Sasuke Uchiha was known as a heartthrob. With his brown midnight bangs, ash grey narrowed eyes (that scared the fuck out of everyone when he was pissed), slightly pale skin, cold
demeanor, enough smarts to pass for some of the best colleges in Japan with little effort, popularity among the female population(two things he hated; popularity and girls), he was the
only one to pass his highschool exams, apart from one certain Huuyga, with the highest possible GPA in the school. He was cool, he was calm, he-
Right now, Sasuke was one thing, and one thing only; annoyed.
He was, at the moment, leaning against the wall that connected the kitchen to the living room, watching pitilessly as his supposed older brother had a go at sprinting around the room
like either he was training for the Olympics or like his life depended on it, Sasuke couldn't decide. And to make it worse, his brother was screaming like at the top of his lungs like either a
little girl enjoying the beach or a woman trying to stop herself getting raped. Again Sasuke had trouble deciding. His nose twitched. Two things that were quite high up on the list of
things Uchihas never did was running and screaming from or for some purely ridiculous reason.
'Idiots. How could mother leave him in charge is a wonder…"
"Itachi, stop prancing around the room like a moron."
"But, but Sasu-chan –"
"Don't call me that."
"-If I stop he'll catch me and drag me back to his cave!"
"Anything to get peace and quiet."
"You really don't care if he permanently damages my ability to walk?!"
"You never minded when Kakashi pounded you before. Can you act like an adult for once. You too Kakashi."
Just when Itacchi was distracted with talking to Sasuke, Kakashi caught him tightly in a steel hug, Itachi's futile attempts to escape becoming quite the amusment. Kakashi, Sasuke's
teacher, for some reason, through most of his schools (well, you know, except kindergarten, because Kakashi and kindergarteners would not go well-wait, that's a good idea…)knew
Sasuke the best after his mother and brother, and smiled happily like a bunny that had just found a carrot, or, in this case, a scarecrow that just happened to find a lost weasel. Kakashi
wagged a finger.
"Aww, but we are acting like adults, Sasuke. Adults do adult things, and I'm very aware we have been acting very mature."
"You know what I meant. You two act like a couple of kids who just screw around all the time."
"Tsk, tsk Sasuke, I thought you knew by now that your brother isn't seme material, so what would he be doing screwing around? And I was so sure you figured that out that ni –"
"Do. Not. Remind me."
Sasuke shuddered at the memory.

Itachi, since Sasuke wasn't legally allowed to stay home alone(though he was perfectly capable of taking care of his self), brought Sasuke along with him when they went over to
Kakashi's apartment for the sake of it, in Sasuke's case. After innuendos that Sasuke didn't understand nor cared about and a movie(which in this case meant Itachi and Kakashi cuddling
on the sofa while Sasuke tried to work on his homework), and after they'd left, Sasuke remembered he'd forgotten his books. Itachi when back upstairs, saying he'd be right back.
Sasuke, after waiting for half an hour and getting tired of every female that passed ogling him, went up to the apartment to ask what the heck was taking him so long and if he could
hurry up with getting his darn books(he's ten, he doesn't curse yet). Knocking on the door and finding it unlocked, after muttering under his breath something about cornfields, Jason(1)
and blackmail, he stepped inside, slightly cautious. Looking around for any signs of struggle(okay, okay. Maybe he did watch to many cop shows) and finding none, he walked quietly to
the closet room; the bedroom. Pressing his hand against the door and not sensing any vibrations(he was in training! Give him a break that he didn't know…), he opened it and…mouthed
one very inappropriate word(that had never come out of his mouth before), matching the situation accurately. He slammed the door shut and ran out the apartment as quickly as
possible, snatching his books along the way.
Seeing your brother get pounded at ten years old is not a very good memory to have.
Sasuke couldn't look Kakashi or Itachi in the eye after that for two weeks.
That is, until he was sat down for 'The Talk'. Both….eh, versions.
~/~/~/
What snapped Sasuke out of his(traumatizing)memory wasn't the loud footsteps, or the slam of the door, not even the shouts and screams of protest that echoed down the stree
coming from a very unfortunate weasel.
It was the heavenly peace and quiet.
Sasuke, sighing in satisfaction, went up to his room to continue his novel that was so rudely interrupted by two complications. It was about a samurai who was to exchange his...body,
and honor to rescue his family. It was so sick and messed up, just the way it should have been. Sasuke was so engrossed in his book he didn't hear Itachi limping up the stairs after a
few hours, or the cheerful 'goodnight' answered to with a 'screwed up pervert'. Only when he heard Itachi's soft snoring did he acknowledge his brother's presence.
Sasuke closed his book with a sigh.
He was actually going to miss here.
One month till he was out of here.
One month till college started.

On a orange-sheeted bed in the Uzamaki residence lay a young, usually happy bouncy blond with his head in his hands. Suddenly, he looked up at the very thing that had him in this
state.
Glare.
Well, I did say usually happy.
"Why the hell do you do this to me?! Since when do I deserve any of this?! This is all your fault! If only I'd listened to mom! She was right! And so was sensei!"
Unfortunately for our little blue-eyed friend, textbooks don't talk back.
"I really should have taken those lessons!"
Just as Naruto was having a glaring contest with his summer work(and losing miserably), his bedroom door opened. A head of red peeked in.
"Naruto, honey, are you arguing with your textbooks again?"
"O-Of course not mom! I was just…practicing, uh, for my star of the year…speech! Right, and you know, I didn't want to bother you guys to help me, so, um, I…got my…textbooks, to be
my…audience?"
"Uh huh. If that's what you want to say, sweetie."
"Eh heh…"
"Anyway, dinner is ready, so you'd better leave your 'speech' for later."
Naruto could have sworn he basically saw quotation marks when his mother said 'speech'.
"'Kay, I'm coming now."
Naruto followed his mom downstairs to the dining room where the rest of his family sat, which consisted of eight people.
His dad was already seated at the table along with his siblings Kankuro, Temari, Naruko, Gaara and Konahamaru(generous little me decided to give Naru siblings). After everyone was
seated, they ate and conversed happily about things happening, like starting school, who-blackmailed-who confessions, and why the price of bunny accessories were going down.
After dinner, Naruto went back upstairs to hit the books.
Poor books.
Tired out from book ba-uh, studying, Naruto flopped down onto his bed and searched for the book he was reading.
Prince of Alchemist.
The most action-packed book he'd ever picked up, and it had to be a manga. Go figures.
Too bad it was so interesting he didn't notice Konahamaru sneek into his room with a few items in his hands…
Naruto closed his book with a yawn. Getting up, he went over to change for the night. He was SO ready for bed.
That is, until he heard what sounded like a stampede stopping at each bedroom door. His brother's doors.
Temari and Naruko.
What the hell happened?
"NARUTO!!!"
Naruto knew he was now officially screwed.
Naruto looked for a place to hide. He didn't care what he must have done, once they didn't find him all would be fine and dandy and he would have eight ribs intact like every other normal
person.
So sad his family wasn't exactly on the norm side.
Just as they reached his door, everything went quiet. He heard a chain of cheerful sharp taps on his door. Slowly, awaiting his fate, he creaked it open. There stood Temari and Naruko
smiling brightly. Temari spoke first.
"Hey bro, we were just wondering, have you seen our bras or underwear, or, I don't know, clothes in, let's just say, your room anywhere?"
Naruto wouldn't be ashamed to admit his legs were shaking. A lot.
"N-n-no, w-what would they be doing in m-my room?"
"I don't know, we just thought we should ask."
A few seconds of silence later, they snapped.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU HIDING THEM NARUTO?!! WE KNOW YOU HAVE THEM!!"
"What?!"
Now was the time for him to panic.
"I-I really don't know what you're talking about! I swear!"
They calmed down a bit. There was always a soft spot for younger siblings in this family; it was just genetic. Naruko sighed.
"If you really say you don't have them, I guess you really don't have them."
Naruto let out a sigh of relief when they turned around. But that didn't last for long.
Temari stalked passed him into his bedroom.
"Oh?"
She held up a blue halter top.
"What's this then? Part of the new line for guys?
Naruto gaped like a fish out of water.
Konahamaru!
That little son of a…he's the one who set this all up!
'I;m gonna kill him!"
Well, that is, after Naruko and Temari kill HIM.
"NAARUUTOO!!!!!!"

Ah, finally done the first chapter! This took me like four hours to do, because Ihad this all written perfectly on the laptop up to chapter two before it crashed, and I forgot to save this one! Gahh! Well, at least part of it's finally done. Thank you for reading, and bear with me through the chapters to come!(I'll be updating as fast as I can, which is probably every week or sooner or later, but most likely every week!) ^_^
