Naruto and Naruto Shippuden are the creative property of Masashi Kishimoto (岸本 斉史) so are the majority of characters used in this story with the exception of my OC's. If you want to use my OC's I'd actually really enjoy that but please ask first, anyways enjoy
"Before Sasuke got the diagnosis we use to watch Rent at least once a month. When I'll cover you came on I started singing for Angel and he'd sing for Collins. This is for you Sasu" I whispered into the microphone as I ran my fingers over the keys of my keyboard
"Live in my house, I'll be your shelter. Just pay me back with one thousand kisses. Be my lover and I'll cover you, yeah. Open your door, I'll be your tenant don't got much baggage, to lay at your feet. But sweet kisses, I've got to spare I'll be there and I'll cover you" I sang out which seemed to lighten the mood even though the song was in fact very saddening
"I think they meant it when they said you can't buy love. Now I know you can rent it a new lease you are my love. On life, all my life. I've longed to discover something as true as this is" I sang out waiting for Sakura to come in. When we finished we both bowed and I pulled my keyboard off to the side so the ceremony could continue. Itachi spoke about all of Sasuke's accomplishment often going off about his rebellious streak in high school
"The thing I know that everyone will remember about my brother though was his undying devotion to his family. As such I need to read something from him, his will. He had me draw it up in secret just a few short weeks ago and asked me to read it when he passed. To Naruto Uzumaki-Uchiha he left his shares of the Uchiha Corps, his piece of the Uchiha fortune and manor and… and…" Itachi whispered going wide eyed unable to finish because whatever was written was too great a shock to him
"And control of Taka and… Hebi" Itachi stated whispering the last part. Hebi is a company that at one point attempted to take down the Uchiha Corps and the Uzumaki Corps before the CEO Orochimaru died, since then the company continued to rival my parent's company and Sasuke's
"What the hell! Hebi, how'd he get control of Hebi!" someone called out angrily
"It's explained… he put this part of the will in after I signed off. Sasuke met Orochimaru through… Suigetsu Hozuki… and Orochimaru saw potential in him. Orochimaru knew he was going to die due to a very powerful genetic disease that was slowly killing himself for many years, he signed the company over to Sasuke and hired an actor to pretend to be the CEO so Sasuke could control from behind the scenes and now Sasuke's given the company to Naruto to do with as he pleases" Itachi continued
"We'll continued this later Itachi" Mrs. Uchiha snapped pushing her son away so the sermon could be continued. By now my mind was pretty much gone, one of my episodes. I was back in our house on the Uchiha estate, beautiful music was playing and I looked down seeing my hand on the grand piano playing
'Beethoven's Moonlight piano sonata number fourteen' I mused listening to the beautiful melody, I didn't have control so I was just along for the ride. Menma was sitting on a chair next to the piano drinking apple juice and a pair of slim, pale arms wrapped around my shoulders
"Morning Naru, you keep getting better and better" Sasuke noted sitting next to me
"Of course, you're my teacher after all. All I need is the right teacher and I can learn anything" I laughed
'Today, no not today oh gods!' I cried trying to take control. I knew no one would come to my rescue either, my episodes only happen in my brain. They're hidden to the outside world
"Mama the phone" Menma called spilling some of his drink
"I'll take care of him, you get the phone" Sasuke sighed walking over to our son while I rushed to the kitchen and picked up the phone
"Hello?" I asked leaning on the counter lazily
"Oh Naruto… is Sasuke there?" a familiar voice asked in a worried tone
"Yeah Baa-chan, why? What's wrong?" I asked sitting on one of the wooden stools next to the counter
"Could you get him on the phone, I have his test results back" she said solemnly making me shake as Sasuke's arms appeared around my waist
"Who is it?" he asked putting his head on my shoulder
"Baa-chan, she has your test results" I whispered putting the phone and speaker and setting it down
"Hi Tsunade-san what's the news?" Sasuke asked sitting next to me
"I'm on speaker phone… well Sasuke your blood tests came back. You're… you're positive. You have HIV" she said trying not to cry
"What?" he whispered going wide-eyed while I tried to process it
"It seems that it's been developing for several years. I want you to come in with Menma so I can test you now. We don't have time to waste I'll see you soon" Tsunade stated before hanging up. The next thing I knew we were in her office, my test results and Menma's were back already and she seemed slightly relieved by what she saw
"It would seem whatever allows you to give birth protected you from being infected. It also protected Menma. but we need to figure out how long you've been infected" she said looking at us obviously very stressed
"The last time I was with someone other than Naruto was before" he said pausing to look at Menma who was playing on the floor "Was before what Naruto and I thought was a one night stand. The night he got pregnant with Menma"
"Do you have a name? I'd assume it happened in Japan correct?" she asked turning to her computer
"Yeah. I didn't sleep around though I had two boyfriends that I slept with and that's it. Naruto and then… Suigetsu Hozuki" he whispered making Tsunade go wide-eyed
"He was a patient of mine about a year ago he came to get treatment for HIV with me when he was arrested. He knowingly infected ten different people that we know of. He passed before he could be charged" she explained running her hand through her hair
"How long do I have?" he whispered longing at her desperately
"I'm not sure. I'll start you on a drug cocktail to slow the process" she responded. Again another shift, one year later and he was on his death
"Love you, Naru… Menma" and then the flat line. After that it was over and I was in the funeral home again
"Naru, you had another episode huh? Come on, let's get something to drink" my mom whispered leading me out of the room and handing me a flask
"Thanks mom" I whispered taking a big gulp of the whiskey
"Careful it's the only alcohol I could bring with me" she laughed before drinking from the flask as well. That's how we dealt with my episodes, at least when I turned twenty-one, before that it was a blunt she had lying around to relax and when I was little it was hot chocolate or tea
"So they still happen huh? I though Sasuke helped you get rid of them" she asked handing me the flask so I could take another sip
"He tried but it's out of anyone's control. All he could do was hold me and try to help me break out, I hate that I'm like this" I said whispering the last part
"I wish I'd been more careful then he might still be alive" she whispered pulling another flask out of her boot and drinking, it wasn't alcohol just water
"The crash wasn't your fault and you know that. Menma died because of a drunk driver, I just wish he was here so that Menma could meet his uncle and name sake" I mumbled taking another sip
"I know, I still do though… now come on I could go for some ramen and the paparazzi should be gone" she said standing and smiling
"What about Menma and the ceremony?" I asked trying to jump through the roof at the thought of ramen
"Minato will take him back to the Uchiha Mansion, Mikoto invited us to stay there until we get a house" she said standing and stretching
"It's amazing how much can change in one minute huh?" I asked looking at the door that lead into the room holding Sasuke's coffin
"A lot can change in ' Five Hundred Twenty-five Thousand Six Hundred Minutes'" she hummed trying to lighten the mood
"True, everything can change in one season of love" I responded making her smile at the mood change
"It'll be okay honey" she whispered hugging me
"I know. Come on there's a small ramen stand about five minutes down the road, Ichiraku's" I said following her outside and to her limo
SASUKE! Sorry it was perfectly appropriate
Sasuke: So you prefer Naruto with Kiba over Naruto with me?
No, no, no (I like it the same) but that's not the point. Menma say the line
Menma: Review and I get cookies! *Big eyes* I'll share
You heard him hope you enjoyed!
