He didn't know what to do, he was lost. How could he let something so stupid happen, he was not worthy of that angel whom he shared a life with.

If she left him he would understand, but he didn't want her to leave. Hinata was his ray of light that pierced through the sky, someone he wanted to grow old with, and share a family with. After all they both deserved a happy ending, but he epicly screwed it up. Naruto slowly shuffled around town being

careful not to look at anyone. His Hokage coronation was in a couple of days and he hated to admit it, but he didn't want to lead a entire village if he couldn't even be faithful to his loving doting wife.

Getting out of his haze Naruto looked up finally taking in his surrounding scenery. He thanked his feet for unconsciously taking him to a place he needed to be, the bar. As he entered Naruto inhaled deeply smelling heavy alcohol, stale food, and burnt cigarette buds. Awkwardly taking a seat at the farthest table in the back, Naruto ordered himself a round of drinks and laid his head on the cheap mahogany table. Turning his head to the side he gazed out the small stain-glass window next to him. Staring at the window he felt as if all those vibrant colors -adorned throughout the design- were mocking him. The echoing of the thunder clouding his ears, and his eyes following every other droplet spiraling down the dusty window. Closing his eyes and gulping down the sake he ordered, he tried to drown everything out and not think.

But that idea was short lived.

Seconds after slamming his cup down, Naruto felt his body being lifted up from his seat. The collar of his jacket pulled forward by someone. After opening his eyes he stared straight at a fuming Kiba.

Snarling angrily Kiba pulled Naruto closer.

"What did you do to her?!"

It wasn't really a question but it was also something that couldn't go unanswered. Naruto let out a sigh and mumbled incoherent words. That seemed to piss Kiba off even more, because moments later Naruto was slammed into the interior brick wall of the building by the sheer impact of Kiba's fist in his gut.

As Naruto groggily stood up swaying from the impact he saw two other guys there. Shikamaru and Shino both holding Kiba back from doing anymore Naruto would be up for a brawl with Kiba, but this time his feelings were messed up to even care.

Enraged Kiba yelled again. " Naruto, what. did. you. do!?"

Naruto hung his head in shame and whispered.

"I did something unforgivable."

He took both of his hands to wipe away any stray tears he didn't know slipped, in actuality Naruto wanted to thank Kiba for punching him, he deserved it.

Shikamaru and Shino let Kiba go, everyone in the bar was silent. Watching and waiting for what was going to happen next.

A sigh was heard and everyone turned their head towards Shikamaru. He grumbled, "Troublesome." while taking a chair and sitting down.

"Okay Naruto, tell us what's going on."

Naruto told them the story of how he went over to Sakura's to check up on her because he had been worried about her ever since Sasuke came back to the village. He also spoke of their argument and about when he was about to say goodbye but then Sakura kissed him. He took a deep breath sucking in all the oxygen he could, reliving the moment wasn't making him feel any less guilty. After a few moments he was going to continue but he was cut off.

"Naruto you idiot, what are you doing." Kiba yelled, this time less anger filled his voice.

Naruto scanned Kiba's face, giving off a blank expression.

Shino jumped in to explain Kiba's outburst.

"I think what he's trying to say is, why are you beating yourself up so badly when this wasn't entirely your fault. Sakura is to blame mostly. Now why didn't you explain this to Hinata instead of drinking you sorrows away."

Kiba nodded in agreement.

Naruto gulped loudly at all most a whisper he said:

"That's not all that happened."

Naruto stared a Sakura's face, she was wearing a pleasant looking smile. Different thoughts were clouding his head. 'Did Sakura just really kiss me?, Why now?, I never imagined that her kiss would be so tender.'

He was amazed that Sakura could do such a thing, especially with what happened a couple of seconds ago during the kiss. She had deepened it and he willingly complied.

Only one questioned loomed through his mind after it ended.

'Can we do it again?'

Still staring at the smirking Sakura, Naruto was frozen like a statue. That was until he started to hear beating of rain on pavement and a voice.

"Say something Naruto, a girl kisses you and all you can do is stare."

Shaking his head Naruto stepped closer to Sakura and cupped her cheek in his hand. He brought her chin up to meet his lips and kissed her passionately, however the passion didn't last long as it soon turned wild and out of control. Naruto now found himself pinning Sakura to the front of her door and participating in a heated make out session. Seconds from going further Naruto found that there was something missing in these kisses he shared with Sakura. For one he knew he was missing the warmth, there was no real warmth from the kiss. He found that he couldn't even fully grab at her hair with it being as short as it is, also she smelled like medicine and Naruto's favorite smell on a women was that of cinnamon. Like...

Naruto harshly pushed Sakura away, he found out that he was comparing everything, every little detail to Hinata. To him Sakura was just lacking to much in to many areas. He just wished he had known that before he kissed Sakura back.

Sakura stared up at Naruto grinning as if she was flying on cloud nine. Hoping to continue their little session inside Sakura opened her front door and tired to give her best seductive voice.

"It's getting cold out here, maybe we should go inside and warm up."

Naruto cringed at her voice, he would've been tempted but all he could feel was disgust. She knew he was married, heck she even gave a toast at his wedding. Yet he couldn't fully comprehend why she was doing this, or why he did it.

He turned away, but before he could run off Sakura grabbed his shoulder and squeezed it desperately. Naruto shrugged her off.

"I...I gotta go Sakura. I need to be with my wife."

Naruto dashed down the street and jumped from building to building towards his home. The rain pelting him and engulfing him in a shivering sorrow, he decided he couldn't tell Hinata. She loved him to much for him to do that to her, and he didn't want to disappoint her she was his precious person, that he was going to protect. Even if it was from himself.

As Sakura watched Naruto get out of her grasp, she sighed sadly feeling dejected and miserable. Turning back into her house she closed the door, she needed to make Naruto realize that he was still in love with her because she now felt that she really did love him, now. Walking over to her coffee table she picked up the chilled bottle of champagne. Naruto had left it there after coming to see her. If she remembered correctly he said something about getting it for a anniversary.

Sakura touched her lips with shaky fingers they were still a little swollen from what just transpired, she squealed in delight. Picking up the bottle, Sakura made later plans to deliver it to him. She figured they should get another chance to, uh, 'talk'.

Naruto felt the impact of another fist, this time it flew straight into his stomach. Looking up Naruto thought he would be staring at a blood-thirsty Kiba. However the blow came straight from Shino. The only way you could tell Shino was upset was because of way his eyebrows were frowning down and his fists were clenched tightly. Having his face covered with his normal get up.

"You bastard!" Shino yelled uncharacteristically.

Kiba was about to join in again, but he got stopped by Shikamaru.

"Kiba, Shino, leave Naruto. He's already beating himself up more then you guys could ever harm him."

"Yea,but..." Kiba was cut off again.

"We should drop it, it's not up to us what happens next. Hinata has to make a decision, and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't forgive you guys with the state she's in right now." Shikamaru sighed, "Let's go."

They turned to leave, but Kiba halted for a second. He walked to Naruto and bent down to be eye level with him.

"Remember after the war four years ago?" Naruto raised his head nodding. Kiba continued, "When you and Hinata first started dating, now remember what I said, I told you not to ever hurt her. Then you promised me you wouldn't, saying 'I never go back on my word'."

Kiba shook his hair itching to punch Naruto again, but he knew he shouldn't. Standing back up and turning towards his retreating friends he added.

"I think you need to get a new Nindo, cause you just broke that one."

After hearing the dinging of the bell hanging from the door Naruto knew his friends had left. He sat there on the floor not thinking about how he was feeling, but thinking about what state Hinata was in.

Pink hair bounced around in front of the Uzumaki-Namikaze residence. Sakura was trying to shake off the cold that the rain had brought on. It was strange the rain felt unusually dense today. With the champagne in one hand, her other hand knocked on the door.

There was no answer, looking around she noticed that there where no lights on in the house. 'They must be out.' she thought.

While slowly turning away her movement was halted by the opening sound of the door.

Sakura was a little shocked to see Hinata, she was hoping it was Naruto. Putting on the biggest fake smile she could muster she exhaled.

"Hey Hinata, is Naruto hom-"

She was silenced by the door slamming in her face. Sakura huffed, peeved that Hinata would even think of doing that.

-Hope you enjoyed-
