WARNINGS: This story contains graphic mature content. And yaoi. And limited Japanese. And win. And Uchihacest (ItaSasu). And multiple other pairings, that will be decided later. (Hint: Threesomes are involved.) So if you can't handle that, then please, take your eyeballs elsewhere to get their daily dose of literature. This isn't really meant to be a serious story, I'm doing this one for fun. I'm tired of it sitting on my to-do list. You have been warned.

Chapter 1:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prologue: (A/N: I usually don't do prologues but this story needs one. It would be too confusing without it, so bear with me.)

He'd never killed the bastard. He couldn't find him…

Many years ago, a young boy had been faced with an impossible task. Uchiha Sasuke was supposed to track down and kill someone. The man who had killed his clan. That man was… his older brother.

He had been tempted, and feeling unfulfilled in what meager training that he felt could be offered by Konohagakure, Sasuke had run away with Orochimaru. The evil Sannin had him in his clutches for a few years… Just as all things do, it had to come to an end.

Sasuke had killed the powerful Sannin, proving that he was now stronger than anyone had ever even anticipated. He could have easily killed Itachi… But that wasn't the problem. The problem he then faced was finding him, while avoiding Konoha, and also beating them to him. It was a dangerous game.

Uzumaki Naruto had been the one to talk him out of it. Funny how that had worked out… He'd never seen it coming. Sasuke was just too stubborn to ever allow anyone to talk him out of his lifelong goal…

Somehow, the yellow-haired, orange-wearing, Hokage-aspiring, ramen-loving Jinchuuriki had managed to worm his way into Sasuke's heart… As a friend only. But in this case, it was enough. He'd learned that having the right friend at the right moment could mean everything.

Sasuke was still intent on killing his brother. That much hadn't changed. He knew he'd been going about it the wrong way, but there just didn't seem to be any other options available at the time. When he'd returned to the village, Kakashi had promised to really kick his training up a notch.

'Someday… Someday I'll find you,' Sasuke thought, as he closed the distance between himself and the huge doors that led into Konoha. 'And that will be your last day.'

This was the final step. He was giving up his chase. …For now.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-2 years later-

The Uchiha made his way through the village. It was the same as always. No one hailed him as a hero. Although, that had never been even so much as listed among his goals… Fame and glory was more Naruto's thing, anyway. All Sasuke wanted was for his clan to be avenged. And so far, that still hadn't happened.

The villagers and other Ninjas looked at him as somewhat of a redeemed villain. In their eyes, he was no better than the brother that he despised…

His one and only saving grace had been the fact that he'd managed to kill the Snake. If not for his victory over Orochimaru, he'd still be seen as a traitor. And incarcerated for it. They'd managed to play it off as an undercover mission for the Hokage. And the majority of people had bought it. The only ones who knew the truth were his team members. Team 7 had never been so adamant about helping him before. Luckily, the Hokage had been equally as cooperative.

But he knew it was only a matter of time. He was waiting until that day, biding his time. He was convinced it would come at some point. He would be the one to kill his brother… It was his only obsession. The thing that occupied his mind most of the time. And he was determined not to let it break him.

The girls of course were still wild over him. That would probably never change. The ladies always loved the rebels. It was a known fact. Just today, both Sakura and Ino had tried to kiss him. Or rather, to steal kisses from him, only to be shoved violently away the moment Sasuke sensed them anywhere near him. He hated it with a passion. He'd made it clear many times that he wanted nothing to do with him. Even the fact that they'd both jumped him on the same day did little to even surprise him.

Naruto was always so jealous…

Sasuke chuckled, when he thought of the dobe's response. He'd seen the whole thing, and gotten annoyed. But at the end of the day, everyone went their separate ways from the training grounds.

Sasuke'd never really seen the point in training. That is, until Kakashi pointed out to him that even the Hokage still trained. Tsunade was a Legendary Sannin warrior, and she still had to train. Kakashi was renowned in almost all of the Ninja villages for his prowess as a Shinobi, to the point where almost no one ever screwed with him in a real fight anymore. And yet, even he trained.

It would ultimately help him to defeat his brother in the long run, so Sasuke cooperated… At least for now. It wasn't that uncommon that he still met up with his team for sparring practice, even though he was eighteen now.

He was going back home, to the house he'd been able to afford with his salary since he became a Genin. It was close to his old home, just outside the Uchiha district. He could have probably lived in that section of the village, for free. But he couldn't bring himself to live in a place where the ghosts of his memories still lingered. It would drive him mad.

Just when he thought the coast was clear, he was met with a familiar pair of innocent blue eyes blocking his line of sight.

He sighed, exasperated. "Naruto, what do you want?"

"I changed my mind about going straight home earlier." He wore an obnoxious smile that made Sasuke want to punch the living daylights out of him.

"I thought you were tired?"

The blonde idiot fidgeted with his hands for a minute. "Uhm… Well, I uh… Was thinking maybe we could hang out?"

"No way!" Sasuke rolled his eyes. "I told you, it doesn't look right for us to be spending so much time together. We're grown men now. Act like it."

His eyes darted from one end of the small, lonely street to the other. No one in their right mind even came down this way, unless it was to see Sasuke. And the Uchiha really wouldn't have had it any other way. He had always liked his privacy.

"Ne, Sasuke-kun…" Naruto had a sly look in his eyes, which was typical of the blonde dobe. "No one's here right now… We could do whatever we wanted. No one will even know I'm there. Please?"

The only answer he received from Sasuke was a death glare. He'd think the idiot would take the hint. But as usual, no.

Then Naruto did something that surprised him… He leaned in close, and just when Sasuke thought he was about to do something stupid- Their lips met. It was only for a moment, but the reaction it caused was instantaneous.

"Ack!" Sasuke sputtered and coughed violently. "Get away from me, dobe!" He didn't know what else to do… He felt like he'd just been poisoned!

Naruto just pouted and pretended to be cute.

"Ugh, gross… This is just like what happened when we were twelve. get it trough your head, Naruto. I. Don't. Like. You."

He knew it wouldn't hurt his friend's feelings. He was always blunt and to the point like that. Sasuke was the type of guy who either liked you right away… Or not at all. And in this case, he did care for Naruto… Only as a friend. If it had been anyone else, he would have used Chidori on them and claimed they'd tried to attack him first.

But just to be sure, he thought he should clarify. "I mean, you're my friend and all, dobe. And if I was going to go after a guy, I prefer them to be older…"

'So he really does like guys!'

"I was just messin' with ya," The blonde boy played it off as cool. How very Naruto of him… "See ya later Sasuke." He left him, with his signature grin plastered on.

Sasuke sighed. That was kind of weird. Three people in one day? That was getting kind of weird, he supposed. He wished he weren't so attractive. Maybe he should stop bathing…?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Deep crimson eyes never failed to find their target… He watched from the shadows, as Sasuke moved away from where the blonde boy stood. He went into his house, and closed the door, completely unaware of the fact that he was being spied on.

He'd be lying if he said he hadn't literally hung on each and every word that left those smooth lips… His own curled up in response. He smiled at what Sasuke had said. It lifted his spirits in ways he could not even begin to fathom…

Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke, as soon as Sasuke turned the corner.

A/N: This story has a lot of pairings, but they're only intended as a joke. As you can probably see, Sasuke isn't really interested in any of them. I wonder who he IS interested in then? XD I've wanted to do this story for a long time. And now I'm finally going to just write it, and see where it goes. I will give you a hint, though. All of this is leading up to a possible threesome in the fic. I just thought I'd let you know, since it's not exclusively ItaSasu, though they are still the main pairing.

I think with most of the fanfics I've done lately, I was losing sight of the reason I started writing in the first place: To have fun. So that is simply what this one is… Me enjoying myself and writing what I want. If you enjoy it too, then so much the better.
