The Only One For Me

You know the drill don't own 'em so don't sue me!

Back To Life….Back To Reality

Naruto found himself floating to consciousness and once there he was not sure he was ready to face anything. When he felt the hand upon his brow he lifted his eyes to those of Itachi. For one startling moment fear gripped him until he realized that this dark gaze was different from the one that had brought him so much pain through out his life. It was then that his emotions seemed to overwhelm him all at once, and recalling the words of Kuyuubi he slowly sat up while reaching out for the one man that his body seemed to recognize as safe.


Itachi held the slight blond in his arms as he shook with his sobs. He vowed with every tremor that his brother would come to know agony one thousand times worse that this. Tracing his hands in soothing circles he waited for his sun to calm. When the sobs had slowly receded to hiccups he stilled his motions and pulled this beloved form closer. When he heard what it was that Naruto whispered next he couldn’t help the rage that burned to his very core. “Please Itachi, tell me I am not dirty or used! Tell me I am worthy of love, because I don’t think I could take it if everyone thought I was, I don’t think I could handle it if you thought I was.” Holding back tears of his own Itachi pulled back to look down into Naruto’s eyes when he spoke, “You are to me as you have always been, flawless imperfection. Despite everything you have lived through you still shine as bright as the sun. I know I speak for everyone who cares for you when I say that not one thing of what that monster said to you is true. I will personally see to it that you hear that everyday until you truly believe it.”

Looking up into the determined face before him Naruto saw what it was that he had thought he had seen in Sasuke, that quiet but firm resolve that overlaid such a warm and caring heart. Finally seeing the real thing he couldn’t help but mentally slap himself for not noticing the fakeness of the previous Uchiha. “I think I would like to rest some more, I am tired.” Itachi saw the strained lines around his sun’s mouth and conceded to letting him sleep a little while longer before waking him to eat. Leaning that precious burden back down on the bed he let a small smile tickle the corners of his mouth when he realized that Naruto had fallen asleep before his head had even hit the pillow. Letting the smile fall into a frown he sighed as he pulled back and stood up. He would need to let the others know what Naruto had said, and he would need to stress the complete and utter fragility that would lie beneath the strong front he was sure they would see from him. There was no doubt in his mind how ever that Naruto would recover, he would make it his life long mission to see to it that his sun became once again the brightest face he had ever seen.


Iruka awoke to the sounds of crickets chirping and a faint glow upon the horizon outside his window. He had woken up before dawn once again; with a tired sigh he disentangled himself from the strong arms of his lover and made his way to the bathroom. Turning on the light he twisted on the tap and proceeded to splash cool water upon his face. Feeling sufficiently clear-headed he grabbed for the towel and dried himself, it was definitely the dreams. The dreams he had been having of Naruto calling out to him as he suffered untold atrocities just beyond his minds eye. The sound of his adopted son’s screaming echoing even now in his ears. He had been having these nightmares since Sasuke’s attack upon Naruto ten days ago and he didn’t think they were going to go away any time soon. Quietly he slipped a light blue sleeping yukata over his naked form before making his way to the kitchen. He sincerely hoped he did not wake Kakashi again this morning as he had been out till all hours with a mission. He must have come in just a little while ago because he had gone to bed rather late himself and his love had not been there.


Making himself a pot of coffee and pulling a mug down from the cupboard he sat and watched the liquid brew. Lost in his musings he felt the shame wash over him once more that he was not able to protect his son. Never mind that said son was now the Hokage or that he was the strongest Nin in Konoha, that was no excuse. Silently the tears coursed down his face before he buried it in his hands. All he knew was that Naruto had been seriously injured and that it took everything Sakura had possessed to heal him. What his injuries were he hadn’t a clue, and that just made him feel worse. Today he would demand Itachi let him see him, he needed to reassure his mind that he had not lost that little ray of sunshine that had managed heal his heart and then nestle itself there to stay. He was pulled from his melancholy thoughts abruptly as strong and yet very gentle arms wrapped themselves around his slim form. He felt the lips of his lover caress his temple briefly before he leaned into the embrace. “ Ruka love was it another dream?” He could only nod seeing as how his voice seemed to have deserted him in the memories of the dream he had before waking. “I’m sorry Kashi, I had meant to be quiet so as not to wake you.” He turned in the silver Nin’s arms as he leaned his head back to meet the eyes of his love. What he saw there comforted him; an undying fire full of love and devotion peered back at him. When Kakashi pressed his lips in a kiss he sighed allowing him entrance. He needed this, they hadn’t done anything since Naruto had been hurt, and he had been too wound up. Now he let the familiar feelings of desire rush through him as the arms that held him lifted him up bridal style and they made their way to their bedroom. He whimpered when he felt the reverence with which his lover placed him upon the bed and began to undress him. “Shh love. He will be okay and in the mean time I plan on making you relax the best way I know how.” He let his gaze wander from the mischievous look in the mismatched eyes wander to the very obvious tent in the silky pajama bottoms he bought Kakashi a few months back. He had known the red silk would compliment his love and boy he had been right. Slowly he let his hands wander where his eyes had been but a moment before as he was drawn into another earth shattering kiss.


Kakashi lost himself in the tides of emotions that always seemed to race along his nerve endings whenever he and Iruka made love. Slowly he stripped the beautiful tanned form beneath him while he tried control the urge to just pound this wonderful body beneath his into their futon. He knew Iruka had been having nightmares and a slow tender pace was what his love needed right now. Stepping back from the arms surrounding him he slipped his pants off as Iruka silently pleaded for him to return. He reached for the jar of almond scented oil and uncapped it all the while holding the chocolate brown orbs of his lover. He was going to work Iruka into a mind shattering orgasm if only to allow his precious a few blessed hours of undisturbed sleep. Dipping four fingers into the copious liquid he rubbed at it with his thumb to warm it up, once he felt it had warmed enough he slid a finger to the beautiful pink rosette rubbing slow circles upon it. Using his other hand he began to stroke Irukas throbbing erection to distract him from the pain of the initial penetration. They had not made love in a while and he would need to take his time so as not to hurt the beautiful man beneath him. Still stroking his lover he leaned in to capture the honey flavored lips as he finally slid the first digit inside. He waited until the soft whimpers turned into mewls and groans before sliding a second and a third finger. He continued in his stroking and plundering his lovers mouth before he added the last digit stretching him slowly and finding that one spot that would make him scream in his abandon. Finally he brushed the spongy bundle of nerves and Iruka’s reaction was instantaneous. His lover arched his back completely off the bed and broke off their frantic kissing. “Please…Kashi…onegai…I need you…inside!” Slipping his fingers out he replaced them with his own throbbing length, slowly easing his way inside while placing feather light kisses all over Iruka’ face and neck. When he had become completely encased in his lover’s tight heat he had to hold himself back from the strangling need to climax right then and there. It never failed he mused, no matter how many times they became one like this he was always so humbled by what it was the dark haired Nin gave to him. Beneath him Iruka began to thrust his hips against him in need and Kakashi always willing to give him what he wanted began to move. He set a slow sensual rhythm, each one of his thrusts slowly pushing in only to draw back once again.


Iruka was lost in the sheer erotic pleasure that Kakashi was giving him, he felt that he would go mad if his silver lover didn’t pick up the pace. Opening his mouth to tell him just that the words were turned into a rumbling moan as Kakashi brushed against his prostate, his mind was now swirling in the fiery heat that seemed to consume him. Above him Kakashi opened his eyes to watch the myriad of expressions play upon his lovers face, from frustration to shocked pleasure. He knew that he was close and he wanted Iruka with him when he finally fell over the precipice of this unbelievable passion that they always shared. Grasping Iruka’s member he began to stroke him in time to his thrusts as he sped up the pace, hitting the younger man’s prostate with each and every movement he made inside. Leaning in he kissed the dark haired Nin one more time before pulling back to watch him come. The sweaty blushing countenance of his lover twisted in ecstasy as he came, and Kakashi couldn’t hold back his own release as he felt Iruka’s inner walls contract around him. He let go throwing his head back and arching his back as his hot seed flooded the slight form beneath him before trickling out around his flagging member. His strength drained he gently lowered himself to the panting chest beneath him, “I love you Ruka.” Trembling fingers caressed his face and forced him to look into the dark chocolate eyes he could lose himself in. “Thank you Kashi. I needed that.” Then Iruka kissed his lips soft and sweet bringing him into a tight embrace. Neither wanted to move just bask in the afterglow of the mind blowing orgasm they had just shared but the silver Nin knew that they at least needed to get clean before sleeping a little longer. Pushing himself up and off Iruka he let his now soft organ slip from his lovers entrance and watched as the rest of his seed began to flow out of Iruka and onto the sheets. God that sight would never get old to him! It seemed to just reinforce his mark of possession over the other man. Smiling he lifted Iruka from bed and led him towards the bathroom, “What are you doing now Kashi?” He chuckled when he took in the tired but content and satiated look Iruka gave him, “Well we are going to clean up before laying back down for a few more hours, and when you wake up I am going to make you the best breakfast you have had in a while. When you are done with that then I am going to make love to you again, followed by another shower and then we will go visit our son.” Iruka smiled at him; truly he did not know what he would do without this wonderful being. Kakashi always knew what it was needed even if he didn’t.

Hokage’s Tower

Naruto came awake with a slow lazy awareness, feeling the pain begin to awaken into a dull throb at the base of his spine his memories flooded forward once again. He nearly fell off the bed to escape the touch upon his face. When he realized it was only Iruka and that he was looking at him with a worried expression he let his breathing calm. The trembling however would not subside until Itachi came around to his other side and slid behind him. No it wasn’t until he felt the warm strong embrace of that man did he truly relax. Sighing he looked back upon Iruka once more and saw Kakashi behind him, Naruto was happy to see them but wary of their reaction to him knowing what it was that Sasuke had done to him.

“Naruto what has he done to you?”, asked Iruka in a quiet concerned voice. “I don’t think it’s a…” Naruto interrupted Kakashi with a quick shake of his head, “No I will tell him, he deserves to know.” Kakashi watched as Naruto held in a breath and seemed to draw on the strength of Itachi behind him before he spoke once more. “Iruka sensei I have always thought of you as my parent so I am going to be completely honest with you. I had thought to protect you from the truth of some things but if I can’t protect myself then I don’t see how I could expect to protect anyone else,” fiddling with the blanket Naruto didn’t look up as he continued his tale. “ You see I had Shino and a few others follow up on a tip I had received that Sasuke had been close to Konoha a few weeks ago. When they met up with him it was then that Chouji lost his life and it was Sasuke who took it. It was my fault, if I had seen what…anyways it was then that Itachi came back to Konoha. I know I told everyone some new evidence had come to light that cleared him but only a few knew what that was. Kakashi sensei was one but do not be cross with him for I swore him to secrecy…I wanted to…I needed to protect you and Sakura from the truth. I knew it would be too much for the both of you but I was wrong, I should know by now that I could never keep anything from you. I had Kakashi do a mind check on Itachi and found out the truth to the Uchiha massacre, you see it was never Itachi who had been responsible for the deaths of his family it was Sasuke.” The trembling began again when he started into the next part of his story and he knew he needed to finish this before he couldn’t find the emotional strength to speak. “When I learned of this it was if something inside of me just shriveled up and died, that was when I collapsed I had already been trying to deal with the guilt of sending Chouji to his death and the fact that Sasuke had become Orochimaru’s concubine. I am at fault for Sasuke’s next attack, if I had been stronger…if I had not been the weak fool blinded by emotion…but that is beside the point. Sasuke came here and attacked me as you know, what you do not know is that he…oh kami…he…” Iruka could only watch with a breaking heart as this man before him that had come to be a son to him broke down into hiccupping sobs, while Itachi seemed to pull him closer silent tears running down his own face. “Oh god…Ruka-san…he raped me….he called me dirty…filthy…a whore…he branded me with a whores….oh god…a whores….” He couldn’t even say it so instead he turned pressing his face to Itachi’s chest as he let the sleeping yukata slip down his back. There on his left shoulder laid bare to Kakashi and Iruka was the Uchiha whore brand. His body tensed when he heard the gasp behind him. “I will understand if you no longer want….want…” he finally gave in to the sobs and let them wrack his form as his shame was laid before the two men he most respected.

Iruka saw red, that little bastard had actually branded his son?! How dare he, he would kill him! The only thing keeping him from going after him now was the fear of rejection he could feel pouring off of Naruto. “Oh god Naruto…this is not your fault…never your fault…we should have protected you…. If anyone is to blame it is Sasuke for even thinking he ever had the right to do this to you! If I had him in front of me right now I would not stop beating him until he was nothing but a bloody pulp for what he has done to you. God please know that both Kakashi and I consider you the son we could never have, no one and nothing will ever change that.” Naruto turned to see Iruka and watched the tears make a trail over his face, but it was the shining love inside of those deep brown eyes that finally broke through the fear. Nudging Itachi to let him loose he flung himself into the arms that were wide open to him. Feeling Kakashi joining in on their embrace he felt tears on his neck, he was surprised to see them coming from the silver haired jounin as well.
