So many reviews dazed do I deserve all these? tear Um, the updates might start coming a bit slower, because I hadn't planned much farther than that. I know what I want to do later, I just don't know how to get there. T.T
Oh, and no, Sasuke and Naruto didn't do anything other than kissing. Just because they're teenagers doesn't mean they're going to jump each other at the first opportunity. I am trying to establish that this is not a relationship based purely on sex and that would completely fall apart if they went at it like rabbits five minutes after their first kiss. So there.

Sasuke kisses Naruto, and then they engage in a snog fest (isn't that a fun word)
- - -End Recap- - -
They were still in the forest clearing, now lying on the forest floor, Naruto with his head on Sasuke's clothed chest, Sasuke fiddling idly with the blondes hair. Neither of them had said anything in a while, they simply enjoyed one another's presence. Suddenly Naruto leaped up, his face horrified.
"My mission!" he yelled, getting ready to run from the clearing, before Sasuke grabbed his wrist and tugged him back down.
"Uh, yeah, about that. . ." Sasuke said a bit sheepishly. "The Hokage had something that she wanted me to tell you."
Naruto looked him suspiciously. "And what would that be?" he asked, his brow raised.
"Um, she said that," his face gained the look he wore when quoting something directly "That 'there is no actual mission, Naruto just needed time to calm down'"
"She did WHAT?"
12121212121212121212121212
"Do you think they're okay?" Kyuubi asked worriedly. Itachi sighed, this was about the fifth time that Kyuubi had asked him that, and his pacing was starting to wear groves in the hard wood floor.
"Yes, Kyuubi-kun, I'm sure they're fine. I'm sure that my brother has told him everything by now." he said with his usual calm. Kyuubi's worried look dissolved for a moment, replaced by a mischievous look that fit him perfectly. It was amplified by that fact that his ears (which he had returned) were perking up from their drooped state. His plush tail was swishing back and forth, as it did when he was planning something.
"You know, Itachi-kun, what does this make us?"
"Um, what?"
"Well, if you're brother and my, well, I don't really know what Naruto is, I guess my friend are now snogging each other, what does that make us?"
"Well, I'm not sure that we'd be anything else, since you and Naruto aren't related by blood."
"Oh? I thought that it would make us a bit. . . Closer. . ." he said, his eyes gleaming with mischief. And they were very close eyes to. Itachi resisted the urge to move backwards, that would be admitting defeat.
"Closer?" he asked, relieved that his voice came out sounding mostly normal.
"Yes." Kyuubi replied jovially. "I think that I should be able to call you just Itachi, with no suffix. And you should do the same!" his grin was infecting, causing Itachi's mouth to tilt in response. He had never heard his name said like that. He loved the way Kyuubi pronounced it. He wondered of Kyuubis name would feel any different in it's less formal form.
"Alright, Kyuubi." he replied easily, a bit surprised at how smoothly the name rolled off his tongue, like it had been made for him to say it. He also thought he saw something shift in the Kitsune's eyes. He was vaguely aware that aforementioned kitsune seemed to be moving closer, or was that him?
"KYUUBI!" The door burst open, reveling Naruto, who looked, well, like Naruto. He looked almost mad, but not quite. The two of them sprang apart, a motion that was ignored, but not unnoticed by the blonde in the doorway.
"You planned it! Didn't you! You gave Sasuke that scroll? Didn't you?" he asked. Kyuubi nodded, knowing that there was no way to avoid it. Naruto moved closer, and Kyuubi flinched, waiting to be hit. But instead the blonde suddenly gave him a brief hug "Thanks." he said, and backed away.
Kyuubi blinked. So did Itachi. "So I'm going to assume that it went well?" the older Uchiha asked, though it was obvious from the almost blinding smile that it had.
"Well, I think it went well, but that's just me." came another voice from the door way and they all looked up to see Sasuke standing there, his arms crossed over his chest, leaning coolly against the wall.
"Oh?" Kyuubi asked, his curious side getting the better of him "What happened?"
Sasuke smirked and walked over to Naruto, wrapping his arms around the boys waist and resting his head among the blonde locks. "Nothing much." he said "We talked."
Naruto smirked "Among other things." he added.
"Mn." Sasuke agreed. Kyuubi and Itachi exchanged a look before both of them grinned. Well, Kyuubi grinned, Itachi just gave a sort of knowing smirk.
"What sort of other things?" they asked in unison.
"Oh, you know, things." Naruto replied. "What about you two? Been making any more plots at my expense again?"
"Oh, I don't think that it was all bad, now was it Naruto?" Kyuubi asked, nodding his head at the Uchiha who was still leaning on Naruto. Naruto looked up at the said Uchiha and grinned.
"No, it definitely wasn't all bad." he said, his eyes locked with Sasuke's. Sasuke nodded as well.
"I liked pretty much all of it." he agreed, his mind automatically flashing back to the thought of Naruto in that dress, and leaned his head down so that their lips touched.
Kyuubi and Itachi figured that it would be as good a time as any to back out.
121212121212121212121212
"Hey, Sasuke?"
"Yeah?"
"Who do you think we should tell?" Naruto asked, looking at the youngest Uchiha, who he was sitting net to on the couch.
"Tell?"
"You know, about us.'
"Well, I don't think that anyone would understand since you still hide behind a mask, and I don't want the villagers to bother you any more. So how 'bout we wait, alright?" Sasuke asked softly.
"Alright." Naruto said cheerfully. As long as he was with Sasuke, it didn't matter. Nothing else really mattered. There were a few more minutes of silence, before
"Hey, Sasuke?"
"Yes?"
"What do you think about your brother and Kyuubi?"
"What about them?"
"Well, they obviously like each other."
". . . If you say so, dobe."
"Sasuke! They do!"
"Naruto, you do realize who you're talking about? It's my brother. Itachi. He had no feelings. He's like, asexual."
"Highly doubtful, since I saw the way he was looking at Kyuubi."
"Alright, fine, lets pretend you're right and Itachi does like Kyuubi, what makes you think that Kyuubi feels the same?"
"You're kidding me right? The guy lives in my head, you think I don't know these things. And let me tell you, he's as bad as Ero-sennin. Worse, even, because he's been, as he puts it 'been sexually repressed in the body of a teenager who wouldn't know sex if it hit on him.' because, of course, the stupid fox can't say hit him, no he was to say hit on him."
". . .right." Sasuke said. Then it clicked "Wait, you mean?"
"Yes. That perverted fox, before he could get out of my body, ranted on and on about your brother, including images about what he would do to your brother, and tried to take over my body so that he could do these things to your brother. But now that he's gotten to know him, I think he really likes him, not just would really like to screw him."
"Please Naruto! This is my brother we're talking about!"
"So, he thought in my head."
"Fair point. So what the hell do you want to do about it?"
"Anything that will get the damn kitsune to shut up. And since I think that multiple people would abject of we just got rid of the problem, I say that we get them together."
". . .And why should I do that?"
"Sasuke, he turned you into a cat." Naruto said, as though that said everything. Sasukes face suddenly got determined.
"Alright, what do you want to do."
"Nothing big, I have a life you know."
"Could have fooled me." Sasuke muttered. Naruto hit him.
"Hey! Anyway, nothing big, just little stuff, like ditching them in the middle of dinner and such."
"And how would I be involved in that plan, exactly?" Sasuke raised an eye brow questionably. Naruto's grin flickered somewhat.
"Oh. I just sort of assumed, that you would want to, um, stay for dinner. But if you don't want it's fine, I really don'-"
"Naruto, calm down. I'll stay. I'd like to try some food that you actually cooked for me, knowing that it was me and not a cat." He smiled down at Naruto, who met his eyes and grinned back, nodding.
12121212121212121212121212121212
"My god Naruto! This is fantastic!" Kyuubi said, presenting everyone with a lovely view of the food in his mouth. Naruto grinned happily.
"Thanks. What do you guys think?" he asked the two Uchiha, who were both chewing very slowly. Sasuke swallowed all of what was in his mouth almost at once in his haste to answer.
"It's great." he smiled. Itachi nodded, not bothering to answer. He got the feeling that Naruto only really cared what Sasuke thought. After Naruto and Sasuke had finished, a bit faster than the ever hungry fox and Itachi, Naruto stood up, his plate in hand.
"I'm going to go clean up, come on Sasuke." he said cheerfully. Sasuke nodded and followed, carrying his own plate. When they reached the kitchen, Naruto dumped his plate in the sink and a clone appeared next to him and began to clean. Sasuke raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything as Naruto crept back to the door and peering in where Kyuubi and Itachi were sitting.
"Hey, Itachi, when you're not with the Akatsuki, where do you go?" Kyuubi asked. Itachi looked up, from his plate.
"Huh?" he asked. Kyuubi rolled his eyes.
"When you aren't terrorizing the innocent pedestrians, where do you go? Do you just stay in a hotel, or what?"
"Oh, I usually just wander off by myself. The Akatsuki don't travel in groups and it never really matters what I do. I only spy when I meet the others, other than that I'm on my own, since I got rid of Kisame."
"Alright, how 'bout you just stay here while you're just hanging around?" Kyuubi asked, sounding calm and casual, But Naruto could tell that he was nervous.
"You mean, like, move in here?" Itachi asked, his eyes wide. Kyuubi nodded, his face a but red, before he suddenly began shoveling food in his mouth.
"You know, this is really great. We need to make Sasuke stay here more often, Naruto never cooked this good for me, not even when I first got my body back."
"Yes."
"What?"
"Yes, I'll move in here."
"Really!" Kyuubi practically squealed. Itachi nodded. Kyuubi stood up, and glomped him, knocking both of them off their chairs. Naruto stifled a giggle as Itachi turned a shade of pink he had never seen before.
12121212121212121212121212
The loud rings of Narutos phone echoed through the apartment. Not even thinking about what he was doing, Sasuke picked up the phone.
"Hullo?" he asked.
"Uchiha?" came the voice of the Hokage. "Oh well, I'm sure that I even want to know. Where's Naruto?"
"Bathroom, I think."
"Oh well, when he gets out, tell him to get his ass down here, there's trouble."
"Like what."
"That's his business, but you can come to, if it's alright with him." The phone line went dead. At that exact moment, Naruto walked in.
"Who was it?" he asked, smiling at Sasuke.
"The Hokage, she says get down there fast." The smile dropped from Naruto's face.
"Oh, alright. You want to come?"
"Sure."
"Alright, I've led a squad with you in it before, but that time you didn't know it was me."
"You, I , what?"
"Oh, didn't I tell you, I'm the white wolf Anbu." he said, before grabbing Sasuke and both of them disappeared. (A/N: If the Naruto being the White Wolf idea has been done, I'm really sorry, but there weren't any other animals). Sasuke and Naruto appeared before the Hokage desk.
"Alright Tsunade-baachan, I'm here, what do you need?"
"You two have to go on a mission to The Lighting Village."
"Again. Wait, two?"
"It's actually a six man mission, but since it's you, and Uchiha, I'll only send you two."
"Alright. What do we have to do?" Naruto asked, his voice business like. Sasuke was still in shock. The White Wolf was Naruto. The hero of the village who everyone in Konoha loved and everyone from other villager feared, the one the called Nightblade, for the silent way he go creeping out of darkness and to darkness then return. He left no trace in passing, as if all who watched were blind, the night blade fighting, night blades rending, then into darkness once more blending, leaving only dead behind.
And he had, indeed, served missions under him. He had never guessed, never even suspected.
"Sasuke?" Naruto asked, waving his hand in front of Sasuke's face. Sasuke turned to look at him and was startled to see the mask that he already wore. "Come on." Naruto said softy. Sasuke nodded, he wouldn't be surprised by anything he saw that night, he had seen Naruto fight before.
1212121212121212121212
They returned from the mission two hours later, their captive in tow, the mission had been to capture a rouge nin who had been hiding in that village. Despite Sasukes decision to remain unsurprised, he had failed.
"How did you do that?" he asked Naruto, shocked.
"Practice, with a little help from my bloodlines." Naruto had said, stretching. Sasuke had almost stopped in the middle of the road.
"You have bloodlines?" he asked. Naruto turned around to face him.
"Of course I do, don't most ninja's?"
"I just."
"You thought that since I didn't have a family, I would have bloodlines?"
"Well. . ."
"It's alright, I thought the same thing actually, but Kyuu helped me."
"Oh. . ." Sasuke trailed off, not knowing what else to say.
"Hey, Sasuke. You want to come to my house tomorrow and train?" Naruto asked softly. Sasuke glanced over at him and could see that Naruto was mentally willing him to accept.
"Sure." he said, smiling a bit. "I'll drop by around 3."
"Alright." Naruto grinned at him. Sasuke's own smile widened a bit more and he bent over to place a soft kiss on Naruto's mouth.
"See you tomorrow, dobe." he said, walking into his own house, leaving Naruto standing in his doorway, a silly smile on his face, one hand touching his lips.
