A/N: sigh I love ItaNaru! However just a warning, CONTAINS YAOI! So if you don't like it, don't read and if you decide to read it even though you don't like it, don't flame me for it, and if you can't read…. Then go away. This starts out as NaruSasu first though, but that's only to lead into the actual plot! And if any one wants to be a beta, feel free to ask, I'm almost always looking for one! Oh, and I might be adding another pairing in but I don't know which one yet, so feel free to make suggestions! Um, and constructive criticism appreciated though not entirely loved and well… yah, uh, just start reading it already!

Oh yeah! DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters; if I did Itachi would be wearing a whole lot of NOTHING! (Same goes for Kakashi (Insert evil fangirl laughter)

Blue eyes studied an equally blue sky as Uzumaki Naruto lay on the ground. He was feeling strangely that day and didn't know why, it had all happened when he had been training with Sasuke. They had fallen to the ground on top of each other and for some reason, Naruto had been slightly aroused. He remembered how brightly he had blushed and then… he had bolted to the clearing in which he now was. He let one leg hang down over the side of the branch he was on and sighed. For some other reason though, he felt nervous. Something came up behind him and he jumped away snarling as he landed on all fours. A tall man stood on the limb where he had been. He smiled a wide smile with many sharp teeth and jumped down to stand in front of Naruto.

"What do you want fish-breath?" asked Naruto backing away slightly.

"Oh, insults. A step up from the last time you saw me huh? Then you were so scared you couldn't move!" Kisame said shrugging as he shifted the Samehada slightly. Itachi walked out of the shadow of the forest to come up beside him and Naruto felt a strong tug at his heart as he studied Sasuke's older brother. Itachi definitely had a sexy look with his long hair pulled back and a tight fishnet shirt that showed somewhat through the partly opened cloak he wore. He was much prettier then Sasuke, though he resembled him a lot and the blood red sharingan in his eyes just made him all the nicer to look at. Naruto didn't comment when he saw Itachi, angering him wasn't something to do.

"Well, now I see Uchiha Itachi and slimy gills. However, you still haven't answered my question," Naruto said with a slight smirk as Kisame scowled.

"Oh, I think you know very well why we're here," said Itachi in a monotone voice. Naruto didn't even glance at him. It was too much like looking at Sasuke who had just been retrieved from Orochimaru's hide out.

Naruto shrugged looking right above Itachi instead of at him, "So what are you waiting for? If you want to kidnap me go ahead," Kisame narrowed his eyes.

"Are you saying you aren't going to fight?" asked Itachi with no emotion.

"Yup, but I ask you to only give me one day, then we'll met here after night fall and I'll come willingly," Naruto said with a yawn. The sun was just starting to go down and the sky was aflame with its colors.

"Fine, but if you try to skip out or come with someone else to try and defeat us, we won't go easy on any of you," Itachi said before turning and walking away. Kisame looked back and forth between Naruto and Itachi before exhaling loudly and following Itachi into the shadows. Naruto cracked his neck before setting off towards the village to do one thing before he left.

Sasuke opened his door slowly to find Naruto standing there uncertainly. "What?" He asked with a blank face.

"Uh, I… Sasuke, um I just wanted to…" Naruto stammered turning red. Sasuke shifted his weight onto his other foot.

"Come on, out with what ever idiotic thing you're trying to say," Sasuke said bored.

"I don't know how to say it though…" Naruto said quietly, Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Sasuke, I'm sorry…" he said before starting to turn away.

"Sorry for what?" Sasuke asked spinning Naruto to face him, Naruto blushed looking into Sasuke's eyes.

Naruto didn't know what to do, so… he just did what his emotions told him to. He kissed Sasuke. Sasuke was stunned as their lips met and just stood there before closing his eyes and placing a hand on the back of Naruto's head. Naruto opened his eyes slowly and pulled away, "Um, I have to… go somewhere…" he said breathless as he blushed and started to back away. Sasuke just blinked.

"Where?" Sasuke asked with a smirk.

"Dunno yet…" murmured Naruto, Sasuke smiled and pulled him back.

"Then I guess it can wait," he whispered before pulling Naruto into his apartment and shutting the door.

oOo

Naruto slowly opened his eyes to the sound of birds chirping outside the window in front of him. He went to rub the night cap he always wore but hit his hair instead. Sitting up he looked around him, his clothes were all over the floor and so were Sasuke's. He blinked and looked around, this wasn't his bed either. He struggled to remember what had happened last night and blushed when he did. Sasuke walked into the room scrubbing his hair with a towel.

His eyes rested on Naruto, "So, dobe, you're finally up. I'd take a shower if I was you, borrow any clothes you want. We can stop by your apartment before we head to training so you can change," he said before throwing the towel into a hamper across the room. Naruto nodded quietly chewing on his lip. "What? You have your calculating look on."

Naruto blinked, "What? Oh it's nothing to worry about. I was just thinking about something."

"About what?" Naruto adverted his eyes, a sign that he was about to lie.

"What type of ramen I should have today!" said Naruto falsely cheery, Sasuke frowned.

"What ever, just hurry up and take a shower," he said. "The bathroom is just down the hall so you shouldn't get lost looking for it." Naruto nodded and tried to collect his things without getting out of the bed, Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter now?"

"Well, I'm kinda naked…" Naruto mumbled and Sasuke's eyes went wide.

"Oh, um… I'll be in the kitchen," he said blushing as he slipped out of the room and ran down the hall.

Naruto murmured something to him self and cautiously made his way to the bathroom, making sure that there was no way anyone could have possibly seen him. He sighed when he locked the door behind him and he turned on the water. Naruto stripped what little he had put on for his trek down the hall and climbed into the shower. He let the water run over him as he thought of how Sasuke would take it when Naruto left with the Akatsuki, probably not very well. Naruto slumped his shoulders at the thought of leaving Sasuke but he felt like he was kidding himself with thinking that he loved the younger Uchiha. Naruto closed his eyes and turned his face up to the flow of water that was streaming down on him. For once in his life he didn't feel like pretending to happy when he wasn't and he knew that not acting like a hyperactive loud-mouth was going to worry the others and ruin his mask of happiness; but right now he didn't feel like cosplaying the younger knuckle headed ninja he used to be. With a slight sigh he stretched out his arms and opened his eyes letting his tears mix with the water. Anyone who saw through his mask would know how much he hurt inside when he heard the whispers of the villagers around him, they would know how much he loved the village… and they would know how much he loved the people he knew. He hated himself for being the way he was, having the Kyubi inside of him wasn't his choice. He yawned and grabbed the soap next to him completely absorbed in his thoughts.

"Naruto, we have to be leaving soon!" said Sasuke pounding on the door. Naruto snapped out of his thoughts ad finished rinsing his hair before stepping out and reaching for a towel. He noticed something about the towels, aside from the Uchiha crest on a corner of all of them, the smaller towels meant for hair were a red color while the larger ones for the body were white. Naruto sighed; even their towels could make the Uchiha crest. He grabbed a large white one and started to scrub his body with it. He looked around the room and saw a large closet, opening it up he found many shirts and pants in Sasuke's size. Stifling a giggle he opened up a drawer near the bottom and withdrew a pair of boxers, they were covered in the Uchiha crest. He slipped them on trying not to laugh loudly at how silly he looked in them before grabbed a neatly folded shirt and slipping it on as well. He slid out of the room fully dressed and grabbed the remnants of his stuff strewn across the floor. Now the trick was to get to his house with time to change and to not be seen in Uchiha clothing.

Sasuke smiled when he saw Naruto in his clothes and tried to suppress the laughter that threatened to burst from him when Naruto glared at him. "Let's get to your house quickly and hopefully without being seen. It would raise some questions if you were seen in my clothes…" he said as calmly as he could. Naruto nodded and shoved his dirty clothes into his small travel back pack that he kept rolled up in his equipment satchel. Sasuke nodded and they set off out through a window so no one would notice they were leaving. They got to Naruto's house soon after not having been spotted. Naruto ran into his messy bedroom and began to strip off Sasuke's clothes. Only when he was in his own orange clothes did he relax. He grabbed the clothes he had pulled off and tried to fold them the best he could before shoving them into the first bag he grabbed. He tossed the bag to Sasuke when he walked into the kitchen and grabbed a piece of toast that Sasuke had made for him. Sticking part of it in his mouth he walked out side.

"We should be going about now," he said to Sasuke watching a cloud float lazily across the sky. Sasuke nodded.

"I'll come pick the clothes up afterwards, okay?" he asked throwing the bag onto the couch. Naruto just shrugged.

"I'll race you to the training ground!" he yelled over his shoulder taking off across the roof tops. Sasuke caught up with him easily and they ran shoulder to shoulder for the most part until they saw the training ground. Putting on an extra burst of speed Naruto pulled ahead by a meager foot and landed beside Sakura gasping for air. Sasuke landed beside him and leaned against a tree wiping sweat from his brow. Training commenced as usual, Sasuke and Naruto sparred for a little, then they worked with Rock Lee and Gai to get better taijutsu skills before Sasuke went to work on his copy Jutsus with Kakashi and Naruto went for work with genjutsu with Sakura and Tsunade. They stopped hours later, the sun was low in the sky and Naruto cursed. "Sasuke, let's go get some ramen!" he yelled trying to smile. Sasuke nodded and placed a hand over his growling stomach. They raced to Ichiraku Ramen and skidded to a halt Naruto crashing into Sasuke who had stopped short.

The sun was down now and in front of them stood a tall man with long black hair. "Itachi…" Naruto whispered almost as a curse. He had enjoyed being with Sasuke for the little time they had been together but know that fun was over. Sasuke's body went rigid as Itachi used a simple paralysis jutsu on him. Naruto hung his head, "Sorry Sasuke, but we had a deal. One day was all I got, but now the day is over. Good bye," he said tears in his eyes as he walked over to Itachi.

Itachi nodded slightly, "Let's go then, Kisame took care of the guards at the gate so we should be able to travel fairly quickly." Naruto nodded trying to wipe the tears off his cheeks, Itachi noticed and his normally blank face frowned.
