Alright, here's the last chapter. It's a bit different from the others. First it's Naruto's POV, then Sasuke's. Then Naruto's again, then the alternate Naruto's POV. I'll update this story when I have the pictures.

Chapter 11: Reunion
--- (Naruto POV) ---
I shove whatever is tugging lightly on my hair, intent on staying asleep curled up in Sasuke's bed. Whatever it was doesn't come back, so I relax and burrow further down into the warm blankets, sighing contentedly.
Groaning, I turn my face as far as possible when I feel something hot and wet on my cheek, but it simply follows my movements and slowly trails across my cheek, heading for my mouth. I shut my eyes even tighter and move my shoulder across my cheek. I hear a small chuckle from right above me.
When the wet thing decides to shove itself in my mouth, my brain finally decides to become fully functional and the first thing that goes through my mind is: Itachi. I instantly roll over on my back from my side and shove the body off me, wiping my mouth. "Can you stop molesting me, you pervert?" I yell.
He just grins at me lazily and gets up from where he landed on the floor. "Otouto asked me to wake you up," he says, looking at me innocently as if that was the most obvious thing in the world.
I narrow my eyes at him dangerously; this Itachi is nice and all, but he's worse than Kakashi I fear. "I'm really sure Sasuke said, 'Itachi, go stick your tongue down Naruto's throat and wake him up, will you?' What time is it, anyway?" I huff, sitting up and stretching.
"Eight-thirty," he says, and it looks as if he's going to continue but I immediately jump up from the bed.
"What's wrong with you! We're late for school, what the hell!" I run out of the room, ignoring Itachi's calls for me to come back, and run straight into Sasuke, who is on his cell phone. "Are you blind!" I screech from my spot on the floor.
Sasuke winces and rubs the inside of his ear, and mutters a, "Yeah, see you in an hour," into his phone and hangs up. "We're not going to school today. We're going to the beach," Sasuke says simply, walking into the room. "So get ready."
I ignore him and follow him into the room, confused. "The beach? Why?"
From where he is, with his head buried in the closet, he says, "Because, you're here, and I'm pretty damn sure you won't be here this time next year. So I'm going to make sure you have fun before you go." Returning with a white tank top, he sees my face and grins. "I didn't tell them that though. Everyone who went to the party last night is going."
Itachi leans against the wall, staring at me in a kicked-puppy way. "Where are you going, Naruto-kun?" Sasuke and I exchange glances, and I nod to let him know he should know. If I don't, he'll find out the hard way when the other Naruto comes back.
Sasuke and I sit on the bed, leaving a space between us for Itachi to sit. When he doesn't move, I lean forward and drag him down beside me. Instantly his arms wrap around my waist, but I just roll my eyes.
Wanting to get this over with, I simply blurt out, "I'm not from this world." Itachi pulls away to look me in the eyes, then he snorts. Then completely cracks up laughing. I feel my left eye twitching. He stops the moment he notices how dead serious I am.
"Not a different world exactly. Just…a parallel one. I live in the same city, go to the same school with the same people, but the people themselves act completely different than what they do here. The Sasuke I know is broody has a stick up his ass constantly, and to put it simply wants to kill you." It's Itachi's eye that's twitching now at the last part.
"I'm not staying in this world forever. The other Naruto and I will switch back to our real lives soon." I can't help but have a sinking feeling in my stomach, but I ignore it. "So let's have fun and go to the beach."
I get up off the bed, not giving Itachi the chance to speak, and head to the bathroom. I stop in the doorway. "By the way Sasuke, don't let him wake me up. Ever." With that I go to get ready.
---
By the time all three of us arrive at the beach, everyone else has already arrived. We're the only people on the beach, mostly because of the fact that it's sort of hidden. As we lay our towels on the sand, a few girls boldly walk over and flirt with Itachi, who is now blonde again and depressed.
Coolers with drinks and tables stacked with food sit under the shade of some trees, along with a small crowd hovering there eating and talking. Ignoring the food for once (there's no ramen, anyway), I strip my shirt off and head to the water, feeling Itachi's eyes on my retreating back.
Sasuke catches up to me, his shirt gone as well, and glimpses back at his brother. "How did he wake you up anyway? I asked, but he just shrugged and got depressed. As you now see."
I frown, looking over my shoulder at Itachi as well. As usual, our eyes instantly meet and he gives me a half-hearted smile, ignoring the girls. I wonder if he even noticed them yet. Turning back to Sasuke, I roll my eyes. "First he pulls my hair, and when that doesn't work he licks my cheek then shoved his tongue down my throat."
Sasuke barely chokes down a laugh, and I playfully punch his shoulder, starting to laugh along with him. "Well, it got you up didn't it? As long as it worked." I stick my tongue out at him, and when we're waist-deep in it I splash him as payback.
This results in a war between us, with me ducking under the water to avoid some of the shots. A few minutes after we started our war, Sasuke stops and looks behind me, giving someone an apologetic face.
"What?" I ask, curious. Before I can turn around however, a hand wraps around my throat and yanks me backwards against his chest. I manage to turn my head slightly, and I recognize the blonde-tipped man I sat next to at the party last night.
He tightens his grip, with me trying to claw his hand off, and I hear someone splashing towards us yelling for Albel to stop. Probably that blue-haired guy. Albel just sighs and growls, "Splash me one more time, you'll regret it." With that he releases me and shoves me forward to join his friend.
I stand next to Sasuke, rubbing my throat and glaring at his back. "You have some violent friends," I hiss.
Sasuke shrugs, staring at my throat. "I never even saw him before. I don't know everyone that's he-" He's interrupted by a giant inflated ball, which lands a foot away from us and splashes us.
A guy with short black hair makes his way over and gives us this huge smile. "Sorry about that."
"It's fine," Sasuke and I chorus, getting some of the salt water out of our eyes. Neither of us move an inch, since the guy that came to get the ball just stands there, arm wrapped around the ball, and stares at me.
I look around, getting nervous under his gaze. "Do you want something?" I ask, glaring at the guy. He just blinks and smiles again, staring at my bare stomach. I hope he's not another molester like Itachi.
Not bothering to meet my gaze, he just stares at my stomach and says calmly, like he's talking about the weather, "You seem like the kind of guy that has a small penis."
Sasuke's mouth drops open, and I just stare at the guy for a while. Before I can recover and beat the weirdo to a pulp, Sakura and Ino yell over. "Sai! Hurry up!" With one last smile, acting as if he didn't say anything out of the ordinary, he's gone.
We stand there for a moment, watching Sai go back to the waiting people, dragging the ball along. I take in a deep breath to calm myself down so I won't follow him and make it look like he 'accidentally' drowned. "I'm going to get something to eat," I mutter. Sasuke just nods in agreement, silent, and follows me out of the ocean and to the food tables.
Itachi comes up behind me while I'm piling doritos onto my paper plate, and puts his hand on my shoulder. I don't say anything about it, since I gave up trying to get him to stop. "What was that about?" he asks, frowning in confusion.
"What was what about?"
"That guy with brown hair and blonde tips. And the black-haired one with the giant beach ball."
I feel myself getting angry against, just thinking about the latter. "The first guy has anger management and was about to strangle me for me and Sasuke splashing him. The second guy just has issues."
"What'd he say?" he prods.
I turn around and step closer to Itachi so no one else would hear. "He said I seem like a guy who has a small…" I pause and grind my teeth together, getting pissed off all over again. Itachi seems to have gotten it, though.
"Well, do you? Can you show me?" I reply by shoving him into one of the open coolers, and a few girls who saw it start to whine and cry about it. I roll my eyes and walk over to Sasuke and sit beside him, munching on my doritos.
Itachi joins us a few minutes later, and we stay like that for an hour. Friends stop by to talk, and we have a small discussion about Kiba and his new girlfriend, Sarah, who were currently playing frisbee with Akamaru.
I notice Itachi's eye starts to twitch, and I follow his gaze and soon enough my eye is twitching as well. Sasuke looks at us in confusion, then he notices Sai walking towards us and his eye starts to twitch. The dorito in my hand is demolished.
"Having fun, Naruto-kun?" he asks, shoving Itachi aside and sitting down next to me, practically on my lap. Why is it me he's talking to?
"I was," I growl, glaring at him and hoping he'll get what I meant and leave. He just smiles in his annoying way, unaware that his good health is in danger, since both me and Itachi are close to causing him serious injury.
"Do you need more chips, Naruto-kun?" he offers, glancing at my plate. I look at my plate as well, and I didn't notice that I crushed them all with my hand. Wordlessly, I shove the plate at him, planning to get away while he's gone.
Sai smiles again, and heads for the food table. As if reading my mind, Itachi and Sasuke grab my arms and drag me across the beach to a clump of trees, and we hide behind those. Itachi possessively wraps his arms around my waist, my back against his chest. Sasuke snorts.
After a few minutes, I take a peek behind the trees at the food tables to find Sai gone. I breathe out in relief. "He has problems. I don't know why he's talking to me f-"
"Naruto-kun." Slowly, as if in a horror movie, all three of us turn our heads to look behind us, hoping the smiling black-haired boy behind us holding a plate of doritos is a figment of our imagination.
We just stare at him, while Sai stares at me, oblivious to the other two. "Naruto-kun," he whispers, for reasons I don't know why. Without warning, he takes a huge step forward and his face is right in front of mine. "Let's go to the movies Friday."
I feel my eye twitching again. "Um…no. And how do you know my name?"
He just smiles again, his face still right in front of mine. I grab Itachi's wrists to keep him from hitting the weird guy, even though I really want to, too. "I hear your friends call your name. I'll pick you up at six." With that, and another smile, he walks off. With my doritos.
I let go of Itachi's wrists so I can tackle and kill Sai, only to be restrained by Sasuke. Watching Sai get further and further away, I turn to face Sasuke and Itachi. "You two are coming with me Friday."
---
It's six o'clock Friday evening, and all three of us sit on the couch, looking gloomy. Iruka isn't home once again, he never usually is. He doesn't seem to give a crap, unlike the other Iruka.
Someone knocks on the door, and we flinch and get up to answer it, already knowing who it is. I still don't know how he knows my address. I open the door, revealing Sai in a tight black t-shirt and pants, smiling.
"They're coming with us," I growl, making it clear that it's final. He doesn't say anything, just smiles, and looks over my outfit. Which is jeans and an orange hoodie. Itachi once again has blonde hair, and he seems to be getting sick of it.
Itachi and Sasuke get in the back of the car, but before I can slide into the passenger seat Sai grabs my arm and yanks me back up, leaning towards my ear. "You didn't have to wear such a baggy hoody, Naruto-kun. Even if you get an erection, no one will notice." Before I can yank his heart out and shove it down his throat, he smiles and shoves me inside the car.
I feel myself shaking with anger, and I'm not aware of Sasuke asking me what's wrong, I'm so pissed off right now. I'm surprised I didn't lunge at him the second Sai slid into the seat. He gives me another innocent smile before he starts the car.
---
We walk into my dark house, tired out from the awful evening. For me, anyway. Sai made three more cracks about my small penis, as if he'd seen it, and then tried to kiss me outside the theater. Itachi took care of that fairly quickly.
We lay on the couch watching tv for a few hours, my head in Itachi's lap and feet in Sasuke's. Even though he's really annoying and perverted, stroking his fingers through my hair was soothing.
Around midnight, they decide to wake me up from my half-awake half-asleep state to go home. "I'll be over tomorrow afternoon," Sasuke says, one hand on the doorknob. I just stare at him, a bad feeling running through my whole body.
He just gives me one last smile and starts to close the door, but the feeling that I'll never see them again wins over. "Wait!" I practically yell, throwing the door back open and Sasuke with it.
I grab Itachi's shirt and hug them both tightly, never wanting to let go. I want to see Sasuke again, but I've grown to love these two like brothers. I know Itachi doesn't love me like a brother, but oh well.
Finally letting go, I back away and force a smile on my face. "Night…" I whisper. I guess the bad feeling is contagious, because now they're staring at me as if they shouldn't go. I sigh and wave, and I thought Itachi was going to molest me again, but I guess he controlled his urges.
Itachi disappears out of the house, and Sasuke and I just stare at each other. I'd feel really stupid if I wake up tomorrow and I'm still here, but I know that won't be case. We both know it. "Bye," he says, before he shuts the door and is gone.
--- (Sasuke POV) ---
"You're awake!" is the first thing I hear, and a blonde boy smiling gently from above is the first thing I see. I groan and sit up, feeling a slight pain shoot through my stomach and left wrist.
"Your wrist is broken. I'm just glad you're alive," he breathes, his eyes huge. I shake my head, letting the memories of what happened come back. I look at Naruto, then around the hospital room.
"What day is it?" I ask, my voice slightly hoarse. I clear my throat, and lean back against the bed.
"Thursday afternoon…" Naruto answers, looking like he wants to hug me. I just glare at him; I know it's a mean thing to do after he's been worrying about me, but I'll be forced to kill again if he hugs me. Wait…kill again?
"Naruto…" I pause, taking a breath to steady myself. "Did I really…Itachi…?"
He nods, studying me carefully. "Yeah…how's it feel?" He blushes slightly. "I mean, do you feel like trash, or do you feel like your revenge is complete? You won't have a lust for killing now, will you?" He chuckles nervously.
I snort slightly. "Like revenge is complete. He deserved what I gave him, especially after what he did to both of us." Naruto just nods, silently agreeing. A doctor comes in, smiling politely.
"I'm Shizune," she introduces herself. "How do you feel?"
"My wrist hurts. And my stomach," I mumble. "When can I leave?" I glare at her, hoping for her to cower in fear under The Uchiha Death Glare.
She smiles and chuckles, at my impatience I guess. "Hopefully tomorrow. Your stomach will hurt for a while, that's usually the case when someone shoots you." She laughs again when I glare at her, and walks out of the room.
By a few hours, word had somehow gotten around that I was awake and now my room is filled with squealing, crying girls and other visitors. I pretend to be asleep, but even that doesn't stop them from talking to me until the nurses shove them out. The only two left now are Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi.
Sakura is crying, too, but surprisingly enough she wasn't one of the ones screaming and gabbing on and on to a 'sleeping' person. "Sasuke, you can stop acting like you're sleeping now," Kakashi says, his stupid Icha Icha Paradise book tucked under his arm.
The pink-haired girl chuckles softly and looks down at her feet. I groan and sit back up, looking at the three of them. Kakashi rolls his eyes, Naruto's asleep, and Sakura is now looking straight at me.
"Sasuke, I'm sorry for calling the police that one day… If I would've known that man was your brother, I wouldn't have. I guess I kind of understand your reasons for not telling anyone about what really happened, who killed your brothers. I was just…scared…I thought you were going to die." She's looking down again, a few tears rolling down her cheeks.
I clench my fist, wondering how she can be so selfish. "Sakura, did you even worry about Naruto?" I ask, barely keeping my voice neutral. But I'm staring at her, my eyes colder than usual.
She bites her lip, and shakes her head quietly, ashamed of herself. I let out a sigh. "Stop obsessing over me. It's pointless, and there's no way I'll be interested in you. Any of you. And it's disgusting how all of you are such bitches to Naruto, simply because 'he might take me away from you.'" At the shocked look on her face, I can tell she didn't know I overhear them talking. "I'm not deaf," I sneer at her, continuing to glare.
Sakura nods and stands up, letting out a shaky breath, trying not to start crying again. I ignore her and lay back down, my back to the three of them. "Sorry, Sasuke-kun," she whispers, and I hear her leave the room.
I hear Kakashi stand up. He hasn't said anything during that whole exchange, and I don't really care. "Sasuke, I'll be seeing you tomorrow at home."
"Hn," I grunt, and I stiffen up when his hand ruffles my hair playfully. He's lucky I'm in bad shape right now. After he's gone, I turn back to around to look at the sleeping Naruto. I frown slightly, wondering how the real dobe is doing.
---
I'm stretched out on the couch, my feet in Naruto's lap, but I'm too tired to do anything about it. He's taking advantage of my tired and sore state by making me watch that ninja anime again.
The main character and the really broody guy are annoying, though. It's obvious they like each other; they should just shut up, stop competing or whatever, and jump in bed already. But no, they're both idiots.
"What's wrong now? You're frowning," Naruto snickers, and I just glance at him quick enough to shoot icicles at him. He's not affected.
"I'm going to head home. Since I care so much about you-" damn, still not affected, "-I'm going to bring the homework you need over tomorrow. We can also practice for the play."
"Hn," is the only sign I give him that I heard him. He chuckles once again, rolling his eyes at me, and he's gone. I stare at the tv screen, my eyes drifting closed. For some reason, I can't wait until tomorrow.
--- (Original Naruto POV) ---
I groan and try to get away from the sunlight streaming through my window, but I remember Sasuke's going to come over. Sitting up, I yawn and stretch, remembering last night. God, that Sai guy is weird. He might be stalking me too, but he's just scary. And pisses me off, what's with him and talking about my penis?
I know Iruka's still sleeping, since I hear light snores coming from his room. I get dressed and boil some water for ramen, still trying to wake up. Glancing at the clock, it's noon already. Sasuke should be here soon.
When two hours come and go, along with three packets of ramen, I walk out of the house and over to Sasuke's to see if he's okay. He's probably still sleeping; he does that sometimes.
I stroll right in without knocking, and the first thing I see is Sasuke sitting on the couch, watching tv. "Everything okay?" I ask, walking up behind the couch to peer down at him. "Where's Itachi?" I look around, seeing no sign of his perverted brother.
Sasuke shifts over to his back and glares up at me, frowning. "You're late. And I killed him," he sneers, as if it's obvious.
I raise an eyebrow and chuckle lightly. "Did he put green hair dye in your shampoo bottle again?" Sasuke stands up and just looks at him, and scoffs.
"Shut up. Where's the homework?" he asks, sitting down on the arm of the chair now, looking at me expectantly.
"What homework? And why didn't you meet me at my house? That's what you said." I shrug, putting my forearms on the back of the couch.
Sasuke just mutters and rubs his temple with his hand, and I hear him mutter, "Usuratonkachi."
I don't think about why Sasuke is acting like my Sasuke, and I don't think when I practically shout, "Shut up, teme!" It just seems like the most natural thing to do. At the same moment, it seems, we both freeze, realizing what happened.
Sasuke turns to stare at me, not glare at me, but just stare incredulously, his eyes full of shock. "Naruto?" he whispers, and I only gawk back before I manage to nod. After that, we go to the pier to talk about what the hell happened. Sasuke told his story first, then I did.
"Itachi almost killed us?" I whisper in shock. Sasuke just nods, and I murmur, "I'm glad you got your revenge at least, baka. I'm sure Naruto's in for a shock when he goes over to Sasuke's," I laugh, thinking about his face.
"So in your little parallel world, Itachi is friendly, but perverted?" Sasuke asks, raising his eyebrow. I hope he doesn't get pissed at me for being friends with him, but the two Itachis are completely different.
"Yeah, he tried to molest me every chance he got. In the closet, when I'm sleeping, in the kitchen…" Sasuke snorts and I can't help but crack up. I will miss those guys, though. But it feels so right to be here.
"Why didn't you stay?" Sasuke frowns, and I look over at him, confused.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, it sounds like you really like this other Sasuke and…Itachi," he narrows his eyes, glaring at the water. "Much nicer than I am to you. So why are you back?"
I stay silent for a few moments, looking away from him so he won't see the blush on my face. Like I can just up and tell him I never really stopped loving him after all these years. I stand up and shrug, forcing myself to laugh. "I don't know. I'm going to visit the others."
A strong hand clasped my arm before I had gotten to take two steps, and I turn around to see Sasuke glaring at me, his whole face demanding for an answer. "Why did you want to come back here to us?" he asks again, more quietly.
I don't even bother to force on a happy face this time, I just look at him. "You really don't want to hear the answer, Sasuke," I whisper, yanking my arm out of his grip. I start to walk away again when he yanks be back again, perhaps a little too hard. I lose my balance and trip over his foot, and instinctively groping for something to catch my fall, I grab Sasuke's arm.
We both emerge from the water, coughing and spitting, me feeling like the hugest dumb ass ever. "Sorry," I mutter, turning to climb my way out of the water. To my surprise I'm yanked down once again, but this time Sasuke just gave up on using words.
His lips capture mine, and he holds us above the surface by gripping onto the ground behind me. After my shock wears off, my eyes close and I tangle a hand in his hair, pulling him closer and kissing him back.
He nibbles my bottom lip, his free hand gliding its way down my torso, under my shirt. I gasp, and immediately his tongue slips between my lips, massaging my own tongue. I fight back a moan, but fail, and Sasuke presses himself even more against me.
His tongue slips out of my mouth and his own mouth moves down to my throat, nipping, sucking, and licking. This time I don't even bother to try not to moan, I just claw his back desperate for something, while his other hand works on my chest and nipples.
Sasuke gives my throat one last lick, before he just breathes against it, his hand now running over my stomach, chest, and back again. We stay like that for a moment, and then I decide to just tell him. "I love you," I murmur, my eyes closed. "I always have."
He just nods, still breathing hard. "I love you, too, dobe," he whispers in my collarbone, his voice husky. I chuckle, happy beyond belief, but then the moment is gone.
"Wow…" A voice murmurs, and we both look up on the pier to see a small crowd of people watching us, a few desperately trying to stop the blood flow from their noses. I blush. The hell?
Sakura, her face red as well, grins. "Sorry. I saw you two, and I went to go get some friends, and word got around." Now is the time where she yanks the hair out of my head and clobbers me to the brink of death.
"Congratulations," she says, and that's immediately followed by a few happy squeals from the Sasuke Fan Club. She offers her hand to us, and I grab it and lift myself up, bending down again to help Sasuke. He still hasn't said anything.
I don't let go of his hand, though, and he doesn't seem to mind. He tightens his grip. "Thanks Sakura-chan," I say, looking away from her and everyone else.
"I'm sorry Naruto-kun," she says, and I look at her to see her eyes filling up with tears. She really means it… I grin at her, ready to start things fresh with everyone I hadn't gotten along with in the past.
"Everything's fine now."
--- (Parallel Naruto POV) ---
I knock on Sasuke's door, his homework and script in hand, but there's no reply. Waiting a few more minutes, I decide to just walk in. He might get pissed at me, but if he doesn't want me waltzing in he should answer the door then when he knows I'm coming over.
"Sasuke?" I call out, and I get nothing in reply. I guess he's still sleeping, not that I blame him. He did just get out of the hospital.
I walk down the hall and to his door, swinging it open. Sure enough, there's a lump on the bed and I softly snort. Walking up to the bed, I hit Sasuke lightly over the head with the script. "Wake up, we gotta practice. You can heal or mope or whatever later."
Sasuke turns around to face me, and I swear my heart stopped beating. At the least I know I stopped breathing, because I passed out.
---
"Naruto-kun, are you okay?"
"Naruto?"
The two voices keep repeating my name over and over, and I groan and sit up. I swear I just saw Itachi in Sasuke's bed, but he's dead. I'm hallucinating, just great. I look up to see…Itachi.
"HOLY SHIT HE'S GOING TO FUCKING KILL US!" Not even stopping to think why Sasuke was sitting on the floor so calmly in his boxers, his hair wet, I grab him and run out the door.
I'm immediately tackled from behind, and I expect a knife in my heart or bullet through my head any second. Instead Itachi just seems content to lie on top of me. Sasuke crawls out from under me and glares.
"The hell is wrong with you?" We stare at each other, and I think over things. Itachi's not dead, he's here. Hugging me. Sasuke isn't glaring daggers at me, he seems concerned about my mental state.
I push his brother off me and launch myself at Sasuke, unable to stay calm this one time. "Sasuke, it's me, Naruto!" I can feel Sasuke stiffen in surprise, and I hear Itachi take a sharp intake of breath behind me.
It takes a while for him to register what exactly happened, but he's hugging me back and now we're sitting on his bed, talking about what happened to each of us. Itachi seems sad that his parallel him is such a cold-hearted ass, and that "he'd never hurt Naruto-kun or Otouto."
"So…Naruto-kun isn't coming back?" Itachi asks, gazing at the wall sadly. We shake our heads, and he wordlessly gets up and leaves the room, closing the door behind him.
"I still don't know why how he became so obsessed with Naruto," Sasuke mumbles, curled up in my lap. "I noticed him staring at him a lot, and then after a while he just molested him."
I chuckle nervously, and Sasuke seems to notice. "Don't worry; you may be Naruto, but not Itachi's Naruto. Much like I'm Sasuke, but not Naruto's Sasuke. Does any of that make sense?" I ask, and we both burst out in laughter.
"I feel…bad for him, really," I whisper, talking about Itachi. Sasuke just nods his head.
"I hope…Naruto fixes things with Sasuke. Unlike us, they didn't keep their promise to stay friends forever. But both of them never stopped loving each other."
"I'm sure it will…what about us?" I whisper, glancing at Sasuke and then sighing, relaxed. He sits up, and I look at him, confused. He just gives me a small smile, leans towards me, and kisses me gently on the lips.

Alright, that's the end. This is a longer chapter than the others. XD By a few thousand words lol. Anyway, I feel bad for poor Itachi. Makes me want to a NaruIta one-shot. Please leave a review, and I'll begin working on my next Naruto story, called Wants and Needs, really really soon. Here's some info: It's not AU, and I quite haven't decided on the pairing. Either it'll be Naru x Saru, or Naru x Sai. Please let me know what you guys want, since I can't decide lol. Hope you enjoyed this!
