Chapter 6

A horrible thought struck my mind and I realized something that could change everything. Hinata and I didn't use any . . .

I shook my head, that wouldn't happen. I'm sure she was prepared for that, I'm sure she was planned this thing ahead of time. She must have used some type of prevention.

I tossed that thought out of my mind and focused on what truly mattered.

Sakura.

She has the wrong idea, and I must let her know. There has to be some way for her to believe me, but how?

I stood up from where I was knelt, and started to gather my cloths up into my arms. I can't believe Hinata would do such a thing. She was such a shy girl, once too shy to even talk to me. Let alone . . .

I seriously needed to get the feeling of her off of me. It made me feel dirty and it was sickening, I had to get it off. Her smell was still on me; it filled my lungs and made me want to gag. A women's feel and smell shouldn't be like this, it should calm a man and make him feel loved.

I quickly threw the cloths in the basket, planning to clean them over and over just in case. I jumped into the shower and turned on the water to a freezing cold. The water washed over my body, purging my body of anything Hinata might have left behind.

I scrubbed everywhere she touched me harder and harder. My skin began to turn red from the friction and started to sting. I couldn't help it; I had to get everything off.

I sat down on the wet ceramic floor of the shower, the cold water cascaded down my body. The words Sakura spoke before leaving hung in the air.

"Naruto, I'm sorry. The wedding is off."

Tears formed up and dripped down my cheeks. They began to run together with the water from the shower, merging together into a seamless curtain of rolling water that flowed over the curves of my body.

I lost her, the girl of my dreams. I lost her when she was so close to being mine forever. I lost her because of another girl that was too selfish to let her feelings go. Too selfish to move on and let the person she 'loved' live happily.

"Naruto, I'm sorry. The wedding is off."

Each time the words made me flinch. It was equivalent to a swift kick in the balls . . . over and over and over again.

Out of frustration I punched the tiled wall, sending a web of cracks out from under my fist. Damn Hinata.

Damnit . . . I'm going to have to pay for that.

I got up and turned the water off. The cold shower came to a halt and I got out of the tub, and dried myself off with the closest towel. Once dried, I wrapped the towel around me loosely and stood in front of the sink, looking at myself in the mirror.

I couldn't keep my focus on my reflection; every attempt resulted in the flashes of Hinata on top of me, and Sakura screaming from the doorway.

The door bell screamed, interrupting me from the staring match I was having with my mirror . . . and losing miserably. I yelled from the bathroom. "Who is it!"

A cheery voice came from the other side of the door. "It is I Naruto-Kun, the green beast of . . ."

I immediately interrupted Lee's usual self-praising; "Okay, I'm coming." With a towel still tied around my waist I went to the door and opened it up, expecting a bright green figure with fuzzy eyebrows to welcome me. However, there was no one there.

A green flash caught the corner of my eye and I brought my fist up just in time to dodge an incredibility strong kick. I pivoted on my heel, catching the other foot that was flying towards me. With it in my hand, I pushed up, causing the kicker to stumble and fall backwards.

"Excellent Naruto-Kun, exactly what I expected from our future Hokage!" Lee congratulated me with one of his 'nice-guy' poses. I remembered making that same pose to Sakura before I went after Sasuke so long ago . . . this is the first time I've seen it and wanted to beat the crap out of the person performing it.

"Whatever." I responded, clearly no excitement in my voice. Lee caught on quick.

"Oi, what's wrong Naruto-Kun. You look down. You have your eternal youth and the undying love of the prettiest lady in all the land. What could possibly be wrong?"

I looked at him with a scowl and ignored his question. "Why are you here Lee?"

He got the message. "You know its time for your party. I've come to get you, per the arrangement we made last week. Have you already forgotten?"

Oh yeah, the bachelor party. Problem was, I'm not getting married anymore, and having a bachelor party for someone that wasn't getting married wouldn't make sense.

"I don't want to go." I told Lee.

Lee's face fell into shock. "Why not? Everyone will be there, and there will be tons of Music, games, drinks and all sorts of things."

I made a sound showing my inability to give a shit. However, I looked back, past the hallways and to the couch, the couch where everything went wrong. I suppose it won't be a bad idea to get out of this damn house and out with some friends. Maybe I can forget everything for a little while.

Sighing, I nodded my head. "Fine . . . let's go. Give me a minute to get dressed."

Once again, Lee was in his damn 'nice-guy' pose. "I knew you couldn't pass up all the fun."

God I hate that damn pose.

Within several minutes I was dressed and outside, the day time slowly slipping away as the night sky took over.

Lee and I walked for several minutes in complete silence.

"Naruto? Is there anything you want to talk about? Maybe I can cheer you up with my burning passion."

Damnit, he had to go ruin a good thing. I didn't respond and after another wave of silence, he once again spoke.

"I see it's personal; I shall not ask you about it again, promise."

"Good." I replied.

We moved along slowly, the night sky finally taking over and the street lights came alive.

"Oi, Naruto-Kun, we are here."

We stood in front of an old bar; something that's been standing far longer then any of us has been alive.

I slowly opened the door and found the place packed. All of my male friends were present; accept for Shikamaru and Chouji, who were out of a mission. Kiba, followed by a giant Akamaru came up to me with a wide smile on his face. I could barely hear his words over the loud thumping of techno music in the background.

"Good to see the man finally show up." He punched me in the shoulder, trying to get me all riled up. It didn't work.

What was I thinking, trying to find solace at a party celebrating the marriage to a person that wasn't going to marry me? I definitely didn't think this through.

I ignored Kiba and quickly brushed past him. I had the perfect idea to get me to stop thinking about Sakura.

Alcohol

I walked to the bar, ordering a tall cold glass of the finest saki they had. The waiter gave me the glass with a smile. I swallowed it in a single gulp. Man that felt great. I ordered another.

And another.

And yet . . . another.

My alcohol retreat was interrupted by a white eyed, long black haired . . . male. It was Neji. For some reason it looked like he was doing the wave. Weird.

"Naruto, we set this thing up for you, you won't be able to enjoy it if your not sober and . . . well not actually socializing."

I burped and stood up. "Neji, your right."

I walked back over, where Lee, Kiba, Shino, Kakashi and . . . burp. What?

Okay I fell down and was back up again. That was fun. Wavy wavy wavy wavy.

"Glad you could join us for your party." Kakashi said with no actual emotion.

"Thanks Mr. Mailbox." I responded

I sat down on the couch . . . not another couch. I know, it's not a couch . . . it's a sofa. HA! I outsmarted Hinata and her evil couch.

Oh god, I was drunk. That's okay, this is good. I can think of Hinata and Sakura and not feel anything other then another burp brewing.

"Thanks guys, forr setwing thrus." Burp . . . that felt good. "Anyway, um yah, thuns fraw setting this up. I really appreciate . . ."

Lee sighed. "Man, we shouldn't have allowed him to get so many drinks. He's drop dead drunk."

Neji sighed. Kiba laughed. Kakashi read. Akamaru barked. Lee frowned.

I burped.

I looked up at them, all of which were standing around me. "What?"

Kiba yelled over the music still playing; something about bring it, or her, or them or something in. The music slowed down, and then changed to an erotic song. Oh crap, I knew what was coming.

A beautiful woman strode in, wearing a nurses uniform. She had long smooth legs covered in black stockings, and wore black high heels. She had long blond hair and bright green eyes. She came my way, shaking her hips back and forth.

Lee's eye went wide, "Tenten wouldn't approve of me witnessing such indecent things. However my flaming youth will not allow me to look away!"

Kakashi put his book down and stood back, clearly enjoying it.

Shino smirked.

Neji stared blankly. I always thought he was a little iffy, but seeing him now confirmed it. He's a flamer.

Kiba yelled at her to take it off.

She came to me, bending over, showing her round . . . assets to me. She twisted around and kneeled down, and looked up at me. "Hello big boy, you about to go down the long road of marriage? Well Mr. Future Hokage, Let me make one of your last nights as an unmarried man something to remember."

She jumped on my lap, and straddled me. She bent down, licking my neck and rubbing my thigh. I just sat there letting it happen. Then without warning, her dirty blonde hair faded to black, and her green eyes disappeared completely, the white only remaining. Hinata's voice came out from her mouth and echoed through my ears.

"I love you Naruto-kun."

I instantly became sober and leapt to my feet, sending her flying backwards, landing hard on her ass. I pointed at her, screaming. "Don't you fucking touch me Hinata! You're a goddamn slut!"

Then reality warped back into place as if it didn't ever leave.

It wasn't Hinata; it was just a stripper from out of town, just a stripper doing her job. Oh god, this isn't good. "I'm sorry, please forgive me."

I ran out of the bar, leaving the rest of the people standing in shock. All of them accept one.

Neji easily caught up with me and put out his hand. "Stop Naruto."

I tried to get by, but he wrapped his arms around me, holding me in place. I could have easily broken free if I wanted to. However I was still a little buzzed and didn't have enough focus.

"What in the hell was that Naruto. Why did you call that stripper Hinata and why did you refer to Hinata as a slut?"

I grunted, "You wouldn't like the answer Neji."

"Try me."

He let me go and I faced him. I stared into his eyes and then finally looked away. Fine, if he wants to know, I should tell him. "You might not believe me, might not believe that your precious, innocent little cousin could have done something like this. But believe me, its all true."

His determination didn't falter. "Tell me."

"You want to know, Fine! Your cousin used a henge to disguise herself as Sakura. She then came into my apartment and using Sakura's image, she seduced me. You do realize that I thought it was with my fiancé. I thought I was with Sakura. But it wasn't Sakura Neji, it was Hinata. You do realize that's technically rape? You know what the WORST part of this is? SAKURA WALKED IN JUST AS HINATA LOST THE HENGE. I mean, you can't plan that good of timing. It's as if the gods were playing with me for shits and giggles!"

Neji backed up, his eyes wide. "No . . . Hinata . . . she. No she would never do that. Your lying."

I lost my tempter. "I don't care what you believe. The point is that you slut of a cousin ruined my marriage. I won't ever forgive her."

I steamed past him, and he didn't try to stop me. Before turning the corner I looked back, I could tell he still didn't believe me. I charged through towards my apartment and forced the door open. I slammed it and went into the bedroom.

I flopped down on the bed. Lying on the side Sakura sleeps in, I sighed, my anger more or less gone. I can't believe this shit. This will get out; people will think I cheated on Sakura on purpose. Closing my eyes, I let out the one word that summed up everything. "Fuck."

Tears were flowing down my cheeks as I ran away from the crowd of hateful people. My shadow followed me, yet it wasn't mine. It came from the sole's of my feet then enlarged in size, taking on the form of the evil nine-tailed fox. The shadow flowed across the ground and up the closet wall. Its mouth separated, creating a moving blank spot surrounded by black. It spoke to me.

"You are weak. Use my power and make yourself a god. Take over and slaughter these people."

I brought my hand up, wiping my eyes. I could tell that it was a lot smaller, I had to be back in time, when I was a young boy, before I gained acknowledgement from anyone.

I cried, and screamed at the fox to shut up, that I wasn't a monster and wouldn't hurt anyone.

The crowd approached me, at first they were a little fearful, then crowd mentality took over and they started to throw anything they could at me. A rock hit me in the head, causing me to fall backwards onto my back. There was a female scream, a scream telling the people to stop and then a blurred head appeared above me.

It was Sakura.

She helped me to my feet and dusted my cloths off.

"Are you okay Naruto-Kun?" she asked me. I looked up at her, for some reason she was a lot older then I was. I nodded and said that I was fine now. She frowned.

"That's too bad; I hoped that stone would have hurt you more."

My eyes teared up again, "What do you mean!" I heard Sakura laughing . . . from behind me this time. I turned around and found another Sakura standing with the crowd, a crowd made of up Sakura's of all ages. They all had objects in their hand, ready to use them as weapons against me.

"You're a goddamn demon Naruto. You need to die before you hurt anyone!" they all yelled in unison. I backed up, and ran back into the older Sakura behind me. She grabbed a hold on me and tossed me violently to the ground. My face hit first, busting my lip and breaking my nose. I looked up, blood flowing down my nose and into my opened mouth. I spit it out, several teeth going with it and screamed. "Sakura, why are you doing this?"

The Sakuras just smirked, and then rushed me. They used every object to beat me. My bones began to crack, blood was going everywhere and my body was becoming numb.

My vision began to fade as one of the Sakura's bent down and grabbed me by the hair. She spit in my face and growled. "How does it feel? How does it feel to be betrayed by the one you love?"

The Sakura holding my head rammed my face back into the hard ground.

A loud beating awoke me from my dreaming misery. I stumbled to the door, the hangover giving me a giant headache.

I swung the door open and stared at the other person.

It was Hinata.
