Love or Hate: A Naruto Fanfiction Book 1

Chapter 4: Surprise, Surprise

You grab another bottle of Sakē and drink it all. Right now you are wearing a pair of booty shorts and your crop top with a set of undergarments underneath. You finish crying and wipe your tears away, as you hear the door open slowly. You see Hotaka and Isao as they come to sit with you. You can tell they were bruised the same as you. You avoid eye contact as your body lay on the couch. You drink from the bottle again. You are holding back tears from falling. You feel someone sit beside you. You merely look away and at your alcohol. You finish the bottle. You know that you are drunk right now, you just didn't care.

"Nori, you should eat something". Hotaka say placing a hand on your shoulder. Isao is in the kitchen getting you a glass of water.

While they were out still, you were thinking back on most of your life.

"I am not hungry Hotaka." You state bluntly.

"Try to at least drink some water Nori" Hotaka says as Isao passes you the glass of water. You sit up slowly and set down your bottle. You grab the glass of cold water. Hotaka places a hand on your bruising cheek.
"Are you alright, Nori?" Isao asks as he sits on the other side of you. You take a sip of the water, but it didn't give you the same satisfying taste of Sakē or whiskey. You set down your water. You then grab a bottle of whiskey and take a shot, before Hotaka gently pulls it away from you and you let go of the bottle.

"Nori, we know you're not okay. You can cry you know." Isao says firmly as he passes you your water. You nod as you take another sip of water after grabbing it from Isao. You lean back and run your left hand over your face.

"I hate watching you getting hurt like that Nori. I don't care if he hits me, but I hate it when he hits you." Hotaka says.

"You guys do know I am drunk right now?" You ask in a slightly slurred tone. They both nod.

"Nori drink some water. You will feel a bit better." Isao says. You nod and gulp down some water.

Time skip...

Isao and Hotaka finish healing your wounds and you have ice over top of your cheek and shoulder.

"What time is it?" You ask normally.

"About 11 pm, you should sleep Nori." Hotaka says. You nod and lean against him. He brushes your hair out of your face as you slowly fall asleep.

Time skip...

You wake up in a panic. You were covered in sweat and you lay back down on your bed. You were being plagued by nightmares. All the things you have done, all the people you have killed, their faces and their pain filled cries, all haunting you. You sit up again and look over to your alarm clock, it reads 3:12 am. You swing your legs off your bed and place your elbows on top of your knees, with your head in your hands. You change into a pair of black tights and your black crop top. You also have a pair of black undergarments. Your arms are covered in bruises. You walk towards your living room. You go over and pick up all of the empty bottles. You throw them out. You go to pick up an empty bottle to find it is full along with a bunch of them. You keep the full ones out and throw away the empty ones. You go back to the living room, and you grab a Sakē bottle. You take a sip then sit down. You feel hollow inside and you drink the Sakē again. You look over at a picture of you and Lord Danzō when you were younger. You shake with anger at it. You stand and throw the picture in the garbage. You scowl and drink the rest of your Sakē. "Captain... Nori?" You hear from the door way to your room. It was an Anbu black op.

"What is it?" You snap angrily.

"Lord Third wants to see you, he asked about a girl with silver hair and blue eyes. So I thought that he meant you, Captain." The Anbu says. "I will be there shortly, now leave me" you order.
