CHAPTER 3
~III~
Narutos POV
School went smoothly and now I'm heading home, I had already called Gaara yesterday and told him I was coming over for the weekend, good thing I was able to tease Temari a bit. Who know how long Temari and the lazy Nar- I mean Shikamaru have dated; fortunately I found out when they were on a date, I was out buying ramen when I saw them sitting together, Shikamaru, for once didn't looked sleepy, thank you ramen!
Ring, ring, rin-
"Hello" Temari had answered the phone.
"Hey Temari! How you been?" I asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Naruto! I'm great, and you?" she asked.
"I'm fine, and believe me I know just how great you are" I said amusedly.
"What are you talking about?" she asked nervously.
"Oh nothing, I was just remembering a certain pineapple head boy, nothing big" I replied "Is Gaara home?" I asked cheerfully
"Yeah hold on" she said in a hurry, and I hear her call Gaara over to the phone.
"Naruto what's wrong?" he asked worried, even though he didn't showed it, but after spending years of being with an emotionless bastard, you can figure out someone just as emotionless.
"Gaara, don't worry, I'm fine, by the way I'm spending the weekend over at your house" I said out of the blue, I could picture Gaara blinking once, twice then looking over at Kankuro and Temari and then the replied.
"Fine by me and I'm sure Kankuro wouldn't mind the company" he said in a passive tone.
"Cool! I'll be there by six" I told him.
"Do you want me to tell Bee so he'll be here when you get here?" he asked
"Yes please" I assure him "So I'll se you guys tomorrow" I said happily.
"Alright bye" he said about to hang up, but I had stopped him just in time.
"Gaara wait! When you go out hide your demon powers to zero, no matter where you go, just do it" I told him in my voice that he wouldn't and couldn't argue with "Well good night" I said and hung up.
I had already packed for my little trip to Gaara's house.I left my house and took the bus to the train station, it only takes three hours for me to get there, it was a reasonable time, the longest I've had to travel is for Han, he lives up in the mountains and it's a six hour trip, four by train and two by bus.
I felt my phone vibrate and I pulled it out from my back pocket, it was a text massage from Sasuke.
'Dobe make sure to come to my house Sunday afternoon'
I sighed, and replied 'I know, you don't have to get all parental on me, I have enough with Iruka' I pressed send and not a minute latter he replied.
'I'm not acting parental, I'm just looking out for my little brother, and don't ever make me say something like that again, Dobe' I laughed.
'Thanks Teme, anyway you didn't say it, you wrote it' I grinned as I send it.
'What ever just don't make me do it again' he wrote, I smile softly.
'Alright, I'm going now. I'll see you by Sunday, bye' I wrote and press the send button.
'Have a safe trip' he said and I smiled.
¨*ItaNaru*¨
Normal POV
Itachi walked in as Sasuke texted something, he was curios as to why his Otouto was slightly blushing, "What are you doing Sasuke?" he asked, amused that he made his brother jump "What?" Itachi asked blankly as his brother glared at him. "Here" he said handing his black cell phone to Itachi.
Itachi lifted a brow as Sasuke walked out of the room, and then he looked at the phone, a text massage from his little blond. 'Alright, I'm going now. I'll see you by Sunday, bye' he read and he decided to reply 'Have a safe trip' and send it. He was definitely going to see his blond on Sunday.
Itachi headed for his brother's room, he didn't bother to knock as he opened the door "Here" the said throwing the phone up in the air. "And thanks" he said turning around to leave.
Sasuke saw his brother come in with out knocking again, he put down the book he was reading "Here" his brother said as he threw his phone and he quickly caught it, he glared at his Aniki "And thanks" Itachi said in a soft voice. He blinked once "Aniki wait!" Sasuke said standing up from his bed.
Itachi turn around to see his brother approaching with an identical smirk he had worn yesterday, lifting a brow as Sasuke stopped in front of him "You know it's not bad to like Naruto, you just can't not like him, he changes people and he deserves someone like you" Sasuke said all amusement gone.
"Sasuke I don't know what you're talking about" he said in a noncommittal tone, had his brother been able to see through to him? "Itachi you know you like him, I felt and saw what type of atmosphere you two created yesterday, why do you think I took so long to enter the living room again?" he asked him.
Itachi thought for a moment; he could only remember what he was feeling so he looked at his brother and arched an elegant brow. Sasuke sighed and looked at his brother "I couldn't go back in because there was an intimate feeling about it, if went back in I would have felt awkward" he stated shrugging his shoulders, looking bored.
Itachi blinked "What?" he said as Sasuke smirked and "Figure it out yourself Aniki, I already helped you realized your growing feelings, now it's your turn to make Naruto realize his feelings for you, by the way he is attracted to you" he said and shut the door.
Itachi had stopped functioning for the moment; he just stared blankly at the wooden door. He knows he had feeling for the blond and now his Otouto said Naruto was attracted to him plus he might have feeling for him too? Could Naruto really? But could he develop a relationship while in Akatsuki? What if he got Naruto involved? He couldn't allow it.
Itachi finally snapped out of his trance and headed down stairs to the garage, he open the door of his car and headed out, he drove around the district not really looking for something or someone, he wanted to cleared his head from the confusion now held. He spotted a café and decided to go in.
He parked his car on the other side of the shop, he killed the engine and got out and locked it. He cross the street and went in side and looked at the menu, but he didn't really know what to order so he got himself a latte, and sat down on one of the empty tables, he couldn't get the blond out or his head, it was just too difficult.
Not being able to think of a solution he decide to call his cousin, even though he acted like an idiot he was still older then him, and might know what to do. With this thought in mind he pressed the green button and the phone started to ring.
Ring, ring, ring, ri- "Hello" Tobi answer from the other end.
Sighing Itachi and spoke as calmly as he possibly could "Tobi, it's me Itachi I-" his cousin cut him off with his loud voice,
"Itachi! What can I help you with?" Itachi growl lowly rubbing one of his temples,
"I… can I come over to talk to you?" he said bored, Tobi agreed and hung up. He said to be there in 15 minutes. Itachi looked at the time and then at his surroundings he had enough time to finish his latte and head to Tobi's house.
He finished his drink trying to figure out what he would say once he got to Tobi's, 'I think I'm falling for someone… no too forward, maybe Do you think it's a good idea to look for someone?… maybe' he sighed and crossed the street and headed to his black car. He turn on the engine, and it prr'ed to life. He headed to his cousins house.
-X-x-X-
Itachi pull over to a light brown house (Yeah right, it was more like another mansion, so Uchiha like) he shut the engine by pulling the key out, he open the door and locked the car. He headed for the reddish door and pushed the door bell and waited for his cousin to open the door. (1)
Tobi open the door, thankfully he didn't have his stupid orange mask on, and his skin color was darker that Itachi's but it wasn't tan; you could say it was a normal skin color. He was slightly shorter than Itachi. His dark brown almost black hair was spiked up in all directions and his black eyes held happiness that once he really looked at Itachi they became dead serious "Itachi what's wrong?" he asked in an unusual impassive tone as he closed the door.
Itachi sighed and headed for the living room, he stopped as he saw Kisame there but shrugged it off, 'Maybe he can help too' the thought. "Kisame" he said in a monotone voice nodding once in his direction. "Itachi" Kisame replied a bit worried, Itachi just looked… lost.
Tobi walked in as Itachi went to sit on his leather couch across from Kisame, his young cousin looked so lost and confuse. He got worried because he didn't even glare at him as he had opened the door. "Itachi what's wrong?" he repeated his question for the second time in less then five minutes. Kisame watched Itachi closely; he was having difficulties with whatever he wanted to say "If you don't want me to hear, I can go you know" he told Itachi softly. The young Uchiha looked at him and shook his head "No, I also want to hear you opinion" he said apathetic. Kisame nodded and waited for him to speak.
Itachi open his mouth but close it again trying to explain what he wanted in the simplest form. Looking at his cousin that had seated by Kisame, so that he could see him better. Sighing Itachi asked surprising even himself "If you had found someone special right now, would you get involve with them or push them away?" his voice sounded so hopeless.
¨*ItaNaru*¨
Naruto got off the train and headed for the south exit, he walked for 15 minutes and then he reached his destination, it was a muddy-red house with a brown door, he went up the porch and knocked on the door twice and after a minute the door open with a very happy Kankuro on the other side, holding the door with one hand.
"Naruto it's so good to see you!" he said embracing the boy in a bear hug "Yeah it's good to see you too" he said as he was put down. Naruto walked in and Kankuro closed the door quickly "Come Naruto, everyone's waiting" he said and Naruto fallowed him.
They reached the living room where Temari, Gaara, Killer bee, Yugito, and Utakata were waiting for him and Kankuro. Naruto lifted a thin blond eyebrow, just like the two Uchihas "How come you guys are here?" he question looking at Yugito and Utakata, both pointed at Bee, and Bee smiled "Ya know, I kind of found them, so I decided to bring them over" he said nervously, Naruto sighed and massaged his temples, "It's ok Bee. It's actually easier to deliver the message, you know, all you have to do is inform the rest." He said softly.
The tail demons nodded and listen to whatever their Prince might tell them. "Akatsuki is trying to find us" he said flatly, all eyes were on him "So it's for sure now?" Killer Bee asked, Naruto only nodded "How are you sure?" Utakata asked confused "I met an Akatsuki member yesterday" Naruto answered earning gasps from almost everyone. "How did you recognize him?" Gaara asked emotionless, Naruto looked at him and everyone around "Because of the Demon Poison and the ring" he said making everyone confuse "A ring? What do you mean by a ring?" this time Temari was the one to ask Yugito and Kankuro nodding in agreement.
"Let me just say that we have a traitor among our fellow Demons" at this everyone gasped "What?" they yell except for Gaara and Killer bee. "The way they are try to find us. They are using The Demon's Jewel." He said "SAY WHAT!" they asked again by the exception of Gaara and Bee. "You mean the gem you used to find us all?" Gaara asked calmly, the Prince nodded "Yes" Naruto said coldly. "Only me and the keeper of the stones have access to them" he said getting angry "Do you know who the keeper is?" Utakata asked noncommittally, he needed to be careful with Naruto like this.
"The keeper I knew is dead, I don't know who the new keeper, but I need to find out if he is alive or dead, if he is alive he might be helping Akatsuki, but if he is dead, then he died protecting the gems." Naruto said clanging his hands, knuckles turning white, the air around him got warmer and his eyes turn red.
Everyone became tensed as Naruto's power increased "Naruto clam down" Gaara said coldly. Naruto's red orbs looked at Gaara's celadon ones. Naruto closed his eyes and his posture relaxed, he once again had perfect control over his powers, and when he opened his eyes they were their normal crystal blue. "Sorry" he said a bit dejected. Gaara walked to him and place a hand on his shoulders. "Don't worry, I would react the same way" he said softly, Naruto looked at him in disbelief. Gaara smiled softly. "Well, we'll work on that so can you tell us how you are still save and sound?" Yugito asked Naruto.
Naruto sighed and told them "I hid every ounce of my demon power. Remember I told you to do so yesterday when you went out?" he looked at Gaara and he nodded. "That's it?" Utakata asked, Naruto nodded "But it's not as easy as it sounds" Naruto commented "Why?" Yugito asked "Try and do it, try to hide all of your power leaving nothing behind so that you only have the normal energy of a human" he order.
Yugito and Utakata tried and failed "Damn" Utakata said and Yugito nodded. "See, I'm sure Gaara and Bee are able to do it, they have better control as well as Yagura and Rōshi" he said.
"Anyway, I'll keep watch over my hunter, if he starts to suspect anything I'll get every bit of information I can before I eliminate him" Naruto said coldly, but for some reason the thought of Itachi leaving, betraying him or dying, hurt Naruto to no end. He had tried as hard as he could to erase the smiling Itachi from his thought, but he just couldn't, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't.
"Naruto, why didn't you kill him?" Yugito asked, at the question Narutos heart tighten "Because I want to see, I want to understand why they are after us. I want to find a way to turn them around and see how wrong they are by doing this things to us all, they may have thought they killed all the half-demons, but you know as well as I do that they have only kill innocent low level demons, half-demons are more powerful, right Temari, Kankuro?"(1) Naruto said with a foxy grin.
"Sadly there are thousand of them that don't even know they have demon blood in their veins, and so they don't acknowledge it, meaning they can't protect themselves, they become frighten by their unusual abilities or some might even take advantage of them. If the parents died when they were young, things tempt to complicate. Most of they may take the wrong path, some will try to search what ever they can, but once they do find out, it's either they embrace it or they push it away."(2) He said regretfully.
"Uncle doesn't know it but he accepts his abilities though he doesn't know how he gains them, but he really doesn't care. Gaara said not to tell him, because he might not accept it once he knows." Temari said sadly "It really is devastating since I learn everything I know thanks to him, you know" Kankuro said "You guys knew since you had dad, but his parents died when he was 5 so no one told him, no one taught him yet he became great" Gaara said proudly.
"Really now? What's his name?" Killer Bee asked interested.
Naruto had heard of him but he had never asked for the name. He thought it was a privet matter, until they wanted to say anything more he would wait. "Sasori, Sabaku Sasori" Kankuro said cheerfully. "Do you have a photo?" again Killer Bee asked. Temari nodded and left the room to find it.
She came back with a family photo, in it stood their father carrying a four year old Gaara, Kankuro (Who was 5) and Temari (Who was 6) in front of his father. A male with light brown hair was kneeling next to Temari hugging her by the shoulder, on the left side or the photo, and a red-headed teen stood by Kankuro at the right side of the picture, he was slightly smiling.
"This is my Uncle Yashamaru our mother's brother, the red hair teen is Uncle Sasori, our dad's younger brother. Our mother, Karura, was the Ichibi no Shukaku, before Gaara, she would've survived but she was too weak. With three pregnancies one after the other was hard for her." Temari explain. "Uncle Yashamaru was a full demon as well as Mom, but Dad was only half, he had found out after he married our mother but he too decided it was best not to tell Uncle Sasori about their heritage" Kankuro continue "He might know something but he might not want to admit it" Gaara finished.
"As long as he is in the right path, it doesn't matter if he knows or not" Naruto told them.
¨*ItaNaru*¨
Tobi and Kisame looked at Itachi shocked "W-w-what?" Tobi was the first to recover, "What do you mean Itachi?" Kisame asked in a weak voice. Itachi sighed "Alright hypothetically speaking, what would you do if right now both of you met a person and you were falling in love with them, and they with you, would you risk yourself into a relationship or would you push them away?" he asked concern.
Tobi and Kisame looked at each other knowing perfectly that he was serious."Itachi it depends, I mean if I met someone and fall in love with her, I would probably start something with her, I mean I don't know if I'll survive whatever is coming our way, but I'll try to gain as much as possible" he told him softly.
"I would probably push her away, I don't have the confidence to protect her if needed, especially with pain as leader, he would make me choose the organization over her" he told him truthfully "But if it were technical I would choose to be with her instead of being apart from her" Kisame finished. "But that's just hypothetically speaking" both said at the same time.
Tobi nodded his agreement on Kisame's last opinion, and he decided to tease his young cousin "So who's the lucky girl?" he asked trying to contain his laughter's, Itachi gain a very, very, very small blush while he glared at his cousin, kisame didn't notice it but Tobi sure did.
"Tobi what demon do you have to capture?" Itachi asked trying to avoid the question, if only they knew it wasn't a girl but a boy; things would be hell for him. "Oh the Sanbi no Kyodaigame why?" he asked but was ignored "And you Kisame?" Itachi asked the older man, "The Yonbi no Saru and you?" Kisame really waned to know as did Tobi "Kyuubi no Yōko" he replied impassively.
Both gasped "And here I thought Pain would be the one to take that one on" Kisame murmured. Tobi turn pale "Tobi, you ok?" Itachi asked, a bit of concern showing 'Where have I hear that name before?' he asked himself, but the memory was far away, and he couldn't reach it. "Yeah" he said breathless.
Itachi and Kisame shared a long gaze until they made an agreement "Tobi thanks a lot, but I have to go home Sasuke's waiting you know? If you want you could come over the weekend" Itachi told his cousin, who nodded. Itachi lifted a dark brow "I would like that" Tobi said standing up and exiting the room, he headed to his room to get his things, since he wouldn't be coming home until Monday.
Tobi reenter the room a few minutes latter, "Shall we go?" he asked Itachi and Kisame. Both hunters nodded and headed to the door, Tobi behind both. They went out and Tobi locked his house they headed to Itachi's car and climbed on. "Want me to drop you off at the station or are you coming over for a while?" Itachi asked Kisame.
"Thanks but I have to go home, maybe some other time" He told them "Hn" Itachi said. The station was near and they dropped him off, saying their goodbyes, and both Ucihas headed home.
¨*ItaNaru*¨
Naruto had, had a grate time over at Gaaras, except for that one time by the alley(3); now he was heading home, the train got to his station and he got off of it, he headed to the north exit and waited for the bus to come. He saw it by the corner and got in, it only took 10 minutes to get home.
Naruto walked the hall that lead to his apartment, it was on the first floor and had two bedrooms, he was one of the lucky people to have a small basement. He open the door of his home and tossed his bag on his bed he got a clean change of clothes and went into the bathroom, he took a quick shower and got dressed, he also ate some bread and headed out towards Sasuke's home.
Itachi had just finished his shower after his morning exercise with Tobi, and headed to the kitchen to make lunch. It was almost noon and Sasuke was sitting on the couch reading a book. He stopped before he exited the living room "Sasuke if Naruto is coming will he eat lunch with us?" he asked and Sasuke only nodded. Itachi hn'ed and left to prepare lunch for all four of them.
