"Agh! Damnit Akamaru what'd you do with my bag?" Kiba asked irritated that his abnormally large dog, Akamaru, had once again hid his backpack. He needed to start his homework, even though he hated it with a passion, or else his mom and sister would kick his ass again for not doing it.

The door bell rang signaling a visitor making him stumble over the end table he passed as he walked towards the door. He cursed as his toed began to throb with a numb pain and quickly unlocked the door and opening it without looking.

"Yeah yeah what do you want?"

"Kiba" was the pitiful answer making the brunette snap his head towards the boy outside. Shining blue eyes were dulled and red and his composure was an unnaturally pale color.

"God Naruto what happened? Come on in." he moved over allowing the blond to come in. His steps were dead quiet like he wasn't even walking through the house as he sat down not fully relaxing into the plush couch like he normally would when he came over.

Kiba got no reply and sighed closing the door and locking it. His family would be out for a while so he had the house to himself and Akamaru thankfully, he didn't want them crowding the poor blond asking him about what happened making him worse by trying to comfort him without giving him some sort of space. Making some tea quickly he pushed one in front of the quiet blond who nodded his thanks and took a small sip.

'Can't taste anything.' he thought inwardly chuckling dryly still not looking his best friend in the eyes.

"You wanna tell me what's wrong?" he asked slowly unsure if the blond would actually want to talk right now.

Naruto didn't react but just shrugged his shoulders like it was no big deal. Brown eyes narrowed and he shot up suddenly from his spot beside the blond.

"Naruto! What happened? I can't or try at least help you if you won't tell me what the fuck happened to you!"

That got a reaction, but not the one he was sure he actually wanted. The blond stood as well glaring at Kiba sorrowfully and hatefully.

"Sasuke cheated on me okay!! Happy now?!" he yelled, tears, he had long thought were over, spilled forth in bundles and hid his face with his hands sobbing.

Kiba just stood there shocked and when it had finally sunken in he growled, making Akamaru whimper and hide a little. He grabbed the shaking blond and pulled him into his chest hugging Naruto in a tight yet gentle embrace. Tearful blues widened and tears finally stopped from the shock.

"That bastard!" he snarled, anger welling in his chest making him tighten his grip on Naruto. He turned the shorter teen's face up to his looking at the remaining tears in his shocked orbs there making his want to get revenge against the raven triple. But seeing the fear in those soft, innocent features made him calm down enough.

"Can you tell me what happened or is that something you need time for?" he questioned happy to see the boy look less fearful from his outburst of anger before.

"I just can't...not right now after all that’s happened today." he said shaking his head.

Kiba nodded showing the blond to the guest bedroom knowing he needs to get some well needed rest and maybe a shower from running all the way to his house.

So while the blond was in the shower he made a quick call to a certain 'someone' who definably would want to know what happened to their bundle of joy.

'Come on! Pick up pick up!' he mumbled

A click was heard followed by a cheerful konbanwa.

“Sayuri! Thank Kami your there.” He sighed in relief.

“The one and only.” She laughed “So what’s so important that you called this late?” you could almost hear the smile in her voice. Kiba probably would have laughed knowing that she most likely was but right now it was serious.

He bit his lip wondering if its right to tell the blond’s sister what happened and the news Naruto just informed him about. Dismissing the thought of not telling her he went on.

“Naruto’s over here and I think you might want to come over and be with him for support.” He told her. Dead silence met him and he almost thought the line became disconnected and even checked his phone to see when suddenly a menacing voice spoke out drawing him back to the phone.

“What…happened?” she spoke making him repress a shudder. Damn she was scary when needed, even over the phone!

He began to explain what happened when Naruto got there. After finishing he thought he heard something snap before a very pissed off and loud reply was heard.

“THAT FUCKING BASTARD!! I’M GOING TO KILL HIM!!!” She screamed almost blowing Kiba’s eardrums out. She continued her rant about castrating him, which had Kiba covering his groin thankful he wasn’t Sasuke at the moment or at all, and doing all sorts of things to get back at him before he meets death.

“Yeah so you might wanna come over and-“

“Thanks for letting me use your shower Kiba.” A weary voice said coming towards him from the hallway.

Kiba spun around quickly and almost had to suppress a sudden and very violent nosebleed from occurring. Before him stood, what he thought and would call Naruto, sex god in that tanned body. His body wasn’t overly muscular and had just the right amount to make him still look attractive and sort of curved making him look sort of like a girl, don’t let Naruto know Kiba thought that, with water from the shower still running down his body.

Blond strands stuck to his face, taming his ever wild hair lightly and making him exotic with his whisker like scars. Blue orbs, still slightly dulled, shone with brilliance making the brunette’s heart clench and beat uncontrollably. His throat had become instantly dry at the sight and swallowed a VERY small blush tinting his cheeks.

“Yeah no problem” He answered before returning his attention quickly to, the momentarily forgotten, Sayuri. “Need to go, bye.” He hung up and looked back at Naruto’s confused expression.
“Who was that?” he asked tilting his head to the side cutely.

‘He looks like a small fox.’ He thought wanting to take a picture. Shaking his head of the distraction he just ushered Naruto into the guest bedroom to get changed so he wouldn’t catch a cold.

“I’m not two you know.” He said pouting. Kiba suddenly had to resist the urge to claim those pouting lips and coughed.

“Well you sure as hell act that way.” He joked trying to act normal while ruffling damp blond strands of hair.

“I do not you jerk!” he swatted the brunette’s hand away and stalked away huffing in annoyance. The other teen laughed and also took a shower of his own before heading off to bed.

It was almost around eleven now and Naruto was laying flat on his back against the headboard. The curtains were pulled apart letting the moon shine in giving him an almost angelic glow around him. Silent tears fell down his face as he went over the past events from today continuously in his head over and over again.

“Damnit!” he cursed clutching the blankets and punching it a couple times.

A knock at the door resounded through the empty house. The blond, being the oblivious wonder we all love, took no notice of it.

Kiba’s heavy steps sounded in the hallway and a muffled ‘Coming!’ through the door.

As soon as the door was unlocked a very pissed and angry Sayuri barged right on in making her way through the house. Slamming open the guest bedroom she looked around until she spotted the tearful blond on the bed gaping at her.

“Say- Sayuri!?” confused as to why she suddenly showed up. ‘Is she psychic or something?’ when he noticed that she was staring at his tears he quickly tried wiping them away. Quick steps made their way over to the blond and slender yet strong arms grasped the teen and pulled him into her bosom and hugged him tightly.

“Naruto” was all the soft gentle voice said before his walls broke down and a turret of tears fell.

“Shh I’m here Naru-Chan I’m here.” She rubbed his back and massaged his scalp soothingly trying to calm the weeping boy. Kiba stood in the door way looking in forlornly unable to do anything but watch. He decided to make some tea for the three of them and made his way to the kitchen. This was gonna be a long night.

As Naruto quieted down he pushed back to wipe some last stray tears before looking Sayuri in the eyes. Crimson eyes held worry, hate and compassion within them.

“Please tell me what happened exactly Naru, I can’t help or understand you if you don’t tell me.” Placing soft hands on scarred cheeks rubbing them slightly he was grateful for the ‘no-pitying’ look and talk from her. Pity was something he could definably do without.

“I really don’t want to say Say-Chan” her heart almost broke hearing her brother say that. He used to call her that as a child but now that he was really ‘grown up’ he hardly ever said it anymore. So hearing him say it now when he was in pain and heart-broken crushed her.

She grinded her teeth seething ready to tear a young Uchiha’s head off and whoever else it was that hurt her precious brother. Oh yes they would pay dearly for hurting someone precious to her. She wasn’t an ex-delinquent leader for nothing.

“I swear Naruto if you weren’t the most stubborn sibling in the world then Kyuu and I wouldn’t be the dangerous ex-leaders of the black shadow’s gang.” She paused noticing the flinch and sudden stiffness at hearing their elder sibling’s name. ‘He wouldn’t?!’ she hissed inwardly her crimson eyes darkening to a darker blood color.

Unfortunately Kiba had the bad luck of walking in at that moment as Sayuri stood up suddenly drawing Naruto out of his thoughts.

“Answer me truthfully now Naruto the question I’m about to ask you alright?” bangs covered her eyes and the blond gave an uneasy nod as an affirmative. “Was Kyuubi involved in ANY way with that young Uchiha bastard cheating on you?” he winced hearing the heavily covered amount of hate hidden within her voice reluctant to tell her yes.

She punched the wall right next to her and Naruto by the headboard of the bed creating a hole and cracks throughout it. “Answer me Naruto!” she demanded and pain/anger filled blue orbs narrowed at her and he bolted up as well, Sayuri not flinching from the sudden movement.

“YES FINE! KYUUBI WAS THE OTHER PERSON HE CHEATED ON ME WITH HAPPY!?” he yelled panting with sudden adrenaline. Sayuri’s eyes were wide but masked, her emotions carefully hidden from the blond. Kiba stood there and gaped at the sudden information. ‘The fucking bastard!’ he growled fully prepared to join Sayuri in her quest for vengeance against them.

Her eyes hardened noticing Naruto’s slip up when he yelled out not noticing that he just gave away information he had wanted to keep to himself and away from his sister, afraid of what she’ll do to the cheating bastards.

“There was ANOTHER person involved?” she growled softly and practically chipped some teeth by how hard she clenched her jaw shut at the boy’s solemn nod. Taking a deep breath trying to calm her now throbbing headache she looked Naruto in the eyes.

“Who else was there Naru? And please don’t lie I need to know and you need to get this off your chest.” She said and pulled Naruto down on the bed with her and motioned Kiba over with the quickly cooling tea. After taking a few gulps Naruto continued, Kiba sitting down on his other side.

He sighed deeply staring at the wooden flooring before answering with a soft mumbled “Itachi” still not looking up after speaking the truth. I crack of someone’s knuckle resounded through the eerily quiet room and dull blues looked up to see his best friends knuckles white and clenched tightly.

“Tell us the whole story of what happened…please.” Kiba finally asked softly looking at Naruto with concern in his eyes. The teen reluctantly gave in after a few moments and began telling them what happened starting from when he was finally getting back home.

Their calm peaceful life was about to get all that more difficult.

As Kyuubi and Itachi sat there on the bed still watching Sasuke and thinking of some sort of plan the youngest Uchiha suddenly started grabbing his clothes and began getting dressed getting their attention.

“Sasuke what are you doing?” Kyuubi asked hoping he’s not doing what he thinks the raven plans on doing.

“What does it look like?” he hissed “I’m going to find Naruto and try and talk to him and tell him the truth. About everything!” looking around for his sneakers he suddenly noticed the canvas that the blond had dropped onto the floor.

“Sasuke that probably not the best plan of action to take right now.” Itachi sigh knowing full well that if he could he would just run over and take their blond angel into his embrace and tell him the truth as well hoping for forgiveness. But sadly things don’t work out that way in life.

Suddenly Sasuke just fell to his knees and began shaking. They both went over to the boy as soon as he feel and saw what he was looking at. Itachi felt a new wave of pain wash over his heart and Kyuubi suddenly felt ill.

The picture was of him and Sasuke sitting by a tree on a hill where they used to play as children with Sasuke laying against the tree with the blond in his arms both smiling contently. At the bottom of the hill they could see both Kyuubi and Itachi standing on a bridge and looked to be chuckling at something they were talking about.

Sayuri was up in a nearby tree by the bridge smiling down at a sleeping Gaara who was at the base of it. Out in the open field Kiba, Ino, Lee and some of their other friends were running around doing whatever it was that they did with a lone Neji letting his fingers play amongst the waters end.

They were brought out of their dazed hurt when the young raven choked out a quiet question.

“How long then….How long must we wait to try and get our Naruto back and tell him why?” he sobbed. Itachi softly hugged his hurting Otōto and picked him up bringing him over to their bed to lie down. Kyuubi carefully brought the canvas up into his arms and placed it by the nearby wardrobe before joining them.

As Itachi spooned their sobbing lover Kyuubi gently caressed his hair lulling him into a deep sleep.

“He’s right you know.” Kyuubi said after a while watching Sasuke sleep before wiping a few fallen tears from his face softly.

“I know” Itachi sighed rubbing a hand through his hair “He probably needs some time to get his head straight and calm down.” He finished looking at Kyuubi. Onyx and golden eyes clashed in some understanding. Growling in frustration Kyuubi flopped onto the bed, his crimson long hair falling everywhere.

“But what happens if he finds someone else during that time?” he pushed knowing full well that could happen bringing another stabbing pain through both their chests.

Itachi slowly closed his eyes, the stress of today finally taking its toll, before answering softly.

“I honestly don’t know Kyuu.” before sleep took them quickly haunting their dreams with a blond haired blue eyed angel walking away again and again into a black abyss.
