Cheat

by Interrogated Pyjamas

Back to NARUTO baby.

Oh hell yeah.

Warning: Language, Yaoi, Shounen-Ai, Boy/Boy, M/M. Yum yum yum.

Disclaimers: Fuck no.

All I can taste is champagne
When it hits the brain like cocaine
Spinning around and around
We can't make up without your help
I'm falling down

All I can taste is champagne
Another day down the drain
Sleeping around and around
We can't make up without your help
It's over now

Champagne

This fic has more reviews than Abraham and the Dumplings.
Good stuff.

Sorry I take forever to update, I have half chapters done for everything and I never know which one to update.

That's what they all say.

Narutime.

My feet hurt, and I felt as if I was going to collapse from exhaustion at any minute, but other than that, I felt a bit better. For some reason, Kyuubi's 'therapy' worked, it managed to distract me from the complete and utter asshole that was my ex-boyfriend. I smiled slightly as I stepped out of the club, feeling the soothing fresh night air tickle my skin. I didn't need Sasuke, I could live without him. It was just a shame, how ironic that I fell in love with someone who obviously didn't want to, or couldn't return my feelings. I just knew it would take a while for me to be happy for them. It would take a while to accept them as a couple, with me out of the way. It had always been me and Sasuke, with Gaara as the best friend. It would take a while to put myself in Gaara's place.

That is if I wanted to be in Gaara's place. Did I really want to be associated, or even know either of them anymore? The answer was no, I couldn't accept it, I couldn't understand them and I most certainly could not forgive them. They'd played me for a fool, most probably messing about behind my back whilst I sat in the sidelines naïve and unknowing of what they were actually doing and saying. Sure, they'd be saying stuff, they probably laughed and joked about me behind my back, saying how stupid I was, how I supposed they were getting friendlier, I let them hang out with each other, thinking they were becoming friends. So much for trusting either of them, I never even thought about either of them cheating. I just thought it was an unwritten rule, I thought they weren't compatible.

They were both headstrong, determined and brave. They didn't seem to click, but obviously the phrase 'opposites attract', had no place in this messed up love story. That's what everyone had said about us, me and Sasuke that is, that we were complete opposites, complimented each other perfectly, brought out the best in one another. Obviously the best wasn't good enough for Sasuke, maybe he'd lost interest in me along the way. Maybe I just wasn't good enough for him. Or him for me. I didn't know which to chose to be honest. Sure, he'd cheated, but had I provoked it, had I given him a reason to cheat on me? I didn't know. I didn't want to know.

To be honest with you, I never ever wanted to see either of them again. The sight of their faces in my mind's eye made me feel repulsed and sick. I didn't know what I'd say, what I'd do, whether I'd run or start a fuss. I just didn't want to deal with it. It was too much for me, too much hassle, too much aggravation, it made my head spin and my feet lose the ground. I felt as if I was dying, slowly but surely, Sasuke had taken a part of me with him, and as clichéd as it sounds, I was pretty certain it was my heart. And without it I felt numb, useless. Vulnerable.

Not looking where I was going, I turned into a forgotten alleyway, it was dark and damp, smelt like rotten garbage and looked completely desolate. Just like me, alone, dark and afraid. I felt a hand clamp over my mouth as my eyes flew wide with confusion. I tried swinging my arms but they were held back, constricted by something or someone. I was roughly shoved against the alley wall, my eyes squinting in agonizing pain as a cool metal rod rammed into my side. Who the hell puts metal rods poking out of a wall? I tried focusing my vision but all I could see was a black shadow, an immensely tall and threatening black shadow.

"Well if it isn't Little Naru," a voice hummed, "how's my brother keeping you?" It was Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke's brother and a man that absolutely despised the younger raven's choice of partner, aka me. I whimpered terrified, the last time I'd had a run in with Itachi, I'd ended up having to lie to Sasuke about getting mugged in the not-so-nice area of town. The raven had banned me from ever going there again without him present. But it wasn't as easy as that, if Itachi wanted to find you, he would. He had contacts and ways you couldn't count on a hundred people's fingers.

"We're not together," I muttered, allowing my hair to fall over my tearing eyes. I couldn't show weakness in front of Itachi. Only an idiot would show weakness in front of Itachi, he taken the weakness and exploits it, you end up feeling twice as bad. I knew form past experience. Trust me, keep it in mind when you meet your own Itachi out there, never show a weakness. Ever.

"Ahhh," Itachi said impressed, "he finally realized what a slut you are, did he?" He'd always do this, tell me how much of a slut I was, how much of a whore. How I didn't deserve Sasuke, how I never would and how Sasuke would finally realize all of those things and dump me. He finally got his wish.

"But now I have evidence," he hissed happily, "I always knew you were a whore but now I know, now Sasuke will finally thank me for helping him realize, because you cheated on him, didn't you Naru? You were a whore so he gave you a taste of your own medicine, eh? Bittersweet revenge." Now I was shaking, terrified of the raven increasingly coming towards me. I'd never cheated. Why would I cheat? Why would I cheat on the love of my life?

"You look confused Naru," he hissed into my ear, sending terrified shivers down my spine, "you don't think Sasuke would lie to us, do you? You don't think Sasuke would call Sai, just to spread about a rumor to destroy you? There has to be something that made him utterly broken, so broken that my brother, an Uchiha, was left sobbing down the phone." He left the statement to hang in the air for a while.

"You know what that something is Naruto? It's you. It's you being a whore and a slut and a cheat," he spat the words out into my ear, "and I'm going to hurt you for it." He threw my head back, crashing it back onto the wall behind me. I felt numb as he threw punches at me; at my face, my cheeks, my eyes and finally my stomach. I doubled over in pain, falling over onto my knees and giving him to benefit of being able to both hit and kick me now. The pain was overwhelming and washed over me in agonizing waves. I couldn't move, I couldn't think and I could barely breath, and the worst was to come.

He leant down, slipping a knife out from his trouser pocket, running it along my arm, he purred. "You're going to leave my brother alone you whore." Blood gushed from the open wound as my eyesight ran hazy and blurred. I refused to break though, that's what he wanted, some sort of reaction. But it was hard, so hard, not to scream and writhe in pain. He wasn't making things easy at all.

He threw me onto the floor amongst the stinking rotten waste from the overflowing bins, before kicking me a few times and slashing at my arms for his 'final touches', so to speak. He walked away, never looking back, I tried to call for help, aid, anything, but nothing came out. I watched as my own blood made a sticky puddle beneath me and my sight got darker every second.

My vision swam as I tried to focus on something, anything. But it was hard, so so hard to focus on one things whilst both my vision and my thoughts swam. I was a slut? Is that why Sasuke had cheated? I wasn't worth it, I was scum, was I? Just scum. The colors merged together as I lost consciousness and everything started fading to black.

"Naruto!" I heard a shout, I couldn't recognize the voice but it didn't puzzle me at the time, I was trying my hardest to just keep my eyes open. The black shadow of a person frantically ran to me, shaking my limp body before picking me up and running off, all the while shouting and talking to me.

"Stay awake okay, Naru... It'll be okay, alright?... Just keep your eyes open." He held me close and whispered frantically into my ear. I couldn't hold it any longer as I let my eye lashes flutter down onto my bloody cheeks.

"NO NARUTO!" The man screamed but I couldn't open my eyes again, I was drained of energy.

"Naruto..." he mumbled, shaking me slightly with his non-driving hand. "Come on Naru, stay awake, stay awake... please stay awake. Oh god no."

But his voice was quiet now, I couldn't hear him as I finally lost consciousness, losing the battle that had just took a few minutes.

Oooh drama.

I only just realised that the formatting I do on these fics comes out completely different when I upload it to , so I dunno whats happening there. Sorry x
