"Uhhn! Ughn! Mmm. Harder! HARDER!" the woman beneath him screamed, as he obliged her commands.

He thrusted in and out, rough and fast.. And finally he felt it. His balls tightened and threatened to explode, but he knew better than to burst before his lover did. The woman pierced his back with her nails, in a fit of pleasure. Her warm insides clenched together and squeezed his throbbing erection. He knew he had to pull out, but it felt all too good.

"Ughn. Uhh. I have to pull out, babe. I have to pull out!"

"Don't Naruto.. I'm on the pill.. It'll be fine." She panted.

"If you say- UGHNN!" They both erupted in pleasure.

Naruto's face changed from pleasure to sudden angst. He, physically had released all sexual tension, but the emotional turmoil within him would never be released. The purple haired woman knew then that he had to leave again. She could blame no one but herself, because it was her that had made one fateful mistake so long ago.

Naruto pulled out of Anko and fell to the other side of the bed. Knowing he could not stay, he sprang up and began to search for his clothes, which had been strewn all over the apartment complex when he'd begun his sexual escapade with his comrade. He collected his clothes and placed it on the bed, noticing he was missing his boxers. He looked over to the other side of the bed and saw Anko searching and dressing as well.

"I heard you found a girlfriend." Anko said nonchalantly.

"I did. She's a nice, independent, strong kunoichi. Not Sakura, but I like her." Naruto replied, almost saying 'Not you.'

"Why did you come then? You could've refuse from the very start. From the moment I offered to buy you celebratory drinks." Anko said, grinding her teeth. She had been expecting him to say Sakura, so she could use the excuse of a spar to beat the shit out of the pink-haired girl.

"You would've dragged me along anyway, don't deny it. But it's not that it matters. It was a one-night stand. Happens all the time." Naruto retaliated.

"You cheated, though."

"You're one to talk, right Anko?"

Anko opened her mouth to speak, but Naruto stopped her. "Nah, forget it. This is just casual sex. I came to you in need of relieving tension. I satisfied you, you satisfied me. That's sex."

"She's not good, huh?"

"To be honest, I haven't even fucked her yet. She's too innocent and sweet. Taking it slow is a drag, as Shika would say. So there. I fucked you, you fucked me. We had sex, no strings."

"Are you going to break up with her?"

"No. I mean I just screwed you. I did cheat, and now I'll own up to it. I'm getting married to her in a week."

"Can you stop being so lewd and full of grudges! You were never like this before!" Anko said, completely disregarding what he'd said after.

"Things have changed, and I hold no grudge against you. Only emptiness. And anyway, I need to go now. Give me back my boxers."

"You're getting married soon, huh?" Anko said as something inside her finally clicked.

"Yeah. You'll attend, won't you? Who would miss the wedding of the Rokudaime? Especially one that will tie two nations together?" He replied, his voice icy and even, mimicking almost.

Anko tossed him his boxers and turned away. She heard him shuffle around for a bit, before she heard the front door of her luxurious apartment complex close. She let the tears fall, as she remembered that day. The day she made the mistake she'd come to regret so much.

The ninja walked through the doors of the bar, incredibly upset. Shizune and he had gotten into a massive fight, and she had left their apartment very angry. He had followed after, to no avail. He ended up going to where he was now, a bar three districts from his own house. He went in and ordered immediately four bottles of sake, downing the first. He was a bit of a lightweight, and didn't often drink. Today was a different story.

She had just gotten into a stupid little arguement with Naruto, something that was hard for them to avoid these days. He had told her he needed to go out, and seek comfort in someone that would actually care for him. Those words had cut her like a knife. She knew who that meant, Sakura. She headed to a bar as far away from home as possible, and to her surprise, saw Iruka, killing bottle after bottle of sake.

"Upset your boyfriend?" Anko said jokingly.

"Oh c'mon, Anko. Not now.." Iruka said, exasperated.

"Let's talk it out."

Twenty bottles of sake later, the two had found themselves undressing, feeling, and grinding on each other.

Three hours later, both woke up with a hell of a headache. The doorbell rang from the front, and Anko cringed.

"Naruto, get the door."

Then it hit her. Beside her, was not Naruto.

Naruto rang his girlfriend's doorbell several times. Not receiving a response, Naruto used Hirashin to get inside instead. It was always good to have that skill. He had planted the kunai in her house a while ago. He went towards the bedroom door, only to be met with a locked door.

"Ugh fuck. She's a heavy sleeper." Naruto thought to himself.

"Naruto? Is that you?" Anko called out.

"Yeah. Babe, I came to say I'm sorry. We're always going at it, getting into pointless arguments. I called in to tell Sakura that I was gonna take a week off from my Hokage duties and take you somewhere far away. Mission: Bring Back the Love!"

Anko could not help but smirk. "Hold on, I'm not dressed." Anko said, as she looked over to Iruka and thought of a way to get him out of here without Naruto noticing. A sudden burst of chakra for a shunshin would notify Naruto of someone else being in her room.

"Oh come on! It's nothing I haven't seen yet.." Naruto said. "I'm coming in."

Without waiting for another word, Naruto burst into the room.

She was caught. She was caught in a mistake.

Naruto was so heartbroken that he could not react. How did it end up becoming his favourite, beloved sensei that betrayed him? Naruto left that day, a single lone tear falling from his face. Later that day, he had met with Iruka, and they were on less hostile terms, after listening to the explanation Iruka had for him. For some reason, Naruto could hold no grudge against his sensei. After all, it was a drunken mistake. So why, why oh why, could he not forgive his girlfriend? The reason, he did not know. So he left it at that.

Naruto wandered aimlessly around the village, avoiding miles of paperwork he had back at the Hokage's office. He recounted back to the conversation he had had with his fiancée. She listened to him speak of his infidelity, and accepted it nonetheless. The wedding would go as planned. Little did Naruto know, the girl whom he was supposed to wed knew his heart better than he did. She knew he was still in love with the other woman, and she hoped that he would come to realize it before the wedding day. She would see how it played out.

Anko was at her favourite dango shop, contemplating what was left of her relationship with Naruto.

What relationship? It was only a one- nightstand.

She continued munching on the dango stick, absently thinking of all the happy times she'd had with her darling blonde. She paid for her meal and left the shop accordingly. She strolled on and on, until her head hit something firm. She looked up and saw a flurry of blonde.

"Gomen." He said.

"It was my fault, too," She replied.

He smiled at her, oh so slightly, and walked away.

She called out to him, before he could round the corner. "I'm sorry I won't make it to your wedding. I have a pre-scheduled mission."

"Wouldn't I know if you had a mission?" Naruto asked.

"It was predetermined. I'll be gone for a little over a week."

'When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow night." She said, hoping he'd stop her. She knew all too well, though.

"It's a damn shame, isn't it? Well, good-bye, Anko." It was then they both knew, his good-bye would serve two purposes.

Their love was over. It was never meant to be.

A/N WHOOO. A completed one shot written during a forty-minute break. Feeling good. Just for a little fun, a bit also because of a very nagging best friend. :] Happy Fan-Fic hunting!
