Paranoia || Naruto Uzumaki || Chapter 7

OH MY GOSH I'M ALIVE. I know it's been forever since I've posted this story. However, updates are going to be more  frequent because now that I'm done with school I won't have any homework sucking up all my time. I hope y'all enjoy this chapter!

Melanie squeezed Naruto’s hand as she struggled to keep calm. “I told Naruto about our game and how we are playing hide and seek.”

            Kabuto’s eyes narrowed. “Why is he even here?”

            “Because it’s a Friday night and I wanted to come to Ole Jenkins Farm,” Naruto answered smoothly. He slipped his hand from Melanie’s, ignoring her gaze.

            “Goodbye Naruto. It was so pleasant running into you but we really have to get going.” Kabuto placed his arm around Melanie’s shoulders pulling her away with him.

            “Get your hands off of her.”

            Kabuto stopped glancing over his shoulder.

            “I know that Melanie is too kind to tell you herself-”

            “Tell me what?” Kabuto snapped, cutting off Naruto. His grip tightened around Melanie’s shoulders.

            “That we’re dating,” Naruto said, spreading his hands in an apologetic manner.

            “You’re lying.” Kabuto scanned the blondes face, looking for any sign of deceit. Naruto followed his arms, a smug smirk settling on his face.

            “He’s right Kabuto,” Melanie spoke up.

            Kabuto turned on Melanie. He placed his hands on her shoulders, moving in close. “Why did you accept my invite tonight, then?”

            He felt her shrug. “I thought we were just going as friends.”

            As friends…as friends…as friends.

            The words tumbled through Kabuto’s mind. “As friends?” he echoed.

            Melanie gave him a sympathetic glance. “I’m sorry Kabuto.”

            Kabuto stared at Melanie refusing to believe what they were saying. He had been watching her through the cameras. He knew every time Naruto was over. Not once had they acted like a true couple. Sure, the obnoxious blonde was always over but there were no signs of anything more than friendship.

            “I don’t believe you.”

            “Like I said, Melanie was too nice to tell you. She didn’t want to hurt your feelings,” Naruto said. He placed his hand on Kabuto’s shoulder. “I’d appreciate it if you moved away from my girlfriend.”

            That was it. Hearing the words pushed Kabuto over the edge. He refused to stand around and let this subordinate boss him around. Kabuto moved in the blink of an eye. He pushed Melanie backwards before turning around and swinging at Naruto, hitting him square in the jaw. Naruto stumbled back a few steps a hand coming up to massage the sore area.

            “I was hoping you would do that.” Naruto flew forward brining a fist up. Kabuto blocked his punch but wasn’t prepared for Naruto’s head-butt. He toppled backwards. Naruto knocked into Kabuto sending them both to the ground. Kabuto barely had time to throw up his arms in protection before the hits came. Naruto pounded into him letting his frustrations come out with each punch.
