One week Later

Naruko P.O.V

"So Sasuke was all like, 'Sakura, stop being so cute~' and I was like, 'No, you're the cute one!' Isn't that adorable, Naruko? Our love is so pure!" Sakura boasted happily with a cocky laugh.

What a freaking liar...Sasuke would rather die than say that.

We were walking to Ichiraku's and Sakura would not stop boasting about her imaginary relationship with Sasuke. Even if I was oblivious to her lies, I knew Sasuke.

My blood was boiling at the sound of her lies, and with every step we walked, the anger in my heart began to scream louder. But I had to endure, because by the end of the day, she'll be exposed for what she is: a liar.

"Naruko?"

I jumped at the sound of her voice calling my name. "Y-yes?"

"You've been really quiet. Are you okay?"

Yeah, it's not like you're lying about being with Sasuke or anything.

"I'm fine...just hungry," I said as we walked into Ichiraku's.

"That's what I thought!" She laughed.

I rolled my eyes internally as I looked at the time.

Just a little longer...

Shikamaru P.O.V

I knocked on Sasuke's door, waiting for him to open.

Please be here...

Suddenly, the sound of the door being opened caught my attention, and I watched Sasuke poke his head through the crack of the door angrily. His eyes were red, his hair was a mess, his clothes were stained and dirty, and he smelled like a dirty teenage boy.

I quickly held my nose to try and block the disgusting scent. "Ugh Sasuke, when was the last time you showered?!"

"Does it matter? Why are you even here?"

I sighed at his grouchy attitude before speaking: "I gotta show you something important."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah."

He rolled his eyes and began to close the door. Before he could close it completely, I grabbed onto the door desperately and tried to hold it open.

"I know the truth behind you and Naruko!" I yelled.

"What...?"

He slowly opened the door, allowing me to speak.

"I know the truth...Naruko was never pregnant. It was just a set up that Sakura came up with."

His jaw slowly dropped, and his eyes began to water. "There's no way...how could Sakura trick me...?"

"If you dont believe and you want to hear it from her directly, come with me," I said as I held out my hand.

He hesitated to take my hand, and right when he was about to take it, he backed off. "No...Naruko and I are over."

I slapped my face angrily. "Sasuke, are you serious right now?!"

He stayed silent as he looked at the ground in shame.

"Listen Sasuke, Naruko has never lied to you, not even once! She's still in love with you!"

"...Even if that's true...I know she doesn't trust me the way she trusts Sakura...if she would have spoken to me, than none of this would have happened."

"Are you an idiot? You didn't talk to her either! If you two would just talked to each other, all of this would have have been avoided!"

"But-!"

"No, Sasuke, you just don't want to admit that you both fucked up, and that's why you guys are in this mess. You didn't trust her when she was trying to tell you the truth, and she didn't trust you enough to tell you everything about her life. This is a problem that you guys have an need to fix, and I'm trying to help you two."

He stayed silent, staring at the ground, ashamed to admit that what I was saying was correct.

"Ugh, look...I know you still love her too, so please...come with me."

He looked at my hand sadly before reaching for it. "Fine...but you better not be lying to me."

"Dont worry, because today you'll only be hearing the truth."

Naruko P.O.V

"Wow I'm so full!" Sakura exclaimed as we walked out of Ichiraku's.

"Yeah..." I mumbled slightly annoyed by her.

She pouted at me and then quickly held onto my arm, causing me to stop in my track. "Seriously Naruko, is there something wrong? You haven't been yourself all day, and on top of that you've been calling me Sakura. You never call me Sakura."

"Really...? Sorry, I'm a little out of it today. I'm feeling kinda tired."

"Is that so...? Well, maybe we can finish our little date tomorrow!"

"No!" I yelled immediately, causing her to flinch. "I-I mean that I want to keep hanging out with you! It's been a while since we've gone out together!"

Shit...I almost ruined the plan...

She smiled happily at me as she gave me a hug. "You're the best ever, Naruko~"

Liar... you're a liar...

***

We ended up at the park, and we sat at the swings, chatting away as Sakura contiued to rub her fake relationship in my face.

Where's Shikamaru? He told me he had some great plan and all I had to do was tolerate her for the day, but it's getting really hard to at this point...

Suddenly, I saw Shikamaru walking towards us, and I knew he was about to put his plan into action.

"Hey Shikamaru!" cheered Sakura as she waved at him from the swing.

He glared at her and proceeded to walk up to her angrily.

"Shikamaru? Why do you look so angry?" She asked innocently.

He stood in front of us, staring at both of us angrily. He then looked at me and grabbed ahold my arm, pulling me up from the swing.

"Naruko!" He yelled angrily, "Why're you hanging out with that fake bitch?!"

I looked at him in fear as I pretended to be scared. "Wha-!"

Sakura immediately got up and held onto my other arm, pulling me towards her. "What do you think you're doing to her?!" She yelled.

"Shut up Sakura, you have no right to touch her!"

"What do mean?! Naruko and I are best friends!"

"Oh really?! Then why did you tell Sasuke that Naruko was pregnant with Gaara's baby?!" He spat, immediately causing Sakura to jolt back in fear.

"Why would I ever do that...?!"

"I don't know, maybe because you're jealous of Naruko?"

I looked at Sakura sadly and shook my head in disbelief. "No...Sakura...tell me he's lying..."

"Of course he's lying! I was happy for you when you were with Sasuke. Besides, how would I even be able to frame you?"

"By using my pregnancy test," Hinata said as she walked up behind Shikamaru.

Sakura shook as she saw Hinata. Sweat began to drop down her face, and her grip on me began to loosen.

"Yo-you have no proof!" She stuttered.

"Give up the act, we all know how much you hated how in love Sasuke and Naruko were together," said Shikamaru as he pulled me away from Sakura.

Shikamaru quickly passed me to Hinata, and she held onto me in a caring embrace as they contiued to attack Sakura.

"Sakura, did you break up Naruko's relationship?" Hinata asked.

She looked at the ground as she stayed silent.

We looked at her, waiting to hear her response in anxiousness. Suddenly, she looked at us and gave an evil smile.

"Sakura...?" I asked as I trembled in fear from her evil expression.

"Shut the fuck up you stupid bitch," she said as she crossed her arms.

"Sakura!" They yelled angrily at her.

"What? She is an idiot, and so is Sasuke. Those two fell right into my trap because of how blinded they were by their own love. It was seriously too easy. I knew Sasuke was already jealous of Gaara, so all I had to do was come up with a story that made Gaara the villain."

"I don't understand..." I mumbled as I looked at her evil eyes.

"Let me dumb it down for you Naruko: I'm the reason why Sasuke broke up with you."

Even though I knew she was the reason for my break up, hearing her say it made my heart break. Our long friendship ended because of jealousy over a boy. I never knew our friendship was so weak.

"Why...? Why would you do this...?" I asked while leaving Hianta's arms and walking towards Sakura.

"Why? Because I hated the fact that he was in love with you. I was jealous, and it wasn't fair that a dumb bitch like you could have him head over heels and I couldn't. I knew he was in love with you, and I knew you were too, but because you were so dense and stupid, I thought I could still have a chance, but that clearly didn't happen. So when you told me you two were finally together, I had to find a way to break you guys up."

I felt tears begin to form in my eyes from the heart break. My best friend, the one I thought was my greatest partner, stabbed me in the back, and that heart break hurt as much as when Sasuke left me.

"I fed Sasuke lies about you and Gaara, saying you were in love and sleeping together, but he never fully trusted my lies. But once I had Hinata's pregnancy test to show Sasuke proof that you were 'pregnant,' I knew that it was finally over for you two. Haha, he was such an idiot!" She said with a laugh.

As I watched her laugh, I felt my blood begin to boil. And out of anger, my body moved on its own, and I slapped her.

The sound of my slap echoed through the silent park. She was shocked and her cheek was red from pain.

"I can't believe you..." I said with tears rolling down my face, "...You were my best friend...how could you do this to me?!"

She sighed as she used her hand to hold onto her hurt cheek, "It doesn't matter anymore. Our friendship was over the moment we fell in love with the same guy."

I began to cry even harder as I tried to wipe my tears quickly. I then felt the warmth from Hianta as she held me in her arms, trying to comfort me.

"It doesn't matter anymore, Naruko. You can tell Sasuke the truth, but he won't listen to you. He hates you just as much as he hates me. We're both unfortunately his..."

I couldn't think. My mind was blank and my heart was broken. Not only did I lose my lover but also my best friend.

"No..."

I felt my heart stop at the sound of that familiar low voice.

"...I don't hate Naruko."

Sasuke...?! Why is he here?!

All four of us looked back to see Sasuke walking towards us. He walked confidently, but his appearance said other wise. He was dirty and smelly, but that didn't stop me from looking at him. He was still gorgeous in my eyes.

I felt my heart ache at his presence and my eyes wouldn't leave his sight.

Sasuke...I miss you...

I was suddenly snapped out of my thoughts as I felt Shikamaru place his hand on my shoulder. He sighed loudly in relief, "Looks like my job here is done."

"What do you mean...?"

"I had Sasuke come and watch the whole thing. It took a lot of convincing to get him here thought..." he said with another sigh.

So this was his plan...

He smiled at me as he ruffled my hair. "Don't worry Naruko. Soon he'll be yours again."
