First Kiss—Chapter 18
"She never sleeps. . ." The Ring

AN: Augh! Forgot to actually make the last quote into the chapter, I am very sorry that will never happen again. -- Thanks for reviews

"Naruto. . .why did you break up with Hinata in the first place?" said Shino. Their session, this time was in Shino's home. The environment was very warm and friendly, the room was well light, pictures were everywhere, and plants covered much of the space left in the room. Naruto, who sat in a brown, leather chair, put his hands together, interlinking his fingers.
He thought hard about what he was about to say, and about a minute later he finally said it. "Because. . .she. . .kind of. . .betrayed me. You see, during that day. . . after Soonichi defeated Aya he retreated, I couldn't follow him, but soon the Hokage showed up."
"You mean the former Hokage?"
"Yeah. . .well. . .she and her team of Anbu could not see through the mist, so she did a ninjutsu that took it away. Of course this was great because the ninja could all see and not half to fight blind, but this also allowed Kiba to see them as well. It was a slaughter, no one could escape the ovals that flew around him. Even the Hokage fell to its fury. I had no idea what to do, and as soon as the ovals came for Hinata—"he was cut off.
"I don't remember you saying she arrived on the scene."
"Oh. . .well, she did during the hour when the mist was in effect. Well. . .when the ovals came for her I pretty much saved her life by shoving her out of the way, saving her and myself, and then they came back for me. . .I thought that, if you loved someone enough that you would risk your life for them, and well. . .she didn't. I was lucky enough that Kakashi had finally attacked Kiba while the ovals were far enough away from him."
"I see. . .what happened to Sasuke when Kiba attacked him during the mist?"
"Him and Kiba fought, and right before Kiba was going to kill him the Hokage showed up. She cleared the mist, all the ninja surrounded Kiba. I too, surrounded him. Kiba then let loose the ovals, first he got the Hokage after most of the Anbu stepped in front of her. The ovals cut right through them, after that, it was a mess. No one knew what to do, or how to attack such a monster, in till Kakashi, who stayed quiet the whole time finally got him."
"Got him? Kiba is dead?"
". . .Yes. . .Shino, where were you during that day anyways?"
"Of course you know he was in my group, he knocked me out, I don't know what happened but I didn't get up for three days. I had three broken ribs. No one ever told me the story of that day. Want to keep going?"
"No." Naruto stood up, and walked out of the house. He stopped at his steps, sighing.

"Naruto. . ." said Sakura as the two sat at the Ramen Bar. "Why haven't you talked to Hinata lately? It's been two days since you two have been together. It's like you don't even want her. What's wrong?" Naruto sighed as he looked at her.
"Listen, I just realized why I left her in the first place, I'm not sure if I should continue or stop where I am at," he said. "You know what it feels like to have your heart broken Sakura, you should know."
"I do, but that doesn't mean that I am going to hate Sasuke forever for what he did. He did it because he had to."
"Joining another country is not something he had to do!" He hit his Ramen, it flew off the table into the cooking area. He started to walk away when Sakura stopped him.
"It is damn well something he had to do Naruto!" Raindrops started to fall. First very lightly, but it was slowly and steadily increasing in power. "You have no idea what happened after that day!"
"I was there Sakura! I was there the first day, then the next day! I saw everything that happened! Every little detail I know! So don't think that I don't know what happened cause I do!" Anger was on top of their voices so much it was hard to hear what they were saying.
"I don't care Naruto. . ." she said, her voice a little lower this time. "I don't care. He is mine and I love him. Just because he is not here doesn't mean that I have lost him," Sakura started to cry, though the ran covered her tears.

(Flashback—Day After Kiba Was Killed)

Sasuke stood, thinking about what he had saw the day before. He put it into his head and kept thinking of what Kiba did and could have done. If he was not so obsessive with his powers he would have taken over this village. If he would have been smart about what he did.
Sasuke wanted that power. He wanted the ability to do that much damage if he wanted it. He needed to find the Einizigartig secret. Whatever it was. . .it was powerful enough to destroy a major portion of the Leaf Village. He then, without any warning, without taking any supplies, left the Leaf Village to seek out the Einizigartig. Rendering what happened with Orochimaru useless.

AN: Kind of a short chapter, didn't even face up to 1000 words. Sorry, really busy doing nothing. But seriously I got some bad cases of writers block.
