was wearing a pair of black mini shorts, a grey shirt that revealed her flat stomach and a belly piercing.

"Any news from Raven? Did he choose me this time?" she asked as she walked towards Kabuto's desk, not acknowledging Naruto's presence. Kabuto smirked "Nope… I told you, he's content with the group the three of you formed. You sell good enough, he's not breaking you up anytime soon."

She frowned as the white haired man walked beside her and threw an arm around her neck "Sorry, Carry-babe… You have to beg for my cock for a while longer…"

Other man joined them, smacking the shorter man on the head softly "No bed-talk outside of the room, Su. And you're interrupting the men's chat."

With that, all eyes turned to the blonde who were watching them with amused eyes. The man called Su chuckled "Hey, ok to not breaking the grup but… Can we add another? I mean, I'd love to touch this eye-candy here…"

Naruto's face quickly heated up, he was red almost to his ears "I'm… I'm not working here yet…"

This made Kabuto smirk "Yes… Yet… So leave now and consider my offer. Ah… By the way, don't give these idiots your real name. In case you start working here, you know…"

To this, Naruto nodded and joined the three as they left the building. As they walked down, the curious man went on questioning him.

"Hey… Sorry if I made you uncomfortable. My nick is Su, you have to do with that for now. So you haven't auditioned today?"

Naruto shook his head "No… I was just returning something to… to… Does he uses his own name?"

"Kabuto? Oh, yes… Since he doesn't appear on videos, it's not a problem for him." Su said and added "But all the others have to use a nick name. Mine is Su, you heard the girl, she's Carry. And the tall monster here with us is Joe."

"Nice to meet you guys… I'm… well… I'm not sure if I give you my name or come up with a nick name in seconds."

After a long while, the taller of them all needed to intervene once again.

"Tell us a nick name, in case. It's not like we'll be offended."

Naruto nodded. Then thought for a second and smiled "Kit, then…"

By now, Su was already in his personal space, showing his pointy teeth with a big grin "Nice to meet you too, Kit. You look like one… A baby fox. You're cute."

"Thank you. I hope we can be friends, if I work here, I mean…"

This time, the girl turned to him and gazed him from head to toe. For the first time, she show some kind of acknowledgement towards him.

"Stop acting like a pussy, will you? What's keeping you from working here anyway? It's not prostitution. You'll get your own partner and be just with that one person. Or with that people… We're a threesome group, as you can see. And no matter what we do in front of the cameras, we're just friends outside" she said. Then she pointed Joe as she added "I mean, can you imagine this guy being a sadist? But he's so different there. It's totally acting, being some other person. I wouldn't change this job for anything."

Naruto watched her thoughtfully for a few more seconds, then smiled softly "I hope I can make my mind quickly in a few days. Then either way, I'll let you guys know. Thank you."

Then they said their goodbyes and left to their own way.
