Disclaimer: I don’t own

A/N: Hey faithful yaoi readers! I have nothing special to say except rain scks! It shouldn’t be raining in May!

Special thanks to my beta mrk33

Anyway Anonymous Review answer time! (For chapter 9)

Angsgirl: I knew someone was going to say that! But I actually did that to show that Itachi considered Sasuke his equal, or he would never go down on him. I don’t know if it was the best way to show that, but it was the heat of the moment LOL

Veronika: Thanks. I hope you’ll like this one too. ;-)

Lokivsanubis: Thanks! I will never write Itachi bottoming, no no! Not possible! He’s always on top XP

Kirai: No Jirayia will not have 900 kids LOL, but Gaara will possibly appear later, not sure though.

On with the chapter…

--

Naruto was patiently waiting for the brothers to return.

He was in the shower when they left, taking the bottle of pills with them. So he couldn’t check yet.

He didn’t even wash after they left. He was thinking about the pills.

The object of his distraction was not pills, but the one that gave him the tablets. Itachi promised no harm would come to Tsunade, and he believes him. However, Sasuke, he wasn’t so sure about.

And here people called him emotional.

But since they took the pills with them, then why did he find his own bottle, the one Tsunade gave him. It seemed it had rolled under the cabinet beneath the sink, and none of the maids had taken them, as he previously thought.

He didn’t understand. If no one found his pills, then how did Itachi get that other bottle? Heck, how did he even know of their existence?

It was very troubling. He was sure Tsunade had nothing to do with this, since her ass was on the linejust as much as his. Sasuke was too surprised to be involved. And well, Itachi couldn’t really make it up, and be right about it at the same time.

Kyuubi could be quite cunning when in search for the truth.

So, he was very impatient to ask Itachi about his bottle, and finally get answers. He looked at the tiny bottle in his hand before throwing it in the trash. He didn’t want to risk having Itachi, or Sasuke walk in while he had it within arms reach.

That could create a very sticky situation for him. And he didn’t want to cause more suspicion, now that he held no more insecurity about the brothers’ intentions, and feelings for him.

Well, okay, their feelings were not exactly what he had hoped to hear, but he knew them (especially Sasuke), and he knew it was the best they could express for now.

He looked up from his position on the bed when they both entered the room, and curious about his troubled expression.

Itachi was the first to react, “What is it, Naruto?”

Naruto started a little at the lack of honorific, but didn’t question it. He looked at Itachi, cocked his head to the side, and asked “I was thinking. Where did you find that bottle?”

Itachi took his time before answering. He observed the blond, asking himself why the blond would need to know that. After all, he knew where it was stashed, right?

“It was in my office this morning. On my desk, with a note indicating it was yours.”

Naruto scowled. How could this be possible?

“Why do you ask?” he heard Sasuke say, and turned to him, smiling, hand scratching the back of his neck.

“I kind of forgot where I put it.”

He saw Sasuke’s eyes narrow, and knew he had detected the lie, but didn’t say anything else.

“Well, I’m going to take that shower,” he stood, and quickly fled to the bathroom closing the door behind him. Turning on the taps he was about step inside when he heard Itachi’s voice.

It was quite muffled due to the running water, and closed door, but he could still make out the words.

“I think you should find a way to reward Sakura.” That voice belonged to Itachi as he continued to listen.

“Why? Was she the one who left the note and pills?” asked Sasuke.

“She didn’t leave a note,” replied Itachi. “She was waiting for me in the hallway when I entered the office. She told me everything even Tsunade providing the pills.”

“Then why did you give your word you wouldn’t hurt her if you already knew?” hissed Sasuke.

“Foolish little brother, I wanted to test for honesty, and he passed. Understanding that we would punish him, and knowing he no longer housed a demon that would aid against injury when necessary.”

Naruto retreated from his position next to the door. He did get his answer after all, but it was not the one he was expecting.

Sakura-Chan…

--

The next morning, Naruto woke up alone in bed, and felt like going straight to Sakura for answers. But he knew it would be useless. He was sure she would not tell him of her reasons.

But what was strange to him, except the fact that he’s been betrayed by a friend, was that it didn’t add up with her reaction at the hospital. And he really was starting to agree with Neji and Shikamaru.

He still had doubts though, and he decided to go see Tsunade and talk to her.

He arrived at Tsunade’s room an hour later and found her sitting at her desk, reading several medical reports.

“Hey, Baa-chan” he announced.

Her slightly pissed only worsened his mood.

“Ah, Gaki, just the one I wanted to see,” she said. She got up from her chair, walking over to him, and suddenly hit him over the head. “Idiot! You didn’t even manage to keep those pills for three days before being discovered?”

Naruto rubbed the sore spot on his head, and looked at her strangely. “How did you know about that? I just discovered it last night.”

Tsunade shook her head. So they didn’t say anything to him…

“I received a very friendly note from Sasuke. How did they manage to find out this soon? How did they found out at all? I told you to be careful.”

She shook her head again, and inwardly smiled. He didn’t know how lucky he was to not be dead right now. She had seen the way they handled the people trying to hinder their plans before, and if they didn’t feel something for him, he would have been ripped to shreds already… and me with him, she thought.

She was going to mock his inability to be sneaky when she saw his frown. She mirrored his expression before asking “What is it, gaki?”

He looked away, and told her about the conversation he had with Sakura at the hospital, and he saw Tsunade’s eyes narrow even more.

Tsunade was pissed. The little bitch was taking it too far. If she had a problem with Sasuke’s choice, she could take it up with him, and leave Naruto alone. He didn’t need to doubt himself more because she was not women enough to handle rejection.

She was about to tell that when Naruto told her about the pills, and the discussion between Itachi and Sasuke.

Tsunade was ready to get out of there, find the little conniving insect, and crush her bones, until only dust would be found. She was trying to get her, and her surrogate brother killed just so Sasuke would look at her. Just to get in his good books.

Tsunade inwardly snorted. Not that he would, the girl was totally useless for him, and so inexistent.

She was becoming afraid for Naruto. The pregnancy would be very taxing on him, for the first few months he would need medics’ assistance as well as the father’s Chakra to survive. Now as the best medic around, she was supposed to take care of one part of the treatment, it was one of the reasons they let her live. But, she would need another medic to help, and Sakura was the best choice, since she trained the girl herself.

Now if Sakura wanted to harm Naruto, she would have lots of opportunities to do it then. And she was sure that if Itachi and Sasuke wanted Sakura on the case, she wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. She couldn’t say that Sakura was dangerous, she had no solid proof. And she was sure the two ravens saw her act as one of loyalty, and not as a means to get Sasuke.

She needed to find a way to get Sakura out of the picture, and soon. Because she knew the moment Naruto would be vulnerable, Sakura would attack, and she couldn’t let that happen.

She looked at Naruto again, inwardly cursing Sakura.

She needed to find something…

…But what can I do?

--

Sasuke was walking toward the Hokage tower. Itachi had summoned him.

His eyes narrowed when he remembered his discussion with Itachi, the night before.

Foolish little brother…

It’s been a long time since Itachi called him that. Three years actually.

Ever since he had become a Jinchuuriki, Itachi had treated him as an equal. Not like his foolish little brother…

He was angry that three little words were troubling him so much, but he knew it was because he was disappointed that Itachi still held that much power over him.

It felt as if he was still a little child, looking for his superior’s recognition.

His thoughts came to a halt when he entered the office. He looked around, surprised that he was the first one there. He looked at his brother when he heard him speak, “They should arrive shortly.” Eyes never leaving the scroll in his hand.

As soon as those words were uttered, the door opened again, and Naruto, Tsunade, and Sakura walked in.

Sasuke was surprised to see Tsunade glare at Sakura’s back, and he vaguely wondered what Sakura had done.

Itachi saw the glare, but decided to get to business immediately.

“Tsunade-san, you will check Naruto now. The room on your right is prepared.”

She nodded, and the two entered the room, leaving the brothers and Sakura behind.

Sakura was curious as to what Tsunade was supposed to check for. She didn’t see anything wrong with the blond. “Itachi-sama, why is Naruto being checked?” she asked.

No one answered her. None of them even looked at her, and she decided to wait, patiently. She would probably have her answers soon anyway.

Itachi and Sasuke’s eyes were not leaving the door. They would soon have a professional opinion, even if they were suspicious already, since their demons told them they could smell the change.

A few minutes later, a shocked Naruto, and a suspiciously smirking Tsunade re-entered the office.

She looked at them, her smile widening slightly

“Congratulations, you’re going to be fathers”

And Naruto fainted.

I think I’m getting sadistic. Cliffies look more and more appealing these days LOL

On a sadder note (for me at least) Chapters are going to be less frequent (finals and other stuff).
