Chapter Eleven

That's What You Get Fallen Again

Disclaimer: I don' own Naruto, I don't own Sasuke, I don't own anything, actually, since I'm a minor and

I have no legal rights. I do, however, like writing, so...that's how it all goes, y'know?

Notes: Finally to the interesting part! Wow…I'm hoping to make this one longer than the others do, just

cause it's that torture thing that I really like. I think there's going to be major OOCness, but if you've

been reading this you'll have figured it out by now.

Does anybody even read these things? I could put a lemon up here and no one would ever notice, nope.

/Crying out, Sasuke gasped as he was gripped tightly by his one and only love… / See what I mean?

Outside of the two story, modest house, a little boy squated over an ant hill with an ash grey cat, a stick

in hand as he carefully picked up the black buggers. Behind him, sitting in the shade of the house, a blonde

man in an over sized long sleeve shirt sat and watched him. Though they looked little alike, you could tell

that they were blood related, but you'd more assume them brothers than father and son.

The little boy wore a pair of large shorts, faded denim, and a red T-shirt with a swirl in the middle of the

front. His hair was held back with a hankerchief, but strands still seemed to excape and fall to obscure the

bright blue eyes of the youngest Uzumaki...and Uchiha.

Naruto, the blonde, smiled distantly at his son. The prior day had worn him out, made him feel years older

than he'd already felt, and he now looked pretty haggard, wearing on oversized long sleeved white shirt and

his nlypair of jeans, faded, torn.

The little boy had noticed, ever perceptive, but had left his father alone to whatever it may be, because he

was pretty sure that whatever it was that was bothering his dad he couldn't help with no matter how much he

tried.

Inside the house, looking out through a small kitchen window, the closest thing that Naruto had to a parent

was making lunch. Iruka the first, a darkly tanned man with chocolate eyes and chestnut hair in a T-shirt

and his normal pants, felt for once at a loss as to what to do about he curent situation. Part of him wanted

to go and make sure that Sasuke couldn't father anymore children, but his other part wanted to comfort Naruto

to the point of babying him.

Kakashi had stopped by earlier to tell Naruto where he could sign in, only to meet of with /Mother Iruka/

as he'd dubbed it. iruka, once he was sure that Kakashi wasn't going to somehow make the whole mess worse

(not sure /how/ mind you) he'd had a cup of tea with the silver haired scarecrow and basically vented the

past few days frustrations to the other teacher.

Iruka would never admit it, but the silver haird man had been a god send since Naruto had dissapeared. A

kind of vent that he could use...as long as Kakashi didn't bring that damned Icha Icha Paradise...

"Ne, Iruka-chan, they'll bite you if you stay there too long!" Came the deper voice of the twenty-one year

old.

A yelp, and then the sound of jumping and yelling was heard. Apparently Naruto's warning had been only a

second before the attack. Iruka-sensei smiled, before finishing putting he food onto the plates and setting

them on the table. "Naruto! Iruka-chan! Lunch!"

The door opened not a second later, Naruto with the little crying boy in his arms. Naruto gave him a quiked

brow at the situation while heading to the bathroom, and Iruka smiled slighty; even if Naruto wan't the same

as he had been seven years ago, some things never changed.

Just as Iruka set down the tea, a hesitant knock came to the door. Frowning, Iruka whiped his hands with a

towel as he walked to the door and opened it. Standing there, a determined look in his face, the last of the

Uchiha clan stood in black pants and a dark blue shirt. Iruka's first thought was to close the door and go

back to lunch, but a giggle from inside the bathroom from his grandson stopped him.

"Uchiha." He said it coldly, this was the man that had caused so much grief to Naruto...

"Iruka-sensei." The younger man bowed carefully. It was lower than he'd ever done to the teacher, which

caused Iruka to raise a brow. Had humility finally gotten through that ego, or was he trying to get on

Iruka's good side?

A second later, the bathroom door opened, the spitting image of Sasuke laughing in Naruto's arms as Naruto

made a funny face at the boy walking out and turning to the kitchen. Sasuke moved forwards a step before Iruka

glared at him, slapping a hand against the wall palmwise to block an easy entry into the small house. The

noise, however, caught both Uzumaki's attention and they turned to look at Sasuke and Iruka.

Their reactions were very different. Iruak-chan's eyes widened and a look of fear and recignition shown

across his eyes. Naruto looked...for the most part sad but also apprehensive, holding tightly to his son as

his son clung to him.

"Naruto..." the Uchiha's voice wasn't angry, wasn't cold...for once it was desperate, as if this was the

absolute last time that he may be able to...to what Iruka was not sure, but Naruto seemed to get some

understanding. "Can we talk? Please?"

Naruto was about to reply when a higher voice, that of a child, replied. "No! Your gonna take daddy away

from Iruka, not like you did before!" The voice was desperate and angry. Sasuke had the desency to look

ashamed and guilty at that, it must have been like a punch in the gut to have your own son say such things

about you, but he knew he deserved it.

The only blonde turned to his son, "Iruka-chan...this is someone that I know. he was doing his job before

when he...when he brought me back here." He looked over his shoulder at the downcast man...he was angry at

him, but more ashamed at himself

Naruto smiled reassuringly at the dark haired little boy. "Daddy has to talk to him, Iruka-chan..." At the

little boys frightened expression he brushed the black hair out of his face lovingly. "We'll stay right

outside the window that you can see from the kitchen, okay? So you can eat your lunch and see me all at the

same time, okay?" The little boys eyes were tearing up, but he nodded. After years of his father having to

work hard, he'd developed a very strong following habit of his fathers commands, no matter how much he may

not agree at the time.

Naruto smiled, relieved. He focused on Iruka-sensei and the relieved Sasuke, before carrying the little boy

into the kitchen and sitting him at the table and brushing a hand through his hair carefully.

"I want you to know that just because your eating with Iruka-sensei I expect you to eat /all/ your vegetables

before /asking/ for dessert, got it? If I find out you skipped them..." his voice grew menacing, "I'll tickle

you till you beg me to stop!"

The little boy put on a smile, even as his eyes glared at the slightly uncomfortable Sasuke who had followed Iruka-sensei into the small kitchen. the two Iruka's settled into a tense lunch, while Naruto opened the

door to the small backyard and walked out, Sasuke pulled from his slightly dazed reality at looking at the

boy...his /son/...they looked so much alike...how could he miss the resemblence?

Outside, Naruto sighed. "So..."

A tense silence fell between the two of them, the cacadas chirped in the summer heat, shadows spread across

the lawn. Sasuke looked at Naruto, the man that Naruto had become. Naruto should have been about five inches

taller, he'd always been short, but Sasuke at 5'8" knew he'd been lucky to reach that size, but Naruto should

have been bigger. He wasn't muscular, he seemed to be underfed and dehidrated by the pallor of his skin.

Naruto, however, was lost in his own thoughts, Gods above how Sasuke must be angry at him... he wouldn't

be surprised if the older man decided that he wanted to floor him, which he had every right to do,

Naruto would floor himself if he were Sasuke.

Sasuke frowned. "I'm sorry, Naruto. I'm sorry...about how I acted, that you couldn't tell me seven years

ago..." He sighed, "I shouldn't have left you there last night."

Naruto turned and looked at him, almost not believing him. "You're not mad?" he asked.

Sasuke chuckled, "A little, but mostly directed at myself. As we've both already established...I can be a

bit short sited and unable to grasp things like this too easily." Black and blue eyes met, "I shouldn't

have been such an ass-hole."

Looking at Sasuke he frowned. It couldn't be that simple...not after years of dreading all of it. Naruto

frowned, "You didn't do anything...er, well, anything I wasn't concenting too. I'm the one who is the

idiot of this whole thing."

The father of the little dark haired boy who was watching them shrugged his dark blue clothed shoulders.

"I think I'm at fault, you think you are...it's in the past. I...don't want to make a repeat of it and

spend another seven years trying to find you."

Naruto smiled, genuinly smiled, this felt like such a soap opera...ah hell. "I would rather fight Gaara

than do that again." He looked at the glass slightly, seeing Iruka-sensei trying to distract the little

boy with conversation. "i missed you, Sasuke. Everyday it hurt to be away from you, every time I looked

at Iruka and saw a little reflection of you; if no harm ever came to you then I'd have been content with

that simple life."

"So...where do we go from here?" Sasuke asked, uncertainty lacing his words.

Naruto smiled a little bigger, "I still love you...gods above, how I missed you...so, wherever we go from

here is better than going back to trying to avoid you at all costs."

Sasuke took a step foreward, now only a mere few feet from the man he longed to hug, "I..I never stopped

loving you, and I'm willing to do anything to get you back." He paused, "Naruto, can we go back to what it

was like before?" He asked.

Naruto shook his head a little, seeing the falling look in his loves face at the action, "We can't go back

to before, but we can go forward from there, and with a little boy who talks to cats and looks more like you

than any child has a right to enjoy it with us."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow before opening his arms invitingly, the blonde rushing into them and standing on

tip-toe to kiss the lips of the man he'd spent many a night and day remembering what his lips tasted like.

No memory could compare to the real thing.
