Prologue: You Went And Break My Heart
Naruto sighed tiredly as his shift ended. He had a mission just this morning and he didn't exactly get that much sleep last night either. He nodded to the shinobi taking over his shift and walked down the empty streets. He could just teleport from there, but he was just too tired tonight. He walked pass several closed shops and a bench came into view. The bench has never looked so inviting.
He was half-tempted to just sleep there when he heard noises. His alert perking up a notch, he moved to investigate. Moving faster than lightning despite his exhaustion, he finally arrived at the place of the noises.
Careful to blend in with the walls, he stuck his head out. Squating his eyes, he realised that the figures looked vaguely familiar. Squating his eyes further, his eyes suddenly widened and he stuck his head back in, horrified.
Jumping from the place quickly, his mind was blank except for, "Sasuke. Sakura. Kissing." Blinking away tears, he opened the door to his apartment, which wasn't exactly an apartment, and wasn't quite his. Slamming his room door, he slumped against it and tried his hardest to stop the tears.
Apparently, he wasn't trying hard enough and the tears flowed. He hugged his legs to his chest and cried his heart out. He wouldn't have minded Sasuke and Sakura kissing quite as much if he wasn't dating the former. That's right, he and Sasuke was dating, and has been since a year ago. It was only natural that trust has deepened between the two especially since their Jounin duties called them away very often.
It was half-past twelve and Naruto finally stopped crying. Standing up slowly, he walked up to the full-length mirror and placed his palms against it. His reflection stared back at him. Reddened eyes and tear-strickened face were unfamiliar to the face that usually held so much happiness.
Hearing the door slam shut, Naruto snapped out of his reverie. The scene came back all over again and it took all his willpower not to cry again. Blue eyes hardened. His trust was broken, his love played with. He would pay, the ones who hurt him. Only gathering his weapons, he ran out of the opened window, vowing that the next time he returned, it would be for revenge. He has been hurt enough to last him a lifetime, he doesn't need to endure this.
With a hand seal, he teleported deep into the forest. Tired from the hurt and the night, Naruto slumped against a tree and fell asleep almost immediately. The night went and the day has just begun. The sun shone its blinding light on the sleeping figure, who, amazing, hasn't been caught. Opening his eyes slightly, Naruto noticed a figure in front of him.
He vaguely made out the figure moving a bit and saying, "what are you doing in the middle of the forest, Uzumaki Naruto?"
