Dangerously Beautiful

Chapter 6 Shattered Sasuke smiled as he grabbed a few fruits and vegetables from the market, checking to make sure they were ripe before placing them in his bags. Kakashi stood behind him, holding heavy bags of dog food for his many drooling canines. "One of these." Pakkun requested, pointing his right paw to a thick pig's ear, walking calmly over and pointing to a pile of dog bones, "One of these too." He demanded, chuckling to himself as Sasuke was forced to pile up everything he was asking for. The caring Jounin reached over the youngest Uchiha's shoulder, putting the pig ears, raw meat, and chewing bones back on the rack with a sigh, "You don't have to get them everything they want, or they'd buy up the entire market." He explained, giving a stern look to Pakkun for taking advantage of the young teen. Sasuke blushed, quickly giving the area around him a scan before placing a light kiss on Kakashi's pale cheek, then continued shopping as if nothing had happened. The gray-haired Jounin touched the place where the youngest Uchiha's lips had been with a masked grin, he really was like Itachi. There were many things he did that had no real explanation or merit, but he chose to do them anyway. Kakashi loved that spontaneity. "Sasuke, get a couple of those oranges too." He advised, looking back at his eight hungry dogs, "Ah, I'm really sorry I forgot to feed you yesterday..." he muttered, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment. Pakkun rolled his brown eyes, "What were you doing that was more important?" The young Jounin reddened at the word 'doing', thinking back to last night nervously, "Well, let's just say I ran out of time, knowknow?" "Ran out of time?" One of the many pups questioned suspiciously, all of their judging, dubitable eyes falling squarely upon Sasuke's shoulders. The youngest Uchiha had just gathered up the last of the groceries when he turned to face eight angry jowls, each of them glaring at him with some sort of despise. He backed up, "W-what did I do?" Kakashi let out a somewhat strained left, "Well anyway, we're eating today, so it's all okay, right?" he suggested, desperately trying to make peace with the growling pups. He wrapped an arm around Sasuke's small shoulders to see him to the shop owner. He stepped up to the counter, allowing the young teen to dump his many bags of food and drink down as he reached for his wallet. The gray-haired Jounin shook his head, "No, no, I'll pay." He offered generously, that same smile on his face he had plastered on last night. Sasuke flustered, stepping back and allowing Kakashi to pay for him. Instinctively he latched onto his older boyfriend's arm, letting his tired head fall to his shoulder with an emphatic sigh. Behind him an elderly couple was taken aback, "Who is that, Hatake Kakashi?" The old man questioned aloud, straightening his small pair of glasses before confirming it, "looks like it..." "What's he doing with another Uchiha? I thought those rumors were false, but I guess he really is one for prostitutes..." The woman next to him shook her head in disappointment, "I thought those dirty Uchiha had stopped their disgusting practices, but I guess they are still as sickening as ever." She commented with a scuff, heading off to do her own shopping. Again, as more people wandered the streets the whispering and murmuring began, standing only a few feet away from their victims the residents of Konoha made their disgust widely-known. Sasuke stared at the ground below his feet, obviously absorbing everything the furious onlookers had said like a sponge. His fist tightened at his side, the hand he had hooked onto Kakashi's arm also growing severely tighter. Kakashi leaned over to his young student, "Just ignore them..." he advised, grabbing the bags of groceries in his hands steadily. The youngest Uchiha bit his lip in a vein attempt to control the swelling anger that had balled up within him, every comment, every slight whisper and joke seemed to cause that same anger to flourish and grow. He closed his black eyes and began walking off alongside Kakashi, swearing to control himself. "Why would someone with such a strong bloodline waste his time with someone he can't even bear children?" "Oh, maybe he's just purchasing him for the night, I'm sure. That's what he used to do with Itachi... It's ridiculous to think anyone would actually be in a relationship with a dirty Uchiha..." "You're right, he's probably diseased." Sasuke clenched his teeth, gritting them together as he felt a comforting hand touch his shoulder, reminding him that the stranger's comments didn't matter. He stared up into Kakashi's caring eyes for a second before nodding; sure he could ignore the horrible things people were saying about him for now. A thunderous laugh sounded behind the two as a somewhat hung-over man held his aching sides, "Kakashi, two Uchiha?" he exclaimed with yet another hearty chuckle, "how much money have you got that you can afford two? You sick bastard..." he commented, his lazy drooping eyes both staring at the youngest Uchiha's back. Sasuke fumed, his eyes transformed to a deep, bloody red, his mind swimming in thoughts of only killing, or tearing that man to shreds and burn the remains. Kakashi tried to hold his hand, bhe yhe young Uchiha ripped away, grabbing the man by the collar and forcing him to the ground. His heart raced as he punched the man's jaw; over and over again he punched him, barely taking a second's pause to catch his breath in between more punches. His breath grew ragged, he let out short groans as tears gathered in his black eyes, his fists expelling the rage he had recently pent up and causing him to exhaust himself. Those around him all backed away, some of them screg org or shouting at seeing the terrible sight, others fleeing the scene. Blood leaked from the man's lips, his teeth scattered on his chin, the side of his cheek ruptured and bruised, but it wasn't enough, it still wasn't enough. Sasuke wanted him to pay for what he had said about Kakashi, about his family. No physical punishment he could inflict would possibly be enough. Kakashi quickly stepped forward to stop him, grabbing the young teen from behind, holding his waist in his arms and pulling the struggling boy off of him, desperately trying to calm him down, "Sasuke, Sasuke, stop it... He's not worth it..." The youngest Uchiha's head felt light; tears still dripping down his pale cheeks, blood staining his worn knuckles as he continued his labored breaths. His body suddenly fell limp in Kakashi's arms, his sandals hovering only a few inches from the ground. He nodded tiredly, his black bangs falling in front of his eyes, "I want to go ..."..." he mumbled, closing his eyes and allowing the muscled Jounin to carry him back. Kakashi's dogs followed in a pack, their heads hanging low to the ground. Once the two had escaped the outdoor markets and headed back into the residential area, the youngest Uchiha began speaking again, "Kakashi..." he muttered with teary eyes, his voice still whimpering as if he had been crying the entire way back, "I'm sorry. You told me we shouldn't be seen out in public, but I didn't listen. I guess I just wanted everyone to know you belonged to me." He sighed, leaning into the Jounin's chest as Kakashi continued to carry him back. "No, it wasn't your fault." "How, Kakashi?" Kakashi peered down curiously to the young teen in his arms, "How what?" he asked. Sasuke's eyes returned to their normal, relaxed black tone, "How could you remain so calm when all those people were talking about you? How could you just stand there when they said all those terrible things?" The gray-haired Jounin was forced to think about it a while, "When Itachi andere ere together..." Sasuke shuddered at that name, but allowed the young Jounin to continue on with what he had been saying. "... I used to beat anyone who said anything bad about him, anyone who made any comments about the Uchiha clan in general. But, then I learned better. No matter how much I fought them, the comments kept on coming. Itachi would tell me to stop, that he didn't care what anyone else said, but I just wouldn't listen." Sasuke shifted his weight in Kakashi's strong arms, "So what happened?" The gray-haired instructor grimaced, "In short, I picked a fight with a guy I couldn't beat. A few days later he returned with a few of his friends and sent me to the hospital. You can bet I got a pretty long scolding from Itachi that day..." he laughed, th his his eyes were still very serious. "Yeah, but..." "Just promise me I won't have to pick you up from the hospital, Sasuke." Kakashi interrupted, staring the youngest Uchiha in the eyes with a certain amount of severity. The dark-haired ninja nodded, looking up to see they had reached Kakashi's place of residence, "Can I stay with you again tonight? I don't want to go back to that empty house..." Sasuke asked, his voice muffled as he sheltered his chin under the Jounin's arm. "Ah, I don't mind. It's nice to have some company..." Pakkun barked loudly from behind the two, a frustrated expression on his small jowls. Kakashi grinned, "Not that you guys don't provide stimulating conversation..." Naruto shivered as he heard that cold voice, the tiny hairs on the back of his neck standing virtually on end as that low, rumbling voice arose behind him. Arms encircled his waist, pulling his small form closer to Itachi's warm body. The young blonde let out a warm breath at the feeling of having someone so close to his young body. Slowly Itachi pulled the small boy out of his bed, his voice traveling over his shoulder to his sensitive ear, "Did you miss me, puppy?" the eldest Uchiha muttered, sending a direct chill up Naruto's spine. Nervously the young fox turned to face him, feeling Itachi's hand run along his back, "I-Itachi..." the blonde stuttered, biting his bottom lip as the eldest Uchiha began suckling at his neck passionately. "I... I thought you would be gone by now..." Naruto murmured, his hands shaking as he remembered the pain he had been forced to undergo last night and praying silently that it wouldn't happen again. Itachi let out a sarcastic laugh before spinning the young teen to face him; "I just had to see you again puppy. God, you make me crazy, you little fox..." he whispered, tugging on the blonde's ear with his teeth. "I don't know if you should be here, Itachi... What if someone catches you?" Itachi shrugged, a chuckle rippling through his lips, "No one will catch me." He assured, running his fingers through Naruto's blonde hair and placing delicate kisses all over the boy's tanned face, licking at his short whiskers affectionately. The young fox shivered, "Last night, Itachi... I, it hurt... I don't want to do it again..." Naruto answered nervously as he was pushed back onto his disheveled sheets, tears gathering in his pearl blue eyes. He stared into Itachi's Sharingan for a long while, the pupils in his eyes dilating and shrinking in fear. His heart nearly leapt out of his chest as the eldest Uchiha leaned forward. Naruto squeezed his eyelids shut, held them so tightly together they might bleed. He knew it would happen, just like last night, Itachi would push him violently down on the bed and mercilessly rape him again. He waited for it, to feel the Uchiha's hands pushing down on his shoulders, forcing him into submission, his devious tongue tracing circles over his body, his treacherous hands wandering over his exposed skin. He waited, but it didn't happen. Itachi pressed his cold lips to Naruto's forehead, "I'm sorry I hurt you, puppy..." he apologized sincerely, receiving a skeptical glare from the young teen. The eldest Uchiha smirked, "You look like you don't believe me. Wasn't I the one who cared enough about you to come back for you? When has anyone else done something like that for you?" he questioned, knowing his queries were hitting far too close to home. Naruto stared at his toes, knowing Itachi was right. No one else had ever gone that extra mile for him; no one else had ever wanted to be with him so badly. His legs began to felt weak as he grabbed the Uchiha's arm, holding it to his chest with a sigh, "I'm sorry..." Itachi held the young boy in his warm, inviting arms, letting his eyes flutter closed. Suddenly an idea came to his head, a sick idea that made his lips curl up into a terrible grin, "Naruto... how about I make it up to you tonight?" he suggested, pulling back to look his young victim in the eye. "Wh- How?" The eldest Uchiha brushed his dark bangs back, tossing his short ponytail behind his back, "Tonight. Meet me at the southern lake at ten." He instructed carefully, as if he was calculating something very meticulously in his head. "The southern lake? But why are we going so late at night?" The blonde questioned, his questions stopped as Itachi grabbed his chin in a tight hand, pressing so tightly it puckered Naruto's lips. Itachi smiled, placing at least a dozen kisses on the teen's face, "You're so cute, puppy. You wouldn't want anyone to see us together, right? As adorable as I think you are, people just won't understand us... They'll try to separate us, puppy. You don't want that, do you?" he asked, his hands wing ing around Naruto's small shoulders, his right hand slipping forward under the young teen's shirt. Itachi smiled as he lightly flicked the boy's nipple, getting a clear response. "Ahh... Itachi..." "I doesn't have to be all bad, Naruto." The eldest Uchiha explained, coming closer so his hot breath cascaded over the blonde's neck, "It'll be fun, we sneak around, never knowing if someone's going to catch us, you're my secret lover, puppy." He explained, trying to turn the somewhat risky and perilous into something vaguely enjoyable. Truthfully he had been enjoying toying with the young fox, having his way with him and being able to simply leave the next morning. A bestial instinct inside of him was being calmed. Naruto closed his blue eyes, feeling the warmth of Itachi's hands wandering his small chest, gently hovering above his belly button, "Remember, ten o' clock, right?" The blonde nodded, giving the Uchiha a kiss on the cheek and hugging him closer, feeling the awkward sensation of having another human being so close to his young body. "Before you go-" Naruto stopped, his cheeks blushing brightly. "Ne-nevermind." He mumbled into his collar bashfully. "What is it?" Itachi asked curiously, biting at the boy's neck to force him into answering, "Come on..." Naruto played with his thumbs, swallowing the large lump in his throat and kicking his feet, "Before you go, um... I just kinda' wanted to hear it, the... I mean, no one's ever said it to me before." He muttered, unable to muster the words. Itachi grinned, leaning down so he could see under the boy's blonde bangs and staring into his pearl blue eyes, "I love you?" The young fox nodded; "It's just that..." he stopped as he felt the Sharingan staring into him, reading him like a book. He hated how vulnerable he was in front of those deep eyes, how everything about himself was so easy to see. The eldest Uchiha fixed hing bng black robe and lifted Naruto's head, "Those words will only get you into trouble, puppy." He advised, his mind wandering to images of Kakashi, continually hearing the words from his lying mouth. With a grin he leaned forward, his lips only mere inches from the young teen's. "How about I just show you instead...?" he added, pressing his lips to Naruto's and closing his blood red eyes. The blonde sighed at the warm feeling before it abandoned him again as Itachi cut off the kiss, dashing past him to the window and slipping under the open hatch, disappearing into the late morning in a dark blur. The eldest Uchiha sprinted down the streets and alleyways, his mind racing as he continued to a less populated area of Konoha. 'Everything's working perfectly,' he thought to himself, 'We go to the lake at ten o' clock, and unless that idiot Kakashi has changed since I left, that's the time he leaves his house to feed the stray cat down the street. I'll pay back that bastard for screwing it with my brother...' he schemed angrily, feeling his fists tighten and his knuckles whiten. He would get revenge on the gray-haired Jounin if it was the last thing he did. Within minutes, the eldest Uchiha vanished like a ghost into the deep woods of the Hidden Leaf Village. Sasuke stared up at the ceiling in Kakashi's house, resting comfortably on his wide bed as the young Jounin divvied up food to his many dogs. The young teen's black bangs fell in front of his eyes, his arms bent behind his head, "Itachi..." he muttered, thinking back to when he was younger, when his older brother meant everything in the world to him... "Big brother! Big brother!" Sasuke called, a wide smile on his face as he hopped up onto Itachi's lap, "Big brother, what's wrong? Your face is leaking..." the young Uchiha pointed out, reaching up to blot at his elder brother's tears. Itachi covered his face in embarrassment, his teeth tightly clenched, "Just, just go away, okay Sasuke?" "But..." Sasuke stared at his own small hands for a long time, hearing his brother's weeping next to him and realizing his hands were too small to hold him, his arms were too short to comfort his older brother in his time of need. The youngest Uchiha plopped his small rear down next to Itachi, resting his head on his arm, "Then, can I sit with you?" he questioned, his own black eyes tearing up. The eldest Uchiha wiped his sore, red eyes and sighed, "Now why are you crying?" "Cause' you're sad and you won't tell me what's wrong." Itachi let out a chuckle, running his finger's through his brr's r's short hair and grinning, "No matter how long you sit here and mope, I'm not going to tell you..." he advised, leaning back onto his bed and staring jarringly at his upside-down window. "I bet you will..." "I bet I won't..." "I bet you will..." "I bet I won't..." "I bet you will," Sasuke started as he tackled his brother, his smalngerngers wiggling, "with tickle torture!!" he shouted, letting his young fingers wander over his brother's stomach with an echoing, childish laugh. He smiled as Itachi tried to shoulder him off, a vein in his neck bulging. The elder Uchiha grumbled, "Stop it, dammit. I don't have time to deal with you." He explained, attempting to stand after pushing his little brother off of his tired body. Sasuke grunted, rolling over and hopping over to his older brother's side, grabbing a piece of his clothing with a smile, "Where are you going?" he asked curiously, just like a child of his age. His black, depthless eyes stared up into Itachi's, both of them remaining quiet for a long time as the elder of the two debated in his mind whether or not to tell him. "Out." Sasuke pouted, giving his older brother a swift kick in the shins, "What kinda' answer is that? Are you coming back?" "Don't I always?" The young Uchiha appeared worried, as if something inside of him was tugging, telling him not to let his older brother out that night. He shivered at the feeling before clutching onto Itachi's leg again, "Are you coming back?" Itachi stared at the young boy for a short while, hearing the winds of Konoha picking up from his foggy window and sighing, "Listen, Sasuke, if anything ever happens, I'll make sure you're safe." He explained, as if he was making a promise, the expression on his face dead serious. For a second Sasuke thought he was joking, a small laugh escaping his lips before he noticed the grim gaze staring back at him. Sasuke stepped back, watching his brother step out of his small room and slam the door behind him. The youngest of the Uchiha sprawled out on his brother's bed and wiped his pink eyes, "Please come back..." "Sasuke?" "Hey, Sasuke!" Kakashi called, poking the young teen on the forehead to wake him up and letting out a laugh, "Were you daydreaming? Oh, I certainly hope it was about me!" he joked, his facial mask already pulled over his chin like always, the same goofy arched eyes and wild gray hair. The dark-haired ninja rolled his eyes and pushed his teacher playfully, "Kakashi!" he exclaimed, letting out a muffled laugh before rolling over to allow Kakashi room to lay next to him. The two grew distinctly quiet, the breezes that whistled by outside the only sound in the small home for a long while as both of them stared apprehensively at the ceiling aboveir eir heads. "Hey, Kakashi?" The gray-haired Jounin turned lazily, his bangs drooping over his eyes, "Eh?" "How many dogs do you have?" The youngest Uchiha questioned curiously, having lost count as they were wandering the streets of Konoha. Kakashi grinned, "Eight." He answered simply, his eyelids curling up into enjoyable arcs as he spoke about them. Sasuke played with his own thumbs to pass the dwelling time, occasionally stealing glances over at his bedmate, "And you love them all, right?" His dark eyes didn't dare look over at his unresponsive teacher, just stared upwards, at that same ceiling. "Of course." "You sure, you don't love some more than the others?" Kakashi's eyebrows lowered, somewhat suspicious of what Sasuke was implying, "Sasuke, why are you so talkative all of a sudden? Most of the time it was all I could do to get you to say a few words." The dark-haired boy grumbled, rolling off of the bed and marching to the bedroom door angrily, a rotten scowl on his face, "...You know, maybe I should just leave..." he muttered, trailing off with his own profanities and curses as he pulled the door open and slammed it behind him. Kakashi sighed, giving a roll of his eyes before following his young student, "Sasuke, wait." He called, seeing the youngest Uchiha stomping through his living room, rushing to grab his tightightly, "Sasuke, what's wrong with you? If I'm with you, then I'm with you, understand? If I wanted to be with Itachi, I would be with Itachi! Why can't you believe me?" he asked, a vast amount of sincerity in his coal black eyes. Sasuke scuffed, as if he knew his teacher was lying. "He's better in everything you know, he's stronger than me, faster than me, and I can never catch up to his level... There's no way I can ever replace him, you know that!" he shouted, his fists gathering up, his hands dying to wrap around the cocky Jounin's collar and pull him forward, to stare at him with furious eyes and nearly inflict tear ear of god on him. But he couldn't, his hands were too small, too weak. "I'm not trying to replace him with you!" Kakashi returned at an equally loud level, wondering how many of his neighbors could hear their heated argument. The youngest Uchiha raised his fists, holding them at his chest with restraint, "You are! You still have pictures of him; you say his name when you're asleep! Gods, I want to..." he growled, staring at his white-knuc fis fist and becoming even more infuriated, "I want to..." "If you want to hit me, then hit me." Kakashi stated boldly, already seeing the blood-red glow in Sasuke's eyes, the same hatred and frustration Itachi used to convey in those terrible eyes, a desperate need to release all he had been holding back for so long. The Jounin's young student bit his bottom lip, "I'm not going to hit you." "Hit me, Sasuke!" "Stop it..." "I can see you want to do it, so hit me, pay me back for all the times I was with Itachi instead of you, all the times I called you a kid, all the times I've said you're brother's name in my sleep instead of yours! Just hit-" his words were abruptly put to a stop when Sasuke's hard, clenched fist landed in his jaw, displacing the usually calm and collected Jounin for a minute before he shook the feeling off. The youngest Uchiha stared at his left fist, breathing heavily as he traced his crimson eyes over the white knuckles, the impact causing them to blush a slight pink, red overlapping in the crevices. His hand ached, the numbness carrying to his arm and traveling up his spine. Why had he done that? Why had he given in so easily to his anger that could easily consume him? The baffled boy raised a pale hand to his own cheek, feeling his eyes cloud up before running over in tears. He didn't know why he had suddenly started weeping, but there he was, with continuous salty banks running down his pinkened face. He grumbled a minute before hearing his elder speak up. "How many people have you known that you've gotten close to have stayed with you, Sasuke?" he asked rather rhetorically, wanting the boy to figure the answer out on his own, he grimaced as he rubbed his hand over his swelled jaw, "Everyone who's gotten close to you has either been killed, or left you, isn't that right?" Sasuke could feel more tears running from his eyes, his hands trying to cover up the crying mess he had transformed into. What was Kakashi trying to do, make the young Uchiha feel like a worthless human being? Every word he said seemed to knock the boy further and further do The The gray-haired Jounin sighed, stepping closer to his young student with a smile on his face, "It's only right that you would try to push me away first when I was getting closer to you, right Sasuke? Before I could leave you too..." he explained it all so easily, like the young teen was simply an analyzation. But gods if everything he said wasn't so damn right. The youngest Uchiha wiped his eyes, hated seeing his own tears to remind him of all his constant weaknesses. Before he could react or object, he felt strong arms encircle his small frame, bringing his body closer and refusing to let go. Sasuke's eyes softened, the black reflecting the still lively tears he was shedding, his own small arms grabbing onto his teacher's sleeves before he buried his face in Kakashi's thick clothing. "I hate it..." Kakashi grinned, pulling Sasuke closer and feeling his small arms clutch tighter onto himself, "What?" "You're always so damn right..." "Well, yes, I am a genius." "I didn't say that..." Sasuke woke up a few hours later, his sti still red from all the weeping he had done earlier, small purple bags hanging under his normally perfect black marbles. He gently tossed on Kakashi's wide bed, grabbing a nearby pillow and holding it to his chest. It felt so safe, so calming to have something so warm close to him, his cheeks flustered a little as his teacher knocked lightly on his own bedroom door. "Are you decent?" The youngest Uchiha grunted, "Yes!" "Aww..." Kakashi answered disappointedly, running his fingers through his gray locks and laughing, "So, are you moving in or what? Seems like you haven't been in your own house for a while..." he muttered, wondering if it sounded like he wanted him out. Sasuke gathered his knees up to the pillow, hugging it tighter in his arms, a slight blush coming to his cheeks, the friction of the sheets pulling his dark shorts up to reveal more of the teen's milky white thighs, "Is that a problem?" he questioned, his voice unusually low and rumbling. The young Jounin quickly covered his nose, hoping it wouldn't explode in a river of blood at this point, "N-no, it's not a problem..." he retorted easily, quickly realizing he had lost all of his will, "I was just wondering if you wanted anything from your house, we could go get it if you're planning to stay here for a while. Is there anything you need?" "Well, I have about twenty-six shuriken in there, forty-two kunai and some large shuriken, and some explosive tags too..." Sasuke explained off of the top of his head, his black eyes rolling upwards as if he was making a last minute check, "Yup, that's about it." Kakashi's head fell to his chest, "I was asking about essential things like a toothbrush or something..." he sighed, knowing already that was how the young fighter thought. "Well maybe we should head down sometime later, in the meantime, you have a visitor at the door." Sasuke raised a curious eyebrow, attempting to straighten his hair out before asking, "Who is it?" "Sakura." The youngest Uchiha grumbled, falling back down on the Jounin's bed, "Ugh..." he muttered. "Do I have to?" Kakashi let out a laugh, scratching the back of his gray scalp, "Sasuke, she's my student too. And she's been looking for you since you missed your mission... Just come out and show her you're alright." He advised, grabbing the uncooperative teenhis his arm and nearly dragging him through his living room, finally letting go of him by the opened door. The pink-haired ninja dug the toe of her sandals in her teacher's welcome mat, standing patiently for a long while before seeing a tired, disheveled Sasuke meet her at the door, "Yo." Sakura's mint green eyes lit up at the sight of him, "Sasuke, you're alright! Oh, I've been looking for you for days. Kakashi said you were sick, so I went to your house, but you weren't there." She explained, a pink blush appearing on her normally white cheeks, "W-why are you at Kakashi's place?" she questioned curiously. Sasuke grew terribly quiet, turning back to his teacher as if he was asking desperately for an answer. Gods, what could he possibly say to explain it? The young teen stammered over his words for a while before answering, "Um, training..." "Training?" "Y-yeah, Kakashi is training me." The youngest Uchiha's face flustered as he thought of what double-meanings that statement could have. He let out a nervous huff. "Oh, but you're feeling better, right? So what's Kakashi training you at his house for? Why not at the academy?" More and more questions from the inquisitive girl, questions Sasuke was not eager to answer, "Um, well..." The dark-haired ninja stuttered, kicking his leg back and forth nervously, "It's secret training, so we have to practice inside..." "You could reserve the campus training grounds." Sakura returned, almost untying the binding lies Sasuke was telling her. Sasuke grunted, rolling his black eyes and grabbing the doorknob angrily, "Fine, I'm not training, I'm having a secret illicit affair with my male teacher and if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go have hot, steamy sex with him." He stated before slamming the door in the young girl's face, and stomping back inside of the house. Sakura blinked a few ti rem remaining in complete silence for a while, 'Was Sasuke joking?' she asked herself a few times, her green eyes seemingly rolling in her head in an attempt to understand, 'Yes, he must have been joking!' she assured herself with a little laugh, 'That's Sasuke, handsome, intelligent, and funny...' she forced a laugh upon herself before heading back to her own residence. Kakashi held his hands on his hips, an analytical look on his pale face, "Sasuke, what the Hell did you just say?" he muttered, staring at his young student. "What you don't want to have hot, steamy sex?" The gray-haired Jounin rolled his eyes, letting out a long sigh, "That's not what I meant! Do you really think you should tell Sakura what we're doing here? And that was kind of rude, slamming the door in her face..." he explained, stepping closer to his young boyfriend and shaking his head in disappointment. Sasuke groaned, "She'll just think I was joking, or in a bad mood or something... It's okay, it's okay..." he assured calmly, wrapping his arms around his teacher's waist and grinning widely, "Kakashi, I know we didn't want to take it that far until a long while, but..." he trailed off, leaning forward to nip at the Jounin's neck and letting a hot breath travel down his teacher's back. "Sasuke, I don't know if that's a good idea. Things always get more complicated after that." The young instructor scolded, holding the boy's hips tightly, "We should try to take it slower." "I'm sick of taking it slow," The youngest Uchiha exclaimed angrily, already becoming jealous that Itachi had been with Kakashi so many times, he wanted to have that same feeling, to experience loving his teacher the right way. Sasuke closed his black eyes and pressed his head to Kakashi's warm chest, "It won't change anything, just please..." he begged, already pushing his teacher back into his own bedroom. Kakashi sighed and decided to succumb to the boy's charm. After all, even if he had tried to resist, it would hardly be enough to defy Sasuke's advances. The gray-haired Jounin ran his hands up and down the boy's back, feeling Sasuke shiver at the sensation and tighten his grip on his teacher's hips. "Kakashi..." The young Jounin leaned down, sliding his tongue along the boy's adam's apple and cupping his lips around his throat, sucking hotly and trailing a wet path down to Sasuke's collar. The youngest Uchiha took in a quick breath, his chest rising and falling quicker, his shorts tightening. His teacher slowly pushed him into his own bedroom, slamming the door behind him and pressing Sasuke's small body forward until the back of his knees hit the bed and forced him down. Kakashi followed him, climbing on top of his supple young body like a hungry animal waiting to be fed. His hands tangled into Sasuke's black hair, holding the back of his head and ravaging his lips with his own. Their tongues danced together in their mouths, the youngest Uchiha moaning and clawing at his teacher's back, "Kakashi, more..." he whimpered in between deluded breaths. The gray-haired instructor cupped his right hand over the young teen's crotch, caressing the fabric of his shorts and letting his hand slide along the boy's smooth leg, heading upwards to his hips, his thighs, his hands wanting desperately to explore every part of the perfect kid. He placed countless kisses on the young boy's cheeks, reveling in the feeling of Sasuke's hands traveling his built chest, already slipping under his dark shirt, and tickling his abdomen. Kakashi watched the boy writhe underneath him, his body tingling and suddenly becomingreasreasingly hot, sweat beading down his forehead as he unzipped the boy's shorts, yanking them off of his legs and tossing them behind him as if he despised them for delaying him. "Raise your leg." He requested, his demand met with a strange face from the young member of the Uchiha clan, a confused and cocky smirk. "You're telling me what to do?" he asked, as he had never really listened to anyone before, more importantly, no one had ever demanded it of him before, all cowering before the name of Uchiha. "I am your teacher..." The gray-haired Jounin explained, manually pulling the boy's leg up and allowing his eager fingers to wander the silky skin of his legs, eyes widening at the growing bulge in the young teen's set of boxers, which were seemingly becoming smaller and smaller by the second. Sasuke let out a chuckle and let a wide grin spread on his face, "So that's how you want to play it..." he muttered, letting his hands fall to either side of his head and leaning back in a helpless position, "Do I get detention again, teacher?" he teased, his pale face reddening as he saw Kakashi's reaction. "Why are you so good at that? I swear if you keep leading me on like that, one day I will bend you over a desk at school..." Kakashi scolded, giving his young student a playful slap to the face before continuing to travel the boy's young legs. The youngest Uchiha's dark eyes narrowed, "I wouldn't mind that." Kakashi rolled his eyes, his right hand evasively hovering the teen's most sensitive place before grabbing the waistline of his small boxers, "You damn nymphomaniac..." he muttered, pulling on the Uchiha's shorts ever so slowly, as if he wanted to absorb every inch of him before he slid the useless clothing down the boy's thin legs, staring at his erect member for a whilforefore clutching it tightly in his hand, his fingers gripping softly as he lightly pumped the teen. Sasuke grabbed at the sheets below him, "Stop fucking around, tea-cher." He said mockingly, gritting his teeth together and taking a deep breath, "Just get to it..." The gray-haired Jounin sighed aloud, boy this one was bossy. Regretfully he stopped his attack on that part of Sasuke's anatomy, having so enjoyed the sounds and thrusts the Uchiha had been giving off before. "Fine, fine." He accepted, his hand lowering to Sasuke's puckered entrance. "Wait." The dark-haired ninja stopped him, crossing his arms over his chest and grabbing the bottom of his own black shirt, "This is getting itchy..." he explained simply as he threw his shirt to the floor, now completely naked in front of his much appreciative teacher. Kakashi grinned from ear to ear, "Should I take my clothes off too?" Sasuke frowned, "Yes." The young Jounin pulled off his thick olive green vest, heara dia distinct 'thunk' as it hit the carpeted floor, grabbing his own shirt and peeling the tight fabric off of his body, revealing his pale, muscled chest. Sasuke let out a quick breath at seeing his teacher's well-defined chest, his rippling stomach, and above all the many scars that had littered his body from years of being a top-level ninja of Konoha. The young Uchiha reached up to the near-perfect body in front of him, tracing the scars with his small fingers, stabs, slices, long shallow cuts, they were all there. None of them shook the appeal of Kakashi's body, but added character. The curious teen traveled them with his hands, "Kakashi..." he muttered, his black eyes almost sympathetic. The young Jounin let out a laugh, "Don't look at me like that, it comes with the job." "No," Sasuke mumbled as he wrapped his arms around his teacher's neck, "I was just wondering if I could add some nail marks to your back." He said seductively, not knowing why he was all of a sudden feeling so frisky. Kakashi again rolled his droopy eyes, standing for a short second to unbutton and unzip the fly of his pants, dropping them to the floor to reveal his toned legs, stepping over to his dresser and opening the top drawer, shuffling through a few things before finally getting what he had been searching for, a small bottle of lubricant. The young Uchiha stared at his near-naked teacher for a long while before realizing something, "Did you use that on Itachi?" "Yes." The young Jounin answered. Sasuke pouted, crossing his arms over his chest, "I don't want to use that." He refused, turning his head the other way, though his dark eyes still made trails back to that muscled chest in front of him. "Then you have to find something else to use, Sasuke." Kakashi replied almost scoldingly, staring at the boy with his hands on his hips before returning to the bedside. The youngest Uchiha had only to think about their predicament for a minute before pouncing on his elder, forcing him into the submissive position and grabbing the waistline of his boxers, "I know what we can use." He muttered, pulling his teacher's shorts off in a single movement and crawling over his exposed body. Quickly, almost eagerly Sasuke grabbed the thick, trembling shaft in front of him with both of his hands. He gathered his small fingers around Kakashi before pulling upwards on him, soon pulling faster, his grip becoming tighter as he lowered his head, giving slight licks to the tip and dragging his warm tongue down the extent of the erect member, huffing as he nearly lost his breath. Kakashi threw his head back at the tremendous waves of feelings overwhelming his already stressed body, biting his bottom lip in a desperate attempt not to call out, noticing from the clock next to his bed it was nearly nine o' clock at night. Slower and faster, harder and softer Sasuke rubbed his tight fingers over Kakashi's bruise-tinted shaft, pressing at the tip with his thumb and taking the tip into his mouth, knowing if he had sheathed anymore it might choke him, stopping to allow his tongue to dance over the slit, slipping around his head skillfully before removing his mouth. Finally he gave the aroused shaft a tight clench, the young teacher no longer able to hold back his essence, spilled it over his stomach with a long groan. The young Uchiha gathered up the sticky residue with his hands, "We can improvise, right?" he suggested with a chuckle, his teacher sitting up and taking some of his own seed in his hands, approaching Sasuke's tight entrance. Before he could reach that tender spot, he noticed a small hand meet there first, Sasuke's own hand. The dark-haired teen took in a deep breath before sliding his semen-slicked finger inside of his own tight body, huffing tiredly before inserting a second. Kakashi sat back, watching the pleasurable show of the young Uchiha sexing himself with his small hand, feeling the constricted muscles, and breathing heavily. "Ka..." Sasuke stopped, inserting a third finger into his small body and moaning loudly. The teen grabbed his Jounin instructor's hand and placed it next to his small entrance, pulling his own fingers out and thrusting his hips forward, "Please..." he whispered breathily, his eyelids heavy, sweat pouring down his small chest. Kakashi happily ablidged, switching their positions so he was once again dominant and on top, his hand grabbing at the boy's buttocks, his other hand forcibly spreading his pale legs. He paused for a while before slipping the first finger inside of the young teen. Sasuke gritted his teeth, his chest rising and falling at a much quicker rate, "Kakashi," The young Jounin continued to prep the moaning boy until he was absolutely sure he was ready for the impact of the real thing. "Are you ready, Sasu?" he questioned carefully, wanting to make sure he wasn't forcing anything on his young student. "... You talk too much." Kakashi chuckled, holding his own erect member in his hand and leading it to the boy's prepared entrance, the extent of his own shaft already slicked with a lubricant of sort. He pressed the tip at Sasuke's tight entrance, receiving a loud shout from the boy, taking this as a signal to continue, Kakashi inserted himself, pressing into the teen's body slowly, until he had fully sheathed himself. The two remained silent for a while as the Jounin allowed time for the young Uchiha's frame to become used to the stranger entering him. Sasuke tried to hold back, to remain quiet so the neighbors wouldn't know what they were doing, so the terrible rumors about their relationship would falter, but he couldn't. With a deep breath the young ninja let out a long shout, "Aaah! Kakashi, it... feels so g.. H.. Hah Ahhh..." he breathed. Kakashi pulled out of the teen almost fully before re-inserting himself quicker, slamming into Sasuke's tender spot, as was obvious by the scream his young boyfriend let out, "Faster..." The young Uchiha demanded, grabbing at his teacher's back and clawing at it with his small nails. The Jounin ablidged, pulling back once again and pushing into his student's small body, feeling how much tighter and less-experienced he was compared to his prostituted brother. He shook the thought from his head and continued to pound inside of the Uchiha, harder and harder, hearing Sasuke's shouts and yells echoing inside of his swimming head. "Harder, Kakashi, harder..." Sasuke begged, leaning up to embrace his teacher's sweaty body, pressing their chests together, and grinding his own heated member against Kakashi's muscled belly to relieve the building stress. The young Jounin pressed harder into him, picking up the pace and thrusting his hips forward until he hit the boy's tender spot once again, causing another loud shout. "Ahh, aaaahh... Please don't stop, Kakashi..." The young teen begged, his dark eyes filling with painful tears as his body was torn into once again. Kakashi let his thumb discard the tears off of Sasuke's soft skin, noticing the bright red blush on the boy's cheeks, his mouth hanging open in a pleasurable moan, his black eyes softened and barely held open. "That's a pretty cute face." The Jounin pointed out, grabbing his chin in his hand with a smile. Sasuke smiled back, a few droplets of sweat cascading down his forehead as his breathing became more labored. Finally the young Uchiha could take the torture no longer, he grunted, leaning his head back and holding his instructor's pillared arms for support before his body let out a final convulsion, his erect shaft trembling before he finally let himself go. His small body led itself to a hot orgasm, spilling his essence over the extent of his own stomach and in turn causing his entrance to retract and tighten severely on tntruntruder inside of his body. Kakashi groaned loudly, feeling a clamp tighten down on his swelling member and staining the boy's insides with his milky seed. He pulled out of the boy's tired body limply, falling next to his young student and breathing heavily. Both of them remain deadly silent for a while, trying to regain their composure while ng dng deep, labored breaths. Sasuke ran his finger's through his black bangs, feeling the sweat that poured down his face and letting out a content sigh, "Kakashi..." "Hm?" "Can I sleep on your chest?" The gray-haired Jounin shrugged, "If you like." He answered tiredly, wanting nothing more but to sleep in for a very, very long time. His coal black eyes drooped slowly. "Now please be quiet, I need some sleep." He requested as his young student climbed over his body, laying his soft head on Kakashi's wide, warm chest and closing his dark eyes. "Did Itachi ever tell you about our mother?" Sasuke asked curiously, tracing shy circles on his teacher's chest with his free hand, the other wrapped around Kakashi's neck. Kakashi sighed, really wanting to get some serious sleep right about now. "Not really," he answered, "he didn't like talking about his family- for obvious reasons..." the elder of the two let out a laugh, "except for you..." Sasuke flushed brightly, his delicate fingers still trailing Kakashi's chest, "Our mother used to tuck us in at night, even at Itachi's age he still was treated like a child. Then she'd kiss us on the forehead before we went to sleep..." he explained, his fatigue clear as his words wandered and slurred together, "No matter how cold it was in the house, when she kissed us we always felt perfectly warm..." he muttered, his eyelids falling and fluttering closed. Kakashi breathed heavily, still exhausted from their shared experience. Tiredly he pulled the boy closer to his body, enjoying having another person's warmth with him as he slept after spending so many nights alone. He took a minute to rub his student's shoulder before placing a single kiss on the youngest Uchiha's forehead, watching as he smiled in his sleep and curled up closer. "Night' Sasu." Naruto shifted in his bed tossing and turning and continually stealing glances at the clock on his nightstand, his eyes red from the lack of sleep he had been getting lately. Each time he rolled over to face that taunting time, he realized it was getting closer and closer to that telling time. He ran his fingers through his spiky blonde hair and grumbled, "Ahh! What should I do?" he asked his empty house, hearing his voice echo to remind him of how alone he was. The nervous fox sighed, falling back to his bed with a gru"I g"I guess I should get going, it's almost nine fifty..." he murmured, his hands shaking at the thought of seeing Itachi again. On the one hand the eldest Uchiha seemed to be the only one who would care for a kid like him, but on the other hand, Naruto knew being with the Konoha exile was wrong, everything about that illicit relationship. His toes curled up under his feet as he watched the minutes fly by. "Dammit..." he cursed angrily before standing, grabbing his traditional orange jacket and heading out the door in a quick dash. 'Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep...' Kakashi groaned at thateouseous sound, his alarm sounding by his bedside, after only a few short-lived moments of sleep, "Damn..." he muttered, gently pushing the young boy off of his chest and sitting up. It was something he had done for the last eight years, since he was barely an adult, when he found a young kitten living in the streets, one of its paws broken. Though he pitied the animal, he knew he couldn't be the one to take care of such a needy animal, not with his demanding job as a Jounin instructor. So every week instead he would visit the store and buy the small cat a side of raw fish that could last him the whole week's time, sneak out at ten o' clock at night and feed the hungry animal. He blushed as he straightened his hair out, grabbing his boxers and pants and slipping them on before feeling a hand grip tightly around his wrist, "Kakashi..." Sasuke muttered tiredly, still wiping sleep from his bruise-tinted eyes and letting out a yawn, "Where are you going?" he asked curiously. "Ah, well, it's kind of a secret..." He looked at the boy's black eyes and let out a breath, "I guess it can't be helped. There's this cat down south by the lake I feed every week... It's a little childish." The young teacher admitted, scratching the back of his gray scalp nervously. Sasuke grinned, "No, it's not." The Jounin teacher finished getting dressed, grabbing the doorknob on his bedroom door before hearing an objection from his bed, "Wait." The youngest Uchiha could feel his heart rate escalade, his skin crawl as he prepared to watch another person walk out on him and leave him completely alone. 'Don't leave me alone...' 'Don't leave me alone...' 'Don't leave me alone!' The thoughts rang out in his head, his fingers gripping tighter around Kakashi's wrists, "Please don't leave. I-I'll go feed the cat. I just don't want someone else to walk out on me again." Kakashi nodded, grabbing a paper bag from the side of his bed and handing it to his young student, "She's gray with black spots, come back soon." He advised, leaning over to give the boy a kiss on the cheek before he left. "Okay, I'll be right back!" The youngest Uchiha called as he quickly dressed, hopping across the room to pull up his black shorts and heading out with the paper bag in hand. He let out a satisfied sigh as he stepped out into the cool evening air, a slight breeze blowing by his naked legs, "Ow ow ow..." he mumbled aloud, limping the rest of the way as he discovered how painful it was to run in his state. The young teen headed down the abandoned streets of Konoha, seeing a few poor beggars huddled up in an alleyway and making sure to keep clear of them. Sasuke's black eyes darted back and forth as he passed the wide stretch of water on the south side of town. "Here kitty..." he called, pulling the raw meat out of the slicked paper bag and waving it to call the cat over. Sasuke continued up and down the streets, looking around for the kitten before spotting a gray blob lying next to a few trashcans. The youngest Uchiha brushed his black bangs out of his eyes and squatted down to the small animal, "Here, sorry it's not the original visitor." He whispered, making extremely sure no one was around him before he started speaking to the cat. The gray cat mewled, backing away from the stranger before noticing the fish meat dangling in his hand. She approached him cautiously, with small steps before plopping down on the young teen's lap and gobbling up the food graciously, waving her tail back and forth with a purr. The young Uchiha smiled, running his fingers along the cat's soft fur, "There..." he muttered, lifting the cat off of his legs and gently placing her on the dirt road once again. "See you next week." He mumbled quietly, stepping back into the uncertain night. "I-Itachi..." Sasuke's black eyes narrowed at that name, red flowing to his cheeks, fingers curling up into fists. He couldn't have heard that name, it was impossible, his brother wouldn't have come back again to the village he had been banished from, he wouldn't dare. The youngest Uchiha could feel his feet getting itchy to find out where the voice had come from, eyes already turning to a blood red tone. "Shh, it's alright, no one's here, puppy." "But, but..." Naruto stammered as he felt the eldest Uchiha's hands wander his young body, cupping the back of his head before the missing-nin captured the fox's soft lips with his own, slipping his tongue into the mix to silence the loud young boy. Itachi grinned as the kiss was parted, "You're so cute when you're like this puppy. I didn't force you out here, did I?" "I-I came on my own." Naruto muttered, his breaths ragged and tortured as he wrapped his tired arms around Itachi's small waist, feeling the warmth the eldest Uchiha's long black cape provided with a sigh, "I needed to see you..." The banished ninja pulled the susceptible young boy closer to his body, his black-painted fingernails dragging over the boy's soft, bronzed skin, stopping to flick at his whiskers lightly. The young blonde moaned as the skilled Uchiha sucked at his neck, his tongue swiping back and forth on his collarbone. "I-Itachi..." Sasuke's body shivered, his movement stopping as he heard that name a second time, he knew it wasn't his imagination. He pivoted his legs, his furious Sharingan eyes scouting the area around him. If he were here, he would find him. The youngest Uchiha gritted his teeth together, pacing the alleyway and heading past the southern lake, 'Damn him, if he's here I'll rip him apart...' the young ninja swore lividly, his left arm already twitching and shaking, desperately desiring to tear his older brother apart with a single blast of his Chidori. "He has to be around here somewhere..." he muttered aloud. His blood red eyes narrowed as he finally spotted his murderous brother, perched against a large willow tree uprooting from the lake, someone significantly shorter than him cradled in his arms. He approached the two shadows with fists full of malice, marching over there with every intention of starting a fight, until... The youngest Uchiha stopped, backing away from the two before he had been seen, now able to recognize that second stranger, "N-Naruto?!" he exclaimed in pure shock. It was the blonde, he was leaning against Itachi's chest, and he seemed comfortable there. Sasuke had to take a second glance to make sure it was his young teammate, the orange jumpsuit, the blonde spiky hair, the whiskers, he was sure it had to be him. The dark-haired ninja felt as if he was going to collapse, his head spinning in an attempt to understand what was happening. Maybe Itachi tried to kidnap Naruto again; maybe he was holding him against his will, yes that had to be it. There was no way Naruto was stupid enough to willingly become involved with such a dangerous and unpredictable person. Naruto leaned upwards, placing an affectionate kiss on the eldest Uchiha's cheek before pulling him closer, "Itachi, I don't want to be alone anymore." He whispered into the murderer's dark clothing, clutching pieces of it in his small hands. Sasuke's blood boiled at the sight, Naruto wasn't being held against his will, he was voluntarily with Itachi, getting himself involved with someone who had murdered an entire clan. How stupid could he be? The youngest Uchiha balled up his pale fists, feeling sick to his stomach when he realized what danger his normally cautious teammate was putting himself in. The blood ran to his face as he tried to calm himself down. 'Damn you Naruto, what the Hell do you think you're doing with someone like him?' Itachi pressed his cold lips to Naruto'scefucefully, feeling the boy recoil slightly at the touch before returning the caring kiss, "Do you know how to swim, puppy?" the question was so abstract and arbitrary the blonde stammered a confused response. "Yes, why?" Sasuke grumbled, he'd had just about enough of those two. He needed to head over and save the stupid little idiot before he got in any deeper than he could handle. "Naru..." he shouted, covering his own mouth as the words of Kakashi repeated like a record player in his head. "Just promise me I won't have to pick you up from the hospital, Sasuke." The youngest Uchiha hated to admit that he was weaker than someone else, even if the difference was monumental; it was still hard for him to accept it as fact. But maybe his teacher was right, maybe he should just back down this one time, or else he might wind up in the hospital, or worse-dead. He stared one last time at his older brother, watching him from a safe distance before hurrying back to Kakashi's place, balling up the resentment and furious anger for now, knowing a fight with Itachi wouldn't lead him anywhere. "Try to stay safe, dead-last." The young blonde turned at hearing his name being yelled off in the distance, "Did you hear that?" he asked, his paranoia of being caught with the exile causing his heart to race, "I think someone..." Itachi shook his head, placing countless kisses on the teen's soft neck and grinning, "I didn't hear anything." He quickly retorted, grabbing the boy's collar and unzipping it in a hurry. "Now, let's get going..." he muttered quietly into Naruto's ear, giving it a playful bite. "Wh-what are you doing?" "Shh, come on puppy, we're going to take a swim." The eldest Uchiha murmured, beginning to remove his own clothing as the young blonde bashfully shed his own, grabbing the waistline of his pants and slowly unzipping them, a bright blush wandering to his cheeks. Naruto slid the orange pants down his own legs, swallowing hard, "Itachi, why are we...?" his questions were interrupted by the seductive Uchiha's lips capturing his own and ravaging them any way he pleased, separating the kiss with a wide smirk. "Don't ask pointless questions, puppy. It'll be fun, or don't you want me to wash your back?" he asked, knowing the desperately lonely boy could not refuse this sort of treatment. The blonde decided to stop his constant inquiries and simply go with the flow, watching as Itachi discarded his own clothing, all except his thin pair of boxer shorts. The eldest Uchiha disappointed the young fox when he stepped into the lake with that annoying piece of clothing still on his lower half. Soon after Naruto dipped his toes inside, feeling how cold the lake was at this time of night, "W-won't someone see us?" he asked suspiciously, his pearl blue eyes scanning the area. Itachi pulled the blonde in, grabbing him around his small stomach and yanking him into the frigid water with a wide grin, "That's half the excitement." He advised. Really though, his intentions were much different. He and Naruto were to be seen that night, but only by one certain person. Kakashi would arrive any second now to feed that cat, seeing them together, just as Itachi had seen him with his younger brother. If it all went according to plan, Kakashi would know the pain of seeing the one he loved with someone else. The blonde flustered as he felt Itachi's arms encircle him, his knees shaking when the eldest Uchiha pulled him back to the side of the large lake, away from the shore to a grouping of rocks. The exile sat calmly on the large stone, water coming up to his waist as he waved the swimming young fox over. "Come here puppy." He encouraged. Naruto smiled, sitting himself on the same wide stone slab and letting his head fall to Itachi's shoulders. "It's a nice night." He said, feeling the Uchiha's fingers drag along his back lightly, almost tickling him with those delicate touches. "Yes..." Itachi agreed, staring upwards at the star-littered sky above their heads. The clouds had long since dissipated, making way for a deep blue atmosphere, trees around the lake wavering in the night breeze. The eldest Uchiha let his mind trail off to a time when he could have enjoyed this type of night with the person he loved most in the world. He shook the memories off of him with disgust, quickly returning to his mission of destroying what was left of Kakashi's miserable life, Sasuke's too for whe hhe had done. Without a word Itachi pulled Naruto's shivering body closer to his own, sitting the blonde teen in front of him and leaning his head against his small back, "Naruto..." he muttered quietly, calling the boy by name for one of the very few times. Itachi's cold hands touched the fox's shoulders, causing the young blonde to quake, soonelineling in the feeling of having the soft hands wandering his back, drawing abstract shapes before returning to the conjunction of his shoulders and neck. Itachi pressed Naruto's shoulders, massaging his back and leaning forward to suck on his neck affectionately. "Do you like that puppy?" Naruto let out a long moan as Itachi's skilled fingers rubbed his shoulders and back, letting out a breath, "Mmm, Itachi..." Itachi peered around the two of them, staring at the alleyway to watch fhe Jhe Jounin. It was at least ten thirty and there were still no signs of him. The eldest Uchiha let out a grunt, kissing the young fox's neck, "Cry out louder, puppy." He instructed, hoping the blonde's loud calls would alert Kakashi to their presence if he ever came by. Nervously Itachi watched the time, his blood red eyes darting to that same alleyway and back to Naruto's young body over and over. He couldn't believe he had not seen the stupid Jounin yet. Angrily he let out a curse under his breath, squeezing the young fox's shoulders harder than he should. Naruto cringed at the pain, "I-Itachi, are you feeling alright?" The eldest Uchiha huffed, "Yes, I, I just need to go." He muttered furiously, now set to devise another plan to make Kakashi find them together. He stepped out of the water angrily, stomping to the side and gathering up his clothing on his soaking body. "But, but, you just got here!" Naruto defended, swimming over and grabbing Itachi's foot by the ankle, "Please don't go..." Itachi smiled, this was one cute kid, demon fox aside. Heck, if he wasn't so dead-set on making Kakashi's life a miserable existence, there might even be a chance between the two of them, but unfortunately, all he was to the eldest Uchiha was a well-played pawn. "Sorry, but if I get caught, you know what they'll do to me, right puppy?" he pulled the blonde closer to place a sloppy kiss on his lips, sliding his tongue along the tanned boy's lips until he was granted entrance, playing devilishly with the innocent boy for a minute or two before cutting them off. "Shh, I'll come visit you tomorrow, alright puppy?" Itachi promised heartily, poking the young teen's nose before running off and disappearing into the distant night air of Konoha. Naruto let out a long sigh, crossing his arms on the bank of the lake and letting his chin plop down onto them, "Itachi..." he muttered quietly, almost pining for him to return. His blonde bangs fell in front of his blue eyes, his body shivering from the cold water that had enveloped his body. His heart was beginning to calm after his encounter, his blood run back from his face to the rest of his body once again. The young blonde played with his fingers for a moment, thinking about how Itachi had been treating him lately; honestly he had treated him better than anyone had ever treated him in his entire short lifespan. Naruto stepped out of the frigid water to the even colder and unforgiving evening breeze, hurrying to reclothe himself as his mind raced with a thousand thoughts. Naruto shook his wet hair out like a dog, tossing his hands through it and sending drops of cold water flying all around him. He took a second to individually remove all of the wetness from his whiskers and began heading back to his home, his mind thinking of nothing else, but the kind Uchiha. It was strange, from everything he had ever heard about Itachi, he thought he would be a lot more heartless and unforgiving, but when he was around the blonde he acted so normally, even caring at times. Naruto blushed at the thought, his tanned cheeks turning red as he took each step, a large grin plastered on his face. He had never felt this way about anyone before, his heart was pounding, his feet felt like he was walking on air, and there were innumerable butterflies in his stomach. With a loexasexasperated sigh he stared up at the dark sky, the twinkling skies seeming to shine only for him. "Is this love...?" Hahah, well there was a little Ita x Naru and Kaka x Sasu in this, so everyone should be happy! Lol, anyway, thanks everyone for all the reviews, they keep me going like the Energizer bunny. Oh, and big thanks to Uchiha fan, (sorry I hardly ever check my e-mail so I JUST opened it. And yes, I already have that wonderful *dies* picture, but it is in my Naruto folder which has over 1000 items in it, so it is very hard to find. Thanks so much for reminding me of its wonderfulness!! Hehe I love fanart, so much better than the real stuff. And sorry to ppl who don't like the 'puppy' thing, I heard it on Peacemaker Kurogane and decided to use it for some reason... I guess I'll answer all sorts of reviews right now, btw Kakashi did the whole 'call me Hatake' thing, kinda' like, 'call me sensei', but I don't like to use random Japanese in my fics, so I messed with it, that's all. Kakashi was being weird, like always, sort of saying a 'who's your sensei?' kind of thing. Oh my... Anyways, review!!!
