Reflection
Summary: Who knew that you would go to war and find your reflection starring at you from the other side of the battlefield (and that his brother would fall in love with your son)
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. If I did, we would all know who Pain really is (honestly I was so f-ing pissed when dies as Pain's identity is about to be revealed uggggh)
Rating: M for violence, torture, language, and yaoi. All the usual stuff ;)

Pathetic excuse for an apology: Yeah so I'm not dead (physically anyways). I was grounded from my computer since like October because I wasn't doing well in Algebra 2. So now that its finals guess what? It doesn't matter cuz I got an A on the final. F you parents! So as an early holiday present I'm giving you updates. I've come up with my next idea and will also be updating Gaian Visions. But I will be leaving for Fiesta Bowl on the 26th so I'll try to get them up before that time. Look for the NORMAL WEST HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BAND on the Fiesta Bowl Parade. So this idea came to me in Physics, I was all like 'There aren't enough Yakuza stories. And there aren't many stories with Minato cuz we all just found out his name (at the time we all did)' So I combined them, tried to throw in some symbolism, and got this. READ AND REVIEW.
Part I: Ex Atrum (Out of the Dark)
The sun began to sink over the Arizona horizon as the final wisps of twilight faded into the endless ocean of stars. The moon soon rose up from the consuming horizon like a Phoenix rising from the ashes of the suns inferno; illuminating the barren desert below. During the day, this desolate place becomes a physical hell inhabited only by Cacti and creatures that feed on those foolish enough to trek across this place. However, at night this hell-zone becomes it's polar opposite; a freezing oblivion inhabited only by the endless river of stars and the iceberg that is the moon. One would think that no one, in their right mind at least, would dare to come to this place much less live here. Right? Well one could say that the person who lives in this desert isn't in his right mind, and one could also say that he isn't actually living.
Ch. 1 Crumbled Façade
"So let me get this straight," A shirtless blonde man said into his webcam "You want me to drop everything I'm doing so I can go to Japan to stalk a know Yakuza boss on a hunch?" the man finished as he leaned back, exposing his flawless tan chest.
"No, I want you to go to Japan to investigate a known Yakuza boss that may be involved in some activity that may threaten Japanese national security," an older man on the other line replied as he ran a hand through his long white hair.
"Now enlighten me has to how that is different than a hunch?" the blonde said as he fixed his gunmetal blue eyes on the computer screen.
"Um…well it's…uh…quite simple Minato," the man on the other line stated in a beleaguered tone.
"Right I'm waiting sen…" the shirtless blonde began before he was interrupted by a faint "Daddy," coming from outside the office lit only by the computer screen.
"Hold on a moment old man," Minato finished before he walked out of the office and into the dimly lit living room. The spacious room was lit by one lamp on a table next the large wrap around couch.
As the Adonis walked towards the source of the call, which by now had become more frequent, he thought about what he was just told in the office.
'Do I really want to go back to Japan? I mean sure Naruto was born there and all, but we moved away when he was barely two. Plus he's just about to start first grade and I don't want him to leave all of his friends,' Minato thought as he walked into his four year old son's room and saw a mop of spiky blonde hair, much like his own, sticking up from the top of the comforter.
"What is it buddy?" the father asked as he kneeled down to the boys level.
Said boy turned his head and sat up to face his father and looked at him with big crystal blue eyes before saying "I don't wanna go to school this year"
"Why? I thought you said you liked it. You teacher said that you where a delight to have, and that you had a touch of the ADD," the father said, mumbling the last part to himself.
"I just pretended because I thought that's what you wanted," Naruto said, cutely pronouncing his r's like w's.
"But what about your friends?" Minato asked, flabbergasted that his son would think that.
"I don't have any. Everyone makes fun of me because I'm shorter than them, or because of my scars. I can't help that I'm younger than them!" Naruto sobbed as he buried his head in the comforter.
It was true. In Pre-K, which he started early as well, he was found to be an extraordinarily quick learner. So they had him start Kindergarten when he was two years younger than everyone else. The scars where more like birthmarks, he had three on either side of his face. They looked like whiskers to Minato.
"Hey, don't cry Naruto," Minato said in a soothing voice as he hugged his son. "I was gonna tell you this tomorrow, but seeing as how you're awake already…"
"What?" Naruto said as he wiped a tear from his whiskered cheek.
"Well I just got an assignment in Japan and I want you to come with me," the blonde said to his mini-replica.
"Really!" Naruto said, eyes practically sparkling.
"Yep," Minato simply stated.
"Have we ever been there?" the four year old asked inquisitively.
"Have we ever been there?! It's only where you where born silly!" Minato exclaimed sarcastically, knowing Naruto would pick up on it.
"Well excuse me!" Naruto said as they both burst into a fit of laughter.
"How do you think you know Japanese?" Minato asked.
"Shirimassen (1)," Naruto stated with a toothy grin.
"Very funny, now do you feel better?" Minato asked.
Naruto replied with a simple nod.
"Good, now let's go to bed," Minato said.
"Okay," Naruto with a yawn as he pulled his Pokemon sheets back over his body and laid his head back on the pillow.
"Good night little man," Minato said as he kissed his son on the forehead and handed him his orange fox plushie named Kyuubi.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After fulfilling his duties as a father, Minato had to fulfill his duties as an FBI agent. But first he had to think about many things. Like why his son put up a façade of happiness because Naruto was convinced that that is what Minato wanted. So he did what he always did when he had to do some deep thinking; he made ramen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So wear where we?" the man Minato had been talking to earlier said as the blonde walked into the office with a steaming cup of Miso Ramen and chopsticks.
"We where just at the part where I say I'm in," the blonde said as he slurped some ramen.
"Great! A car will transport you guys to LAX at 0900 hours,"
"Affirmative, Yellow Flash out," Minato said as threw away the empty Ramen cup and walked into his room. The blonde climbed into bed pulled his Pokemon sheets up over his body and drifted off to sleep.
