Price of Cheating

This fic was inspired by three things, 1) BrucesGirl's NaruIru fic Before He Cheats on Y!Gallery, 2) Carrie Underwood's song Before He Cheats, and 3) My own thoughts of how I'd trash the treasured vehicle of a man who was cheating on me.

WARNING: Personally I feel that this deserves a warning, in this fic Sasuke's a cheating moron and Naruto totally trashes an badass gorgeous car to get even. Seriously the car's price tag is over $194,000.00 for just the standard stuff.

Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto there would be no reason for me to take my anger at Sasuke out in a fic cause he'd so totally be in Konoha banging, and being banged by, Naruto. So no I don't own Naruto, I wish to all that is holy that I owned Itachi though.

Uchiha Itachi was not a man who was easily surprised. He was a man who had seen it all and done it all, some of it twice, and catching him off guard was nigh impossible. However Itachi found himself standing in the foyer of his parents' home, where he and Sasuke were about to go in to the mandatory Sunday dinner, utterly shocked at the sight before him. Sasuke stood with a woman, a woman he'd introduced as his fiance of all things. The reason this so confounded Itachi was that he knew Sasuke's old high school friend, Sasuke's best friend, was also the youngest Uchiha's long time lover. He'd seen Sasuke and Naruto kissing as people in love do, not three days ago. So Itachi's surprise at seeing Sasuke introduce the light blond haired and pale blue eyed woman as his fiance was quite understandable. In the elder Uchiha sibling's opinion, the woman looked like a washed out female version of Naruto.

As their parents enthused over Sasuke's 'fiance', well enthused as much as Uchihas were capable that is, Itachi met his little brother's eyes,

"Sasuke may I speak with you privately?"

Sasuke excused himself and followed Itachi into a small study off the foyer. The elder sibling met Sasuke's gaze levelly, "Did something happen between you and Naruto?"

The younger brother blinked in surprise, "No why would you ask?"

"I ask because you just brought a strange woman home with you and introduced her as your fiance. If this is some joke you're playing Sasuke I can assure you Mother and Father will not take it well."

"It's no joke Aniki. I fully intend to marry Ino."

"For kami's sake why? I thought you loved Naruto."

"I do but we need heirs for the Uchiha name and since you have already made it clear to Mother and Father that you will not marry a woman to continue our line, I have to."

"And Naruto agreed to this?"

"I haven't told him and you are not to tell him either Aniki."

Had Itachi not had years of Uchiha training under his belt his jaw would have hit the floor, "You're keeping this from Naruto? You're planning on still being his lover while you marry that woman? You'd hurt him that way?"

Sasuke shook his head, "He won't find out unless someone tells him and what he doesn't know won't hurt him."

The younger Uchiha walked out of the study, leaving a stunned Itachi in his wake. He couldn't believe that his little brother actually thought he could keep this from Naruto. the blond might be extremely naive but he was not stupid by any means, sooner or later he'd figure out that something was going on with Sasuke and when he did...well Itachi might as well order the headstone for Sasuke now. He knew exactly what it would say too: 'Here Lies Uchiha Sasuke. Born July 23, 1984 - Killed By His Own Extreme Stupidity November 15, 2008'

Itachi shook his head and left the study to sit through the farce of a dinner that was about to take place.

Itachi excused himself from the after dinner discussion pleading a headache. In all honesty he simply couldn't watch Sasuke with the woman, Ino.

It wasn't that she was a bad person, on the contrary she seemed to be very nice and had managed to charm his parents in five minutes flat, a feat that heretofore had only been accomplished by one other person, Naruto. No it wasn't anything against Sasuke's fiance, it was simply that Itachi couldn't get the image of how hurt Naruto was certain to be when he found out. Nor could Itachi exorcise the image of how heartbroken Sasuke would be when Naruto severed their relationship.


And Naruto would end it. Naruto had been orphaned when his mother had killed her husband and then herself because Naruto's father had been cheating. Unfaithfulness was one of the rare things Naruto could not and would not forgive.

Itachi walked outside to where he had parked his baby, a blood red Hayabusa Turbo. It was a fully-loaded, sleek predator of a motorcycle that Itachi took pride in and one that should anyone ever so much as scuff the surface they could look forward to the eldest Uchiha son gutting them mercilessly. Next to the bike, parked a respectful distance away was Sasuke's midnight blue Porsche 911 GT2. Sasuke adored the Porsche just as much as Itachi did his Hayabusa and was just as rabidly protective.

Itachi froze where he stood when he saw a very familar blond standing next to the car. 'Oh shit.'

Naruto felt someone's gaze on him and turned to see Itachi, allowing the Uchiha to catch the shine of tear tracks on the tanned cheeks. The blond met Itachi's gaze dispassionately, "Itachi."

The raven swallowed, "Naruto what brings you here?"

Naruto trailed tanned fingers over the car's surface never taking his gaze from Itachi's, "I think you know why. Is she pretty?"

Itachi flinched, "Naruto-"

"I asked you a question Itachi. Is the woman Sasuke is in there with pretty?"

Itachi closed his eyes, "Yes but she seems more like a pale version of you if you want my opinion."

Naruto nodded, "I came here after moving my things out of the apartment. Iruka-sensei dropped me off, I think he believes I plan to make a scene in front of your parents."

"Are you?"

Full lips turned up at the corners, "I should but no. I left Sasuke a letter in the apartment but I'm here to make sure he knows exactly how pissed I am."

Itachi felt a chill at the way Naruto hissed the last part of the sentence. The blond smoothed his hand over the surface of the car and raised a brow at Sasuke's brother. Just that quick Itachi knew exactly what Naruto was going to do and his own lips tilted up in a smirk. He should attempt to talk Naruto out of it but Sasuke had it coming and the only thing it would hurt was his brother's bank account and pride. Itachi inclined his head to Naruto and slid onto his bike to watch the show.

Naruto grinned fiercely, pleased that Itachi was on his side in this. He pulled out his key ring and pulled the spare key to the Porsche that Sasuke had given him off the ring before using it to carve into the paint job. Rather than scratch random patterns into the paint, Naruto carved insults until assaults on everything from Sasuke's morals to his sexual prowess to his manhood covered the car's surface. Naruto reached into the duffle bag he'd brought his supplies in and pulled out a huge bottle of orange permanent ink and a hunting knife his foster father's boyfriend had given him.

Itachi raised a brow at the knife when Naruto unsheathed it, it looked razor sharp and gleamed in the moonlight, it also put the one Crocadile Dundee used to shame. As he watched Naruto opened the car door with the key he'd used on the paint job.

Naruto stood and smirked at the pure white interior of the car. Sasuke had paid a fortune to have the custom suede leather seats and interior done in white and had always been paranoid about it being ruined. He bent and ducked into the car. The knife flashed as he carved spirals and his name into the seats and the leather trim. He didn't bother with cutting into the carpeted floor board, he had another plan for that. Finished cutting the interior up he grabbed the bottle of ink and poured it out over the seats, the carpet and anything else he thought it would stain until it was empty. He backed out of the car humming.

The eldest Uchiha chuckled as he heard the hum and recognized the tune. His gaze went, unbidden, to Naruto's ass when the blond bent over to put the now empty ink bottle back into the bag. He jerked his face away, he would be the first to admit that he'd always found Naruto unbearably attractive and had often wished he'd met the blond before Sasuke but Naruto was hurting over Sasuke's actions and as much as Itachi wanted to have the blond, he did not want to be a rebound or force attentions on the Uzumaki that the younger man was not ready for.

A loud thud followed by the sound of breaking glass brought Itachi's gaze back to Naruto. The blond held a metal bat and moved from the headlight he'd just smashed to give the other the same attention. He brought the bat down on every last bit of glass on the car's exterior, headlights, tail-lights, windshields, windows, none were spared. Finished with that step, Naruto brought the knife to bear again. He ripped into the tires with a savage zeal, slicing the rubber into ribbons that would be better suited to mulch.

The blond took a moment to circle the car and make sure he'd finished destroying it to his satisfaction then stuck a little smiley face on the radio antenna. He nodded put the tools he'd used to savage Sasuke's pride and joy back into his bag of tricks. When he turned around Itachi was standing and holding out a helmet, "Need a ride home Naruto?"

The blond smiled and accepted the helmet, "Thanks Itachi."

The older man put his own helmet on, flipped the hidden passenger seat down, slung his leg over to straddle the bike, and waited for Naruto to get on behind him and get a grip around his waist. He started the bike and mused, "You know I almost wish I could be around to see Sasuke's reaction when he sees his car."

Naruto's chuckle came through the helmet's intercom, "The antenna ornament is a spy camera. It'll transmit audio and video for up to 24 hours. Iruka-sensei's boyfriend gave it to me. It's pretty handy having you father date a CIA agent."

Itachi laughed as they peeled out of the driveway, through the Uchiha property's gates, and down the road, "I hope you're willing to let me see it."

The blond nodded, "Since you didn't turn me in you've got it."

"Sasuke had it coming."

Itachi's lips quirked when Naruto said the last line of the song he'd been humming in reply, "Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats."
