Warning-There will be self-mutilation, attempted suicide, murder, swearing, Yaoi, OOC, lemons, limes, Sakura bashing, and all of that other good stuff. Don't like, don't read.

Ok, I've noticed how long my author's notes are, so I'm going to try and shorten them. Enjoy the story!

I'd like to thank frizzy197(Really? I'm beginning to hate this story. I'm running out of inspiration. Oh, well. Thanks for the compliment, it really helped to motivate me.), jenthecaliforniagirl2004, psalmofsummer(I'm glad you weren't feeling lazy.), roboguy45(Me too!), deleriousfaith(I'll see what I can do. Evil laugh), SD9(Thanks for the info), emokitti(Refer to deleriousfaith), crazy novelist-san(Muchas gracias!), UchihaNightFlower(Sorry), evilgoddess 1990, and sedaseda(I know! And don't worry, I hate it when Naruto and Sasuke die too, so it's not happening). REVIEW!!! Even if you're flaming my story, I'd still like a reaction so I can make it better. The only time I will ignore a flame is if it is over my style of writing, cause then I'll just laugh at you for reading a story about something you don't like. If you don't believe me, look at my author's note last chapter.

WARNING- I had several reviewers ask for it, so here it is. A character is going to die. I'm sure you can guess which one. There will also be the self-mutilation I have been mentioning. I take the hospital scene of this chapter directly from something that happened to me in real life. Enjoy!


(This is a brief recap of what happened last chapter.)

Okay, so Sasuke went to the hospital to find out why his blonde wasn't in school. He bought some flowers, but when he walked in and saw Sakura kissing Naruto he dropped them and began to cry.


(This is the beginning of this chapter, Sasuke POV.)

'This can't be happening. Not again. I can't take this again,' are the thoughts running through my brain. I know I'm crying, and that Uchihas aren't supposed to cry, but I can't stop. I can practically feel the small part of my heart that had been left being ripped to shreds. It hurts so much. I just want the pain to stop. I'll do anything, just make the pain stop.


(Naruto POV)

'Oh, shit,' was all I could think. My brain was having trouble moving beyond that. First Sakura comes in here apologizing and telling me how much she loves me and wants me back, then she kisses me, and then to top it all off, Sasuke walks in and sees it. I just want to crawl in a hole and die when I see the haunted and pained expression in his eyes. Then I catch sight of the flowers. God I'm such a prick. I yell at him, spit on his love, and even threaten him, yet he brings me flowers. I don't know what to do, and it's all Sakura's fault. I turn angry eyes on her.


(Sakura POV)

'It's working,' I thought gleefully as I saw Sasuke's heartbroken expression. He must be in so much pain seeing me kiss Naruto like this. My plan is going so well! Sasuke is already jealous, and any minute he'll come rushing over to pull me away from Naruto and kiss me and tell me how much he loves me. (She's delusional.)


(Normal POV)

All three remained silent for a while, two wishing to die and one growing impatient because of the wait. Sakura shifted slightly, and that seemed to bring Sasuke out of his dark thoughts. He picked up the flowers and walked over to Naruto's bed.

"I'm sorry for interrupting," he murmured softly, looking anywhere but at Naruto. "I just came to see if you were ok." He then held out the flowers to the blonde angel that he was beginning to think would be forever beyond his reach.

"Thank you," Naruto whispered just as softly as he reached out to take the flowers, unknowingly revealing his arms to Sasuke, who gasped when he saw. Naruto immediately hid his arms under the blankets again, but Sasuke set the flowers aside and grabbed them so he could get a closer look.

Over Naruto's forearms were crisp white bandages with small trails of red in some spots. Sasuke looked up at Naruto, who was looking away and trying to hide his arms again.

"You slit your wrists(I know, way overused, sorry)," Sasuke breathed, horrified. "What would make you do something so stupid?"

Just as Naruto was about to answer, Sakura broke in. "Because he's an idiot, obviously," she said, annoyed at being ignored. "Who cares about him Sasuke? It's his own fault this happened," at this Naruto looked away with a shame-filled face, "Don't you have something you want to say to me?" She fluttered her eyelashes and smiled, thinking he would now confess his love.

"As a matter of fact, I do have a couple of things I'd like to say to you Sakura," the raven-haired boy replied. He looked up at her, but instead of the love-filled smile she had been expecting he had a disgusted glare directed at her. "First of all, I care about him. Second of all, and I'm only going to repeat this one last time, I HATE YOUR FUCKING GUTS!" At that point his voice went up and he was practically screaming at her, causing Naruto to jump and Sakura to cower away.

Sakura jumped back up and walked over to him. "Why don't you love me?" She cried, tears falling down her face. "I'm the prettiest and most popular girl in school, and you're the handsomest and most popular guy. We were made for each other!"

"You just answered your own question slut," He scoffed. "I could never love someone who based a relationship solely upon looks. Besides, I'm GAY, and I'm in love with Naruto. I have been for a long time. So get over yourself and piss off."

At this Sakura's face was etched with disbelief, while Naruto's looked thrilled. "So you really meant it?" He asked. "You really do care for me?"

"Of course I do idiot," Sasuke smirked, "I wouldn't have said so otherwise."

The happy moment was shattered, however, when Sakura spoke, "Fine," she whispered. He looked in her eyes and shivered when he saw that they had turned to ice. "Be that way. But know that if I can't have you, I sure as hell am not going to let this brat get you either."

When she turned away from Sasuke and pulled something out of her jacket his martial arts training kicked in and he jumped forward, delivering a roundhouse-kick to the back of her head and sending her flying over the bed and across the room, where she landed, crumpled on the floor.(YAY!)

"Holy shit!" Naruto yelled, turning toward Sasuke with frightened eyes. "Did you see that? She was gonna kill me!" He began to shake slightly and Sasuke walked over and gave him a quick hug.

"It's ok Naruto. I stopped her, and I'll make sure that she never hurts you again," he whispered into the blonde's ear, causing him to shiver for a totally different reason. Sasuke released the boy reluctantly and headed over to check on Sakura. He rolled her over with his foot, then froze at what he saw.(DUN DUN DUUUUUN)

Apparently, when she had turned she had pulled out a knife, which was now planted firmly between her ribs from the force of his kick. She was dead.


Don't you guys love me? I end my chapters at the best moments. P I know the part with the knife was a little confusing, but work with me ok? Ok, I've got a few important things to say, so you guys who don't usually should read this author's note for me. One thing is that I would like to let you know that the next chapter will be the last, but it will also be incredibly longer than all the others. What I want to know is if you guys want a lemon in it? Vote in your REVIEW! Aren't those things nifty?

Next, when I first started reading fanfics last year, I ran across a SasuNaru that I really liked. I wasn't a member back then, so I couldn't add it to my favorites or anything. Anyway, I went about a month of not getting on the site before I actually became a member, and by then I'd forgotten what the fic that I liked was called, so I need help. The only part I really remember is the last chapter I read before I stopped. Ok, Naruto and Sasuke are roommates at a school. I remember one scene where they are dared to run around the school naked by Lee or Neji, I can't remember which, and Naruto hurts his ankle. There's another scene where Naruto goes to get food and comes back with nothing but sweets, but Sasuke eats them anyway because he loves him. In the last chapter I read they were on a field trip and Sakura sees them kissing and then there's a lemon in the woods. GAH! I can't really remember anything else, but if you know this story, please tell me. Thank you!

Two-I have a question that I need answered. I have an idea for a new fanfic, but I need LOTS of info on the tailed demons to write it. I know a little, but I need much more. If you know a lot, or if you know of someone or someplace I could go to to find out more, I would really appreciate it. Arigato!

Last thing, I promise. I have several ideas for my next fanfic, and I want you guys to vote on them as well. These are all MY ideas by the way, so don't even think of using them. Anything posted under my name is copyrighted by me unless I give a disclaimer, got it?

That includes my character, who will be in my next fic, no matter which one it is. I think you guys will like my OC.

Ok, here are the options.

Main characters-Gaara, OC; Gaara, Sasuke, and Naruto are a team of assassins that need a new member after their other one retires. But they're incredibly shocked and not at all happy with what they end up with. Will Gaara find love? Yaoi, GaaraOC, NaruSasu, death(no main characters), Sakura bashing(in all of my stories. I just don't like the bitch.), swearing(In all of my stories.)

Main characters-Naruto, Sasuke; Naruto would do anything for Sasuke, but what happens when that love and trust gets taken advantage of? Will Sasuke realize what he has before it's gone? Of course not, then there wouldn't be a story! Yaoi, SasuNaru, GaaraOC, rape, Sakura bashing, swearing

Main characters-OC, Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara; OC and Naruto are sibling vets with an interesting past, and Gaara and Sasuke are Orochimaru's henchmen sent to seduce and capture them for a reason they don't know. What happens when they take their mission a little too seriously? Yaoi(Have you noticed that I'm obsessed yet?), GaaraOC, NaruSasu, abuse, rape, blood, swearing, and I'll work Sakura bashing in there somehow.

Please vote in your review which one you want, and whether you want a lemon in the last chapter. PUSH THE BUTTON!!!!!!
