Kyaa! Gomennasai, everyone! I didn't update for five days! Kyaa! Sorry to make everyone waiting! Anyway, I just want to tell this to a reviewer, but I forget your name. Gomen... Yeah, I just want to tell that I'd never ever studied Japanese. I only use the romaji which I found in other stories. That's it! Woot!

Deidara: Finally, you're back! Un! I miss you, Koneko-chan! Un!

Koneko: I miss you too, Dei-chan! (hugs Deidara)

Sasori: (frowns) Oi, oi, watch it...

Koneko: Oops! Gomen, Saso-kun!

Sasori: Whatever...

Hehe! Yosh! Here's the next chappy! And a little bit of surprise inside! Woot!

Warning: Yaoiness ahead! Don't like it, go away! Shoo! The others, please stay and enjoy the story! Contains OOCness too.

Pairings: SasuNaru, KakaIru, probably ShinoKiba, ItaNaru

Disclaimer: I would be the happiest person in the world if Naruto's mine...but sadly, he's not...


Conduct 9: Uzumaki Tsubasa

"Go to the discipline room! The three of you, now!" the redhead ordered.

"Let go of me, Tsubasa!" Sai growled. "I can walk on my own!"

'An armband...the head boy?' Sasuke wondered, looking at the armband around Tsubasa's right arm.

Naruto walked towards the spectacled guy. "Tsubasa, you can let go of Sasuke..."

"...whatever..."

He let go of the raven's arm and led the three of them to the discipline room. When they reached the room, he asked Naruto and Sasuke to wait in the room. Then, he took Sai to the emergency room in the school. At the discipline room, the raven was looking outside the window, holding his bruised cheek. The blond, meanwhile, stared at the floor underneath his feet.

'Why is my chest throbbing? It's so painful... Is it because of what Sasuke said earlier?' he thought sadly. 'Sasuke, do you think it's really stupid if a guy loves another guy? Do you think I'm stupid? Sasuke?'

"Oi, dobe!"

"Huh?"

"What were you thinking about?" the raven cocked his brow. "I've been calling you for sometime now."

He looked away. "Uhh...gomen..."

"What's the matter, Naruto?" the Uchiha asked, taking his seat beside the kitsune.

"No...nothing..." he tried to change the subject, touching the pale cheek softly. "How's your cheek, Sasuke?"

Sasuke smirked. "It'll be better after a day or two, don't worry..."

"Um...sorry to have troubled you today..."

"Nah..."

Suddenly, the door swung open and Tsubasa entered the room casually. Then, he looked at his juniors. He cocked his brow, taking his seat in front of them. Naruto blushed slightly, letting go of Sasuke's cheek and looking back at the carpeted floor. The Uchiha, on the other hand, stared off into space, not interested with the spectacled guy.

"What is it this time, Naruto?" the redhead started. "Including today, it's been ten times since you got involved with fighting all around school this year."

"It's not his fault. I started it..."

Tsubasa turned towards Sasuke. "Oh, you want to back him up?"

"..."

"You're a new student, aren't you? I've heard about you. Uchiha Sasuke, isn't it? The second son of the Uchiha clan's chairman. Only a few days here and you're already showing your true colours? Heh, you're trying to show that you're the son of a Yakuza, eh? Listen kid, here's not the place for showing off... Or are you trying to show off your power to Naruto?"

"..."

"Tsubasa..."

"You like Naruto, don't ya? The hottest blond in this school...you know, almost everyone's after him..."

"Nii-chan!"

"Huh?" Sasuke turned towards the kitsune. "Nii-chan?"

The redhead grinned and sat back at his seat. "Finally, the cat's out of the bag! I thought you won't call me that again, Naruto..."

"Shut up, Tsubasa!" Naruto blushed.

"Aww, come on now! No matter what, we're still brothers, right?" he got off his chair and walked to the blond, ruffling his hair.

"Not by blood! Argh, let go of me, Tsubasa!"

'Brothers? Am I hearing things?' Sasuke cocked his brow.

"Really! You're so annoying, Tsubasa!" Naruto puffed his cheeks and turned towards the raven. "Sasuke? Daijoubu? Sasuke?"

The redhead grinned again. "Pinch his bruised cheek."

"Huh?"

"Do it, or I'll do it for you..."

He scowled. "Fine, I'll do it! But don't you dare touch him!"

Then, the blond lightly put his thumb and index finger on the bruised cheek. He gulped, pressing the fingers onto the bruise. Finally, he pulled it, making the raven yelled in pain. He immediately let go of the muscle and apologised frantically. Meanwhile, Tsubasa was laughing his head off on the floor, rolling across it as he laughed gleefully.

"Hahaha! That was so funny! Kami, you should look at your reaction, Sasuke! Hahaha!"

"The heck?!" the raven frowned, holding his aching cheek.

"Gomennasai, Sasuke!" Naruto apologised. "Tusbasa told me to do it. I'm really sorry!"

"Whatever...can someone just explain to me what's the relationship between the two of you right now?!"

"..."

"You mean...you don't know?" Tsubasa asked.

"If I know, will I ask?"

Naruto grinned sheepishly. "Well, actually..."

"It's like this," the redhead interrupted. "I am Naruto's stepbrother. When I was five months old, my father died in a terrible accident. My mother married again with Uzumaki Minato. So, we changed our surname into Uzumaki following my new father's surname. My mother was Uzumaki Kushina and I was Uzumaki Tsubasa. After a year, I got a brother...by the name of Uzumaki Naruto!" he grinned, ruffling the blond's hair again.

"Stop it, Tsubasa!"

"..." 'They aren't truly related...but they looked very happy together...'

End of chapter nine! Yee, you know what, this chapter is weird, so weird. I mean, it kept on twisting and I couldn't get to the main point. So, at last, I just turned it back and made it a little confusing! Hehe! Woot!

Deidara: I don't understand it...

Koneko: Me neither! (grins)

Sasori: If you don't understand it, why are you grinning like an idiot?

Koneko: Because I want to! (grins wider)

Sasori: You're an idiot...

Hehe! Hope you enjoyed it! Please review, kindly! No flaming, okay? Woot! Ja ne!
