Together Forever

A/N: If you didn't read last time, this takes place in Manga chapter 307.

Now, I was going to make this 5-7 chapters long, but I like how this chapter ends. I decided to have a cute, innocent ending instead of my origanal. That's why it took longer than expected to post.

Warnings: Some Naruto whining, a little violence, a dash of Uchiha emotions, and a pinch of Kisame stupidity.

LadyRonin: I don't like reading death fics either, but this would not leave my head. I'm glad somebody understood what I meant in this.

solitare1: You're probably right. I could have written more, but it was 5:00 in the morning, and my mind refused to let me sleep until I got everything out and posted.

A Promise Kept

"Saaaaasukeeee! You promised!" Naruto whined, using his new and improved Uzumaki Puppy Pout.

"So did you, dobe." Sasuke gave Naruto the Uchiha Death Glare. But this one was much scarier than the one Naruto had grown up with.

Five minutes passed, nobody saying a thing, leaving the boys to stare at each other.
Naruto took his Pout to the next level. The fake tears.
The Glare's second stage. Spinning Sharingan.
Time for the third stage of the Pout. Naruto clasped his hands under his chin, effectivly showing off the friendship bracelets.
There was no Glare third stage. Instead, the Pout's third stage caused the Glare to soften.

The Uchiha Death Glare always loses against the Uzumaki Puppy Pout.

Noticing the change in expression, Sakura took the chance to speak. "Sasuke-kun, will you come home now?"

That statement brought Sasuke back from his memories. "No. I severed all bonds to the Leaf Village -and its occupants- years ago."

"All bonds?" Naruto asked. "If that's true, then why am I still alive? Why is there a Leaf Village insigna on your shorts? Why did your glare disappear when you saw the bracelets? If you servered all bonds with me, then why did Sai catch you sleeping with Yena-chan?"

The last statement caught Sasuke off-guard, and his cheeks turned red before he could stop it. In a flash, Sasuke was in front of Naruto, on hand on his shoulder, the other holding his katana. "I made a promise." Uchiha gently grabbed the wrist with the Night of the New Moon on it, then leaned over so his mouth was by Naruto's ear. "And I intend to keep it... This will sting."

Sakura was growling at how close the boys were, but a hand on her shoulder reminded her that she was on a mission.

"Just do it, bastard."

Sasuke appeared behind Naruto and stuck his sword through his chest, missing vital organs. Before anybody could interfere, he extended the katana and enlongated it, sending a chidori right into Orochimaru's chest.

Taking the sword out of Naruto as painlessly as possible, Sasuke stayed next to him until the wound healed. The others were already fighting Kabuto and Orochimaru. Needless to say, everybody -besides Kabuto- was surprised when the Sannin turned into a snake.

Naruto lashed out first. He was going to slash it's throat, but realized that he didn't know where a snake's throat was. So he settled on a spot a few inches below it's mouth.

While the others were preocupied with Kabuto, Sasuke began to walk off.

"Sasuke?" Naruto looked after the other's retreating back. "Oi, teme! Where are you going?"

"I'm not finished yet."

"Huh?" 'Itachi.' "Hell no! Get your ass back here!" When Sasuke didn't answer, Naruto once again began to chase after him.

"Dobe, what are you doing?"

"If you won't come with me, then I'll come with you!"

"You're logic never ceases to amuse me."

"Thank you! I think." Naruto cocked his head to the side in confusion as he followed Sasuke.

Shaking his head at Naruto's stupidity, he continued to the place he was supposed to meet Itachi.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kisame stopped the boys and looked at Naruto. "Sorry squirt, but Itachi-san wants Sasuke alone."

"Who are you calling squirt, Fish-sticks!" Naruto yelled.

"My name is Kisame! Not that you'll be around long enough to care."

"Huh?"

Sasuke walked past the two idiots, towards his brother.

"You're the Kyuubi brat. Itachi-san and I are supposed to capture you. When we do that, you're going to die," Kisame explained in a calm voice.

"Ha! There's no way you'd be able to kill me, Fish-sticks."

"What makes you say that, squirt? Do you honestly think that you can beat me?"

"Of course I can! Because I refuse to die until I become Hokage!"

Kisame took his sword off his back. "Prove it, squirt."

"Bring it on, Fish-sticks."

Kisame made a swipe with his Samehada, singling the begining of the fight. (A/N: I suck at fight scences. Therefore, I'm going to let your imagination take over until Kisame has his stupid moment.)

Naruto was grinning in his mind. Kisame was a good fighter, he just didn't pay attention as to where the fight was. The blond ducked when Kisame swung his sword, causing the person behind him to get hit. That person happened to be Itachi, who was too busy with his genjutsu fight to notice anything around him.

The hit snapped Itachi, therefor Sasuke, out of the genjutsu as the older Uchiha flew across the room. Naruto burst out in laughter, as did Sasuke once he figured out what was going on. Kisame stood there with a horrified look on his face.

"I...Ita...Itachi-san?" Kisame asked in a small voice. "Are you okay?" He took a few steps closer to the unmoving body.

"Kisame," Itachi growled out.

"Yes Itachi-san?"

"When I'm done with Sasuke, I'm going to Tsukuyomi your ass."

Kisame gulped audibly and took a few steps back. "But..Itachi-san...I...It...the Kyuubi brat...."

"The Kyuubi brat is just that. A brat. You're an S-class missing nin."

Sasuke had finally quite laughing, but couldn't stop the smile. "While that was amusing, we have a fight to finish, aniki."

"Hn." Itachi knew his chances of winning had lowered. He had a useless left arm, a throbing headach, and his eyes were going fuzzy. What is a Sharingan user supposed to do without his eyes? Slowly standing up, Itachi drew his katana.

Due to Itachi's headach, it was difficult for him to see straight. This in turned made the fight much easier for Sasuke.

(Use imagination to end fight scene here. Make sure that Sasuke wins.)

"Now will you come home?" Naruto asked.

"On one condition," Sasuke said as he walked to Naruto.

"What?"

The last Uchiha lifted Naruto's hand, carefully taking off his old friendship bracelet. "Only if we can be together forever."

"You bastard. I had to wait three damn years for you to say that again. You're lucky I didn't give up."

"Is that a yes?"

Naruto pulled Sasuke closer to him. They were about the same hight now, which made things a lot easier. Leaning closer, but still giving Sasuke room to move, the blonde kitsune kissed him. Sasuke froze, but carefully kissed back.

Smiling, Naruto pulled away. "That's a yes, Sasuke-teme."

The others caught up just in time to see Sasuke pull Naruto into another, more passionate, kiss. Sai had to hold Sakura back.

"Is that how they express their bond?" he asked.

Nobody answered. They were too busy with nosebleeds from seeing the two boys strip each other. Even Sakura had calmed down.

Feeling eyes on him, Naruto looked to his left. His eyes went wide. "Uh...Sasuke."

"What?"

All Naruto could do was point. Following his finger, Sasuke saw Team Kakashi staring. "Eh. Let them watch."

"Wha..." Naruto's question was interupted by a gasp, followed by a moan.

You were expecting a sex scene, weren't you? Well, while I would love to give you one, it would turn out like crap. Sorry.
