Warning: Slash/ Yaoi/ Shonen ai

Pairings: It will be Itanaru, a bit of Sasunaru (NaruSasu?)

Disclaim: If I owned Naruto...(daydreams about N 17 contents)...

N.B: Naruto and Sasuke are both 22 in this story, due to the fact I dislike OC's there won't be any in this story unless necessary, I think there will only be one slightly OC character in this story (Kyuubi)…

Notes:

"Blah" Talking

'Blah' Thinking

Blah First Naruto's letter then Flashbacks...

Akatsuki - the organisation Itachi belongs to...

Kana (mentioned in the first Chapter) is Naruto was revealed here.

Naruto does not have black hair, it is Kyuubi who does.

If there are anything else please ask

Chapter II – Uzumaki Mansion?

"Kyuubi, you are so much like someone I know. I think you two will get on perfectly with each other..." The cloaked figure sighed, and finally turned around "...ne, Sasuke?"
He doesn't actually know what's happening....

The cloaked figure turned around and said his name the way which only one person ever said – damn cheerful and deadly annoying.

He swear he saw his life flashing before his eyes before Neji interrupted him with a loud "NARUTO!?"

Naruto, or Kana stood before them and smiled, the boy, which is now known as Kyuubi looked annoyed at this outburst.

"Are those for us?" Naruto pointed at the basket of fruit in Neji's hands.

Neji, who still hasn't recovered from the shock blindly nodded.

"Thanks, Kyuubi take them into the kitchen." The younger boy growled, his handsome features squeezed together and murmured something about getting Naruto later for this. Naruto laughed at that comment and turned towards his old friends.

"Come with me."

Sasuke, who is still holding the roses, followed Naruto into the living room.

"Make yourselves at home" he heard Naruto's smooth, casual voice.

By now Naruto took off his cloak and is wearing a rather strange top with many loose layers and knee length shorts, (which is rather like the ones the jounins wear). After Sasuke sat down, Neji nudged him and reminded him of the roses.

"Erm, those are for you?" said Sasuke almost unsure of what he is doing.

After all this is a surprise, the person who disappeared for 9 years turned up next door with a young boy called Kyuubi dressed in a Akatsuki cloak... can things get any weirder?

"Oh Sasuke! I never knew you felt this way!" Naruto said playfully whilst accepting the flowers. Ok, things just turned weirder... Naruto is teasing?

Neji was laughing badly now and Sasuke could feel the heat spreading from his face to his ears.

"Shut up dobe" it just came out naturally, 'damn' Sasuke thought to himself, he told himself to be nice to Naruto.

Last time when Naruto left he finally realised how important the blond was to him. He also swore to himself next time he will do everything in his power to keep the blond with him.

"Good to see that you haven't changed much, bastard." Naruto too, was laughing.

Neji was very eager to know what Naruto has been up too all these years, but he was interrupted when Kyuubi came in to the room and placed himself on Naruto is lap.

"Naruto-nii chan, it's getting late, I'm tired." Naruto sighed as he watched the Kyuubi giving Neji and Sasuke warning glares. This little thing is way to protective of him.

"Go to sleep then." He stroked the boy's hair, what seemed like a normal action to them, made them look like nothing less than lovers in other people's eyes.

Kyuubi cast winning looks towards Neji and Sasuke, especially Sasuke. He didn't like him at all 'he is the one who Naruto and Itachi-nii chan always talk about...' Kyuubi thought to himself 'he looks way to much like Itachi-nii chan to be safe'.

Kyuubi reached up for a goodnight kiss, Naruto gave him a peck on the cheek before shoving a growling Kyuubi towards his bedroom.

Naruto knows too well that Kyuubi wanted a kiss on the lips to piss off Sasuke and Neji for some unknown reasons. Naruto is once again, completely unaware Sasuke's eyes, which is now filled up with a thousand emotions- rage, hatred towards the little boy and jealousy.

After this Sasuke quickly said goodbye and dragged Neji out of the Uzumaki mansion. Neji noticed his friend's actions and let out a long sigh, before patting Sasuke on the shoulder and leaving for the Hyuga mansion.

'Let him know...before it's too late...' Sasuke stood in front of Naruto's door, alone, unwilling to leave in case Naruto would disappear again.

Even though he knows that this is highly unlikely, he still can't bring himself to move. Maybe, just maybe, there is a chance now that he is back...maybe...

TBC...

Author's Notes (it's boring...don't readed unless you want to be bored)

First thanks too all seven people who reviewed.

To Jenniyah: It's Kyuubi's hair which is black, Naruto kept his blond locks('cos I luv them).

To Lady A: Hehe, I like Sasu Ita rivalry too... and I love Naruto. I mean I don't mind SasuNaru, but ItaNaru is by far my favoured (although he is a crazy lunatical maniac...but who cares!). I might write two endings (one ItaNaru, one SasuNaru) to make everyone happy (if i'm not too lazy that is...).

To RuByMoOn17: Here is another short update, i know it's much shorter than the last one, but I need to do this for the story line (for once it's not a excuse for my laziness! I swear!)

To the one who doesn't have a name (or the "blank"): Itachi is definitely the seme (can't imagine him as anything else...), but I'm not sure about Naruto main Uke though... a bit NaruSasu seems nice...

To Night-Owl123: Thanx very much. Those reviews makes me write harder! Really (my computer keyboards are already complaining...)!

To itaru-fan: YAY! Fellow ItaNaru fan...(shakes hands). There are not enough of them around! I LUV Itachi and Naruto is automatically cute anyway.

To lilvietdevilgrl: First, funky name! Anyway, I luv ItaNaru too and I totally agree that there are not enough of them around! GOOD AUTHORS OUT THERE MUST WRITE MORE! (so that people don't have too read my crappy stories...sob sob)


pps. ) I recently saw on this forum that people think that new authors do nothing but copy story lines...

I would like to say on our behalf, that this is the biggest misunderstanding. Believe it or not, people write a story because they like the story line, not because they want to steal other author's fruit of labour.

I know how furious it might be to read the same story line over and over again, but some people (e.g. me) actually enjoy that because it is interesting to see how everyone develop their story from the basic story lines.

I started Stars because it has always been on my mind, ever since Sasuke acted like a complete asshole in the series (so pretty much from the beginning...). I really dislike Sasuke... sorry Sasuke fans. I don't mind SasuNaru, but I enjoy NaruSasu better... I hate those where Sasuke are completely in control and Naruto is acting like some sort of underdog, because Naruto isn't!

He has real potential, so stories like these shows how he would be if he developed that potential. However I'm not very good at writing training scenes, in my opinion only good writers can make that process less boring, so I just stuck to Naruto's return- after the acorn as grown into a tree.

I hope this doesn't bore you guess completely (I know it did! But hey, at least give me some sugar with the coffee.)

Anyway, hope you liked this and review if you have enough time. Constructive criticisms are greatly welcome (i'm actually surprised that I haven't got any flames yet...but I mean July is hot, so I suppose I don't need them heh heh).
