Thank YOU!! I love you all so much!

This chapter is all about Itachi… And Naruto. So yeah… There you go. It's a very short chapter. The rest will be!

Chapter 6

I hate this…Itachi thought as he quickly did his homework. Itachi looked it over and placed it in his bag for the next day. He took a look at his clock 3:43. He sighed and took out his laptop computer turning it on and waiting for it to boot up. Checking out the time he went over towards the door and opened it up. Going downstairs for a minute he ran to the kitchen to get something to eat. He'd been up all night doing his Advanced Placement homework and training for the huge Nation Wide Competition.

Itachi yawned a bit as he opened the fridge to see what was in there but only found fattening foods. Itachi sighed and looked in the cupboards seeing only ramen. Rolling his eyes, "It's better than anything…"

"What is?" Itachi looked towards the door and saw Naruto standing there in the doorway Itachi showed him the ramen packet, "Ramen do you want some?"

Naruto nodded, "Sure… I'm hungry. We didn't have anything to eat at the play last night."

Naruto sat down on one of the stools and waited for Itachi to put the ramen in a bowl for him. "Yeah I haven't had anything to eat too with working on the Valedictorian speech and all. Besides I've been reading through all the college offers and a lot of the best colleges want to have me there through academics or sports or both." Itachi placed the bowl in front of Naruto and rubbed his head before he began eating.

"Oi Itachi-nii? What do you want to become when you're out of college?" Itachi looked at him. "Really I don't want to go to college. I just want to live and be free… Probably join the mafia…" Naruto had an expression like this: 0o twitch… Very disturbed.

"I'm kidding… I just want to travel the world as a photographer and see the sights. You know everything." Naruto smiled. "That sounds great…"

"So did I wake you up or did Sasuke kick you out of bed?" Itachi asked while sitting across the table and waiting for a reply from Naruto who was eating the ramen.

"Nah I was awake for a while…" Naruto said with half a mouth full of ramen noodles. Itachi chuckled a bit wondering how someone so upper class didn't have table manners. Well then again… He didn't have any either.

Naruto looked at him and smiled making Itachi's heart skip a beat, Naruto's blue eyes were amazingly dark and shining happily even in the darkness of the night. "You should smile more Naruto… You're really beautiful when you do." With that Itachi took his bowl that was still half-way full of food and put it in the sink leaving a blushing blond behind in the room.

The last few days of school were hectic. There was the senior dance and the graduation ceremony, and also the graduation party. Itachi looked at Naruto who was walking down the halls with his little brother. He'd been talking with Sasuke for a while and the talk went something like this:

--Flashback

"Sasuke?" Itachi said as he looked at his brother for the fifth time that night. Sasuke looked up from his book and looked at his brother who looked troubled. "Yes Aniki?"

"Well you know how the graduation ceremony, dance and dinner are coming up this week?" Sasuke nodded listening to his brother. "Yeah so?"

"Well I need a date for it and I was wondering…"

"Yes?" Sasuke asked creeped out.

"May I please take Naruto with me? I'll hardly ever be seeing him after this and I won't consider it a date just a friendly get together. Please?" Sasuke sighed. That was all he wanted. Sasuke thought for a minute, "Wait a minute? Aren't we all attending the dinner?"

"Nope… Seniors and their dates only at the dance and dinner. Please?" Sasuke looked at his brother who seemed so desperate. "Okay… But please, don't claim him as your boyfriend."

"Can I kiss him?"

"No…"

--

Itachi looked at his hands and clutched it tighter. "It's now or never Itachi…" Looking up as Naruto came by he said, "Hey Naruto? Can I talk with you?"

Naruto nodded and walked towards Itachi saying by to Sasuke. "Yeah Itachi?"

Itachi breathed in deeply, "I was wondering… Would you like to go to the Graduation dance with me?" Naruto looked at Itachi smiled, "I'm sorry Itachi but you already know that I am engaged to Sasuke… And that I'm his boyfriend."

"Don't consider it a date then. Consider it as get together…" Naruto smiled at the card and nodded, "Okay I'll go on a date with you Itachi… I mean it is your last year here and so I'd like to go with you to the dance."

Itachi smiled, "Okay well then I'll see you later okay Naruto?"

"Okay…" Naruto said smiling again at the older Uchiha, He really is beautiful…

--

Naruto didn't know how to tell this to Sasuke, "How can I just tell him that—"

"That you're going on a date with Itachi?" Came a voice behind him and it was Sasuke, "Yeah I already know."

Naruto looked away, "I'm sorry."

"Why? I already talked with Itachi and set ground rules. It won't be a date."

"Alright, thank you Sasuke."

--

That night was beautiful Itachi stared at his cellphones screen and pondered if he should go or not.

Akatsuki

We settle this tonight. Meet at the fallowing address and be sure not to be late. Blood is going to be shed tonight.

Sound

Itachi glared at the message. They had to be kidding. Itachi placed on his coat and jumped off the balcony landing on the ground. Looking at the windows of his mansion he said goodbye. I'll never see their faces again… But at least it will be quick.

Naruto was walking by Itachi's room from getting a cup of water. Seeing the door ajar he opened it up to see the window to the balcony open and he looked around the black room. His room was filled with photographs and Naruto looked at his laptop that was opened up. The screen was brightly lighten and Naruto looked at it.

Naruto

I know that you are up while I'm writing this and I just need to tell you this. I'm probably gone for good by the time you are reading this and so as my final words I just want to tell you… I love you. I know that you are supposed to marry Sasuke but in the long two months that you have been here living with us I have developed feelings for you. I just wish I would've had the time to show you these photographs that I took when you were younger. And these pictures of you now…I just wish…I had the time to say this to your face and not in a letter. I really do love you Naruto, but… I want you to love my brother more. Sasuke deserves your love more than I could ever wish to have. Please… Grant my last request and marry my little brother. Maybe I can look up from hell or let my spirit wander long enough to see the celebration.

Please make him happy,

Itachi

Naruto looked around the room but there was nothing to be found that would lead him to where Itachi was. He tried to look everywhere but he couldn't find Itachi.

--

Ambulances were heard all over the city as gunshots were being heard from everywhere. Screams of terror came out of the mouths of the spectators as dead bodies fell to the ground. Naruto ran towards the scene of the crime and gasped in horror, "Itachi!!" Running past the police line he ran to the body lying on the ground. Hearing the faint breathing of the other he looked at the police. "Ah, look it's Uchiha Itachi… Another gang fight…" Came the replies of the specators. Naruto looked at him and moved a bang out of his hair. Mikoto ran towards her son yelling, "ITACHI!! Oh my god…"

Naruto found Itachi's cell phone outside on the balcony and ran towards Mikoto's and Fugaku's room waking up the whole house. They all drove as fast as they could to the scene of the crime and that's where they found all of the Akatsuki members on the ground. Hearing gasps behind them Naruto looked and saw Deidara's and Sasori's mothers.

"My baby!" Screamed Sasori's mother who was surprisingly not drunk. Running towards the place where Deidara was crying on the dead mans shoulder. "Sasori… wake up Sasori…" He would mumble between his sobs. Deidara's arm was severely cut and they said it needed to be amputated. Naruto looked at Deidara who was crying aimlessly at the dead man who received a shot to the head automatically killing him. Deidara was crying and refusing to go with the medics who needed him to go with him. "No! I won't leave him!"

"He's dead, you need to come with us."

"NO! He's not dead!" Naruto could tell that Deidara was becoming delusional. Losing the one he loved the most to a gun shot was horrible. Listening to the cops they said, "Four fatalities, a gang fight most likely… Yeah it was Akatsuki. The other gang? We don't know… Wait we got a live one!" Looking towards Sasori who began to sit up taking off his a piece of metal from his head where they was just a cut on his forehead. The bullet must've just knocked him out from the impact. Deidara hugged him to the ground getting blood all over them. "Come on Dei… we need to get you taken care of."

Naruto looked at Sasuke who was bending beside him. Naruto had tears in his eyes and leaned against his boyfriend. "Sasuke… Will Itachi be fine?"

"I can't say Naruto…" Naruto cried on his shoulder as they sat on the ground of the bloodied street.

--

The hospital smelled of death and sickness. Naruto always hated that smell… going to the receptionist he asked for the room number. She looked at him strangely and then saw Sasuke behind him. "Family only…"

"He's with me…"

"Family only…" She said to Sasuke again.

Mikoto came to her, "Don't worry about it. He's my adopted son." The receptionist ah'ed at them and told them the room number.

Naruto walked with them towards the elevator. "Thanks Mikoto…"

"Don't worry you'll be my son-in-law in a few years so it was necessary." Naruto watched as the door opened up and he walked towards the room marked, '429-a' Naruto walked in and gasped happily running towards the bed where Itachi lay upright and looking out the window.

Naruto hugged the other who was surprised to see him, "Naruto? Where am I, am I in hell yet?"

"You will be once I'm through with you Itachi!" Mikoto yelled wrapping her arms around her oldest son crying. "I'm so happy that you're alive…"

"Alive huh? So this god forsaken place is my room at the hospital…" Itachi looked around at all the Goth things that adorned the walls.

"I thought that I was killed… Oh well." Itachi laid back on his bed and stared at the ceiling. "Can I go home? This place stinks and has horrible food."

"Of course…" Said the doctor behind them. "Just let me look at you one more time and you're free to go…"

Itachi nodded and they all left him to the doctors care. Naruto went into the hall and saw Deidara and Sasori walking towards the stairs with their parents. "Deidara! Sasori!" Deidara was holding his arm that was in a cast and wrapped up to stop any further bleeding. Their parents were holding onto them with dear life. Deidara looked at him and smiled, "Hey Naruto-kun…"

"Are you two alright?" He asked referring to Deidara's arm and Sasori's head. They nodded, "Yeah, how's Itachi by the way. I heard he was in surgery for five hours trying to stitch him back up and get the bullet out of his chest, arm and leg."

"Yeah, he's up right now." Itachi came out of the room with a crutch with a limp in his other leg. Putting on his shoes he began walking towards Naruto. "Hey how about we get home. I need to finish my speech… Or start writing it actually."

Naruto smiled and started walking with him down the hallway and towards the door that led them all to freedom.
