Chapter 12: Beyond Betrayal

Naruto sat at Ichiraku ramen, smiling widely as he shoveled delicious ramen into his mouth.

"Naruto!" Naruto turned around in his seat, slurping up his noodles. He smiled widely as he noted that Shizune had been the one to call his name.

"Hello-"

"I've been looking for you everywhere!" Shizune said, sounding slightly out of breath. Naruto's eyes widened slightly, noting Shizune's obvious hurried attempts to find him. His stomach did an unpleasant flip-flop in anxious anticipation.

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked, his face growing suddenly serious. Shizune looked at him and took a deep breath before smiling widely.

"Sakura will be home soon!" Shizune announced happily. Naruto's eyes widened in surprise as his face split into a huge grin.

"That's great! When will she get home?!" Naruto asked excitedly. Sakura was coming home!

"Tsunade said that she should be coming home in the next couple of days," Shizune said, still smiling winningly at him. "All charges have been cleared too. There won't be a problem when she comes back."

Naruto couldn't believe it! What great news! He couldn't wait to tell Sasuke-

Shit. Sasuke.

Naruto's smile slipped, but he plastered it back on before Shizune had time to notice.

"I have a lot of things to do to make sure she has a great return home," Naruto said, his voice filled with a fake cheeriness that didn't quite match his genuine happy tone from earlier. "I better get started!" Naruto said, before starting to rush off.

"OI! NARUTO!"

Naruto turned back around seeing that it wasn't Shizune that had been calling for his attention this time, but rather Teuchi, the ramen storeowner.

"You gotta pay for your food, you know?!" Teuchi yelled angrily. Naruto laughed nervously as he rubbed the back of his head rather sheepishly.

"Sorry, sorry!" Naruto apologized before running back to the stand, quickly throwing cash onto the counter and then hurrying off.

- - - - - - - - - - - -


Naruto's mind was a whirl as he rushed back to his and Sakura's home. He hadn't been there in ages because he had moved in with Sasuke. Returning back home shouldn’t have made his stomach twist in anxiety like it did.

Sakura's return home was not filling him with the joy it should have been. Instead, a deep sense of guilt settled inside of him. He loved Sakura, just not in the same way or to the same degree he loved Sasuke.

What was he going to do when Sakura came home? How would he explain to her that he had practically moved in with Sasuke, and they had been having sex for pleasure? Naruto closed his eyes, furious at himself. He should never have accepted Sasuke's advances. It had become more than just about saving his life long ago, and the idea that he had been going to Sasuke for pleasure filled him with self-loathing.

And what was he going to tell Sasuke when Sakura expected – as she should – that he stop seeing Sasuke as much? As her husband, he needed to respect her wishes. After all, nothing had been her fault. Heck, he hadn’t even known about it himself! Sasuke had been the one keeping secrets from everyone.

It seemed like so long ago that he had been truly mad at Sasuke for not telling him what was going on. There would always be that faint annoyance that Sasuke hadn't acted sooner. Now...now things were different.

What was he going to do when he saw Sakura?

Hell, what was he going to do when he saw Sasuke next? Naruto closed his eyes, feeling even guiltier as a small part of him wished Sakura wouldn't return home.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Naruto paced the length of his and Sasuke's – no, he couldn't think like that anymore – of just Sasuke's living room, waiting for Sasuke to return. Naruto had returned from his own house, which had seemed unwelcoming upon entering. Something about his home had felt off, and he felt guilty immediately. His home had felt off because he didn't consider it his home any more. Sasuke's place felt more like home than when he had lived with Sakura. So much guilt was building up within him that he wasn't sure how much he could take.

He wished Sasuke would get home, so they could start discussing what would happen when Sakura returned. When Sasuke finally entered through his front door, Naruto had half a mind to hit the bastard except Sasuke wouldn't have had any idea why Naruto was so frustrated.

"Where've you been?" Naruto asked Sasuke as Sasuke returned home. "Are you okay?" Naruto asked a second later, noticing the blood on Sasuke's arm, pointing to it. Sasuke looked at his arm, his eyes widening a fraction before going back to normal.

"I was on a mission. I thought I had cleaned myself up pretty good afterwards."

"Mission?" Naruto asked, surprised. "Without me?" Sasuke shrugged nonchalantly.

"Tsunade gave me a mission this morning. It was just a C rank. It only required one shinobi," Sasuke said. Naruto narrowed his eyes, wondering why Tsunade hadn't sent him on the mission, and then figured she had probably figured he would want to get ready for when Sakura was returning. Naruto cleared his throat, figuring that he might as well get it over and done with.

"Sakura will be returning home soon," Naruto said. Sasuke's entire body went rigid, and he turned slightly away from Naruto.

"Are you sure?" Sasuke murmured after a while. Naruto nodded before he realized that Sasuke wasn't looking at him.

"Yes. Tsunade told me she'd heard word from Sakura. Well, actually, Shizune told me that Tsunade had got word from Sakura," Naruto explained. Naruto took a step toward Sasuke, hesitant. He could see the hurt in Sasuke’s demeanor, and he knew it was his fault. He had led Sasuke on.

During the past year since Sakura had left, Naruto had never turned down Sasuke's advances. He had never denied Sasuke anything.

Naruto hadn't wanted to. He had found himself falling harder and harder for Sasuke, knowing he was cheating on Sakura, knowing what he had been doing was wrong. It hadn't felt so bad when he tried to justify the fact that he was trying to stay alive as he had promised Sakura. He had justified things saying he would be the most faithful husband when Sakura returned.

Now...

Now, Naruto didn't know what to do. He had tried denying that he had felt anything for Sasuke for so long, or what he had felt, he had suppressed. The thought of having to leave Sasuke was suffocating him. Naruto closed his eyes, and shook his head. He was being stupid! He wasn't losing Sasuke, not really.

Yet why did it feel as though he would lose him once Sakura returned?

"When...when Sakura comes back-"

"Don't," Sasuke said. Naruto's eyes widened.

"What?"

"Don't. Just don't. I can’t listen to this right now. When she comes back, then we'll talk."

"Sasuke-" Naruto was cut off as Sasuke suddenly grabbed a fistful of Naruto's shirt and pushed him roughly against a wall.

"The past year has been the best year of my life," Sasuke said, letting go of Naruto's shirt. "Just let me pretend as long as I can that I still have you all to myself."

Naruto opened and closed his mouth, but no sound came out. It wouldn't have mattered if he had said anything. Sasuke had moved so quickly to get away from Naruto, clearly not wanting to hear anything. Naruto slid down against the wall, shaking his head, knowing that he wanted to pretend for a little while longer too.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Frustrating.

The past week had been beyond frustrating.

Naruto felt on the jittery perch of madness due to the amount of frustration he felt. Sakura was supposed to have returned over a week ago, yet there was still no sign of her. Waiting for her return was driving him crazy.

The past week Naruto had been on edge. While he had seen Sasuke frequently – as they still had sex every day, it was like neither of them were really there. Naruto knew that both he and Sasuke had pretended that Naruto wasn’t slowly moving his things out of Sasuke’s place, back into his own home. Both of them pretended that there was nothing separating them.

But Naruto felt it. There was a strange desperation in the way that Sasuke made love to him, and Naruto could feel that there was something horribly wrong with Sasuke, as though he carried a heavy weight upon his shoulders. Naruto figured it had to do with Sasuke’s fear of Sakura’s return.

Sasuke avoided talking about Sakura at all costs which made Naruto angry. He wanted to get things worked out before she returned, but Sasuke refused to talk to Naruto about her. Naruto didn’t really have anyone else to talk to since Tsunade was even busier than usual with her Hokage duties. Waiting was not Naruto’s strong point, and without someone to talk to, someone to vent to, he was getting ready to snap.

Naruto finally decided to go to Sasuke in the only way he knew how without speaking, hoping to relieve some of his frustrations. Frustrations at himself for feeling so unsettled at Sakura's pending return. Feeling angry at himself for being so unfaithful to his wife while she was away. And most of all, feeling angry at Sasuke for how unwilling he seemed to be at accepting Sakura’s return.

Naruto clenched and unclenched his hands, the feelings coursing through his body making him swell up with emotions, making him angry, making him just want to hit, to hurt, to fight. Naruto didn't bother to knock as he swung open Sasuke's front door and ran to Sasuke's bedroom.

As soon as Naruto entered Sasuke’s bedroom, Sasuke could tell that Naruto was upset about something.

"Naruto-" Sasuke said, his hand reaching out to calm down Naruto, but Naruto wasn't in a mood to be calmed down through a comforting hand. Naruto swung his fist, nearly clipping Sasuke in the side of his face. Sasuke swung back, and Naruto caught his fist. "What is your problem?" Sasuke demanded angry that Naruto was swinging at him without any reason.

"If you’re not going to talk to me then you ought to shut-up too!" Naruto hissed, and he pushed Sasuke up against the wall, crushing his lips against Sasuke's with enough force that made Sasuke's head bang into the wall. Sasuke's eyes went wide, and his body almost went limp at Naruto's action.

Naruto put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder and shoved him harder into the wall. Sasuke growled, realizing that now was not the time for him to go limp since apparently Naruto didn't want that. Instead, Sasuke took the opportunity to press his lips harder against Naruto's. He gripped onto Naruto's shirt with his left hand and pulled a kunai from his weapon's pouch from another. The kunai came up in a flash, slicing through Naruto's shirt, his black mesh shirt appearing, looking erotic as it clung to Naruto's chest.

Sasuke's hand was a blur as he slashed at Naruto's clothing, leaving the blond in nothing but shreds and tatters.

"Bastard," Naruto hissed as he pulled his lips away from Sasuke before redirecting his mouth. He bit hard into Sasuke's shoulder. Sasuke hissed back at the pain as Naruto began to suck and gently run his tongue over the spot he had bitten. He moved his hands down to Sasuke's waist, fumbling with the rope belt that kept his pants up before untying it, and then shoving Sasuke's pants to the floor. Sasuke moaned as Naruto licked at his neck. He allowed the kunai to clatter from his grasp as his hands came up to grasp into Naruto's blond hair. Sasuke rubbed his cock against Naruto's, closing his eyes as he panted at the feeling. Naruto moaned into Sasuke's shoulder.

"Sasuke," Naruto moaned against Sasuke's shoulder. The sound of Sasuke's name escaping so sensually from Naruto's lips resonated through Sasuke, making the very core of his being quake and his body shiver excitedly. Hearing Naruto speak his name made him fly into a state of euphoria.

Hardly any more words escaped from Naruto's mouth as he began to bite, lick, and suck all over Sasuke's body while raking his nails up and down Sasuke's sides and shoulders.

Naruto was being extremely rough with Sasuke's body, and Sasuke actually hissed at the pain. If it weren't for the fact that Sasuke had waited so long for Naruto to come to him like this, he probably would have demanded Naruto not to bite him so hard or dig his nails into him quite so ferociously.

When Naruto began to grip his cock and pump it hard was the first time that Sasuke had to tell Naruto to stop being so hard.

"Fuck! Not so hard!" Sasuke grunted, slapping away at Naruto's hand.

"Hn," Naruto grunted out, digging his nails harder into Sasuke's body. Sasuke growled and glared down at where Naruto's nails were digging into his sides.

"Naruto-" Sasuke growled shoving Naruto off of him and then pushing him to the floor. Naruto grunted, looking up at Sasuke challengingly. "Get on all fours," Sasuke said huskily. Naruto smirked back at him, getting on his hands on knees in front of Sasuke.

Sasuke growled again, wondering if Naruto knew what he was doing was so fucking hot, wondering if Naruto was purposefully trying to make him go into a frenzied state of lust. With the way that Naruto looked back at him knowingly, Sasuke took that as a yes. Sasuke slid his body on top of Naruto's and bit gently at the back of Naruto's neck. Naruto moaned and arched his back as Sasuke used his legs to nudge Naruto's legs apart, thrusting inside of him as Naruto thrust back.

"Itai!" Naruto cried in pain.

"Shit," Sasuke grunted, stopping his thrust. He'd been way too hard with Naruto and had thrust in at an awkward angle. He pulled out slowly, trying to be gently. He could tell that he had torn Naruto and badly. "Naruto," Sasuke said apologetically.

"Fucking shit," Naruto hissed angrily. "That hurt." Sasuke pulled out of Naruto the rest of the way, feeling frustrated and angry at hurting Naruto like that. Sasuke knew that Naruto liked things rough, but he wasn't used to Naruto being so active in having sex. The last time that they had had rough sex was before Sasuke stopped using his sharingan on Naruto. Since things had been mutual, their love making had been “normal” so to speak. Nothing rough – nothing without preparation. Sasuke hadn't anticipated Naruto to move his body like that since he hadn't had his sharingan activated. He was so used to knowing how Naruto's body would move and adjusting for it by using his sharingan that he hadn't thought of the consequences of what would happen to Naruto if he didn't use his sharingan for rough sex.

"Damn," Sasuke cursed again, watching as a small amount of blood trickled from between Naruto's legs. He knew that Naruto would heal, but to know that he was the cause of it didn't make Sasuke feel any better. Sasuke was half hoping that Naruto would just want to continue, despite it, but he had felt that tear, and he was sure that it wasn't something that Naruto would be able to get pleasure from until it healed.

Naruto rolled onto his side, groaning.

"This sucks," he muttered as he began to pump at his own arousal. "It hurts, but I'm still hard," Naruto complained, pumping himself faster. Sasuke's erection had begun to go down at realizing he wasn't going to be getting any from Naruto, but watching Naruto palm himself made him hard again.

Without saying a word, Sasuke moved so that he was laying 69 style with Naruto. Naruto seemed to realize what Sasuke was doing, and let go of his own arousal as he grasped onto Sasuke's cock and put him in his mouth. Sasuke groaned in utter bliss as he grabbed Naruto's cock and did the same thing.

Sasuke had never experimented thoroughly with Naruto's body, but he was going to start experimenting now when Naruto didn't seem to care, when Naruto wasn't thinking about the fact that Sasuke wasn't the one that he had made wedding vows to. Sasuke tried hard not to think that Naruto might never let him experiment with his body ever again.

Having Naruto's cock in his mouth wasn't quite what Sasuke had expected it to be. Naruto had a distinct texture to his cock, and Sasuke could feel the pulsing of Naruto's blood flowing to his dick as Sasuke moved his head up and down on Naruto. Unsurprisingly, Naruto's penis tasted like sex smelt, and Sasuke found that he liked licking at Naruto's cock.

And Naruto was doing wicked things to his own body in the meantime.

Feeling Naruto's tongue and warm mouth on his body was a lot different than being inside of Naruto's body. He knew which one he preferred, but the novelty of having Naruto pleasuring his body, wanting to pleasure his body, made such an erotic psychological impact on Sasuke that it wasn't long before he was half panting and half choking on Naruto's cock as he came into Naruto's mouth, Naruto following closely behind him, squirting his sperm into Sasuke's mouth.

Sasuke swallowed most of it, but some leaked out of his mouth, and he wiped at his cheek. He could tell that Naruto hadn't gotten hardly any of his, but he could care less. It had felt too good for him to care about such a little detail like that.

Sasuke couldn't help but smirk evilly at he put Naruto's slightly deflated cock back into his mouth and ran his teeth lightly over the head.

"Aa-a-" Naruto moaned and he jerked his body away from Sasuke's mouth. Sasuke chuckled darkly, knowing how sensitive Naruto's body must have been as he teased Naruto's now ticklish cock.

"Jerk," Naruto grunted out. Sasuke smirked, liking the fact that he knew how Naruto's body worked a lot better than Sakura could have since he had the same anatomy as Naruto.

"I love you too," Sasuke said. Naruto sat up from the floor, his eyes flashing at Sasuke's statement.

"I know," Naruto murmured before he made himself comfortable on the bed and prepared to fall alseep. Sasuke sighed, wishing Naruto would just admit that he loved him back. He could feel that Naruto loved him more than Sakura. Why couldn’t Naruto just admit it?

- - - - - - - - - - - -

"Shizune-san!"

Shizune turned as a nurse approached her, looking stricken.

"We have a situation on our hands. Someone found a body of what appears to be a shinobi. We need help in identifying the body. Since you are also a shinobi, perhaps you know the victim. It was hidden extremely well. The villager had several hunting dogs with him, and the dogs kept sniffing at what appeared to be freshly turned earth. The villager got curious at what the dogs were looking for. He allowed the dogs to dig in the dirt, and they unearthed the body. It was clearly a murder."

Picking up her pace, Shizune followed the nurse down the corridor of Konoha hospital quickly. There were no reports of missing shinobi that she was aware of, so to have one come up dead-

Shizune gasped as she saw the face of the unidentified corpse that had been brought into Konoha hospital.

"The villager dug up her body about an hour’s walk outside of Konoha," the nurse said worriedly, looking at Shizune and her horrified expression.

"Leave," Shizune said.

"Shizune-san-"

"Leave!" Shizune bellowed. The woman scampered from the room.

A quick medical examination immediately told Shizune that cause of death. The cause of death also immediately gave away not just how the death had occurred, but also the murderer.

How was she supposed to tell Naruto...? And Tsunade? What was going to happen?

Shizune wiped tears from her eyes, mortified that a person could kill someone so close to them. Shizune felt numb as she did her best to clean Sakura’s body. Her mind thought furiously as she formulated a plan on how to proceed with the explanation of Sakura's death.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Naruto felt lazy as he awoke. He stretched feeling sated, feeling the familiar wave of guilt wash over him even heavier than before. He stared at the ceiling, wishing for the days when the worst he had to worry about feeling guilty over was whether or not he smelled bad for the rest of his team if he forgot to shower.

The weight of the real world was doing a number on his cheerful personality. Naruto looked over on Sasuke's bed, noting that Sasuke wasn't there anymore. Naruto sighed, wishing he could talk with Sasuke. Stretching some more, Naruto got out of bed in the buff and walked from Sasuke's room to his room. Even though more often than not, he and Sasuke shared Sasuke's room, Naruto still had all of his things in another room. Well, he had had most of his things there. Naruto had been moving things back into his own place anticipating Sakura’s return. Naruto was getting dressed when he finally noticed the bird outside.

Caw! Caw! Caw!

"Hm?" Naruto muttered, looking out his window, seeing the summons from the bird informing him that he was wanted at the Hokage's office.

He decided he better see what Tsunade wanted, wondering if she would have any more news as to when Sakura would be coming home. Naruto practically dragged his feet, feeling the guilt bubble up inside him heavier and heavier.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

"Sakura's dead," Tsunade said simply to Naruto upon his arrival to the Hokage office.

Naruto's entire mind went blank. Dead? What did Tsunade mean dead? Sakura couldn't possibly be dead. It just wasn't possible.

"What?" Naruto breathed.

"I'm so sorry Naruto. She's really gone," Tsunade said. Naruto shook his head.

"No, you're wrong! She can't be dead. Not Sakura. You're wrong. You have to be wrong," Naruto said, taking a step back from Tsunade as though she were mentally unstable.

"Naruto-" Tsunade said softly.

"No," Naruto all but whispered, shaking his head back and forth, unwilling to believe. Tsunade reached her hand out to gently grasp Naruto's wrist. Naruto almost pulled his hand away from her, but Tsunade was quick and grasped his hand gently before he had the chance. Tsunade didn't say a word as she led Naruto to an adjacent room attached to her office that Naruto knew she used for medical purposes.

The world seemed to slow as Naruto walked through the door. Everything moved around him in a slow blur as his eyes landed immediately upon a medical table. Sakura laid spread out on the table, as though asleep, her eyes closed, her hands at her sides. Her skin was a waxy pale color, even paler than Sasuke's. Yet it was clear that she couldn't be asleep because her chest did not rise and fall with the slow rhythm of breath. Naruto had to put a hand to his mouth. He could smell the death emanating from her body. The scent of rotting flesh was barely masked by the smell of some sort of cleaning disinfectant.

Naruto's body moved of its own accord as he neared the table, peering down at his wife's body, looking at her with wide, almost unseeing eyes.

Yet he did see. He took in every inch of her body, noting how everything seemed peaceful. Not a scratch marred her, and yet here she was, laid out in death.

"H-how?" Naruto asked, his voice coming out hoarse as tears began to stream down his face, as his chest seemed to contract in a sharp pain. Breathing was becoming so difficult, and he couldn't make out more than that one word.

Tsunade moved towards him gently, and Naruto saw that she too was crying. Tsunade gently reached out to tilt Sakura's head to the side, and Naruto nearly threw up. The way that Sakura had been laid on the table, with her pink hair fanning out at her neck and shoulders had hidden the wound at the base of her head. A hole the size of a standard kunai was the only mar to Sakura's body, a deadly mark.

"Single wound to the head with a kunai," Tsunade supplied. Naruto's mind whirled. Only someone with extreme upper body strength could kill someone with just a single kunai stab to the head. Naruto's mind was going numb, but rage was engulfing his entire body.

"Who?" Naruto demanded.

"It's hard to say for sure, but the evidence does lead to one person..."

"WHO?" Naruto bellowed. Tsunade sighed.

"Sasuke."

Naruto had disappeared in a rage from the room before Tsunade had finished saying his name.
