The next day.
Oh I'm still alive, I'm still alive and I can't apologize, no. So silent, no silence, but inside my head so loud and clear. Your screaming, your screaming, cover up with a smile I've learned to fear. Just sunshine and blue skies, is that all we get for living here?
Naruto's head snapped up at the sound of his phone ringing loudly through the car, Iruka gave him a funny for his choice in music and his face flushed a scarlet color.
"What! I love that song..." He pouted.
Oh I'm still alive, I'm still alive and I can't apologize, no. So silent, no silence, but inside my head so loud and clear. Your screaming, your screaming, cover up with a smile I've learned to fear. Just sunshine and blue skies, is that all we get for living here?
Iruka gave a look to Kakashi, they both knew it was Sasuke. He had called three times already.
Oh I'm still alive, I'm still alive and I can't apologize, no. So silent, no silence, but inside my head so loud and clear. Your screaming, your screaming, cover up with a smile I've learned to fear. Just sunshine and blue skies, is that all we get for living here?
Kakashi sighed and shook his head at his lover who was looking at him with a 'should I answer it?' type of look before looking back to the road, they had made it to Tsunade's but Naruto got hungry so they were going to Burger king.
Sasuke was hurting by now, they both knew. But, if they gave in now it would ruin everything.
Oh I'm still alive, I'm still alive and I can't apologize, no. So silent, no silence, but inside my head so loud and clear. Your screaming, your screaming, cover up with a smile I've learned to fear. Just sunshine and blue skies, is that all we get for living here?
"Okay!" Naruto shouted. "Can I please answer my phone?"
His tan hand reached out to grab the white apple Iphone 4g that was sitting in the center console only to have it smacked away. This was like the tenth time someone had called in the last hour, something must be wrong.
"N-" Kakashi was cut off before he could even say no.

"Turn the volume off Iruka." Kakashi mumbled to his lover who nodded and turned the phone to mute.
"Kakashi! Something is wrong, I can feel it!" Naruto growled, annoyed at his dads. "What if something happened to Sasuke or one of the others?"
"I'm sure everything is fine Naru-chan." Iruka lied.
"No something is-"
"Naruto." Kakashi said firmly, "Everything is fine, relax."
Naruto glared at the older man, he suddenly felt small. Like he had just gotten scolded for backtalking when he was a child... What the hell was going on?
He hadn't gotten to talk to Sasuke since yesterday morning, he wanted to. He missed the bastard, sure he loved his family, but Sasuke should have came with him. He wasn't even sure how long they were going to be there.
"Stop fucking calling me Kiba! I swear I will murder you in your fucking sleep if you don't leave me alone!" Sasuke screamed into the phone as he walked into the kitchen with red, puffy, eyes.
Mikoto looked at her son sadly, "Dear are you alright?"
It hurt her, as his mother, to see him so sad. She hoped for the sake of her son's sanity everything would get back to normal soon.
"My best fucking friend is dead mom! Everything is just god damn peachy!" He screamed, slamming the freezer door.
Itachi stood tall, a firm look taking over his face. Sasuke knew he was in the wrong, Itachi didn't need to do anything but give him a look and he apologized to their mother for his attitude.
"I'm going to my room, please don't let anyone bother me." He sighed, tears threatening to fall from his onyx eyes.
"Mother." Itachi gave her a knowing look.
"I know dear." She nodded and patted his back, her dark eyes following her youngest sons retreating form up the stairs. "I know."
"Good. Everything is going as planned." Sakura mumbled to herself. "I'll call Kakashi now and let him know we're good to go."
The silver haired man was unpacking his bags in the guest room, waiting for Iruka to get out of the shower. His mind was having thoughts of it's own at the moment, his poor son. Naruto didn't know the world of pain he was about to be thrown into.
He felt horrible for doing something this cruel to his only son, Naruto's life hadn't exactly been easy in the past. He's been abused until he was eight by a man named Orochimaru, Naruto's first foster father.
When he and Iruka had gotten him Naruto had to be put through several months of therapy, a year and four months to be exact. By the time he was happy Sasuke had come along, he's the reason Naruto had recovered so fast.
Sasuke had been with him through it all. They had grown up together from the age of eight and losing him now was going to break his heart.
His thoughts were cut short when his phone rang, most likely Sakura.
"Hello?"
"We're good to go."
"Okay." He sighed, closing the phone.
He waited a few more minutes for Iruka to get out of the shower, he had told him everything was going good and it was time for their part of the plan to be put into action. Slightly afraid of what was going to happen Iruka nodded.
They made their way to the guest room right next to theirs, it was a rather large room with white wallpaper and a queen size bed decorated with lavender colored sheets. Naruto was sitting on the side of it with a worried look on his face.
"Naruto?" Iruka spoke softly.
"Yes?" The blonde turned to look at them, something in his eyes shining with thought.
"Take a seat son, we need to talk to you about something."
Warning lights went off in Naruto's head, he knew something was wrong. He had known for the past two days, since they had left to come here. He hadn't been able to get Sasuke off of his mind, his love for the boy was to strong to let him stop thinking about him.
He turned around fully on the bed, his assure eyes not once leaving the adults in the room.
"What's going on?"
"Naruto..." Iruka started but Kakashi touched his shoulder, letting him know he didn't have to do this, that he himself would.
"There has been an accident Naruto." Kakashi stated.
"What? What kind of accident?" His heart hammered in his chest, feeling like he knew the answer yet he couldn't wrap his brain around it.
"It's Sasuke, Naruto..." Kakashi spoke quietly to his son. "He didn't... He was hit by a truck, he wasn't paying attention to the road and it rammed into the side of the car."
Naruto stood from the bed with wide eyes, he felt fear creep up his spine, wrapping it's hands around his throat and squeezing until it felt like he couldn't breath anymore, his heart had stopped in his chest and hurt coursed through his veins.
"Is he okay? I need to go home and be with him!" He screamed, making an attempt to leave the room until his wrist was caught by a firm grip.
He didn't need to turn around, Kakashi didn't either. Both men looked straight ahead, tears welling up in Naruto's eyes. No. He knew exactly what he was going to say next and he couldn't accept that, he wouldn't.
"Please don't..." Naruto begged quietly, his face so twisted with fear and hurt, his wide blue eyes leaking tears even though he wasn't blinking. "Kakashi please..."
"He's gone Naruto."
Naruto didn't even have time to process what he had just heard, he couldn't breath. His eyes were blurred with tears and he silently sank to the caramel colored carpet. His body started to shake violently and his mouth hung agape.
"No..."
Iruka had to leave, he couldn't stand seeing his son like this. On the floor staring blankly at the wall in front of him, his eyes wide with shock. He couldn't take it, this was to much pain for something so fake. He knew Kakashi understood.
"Naruto you need to listen to me okay?" Kakashi whispered, kneeling down beside the other. "Everything is going to be okay, do you hear me?"
When Naruto turned to look at him with wide, tear filled eyes he knew, he knew this was wrong. This was so wrong, what kind of father was he? A sick laughed erupted from the young boys throat, a fake smile forming on his lips.
"You're crazy." Naruto whispered.
"Naruto, he's dead." Kakashi looked at him sympathetically.
Naruto choked on a sob and tried to snatch his arm away from his father but couldn't, it only resulted into Kakashi wrapping both arms around him and holding him into his chest where he cried.
"No!" He fought to get free but it was no use, he was too weak. "No, no, no, no! H-he's fine!" Naruto choked out.
Kakashi held Naruto close until he stopped fighting and just cried. He cried and cried and cried for hours, Kakashi wasn't sure how long. Iruka had came in a given him a talk as well as Tsunade and Jiraiya, who Kakashi told about this plan.
No one could make his tears stop, no matter what they tried. It was when Naruto finally fell asleep around two am did Kakashi move him to the bed and cover him up. He crawled in beside him and held his son, Iruka on the other side of the shaking boy.
To see someone, his son, in so much pain was like having a knife shoved into his heart and twisted around. Maybe they had made the wrong decision by doing all of this. Naruto had whispered something before he fell asleep, something only he heard.
''This is all your fault... Why didn't you just let me answer my phone..."
