Holy crap! SO sorry for this LATE update! I could feed you excuses on why it happened, but I feel you don't wanna hear 'em. But to make up for it, I will give 2 CHAPTERS so I can catch up ^^. Please go on and read pwease!
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN A SINGLE THING BUT THE PLOT! "If I Ruled the World" belongs to BTR, and I am in no way saying that I own it.
Warning: There is a bit of a raunchy scene, but no detail. I don't think it was enough to boost up the rating.
Hinata watched with great amusement as Naruto tossed and turned on the less-than-comfortable couch. With that pleased smile intact, she returned to the sketch book before her. The bluenette was drawing a wonderfully sketched monster, complete with devil horns and a tail. It was also quite hard to miss the three lines adorning each cheek of the monster. When Naruto turned over to face her, she made quick note the color of his cerulean blue eyes; for the coloring of it later. "Do… you… mind?" Naruto barked at her. Hinata paid no attention to her unwelcomed house guest and continued adding detail to the monster's horns.
The blonde growled inwardly, turning over on his side away from her whilst grumbling to himself. Finally, he was able to find it comfortable enough to fall asleep. Hinata took that as her cue to leave, and collected her pencils bag and decaf peppermint mocha latte, returning to the safe haven of her room. Hinata did not fall asleep easily that night. She did not trust the overbearing pop star. If it weren't illegal, she'd take that stick up his ass and shove it up through his head, causing his eyes to explode out of his head… Hinata shook; she was scared of herself for a moment. Hate can do that to a person.
Trying to get her mind off of the man, she popped in her headphones, putting her red iPod nano on shuffle. The first song? If I Ruled the World by Leaf Shinobi. Hinata growled. She questioned even getting that damned song in the first place. She ripped the headphones from her ears and turned onto her stomach. With a sigh, she began replaying the events of that day in her head. Naruto pushing that poor kid, making the little boy almost cry. But she took pride in making that kid feel better with free ice cream. Her boss even complimented her on it, giving her a two dollar raise. If you think about it, it was a lot at that dinky little Burger King. So, in a sense, she kind of thanked the stupid blonde for storming in that afternoon. With the tiniest trace of a smile, she was able to fall asleep.
Naruto, on the other hand, woke up after a few minutes. That day haunted his dreams. That day started off with the normal routine. Wake up, get ready, rehearse, go to some signing or meet and greet, sound check, then the show. Naruto loved every minute of it; his adoring fans, singing the songs he wrote with his friends. It was fantastic! But when he got home to his upscale Tokyo apartment, everything in his life went crashing down. His door just clicked shut, his hand in his pocket. He held onto the little black box for dear life, as if he let it go, it would slip away.
Sakura should've been getting ready for their date that night, but instead, he heard a strange noise coming from their bedroom.
A moan.
Thinking Sakura was hurt, he lost all sense. He charged to their room. Naruto soon discovered that Sakura was FAR from hurt. What he saw before him just shattered his heart. Sakura laid on their bed, a man hovering over her. Naruto was too heartbroken to even think about what was going on beneath that blanket. "Naruto…" was the only thing that Sakura could utter. The man on top of her, which turned out to be their manager, Nagato Pain, quickly shuffled away from the pink haired girl. With one tear slipping from his eyes, he only said one thing.
"Why?"
Before Sakura could explain herself, he ran from the apartment, his mind hazy from the sight he saw. He ran, the tears that threatened to spill blurred his way. Naruto soon found himself in the park, which was filled with sakura trees. It was the place where he least wanted to be. But, Naruto continued to walk through the park, staring at the now stupid black box. He closed his eyes, more tears coming to his eyes. With a small grunt, he chucked the ring box across the park. It landed in the koi pond that was placed in the center of the park.
Naruto stared at his hands as he thought about the memory. It plagued his mind, and he just couldn't get rid of it. He sighed in frustration before laying back on his side. He was able to sleep with no dreams that night. The blonde thanked his lucky stars for that.
