Unexpected

Chapter 4

Dark bags hung under his cerulean eyes and his usual hyper exterior was drained. He tossed and turned in a restless sleep the night before drowned in thought about what he had done.

Wanting to know the outcome of last nights event he had went to his rival/best friends apartment to get answers. He prayed things had gone well but the chances of that happening were slim. He slumped against the door in desperation.

Upon opening the door an unwanted guest had fell backwards in his doorway. It was unusual to see Naruto as lifeless as he was. "Dobe, what are you doing here?" Sasuke asked nudging the man with his foot.

Naruto remain on his back against the hardwood floor and gazed up at Sasuke. "I just wondering how things went between you and Sakura-chan." The blond felt horrible not only for breaking a promise to his favorite pink haired medic but for the effect it would have on his male teammate.

"Hn." Which meant it's none your business. Sasuke did not want to talk about this today or any other day especially with Naruto. His onyx eyes feel flat with disinterest with the topic.

Sasuke had begun to close the door on blond. Naruto scrambled to his feet and stopped Sasuke from closing the door and ending their conversation. "Come on just tell me what Sakura said to you."

"She told me the truth." The Uchiha tsked in annoyance.

"So she told you about everything? Even how she ended up with Reika-chan.?" Naruto asked astonished. His blue eyes wide in amazment. Hope glistened on his face.

"Yeah." Sakura had told him everything but nothing in detail. Details weren't needed unless you were trying to write a Icha Icha book for Jiraiya. Why would anyone other then a pervert want to know details about someone's sexual experience?

Naruto sighed in relief. He never thought Sakura would admit it to anyone. A smile crossed his face proud of his female teammate's accomplishment. Though he still was hesitant to go visit her and apologize for breaking their promise he was still glad that she had faced the problem head on instead of running away.

The blond had waved good bye to his friend while the raven did nothing more then grunt unpleasantly and not only shut but lock his door.

…

Ino had informed him that his friend was at the hospital taking an early shift. Finding her in the hospital was like trying to track down a criminal on the run. When he would go to the place she was last seen at she would have already moved onto the next patient. He was still nervous of confessing his mistake but even more now then before. Since they were already located in the hospital she won't hesitate to kill him and bring him to life then kill him again.

After 20min of trying to find the only pink haired woman in Konoha he had given up and relied on his shadow clones to track her down.

She was on the third floor when he had finally found her. He didn't pick up any bad signs which made him feel at ease. The medic turned to the 3 blonds that crowded the hall. "Naruto what are you doing? Didn't I tell you before not to bug me at work unless your dying."

The blond released his jutsu and dropped to his knees bowing at Sakura's feet. "I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. You know I would never try to hurt you but he needed to know. I promise to never break another promise!" Naruto incoherently begged for forgiveness.

"You what?" The things he was blabbing about had finally sunk in and the pieces were put together. "I can't believe it was you! How could you do that to me? That traitor didn't need to know crap. He has no right to even be in this village!" Sakura yelled at her stupid friend, pressing his head to the ground with her foot.

"But Sakura she's his only family. Have a heart." Naruto pleaded under the pressure of her foot.

"I do have a heart! That's why I let him see her and why I'm not going to rip you limb from limb." She grumbled crossing her arms against her chest and lifting her foot off the blond.

No longer in threat of having his head crushed in Naruto stood and dusted himself off. "I'm glad. Sasuke told me that you've told him everything."

"…"

"You did tell him everything right?" Naruto questioned when he saw the flicker in Sakura's eyes. "You told him how you ended up with Reika-chan, didn't you?"

"Yes." She answered unable to look him in the eyes.

"You're lying… Sakura why didn't you tell him?" The blond asked with hurt in his eyes. For an instant he believed that Sakura had admitted the truth not for Sasuke's sake but for hers.

"I did tell him!" The medic shouted defensively.

"No you fucking didn't! You lied to him!" Naruto had enough of Sakura's denial. "Why the hell can't you admit that you're not-"

Smack! The sound echoed throughout the corridor. Naruto held his cheek as the stinging sensation left him speechless. "Shut up! I am! Don't you dare say I'm not!" Sakura spat.

This wasn't the first time she'd hit him for bringing up the topic but it was the first that he'd seen tears stream down her face from it. He knew this was a tender subject but he wanted desperately for her to realize the truth. He watched Sakura storm down the hall and the distance grow between them. It would be a week before she would talk to him again.

No matter how many times people tried she would refuse to listen. She knew the truth but she would not acknowledge it. She had wrapped herself up in her denial so tightly that no one could tell her anything. She said it was all done for Reika-chan but deep down Naruto saw that it was also done for herself. Reika-chan was her life, her savior, her treasure and because of that she wouldn't let anything jeopardize it, even if it meant living a lie and deceiving herself and the one she loved most.

"I'm sorry." Naruto whispered to himself, for he knew the pain that was to come. This was only the beginning. Sakura's world that she had created would come crumbling down. He just hoped she was emotionally strong enough to survive it.

Oh man what was Naruto going to say before Sakura smacked him? Hmmmm..

So what Sakura told Sasuke was a lie =O
