Let Go

Enjoy!!!

****

Sakura looked around to make sure she wasn’t followed. She walked up the stone path to end at a woodened door. She knocked; as she waited she looked around and realized that there really weren’t a lot of houses out here. There were maybe 2 or 3 including this one… “Boy, this is out in the boonies” she mumbled.

The door opened and there stood her best friend with the biggest smile on his lips. She ran into his arms. They hugged for what seemed like forever. She hasn’t seen this smile in a year.

Once they separated Naruto lead Sakura into the living room.

Once settled she zeroed green eyes on blue, “ok, what’s going on? You have me going different routes and having me look over my back? What’s happened?” She was concerned. Sakura hadn’t seen Naruto in almost a week.

“I’ve been here most of the time. Other times Sasuke’s driven me to rehearsals. Promise me that you won’t get mad and hit my head…” he remembered the last time he angered his pink haired friend. The bump on his head took a week to go down.

“Ok, you’re scaring me know. Why would I get mad at you…ok I promise.”

Naruto told her everything.

Sakura saw read as she listened. “That bastard!” she hissed when Naruto was finished. “How could he? He seems so…so….”

“Cool,” a deep from supplied from the front door.

“Yeah that’s….” Her eyes widened when she realized that hadn’t been Naruto. She watched as her friend stood and walk into the arms of a raven haired man …

Sasuke looked at Naruto’s friend. “Let me add that he’s an asshole too.” His voice was cold as he spoke about his brother.

Sakura stood and walked over to the pair. When she looked into dark eyes she smiled and placed a kiss on his pale cheek.

Sasuke looked at the woman with wide dark eyes.

“Thank you for taking care of him.” Her voice was soft as she looked into Naruto’s blue eyes.

Naruto smiled. He pulled Sakura into a hug and kissed her cheek, “thanks for coming over.”

Pulling back she smiled, “I am your best friend you idiot.” She laughed as Naruto pouted.

“Hey, I’m not an idiot!”

Sasuke laughed as he pulled him into his arms, “you’re such a cute dobe.”

Naruto wanted to shout back but his lips were captured in a soft kiss.

“Well, I see you too want to be alone, so why don’t I leave you too…”

Pulling away from those soft lips, “wait Sakura-chan, I cooked dinner, so you have to stay.”

“Please stay Sakura.” Sasuke asked.

“Well, I guess I will. Since Naruto cooked and all,” Smiling, she following them into the kitchen.

Itachi sat facing the large picture window inside his study. His mind going over the betrayal he felt. But soon he will have what belongs to him.

The sound of the door open turned the older raven around. He smirked as he saw who walked in.

“About time.”

“Hey, ya lucky I made it here at all.”

The raven’s smirk faded as hard onyx eyes bore into pale amber.

The man saw the look in Itachi’s eyes. He bowed slightly, “I’m sorry Itachi-sama.” His voice was low. He did not want to be on the receiving end of the raven’s wrath.

Standing Itachi walked over to the man bowing to him. Thinking, ‘this is how Naruto is suppose to be.’

“Sasori, I have a job for you.”


**1 week later**


Naruto hadn’t seen Itachi in over a week and frankly he was getting worried. He had a bad feeling that something was about to happen. He has been staying with Sasuke and it has been bliss. He couldn’t remember the last time he’s been this happy. He’s been going to rehearsals all week preparing for Nine Tails concert this weekend. He was so excited.

As Naruto left the rehearsal studio and headed toward the car he stopped. He looked around; it felt like someone was watching him. He’s been having this feeling for a while now, but he hasn’t told Sasuke, he didn’t want to worry him. He wanted him to concentrate on his business and not him so much. Shaking the feeling he got into the car that waited for him and drove towards home.

**The next day**

Sasuke sat in the board meeting and watched everyone file out. Today was a good day for him. The merger went through smoothly. So now he can enjoy the rest of the week with Naruto. As he stood he walked over to the window a small smile lifted his lips. He was actually excited to see Naruto and his band perform again.

As he stared out the window an figure stepped through the door way and into the windows reflection. Dark eyes caught this movement and his lips frowned. Turning around Sasuke pinned obsidian eyes to onyx.

“Well little brother, seems to me you are doing well.” He smirked as he took a seat in one of the leather chairs.

"And you are here why?” Sauske’s voice was controlled anger.

“Oh nothing much, I just want you to return what you took from me that’s all.” The smirk faded as he glared at his younger brother.

“Get the fuck out of here Itachi,”

“Now that’s not very nice little brother. You know you should never cross me.” Itachi stood and headed for the door. He stopped but didn’t turn, “I always get what I want.” He walked out leaving a very pissed off Sasuke alone.

He dialed Naruto’s number on his cell. The blonde picked up on the 2nd ring.

“Hey Sasuke, what’s up?”

Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief, “I just wanted to let you know that I’m leaving now.” Sasuke could hear Naruto’s bandmates in the back ground playing.

“Um, we should be done in another hour. If you want you can come an listen.”

“I’ll be right there.”

“Cool, see ya!” Naruto was smiling as he closed his phone.

Kiba, Nine Tails drummer saw this. “hey blondie, was that your boyfriend???” he made kissing sounds.

Pouting, “shut it dog boy. At least I don’t get kissed by a dog!”

“HEY!”

Everyone was laughing as Kiba chased the blonde around.

~~

Sasuke smirked as he watched the band practice. They sounded great he thought as he listened to Naruto sing. His voice was definitely amazing. No wondering their band was successful.

Naruto looked over to see Sasuke sitting there. He smiled internally at the sight. He hated to do this but he compared the brothers. He couldn’t see Itachi coming to his practices. He hadn’t come once. Speaking of him, he hadn’t told Sasuke that Itachi has been calling and sending him texts for the past week. He didn’t was him to worry about him. He had planed on speaking with Itachi after the concert this weekend. Naruto was going to break it off; he just couldn’t do it anymore. The only person he told was Sakura, well, because she was his best friend.

The drive home was quiet. Sasuke was contemplating telling Naruto that his brother paid him a visit. He decided to tell him, he just wanted him to be careful.

Once inside the house Sasuke pulled the blond into the living room and sat him down.

“Itachi came to my office today.”

Naruto eyes widened, “are you ok? What did he want?”

“He wanted you to come back to him. I told him to leave.”

Taking a deep breath, “he’s been leaving me voice mails and texts this past week.”

Nodding, he knew his brother would do that.

Naruto was waiting for Sasuke to blow. “You’re not upset?”

“Why would I be? I know him and knew that he would try to contact you.” He raised a dark brow, “did something happen?”

‘They are very different,’ Naruto thought. “No, I didn’t want to speak with him.”

Sasuke walked over to him and pulled him into his arms. He placed a chaste kiss on his lips. “Naruto I don’t want you around him. He’s dangerous; please I just want you to be safe.”

The blonde hugged him back. Then he decided that he wasn’t going to speak with him face to face. “Sasuke, I think I need to speak with him, to break it off. I promise I won’t go see him.”

“Good.”

“I think I'll call him after dinner.”

Nodding, the raven led them into the kitchen where they prepared dinner.

After dinner Sasuke went into his office while Naruto sat on the couch and dialed Itachi’s number.

The phone rang then a deep voice answered.

“Hello Itachi.”

“Naruto, so you decided to come to your senses. Just tell me where you are and I’ll come get you.” There was smugness in his voice that Naruto heard.

“No Itachi, you misunderstand. I haven’t been happy for a while. I don’t want to be with you any more.” His voice was soft as the words left his lips.

There was silence on the line. Naruto thought Itachi had hung up.

“I see. Is it too much to ask to see you one last time?”

“Yes it is Itachi. Goodbye.” Naruto closed the phone. He shivered as a stray tear slid from his eye.

Sasuke came out of his office and went into the living room. He saw the tears rolling down Naruto’s cheeks. He went over and gathered him into his arms.

“What happened Naruto? Did he say something to you?”

“No, I told him. I…I didn’t know it would hurt…” Naruto truly cared for Itachi, but his feelings were not returned and that hurt the most.

“Everything will be ok.” He rocked him until Naruto fell asleep. The raven carried him up to the bedroom.

Itachi glared at the phone. “I don’t think so Naruto. You are mine and only mine.” He turned dark eyes to the other person in the room. “Did you get it?”

Smiling, “yep, we have a trace.”
