*Flashback*

Konoha Highschool

October 9 / 1999

A cheery blond ran through the hallways, looking for his best friend, the most beautiful girl in the world in his opinion, he grinned when he saw her.

"Sakura-chan! " she smiled at his goofy best friend, he had gotten strangely handsome over the years, but she was still crushing on his brother... He was the most popular guy at school, 'Sasuke-kun', she waved at the whiskered teen.

"Hi Naruto! are you ready for the autumn dance?"

"Yep! Except i have no clue what 'Saints and Sinners' mean" She sweat dropped and sighed , he was just so stupid sometimes.

"Naruto... It means that if you are 'good' you have to come dressed as a devil, which means red and black clothes"

"And if i am a sinner?" he said with a smirk.

"Haha... You wish... Well then is the other way around... But you don't need to know that..."

"Hey i can be bad and devilish too!"

"Please... You're so vanilla..."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You're sweet, comforting... And everyone likes you!" He smiled at her analogy... She was so smart"Your brother on the other hand... He's like chocolate, bitter but sweet, luscious, and oh-so delectable" she sighed as he frowned.

"Well whatever..." He turned his back on her and walked away, but was suddenly stopped by Sakura.

"Hey... You know you're my best friend... Plus , who said vanilla is not delicious as well?" She winked at him, and he instantly melted.

- 2 hours later -

"So i have to wear a mask?" Naruto asked.

"Hn... Probably... Whatever i don't care"

"Sasuke! You have to help me bro!"

"What's the big deal about this dance?"

"Well... I think i might invite Sakura-chan!" He said grinning.

"Yeah... About that... Listen i'm sorry but i'm taking her..." He said indifferently.

"What?! You have never liked her!" He said looking upset.

"So? She's gaining popularity... She has gotten pretty over the years, plus i know she wouldn't say no to me..."

"You know i have liked her since we were kids!" He said furiously.

"Come on dobe... She doesn't like you back... Sorry bro, just get over it..." He said cooly just to walk away.

That night Sakura called him, and 'oh-surprise' it was to tell him that and i quote 'Omygosh! Sasuke-kun is going to take me to the dance!' He faked a laugh and told her it was great, then hanged up and stayed in his room... He didn't talked to his brother that night.

"Why can't i be like Sasuke?"

.

.

The next morning it was his birthday, but he woke up really early so no one could bother him, not Kakashi, or his brother or his Godfather.

He decided he wasn't gonna go to the dance , for what? To see Sasuke smooching Sakura? Telling her lies... It's not like he could do something, after all, Sasuke was like the best fighter ever, Naruto had decided that he would never be as good as his brother...

- Later that night -

Naruto had returned to the safety of his bedroom, he knew Kakashi was out and thay Sasuke had gone somewhere to buy his outfit or something... He heard a ring, he supposed it was Sasuke, and as much as he didn't wanted to see him, he fighted against his will and opened the door. And thank God he did.

I wasn't Sasuke, oh no... It was the oh-so-smoking hot ms. Haruno, he remembered what she said about the saints and Sinners theme, she was an angel... So she dressed up as a devil... And if that's what the devil looks like... He was dying to go to hell... She was wearing a fitted black skirt with killer black heels and a lovely... A little too short (not that he cared) blouse, he was pretty sure he was drooling.

"Uh... Naruto?"

"Uh? Yeah... Naruto? Oh me ... I'm Naruto!" He straighten up as she laughed, then she smiled and hugged him as she sang 'happy birthday' softly on his ear, after she letted him go, she frowned when he saw him in his jammies.

"Well when are you getting ready?"

"Oh... I'm not going"

"Why?"

"I'm not feeling okay..."

"Well i don't believe you..."

"Sakura-chan... Please just let it go"

She sighed... When he behaved like this... Oh boy...

"What are you doing here Sakura-chan?" He asked

"Well... Your brother didn't came to pick me up... So i came here, is he ready?" She said with a bright smile.

"Uh... Actually i think he's getting his outfit.. But I'm sure he'll be home soon" Naruto faked a smile.

He was so dead. First he takes his only opportunity to ask Sakura out, then he doesn't pick her up and now he makes her wait! Are you kidding?

Time passed by , and Sakura was still loyally waiting for Sasuke to arrive. She was starting to tear up.

"Don't worry Sakura, i am sure somethings up... But i know he'll be here soon!" He said smiling " In fact if it will make you feel better , i'll call him, just wait for me here!"

He ran upstairs searching for his phone and started dialing , and he wouldn't answer, he dialed again , and then again. Finally after five times dialing it was answered.

"Sasuke, you fucking idiot! Where are you?!" But he didn't respond, then he heard... Moaning? He pressed the phone tightly to his ear.

'Oh ...Sasuke! Oh did you turned off the phone?'

'Yeah i think so...' His voice sounded raspy.

'Who was it?'

'Just my stupid little brother... Probably trying to reprimand me because i'm late for a date'

'Oh forehead pinkie? Haha...'

'Yeah... Well care to go for round 2?'

'Oh Sasuke *moan* Oh God you -"

And he hung up before things got weirder. After shaking off the embarrassment , he started to rage... He was sleeping with another girl... And his poor Sakura-chan was waiting. So he yelled at Sakura not to worry and warned her that he was gonna take a shower.

After half an hour he was ready... And he really hadn't bought anything... But he had lots of white cloth... Maybe he was a little vanilla... He quickly changed , and picked up the lovely roses he bought so Sasuke would give them to her and walked towards the stairs, he was nervous , but he was determined that he was gonna make Sakura the happiest woman alive.

He walked down the stairs. He dropped his flowers. No. No way. What he saw froze him. Sasuke had arrived, and was now way to close to Sakura, about to kiss... And Naruto could tell it was not gonna be a pretty kiss, he quickly closed the door and ran up his bedroom crying his heart out.

*End of flashback*

"What?" She said softly... She looked as if she was about to cry. "I had no idea... I'm so sorry"

"You didn't knew..."

"You were really gonna do that for me?"

"Yes... Like i told you, i had a big crush on you"

"Oh Naruto..."

"Let me finish... This is when the story really begins... So i was very depressed..."

*flashback*

Naruto heard a knock on his window, it was his Godfather Jiraiya, that old perv.

"What do you want" He said sobbing.

"Come on kid let me in!" Naruto just shrugged, he couldn't be there all alone... He guessed this was better than nothing.

"Oh kid... I saw what happened"

"Are you like a stalker or something?"

"I was hanging around the neighborhood then i saw your crush smooching with Sasuke and find you here crying... What's it all about?"

"She'll never love me" He said crying again.

"Hey! That's no way to talk, you don't need her... Love is for rookies kid!"

"B-but?"

"No buts!" He said firmly taking out a bottle of sake from his backpack. "You want it to stop hurting so bad?"

Naruto nodded slightly.

"Then do what i say" he opened the bottle and pour some on a plastic glass he carried around.

"Here, drink" and he drank, it was very bitter and tasted like shit, but it felt good.

"Come on boy... I'll take you out"

They rode off to a bar nearby, filled with some nasty-looking people and some strangely over attractive girls that looked really 'friendly'. They sat down as Jiraiya commanded him to drink some more. And then even more. Yeah... Naruto eventually was drunk.

"Naruto"

"Huh... Yeah?" He said goofily

"Listen carefully, you know what's the secret for never being hurt?"

"No... Please tell me i don't wanna feel like this anymore" He said pleadingly.

"Then you drink yourself up, you go to a lot of parties, seduce lots of girls and finally take on some sports"

"So you want me to act like Sasuke?" He said disgusted.

"No, i want you to be BETTER than Sasuke"His eyes drifted off to a bunch of girls, very attractive girls of all ages , well 18 to 40 maybe... He smiled, Naruto was gonna get laid tonight. "Well my boy, lets get you some practice" He said disturbingly.

"What do you mean?" He arched his brow and pouted his lip.

"Stop being 'cute' you need to be cold, and appear sexy to every girl okay?"

"Fine..."

"Now wait for me"
Jiraiya talked over with some of the younger girls he had seen, and he signaled towards Naruto with a smile.

An eighteen year old took him away... And told him he was going to 'teach him'.

And the rest is history, finally he was just like Sasuke.

.

.

Naruto had left school for three months, he was returning in january.

He had traveled everywhere with his Godfather, and quickly became disrespectful to woman, treating them as sex objects , he also decided to work out and pursue fighting, and he got really good.

A pink-haired girl saw him arrive, he looked so handsome. She smiled and brightly said.

"Naruto! I've missed you..."

"Hn... Whatever" he said coldly.

.

*end of flashback*

"So that's why you did it..." She said sadly.

"Sorry Sakura..."

"No! I'm sorry! You were trying to help and then... I..."

"It's okay... You didn't knew..."

She sighed lightly, this was one hell of a story.

"And Shion?"

"Well... You can guess what happened, i slept with her, she got pregnant, and she had the baby"

"Really?"

"It was a 'she' , i was so scared, but when i saw her for the first time, i immediately fell in love with her... I named her Nathalie..."

She smiled. She had forgotten how gentle he really was.

"So what happened?" She saw his face harden.

"Shion left... Just like that... I was only glad Nathalie didn't resembled her... And then i straighten myself up, got a decent job at an agency and raised her..." His eyes were getting watery and she was afraid to ask why. She did anyways.

"What happened...?"

He deeply breathed.

"Five years ago, when all of this shit started, exactly on my birthday, we left the house with Sasuke fighting our way towards safety" He stopped looking away from her , he didn't wanted her to see him cry.

"... We reached an impasse... And Sasuke stayed behind protecting us... I ran with my little girl, carrying her in my arms and suddenly a soldier stopped us... He... He was looking for me... And then... He shot multiple bullets and i got separated from Nathalie briefly... I heard a shotgun, it was Sasuke, he had reached us and... Shot the guy, and then... I realized it..." He shot his eyes harshly "I was completely bullet-free and to my horror... Nathalie..." He felt Sakura gripping his hand.

"Don't... You don't have to continue..." She said, approaching him, when she saw no sign of disapproval, she embraced him tightly. He wrapped his arms around her as well... He wiped his tears away.

"S...Sakura?"

"Yeah?" She responded softly.

"Don't tell Ellie... At least not the last part okay? I don't want her to worry about that happening to her..."

"Okay" She responded. They stayed like that for a while, Naruto had forgotten how it felt to be in contact with someone else, he remembered how he always wished for Sakura to hug him like that. Maybe wishes did came true.

"We... We have to go" he said blushing lightly.

"Yeah..."

"I'll wake Ellie up..."

"Okay" He left and she stayed there for a while.

*flashback*

Saints and Sinners dance

"Sasuke-kun! What are you doing?!" She screamed loudly as he tried to touch her bottom.

"Come on, let's just have sex"

"Was that all you wanted?!"

"Come on, i'm hot, and i know you want me ..." She frowned as she slapped him hard across the face. He was such a Dick.

"Ouch... Whatever weirdo" he said insultingly.

She ran away crying, she got to a park which was nearby the school. She tried dialing Naruto, but he wouldn't answer... She wished he would have asked her... She would've said yes... Even if he was just a friend, he was her best friend, she was sure he would never hurt her... She stood there on the cold grass, crying until the next day. Waiting for Naruto to come and comfort her. But he never did.

*end of flashback*

"Oh Naruto... I really wished you asked me from the beginning, maybe it would have been different"
