Chapter 13: Meet Itachi

By Saturday afternoon, Sasuke was starting to feel comfortable again. "Hey," Naruto said as he walked into her room.

"What's up?" she asked.

"Kiba called, some of the guys are hanging out at his house, and so I wanted to know if you want to come?" he asked.

"No that's okay, I'm going to stay here, it's still a little weird around Kiba," Sasuke said.

Naruto looked at her, "Are you okay?"

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Ever since you heard your brother's name on TV, you haven't been acting the same," he explained as he sat next to Sasuke.

"I'm fine, I just needed some time," she said.

"You'll tell me if not right?" he asked.

"Right," she said.

"Okay, if you change your mind, just call me, you can always meet us at Kiba's house," he said.

"Naruto, I'm a big girl, you don't have to baby me," she said.

"I know, but I don't want you to be keeping things from me," he said.

"Don't worry, Naruto, if something is going on, I'll tell you," she said.

"Alright," he smiled. "Maybe we can do something tonight?"

"Pizza and a movie?" she said.

"That sounds great," he said with a smile.

She gave a small smile and said, "Good, have fun."

"I'll see you later." Naruto quickly gave Sasuke a kiss before leaving.

Naruto started walking down the street. He felt as if someone was watching him, but tried to ignore it and keep walking. He couldn't ignore it though, when there were footsteps behind him. The bond turned around to be face to face with what appeared to be an older male version of Sasuke. His eyes widened, as he knew it was Itachi.

"Naruto Uzumaki," Itachi said.

"Itachi Uchiha," Naruto said.

"So, you've heard of me," Itachi said.

"Unfortunately," Naruto glared. "What do you want?"

"Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you," the older man said calmly.

"Then why are you here?" the blond asked.

"I see that you are getting close to my sister," he said.

"What are you spying on her?" Naruto asked.

"That is none of your business," Itachi said.

"Just answer the question of why you are here," Naruto said.

"I'm here to tell you what I will do, if you break her heart," Itachi said.

Naruto was stunned, "Excuse me?"

"I will kill you if you break her heart," Itachi said. "Do I have to repeat myself?"

"Why would you care, do you even have any idea what you've done to her?" Naruto asked.

"Which is why neither you nor any man should be able to hurt her," he said.

"Are you crazy?" he asked.

"What are your intentions with her?" Itachi asked.

"To be her boyfriend," Naruto said. "To take care of her."

Itachi was silent for a moment, "If I find out there are other motives, I will hurt you."

"Like what other motives?" he asked.

"Like if you are just using her to try to get her to have sex with you," he said.

"I would never do that to her, unlike you I don't manipulate people's feelings," Naruto said.

Itachi remained passive as he said, "Don't tell Sasuke that you saw me." Before Naruto could say anything, Itachi was gone.

When Naruto got home, he saw Kakashi sitting alone in the kitchen. Before going to talk to Sasuke, he decided that it would be best to talk to him.

"Kakashi, can I talk to you about something?" he asked.

"What is it?" Kakashi asked as he looked up from the book he had been reading at the counter.

"I met someone today, someone I don't think Sasuke ever wanted me to meet," Naruto said as he sat next to the older man.

"Who would that be?" Kakashi asked, obviously curious.

"Itachi," Naruto said as he looked to see Kakashi's reaction.

"And you're still alive?" Kakashi asked.

Naruto frowned as he looked at him, "He said he'd kill me if I hurt Sasuke."

"In his own mind, everyone he's killed that's been close to her has been in her own interest," Kakashi said.

"He told me not to tell her that I saw him," Naruto said.

"Do you really think that is best?" Kakashi asked.

"I don't know, I don't want her to pull away from me because of it," he said.

"She might," Kakashi said.

"I just need to think about it, but I thought I should tell you," he said as he got up.

"If you don't tell her and she finds out, she'll be mad," Kakashi said.

"Thanks Kakashi," Naruto said.

Sasuke and Naruto sat on the couch in front of the TV with the pizza box on the coffee table. Naruto had his arm around Sasuke's shoulders and they were watching Silence of the Lambs. Neither of them were really fans of chick flicks so Sasuke put in one of the few movies she and Kakashi had bought over the years.

Naruto was trying to push the thoughts of what happened with Itachi that morning out of his mind. However, Sasuke could obviously sense his discomfort. "Are you okay?" she asked.

"What, of course, why do you ask?" he asked, though he obviously wasn't.

"You seem uncomfortable," she said.

"Oh, I was just thinking about something Kiba said," he lied. "It was a little weird."

"Oh, and what would that be?" she asked.

"He told me not to say," Naruto said.

She looked at him, "Oh really?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing bad," he said.

"Right, if you say so," Sasuke said.

"You told me to trust you, now you have to trust me," Naruto said.

Sasuke paused, "You're right. I'm sorry and I do trust you."

Naruto and Sasuke kissed, though she couldn't shake the feeling that he was hiding something.
