"Naruto-kun? Are you alright? I'll leave if you need time to be alone," Sai called from outside. Hearing no sound he entered the house from the backyard and moved carefully towards the room he knew Naruto was taking temporary sanctuary in. He knocked the door three times before calling Naruto again.

"Naruto-kun, are you asleep?" No answer came from within. He contemplated leaving the house and leave Naruto to think… Naruto might do something bad if I leave, Sai thought worriedly. "If you want company after you've calmed down I'll be in the living room or the kitchen making something to eat." Sai said before leaving for the living room.

Halfway he turned around and head for the kitchen instead. Better fix himself something to eat before watching a movie or something in the living room. He didn't want to be dead bored as he was when they were assigned to protect the young couple in Whirlpool country anymore. He hated not having a television.

Sai streamed the programs available before popping a DVD in the player. The couple didn't have much but the ones available were very interesting movies. He knew instantly that it was Naruto's pick. Mind you they were all animations. Sai rolled his eyes when he first saw the meager collection.

He was watching the idiot main character entered the room filled with bad guys along with all his companions wearing ties and coats and blazers, they looked freaking cool, when a blob of blond lock lurked somewhere at the edges of his eyes but he ignored him. He was preoccupied by the handsome men and the somewhat pretty lady following them. The other lady was dying outside.

"Why did you pick this movie?" Naruto asked lurking at the corner.

"Coz this one looks the most interesting," Sai said not taking his eyes away from the dumb box. They watched the screen silently till the part where the whole gang started beating up the bad guys. Then Sai broke the silence. "Are you feeling better?" he asked.

"No."

"Okay." And they watched till the movie ended. Then did Sai fully turn his attention to the unusually quiet blond. "Are you okay now?" he asked. Naruto stared at him a minute longer and nodded twice. "What are you thinking right now?" Naruto shrugged. "You still sad?" Naruto shrugged again. Sai sighed. "You hungry?" Naruto nodded. Finally! Something not boring, Sai thought with triumph.

"Alright, you wanna make something or should I cook?" Sai asked earning a fearful look from the blond.

"No way. You're not coming anywhere near my stove!" Naruto said running to the kitchen as if it would catch on fire the moment Sai go in there. Sai laughed at the blonds' antics and followed him to the kitchen.

Naruto whipped up a simple vegetable soup and some rice for them. They didn't bother eating in the dining room. They both sat and ate at the counter making small conversation. It made Sai feel awfully weird. Naruto was never this quiet. He cleared his throat for the hundredth time that evening.

"So," the same start for like the tenth time, "what made you leave me in the backyard like that? Did I say something wrong?" he asked. Naruto froze then ignored Sai, again. This is getting frustrating, Sai thought with faking cheerfulness. "Naruto, you're being really weird." Sai complained.

"Shut up. I'm thinking here," Naruto said in a brooding manner.

"Silently?" Sai asked looking skeptic. Naruto didn't reply for a while so Sai continued eating feeling disgruntled, again. Another short conversation, he thought annoyed.

"Do you really think I love him?" the question knocked Sai out of his reverie and making him choke. He didn't catch the question fully.

"What was that?" Sai asked. Naruto looked away pouting slightly at the request.

"Do you really think I'm…" his voice lowered so much that the last part was barely audible. Of course that made Sai ask again what he was saying. "I said do you really think I'm in love with him," he repeated with a steady voice.

Sai was staring. With wide eyes. Blinking a few times. Naruto was worried.

"What?"

"Please don't make me repeat it again," Naruto begged. Sai stared, with wide eyes and blinking a few times, again. And of course making Naruto worried again.

"You're not pulling my leg, are you?" Sai asked. Naruto huffed.

"I am not. I'm just trying to make sense of things here. Things that you made me think of, remember?" Naruto meant their talk in the backyard.

"You…are being serious," Sai's tone was laced with astonishment. Naruto wasn't kidding. "Wow, you don't think you're in love with him? I mean you don't know you were in love with him? Everyone thinks you love him you know." Sai said surprising Naruto very much.

"What? I just thought about this today," Naruto exclaimed.

"Seriously? Ask anyone and they'll say you love him. And he loves you," Sai said making Naruto choke. He barely accepted the suggestion and now Sai was saying that Sasuke loved him back. It was all too weird to him.

"Stop," Naruto held his hand to Sai's face to enforce what he just said, "just stop. The idea of- of him," Naruto just couldn't say Sasuke's name, "well, that thing you just said," couldn't bring himself to say the word 'love' either, "is just ridiculous."

"Why's that? I mean, we all see how possessive he is when it comes to you," Sai pointed out making Naruto shiver in somewhat disgust.

"He's an ass, not in love with me," Naruto shivered again. "Ugh, that sounded just weird." Naruto gagged. Sai laughed.

"Sometimes being in love and being an ass is just the same," Sai said with a smile.

"You're not being logical," Naruto said in a bored tone.

"Oh now you're being logical? You never do that," Sai laughed some more seeing Naruto's annoyed expression. It almost looked like he was returning to his original self.

"Shut up. I'm have a reason not being logical."

"Oh, why's that?" Sai asked still smiling.

"Because I'm amazing," Naruto said with his signature terawatt smile. Sai laughed along. He was glad that Naruto was back to his old self, at least at the moment.

"Sure you are," Sai said jokingly and they both burst out laughing. Their laughter was loud enough to be heard from the outside. And someone did heard. It was Sasuke. He had came to see how his blond was doing and maybe, just maybe sort things out. Yet there he was standing outside their house listening to Naruto laughing from a joke he knew Sai was making. The joke was probably about him, ridiculing him or something.

Sasuke's face hardened at the thought. Naruto looked miserable the days he decided to not sleep in their house yet there he was listening to how jovial the blond was. With Sai. He turned around and stormed away before he decides to kill someone- or two. Maybe just one, Sasuke thought but he shook his head and went straight to his room. He was livid inside.

For the first time since he became an icy price, he lost his composure completely. He trashed his bedroom, smashed everything smash-able, and turned over everything that was lift-able- simply said he destroyed his room. But he did everything quietly.

Once his room was much to his rage's satisfaction, he plopped onto his bed and slept off what was left of his anger. Even that didn't soothe him. When he woke up for dinner his ire was present and fresher still. He looked at the mess he made but it didn't satisfy him at all and he exited his room.

Shower somewhat made Sasuke feel better and he went to have dinner with the rest of his family. His parents were still out so it was just him and the twins. They were somewhat crossed with him since Uncle Sasuke didn't bring Uncle Naruto with him. They kept giving him their version of the Uchiha Glare and not speaking to him or to anyone for that matter. In a way, things were finally back to how it was before Naruto came into their lives. Doesn't mean everyone was happy with it.

Post dinner affair was boring as well. Tatsuya and Tatsuki stormed away from the dining room, much like Sasuke did when he stormed away from his house, after their father instructed them to do their homework. The two brothers were left in the dining room. Sasuke know Itachi heard him destroying his room. Heck he knew half the house hold heard what he did, they just didn't want him glaring at them.

"What happened?" Itachi asked.

"None of your business," Sasuke said sipping his drink with his eyes closed.

"You tore your room apart. Do I have to remind you that the main house is under my watch while father is away?" Itachi reminded him. Of course he meant whatever happens in the main house were his business.

"My room, my business."

"My house, my business," Itachi retorted. Sasuke fumed silently. Maybe it would be better if he told his brother what happened. Though that goes against his nature, against every Uchiha's nature actually.

"Fine," Sasuke said making his brother cock an eyebrow questioningly. That was fast, Itachi thought. Things must be more serious than I thought, his thought had a tinge of amusement in it.

"Alright, tell me," Itachi said politely.

"I went to see how he was doing," Sasuke began his explanation. No need to state who 'he' was. "I thought about talking to him until I got to the front door. He was probably in the kitchen eating…with Sai." Sasuke stopped to keep his anger in check.

"I thought you don't mind Sai. He isn't a threat," Itachi said.

"I never said he wasn't a threat. I said Naruto won't fall for him," Sasuke hissed.

"Yet you're not sure either," Itachi pointed out. Sasuke glared at him, bored.

"Do you want to hear what I say or not?" Sasuke asked.

"Please go on."

"I heard them laughing when I got there. I thought Naruto would be depressed or something like that but they sounded happy, together." Sasuke was losing his cool again. He didn't understand why things were getting to him that bad.

"Sai maybe trying to cheer the blond instead. Naruto-kun does look broken-" for lack of better word, "-since you asked for that rule from father." Sasuke actually growled.

"Bullshit," he said slowly still trying to keep his anger in check. But damnit it was hard! Why is it that hard to keep his temper in check when I think about him? Sasuke thought furiously. Again, no need to say who 'he' was.

"Then why are you still with him? Why haven't you just severe your ties with Naruto?" Itachi asked. Sasuke's inside turned to ice. What the hell?

"What?" Sasuke asked in a tone that clearly express his disbelief.

"We talked about this on your wedding day remember,"

"Sasuke, there are many ways to end a marriage."

"Clearly." Sasuke stated icily. He had thought about what his brother was implying that day and he definitely remember coming to one conclusion. Itachi nodded. "You were talking about divorce."

"In a way," Itachi agreed.

"Are you getting somewhere with this?" Sasuke's face was very hard and his tone very serious. He couldn't say he was happy with where the conversation was going but he was curious as well.

"Your relationship with him is getting worse. Why continue it when you know how it will go? It would be better for the both of you to separate," Itachi explained. Sasuke knew Itachi was not finished. "You know he can't return to his family due to our law. Instead, I can marry him."
