Summary: Sasuke and Sakura have been dating for almost a year when Sasuke finally confronts Naruto about his feelings. As Sasuke pulls Naruto into a relationship, the vessel must choose between decisions he wished he didn't have to. Loosely based off of my version of She's the Competition. SasuNaru, SasuSaku, NaruIno
A/N: Here is the next chapter to Jealousy! This took longer than usual because I forgot what I had saved it under and couldn't find it to save my life. Then I just completely forgot about the story and I apologize! I hope you enjoy!
We did take it slow. But Sasuke would get impatient sometimes and we would end up fighting. Then he would disappear for a few hours before starting his search for me. Most times I would end up at my apartment. Other times I would go to my father's head and stare out at Konoha. Today it was neither. I was at one of the training grounds, blocking my chakra off. I was sitting up in a tree, looking at the sky when I heard it. Cursing coming from my left. "Damn it, Naruto! I know you're hear- FUCK!" Sasuke swore. With a soft thud, he landed on my branch. "Would you quit finding new hiding places?!" He yelled, exasperated. I simply smiled at the raven and held my hand up. He quietly took it and pulled me up. I didn't stop on my feet, however. I kept moving until my lips landed on his. We did this every time, unless the fight was really bad.
Every time he found me, he would have this odd... Scent to him. Like sweat, his cologne, and something else all mixed into one. When I asked him about it, he told me that he got sweaty looking for me. I believed him. After our first fight, Sakura started hanging around again. She still gave Sasuke her sultry looks, wore low-cut blouses with short skirts every time she knew my boyfriend would be around. She got attracted to him once more. When she thought I wasn't looking, she would give me weird looks. Like she wanted me gone. It was often when we butt heads with each other. Of course, Sasuke would do nothing.
All of this and more went through my head as we shared our short kiss. I pulled away shyly and smiled up at him. "I love you." He whispered into my ear. I nuzzled my head into his shoulder. "I love you too." I said, just a softly. There was that smell. With a hint of perfume. "Sasuke?" I asked. He grunted. I pulled away enough so that I could see his face. "Have you been hanging around Sakura again?" I questioned. My heart raced and my hands felt damp. I was terrified of his answer. What if he was cheating on me with her?
"I'll go over to her house and vent." He admitted. I stared into his eyes, looking for any lies. I saw none.
"Sasuke." I said, pulling myself away from him some more, out of his arms. He raised an eyebrow at me. "I think we should stop dating. You obviously need someone who can give you what you want. I'm not there yet. Maybe when I'm ready..." I trailed off. He understood and stepped back. He dropped his arms arms to his sides then sighed. He placed one last kiss on my forehead before leaving me. I crumpled to the branch, melancholy. I waited for the tears. But they wouldn't come. My body felt hollow and my mind numb. What hurt me the most wasn't the fact that we were over. No. It was the way he handled it. No protest, no complaints. Just a simple kiss. He seemed to have no problems with us breaking up.
Slowly, I got up. I looked up to see that it was dark. How long had I been there? Long enough for morning to turn into evening, obviously. With as much caution that I could summon, I jumped off the tree. My foot slipped in the dirt and I fell flat on my face. 'Just my luck.' I thought furiously. I pulled myself back up with the help of a nearby tree. I cursed as I put weight on my right foot. Great! My day just kept getting better! Now I had to limp home! I angrily kicked at the tree that had previously helped me up. Too bad it was with my injured foot. I heard a sickening crack along with a tremendous pain shooting up my leg. Tears sprang to my eyes. I collapsed back onto the ground and glared at my foot. I would have to put it back into place and keep it that way before Kyuubi started healing it. So without giving myself time to think, I grabbed my fragile foot and yanked it back into place. I whimpered in pain when the red chakra started to swirl around it. The bijuu angrily told me to suck it up. With a final hiss, I did.
It took maybe five minutes for the pain to subside after it was healed. I stood up onto my feet cautiously. Adding a little weight at a time, I sucked in a gasp of air. Only to let it out seconds later when I was putting all my weight onto it. My foot was perfectly fine with only a slight tingle from Kyuubi's chakra entering my system. I let out a squeal of happiness. My mood soon fell drastically when I felt something wet hit my cheek. I turned my gaze to the sky, only to see angry black clouds above me. Lightning zig-zagged its way to a tree fairly close to me. A loud boom sounded, causing me to jump a few feet into the air. Just what I needed, some rain. With a sudden boost of energy, I took off. I maneuvered around the trees and ducked before a branch could hit me. But I didn't pay attention to my feet. Something tripped me up, causing me to fly forward. Right into a tree. I could feel blood spilled from my nose and busted lip. With a frustrated grunt, I popped my nose back into place. 'You should be more careful, kit. I'm not healing the next thing you break yourself.' The demon whispered into my mind, chuckling. I growled in return. I took off again, this time at a slower pace, towards the Hell I call home.
Once I got home, I could tell that something was wrong. I closed the door gently before stripping off my dripping wet clothes. They made a damp 'thump' as they hit the floor, one article at a time. I stood stark naked, shivering, in my own home. With a little debate, I decided to take a long, hot shower. Immediately after stepping into the the steaming hot stream of water, my body relaxed. The water was so refreshing on my previously deadly cold skin. The sound of the shower made me feel safe and welcoming. I could see the droplets ricochet off of my body. Slowly running my hands through my hair, I heard a noise that didn't belong to the symphony of the shower. Something soft hit the floor then the curtain moved. Someone was behind it. I was going to die! Someone was going to murder me while I was naked!
Before I could so much as move, a hand slide the curtain to the side, revealing my intruder. Pale skin, great abs, short black hair and obsidian eyes. Sasuke. I attempted to say his name but all that came out was nonsense. "I love you. And I was stupid to just walk away like I did. I don't care if you make me wait years, as long as I'm with you." He whispered. I stood dumbfounded for a second. Then I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. He moved his hands to my waist, trailing my body on the way there. He pulled me closer until I was flush against him. I could feel the water flow over our bodies as he pushed me up against the wall. With no warning, he slipped his tongue inside my mouth. I caught it in between my teeth playfully. I twirled my own pink organ around his before letting it go. We battle for dominance with our tongues until air became desperately needed. I puled away just enough to breathe. "I love you too." I whispered before once more connecting our lips.
"I can wait, but not if you run around naked. Do that and I might pounce on you." He said. I just chuckled, shaking my head.
-SasuNaru-
It took me awhile to piece everything together. I was completely oblivious until Sakura showed up at my door looking for Sasuke. I had told her that he was sleeping. She had then turned around and stormed away. That's when I saw the Uchiha necklace around her. 'That's weird. How come she's wearing that? She hasn't worn that since Sasuke broke up with her.' I thought to myself. That's when it clicked.
The smell of his clothes that night in the shower. The marks on his body that he swore were from missions. His disappearances at night when he was turned on. My God! He's been cheating on me! I slammed the door shut and stalked into my room where the bastard was sleeping. I threw a kunai at him, skimming his cheek. Blood immediately started to flow from the wound that had formed. He woke up, startled, and looked at me. "What the hell, Naruto?! What was that for?!"
"Get the hell out of my house!" I yelled.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" He asked. I put my hand up to my cheek. When did I start crying? It didn't matter now.
"You've been cheating on me!" That got him to calm down. He was probably reassessing the situation and was forming his next words.
"I have not. I've been cheating with you." I flinched at those words.
"Right! Because that's so much better! I'm done with you! I want you and all of your shit out of my house! Tonight!" I yelled. Then I spun around and walked out of my house. A shirtless Sasuke followed. He called out my name, but I ignored him. Up to the point when he grabbed my shoulder to make me face him.
"Look! I know I'm in the wrong, a little. But she wouldn't sleep with me unless we were dating. So I started dating her again, that night we broke up. But you were on my mind the entire night, so I came to make up. Then we got back together."
I waited a moment before I spoke again. "I'm waiting for the part that better justify this entire thing or I'm never talking to you again." I glared at my current ex-boyfriend. He sighed.
"I love you. You know I do. But you tease me with your body then leave me hanging. I need to get my sexual frustration out somehow, and Sakura is my outlet." He explained. I waited, but nothing more came from him.
"I want you out of my house by noon." His eyes widened.
"But that's ten minutes from now!" He exclaimed.
"Looks like you better get started then. Besides, you're Sasuke fucking Uchiha. You can do almost anything." I snarled at him before walking away. I could tell that he hadn't moved, so I didn't look back. If that bastard wanted to go kill himself, I probably wouldn't care at the moment. My usually warm heart had been frozen over with layers of ice. I'm not sure if it was me or the temperature, but I was shivering. I felt my cheeks getting damp again. I wiped the tears away in frustration. "Fucking asshole." I growled. Those words seemed to flip a switch. After I said them, I started sobbing. My knees gave out and I crumpled to the ground.
"Naruto? Are you ok?" A feminine voice asked. I looked up to see Sakura. My heart wanted to be mad at her, to hate her. But I couldn't bring myself to do that. I wanted to tell her the truth; that Sasuke had cheated on her, but I wouldn't be able to bear seeing her face contort into pain and anger. So I just sat there, watching her with teary eyes. She knelt down and wrapped her arms around my neck. "It's ok, Naru." She pulled away enough so she could look into my eyes with her own jade ones. Suddenly, her lips were on mine. My eyes widened with shock while her's closed. Once I was able to function again, I shoved her away. The pinkette landed on her butt as I jumped to my feet.
"What the hell?! You're dating Sasuke!" I yelled at her.
"He doesn't treat me well. He's always ignoring me unless he wants sex." She pouted.
"You're still dating him! You just cheated on him!"
"Not like he hasn't cheated on me before." My body froze, afraid she knew about us. "He got Ino drunk then screwed her!" She yelled. I relaxed a little.
"Is this your first time cheating on him?" I asked.
"No." She scoffed. My sympathy for her evolved into pure rage. But I just stayed calm.
"Well if you're done, I'd like to go home and take a bath to wash off all the filth." I hissed. I turned around and started the walk back to my house. If Sakura was cheating on Sasuke, then it was only fair that she get the same treatment. "Sasuke!" I yelled as I stepped through the threshold. He appeared from the bedroom.
"I'm almost done. I only have a few more things-"
"Shut up." I growled at him. I stormed past him, into the bedroom. He followed. I whipped around to face him. With as much force as possible, I shoved him. He landed on the middle of my bed. Ad he moved to get up, I stopped him by sitting down on his waist. I noticed that he had put a shirt on, as well as some actual pants. I crashed my lips into his, shoving my tongue into his mouth. He placed his hands on my butt while I wrapped mine around his neck. I let my hands travel down his torso, stopping at his waist. I grabbed onto his shirt and tugged. He eagerly let me take it off. He did the same to me. I leaned back a little so I could look at his body. Absolutely delicious. The sight of it made my mouth water. He seemed to notice this as he put his on mine once more. With a little too much ease, he managed to undue my pants and slip them off before taking his own off. He stopped, wanting to know how far I was going to take it this time. I got off of him, and he slumped his shoulders, thinking I was stopping. But then I slipped off my boxers with a smirk. Then he pulled me back onto the bed and showed me how skilled he really was.
