•••
It was the final of their summer vacation here at the beach house and despite the ups and downs everyone tried to be as positive as they could. They started the morning with a nice breakfast prepared by Hinata, Temari, Kauri and Choji.
The latter of which was preparing his infamous barbecue chicken from early with a scent of the sauce and seasonings filling the whole downstairs area and the aroma seeping through to the window of Naruto's room just like Kiba had said it would on their day here.
Menma was propped up in the kitchen next to Hinata as she feed him pieces of meats and veggies while preparing the meal and kissing his nose ever so often which he loved and was all it took for him to forget the Sasuke fiasco, still he knew he didn't get the chance to reason with Naruto but he was busy being pampered at the moment.
Meanwhile as for Naruko she was still secretly on edge about the whole thing. She sat outside on the back patio and sent visual daggers towards her brother for just being so quick to not let things bother him for so long.
She clenched her book and couldn't even focus on reading it as all she could remember were the lewd sounds and mind burning sight of Rock Lee and Sasuke in action. Not only that but figuring that Naruto and Kiba might be a thing as well, and then the idea of Sasuke and Naruto being friends.
Her mind was beyond puzzled and agitated. Mainly because she didn't have proof of the first thought.
"Mind if we sit?" A familiar voice asked as she looked up to see Gaara and TenTen before her.
"Hm, I do mind actually." Naruko replied before blocking them from her sight with her book.
"Tsk, come on Ruko, don't be like that." TenTen pouted.
"Don't give me the puppy eyes, TenTen." Naruko reprimanded. "It won't work this time, cause to think my brother is in distress and my own best friend and boyfriend couldn't even tell me."
"It wasn't our place to say, baby." Gaara defended.
"Hm yeah, because a little pinky promise is the perfect excuse for something like his obvious depression and isolation." Naruko replied sarcastically before rolling her eyes at them.
"..." TenTen and Gaara glanced at each other as they knew she had a point, but still they had to do it for Naruto.
"That's what I thought." Naruko continued as she pointed at both of them and shield her face with her book once more. "You're both still on time out until further notice."
"Yes ma'am." They said in unison before turning around to walk away.
However, due to the sheer amount of information Naruko had on her mind she really did needed an outlet and as much as she was still upset, TenTen was her best friend for a reason.
"Actually, TenTen can I have a second?" Naruko requested which made TenTen smile and happily skipped her way back over to her.
"What about me?" Gaara asked with a pout.
"You're still on time out Gaara." Naruko replied.
"Nothing personal, just girls being girls." TenTen teased before shooing him away playfully.
"Tsk, Shikamaru was right, you are troublesome." Gaara mumbled under his breath and heading back inside.
"Alright, what's your up?" TenTen asked.
"Um, I don't really know how to say it, but it's something that I feel like I should tell you, at least." Naruko began as she tried to figure out how she was going to go about this.
"Me?" TenTen asked in concern. "Is it something bad?"
"I'm not sure." She replied as placed down her book and began to explain it. "Last night when you guys came back from looking for Kiba. Menma, Naruto and I stumbled upon something that I don't think any of you know about, unless this is another secret that you all kept from us."
"I swear, there isn't another secret that we all are keeping from you, Ruko." TenTen smiled, though she was sharing something with her she still was upset about the secret. "What was the secret though?"
Naruko took a short breath and then began to explain what she saw that night in detail. The more information was given was the more TenTen's face grew disgusted and embarrassed, then mortified and confused, until she finally seemed to feel what Naruko could only descibe as concern and enraged.
By the time Naruko had finished explaining the situation, TenTen had already went through all the seven stages of grief and she was fully ready to start plotting Sasuke's assassination.
"TenTen?" Naruko asked as she hadn't spoken the entire time.
"Huh?" TenTen hummed as she pursed her lips and fidgeted her fingers to keep calm.
"Are you okay?"
"No, I'm pissed and trying not to find that guy and kick his ass."
"You didn't know about it, did you?"
"No, I had my suspicions but it most certainly not this, mainly because I figured something was up with Lee especially when he just disappeared and he just told Neji and I, he was fine. Granted, we didn't believe him but it wasn't like we could force anything out of him because we just didn't know." TenTen explained as she was beating herself up mentally over what she just heard.
"..." Naruko remained silent, giving her the time to process it all and wondering to herself if this was going to be her reaction and if this was why they didn't tell her about Naruto.
"What the fuck do you mean they're sleeping together though." TenTen asked in frustration as she still couldn't believe it. "What is Lee thinking with that guy?!"
"You don't think he's into him, do you?"
"Tslk, as if Lee would look in his direction." TenTen replied in disgust while rolling her eyes. "With how much he resents Sasuke, he can't even stay in the same room with him, that and the fact he's with Sakura after what he feels likes was Sasuke's plan to sabotage him."
"I should've known something involved him the moment I saw them together so often. How could I be so blind?" TenTen stressed as she stood to her feet and thought for a milisecond. "Tsk, I have to tell Neji."
"Wait, for what?" Naruko asked as TenTen started moving and she stopped her.
"What do you mean for what? For us to get Lee out of this." TenTen replied. "He's Neji's best friend and I'm sure he has to be in trouble or something to be allowing Sasuke to do this to him."
"But we don't even know what's going on yet." Naruko reasoned.
"..." TenTen was speechless as Naruko had a point.
"We don't know if Lee changed his mind on Sakura and is now into Sasuke. We know Sasuke is awful already but he has that manipulative behavior with him that just makes people that like him blind to his awful ways. Going to Lee now might just draw him away from us, just like it did with Sakura all those times."
"But..." TenTen tried, but she knew she was right. On more than one occasion they had tried to convince Sakura to open her eyes, and that only drew her further away from them.
"You understand that, right?" Naruko asked as she reahed put to her and encouraged TenTen to sit back down.
"Yeah, you're right." She agreed. "He's had Sakura hypnotized this whole time. It just might be the same with Rock Lee, especially if he hasn't said anything to us about it. It's just that, this isn't something that Lee does, his never kept a secret like this from us before and only Kaguya knows how long this has been going on."
"I'm sorry." Naruko apologised as she comforted her. That's when TenTen also started worrying for Naruko as well, not just for her, but for Naruto
"Naruko?" She trialed as she promised to not say anything, but she couldn't sit back and allow Naruto to suffer similarly.
"Yeah?"
"Have you talked to Naruto at all?" TenTen asked. "About his secret, has he told you or Menma anything about it?"
"No, we haven't even gotten the chance to speak to him because of what we saw that night." Naruko replied. "Technically we're still at odds with him for trying to help and that's why I'm fearful that Rock Lee might not be that approachable either because Naruto seems to have a friendship with Sasuke nowadays."
"Naruko, you two need to keep your brother away from that guy, as quickly as possible." TenTen replied as vaguely as she could, she didn't want to outright say that Sasuke and Naruto were a thing, more or less that him and Lee, but that was all she knew and she didn't want her best friend's brother to share the same fate.
"..." Naruko paused as a chill went down her spine.
"Fix whatever it is that has come between the three of you, bury the hatchet and keep him away from him." TenTen advised her.
"Okay..." She replied, not really sure on to say because she couldn't try prying into her as TenTen was already in distressed from hearing about Rock Lee.
"I'll go break the news to Neji, but you need to go to Gaara and talk to him." TenTen encouraged her before standing up, but Naruko stopped her once again. "Let him know what's happening so he can help out too."
"Wait, now I'm a lot more confused than before." Naruko expressed. "TenTen, what's going on exactly that I'm not connecting the pieces too?"
"What's going on is Sasuke is trying to break all of us apart, one by one."
"But why?"
"Because he wants to." TenTen replied plainly before walking away to find Neji and leaving Naruko to her thoughts.
•••
Upstairs Naruto had just woken up to the aroma in the room, his eyes fluttered open as the sun infiltrated the darkness and for whatever reason it seemed a lot brighter than usual.
He didn't know if it was the lack of sunlight he had experienced the few days or if it was the being who was across from him packing his bag as today was their last night.
Waking up to Kiba was a sight he could get used too.
"Good morning." He cooed as a smile spread across his face from seeing the brunette.
Except Kiba wasn't smiling with him, moreover he didn't even choose to acknowledge him, immediately giving him the cold shoulder and bringing Naruto back to the reality that for a moment he had forgotten.
"Sorry, was that too loud?" He asked, trying to play it off, but still no reply.
"How's your head?" Naruto asked, but still no reply. "Isn't the light giving you a migraine?"
"..."
"I can smell Choji's barbecue like you said. Ha, it really does smell delicious." He tried again, but once again, no reply.
Eventually Kiba just cleared his throat and proceeded to walk towards the door. Indicating to Naruto that he wasn't in the talking mood.
"Kiba wait!" He begged, which seemed to work as Kiba stopped by the door. "I'm sorry, okay?"
"..."
"I didn't know what happened between you and Tamaki..." He trailed. "I should've listened to you first, I'm sorry."
"..."
"Can you at least look at me and tell me that you accept my apology or not?"
"If you were truly sorry you would've cut ties with the guy that who tried to do the same to you and even fooled Tamaki into doing it with me, instead of fucking around with him." Kiba spat in a low tone as he glanced at Naruto over his shoulder with a cold stare in his eyes.
"..." Naruto was surprised by his tone, but he understood why he'd respond that way.
Kiba didn't want to hear it and for as long as he was involved with Sasuke, he wanted nothing to do with him and this game that he was using him to play. He didn't want Naruto to care for him if it meant that he wasn't going to care for himself and continue to risk his own safety and the safety of others because of Sasuke.
"If you can't even respect yourself enough to show self concern. I can't expect you to show any concern for me or others." Kiba finished before leaving the room and allowing his words to marinate inside Naruto's mind.
It felt like a million knives piercing his chest as the words repeated over and over again in his head. He expected a different outcome, especially with how he was tallkking to him on the phone, but maybe that was the problem he didn't think that Kiba would've eventually been tired of playing this game that Sasuke had them both in, this tug of war that he dragged him into.
Constantly fighting over him in a way that always made Kiba feel like Sasuke was always Naruto's favourite no matter how he tried.
Yet it wasn't like Kiba didn't know what he was getting into, but he must've thought that maybe, just maybe Naruto would've grown out of it.
"You're wrong. I do care about you." Naruto mumbled to himself, wishing he had said that to Kiba. "I care about all of you, and that's why I'll put an end to Sasuke and his shit once and for all."
Without hesitation he picked up his phone and dialed Sasuke's number.
Sasuke answered rather quickly and greeted the blonde casually as if they were just simply friends. Still, Naruto kept up the act and just asked him where he was and he revealed he was by the docks with Lee having some 'bro time'.
Naruto's heart dropped when he heard Lee's name, but kept his composure and told him that he missed him so much and wanted to see him which Sasuke laughed at but told him to come and meet him then.
So without anyone noticing, Naruto left the house through the front door to give Sasuke a piece of his mind and put a stop to all of this.
He walked all the way to the docks completely barefooted and with a burning rage in his core. Scanning the area and looking for either Lee or Sasuke until he spotted the latter by the bathroom waving towards him with a smile on his face.
Naruto rushed over and bawled his fist, he was ready to just give it to him and settle all this, but Sasuke seemed to be ahead of and had other ideas.
Sasuke grabbed Naruto's wrist once he was near and pulled him into a hug, completely stunning the blonde. He stood there in his arms with a blank mind and it was like his body had gone paralyzed, his touch, his smell and the heat radiating off his body just made him reset, but he had to fight the urge.
"Let's not make a scene, shall we?" He whispered against Naruto's ear as the blonde tried to break free forcefully. "It wouldn't be good for Hinata and Neji."
Sasuke broke the hug and looked Naruto in eyes, seeing the slight resentment he had for him, which Sasuke was amused by before he guided him into the bathroom.
Sasuke then pinned him against the wall and traced his finger across his jaw, licking his own lips as he stared at the blonde before him, whose eyes dazzled from anticipation and anger.
"Are you that excited for me?" Sasuke asked giving him a knowing look as he pressed his knee further into Naruto's growing member and locked the bathroom door. "Or do you have a thing people you can' stand."
Naruto still didn't know how to react, it was like he was just allowing all of this to happen and deep down he really didn't mind it.
The feeling of Sasuke's breath hitching against lips, so close yet they were so far from connecting to his, the knot in his stomach from having his body pressed between him and a hard place. Sasuke was so good at making him forget why he even came here in the first place.
With his lips only inches away from his, Naruto felt himself starting to lean forward for a kiss.
However, seeing Rock Lee over his shoulders in the background on his knees, soaked in sweat and a white liquid dripping from his chin, out of jealous Naruto regained his thoughts.
"Get the fuck off me!" Naruto barked as he shoved the ravenette back. "Lee? What the fuck is going on?!"
"Ha, it took you that long to realize your dilemma?" Sasuke smirked as he walked over to Lee and ruffled his hair. "You really are some kind of himbo."
"..." Naruto stared as he didn't know the meaning of that word.
"Well, in the ass at least." Sasuke continued. "A real idiot in the works. So desperate to have me up your ass that it just makes you even dumber and more oblivious to things around you."
"You better-"
"Better what? Watch my mouth?" Sasuke asked in amusement. "Ha, or what are you gonna do, stare deeply into my eyes and fantasize about fucking me?"
"..." Naruto didn't respond.
"I'm quivering in my sneakers." Sasuke teased.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Doing what? You have to be specific, idiot." He taunted the blonde as he looked down at Rock Lee jokingly.
"You know exactly what I mean." Naruto replied. "From day one, why are you doing all of this?"
"Hm, you hear that Lee? I think he wants a motive." Sasuke teased as he flicked Rock Lee's chin playfully though the latter pulled away from his grasp.
"This isn't fucking funny." Naruto spat.
"It's quite hilarious actually, it's just the fact that the joke is on you." He replied with mischievous grin as he pointed at him and stood infront of rock Lee.
"Were you really this type of person?" Naruto asked.
"What did you expect me to be? Prince Charming?" Sasuke teased.
"..."
"You knew the type of person I was and yet you allowed your heart to give an excuse for all of that. I could do no wrong in your eyes, remember?" Sasuke taunted. "It was all laid out in front of you, I cheated on Sakura, I almost ot to fuck you five times a week if Kiba hadn't gotten involved and everyone in the group pretty much hates me."
"..." Naruto pursed his lips as Sasuke was right. It was all there for him to see but he chose to ignore the red flags.
"What couldn't you have possibly sum up from that, hm?"
"Why Kiba?" Nartuto finally asked.
"Why should you know?"
"That doesn't answer my question!" Naruto retorted, barely being able to handle the emotions that brewed within him as they were different to each other.
He didn't know if he should be anger, sad or fearful for his safety as Sasuke's truths came at him all at once.
"Oh, a feisty one. Didn't know you had it in you." Sasuke teased as he laughed to himself. "But if you must know, I have nothing against Kiba. I just wanted you to myself and he got in the way of that. Quite honestly, I didn't have to do a thing to him cause you were the one that did all that for me."
"..."
"Kiba isn't easy to perplex, as unbelievable as it may seem. But he can be agitated if it involves someone he cares about." Sasuke explained. "That's where you came in. You two made a connection and he started liking dick and that's when you just started to slip from my fingers, so I had to get my plan back in track."
"What plan?"
"Divide and conquer, of course." He revealed. "I just had you do all the work, seeing as your emotionally retarded, fearful of your sexuality and more capable of affecting the group than anyone else."
"So you wanted to break the group apart?" Naruto asked
"Obviously." Sasuke rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Are you even listening."
"..."
"Now you're fighting with Kiba, your dense siblings are slowly figuring your a faggot and they'll get upset with the others for not telling them about it which will cause a conflict among all of you and just like that, one by on they all fall down." Sasuke explained as he saw the effect of him talking about Naruto's sexuality. "Still not so confident about liking guys who aren't me, huh?"
"You're fucking sick and pathetic, and the fact that you even said all this to me makes you the jackass cause I'll just go and tell everyone." Naruto retorted, thinking he had one up him, but he then he didn't know Sasuke that well at all.
"Hm, you think that's how it works? You think that it'll make Kiba leap back into your arms and fuck you senselessly?" Sasuke asked as he approached the blonde and with every step forward Naruto's heart raced as he wanted to run but couldn't.
Without even the slightest signal Sasuke slapped him across the face almost knocking him out as he then gripped the back of his neck like he was some kind of animal. Dragging him to the mirror and forcing him to stare at his reflection.
"Sasuke no!" Lee tried to help as he leaped off his knees and landed on his feet.
"Did I say you could move?" Sasuke hissed, causing him to go back into kneeling position.
"Lee...d-don't listen to him!"Naruto begged as he tried fight him back but he was too scared to fully commit.
"Shut up!" Sasuke ordered before laughing to himself. "Look at you, begging for help and then saying I'm pathetic."
Naruto gritted his teeth, not wanting to give Sasuke the satisfaction of overpowering him. But he was in a very vulnerable position, bent over the sink with Sasuke fingers digging into his neck while seeing the fear in his eyes and the blunt superiority in Sasuke's reflection in the mirror.
This was what he wanted all along, to be in control, not just of the situation, but of the people involved too.
"A faggot like you, ha." Sasuke continued as he looked at Naruto with nothing but lust and power in his eyes. "To truly think that any other guy could possibly risk everything just to fuck you. If it wasn't for your ass to be honest, you probably wouldn't even be worth to look at."
"You have no personality."
"No life."
"No brain."
"Hardly any friends."
"Yet, you think you're worth being loved by another man."
Sasuke continued to tear Naruto down, he wanted him weak to him. He pressed his face further into the mirror while bracing his groin against Naruto's ass and thrusting forcefully to slam his head into the mirror even further.
"You wish this was romantic, don't you?" He smirked as he used his other hand to undo Naruto's pants and pull at the back of his waistband. "Lee, have you ever seen Naruto's ass?"
"Stop it!" Naruto pleaded as he tried to fight him off but to no avail.
"That's not how you ask politely." Sasuke taunted as he yanked down his pants and underwear and the cold bathroom air sent a shiver up his spine. "Don't look away Lee, you'll enjoy this. I can bet him and his siblings enjoyed watching us."
"Stop it! Please!" Naruto begged as he heard Sasuke zipper.
"Sasuke, please stop!" Rock Lee also begged, not wanting to see the blonde being hurt anymore.
"Hm, look at you begging for him. You're such a little hypocrite after what he's been doing to the love of your life with me behind closed doors." He chuckled as he looked at Rock Lee with a knowing look.
"It's your lucky day, Naruto. Lee begged for you, again, so you're good for now." Sasuke smiled as he released him and backed away.
"..." Naruto was scared beyond reasons. He didn't know what would happen or how Kiba would feel if he found out he was back in a position like that again.
"What's the matter?" Sasuke asked him in amusement. "Down in the dumps again? Did you really want me to fuck you here?"
"No! That's not it." Naruto said feeling utterly shamed and weak. "I want you to leave Kiba alone, please."
"Pfft, what's this now? You're still on him?"
"Please, he doesn't deserve to suffer because of me." Naruto begged as tears began to flood his eyes and he felt overwhelmed at the thought of Kiba hurting anymore because of him.
"Ha, fine. I'll leave him be, but only if you do the same." Sasuke ordered him. "I don't want you rekindling a romance with him, got it? Or else you're in trouble and so is he because I'll just email his Dad all those photos of you two fucking around in school and him giving me an average blowjob."
"Photos?" Naruto questioned as he realized something. "So that flash of light in the shower room? It was you?"
"No, I can't take credit for that." Sasuke smiled as he stepped aside and looked at Rock Lee who averted his his eyes, feeling embarrassed. "Rock Lee was the real genius behind that. All it took was a little bit of an agreement and I was set."
"You're bluffing, you wouldn't do that to him."
"Wanna bet? If that's a risk you're willing to take." Sasuke teased as he looked down at him. "You can be the reason he gets shipped of to military school and more importantly never gets to see his friends again for a every long time. Ha, he might even get the best beating of his life after his Dad finds out he's a faggot."
"..."
"So? What do you say?" Sasuke asked. "It's your choice."
Naruto knew this wasn't going to be a good idea but he was at his all time lowest point. He wanted Kiba out of this, he wanted peace for him and for him to have a chance to be happy, and if that meant he had to take on Sasuke's offer then he was willing to do it for him.
He saved him once, he wanted to return the favor.
"I accept." Naruto promised. "I won't get back together with Kiba or tell or anyone about this."
"Good, at least you have some sense in that head of yours. But now as you both know I make deals but with a price. Lee already tired me out but I think I still have the stamina for both of you at once." Sasuke smirked as he indicated for Naruto to go kneel beside Rock Lee.
He knew he had too, just like Lee not doing what he said would've called the deal off and ruin Kiba's life and he didn't want to be responsible for his hurt and pain anymore.
"Now this is a comprise I can get used too." Sasuke smiled as he looked at both Rock Lee and Naruto with lust in his eyes and he pulled his zipper a released his member before them and pulling out his phone. "Both of you take your time with it, I wanna enjoy this."
•••
Back at this house things were getting a lot more serious as TenTen told Neji about what Naruko and the others saw. Immediately he assembled the others after bombarding in everyone's room to find Sasuke and have the privilege of tossing his ass out, but of course he wasn't here and neither was Lee and then they noticed Naruto was also gone.
"Fuck! This is getting out of hand!" Neji spat as he slammed his hands on the table.
Everyone had gathered around downstairs in the kitchen with the exception of Sakura who was still sleeping in and they thought it was better she wasn't involved.
They didn't speak too much about Naruto but rather kept the conversation on Rock Lee and Sasuke even though Naruko had an idea of Naruto and Kiba but not in regards to Sasuke.
Though with how quiet Kiba was during the whole thing, it kind of threw her off.
"Neji, calm down I'm sure there's a reason to all of this." Hinata tried as her cousin paced back and forth fuming.
"Rock Lee sleeping with Sasuke? The reasoning behind it is definitely not something I want to hear about." Ino replied with disgust.
"So what if it's just Lee liking the guy?" Temari asked.
"Lee, isn't into guys." Shino pointed out.
"Maybe not into any of you, but what if Sasuke is his type?"
They all looked at Temari as if she grew another head and after thinking about it she realized they were completely valid to do so.
"You're right, that guy isn't even a type to ever consider."
"Regardless of that, he would've come to us and said something, literally anything. Lee isn't the type to keep this kind of thing a secret." Neji argued.
"Unless someone else told him too." TenTen realized.
"What?"
"TenTen could be onto something. Lee can't keep a secret to save his life but if someone begged him too then it's instantly like a sworn oath to him and since he isn't even remotely into guys, let alone Sasuke, there could be another explanation." Sai figured.
"An explanation like what?" Kauri asked.
"I don't know, like a bribe or something? I don't know how Sasuke thinks."
"A bribe?" Kiba muttered as he remembered the time he made a deal with Sasuke.
The others looked at him in confusion as he got up from downstairs and ran back upstairs to his room only to find it empty.
"Fuck!" He yelled before running back downstairs.
"Where's Naruto?!"
"What?" Naruko asked with immediate concern written all over her face.
"He's not up there?" Menma asked as he rose up from his seat as well.
"Obviously not! I left him up there and now he's gone."
"Kiba, what's the matter?" Hinata asked, seeing the frustration in his eyes.
"I think Sasuke made a deal with Lee, I don't know what about it or I don't really give a fuck. But if you three saw them together then it's more than likely something Naruto is gonna confront Sasuke about which is a stupid fucking idea, but he doesn't think when it comes to that guy." He spat as he began looking for his shoes and noticed Naruto's were still here.
"What the fuck do you mean he doesn't think when it comes to that guy?! Just what is happening that none of you are telling us?!" Menma began to argue despite Hinata trying to calm him down.
He ignored her though and went straight for Kiba, pulling him by the arm to interrogate him but Kiba yanked himself out of his grasp and shoved him back causing Menma to throw a blow towards him.
"Menma!" Naruko yelled as she dragged him back.
"What is it Naruko?! I'm so fucking tired of being in the dark about this now! WHAT THE FUCK IS IT ABOUT MY BROTHER THAT YOU GUYS ARENT TELLING US!" He yelled.
"Hinata?!"
"..."
"TenTen?!"
"..."
"Gaara!?"
"..."
"Even you too Kankuro?!"
"..."
They all remained silent not wanting to be the one to spill the secret even at a time like this. They knew with how everything had escalated the secret wasn't the cause of it, it was a simply secret to a much greater issue.
"The secret doesn't fucking matter..." Kiba muttered as he fixed his jaw.
"What the fuck is that suppose to mean?!" Menma argued.
"Exactly what I fucking said, it doesn't matter and fails in comparison to the situation we're in right now about where the fuck our friends are and what Sasuke is doing to Lee and your brother!"
"..."
"I'll accept your attack because I failed you for not looking out for him as best as I could, but just like everyone else here I still have his best interest at heart." Kiba continued as he looked to the ground as his eyes began to water. "But standing here and turning against each other isn't going to cut shit, we have to find them."
"You better find them, and you all better hope to Kaguya that he's okay. Because if that snobby bastard makes one hair omy brother's head move, this group can count me the fuck out." Menma spat before walking off and only stopping momentarily to look at Hinata who couldn't even look him in the eyes.
"Naruko, are you coming?" He asked.
"Yeah..." She agreed before looking to all of them and slowly walking off with a heavy heart in her chest.
"We'll find them ourselves, the rest of you continue to play secret society." Menma finished as they exited the room.
It wasn't easy to for Naruko to make her destination, but it was easy to work with what she knew. Right now she didn't know what the secret was but all she knew was that it was the beginning of whatever mess this was and something she just couldn't believe that they'd still keep from her.
"Kiba, are you okay?" Hinata asked while Shino tried to comfort Kankuro who was visibly upset from not being able to tell Menma anything.
"No, I'm not..." Kiba trailed as he looked for the others. "But standing here isn't going to change that, so if anyone wants to come along, I'll be by the docks."
The others decided to follow him with Neji moving out first along with TenTen and Kankuro. As the last person left the house it was revealed that Menma and Naruko were still in hearing distance and remained quiet while listening in, hoping to hear something they've been longing for.
"Should we go?" Naruko asked as she was visibly disappointed.
"Yeah, let's go through the back and walk along from the beach side."
"Wait, Menma? Do you think that maybe Kiba and Naruto are actually-"
"It doesn't matter Naruko. Right now all I care about is Lee and our brother being okay. If he's hurt I'll never be able to forgive any of them for allowing all this to happen without telling us."
"..."
"It must've been what Sasuke was hinting at the tryouts, even that bastard was involved."
"But, how would he know so much about it? I doubt Sakura would tell him anything, especially as I doubt she knows about Sasuke and Lee."
"She could've told him about Naruto and Kiba though."
"Enough for him to make that much of a deal about it?" She asked.
"What are you getting at?"
"It's just all really strange how he's involved with Naruto so suddenly. When has Sasuke even spoken to him for them to be friendly with each other, especially with how we talk about him, he's a walking red flag."
"Wouldn't you say Kiba is too? But you think that there's something between them."
"Kiba has his ways, but he's mostly just mischievous but he did start off as a bully in Naruto's eyes and they became friends because of it, maybe even something more than that. What if, it's the same thing with Sasuke."
"Huh?"
"What if Sasuke secretly likes Naruto too? Just like how much he likes Rock Lee?! What if he wants to fuck our brother as well?!" She realized louder than she wanted to say.
Menma was beyond confused as to where his sister's mind was heading too and before he could even come up with a response he looked behind her and his eyes widened in shock.
"Shit."
"Shit? That's all you can say?" Naruko replied following his eyes and glancing behind her as well only to realize it was Sakura standing there overhearing their whole conversation and looking both confused and irritated at the two.
"Sakura? We didn't see you there..."
"You two heading to the docks, right?" She asked in a stern tone as they nodded in response.
"Count me in."
•••
Sasuke had just finished using both Naruto and Lee to his advantage and the three exited the bathroom together after they washed the residue from their faces and hair. Luckily for Naruto he didn't have to have sex with Sasuke nor did the latter force him into it as he had already filled his satisfaction with Rock Lee.
Both the boys were soaking wet from Sasuke basically showering them with the tap water. He couldn't believe this was what Lee had been enduring all this time.
He felt like he shouldn't even be sorry for him as he was helping to sabotage him, but he couldn't blame him fully.
"If anyones asks, you both went swimming in your clothes. Shouldn't be hard to believe as you're both erratic fools."
"Yes Sasuke." Lee replied, but Naruto kept quiet.
"You heard me right, Naruto?" He smirked but still the blonde couldn't even face him, he was drenched, hurt and also pissed. Not a single bone in his body could stand this guy anymore, all the infatuation within him finally subsided as his true colors that he ignored before finally started to blind him.
Sasuke stopped them both and towered over Naruto while gripping his chin, forcing him to look at him to the surprise of Rock Lee.
"You weren't so quiet with my cock in your mouth so you better speak up if you don't want Kiba sending his friends postcards from miles away."
"..."
"You got that?!"
"Yes, Sasuke." He replied through gritted teeth.
"Good, and when you get back put some ointment on that bruise on your cheek, you bruise too easily for a knucklehead." Sasuke spat while chuckling to himself but not for long as he collided into someone.
"Oi, watch it." He threatened until he realized it was Neji. "Oh, hey Neji, didn't see you there bud-"
"Cut the bullshit." Neji spat. "Naruko and Menma told us what they saw, we know you're up to something."
"Hm, well it took you long even to figure it out Rapunzel. You'd think being the top of your class at your shitty school would've heighten your senses."
"What if I heightened you with an asskicking? Would that suffice?"
"Depends if you can get off the floor, asshole." Sasuke taunted and he poked Neji's chest, causing the latter to almost grab him if it wasn't for TenTen stepping in and pulling him back.
"Neji stop it. Rock Lee, come on, we need to go, right now." She urged while glaring at Sasuke as the others came and surrounded them.
"..." Lee didn't answer and remained quiet as he looked at them with sad eyes that both TenTen and Neji hadn't realized he had been hiding this entire time, they noticed he had those same eyes after his jogs, they realize now that it wasn't from exhaustion.
"Lee?!"
"He can't come to you now, bitch." Sasuke teased, his smile only angering the group as Naruto and Lee stayed still behind him.
"What did you call her?!" Neji threatened once more but TenTen again stopped him with the help of Shino and Kankuro holding him back.
"Oi, this isn't a hostage situation. Just grab them and let's kick this asshole out of the house." Temari argued which the others agreed with.
"You think that'll stop them from coming back to me?" Sasuke countered. "Every words of advice you've given them is absolutely nothing in comparison to what I can do."
"You're a sick fuck that should be in prison, that's what you can do." Ino shot back.
"A sick fuck that you fell for that only went for sloppy seconds when you couldn't have me."
"I know you aren't calling me sloppy seconds when you can't even compare to me." Sai spoke up.
"You're just my replacement in the group of hypocrites, that's all. Really though, it's no hard feelings cause you're doing me a huge favor by keeping them occupied with you and your girlfriend's freaky fantasies."
"Maybe you should stop talking before things get ugly, Sasuke." Choji said, trying to reason with him.
"Maybe you should stop eating fattso before you get even uglier. How about taking that advice?"
"Chill out dude, you're only trying to get a rise out of us and it's not going to work. Shikamaru warned him.
"It'll only end up with you getting your ass handed to you by the same group of hypocrites." Gaara added.
"Hm, what are you two again? I completely forgot you could even speak? Legion of brothers, right?" He asked as he looked to Naruto who tried to keep his calm in front of everyone.
"It's funny to me how you all were so naive and in capable of keeping these two out of my reach and yet you call yourselves friends, it's pathetic. From what I see you can't even tell the main persons, imagine how Naruto's siblings will feel to know that their own best friends and lovers can't look them in the eye and tell them how much of a fucked up situation he's gotten himself in."
"Gaara and TenTen? Does Naruko know?"
"..."
"Kankuro and Hinata? Does Menma know?"
"..."
"What about Sakura? Everyone's second favorite little flower to protect apart from Hinata, fucking a guy that's fucking three other people out of her own friend group."
"Neji, you missed out on taking Rock Lee for a spin, his whole never gets tired."
"As for Naruto, Kiba doesn't even know what he's missing out on, and just like now still doesn't have a fucking clue."
"Why don't you say that to my fucking face?" A voice from behind him stated as he turned around to see none other than the piercing brown eyes that would kill him with just one stare if it were possible.
"Hm, I think you'd rather I say it with my cock, seeing as you too are familiar with it." Sasuke taunted causing Kiba to grit his teeth.
Kiba took a glance at Naruto and noticed the redness on his cheek before darting his back to the ravenette who had a smug grin on his face.
"What's the matter?"
"Naruto, what happened to your cheek?" He asked as his leg started fidgeting and his blood started to boil and despite anything or anyone if it was caused by Sasuke he wasn't going to hesitate on killing him.
"It's-" Naruto tried, but was silenced by Sasuke.
"Now Naruto, don't be so absentminded and forget you're not supposed to be speaking. Kiba wouldn't understand what happens when a bad dog just gets too excited and has to be put down. Seeing as he's such a bad dog and has been walking around freely without a care in the world."
"..."
"Why don't you cut your loses and leave him alone, he clearly isn't interested in you. Why put him through the suffering when you know that your parents won't accept both of you being faggots, especially your father."
"Hm, you fucking bitch."
"At least I'm fucking someone who isn't your bitch anymore."
For Naruto it was like everything just flashed before his eyes in that instant. He watched as Kiba made his stance to run towards Sasuke, preparing himself to stop him from getting himself in trouble, but before he knew it he felt the wind brushing past him in another direction as he turned around to see Menma already dragging Sasuke on the ground and Naruko trying to pull him off.
The commotion caused the other visitors and even some of the locals to stop and stare at the teens creating a scene.
Kankuro jumped in and started helping Menma beat Sasuke as he had momentarily taken the advantage over Menma and kicked Naruko to the side only for her to be caught by Gaara and TenTen. Rock Lee rushed over to help him but was quickly apprehended by Neji who he then began to tussle with as well.
Sasuke kicked Menma in the crotch and punched Kankuro across the face, temporarily stunning them as he grabbed Neji's leg and flung him down face first onto the boardwalk with Rock Lee under him.
Hinata came forward with the other girls as Temari and Kauri started stomping on him while Hinata pinched him and pulled his skin to great and exaggerated lengths. She was quickly slapped by Sasuke who then used all his strength to shove both Kauri and Temari away who hadn't realized he was that strong before turning his attention back to Neji who was bleeding from the mouth.
Choji and Shikamaru jumped in to restrain both Sasuke and Rock Lee with the help of Gaara and Sai as Lee was practically breaking down and shaking violently for them to all stop and just drop it. In that time Sasuke prepared to take the opportunity to run and he didn't waste it, despite being beaten up he moved as quickly as he could and only stopped as a sharp pain hit him in his stomach.
"KIBA NO!" Hinata yelled.
By the time Sasuke was able to see what was happening he was already tackled by Kiba and both were now falling over the railing and into the depths of the water.
Sasuke landed with a hard splash but Kiba's arm collided with a rock underneath causing him scream from the pain but still latch onto Sasuke in rage under the water. He refused to let go of him, he couldn't do it after all the pain he went through because of him.
Sasuke thrashed around underneath violently trying to free himself and swim up. He kicked and punched Kiba but still he held onto him as they both were rapidly losing the strength to hold their breaths so Sasuke did the only thing he could think of.
He lowered himself and wrapped his fingers around Kiba's neck, squeezing him with every strength he had and with the other hand being wounded he didn't have it to protect himself. But he kept holding onto him and refusing to let go. He saw the visions of his mother, sister and Akamaru smiling, he saw his friends having fun last summer, he saw the Uzumaki's being impressed by him and Naruto smiling so gently at him that it made him feel so warm inside.
He couldn't believe that all that warmth was being taken away by this guy who was choking him out without hesitation.
Then finally, all he saw was Sasuke swimming away as darkness began to surround him and his eyes no longer had the strength to stay open.
From the top everyone leaned over the railings to and have yet to see either boy emerge. In the distance however they saw Sasuke swimming tirelessly towards the shore with Sakura and Rock Lee running over there to him.
The others tested their eyes open searching for Kiba but still no signs of him.
"HE'S STILL IN THE WATER!" Lee yelled to them.
As if on cue and without hesitation all the other jumped over the railing and into the depths as well, they all searched and emerged to the surface to communicate with each other about, panicking and crying when they didn't see him.
Until...
"I see him! He's right under me!" Naruko informed them as her, Shikamaru and Neji dived under to retrieve him and bring him back up to the surface where they all held onto him and swam back to the shore.
Sakura and Lee met them half way and helped them lay Kiba on the beach.
"He isn't breathing!" Hinata cried.
"Move!" Gaara instructed her as he placed his ear on his chest and his eyes widened. "Sakura, help me!"
"Right! We need to perform CPR. Press your hands against his chest and start pumping and blow." She ordered immediately trying to compose herself though her eyes were red and puffy.
Naruto sat and watched breathlessly as they performed CPR on him and for a while it didn't seem to work and in that time he just laid there so lifeless and he didn't know how to feel because he felt like he was to blame for this outcome. Seeing them all supporting each other as they cried watching and hoping that Kiba woke up, and yet their was nobody comforting him, telling him that it will be okay.
Because he blamed himself for all of this.
They carried Kiba to the hospital after they managed to get the water from his lungs. That night Choji didn't get to share his barbecue, nobody ate and nobody really spoke to anyone now that everything was just now out in the air.
Naruko and Menma sat by themselves as they still felt hurt by their best friends and own lovers not telling them anything about their own family member and what he had been going through all this time.
Sasuke sat with Rock Lee and Sakura outside, she was cuddled up in his arms meanwhile he had his fingers secretly interlocked with Lee's. He didn't care if Kiba had woken up or not, he knew what he did in order to get away but he knew nothing would come from it so he wasn't worried.
Choji and Kauri laid in another room. Same with Sai and Ino who were on the phone with TenTen listening in on what was happening.
Temari stayed to herself with Kankuro just outside the door of the room she was in comforting her without making her feel as if she was weak. She wanted Shikamaru and her brothers to stop entertaining Naruto but they refused and as such she didn't want them around her right now.
Finally Shikamaru, Gaara and Naruto sat in their room watching as Naruto sobbed away in Kiba's bed feeling the overwhelming flow of guilt, pain and regret for all the events leading up to now. They sat on the ground behind him and tried their best to comfort him but it was to no avail as he just continued letting it all out which Gaara agreed that he should do for now as a lot took place.
However, despite what he did they wanted him to know that they still have his back even if they couldn't get him to avoid Sasuke or tell them the reason why he couldn't, but he just made it simple that it wasn't out of love for him.
Naruto felt like he had a debt to pay for the heartbreak he's given him and for the promises he couldn't keep. He never asked him if he wanted this but he felt like it just wasn't on the table for him to ask, he just felt it was Kiba deserved, peace.
Later in the evening Ino informed the others they were all okay and that Neji just got some stitches for his lip and Kiba fractured his arm and was going to stay for a while at the hospital and that others were on their way back because word had gotten out about the fight and what took place so they all have to leave now.
However, Neji will be back to drive some of them home, which really bummed everyone out as they we're hoping for Choji's barbecue to save the day, but it was just honestly wishful thinking. Still Kauri helped him finish it and by the time Neji and the others got back he was already done and got to share it with them and some for Kiba and Hinata who stayed with him at the hospital.
Menma was upset that she didn't even come back to say goodbye to him and Naruko still didn't seem too keen on speaking to Gaara though she allowed him to hug her for comfort.
They all packed their bags and gathered downstairs to say their goodbyes before heading out.
"Cheer up, okay?" Ino smiled as she brushed her thumb across Naruko's cheek. "Don't let it get you down too much."
"It's easier for you to say." She replied before turning her head.
"Don't blame Gaara or TenTen for this. It was all our doing, we just didn't want to lose Naruto's trust."
"That's my brother we're talking about. Someone who if anything happened too it would affect me and my family alot more than you guys. I understand keeping a secret but that one measly secret almost costed Kiba his life and gave him a fractured arm." She explained as she tried to compose herself, she didn't want to cry anymore.
"..."
"Right now, I just want to left alone if that's alright with you and the others."
Ino understood her pain and decided not to bother her again and just walked off to her car as Naruko continued to wait for Neji. Menma and Naruto overheard their conversation and remained quiet as they didn't have much they wanted to say.
Mainly Menma, was just enraged by everything and didn't want to lose control, as for Naruto the only thing he felt was utter guilt and shame for allowing all of this to happen. The siblings all could somewhat see and feel what the other was experiencing and that just made it worse even when they couldn't talk about it with each other.
"Alright, is everyone ready to go?" Neji asked, but seeing the mood in the room he decided not to ask further. "Come on."
He allowed everyone to leave and then closed the door behind him. Hinata would be at the hospital with Kiba until closing and by that time he would back.
"Don't forget to call her." Neji said as Menma passed by who only sucked his teeth as a response before brushing past him.
Naruko rushed inside Neji's car with TenTen already in the passenger seat and she wasted no time in turning all her attention into a book and ignoring the worrying look on TenTen's face.
Menma entered the car shortly after her, cutting in front of Gaara taking his seat next to Naruko.
Temari blew her horn and signaled for him to ride with them as it wasn't the right time. So he went over to their car with Kankuro, Choji and Kauri already inside.
"Where's Shikamaru?" Gaara asked.
"Just put on your seatbelt." Temari replied in low voice as she bit her nail and watch what the others planned to do.
Shikamaru took a deep breath and walked over to Ino's car along with Sai and Shino who patted his shoulder.
"Tsk, this is just immature." Neji hissed under his breath as he saw Naruto behind him standing defenselessly and at mercy for all the judgement to be past onto him. "Come on Naruto. It's probably best you come with us."
However as Neji stepped away in the distance another care pulled up, honking its horn and stopping right in front of the blonde just as Neji was on the other side.
"That piece of shit." Temari cursed under breath but it didn't go unnoticed by the others in the car with her.
"Please don't tell him he's gonna do what I think he is." Ino hoped as she watched them interact from her rear view mirror.
"Going somewhere?" Sasuke asked as he smiled at Naruto with Lee in the passenger seat and Sakura around the back.
Lee kept his gaze forward as Neji and TenTen and watched him in disbelief. It took ever strength in Neji not to yank him out of the car seat and continue what he started, beating some sense into him because he just couldn't understand what it was that had made him change so much.
Naruko had to hold on to Menma's hand as she felt him shaking from anger next to her. His blood boiled at the mere sight of those two.
"Home." Naruto replied with a straight face.
"Looks like the others full." Sasuke smiled as he looked around at the other cars. "Ride with us."
Naruto knew that wasn't a request that he could deny, but rather it was an order and he knew what would happen if he tried to go against it. Yet as much as he wished things didn't come to this, he knew he had to do what he felt was right, even it meant hurting him more in the process.
"Naruto..." Neji tried, but the decision was already made.
"Ha, it's alright Neji. I'll see you in a bit. Everyone else is packed so I'll just go with these guys." He replied with a forced smile that almost made him cry as he realized he hadn't smiled for a while.
So with a heavy heart he threw his bags in the trundle of Sasuke's car and without another word they drove off, leaving the others in the dust.
Naruto turned around only to see them standing there as his brother and sister rushed out the car and Menma tried his best to catch up, even throwing his shoe before tumbling over and hitting the ground as Naruko and Gaara tried to calm him down.
"That was a summer of confession I don't think any of us will ever forget." Sasuke smiled as he blasted music from the stereo and glanced at the faces of those he had complete and utter control over.
This summer a lot was revealed, relationships were challenged and destroyed, some differed, some felt betrayed and some managed to stay by a single thread. The confessions lead to a much bigger outcome than what Naruto had previously thought it would.
Nonetheless, he learned his lesson. Starting now on, he'll never make another confession.
