Shikki's blabbering:
Gomen! It's really a long time from the last update. It's all because I lost the papers! I've written the story in my classes and stupidly scattered them somewhere when I was half done with it. Argh! Anyway, I made up the story. Please enjoy.
Warning: Usual stuff… Incest but NOT ItaSasu. Shounen-ai. AU. Bad Grammar and vocabulary.

Android-
Chapter 3: One after another
Sasuke stirred slightly in his bed. The warm morning sunray has passed through the window, made the dim room Sasuke had for bedroom lighten a bit.
Knowing that he has to wake up, Sasuke slowly sat up in the bed and rubbed his eyes. His gazed fell down on a cute little figure sleeping besides him.
He smiled at the sleeping figure of his brother. Naruto, even when he was not and never in his real body again, always looks like an angel. His blond spiky yet soft hair reflecting the sun like halo ring.
I'll do anything to keep his face peaceful like that.
Unconsciously, Sasuke put his hand and stroke his little brother's hair gently. The action caused the younger of the two awake from his deep slumber.
"Ohayou… aniki." Little Naruto rubbed his eyes just like what Sasuke did a few minutes earlier.
"Ohayou, chibi-chan." The said android moved his body a little only to cling at his elder brother's waist.
"Aniki… Naruto wants ramen for breakfast." The young blonde looked at his brother's face for a while still clinging to the waist.
At the sentence, Sasuke sighed with a desperate look on his face.
"No Naruto, you will have to eat something healthy today. We've been eating ramen for a week now. It's not healthy for both of us."
Naruto pouted a little, but said nothing. Even if he didn't look like it, the young kid was really cared about his elder brother.
A few minutes later, the two had been take a bath and proceed to the kitchen. While Sasuke cooked their breakfast, Naruto helped him prepared the table, though he ended up finishing the job with Sasuke's help.
It was only usual Japanese style breakfast. Rice with smoked salmon and misoshiru. Naruto ate them happily. Actually, he likes all sorts of things, as long as they are eatable. But what he like the most was Sasuke's hand made miso ramen.
After eating their breakfast, they went to Konoha Corp.
Noon---
"Professor Sasuke, Tsunade-sama called for you." Both Sasuke and Naruto looked up to a young ponytail woman stood in front of the door. Sasuke had been working on his newest project from the morning. He wondered what would be the problem that Tsunade want him to do.
"I'll be there in a minute." He stood up and started to walk off when suddenly he felt that someone was tugging at his scientist white coat.
"I want to come too, aniki." It was Naruto. The young blond has his pleaded eyes mode on and it made Sasuke felt hard to resist them. But work is work.
"No Naruto, I'm afraid you have to stay here."
"But I don't want to be left alone."
Before Sasuke could answer, the ponytail woman answered him.
"Excuse me, but Tsunade-sama also ordered you to bring Naruto along." She said. Sasuke did feel curious at the statement, but didn't say anything.
In the other hand, when Naruto heard the statement, he rejoiced and started to pull at his brother's hand. "Let's go, aniki!"
Despite the Konoha corporation was his birthplace, Naruto had never been allowed to visit anywhere except his examination room, Sasuke's room, and a few necessary rooms like toilets and canteen.
"Come in.," a sweet voice behind the door answered the ponytail woman's knocking.
They opened the door and saw a young blonde woman sat behind a desk full of paperwork.
"Tsunade-sama, I bring Sasuke-sensei and Naruto-kun like you asked me earlier." The young woman bowed slightly. Sasuke followed her example and bowed at the sight of Konoha's number one person. Naruto, on the other hand, hid himself between Sasuke's legs.
"Thank you very much, Yuka-san. You may leave now." With another bow, Yuka dismissed herself, leaving Sasuke, Naruto, and Tsunade to talk privately in the room.
"Have a seat, Sasuke-kun, Naruto-chan."
Sasuke took a chair in front of Tsunade's desk, while Naruto sit on his lap because the he didn't want to separate from his brother.
"Is that something you want me to do, Tsunade-sama?" The raven-haired teen asked his superior politely.
"Yes, I want you to do something for me." She stopped at the sentence. She seemed uncertain to ask, so Sasuke asked her.
"And what is that something?"
Tsunade let a long sighed and resume her sentence, "The Akatsuki Company had asked my permission to came here and see Naruto." She nodded at the boy sitting in his lap.
"Literally, the council had agree to let them come and see, and they pointed you to be the guide."
Sasuke thought for a moment. Did he heard right? Akatsuki was one of the biggest multipurpose companies. He was assigned to guide them?
"Will you accept the job, Sasuke?" Tsunade asked him politely, the good supervisor, after all, always cared about his or her subordinates.
With a firm nod, Sasuke answered a yes and the conversation end there, leaving both him and Tsunade satisfied.
One thing they didn't see, little Naruto was having strange expression in his face. The mention of Akatsuki made something within his mind stirred restlessly. It was as though the name has something important meaning but that something he couldn't remember. He didn't say anything to Sasuke and Tsunade though, afraid that he would ruin what they have planned and make them thinking something unnecessary.
The next day, Sasuke woke up earlier than usual and take long shower. He almost couldn't sleep last night, since today he would get some rare occasion. Akatsuki was once his dream, before he lost Naruto. But that dream than shattered due to Akatsuki tradition to hire person only from the few chosen clan. His clan was not included.
Humming slightly, he made breakfast, which was ramen and went to his room once again to wake up his beloved little brother.
"Chibi-chan… wakes up." He sat on the edge of the bed and shook his brother's shoulder a little.
"Unnn… Anikiii…. Five more hours…." The young blonde said without opening his eyes. Not even a second after, he was drifted back to sleep.
"Chibi-chan, you have to wake up now, or I'll get late to work." He said again, voice soft.
"Still sleeepyyy, anikiiiii…." He whined a little before go back to sleep.
A vein plopped in Sasuke's head. This was going nowhere, he thought. Naruto never acted like this before. Sasuke felt that strange, but said nothing. Well, if Naruto didn't want to wake up, he'll regret it.
Slowly, he roused from his place and crossed his hands over his broad chest.
"Oh, well. I see that you don't want to wake up, Naruto. What a waste though, and I've cooked you Aniki's special tempura ramen." He said sounded disappointed.
As expected, Naruto sit up and quickly ran into him.
"Don't aniki! Naruto wake up now! Please don't throw the ramen!" He hugged Sasuke's legs tightly and almost made the older boy stumbled.
Sasuke smirked a little before patted his younger brother's soft hair.
"Okay, I will not throw them, but now you have to hurry and take a bath, before the ramen get cold and I have to throw them for real." He said.
A minute later, Naruto sat on the dining room and slurped happily at his ramen. Sasuke briefly wondered to himself how fast his little brother could be when it was about ramen. Maybe his brother had some abnormalities towards ramen, or his brother just addicted to ramen that he would do anything to get them now and then. Either way, it was fun to see his brother slurping happily at his ramen bowl with smile on his cute little face.
At the Konoha, Naruto went straight to the examination room like he usually did for daily checked up. He was the first android ever made after all, and Konoha didn't want to lose him sooner or later. By doing this daily check up, they could control the state he was in.
As for Sasuke, he was doing some final preparation on his room before the Akatsuki scientists came. He made sure that he leaved none behind and what he should explain to them. After what's like eternity to him, finally he was called to greet their guest in the lobby.
"Good morning." He said warmly. Akatsuki sent only two people, but both looked so intelligence and that made Sasuke afraid that he would make himself looked like a fool.
"I am Uchiha Sasuke and I would accompany you since Tsunade-sama is on a business trip today. She was deeply apologized." It was going to be alright. He said to himself.
The first man, a pale and snake like man smiled a little before answered his greeting.
"Ah, thank you for your hospitality. I am Orochimaru and this is Kabuto." Somehow, he thought that he had heard that voice somewhere long ago. But he couldn't recall it. "So, you're the Uchiha Sasuke that made the android?"
Sasuke didn't know why, but hearing the voice made him shiver involuntarily. But he can't let them see that though. He was with the owner of the famous Akatsuki and he bet that the young lad following him was a genius too.
"Yes, I am."
"Oh, I have heard that you are still young, but I never thought that you will be this young of an age." Orochimaru said with amazed tone.
Sasuke smiled a little. "It was nothing compared to you, Orochimaru-san." He said politely. "Now, please follow me. I will take you to Naruto."
"Naruto?" Orochimaru confused. "The android's name is Naruto?"
"Uh… yes…" Sasuke answered them as they walked. "Actually his name is J-8817. But I preferred to call him Naruto. It's more…. comfortable."
Orochimaru said nothing. He walked slowly behind Sasuke, following his guide. An evil smirk started to form in his face.
"We're here." They stopped in front of a wooden door. There was a metal plate that has "Ore-sama" carved on it, the letter was like a child's handwriting.
Orochimaru smirked a little. This was going to be fun.
"Please come in." Behind a door was a kid's room. The wallpaper was blue and green with a lot of plane, ship, and car drawing. It's so ordinary, except for sets of examination instruments that were set in the far right of the room.
In the middle of a room was a blond haired little kid sitting on what like dentist chair. Cables were attached to the small blonde's body as he sat quietly, half asleep.
"That's Naruto." Sasuke said proudly.
Orochimaru said nothing at first. He was quite surprised.
"I thought he was your brother." The snake man said.
Sasuke looked at him in confusion. "How did you know my little brother?" It was his first time seeing this man for crying out loud! The man wasn't supposed to know anything about him, yet.
"Oh, well…. Someone told me that you have a little brother and shows me his photo." Orochimaru said casually. Sasuke relaxed again.
"Naruto is not my brother, at least not related by blood. My real brother is… dead eight years ago." He said quietly, looking at the little blonde in the middle of the room.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Orochimaru reply.
"No need to. It was my fault anyway."
There was thick silence after that. Each has their own thought. After a while, Naruto who has finished his morning check up ran happily toward Sasuke.
"Aniki!" The little boy hugged Sasuke's pant in a bear hug.
"Naruto, are you being good?" Sasuke ruffled his haired and smiling.
"Yes, aniki. I'm always a good kid." Naruto chirped happily. "Who are these people, aniki?"
"Oh, yes. I forget to introduce you." He stood up again and continued. " Naruto, this is Orochimaru-san and Kabuto-san from Akatsuki. They're here to see you. Now greet them."
"…Nice to meet you…" He said quietly. This was rather strange, since Naruto never said things quietly; he is always a loud little boy.
Orochimaru reply the greeting and started to talk to the youngest of the four. "Nice to meet you, Naruto-kun." He kneeled eye level with the blonde, smiling mysteriously.
Naruto quickly hide his face behind his brother's legs.
"Sasuke-kun, did you mind if I check on him?" The snake like man still looking at Naruto while spoke to his brother.
Sasuke thing for a while, he was curious. "And why is that, Orochimaru-san?" The snake man looked up at Sasuke and raised his eyebrows.
"Well, isn't it obvious? I want to check on him, of course with your permission, Sasuke-kun." Sasuke said nothing, just nodded a little.
The test when fast and in another ten minutes, Orochimaru was ready to go back. Sasuke said his goodbye and they parted. Little that Sasuke knew that life soon would be just another hell, for him and his brother.
Shikki's zone:
This chapter sucks…. I don't hate it, but 'm not proud of it too…. Exam was just one week ahead and maybe there'll be another weeks (or month) with no new chapter. After all, I'm not the smartest at the school, even if I want to be one, Hehehe…. Review please. If I get enough, maybe I'll get better idea faster. It's my source of energy. Hehehe
