Chapter 3: It's Called Love Dobe

A/N: Third chapter for you folks…Thanks for the reviews…

It was dark out, and the moon appeared from behind its hiding spot. Naruto glared at the shadows before him, a wailing woman, a grunting man. The shadows danced in front of him, his spine tingling, his frown deepening.

"Hello?" he called out to the shadows and they froze, becoming real people.

"Dobe," one called out grunting again, blood splattered on his pale face, one hand holding a kunai, and the other hand holding another person.

The girl appeared, her pale skin and platinum blonde hair sparkled in the moonlight, but the blood and pain seen in her face made her seem dark. Her eyes stared at him, dark bags under them. She glared slightly moving under the others grip.

"What are you doing here?" Naruto asked, his voice echoing through the darkness.

"I'd ask you the same thing," the one with the kunai said, he tucked the kunai away and smirked, "Since you are here," his hand began to glow, "I might as well kill you now."

The girl frowned, tears formed in her blue eyes and she fell over, "Naruto-kun…" she muttered under her breath.

"You dobe, if you hadn't interfered, this wouldn't have happened…Now I HAVE to kill you," the glow on his hands grew into a chidori.

"Sasuke-teme," Naruto growled, the orange chakra surrounding him, "If you weren't so brutal to the ones you 'love' then this wouldn't have happened…" in his mind, he had no idea what he was saying, the words just flew out of his mouth as two more Naruto's appeared.

"I just did what was right dobe, now I'll kill you so that my dead wife and I can spend forever in this beautiful darkness…"

Sasuke ran towards Naruto and Naruto roared, two tails forming at his butt, "SASUKE-TEME!" the two bunshins made rasengans in his hands and the colors of blue and orange collided.

------------------------------

The rain fell lightly outside the apartment of the infamous Uzumaki Naruto. The thunder made its roar, and Naruto shifted in his sleep.

BEEP

The alarm clock had made it's entrance, it's purpose for the day, and Naruto groaned. His sleeping cap slumped over his tired eyes, and he yawned, shutting off the alarm clock. Gently lifting off his cap, he winced at the dream he had had that night. He rubbed his eyes, turning to the only window that remained in his house.

"Ino…Sasuke…What?" he muttered to himself, yawning once more, "What kind of dream was that…" he shook his head and head towards his bathroom, rushing to take his clothes off and step inside his shower.

As the water ran down his body, his eyes became dull and the picture of Ino dead appeared in his mind, "Ugh…Why am I thinking about this…I should leave the two lovers alone, I don't know Ino that much anyways…" then Sasuke appeared before him with a kunai and Ino in his hands.

"Stay away from us dobe," he said coldly and Ino stirred in his arms. She opened her eyes to look at Naruto, the blue color fading and tears forming.

"Naruto…"

"Shush my princess," Sasuke commanded harshly and took out a handkerchief. He smiled and put it over her face, leaving a hole for her to breathe.

"Sasuke you bastard…" Naruto muttered.

"Why do you care anyways, it's not like this is any of your stupid business."

"But Ino Is my friend teme, and I care for her ok?" he glared, "Since she loves YOU, take care of her, don't be so brutal."

"I am taking care of her dobe, I always express my love for her by keeping her away from people like you!" he disappeared and Naruto punched the wall in front of him, not breaking the wall. The water continued to run down his face, his body and tears formed. He winced in pain, and clutched his bleeding chest.

"Did Sasuke just cut me?" he said through the pain, "Sasuke…Ino…What's going on?"

Later, while Naruto was on his way to Ichiraku, he stuffed his hands into his pocket and the bandages he used from before fell to the ground. They ripped up as the rain fell harder, and his forehead protector fell into his hands and his hair dropped over his forehead.

"Yo," he muttered to the old man.

"Naruto-kun, are you okay?" the old man asked, and so did Ayame.

"I'm fine," he said quickly eating the miso ramen already prepared before him.

"Hn," he heard from the right. Naruto's eyes went wide as he turned to see Ino trying to feed Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun eat!" she demanded, and hidden from the others, he glared at her softly whispering.

"I hate ramen, the dobe eats it," she gasped lightly and let down the chopsticks.

"Okay…" she whispered a single tear at her eyes, "If you say so Sasuke-kun."

"Don't cry Ino," he said softly wiping away her tear, "That dobe will see and stick into our relationship."

"Oh? Naruto's here?" she smiled widely and turned to Naruto, "Hello Naruto-kun!" she gasped lightly, when did she use Naruto-kun?

Naruto's hair shifted and he used his fingers to remove them from his eyes, "Ino-chan," he said smiling, "Hey, how are you?"

"I'm good!" she said as Sasuke poked a kunai behind her back. Naruto raised his eyebrows as she winced and at how obvious the delight in her eyes disappeared.

"Ino sit down, Sasuke commanded, his eyes narrowing at Naruto.

"What was that for Sasuke-teme? I was just talking to her," he said his wet hair splashing onto Sasuke's stern face.

Sasuke growled as Ino removed the kunai and threw it to the ground, "Stop doing that! I can do what I want can't I?" fear returned to her eyes as Sasuke stood up knocking down his chair.

He grabbed her neck collar and tossed her to the ground, "You, don't you dare stand up to me, I am the stronger one of this relationship!"

She cowered on the ground holding her hands to her chest. Sasuke glared and she whimpered.

"Sasuke stop it!" Naruto yelled getting in front of Ino, she told him to stop but he ignored her. Picking her up he placed her under the protection of the Ichiraku stand.

"You…Touched her…" he glared, "You…let his touch you…" he picked her up and pulled out a kunai from his pouch, "You want to die Ino-chan?" he asked with a crooked grin.

"Stop this madness," the old man demanded and he glared.

"Old man, stay away from this," he turned to Naruto and dropped a now unconscious Ino.

"Sasuke-teme, why do you do this? I've never seen you act like this to girls."

"Hmph, she's mine now, and will soon eternally be mine," he flashed the box that was hidden in his pocket, smirking he opened it to reveal a ring.

"You're getting married?"

"If she says yes," he smirked, "And she will say yes, if she doesn't I'll kill us both."

"Why do you do this teme?"

"It's called love baka, I'm just expressing my feeling towards the one I love," he pulled up both his sleeves to reveal tattoos, "I don't want to remain loveless, I don't want to be alone," he pointed to the broken heart, "I received this once I broke up with my other true love."

"You loved before?"

"Yes, she was beautiful, and nice like Ino, but she was weak. She died at the hands of the enemy, and I had no choice but to destroy the enemy, him and all his comrades, even the innocent ones," he sighed, "Now, I'll get going dobe, I hope to never see you near my girlfriend again. Remember what I did to your apartment?" he smirked and Naruto gasped, "I'll do what I did to it to you next."

He pushed Naruto into the mud puddle and Naruto dropped his forehead protector. Smirking he picked up Ino and disappeared.

The old man and Ayame cowered behind the counter and Naruto lay in the mud, more water splashing on him, and his forehead protector floating away.

"I have to stop him from hurting Ino-chan any more…" he blinked at the use of chan again, "Ino…chan…sounds nice…" he shook his head, "I have to stop Sasuke, before he marries her or as he says, 'eternally becomes his'. I wonder what that other tattoo was…"

He got up and wiped the tears from his eyes. Determination and anger returned, as he tied his hitai-ate on.

"Ino-chan, please don't die on me…"

A/N: Okay, so expect the chapters to be that short…Maybe longer or so…
