Fraternity

Chapter 7: Climbing Ladders

Hmm... Saturday... I was suppose'ta be 'wake early... 'cause... I was suppose'ta... Kyuubi's birthday! Yay! :runs: "Party! Part-" :trips and falls: "Itai!" That hurt. When did that wall get there? Shut up! I'm not stupid. I swear that wall was a centimeter thinner. Stop making fun of me! I'll sic Sasuke on you! Okay, get ready 'cause I gotta make this surprise a big one. The big quarter of a hundred! He's old... I wonder-

“Are you going to stand there all day or are you going to go in and surprise him?”

“Itachi! Don't scare me-”

“'tachi!” :glomps him:

Eh? I didn't think Kyuubi was even awake...

“Morning Kyuu. Breakfast is on the table. Naruto's leaving with Sasuke.”

Nani?! Leaving with Sasuke? When was this decided? What about mine and Kyuu's birthday tradition?

“Itachi, Naruto didn't have any plans with Sasuke... Whatever you have planned is gonna wait. I'm gonna eat with my otouto.”

Well, I guess if Itachi planned something... “Heh, sorry Kyuu, I did plan stuff with Sasuke. We'll eat lunch, ne?” He'll have more fun with Itachi. This way I can sucker Sasuke into getting me ramen.

“But it's our tradition.”

(Itachi) “He's right Naruto. Eat breakfast with him.”

“Ne, I think we can change it up a little for the big two-five. Plus, I bet Itachi's got an awesome morning planned.” I hate it when Kyuubi's considerate like this. He's always doing what he thinks I want him to.

“If that's what you want...”

“I do. I'm gonna go get dressed. When will Sasuke get here?”

“He's in the living room.”

“Really?! Sasuke!” :runs and glomps him:

:smirk: “Morning, dobe.”

Watch this. “Don't call me that teme! You're taking me out for ramen!”

“Hn. Then hurry up and get dressed.”

“Yatta!” Told you I could sucker him into it. “Ne, Sasuke! Where'd you put my orange shirt with the swirl on it.” He threw it somewhere the other day after he took it off me... Teme, I can't find it anywhere.

“I told you that you have to clean your room. Here's you shirt.”

:puts shirt on: “Where'd you find it?”

“Underneath that pile of ramen cups.”

“That's why it smells so good. Let's go before those two start playing with their food."

:walking to Icharaku:

“Hn. How's that book I lent you?”

An Artist of the Floating World... As if I needed another reason to hate WWII. “I hate arranged marriages. They really suck. It's like having to force yourself to feel something that might not be there otherwise. It's not natural and in the end, you can't tell how much of a lie it is. It's like A Doll's House.”

“Regardless, you can believe that you're doing your Duty to your family.”

“Nu uh, teme. The only duty you have to your family is to be happy to make them happy. You should do what you want, but it should never be at the cost of your own dreams. A parent should only hope for their child to be happy and healthy. To expect more isn't parently” Heh, parent-ly isn't a word, is it?

“You idealize too much dobe. Not everyone's dreams can be fulfilled. You forget that when one's wish is granted, another's goes unfulfilled.”

“That's what compromise is for, teme. That's the basis of Family.”

“I thought you shouldn't have to make sacrifices to your dreams. Compromise implies sacrifice, dobe.”

“Exactly. It's like now. I can agree with you a bit and you can agree with me as well. Compromise, in effect, makes for happy people, ne? In the end, pleasing your family should be leveled with your own dreams just as your family should focus on your personal happiness.”

“I concede, dobe. Now order your ramen.”

“Eh? Oh, we're already here.” Heh, guess I was so busy talkin' with Sasuke that I didn't notice. “Miso ramen, please. What are you getting, Sasuke?”

“The same.”

“Ne, Sasuke... Has Itachi told you about the house he bought?” Kyuubi told me about it as soon as I came home from school. He was so excited...

“The one for us to move into.”

“Yeah... What do you think?” I'm not sure what to do.

“I don't mind. I'll be going to university next year so I probably won't be
living there still.”

If Sasuke doesn't wanna move... “But you gotta switch schools and all.”

:shrug: “I'll be in the same program I'm in now so it won't matter.”

Saying he doesn't care... “But what about your friends and stuff?” I'll bet he's just trying to act like an indifferent bastard.

“Dobe, you're the only person I can tolerate for a prolonged amount of time. I don't have any other friends.”

Sasuke thinks of me as a friend? I guess this means he doesn't just wanna molest and fuck me. “So you wanna move in or what?”

“If you and Kyuubi want to, I do as well.”

“Yatta! We're gonna be living together. It's gonna be like a big brotherly family.”

“Hn. You want this as well?”

“Of course. Kyuubi's gonna be so happy he finally gets to have Itachi everywhere. Plus, he's gonna be kinda like a housewife or somethin' since he got fired from his job. He can take care of us.” Like he's always wanted...

“The only person who is allowed to take care of you, dobe, is me.”

“What are you being all possessive about, so suddenly?” Then again... He's always possessive.

“Just eat your ramen already.”

“Itadakimasu!” Sasuke and ramen... Nice way to start the day.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Hn dobe. It can't possibly be healthy to eat so much ramen. Ten bowls... I suppose if it makes him smile like that, however, it must not be all bad.

“Ne, Sasuke. You wanna come with me to Kiba's house? Everyone's gonna help set up Kyuubi's party and stuff. Chouji and his mom are gonna cook and old man Teuchi is gonna cater too.”

:walking down the sidewalk:

“Didn't Itachi tell you that the party was gonna be at some ballroom he reserved?”

“Yup, but he said we could decorate it. You're gonna help, yeah?”

“I don't have much anything better to do.” Hn, I wonder if this means he'll be climbing ladders to hang decorations. The view will be nice and he'll need someone to hold the ladder steady...

“What perverted things are you thinking now?”

Hn, I did not have a perverted expression on my face. How does he perceive such things. “Where is Kiba's house?”

“It's just a little ways away. It's near the house Itachi bought.”

Now he'll be even closer to that ramen bar. “So you'll be close to your friend.”

“Yup, we'll be Iruka sensei's next-door neighbors, too.”

Great, we'll be right next-door to Kakashi's boyfriend. “I'm having sound-proof walls constructed for the rooms.”

“Why?”

“Because, not only will we be living with our brothers who fuck more than rabbits, but by living next to your sensei, we'll have to hear the sounds of him being fucked by Kakashi.

“Oh, that makes a lot of sense. I guess we better tell Itachi soon.”

“He's already working on it. He said he might as well since he planned to move in once we went to college anyways.” Really, I think he knew Naruto would want to move in.

“Cool. Look Sakura and Lee are already here. I still gotta introduce you to everyone.”

The hell?... Exactly where does someone obtain such a hideous green jumpsuit, and what happened to his eyebrows?

:Naruto grabs Sasuke's hand: “Sakura-chan, Lee! How've you guys been?”

:Lee waves frantically while holding Sakura's hand: “YOUTHFUL Naruto! We have been enjoing our YOUTH! Sakura has told me of your new boyfriend! I hope you will be very happy together!”

Is he on drugs? He's on drugs, right? He's crying... Are his eyebrows getting bigger?

(Sakura) “Hey Naruto? Did you hear about Kiba's dinner with Hinata's family this Sunday?”

If I felt sympathy, I'd feel sorry for the guy; having to deal with those Hyuugas.

“Yeah, I have a feeling he's gonna be calling me for fashion advice. I should just send him over to you and Ino, ne Sakura?”

He better not bother my Naruto. I have plans on Sunday anyways... I'm going to make out with him for most of the day. Hopefully we'll do more...

“Already have it covered. Me and Ino are his official stylists. He needs to impress Hinata's parents since she likes him so much.”

:Ino and Shikamaru get out of Shikamaru's car; Ino leers pervertedly: “Naruto! You brought your boyfriend. Ne, are Neji and Gaara coming? Maybe we could lock them in some closet again.”

They'll lock themselves in a closet. Those two are almost as bad as my brother and Kyuubi... Though my brother would chase everyone out of a room rather than go into a closet.

“Yeah, Neji and Gaara are comin' though I don't think we'll need to do anything. They're already together and all.”

“The Hyuuga and Gaara aren't even here yet? How troublesome.”

Troublesome? What the fuck is he on about? How did Naruto meet these people?

“Ne, anybody know where Shino's at?”

“I'm behind you.”

The hell? Fucking creepy.

“Ahh! Shino! Don't sneak up on me like that.”

(Sakura) “Where's Kiba? Why isn't he out yet?”

“He's probably getting primped for Hinata.”

:Kiba, Hinata, and Akamaru come out of his house: “Shut up Ino. I was just waiting for Akamaru to finish eating.”

That's a big dog. (AN: Referring to big, manga Akamaru, not the cute little puppy one^.^)

:chuckle: “It's good thing you hurried up dog-boy, here comes Neji now.”

Finally. I want to see Naruto climb some ladders already.

:Neji and Gaara get out of car:

“Stop having perverted thoughts teme!”

How the fuck does he notice?

“Telling an Uchiha that, is like telling you to stop eating ramen, Naruto.”

Hyuuga... He's so irritating.

“What are you talking about Neji? I can't stop eating ramen, but Sasuke will lighten up on his pervyness every once in a while.”

That's my dobe... Though I don't think it was his intent to defend me and it's not as though it was necessary.

(Gaara) “Hn, only when he's not around you.”

“Yeah, that's true. But you can't blame him, ne?” :grin:

“Dobe. Let's go.” If I have to spend one more minute around Hyuuga and Sabaku...

“Yosh! We will all leave to set-up a YOUTHFUL party!”

Maybe he's on medication and he drank alcohol while taking it?

“Wait... We're still missing TenTen and where are Kankurou and Temari?”

There's more? Why do so many people have to befriend him? Shut up... I know full well the dobe's irresistible.

(Neji) “TenTen is meeting us at the ball room, as are Gaara's siblings.”

(Naruto) “How come you didn't pick up Temari, Shikamaru? Now that she's your girlfriend shouldn't you do stuff for her?”

That guy is Temari's boyfriend? That girl is fucking aggressive and he's so lazy. Naruto's friends are weird.

“Because Chouji made me pick up his girlfriend. So troublesome...”

“You're such a lazy ass! Wait till Chouji finds out how uncooperative you're being. Sakura and Lee are riding with me and Shikamaru.”

“And me and Hinata are riding in Shino's SUV so we can take Akamaru.”

“Cool, let's go.”

Something tells me Naruto's going to owe me all of Sunday for this. Hell, he'll owe me all of spring break.

“Stop with the perverted thoughts.”

“How the hell can you even tell what I'm thinking?” It's too strange.

“Your lips twitch upwards a little and your eyebrow raises a little. You get this cute, glazed-over look in your eyes too.”

“Cute?” Hn, I'm not cute... I'm ruggedly handsome

“Yeah, cute. I like it.”

“Hn.” Maybe I am cute, but Naruto's the only one who can call me that. I'll kill
you if you even dare to utter such a thing when referring to me.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

:moan: “Fuck! 'tachi.” He's being especially enthusiastic.

:thrust, grunt:

“Mmm, 'tachi.” A kiss... I didn't think a birthday could be so great.

:thrust:

:pant, groan, thrust back: “Itachi!” :shudder:

:moaned whisper: “Kyuubi”

:pant, pant: I've heard that eight times this morning alone. We've been at it for
four hours and it's almost time to go to the party.

“Hn, liking your birthday?”

:pant: “How can I not with you around?”

:smile: “Hn, let's get you cleaned up, Kyuubi.” :carries Kyuubi to shower (bridal style):

“I love you Itachi.” He's been extra-nice the whole day. I've got a feeling it's not just 'cause it's my birthday.

:climbs into tub, turns on tap: “Are you exhausted yet?”

A bath? We've never taken a bath before. “Maybe just one more round?”

“As much as I'd like to, we need to talk.”

Uh oh. I knew something was wrong.

“Don't get that look on your face. I promised you I'd keep you updated on the situation. Birthday or not, I know you'd be angry if I did otherwise.”

Heh, he knows me so well. “So what's going on?”

“I'm meeting them tomorrow.”

“Can I go with you?”

“No. They won't need me for long. I'll find someone to replace me.”

I'd do it... If he'd let me, but he's being stubborn. “How long?”

“Half a year. Probably a full year.”

“We have to go through this for a year?!”

“It isn't us. I'm doing this. Don't worry.”

He still doesn't get it. He's almost as bad as I was. “It is us. I love you and
you know full well that means I'm going to go through everything as well.”

“Stop loving me.”

Worst thing is... He's serious. “You can't demand things like that. I know you don't understand love. Hell, I don't fully understand it either, but I know it means I can't just let it go. I can't do it just because you love me.

“I've always understood everything. How can this make no sense to me?”

It's cute how he thinks so deeply about this. “It's not supposed to. You just have to be aware of the fact that I love you just as you love me.”

“Hn.”

I think that tid-bit helped. “So whadda you say? Let's enjoy today and we can worry about tomorrow... Tomorrow.”

:nod: “I won't let you become involved. Not anymore than you have already.”

“'Kay. Just know you've always got me.”

“That's a given. I'll never let you go.”

:laughs: “So possessive.” :kiss:

“Hn. Just one. Naruto will be angry if I don't get you to your party on time.”

“I know.” :moan: I love my 'tachi.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

“Teme! The banner wasn't crooked.”

It's as though their relationship is a big argument between them. I'm glad Gaara and I aren't like that.

“Hentai! You just want to watch me climb a ladder again.”

I don't think I ever noticed how oblivious Naruto can be. I guess I just thought it was cute. It's strange. It's not at all as enticing as Gaara's perceptiveness.

“Neji-niisan, can you help carry that table outside. It's broken.”

“Sure, Hinata.” Where's Gaara? He's been away from me for five minutes already.

“Looking for me, Hyuuga?”

He knows me well. “Help me take this table out back.” Hn, he shouldn't wear fishnet shirts... It makes me want to grab him. Then again, fishnet shirts or not, I just want to grab him.

“Hey Neji. Don't get caught up in molesting Gaara. The party's gonna start soon.”

:smirk: “Worry about yourself, Naruto.” Uchiha looks like he's about to rape him.

“Eh? Teme, you're worse than that Genma guy.”

:shudder: Genma-sensei. His brain is just a giant libido.

“Genma-sensei?”

:nod: “The man should be castrated.”

“Hn.” :sits on table:

:Kisses Gaara: Even if I spend every second with him... I want more.

:groan: “Hyuuga.”

“Yes, Gaara?” I never thought I'd be one to be commanded... It's too strange.

“Have you packed already?”

“Yes. Have you?” We're leaving on Monday.

“You'll be staying with me tonight.”

:nod: “Are you coming to the dinner tomorrow?” I want him there for some color. It's all less dreary with him around.

“Hn, I shouldn't.”

I'd skip it, but Kiba and Hinata are going to need the help. “You're right.”

“We'll be bored.”

:nuzzles Gaara's neck: “Hn.”

“Your family won't like me.”

:bites, then licks Garaa's neck: Savory. “They have no business liking you. You're mine.” His family... He barely has one. Same as me.

:smirk: “Let's go back.”

It doesn't have to be that way. “Gaara.”

“Hn.”

“I'll be enough.” I'll be his family. I won't fail him.

:nod: “Hyuuga?”

“Hm?” Maybe it's too sudden and now he'll hate me?

“You really care, don't you.”

“Yes.” I'm not sure why I care so much, though.

:smirk: “It's enough.”

:grin: Maybe it's because he makes me feel like this...

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

“We're finally finished! We still got a half-hour to spare. How 'bout if we introduce you properly, ne.”

Dobe. I don't need to meet his friends. “Hn.”

“Great. OI! Everybody! Come meet Sasuke!”

:Naruto grabs Sasuke's hand: “'Kay, this is TenTen. She's awesome at weapons taijutsu and her family owns the largest weapons shop in Konoha. No firearms.”

:shake hands: “Nice to meet you Sasuke-kun.”

“Hn.” Weapons expert... How did Naruto befriend her?

“He's a teme, TenTen. Anyways, you already know Neji and Gaara. This is Shikamaru. He's a genius, but he's the laziest person ever. He's especially weird 'cause he's dating Temari and she can be scary.”

If he's such a genius, why is he dating Sabaku's sister?

(Temari) “You're just a chicken-shit, Naruto.

Maybe because she's witty. Hn, he's actually going to introduce me to everyone.

“Am not.” :sticks out tongue:

:Temari grins:

Just how well does Naruto know Gaara? He's too familiar with the Sabakus.

“This is Chouji. His family owns the Akimichi Izakaya and they make awesome robata. He's Ino's boyfriend and you've already met her. Just watch out. She's a pervert like that Genma guy.”

Ugh, a female version of Genma. At least she isn't throwing herself at everything she sees.

(Ino) “Urusai, Naruto! Don't say such things about me.”

:grins sheepishly: “This is Sakura. She's scarier than Temari and Ino combined when she's mad and she's got a mean left-hook. She's not as big a pervert as Ino, though.”

Hn, I don't like her hair.

“Naruuutooo... What have I told you about referring to me as a pervert?”

She does look scary. His own fault.

:sweatdrops: “Gomen, Sakura-chan. I meant you're sexually open-minded.”

Dobe, he's just making it worse...

:hits Naru's head: “Sakura-chaan! Itai.”

He had it coming. She better not have hurt him badly.

:rubs head: “Oww, this is Lee. He's kick-ass at Karate and he dabbles in Taekwondo.”

“YOUTHFUL Naruto! I am overjoyed by your generous praise! It is wonderful to meet you YOUTHFUL Sasuke!” :shakes Sasuke's hand:

He's on drugs, right? A human can't just act like this...

:whispers to Sasuke: “Heh, we're gonna get him drunk later. It's gonna be hilarious.”

“He isn't already?” Maybe that isn't a good idea.

:laughs: “Heh. You're funny. Come on. This is Shino.”

Why isn't he saying anything? This guy is disturbing.

“Yeah, Shino doesn't talk much, but he's really smart. He's gonna be an ety-etymaleogist or somethin'.”

“An entymologist, dobe.”

“Yeah that.”

“Uchiha Sasuke.” :nods, walks away:

“Hn.” What is this one on about? He's strange.

“Yeah, he's weird, but he's cool. Let's see, you already know Hinata and Kiba and old man Teuchi. I guess we just gotta wait for the rest of the guests.”

“There's more?” Why do so many people know my dobe?

“Heh, of course. I still gotta introduce you to Tsunade-baachan and Jiraiya and Konohamaru....”

He seems happy to have so many people in his life. If it makes him happy, I can't say I mind too much. He's still mine, though.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

:driving:

Naruto better have this decorated to suit Kyuubi. If he doesn't, I'm sure I'll make both he and Sasuke suffer through my 'Cheering-Kyuubi-up Method'... Yes, I do mean I'll fuck the living daylights out of Kyuubi to compensate. He'll enjoy it.

“Ne, 'tachi? Why'd you rent a ballroom anyways? We could have had the party at the community center or somethin'.”

“Because I could and I wanted to.” Not to mention the community center was booked anyways. I know he would have preferred it there, but this will better. I'm sure of it.

“Are your friends gonna be there too?”

“Friends...” He thinks I have friends?... He's so naïve

“Yeah, you know. Genma and Raidou and Kakashi.”

“Hn, Iruka invited Kakashi and Kakashi would invite Raidou which means Genma will have to be there as well.” I still have to castrate that man...

“So Genma's gonna be there?”

That's it, I'm castrating him the minute I see him. “Hn.”

“Aww, don't get pissy. I just like talking to him to compare who's a bigger pervert. I still say you beat him any day.”

Damn straight I beat Genma... At everything, except stupidity.

“It's like I told Raidou. You're boyfriend may be a super-mega pervert, but my Itachi constantly molests me and he radiates sexy so I can't deny him.”

Did you hear that? His Itachi. It's endearing the way he's possessive of me. Makes him mine all the more.

“Hey, Itachi, you're staying the night over.”

A demand... “Hn.”

“I-I mean, if you want.”

“I want.” I probably shouldn't. I have to meet them tomorrow. I don't know if I want to bear leaving him. Morning sex is always the best.

:laughs: “Don't worry. I'm sure we can get a round or two in before you have to leave.”

:smirk: He has that smile on his face. It makes me want to pound him into his bed, into anything really. It makes me want to be around him forever. He makes me sappy. I'd hate it if he didn't like it so much... If I didn't like him so much. :parks car:

“'tachi! Why'd you get such a big place. It must have been expensive...”

He's still not used to being treated. At least he doesn't complain like he used to. :gets out of car: “Let's go.”

:glomps Itachi, whispers: “Thank you.”

:kisses Kyuubi: He shouldn't thank me. He shouldn't make me feel this way...

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

“Where the hell are Kyuubi and Itachi? They were supposed to be here an hour ago!” I'm gonna kill Itachi. I told him to get my brother here on time. Wait... That smile on your face. Do you know where they're at?

“Dobe, they're only five minutes late.”

Stupid Sasuke. He's just trying to get me to make out with him. He knows it calms me down and all so he's trying to annoy me by mentioning they're late every five seconds so he can make it all better. Trying to do it all casually like he's defending them. Well the joke's on him, 'cause I ain't biting! :grabs Sasuke: “Mau! Sasuke, I'm kicking your brother's ass when he gets here and you're gonna help me.”

“Dobe. Just calm down.”

Hm, it feels good when he pets my head like that...

“Are you purring?”

“Hey! I didn't say you could stop!” :pouts:

:chuckle: “I wasn't going to, but you didn't answer my question.”

Teme, I'm not gonna admit to that. “Shut u-”

“Your brothers are making out in the parking-lot.”

“WHAT! Why didn't anyone tell me? Thanks Neji.” :grabs Sasuke's hand and begins to run: “Hurry up Sasuke!” Why isn't he running?-!

:loud moan:

Oh no! They're going to have sex right here. My eyes! My ears!

:squeal: “Oh. My. God! Woot! This is the hottest thing I've ever seen!”

“Ino! Don't say that about my brother!” Why is this happening?!

“Oh. My. God! That is so hot. Please Raidou, can I join?”

Noooo! That Genma guy is here. Wait... Are they?... They're going into the car! O.O

“Don't have a heart-attack, dobe. They'll be done soon.”

Teme. That doesn't make me feel better! “What! They can't do this here.” They're already late and Ino's having a nose-bleed.

“Why not? Me and Raidou have sex in public places all the time.”

:hits Genma: “Urusai.”

“Itai! So mean, Raidou...”

Oh, no. Kyuubi's gonna turn into a super pervert like them...

“ITACHI!”

Waah! My ears.

“Let's go inside dobe. I'll get you some ramen.”

:walking through entrance:

I'm scarred for life. “Ramen? I-I like ramen.” I'm still kicking Itachi's ass for being late. Just 'cause they made it to the parking-lot doesn't mean he got Kyuubi here on time.

“Come on. I'll pet you too.”

“Okay. But don't mention my purring teme!” :grabs Sasuke's hand:

(Genma) “Purring? He purrs during sex? Let me have a turn Sasuke!”

Eh? That's gross.

:Sasuke punches Genma, mumbles: “Pervert.”

Ha! That's what he gets.

“So it's true. You really did get yourself an Uchiha, brat.”

“Don't call me a brat you old hag!” Tsunade-baachan's here. Woot!

“Respect your elders, gaki! Introduce me properly!”

“Fine! Sasuke, this is Tsunade-baachan. She's an old hag who sucks at gambling, but she can be pretty cool.” She's been helping me achieve my dream. Oh, I haven't told you about it yet, have I?

“Watch it brat. Keep calling me those names and Sasuke here will have some interesting pictures on his hands.”

“You wouldn't.” Not the ones of me taking a shower! I don't even know why she has those, but she always uses them as blackmail!

“I would.”

Ahh! She would. “Heh, come on Sasuke. I have to show you that thing...” Ha! I fooled her. There's no way she saw through my slick excuse.

“Dobe.”

“Don't call me that!”

“That old man over there. Why is he grinning at us like that?”

“Ero-sempai!”

“I told you not to call me that! So this is your boyfriend, huh? Guess you ended up like your brother after all.”

“Yeah I did! And I'm proud of it too!” Heh, look at Sasuke... He's... He's grinning. So cute... :glomps Sasuke and laughs: “Now you're blushing!”

:mumbles: “Dobe.”

:pouts: I told him not to call me that. I'm starting to think it's like a pet name or somethin'.

:chuckles: “Glad to see you happy, brat. Where's the birthday boy?”

“Probably unwinding in the car with Itachi.” Stupid Itachi...

“Eh? They had sex right now and I missed it?”

“Pervert.” Probably wanted to write about it in his stupid novels. Such crappy plot lines. The writing's good, but the situations don't interest me.

“Naruto! You guys didn't have to do all this for me!”

Heh, Kyuubi likes it. “Kyuubiiii! You're late!”

“Sorry. We had actually gotten out of the car-”

“Which was a feat in itself.”

What's Itachi on about? There's nothing hard about getting out of a car.

:blush: “So when we came out I kinda grabbed Itachi and kissed him and things got out of control...”

Gross! I didn't need to know how it all came about. “That doesn't mean Itachi's off the hook.”

“Aw, come on little bro'. It's my birthday. Plus, how can you be mad at this face?” :pinches Itachi's cheek:

HOLY SHIT! Is he really allowed to do that, in public?

“Let's go mingle, Kyuu.”

“'tachi. I wanna make out some more!”

:smirks:

What the hell? Are they?... They're really just going to sit and make-out.

“I'm going to stick my tongue in your mouth. Stop gaping.”

“NANI! Pervert. If you stick your tongue in my mouth I'll bite it off.” Hm, maybe
I wouldn't 'cause that would be gross, but I'll kick his ass.

“Tongue? Biting? When? I'm up for it.”

:smacks Genma: “Go away before I remind my brother he's supposed to have you castrated.”

Itachi's planning to have him castrated? Can he legally do that?

“Itai! He can't do it against my will!”

“He knows people, remember?”

“Eeep! O-okay. I won't touch your boyfriend.”

Eh? When did Sasuke threaten him not to touch me? I missed something...

“Glad you understand. Let's go dobe. That wall over there is missing a balloon.” :drags Naruto:

“What?-! Who cares!” A stinkin' balloon. How does he notice stuff like that?

“Itachi cares. Climb up the ladder.”

“Pervert! You just wanna see me climb up the ladder, again!” Stupid teme. If that's what he wants, then fine, I'll make sure he gets a nose-bleed. Imma moon him. Heh, this is gonna be fun. I'm due for some fun with Sasuke anyways.

End Chapter 7

Um, that chapter was weird too. Let's just say it's a good thing it was getting so long or we would have suffered through a drunk Lee.

IMPORTANT Erm.. For the update alerts, I need you to review for the current chapter. I.e, If you didn't review for chapter 6, I didn't send you an alert for chapter seven. If you don't review for this chapter, I won't alert you about chapter 8's update. Once again, by review, I mean just hit the little 'review button' leave your e-mail, and that will suffice. You don't even have to write an acual review. I just need to know you're still reading the story so when I send out an alert e-mail, I know you still want to be alerted. Who knows, you might get tired of this fic and not want to read it anymore^.^

Questions:

How will Itachi's meeting with the Akatsuki go? How will Kiba's dinner with the Hyuuga's go? How will Genma avoid castration? What kind of fun with Sasuke is Naruto referring to?

Find out all the answers to these questions and more in the next chapter of Fraternity.
