Pairings: It will be Itanaru, a bit of Sasunaru (NaruSasu?)
Disclaim: I don't own it…but I think most people get the point by now…
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)...
"Blah" Talking
'Blah' Thinking
Blah Flashbacks...
Akatsuki - the organisation Itachi belongs to...
If there are anything else please ask.
(P.S. Does anyone know how to get a good spacing and no always just one line of space?)
Chapter VI – Sounds of a summer's night
The summer nights always had a cooling effect. The heat during the day evaporates into nothing and gives the night a cooling and yet warm breeze.
Naruto sat on the roof, staring at the moon. He has, believe it or not, developed an indescribable liking towards the warm summer nights and the cloudless sky, dotted with numerous stars.
For other people Naruto is never a sit-quiet-and-do-nothing person and no one would ever associate him with the night. In Naruto's mind, nothing is better than a starry summer night with a cool breeze and the sound of all the nightly creatures creating their very own orchestra.
He has always been described as the sun, fire, energy, day…
Maybe people do look for complementary qualities when finding a friend…or a partner for life.
The exact opposite to Naruto…
Naruto smiled as he remembered this question…
------Flashback------
It was another summer's night and as they say, the stars are shinning bright.
"Itachi, have you seen that girl?" Naruto nudged the elder boy next to him, his chin pointing towards a pretty girl who was winking at them. "I think she is looking at us! She is pretty hot."
Itachi eyed the girl with a cold glare and watch her return to her crowd of friends who are giggling like mad 'Yea, she better go! Damn woman, destroying a perfect evening…'
"Ne, Itachi, Isn't she your type?" Naruto said as he watched Itachi's I'm-gonna-kill-you-if-you-don't-leave-now glare. "I thought you liked blonds." 'Since the way you keeps on touching my hair…'
"What gave you that idea?" Itachi has generally warmed up towards the blond and now act like a normal human being around him. This, to Naruto, is probably his greatest accomplishment. If only he could get the younger Uchiha to act like this…then his mission will be complete!
Itachi watched Naruto drifting into his la la land again. He didn't like that feeling at all. It felt as if the blond was seeing something through him. "Naruto,wake up. You haven't answered my question."
"Ha ha, what was the question again?" Naruto nervously eyed the increasingly annoyed Itachi and did his trademark action – right hand is moved behind his head, roughing his blond locks.
"…" Itachi looked away into the sky, he knew who Naruto was thinking of when he drifted into his la la land, or better to say – memory lane. Sasuke…he was the one Naruto was thinking about. Sometimes Itachi hated that he looked so much Sasuke…
"Itachi…Itachi…Itachi…Itachi…Itachi" Itachi started to walk out into the forest until they reached a piece of clear land surrounded by ancient trees.
Itachi sped up the trees and Naruto followed him closely. As they reached the top of the tree, Itachi sat down on the almost flat areas created by the net of leaves and branches.
"Shut up!"
"He, I wouldn't until you tell me what's wrong!" Naruto flashed one of this fox like grins and continued the mantra. "Itachi…Itachi…Itachi…"
"…"
"Ita…"
"I was just thinking about how you always look at me and think of someone else." Naruto's chanting was cut by Itachi's words.
Itachi turned away once more towards the sky. The flies are still trying to reach the last bit of light from the moon. For they do not know that the soft rays by the moon exist only because of the sun.
"Hehe, I think someone is getting jealous…" Naruto said half heartedly, not taking Itachi seriously. Of course Itachi almost never crack jokes, but you know what they say stoic Uchihas don't usually crack jokes but if they do they are gonna be the best…right?
"I am" Itachi, to Naruto's surprise gave a more than natural response. Itachi was looking down at Naruto with a seriousness that could make anyone believe anything he says.
"…" Naruto found it hard to turn away from the beautiful black orbs starring at him and only him. "I…"
"Don't say it…" Itachi wrapped his arm around Naruto, light as a feather and looked away again. Naruto could have sworn that he saw the Itachi blush. But he decided to remain silent…
That was the first special bond they shared…on a summer's night.
------End of Flashback------
"Definitely the opposite of me…" Naruto sat quietly on the roof, the air is getting increasingly chilly and this time there isn't an Itachi to bring him a warm blanket…
"Where the hell are you… stupid bastard…"
The next day the sun was shining bright, as usual. And Naruto was all ready to go, for today is a very special day.
"Kyuubi, lets go! You are gonna be late for your registration!" Naruto shouted, God! Why has no one told him having a younger brother could be so annoying…?
"…" Kyuubi slowly made out of the bathroom, with bloodshot eyes and extremely pale skin. "Errr…you know one of those days when you just feel like hell. Well I'm having one right now…"
"That might be because you ate 10 plates of cakes, 50 cookies, numerous sweets, 20 bars of regular sized chocolate, 5 lollipop, 30 small sized chocolate swee-"
"Ok ok! I know I had too much ok?" Kyuubi looks as if he was going to throw up just about now and… he did.
"Right… You can clean that up yourself." Naruto made a disgusted face, sure Kyuubi is like his little brother, but this doesn't mean he is willing to clean up vomit for the boy.
"Then I'll miss registration…"
"I don't care…clean this or else…" Naruto gave him a warning look-Itachi style. He was never good at discipline kids. That was always Itachi's job, Naruto is more about the fun and games, where as Itachi is more like do-this-now-or-else creepy smile (if he is feeling generous…).
Naruto watched as Kyuubi dragged himself into the first bathroom. Maybe he was too hard on the kid?
"No Naruto! Think like Itachi! The kid needs discipline! He carries the Uzumaki blood, well to some extend anyway…" Naruto tried his best to turn away from the scowling sulking Kyuubi. God, the kid doesn't know how easy he just made this for him by scowling…
"Anyway Kyuubi, you'll have to move in with Hokage Sama. They will least likely to look for you there and the Hokage tower has many Anbus guarding it." Naruto said to Kyuubi while he packed the kid's lunch – Miso Ranmen (that's the only thing he can make…)
The young boy nodded, the Itachi-style discipline method is working!
"And you will be entered into the Ninja Academy, to reduce suspicion." The boy nodded again.
"You will introduce yourself as Sasuke's long distant relative." Kyuubi's head shot up, to be that boy's long distant relative? Kill him now!
"Now I know what you are thinking, but the Hokage and me think that this is the perfect plan! Since you look a lot like him."
"Well" Kyuubi finally finished scrubbing (and sulking) and walked towards Naruto "I suppose a plan formed by a idiot and an old lady is gonna help me…"
"DAMN Brat!" Naruto felt his bloods shoot up to his head and before he knew he was chasing half heartily after Kyuubi. "Get dressed! We are going over to Sasuke's!"
When he caught Kyuubi, Naruto tickled him and threatened to put him in a zoo before kicking him some more. After all what do they say?
The essential way to start a day is with some healthy excise…

Author's Notes
TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY so this ramble goes on for quite a bit, skip to the end if you just want to read the reply to your reviews.
Hmmm… Lately I've been extremely distracted. I keep on having this dream of my ex and me. The fact that we live in different countries made our relationship quite impossible (exactly why we broke up), but that doesn't stop us from meeting in the dreams…(man that sounds soggy…)
Then I meet this freaky guy during Ice-skating – the guy is a damn stalker! I was so freaked out, but I think he's got the point that I don't like him now… (After days of rejection, he still came up to me today n elbowed me, so I pretended I don't know him…)
To make sure that that freaky guy properly laid off I tried the automate thing (that was after telling him I have a boyfriend (which I don't at the moment), avoiding him for 4 hours yesterday, asking a big gang of mates to scare him etc etc) – by chatting up another guy.
Part of the reason was because I quite like this guy too… but everything was going well n' then he just said "See you around." And skated off! I mean what's that suppose to mean?
Sometimes boys are so annoying and the freaky guy just made me want to get back together with my ex (I mean now I know how freaky some guys can be…)
Silverbluenchantress: Thanks, although if I don't know if that's a positive comment or not… but I'm always a glass-half-full kinda person
Weaver of Shadows: Thanks, I was gonna update sooner, but I did get distracted… reasons are stated above…
Unknown: Yes yes, I'm very familiar with laziness myself n thanks for the extra reviews
Night-Owl123: Here is as ASAP as I get… I know I'm lazy (sigh)
RuByMoOn17: Thanks… I was actually quite unsure about last chapter, I mean it was short and had almost no character interactions (except from kyuubi and Naruto…)… it's always good to see other people appreciated it.
NayaH: Hi, here is the next chapter and I love ItaNaru too it really does it for me
SaLLy11: Heh heh, you will be surprised… but I'm not going to add any more OC's I don't think… maybe except from Naruto's grandfather, unless anyone have any suggestions about a stubborn old man?
Cleo: Naruto is looking for Itachi, remember what Naruto said at the end - "Fox we are lucky that I have some of Itachi's Chakra..."
Plur: That was pretty confusing, but basically Naruto used a Jutsu which can search for someone's chakra for miles and miles to find Itachi.Thanks for the compliment on the Jutsu, it took me ages to think of the right one
Ok people, nine reviews! A new record Cheers everyone, best Birthday present ever (that and chocolate- hint hint nudge nudge)
Anyway I was gonna update earlier, but then I thought it will be better if I posted on my B-day.
AND I'm serious about that question, I need a lot of people's views on the See you around bit…
