Warning! – Spiders…but they're only tiny ones. Sasuke decides that Itachi's room isn't as comforting as pre-thought. He is determined to have Naruto but will he finally succeed in stopping this rumour!?

Success? So Close

Inside Itachi's room everything was all darkly coloured and dusty. Itachi wouldn't mind too much if Sasuke slept in his bed would he? Itachi had left his room in pristine condition before he left the house however Sasuke's adventures into the unknown had disrupted the neatness.

He closed the door and edged though all the clutter on the floor (mostly scrolls and kunai) to the bed.

Flipping back the covers he climbed in. As he sank into the pillow dust from it poofed into the air causing him to cough and choke. He pulled Itachi's covers up over his head to block out the dust cloud.

He turned over trying to get comfortable, something cold touched his foot compelling him to sit bolt upright. He upturned the duvet at the end of the bed to find a random kunai knife. He sighed in relief and lay back. Sasuke stared at the ceiling; little fairies were dancing around light.

It wasn't until they started crawling towards him that he realised they weren't fairies but instead spiders. "I want my own bed!" He shoved his head under the covers. 'Man up Sasuke, they're only spiders, and we can't go back to our own bed. Naruto and …Sakura are in our room!'

"Hn, spiders. Itachi probably left them there so that he could stop anyone from staying in here" He folded his arms behind his head. It felt somewhat spooky trying to sleep in his older brothers previous lodgings.

Sasuke turned onto his other side and closed his eyes, he allowed them to flick open again and he was glad he did, something moved and caught his eye. He didn't want to leave the comfort and safety of the bed. "Hn, must be another one of Itachi's tricks…"

A tapping at the window sent shivers up his spine. Glancing back toward the window, an outline of a giant crow flapped its wings in a menacing manner. The alarming shadow caused Sasuke to tumble out of the bed. "Gah"

He hit the floor getting tangled in all the scrolls "Get off!" not one to be scared Sasuke managed to shake off his fear, that is it worked until he clambered towards the door to find the light switch. Something brushed against his back. "…!"

"I don't care if they're in my room! I want my bed! Where's the door handle!?" when he found it he yanked it open and ran out into the hall before closing away the dark and spookiness that was Itachi's room.

He took a couple of minutes to steady himself and work back the moody persona that he held earlier. "Sasuke? What are you doing back in here?" Naruto whispered aware that Sakura was fast asleep.

"I wanted to preserve the Itachi-ness in the room…" Sasuke climbed back into his own bed next to Naruto.

"You're all dusty"

"It was only a dusty pillow, after all no-ones been in there for a while"

"Are you cold? You're shivering"

"Hn. It was cold in Itachi's room." Sasuke allowed Naruto to shuffle closer like they had been back in the sleeping bag. "Say Sasuke what's that little fairy crawling on the wall?"

"Fairy!? Oh no" They sat up and watched it crawl down to the floor. "It must have escaped from the other room." Unfortunately Sakura was the one it was creeping towards.

"Should we wake her before it crawls on her?" Naruto asked observing the insect curiously. "Hn, if we wake her up she'll freak out and then she'll want to sleep in the bed with us"

"Sasuke! It's getting closer" The tiny spider, without a care in the world approached the pink haired sleeper with each tiny bug-step, Sakura snored on with no inclination that she was in close contact with one of the insects she so hated.

"Sasuke we better do something!"

"I'm ready" he was all ready for action with a roll of newspaper in one hand. "What!? You can't do that you could hurt the spider"

"Alright fine you come up with an idea!"

"We could pick it up and put it outside, go ahead Sasuke you can do it"

"Dobe, it's your idea you do it!" They were so absorbed in their squabbling over who had to pick the spider up, that they didn't realize the spider had edged into her relaxed palm.

It progressed up her arm and was dancing about on her forehead. "Hehe…Sasuke-kun please stop…" she spoke in sleep talk. The two boys turned and looked at her. "The newspaper isn't looking to bad right now"

Just as Sasuke raised the roll of newspaper, Sakura's eyes flickered open. "Sasuke-kun what the…eek! It's a spider! Get it off; get it off, GET IT OFF!" Sakura screeched waving her hands in the air; she managed to flick it off. Poor spider, it was flung across room landing gracefully on the window sill. It seized its chance to escape before Sakura could stomp on it.

"Eww! Why didn't you guys tell me!?"

"Sakura it was only a really little one, it's not like it was a tarantula or the size of that centipede back in the Forest of Death" Naruto was mildly amused, if she was freaking out over a tiny spider like this he was glad that he didn't tell her about the one he had to wrestle out of her hair at the start of their genin days. For all his efforts to get rid of it he was rewarded with hand to the side of his face.

"Hn, we were discussing how to get rid of it without causing a fuss" Sakura studied the floor to ensure that there weren't anymore. "Eek! I can't sleep on the floor! Not with that spider."

"Oi!" Sakura scrambled onto the bed between them. "Sorry but I can't sleep on the floor with spider about"

"That was not part of the deal!"

"Please Sasuke-kun! You won't know I'm here! I'll just go to sleep and I'll stop bothering you" Sasuke scowled but Naruto gave the 'go ahead' nod and the three of them settled to sleep.

Sakura was the first to drop off. Her snores were like chain saws resulting with the rest of her team mates lying awake and frustrated. The bed lifted on one side and Sasuke watched Naruto's outline get up and walk out of the room.

Sakura mumbled in her sleep again. "…No…stop…you can't kick me out…Kiba started…that rumour…" The raven gritted his teeth. He wasn't going to let dog-boy make a fool out of him, nor was he going to let Sakura stop him from ending this rumour like he stated he would do.

Naruto was in the kitchen sipping a glass of water. 'Sakura doesn't half snore like a chainsaw…I wonder what it was Sasuke was going to do…As much as I like the fact Sakura has a place to stay for the night I can't help but feel so-' "Naruto"

He turned around and Sasuke stood in the doorway. "Oh Sasuke, did I wake you?"

"I couldn't sleep much with her and her snoring back there anyway… we're going to finish where I left off earlier"

"Huh? But I…I'm kind of sleepy and I thought you said you didn't want an audience?" Sasuke sighed, Naruto was having second thoughts. 'Dammit Sakura now Naruto doesn't want to do it! Looks like I'll have to put that into play'

Sasuke moved so that he was a couple of inches away from the blonde. "Hn…well if that's how it's going to be" his eyes had changed from annoyance and anger to a soft and more seductive stare.

Naruto twisted around quickly to try and prevent the nosebleed Sasuke was enforcing on him. "Um…sure I just need to finish my…er…drink and I'll be with you in a sec" he squeaked trying to avoid messing up the clean kitchen. Red didn't strike him to be Sasuke's favourite colour

Happy with the reaction, Sasuke made his way to the living room where he had already pre-set up a duvet, laid out over the wooden floor. 'Hn. Who would have thought that copying Itachi would have turned out so advantageous?'

"Sasuke?" Naruto entered the room closing the door firmly behind him. He joined the raven and lay down on the edge of the duvet which Sasuke gestured to. "Do we need candles?"

"Not necessarily" Sasuke had swung a leg over so that he was sat on Naruto. "Hey, this is different to what you were doing earlier."

"Dobe, earlier we were interrupted. Twice. So I've had enough of a warm up"

"Warm up for what?"

"Speaking of warm, it is hot in here. Isn't it?" Sasuke lifted his shirt off and discarded it. "Actually Sasuke it's kind of chilly in here...what?" The raven was glaring at him as if to say 'Dobe, stop being stupid and just agree with everything I say' Naruto shrugged. "Lucky for you dobe, I hear that body heat is a good source of warmth."

The boy beneath him blushed at the thought of himself together with Sasuke; he could feel his body temperature increasing like that when you get embarrassed by someone or something. "Dobe, are you sure you're not hot? You look it" the blonde felt his face glow even more.

"Hn. Are you coming down with a fever?" Sasuke leant forward and rested his forehead on Naruto's, both gazing into the others eyes. The brilliant blue ones blinked, awaiting the next move, they were being eaten alive by the hungry and wanting look from its Onyx opponents.

The moment was perfect, too perfect. A loud poof echoed through the house in what would be known as irony.

"It's really dark in here! Next time I should consider bringing a torch with me and- what the!?" Kakashi had plunged into darkness when he had poofed out of his brightly lit apartment into Sasuke's living room. There was a muffled noise; arms would have been flailing if fingers hadn't been locked together.

"Sasuke? Is that you" The sudden impact of Kakashi sitting on the pair of them had taken the raven by surprise his body had given way and was tightly squashed into the body beneath. His face had slipped catching Naruto's lips along the way.

Kakashi stepped off them allowing them a chance to breathe. Both were panting for the air that had been forced out of them, the hunger and greed in Sasuke was replaced with more anger. "Kakashi! What the hell are you doing here!?"

"Breaking up a fight that went wrong? Oh and Sakura got kicked out of her home but I was on a jonin mission, I came as soon as I found out and-…"

Sakura opened the door rubbing at her eyes. "Huh? Is something wrong?"

"You know what, you get here now!" Sasuke grabbed Kakashi's jonin vest and dragged him out into the hall. "And you!" He grasped Sakura's wrist he pulled them all the way to the front door. "Get out! Stay out!" He pushed them through the open door.

"How rude" Kakashi straightened out his vest indignantly.

Slamming the door on them, for the forth time that night Sasuke went back to Naruto. The blonde was fast asleep. "…" The vain on the raven's forehead twitched. He didn't know whether to throw a tantrum and scream the village down or smash the walls with his bare hands.

Collapsing next to the snoring Naruto, Sasuke reasoned it would be best to leave him be. He was sleeping on his front, his night shirt had folded up exposing part of his lower back. Even though it was dark Sasuke could make out the outline of the boys boxers. He could just make out the little Uchiha fans on the waste band "…you dobe those are mine…Hn, technically that rumour is no more"

He smirked and curled up next to the blonde not before wishing him good night. "Dobe, I'll get you next time"
