Somebody Save Me
Chapter 25
Itachi glared at his mother, he wasn't sure what she was up too, by approaching Naruto. But he had the feeling it wasn't anything good. He didn't believe a word about her wanting to apologize, she didn't even sound sorry. Itachi was certain that even Naruto could pick up on that.
"Just take me to bed Itachi." Naruto asked, pleading. He didn't understand what was going on, he was just tired and he wanted to be able to smell Sasuke's scent.
"Okay, Naruto whatever you want kiddo." Itachi said softly, before nodding at Madara to push Naruto towards the room that he and Sasuke had shared.
"I'll be there in a minute." Itachi said, once his uncle had wondered off down the hall, pushing Naruto. Itachi turned to his mother.
"What's your game?" he asked, "what are you planning?"
"Who said I was planning anything?" Mikoto asked. "It could be that I just want to apologize." Itachi snorted.
"Stay away from Naruto. That kid has enough issues to deal with, he doesn't need you to add to them." Itachi stated before turning to Gaara. "Take me to Naruto if you don't mind." Gaara nodded, like Naruto, Gaara got the sense that Mikoto wasn't exactly being honest. She was most certainly planning something, which meant that Gaara was going to have to keep a close eye on her.
"I don't trust her." Itachi said as soon as Gaara had pushed him out of her hearing. "I think she's up to no good. I don't think it's going to be a good idea to have Naruto here with her."
"It's not like she's going to get the chance to be alone with him." Gaara said. "We both know that she's up to something, all we have to do is keep an eye on her."
"I was hoping that Naruto would get some peace." Itachi muttered as Gaara rolled him into the bedroom, where Madara was helping Naruto onto Sasuke's bed.
"Be careful of his stitches." Itachi reminded his uncle, it hurt looking at the room, there were reminders of Sasuke all over the place. Clothes that were dropped in the floor waiting to be picked up by the person that had worn them. Itachi closed his eyes, and breathed deeply. He had to be strong for Naruto, he had to be the person that Naruto could depend on to keep him safe.
"I can still smell him." Naruto said softly, bending over and pressing his face into Sasuke's pillow. Sasuke's scent was all over the pillow and it sent a wave of longing through Naruto so sharp that it brought tears to his eyes. Naruto missed Sasuke so much, he wanted nothing more than to join him in the afterlife regardless of what anyone thought. Naruto would find a way to be with his lover soon. Tears dropped on the pillow soaking it as Naruto wept with his longing for the other.
"I think I'll be okay." Itachi told Gaara as he sat down beside Naruto on Sasuke's bed. "I'm going to talk to Naruto for a little while and then probably go to bed myself."
"Just holler if you need anything." Gaara said. "I'll likely be up for a little while tonight." Itachi nodded, his eyes falling to Gaara's back side as the other man walked out of the room, following his uncle.
Itachi turned back to Naruto and placed his hand gently on Naruto's shoulder.
"I know you miss him." Itachi said softly. "And it's going to hurt like hell to let him go."
"I'll never let him go." Naruto said softly, his sobs growing quieter. "He's all I've ever wanted, and most of the time I know that I confused him and he didn't really know what I felt."
"I know that he knew you loved him." Itachi replied, "there isn't any doubt about that. He sacrificed himself for you. He wouldn't have done that if you didn't mean the world to him."
"Orochimaru wasn't the one that took my virginity." Naruto said suddenly, surprising Itachi. "In fact I lost it before that mess even happened." Itachi frowned wondering when either Sasuke or Naruto would have had time for that to happen.
"We were at school." Naruto continued, his voice lost in the memory. "We were having a bit of a make out session in the bathroom. I can still feel his hands on me, I can still remember how hard he made me before he took me, and rode me until we were both spent." Itachi blinked, he wasn't sure that was information that he'd wanted to know about either his brother or Naruto, but he wasn't about to say anything.
"He made me feel like I was the most special person in the world. Even though I was confused about the way I felt for a while. I just wish I could have loved him the way he deserved to be loved." Naruto said. "I would go back, and I would let him have my body again and again if it meant that he could stay with me." Itachi swallowed hard, he wondered if his parents had known about Sasuke's school activities. Surely if they did, Itachi was sure that they would have found a way to separate the two of them. It wasn't that they were against same sex relationships, but they believed education was important and that sex should be done in the bedroom and not the bathroom at school.
"I want to join Sasuke." Naruto said suddenly, interrupting Itachi's thoughts. "I don't want to live without Sasuke. I know you and Kura probably won't understand, but I need Sasuke more than anyone else. I'm lost without him, I feel like I'm only half a person."
"You won't have too." Itachi said softly, "I promise I will find a way to help you be with Sasuke again. I'll convince your brother too. It's not fair to ask you to be without the one you love after all that you have already been through." It hurt Itachi's heart to think of losing Naruto as well as his brother, but Itachi understood how Naruto felt. They had a love that was stronger than anything that Itachi had seen before, it was unfair to ask Naruto to live without it.
"I'm sorry." Naruto said softly. "I know that you don't really want to help me, but I have no life without him."
"I understand how you feel." Itachi said gently. "It's going to hurt to lose you, but I know that Sasuke will be happy to have you with him again." Thinking about losing Naruto so soon after losing his own little brother, but Itachi would do anything to make Naruto happy.
"Thank you." Naruto said softly, as he lay down on his stomach. He was tired, and he wanted to sleep but he was afraid of what his dreams would hold.
"I'll stay with you until you go to sleep." Itachi said as if reading Naruto's thoughts. He couldn't blame the kid for being afraid to go to sleep. Naruto didn't have many happy memories as of late.
"Dream of Sasuke making love to you." Itachi murmured reaching out and stroking the back of Naruto's head. He hoped that the kid would dream of only good things tonight, he deserved a little happiness after all.
Once Naruto was sleeping quietly, Itachi pushed himself to his feet, groaning quietly as he done so. Tonight he would have a conversation that he knew Kurama probably wouldn't like, but it was going to happen. He shuffled across the room, glancing back at Naruto, whose face was once again buried in Sasuke's pillow. Itachi hoped that it would bring a small amount of comfort to the hurting teen. Itachi would find a way to ease the rest of the hurt somehow.
"How is he doing?" Gaara asked as Itachi slowly made his way into the living room, where everyone was currently watching TV.
"He's hurting pretty badly." Itachi answered as he eased himself down on the couch beside Gaara. "I think we are going to need to discuss our options."
"What are you talking about?" Kurama asked, turning his attention from the TV to Itachi.
"I think we all know that Naruto never should have come out of that place alive. Once Sasuke's life ended, you might as well say that Naruto's did too." Itachi said.
"He's still very much alive." Kurama said frowning.
"His heart is beating yes, but I'm pretty sure he might as well be dead inside." Itachi replied. "he wants to join Sasuke and considering all the issues that he faces, I'm not sure that's a bad idea. It would free him from his worldly hell."
"What your talking about is murder." Kurama said. "I'm not going to let you end his life. He still has so much to live for. He can always find another lover." Itachi could hear the panic in Kurama's voice, he knew Kura was fighting the idea because he didn't want to lose his little brother after everything that had happened recently.
"Is it?" Itachi asked. "because I don't think Naruto has really been alive since Sasuke died. You and both know that he is going to find a way to end it, it would be better if we could at least him with that." Itachi hated the tears he saw in Kurama's eyes, he hated that he was forcing Kurama to make this kind of decision. It wasn't fair to ask Kurama to help end his brother's life after he'd already endured his parents murders.
"I don't want things to be this way." Itachi said quietly, feeling Gaara's hand on his thigh squeezing gently, and offering silent support. At least Gaara understood the point that Itachi was trying to make. "I love Naruto like he's my own brother, it's going to hurt like hell to lose him, but doesn't he deserve to be with the ones that he loves again?"
"Yes, but I don't want him to die." Kurama said. "I don't care if that's selfish of me, but I want my brother to grow up into an adult."
"It is selfish to continue to allow his suffering to continue." Itachi said. "I know you don't understand that, but Naruto's life is completely different from what it used to be. He won't ever be normal again. You will likely have to take care of him for the rest of his life. Do you want Naruto to always be unhappy?"
"No, but I want him alive." Kurama said stubbornly, as he stood up and headed towards the door. "I won't allow you to end his life, if you even try it. I'll make sure you go to jail for murder." Kurama slammed the door behind him, and Itachi watched him jog down the drive.
"That went well." Itachi muttered. "Why can't he accept that Naruto would be better of with their parents and Sasuke. Its not fair to ask him to continue to suffer just because Kura is scared of letting him go."
"Kurama will come around." Gaara said. "he just needs some time to think about it. To come to terms with the fact that his little brother is dying and it's only a matter of time before he's lost." Itachi sighed.
"I hope your right. I can't imagine forcing Naruto to live a life that he doesn't want to live, it's hugely unfair to him." Itachi said softly. His heart ached just thinking about the Naruto spending the rest of his life unhappy and miserable because Kurama was too scared to let him go.
"Kurama is scared because Naruto is the last part of his family. You can't entirely blame him for being scared."
"That might be true, but Kura has us, and maybe eventually Obito." Itachi said. "If I can find a way to make that work."
"Why don't you try relaxing a little?" Gaara asked, "I'm sure your still plenty sore from what you went through yourself."
"I am, and more than a little tired." Itachi admitted, but not too tired that he was starting to think of what it would feel like to have Gaara's mouth on his.
"Your tempting me." Gaara murmured, noticing that Itachi's eyes were on his lips. "I want to taste you, but I'm not so sure that right now is the best moment."
"If you're waiting for it to be perfect, you'll be waiting forever." Itachi replied, and Gaara smirked before lowering his head and covering Itachi's mouth with his. Itachi opened his mouth upon feeling Gaara's tongue licking at his lips, asking for entrance. Gaara pressed his mouth harder against Itachi's mouth, enjoying the feel of having Itachi's mouth under his.
Itachi moaned, and sucked Gaara's lower lip into his mouth, and nibbled on it gently, causing the other man to moan. Itachi pressed himself harder against Gaara's side, ignoring the stab of pain that he felt in his ribs.
"More." Itachi demanded. "I want more of you."
"You're driving me crazy." Gaara murmured, taking Itachi's hand and placing it on the part that made Gaara male. "how can you make me want you so much?" Itachi tightened his hand over Gaara's pants, filling the hardness of the other. He wondered what it would be like to take the part that he was feeling into the deepest part of his body. Itachi was almost desperate with need. How could one man make him that crazy in just a short amount of time.
Pulling away, Gaara looked at the blushing Itachi.
"I think we are very compatible." Gaara murmured, as Itachi pulled his hand away. "Maybe here shortly I can drive into you and bring you the greatest pleasure that you've ever known."
"If you don't shut up, I'm going to jump you now." Itachi replied. "I didn't know it was possible to want someone so much."
"You should probably go check on Naruto," Gaara commented, shifting in his seat, his pants were more than a little uncomfortable and he was afraid he would jump Itachi right then and there if the other didn't go check on Naruto.
"I'm going, I'm going." Itachi muttered slowly forcing himself to stand up.
"You don't have to worry." Gaara said. "I want your ass underneath me, falling apart and filled with my cum." Itachi blushed and hurried out of the room as fast as his sore ribs would allow him to go. Just Gaara's words sent waves of longing shooting through him. He didn't know how much longer he would be able to be around Gaara without jumping him.
Itachi entered the bedroom to find Naruto sobbing into Sasuke's pillow. Tears streaking the boy's face, leaving a wet trail on his cheeks. Itachi sat down on the bed, and placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder gently.
"I'm here Naruto." Itachi said softly, guilt flooding him at what he had been doing with Gaara just a few minutes earlier while Naruto was broken heartedly crying for his lost lover.
"I want him back 'tachi." Naruto cried. "It hurts knowing that he's never coming back."
"I know." Itachi said softly. "nothing seems right without him here. I'm so used to the loud pranks that the two of you used to play. I'm almost expecting Sasuke to jump out at me from some corner."
"Stay with me?" Naruto asked quietly.
"Of course," Itachi said softly, climbing onto the bed, and crawling over Naruto to lay down by the wall. He gently pulled Naruto close to his chest. "Go to sleep, I'll be here to keep any nightmares from happening"
Twenty minutes of listening to Naruto's quite breathing and Itachi grew drowsy and closed his own eyes and drifted to sleep.
"Let me make you mine!" A red headed FBI agent demanded as he pressed Itachi against a wall and slammed his mouth against Itachi's. while a hand went to Itachi's pants, pulling apart his belt before allowing Itachi's pants and boxers to hit the floor. Gaara ground himself against Itachi, making the other moan loudly at the friction that Gaara was creating between them. If Gaara wasn't careful Itachi was going to cum all over him.
"I think there's a problem." Itachi murmured as Gaara lowered his lips to Itachi's neck, kissing and sucking.
"What's that?" Gaara asked.
"You still have your pants on." Itachi mumbled, moaning again as Gaara attacked the side of Itachi's neck with his mouth.
"I can fix that." Gaara murmured as he dropped his hands to his pants and lowered them to the floor, along with his own boxers, before he began grinding against Itachi again, making the other moan loudly.
Itachi moaned when he felt a pair of lips on his own, biting at his lips. Itachi moaned and turned his head and pressing his mouth harder against the other, he moaned when he felt a pair of hands on his cock, squeezing and pulling, sending waves of pleasure through him.
"Fuck me Sasuke!" A voice interrupted Itachi's moans. "Fuck me hard!"
Itachi's eyes shot open at the mention of his brother's name, and he found Naruto's face in his, Naruto's lips on his and his hands on the most private part of Itachi.
"Naruto!" Itachi shouted, God, I'm Itachi, not Sasuke!" raising his hands and shoving Naruto roughly away from him, not noticing how close to the edge of the bed that Naruto was. He barely heard the thump of Naruto hitting the floor, as he tried to calm his breathing. What the hell had happened? Itachi wondered had Naruto really been giving him a hand job in his sleep?
Numbly Itachi climbed out of bed, still not noticing that tears were running down the startled Naruto's face as he sat in the floor, confused as to what had happened. Itachi left the room, and headed out the front door. Standing on the porch, Itachi leaned over the railing, his mid section begging for relief, relief that Naruto had unexpectedly been trying to give him.
"You're having a bit of a problem." Gaara said from behind Itachi.
"That's saying something." Itachi mumbled as he turned around, groaning as he did so.
"I think I can help." Gaara murmured. "If you want it."
"I will gladly accept." Itachi murmured unsure of what exactly that Gaara meant by that. Itachi could feel excitement shoot through him when Gaara dropped down to his knees in front of Itachi, his hands pulling down on Itachi's pants, leaving Gaara with a face full of Itachi's member. Gaara smirked at Itachi as he leaned forward and gave the head a lick, before he licked his way down the shaft. Itachi groaned and leaned his head back against the post as Gaara took him into his mouth, sucking deep, his fingers reaching up and playing with Itachi's balls.
Itachi moaned the harder Gaara began to suck, and he thrusted against the others mouth, wanting to be as deep as possible. His hands found his way into Gaara's hair and he pulled himself deeper into Gaara's mouth. He had never thought that something like this would ever feel so good.
Meanwhile, Mikoto had watched Itachi leave the bedroom, looking more than a little pained. Whatever he was dealing with would give her enough time to slip in and talk to Naruto.
Entering the kitchen, Mikoto reached up for the bar that she had kept on top of the fridge. She smirked at it, before opening the package and sitting it on the counter and grabbed a can of frosting. She quickly coating the bar with frosting before grabbing a glass and crushing a bunch of pills into it, then adding milk watching as the pills dissolved. She had the perfect solution to making Naruto feel better about whatever had happened between him and Itachi.
Once she was finished she grabbed the bar and class of milk and headed into Naruto's bedroom. She found Naruto still sitting on the floor, tears quietly pouring down his face.
"Here sweetheart." Mikoto said softly. "I have something that's going to make you feel better." she handed the frosting covered bar, and watched as Naruto lifted it to his lips, taking a small bite.
"It tastes weird." Naruto mumbled.
"That's because it's organic and good for you." Mikoto said, watching as Naruto finished eating the bar, and chasing it down with the glass of milk. She helped Naruto stand up, and walk towards the bed. Covering him with a blanket, she gave him a small smile before turning and walking out of the room.
A small laugh escaped her lips at the Naruto's naivety. He shouldn't trust that everyone actually wanted to help him. Hearing the sound of feet coming towards her, she saw Kurama with an empty box in his hand.
"What did you do with the rat poison?"
