A/N: Hello, hello everybody! I'm glad to say that writing is becoming easier by the second, but I can't say I'm putting out anything worth...anything yet. The point is, I am going to get back in the hang of writing, starting now. This said, I don't really have any other comments, so I'll thank my reviewers now! Today's treat is Layer Dessert, which I know no one has ever heard of, but trust me when I say...yum.

Red Rose: I'm glad you didn't think it sucked too bad....but then again, I've just realized how hard it is to suck, even that badly when you've only written like half a page. Heh. Oh well. I know Itachi is a bit over the top, but hey, He's Itachi right? His job is to torment Sasuke and Naruto endlessly. Heh. Anyways, thanks for reviewing, here is layer dessert!

cheeseboi: No, my mysterious disease isn't deadly, and I am feeling better. Now I just have to do my crap loads of make up work. Oh well! And yes, I rather enjoy writing Bitch! Itachi. He's so cool...-dreamy eyes- Ahhh...is every body in the Uchiha clan just sexy? Oh wait...don't answer that. I already know the answer. They are definitely the sexiest men alive! (Except they're not alive, but whatever.) Heh. Anyways, after that long little ramble, thanks for reviewing, and here is your layer dessert! Enjoy.

Ari: I know your review was actually for chapter 26, but whatever. You're welcome for the picture. I loved it too! Glad you liked it. Here's your layer dessert (since I'm not really thinking of anything to say right now...heh)

Hieisbestbuddy888: Meep! Two reviews! I'm so excited, and yes that second name is very cool –is pretending she actually remembers what it is- Damn my short term memory loss, I just read it like five seconds ago! Oh well. Congrats about your Latin test, I JUST took my first one this year....and then I got it back and I was like "Oh goody, I can't even pass if I get all the quarter points I can back from test corrections!" Go for me and my whopping 51...heh, anyways. How was that news coverage, anyways...-doesn't watch the news- Any fun angel stories? Thanks for the extra review too, I love reviews...and I'm only like thirty away from three hundred! Yay! Also, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one in the world who loves a bunch of characters they know almost nothing about! Haha. Anyways, I'm rambling. Thanks for the two longest reviews once again! I love you! Here is layer dessert and an ice cream Sunday since you reviewed twice! Enjoy.

Angel Ran: I gotta tell you, UI burst out laughing when I read your review! I was like in the middle of class, and the teacher was like, "What the hell?" I guess the term "bust into pedophile mode" gets me. –is still sniggering days later- As for the "Sasuke defends Naruto's Honor" thing...it was supposed to be WAY more fluffy than that, but I just couldn't write. Heh...I was kind of forcing myself, since I hadn't updated in so long. But I feel better now, and even if I can't write anything good yet...I'll still enjoy the process! Anyways, thanks for the review, and here is your layer dessert!

Aurum: thank you for the well wishes for me...AKA the burn in hell wishes for my writer's block. That sucks about the contest thing...I hate it when stuff like that happens. I kinda liked the way I did Itachi. I guess I always viewed him as a fun little pervy guy...at least in AU fics! I love him! Heh heh, thanks for the review! Here is your layer dessert!

Kyuubi-kun: Ahaha! I want to kill the fangirls as well, but alas, you can't have a Naruto fic without the Sasuke fangirls there to create tension between our two pretty boys. Voices in your head are great, they keep you company when no one else is around! As for speeding Itachi...well, what can I say but...mmmm....Itachi. Anyways, thanks for reviewing, glad you liked it. Here is your layer dessert.

Kaijuu-Ed / BigBlackDog: I am definitely aware that Itachi wears nail polish all the time (how could I not be when I think it's so completely and utterly sexy)! And I love him as an evil perverted bastard. As for the cute little end, it was supposed to be far fluffier, but alas, my mind would just NOT cooperate. Heh, oh well. Thanks for the review, here is your layer dessert!

Third Degree Run: Hmmm..now that I think about it, that is a kind of hilarious image, isn't it? -is sniggering- I hope you realize that I'm now going to be laughing at myself for the next week. Gah! I really don't think it's my fic's fault about your imagination... As far as I can tell you people all have quite vibrant little minds. –puts on superior look- I am so much better than all of you. –looks at self in the mirror and realizes what an idiot she looks like- Oh god! I'm such a dork... Hah. Anyways, glad you liked, and please don't take me seriously...that is don't take me seriously until I'm giving you layer dessert...which is now!

Gabbi-chan: Yes, I am quite partial towards Itachi and Sasuke, although I must say...I like them no matter what they're doing (that is, everything except for kissing Sakura). Ahh they are beautiful. Anyways, glad you liked, thanks for reviewing! Here is your layer dessert.

Half-Devil: Glad it suck too bad, and I'm glad I made you laugh. Thanks for reviewing, and did I say that I love your name? No I didn't. –clears throat- Ahem. I love your name! that said, here is your layer dessert!

AlterEthereal: Aha! Yes indeedy Itachi is a psychotic crazy man...and he looks damn fine doing it to! As for the wiping out his entire clan thing...well, there's a price to pay for super awesomedome...heh I fully agree with the whole "Sasuke is the only one allowed to say (or participate in) anything that contains the words 'Naruto' and 'striptease' in the same sentence" thing. Yes indeedy! Anyways, thanks for the review (and the cookie). Here is your layer dessert.

JeT101: You have just read my mind! My friend told me it was a crappy idea to have Itachi hitting on Naruto, but I said, "Wouldn't Sasuke being jealous be cute, though?" She just looked at me like I was an idiot. I would have done it anyways...but now I have a reason to give Sasuke competition! Woo Hoo! I'm glad you liked the way I did Itachi...I kinda liked it myself, though I wasn't sure what everyone else would think. Thanks for reviewing! Here is your layer dessert!

Yugi-obsessed: I did take a while to update, didn't? Heh, oh well. Glad you enjoyed the chapter. Thanks for reviewing and here is your layer dessert.

Riyo-sama: Yay! I'm glad you thought it was hilarious...I guess if I had been thinking at all while writing it, I probably would have meant it to be that way. As for your question...you're welcome. I love talking about...what your question was about. –doesn't really remember what the question was- Heh...who am I kidding, I have memory problems. I would go back and look, but I'm quite lazy, so I'll just say, you're welcome for answering it! Anyways, thanks for the review. Here's your layer dessert.

Kali Swifteye: What type of personality? Pervy bitch? Heh...I'm glad you like it! I fully intend on giving Itachi his part in this story, don't you worry! I was little hesitant at first because my friend said it was a bad idea...and then I realized, I don't give a damn what she thinks! Ahahahahahahaahaha! -is slightly maniacal- Ahem...anyways! I'm glad you like Itachi. Thanks for reviewing. Here is your layer dessert. Enjoy!

nitaice: Wow! That's high praise, I'm honoured. As for the pics, I must say, I'm not a porn girl myself...that is unless it's written and virus proof...I have nothing against a good sex scene in a story...but I don't get enough out of pictures of naked people having sex to waste time downloading them. Ha ha! Wow, that was a weird little thing. Anyways, I'll get those pictures to you by the end of Monday...maybe sooner. And I'll read your fic, but I can't promise a review till Monday, cause my connection is often too weak for reviews! (I mooch off my neighbors, since I don't actually have an internet connection...I'm such a bad person.) So, anyways, glad you uliked, and thanks for the review. Here is your layer dessert!

Alrighty then! That's everybody. Well...there were some people who reviewed chapter 24...but I'm too lazy to respond to them! Hope you guys got the pics okay! As for everybody else...Thanks to all of y'all for your well wishes and reviews! And here is chapter 28! Or is it 27? I think its 28...isn't it?

But Home Is Nowhere...: To Anyone Who Will Take Me To Heaven

Naruto could feel his jaw slowly making it's way toward his lap as the blurry scenery outside the window began to change. He'd known Sasuke was probably a little better off than himself, but, hell, he hadn't even realized their town was large enough to have buildings that big! The houses they were currently flying pass were three and four stories each with garages and porches the size of Naruto's whole house, and the deeper they went into the neighborhood, the more massive the homes were getting.

It wasn't until they were in the very center of what seemed to be a group of palaces that Itachi slowed the car and turned down a driveway long enough to be a road. Naruto suddenly felt very foolish with his tiny little four room house, and he knew he must've looked like some sort of head case, with his eyes wide, and his mouth hanging ajar. But what could he do? That house was the largest building he'd ever seen in his entire life.

"Naruto!" The blonde's mouth snapped shut as he turned to look at a seemingly disgruntled Sasuke. "Let's go inside."

Naruto nodded numbly as he opened his door and tumbled out of the Porsche. Sasuke had already gotten their things from the trunk and was holding two of the bags out for Naruto to take. "Is it really that bad?" the Uchiha sounded a bit agitated as Naruto retrieved his duffel and backpack. He suddenly felt bad for gaping, so he smiled brilliantly and gave a cheerful,

"No! I've just never seen such a big house before! I think I might get lost."

Sasuke just shook his head, walking toward the door with his own bags slung over his shoulder. "It's not too bad once you get inside. I only ever go in three or four of the rooms, the rest is just useless."

Naruto fell into step next to Sasuke and followed him into the house, trying his best not to let his mouth fall open again when they stepped into the entrance. Instead, he just kept walking next to Sasuke as they made their way up the stairs. Naruto couldn't help but notice that the walls were completely bare, a stark white, contrasting brilliantly with the rich, dark carpet. He almost sighed in relief when the other stopped at the end of the hall and opened the door to an admittedly large, but comfortable looking room.

The walls were a dark blue, almost black, the floors a sleek, cherry, hardwood with rugs thrown everywhere. There was a bed pushed against the center of one wall, and it was just as huge as everything else in the house, covered in what seemed like hundreds of blankets in varying shades of blue. Naruto smiled. It was a mess, too. The sheets looked tangled and the comforter was tossed to the end of the bed, there were probably twenty pillows thrown all over the place, and on the floor was a rather massive stuffed animal. Naruto couldn't tell what species it was, but if he had to guess, he would've said fox.

From there, he noticed a desk with papers strewn all across it and a computer as well as a stack of at least a hundred CDs. His eyes were busy marveling at the black lace draped across the ceiling (1) when he heard a quiet, "What do you think?" coming from behind him.

He turned slowly to Sasuke, allowing his gaze to drift over the several posters plastered across the walls as he did so, and smiled brilliantly. "It's wonderful!"

3333333333333

Sasuke dropped his bags on floor then, unable to keep from smiling. He had been afraid Naruto would think it was stupid, or too big, or, well, he didn't really know, but he'd been afraid the blonde wouldn't like it. His room was his space, and it would have felt like some sort of character flaw if Naruto had thought his room unworthy. "Thanks." He couldn't believe he sounded as relieved as he did, but then again, he also couldn't believe he'd cared that much in the first place.

"I like your ceiling." Naruto was looking up again. "How did you get it to stay like that?"

Sasuke looked up at the waves of lace that covered his ceiling, making the black paint behind it invisible. "I used a staple gun, and I stapled each layer at different places so the parts hanging down would cover the staples."

Naruto nodded, and looked back at him. "That's cool."

"Yeah, I thought so."

"You know, I was kinda freaking out when I saw your house, but this room is like my new favorite place. Makes me wish I'd have thought of doing that." He'd quit looking at the ceiling now, but his hand was now pointing straight upwards, and Sasuke thought he looked a little ridiculous. He didn't know why, but Naruto's look of complete and utter detachment from his hand was causing him to laugh. And within five seconds, he was on his knees, clutching his side as he cracked up for no reason whatsoever. Perhaps he'd just been a bit more nervous about Naruto seeing his space than he'd thought.

3333333333333

Naruto, for his part in all of this, stood there looking supremely confused, still unaware of his pointing, and unable to process any viable cause of laughter. "What?" he asked innocently, causing Sasuke to look up at him, gasping for air.

"I...have...no...idea...why...I'm..." he collapsed on the floor, shaking still and finally seemed to get himself under control. After a few seconds of breathing he finished his sentence, "laughing." He was plopped on his back on the floor snow angel style, and looked up at Naruto sheepishly. "I guess I was just relieved you didn't hate my room."

Naruto stood right above Sasuke, looking straight down at him, "You," he declared, "Are one of the weirdest people I have ever met!"

"Yes, well, I'm only as weird as you are." He slowly pulled himself up and turned to Naruto. "And besides, you only love me cause I'm weird!"

He had a point there, didn't he?

TBC...

A/N: Okay...stupid scene...oh well. I know this is a dumb place to end, too, but I am going to go watch Yuu Yuu Hakusho now, and I know I won't keep on writing when I come back, so I'm stopping now. And as promised, it's longer (though still stinkily short) and within two days of my last post. I know it wasn't very good, but I hope you liked it a little. The chappie title is from "Like a Stone" by Audioslave. Good Song! Anyways, thanks for reading.

1. Okay, I read this in a book one time, and I thought it was the most awesome thing in the world, and I want to do it to my room, but my mother won't have any of that, so I decided to do it Sasuke's room. I know it sounds weird, but I just thought it was the dandest thing ever. So, yeah.
