Enjoy this chapter! It looks like I will be posting the next story after I finish this one. That's a good choice! Wouldn't want me to get too focused on one story and forget about another!

Sorry for not updating! I'm sorry.

OoOoOoOoOo

"Sasuke..." Naruto panted. "Please... I can't take it anymore!"

"You're going to have to get used to it..." Sasuke panted back. "It's going to happen quite often."

"Nngh..." Naruto grasped a deep cut on his arm, squeezing his eyes shut.

Sasuke probed him with the butt of his sword. "Pick your sword up. We aren't done yet."

Naruto shook his head, breathing heavily. "I don't know if I can..."

"Pick it up!" Sasuke demanded.

Naruto's eyes opened wide at Sasuke's tone. It actually scared him to see Sasuke angry. It was almost as terrifying as seeing him fight. He reached for his sword, picking it up with shaky arms. The sword was much too heavy for him.

Sasuke nodded, pointing the end of his sword at the shaking blond a few feet from him. "Ready?"

Naruto didn't trust his voice, knowing it would falter and squeak, and instead just nodded, swallowing the lump in his throat.

Sasuke's face went entirely blank and that's what scared him the most. He wanted to see Sasuke smile, to assure him that he wasn't going to hurt him. Seeing him blank-faced made him scared for his life. What if Sasuke forgot that it was him? What if he just stabbed him through the chest and didn't think twice about it?

Being distracted by his own thoughts, Naruto didn't notice Sasuke come charging towards him until he was facing the sky.

His mouth opened to let out a soft whiney noise, that surprised even himself, when a sharp sword pressed firmly against his neck. Sasuke held the sword with only one hand, showing off his strength to Naruto who could barely hold it with two hands. His other hand was holding Naruto's arm above his head, Naruto's sword lying limp in his hand.

Sasuke stared down at him, completely calm. Naruto's heart started beating faster and he didn't understand why.

"Blame it on him. He scared you." Naruto chanted in his mind.

When Sasuke still didn't move, Naruto slowly moved his free arm to grab the hand that was pressing the sword against his neck.

Sasuke didn't seem to understand what he was doing because his eyebrows became furrowed and he looked down at Naruto. He was about to move but faltered, staring into Naruto's eyes like he had been for the past 10 minutes. The blonde squirmed, getting nervous under the raven's gaze. He looked to the side, trying to find a way out of Sasuke's hold. The raven shifted, making the position of his legs on either side of Naruto's hips known.

Naruto stiffened and blushed madly when Sasuke leaned forward, their noses touching. Sasuke didn't stop leaning until their lips were pressed softly together. He kept his eyes open and Naruto just squeezed his shut. Sasuke kissed him again, rougher than before. When he came to realize what he did, he abruptly stood and ran away.

Naruto opened his eyes and looked around. "Sasuke?"

Despite his confusion, he wanted to confront Sasuke about this.

"He was just joking around, right?" Naruto asked himself aloud.

OoOoOoOoOo

Naruto hadn't seen Sasuke in days. Sure, they had practiced together a few times after the "incident" but Sasuke was always unfocused and wasn't paying attention. Sasuke didn't even talk to him. The raven would eat meals alone in his room and refused to leave. The only person he would let in was this strange white haired man whom Naruto did not know.

Nobody else knew about what happened other than Naruto and Sasuke but King Itachi kept giving him this weird look. That guy really creeped him out, King or not.

"Naruto, do you think Sasuke will come out yet? I miss him so much!" Sakura said. "What happened to him anyway?"

Kiba shrugged. "Maybe he got upset because Naruto sucks ass at sword fighting."

"Like you can do any better!" Naruto yelled.

"I can beat you any day!" Kiba jumped from his seat, holding his fist up.

"It's hard to believe you two are best friends." Itachi said as he approached, arms folded elegantly behind his back.

"How did you know we were best friends?" Kiba asked.

Itachi chuckled. "Would you like to come to a party we are throwing for the return of my baby brother?"

"You didn't answer my question..." Kiba mumbled.

Naruto almost wanted to laugh at the baby brother part. Sasuke wasn't much of a baby in his mind... Or maybe he was. He did run away after he kissed him. That is kind of childish and wimpy of him... "What kind of party?"

Itachi smiled at him. "I'm sure you will enjoy it plenty. Please, though, stay out of the adult area. Unless you are ok with the... Sights..." He trailed off. "If you would like to 'participate', please remember that you have to clean up after yourselves. There will be plenty to drink but try not to throw up on the floor."

Kiba grinned. "This is going to be a wicked party!"

Sakura blushed. "Why do they have parties like that?"

"The people in my kingdom run on sex, pretty much."

The three at the table gaped, surprised both by his answer and ability to answer it with a straight face.

"Well, you three enjoy your food. I must check on Sasuke." Itachi said, waving and walking away.

Seeing his chance, Naruto jumped up, rushing up to him. "Do you mind if I come with?" He asked.

Itachi smirked, nodding. "May I ask why you are so excited about going to see my brother? Did something happen between you two?" Itachi's expression suddenly became serious. "Is that why he's been in his room for the past few days?"

Naruto searched his mind for any type of excuse. He didn't want to tell Itachi about the whole "kiss" thing. "He must just be... tired or something." He lied.

Itachi didn't seem to believe him but he didn't push the subject. They walked in silence down the long stone hallway until reaching the only doorway in the hallway. Naruto listened intently for any noises coming from behind the door but he heard nothing until a large crash sounded from inside. Itachi almost seemed startled at the sudden noise but quickly covered it up.

"If you aren't going to be help to me, get the fuck out of my castle!" Sasuke roared. A loud laugh was heard soon after before a window flew open and Sasuke sighed, almost sounding relieved.

Itachi cleared his throat, knocking quite loudly on the door. When no answer came, not even movement, Itachi knocked again. "Sasuke, it's your brother. Open the door, please."

As he was about to knock once more, the door flew open; revealing a very pissed off looking Uchiha. "What do you want?" Sasuke growled, trying to ignore the blond standing next to his brother. He was almost tempted to close the door on them.

"I just came to check on you, little brother. You have been all alone this whole time and I'm worried that you might be lonely. Naruto here thought the same thing so here we are, ready to keep you company." Itachi smiled at him innocently.

Sasuke glared at him, his mouth forming down into an even greater frown. "Oh, come on now, Sasuke. You look much better when you smile. I'm sure Naruto will agree with that."

Naruto blushed slightly, looking to the floor and hoping Sasuke didn't notice when he glanced at him. Sasuke's eyes softened when he looked at him and Itachi smiled even wider, the smile turning into more of a smirk. Sasuke shook his head, focusing back on his brother, his eyes narrowing once more.

"I don't need company. You can leave now." He said. Itachi just shrugged, grabbing Naruto's shoulders and leading him back down the hallway. Sasuke watched, grabbing the side of the wall tightly, anger surging through him.

OoOoOoOoOo

"I'm happy you decided to join us, Sasuke. Please, have a seat." Itachi said, tapping the chair in front of him. Sasuke sat quickly, crossing his arms.

"What do you want?"

Itachi raised an eyebrow. "Well, you're the one who came to my room. I would assume that you wanted something."

"I was just looking for…" Sasuke trailed off, not wanting to say what his brother already knew.

Itachi smiled at him. "Did something happen between you two? You seem… off… around him."

Sasuke frowned. "Nothing happened. I just don't want to deal with the stress of teaching him right now."

Itachi nodded. "Right, I believe you."

"It's the truth!"

"I know it is, I understand. Are you sure nothing happened? I know you, Sasuke. You can be a bit bold at times."

Sasuke stood abruptly, grabbing the collar to his brother's shirt. "Shut up! You don't know anything!"

When the guards tensed up, pointing spears at Sasuke, Itachi signaled for them to relax. He stared confidently into his brother's eyes. "Get off of me Sasuke."

His eye's widened when he saw what he was going to do. His left hand was holding his brother's shirt tightly and his other hand was held back, ready to punch him.

Sasuke pulled back immediately, walking out of the room before his brother could say anything. He already knew what he was going to tell him. He rushed to the nearest table, grabbing the first drink he saw and chugging it. Maybe getting drunk wouldn't be too bad for once.

OoOoOoOoOo

Naruto wandered aimlessly around the building, trying to find his friends. It was much darker than usual in the palace and he was trying to avoid seeing people have sex in the middle of the room. He wasn't exactly comfortable seeing naked people everywhere. Thinking about Sasuke having sex with Sakura made him upset.

Putting it off that he wanted Sakura for himself, he continued with his search, turning corners quickly when disturbing sights were present in the room.

As he walked down the longest hallway, happy that it was empty, he was suddenly pushed against the wall. Thinking it was one of the drunken people trying to get with him again, Naruto immediately pushed the person away from him.

The person pushed back, though, and held him firmly against the wall. Naruto struggled to look at the person, surprised when he saw it was the same raven he had been trying to find all day (not that he would ever admit that).

"Sasuke, what are you…?"

He was cut off when warm lips were suddenly pressed against his, running down his jaw to his neck. His breath caught in his throat and he had to force himself to speak. "Sasuke, you're drunk… you need to stop…"

He didn't listen to him, just continued with his kisses, biting down softly on Naruto's neck. When the blonde struggled against him, Sasuke just held his wrists tighter above his head. Naruto felt his face burning, and hoped desperately that someone would come and help him. This was just too embarrassing for him.

Thinking it couldn't get any worse, Naruto was proven wrong when Sasuke transferred his hands to be held down by just his right hand. The left hand trailed down his body until it rested on his hip, rubbing at the skin that was now showing from his arms being lifted. He licked his cheek, kissing Naruto once again.

"Sasuke…" He whined.

OoOoOoOoOo

"Hey, you're King Itachi, right? Sasuke's brother?" Kiba asked as he entered the chambers.

The dark haired man sitting in a comfortable chair nodded, sipping once more at his wine. "Please, sit down and tell me what you need." Itachi said.

Kiba nodded, taking a seat in front of him. He tried to relax but he didn't really know this guy. "I just wanted to… uh… ask about Sasuke. You said he did something bad, right? Can you tell me about it?"

Itachi sighed, resting his goblet on the side table next to him. "The only reason I will tell you this is for your own protection, along with your friend Sakura. And Naruto's protection, which is probably in the most danger. You're much stronger than him, am I right?"

Kiba nodded. "I am stronger than him. Naruto was always a lot weaker than me."

"That's what I thought. My brother was always quite… violent. He had a difficult time controlling his anger and would often get into fights. That's one reason why we were planning on finding someone else to be king after me instead of Sasuke. He was a quiet child, though, so nobody really knew about it. He used to be so sweet and caring… he was a very nice child. But after our parents died, he became very distant and unhappy."

"So, he became really angry after your parents passed away?" Kiba asked.

"Yes, it was hard for both of us but I was much more mature than him at the time. He started getting into fights with many people and even with me. He tended to get quite physical, especially after he started training. He's a very capable warrior but he's certainly hard to control. You see, Sasuke likes to be in charge, likes to be the leader. But the problem with that is, he doesn't like to have other people in his way. If you are stronger or weaker, he would usually want you gone and out of his way. But anyway, we got into a huge fight over him being so angry all the time. He injured a few of the guards and other people in the castle and fled. I had no idea where he went until I heard about him being captured by Tsunade…"

"What did he do?"

Itachi stood, pacing around the room. "What my brother had found out during our argument was that our parents had been killed by warriors in that empire, which is why we are at war today. He was blind with rage. He… killed so many people, citizens or warriors, innocent or guilty, sinners or saints, children or adults."

"Your brother is a murderer?! That's why he was going to be executed?!"

"He turned himself into a fighting machine, an unbeatable force. I would have invited him to fight in the wars but I was too afraid he would kill our own people…"

OoOoOoOoOo

A/N: Oooh, what do you think about that? Pretty crazy, right? Longer chapter for being late. This one would have been two separate chapters but I felt that I owed you a longer chapter.
