Chapter 15


~Sasuke woke up at dawn and way before Naruto did. He blushed and fought the urge to just stay where he was and bask in the glory of being held tightly in the embrace of his slumbering best friend, who probably had no idea whom he was holding let alone that he was doing it. Sasuke loved the smell of his best friend. The musky yet earthy light smell of his skin, the feel of his hard yet sinewy body holding him tightly, protectively. The feel of his soft shaggy blond locks tickling his bare neck and part of the exposed skin on his back and arms from where the tank top he slept in did not cover him up. And the feel of Naruto’s warm breath against his cooler skin that suddenly erupted in goose bumps at the feel of that wonderfully warm air upon his skin, knowing that the heated breath was coming FROM the lips of his best friend and secret crush was too much for Sasuke. He HAD to escape.

~Feeling his body tighten and his cock starting to harden, Sasuke did he best to become the best contortionist in the world. Moving this way and that way, slinking an arm under and over, his leg moving almost in inhuman angles as he managed to squirm and shift out of Naruto’s hold without waking his dobe up. It took some time and lots of patience as well as some really, really flexible moves to finally slide to the floor of his room and look over to the bed to make sure his blond hadn’t woken up. He hadn’t, but all that contact and skin on skin brushing had made Sasuke soooooo very hard and painfully erect. Sighing and grunting he walked stiffly to the in-suite bathroom attached to his private quarters. A long cold shower was DEFININTLY in order.

~After the shower and a change of clothes, Sasuke walked out of his room quietly, before he had even stepped out of his room, he caught the tail end of Anko slipping out of his older brothers room and down the back stair way. Sasuke sighed and shook his head. He was downstairs and at the table drinking a cup of coffee when Itachi walked in and grabbed a cup of coffee himself from the side board, where the cooks were still setting out the things for morning breakfast. They already had coffee and croissants for the Uchiha heirs. The kitchen staff knew the Uchiha boys as well as their father liked to wake early and have a freshly baked croissant and coffee before they did anything else. They would eat breakfast when their guests got up and join them, but for now they liked their simple fair to start off their day.

~”So how was your night little brother?” Itachi asked out of habit as he sat down at the table across his brother, taking his first sip of the overly strong brew that came from specially ordered beans from a small town in the foothills of Mount Ararat. He sighed in delight at the taste and looked at his little brother who was just watching him with a quirked eyebrow.

~”What?” Itachi asked, his own eyebrow going up to mimic his little brothers.

~”When are you going to marry her?” Sasuke asked casually, knowing his older brother knew what he was referring to, or rather who, but of course his brother was going to play ignorant, he always did.

~”Who?” Itachi asked, taking another long satisfying sip from his coffee, he had missed this blend being at college, of course he had taken some of the ground beans to his dorm room but making it in his dorm room coffee maker somehow didn’t taste the same as the way the kitchen staff made it here at home.

~”You know WHO I am referring to Aniki.” Sasuke replied with a frustrated sigh, he hated the games he and his brother went through just to converse.

~”I am only eighteen years old little brother, far too young to marry anyone.” Itachi replied, although the way he sort of looked OVER Sasuke instead of straight at him was a tell tale sign of not being completely honest with his brother.

~”And you have wanted her since your were twelve years old aniki…long before she came to work for us, you have been after he since her father bought her over to one of the business events father had a thing for throwing at the office back in the days before he started to make them personal by having them here.” Sasuke stated, knowing full well that Itachi knew exactly what he was referring to. Anko was the daughter of their old security and overall manager, Ibiki Morino. Actually she was his step daughter but he had raised her from age one and had loved her dearly as she did him, before he passed away from cancer, smoking all his life had cost him precious years.

~Although Anko was five years older than Itachi, the moment the future heir had seen the girl at the family party, standing next to her father, looking all serious and stern, Itachi had been smitten. The fact that even though her father WORKED for the Uchiha’s she did not cow tow to him or the younger Uchiha had been an even bigger draw for the strong willed Itachi, who found it irritating when people gave in to him too easily. He respected those who could stand up to him and give as good as they got without fear of repercussions. Although for the most part, no matter how much someone tended to deny the future heir, it didn’t stop Itachi from eventually getting what he wanted. He could be spooky that way.

~Even before Ibiki had officially retired to spend the last remaining years with his family, Anko had taken over a lot of Ibiki’s responsibilities and as she came to the house more and more often, the more Itachi, who was still just a pup as she called him then, had gone after her, hitting on her just to be shot down time and time again. But for Itachi this became a game of sorts, the more she refused him, the more he wanted her. Of course Itachi kept his attraction and want of the lithe but deadly young woman a secret, he did not want anyone to know his business and did not want his father or mother firing the feisty brunette for something that HE was doing. But Itachi was pretty dense if he thought he was fooling anyone really. Sasuke had known the minute the relationship between the two had changed, even if outwardly nothing had changed in their interaction between each other. Sasuke would have told Itachi that both his mother and father both knew of the secret affair and were in favor of a union between the two. They loved Anko as they had her father. But telling Itachi or Anko that would ruin it for them they suspected. But Sasuke would not let it stop him from teasing his brother, it was something brothers did between themselves.

~”I have no clue of what you are referring to little brother.” Itachi frowned, playing it for all the world as if he truly did NOT know what Sasuke was talking about. Sasuke snorted.

~“Keep telling yourself that aniki, keep telling yourself that…no one but YOU is buying it.” Sasuke replied and dropped the subject. There was teasing and then there was prying and Sasuke knew where to draw the line.

~”So did sunshine keep you up last night little brother?” Itachi asked, changing the subject and thankful that Sasuke let him, not that he was stupid, he knew almost everyone in the Uchiha household knew of his relationship and his deep feelings for Anko. But he was doing his best to keep it on the down low, not because he WANTED to, but because he knew if it came out into the open, Anko would pull back and stop what they already had. She may be a strong willed and scary person when need be, but deep down, she was a female with a soft core that feared letting others know her fears, her worries, her heart. She only ever let Itachi see that part of her, and on occasion Naruto. But with Naruto it was hard not to slip in front of him, he had this way about him that just made you want to tell all your secrets to.

~”He snored.” was all Sasuke said as he took a sip of coffee and looked out the window into the lovely courtyard beyond. Itachi refrained from smirking evilly.

~”Odd….he wasn’t snoring when I checked in on you two during the night.” Itachi stated without much emotion, as if it were an everyday comment. Sasuke whipped his head back to glare at his older brother, something he should know better than to do, it was a sure indicator of admitting to something that he would not usually admit to. His evil older brother always did this to him. The bastard.

~”In fact you two looked rather cozy and content last night….if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes I would never have thought you were one to smile in your sleep little brother.” Itachi teased, making Sasuke want to punch him in his smug face, but instead he gritted his teeth.

~”I am surprised you managed to find the time to check in on us aniki, seeing as Anko did not leave your room till this morning, just before I came downstairs as a matter of fact.” was Sasuke’s reply and both brooding brothers glared at each other, their eyes communicating that neither wanted to continue along either line of discussion and it would be best to let it drop. Luckily just before either could say another word, the first of their guests arrived, oddly enough from the kitchen.

~Both brothers, looked at Chouji with lifted eyebrows as he came out wearing an apron and laid a huge place of what looked like steamed fish with vegetables. Chouji saw them and his round pink cheeks got a bit brighter at their twin looks.

~”Good morning Sasuke, Itachi, hope you do not mind but I woke up early and was speaking with Master Teuchi as he was preparing breakfast, one thing led to another and I found myself unable to resist the opportunity to cook in such a well organized kitchen with such a fabulous cook.” explained Chouji as he set the dish down and unwrapped the apron from his waist.

~”Of course not Chouji, you are welcome to do as you wish while you are here, if you desire to feed us, then do not let us stop you from such a generous endeavor.” replied Itachi in that well mannered tone of his. Before Chouji could reply or anyone say anything else they heard a loud snort coming from the entrance way of the dinning area.

~”God do you ALWAYS have to talk like that Lu? I swear you sound like some stuck up prick……oh wait…..you are one.” teased Naruto with a yawn as he headed for the side board and grabbed himself a cup of juice, he had, had some of the Uchiha special roast coffee before and he had been so amped up that he had been banned from the stuff from that day on. But it didn’t stop him from glancing at the pot and contemplating on grabbing a cup anyhow, I mean come on! The stuff was GOOD and he was not a morning person, he could really use a pick me up, especially after the night he had, had.

~”Touch that urn dobe and I will personally hog tie you, and throw you in a closet.” deadpanned Sasuke, noticing the glance Naruto had given the coffee carafe. His dobe was not hard to read, and he would kill Naruto before he had to deal with a too hyper, caffeinated blond for a whole day.

~”Kinky bastard.” Naruto mumbled, thinking no one had heard him, but Itachi had and he quirked an eyebrow at his little annoying ray of sunshine.

~”What?” Naruto asked when he turned around and sat at the table with his juice, seeing the look Itachi was giving him.

~”I’m debating on all the wonderful plots I have to punish you for your stuck up prick comment sunshine.” Itachi replied, giving the blond an evil little smirk that had Naruto gulping as those dark eyes looked at him and that tug at the corner of his lips pulled into a really demonic sort of smile.

~”Hey, hey you know I was just kidding Lu, no need to get all fire and brimstone on me.” Naruto rambled, waving his arms around in a placating, calm the HELL down gesture.

~”Good morning Naruto.” greeted Chouji with a huge smile, he found the odd banter between the blond and ravens homey and amusing.

~”Morning Chouji.” Naruto replied, flashing the boy a brilliant million watt smile.

~Just then kitchen staff come out and started to pile the side board with various plates of food and other delicacies. Naruto stared at all the food and watched it pile up as his eyes grew glazed and his mouth hung open in anticipation, a little drool, finding its way to the corner of his mouth.

~”I see we are just in time to share the new morning meal with our new youthful companions!” came the cheery reply of the green turtle neck, green cargo panted boy with too huge eyes and lush bushy brows. His roommate and lover was close at his heels and he was the total OPPISITE of his lover, pale, bright red hair and NO eyebrows. And a grumpy frown upon his face, another not morning person it seemed.

~”Uhgg…..too early Lee.” Stated Shikamaru as he walked in still sleepy eyed, behind Gaara and Lee. But then again the very high IQ’ed, pony tailed boy always looked to be sleepy, even in the middle of the afternoon.

~”Just because your not a morning person doesn’t mean that we are all like you Shika dude, so give bushy brows a little slack.” piped up Kiba as he walked in behind Shikamaru, looking well rested and totally ready for the day. Kiba was definitely a morning person and he was with Lee, good friends, great food and a honking mansion to play in ALL day long, life was great!

~”My thanks Kiba my friend!” Lee chirped happily.

~”Oh God please don’t encourage him Kiba.” moaned Shika as he got a glass of juice and sat down on the table, slumping in his chair.

~”Leave Lee alone or I shall be forced to hurt you Nara.” stated Gaara in that cold, emotionless tone, that could put even Itachi to shame. Gaara grabbed some of the coffee and a small smile could be seen on his face upon his first taste of the exotic brew.

~”You like?” Itachi asked with a smirk as he took another sip of his own. Gaara nodded slightly as he drank more of the tastiest coffee he had ever had.

~”Oh Lord please tell me that Naruto didn’t get his hands on any caffeine?” cut in Kiba, looking horrified at Naruto as he began to fill a plate up with every dish he could fit onto his plate. He was a growing boy after all and he and food were VERY good friends.

~”Shut up dog breath!” snarled a cranky blond, who glared at his more noisy and social best friend.

~”I take that as a NO.” Kiba smiled as he came to the table with a huge plate of various dishes.

~”And quit hogging all the food you bottomless pit you!” Naruto shouted as he stood up and grabbed himself a plate and began to load up as well, it was like he feared Kiba would eat it all, which was pretty impossible since there was A LOT of food.

~”Look who’s talking Blondie.” laughed Kiba as he dug into his own plate. Soon after Shino showed up and he too joined the other in eating a hearty breakfast as they all talked and tried to figure out what they would all do for the day.

~By the end of breakfast, most of them were undecided, well mostly they had all pretty much decided what they wanted to do, but most of it was not was not what EVERYONE wanted to do as a group. Shikamaru wanted to wander the gardens and just find a nice place to laze about watching the clouds, it was such a beautiful day outside and the gardens were humungous and gorgeous. As for Gaara and Lee they wanted to spend some time sparring in the dojo Itachi had told them about, both were avid martial arts fanatics and relished sparring against each other, after a spar they thought hike in the woods that surrounded the Uchiha compound sounded great.

~”If you do not mind I would rather like to wander the ground and see what sort of insect life can be found in this area.” added Shino, always thinking of expanding his knowledge and collection of bugs, he was studying to be an entomologist after all. Itachi nodded, giving him permission to do as he wished, and cautioned him to be careful that there were actually a few poisonous insects reported to be found in this particular area. Shino agreed to be cautious but the look on the part of his face that was visible told them that he found it rather exciting and couldn’t wait. No one noticed the look that briefly crossed Naruto’s face at the mention of poisonous insects. It bought back all the horrible nightmares he had had during the night. He still hadn’t forgotten how close he had come to loosing his best friend, and the thought of not having Sasuke around to bug the hell out of him made an ache in his chest hurt to the point of being almost unbearable.

~”What’s wrong sunshine?” Itachi asked, having noticed the look that had crossed the blonds face, before he masked it with his ever present happy façade.

~”Nothings wrong Lu.” Naruto replied, flashing the older Uchiha that grin of his.

~”So what do you want to do today dobe?” Sasuke asked, wondering if there was something he had missed between his blond and his brother.

~”I say we hit the basketball court, maybe take in some skeet shooting, do a few laps in the pool, soak a bit in the hot tub, although I still think having some chicks here would have been a lot exciting, especially my girl, then grab some lunch and after lunch do some time in the gym, some sparring in the dojo, another soak in the hot tub, dinner and afterwards play a few games, watch a few movies or play some billiards before we hit the sack.” came the very long itinerary from Kiba, who looked up to see everyone looking at him.

~“What?” he asked with a mouthful of food now.

~”Wow…thought about this much have you dog breath?” Naruto said in an awed almost amazed sort of look.

~”Excuse me Kiba but I am sure I was asking the dobe not you.” Sasuke glowered, but admittedly, if no one but himself, it sounded like a pretty good plan, besides nothing was written in stone, they could always change and do what ever it was that tickled their fancy.

~”Well excuse me for adding in my two cents…..I was just trying to help asshole.” Kiba griped.

~”Now now children, settle down….I really do not care what you all decide to do, as long as you leave me be, I have a lot of homework to do before we head back to the University tomorrow and I would like to have uninterrupted silence, understood?” Itachi added as he stood up with a last sip of his coffee.

~”Don’t forget to lock your room door Lu, wouldn’t want anyone to walk in on you and…..your studying…..” Naruto added in a mocking tone and only giggles when Itachi shot him a glare, letting him know that he knew what Naruto was talking about and if he did not shut his mouth now there would be major consequences to pay later on.

~”Ya ya I know, painful retribution and an eternity of pain…got it Lu….side….wouldn’t want anyone walking in and being scarred for the rest of their life by the sight of your pasty white ass.” Naruto added with great hilarity in his voice as he jumped out of his seat and left the room before Itachi could get his hands around his tanned little neck and wring it till he stopped breathing. Itachi just shook his head in exasperation and huffed indignantly as he left the dinning area to a few concealed but still noticeable snickers and grins. The biggest of those grins and what not were Sasuke’s, he loved it when his brother got a bit of what he dished out, and Naruto was so good at riling his brother up and getting away Scot free. Something Sasuke envied at times.

AN-Okies here is the next chapter, not much action as usual but hope it is still enjoyable to read. Still hoping to the good stuff soon, but as I write this, this is what comes out. So hopefully you can bare with me and we will soon get to the gist of things k? Thanks, huggles and smiles Mija.
