"What do you want with Naruto? Itachi."

"It's not what I want, it's what I need."

"What exactly do you mean?"

"The Atasuki require the Kyuubi, the nine-tailed beast."

"But didn't the Fourth Hokage defeat the beast?"

"Not exactly, the beast was actually sealed away."

"So what. This has nothing to do with Naruto."

"Yeah what does this have anything to do with me?"

"Foolish brother, I wasn't done explaining everything. Before the Hokage died he sealed the Kyuubi inside a baby and that baby was you Naruto."

"W-What! You mean there's a monster inside me!"

"Correct."

"Now that I think about it, everything makes sense now, why everyone neglects me. . . It's . . . it's all because of this demon inside of me."

". . . . Naruto . . ." Sasuke speaks softly as if feeling the pang of emotion rush in.

"The villagers never truly loved you, Naruto. Come with me and join the Atasuki. We will give you the love that they never gave you."

"No, don't listen to him Naruto."

"But what he's saying is true."

"No, there are people who care!"

"Who? Iruka? He doesn't really care he just wants to be with Kakashi and everyone was nice to me because they were assigned to me. They were ordered to be kind to me."

"Naruto-"

"What about you? You're just like them. You never liked me from the beginning. In fact, you hated me! . . . Let's go Itachi, I'm getting tired of this."

"Wait! Naruto! You're wrong! I, I love you!" Sasuke said blushing

"Stop, lying Sasuke it's not use trying to stop me."

"I wish it was a lie at first but I can't deny it any longer. I love you and not just as close friends but lovers. I want to hug you, kiss you, and do all sorts of things to you (btTara: yeah, like naughty things). I called you names because I wanted your attention. If I did it any other way it would seem awkward and . . . I was afraid that you would avoid me. If I knew that you've forgotten who I am then I would not have been mean you. I'm sorry. . ." Sasuke slowly walked towards the blond.

"Sasuke . . ." Naruto's face was redder than Sasuke's faced and could no longer look straight at the other's face.

When the dark haired boy got close to the blond he got on his knees and took the blond's hands.

"Please stay with me, Naruto."

'To think you'd do something so low, little brother. How pathetic. Even if you do get through to Naruto, in the end I always win.'

"You mean it?"

"Of course, I don't beg people to stay because I feel like it and I wouldn't careless unless it was you."

"I-" Naruto was cut off by Itachi. He apparently knocked Naruto out, started performing hand signals, and focused his charka on his hand. Then he put his hand on Naruto's forehead.

"What did you do to Naruto!"

"I just performed a memory jutsu on him. He'll forget everything that's happened to him in the past few days."

"So you did this to him!"

"So what if I did?"

"You're going to pay for this!" Sasuke launched at his brother without thinking. Itachi dodged the attack and kicked Sasuke sending him flying over the trees. Within moments Sasuke appeared throwing his kunai at Itachi, who grabbed the thrown kunai. The kunai was actually a bomb and explode right on contact with Itachi spreading smoke all around him. When the smoke was clear there was a piece of tree trunk. It appears that Itachi used substitution. Itachi appeared behind his brother and gave him a big strong blow which made Sasuke paralyze.

"Don't worry I'll take good care of him. Unlike you I didn't let him wander off into the streets like you did this afternoon."

"You mean you were with him during that time!"

"Yes, and he seemed to enjoy being with me more than you."

"Shut up!." Sasuke's yell woke up the sleeping blond

"It's too bad you are going to die here."

"No, Stop!" Naruto stood in front of Sasuke. "Don't kill him!"

"Why not?"

"Be-Because . . . I uh don't know."

". . . . . you don't know . . . . ." Itachi just got annoyed and was going to kill Sasuke. Naruto managed to push Sasuke out of the way but in return he receives the hit.

"Naruto!"

"Damn, wrong person!"

"Itachi, you bastard!"

"I won't miss this time." Itachi about to strike Sasuke but was stopped by Naruto again.

"I thought I told you. You can't kill Sasuke."

"Naruto, you remember me?"

"Of course!"

"Sasuke! Naruto! Are you alright?"

"Itachi!"

"Iruka, Kakashi."

"Hmph! Looks like I have no choice but to escape." Just like the wind Itachi disappeared without a trace.

"Naruto did he do anything to you?"

"No, I'm fine. I can take care of myself."

"He remembers."

"Really? Since when Sasuke?"

"Just now."

"This is great! Let's tell the Hokage!"

"No, it's too late. It's best to tell her in the morning. Let's just go to sleep now."

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea."

"Hey! Aren't you forgetting something!"

"Eh? Can't you move Sasuke?"

"No."

"Here I'll carry you on my back." Naruto grabbed Sasuke and put him on his back. "Man you're heavy." Sasuke didn't like being helpless and he also didn't like having his crush carry him on his back. He was blushing the whole way.

'This is embarrassing but it feels so warm and nice especially his butt. No! Don't think dirty thoughts!'

"Where's your house?"

"Just around the corner."

"Here? Wow your home looks nice."

"Naruto I think you should stay with Sasuke till morning just in case Sasuke needs something."

"Me?"

"Yeah, Iruka and I have some unfinished business."

"What? We do?"

"Have a nice nap you too." Before Kakashi left with Iruka he gave Sasuke a wink.

'Damn perverted Kakashi!'

"Sasuke which room is your room?"

"The one to the left." The blond set the other boy on the bed and put a blanket over him. Naruto then grabbed another pillow and blanket and decided to sleep on the floor.

"Sasuke."

"Yes?"

"What you said before you meant it right?"

"What did I say?"

"You said . . . you know what I'm talking about."

"No, I don't."

"You said that you-"

"I said, what?"

"That you loved me."

"I meant it. Do you think I would do something like that to anyone?"

"I- love you too."

"Naruto"

"Yeah."

"Come here." Naruto gets on the bed.

"You're to far away come a little closer." The blond moved closer to the other boy.

"This clo-" Naruto was cut of by a kiss from Sasuke. The kiss was sweet and innocent until Sasuke stuck his tongue and had a taste of Naruto.

"Um I think I should go back." Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hand and pulled him into an embrace.

"Why don't you just stay here with me?"

"You! I thought you couldn't move!"

"It was only for a while."

"Well I'm going home now."

"Wait! Don't go." Sasuke jumps out of bed and puts his arms tightly around Naruto. "Don't leave me now. I want to be close to you and I don't want to lose you. So please stay with me."

"Okay, I'll stay." Both boys cuddled into bed. The older boy had his arms around the other boy and kissed his forehead.

"I love you, Naruto"

"I love you too, Sasuke."

With the comfort and warm of each other, both boys quickly fell asleep under the full moon.


(bt)Tara: What do you think? I wanted to throw some ecchi (ecchi means perverted) stuff in there but I'm not that good of a writer yet. If you have any questions just ask me.
