The Darkest Moments

I stepped out onto the porch yawning and stretching. I sat down in my pajama's and watched the sunrise.

I wiped my sleepy eyes on my sleeve. This was not proper for an Uchiha, but it was early and no one would see, so I didn't care.

I froze up as I heard the door behind me click and slide open. 'Busted!' I thought when I heard footsteps coming to beside me.

"Morning, Sasuke." The other man replied. I turned to look at who it was.

I sighed with relief. "Morning, Shisui." I smiled, Shisui had caught me before, but he never turned me in.

A second later I was wondering the same question that I always wondered when he was here so early. "What are you doing over here so early?" I asked.

"I had to talk to Itachi about some ANBU stuff." The other male smiled brightly.

"Ugh." I said distastefully. "You and My aniki have been meeting secretly in the middle of the nigh, for months!" I said pointing at him. "I know you aren't talking about ANBU things, or you'd talk about them somewhere more private where no one could possibly overhear you." I scowled at him. Usually I would have been really nice to Shisui, but he and Itachi had been hiding something from me for months, and they usually told me everything, so this secrecy was pissing me off.

"Aw, you'll find out later." Shuisui patted me on the head before walking in the direction of his house.

Naruto walked down the street, It was one of the rare occasions, when he had enough money to get more than ramen.

He chanted his shopping list in his mind, "Eggs, Milk, Rice, Apples," He was completely unaware of everything but the road and the store he was approaching.

He dug around in his pocket looking for him little change purse. He fantically searched his whole outfit when he couldn't find it.

"Usurantankachi." A voice called.

Naruto turned to look at Sasuke glaring at him, "What do you want Uchiha?" Naruto scowled at the raven.

"You dropped this." Sasuke held out Naruto's frog change purse.

"Thanks." The blonde grumbled, taking the frog and preceeding to pore over the apples looking for a ripe one that was not bruised.

Naruto found a shining red apple and put it on the counter Sasuke tapped Naruto on the shoulder.

"What now, teme?" Naruto asked turning to the Uchiha.

"The apple you picked," Sasuke motioned to said fruit. "It has worms." He looked at the fruit and poited to a hole in the apple, and like on cue, A green worm's head popped out the hole.

"Ew." Naruto said and put the apple back. "I'll never trust thier apples again." He walked past the shop. Sasuke stayed behind and watched the blonde go.

Sasuke picked up the apple naruto had discarded and put some money on the counter for the shopkeeper.

"Well, I know that no one will get worms because of this." Sasuke said to himself and threw the apple in a nearby trash can.

Sasuke looked over his shoulder to see Naruto was talking to himself at the rice shop.

The kyuubi swung a tail and looked at Naruto bemused. "Your so mean to him," The kyuubi picked at something in his teeth. "But, if i'm right, your friends aren't you?" The kyuubi grinned with it's sharp teeth.

"No, we aren't." Naruto glared inwardly at the fox.

"Aw, but I think you are." The fox scraped his claws on the floor of his cage. "See, I've been sifting through your memories, and i've discovered some very interesting things about you and that Uchiha boy." The fox smiled.

"Like what?" Naruto said to the fox and took a bag of rice off the shelf and paying the cashier.

"You gave you first kiss to him." The kyuubi smiled.

"Big deal, It was and accident, and everyone knows about that." Naruto told the fox as he walked to the next store and got eggs and milk.

"He and you used to meet at a peer by his house, and talk for hours and hours, about seemingly nothing." The fox was determined to get under his vessles skin.(figuratively on course)

"That was a long time ago." Naruto said casually and walked back to his house.

"How about, you used to wake up in the middle of the night from a nightmare about people dying, and you'd scream his name, because he was the only one who you thought you could talk to." The kyuubi tried a more intimate memory to break his vessle.

Naruto took a deep breath, "That was a very long time ago." He replied and went in his house and started stocking the cupboards.

"Well, what about when you cried all day when he told you to go away?" The kyuubi asked hoping this would make his vessle at least falter.

"Dammit! Shut the hell up you stupid fox! You live to make me pissed off, don't you?!" Naruto picked up the closest item to him, A heavy pot, and threw it accross the room. It hit the wall and left a small hole.

Kyuubi curled in a ball and tried looking cute. He knew he'd crossed the line and he was going to get shut off from seeing the real world if he couldn't get the blonde boy back to just moderately hating him. However, looking cute and being a 200ft demon with bloodred eyes and a hundred razor sharp teeth, was very hard to do.

"Don't even try." Naruto said and a black barrier mentally formed between Naruto and the fox.

I watched the other man walk for a minute before I stood up, "If your screwing my brother, it's not like i'm gonna care!" I yelled at Shisui.

The other man disaperated then reaperated beside me. "What did you say, Sasuke?" Shisui bent until he was eye level with me.

"If your fucking my brother, wich I am pretty sure you are, I don't care. Half the clan is in love with my brother male and female, and more than half of the village is, it's nothing knew to me, I here people talk about it all the time." I looked the other male in the eye.

"A boy your age shouldn't talk like that." Shisui riprmanded. "And for your information, we are no-" Shisui began, but I cut accross him.

"Explain to me a few things then," I said staring deeply into his eyes, "My brother never takes his hair out of his ponytail, ever, even when he's sleeping. I've went into his room after you've left and he's had his hair down. I asked him about it, and he said he took it down because you liked it better down." Sasasuke presented exhibit A.

Shisui was at a loss for words, so SAsuke continued. "One time you came over wearing a shirt with an undershirt that matched, but when you left, you didn't have an undershirt." Exhihbit B.

"That's enough." Shisui said. "I am not intimate with your brother, and for your information, He's not fucking me, he's killing me." Shisui disaperated, leaving me stunned and speechless.

I walked inside and down to Itachi's room looking for some answers to new-found questions.

"Nii-san?" I said pushing open the door. As always after Shisui's visits, he was tying his hair back up in the ponytail.

"Yes, Sasuke?" He asked as he pulled on a pair of sandals.

I talked to shisui just now, we said some stuff, and He said you were killing him, what did he mean?" I asked stepping inside.

"I told him he'd be the first one to slip up." Itachi smiled to himself. "We've been trying to keep this secret, but I guess you could know." Itachi patted the bed motioning for Sasuke to sit. "Do you know there are more stages of sharingan than the ones we have?" Itachi asked looking at his little brother.

I shook my head.

"Well, there are." Itachi smiled. "I am trying to attain the Mangyeko Sharingan and Shisui is helping me." Itachi pushed a stray hair behind his ear.

Iopened my mouth to ask how,but Itachi put a hand up to stop the question.

"That's all I can tell you right now. I'll tell you more later." Itachi smiled.

"Okay." I said and went back to my room
