Naruto P.O.V

Fang came back to the dorm late last night looking like absolute shit. He wasn't drunk, but he was bruised up once again. I tried to ask him what had taken place, but he refused to answer me. He just stared into nothing while I treated his wounds, which I knew were painful.

He only stroked Akamaru and stared while I tried to get something, anything out of him. After I finished, he crawled into his bed and turned his back to me. He didn't even tell me good night like he used to.

What was wrong with him?

He promised to have a heart to heart with me tomorrow, that's actually today, but I don't think he'll even look at me at this point. I felt isolated with the thought of him not talking to me. My chest felt hollow and like I was on the verge of tears.

This wasn't the Fang I was used too. This wasn't the guy that I unknowingly had a crush on. Seeing him like this made me feel broken, I wanted him to be his usual self again.

I wanted him to treat me like the way he did when we almost kissed.

•••

I woke with the knowledge that I had class in exactly five minutes, but I decided not to go. I looked over and saw Fang was gone, but there were noises coming from the bathroom.

I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to make him feel better by making him some breakfast and asking if he wanted to teach me Spanish. That way we could bond with each other. The whole idea got me really excited, but then I heard his phone notification go off.

I looked over at it and back at the bathroom door. I don't know what it was, but something inside me told me to go over there and look at his phone. I was curious to know if it was who I thought it was messaging him, or if it was someone else. Luckily, Akamaru was asleep under his bed.

So, I did. I went over picked up his phone and read the message that displayed on his lock screen, which was an image of the tattoo on his back.

Kankuro ❤️:
Thanks for coming last night baby. Hope I wasn't too rough on you in bed 😈

"Kankuro did that to him!?" I thought.

I felt a tense sensation in my chest. It was like it was going to explode. I placed the phone back down and went over to the kitchen to start breakfast. About half an hour later Fang exited the bathroom naked with a tired and confused expression.

"Good Morning!" I beamed.

"Morning..." He replied while drying his hair. "You're expecting someone?"

"Nobody, but you. Why do you ask?" I replied while looking at him ecstatically.

"Cause you're cooking." He replied. "Also you're looking at me."

"What's wrong with looking at you?" I asked.

"Nothing, get a load off your eyes I guess." He replied sarcastically while walking over to his bed.

"Haha you're so funny." I laughed as he looked at me suspiciously.

"Did you move my phone?" He asked while looking down at it.

"No, it must've been Akamaru. I was over here cooking." I lied while Akamaru stretched his legs as he had just woken up.

"Oh, okay? Well what'd you make?"

"Eggs and Bacon, and I already put out a bowl for Akamaru so he'll be ready to eat just like us."

"Cool. Let me throw some clothes on and I'll join you."

"You can eat naked. If you want too." I suggested.

"Thanks, but I know it makes you uncomfortable so I'll just put some clothes on." He replied. "Are you okay by the way?"

"Yeah, I think so." I replied honestly while looking at him.

"You're acting weird because of last night, aren't you?"

"What is he? A mind reader?" I thought.

"No."

"Don't lie to me." He replied. "I know it was a fucked up situation but I promised you a heart to heart today and I'll give it to you." He reminded. "You don't have classes do you?"

"No." I lied while looking at the time.

"Alright I can tell you over our Spanish study session then."

"Okay."

"Yeah, and next time just ask. You acting like that weirds me out a little."

"Me being nice?"

"You acting nice. I can tell the difference."

"You've been studying me, huh?"

"You're a topic I'd like to take on any day." He stated, which made my face heat up like an oven top as I hid my smile from him. He smirked at me and sat around the table after dressing himself and we began to eat silently, while Akamaru chomped through his food to our amusement.

I liked his laugh. Seeing him happy seemed so rare to me though.

•••

"Okay repeat after me. Estoy llamando a los servicios de emergencia." Kiba instructed as he sat at the foot of my bed.

"EsToY lLaMaNdO a LoS SeRvIcIoS De EmErGeNcIa" I repeated.

"Haha!" He laughed.

"You said you'd stop laughing at me." I pouted.

"I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing at the way you pronounced it." He replied while wiping a tear that came to his eye. "Just calm down and focus on the way you move your tongue."

"I'm just a little tense that's all. It's easier said that done."

"Tense about what it's just you, me and Akamaru, right? Our little family haha." He joked, but that sentence made me smile just a little bit. For a second I even imagined us being a family.

"Here." He said as I felt his hand holding mine. "Look at my lips and follow me, Kit."

I looked at his lips and for a second diverted my eyes before looking back at them. His tongue, teeth and slight bruised lip were perfect. Something I wouldn't expect from someone who drank as much as he did. Though he hasn't been drinking recently.

He repeated the sentence and locked eyes with me before squeezing my hand firmly to ensure I was comfortable enough to say it correctly. I took a deep breath, squeezed his hand back and stared into his eyes.

"Estoy... llamando a los servicios de emergencia." I repeated.

"Muy bien, very good." He replied. "Now what did you just say?"

"I instructed the patient that I am calling the emergency services." I answered.

"Perfecto, perfect."

"I feel like I'm watching Dora." I joked.

"Perra, soy mucho más sexy que Dora." He smirked.

"Did you just say you're sexier than Dora?"

"Ah, you're catching on quickly." He complimented.

"Thank you, and it has been almost two weeks since we began. So of course I'd catch on."

"You don't need to thank me. It's the least I could for you actually doing something around the dorm. Best believe my trash of used condoms would still be here, just like last semester."

"Haha, you're so gross. You just leave a trash can full of your sperm every semester?" I asked.

"Not every semester. I don't generally last very long to the second one." He replied nervously.

"What do you mean?" I asked in confusion.

"Nothing, let's just forget about it." He answered.

There it again, he always brushes things off as nothing when it actually means something that he doesn't want to talk to me about.

"Fang... If you don't want to tell me something then you don't have too. I'll understand."

"Is that the impression that I give you?"

"Kind of."

"Well, that's not the case. Naruto, when we first met I wanted to fuck you, then after getting to know who you used to be, I still wanted to fuck you, but I disliked you and couldn't trust you because of it."

"... There's a point to that sentence, right?"

"Yes, over the course of these few weeks. I've gotten to see the real you a bit. The you that you used to be, I like that, and I'd still fuck you."

"You think I'm like the old me?"

"From what I can remember. Yeah, you definitely are. I'm happy that you've found yourself again."

"I'm happy that you've found comfort in me."

"You shouldn't be happy for me. You should be happy for yourself. That's who's more important."

"Thanks Fang..."

"Yeah, and on that note. I think I owe you a heart to heart." He announced as he got off the bed and stretched his limbs. "I'm listening, any questions you want I got the answers for."

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Go ahead." He smiled.

•••

Fang sat on the edge of my bed while I sat up against my pillows. I rattled my brain with all that I could ask him. I wanted to dive and explore every inch of his mine. I wanted to know who he truly was and why he was like that.

"You mentioned not lasting long to get to the second semester. What did you mean by that?" I asked.

"Sigh, it's pretty simple. I've been held back. Time and time again."

"Held back?"

"Yeah, I've been doing this course since I dropped out of high school."

"I don't understand. Are you telling me that you're on academic probation?"

"Wouldn't be an academic achievement. I've begin my semesters the same way and by the end of the first one. I can't move on to the second semester."

"But why?"

"It's a two year course, Kit. I would've been done by the time you graduated, but as you can see. I'm still here with you."

"Is it because you're not grasping the subject? I can't understand how you got into that situation."

"Haha it's because I don't know what I want in life. I dropped out of high school and my family immediately sent me to college early to pursue a business degree and take over the family's business."

"That sounds like a dream come true."

"Well, it's not my dream." He stated coldly. "I want to travels and experience the world and what else it has to offer. Not live for other people and their expectations."

"Maybe we are alike..." I thought.

"That doesn't mean you can't try, Fang. You don't have to submit to other people and their own expectations of you, but you have to at least try and do something for them. Especially when it comes to family." I replied. "When you dropped out of school they swooped in and got you into an amazing college like this? Don't you think they deserve something from that?"

"Is that what you're doing for you family?" He asked.

"Huh?"

"Acting like stuck up wallflower out of gratitude for your family?"

"No, I'm doing this to be the child they deserve. I wasn't the best child when I was in school, and they could've given up on me, but they didn't. They pulled through and helped me to be the person I am today."

"The person you pretend to be." He pointed out. "You're doing two courses and something tells me that they're not what makes you happy."

"It makes my family and my boyfriend happy. Which in turn, makes me happy."

"But a what cost?"

"This isn't about me."

"You're right! But you're not far off from me." He stated. "We're different sides of the same kunai. But you're the handle and I'm the blade."

"..."

"Are you doing these courses for yourself, or are they for your parents?"

"They're for my parents, but I choose to do it!"

"Then I can't help you with it anymore." He replied as he stood up and looked at me sadly with his hands in his pockets.

"What?!" I asked.

"I'd rather you fail than assist you in making decisions that don't make you truly happy."

"Isn't that for me to decide?" I asked while standing up as well.

"That's the point! It's not your decision." He answered.

"You wouldn't understand, Fang..."

"I understand. It's you and your family that don't understand."

"They just wants what best for me." I argued.

"At what cost?" He asked. "Acting like someone else. Even your so called boyfriend. If he was such a good guy he'd defend you and accept you for who you are."

"Just shut up!" I yelled.

"It's the truth!" He yelled back at me. "You know I don't even regret trying to kiss you yesterday. At least then you'd actually experience something real for someone who puts up with you and your fake bullshit."

"Shut the fuck up!" I yelled as I tackled him. He caught me under his arm, but stumbled back onto the couch. We both ended up flipping over and landing on the floor.

I fell on top of Fang with my ass directly pressed against his shaft. We locked eyes as we breathed breathlessly coming down from the high emotion we were both expression. My hands pressed against his chest as his held my waist.

He had a mixture of lust and concern written all over his face, but all I could focus on was his messy hair and perfectly chapped lips that I felt drawn too. The sudden urge to grind on him was battling against my common sense, and I think it wasn't backing down.

"I'm sorry if I overstepped a line, but I-" He tried.

"Stop talking." I interrupted before lowering my head and locking our lips. The kiss sparked a flame in my chest that burned brighter as it prolonged.

Fang wasted no time in grabbing my waist and caressing my sides to my ass. I moaned by the contact and he took that opportunity to invade my mouth and engage in a heated battled between our tongues.

"Fuck..." He groaned as he pressed his member harder against me and I straddled him without hesitation. I don't know what became of me. I've never experienced a sensation like this before, I've never wanted someone so badly in my life.

Someone to give me a touch that I've been unknowingly craving for. Someone who accepted the bad side of me. Someone who was badder than I could ever imagine to be.

"What would Sasuke think?" I thought as Fang's hands slid underneath my underwear and his warm hand took hold off my naked ass cheek.

Immediately I broke the kiss and looked at Fang in shock. He held me firmly by the waist as I stared at him looking even more attractive with his pouting red lips.

"Naruto?" He asked. Without another thought I sprung to my feet and started sprinting out the door without my shoes.

"NARUTO!" He called out, but I didn't look back. I couldn't look back. This wasn't supposed to happen.

I'm better than this.

I'm better than him.

This wasn't the me I was supposed to be.

"Who was this new me?" I thought as I ran and never looked where I was going or where I was coming from. I just wanted to be alone.

After running away I spent the next five hours pacing around campus about what to do. I left my phone so calling Neji wasn't an option. Though I suggested using the phone on campus.

But I needed to talk to someone personally. So I I went to the only other person I could trust. Especially since I'm the one who kissed their boyfriend.

•••

"And that's what happened." I finished after explaining everything to Kankuro that had happened in the course of the day.

"Wow, that's a lot of pent up emotions you have there." He replied while sipping his coffee. "Don't mind me drinking coffee these hours. It's for my energy."

"Huh? Wait, you're not angry?" I asked.

"Angry about what? You kissing my boyfriend? Of course not. As a matter of fact I completely understand."

"You do?"

"Yes, he's very attractive and even with that Kiba fucks almost everyone."

"We didn't fuck. He just apologized to me and I ran away after kissing him."

"Cut the puppetry!" Kankuro asked with a shocked expression.

"Puppetry?" I asked.

"It's my word replacement for fuckery, but forget that. Did he really apologize to you?"

"Yeah. What's the problem?"

"Nothing. Nothing at all." He replied. "But like I said. I have no problem with it. Although I don't know what your boyfriend would think."

"Sasuke? He'd flip. He'd probably even call off his proposal to me." I revealed accidentally.

"Proposal? Ohh you poor thing." Kankuro hushed. "You've really fallen into a rough patch here."

"I just don't know what to do. This wasn't how things were supposed to go. I've even been skipping school. At this rate I could get academic probation, or even get expelled."

"Expelled, huh?" He replied. "Look Naruto, I think you should take my advice and just drop Kiba completely."

"Drop him? But why? Shouldn't we at least talk about it."

"Talk about?" He gasped. "So he can plot to fuck your brains out sideways? Is that what you want?"

"No."

"Well that's what he wants."

"Huh?"

"He told me. He has a thing for blondes with blue eyes and that makes him go insane. He's so obsessed with them that he'll even go as far as to lie about his past just to get them to sleep with him."

"That's fuckery. Fang isn't like that."

"I bet he walks around naked, treats you to random shit for being good to him and even help you out from time to time. Confiding into his lies must be his new tactic." Kankuro advised.

"..."

"It's not puppetry. He is like that. Trust me, I'm like your best friend and I'd never lie to you."

"I already have a best friend and he's quite fond of Fang. Moreover my boyfriend." I corrected.

"That's not what true friends do. If I were your best friend I'd encourage you to stay away from Kiba, stop listening to that other friend because they obviously don't want what's best for you, and stick around with me."

"I-I don't know."

"That's what your parents would want, right?" He asked. "The perfect child who'll make them proud. The perfect husband for Sasuke..."

"You'd want that, right? Not have it all taken away from you just to keep up with Kiba and his puppetry. He's just playing you for a fool."

"They all are, but not me. I want to see you get exactly, what you deserve." He promised.

I was happy to find a friend like Kankuro in a time like this. He really opened my eyes in a way that I've never looked before. He was a true friend, someone that looked out for others and their well being.

Someone who I could look up too.

"I think... I think I'm ready to stop all this puppetry." I replied with a confident smile. Kankuro looked at me and gave me an even wider smile.

"Sound like the perfect child to me."

•••

Later that night. I cautiously returned to my dorm. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes before turning the knob and opening it to see a sight that honestly could've killed me with how sweet it was.

Fang laid on the floor with Akamaru in front of the door, most like waiting for me to return. I expected him to be out and about his business by this time, but here he was. I remembered Kankuro's words and that when I got the courage to walk past the two them while slamming the door in the process.

"Huh?" He grumbled. "Naruto!"

I continued walking to my bed, pretending as if I didn't hear him.

"I've been looking everywhere for you for the past 10 hours. Where have yo-" He tried, I could hear the relief in his voice.

"Don't start with that. I was about my own business doing my own thing."

"What wrong with you?"

"Nothing. Anymore dumb questions?" I asked.

"Woah! I don't know what's gotten into to you, but you don't have to talk to me like that." He replied, but I pretended as if I didn't hear once I saw my camera on the bed.

"What's my camera doing up here?"

"I put it there because I looked through your suitcase for Neji's number. After that I decided to put your stuff away and then I went into your phone and found his number."

"What!" I asked. "You went through my stuff! And how did you get through my phone! It's locked!"

"I hacked it."

"ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!?"

"I get that it was wrong but-"

"But nothing!" I argued. "You can't just invade into my personal belongings and hack my phone and give me some stupid excus-"

"WHAT THE FUCK ELSE WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO IF YOU JUST UP AND RAN AFTER KISSING ME!?"

"..."

"WE SHARE A MOMENT LIKE THAT AND YOU JUST RUN AWAY AND HIDE FOR OVER TEN HOURS AND EXPECT ME NOT TO TRY AND FIND A WAY TO FIND YOU?" He argued. "IS THAT THE TYPE OF SHIT YOURE USED TOO?"

"Don't raise your voice at me."

"Well don't raise yours at me and act like I'm some delinquent."

"That's exactly what you are though."

"What?"

"You're nothing, but a delinquent! I've been sick of you since the day we met. I should've reported you that night you almost raped me."

"I did what?"

"That night I got the bruise on my back. YOU almost took advantage of me. If I didn't fight back only Kaguya knows what would've happened. You're nothing but a criminal in the making."

"Naruto I'm sorry I didn't kno-"

"NO! Don't try apologizing. This just proves that I was right all along. You're a delinquent! Everything you do is bad. All you do is bad!"

"You don't mean that. You don't know what you're saying." He replied while shaking his head and walking closer to me.

"STAY BACK!" I ordered making him halt his movements.

"I said don't yell at me Kaguya Damn It." He said while gritting his teeth.

"Or what! You'll beat me up? Go ahead! Be the violent brute that you are." I dared.

"This isn't you. You need to just calm down and shut the fuck up. I'm not going to hurt you but-"

"You can't tell me what I am. We're not the same. You may think you have me all figured out, but I know you and your little game."

"Game? Haha Naruto, cut the fuckery." He chuckled lowly. "I don't want you saying anything you'll regret."

"I won't regret a thing."

"You can't promise yourself that, Kit." He replied, walking closer to me.

"I said don't come any closer!" I yelled while out stretching my arm. Akamaru must've thought I was playing as he jumped up and bit my hand. I was so shocked that I reacted without paying attention.

I snatched my hand back, but slapped him across his face. He whimpered on impact and ran behind Fang who kneeled down and comforted him.

Akamaru looked at me sadly, the sight made my heart clenched, but Fang's glare sent a chill down my spine.

"Akamaru, I'm sorry!" I tried, walking up to him.

"STOP!" Fang yelled. I disobeyed and the next thing I knew he grabbed me by my wrist and pinned me against the wall. I could see the tears forming in Fang's eyes as he looked at me with a killer intent.

However, I wasn't afraid, only feeling broken. He scanned my face and his expression began to soften as the tear escaped from his eye and glistened under the reflection of the new moon shining through our window.

Though seeing him like this broke me, I couldn't stop myself from what else was to come.

"I want you out of here. Your nothing but an endangerment to me and everyone else around you." I lied to one of the few people I felt most comfortable around.

"You don't have to tell me twice." He spat as he released me and picked up Akamaru and covered him in his leather jacket.

"Akamaru stays." I demanded.

"Oh cause you're such a great owner?" He answered sarcastically. "I'd rather him be with me, a violent and crazy delinquent. Than someone who doesn't even know the meaning of the truth."

Before I could even interject they were already gone. With the harshest slam of the door. I watched Fang and Akamaru walk out of my life. It was on of those experiences like when I was younger and had to drop my bad company to be the new me.

Now I did again, and I could feel myself changing once more from the experience. I grabbed my Spanish notebook and threw it across the room as it reminded me of the times we spent together. The good and the bad memories, the secrets we shared, and the moment we had.

I curled up in my bed and laid there staring at the empty room that I wanted all along. Here it was, finally mine. But deep inside I felt like I lost something in order to gain it.

Something that I didn't know had an impact on me.

•••

//Time Skip//

Over the next three days I never heard from either Akamaru or Fang. I didn't know where they were, what they were up too, or even if they were okay. But I hope they were, and a small part of me hoped they'd come back.

During this time I spent it all with Kankuro. We were the biggest campus buds at this point. We'd frequently visited each other's dorms and he'd sleep over in mine. I didn't mind the company, but it didn't feel the same. Still, we were two peas in a pod.

"Did you see that girl with the blue hair and piercings?" Kankuro asked while checking himself out in the mirror.

"You mean Konan? Of course how could I miss her." I replied while checking him out.

"I caught her sucking Yahiko's dick behind the statue around midnight." He replied. "They asked me if I wanted to join."

"Cut the puppetry! What did you say?" I asked.

"I joined of course. Got fucked both ways that night I didn't regret it." He answered with a smirk.

"Haha you're such a man whore."

"Haha like you weren't a man whore for Kiba." He laughed and I laughed with him. Though if I'm being honest it kind of hurt hearing his name again. I thought Kankuro would know that, but I knew he was joking so I brushed it off.

"Anyway, I actually have to get back to my dorm. I'll see you tonight." He announced.

"You're gonna sleep over again?" I asked.

"No, you're too grown to be having sleepovers. Tonight I'll be getting a little loving."

"Oh! Konan and Yahiko are coming for round two?" I teased.

"Haha no! But Kiba is."

"Fang is?"

"Yeah, he was practically begging me for it the other day, but I declined because he's literally fucking the place down twice as much now." He explained. "You need me to say hi to him for you?"

"Uh actually-"

"Great! I'll see yah in the evening. I think. Later bro!" He waved while walking out the door.

Hours later I fell asleep and woke up in the evening to the sound of my phone ringing. It was a number that wasn't saved to my phone. Normally I wouldn't answer, but it stopped before I could even decide if I wanted too.

It was around the time for me to get ready for my medical classes, but I've been skipping classes so much that it became a habit for me to just not go now. I didn't mind at all either. It was like I lost my motivation whatever it used to be.

-RING RING RING-

My phone rang once more, but this time it was Neji. I hadn't heard from him in so long that I couldn't help but smile at the familiarity of seeing his name pop up on my phone.

"Hello?" I answered.

"I AM FINALLY DONE WITH MY EXAMS AND YOU HAVE EXPLAINING TO DO. I want all that's been happening with you. Everything. Go!"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'd like to know what I'm talking about too."

"Haha Neji I'm serious."

"I'm talking about your little date with Sasuke."

"Date with Sasuke?"

"Yes! I saw you both three days ago and called you out but you ignored me. Like you're a scroll full of kunais and all that."

"I haven't seen Sasuke in basically two months. Much less been on a date with him. We're both busy with school."

"Huh?" He asked. "But he said it was you."

"What?" I asked.

"When I called to you both and you didn't answer. I ran over there because I'm not gonna see my best bud and not give him a shout out when he's with his man, but when I got close. He said you couldn't talk because you were indecent."

"So? You've seen me naked before."

"Yeah, but then as an alternative Sasuke started talking to me and you know I can't really tolerate him. So I told him to tell you to call me and I left."

"But I was at school all day everyday, all week too." I explained. "Why would he lie?"

"Maybe because it wasn't you. Oh my Kaguya! He's cheating!"

"What?!"

"That's the only explanation I have. He's a lying cheater."

"Neji, let's not jump to conclusions." I replied, but then I remembered something Kiba said. "Hold on. Can I ask you something really quick?"

"Yeah let's pause on that but of course. What's up?"

"Did Fang call you the other day?"

"Oh yeah! He said you were gone and he couldn't find you so I told him to just wait and you'll be back eventually. I was so shocked he even called on your phone though. Does that mean you're both getting along?"

"Hmm..."

"Naruto?"

"Yeah?"

"You two are getting along right?"

"Yeah, we definitely are." I lied.

"Great! I'm glad to see you getting along with someone."

"Yeah... What made you change your mind about him though?"

"What do you mean?"

"You used to be scared of him. So it's kind of weird to me how you two are suddenly friends with each other now."

"Um because he's friends with you."

"Yet, you don't like Sasuke who is my boyfriend?"

"Hold on! Am I missing something here?"

"No. It's just as my best friend I'd expect better from you."

"Excuse me?" He scuffed.

"You heard me."

"But I'll need you to repeat again. Cause I'm going to pretend I didn't here that."

"You can pretend all you want. It doesn't hide the fact that you knew I kissed Fang and he told you his plan about this whole thing and now you're on board with him fucking me because you don't want me with Sasuke. Even created this fucked up lie about him cheating."

"Did-Did you just hear yourself Naruto?" He asked, but I held my ground. "Look... I think you just need to calm down."

"Cut the puppetry."

"The fuck is that!?"

"I'm sick of people telling me what to think or what to do. I'm grown and I can do all those things on my own and if you were truly my best friend. You'd be happy for me."

"People always have to tell you what to do because you don't have the backbone to decide it for yourself. Here I am supporting the fuck out of everything you do and now you're acting like some fucking crazy stranger. Implying that I'm trying to control your life." He argued. "Bullshit!"

"KANKURO WAS RIGHT! You don't want what's best for me."

"OH... Well excuse the fuck out of me. Let me go about my business then and give a fuck about me and my girlfriend. Since my so call best friend went ahead and decided to take advice from someone who is telling him who he should and shouldn't trust. Even though he's implying that he's tired of people controlling him."

"Cut the puppetry."

"No! You fuck off and go do a little soul searching. When you come back with the knowledge of who you are and what you want. Then, we'll talk. Until then I don't know you, cause you're not Naruto Uzumaki." He spat before hanging up in my ear.

I sighed in frustration and tossed my phone to the end of the bed. I remembered how Fang would sit there and come lay next to me whenever I was having an issue, and also how Neji would be the first person I'd call to tell about it.

Who was I going to depend on now?

My crush was now my enemy, my best friend was now a stranger, my child was afraid of me, and my parents don't know this me.

A series of knockes echoed from my door and for a second my heart skipped a beat thinking it would be the man who's always seemed to brighten my day, even with sexual comments. Though upon opening the door I was met with what was my new reality.

"Put this on." Kankuro ordered as he threw a top to me once I opened the door. "I'm taking you to a party tonight."

"What's this for?"

"For you to wear. We're matching. I'm wearing purple and your wearing orange. I'll come get you at 8pm. Look good, byeeee."
