Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
Chapter 22
Naruto made his way down the stairs toward the attendance office. He couldn't fathom why it bothered him that Sasuke might see him interacting with Tammy.
It almost…. felt like he was cheating on Sasuke. And Naruto couldn't help but snort as the thought flashed through his mind.
He had already dated dozens of girls already and cheated on them with countless others. So why did this time feel any different?
And you know the funny part was? He wasn't even dating him! So the whole stupid betraying feeling thing really didn't even add up!
Naruto sighed and put it out of his mind. Damn that Uchiha was creeping stealthily into his heart.
He'd have to stop that eventually…. He'd just end up hurting him like he had everyone else. This is exactly why he was anti-social. He was getting too knee-deep.
Tammy was standing there, the halls were empty of anyone besides her. She
was in another ridiculously short skirt. Her shirt was more modest but still stuck to her bust.
Her hair was pulled down, curling over her shoulders. She was indeed pretty. And if he was completely straight she might actually stand a chance but he wasn't.
So keeping his face emotionless he made his way over. She smiled predatorily.
"Naruto kun I'm so glad you got my message." Tammy said her eyes twinkling. Her eyes moved up and down. Taking in his bandages, she smiled sadistically. Naruto glared.
"What the fuck do you want, didn't I make it perfectly clear the last time that I didn't want to be bothered." Naruto said coldly. She giggled.
"Ooh someone's had a bad day." Tammy said with a mocking baby voice.
She walked forward so she could be closer to him. "I see daddy did a number on you again Naruto kun!" She said mockingly in a singsong voice and laughed when he glared.
It's just so easy to get under his skin. Despite his best efforts, his emotions cannot be thrown away so easily. Tammy observed smugly
"Shut up." Naruto said his hands unconsciously clenching into fists. His whole body shook.
She sauntered closer and draped her arms over him and whispered. "Did he hurt you again Naruto kun? Did he make you scream? Did you beg for him to stop or….. "
She paused for second and then smirked. "… Did you beg for more?" Naruto snapped.
"SHUT UP!!" Naruto roared. He grabbed her by the shoulders and slammed her into the wall. "DON'T TALK ABOUT HIM!! JUST SHUT UP!!!"
Tammy merely laughed again. "You begged him didn't you? We both know each other so
well Naruto. Why deny it?"
"It felt good didn't it? Why not just submit to the unavoidable? You want him and we both know it."
"You don't know anything!" Naruto said voice filled with menace. "You're nothing but a pawn! Your worthless, replaceable!! You meant nothing to my father and now you mean nothing to me!!"
"Then why am I still here Naruto?" Tammy asked smiling. Naruto froze. "Why do you continue to use me even though I'm completely worthless?"
" Oh Naruto, Naruto when will you learn? I'm the only one that loves you for the monster that you really are."
She wormed her arms around his neck, drawing him closer. "I am the only one who's truly seen the real you. I'm the only one who cares."
Naruto didn't move so she leaned forward and finally closed the narrow gap between them. He responded immediately .
He slammed her against the wall and kissed her harshly, violently taking control of the kiss. There was no love in his kisses.
There never was. He didn't love her. Tammy knew that. Or she should. She accepted that. She should've already accepted that.
She knew him so well…..and Naruto knew that. He hated her. He fucking hated her.
The way she got under his skin, how she could make him react. … She knew him at a level to no one but his father had and…. continued to know him at..
And it disgusted him. But it always ended up like this.
He finally pulled away from her and wiped his lips in disgust. Afterwards he always felt so dirty for submitting to her statements. For trusting in her words. She smiled prettily again.
"Are you going to class Naruto kun?" Tammy asked sweetly. "Because if your not we could always go out and do things together."
" And I'll even excuse you free of charge. I miss spending time with you," she pouted and tried to embrace him again but he backed up. She pouted again.
Naruto kept his face emotionless. "No Tammy. I have things to do. You should know by now that I always have better things to do than hang out with you."
Tammy's face suddenly twisted into a scowl. "Well Naruto kun who is it this time?"
"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked with a bored drawl leaning against the wall.
His mask was back on. He didn't want to give her the satisfaction of watching it crumble under her words again.
"I mean who's the little whore this time?" Tammy hissed slamming her hands on either side of his head.
" Which little slut are you meeting after this!? You never refuse me unless you have someone you're meeting besides me! Why are you doing this?! She won't love you like I do! You know that!"
" I'm not meeting anyone." Naruto said with an exasperated sigh, his eyes narrowed in annoyance. " Well my friends, but that has little to do with you now doesn't it Tammy?"
Tammy chuckled suddenly. "You expect me to believe that Naruto kun? That's a horrible lie for you to tell. We both know you don't let people close to you not after that time. Friends please." She chuckled cruelly again.
"Think what you will." Naruto said indifferently. "I could care less if you believe my words or not. I have to go now, class will be starting soon." with that said he pulled away from her grasp and turned and walked away.
Tammy let her rage boil-over. No. Naruto could not make friends.
No it was not possible! He would never! She knew him better than anyone.
No it had to be another woman. It had to be!
The Naruto she knew wouldn't have that look in his eyes.
His beautiful azure eyes were always a beacon to his true emotions and for as long as she had know him his eyes had always been like stones.
But now his eyes are starting to soften. Some little bitch was starting to melt over his frozen heart.
She couldn't allow that. Naruto's heart belonged to her! No one else's! She'd find out who this little tramp was and dispose of her.
Just like she did with all the other girls who got too close. She smiled and walked into the office. No she had nothing to fear. Naruto would never fall for anyone.
He was too broken and hurt. No one would ever be able to repair him. And once he realized that he'd come to her like she'd always planned.
--------------
Sasuke decided this was the stupidest thing he had ever thought of. Why in the hell did he decide to follow naruto?
He was acting like a suspicious girlfriend. But he couldn't help it. He didn't want Naruto anywhere near that fucking slut. She did things to Naruto.
Yesterday when he had come back to the classroom after talking to Tammy (A.N Remember on chapter 8?) Naruto's eyes had become so sunken. So lifeless. Those same eyes he had seen on Naruto when he had first laid eyes on him.
"Why do you think Tammy wants to talk to Naruto in the first place?" Kiba asked softly.
They weren't that behind the blond. If they spoke too loudly he would turn and discover them. That wouldn't be good because then they'd be sent away and never get to hear what they were talking about.
"I think she's mad Naruto hasn't been visiting her." Shikamaru said rolling his eyes. "Feh women are so troublesome."
Sasuke held up a hand suddenly. Kiba and Shikamaru halted. Naruto had stopped walking. Tammy was a few feet away. They stood hidden behind a wall and listened in carefully.
"Naruto kun I'm so glad you got my message." They heard the unmistakable voice of Tammy say.
"……..didn't want to be fucking bothered." Naruto's voice retorted. Sasuke inched closer. He couldn't hear Naruto's voice clearly enough. Giggles floated out.
"………… did a number on you again Naruto kun." And again laughter. Sasuke glanced sidelong at Kiba and Shikamaru who also looked at him apprehensively.
So this wasn't an accident. It had happened before. And Naruto and Tammy knew exactly who it was that had done it.(A.N They're talking about his bruises and injuries. Just wanna clear it up!)
"Shut up!" Sasuke heard clear raw emotion in Naruto's voice. It seemed whoever they were talking about was a touchy subject. It did nothing to deter Tammy if she heard the warning in Naruto's voice.
"Did he hurt you again Naruto kun? Did he make you scream? Did you beg for him to stop…or" She paused for second and then from his angle Sasuke watched as a smirk curled on her lips. "……did you beg for more."
Whatever meaning lay behind those words were lost on Sasuke, Kiba, and Shikamaru. However Naruto snapped.
"SHUT UP!!" Naruto roared. Kiba beside Sasuke stiffened. Sasuke watched in horrible fascination as Naruto grabbed Tammy by the shoulders and slammed her against the wall.
The raw hatred in Naruto's eyes made him almost flinch. "DON'T TALK ABOUT HIM!! JUST SHUT UP!!!"
Tammy was laughing again and Sasuke felt impressed against his will. In the face of this type of anger he would've been shaking.
"You begged him didn't you. We both know each other so well Naruto."
"Why deny it? It felt good didn't it? Why not just submit to the unavoidable. You want him and we both know it."
Even from this distance Sasuke could tell her words were beginning to worm their way into Naruto's brain. Twisting him and confusing him.
"You don't know anything!" Naruto spoke voice filled with menace.
Sasuke shivered. Whoa naruto sounded sexy, pissed off.
"You're nothing but a pawn! Your worthless, replaceable!! You meant nothing to my father and now you mean nothing to me!!"
Sasuke frowned confused. What did Naruto's father have to do with anything? And why was naruto's father such a touchy subject?
"She compared me to my fucking father." Naruto had snarled. Flashed through his mind from yesterday. Does naruto hate his father? He wondered.
No that couldn't be it. right? What would make naruto hate his father to such a deep level of hatred.
He was shaken from his thoughts as Tammy's voice floated out once more.
"Then why am I still here Naruto?" Tammy asked and she was smiling.
Sasuke froze where he was listening. Why was naruto still there if he didn't care about her? Sasuke's heart started to beat painfully in his chest as Naruto's voice did not rise again.
"Why do you still use me even though I'm completely worthless?" Tammy continued and Sasuke felt like covering his ears. He didn't want to hear anymore.
"Naruto, Naruto when will you learn? I'm the only one that loves you for the monster that you really are."
Sasuke watched as Tammy wormed her arms around Naruto's neck and…Naruto..Naruto didn't stop her .
"I am the only one who's truly seen the real you."
I'm the only one who cares."
And then she leaned forward. Sasuke watched in fixated horror as Tammy crashed her lips against Naruto's in slow motion.
All sounds ceased to exist to Sasuke. And the worst part was that Naruto didn't…he didn't push her away. He watched as Naruto grabbed and slammed her against the wall and how he kissed her.
Sasuke's mind screamed at him to run. To just get away. But his feet wouldn't budge. All he could feel was numbness spreading over his entire body. No this isn't happening. Sasuke denied. Naruto wasn't kissing her! He isn't kissing her!!
