Back to That Time
59: Scared
Naruto sighed, stretching as he finished up the days work. He had a clone back with Sakura, they were probably having fun getting to know each other as a couple better.
He knew he couldn't dismiss his clone at the moment, she'd be mad it was a clone, and so he decided that he would go check up on Sasuke and Kagome. He hadn't done that in a while, and it would be nice to visit.
He took the escape path, smiling as he popped into their living room. "Hi!" He said before noticing Kagome's red eyes. "Kagome? Are you okay?"
She sniffled and looked down at the puppy in her hands. Saki snuggled up to her, giving her as much comfort as she possibly could "I-I..."
"What happened?"
"Sasuke's going to be so mad..." Kagome said, tears rolling down her face. "He's...He's going to leave me..." Her voice cracked and Naruto rushed over.
"What do you mean? Why?" He asked, kneeling before her and taking her hand in his.
She looked up at him, her face full of guilt. "I...I ….allowed Neji-san to kiss me today."
"Wait—what?" It was hard to think that Neji would kiss anyone much less a woman with a fiance.
Kagome nodded, and Naruto sighed.
"Did you kiss him back?"
She shook her head. She hadn't known that he was so...enamored with her.
"Did you push him away?"
She shook her head. She was shocked.
"Why?"
"It surprised me..." She choked out and buried her face in Saki's fur. The puppy let her, calmly. "I'm a bad person!"
Naruto sighed again. "You're not a bad person. I'll be right back."
It took Naruto a while, but he found Sasuke at one of the training grounds with Shippo. "Oi, teme."
Sasuke's eyes slid over to Naruto, the Hokage didn't usually say things that calmly...ever. Taking in his slightly angry walk and the purple of his eyes Sasuke gestured for Shippo to continue. "What do you want, dobe?" Sasuke said as Shippo practiced his throwing alone.
"Kagome's crying." Naruto said and Sasuke glared. "Not my fault. Neji came over and apparently kissed her. She didn't see it coming."
Sasuke's eyes narrowed. "Shippo, go to your mother. Naruto, you come with me."
"Already planned to."
