He smiled as he walked out of his apartments, locked his door, and ran as fast as he could to the hokage's office. he arrived in a rush of dust and wind throught the door. seated himself, and smiled. Today was a good day,
he didnt know why it just was.

"so Brat there is some news i think you are going to like." he was taken out of his musings by tsunade's voice.

"Huh?" he asked stupidly

Tsunade almost laughed at his cuteness but stopped herself she had to tell him.

"Well, Sasuke is returning to konoha. . . of his own will." she said her face graced with a huge smile, she knew the blonde would be so happy. How wrong.

Said blonde looked miserable, on the verge of tears almost.

"Great. . . just absolutley magnificent. I just get over all the shit he's done to me and he's back again." Naruto sighed. it was just what he needed sasuke to come and ruin everything he had done, as soon as he was back the villagers would hate him again, he had formed a sort of truce with the villagers after he had nearly died saving a little girl, now the bastard was back they woud forget what naruto had done and worship him. Great.

Tsunade seeing the ushally bubbly blondes face in utter anguish lent down and took his hands.

" what is it Naruto ? are you not happy to have the Uchiha back ?" she questioned.

" It's not that baa-chan, it's just . . . well i don't want to see him, he made it clear he hated me and well i dont want to be used anymore, im friendly to everyone and most of them treat me terribly, it's changed somewhat now but still i'm not giving my friendship back eaisly." he muttered

" Oh Naruto. . . why didn't you mention this to me ? i would have helped you. Oh come here." she motioned to her outstreched arms. He jumped up and embraced her immediatly.

" you do not have to come to his home coming meeting Naruto, if you like you are excused." she said through a smile

"Oh Baa-chan !" He cried jumping full force sending them toppling to the floor laughing, she smiled and embraced him back thinking about how much he had been through, he was her little brother to her and she would make him happy,
no matter what.

" baa-chan ?" she was stirred out of her thoughts by said blonde.

"mmmhhh ?"

" I love you. You're like my big sister baa-chan, and you are there for me when everything gets tough and although it may not seem like it i appreciate it. I would do anything for you." He smiled as he hugged her closer.

Tsunade was frozen, she looked down at the smiling boy, tears filling her eyes this boy meant the world to her, she would ensure his happiness by any means nessacary, he deserved it.

" Thankyou Naruto, I love you too otouto. she smiled as the blondes grin spread to that stunningly beautiful rare smile of his.

"Now get if you want to ditch the uchiha's arrival meeting he is already in the village." she smiled and pushed him out the door.

'Wow that was fast wonder why he's back anyway ? Probably got what he wanted and killed Orochimaru. Selfish bastard'
he ponderd as he walked to the training grounds.

" May aswell get some training in, distract me from the bastards arrival part-ay." he joked doind a courtsey to his last word.

" Finally lost it i see naruto eh ?" he turned to see shikamaru standing behind him, the lazy geinus gazing intently at passing clouds,
it never failed to amaze naruto how smart shika really was, he seemed to understand even if he wasn't looking or taking much notice of you.

"Don't take libertys shika i'm just escaping the bastards homecoming." he said aiming a soft punch to his best friends shoulder.

Shikamaru and himself had grown close over the years, he would help him train eat ramen with him and he was always there for the blonde, thats probably what he loved most about being best friends with shika, he always listend to his ranting and problems and tried to help him, no matter what it was he had to do he would do it for Naruto, much better than the friendship he had with Sasuke. he smiled rembering this all he was happy now.

" Baka! listen im trying to ask you something. and i'm glad your my best friend too Naru-chan." shika gave a knowing smile in the blondes direction.

" Yeh really ? Me too shika WAIITTT! how did you know ?." the blonde cried pointing his finger at shika's chest.

" I know you too well naruto. Anyway i'm here for you naruto you want to talk about the sasuke thing ?" His response from the blonde was being jumped and tackled to the floor, said blonde latched to his chest.

"SHIIIKKKAAAA! I love you! your the best you know me so well, and i'm ok actually i've decided to just ignore him unless he speaks, because i mean your my best friend shika your all i need, and i don't think i can forgive him too eaisly for ramming a chidori through my chest and all the hurt and stuff." the blonde sighed straddling his friend drawing circles on his chest with his fingers.

"I'm here for you Naruto, I will help you through anything you know I love you too." he said leaning down and kissing the blondes forhead, they often kissed and cuddled they had their first times i bed together and first kisses but still remained best friends, it suited them both and they got freedom and were able to be intimate aswell. Naruto turned his body round to kiss shika on the lips, there was always something so sweet about kissing shika it was familiar it was one of his favourite things to do. They broke apart and stood.

"C'mon Baka lets go get some ramen my treat." shika grabbed the blondes hand and they walked hand in hand to ichiraku's, the lazy genius knew it was the blondes favourite place to be, who didn't ? They arrived and Ordered Shika one miso ramen and Naruto 3 beef ramen. Naruto was halfway through inhailing his last bowl when a commotion was started behind Shika and him.

" SSAAUUKKKEEE"
"oh sasuke your back! marry me"
"have my babies sasuke"
"i love you"
"i want to eat your face sasuke!"

Naruto could hear the screeches and didn't have too look behind him to know that sasuke and his fangirl's had arrived. 'wow that was quick, hes been here what 3 hours and has them all back jeez they have no lifes' he mused cracking a small smile. He turned to face the crowd instantly spotting sasuke walking over to the stand, he grabbed shika's hand and squeezed for reasurance, earning an encouraging squeeze back, by which time sasuke had arrived at the front of the crowd looking unstirred dressed in the old uchiha attire.

"Hey Dobe." he said full force smirk in place, which Naruto noticed.

"Uchiha-san." he replied bowing his head, shika caught on immediatly.

"What ? Naruto I came to see if you are ok it's been a while ?" the raven asked looking bemused, not a good look naruto decided.

"Oh yes im fine thankyou, but shikamaru and I were just leaving." he smiled up, Sasuke only just seemed to have realised shikamaru was present with them and immediatly noticed their joined hands and looked up confusedly.

"You wernt at the meeting dobe, Tsunade said you were terribly ill ?" The raven said looking slightly annoyed.

"Did she now ? well i spent the day with shika-chan here, didn't fancy a boring meeting." he said looking as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Oh boring, it was a party naruto ? a boring party with ramen and the entire village ?" he questioned glaring at the blonde boy.

"Well not boring i just love spending time with my Shika-chan." he smiled kissing shikamaru on the cheek. watching as sasuke got redder and angried before clenching his fists and replying.

"Oh right then so do you want to come to dinner with me catch up now then ?" he inquired looking straight at the blonde.

"Sorry Sasuke just ate I'm gonna go back to Shika-chan and my house now." he gave a cheeky smile and did a few hand signs and in a puff of smoke he and Shikamaru were gone, leaving a very pissy raven behind.

"I will make you mine Naruto, you are and always will be mine." he wispered into the air as he walked back to the uchiha estate.
