Sasuke flicked his eyes to the back seat every so often, slightly amassed at what he saw every time.
In the back seat Kurama sat holding Naruto in his lap and was quietly hushing the blond attempting to stop his tears.
Itachi sat next to him driving the car, to who knows where. Sasuke could care less seeing as his mind was lost in several different thoughts.
Itachi who was calmly driving to his kitsune's house would flick his gaze to the rear-view mirror every so often and check on the two brothers. He could only sigh as he glanced at his far too curious brother.
When they finally pulled up at the home Sasuke could only stare. It was a nice house, painted a creamy white, large glass windows, the large fence made of honey-suckles, and the simple stone walkway that went to the front door and around to the back of the house.
He glanced up when he finally heard the redhead's voice as he talked to Itachi.
"Itachi you take him for me, I'll go and unlock the door."
Itachi nodded and gently took the small blond it to his arms, who latched on as soon and he could.
He and Sasuke made their way to the door and watched as Kurama struggled with the key.
"You have to shimmy it." Itachi said as he got close enough.
Kurama glared at him but did as the raven had said and shimmied the key in.
When they finally got in Itachi walked up the stairs with his blond in still in his arms.
Kurama walked into the other room and motioned for Sasuke to follow him.
He redhead then plopped down on the, eye ball burning, orange couch and glanced up at Sasuke.
"It's been a long time since I last saw your face, huh brat?"
Sasuke glared at the brat comment but then had to wonder what he meant by that. "What do you mean, I don't know you."
Kurama sighed. "I met you one time when you were five, Naruto was with me on that trip too." he said as an afterthought.
The two of them stared at each other until the soft tapping of feet met their ears. Sasuke had to hold his breath at what he saw.
Naruto stood next to Itachi, dressed in a crimson sleeveless turtle-neck shirt. The shirt had the sides cut out to display the sides of his stomach but still covered his belly-button at the same time. He had on tight, dark blue jeans that hugged his legs tightly, and had simple fuzzy slippers on his feet.
Kurama smiled and motioned for Naruto to walk over to him.
Naruto gave him a teary smile as he walked quickly to his brother's side. Kurama pulled the younger boy onto his lap and held him tight.
"Seven years is a long time." Kurama mused as he held tightly to Naruto's body. The blond simply nodded at his words.
At this Sasuke felt his eye twitch; he had come for answers not to get more confused!
"What in the world is going on here! Would someone please tell me who the heck that man is!" Sasuke finally snapped at them.
Itachi sighed at his little brother and made his way to the love-seat next to the couch.
"Sit down and we will explain things to you."
Sasuke stared at him for a few moments before taking the last remaining seat in the room.
"Now don't interrupt the story or I'll stop telling you and you'll just have to find out your own way, you got that?" Kurama growled.
Sasuke nodded and folded his arms over his chest as he prepared to listen.
Kurama took a deep breath and settled Naruto more comfortably in his lap; so that his head rested in is lap. Combing his long fingers through Naruto's hair absent minded he gazed at Sasuke, slowly getting his thoughts together.
"I think I'll start at the beginning, seeing as you know nothing about our family." Kurama decided.
"You see Naruto, my sister and I are the children of two very famous people. Our father's name is Namikaze Minato. You might know of him, seeing as he was a very good actor in his days."
Kurama watched as Sasuke nodded, and then continued. "Our mother's name was Uzumaki Kushina. Many know her as Red Death. She was a beautiful musician."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow at this, it was amazing that Naruto had such important parents and didn't gloat about it.
"Now you are probably wondering why people don't know that Naruto is their child, that's because when Naruto was not even the age of three he nearly was kidnapped from right under our own roof."
Sasuke glanced at Naruto who had closed his eyes seemingly asleep.
"Because our parents didn't want to risk taking another chance that he or Namiko might get taken away the decided to keep them secret from public view. They didn't do anything about me because I was already starting my acting career at that time." Kurama continued.
"Life for our family had gone well at that point, two years after that incident I met Itachi, having both gone to the same school, we became friends quickly." Itachi nodded to his words.
"When Naruto was five he and I went over to your home to visit Itachi, now that I think about it the reason that you probably didn't know it was Naruto was because our mother had a liking for dressing him up as a girl…" Sasuke felt his eye twitch, and glanced at Naruto. He was already quite girly even now so it probably wouldn't be hard to mistake him as a girl.
"Life went well for our family, our mother had quit her job as a singer and moved on to designing clothes, not only because it helped our father out with his plays or roles in movies but because like I said before she had a thing for putting Naruto into girly clothes."
Itachi had to stifle a laugh as he remembered Naruto running around in frilly dresses and having his hair tied up in strange places.
Naruto who was in fact awake shot Itachi a warning glare before zoning the elder Uchiha out.
"It would take four more years, until Naruto was nine that things would go bad. It was on Naruto's birth day that he would get the lead role in singing for the concert at your school."
Sasuke nodded, he remembered this, he had been so mad when he had not gotten the role himself but he didn't remember how Naruto's voice was when he would sing.
"That night had been going well that is until after… after the concert when Naruto and our parents got home." Before Kurama could say more Naruto stood up and left the room without a signal word to any of them.
"I'll go check if he's alright." Itachi whispered as he walked out after Naruto.
Kurama sighed as he watched them leave. "I don't think Naruto will ever forget that night. I myself don't know very much on what happened. I had been at a play with Itachi on that day. Naruto didn't mine us going to it though he wanted us to go to the concert as well, but we had bought the tickets two months prior to the date of the concert so after he nagged at us for several hours we finally left."
"Having thought that everything had gone well with the family we took our time coming back home…" the red-haired man closed his eyes a sad look crossing his face. "Maybe if we had come home faster we could have saved Naruto from the trauma he received but there is nothing we can do about it now."
Kurama sighed. "When Itachi and I walked through the front door to my home we had come face to face with any person's worst nightmare. The entire house was covered in blood splatter and there were bloodied hand prints all over the walls..."
For a while Kurama had stopped talking, just as Sasuke thought that he would say no more he opened his eyes and looked Sasuke strait in the eyes.
Sasuke could see all the pain the man was holding back, and the gilt that was covered up by fury. "Itachi and I stood it that doorway for several minutes until we heard the small child's scream coming from farther into the house." Kurama liked is lips.
"As we ran towards the noise we were faced with the vary sight that still gives me nightmares today."
Sasuke somehow felt he didn't want to know the answer, but he didn't know if he wanted to stop the red-haired man ether.
"Your uncle, Uchiha Madara, had pinned my little brother to the floor of our living room and was in the process of killing him. To this day that I know of Naruto still bares the scar that that man gave him."
Kurama shifted his gaze to the door way. "Madara would have killed him had I not tackled him off Naruto. Itachi had swooped in after me and taken Naruto out of the room and away from your crazed uncle, and called the police and ambulance while I was still fighting Madara. It was when I too was about to find myself ten feet under as well that Itachi took Madara on himself. He lasted far longer than I did; in fact, if memory serves me right he lasted until the police made it there."
A cruel smirk made its way onto Kurama's face at that moment. "I can never forget the satisfaction I felt when Madara went to prison with the charges of two accounts of manslaughter in the first degree and an attempt at murder in the second."
"Naruto never did recover well from what happened that night, I can only image what he felt watching our mother and father be murdered right in front of his face…"
Sasuke felt sick, Naruto was the purest person he knew, the pain the blond had felt watching that would have been worse than anything in the world.
"Sadly, I can only say he is alive today because Itachi had patched up his wounds so that the bleeding could be held back some."
"But what did you mean when you said that it had been seven years since you last saw Naruto?" Sasuke asked softly.
Kurama turned to look at him again; a scowl set firmly on his face. "Namiko, our sister refused to let me see him, she liked to call the cops whenever I came home."
Outraged Sasuke jumped up at this. "Why would she do that! Didn't you save Naruto?"
Kurama nodded. "My sister blamed Itachi and I for the fact that Madara killed our parents. Evan to this day she still hates Itachi. The only reason she allows him in this house is because the cops have stopped coming for him."
Sasuke stared at him for a moment and then remembered. "How are you here now?"
"Ah that my friend is because Namiko is out of town, and I wouldn't have been able to come sooner if Itachi hadn't taken the phone from Naruto yesterday and told me about the upcoming play."
Sasuke raised his eye brow at the red hair man. "Why didn't you come sooner?"
"Well as much as I'm ashamed to say so, I didn't want to come while my sister was here, who knows what she might have done if she had seen me."
Sasuke scowled at that, but he didn't have the right to say anything about what this man did.
Both looked up when they heard cheerful laughter coming from the kitchen. Kurama stood and walked to the door way, Sasuke right behind him.
They were both slightly shocked at what they saw. Itachi had Naruto sitting on the counter and was tickling the blonde on his sides. Itachi had a light smile on his face while Naruto's looked like his might split in half.
It wasn't until Kurama cleared his throat that the couple saw them standing there.
Naruto's face took on a whole new color of red that even put Hinata's to shame. Kurama crackled at his little brother's discomfort. Sasuke raised an eye brow at the two finding that his own brother was acting a little strange for his liking.
"Get a room your stupid love birds!" Kurama joked.
Naruto flushed even darker, if it was possible and sent a withering glare at his brother.
Itachi just smiled and lifted the blonde into his arms.
Now Sasuke on the other hand was starting to put two and two together, and he wasn't liking the results. The way Itachi sent loving looks at Naruto and received some in return. No, he did not like it at all; and it was then that he remembered what Sakura, "That was Naruto's boyfriend's car."
Sasuke felt an inner anger boil in his stomach so strong that he knew if he didn't leave he was going to make a very bad seen in front of the other three.
Sasuke spun around and walked straight out of Naruto's home, he had some things to think about.
