NaruSaku Broken Chapter 4
Sakura left the meeting in high spirits; Naruto had finally come home. Finally she could be with him, confess her love to him. 'I hope he still loves me' she thought to her self. She soon saw Saskue and went to go talk to him. Leaning against a tree the dark haired man smiled when he saw her walking towards him. "Sakura how are you?" Sakura looked up at him "I'm fine and you?"
Saskue grimaced "I'd be better if Naruto would cool off." Sakura looked up in confusion at him. "Why is he so angry with you anyways?" Saskue sighed, "He is out of control. He wants to kill over things that aren't true. You've seen him in his demon form, he wants me dead."
Sakura couldn't believe what she was hearing. "No Naruto-Kun just lost control that time, he's a good man." Saskue just put his head down, "I'm sorry I had to be the one to tell you Sakura, but he tried to kill me at the valley of the end." Sakura shook her head "I will talk to him about it tonight at dinner." 'There is no way he would do that' She thought.
Saskue's head shot up "dinner?" Sakura nodded excitedly "I am going on a date with Naruto-Kun tonight!" Saskue smiled at her 'this will be to easy…' Saskue gave Sakura a hug "I'm so happy for you, just be careful for me ok?" Sakura nodded into his shoulder "Thanks for being a great friend Saskue." Sakura couldn't see the evil smile that formed on his face.
Sakura went home and showered. She picked out a nice outfit, did her makeup, and dried her beautiful pink hair. About ten minutes after she finished she heard a knock on her door. She walked over to the door and opened it to reveal Naruto. Naruto and Sakura both stared at each other in a stupor.
Naruto couldn't help but be taken by her form fitting pale pink dress with red straps, and trim. He was slack jawed at her beauty she really was the fairest woman he had ever laid eyes on. Sakura was blushing madly as it was the first time she had seen him in dress clothes. Naruto was dressed in a simple black suit with a white shirt underneath. He had a black tie on and she couldn't help but get lost in his eyes.
Naruto laughed and scratched the back of his head as he brought out a bouquet of roses. "Good to see you Sakura-Chan. These are for you," he said holding out the flowers to her. Sakura smiled wide as she took the flowers from him and went inside to put them in water. She returned to a waiting Naruto with one arm outstretched. "Shall we?" He asked with a mischievous glint in his eye. Sakura beamed at him and took his arm in hers as she was escorted into town.
Sakura was taken to a fancy restaurant that just opened in Konohoa. Chouji's father ran it, and it was beautiful. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was romantic, and Naruto was the perfect gentleman. Sakura was mentally beating herself up. 'I could have been going on dates with him forever. God I am so stupid, I didn't see the perfect guy when he was literally right in front of me for all these years.' Sakura and Naruto enjoyed their conversation and soon Naruto paid the bill and the two left to go get ice cream.
They took their time strolling arm in arm to the ice cream stand. Naruto asked Sakura if she wanted to sit while he went to get it. She nodded at him and sat down on one of the benches outside. She smiled at his back as he walked into to the shop. 'I don't want to go home, I wish this night would never end.' Sakura smiled as she thought of her loving Baka.
"Sakura?" Sakura turned to see Saskue. "Hey Saskue, what are you doing here?" Saskue smiled "Just getting some ice cream, how's the date?" Sakura's face lit up "It's going great, this night is perfect!" Saskue smirked as he saw Naruto turn in the shop holding two cones of ice cream. "I guess ill see you later" he leaned in and gave her a hug. Saskue smiled knowing Naruto had seen every second of it. 'Your so easy Naruto, now attack me so she knows the real you.'
Sakura's breath caught as she felt that same tremendous power radiate into the air. Wide eyed she turned to see Naruto glaring at Saskue. The ice cream cones he had been holding lay smashed on the ground. "I see" was all he said before he turned and vanished into the night. "Sakura I'll go talk to him." Saskue also disappeared from her. 'What is going on?' She wondered to herself, I think there hiding something from me.
Naruto was walking through the park trying to clear his head. "So she did go crawling back to him." Naruto laughed a little in spite of himself, "I should have seen it coming." 'I have to tell her, Saskue is a bastard!' Naruto couldn't help but let his anger rise at the thought of his filthy hands on her. Naruto stopped dead in his tracks as he felt a familiar chakra. "Good thing I caught up to you Dobe, Sakura-Chan…" His sentence was interrupted by a fist to his jaw; he flew backwards and hit a tree. "Don't you ever say her name!" Naruto screamed as he leapt at Saskue.
Naruto grabbed Saskue by the collar of his shirt and lifted him high on the tree. He drew back his right fist and delivered a devastating punch to Saskue's ribs. The tree behind him splintered from the blow. Naruto was choking him as the red chakra was slowly consuming his body. "Give me one reason I shouldn't end your pathetic existence right here you mother fucker." Saskue smirked at him, "Because she would cry if I died."
Naruto cringed; he still would never do anything that would upset Sakura. Saskue smiled at him "Still always putting her first eh? To bad the bitch will always choose me over you…" Naruto noticed his smile and wiped it off with a backhand that sent him reeling. Saskue landed on his feet ready to fight. "Chidori!" He yelled as his right hand exploded in a crackling blue light. "Rasengan!" Naruto yelled as a blue ball of rapidly spinning chakra materialized in his open palm. "Give it up Teme your outclassed, Naruto warned."
Saskue began to run and Naruto charged. The attacks were full power. After this clash one would stand while the other fell. Naruto had no intention of holding back this time, unlike at the valley of the end. This time he would bring Saskue down. However Naruto's hand was stayed when he heard the voice of his angel. "Stop it!" Sakura cried running towards them. Naruto bowed his head; his rasengan disappeared as Saskue's hand shot through his chest.
Sakura ran forward to them Saskue was smiling in triumph until Naruto poofed out of existence. His smile faded and his eyes widened as a rasengan was thrust into his spine. Saskue was hurled forward into a tree and it snapped in half as his body fell limp to the ground. In a flash of yellow Naruto was on top of Saskue beating him senseless. His fists repeatedly collided with the traitors face. Naruto was caught off guard and struck hard in the temple with a chakra punch.
Naruto stared in shock at a furious Sakura standing over Saskue. "How could you?" She spit at him in her fury. Slowly she raised the broken Saskue into her lap as she began to heal him. Saskue spat out blood and wiped his jaw clean. His eyes lighting in a sinister smile behind the broken nose Naruto had gave him. "Sakura" Saskue began "get away from him he's dangerous."
Naruto growled as his eyes turned red and his whisker marks went black. "You bastard! Stop playing with people, how dare you bring her into this!" Naruto was enraged as he ran to Saskue. However Sakura stepped in front of him. Naruto looked at her "Sakura you don't unders…" Naruto was slapped hard in the face; his head lurched to the side. "Stay away from Saskue!"
Naruto slowly turned his head to her a look of hurt and disbelieve written across his features. "Sakura-Chan I…" "Don't call me that!" She screamed. "He was right this whole time! I can't believe I defended you… you… you Monster!" As soon as she said that her hand flew to her mouth. The look on Naruto's face told her that she had just crushed the man she thought unbreakable. The eyes that were so pure and full of life, looked murky and dead. Sakura couldn't bear to see him like this he was so just not Naruto. "That's not the first time you called me that ne Sakura?"
"Naruto I didn't mea…" The glare that hit her stopped her sentence in its tracks. "Save it Sakura." He replied his voice was so full of hurt it sounded like he was at the end of his rope. The Familiar honorific was gone; the simple absence of the Chan was like a knife to the heart.
" I spent so much of my life chasing after you, to be accepted by you. I fought by your side, I cried with you. You held me together when my body was broken, I held you together when your parents died. I shared the joy of being promoted to Anbu with you. I was the first one you told of your promotion to head of the hospital. All of the pain, sorrow, happiness, laughter, and joy we experienced over our lives. We shared all of it together, but I never knew how you really thought of me. I was never good enough for you, and when I was I couldn't return your feelings. I was always just the demon boy ne Sakura?"
Sakura was sobbing she had fallen to her knees as Naruto continued to bare his soul. "I never expected it from you, I guess I never really had a chance after all. Teme you can have her, after promising to never admit my feelings to her to get you back this seems easy." Sakura eyes widened in shock and revelation, that's why he was so distant. That's how he got Saskue back?
"Sakura I hope you are happy with your choice, I will never again bother you with my love. I kindly request that you stay out of my life." Sakura couldn't take how cold he was being to her; it was ripping her apart inside. "I hope you find love with the man that slaughtered your parents." Sakura gasped as she turned to stare at Naruto.
"Teme you didn't tell her?" Naruto smirked at the crippled man bleeding on the ground. "Don't look to surprised Sakura, why do you think I attacked him 4 years ago? I was banished from the village I loved because I wanted to avenge the ones you loved. Isn't it ironic that you fought for him? That you attacked me physically and emotionally to defend a traitor that murdered your kin?" Naruto laughed a cold bitter laugh. He looked at both of them with disgust "I hope you two can be happy, I can honestly say you deserve each other." With that Naruto disappeared in a flash of yellow.
Sakura was crying as a masked anbu swooped down. "Is everything alright Haruno-San?" Sakura lifted a finger at Saskue "arrest that man for the murder of my Father and Mother." The anbu nodded and made off with Saskue into the night. Sakura was on her feet running before she knew it. Tears streamed down her eyes as she ran blindly. The only thing that mattered was finding Naruto. She felt his chakra fluxing and she sped of towards it.
Sakura was stopped by the two men Naruto had come with to the meeting each blocking her path. " Mizukage-Sama does not want to see you Sakura-San." Sarenji said in a cold voice. "I have never seen my Kage this upset in the 3 and a half years I have known him. What did you do to him?" Sakura shrunk under the wrath of his gaze. "Please" she begged, "I have to see him. I have to make sure he is alright." Sarenji glared at her "Mizukage may be a very forgiving man, but I am not. I will allow you to speak to him. However if you ever hurt him like this again." "I wont" was her simple reply as she ran forwards to Naruto's chakra.
Naruto had spent the last fifteen minutes destroying trees in a training ground with his fists and wind attacks. His hand was stayed as he felt two arms wrap around his torso. He could feel her warmth pressed against his back. The sound of her sobs against his frame. Naruto stiffened under her touch, no matter how much he wanted to hate her he couldn't. If Naruto ever had a weakness it was Sakura crying.
Naruto turned his body to see her shaking form. "Sakura I…" He was cut off as her lips crashed into his. The kiss was sloppy, and wet but said everything she needed to say to him. It was filled with passion, desire no a need. It was as if Naruto was air and she was drowning. Sakura was clinging to him desperately even when her body was pressed into his she wanted to be closer. It spoke of love gentle and sincere, and the passion she has for him.
Naruto had trouble registering all that was happening. The woman he has loved for as long as he can remember is kissing him. Her lips are trembling as the repeatedly draw his in. He could taste the salt of her tears, he could feel the sobs rack through her body. Above Naruto knew this kiss was real, the emotions it possessed were genuine. He knew beyond a shadow of a doubt Sakura Haruno loved him with all of her heart.
Naruto withdrew from her lips and touched his forehead to hers. With rough hands he gently wiped her tears as he breathed her name. "Sakura-Chan… I love you." Sakura smiled sweetly at him the Chan was back and he had just said the words she had dreamed of for the past 4 years. "I love you too Naruto-Kun." Still smiling she captured his lips as her arms found their way around his neck. Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki had finally embraced the love the held for each other.
Naruto grimaced as he faced her. "Sakura-Chan I'm so sorry I…" Sakura cut him off by placing a finger over his lips. A sensation that sent a chill down his spine, "you have nothing to be sorry for." Naruto nodded and embraced the love of his life. He finally had her, and he didn't plan on letting go anytime soon.
