Stay. (( SasuNaru ))

21. Trouble In Paradise

Naruto's POV

   sasuke cursed under his breath while his hands found way through his messy hair. My eyes began swelling up. It burned, as if someone took a lighter and held it up to my heart. Sasuke slammed his fist into the wall.. "S-Sas-.." Then again. I could see the tears forming in his eyes. He thrusted his forehead into the wall held himself back. "S-Sasuke.. r-relax.." I walked over to his and wrapped my arms around his waist, placing my ear against his back. "It's my fault.. Naru.." He mumbled. "No it's not.. I-I promise.." I tried to calm him down with my soft voice.

  "That perfume. I know who's it is." He gently pushed me off and walked over to the windowsill. "H-Huh?.."

   "Karin." My eyes widened. Back in Junior year, there were rumors of Sasuke and Karin having numerous hookups. Further rumors suggested that Karin wanted something deeper, yet Sasuke rejected her request. "I swear i'll kill her.." He muttered as he gripped onto the curtains. Just then, Sasukes phone went off.

Sasuke's POV

I felt completely angered by that jealous bitch's actions. She really took my kid? No. I refuse to believe it. I walked myself over to my bedroom and squinted at the unknown number that was featured on the screen. I brought my phone to my ear. "Hello?" The anger was still peaking through my voice. "Look who picked up! Naruto. You pick.. a boy over me? I thought we had something. Guess you were just a gay wuss all along." I clenched my phone harder upon hearing the familiar voice. "Leave my fucking family alone, Karin. I swear to everything I love it you have my damn son, I'll make sure you never step foot around me again."

    A soft laugh came from the other line. "Oh, I'll give you your son. Once you give me a chance." Karin whispered. "In your dreams. Give me my kid." My voice grew louder. "S-Sasuke?.. who is it?" shit. Naru's gonna freak when he realizes Karin has Menma. "Just our landlord, babe." I shouted. "Landlord, huh? You don't want the blonde to know about our little conversation?" Karin spike. "I'd rather him not know." I said, lowering my voice. "Meet me tomorrow night. Nine o'clock sharp. Give me one more night to remember and i'll consider giving you your.. baby." She growled into the phone.

   My heart raced. I can't do that.. or can I? I mean, I'm not doing it by choice, i'm doing it for my son. But.. Naruto.. "... Fine. Just don't tell anyone about this."

"Of course, babe."

Naruto's POV

   I held the phone up to my ear with trembling fingers. "Hn. Yes, Naruto?" I tried to say something. "Shikamaru.. y-you were right.. Menma.. h-he's gone.. w-we don't know where he went and I was just trying t-to-.." The words continued to flow out of my mouth. "Calm down. Would you like me to come over?" He asked politely. "Please d-do.." My heart was pounding. He hung up and Sasuke soon walked in. "Did y-you find out anything?.." I whispered. "He told us that there was error in our card but i fixed it all." Sasuke replied. "n-no.. about the b-baby.. my baby.." I looked up at him with tears running down my cheeks.

   He pulled me into a hug and rested his chin on my hair. "I promise.. everything is going to be okay." He mumbled. There was a knock at the door. That was.. fast. "I-It's Shikamaru.. i'll g-get it.." I walked downstairs and swiftly unlocked the door. "I came as soon as possible." He said, burning his cigarette out on the brick wall outside. "T-Thank you.. I'm gonna set out a-an amber alert.. h-hopefully that'll h-h-.." I broke into tears again. It hurt knowing my son wasn't in my vision. Shikamaru hesitantly wrapped his arms around me and held me tightly. "Calm down, Naruto. Let's set out the amber alert and see what the police can do. I'll also go around and try and find Menma." I was shocked at first, but then nodded slowly and wiped at my cheek. Shikamaru stroked my hair and pushed my head softly into his shoulder. He seemed to be.. different now..
