A/N: Ok, so I suck at updating. I hate myself. And many of you might think last chapter has multiple flaws into my master plan. Yes master plan people, jk! But it was meant to raise eyebrows! This chapter will hopefully settle your eyebrows. Hopefully.

I've got a huge life problem on my shoulders at the moment and I don't want to drag it into there. But I just damn hate myself when i can't update. REALLLLLLY sorry to all readers.

Warning: OOC Sakura.

[Christmas day – late morning after the Christmas Eve party]

Naruto sat quietly in the corner of the local Starbucks. His fingertips played the rim of his takeaway cup. It was cold out, small white flakes raining down.

The sound of the door was heard and in walked cosily bundled up men.

"Sorry, the weather is a bitch."

"Yeah its okay, I don't really wanna take a walk in this," Naruto gestured at the hustle of people outside.

"Anyways, ok so its time to fill you in."

"Yes please Suigetsu, yes please."

"But you can't tell Sasuke we told you this." Juugo added.

"Got it, wont tell." Naruto pinkie promised Juugo who then left to get coffee, "so start from the beginning. I love me some rich gossip." Naruto smiled his trademark grin before adding, "Oh wait just a sec,"

"Hm?"

"I was just thinking before you came in…"

"Yeah?" Suigetsu encouraged.

"Well I bumped into Sasuke at the park a while ago and he said he doesn't really celebrate Christmas. But it turns out he holds a Christmas Eve party every year?"

"Aha, good point. Actually this party that he hosts… its more of Juugo and I – "

Juugo gave Suigetsu a raised eyebrow,

"Okay fine, well MY doing. Yeah, its true Sasuke doesn't celebrate Christmas; coz he's got better things to do…. So that's why ages ago I convinced him to let me host MY Christmas eve party at his swanky new apartment. You know, I didn't think he'd agree and let me. But I think something inside of him got sick of spending Christmas with paperwork."

"Oh… But then why tell me he currently doesn't celebrate Christmas?"

"Oh I get that," Juugo helped, "I think its because every year, something interesting happens at the party, I'm just saying what I'm thinking so, to be honest, I think he didn't want to get you involved with any of the things he might've been ashamed of. Aka, She Who Must Not Be Named."

The blonde raised an eyebrow and questioned, "what? Who is She Who Must Not Be Named?"

"Ah, OK well," Juugo started while Suigetsu took off his grey coat, "this is where the story starts, it's a long one –"

"That's what she said!" Suigetsu interjected, accompanied with a few laughs.

Juugo shot the silver-haired man a glare and explained, "It's a long STORY."

"Shoot." Naruto encouraged.

Suigetsu began the story telling:

"Well, this drama we can consider rather… recent. And it had died down for a while. But last night, fuel was added again, and the fire grew. So the main drama happened not long ago at all, maybe two months and a half?"

"So quite a while before I moved here?"

"Pretty much. That time was when we were getting settled back into things you know?"

"Alright, so what exactly happened?"

"No, no we start right from the beginning." Suigetsu said slyly,

"Well there is this girl. She Who Must Not Be Named." Juugo explained.

The boys emitted giggles. Manly giggles.

"Aka the Dark Bitch." Suigetsu added, "well, you get the point. We don't like to talk about her much. Not around Sasuke anyways."

"Okay, um carry on."

"Yes, so our past, we don't exactly love talking about it so lets get the main point out there first: Sasuke had amnesia. Retrograde amnesia. The kind where the patient can't remember events that had happened before the accident." "Wow, that really… sucks." Naruto was rather shocked, "but carry on." "Yeah, so you wanna know about what the actual accident was?"

"Um depends, is the story long? I've got to go get ready for a Christmas party."

"Fine… long story short, She Who Must Not Be Named and Sasuke were out, they were walking on the street and Dark Bitch was drunk and high. She suddenly walked out onto the road and a car's path was going straight for her."

"But how did Sa-"

"He wasn't drugged up or drunk, and he chose to shove her out of the way. And he got totalled. Well almost."

"So why do you guys hate her so much?"

"Because one, it was her fault for getting drugged up by a road; two, she toyed Sasuke, and as his best friends, we can't take that; three, she is so damn manipulative, she can get almost anything she wants; and four, she's just plain evil. One minute you start to like her, and she's this sweet lovely girl that's a bit annoying. But the next, you just want to rip her head off and throw it into a volcano."

"Wow, okay…" Naruto shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

And an awkward silence filled the three…

"Well I've really got to go, thanks for filling me in, I'll see you two around yeah?" Naruto said.

"Yeah,"

"Bye~" Juugo added happily.

"Wait, Naruto." Suigetsu stopped him.

"Hm?"

"You might think we are just overreacting about this girl… And most likely think I'm a bit crazy about this whole situation with Sasuke…"

"No man… I understand…" Naruto tried to show some sympathy.

"No Naruto, you don't. She left him. She walked away from Sasuke, in the time where he needed her most. When he got hit, she wasn't the one to call the ambulance. The guy who ran Sasuke over did. The Dark Bitch fled the scene. We couldn't find her anywhere. So we guessed that she left at that time coz she was scared of getting shoved in the slammer for using drugs, and yeah, that's sorta understandable. But she practically… Disappeared off the radar. Even after Sasuke was released from the hospital. And for the first time in a while, she made her comeback. At the party last night."

"Oh, so Sasuke being drunk was triggered by that."

"Yeah. Oh and before you leave – Sasuke is our best friend," Suigetsu gestured to Juugo and himself, "and as his best friend, we only care about how well he is coping with all this. It was a huge toll on us. Ya' know, when he lost his memory. The amnesia affected him pretty bad. For a moment in time, I actually thought he wasn't going to remember Juu and I. But he did of course. And so we started helping him piece everything back together. A bit by bit. Make his life rather, normal again." Suigetsu continued while ruffling his own hair, "but our lives are pretty much NOT normal. And it was definitely hard to get ALL his memory back; which was why The Dark Bitch's presence was totally needed; as she played a massive role in his life… But as I said before, she didn't turn up. All she did was treat Sasuke like a toy, she played with his feelings, got bored, left, and then got bored with whatever she had started, then came back to Sasuke."

"Man seriously, Sasuke's got a hell of a life, you guys too." Naruto pointed out.

"Bro that's like the understatement of the century! Hahaha."

Juugo helped end Suigetsu's story:

"So I guess Sui was just trying to say: that girl, she is really bad. She was a really horrible person, and we extremely dislike her – "

"Hate." Suigetsu corrected.

"Suigetsu hates her and I extremely dislike her because she hurt Sasuke in ways that we never expected. And we don't mean to go all bromance, but we care about him, and we don't want her in our lives. But she just. Wont. Stay. Out."

Naruto nodded, gave great thanks for sharing their personal information and they shared goodbyes once again before he left.

As Naruto stepped out of the comfy Starbucks, he was rather shocked at what had happened in Sasuke's life. He learnt a lot in that small time. And he was pretty sure that that wasn't all of it.

Best not get involved… Naruto thought.

[Later]

Riiinnng riiiinnggg!

Naruto's cell phone rang and his long hand reached out to answer it without looking.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Hey Naru, are you doing anything special for Christmas?"

"Hey! Sakura! And um, well Kakashi invited me over for dinner with Tsunade and Jiraiya."

"Oh…" Sakura tried her best to sound disappointed.

"Um, uh, do you wanna come?"

"Oh nah, don't worry Naru, I don't want to be a trouble to you guys. And besides, I don't think they like me very much…"

"Awww babe! I'm sure they like you! And you can be my guest of honour!"

"Ah, thanks Naru, you are too nice!"

"Cool, I'll pick you up at half past four ok?"

"Yup ok! Love youuuu!" she cooed.

"Yeah, love you too Sakura."
