After their talk Menma felt like he had to be the one to go and apologize for the things he said earlier to Naruto, though he was lying he knew within himself that it he went overboard, and he now has a better perspective of things thanks to Gaara.
He was just about to knock on the door to Naruto's room after he had been standing there and debating on whether he should just do it or not.
But Naruko exited another room and caught him by surprise. They both looked at each other for a moment while pursing their lips awkwardly as she made her way over to him.
"Hey..." She trailed.
"Hey..." Menma replied after her.
The awkward silence built up again and as such they didn't exactly know how to go about this. Naruko would normally go first, but the mere fact Menma was in front of Naruto's room meant that he must've wanted to say something to him and she was curious what he had to say.
Old habits never die you could say.
"So-" They said in unison.
"You go first." Naruko suggested.
"No, you really should." Menma insisted. "I'm not too good with words."
"Yet you aced your poetry class." She replied.
"Who told you about that? It was Gaara, wasn't it?" Menma asked as his cheeks became flushed from embarrassment. "Tsk, that's the last time I allow that guy to talk to me."
Naruko chuckled and then shortly after Menma followed. He was happy to see her smiling again, but she was happy that her brother was still hard on the outside but a softie on the inside.
"It was actually Hinata." She assured him. "Gaara doesn't even go to your school to know that, but I'll keep that secret among the four of us."
"Four?" He questioned. Who's the fourth?"
"Naruto."
"Tsk, should've figured as much." He pouted playfully.
"Hm, were you about to go talk to him?" She asked as her smile faded and she look at him with an apologetic expression.
"Yeah, I wanted to talk to both of you actually." Menma admitted.
"..."
"I wanted to apologize, for how I acted. I didn't meant to come off like that." He apologized, though Naruko was expecting a few more words but then she remembered her brother really isn't the best with words, verbally that is.
"I get it, your feelings were hurt so you retaliated." She replied, readily to forgive him.
"I never said anything about feelings, but if you say so." Menma replied trying to play it off like that wasn't exactly what it was just because he wasn't a fan of feelings and affection.
"Hm, alright macho man, your feelings weren't involved." She chuckled. "But either way, I completely get it now.
"..."
"It wasn't completely your fault either." She continued. We were all to blame, things just got out of hand really quickly and it didn't have to if I wasn't so inquisitive, you weren't so quick to anger and Naruto wasn't so..."
"Scared?" Menma asked seeing as she couldn't find the words.
"Yeah, I guess that's the right worried for it." Naruko smiled softly while looking off to the side at the door before them and fighting her urge to know what was wrong with her brother.
"Maybe if we talk to him now we could get some answers this time." Menma suggested as he looked in the same direction.
"No, we can't." She advised him. "If he doesn't want to talk then we should've force him, that was my first mistake."
"But we can't just watch him suffer silently, Naruko." He replied. "He's not just scared, but he's even depressed and hostile."
"We're not watching suffer, we'll still be supportive."
"Supportive?" Menma asked with a confused expression. "Supportive of what exactly?"
"I didn't want to say it, but there might be a bigger picture to Naruto and Kiba than what we know." She explained while still not being sure of it but she was almost sure that Kiba had to involved somehow.
"Eh? Kiba?" Menma asked as he was curious to know as he also had his hunch. "What's up with them?"
"You really don't see it?"
"See what?"
"Hm, of course you wouldn't. You're just the same with Kankuro so it's goes right over your head, ha idiot." She chuckled before ruffling his hair. "Still it's just a hunch though but those cards are still on the table."
"Cards? What are you talking about?" Menma questioned once again because he wasn't getting it and he most certainly wasn't thinking Kiba to begin with so he wanted to know.
"Tsk, you really need to stop smoking. It's not making you any smarter." She teased."
"Consider it done." Menma informed her. "I'm not inhaling anymore substances for that asshole to accuse me of sharing my precious substance with him again."
"Sasuke, right? That was really weird, and the fact he'd tell Naruto that too."
"I don't get why he's even talking to him." Menma replied as he was disgusted by even the thought of Sasuke being under the same roof with them. "That guy is trouble and has been since day one, if it wasn't for Sakura I would've knocked all his teeth out by now, but if he fucks with my brother I'm gonna anymore I'll do it."
"Can you keep your voice down before someone hears you. Remember not even has left to go find Kiba." She advised him.
"Speaking of which? Any word on him?" He asked.
"No, I haven't checked yet because I was talking to Hinata for a bit before she left."
"Hinata? Crap, I've been so caught up with you two I completely ignored her feelings."
"What do you mean by 'you two'? What did I do?"
"What haven't you done, Miss Inquisitive?"
"More than you, Mister Poetic Justice."
"Oi, don't say it out loud-" Menma tried to say which enlightened Naruko to see him so embarrassed by his talent.
But Menma was cut off because a muffled noise echoed throughout the halls. Both their ears perked up as they recognized that sound all to well, immediately Menma was very intrigued while Naruko was visibly disgusted.
"Is that what I think it is?" Naruko asked in a low tone.
"Pleasure I'm not experiencing? Yes." Menma replied playfully while looking in the direction the noise.
"Who could that be though? They know that it's against the rules to be doing that."
"I don't know, Ino is downstairs, Naruto is in his room and it's not us." Naruko replied before Menma looked at her with a blank stare. "What are looking at me for?"
"Where did Hinata go after you two talked?"
"I don't know." Naruko replied. "I waited a bit before leaving, but it can't-."
"Same thing I did when Gaara spoke to me." Menma replied without waiting for her to finish as her expression became blank as well.
The two looked at each other for a moment as they realized the only other people here were Gaara and Hinata causing their eyes to widen at the possibility as they rushed over to the bathroom door.
The moans were very clear but it still sounded muffled even behind the door.
Naruko raised her fist to pound on the door, but Menma stopped her quickly.
"What are you-" She began but he gestured for her to be quiet by placing his finger over his own lips, which surprised her.
As if Hinata was really in there doing that the door would've been kicked down by now by him.
"Let's not give away our positions." Menma replied as she looked at him as if he was crazy.
Menma got down on one knee and pressed his ear against the door but he couldn't figure it out by sound alone. He then positioned his eye right by the keyhole but just barely could see anything apart from one person bending over the sink while the other was thrusting into them from behind.
"That's definitely not Hinata's thighs." Menma chuckled to himself as he thought they were way to lean and muscular.
"You're kidding me right now?" Naruko sighed.
"No, she actually has a mole near the-"
"Menma..." Naruko seethed warning him not to continue.
"Ha, I'm sorry. But it isn't them, whoever it is though is really throwing it back on that dick though."
"How would you know what Gaara looks like naked?" She asked.
"I don't but I don't think he has the experience to be fucking anybody that good."
"..."
"What?"
"Can you please stand up and stop acting like a pervert."
"You're listening though."
"Like I have a choice." She replied. "The least they could do is keep it down, what if Neji finds out?"
"Tsk, let's just go."
"Wait." Menma paused stopping her in her tracks.
"What?" Naruko groaned, just wanting to get out of there already.
"The door is unlocked."
"Menma no-" Naruko tried, but it was already too late.
Menma turned the knob quietly and slightly pushed the door forward while Naruko covered her mouth at the fact he actually did that.
It was wide enough for his eyes to get a proper glimpse of their faces without them noticing that the door was now ajar and the noise were more prevalent in the hallway. Immediately the look of shock was painted on Menma's face as he took in what he was looking at.
Completely rewiring his brain on anything he suspected about Naruto that involved Sasuke.
"No fucking way." He spat as his curiosity only ignited his anger.
"What?" Naruko asked but he didn't answer. "Menma, what is it?"
Naruko then rolled her eyes out of nervousness and cautiously leaned over Menma's head and peeped over before swiftly covering her eyes and backing away then covering her mouth from the shock and disbelief that she just witnessed it as well.
"Menma, that wasn't who I think it was, was it?" Naruko whispered as she couldn't believe it even after just seeing it.
"..." Menma still remained silent as he pulled his phone from his pocket and aimed it at them with gritted teeth.
"Menma?" Naruko questioned but he didn't care what she thought because at this time he was going to make sure those who didn't get to see it for themselves will see the photos and believe it.
"It is, and this time I'll make sure to have proof of this asshole."

Some time later Naruto had woken up from stirring around in bed as guilt kept eating away at him.
He glanced over at the other beds and noticed they were all empty.
"They're still not back yet." He mumbled.
He thought that sleeping would've helped calmed his nerves but it was only temporary because when he woke up it was only back to the harsh reality. He did miss Kiba and wished he was okay, but he also felt like he was truly the worst thing to ever happen to him.
He remembered how he used to call him a bane to his existence, but now a bitter taste was left in his mouth seeing as how the tables have turned and how Kiba should be the one considering him to be the bane to his existence.
Naruto got up from bed and sluggishly made his way over to the door.
He was tired of the self pity but it wasn't like he could do anything to prevent it anymore, he just accepted things as they are now.
On his way to the bathroom he heard a voice calling to him from another room, but he thought it was just his mind playing tricks on him. Once he reached the bathroom and touched the knob, before he could push forward, he froze at the sound of another voice, not calling his name this time.
"Ah Sasuke, please..." A familiar voice moaned before him.
What he saw he couldn't even react to as before his mouth could voice a word, two pairs of hands grabbed his mouth and the other grabbed his body, pulling him back across the hallway and into the room across from the bathroom.
He was surprised to see it was Naruko and Menma but nothing could've really prepared him to witness Sasuke once again balls deep into someone, that wasn't him.
"Naruto! Didn't you hear us calling you?" Menma scolded.
"Huh?" Naruto managed to say, still lost in his own head and trying to process everything.
"Tsk, Menma he's still in shock." Naruko replied as she sat in front of the door with her arms folded.
The two had been staying in the room listening and waiting for either them to stop or for the others to get back and needless to say neither didn't seem to be happening fast enough.
"Shit, I'm shocked too. He's been at this for Kaguya knows how long now, these sports guys really have some type of stamina." Menma sighed as he contemplated on taking sports seriously once school reopens.
Naruto just stood there, dead in tracks. He didn't know what to say or how to say it, his mind repeated the scene over and over again and yet it was like he couldn't believe it actually happened.
"Rock Lee and Sasuke..." He mumbled as his siblings looked at him.
"Naruto?" Naruko asked, seeing the mixture of emotions on his face.
"You okay, bro?" Menma asked, realizing it as well.
"I'm fine." He lied, but also not really.
Naruto didn't know how to feel.
The guy he loved was currently deep inside one of his friends and he just felt, empty. It wasn't even like when it was with Sakura because at least then he would've been expecting it, but to see it's with Rock Lee of all people.
Not even when he found out about Kiba and Tamaki did he feel like this. He felt like he should've been breaking down in tears right now or at least throwing a fit, something that was emotionally strong that he couldn't even bare to contain to himself, yet he was as calm as can be.
It was like it didn't even phase him.
"I just can't believe it. I thought Rock Lee hated Sasuke." Naruko tariled as she sat on the ground in disbelief. "I mean yeah, they eventually got to a tolerating level, but to this extent is WAY too much."
"Don't sweat it too much you two. When I show this video to Sakura he won't be a problem to us anymore." Menma assured them, which was finally when Naruto snapped out of his trance.
"What? Sakura? You can't do that."
"Why not?" Menma asked as he faced him and looked at him in confusion alongside Naruko.
Naruto didn't want to ruin things for himself, but he just couldn't think straight either. It was like all his mind could penetrate on was starting a new path with Sasuke without all drama and the only way that was achievable was if Sakura didn't know a thing.
He hasn't seen the ravenette in a while and he knows he already slept with her right after failing to sleep with him so he was aware that he had no intention of leaving her.
Naruto accepted that though as he thought it was a struggle he just had to face in order to have him and finally just have his own little fairytale.
"Because..." He trailed, trying to think of a plausible explanation as to why they shouldn't without giving too much away. "You've all tried to convince her before and it didn't work. If you do it this time then there's the risk she'll still pay no attention to it and possibly hate Rock Lee in the process."
"What?" Menma asked in irritation as that didn't make a lick of sense to him.
"Think about it? What's the probability she'll believe it, you know how manipulative Sasuke can be." He added, ironically speaking words that he himself wasn't paying attention to. "Doing something like that might not even work well in Rock Lee's conquest for her heart."
"He does have a point." Naruko agreed as she knew Sakura and how far her delusions will take her.
"What are you two on right now?" Menma questioned in frustration. "Right now Lee's propped up and wide open while Sasuke pounds his ass. Does that seem like a conquest for Sakura's love?"
"Menma, also has a point." Naruko agreed as that wasn't normally Lee's behavior nor lifestyle based on what she knows about him from Neji and TenTen who have known him in forever. "It shouldn't matter what his intentions are because right now he's sleeping with the guy that's with the girl he likes and that is messed up."
"It's fucked up, that's what it is." Menma spat.
Naruto was running out of options with these two as there wasn't a way to convince them from not showing Sakura the video. He could always say he'll talk to Lee about it to get a clearer picture but that would only go well with Naruko because what was unfolding, was the clear picture, and Menma wasn't going to hear anything else.
Sasuke was and forever will be unfaithful. Which gave him an idea that he sadly had to use to his favor.
"You can't do that right now. It's too much happening, a lot of tension in the air and...and...and with Kiba still missing it would be the wrong time to bring up more bad news." Naruto explained in hopes that it would be enough to convince them.
He never got to know though as a car's honk alerted them that the others were back and immediately footsteps could be heard from the other side of the door as it sounded like Lee and Sasuke sprinted off.
Which then granted the siblings the chance to leave but all three seemed to be a bit lost in thought.
Naruko, felt sympathy for both her brothers as Menma wanted to just get Sasuke out of their hair, now more than ever since he created tension among the family and him being in Naruto's company only made her worry more for him, especially as it seemed like Naruto was trying to protect Sasuke.
Menma, felt confused but also irritated as he felt like Naruto was covering for Sasuke rather than trying to protect Lee's "conquest of love" but he knew how manipulative Sasuke was and a part of him just felt like it was working on his brother. Now more than ever though it also was slowly revealing more and more about what he thought about Naruto and Sasuke.
Naruto, on the other hand felt like things were getting worse before they got good. He was hoping Kiba would be back, but he knew the tension would be even higher in the house. He hoped for Sakura and Lee to find each other eventually so that Sasuke could be with him and nobody else had to bare the ways of someone with a noncommittal heart.
"Oi guys! They're all back!" Ino called from the living room, urging the others to come join them and that's when they emerged from upstairs to the everyone sitting down in the living room quietly.
Unfortunately, nobody was able to find Kiba so they returned empty handed. They tried everything from searching around to calling his phone and even asking locals if they saw him, but he didn't answer, not even Hinata's calls though she still tried to put on a brave face and everyone kept their spirits high.
With exception of Naruto who was more guilty with each passing second. Especially from seeing Sakura cling to Sasuke while Lee comforted both Neji and TenTen.
Everyone still agreed to try and search again in the morning and if they still didn't find him then there was no other option but for them to get the police involved which was a route nobody wanted to take as it meant a bigger problem than they could handle, but it was for the sake of their friend.
They all said their goodnight and parted to their rooms but while Shino and Lee slept from being exhausted.
Naruto could've find the strength to do so anymore.
He was beyond resting and he no longer wanted to hope things just worked themselves out, he wanted solutions. He went downstairs and into the kitchen with his phone, pacing back and forth and wondering if this was the right move, but it was now or never.
He found his contact and smiled seeing the name.
Toothie.
He pressed call and placed the phone against his ear while he waited. He didn't expect him to answer as the others had failed, but even if he could just hear his voicemail would calm his nerves just a bit.
It didn't even get the chance to reach his voicemail though, not even finishing the first ring properly.
"Kit." Kiba greeted through the phone.
"..." He froze, not finding the right words to say or even if what he was hearing was actually true.
"I've been...waiting for you to call me." Kiba confessed but his words sounded off. "I promised you I'd stop drinking, but you made me upset, I'm sorry for breaking another promise to you."
"Ha, I'm so fucking drunk." He laughed as Naruto listened to the sound of his voice.
"Just like that night...I'm sorry I allowed it to happen, I had no control over it." He continued as his voice trembled and the laughter disappeared into sniffles and groans.
"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry that I couldn't have kept myself safe for you, Kit." Kiba cried without a warning, sending chills down Naruto's spine. "I love you so much, that you don't even understand how...how much it pains me to know you're in his arms now, the arms that did the same thing to you as Tamaki did to me..."
"I should hate you, but I can't!"
"I should fucking kill him but I know you love him more than me, more than yourself...otherwise you'd realize how much a mistake that guy is... how much better you can do...better than him...and better than me..."
"Just not him..." Kiba continued, his voice cracking as the intense emotions spiraled within him. "Ha, look at how messed up I am because of you...if my father saw this I'd be pulled from school and in the army now...fighting just like I am now...but how can I save my home if I can't even save your heart..."
Naruto's face was drenched in tears that have been stored for days and had finally been able to be set free by the voice that he's so desperately wanted to hear from without realizing it. The person who more than anyone would've gotten through to him and the one who truly worked his way in his heart.
"Ki...ba." Naruto stuttered as he found it hard to speak, hard to breath and hard to listen to Kiba pour himself into him.
"Did I make you cry, again?" Kiba asked in between breaths. "I'm sorry...but we cry together, together we croud...croud? Is that the word?"
"..." Naruto didn't reply, but only kept listening to him, granting him the thing he deprived of him the last time they spoke.
"I wish I could wipe your tears and kiss your nose...just your voice would soothe me to sleep on this park bench..." Kiba continued as he stroked the wooden bench under him. "It's not comfortable like sleeping next to you though."
"Kiba, come home." Naruto pleaded through gritted teeth so that the others wouldn't hear his crying.
"I would if I could walk. Tell the others to come get me, at the park with the big old fork tree that I pissed on a few times, ha ha." Kiba chuckled lightly, but his smile faded once all he could hear was Naruto sniffling through the phone.
"Kit...I miss you."
"I miss you too, Toothie."
