Fay: I am really starting to like ItaNaru more than I have ever liked them before.
Jayne: Does it beat SasuNaru?
Fay: Maybe. I'm not sure yet. The thing is, this story was supposed to be SasuNaru but I changed it a tad bit so I can write a fic that was supposed to be ItaNaru. This way people wont get mad at me for making Naruto change boyfriends halfway through the story. If you don't know what I am talking about, read Impulse and then read Control. They are a series about SasuNaru but I kinda made my fans mad by putting him with Itachi when he gets amnesia.
Jayne: By the way, shouldn't you be writing the next chapter to that and Make a Wish instead of starting ANOTHER chapter story?
Fay: Yeah. Your point?
Jayne: (sighs in annoyance.) Just do the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I own nothing!
Warnings: Boy love and a few harsh words

The two men could now see the large gates of Konoha. Both were now the same height although when they had left two and a half years ago, the one wearing a bright orange suit was fairly short. Now instead of a bright orange suit that screamed, 'hello world,' he wore a black fishnet shirt and black baggy pants. His hair had grown out so it didn't stick in so many different directions although it was still pretty spiky. All in all, Naruto had grown into a very hot guy.
This was noted by the two guards at the gate who jumped up in astonishment to see the blonde and Jariya again. They had been gone for so long and still the whole village talked about things that they imagined them doing. Also they gossiped at the look they pictured on his face when he heard the greatest news in all of Konoha.
"Are you going to tell anyone?" Jariya asked as they strolled through the streets of Konoha.
"Heck no! If people find out, it would be just like the old days before I got friends in high places. They would treat me like dirt and not to mention I would probably be kicked out. Bastards here don't know how to take things very well." Naruto had also grown an attitude over the years. One that screamed of dominance and power. Jariya couldn't even tame his behavior anymore. Only one person could, not that he would try.
Naruto pulled out a small blue book from his pouch. It looked much like Kakashi's orange book save for the fact that instead of a girl and boy doing naughty things to each other it was two guys. Inspired by the blonde beside him-who he found out was gay on their trip- it was Jariya's newest joy. Already millions of copies had been sold in different the different countries they had traveled through, most of the buyer's girls and women.
They walked the streets of Konoha until a small boy bumped into the blonde boy. Konohamaru mumbled and apology and looked up. His frown immediately turned into a goofy smile that looked like Naruto's when he was young.
"You're back!" he cried and threw his arms around Naruto. Naruto smiled and hugged back, not taking his eyes off of the book for one second. "Wait till I tell everyone that you've gotten back! Everyone has been talking about what your reaction will be when you see the biggest surprise in Konoha!" Naruto's eyebrows furrowed, book forgotten as curiosity took over.
"What surprise?" he asked in a confused voice. Just then he saw Sakura talking to Lee over by the ramen stand. She felt the eyes on her and she turned. She smiled hugely, running over to him and pulling him into a bone-crushing hug. Lee smiled and waved yelling something about running laps to do and took off.
"Is the surprise that Sakura got boobs?" he chuckled. Jariya hid a small giggle as Naruto got hit over the head. "I'm kidding!" He slammed his little blue book shut and started to put it away.
"What's that?" Sakura asked looking at the cover. Naruto blushed and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Just a pervert book Jariya wrote for me." He told Jariya specifically to not sell the book in Konoha. The reason? Jariya made one of the main characters look exactly like Naruto. He didn't want a few worthless rumors going around even if they might be true.
"I see…" She bit her lip. "It's…um…BL?" Obviously she saw the cover. Naruto nodded hesitantly and she blushed slightly. But all that was soon forgotten when she remembered something. "Oh yeah! There is this huge surprise that everyone has gotten riled up about. Everyone talks about what your reaction will be when you see it." Sakura nodded to herself as if verifying something she said. "So I'll see you later and then we can catch up. He'll be so surprised to see you!" She ran off without another word, leaving Naruto behind, speechless and confused.
"He?" He asked. Jariya shrugged and started walking. They walked in silence for a while both taking in the sights of the newly restored Konoha. Along the way to the Hokage Tower, people stopped and chatted with Naruto and Jariya both, but everyone seemed busy so they had to leave immediately, but not after mentioning this Surprise that everyone was so heated up about. It confused Naruto to no end.
Finally they were in a more deserted part of town. "How are you going to schedule your visits?" Jariya asked.
Naruto pondered this for a moment. "I'll go at night or on vacation days. When the time comes, I'll just leave the village all together." His voice was hard and determined. "Will you stop me if I do?"
Jariya was silent for a long while. Finally he answered. "No. I will make sure no one finds your location and never to tell a soul your plans." It was the best course of action. Jariya had come to love the boy as a son and he wanted what Naruto wanted for himself. He didn't want to take everything the boy had gained over the years they were away from Konoha. After all, everything that happened over the years made Naruto who he was today. It even helped his wounds from Sasuke's leave hurt less.
"I see." Naruto said. They reached the Hokage Tower after a long silence. It wasn't awkward or anything, just really depressing. They were almost to the Hokage's office when Iruka stumbled upon them. He hugged Naruto with such ferocity, Naruto could barely breathe.
"I missed you so much!" Iruka said like a father would after seeing his son after a few years. He stepped back to examine the boy and whistled. "I think you might have a fan club come after you after a while." They both laughed at that. Back when Naruto was small and had no clothes that weren't orange, fan clubs were reserved for stoic Uchiha's with no interest in women.
"I've got to go. Everyone is getting ready for the big party now I bet. The whole village is throwing a party for your arrival. When the big Surprise happened, everyone wanted to see your face when you saw it. Now, everyone is pitching in for a huge party to watch your face." Iruka patted Naruto's back. His confused face made the brown haired man laugh heartily. With one last hug, Iruka hurried off.
"I'm so confused!" Naruto yelled loudly. He stalked all the way into the Hokage's office, not at all surprised by the piles of papers that were gathered around her desk. He rolled his eyes and sat in a chair, startling the Hokage out of her nap. She looked at him dazedly at first but then smiled and hugged his neck-after jumping across the piles of papers all around her, of course.
"Hey there, old hag." Naruto smirked as she made some comment about forgetting that last thing he said. "How've you been?" he asked as she pulled back and went to sit at her desk. Jariya pulled up another chair and sat next to Naruto.
"I've been the same. How have your two and half years been? Tell me everything that happened not a thing left out." Tsunade pushed a few papers out of the way to stare at Naruto.
"Uh…" Naruto looked at Jariya who shrugged as to what he should say. Naruto decided to leave the bigger things out. "Well…I trained so hard I even made up a few of my own moves. And I met some people on the way and we trained some more." He didn't say whom it was he met and what they did and that bothered Tsunade. Why would he hide something? Usually he would tell her everything from what ramen he ate to what time he went to bed, so it was strange for him to give her the short version of things. She decided not to ask anyway.
"Well that sounds interesting." Tsunade smiled. "I am sure you have heard by now but there is going to be a party tomorrow afternoon in honor of your arrival. There is a Surprise for you and everyone wants to see your face when you see it. Trust me when I say that it'll be the best Surprise you have ever gotten." Tsunade smiled. "Here is a question for you: Do you still like the Uchiha? I mean, like as in love?"
Naruto squirmed in his seat. "Yes." It was true. He had feelings of love for the Uchiha. The only thing with that statement was he had just jumped through a loophole. Meaning, he liked AN Uchiha, just probably not the one she was expecting.
"I see." Tsunade's eyes fell into pleased slits. Naruto wondered for a second why she had asked such an off the wall question. Sure he had told her a few months before Sasuke left about his feelings for the stoic boy, but to bring it up now seemed strange.
"What time is it?" Naruto asked. He saw the setting sun falling over the hills. He had a date at 8:00. Jariya, who knew of his date, checked his watch.
"You've got 30 minuets to get there, kid." It would be nearly impossible but Naruto had done a while 3 hour trip in twenty minuets. He must have had a pretty good date because the next day, he had a nice little limp to go with all the hickeys all over his neck.
"Crap!" Naruto stood, knowing the trip would only be an hour long but if he rushed he could do it ten minuets. "Bye!" he called over his shoulder as he rushed through the door. Tsunade was stunned. Where was he going? Did this mean her excuse for not doing work was gone? She peered at Jariya who was starting to leave too. Damn. Naruto would be punished for this. He couldn't distract her from work by leaving!

Naruto was right. It had taken him just about ten minuets to get to his destination. He was now standing in front of the largest mansions around with a huge gate in front. The guard at the gate waved him through, seeing as he was regular. Naruto kindly waved to him and entered into the fascinating yard, one filled with so much stuff it seemed as though the people living here were infinitely rich. Which they were by the way.
On his way in, he stopped to give Tobi a hug who was jumping up and down saying 'Tobi was good boy so therefore he deserved a hug'. He had passed the kitchen and Sasori and Deidara stopped shoving their tongues down each other's throats long enough to wave to him. Naruto wasn't sure if that was out of consideration for him or not. He decided not to dwell on that very long seeing as he had reached the end of the hall where a large door stood before him.
He knocked and the door opened immediately. "I'm home, darling." Naruto called sarcastically. He walked in, seeing no one but a table with a candle on it and a small dinner sitting on it. Strong, warm arms snaked around his waist and Naruto leaned back against the hard frame of the older man. Kisses were placed on the blonde's neck and Naruto moaned as his lover sucked on the most sensitive of places.
"Dinner?" Itachi finally said after teasing his now blushing kitsune. Naruto snarled at the tease but sat himself on one end of the table. It wasn't a big table, just perfect for a small date.
"I love it when you do this." Naruto said as Itachi grabbed his hand and stared into his blue eyes. Naruto looked away blushing, trying to remember the last time that they had a date. It was rare but it seemed fresh that way. Like something new. Itachi seemed hesitant that evening. Naruto noticed this but he figured Itachi would get to the point sooner of later. Sooner of later meaning before of after sex.
It was before.
Itachi let go of Naruto's hand and swirled his wine around in his glass. Even though Naruto was under age, the Akatsuki let him drink because…well…aren't they an evil organization?
Itachi stopped and put his glass down, seeing Naruto stare at him intently. "What?" asked Itachi as he stared into the mesmerizing eyes that had caught his attention so long ago.
"You never swirl your wine around in your glass if you aren't going to say something is up or something bad."
Itachi swore under his breath. Naruto knew him too well. "I was debating as to whether or not I was going to give you this…" He pulled out a small box, which looked like the ones that held rings.
"Here." Naruto opened the box. It WAS a ring. Well what do you know? Itachi was into sentimental crap like all the other sappy semes. Naruto looked at the shining rings. There were two. One was an Akatsuki ring. The leader had gotten his finger size wrong before and they had to get it fixed. It was mostly to talk to Itachi when they were apart. He wasn't an honorary member but he had gone on missions with them before. Just as a helper of sorts. The other one, though, was something nice. It was diamonds galore and one blue stone that matched the color of Naruto's eyes. Must have been expensive.
"Wow," Naruto breathed. It was amazing. Truly breathtaking. Naruto blushed as he realized what the ring was. It was a promise ring. "A promise ring?" he asked, blushing harder and harder with each passing second Itachi didn't answer.
"Well, to signify our love. You know…" Itachi hated being sappy. He hated that feeling he got inside when he did something that made Naruto act like he was now. He loved giving Naruto things. Whatever it was, when it was for Naruto, Itachi would put up with that feeling he hated just to please his kitsune. It wasn't like Naruto had asked for it though. Itachi just wanted to do something nice for Naruto for once. Naruto was even giving up his precious time to be with him. He could be in his village sleeping soundly or something like that but instead he came here just to be with Itachi.
"Tachi-kun?" Naruto said in a sweetly seductive tone. Itachi looked up. Naruto never used that nickname unless he wanted sex or was about to break some kind of news. "I have been thinking. There really isn't anything in Konoha for me anymore. I only wanted to see my friends once more before leaving and now they are throwing me some big party. So I have made up my mind. I will join the Akatsuki." Itachi's eyes got big. Naruto was the only one who had ever seen any emotion come out from said Uchiha.
"Are you sure?" Itachi grabbed Naruto's hand again. "I told you that I didn't mind having a long distance relationship with you. You wanted to go back to Konoha but you also wanted me. I told you that I didn't mind what you chose as long as you were happy. Are you sure this is what you want?"
Naruto nodded. "Yes. I want to be with you, Tachi-kun. But that only thing is, I have to go with a certain plan first. I need to make myself a missing-nin first. I've got a plan in mind but it'll take a while to put into motion. In the mean time, I will continue to see you when I can. Alright?" Naruto stroked Itachi's hand with his thumb. In truth, Naruto did have a plan. First he was going to kill a few people randomly and then he would announce he was going to join the Akatsuki. That ought to get him in someone's bingo book.
Itachi smirked at Naruto and pulled him from his chair. Naruto smirked too as his back hit the bed and Itachi began to kiss and suck on his neck. Naruto hoped Itachi didn't make too many hickeys because Kyuubi thought it was hilarious not to heal them and have him answer to people.
"I love you." Itachi said as he bent his head down to kiss his kitsune. Naruto played with his tongue, battling for dominance for a brief moment before letting Itachi take the reigns. Itachi always won. Besides, Itachi just didn't seem like the uke type. Naruto was the ultimate uke.
"I love you too." Naruto whispered into the kiss.

Fay: That was mean of me. I just didn't feel like making a lemon for the first chapter.
Jayne: You're right. That was mean. What do think the reviewers are going to say about this now? They are getting their armies ready. And that army of hamsters is already outside. Do you have a death wish?
Fay: It's all right. I have K and Rage with me from Gravitation. (K brings out giant gun and Rage fires up her giant panda) I'm covered.
Anne: Hey guys! You don't see me very often but I just wanted to ask if anyone wanted to read something I wrote. Send in requests to all of us but I write too just so you know. I'm always happy to help.
