I went to the bathroom after Itachi's inspiring words. I walked back out to see Sasuke. He was waiting for me. He looked extremely sad. I wondered if it was regret that he pushed me way. He walked over to me and put his hands over mine.

"We should sit down." Sasuke led me to the large dinning room.

After we sat, he began, "Sekushi, I hate to shatter your image of Itachi, but there are things you should know about him." Sasuke got sadder with each passing moment.

"It could not be so bad."

Sasuke looked at me grimly.

I said, bracing myself for the worst, "Tell me everything."

Sasuke said, "Itachi is, in short, a man-whore. He really would sleep with anything that has a hole. He's slept with most, if not all, of his school. He has a bet going with his friends that he could get a minor to fall for him and sleep with him. He also upped the bet for a virgin. Itachi's a total prick, you know how he was being a nice older brother? Well it was just an act. Naruto could tell you that, if he wasn't so dense."

"Sasuke, is this the truth, or are you just trying to get me for yourself? Cuz if its the later, you already have me." I blushed and looked down.

Sasuke put his fist under my chin and lifted my head up, "You should never be sad. I really do wish it was just jealousy, for your sake. But I have proof of all this. I've been recording Itachi's calls for the last few weeks now." He pulled a tape recorder out of his pocket. He pushed the play button.

I pushed the stop button, "I believe you. Even though we have just barely met, I trust you."

Sasuke leaned across the table, giving me the chance to stop him. He kissed me. I returned the kiss deeply, without force or tongue. Sasuke put his hand on my head and kissed me again. I stood up when we parted for air.

"We should go to sleep."

Sasuke nodded, clearly disappointed, yet relieved. He went to his room. I followed him.

Sasuke was, once again, already in bed. I smiled and crawled into bed grinning. My grin was drowned with no hope of survival compared to Sasuke's smirk. I lay down next to him, facing away. Sasuke had his arm and legs around me. But it was not in a gropy, molesting way. It was just cuddling. I fell asleep after a few words from Sasuke.

"If you feel poking, forgive me. And at school tomorrow, I think its best to hide our relationship. I know those people, trust me, its for the best. Oyasuminasai."

I woke up the next morning, my body almost completely covered by Sasuke. I smiled to myself, glad it was not at all a dream. Sasuke stirred when I tried to get out of bed. He tightened his grip around my waist and hugged me. I patted his hand. He released me and we got out of bed. I reached for my clothes, but he stopped me. He went to his dresser and pulled out a pair of overalls for me. He changed into a black tee with brown cargos. We overslept, so there wasn't enough time for a shower if we wanted breakfast.

We entered the kitchen. Itachi already had made us breakfast. He smiled when he saw us, arm-in-arm. Sasuke and I sat down to our breakfast of bacon omletts. We ate, talking over our classes. It turns out that we were both A students who took our work very much overly serious.

When we finished, Itachi took the dishes and cleaned them, having to leave an hour after us. Once Itachi was busy, Sasuke and I kissed. It was better then last night. We stood ad regained ourselves as we heard the bus roar into the driveway. I grabbed my stuff and went out the side door. I doubled around the bus to make it look like I had chased the bus here. Sasuke entered and told the driver to wait a minute. He nodded with uncertainty. Sasuke sat down at the window. I entered just before the bus pulled away.

I sat next to him, much to everyone's annoyance. My cover, if anyone asked, was that it was the only available seat. Unless there was an empty seat, I'll just say something else like I like the back. All true statements, but not the truth. The truth is Sasuke.

Oyasuminasai-Good night
