August {week One}

*Knock Knock Knock*

That was the sound that continued to infiltrate a certain twenty year old blonde's room in his personal suite, try as he might to tune the annoying sound out, it was very persistent. He thought, briefly, that maybe if he hadn't locked his door before he fell asleep last night, or rather earlier this morning, the sound would not be giving him the headache he was now harboring, but he quickly remembered what usually happened if he had left it unlocked and overslept, as he currently was doing, the resulting annoyance would've been far worse. As his head threatened to split from the knocking, he turned over onto his stomach and pulled a pillow over his head in an attempt to block out the repetitious sound.

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

"Naruto! Open up this door right this minute or I'm breaking the damn thing down!" An all too familiar voice thrilled as the pounding on the door continued and began to rattle.

"Just five more minutes mom!" Naruto mumbled towards the endangered door. 'It'll be a pain if she breaks my door… again.' He thought and groaned.

"You've been saying that for the last fifteen minutes! Now get-" His mother began to threaten before another voice interjected.

"Kushina, please calm down, I'll get him up. We don't want another broken door." The deeper voice assured his mother.

"Crap… dad." Naruto thought and rolled onto his back to stare at the ceiling.

"Oh really Minato, have you even waken Kyuubi yet?" Kushina questioned her husband.

"Hahah, just barely dear." Minato laughed.

As Naruto listened to the conversation outside his door, he tensed as he listened to his dads' voice. He knew he'd better get up and fast. Because he knew all too well what kind of punishments his dad issued and today, rather this month he really wanted what he knew his dad would suspend him from using.

"Naruto," His dad called in a sing-song voice, "Get up now or else." He continued in a serious and final tone. Said tanned blonde then quickly fell out of his bed and all but sprinted across his room to the door and yanked it open.

"Okay okay dad! I'm up! Geez." Naruto exclaimed as his cerulean eyes met with equally blue eyes.

"Good," Minato grinned widely, "Now, hurry up and get dressed or I will have you and your brother dropped off at the university today." He threatened and proceeded to muss his sons' blonde bed hair.

"No need pops!" The tanned boy said quickly with his hands raised in defense and turned back into his room to his master bathroom.

As Naruto quickly finished his ministrations in the shower, he stepped out and wrapped a towel around his waist that had little bowls of ramen and little logo's that read 'Ramen Time!' on it and went to brush his teeth, once he was done he looked at himself in the huge vanity mirror above the double sink and grinned widely at himself.

"Who's hot?" He asked his reflection with a wink, he watched as the water from the shower beaded and dropped from his golden hair and slowly trailed down his tan toned torso.

"You're not." A voice answered from the, now opened, bathroom door.

"Who asked you?" The ogling blonde lazily turned to glare and smirk at an equally tanned male with startling red shoulder length hair and the same azure eyes as him.

"You know, you really shouldn't be talking to yourself. It's a sign of going crazy." The redhead stated as the blonde brushed past him and barked a laugh.

"Ha! Wow really? I didn't know that, even considering that my minor is Health. Iruka must have skipped that lesson last year," Naruto exclaimed sarcastically and rolled his eyes, "Anyways Kyuu, shouldn't you be heading to class? It is the first day after all." He continued and turned to raise a golden brow at the redhead.

"I'll be fine. I've at least got enough time to make sure my little bro actually goes to class," Kyuubi faked concern, "What with it being the first day and all." He added sarcastically and moved from the bathroom door in favor of sitting on the younger males' king size bed, all the while eyeing the blonde as he checked his phone and seemed to send a message. 'Rise and shine!' Naruto text to a certain someone on the floor below and set his phone back on his night stand.

"Yeah, as if, I know you're just stalling for time 'til Itachi texts you that he's about to head to campus." Naruto laughed and walked in to his fully stocked walk-in closet.

"I am not!" Kyuubi yelled after the blonde, he then thought more about what the blonde joker had just said when something suddenly occurred to him, "Hey Naru, has Sasuke text you yet?" He asked the blonde as he came back out of the closet with a few articles of clothing.

"Hmmm, I'm not sure, I just text him a min ago though. Toss me my phone." Naruto quirked his head to the side and motioned towards the nightstand where his phone lay. Kyuubi reached over and proceeded to flick the expensive device towards his younger brother, who expertly caught it with one hand.

"Let's see," He mumbled as he slid his thumb across the screen to unlock his Iphone, "Huh, no he hasn't. That's weird and Itachi hasn't text you yet?" He turned his blue eyes to his brother, who was currently unlocking his Iphone.

"Nope, I wonder what's up with those two. I know Sasuke is as hard to wake up as you, but Itachi should'a text me when he woke up to wake me up by now." The redhead furrowed his brow in confusion and looked over to connect his cerulean eyes with the blondes.

"I wonder…. think they're getting another lecture from Fugaku? Though, I wouldn't be surprised if Sasuke slept through my message." Naruto smirked and removed his towel, only to swiftly slip on a pair of dark blue boxer briefs and turned the volume up on his phone, then stared at the few outfits he had pulled from the closet.

"Hahah, I wouldn't doubt that… on both parts." Kyuubi laughed and began to send a quick text to the oldest M.I.A. Uchiha. 'Get ya lazy ass up!' He smiled at the text and hit the send icon.

"Man, I don't envy them. Though we did almost get our rides revoked by pops for over sleeping, that's just as bad." Naruto grimaced and mocked a shudder. He then returned two of the three outfits he had laid out, having finally settled on what to wear.

"Ugh, don't remind me!" Kyuubi groaned. 'Even though I'm past the age of having my father limiting me from using what's mine.' He mentally mused.

The redhead then slipped his phone into the side pocket of his pants and watched his blonde goofy brother, briefly staring at the whisker like scars on his cheeks, hastily dress himself, knowing that they were both still at risk of being dropped off at the university if they didn't hurry. Just when the blonde was finally looking himself over in the mirror, Kyuubi's phone began to ring and buzz loudly. The very familiar song playing, with the vibration, indicated he had a text from a particular someone. He inwardly smirked as Nelly Furtado's- 'promiscuous girl' blared through his pocket.

'Promiscuous boy
you already know
that I'm all yours
what you waiting for?'

He then dug his phone from his pocket and unlocked it, only to laugh out loud at what it read. 'Who the hell R U callin' lazy?' Kyuubi could practically feel the glare, which was undoubtedly being made while the sender text it, coming through the phone.

"Well, looks like Itachi might be mad at me now Naru!" Kyuubi said with a devastated voice, which would've been believable had it not been for the face splitting grin that spread across his tanned face. He quickly replied to the message with the silly grin still in place, 'Oh, good u'r awake. Now I can kick ya ass 4 not waking me up earlier!' His smile then grew impossibly wider as he sent the text.

"You know you're asking for him to kick ya ass right Kyuu? Especially once he hears that new ringtone you gave him." Naruto shook his head as he slipped on his shoes, which finally made him fully dressed and ready to go.

"Yeah yeah, anyways, you shouldn't be worrying about me. You should be at least a little miffed that Sasuke hasn't text you back yet." The redhead said as he stood up and headed for the bedroom door.

"I'd rather not get on the bad side of an ornery Uchiha. I know what happens when you do." The blonde grimaced at a memory of having done so a few months back. Sasuke had spent the night and Naruto, not seeming to remember what happens whenever he rudely wakes Sasuke, had all but slung the raven out of the bed. Long story short, said whisker face boy had ended up with a concussion, he considered himself lucky that day.

"Hahah, touché little brother, but 'Tachi will be just fine. This is his punishment for not waking me up." Kyuubi smirked and as if on cue, his phone began to ring that same song and only ring. At this the redhead paled slightly, knowing that the oldest Uchiha was now going to issue him a verbal assault. He briefly wondered what would happen if he ignored it… he then quickly dug his phone back out of his pocket, only to realize it was not only a call, but a video call. Kyuubi swallowed quietly and looked to his blonde brother, who waved his hands frantically back and forth in front of him, silently saying 'Don't get me involved!' With a reluctant sigh he tapped the accept button and put on cocky smile as an all too familiar male appeared on the screen.

"'Tachi, how nice of you to call and a video call no less! I knew you couldn't resist seeing my face before we met up." Kyuubi raised a fiery brow at the screen, which showed a pale, long haired Uchiha with a glare that would make even death himself shiver. 'Damn he's sexy.' The redhead thought as lust flitted in the pit of his stomach.

"Kyuubi," Itachi growled into the screen, "You're dead." He threatened and promptly proceeded to disconnect the call.

As the screen blinked back to its home screen, the redhead absentmindedly scratched the back of his head and sighed. However, a certain blonde was now currently laughing loudly at his brother's misery. He knew that the older Uchiha wouldn't really kill him or seriously hurt Kyuubi, but he did have his own weird forms of punishment in which to get back at his doomed older brother.

"Shut up Naru! Oh man, this isn't going to be good." Kyuubi groaned and slumped against the doorframe 'He better not bring that paddle, I won't be able to sit if he does and not the good reason for not being able to sit!' He inwardly sulked.

"I told you, that's why I'm not taking my chances with his crazy brother." Naruto laughed and continued going around his room, picking up and going through random things in search of his car keys, which he still had hopes of using. His searching, however, seemed to take forever until Kyuubi decided to guess at what his little brother was searching for and picked up an overturned bowl of instant ramen, which revealed a set of keys.

"Come on Naruto, you seriously need to clean this place up!" Kyuubi shook his head and glanced around the messy room, okay messy wasn't the right word really, he only had a few articles of clothing strewn… everywhere.

"Shut up! I knew where they were!" Naruto shouted and snatched his keys dangling out of the redheads hand, then stomped towards his bed, as he picked up his shoulder bag and walked after his brother, who only smirked as he quickly walked out into the hallway of the blondes' suite, he slightly paused in the hall as Lady Gaga's- 'Animal' began to play, the ringtone he dubbed right for a certain raven for the new school semester begin to play, he pulled out his phone and grimaced as he saw it was a video call as well.

'Baby I'll keep you up all night,
Gonna tie you up in case you bite
Animal, animal
Baby Imma lock You in my Cage
And I won't stop until you behave
Animal, animal'

"And you think Itachi is going to get mad at me for the ringtone I gave him? Sasuke is going to set you on fire!" Kyuubi laughed hysterically at his now glaring brother, as he quickly caught up to him.

"As if!" Naruto punched the cackling redhead, he then accepted the call and was faced with what seriously could've been Itachi's twin, if not for the gap in age, "Yo, Teme!" he grinned into the phone.

"Don't start Dobe, why didn't you text me and wake me up?" Sasuke glared into the screen.

"Oi! I did send you a text, bet ya just slept through it! Hell, my pops even threatened to have me dropped off because I overslept!" Naruto exclaimed into the phone as he and Kyuubi walked into the living room of his suite, where Kyuubi picked up his own shoulder bag and continued the main doors to the apartment style room.

"Well I didn't get that message and whose fault is it that you overslept?" The young raven remarked and tilted his head.

"Whatever," The blonde smirked, "Anyways you guys almost ready?" He continued and raised a brow at the screen.

"Yeah, you guys need to hurry up or we're gonna be late." Sasuke said and turned slightly so that the older Uchiha was shown in the background, "And give Kyuubi a heads up, Itachi just packed his paddle." He continued in a hushed voice and smirked devilishly at the blonde as his eyes widened at the screen.

"Oh man! Hahahah! Kyuu, you're so getting it!" Naruto laughed and smacked the redhead on his butt, then swiftly dodged the attempted headlock.

"Your brother is too cruel Sasuke!" Kyuubi snatched the phone away from the jeering blonde and sulked into the screen.

"From what I was told, you asked for it." Sasuke said and raised a perfect onyx brow.

"What! What did he tell you?" The redhead whined into the phone.

"Sasuke, what are you doing?" Itachi asked from the background and turned towards his sneaky little brother, who quickly shifted until he was no longer in the video and laid back into the arm of the couch.

"Nothing bro, just telling Naruto and Kyuubi to hurry up." Sasuke lied perfectly.

"Yeah yeah, we're coming Teme. Later." Naruto yanked his phone back and rolled his eyes at the now lounging raven on the screen. 'I wonder if he'd let me tie him up? I've definitely got to try that the next time we-' the blonde thought dirtily before his thoughts were cut short.

"Don't keep me waiting." Sasuke threatened and disconnected the call.

"Man, what's up with Uchiha's and proper goodbyes?" Kyuubi mumbled, the blonde only shrugged and chuckled.

The two brothers continued their playful banter as they walked down the long hallway to their parents' suite, Kyuubi jibed that the whisker faced boys shirt was going to cause him and everyone else to go blind. Naruto had chosen to pull out all his favorite articles of clothing, since it was the first day of his junior year. His attire consisted of a blindingly bright orange Abercrombie & Fitch polo, his favorite pair of faded blue jeans, that were professionally ripped and dark blue converses. His jewelry included a black titanium ring on his right ring finger and a short silver chain around his neck with a blue crystal hanging from it, which was almost the same color as his eyes. While Kyuubi wore a simple pair of tan cargoes partnered with a startling red button up dress shirt and black polo shoes, his hair would've disappeared completely with the shirt if it wasn't for its shininess. His jewelry consisted of a silver ring with a red stone in it and the Uzumaki family insignia swirl hanging around his neck on a medium length silver chain.

As the boys walked into their parents main suite, to check any memo's that they might have left for them, they were surprised to see their parents sitting at the large glass dining table drinking coffee. Kushina was the first to see them, she smile brightly and motioned for them to come over. The tanned brothers slightly knotted and raised their blonde and red brows as they walked across the vast living room, usually their parents had gone to the hospital by now, so when they finally got to the table they sat down with wary and slightly knowing expressions.

"You two look as if you've seen a ghost, youknowwhatimean?" Their mother exclaimed and giggled.

"Their confused expressions obviously stem from them hardly ever seeing us sitting here waiting for them Kushina." Their dad smirked and sipped at his coffee

"Yeeeaahh," Naruto drawled, "You guys usually just leave us a note or something, saying if you'll be late tonight or not." He continued and looked over at the clock on the wall, which displayed a time of 7:27am. 'Man I hope they don't hold us up too long, why did I sign up for such an early class?' the blonde inwardly shook his head as he thought about the insanely early class that started at 8:15am, if he was gonna make it on time he'd need to leave soon.

"He's right, to what do we owe this occasion?" Kyuubi asked with a small smile as he saw his little brother glance at the clock and sigh, they both had the same dilemma.

"Can't we just say that we wanted to see our handsome son's off to their first day of school?" Kushina questioned and tilted her head, which sent her shocking red hair cascading past her waist to pool in her chair. Kyuubi really did just get his looks from their mother, with the exception of her violet eyes. He and Naruto shared the same blue eyes as their father, who Naruto took after to a 'T'. Most people thought it was eerie how the boys took after their parents.

"Mom, it's college AND it's my junior year! I'm not a kid or a teenager for that matter anymore." Naruto sulked slightly.

"And I'm in my last year of GRAD school mother!" Kyuubi exasperated and ran a hand through his shoulder length hair.

"Regardless, you are still my babies!" Kushina thrilled and slammed her hand on the table. 'The nerve of these boys!' she inwardly shouted.

"MOM!" Both boys shouted in embarrassment.

"Hahah, now, now, all of you calm down." Minato laughed at the scene that had unfolded in front of him, "Your mother is only joking, and you ought to have known that." He continued and laughed even harder at his red faced sons.

"Ugh, dad, you just gonna laugh or tell us what you guys are still doing here?" Naruto glared at his cackling father, seeing this dark glare, Kushina then joined in the laughing.

"It looks like they'll both die of laughter before they can tell us anything." Kyuubi leaned over to the blonde, who nodded his head in a silent agreement at their hysterical parents.

"Hardly Kyuu-Kyuu!" The fire-redhead mother exclaimed, using the nickname she gave him as a baby.

"Mother, please!" Kyuubi scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Alright now, no more joking," The sunshine blonde haired father sighed, having finally stilled his laughter, "Your mother and I have to go out of town again for a medical conference, we'll be flying out tomorrow morning." He announced.

Hearing this, the boys were not all that surprised. Their parents were often called out of town for business the only thing was, that whenever they left for these business trips, the amount of time that they would be gone would always vary. The last time they had left was back in March, right in the middle of the second semester of the school year, long story short they had just gotten back three weeks ago. That was five months that they had left the boys to themselves, which gave the mischievous duo the perfect opportunity to throw one of the best parties of the year. They had held it on the 46th floor of the most exclusive apartment building in the city, where they currently lived, and within a one-hundred mile radius, which had 50 floors in total. The 46th floor, unlike the grand ballroom on the first floor, had been specially renovated for special gatherings and private parties, that party in particular had left almost every person in attendance with nasty hangovers the following morning.

"Oh man, how long have you known this and you're just now telling us?" Naruto shouted and shot up from his seat, "That's not fair, youknowwhatimean!" he continued his mini rant.

"What do you mean 'Just now telling you' you ever think it might've been last minute!" His mother questioned and stood up as well only to have the blonde tower over her by almost a foot, her violet eyes connecting with his swirling azure.

"No." He deadpanned and flopped back into his seat. At this Kyuubi and Minato chuckled at the short stand-off.

"Anyways," the redheaded male said through his final laugh, "How long are you going to be gone this time?" He inquired looking at his father, as his mother was currently giving Naruto nugie. Once she heard her oldest son speak, she ceased her attack on her youngest and sat back down only to throw a smirk at the blonde, who was now rubbing his sore neck and playfully glaring at her.

"Ah, at this point there is no set date. Though, I can say it will be at least two months or so." Minato said and placed his hand on his chin in deep thought.

"Great." Kyuubi sighed and hung his head. He knew what it meant when they were away for such a long time, though he was use to it by now. 'This is great and right at the beginning of the new school year no less.' He thought sarcastically.

"Poor Kyuu." Naruto placed and began to laugh at his brother's luck.

"Don't laugh just yet Naruto, this time, since it's your third year, you will be the temp V.P!" Kushina smirked at her sons' flabbergasted expression.

To say that the young blonde was shocked was an understatement. He was utterly astonished, he was ecstatic to be positioned as the V.P. however temporary it may be. Though he already worked part-time at the hospital as an RN, this was a new high for him. Kyuubi, however, was already well acquainted with being the overseer of the hospital on occasions, not to mention that he was currently a full-time RN as well, and was just a few courses away from obtaining his doctorate degree. The only downside was since he was already an RN, this just meant that he would have even less time to himself or a certain someone, who was now more than likely fuming from being kept waiting. 'He's gonna skin me alive' the redhead thought and sighed.

"Seriously?" The whisker faced boy jumped up once again, only this time his eyes sparkled with pure undiluted excitement.

"Yes son, I think it's time you take the next step in being my successor. That is, if Kyuubi would ever make up his mind about whether he will accept the offer." Minato beamed at his animated son, and then turned his gazed to his fiery redhead son. Kyuubi only smirked and rolled his eyes at his fathers' persistence.

"This is awesome! I can't wait to tell the others!" Naruto shouted and fisted his hand in the air. He then quickly looked at the clock which now read 7:53am. 'Shit! I'm so gonna be late! And Sasuke is going to kill me….' He inwardly cursed himself.

"Ah! Speaking of which," Their mother noticed him glance at the clock, "You two better get going or you'll be late-er than you already are, I'll call mom and let her know that we held you from class. But anyways, your father and I will come home early tonight to brief you boys more on this subject." She continued while absentmindedly scratching the back of her head and stood to walk over to her sons as they got up as well.

"Yes, I didn't want you to be late, but my how time flies and I don't want Tsunade to kill me, or you two, for causing you to being late for no reason." Minato shook his head in mock horror.

"Minato hush! Mother wouldn't dare hurt you or her grandsons." Kushina laughed.

"I beg to differ, last time I was late I came home with a bruised cheek and arm." Kyuubi mentioned as he kissed his mother on her head in farewell.

"Hahah, well, I'm sure she meant well." Kushina giggled and craned herself up to peck Naruto on his whisker scarred cheek he bent slightly to give her easier access and returned the kiss to her cheek as well.

"Ha! Yeah right," Naruto scoffed, "Later mom, dad." He continued and turned towards the door.

"I'll try to make it back early tonight, if not I'll catch you before you leave for the airport." Kyuubi waved and followed after the retreating blonde.

"Alright, see you tonight." Minato nodded and stood to put his dark blue blazer on.

"Bye boys!" Kushina called after them, while looking in the hall mirror and pinned her hair up into an elegant bun.

As the boys waved their goodbyes, they quickly made their way to the elevators at the end of the hall. Once they made it to the elevator, they both let out frustrated sighs as they had no choice but to wait for the elevator to rise back up to the top floor. Which seemed to take for-ev-er, but after a few minutes of waiting, the elevator dinged and the doors swiftly slid open. They quickly stepped inside and hit the button for the garage. As the elevator made it's descend, the two brothers glanced at each other and grimaced.

"We're dead." They sighed in unison and looked up to watch the countdown of the floors they passed. After what seemed like an eternity of being in the elevator, the doors finally opened up on the garage floor, they then hastily made their way over to the executive parking deck and slid their key card in the gated entrance. As they cautiously made their way to their cars, they all but skidded to a stop once they spotted two pale, raven haired men leaning against separate cars. Accepting their fates, they slowly continued their walk of doom towards the two death glaring Uchiha brothers.

Soooo? How was that? Not too bad for the first chapter of my second FanFic, ne? But one thing to mention real quick, 'Please pay attention to the minor details, like the jewelry being the main concern, as you will read more about it later'. Hmm, what else? OH! Yes, please feel free to tell me if it prattled on too much, I tend to do that when it comes to my stories, only because I have a very active imagination, in which I can create a whole autobiography about an imaginary person(s) if I wanted to! But as I said on my profile, I don't want to just jump into all the hot smex and fluff, I want it to build up to it and I want the story to have a true background and meaning as well! So if you can't handle that, I suggest you click that back button and forget what you've just read.
