Azure eyes slowly opened, closing again as the morning rays hit his face square in the face. He was about to turn and found out he couldn't move as there was something pressing on his back and arms around him.

It didn't add up though, what was pressing against his back felt smaller and the arms holding him by the waist couldn't belong to such a small frame. He blinked a couple of times, trying to forced his brain to wake up completely.

Sitting up slowly, the long-haired blond turn his head to his side and gasped. What was pressing against his back was his son Yuji who was snuggled up to the younger Uchiha – he did not dare call Sasuke Yuji's father – while said person was turn on his side with his arm now laying on his lap. The arms was over Yuji in a sort of protective manner.

Naruto swallowed hard. It couldn't be denied it. No matter how many times he told his mind and heart that Yuji was his son only. When put next to the Uchiha, it was unmistakable that Yuji was the man's son. It hurt seeing how much his son look like the man he despise so much at the moment.

Turning around he was about to get out of bed and head towards the bathroom when he felt the once unmoving hand grabbed his wrist. He snapped his head down to look into calming dark eyes.

How long has he been awake?

He thought to himself, frowning when he wasn't let go.

“Release me.”

he asked calmly. His now crimson eyes stated that he was anything but calm at the moment.

Naruto lowered his head, long blond haired covering his face as red chakra started leaking from him. He felt the hand immediately release him.

“:You would be wise to never touch him again Uchiha.... Because if I feel any part of your disgusting frame touching my kit again I will do more than just burn you.:”

Dark eyes narrowed at hearing the deep voice that did not belong to the blond. He looked down e he felt the little bundle whimper in his arms. His eyes immediately soften at the sight and a small smile graced his lips. He wanted the blond to stay in bed with him. He wanted him to stay a little longer and not end this dream of his so soon.

“Leave Uchiha.”

Sasuke sigh and got up, hesitating a bit before he got out of the bed and walked towards the door, stopping mid-way and turning his head to look at the back of Naruto's head. He had to admit, that from the back, the blond sure look like a woman, with his long hair and all.

“Thank you.”

He said and left, knowing that his presence was over-welcomed.

Now, there were a lot of things that could easily pissed off Hyuuga Neji. One of then- and the first- is his hair.

For today's mission he was stuck babysitting a group of toddlers. How is an ANBU ranked shinobi stuck babysitting toddlers for a mission? Well, as of lately there have not been missions for his rank, and he had yet to pay his apartment rent because he had wasted the last of his money on buying new clothes and -duh- hair supply. And he was too proud to ask his lover for money to pay his part of the rent.

Now, why was he mad. One of the innocent little kids had though that playing with scissors would be fun and found the most interesting thing to cut. His beautiful hair!!

The fucking brat had cut of about ¼ of an inch off his hair! He was in a killing rampage now. Had it not been for his partner he would've grabbed the four year old and put him in hot boiling fucking water.

So to say that Neji was having a bad day was an understatement. But of course his lover who still had a lot to learn didn't saw the malicious look in his face as he looked at him the a charming smile and said the most horrible thing.

“Did you know that your hair is badly cut. It looks ugly.”

The response to that was a punch in the face and a mumble of 'You're sleeping on the couch for a month' as the Hyuuga walked away with an even scarier look on his feminine face.

Oh yea, he was pissed off.

Yuji's day had started great. He had the best sleep in his five years of life and his chichue had made his favorite for breakfast.

Right now he was looking for that Sasuke guy. He was looking for his father. His heart flutter at the thought. He now had an otousan and he couldn't wait till him and his chichue got back together. Then they would be a family. A perfect family!

He was running down the hall, to engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't saw the person that was coming his way. Bumping into said person he fell down on his back. Slowly getting up and rubbing his sore bum he looked up and smiled as he saw the person he was looking for.

“OTO-Sasuke-san!”

he hope the older man didn't noticed his almost slipped up. He wanted to talk to him and learned about him and other stuff like that. He was excited.

Sasuke looked confused. Was it him or did the kid sounded happy to see him. It made him happy.

“Yes, Yuji?”

The kid's smile grew and something in his heart was release. He had just made his son smile. It felt good and he wanted to keep doing it. He waited to hear what the kid wanted to ask him.

“Can I train with you today? Huh? Huh?”

The kid was really bouncing around with some extra energy, he new it. He was kind of shock at hearing the request but nodded his head none the less. Before he knew what was happening he was being dragged towards the Uchiha Training grounds.

Looking down at the small hands pulling him he couldn't help but let a small smile grace his face. He would treasure every moment he spent with his son. Every moment that he made the child smile. All of them.

Older blue eyes watched them leave. They were filled with sadness and hurt. His son was the perfect image of an Uchiha child.

Turning around, he fell down to his knees and allowed for his now long blond hair to cover his tear soaked face. He was losing a long-defeated battle with his heart. But no matter what he had to give up he will not lose the war.

Shikamaru was a very good friend. Even though he was lazy he was still a very caring friend. So when he had been told to go check in on Naruto he had not said anything and just walked over to the Uchiha Complex.

The moment he saw the blond on the floor sobbing quietly he felt his heart break a bit. Without thinking about it once he had kneeled down and hugged the blond guy in hope of comforting him. He would lie if he says that he didn't had feelings for the blond when they had been younger and holding him like this brought those feeling back for just that moment.

“Please don't cry. Do anything... But please don't cry.”

he said quietly. He felt arms go around his neck and hold him tightly. He wondered if the blond knew it was him he was holding.

“It hurts Shika... i-it hurts.”

He said, sobbing into his friend shirt. He knew he would be hearing later on how troublesome he was being but right now he just wanted arms to hold him safely.

“What's wrong? What did that bastard Uchiha did this ti-”

“Shika... He's taking my son away from me...”

Shikamaru was now more alert. What did the blond meant by that? Was that the reason Uchiha Sasuke came back to the village? But then, how did he knew about Naruto's son?

Before he could ask these question he heard Akamaru's bark and soon he saw someone kneeling before them with a worry look in his brown eyes.

Kiba put a hand on the blond's back and look into his lover's eyes silently asking if their friend was ok. All his lover did was shake his head and picked the blond up bridal style and carry him to the couch. If this had been, let says, a certain Hyuuga, he would've been beyond jealous. But it was Naruto, so he had nothing to worry about.

“Naruto, I'll send Sai over. He'd probably know what to do, but right now I got a mission to return to. Sorry.”

He said as he pushed a few blond strands away from those azure eyes that were filled with tears. He almost regret saying that he had to leave. Turning around, he saw Kiba with that worry expression still in his face. Smiling, he kiss the blond on the forehead and headed towards his lover. Kiba knew that he had liked Naruto back in the day and he knew that Kiba also had felt the same for the blond. Had it been up to them and their sick fantasies, they would both have Naruto to themselves in a threesome relationship.

“Let's go.”

Kiba nodded and whistle to Akamaru to follow them.

Next Day


Today, it was Sai's turn to have a very sour day. There are lots of people who know how to fucking pissed him off. And the damn Uchiha sure knew how to. Yesterday he had been on a small D-Rank mission so he couldn't go visit his crying friend like Shikamaru and Kiba wanted him to so he had decided to go today and find out what the fuck the damn Uchiha did this time.

As he was passing through the training grounds in the Uchiha Complex he raised an eyebrow as he saw Yuji walking with a calm looking Uchiha Sasuke.

Now that was very questionable. He kept on walking towards the house knowing that everything was ok if Naruto wasn't leaking red chakra and trying to kill the Uchiha for putting his son under a genjutsu.

As he opened he saw a very sad and fragile looking Naruto sitting on the couch looking out the window where he knew for a fact he could clearly see the Uchiha and Yuji.

“Care to tell me what that is all about?”

he said while pointing out the window the blond was looking out. Clouded blue eyes turn to look at him with such sadness in then he swore it could kill someone.

“Shit Naru! What's wrong?!?!”

he asked as he wen tot sit next to his friend. Wrapping him in a tight hug, staring out the window where Sasuke was teaching Yuji some taijutsu moves.

“I didn't know Yuji liked him so much? Is that why you're so sad? Because your son likes hanging out with his father now??”

when the blond didn't answer he sigh, turning to look down into hurt azure eyes he almost regretted saying those words.

“Yu-chan stills loves you. What I think he's trying to do is get to know the man that had been missing from his life. Don't deny him this Naru. I know you can't love...But please, just...dammit-”

“I love you and everyone else... I love my son....I can love... I just can't love him.”

Naruto said those words so calmly that it kind of scared him a bit. He wondered for a bit if the demon in the blond was helping with the pain at all.

Sai would never understand that. A person who gives his love away so easily. A person who gives away trust. A person he thought could never hate a single soul. How could he not love the man his heart yearns for. The nights he had stayed over to look after him, the only name the blond had said in his sleep over and over. The name he had moaned. It had been Sasuke's name. He may not like the Uchiha, but he knew deep down that the only person that could heal the blond's heart was him.

He sigh, Naruto was forcing himself to not love.

“That was good.”

“Really!!”

Sasuke smile once more, his son truly was beautiful, just like the person who gave birth to him. He nodded his head and continued to watch Yuji practice some moves he had done earlier for the kid. He frown, he was so young yet held so much power. He wondered, would that powered corrupt his son like it did his brother?

Shaking his head, he saw the glimmering blue eyes looking at him with curiosity.

“What's wrong?”

Yuji looked down and tightened his small fist.

“Chichue.... Chichue has been sad and I don't know what to do. Can....can you please make my Chichue feel better?”

Yuji asked, his head bowed. He knew from the first day he Chichue had gotten sad that there was nothing he could do. Iruka-jiji had told him once that he was growing up too fast. Although he still doesn't fully understand that, he knows that other kids his age would be boring to hang out with. But even though he knew more than other kids right now, he didn't know what to do to make his Chichue happy. So now he's asking for help.

Onyx eyes widened. There is something he wasn't expecting to hear. He wasn't going to lie, he had noticed the depressed state Naruto was in as of lately, but was it really that serious? Had the blond changed that much that he could no longer tell when something was really wrong with the blond.

He found himself nodding his head before he could comprehend what was going on but seeing the smile on Yuji's face changed that. Any smile that he put on Yuji's face was worth everything.

“I'll go talk to him right now.”

Yuji just nodded and watched as his otousan walked back towards the house. He hoped that his father could do something to make his chichue feel better.

Sai look up when he saw Sasuke standing at the door looking at them with such hate in his eyes. He didn't really care, he could return the glare full force but right now he was too tired. Yea, Neji could tire him out like that.

“What do you want Uchiha?”

“Get out.”

at that, his eyes narrowed. He wasn't going to allow no traitor to talk to him that way. Gently putting the now resting Naruto down on the couch he got up and walked up to Sasuke.

“Want to repeat that again Uchiha? This may be your house, but right now is a spot for a mission, meaning that any shinobi in the active list can be here and you have no say in it. I would be careful with the attitude you use towards me because I will not hesitate to use my authority to have you kick out of this village for good-”

“You will do no such thing Sai.”

Both male turn to look at the source of the voice and found ice blue eyes staring at them. Had it been any person they would've been shaking in fear because of the intensity of the glare. Yet, they stood there, looking back at the blond as though it was nothing.

Before any of them could say another word a black blur stopped right in front of Sai.

“Uncle!!! Train with me please.”

Sai had no time to respond as he was dragged away by the dark haired boy, leaving Sasuke alone with Naruto.

“You're worrying your son, I hope you're aware of that...”

Sasuke said, hoping that he would somehow get the blond to speak with him. All Naruto did was turn his head to look towards the other direction. The raven clench his teeth and with speed gain from countless days of training, grabbed the blond and forced him to look at him.

The moment Naruto felt Sasuke's hands on his, Kyuubi's chakra activated. He knew the fox had told he that he would not allow the younger Uchiha to ever touch him again and he had agreed to whatever the fox had in mind, he hadn't expected it to be this.

Sasuke didn't let him go though, he would proved to Naruto he would do anything to at least gain part of his trust back again. He flinch when he felt the fox's chakra flowing around him, burning him and getting into him.

:Tell him to release kit! You do not need what he is willing to give. He has lost that chance!:

He is Yuji's father.

Part of Naruto's mind screamed back at her.

:Do not tempt me kit.:

Please, Kyuu... please stop...

After a few minutes the fox just sigh and gave in to her kit's request.

Sasuke watched as crimson eyes turn back to those deep blue eyes he could get lost in. Finally letting the blond go, he fell to his knees before falling unconscious to the floor.

Emotionless blue eyes stared down at the figure on the floor. Kneeling down, he tilted his head to the side and stared at the raven.

“You are a fool Uchiha. Kyuu's chakra could easily kill you, you know that?”

“If my death would make you and the fox happy... Then why am I still alive? I came back for you... so that you could decide what my life is worth...”

:Damn brat:

he heard the fox sigh before he felt his body being taken over. Wise crimson eyes stared down at the figure on the floor, grabbing him by the hair Kyuubi forced the Uchiha to look at him. Half lidded onyx eyes stared into crimson ones.

“:He will not forgive so easily and neither will I. You are his mate I know that, but if I have to kill you so that he could be happy I will not hesitate.:”

“T-then kill me already. Death is something I welcome with open arms.”

Kyuubi shook his head

“:I wish I could but I've seen how the pub looks at you and that is killing my kit. He doesn't want his son to get too close to you for he is scared that you will hurt the pub beyond repair.:”

Sasuke cough, not caring that he was now spitting blood out, he did not let his gaze wondered from those crimson eyes.

“He is my son... I will not hurt him. Just..J-just g-give me a c-ch-chance to p-prove it... please.”

Kyuubi shook the Uchiha by the hair a few times to make sure he wasn't just faking being unconscious. Looking at the wounds he knew he had taken it a bit too far, sighing once more, he let the Uchiha go and started healing the wounds he had inflicted on him.

“:He will not forgive you still.:”

were Kyuubi's last words before he gave Naruto control of his body again.

You shouldn't do that Kyuu

:Why?:

You know I don't like it when you take over my body

:I just needed to make sure of something.:

You healed him?

:Yes:

Why??

:Stop asking me questions kit.:

Like any good child Naruto just nodded his head and look down at Sasuke. He looked so tired. He had dark circles under his eyes, proved that he hasn't been sleeping well

“I can't forgive you.”

he whispered before he got up and walked away, leaving the youngest Uchiha on the floor and going to go look for his son.
