_______
My life means nothing without you.
I don’t want to be inside myself tonight.
My hatred of you begins to boil,
Because somehow, I know you’re right.
You tease me with your loving pain,
You tell me things I need you to.
Lies, all lies, but I love them just the same.
Dead again, I submit myself to you.
Naruto listened to these words for the millionth time. He had given up listening to the whole CD and just put track 10 on repeat. Somehow the words rang true to him in his own way. He couldn’t help but feel connected with Sasuke when he listened to the other teen pour his heart out to a slow sexy melody.
You took away everything I loved.
My innocence, my heart, my soul.
In love you bred a new kind of hate.
And my friend, insecurities took their toll.
I have nothing to offer you now.
Can’t control myself, but this isn’t new.
As my sanity slips through my fingers,
I once again reach out to you.
Help, I can’t see through my emotions.
Why am I drawn to your advances?
Why do I need you so much?
I’m irrational....irrational.
The rage continued to grow in the blonde’s mind. Sasuke’s face flashed in his mind over and over, and he rubbed his eyes, trying to forget. The song played on, and he pictured that voice, panting over him a few days ago. His eyes began to water, which made him furiously wipe the tears away.
“I hate him!” Naruto yelled to his empty room. Sasuke’s voice from the CD player was the only reply. He looked at the player, his eyes red and blurry and he suddenly grabbed it and threw it across the room. It crashed into the wall and fell to the floor, plunging the room into silence. The tears began to flow unheeded and Naruto curled on his side and presently, was asleep.
The room was dark when he woke back up. For a second he was a little disoriented. Sitting up, he scratched his now bed messed blonde hair and got up. He looked over at his night table to check the time, and noticed that it was empty. ‘Oh yeah.’ he thought, ‘I threw a tantrum and knocked everything off the table.’
He stood up, stretching and yawning into the back of his hand. He walked over and turned on the overhead light. He knew where his CD player was, but he was scared to look over, not wanting to see the damage to the wall and more importantly, his CD player. Finally he let his eyes slowly move to the far side of the room.
It wasn’t nearly as bad as he thought. He had feared there would be a hole in the wall, and his player would be in several pieces. Sometimes, when he was angry, it felt like there was a completely different presence inside him. It scared him to think of what his anger would make him capable of when he was in that frame of mind.
He walked over and picked up the player, which had popped open, spilling the CD onto the floor beside it. The lid had come unhinged, an easy fix, and the disc didn’t look to have any major damage. Then he looked at the wall. A grimace appeared on his face as he ran his finger over the indent and small crack. Jiraiya was going to have a fit. More accurately, Tsunade would have a fit, and Jiraiya would yell at him because he had to fix the crack.
Naruto walked out to the kitchen. He looked at the clock, which read just after 7pm. It was quiet. Too quiet. Jiraiya should be home, and Tsunade should be up by now. Naruto was weary. If he had learned anything from his stay with the pair of them, it was this: Life was clockwork. If something was off, something was either wrong, or brewing.
Naruto entered the hallway again, but instead of going to his room, he continued down to the bedroom of his guardians. He put his ear to the door and heard nothing. He pulled his head back, and ran his hands through his spiked locks, bringing the points a little higher. Maybe the book store was booming, and Jiraiya was staying open late, but Tsunade was never asleep past 6. He threw caution to the wind and knocked. He closed his eyes and waited for the screams of a very irritated and tired Tsunade through the door.
It never came. He opened his eyes and looked at the door for a second before knocking again. Still no noise. He took a deep breath, preparing for the worst, knowing Tsunade slept in the nude. He put his hand on the door knob. He took another breath. He looked back down the hall. He took another breath and blinked twice. He slowly began to turn the knob, trying to keep his breathing regulated in case she didn’t have a blanket on or something. It wouldn’t be very becoming if he passed out right on her floor, leaving the door open, and Jiraiya to come home and find the scene that way.
The door opened a crack. One blue eye and a few yellow spikes appeared, peeking ever so slowly.
“Naruto?” A voice said from behind him. “What are you doing?”
The blonde unstuck himself from the ceiling, swallowed his heart, which had been lodged in his throat after it jumped there, and turned around.
Hinata Hyuuga was standing in the hall, her hands clasped in front of her, and her pale eyes fixed curiously on him. He blushed and shook his head.
“I was looking for Tsunade, actually.” He said with a small smile. “She should be up by now.”
“Well, umm.” Hinata started. “That is why I am here actually.” She looked at her hands.
Naruto knew Hinata had crushed on him since they were like...fetuses, but Naruto had just gone the other way, so to speak. He had a feeling that when he had chosen Neji over her that something in her had been broken, but she also seemed stronger in some strange way.
“And?” Naruto asked, a little rudely, but he was still rather annoyed at being scared that way.
“Tsunade came to my house earlier, and she said that you were asleep, and that I was to come wake you at 7. She had some things to do before work, and Jiraiya is going out Mr. Akimichi and Mr. Nara.”
“Great, another night alone.” Naruto muttered.
“Well, if you’d like, I will stay with you for awhile.” Hinata offered. She blushed, but didn’t look away from him.
“Thanks Hinata, but I have homework to do, and I really should be alone, you know, without distractions.”
“Yeah, I suppose.” Hinata said, “Umm, Naruto?”
“Hmm?” He asked, knowing the next question.
“Why did you break up with Neji?”
Naruto took a deep breath. He had known this was coming as soon as he had seen her in the hall, but he found he still hadn’t completely been ready for it.
“I just don’t feel like we know each other very well anymore.”
“I see.” Hinata said, then she shook her head. “That isn’t true Naruto, and you know it’s a lie! It isn’t like you to not be truthful, and I don’t like it.”
“What do you mean? How do you know what’s in my head?” Naruto asked, although knowing she was right.
“Because you know Neji better than I do, and I think he knows you better than Tsunade or Jiraiya.” Hinata said. “I don’t know why you are telling that lie, but try to look into your soul, see past what happened to you, and make room in your heart for my cousin. He really cares for you.”
“I appreciate you being up front with me Hinata, and I will think over what you said.” Naruto said. Another lie.
“Thank you.” Hinata said, smiling the smile that she and Neji shared. Naruto’s stomach knotted.
He walked her to the door, thanking her again for the wake-up visit, and then she was gone. He watched her walk back across the street, turning once to look back at him. When her front door had closed, he walked back to his room. This time he was determined to get his school work done. He sat as his desk, picked up his previously discarded pencil and went to work.

A few hours later, and he was packing up. Suddenly he was starving. He made himself a sandwich and went into the living room to watch some television. He turned on the news, and again was found face to face with his attacker. A picture of the KNK lead singer was in the corner as the reporter talked about the riot in Denver. Naruto turned it up.
“...is holding a press conference, which we will now switch to live. Now to Kyo, who is standing in the board room where two of the three members with their manager, Orochimaru stand waiting to make their statement. Kyo?”
“Thank you Siya. KNK’s singer, Sasuke Uchiha fled the stage two days ago, leading to utter chaos, and a total body count of 9. Now the other two members, Gaara Sabaku, bassist, and Itachi Uchiha, drummer, along with their long time manager Orochimaru are preparing to make a statement about the events of the concert, and resulting riot. Let’s listen.”
The camera focused on three men sitting at a table. Sasuke was not there, put his picture was still in the corner of the screen. The older man, who was as white as a corpse, looked at the other two and then back at the crowd and began to speak.
”Ladies and gentlemen, as the manager of Kyuubi no Kitsune, let me first say this. The band, especially Sasuke, who is currently undergoing treatment, are deeply saddened over the events of Sunday night. We are publicly apologizing for the entire ordeal. To ensure that this won’t happen again, we are prepared to hold a charity concert to benefit the citizens of Denver that were lost, and to raise money for repairs to the auditorium. That is, if the city of Denver will have us.”
The man on the podium was good, Naruto had to admit that. The reporters were eating this up, and he was sure it would be announced by the end of this conference that the concert would be held in the next few days. He listened to the rest of the broadcast, and sure enough, there would be an outdoor concert held the very next evening.
Naruto stared as the band members sitting behind the table smiled weakly at the crowd. He was angry that Sasuke hadn’t made an appearance. The manager had said he was undergoing treatment. What the fuck ever. Naruto didn’t believe this at all. Then a most interesting idea struck him. He picked up the phone. It was picked up on the first ring.
“See the press conference?” Naruto asked.
“Of course, I’ll be there tomorrow.” Shikamaru said. He actually sounded a little excited.
“Can I ask you a favor?”
“I give no guarantees”
“Take me with you.” Naruto said. A fire in his sapphire eyes.
