Author's Notes
I've been hit with writer's block for quite some time, and GOD knows why! I suddenly just came up with this chapter, while trying, desperately, to update my most popular fics ... So for those that wanted an update, well here it is and very sorry for the lateness.
As for the new "Presentation", with author's notes and all, well ffnet has been a pain in the ass. It won't allow many characters which used to be my main ones, but I hope you like the new façade!
With that said, on with the story! And Please don't forget to review. It's what kept this story alive and me going.
This is SEQUEL to UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOUR, Version 2.

JUTSU LIST
Byakugan – White Eyes - Description: This jutsu is activated in the eyes, much like the Sharingan. Sharingan actually developed from Byakugan. This jutsu allows the user's vision to become 360 degrees. The user is able to see fully around them, and all their surroundings. Byakugan also has the ability to see objects, and view the inner coil system of a person's body, and in advanced cases, the Chakra Holes. Using this, the user can attack the inner organs of a person, and do high amounts of damage.
Sharingan - Description: A pupil born technique, which allows the user to do to a large number of things. The Sharingan's first and most well known ability - is to memorize any technique that it is a witness to - as well as register the movements of opponents. Second, it is able to hypnotize the opponent, giving an advantage to the user. It can also suggest movements to the hypnotized brain, and 'see through; any illusionary techniques. Although it is a power jutsu, it absorbs chakra. The power of the Sharingan is judged through the amount of dots in the persons eye.

Previously ...
Before Neji leaves for his 'midnight' mission, he and Naruto decided to make the most of it, and made love. After their nightly 'activities', Neji leaves a sleeping Naruto behind, later joining Sasuke and a few Anbu members, to track down and kill once and for all Itachi.
Never Alone Chapter 6 : All Good Things Come To An End ...
Naruto's Apartment
---- Bedroom ----
Among the tangled sheets of the bed, there, peacefully laid Naruto. His upper body fully exposed to the small rays of sunlight that managed to pass through the curtains.
As the minutes passed, Naruto's facial expressions twitched a little, form the sudden light and warmth it caused on his closed eyes. In a poor attempt to block it, he pulled up the white sheet above his head and groaned.
"What time is it anyway..?" Naruto mumbled with a low voice. His free hand, reaching out to the night table, where the clock was.
But then he remembered something. The clock was always on Neji's side of the bed, meaning he needed to go over his lover for this. Sadly, it's then he realized his lover was already gone.
Naruto tossed the sheets off his face, glancing beside him.
Neji was gone.
"I wish he didn't have to go already ..." Naruto murmured, bringing his knees up to his chest and wrapping his arms around them.
Konoha's Forest
The team proceeded with caution to their destination, never once, letting their guard down. All were too focused on the importance of the mission to come, but that didn't mean that some of them had other thoughts in mind ...
'Although the Hokage sent these Anbu with us, I doubt they'll be any use.' Sasuke thought, glancing to his right, to see Neji standing by his side.
"I suppose we're thinking of the same thing." Neji spoke, closing his eyes.
The team decided to take a 5 minute rest, to better evaluate the situation and action to take, since they were closing in on the two Akatsuki members. Sasuke and Neji stayed put, while the other Anbu members, checked their surroundings to be sure they were on the right track.
"That would be?" He replied, eyeing the Hyuga.
"If we go in battle with those two Akatsuki, I doubt they'll come out of it alive." Neji replied, reopening them to look straight into his friend's eyes.
"Hn." Sasuke's favorite word came out.
Before they could talk any more, the Anbu came back from their scout.
"Uchiha-san. According to the tracks, he should reach them within an hour, if we quicken our speed." The Anbu reported, while his companions remained silent.
'Strange ... Itachi isn't one to leave a trail ...' Sasuke thought. He was surprised to hear such news.
"Prepare your gear and weapons. Be more alert than usual. The fact that we can track him so easily, we must take in consideration that he might be expecting us." Neji gave out his order, loud and clear for them to understand that the situation was more dangerous than ever. But this also confirmed the doubts Sasuke had in the back of his mind.
For a few seconds, Uchiha stared at Neji, a bit surprised that they both thought the same thing, but also relieved that it he wasn't being too paranoid about it.
"Let's go." Sasuke ordered, leading the way.
'Going up against his older brother, this battle won't be easy. Both mentally and physically ...' Neji stared at the young man's back, before stepping forward, to continue on their journey.
Naruto's Apartment
---- Bedroom ----
He debated to either stay in bed, or get out of it. He always hated it to wake up alone in bed, knowing that Neji was out on another mission. Always the most dangerous missions.
But then he also thought about Sasuke. Those two were always together on mission. He was very grateful to the 'old hag' for teaming them up on missions.
"Well, I might as well take a shower!" Naruto went back to his cheerful state. There was no point good in thinking negatively about the mission they were on.
Naruto simply jumped out of his bed, not really caring he was walking through his apartment, entirely naked, it wasn't like he had roommates, and for the Villagers, they could simply go to hell. It would be their own damn fault to if they dared to look within his apartment.
"Screw them." Naruto spoke to the empty room. It was like normal for him. He at least cursed those Villagers once a day, more when he was in a bad mood. But today was going to be a good day! After all, he was going to have breakfast with Hinata, and best of all, she was cooking!
With that set in his mind, he decided it would be best to hurry up. He wouldn't want to make the lady wait!
Kiba's Apartment---- Bedroom ----
A nice smell filled the bedroom, where a young but well built body, laid among the sheets. Before even opening his eyes, Kiba sniffed the air for this delicious scent and knew that his beloved was preparing him breakfast.
"Hinata ..." Kiba smiled, slowly sitting up in his bed.
"Ohayo" A soft and sweet voice greeted him.
Kiba rubbed his eyes a few times before finally opening them. He was greeted with the beautiful sight of his, soon to be wife. The young shinobi smiled, and she smiled back.
"Hinata, you didn't have to ..." Kiba murmured, watching her enter the room with his breakfast on a plate.
"I know, but I made breakfast for Naruto as well, since I'm meeting with him today." Hinata explained herself as she walked towards her fiancé and settled the plate in front of him.
"Ramen?" Kiba only needed to see her eyes to see that he was right. "Man! Doesn't he ever get tired of eating that stuff?" He was a bit annoyed, since each time they would eat at his place, they ended up with ramen for a meal, no matter what time of the day it was.
"I know this will cheer him up. Since Neji-nisan and Sasuke already left." She explained, reaching for the tea and pouring him a cup. "You know how Naruto seems more 'depressed' when they aren't around." Hinata sat down on the edge of the bed, lowering her gaze to the floor.
"Yeah ..." Kiba knew all too well how she cared for her cousin and of course Naruto. After all, he was his first crush and the reason she changed for the better instead of being a shy and dominated Hyuga.
So Kiba did something, the only thing that came to mind to cheer her up. He leaned forward, raising her chin so their eyes would met and gave her a soft kiss on the lips.
"Ki ..." She didn't even have the time to say his name as a pair of lips covered her own. At first she resisted, but as always, she gave in within a few seconds.
Kiba broke the kiss and looked deeply within those silver eyes. Gently caressing her cheek with his hand.
"Tell Naruto I said 'hi'." Kiba smiled, before he sat back in his bed, ready to eat the food she cooked for him.
Hinata smiled. Kiba was always one to love the attention, but he was the only one to make her worries and sorrow vanish with one simple kiss. But most of all, she was grateful to how kind he could be.
Despite his loud outburst, he still supported her in every way possible.
"I'll be back home for lunch." Hinata informed him, before walking out of the room.
Naruto's Apartment
---- Bedroom ----
Naruto barely had the time to come out of his shower, when the door bell rang.
"I'LL BE RIGHT THERE!" Naruto shouted, as he quickly grabbed the nearest and largest towel, wrapping it securely around his waist.
---- Front Door ----
Naruto ran from his bedroom, all the way to his front door, to greet his visitor.
"Hinata. Ohayo!" Naruto greeted her with a smile, knowing that only a few people actually knocked on his door, and the only one due to visit him was the Hyuga girl.
Hinata was about to greet him as well, when she noticed how little clothes the blond wore.
"I must have interrupted something ... I can come back later and ..." Although she no longer had a crush on him, she was a bit shy and embarrassed that she made him answer the door in only a towel ...
"Oh no it's fine! Come in! I'll just go get properly dressed!" Naruto said, scratching the back of his head.
Stepping aside, Hinata walked in and made her way into the kitchen, while Naruto closed the door and ran back into his bedroom to change in a more 'proper' clothing.
---- Kitchen ----
Hinata couldn't help but blush at the sight she saw only minutes ago. After all, the only person she came to see near or completely naked was her lover.
Thinking of that moment, she then smiled. At last Naruto seemed to be doing better than she first imagined. Since in past events, sometimes the young shinobi wouldn't eat, sleep nor smile.
She was soon brought back within reality when she felt a hand resting on her shoulder.
"Sorry about that" He apologized.
"I could have waited outside a few more minutes ..." Hinata tried her best to give a better explanation.
"No way!" Naruto shouted, taking a few steps away from the young female. He could easily count the true friends he trusted on one hand, and he always respected her the most, aside from Sasuke, since their bond was different then the one he had with Hinata. He considered her like the sister he never had. "You're like the only close friend that I got that's here for me when ..." The he went again ... Getting all depressed when he knew he had nothing to worry about. Neji and Sasuke always came back home, and this was a simple mission, unlike others that were handed to those two before.
Hinata was a bit surprised by the sudden outburst of her friend, but when she took a good look into those blue eyes, she saw the worry and sadness hidden within them.
So she did what she thought he needed most at the moment.
Someone to be there for him and comfort him.
Naruto felt himself being drawn closer to Hinata's body, feeling warm arms wrapping themselves around his upper body.
Without even realizing it, Naruto wrapped his arms around Hinata's waist, seeking more warmth and comfort in her. Resting his head against her shoulder, while she gently patted his back and held him tightly against her.
Naruto closed his eyes, enjoying the sweet scent of the perfume she wore. He snuggled closer to that warmth and smiled. He rarely felt this good with anyone, except for Neji.
It was always a good thing that Hinata was always there when he needed her the most, since most of the time, when Neji was out on mission, so was Sasuke ...
He slowly opened his eyes when he heard her soft voice.
"They'll be back soon ..." She whispered, knowing that he needed to hear those words.
"Thanks ..." Naruto mumbled, pulling away from her. "We better keep this between us. I wouldn't want Kiba to get all jealous on me and try to kick my ass." He joked, trying to get the girl to smile as well.
And she did.
Naruto was always like that. He hated to show his weaker side to anyone. So he always smiled when he could, and that smile made other people smile too.
"I brought you some breakfast." Hinata informed him, pointing at the basket on the kitchen counter.
"Eh? But I thought we were going out to eat?" Naruto was a bit confused to why she changed her mind.
He stared at that basket, not knowing what was really in it.
"I thought we could stay here and talk." She knew he needed to talk to someone. Originally, Neji and Sasuke weren't suppose to leave that soon, so she decided to try and get him to open up to her more. "Besides I thought you liked my cooking?" She glared at him, but not a mean one, just one to annoy him.
"I love your cooking!" Naruto tried to save himself. He surely didn't mean to insult the way she cooked her food. Hell she was way better than what Sakura always tried, but failed to cook.
"Then you'll be happy with what I brought." Hianta softened her gaze, walking towards the counter. She opened the box, slowly pulling out different, covered dishes.
"That smell ..." Naruto found himself sniffing the air. He knew that smell! "Ramen!" He shouted, very happy that she brought him his favorite meal.
"Hai." She smiled, uncovering the plates and showing him the different tastes he could pick. "What flavor do you want me to make your ramen?" She asked, stepping aside so that the blond had a better view of the choices available to him.
"I want the one you made last time I ate at Kiba's apartment!" Naruto shouted. He was really happy that she brought his favorite dish. Because she was such a great cook, and the ramen was the best. He didn't know what she added to it, but it made it always tastier and better than the Ramen Restaurant he always went to. Plus it was free!
"Ok. How about you set the table while I cook us breakfast?" She proposed, while putting aside the ingredients she needed for her 'special ramen order'
"Sure." Naruto lost no time to set up the table, while Hinata prepared their breakfast.
Konoha's Forest
The Anbu team jumped from one tree to the next, Sasuke leading them, while Neji covered their backs from behind the group. They continued in silence, until Sasuke stopped. The others followed his example, while Neji joined his side.
"Any sign yet?" Neji asked, noticing how tense his teammate was.
"Could you take a look?" Sasuke asked him, staring ahead as though he felt something.
Neji noticed the concern in those black eyes and decided it would be safer to make sure if the young shinobi was paranoid or not.
"Byakugan!" Neji spoke out, after finishing the hand signs. Veins appeared besides each eyes, as the young man focused on the same spot as Sasuke.
"And?" Sasuke was becoming impatient. This was all to track down and kill his older brother. The one who slaughtered his entire clan, leaving only him alive. The mere thought of that past moment made his blood boil ...
"Your instinct was correct. I clearly detect 2 forms ahead of us." Neji confirmed, but stayed focus on the source.
"Time?" Sasuke asked, his voice somewhat betraying his current emotional state. He was pissed, but knew that last time he went into battle without even thinking, he ended up in a hospital for a few weeks.
So he clenched his fists, showing his white knuckles, while he bit his lower lip, suppressing the urge to attack without a plan.
Of course, this didn't go unnoticed by the Hyuga.
"With our previous speed, within 5 minutes." Neji answered, glancing over his teammate.
After a minute of silence, the Anbu waited for both Captains to give out their orders on how they'll proceed.
"Uchiha..?" Neji murmured his name, placing a hand on the young man's shoulder.
This action alone seemed to have brought him back to reality.
"Gomen ... I was ..." Sasuke didn't quite know what to say. This would be the first time he would reencounter his older brother four years ago, when Naruto foolishly came to his rescue and ended up being hurt.
"You have nothing to be sorry about. If I were in your situation, I would react the same way." Neji reassured him, knowing that he needed to hear those words.
So far, the other Anbu remained silent, but they hadn't forgotten about their mission.
"Uchiha-san." The Anbu merely wanted them to remember what was a stake.
Both Captains turned around, seeing that they were drifting away from the original mission.
"Let's go." Neji spoke, jumping to the next tree. Leading the way to their prime targets.
Naruto's Apartment
---- Kitchen ----
Finishing their breakfast, Naruto laid back on his chair, patting his belly. Hinata simply looked amused by the scene, but wasn't too surprised. After all, the young man did eat about 8 bowls of ramen.
"That was SOOO GOOD!" He shouted. It had really been a long time since he last ate anything Hinata made.
"I'm happy you like my cooking." She smiled to him.
She wasted no time, standing up and gathering the dirty dishes that needed to be cleaned. As she was about to get Naruto's empty bowls, a tanned hand covered her own.
Raising her head, silver eyes met blue ones.
"Hinata. You're my guest, I'll do them later. So sit back down and let me do this." Naruto softly spoke to her, as he gently removed his hand from hers. He gathered his empty bowl, as well as the small stack of dirty dishes that she had already piled up on the table.
"But I really don't mind ..." She whispered, not really wanting to go against his decision.
"I know, but I do." He quickly replied, standing up and setting the dirty dishes in the sink. "Besides, it will keep me busy later."
The last phrase was said with somewhat some sadness, or so Hinata noticed. She was always good on deducting other people's feelings, since she observed them a lot while staying quiet about it.
"I could call Kiba and stay here all day if you want ...?" She offered, knowing that loneliness wasn't the best thing for him. It was obvious that something bothered him, but he simply wouldn't open up about it.
"Iie. I'll be fine" He replied, leaning against the wall, crossing his arms. "Besides, soon I won't be alone ever again." He smiled. The simple thought of the conversation that he and Neji had last night, made him beyond happy.
"Is Neji going to quit?" Hinata bluntly asked, after all, to her, there was no other possibility for poor Naruto to never be alone again.
"No! Hell no!" Naruto shouted, startling Hinata.
"Then how?" She asked, thinking more of what her friend kept saying.
Naruto grinned. He just loved it when people were clueless.
"We were thinking of 'extending' our family." Naruto gave her a hint, knowing that she would quickly understand.
"You mean ..." She was shocked, and yet very happy.
"Hai. As soon as Neji comes back, we are going to see the old hag to get ourselves a little Hyuga or Uzumaki to call our own!" He felt so proud of himself. But anyone who heard those words, would see that to only mention it, made the young man happy.
"That's really good news." Hinata smiled, happy for her friend.
Everyone knew that those two needed something to make their life perfect, but none ever thought it was possible. After all, two boys can't have any children, but then, they hadn't even thought about adoption.
Konoha's Forest
Just like Neji calculated, the Anbu team reached their targets within 5 minutes. Sasuke quickly joined his friend's side, looking down to the ground. He noticed the familiar Akatsuki black coats, along with the sword strapped on the back of one of them.
"Your call." Neji whispered, crouching on the branch to keep both their enemies within his view.
The pair of Akatsuki members continued to walk, but came to a sudden stop.
"He knows we're here ..." Sasuke whispered, standing back up on his two feet. His gaze settled on his older brother's back.
"What do you ..." Neji didn't quite comprehend what the Uchiha meant, that was until he took a closer look at the scene below them.
He couldn't believe his eyes.
Itachi was smiling.
"I underestimated him ..." Neji cursed himself. If there was one thing he learned from Naruto, was to never underestimate your opponent. Now he knew that despite the reports and information they gathered about Uchiha Itachi, he was much stronger than he thought.
"Little brother ..." A mere whisper escaped the older Uchiha, slowly turning around to meet the intense gaze he felt on his back.
Sasuke desperately tried to control all the emotions that ran through his entire body, trying his best, to keep himself calm.
After all, they had just lost the element of surprise.
Itachi and Kisame knew they were nearby, so it was pretty much pointless for them to remain hidden.
"I'm going down there." He bluntly stated, taking a step forward, ready to jump down. "The rest of you stay hidden until you see an opening." He gave out his order.
Before he could even think of jumping down to the ground, Neji quickly grabbed him by the shoulder.
"There's no way I'm letting you go down there by yourself." Neji hissed, his Byakugan still activated, which made him look even more serious.
"This is my problem." Sasuke reminded the shinobi, his eyes already glowing red.
"Itachi might be, but Kisame isn't." Neji spoke seriously. He knew how much the young Uchiha wanted his revenge for what his own brother did to the clan, but he knew alone against those two, he wouldn't last long. At least they could even the odds, besides, he just offered his help, a help the Uchiha couldn't refuse.
Sasuke looked a bit confused to why Neji insisted so much, but then he understood those simple words. His pride wouldn't let him get any help, so of course Neji simple gave a reasonable excuse to get down there and cover his back.
"Fine." Sasuke growled, wasting no time. He jumped down from the tree onto the ground, where he stood only 5 meters away from his older brother.
Kisame and Itachi turned around, facing their new opponents, while the remaining Anbu stayed hidden within the trees, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"About time they showed up." Kisame commented, wielding his, still wrapped sword, before himself and his partner.
Itachi remained silent, his Chinese style hat and strange Akatsuki cloak, covering most of his body. The only visible thing that proved it was truly Itachi, were the well known eyes, the Sharingan.
"Why are you here ... Sasuke?" Itachi addressed him with a calm voice. Slowly raising his eyes to meet those of the young man's.
"To eliminate you. To avenge my family and clan." Sasuke replied, trying desperately to be as calm and cold as he could be.
"You are truly foolish little brother." Itachi paused, closing his eyes. "Until you have your so called friends around and do not take the proper action, you will never be able to obtain these eyes." He finished, slowly opening his eyes. Showing the true power hidden within them.
'Proper action? Is there more behind the clan's tragedy that wasn't told?' Neji thought, knowing that those words held a deep meaning within them. A meaning, which only Uchiha Sasuke could possibly understand.
"Shut up!" Sasuke hissed.
Those words got to him, which worried the Hyuga even more.
"Until you accomplish that act, you will never be any challenge to me." Itachi reminded him, brushing his dark bangs aside and away from his eyes.
"Too bad, I'm never going to do that." Sasuke smirked, regaining control, but felt the burning sensation in the right side of his neck, courtesy of Orochimaru.
"In that case ..." Itachi began, closing his eyes.
Only three words spoken, and the oldest Uchiha disappeared from sight.
Kisame smirked, knowing all too well what his partner had in mind.
"Just like I told you Uchiha, he's yours." Neji reminded Sasuke of their earlier conversation.
"Hai." Sasuke replied, concentrating on his surroundings. Leaving the other Akatsuki members in the capable hands of his partner, Hyuga Neji.
Before either one could speak or move, a low voice was heard. Sasuke could feel the warm breath against the skin of his neck, his eyes widening, aware of the situation he was in.
"I'll just kill you." Itachi finished, raising his kunai and targeting his little brother's neck.
"Uchiha-san!" One of the Anbu yelled out, fearing the worse.
By pure reflex, hearing the name shouted, made the young Hyuga worry. He turned around to get a view or even a glimpse of what was happening, but within a second, his opponent appeared before him, blocking his view.
Kisame stood before the young Hyuga.
"I'm your opponent brat." Kisame most definitely didn't want to be ignored. After all he didn't get the chance to kill that much on mission. Plus, to him, a Hyuga would prove most interesting to fight against.
Even with his Byakugan activated, the chakra emitted by the ex-mist shinobi, covered the one's of both Uchiha members.
A loud clash was heard and the next thing the Hyuga saw, was blood.
Naruto's Apartment
---- Bedroom ----
Hinata finally left after many hours of him talking about his future with Neji and perhaps the little toddler they would have together. She too informed him of future plans she had with Kiba, but of course, Naruto couldn't help but sometimes joke about the dog-nin.
Naruto smiled.
He'd been laying on his bed for 15 minutes now, staring at the many pictures of him and his lover. How happy they looked together. He couldn't help but miss the guy already.
He then looked above the pictures, where he could see the bright moon through the window.
How lovely it always seemed.
But then it started to rain.
"That's weird, they never said it was going to rain ..." Naruto whispered to the empty room. How he wished he wasn't alone on times like these.
Knock. Knock.
"Huh?" He let out. He sat up on his bed, eyeing his bedroom door curiously because of the sound that was heard beyond it.
Knock. Knock.
"Maybe Hinata forgot something." It was the first thought that crossed his mind. Besides who else would come at his apartment, on a rainy evening, and knocking nonetheless.
He lazily got his butt of the bed, walking out of his bedroom, making his way across the small apartment to greet his friend.
----Front Door ----
Naruto quickly made his way to the door, opening it, expecting to see his friend, Hinata, but what he saw, was something he never wanted to really see.
"Naruto ..." The dark haired shinobi spoke out his name so softly, but yet with so much sadness.
Naruto's eyes widened when he set his eyes upon the person. It wasn't the who it was, but the condition this young shinobi was in.
He was covered in blood. A lot of blood ...
"I'm so sorry ..." The dark haired shinobi spoke those last few words before falling to his knees.
TBC
Done! I know the chapter could have been longer, but it's better than nothing, due that's it's been like 2 months! I'm so ashamed, but with my College debt, no other way to pay then work crazy hours! And to add it, I burnt my hand pretty badly while working.
I work at a Subway if any are interested ... So basically, by pure reflex, there was this plate where the bread is cooked, and my colleague almost dropped it on the floor, while taking it out of the oven. As stupid as I am, I caught it, which resulted in burning my poor left hand ...
So I'm still glad I can type with my right hand! My life is always full of surprises. Good and bad!
