The Sun rose and with it was the start of a new day, a new day of continuation or a new day of new things, some whether good or bad.

Today was a day for change, one that maybe some people thought was too soon, some thought it was the wrong decision and others thought that it was the right thing to do.

Tamaki was one of the latter.

Everyone except Naruto and Sasuke gathered outside as Tamaki was ready to take her leave early. The secret of what she did wasn't kept any longer, especially as she was the one who confessed to them and voluntarily decided to leave as she felt like she had broken her friend's trust and their respect.

Also, Neji added it to the list of rules.

She hugged them all and apologized to them, with the exception of Sakura, Menma and Naruko who were under the impression that she just had to leave because of family matters that needed her immediate attention as getting into with them would've been far too complicated.

Yet, despite what happened they held no grudge against her, especially thanks to Hinata for standing there with her and Rock Lee for siding with her when she needed him.

Choji whipped up a small amount of his famous barbecue wings for her and with a grateful smile she was all set, but not before saying a few words to the one she hurt the most.

"I never got the chance to apologize to you properly." Tamaki said as she approached Kiba.

"There's no need too, we were both apart of the game and we played right into it." He replied.

"I was apart of the game, but you weren't. You were the competitor, so you better not lose to that asshole."

"I've already-"

"No, you haven't." She replied before he could finish his statement. "He won the battle, but you're gonna fuck him up in the war, got that?"

"Hm, thanks. I'm sorry for how I acted yesterday Tamaki."

"Hm, Hinata talked to you?"

"She pinched my arm so much I don't know how I managed to sleep on it. She's still scolding me as we speak."

"Ha, it's fine though. I now understand why, and despite everything it was fun seeing that overly protective side of you come out again like when we were younger."

"Ha, right."

"So don't give up, okay?" She encouraged before hugging him. "Also, make sure you call me, very often too."

"Kiba should get all hugs. Group hug!" Ino beamed as she gathered everyone around Tamaki and had them all hug each other.

"You're all so fucking sweaty!" Temari argued causing the others to laugh even though she was genuinely serious. "You have five seconds to stop!"

"Girl, just shut up and enjoy it." Kauri smiled.

"FIVE!" She yelled but couldn't move as she was trapped in between Choji and Kauri who pretended not to hear her.

"KAURI!?"

"We'll miss you Tamaki!" They all said in unison in between their shared laughter of Temari struggling to break free.

Meanwhile upstairs in the house, Naruto laid in bed and quietly shook his leg all he could think about was just how badly everything had gone and it wasn't even like he tried to not make it happen this way. He turned his head and looked over at Kiba's bed and all that he could think of was how he just turned his back to him in defeat last night.

Even if he didn't know he was with Sasuke, it was clear to him that he knew something because his behavior last night proved it.

It was like all hope was shattered in the brunette, and Naruto felt like he caused it.

"Morning Sunshine." Sasuke smiled as he boldly opened the door and entered the room, shocking the blonde immediately.

"D...Di"

"Di? Di? Di? What's the matter all of a sudden you can't speak?" He asked as he sat next to him on the bed, causing Naruto spring upwards into a standing position.

"..."

"..."

The two stared at each other both in the midst of confusion.

"Is this some kind of game you like to play?" He smirked as he leaned back on the bed.

"A game?" Naruto asked in confusion. "What? No, it's just I...I never expected...How did you even...Why are you here?"

"I'm not understanding."

"Here. In this room. Right now. With me."

"Because I wanted to see my baby." He answered simply.

"Shhh!"

"Ha, I'm getting mixed signals here." Sasuke smiled as he crossed his arms over his chest, still resting in the blonde's bed comfortably.

"No, you can't lay in here!" Naruto panicked as he grabbed him by the arm and tugged him up. "If Kiba sees you here-"

"So what if he does?!" Sasuke argued as he pulled his hand away. "It's about you and me now, and you know I'm not afraid of showing you off."

"Tsk Sasuke, listen, please?"

"Fine, I'm listening."

"Last night, I didn't get to tell Kiba of what happened, to be honest him and I haven't even gotten the chance to talk about anything. I shouldn't have rushed what we had going on last night because now I'm all shaken up about confessing that to him and then the others almost catching us, Kaguya knows what they know already-"

"Naruto, calm down."

"How can I be calm right now?"

"Because I have the latter part it all under control, it was Rock Lee who talked and I already talked to him about it and now we're back on the same page, he just got all overwhelmed so I calmed his nerves, and you need to do the same." He advised him.

"It's easier said than done."

"It really isn't, you want me and I want you, Kiba can't fit in that. Even if he thinks he's in love with you the chances of you two being together after his family finds out will be close to none, especially if his Dad hears about it. You'd better prep yourself for a depressing long distance relationship and with how things went with Tamaki, only Kaguya knows what'll happen again."

"But you said that it would be him and Tamaki together. That way Rock Lee gets Sakura and then you and I can be together."

"Yeah, I did. But now it seems that the two of them had other plans."

"..."

"You'd only be doing him a favor now honestly. He's gotten the taste of a new addiction and he likes it, but unfortunately for him, you were mine before you even knew it cause I loved you more. There are other men out there for him to think he's in love with, but there's only one of you, and I don't plan on sharing."

"..."

"Why have him suffer when you can set him free?" He clarified as he kissed Naruto's temple and smiled for them. "Why have us suffer when you can just have me and everyone can have their happily ever after?"

"This isn't some kind of fairytale, Sasuke."

"Then why does being with you like this feel so magical?" He smiled as he pecked the blonde's lips again, earning a soft smile from the latter and making his heart ache from his words.

"You surely have a different way with words." Naruto smiled as he cocked his head to the side and looked up at Sasuke with heart eyes.

"There are a lot of things I have ways with, just stick around and I'll show them to you."

"Is that so?"

"Care for another preview?"

"Hm, if you-"

Suddenly the sound of the door opening startled the blonde but Sasuke only smiled as he slowly turned around to see that it was none other than who he wanted it to be.

Kiba entered the room with eyes that held no emotion seeing the two of them together, with Sasuke's hands cupping Naruto's face, it didn't leave much for his imagination and yet that didn't stop him from assuming even the worse of possibilities and with what he's seen already, you couldn't blame him.

"I'll see you around, you got this alright." Sasuke smiled as he patted Naruto's shoulder for reassurance and turned to leave.

Kiba intimidatingly moved out of Sasuke's way while Naruto felt like he wanted to curl up in his pocket and leave with the ravenette because if looks could kill, this whole area would be destroyed under Kiba's gaze and what his eyes didn't kill, he definitely would've used his bare hands to finish off.

"Kiba..." Sasuke smiled as he passed him, but received no word or even a slight acknowledgment from the brunette. "Hm, I guess that threat about me coming near him again was all bark and no bite."

Once Sasuke left the room, that left the pair alone and silence flooded the room once more between them.

Naruto hated this. It reminded him of when they just started to know each other, always fighting because of something Kiba did or said, but this time it wasn't like he had the proper footing to start an argument, especially after that scene.

"Are you okay?" Kiba asked, the same question he asked the night before.

"What?"

"Are you okay?" He replied.

"You've asked me that already."

"Yet I'm asking you again." He replied in a stern tone. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

"That's good." He smiled lightly before sitting on his side of the bed. "Tamaki just left and she wanted me to just apologize to you on her behalf for being so clingy and for taking advantage of-"

"I don't wanna hear that."

"..."

"I told you how I felt about that and you still didn't take my words with caution, so what happened had all right to happen because you didn't listen to me."

"Are you serious?"

"Does it look like I'm joking?"

"Hm, alright. I deserved it for not listening to you." Kiba replied as he rubbed his thighs to calm himself down. "Got it."

"..." Naruto didn't know what came over him, but he was just so upset all of a sudden. He didn't wanna hear about Kiba cheating on him with his childhood friend.

It reminded him of when he pretended to be with Kankuro just to draw something out of Naruto and the thought of that just made him even more upset so much so that he didn't even remember he wasn't the only victim here.

"So, I want to apologize for myself then-"

"Kiba, I'm serious. Just stop talking."

"Stop talking? So I'm not allowed to talk anymore?"

"Clearly, it does you better when we just sit still and be quiet."

"Really? And who the fuck do you think is gonna be cool with that?"

"Tsk, I don't have time for this." Naruto sighed as he made his way to the door, but Kiba wasn't done talking. As matter of fact he hadn't even begun what he wanted to say.

Kiba stood up and blocked the door the second Naruto's hand touched the knob.

"Move." Naruto warned as Kiba looked at him in anger and confusion.

"What the fuck is that on your neck?" Kiba asked, his anger rising every second he continued to try and make an effort.

Naruto rubbed his finger over his neck and flinched when he felt the sensitive area. It didn't take a genius for him to know what it and when Sasuke might've left it there.

"Kiba, I said move!"

"For what?!"

"Because I said-"

"So you can go and run into his arms?!"

"..."

"So you can collect another love bite?! So he can kiss you?! Hold you?! Lie to your face and take advantage of you again?!"

"Would you stop mentioning that! For fuck sakes, you make it sound like you were the one he attacked. I WAS THE ONE HE DID TO!"

"..."

"You don't hear me talking about every fucking second! Why can't you just let it go?!"

"Let it go?! LET IT GO!" Kiba snapped, finally hearing enough of what he had to say. "Kit, are you fucking stupid?! This isn't some simply mistake that he made and you all damn person should know that!"

"But-"

"BUT NOTHING!"

"That asshole! Has he really gotten to you that much that you've completely disregarded your own fucking common sense and self respect?! Before this whole damn trip you had managed to see right through him!"

"HOW THE FUCK!? Do you go from that and suddenly leap into his arms and forgive him and then have the nerve to say I'm making a big deal out of it and it wasn't even me! IT DIDNT NEED TO ME! It could've been anyone and I still would've defended them just like I did for you!"

"If you wanted to defend me then you would've stayed out of Tamaki's way when I told you about her!"

"What?!"

"You think I don't know?! Sasuke showed me the photo of you two on Instagram and you wanna judge me because I have one hickey! Well at least I didn't fuck anyone and pretend like I didn't only to come and crawl back in bed with you!"

"What? You don't even know, do you..."

"I know everything! I know you wanted to rekindle your relationship with Tamaki and when that didn't work you probably would've just added another guy to your roster because you had gotten a taste of it feels like to be gay AND LOVED IT."

"Ha, are you listening to yourself right now? Has Sasuke dickmatized you this much that you're acting like you've figured everything out. That you confidently stand in here knowing that you're once again fucking around with Sakura's boyfriend?!"

"..."

"You didn't learn from the last time?!"

"It's over between them! Sasuke says he loves me, and a lot more than you do. He's willing to leave her for us to be together and even for her to be able to find love on her own and for you to benefit from too."

"What about me?"

"Didn't you just hear-"

"No! Not what HE said!" Kiba clarified. "What about when I said I LOVE you and you loved me..."

"..."

"Am I just to take that as lie?!"

"..."

"ANSWER ME!"

"It...It wouldn't have worked out between us. Let's just admit it, I deserve someone who can love me the way I love them and you deserve someone that you should be able to introduce to your father without the fear of being a disappointment."

"My father? What are you talki-"

"I deserve someone I can be public with."

"You're the one that wanted to be private! Kit, you're not making any fucking sense now!"

"Yet you still went ahead and cheated on me with Tamaki, and if everyone had known we were together, just think about how stupid I'd look now."

"..."

"Is that how you show someone you love them?"

"Ha, cheated..." Kiba chuckled as his eyes started to water and his face turned red. "Hm, you know, you're right."

"..."

"I'm sorry I wasted all that time turning you into a victim. I should be disappointed within myself honestly for fooling you into believing that I cared about you and loved you when in reality, it was all just an act." Kiba stated, but each word he spoke broke his heart more and more because he knew he didn't mean any of it. "I truly am the annoying, class clown guy who lacks the compassion, empathy and emotional intelligence of any human being that has a good heart."

"..."

"I care about nothing but himself and it makes you sick to even think about spending another wasteful day cleaning every inch of this room with me."

"..."

"Do you remember the day before that when I said you treat Sasuke differently to me... Because he's just him and I'm just me."

"I don't recall."

"Sure you don't." Kiba nodded as he reached around the back of his neck and walked over to Naruto's nightstand, placing his necklace down and walking back to the door.

"That...that was a gift." Naruto managed to say without making eye contact with the brunette whom did the same.

"It was a gift from the guy who thought I hated him and one day I became his first friend, I thought that we had gone from that but it looks like I was the only one who thought that." He replied as he opened the door. "You probably would've liked him though, he reminded me of a cunning little fox."

Kiba shut the door and immediately wiped the tears from his eyes that fell down without pause. He could hardly even see, but it pained him so much that he knew he couldn't stay here.

He couldn't silently control himself enough to stay here and feel all the emotions of heartbreak, loss of a friend, loss of a lover and the familiar feeling of not being good enough nor manly enough to keep those he cared about together and safe.

Naruto stood in the room with his hands shaking, his legs threatening to run but his body was too afraid and mind too conflicted to even move an inch.

He knew he still loved him, but in his mind this wasn't for him nor for Sasuke. It was for Kiba to be with someone better than him, even if he didn't want to let him go.

"I know you love me, Kiba. But I'm sorry."

As the situation keeps getting worse and emotions are on the line, Naruko still wonders just what her brother is going through all this time.

She sat in her shared room with TenTen doing her, it was supposed to be a little passing time for them but Naruko was so deep in her own thoughts that it was like she wasn't even there.

"Naruko?"

"Naruko?"

"Oi, Naruko!"

"Hm?"

"Are you listening? How do you get this much sand in your hair?" TenTen repeated.

"Oh uh, Gaara and I were on the beach earlier and Menma accidentally hit him with a volleyball so I tackled him."

"Haha, you really need to stop tussling with him."

"He didn't even apologize."

"Was Gaara badly hurt?"

"No, but he's pale so the red mark was on his back and that just pissed me off. I don't like when he gets hit, he's so porcelain, ha." She blushed while smiling at TenTen's laughter.

"Don't let him know I said that. He doesn't like when I call him porcelain, but it's true."

"Don't worry about it. Neji still gets flustered when I call him Rapunzel."

"Haha, do you remember before he asked you out and we used to talk about him in class but we didn't want any of the other girls to know so we gave him the code name 'Brownie Locs' and everyone was so confused?"

"Haha, don't remind me. We used to call Gaara 'Raspberry' and everyone swore it was our favorite fruit or something."

"Ha, I can't forget that."

"Hm, but seriously don't get sand in your hair when fighting your brothers again, the amount of volume in your hair makes it a hassle."

"I can't help it if I got my father's volume and my mother's length."

"You lucky duck."

"Ha, but TenTen? We've been friends from a long time now haven't we?" She asked as an idea came to her mind.

"Yeah, practically sisters you mean. Ever since that day we were paired up for the wrestling tryouts at school against Temari and Kauri."

"Yes, exactly!" She beamed. "That was when we first started high school too. So we've known each other for a long time."

"Yeah."

"Yeah, and we plan on being in each other's lives longer, right?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah, and you love me just as much as I love you, right?"

"Yeah..." TenTen trailed as she began getting concerned.

"So, if there was something wrong especially with for example my brothers, you'd tell me, right?"

"..."

"TenTen?"

"Don't turn your head! Um, the sand particles will fall out."

"Uh okay, but if something was wrong with my brothers you'd tell me, right?"

"Right! Of course! Because that is what best friends do, right?"

"Right!" Naruko agreed. "So have you noticed anything off with them?"

"Pfft! Of course, not! As in nothing is wrong with them, both of them are fine. Not fine in a sexy way but in an emotional way, not that I would know about their emotions as if I'd be asking them or anything like that because I know they seem fine."

"..."

"..."

"You're not gonna tell me are you?"

"Naruko, if I could I would've told you ages ago, trust me."

"Why not?"

"Because it's not my business to say. All I can say is just give them time and they'll tell you on their own."

"They? Which one is it?"

"I can't tell you that either."

"What-"

"No, remember the sand particles." TenTen reminded her as she turned her head back around swiftly.

"Tsk, this is what I get for having two brothers." She sighed while folding her hands as she went back into deep thought.

She knew it couldn't have been Menma as either her or Naruto would've figured it out and told the other a long time ago. She didn't expect Menma to know as he wasn't as aware of things as Naruto was and he definitely wasn't going to tell him if he didn't press.

So as much as she wanted to figure it out on her own without prying into his business, she's probably going to have to do a little bit of investigation on her own.

Meanwhile TenTen only rolled her eyes at her in disappointment as she knew the look on her face was her inquisitive look, the look she always had before she started being nosy.
