The Unimaginable Bastard

Chapter One

Naruto Uzumaki sighed in frustration as he stuffed his hands in his pockets, he had just gotten into a major fight with his so called boyfriend over the fact that he didn't want his little brother, whom just so happened to be Naruto's best friend to know about their relationship, come to think of it Itachi didn't want any of his family to know that he was dating Naruto. Naruto didn't think it was fair to him to be kept a secret from all that Itachi cared about, after all the ones that Naruto cared about already knew that he was dating Itachi, they didn't really approve because of Itachi's social standing in Konoha, but still Naruto was free to date who he chose.

Naruto didn't understand what was so wrong with the two of them dating, sure Itachi was four years older than Naruto's 18 year old self, but Naruto didn't really consider that an issue. He was legally an adult as was Itachi, obviously they could both make their own decisions. Maybe it was because Itachi's parents expected him to marry a woman in a few years, why Itachi wouldn't tell them he was gay was beyond him. Did Naruto deserve to be kept a dirty little secret while he dated women on the side just to keep his parents happy? Naruto didn't see how that was going to help keep Itachi in the long run.

"When are you going to tell your parents about me?" Naruto asked quietly after a vigorous round of lovemaking. He knew Itachi wouldn't really want to answer the question, but it was a question that had been eating at Naruto for some time now. He felt like after all he had given up to date Itachi that it should be okay for people to know that they were dating.

"I told you now is not a good time." Itachi explained turning over on his side to look at Naruto. "Father is super stressed with the business right now. I don't want to add to his stress even more."

"Don't I deserve more than being kept a secret?" Naruto wondered, he was getting tired of getting to be with Itachi only when no one was around.

"You deserve the moon." Itachi said. "And I promise as soon as this business deal goes through I will tell him. You won't always be hidden in the dark." Naruto sighed, he heard this line on more than one occasion, and he was starting to wonder if Itachi ever meant to come out with Naruto as his boyfriend.

"Speaking of deals." Itachi said interrupting Naruto's thoughts. "My father wanted me to take the other VP's daughter out for dinner Friday night, I'm afraid I'm going to have to cancel our plans."

"Again?" Naruto frowned. "Why doesn't he date the daughters if he wants to impress this guy so much."

"A relationship between me and that guy's daughter would be advantageous to helping the deal go through." Itachi pointed out. "I've explained this before, the business is important to my father and so it's also important to me."

What about me? Naruto wondered I thought I was important too? Apparently not as much as he thought. Naruto was really starting to think that Itachi wasn't going to change, that he would keep putting his dates with Naruto off to date other businesses president's daughters. Naruto closed his eyes, fighting off the tears, he was so tired of being made to feel like he was less important because Itachi was too scared to tell his father he was gay.

"You and Sasuke haven't hung out in a while." Itachi said. "You can always spend that time with him while you're waiting for me to get home."

"I think Iruka and I are in need of dinner. I need to talk to him." Naruto murmured. "Speaking of brother's I think it's time that we let him in on our relationship too."

"Relationship?" Itachi asked. "You know I don't do relationships, this is a friends with benefits kind of thing and it's none of Sasuke's business." Naruto felt a stab of pain go through his heart. All this time he had thought he was worming his way into the stoic Itachi Uchiha's heart and in reality all he was doing was warming the older man's bed.

"Naruto?" Itachi asked the now silent man in the bed beside him. "I thought I was clear from the start of this that we wouldn't exactly be dating, that I would marry whomever my father deems it necessary for me to marry."

"And I thought by now that you would realize that you would never be happy living that lifestyle just because Fugaku Uchiha wants you too." Naruto said softly. "You can keep lying to your parents and brother, but deep down you know that you won't be happy, you are gay there is no faking your way out of that because your father will reject you."

"Naruto." Itachi groaned, raising his hand and rubbing at the bridge of his nose. "You really don't understand my position. My father needs me to marry a woman and continue the family line. He doesn't need to know that I'm gay and neither does Sasuke. This is a secret that is best kept hidden."

"For who?" Naruto cried out. "I'm tired of being treated like a dirty little secret, only to fucked when you feel like sticking your dick up my ass."

"Do you have to be so damn vulgar." Itachi asked. "You've known as long as I have that I can't give you my heart."

"Because your father owns you. It's too bad I didn't consider that before I fell in love with you." Naruto said. "I'm tired of being treated like this, I deserve more."

"Tired of being treated like what?" Itachi asked, anger in his voice. "You are spoiled, I give you all that I can, all that Father's money can buy."

"I'm not spoiled, I never wanted any of that. I just want your heart that's all I ask, but you refuse to give it to me." Naruto cried. "You refuse to even admit to yourself that you care for me just as much as I care for you."

"I have my reasons." Itachi replied "and I seem to recall that you promised you wouldn't fall in love with me. I was just needing…"

"A fuck buddy…someone to warm your bed!" Naruto yelled. He sat up abruptly and threw his legs over the bed. He should have listened to Iruka when he had warned Naruto against 'dating' Itachi. Iruka had seemed to know that Itachi wasn't looking for anything serious and Iruka also knew how easy it was for Naruto to fall for someone who treated him well. Naruto couldn't deny that Itachi had treated Naruto well, treating him to fancy dinners and then usually a couple rounds of lovemaking that left Naruto needing more. He wanted someone to share his heart and his life with, he'd thought he'd found that with Itachi, but Itachi was being too much of a coward to even admit to his father that he cared about another male. Naruto was really beginning to wonder if Itachi even had a heart buried inside his chest, surely the man realized how much he was hurting Naruto with his own actions. Itachi was destroying Naruto's heart and soul without even realizing it. Naruto wondered if it would be too late to get out of this situation, to save what was left of his heart. How could he have been so stupid that he would end up in this position. He wished he had stayed away from Konoha, and in Suna. Gaara never would have treated him like this, in fact the man had offered Naruto his heart on more than one occasion, why hadn't Naruto been able to fall in love with him?

"If this arrangement isn't good enough for you." Itachi said firmly, glaring at Naruto's back. "You know where the door is. I'm not going to stop you, I'm not going to let your feelings ruin what my father has worked so hard for."

"I'm starting to wonder if you are even capable of loving anyone that's not a member of your fucking family." Naruto growled, as he bent down and started picking up his clothes only for the door to open and Sasuke enter the bedroom.

"What the hell?" Sasuke demanded. "What are you two doing in here."

"What's it look like Sasuke. I got fucked up the ass and then royally fucked again." Naruto said, turning and glaring at Itachi. "and this dip shit doesn't care about anyone but himself."

"Watch the name calling." Sasuke said his eyes narrowing on his best friend. He'd had no idea that Naruto was even gay, much more that he was in some weird relationship with his brother. He did not approve, he knew his father had plans for Itachi and him to marry wealthy women eventually, Naruto did not figure into that picture at all.

"Father isn't going to be happy." Sasuke told Itachi, who was still lying in bed.

"That's why he's not going to say anything and neither is Naruto." Itachi replied. "Besides he's the one that started the whole arrangement, he told me he was curious about fucking males." Naruto whipped his head around to glare at Itachi. That was not how their so called relationship at begun and Itachi knew it. "And if he does say anything, I'll tell everyone that he was stalking me and that the only way to get him to stop was to sleep with him."

"You unimaginable bastard." Naruto whispered, his heart shattering inside of his chest. Was Itachi that much of a coward that he would place the blame for this whole mess on his shoulders? That wasn't fair to Naruto.

"Are you sick in the head?" Sasuke asked Naruto, not noticing the tears in Naruto's eyes. "Did you really coerce my brother into this sick relationship?"

"Believe what you want." Naruto said as he started pulling his clothes on, he'd come over to screw and had ended up getting screwed over. Not only that he had the feeling that after this Sasuke wouldn't want anything to do with him, because he was supposedly crazy.

"If you ever contact either of us again, I'll make sure you're tossed in prison and I will have the rumor spread that you molested children." Sasuke glared.

"You won't have any trouble from me. I think I've learned my lesson about how to not give my heart to soulless bastards." Naruto said as he headed for the door.

Naruto sighed that had only been a few short hours ago, and it was now well past midnight and Naruto had yet to go home. He knew he was supposed to meet with Iruka, that his father like figure would be worried about him, but Naruto couldn't find it in him to care. His heart was broken, and he wasn't sure that it would ever get fixed again. He still couldn't believe that Itachi only wanted to keep him as a dirty little secret and that he had been willing to spread lies about Naruto to hide the truth from his father. That had hurt Naruto more than anything else Itachi had done, including leading Naruto to believe that Itachi had actually cared about him. What was so wrong with Naruto that he couldn't be loved the way he wanted to be?

Lost in thought Naruto didn't see the hooded figures heading his way, it was only when he felt a sharp pain in his back that he heard their demands for his wallet.

"It's in my pocket." Naruto said. "Take it all I don't care." Naruto didn't have much money anyways because he always seemed to be struggling to make ends meet, but at this point he was so miserable he really didn't care what they done. Naruto felt one of them slip his hand into his pocket and pull the wallet out. Afterwards he barely felt the sting of their fists slamming into his face and their feet slamming into his ribs. Naruto felt a sudden burst of pain as he heard a bone crack. He gasped for air, and hoped that they would finish him quickly.

"Let's finish him off and get out of here before anyone comes." one of the guys said as Naruto turned over onto his side and tried to roll into a ball, his chest was on fire and he knew he had a few broken ribs. Suddenly Naruto felt a had kick land to the back of his neck and a loud pop was heard, Naruto barely heard the sound as he found himself losing consciousness. He hoped that when Itachi heard that the man would actually be sorry for things he'd said and done that had led up to this.
