Chapter 14…

The New Prince

Sasuke let out a low groan when the shrill ring of the phone snapped him awake. Reluctantly moving away from Naruto's warm form, he plucked his cell phone off the table and answered.

"What?" Sasuke growled moodily. He was not by any means a morning person. There was a sigh on the other line as the person spoke.

"We need you down at the school in the next twenty minutes," Sakura said, sounding just as tired as he felt. "Itachi wants to do the photo-shoot as soon as possible."

"Why?"

"I don't know," Sakura groaned. " Apparently he's booked some hot shot photographer and I guess this is the only day the guy can do it."

"Fine."

He hung up before Sakura could say anything more. Leaning down, he kissed Naruto's lips to wake him up.

"Come on dobe, Sakura wants us to come to school for the photo-shoot."

"Wha' time is it?" Naruto mumbled sleepily. Sasuke stared at the green digits of his alarm clock.

"Five thirty a.m, saturday." He slowly peeled away the covers and stood. Naruto followed suite but his feet got tangled in the covers and he ending falling with a heavy 'thud' onto the ground.

"You okay?" Sasuke asked amused. Naruto groaned but gave Sasuke a thumbs up. Smirking, Sasuke made his way to the bathroom to take a shower.

"Mm' goin' ta murder Sak'ra," Naruto murmured sitting up right.


Exactly twenty minutes later, Sasuke and Naruto arrived at the school. Everyone was already there helping set up.

Naruto yawned, his vision momentarily blurring from the moisture in his eyes. He blinked slowly, taking in the redecorated Bishonen room. All the furniture had been removed for the photo shoot.

The room was bare except for the white table covered with food and drinks as well as various snacks. There were large lamps set up around a small area that looked like had been covered by two white sheets. One was propped up on a screen while the other lay in front of it.

"It should be a crime to be up at this un-godly hour,"Ten-ten murmured as she snatched a banana muffin.

"The photographer will be here in a few minutes," Sasuke commented dryly, handing Naruto a plastic cup filled with warm liquid. Naruto eyed the cup suspiciously. He sniffed it than looked back up at Sasuke, his eyebrows knitting together.

"Its coffee," Sasuke said. When Naruto continued to stare blankly at him he elaborated, "You drink it."

Nodding slowly, the blond took a tiny sip, cringing from the bitter taste before taking a longer swig. As he continued to drink, he slowly felt his body coming back to life.

As Naruto finished off the last few drops the door to the room opened and Itachi walked in, looking chic in fashionable black slacks and a silky blue button up shirt with the top two buttons left undone. He was followed closely by Deidara and another man the group had never seen before.

"Everyone," Itachi began clasping his hands behind his back. "This is Kabuto." Itachi motioned to the silver haired man with black rimed spectacles. "I expect all of you to treat him kindly and listen to everything he says."

Itachi gave Kabuto a curt nod before walking off to speak with Hinata, who stood by arranging some lights.

"May I please get all the Bishonen lined up together?" Kabuto asked. Neji, Sasuke, Naruto and Gaara lined up in that order. Kabuto gave them all a calculating gaze.

"Hmmm…" Kabuto mused. "Those two."

Kabuto pointed to Naruto then Gaara. Sasuke looked as if he were about to say something but he simply gave an uncaring shrug and went to help Sakura bring in the rest of the camera equipment. Neji glanced at Gaara before also walking away.

"Now," Kabuto began pushing up his spectacles with his forefinger. "I want you to do a lovers embrace. Nothing lustful or out of taste keep it strictly PG." Gaara gave a slight nod while Naruto licked his lips nervously. "Show me love and trust. Convince your audience."

After that, Sai appeared out of nowhere and hauled Gaara and Naruto off to do their makeup and give them their clothes.


As Naruto and Gaara stepped back into the room everyone grew silent. Naruto blushed. He supposed it had something to do with what they wore.

Naruto had been stripped of his shirt and was only wearing form fitting black leather pants. He also wore a black chocker, and his nails had been pained black. All traces of gel had been washed out of his hair and they had blow dried it to the point where it was long silky strands of gold that fell to his shoulders.

Sai had applied a tiny amount of lip-gloss to make his lips shine as well as applying some mascara to his blond lashes to make them darker, making his blue eyes pop out even more.

Gaara was also wearing all black. He wore loose fitting slacks and a long silky black button down shirt that had been left open to show off his sculpted chest. His hair had been gelled and tossed into spikes. They had applied little make-up on him, a touch of foundation to even out his skin.

"You guys look fucking hot!" Hidan shouted from his corner. In his lap, Ino giggled and gave them both a warm smile. Sasuke couldn't stop staring at Naruto, he hoped he wasn't drooling. He tried to fight the anger that licked him raw when Gaara placed a hand on the small of Naruto's back to lead him away.

They both walked onto the set where Kabuto was waiting for them. He gave them an approving once over and motioned for them to go ahead.

Naruto stiffened as he felt Gaara move behind him. The red head wound his arm around Naruto until his entire arm covered the blond's sculpted stomach. Suddenly Naruto became very aware of all the eyes watching him.

He expected the bright lights to burn his retinas but all they did was warm his skin. It felt good in a way but it didn't take away his nervousness. Kabuto moved closer, lifting a giant white digital camera. The blond froze. What was he supposed to do? Was he supposed to smile?

'click'

'click'

Kabuto lowered the camera, giving Naruto a critical look.

"Just relax," Gaara whispered. Naruto nodded rapidly, taking three deep breaths.

"Naruto-kun, convincingly now," Kabuto chided lifting the large camera to his face. Naruto took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He ignored everyone in the room, letting his mind glaze over.

'click'

Naruto parted his mouth, letting his eyes softened. An image of Sasuke flickering through his mind.

'click'

'click'

He imagined it was Sasuke's warm breath tickled his neck and that it was Sasuke's strong arms that wound protectively around his stomach. Letting all the stiffness escape his form, Naruto leaned against the warm broad chest, hooking his arm to the back of Gaara's head. Surprised, Gaara lowered his head until it rested in the crook of Naruto's shoulder.

'click'

'click'

'click'

Kabuto smirked. "Fantastic, but we aren't there yet."

Naruto let out a yelp of surprised when Gaara flipped him around into a tight embrace. For a second he froze but then relaxed into the hug. He rested his head against Gaara's bare chest, enjoying the feel of the warm hands resting on his lower back. Gaara faced the camera, making his eyes harden into a possessive look. For a second there Sasuke was convinced it was real. His eyes connected with Neji's.

'click'

'click'

'click'

Gaara's arms moved over Naruto's form and came to rest on his cheeks. Cupping the blond's cheeks he moved his face closer until there faces where inches apart. He heard a low menacing growl somewhere off to his right.

'click'

"That's it, perfect. Part you're mouth a bit. Ahh that's it."

'click'

'click'

"Sasuke no! You can't! There in the middle of shooting!" Sakura shouted moving to hold Sasuke back. Gaara couldn't help but smirk.

'click'

'click'

'click'

"Perfect." Kabuto turned to the other occupants of the room. "If I can please have the two remaining Bishonen get ready that would be great."

The room suddenly came back to life. Sai grabbed Sasuke and Neji by the wrist and disappeared. Hinata turned the music down, Sakura went to have a quick word with Naruto and Gaara, Ten-ten hurriedly helped Kabuto replace his camera and lens, and Ino got him a drink.


The photo shoot finished around one o' clock that afternoon. As everyone got ready to go home, Deidara walked in with an uncharacteristic grin on his face.

"I'd like to make an announcement everyone!" Deidara shouted. Everyone stopped everything to look curiously at the happy cross-dresser. "We would like to announce that we are adding a new member to the Bishonen Princes."

There was a low murmur as everyone craned there necks to get a look at the new Prince. Naruto who stood next to Sasuke chattering away about something or other turned to give the room a curious gaze. Why had everyone suddenly gone quiet

"Everyone, I'd like you to meet Kyuubi," Itachi said calmly.

The entire room grew silent. Most of them thought they were seeing a second Naruto dressed in all black, with a black hoody and black jeans and converses with black hair.

"No."

Everyone turned to look at Naruto. The blond was standing with his eyes wide with disbelief and something else. Something that made Sasuke's breath catch and wonder what exactly Kyuubi did to Naruto to make Naruto's blue eyes reflect…fear.

"Naruto?" Deidara questioned worriedly. Naruto continued to stare at his brother and looking as if he wanted to bolt straight out of there.

Naruto pushed past everyone and stormed out of the room with Sasuke hot on his heel. Gaara quickly got up to follow but someone stepped in front of him before he could reach the door.

"Hyuuga."

"Don't you think you should be getting changed?" Neji asked lifting up a well groomed eyebrow. Gaara's eyes flickered beyond Neji's shoulder and watched as Sasuke quickly caught up to Naruto and whirled him around. They were too far for him to hear but he could see Naruto's distressed expression.

"What are you trying to prove?" Gaara asked his eyes reconnecting with Neji's haunting lilac orbs.

"Naruto can take care of himself," Neji said calmly. "If he needs comfort, Sasuke can provide it."

Over Neji's shoulder Gaara watched Naruto's face.


"Hey sweetheart!"

A short pause.

"Oh. Well of course it would be alright."

Kushina bit her lower lip.

"Can I ask why Naruto?"

There was another pause, this time much longer.

"I see."

A low sigh.

"We'll see you Sunday afternoon then."

Silence.

"I love you too. Bye."
