AN: hello guys! Next chapter is finally up! Yay! Please enjoy!

Warning: nothing big…. Language at the very best.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Naruto Characters! They are owned by the genius but cruel Masashi Kishimoto! I am not sure if I want to watch or read Naruto till the end….. I don't mind if my ships aren't canon, except for this one! This one has to be canon!


Chapter 1.

Back in Town.


Fingers brush against a wooden table, and plum lips smile fondly. Blue eyes observed everything they could. As far as he saw, nothing had changed in the house. It was the same as when he had left.

"Is this what you really want, Naruto?" Said blond turned around, facing his crimson haired companion, and gives him a cheeky smile.

"Believe me, Kyuubi, I know what I am doing. After all you know…" Naruto trailled off as he walked around his old home, now his current home. Kyuubi grunted at Naruto's answer.

"I hate the dreams you and mom have. They are creepy!" Naruto chuckled. The reason he moved back was because he had a dream about him and Sasuke. Somehow he had a feeling he needed to find the bastard again, no matter what. So he had researched, moved back to Konoha. It wasn't without result. Apparently his cousin, Karin, worked for said Uchiha (without him knowing). He was even more lucky when she told him they were searching for someone to be the bastard's assistant, and could handle his PR.

Naruto grinned. He had studied communication, and handling PR is one of things he is capable of now. He had decided to surprise the Uchiha by applying for the job. Naruto licked the lips, he couldn't wait to hear his reaction. Kyuubi frowned.

"How do you even know it's the real him? I mean they just can have the same name you know?" Naruto laughed as he glanced at Kyuubi over his shoulder, a cocky smirk on his face.

"It can't be anyone else, but him." Kyuubi shivered, Naruto had changed, and not a bit either.

The shy and timid boy was gone.

'Uchiha, I may have hated your guts, but I wish you the best of luck now.'


Blond hair.

Sunglasses that hid ocean deep blue eyes.

And three whiskers that marked each cheek.

'It can't be…'

"Dobe?" The familiar nickname rolled of his tongue with such ease, it was unimaginable. It was even more incredible that he hadn't stuttered! Naruto laughed softly. Sasuke still stared blankly at the boy, no, the man before him. His love had really grown up.

"We will never get rid of those names, huh, Teme?" Naruto said, a mischievous smile crossing his lips as he leaned forward.

"I don't mind though, I missed this actually, but…" Naruto put his resume on the desk as leaned back in his chair.

"Let's get to business. This is a job interview after all, Mr. Uchiha. You can ask all the question you deem necessary." Sasuke snapped out of his shock, and shook his head to clear his thoughts. He 'hn'ed with a smirk and made himself comfortable as wel as he read through the resume the Dobe had just given him. He did qualify for the job, and everything seemed impressive. That didn't mean though he would hire the Dobe immediately. After all…

The Dobe got some explaining to do.

"Tell me what happened after you disappeared." Sasuke demanded as he leaned back, his eyes observing his…'Lover? Former Lover? Friend? What the hell?' Sasuke shook his head, clearing the unwanted thoughts. Naruto smiled.

"The last day we had seen each other, I had this test of World Economics, you remember?" Sasuke nodded. "While making the test, my eyesight became blurry, and black spots started to appear. I had called my mother, I went to several hospitals the days after that. The local hospital sucked. Then we went to a specialized hospital, my retina didn't have any major damage, but… when I went to Visua, the organisation for the visual impaired, it appeared that my sight did go worse, from 15% to 5% and that I had a tunnel vision."

"Apparently the human brain supports a great deal of our body, and at that time I had a lot of stress, so much that my brain couldn't handle it, and shut the support for my eyes down. So in theory, this is what I saw all along." Naruto sighed. "I was taken out of school and we started to live with some family members, since it went downhill after that. I started school at Visua's special school for the visual impaired, and took the high advance classes, since that's where I was supposed to be with my intelligence, which I couldn't do before because of complications."

"As for the reasons I couldn't contact you, was as I said, there were a lot of complications. I had gotten not long after that tendonitis and bursitis in my shoulder. And if that wasn't enough I needed to go through some heavy revalidation procedure for both."

Sasuke nodded as he took this all in. The blond had suffered through a lot of things. His hand raked through his bangs.

"Why did you come back? And why would you want to work for me?" Sasuke asked as he peeked through his bangs at Naruto, who chuckled.

"Teme, I came back for you. I want to get back what we lost, what was taken from us." Naruto stood up, and leaned over the desk, his mouth coming very close to Sasuke's ear, nearly touching the sensitive skin.

"And I know you want it too, Bastard." He leaned back, and Sasuke allowed a shiver to go down his spine at the notion. Sasuke stared into blue pools, which were filled with determination.

"The choice is now up to you, let me work for you, and not only will I be able to handle all the work you will give me, we can also repair this relationship as much as we can. And don't give me the media crap, that's my job to handle then. I can handle them darn well, if my resume is any indication." With that, Naruto turned on his heels, and left the room, with Sasuke looking after him. Naruto smirked.

'The bait is laid out, now I just need to wait till he bites.' Naruto clapped himself on the shoulder. Somehow handling the Uchiha had become easier for him than in the past, even though this was the first they had seen each other in ten years.

"Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto turned at the calling, and could only make out a tall person, with long black hair, and pale skin. Naruto frowned.

"Itachi-san?" Naruto asked. Itachi walked up to Naruto, his eyes softening as he observed Naruto.

"Yes, it's me. So it was true that your eyesight has gone worse." Naruto nodded., and Itachi's eyes started to harden again.

"'What is your plan with my brother." Itachi demanded. Naruto smirked as he turned, and walked forward again, but not before looking over his shoulder at Itachi.

"That's between your brother and I, if you want to know that badly ask him yourself." Itachi narrowed his eyes.

"Hn." And with that, he turned away, but stopped when he was addressed by the Uzumaki.

´You are welcome at my house, anytime, Itachi-san. I know how… close you and my brother were." With a smirk on his face, Naruto skipped away. Itachi stiffened at first but then smirked himself.

"Perhaps, I will take you on that offer, Uzumaki."
