Thank you everyone you're all so generous with these nice reviews, I am glad your enjoying it so much.

The positive response I got from this fic is really exciting, I am happy you're still reading Broken Heart and Dark side too!

On with the chapter.

There were some things that Zabuza Momochi was not comfortable with.

First is to be called Za-chan; by the neighborhood children, it made him even more uncomfortable when, the rest of the neighborhood decided to pick up the name like a fish to water.

He also was not comfortable with being sick, it was horrible; it made him feel weak; he'd never caught cold or been sick that much in the twenty eight years of his life.

Because there was no one to take care of him, he made sure never to get sick; being raised in a orphanage, he was the oldest kid there, because he wasn't adopted given his fierce appearance so he made sure to take care of everyone around him, as he watched almost every kid around him got adopted; he finally came to terms that he would never be able to have a family like normal people.

And it was okay, it took a while; but he got over it.

The door bell ringing brought him out of his daze like state and he frowned, he had made sure to put up a sign so his neighbors wouldn't send their children over to play and dragged himself out of his bed , drapped the sheets on his body and made his way towards the door.

He opened the door and came face to face with another thing he was not comfortable with, his neighbor Haku Yuki.

"Yuki-san?"

Zabuza could not read this person, with them standing face to face, it was really hard for him to figure out; what could be the reason this person was standing in front of his door, staring at him with a 'dreamy smile' if he quotes the neighborhood girls or a 'freakin' girly smile' if he quotes the boys.

"Za-chan." God how much he hated that pet name, But still Zabuza attempted to smile but he didn't think he succeeded as he watched the beaming smile on the Kid's face. What a weirdo.

"Please call me Haku."

"How can I help you?" He kept his tone polite, when he had moved in this neighborhood this person was one of those people who immediately became suspicious of him, because of how he looked; like everyone in this neighborhood he had come to accept his presence but Zabuza still felt uncomfortable around him.

The smile on his face seemed like he was hiding something, it really freaked him out that he could not read a person or their intentions This guy always glared at him in any party he attended and frankly he saw him practically everywhere when he was with children.

'So he still doesn't like me.'Was what he had thought and let it be, so for this person to come all the way here; must be something urgent.

"I heard you were sick,so I was worried." The smile had transformed into a concerned expression so fast that he couldn't help but think it was some kind of trick and Zabuza blinked in astonishment.

"Ummm...Thanks?" Zabuza said unsure.

"I want to help you...can I come in?" without waiting for permission the long haired brunette entered the house, while Zabuza who was about to say no was left blinking at what had happened.

"Get in bed Za-chan and wait for me."

'Somehow those words seemed tainted.' Zabuza thought before he shook his head, his fever must be too high.

Itachi stepped into the mansion and immediately made his way toward the guest rooms, even in his haste the grace of his posture didn't diminish and nor did it make a speck of emotion appear on his face.

He stopped in front of the guestroom when saw two familiar figure,"Sasuke, Naruto-kun." He greeted and scanned hopefully to find another figure but was disappointed.

"Itachi-san." Naruto smiled and then frowned,"What's wrong? You seem a bit anxious."

Another person wouldn't be able to make out any emotions of the Uchiha's face, but Naruto who was happily dating one, was able to grasp the moods and feelings of the Uchiha members as well as his future mother-in-law.

Naruto, who was a host was easily able to charm his mother-in-law, who deemed Naruto perfect for her Sasuke, the two spend most of their time together when Sasuke was out and the youngest Uchiha had to fight his own mother to get time alone with his blond boyfriend.

Itachi pulled out his phone and showed him a message which was apparently from Kiba which said: S.O.S.

"Where is he?" Itachi asked and Sasuke sighed, "He is with Father, well, not willingly of course." The younger stated the obvious.

Itachi sighed and Naruto let out a chuckle, the Uchiha head seemed to have taken a strange fascination to tease and scare his best friend, since Kiba showed a large variety of emotions; the Eldest Uchiha found it very amusing to see his son's friend in such a pickle.

"No...NO...nonononnono...I DON'T WANT TO!"

They all turned to see Father Uchiha dragging a very pale Kiba along with him,"Don't be a sissy, boy!" Fugaku rumbled but his sons could hear clear amusement in his voice; they could even see a evil smirk on their father's face, Sasuke shook his head while Naruto had become a tiny bit concerned.

"Father." At Itachi's voice the Uchiha leader's grip on Kiba loosened, who with the speed of sound was behind Itachi.

"Itachi." The man sounded disappointed and Itachi's eyebrow twitched," I was just bonding with your lover."

"Nuh-uh! You were taking me to the dungeon!"

"To show you around."

'Suuuuuuuuuuuuuure.' Kiba thought sarcastically and then frowned at the people who were frozen; their eyes widened at the word 'lover', was that the reason why he was after Kiba so much?

"He's not my lover." Itachi told his father who raised a doubtful eyebrow,"Sasuke and Naruto are in a relationship, yes. But my relationship with Inuzuka is of plantonic friends, Father. What gave you such a idea?" His voice was filled with disbelief and Fugaku straightened with a strange expression on his face.

"Is that so?" Fugaku hummed and after receiving a squeaky affirmation from the man hiding behind Itachi he nodded," Alright then, there should be no problem with you attending the party on the 15th, should there?"

"Matchmaking one?" Instantly Itachi's expression darkened and Sasuke stiffened,"Wasn't that for Sasuke?"

Naruto gasped before turning to Sasuke for confirmation who narrowed his eyes and stared at his father,"You said you would cancel that." he said and brought Naruto closer to him.

"Yes, but I don't need to cancel that if Itachi can go."Fugaku replied calmly to the youngest and then turned to his eldest son,"It is an important event, my most respectable clients and many of my friend's will be bringing their fine daughter's in hopes to merge with our family through marriage."Fugaku reminded them and watched as his youngest son let out a sigh of relief at the knowledge he didn't have to attend the wretched affair.

"I won't force Sasuke to attend because he already has a lover."Fugaku replied with a calm air before smirking at his eldest son,"You, Itachi, have no reason whatsoever to refuse. You will attend this party and find yourself a respectable woman. I do want a heir."

"It never bothered you before."Itachi replied stiffly not noticing Kiba and Naruto's concerned glances,"While I was with Deidara...You never showed any objection."

"Because he was you lover, Itachi. You...my dearest son, had shown no interest in anyone but him. So I had allowed it, besides at that time I had Sasuke who was not interested in men."Fugaku replied and he glanced at Kiba who seemed to be in deep thought before turning and laying out his orders; playfulness in his eyes gone,"You were interested in women before and now... since your not dating anyone...I would like you to consider settling down. You're already twenty eight and it's about time you forgot your past and moved on. Three days from now, Itachi, have I made myself clear?" The authority in his voice was unquestionable and Itachi couldn't find any reason to refuse.

"What about the people who tried to attack me and Naruto" Kiba spoke up and everyone turned to him, he cursed himself for getting nervous before continuing, "I mean Itachi was working on it, wouldn't that be on hold then?"

Naruto getting the drift of his best friend's conversation nodded furiously, "Yeah, weren't those people like...Your enemy? Can this be settled without Itachi's attention?"

It wasn't a strong argument but they still hoped it would be considered.

"I am sure Sasuke would love to get his hands on whoever, tried to harm you Uzumaki-san."

Their hopes were crushed and Kiba gave an apologetic look to Itachi for not being able to get him out of it.

"He can handle it."Itachi confirmed as he placed a hand on Kiba's head stroking it and he turned to his father,"I'll be there, father."

Fugaku smirked, "Well, looks like I have to show you the basement some other time." he said to Kiba and turned around to leave. 'Probably to sleep in his coffin.'Kiba gulped as he watched the man's retreating back and Itachi assured him, "He is just kidding...probably."

"PROBABLY?" Kiba shrieked and Itachi rolled his eyes,"Don't be too dramatic."

"He probably likes you." Sasuke added and snorted when Naruto and Kiba looked at him with identical shocked expressions,"He likes to tease people, used to do the same to me when I was a kid."Sasuke shivered as he recalled the 'father and son' bonding times he had to go through.

Itachi who was still patting Kiba's head was brought out of his muse when he saw concerned brown eyes peering up at him.

"You al'right Itachi?" Kiba questioned as Itachi simply stared at him,"Hey...Hello?"

His fingers played with Kiba's hair a bit more before he pulled back.

"Yes, I am fine."

Gaara watched the photo of Naruto's friend Kiba before flipping it and reading the message on the photo, the person probably was close to Uchiha family who didn't want Naruto to be involved in the Uchiha family, maybe some one even close to Sasuke.

But who?

Gaara let out a deep breath, he couldn't figure it out; he was no detective as he stood outside waiting for Neji to close up he was interupted by a soft voice.

"Sabaku-san." Gaara glanced up from the photo and saw a black haired petite girl looking at him and he nodded,"You may not remember me but I was a customer at club herem, when you were a host."

'Uh-oh.' Gaara hurriedly glanced towards the shop before pulling the girl into the nearby alley,"Sorry, miss-"

"Reina."

"Miss Reina, you have to leave."

"But I want to tell you,"The girl got all teary," I can't forget about you! I think about you all the time since that one time we-"

"He doesn't care." a voice replied which was so cold that it caused chill in anyone who heard it despite the warm weather.

"Neji." Gaara warned but even his voice was laced with panic, "She is just here to talk."

Neji ignored Gaara's words and toward threateningly over the girl,"Leave, he doesn't work as a host anymore, nor is he single for taking."

Gaara slapped his forehead in frustration, this guy could never keep his cool.

Reina who was teary before who now, looked irritated, "If he wants to reject me, I will accept it from him. Not you Neji-san."

"He doesn't need to reject you."Neji spat in anger, his whole body was shaking in fury, "He's-"

"I am already involved."Gaara told the girl and bowed deeply,"I am sorry I can't return you feelings." With that he grabbed Neji's arm and made a hasty escape.

"YOU! Are you out of your mind?! Just how many times are you going to do this?" Gaara roared as he pulled a now calm Neji with him.

"As many times it takes." Neji replied,"It was a mistake to let you be a host, now there are bugs all around you. They stalk you...Even your status as an person already involved with someone wasn't enough to make them back out...And you think I am out of my mind?"

Gaara wasn't very much popular as a host, his looks indicated he was anything but gentle. But as few customers interested in him, when got to know him, realized how underrated as a host he was, his customer feel for him left and right and were so determined to have him, Neji had to pull him out of the job.

But Gaara hated that he had to be protected from women, he could handle this. Neji didn't need to poke his high-and-mighty nose into his business. He was fairly capable of caring of himself; he had done it before Neji and he could do that now as well.

In midst of their fight they started to grow apart, Gaara couldn't remember the last time Neji touched him and it didn't end up in a fight. And slowly he was reaching his limit of this relationship.

'I want a break.'

He couldn't gather the courage to muster these words. Neji was popular himself and in the small dark corner of his heart; he knew if he let Neji go; the man would be snatched away in a second.

It really was a mistake to let him be a host.

But if he wasn't, would things be different? Does Neji plan to lock him up? How long will it take for Neji to be okay?

Gaara took a deep breath, 'Calm down don't do anything rash.'

They need to talk, lay it all out in the open. They are a couple, they love each other. Sure they can assure each other and get past this huddle.

He stopped walking turned and saw Neji staring at his feet with a pained expression,"Hey."

"I'm sorry."Neji mummers his voice weak,"I'm just so afraid of loosing you, you're my everything."

"I know."Gaara replied softly."You are mine too. We have to talk about this, we have dragged the subject long enough Neji. I love you, you know that right? I'm gay, women don't attract me; I love you but I need you to trust me, trust that I can take care of this myself."

"What if, they attack you like last time?"Neji asked him, those four women were she devils and he would not throw his lover into that.

"Then I would show no mercy."Gaara assured him and pecked Neji's lips whose eyes were widened in awe,"Even they girls okay?"

"Okay."

"Sasuke, do you think your brother will be alright?"Naruto asked his lover as they entered the guest room the blond was staying at; the man in question turned to him,"Hn, he should be fine. He doesn't like it, but it's not like it's a life or death situation."

"Uh-huh."

"And since we are on the line of questioning."Sasuke turned to face Naruto a displeased frown on his face,"Why are you not sleeping with me in my room?"

"Uhhhh..."The blond scratched the back of his head,"would that be appropriate? I mean this your parent's house, right?"

"I live in an apartment," Sasuke answered,"My brother wanted me to be as far away from the family business as he can, I mean we don't do things we used to do before because Itachi was devastated after Deidara's death. He decided to pull out...He was known as the most heartless Yakuza at that time, "Sasuke was looking at his blond boyfriend the whole time and saw how his expression changed in fascination before continuing,"It's hard to pull out of something like this, almost impossible; although our family is only involved in business now, I'm afraid it's not as easy to the erase the name Uchiha from the world of Yakuza."

'Out of all of us. Sasuke's hands are definitely the cleanest.' Was what Mikoto-san had told him, her face was that of a child; like Naruto didn't know that her son was Yakuza and was going to leave him because of it.

"I think that you're harmful for my heart,"Naruto whispered and closed the distance between them,"Because I really don't care about anything accept that I really like you." That wasn't the word, but he didn't know how else to explain the feeling he felt when he was with the handsome Yakuza. It was scary how attracted you can be to a person in only such a small amount of time, no actually it was ridiculous.

He felt hands snake around his waist and a forehead rested on his, the blond placed his hands on his lover's arms and slowly ran them up and down, he saw Sasuke looking at him intensely before he spoke,"I love your eyes."

"Classic."

"I love how expressive they are."

"Cliched."

"Shut up dobe, I could charm you if I want to." Sasuke had all the arrogance of a peacock.

"I am already charmed, why do you think I was being sarcastic?"Naruto asked innocently and Sasuke raised his eyebrows,"Is that so?"

Before they could close the five millimeters left between them a knock sounded on the door.

"Come in."Naruto called separating from a reluctant Sasuke.

"Naruto-kun." Mikoto greeted looking a bit worried,"Sasuke, those men finally talked, said it was a man named Kabuto who hired them, they don't know anything else about that person."

"Kabuto." He didn't know that name,"Thank you mother, I will run a background check on him."

"Do you think someone else is involved?"

"No individual is stupid enough to go against an Uchiha,"Sasuke pulled his boyfriend back in his arms, it's only been a few minutes but he's till having withdrawal from not having Naruto in his arms,"There is a strong possibility a more prominent figure behind this." he placed his chin on Naruto's head and ignored his squealing mother.

"Why me?" What could anyone accomplish by killing him.

"The same reason which caused Deidara's death."

Ah...so much work, thank for your pateince...here is the new chapter.

I am working on Broken heart, Yakuza's love and Dark side for the time being; look forward for their update.
