AN: Okay, all of these chapters are short. But they do get longer. And the story does get more interesting. Thanks to anyone who's actually reading this. Read and review people, you know you wanna (ewww, I just sounded like a cheese whiz commercial)

"You said you wouldn't though, right?" Saeko asked slowly.

"You have to understand," Kabuto started.

"No!" Saeko screamed as she pushed him away, "There's nothing to understand. Did he threaten you? No of course not! You're going back voluntarily aren't you? AREN'T YOU?"

"I am," Kabuto said, "Please listen."

"No," Saeko said, "If you really love me as much as you say you do you won't go back to work for that horrible man!"

"When did I ever say I loved you?" Kabuto asked icily.

"Out!" Saeko cried, her voice wavering as tears fell down her face, "Get out! I never want to see you again!"

"I'm not leaving," Kabuto stated simply, "Listen to what I have to say first."

"Get out or I'll make you get out," Saeko said angrily.

"You think you can make me leave?" Kabuto smirked.

"You have 5 seconds to get out of here," Saeko said, "5... 4..."

Kabuto the noticed the chakra gathering in her eyes. He knew then that she was serious, and if he didn't leave soon he would be on the receiving end of her special jutsu. Her special jutsu allowed her to freeze anyone in their place using just her eyes. He had seen better ninja than himself, fall victim to that jutsu so he walked toward the door.

"I didn't think I'd ever have to say goodbye to you," Saeko said darkly, "Goodbye, Kabuto."

Kabuto closed the door as he left, leaving Saeko feeling more alone than ever.

Unable to stay in her apartment she fled towards a grassy hill nearby, tears streaming down her face. She felt like death, like that at any moment she would stop breathing. No one had noticed her leave, she wouldn't be found for hours, maybe even days.

She was wrong. As she left one person saw her; saw the hurt on her face which made him hurt.

He followed her to where she sat, sobbing as though it would make the pain go away.

"Don't cry," he said as he walked up to her.

Saeko turned around when she heard his voice, blinking her eyes open. He brushed away her tears and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Shikamaru," Saeko said, her voice regaining some substance, "What are you doing here?"

"I can't watch you cry like this," Shikamaru said, "What happened?"

Saeko sighed before speaking again. She told him everything; how Kabuto had finally stopped working for Orochimaru, how she thought he loved her so she slept with him and how he went back to work for Orochimaru, breaking her heart.

"You shouldn't let him get to you," Shikamaru said gently, "Scum like that doesn't deserve you, or your tears."

"I know" Saeko said, regaining her composure, "But... I trusted him."

"Everyone makes mistakes," Shikamaru said calmly, "But I would never lie to you. You can trust me."

Saeko gave in to Shikamaru's comforting arms as she whispered, "I know."
