Hekki bottom everyone,
Just so everyone knows I have been extremely busy with the holidays that I haven't been able to write as much and I have been reading so much that I haven't been interested in writing. Okay, to start off I graduated college on the 14th so that happened then everything after that has been a blur. I hope everyone's holidays so far are going well.
Reviews:
SoraROCK: Thank you very much.
Mkayemolina: I am always happy to read your reviews because there always so long. I love long reviews. They didn't particularly give in to what Sasuke and Itachi said but they do place a tall order of trust but there is also a lot of mistrust after what happened. Minato and Fugaku's friendship will come into play soon but not in this chapter.
Guest: They are going to have a setback but it won't be so bad because they also grow in the chapter too. Yes, you can break the mating bond but Sasuke didn't want that. No Naruto doesn't know you can break the mating bond because when he asked Sasuke lied to him and said there was no other way aside from them being together. Oh and thank you. I was actually laughing while I crossed the stage because my family was so loud. I thought I would cry but I didn't I kept my composure.
Enjoy everyone.
Naruto was in his wolf form when Kurama woke up. He was thankful that Kokuo didn't come back to his apartment or it would have been a rude awakening for three of them and he wasn't ready for that.
"Naruto wake up," Kurama said. "Why are you in this form?" Kurama asked as he moved around off his bed.
"I couldn't get comfortable," Naruto muttered as he changed back to human form.
"I get that but would if Kokuo came back to the apartment and seen you? What would have happened then?" Kurama asked.
"I would have acted like your dog," Naruto said as he got up.
He had three missed calls from their dad. Two text messages from his mother and three from Karin all wondering where he was. Naruto texted them all back and when he scrolled down more in his phone, he realized he got a text from Sasuke about if he wanted to hang out with him still. Naruto found himself replying quicker to Sasuke than he did to his own family.
Kurama looked at Naruto unsure of what was going on with his brother. He didn't talk about what happened yesterday between him and Sasuke but he was sure he should talk to him about it after but he seems to not want to talk about it.
"What are your plans now little brother?" Kurama asked.
"I plan on giving Sasuke a proper chance," Naruto said.
"We should try to figure out a way to break the bond with his family. Would if they try to force you into the pack?" Kurama asked worriedly.
"I won't join the pack," Naruto said confidently in himself.
"How are you so sure?" Kurama asked.
"Because I don't want to be in it," Naruto said. "And if anything, I already have a pack with my family," Naruto said as he moved to the bedroom door.
"Where are you going?" Kurama asked.
"I am going back to the house to change and get ready to go with Sasuke for the day," Naruto said.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Kurama asked.
"I am going to be fine I promise," Naruto said walking back to his brother knocking their heads together.
Kurama nodded his head and he couldn't help but be worried about his brother especially after everything he was told yesterday.
"Be careful," Kurama mumbled as he heard his front door shut.
Naruto started running toward his house knowing it would take at least thirty minutes before he got there. As he ran a car pulled up to him. It was Sasuke.
"Where are you running to?" Sasuke asked.
"I was at my brother's house so I was heading back home," Naruto said as he got in the car.
"Yeah, why do you smell like a dog?" Sasuke asked.
"I was sleeping in my wolf form," Naruto said shocking Sasuke.
"Why?" Sasuke asked.
"I don't know I wasn't comfortable and ended up that way," Naruto said as he looked out the window.
It shocked Sasuke because he wasn't comfortable last night either which led to him sleeping in his wolf form also. There link to each other must be getting stronger or that would have never happened.
"I was sleeping in wolf form too," Sasuke said softly but he was sure that Naruto caught it.
"What does that mean?" Naruto asked.
"It could mean that is bond is growing stronger now that you aren't rejecting me," Sasuke said biting his lower lip.
"Or now that I am actually being asked what I want to do about the situation I'm in," Naruto said.
"Or that," Sasuke said shrugging his shoulders.
"Did you always follow orders?" Naruto questioned not looking out the window and facing Sasuke.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Sasuke asked.
"Have you ever just didn't listen to your family?" Naruto asked.
"I don't listen all the time and get into positions later that are difficult to get out of," Sasuke said glancing at Naruto.
"I never listen, I don't like to follow people's way of thinking unless I agree with it," Naruto said then had a thoughtful expression as he closed his eyes. "I take that back I do tend to listen to my older sister and brother. My mother doesn't really demand things from me and my dad and I are pretty close but he tries to keep a tight rein on me. I am assuming that since I am a werewolf now it is worse," Naruto said.
"I listen to my brother and try to do my best to listen to the others but I don't as much as I should. Yeah, you're an Alpha so it has a lot of authority problems along with the fact that you don't want to submit to someone your Alpha part deems inferior to yourself." Sasuke explained.
"I am not cocky, I wouldn't think like that," Naruto said slightly offended.
"You don't but your wolf does. You won't notice well maybe you will now." Sasuke said as he pulled into Naruto's house.
"I got to keep watch of that don't I?" Naruto asked.
"You will see it without keeping watch especially with how you treat me on instinct," Sasuke said with a soft chuckle.
"What are you talking about? How do I treat you?" Naruto asked.
"Oh, you will see," Sasuke said laughing.
"Stop laughing and tell me," Naruto said appalled his glasses off as he felt better.
"You don't need to wear your glasses anymore I see," Sasuke said.
"That's... weird I don't remember taking them off," Naruto said.
"You set them on my dashboard," Sasuke gestured to his car.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Naruto asked glaring at him.
"I didn't see the point in it," Sasuke said.
They entered the house and three voices were coming from the kitchen. It was filled with annoyance.
"Be careful and go to my room," Naruto said.
"What did I tell you?" Sasuke said his head tilting to the side his hair getting in his face.
"Just shut up and go," Naruto grumbled pushing Sasuke.
"See your protective streak is showing," Sasuke whispered only he would hear.
"Dad?" Naruto said going toward the kitchen where he heard the voices once Sasuke was safely in the room. "Mom? What's going on?" Naruto asked confused.
Sasuke was in the room listening firmly to what was going on because he had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.
"We heard some pretty disturbing news from a secret source. We..." Kushina started.
"What?" Naruto asked getting nervous and pulling back when he saw the silver blade.
"We heard you're a werewolf. We need to check to see," Minato said.
"We were told from this source that is why you don't want to hunt anymore," Kushina said.
Karin was in the corner scared for her brother looking like she was about to intervene but Naruto stepped forward confident in his strides.
"I'm not a werewolf. Who would give you that idea?" Naruto asked with fear in his heart but the confidence to step forward. "Stay in the room," Naruto whispered and he knew Sasuke could hear him even though Sasuke was scared for Naruto.
"Prove it cut your hand," Kushina said.
Naruto took the blade from his mother and realized he wasn't burning the way he thought he should. He took off his glove and cut the palm of his hand wincing as it cut. That shit hurt despite it not burning the way it was supposed to since he was a werewolf.
"See I'm still a human," Naruto said annoyed. "Now can I go to my room," Naruto said glaring at his family never letting the blade go.
"Yes, you may," Kushina said clearly happy that her son wasn't what he actually was.
Karin was in a deep moment of shock to know that his brother had the ability to keep himself safe.
"Not right now Karin," Naruto said as she made to follow him out the kitchen.
"Okay," Karin said sadly as she sat back down.
As he started walking to his room, he could feel the eyes on him and he felt his eyes changing colors making him move faster to his room and slam the door shut getting away from prying eyes. He didn't want to see them and they could all tell.
"Are you okay?" Sasuke asked worried about running up to him checking his hand immediately seeing that it was closing up but very slowly.
"Explain," Naruto said slowly but Sasuke could tell he was having a problem breathing.
"Are you okay?" Sasuke asked grabbing Naruto's face so they had to face each other.
"Effects after a while," Naruto said as he tossed the blade onto the floor.
"What should I do?" Sasuke asked.
"Go to my closet and go under the floorboard for my first aid kit," Naruto said.
"I have a better idea because they're going to have to see you again because it was obvious from the smell of the wound that it slowly induces you. Why don't you pass the pain to me? I can handle it better," Sasuke said holding out his hands.
"How? It's the same silver... I use it all the time. It's the same," Naruto said panting.
"Listen to me, we will figure out why later but right now we need to make it seem like you're okay so you can shower really quick. Trust me I will be okay," Sasuke said cutting himself with a regular blade making him cringe.
"No, you might get sick," Naruto said.
"Shut up and do as I say," Sasuke said grabbing his hands before Naruto could even pull away.
Naruto noticed what was happening and what would come out if Sasuke screamed right now so he went for the next best thing he could think of seeing as his hands were being held. He kissed Sasuke shocking Sasuke but it oddly calmed him down. When Sasuke bit Naruto on his lip Naruto pulled back. Sasuke started to fall and that made Naruto catch him and put him on the couch.
"Are you okay?" Naruto asked noticing the cut didn't feel bad anymore.
"I will be, no silver is inside its just... need sleep," Sasuke said.
"Sasuke you have no idea how dangerous what you just did is," Naruto said worriedly and possibly the most worried he has ever been.
"Don't worry so much you'll get wrinkles," Sasuke said with a warm smile that made Naruto's heart jump in his chest.
"Damn it you little idiot," Naruto growled eyes flashing red.
"No worry," Sasuke said his eyes closing.
Naruto growled at Sasuke but checked his hands quickly which was already healed making him look at Sasuke's hands seeing the silver on his hand making Naruto worried. He had to call Itachi and make him go to Kurama's apartment.
Naruto couldn't help but rub his head on the crook of Sasuke's neck putting his scent on him. He was worried about him and he needed to make sure he was okay. Naruto got his clothes and towel quickly and ran to the shower getting in and out so fast no one even had the chance to go in his room like they wanted to.
Naruto got back in his room getting dressed not caring Sasuke was there and possibly awake he just needed to move fast. He didn't even realize he was moving that fast until Karin walked into the room and seen him moving like he was the flash.
"Naruto," Karin called out only to get pushed to the wall. "Calm down," Karin said worriedly.
"Sorry," Naruto said pulling back away from his sister.
"What the hell was that?" Karin asked talking about out in the kitchen.
"I am sorry I didn't mean too I am just nervous right now," Naruto said.
"No Naruto I don't care about that what I am asking is what the hell was that in the kitchen?" Karin asked shaking her head following him.
"I don't know but when I find out I will tell you," Naruto said as he started packing a bag.
"What are you doing?" Karin asked.
"I am going to Kurama's for a while I don't want to be around scrutiny while I am here," Naruto said as he picked up Sasuke putting him out the window.
"What are you doing to him?" Karin asked.
"He's sleeping and I don't want them to see him," Naruto said.
"Is he?" Karin asked.
"No, he let me drive his car but he had to come and while I was in the shower, he fell asleep but I don't want them starting problems for him." Naruto lied.
"Okay well call me okay?" Karin said leaving the room.
Sasuke bit Naruto's hand gently making Naruto growl slightly. Sasuke whined and was starting to change.
"Stay there Sasuke," Naruto said as he ran out of the house without saying anything to anyone.
Before he got out the door he ran back to his room and grabbed the blade he was sliced with and took off to the side of his window as a big wolf was standing there whining and looking like he was in a daze.
"Sasuke you have to change back," Naruto said his eyes turning bright red.
Naruto heard someone coming out of the house but he moved to his mate so quick that no one even noticed him. He changed in his wolf form so he could talk to Sasuke.
'Change back now,' Naruto demanded.
Sasuke didn't even make it a step forward before he fell over and was in his human form. Naruto was worried because it looked like the silver was spreading. Naruto picked Sasuke back up and ran to the car while dodging everyone that was outside the house. He was perfect at it without trying to be.
He drove so quickly to Kurama's apartment but turned back around the moment he realized Kurama wasn't alone and that Kokuo was there making him drive fast away from the apartment and went straight onto the property of the Uchiha.
Itachi was the first one outside the house smelling Naruto and that something was wrong.
"Naruto what happened?" Itachi asked worried but Naruto didn't respond with too much worry.
"Itachi what's going on?" Madara asked as the blonde came into the house.
Naruto growled at him and he didn't even know why but he didn't like him.
"Naru," Sasuke mumbled reaching for his neck.
"What can I do to help him?" Naruto asked looking up at Fugaku and Mikoto who were shocked out of their seats.
"Naruto what happened?" Itachi asked again.
"I went to my brother's last night and for some reason when I got back home in the morning, they told me someone called my home with a source that I was a werewolf. So, I had to slice my hand with this blade and when I started to feel effects from the blade Sasuke took my hands and took the pain away completely. I didn't know what he did and the effects took over him immediately." Naruto said speaking super-fast they could hardly keep up. "Now what I want to know is how can I save him?" Naruto asked worry filling his face.
Itachi moved quickly and started looking at the wounds only to get growled at.
"Shut up I am helping him," Itachi snapped. "I already told you that if anything happens to my brother your brother would suffer," Itachi said as he checked his brother.
"I didn't do anything so don't add my brother if anything it was someone here," Naruto growled.
"No one would do that here," Itachi growled back.
"I don't know that and after trying to initiate me into the pack and my declining can you really blame me?" Naruto bristled.
"Itachi calms down," Shisui said as he came to the table.
"Who are you?" Naruto growled.
"Chill out young wolf I am a medic," Shisui said as he looked at the cut on Sasuke's hand.
"Can I do what he just did to me?" Naruto asked after realizing Shisui could help.
"Tell me what he did," Shisui asked.
"He grabbed my hands like he was sucking all the pain out of me," Naruto said looking at his hands. "Can I do what he did?" Naruto asked.
"I don't think so because I am not sure what exactly he did to you because you can't explain it very well," Shisui said honestly.
"Let me show you," Naruto said holding out his hands toward Shisui.
Shisui held his hands out for Naruto but he was slightly cautious but then he saw the sincerity in Naruto's eyes and moved right away toward him. This young wolf obviously wanted to help his cousin.
"What did he do?" Shisui asked.
Naruto grabbed his hands and then there was a warmth for a split-second making Naruto flinch.
"You were cut," Naruto said.
Shisui was shocked because he didn't mention that to everyone because he managed to act like it was Izumi in the other room.
"How?" Shisui asked.
"He wanted to show what Sasuke did to him and he more than likely did it without knowing," Itachi said.
"So, can I do it for Sasuke?" Naruto asked as Sasuke started to whine.
"We can try if you really think you will be okay," Shisui said.
Naruto didn't hesitate and the moment Sasuke felt Naruto near him he bit him again. Naruto rubbed his head in his neck to calm Sasuke down because he wanted to make him relax.
"Relax," Naruto said softly but every wolf in the house heard him.
Naruto took a hold of his hands and felt a surge of heat and pain in his body making him cringe but he didn't let go until he saw the color coming back into Sasuke. The moment it was done Naruto started to fall over and Itachi caught him just in time.
"Naruto?" Itachi said softly but his breathing was low and getting slower making Itachi pick him up and run to the medic room in the house leaving his little brother with Shisui.
Itachi quickly got Naruto hooked to an I.V. and he started to strap Naruto in so he couldn't struggle.
"I am so sorry for not believing you, I should have known better," Itachi said as he worked on scrapping the silver off Naruto's hand.
"ITACHI!" Sasuke screamed from the other room but couldn't get into the medic room. "LET ME IN!" Sasuke screamed pounding on the door.
"Sasuke calms down," Itachi said softly as he worked on Naruto.
Sasuke didn't calm down right away but Itachi heard Shisui start to calm Sasuke down which got better at least with the banging and yelling.
Naruto wouldn't stop moving but he kept working as he held the wolf down.
"You have to stop moving," Itachi growled putting more strength on holding Naruto down.
It took two hours for Itachi to get all the silver out of Naruto's system. It seemed that his family made a different kind of silver and it was way worse than usual. Itachi walked over to the door opening for Sasuke who was pacing back and forth in his wolf form.
"He is fine now. He saved your life and now I think you should let him go," Itachi said.
"I can't..." Sasuke said with sadness in his eyes.
"What does he mean by that?" Naruto asked a coldness in his eyes.
"Boy he means that Sasuke could break the bond if he really wants to," Madara chimed in happily.
"You lied to me," Naruto said starting to get up anger and hurt all over his face and eyes.
"N-," Sasuke started but realized there was nothing he could honestly say to him.
"YOU FUCKING LIED TO ME AGAIN!" Naruto growled.
Sasuke tried to move toward Naruto as Naruto ripped all the wires out of him and stood up wobbling a little bit as he moved. Sasuke tried to help him only to get slapped away from him.
"I don't need your fucking help. I tried and let you in but you lied to me again." Naruto growled his eyes were bright red and his claws were out. "Leave me the fuck alone," Naruto growled and pushed past all the other wolves in the house.
They tried to stop Naruto but he was a little bit too angry to be stopped at the moment and hurt them way worse than they could hurt him.
"Naruto," Sasuke called to him following him chasing him out the door.
Naruto grabbed his bag out the car and the blade his parents cut him with and started walking away from the house.
"Naruto stop," Sasuke said.
"FUCK you Sasuke, I protected you despite everything from my family. Not because of the bond we share as the wolf part of us. I protected you because we were starting something new and you spat all over it by lying to me at the point of the fresh start. I don't want anything to do with you," Naruto said.
"I'm sorry I just didn't want you to kill yourself the moment you found out we could be apart," Sasuke pleaded desperately.
"I DON'T CARE WHAT THE REASON WAS!" Naruto growled out turning away from Sasuke and walked without turning back this time.
Sasuke's heart hurt making him bite his lip. He tried his best not to follow but he couldn't help it and tried to move forward again but Itachi held him back.
"Let him cool off little brother," Itachi said.
"I should smack you, why did you even mention it?" Sasuke growled pushing his brother away from him.
"He needed to know Sasuke," Itachi said.
"No, he didn't, I was just getting to him," Sasuke said shaking his head sadly and walked back to the house without saying a thing.
Naruto walked all the way to his brother's apartment after an hour of walking because in all honesty he was sad about what happened just now but he was sure it was because of the bond. He just kept walking and didn't think anything of Sasuke. When he got to his brother's apartment Kokuo and Kurama were both there still and they sounded like they were having a good conversation. Naruto sat outside for a while before Kurama came outside.
"When are you going to come in?" Kurama asked sitting next to his little brother.
"I don't know how to feel. Sasuke lied to me," Naruto mumbled.
"I heard, Itachi told me what happened. How do you think I knew you were out here?" Kurama asked.
"They are a bunch of liars," Naruto said.
"Honestly I can't help but be happy they did lie about it," Kurama said.
"Why?" Naruto asked turning to look at his brother.
"Because I don't want to lose my little brother," Kurama said putting their foreheads together. "I will protect you from the world remember that's what I promised you after the vampire attack?" Kurama said.
"Yeah," Naruto mumbled his head feeling heavy.
"Just come inside and rest for the night and we can talk about what happened at the house before you left earlier," Kurama said and Naruto knew exactly what he was talking about.
Naruto looked at the sky and nodded his head after being out all day in a way he didn't expect he got up a little more worn out than necessary.
"I am just going to go and sleep if that's okay," Naruto said passing his brother.
"Naruto you're here I was wondering why he went..." Kokuo stopped when she saw his face full of sadness. "Kurama what's wrong with him?" Kokuo asked as the door shut.
"He is just going through something right now," Kurama said.
"Is it about the call your parents got earlier about him being a werewolf? Because I assure you Naruto passed with flying colors from what your mom said." Kokuo said shocking Kurama.
"They did what? What happened?" Kurama asked worried and scared.
"He passed they said he grabbed the knife fine and sliced his hand and he was fine afterward," Kokuo said.
"Why didn't anyone tell me anything?" Kurama asked.
"Maybe because they thought you wouldn't bring him home if you thought he was after the phone call we got," Kokuo said. "But honestly I thought you already knew about it," Kokuo said.
"Let's go to my parents' house really quick," Kurama snapped grabbing his coat.
Just as he was about to be out the door he thought of Naruto and went back to the room.
"Naruto I will be right back," Kurama said.
"No, don't go," Naruto mumbled with a whine.
Kurama's anger seemed to go away making him take his coat off and walk back to the living room.
"Never mind Ko," Kurama said making her look at him funny.
"Okay well I'm on another hunt tonight so I will be staying at your parents tonight," Kokuo said giving him a hug and leaving the apartment.
Kurama walked to the back and went to the bed by his brother who looked impossibly sad.
"Naruto?" Kurama called out gently.
"I don't want to be around anymore," Naruto said shocking Kurama and making him impossibly sad.
"You can't leave me behind," Kurama said.
"I don't want this," Naruto said sadly lifting up staring at his brother with tears in his eyes.
"I can't do this without you," Kurama said softly with tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry but I can't do this anymore. I will break the bond with him and then I will die." Naruto said.
"If you do, I will get bit and I will go join their pack," Kurama threatened.
"You won't," Naruto said eyes turning red.
"I will. I promise my life on it," Kurama said refusing to break eye contact with him.
"Fine," Naruto said. "I won't do anything," Naruto said surrendering laying back down.
Kurama was relieved and just laid down next to his brother but he didn't fall asleep even when his brother did. He was worried about Naruto he didn't know what happened at all today. Who the hell called his parents and said that shit? He was most definitely going to find out.
(Across Town)
"Sasuke you have to open the door eventually," Itachi said knocking softly even though Sasuke couldn't hear him.
Sasuke opened the door and looked more pissed than necessary.
"Can we talk?" Itachi asked.
Sasuke walked back into his room leaving the door open for him without saying anything.
"He went to Kurama's and he got there safely," Itachi said waiting for Sasuke to say something back and when he realized he wasn't going to he just continued. "I'm sorry little brother but we need to either initiate him into the pack or he needs the bond broke from you. We can't have you two connected like this," Itachi said.
"What changed your mind?" Sasuke growled.
"It was what happened today," Itachi said.
"Who called his parents?" Sasuke growled his eyes turning red.
"You have to calm down," Itachi said.
"Tell me who called his parents I know you know now tell me," Sasuke growled changing forms slowly.
"Sasuke calms down," Itachi said his eyes changing and his hands because he was starting to feel threatened by how Sasuke was acting.
"Tell me or I will give us all up," Sasuke threatened.
"This is exactly the reason we need to break your bond with Naruto. Do you not see what is happening to you because of him? He is pulling you toward him instead of your pack," Itachi said.
"He was already coming to me until someone chimed in with their unannounced two cents that weren't needed. I was okay with the rate me and him were going. The person who should be to blame is the person that called his parents," Sasuke growled turning into a wolf completely.
"Sasuke don't make things worse please," Itachi begged.
Sasuke shook his head and jumped out the second story window without hesitation and ran through the forest dodging all the hunters he smelled in the forest perfectly fine. When he got to the city part he changed into his human form and started running back to the apartment where he could smell Naruto. He jumped by the window where the room Naruto was in and climbed through the window.
"Get out," Kurama said with a gun to Sasuke's head.
Sasuke knocked the gun out of Kurama's hand and jumped toward Naruto. Naruto was fully alert and caught and pinned Sasuke to the bed.
"What are you doing here?" Naruto asked but didn't have any bite in his voice.
"I need to protect you," Sasuke whispered softly.
Kurama got his gun off the floor and walked out the room letting the two talk because it seemed that the two needed to.
"I'm sorry, I really am," Sasuke said rubbing his head in the crook of Naruto's neck.
Naruto tried to fight the urge but he couldn't and ended up rubbing on Sasuke back.
"Just sleep for the night," Naruto said as he rubbed on Sasuke more.
The two fell asleep without a problem after that. Kurama came inside the room and couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed by it because now he had to sleep on his couch or in his guest room. Or he could sleep on the floor so no one thinks anything bad if Kokuo happened to come back. Kurama walked back to his room and just got more blankets and laid down on the floor. As he was falling asleep, he heard someone at his door and started to get up and Sasuke was getting up to answer the door.
Kurama didn't move out of the room he just got on top of his bed with his younger brother who was open to sleeping next to him.
"What's going on? Are you okay?" Kurama asked.
"Aside from our family cutting me with this blade earlier," Naruto said getting off the bed showing the blade to his brother.
Kurama was shocked to see that Naruto was able to touch the silver blade.
"How? How are you doing that?" Kurama asked.
There was a loud crash in the living room area making both brothers get up.
"What are you two fighting about? Stop it," Kurama snapped.
Naruto walked in between the two pulling Sasuke away from Itachi. Itachi had a busted lip that was bleeding but it was healing.
"What is wrong with you two?" Kurama asked.
"He is trying to make me go back there when I know it was someone in the group that called your parents. They tried to hurt Naruto," Sasuke said before Itachi could even respond.
"You know who did that?" Kurama asked looking at his new friend.
"I don't know for sure I just have a guess and so do the both of you," Itachi said looking at both of them.
"Come inside my room we can talk there," Kurama said.
"I have to go back with my brother," Itachi said.
"I'm not going back," Sasuke said.
"Just stay and go back tomorrow when you both are calm," Kurama said softly putting his arm on Itachi making him relax.
"Fine you two," Itachi said looking away and then sitting on the couch.
"You two go to sleep while I talk to him," Kurama said.
"Fine," Naruto said and walked to the room pushing Sasuke toward the room.
"What is going on really?" Kurama asked when he heard the door shut.
"You know they can still hear you," Itachi said.
"I don't care, first I hear that my little brother got cut by my family because of some mysterious phone call that possibly came from your family. Now you two won't stop fighting," Kurama said.
"It's hard to explain... Sasuke blames me for Naruto knowing that they could break the connection." Itachi said.
"Was it you that told him?" Kurama asked standing up.
"Not necessarily but I knew he was going to be able to hear what the two of us were saying and then would question Sasuke about it," Itachi said.
Kurama didn't hesitate on punching Itachi in the face making Itachi growl and push Kurama into the wall.
"You stupid asshole you almost got my brother killed," Kurama accused glaring right at Itachi not looking away despite Itachi's eyes being red.
Itachi realized why Kurama was furious but he noticed the hint of hurt that Itachi actually felt bad for.
"I'm sorry but I couldn't help it. You don't know what happened at my house after your brother walked in the door," Itachi said pulling Kurama toward the door.
Itachi pulled him out of the house and into his car.
"When Naruto came in the house with Sasuke in his hands I was completely freaking out. I didn't know what was going on and I immediately thought that something happened with your family leading to them knowing what we are which really scared me into talking about the threat in the beginning. Naruto and I argued as I tried to help Sasuke but I couldn't focus. My cousin came to help and Naruto showed him what Sasuke did to him and took on Sasuke's injuries along with the ones my cousin had. It's hard to explain that part but then when he did that he fell over and almost died in my hands. I had to work on him for hours to get him back to breathing regularly. I was sorry for overreacting but I felt that he needed to know before it got them killed because at this point our family wants him to either cut the bond with Naruto or Naruto has to be initiated into the pack. Sasuke didn't take that to kindly considering they tried to force his hand so he ran away to the only place he knew would take him despite being mad at him." Itachi explained.
"Why don't you just tell them who called my parents?" Kurama asked.
"I can't if he is the one that did it, he's a pack member I can't betray my pack," Itachi said.
"But you won't even tell Sasuke?" Kurama said.
"Because at this very moment he isn't seeing this in a clear light. Naruto is clouding his judgment on how a pack is actually controlled. Their mating bond is stronger now because the two did get to know each other better and despite Sasuke betraying him Naruto still cares for Sasuke and can't let him go just like that." Itachi said.
"I get it but I think something should be done about your pack member he just tried to jeopardize Sasuke's mate's life there should be a penalty in that," Kurama said.
"And there will be I just need to get Sasuke back home," Itachi said.
"Just come inside for the night and then you two can leave in the morning," Kurama said grabbing Itachi's hand to pull him out the car.
"Are you sure you're okay with me going inside your apartment?" Itachi asked.
"Yeah it's fine now just come on," Kurama said as he got out the car and walked back to his apartment.
This was going to be troublesome Kurama could feel it. He really wanted to know who sold his brother out but it seems Itachi wasn't going to say anything no matter what. He was just going to have to figure it out himself.

Okay, everyone, the rift has come between the brothers. No one told Kurama about the call about Naruto and do you know why they didn't? There is now a rift with safety among the brothers. Sasuke doesn't want Naruto to die but he is also becoming quite hostile because of Naruto. The bond goes both ways and it's not just Naruto that feels what the bond does to them.
