Mad and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out a title. Mad had some really good ones, but notthing seems to fit! His love interest may end up being Itachi, but for now it can be Sasuke. Do not freak if it changes!

Chapter 1: Consequences

"Just leave, Kiba! I don't want to do this anymore and besides I already called Shino. He said he will put you up." Naruto was determined to see him go. He was tired and it was time for Kiba to go! "I packed some of you things in you duffle bag and you can come get the rest of you stuff in a couple of days. I am done with you and I want you to leave!" Kiba was just as stubborn as he was, so this was not going to be easy. "I am not leaving until you tell me what I did! Tell me something, baby…please! Last night was a goodnight for us and you loved that thing I did with my tongue, right?" That was the problem right there! It was all about sex with the two of them, Naruto couldn't remember the last time they had a really real conversation in the last two years. It was as if the two of them were on different wave links, they were no longer coordinated.

"Kiba, what do I do for living and do you know if I even graduated from college?" Kiba frowned, he had lived with this person for two years, and he couldn't answer either of those questions. He knew they paid the bills together and that Naruto makes the cutest face when he was cumming. However, beyond that he couldn't tell you a damn thing. "Okay, so tell me that stuff now! I mean I'm in love with and I want to stay with you, please baby!" Naruto shook his head. "No! I am not doing this anymore. I want you gone! You are not in love with me! To tell you the truth, I don't even think you truly grasp the concept of love! Shino said you could stay with him. He is your best friend, so just go!" Kiba could not believe this. It was all happening too fast. Naruto was saying 'no' to him? He never said 'no' to him! It was always the word 'yes'. And, it always came in threes.

"Why you want to do this, I mean just because I cannot answer a few stupid questions! I do know what love is and I am telling you…I love you, Baby." Naruto sighed as he rubbed his temples. "Kiba, I hadn't said a single word to you until last night." Naruto shrugged as he crossed his arms. "You didn't even notice and that is strange because most couple talk everyday. The only time you tell me you love me is when I try to put your ass out! Now go, and leave the fucking key! If you don't, then I will just get the locks changed tomorrow!" Kiba bit his lip, but the tears didn't come nor the pain, there was nothing there that usually accompanied a broken heart. He thought he had loved the blonde-haired person but it was looking like the blonde-haired person was right. He hadn't loved him for a very long time and it was starting to piss him off!

"When did this become my fucking fault? If I remember correctly, it takes two people to be in a relationship. So, where the fuck were you?! You never said anything! Why didn't you say anything?" Kiba balled his hands into fists. "I would have tried to be better for you, for us, but no! All I keep hearing is 'No Kiba!'" Kiba was more angry than hurt. Naruto had known him long enough to know the difference. "I remember the first day I met you. You were jogging with Akamaru. Man, my heart was racing when I saw how beautiful you were and that dog of yours just trotting out front." Kiba looked at him. Naruto looked so forlorn and hurt.

"I don't think I ever told you. Remember when I tripped over you? I did it on purpose. I intentionally waited until you were tying your shoe. I was determined to make you speak to me and you did. You even helped me up." Naruto could feel everything he was trying so desperately to hide, but Kiba wouldn't leave! This was the only way that it could be done, now. He had really tried to let Kiba off the hook, so he wouldn't feel guilty…for not loving him. Naruto had suspected as much over the last year, but he just loved the brunet so much that he thought his love would be enough for the both of them. It wasn't though. In the end, it wasn't enough for Naruto. He wanted to be loved back.

"I thought you were perfect. To me you were. We spent every minute together after that and it was good, I mean truly good! I loved you Kiba-kun and you made me the happiest person in the world. I just cannot live like this anymore. I cannot love someone who doesn't love me anymore." Naruto touched Kiba's face. "On the other hand, if you tell me you love me, I mean really love me, we can stop this." Kiba couldn't do it though, he knew he didn't feel one-tenth of what that blonde-haired person felt for him. "See, I told you. Just leave Kiba-kun and let it go. I am done and you have been done a lot longer than I have. Try not to be so angry. After all, the one who is broken-hearted isn't you. It's me." Naruto walked into the bedroom and closed the door. He didn't want to hear him leaving.

He was ready for it to end and he knew it, but his sides still ached with the pain of a broken heart. He wrapped his arms around himself, rocking slowly in the middle of the bed. He couldn't let go for the fear his body would rip apart. It was the only thing in his mind as he fell into slumber. Naruto woke up on the floor. He had apparently fallen of the bed sometime during the night. "Aww fuck!" He rubbed his back because it ached a little. His phone began to ring. Righting himself, he shifted to answer.

"Hello?" There was a giggle. "Hey, Naru! How are you feeling, Love?" It was his best friend and true love Sakura. "Like shit, of course. I fell out the bed some time during the night. Now my back hurts." She sighed. "I am sorry that you are hopeless. But, how did it go with Kiba last night?" He knew what she meant. But his body was still aching with the aftermath of last night as well. "He left, he is gone, and I let him go. 'Kura I just couldn't stand being in love all by myself. It felt shittier than just letting him go. At least now, I can feel broken hearted without his dumb ass around." She giggled. Naruto always had a way of putting a spin on things, even when he was really hurting. "You want to start packing him up today? Or what do you want to do?" Naruto wanted it done and over with. The sooner his stuff was gone, the better. "Yeah, I want to do it today. I am ready for this to be over and done. I am just ready to start anew."

Sakura smiled, though he couldn't see it. Naruto was taking this a lot better than she thought. "Well, Choji and Shikamaru will be there shortly. Ino and I will go get the boxes and tape. We will be there a little later." Naruto hung up the phone. Taking a look around the apartment, he realized how sad it was. Akamaru's dog toys were everywhere and there were traces of Kiba all around the room. Kiba had pushed himself all the way into his life. He wasn't angry with the dog boy. Can you really be angry with someone for something that just happened? Naruto was hurting though, that was undeniable. He really hadn't planned to love him so much. But, he did. Blindly, foolishly so. "I guess it is my fault. I forgot to think." Naruto sighed as he went to the bathroom. He started the shower, and peeled off his clothes. His friends would be here soon and he needed to make sure he didn't look insane with grief.

When he cut the shower off, he could hear someone in the apartment. For a moment, he stood beside the door, listening. He could hear the faint sounds of chewing and someone mumbling. He opened the door. Sure enough, it was his friends Choji and Shika, sitting together in the den and dressed for some packing. "I hope this is not taking too much time out of your busy schedules?" Shika smirked. "I didn't want to participate in that think-tank in Washington anyway. Choji wanted to get out of the restaurant, too." Naruto went into the bedroom to change clothes. He pulled on some black pants, an orange tank, and some black socks. When he came back out the room, the girls had arrived.

"Hey Naru baby, how do you feel?" Ino had that pained look on her face, and he decided to let her off the hook. "I am good, Ino. I just need to get this over with and start fresh." Choji was setting up boxes when he thought aloud. "Does this mean we have to find a new forward for the basketball team?" Shika hit him in the back of his head. "You can be so troublesome all the time. We will…" Naruto cut him off. "No, Choji. He can still play forward. There is no need to change everything. He and I broke up. It was a mutual split. So, there is no need for anyone to choose sides." Naruto was right. But, it would hurt playing on the same basketball team as him.

Choji had started a little team and they had joined a league. They had a lot of fun every other weekend and it was better than being lazy. "I have not been gone that long, only for a week…so what did happen?" Shika looked up from the box he was packing. Naruto had almost forgotten that Shikamaru had been gone for a week. "Well, over the last year things have become strained between Kiba and me. To make a long story short, Shika…He just didn't love me anymore. I am not a hundred percent sure, when it happened, but it did. He stopped loving and caring for me. He stopped worrying about what I did or where I went. All I know is he was gone a long time before I put him out last night." Naruto sighed. The thought had been on his mind for a while. Yet, he only voiced it now. The pain in his sides was threatening to tear him apart again. Once more, he wrapped his arms around himself.

Sakura knew what he was doing all too well. He had been her best friend long enough to know that this was threatening to rip him apart. "Here Naru. Just take a seat for a minute. I am going to get you something." She went into her purse and grabbed a couple of valium, and then into the kitchen for some water. "Take these, baby." He really didn't care what the little pills were, just as long as they helped with the pain. After about fifteen minutes, Naruto was back on his feet. He felt a little bit better as the last of Kiba and Akamaru's things were packed. It had taken all of the day and most of the night, but it was done. All of the stuff was in boxes and lined the wall next to the front door. Sakura really didn't feel comfortable living her best friend by himself.

"Maybe I should stay here with you for a couple of days? You know, to keep you company." Naruto smiled. But he would be fine, eventually. No need to stop everyone else's life just because his was falling apart. "Sakura. Lee's unit has finally been transferred back here and I know you two have missed each over these last six months. Please. Go to that man and have a good time!" It was true. It had been six months since the last time she saw the handsome devil and he would be waiting for her. "Yeah, but you need me here and a couple of days will not kill me or him!" Naruto knew it would, he was her best friend after all. "'Kura if you do not leave, I will be forced to thrash you. Leave, and tell Bushy brows I said hello." Sakura looked a little uneasy as she left, but she did leave.
