A/N: And I've come bach. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. I also hope you don't find it too wordy (despite it being composed of nothing but words).

Also thank you for your comments hehe.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything.

Naruto couldn't come up with any words except,

"You cheeky cat."

Naruto sighed as he held Sasuke's sleeping form. Sasuke's purring had slowly ceased, but still lingering there. Sasuke fell asleep right after he had kissed Naruto. Naruto wasn't expecting the kiss from him. He wondered what was on the kit's mind when he did that. Does he even know the meaning of a kiss? Maybe it was just the sleep taking over.

Naruto could feel the breathe of Sasuke on his neck, making it a bit ticklish. He tried moving Sasuke so he could lay on his lap, rather than sitting up. But when Naruto started to move him, Sasuke whined and stubbornly clung on to Naruto's neck.

Naruto was getting tired with all that weight on top of him and it putting pressure on his bottom. He decided to lay down with Sasuke on top of him since he wouldn't let go of Naruto.

He placed the flowers on the grass and carefully slid down the bench into a laying position. He made sure not to move as much so he didn't wake Sasuke up.

When he finally laid down, he felt much better. Sasuke managed to curl on top of his master, softly breathing. Naruto placed his arm under his head for support and his other around Sasuke. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Naruto woke up bleary eyed to a strangled cry. He noticed the weight on top of him was gone. He started to panic as he quickly got up, searching for the kit. He couldn't have ran off could he? He brought his legs around to the ground, but soon realized the kit was right under his feet.

"Shit Sasuke, that's the second time I stepped on you." Naruto removed his feet off from Sasuke.

Sasuke didn't even move. He laid there on the floor pouting. His tail was flicking around in annoyance.

"Sasuke, I'm sorry." Naruto scratched his head. "But you sure are clumsy, falling off like that."

Sasuke looked up at his master. He turned his body to face him with a pout on his face. He then lifted his arms, expecting his master to pick him up.

"Damn, you're really demanding when you wake up." Naruto bent down and turned his back to Sasuke. "Come on my back, I'll carry you inside."

Sasuke climbed on his master's back and rested his head. Sasuke was still holding his cat.

Naruto gripped Sasuke's legs and hoisted him up. He felt arms wrap around his neck for support. Naruto reached for the flowers Sasuke picked and gave them to Sasuke to hold.

Naruto was relieved that he could trust Sasuke. If Sasuke wanted to run away, the kit would've done it when he was asleep.

He carried Sasuke back to the house, and when they reached inside, Sasuke refused to get off. He wanted to go upstairs to his master's room.

He pointed to the stairs to show where he wanted to go.

"Yes, yes my princess." Naruto laughed.

Sasuke pouted at being called princess. He gently bit his master's lower neck in retaliation.

"Was that your revenge?" Naruto continued laughing.

Sasuke squeezed his arms around Naruto's neck.

"Ow ow!" Naruto quickly made his way up the stairs.

They finally reached the blonde's room and he put Sasuke down. Sasuke went over to the table that had the vase with his rose. He carefully put his flowers with the rose, liking the way they all looked together. He grabbed his cat and sat in front of the kotatsu.

"You want me to teach you on your birthday?"

Sasuke nodded. He didn't really know that birthdays consisted of special events. He just wanted to do what he wanted.

"How bout we just talk." Naruto sat down behind Sasuke to bring him onto his lap.

He liked having the kit on his lap. It was easy to wrap his arms around him and hold him.

"I'm kinda interested to know about you."

Sasuke looked up at his master. He didn't know how to communicate.

"Here." Naruto grabbed a sheet of paper and a pencil. "I guess you'll end up learning something."

He wrote down a question on the paper. 'What colour do you like?' And then he said it outloud.

Sasuke took the pencil and started to write something down. Naruto watched his movements from behind. Sasuke started to write the letter 'B' down, then he wrote 'L'. He seemed confused on what to write next.

"Do you like blue?"

Sasuke nodded.

Naruto took the pencil and wrote the rest for him. Sasuke then took it back and rewrote the word. He then wrote something else down, 'I like blue'.

Naruto didn't expect to be this happy after getting that response.

"I feel like we're actually talking to each other." He smiled.

Sasuke then pointed to Naruto.

"Me?" Naruto questioned. "Are you asking what colour I like?"

Sasuke nodded and handed the pencil to him.

Naruto wrote down, 'What about you?' and said it outloud.

Sasuke then looked at the blonde, waiting for an answer.

"Oh right," he laughed, "I like orange."

He wrote it down to show Sasuke, who copied it.

Suddenly, Sasuke smiled at Naruto. He too was happy. He started to write something else down. Naruto watched, but didn't interfere. Sasuke had a determined look on his face. He first wrote, 'What about'. He struggled on the last word, but managed to finally get it after sounding it out in his head. It read, 'family'.

"My family? And good job on writing that." Naruto was pleased at how quick Sasuke learned.

Sasuke nodded.

"Well, my family's kind of complicated."

Sasuke placed the pencil down. He wanted to hear.

Naruto got the gist of it and continued.

"Where do I start.." Naruto wasn't sure what to tell Sasuke.

"I'm sure you're well aware my name's Naruto. My last name's Uzamaki. I wrote it down for you last time. I'm actually twenty, which means I'm younger than you by about three months. It's kinda weird to be honest.

"But my family..the only relative that I know of is my father, Minato. My mother died..a while back. Ah! But it's in the past now." He noticed Sasuke feeling almost sorry. "Sasuke, I think you're stronger than me, it's you that needs the comfort. You never even met your parents am I right?"

Sasuke nodded, making Naruto squeeze the kit.

"You're strong Sasuke. You were able to endure all this pain. I couldn't even imagine being in your position..which reminds me. I'm really sorry for how I treated you at first. I just..heard too many stories and suggestions on how I should treat hybrids like you. I just believed that it was normal. But you know, I'm glad I bought you. It was actually Kyuubi who told me to buy a hybrid. You remember Orochimaru right?"

Sasuke shuddered at the thought of that snake man.

"Well I told him I was going to buy one, a hybrid. I'm just glad..that I went there, cause I'm glad I met you. At first, I just thought of you as a slave, so I treated you like one. But then you started becoming almost..cute, like a pet. So I thought it would be fine to treat you like a pet, a cat. But I was wrong. You're just like me. We're both human beings. I know it sounds weird, but I just want to treat you equally."

Naruto hugged Sasuke tighter.

"I'm really sorry Sasuke..I really am."

Sasuke felt wetness on his shoulders. Sasuke looked back and he saw tears. His master was crying? He never saw any master cry before. He was crying for him?

He turned around and used his own sleeves to wipe his master's tears.

Naruto lightly grabbed onto Sasuke's hand and leaned in to a kiss.

"It's weird..I think I may have actually fallen for you Sasuke. Do you know the meaning of a kiss?"

Sasuke didn't give any response. He was confused himself.

"I see. Well, it's okay. As long as you're with me I'm fine." Naruto sighed at the lack of response.

He wiped the remaining tears away from his eyes.

"Sorry, and thank you Sasuke." Naruto meant for wiping his tears before, but didn't say anymore than that.

"I guess I went off track didn't I." He scratched his head. "Ah I forgot to tell you, I'm not sure if you're even interested. But my father owns a company here, plus he's Hokage, so he runs this village as well. One day I'm going to have to take over."

Sasuke looked at Naruto wide eyed. His father was Hokage? The leader of Konoha? Sasuke had heard about the Hokage, but never knew who he was. His master was the leader's son..? He scrambled off Naruto's lap and bowed deeply in front of Naruto.

"Sasuke? What's wrong with you? Get up." Naruto reached over to Sasuke.

Naruto brought Sasuke up into a sitting position. He refused to look at Naruto.

"Sasuke, just because I'm the Hokage's son, doesn't mean you need to treat me like some type of royalty. Please Sasuke, don't think any different of me."

Sasuke carefully looked up at Naruto.

"See? I'm no different." Naruto smiled as he messed Sasuke's hair.

Sasuke lightly smiled to himself. He shyly went back to his master's lap and sat down, hugging his cat.

Naruto placed his chin on Sasuke's right shoulder.

"What about you Sasuke. Do you know where Itachi is?"

Sasuke shook his head. He missed Itachi.

"Here."

Naruto grabbed the pencil that was on the table and started writing something.

Sasuke peered over to see what he was writing.

"This is Itachi's name, and this.." Naruto wrote another thing down. "This is your breed, but let's just call it your last name. How does that sound, Sasuke Uchiha."

Uchiha. A last name. Sasuke didn't know he could be happy over having a last name. It gave him a sense of pride, having a last name. He quickly took the pencil from his master and wrote down his first and last name, and then did the same for Itachi. He lifted the paper up to show his master and smiled at him as well.

"It suits very well." He smiled back to Sasuke.

"You know..if we ever find Itachi." Naruto sighed. "I would do anything to get him back to you. No one should be separated from their family like that. I'm a really sick person. At first I was going to use Itachi against you to get what I wanted from you, but now I feel like I have everything I want."

Sasuke couldn't believe that his master said that. Not that he planned to use Itachi against him, but that he was everything he wanted? How was that even possible? And he would get Itachi for him? Hope started to rise to his chest.

Naruto quickly changed the topic.

"Is there anything else you want to know before we go to bed?"

Sasuke thought about it for a little bit, and then he started writing on the paper.

When Naruto saw what Sasuke wrote, he raised an eyebrow.

"QB? What's that?"

Sasuke pouted and started to scratch out what he wrote, feeling dumb.

Naruto repeated it in his head, trying to figure out what Sasuke was thinking.

"Oh." Naruto snickered. "Do you mean Kyuubi?"

Naruto started laughing when Sasuke nodded.

"I've never thought about it like that before!" Naruto continued laughing. "You're just too cute Sasuke."

Sasuke continued to pout as Naruto wrote down 'Kyuubi' on the sheet of paper to show Sasuke, still laughing.

"That was just too funny, I'm sorry." Naruto was still laughing more to himself now.

Sasuke pointed to 'Kyuubi', indicating that he still wanted to know.

"Yes, yes. Well Kyuubi's a little difficult."

Sasuke cocked his head in question.

"Well he's my cousin. Well actually no, he's not. That's just a cover up. He's actually not related to me at all."

Sasuke become confused on what Naruto was saying.

"Aargh." Naruto scratched his head. "We've known each other since we were little. My mother's dying wish was for us to take care of Kyuubi no matter what. She..died because she was protecting him. He's just like you, you know. But people refer to him as a demon."

Sasuke looked at his master. He's like me? He's a hybrid? A demon? He started to reach for the pencil, but was stopped by Naruto.

"I already know what you're wondering about. I said it like that on purpose." He laughed. "Just wanted to make sure you were interested."

Sasuke pouted, but Naruto continued.

"He is a hybrid, but a very different type of hybrid. He was considered a demon since he contained nine tails. And before you start questioning where his ears and tails are, let me finish. When he was younger, he already had the mentality of an adult. He was created as an experiment, but instead they messed up, giving him nine tails and strength that no human could control.

"They started to use him to conduct other experiments, but because of his strength, he rebelled. He killed them, and ran away. My mother found him all battered up and showed kindness to him. Of course, at first he was skeptical, but he started warming up to her. But this brings us to my mother's death.

"When they were out on a walk, people started attacking them, to kill Kyuubi. Instead..it was my mom who ended up being killed. Kyuubi wasn't strong enough at the time to protect both of them at the same time.

"This was a while back though, so it's really an old story. But no one blames Kyuubi for her death. It wasn't his fault that she died. He can't help that he was made the way he was. Just like how you were born.

"But something changed in Kyuubi after that. He became very dark. He bottled up everything inside of him. He started to become very spiteful. Because of his power though, he believes he's higher than other hybrids. Which is very wrong to me. This is why I don't want you to be alone with him.

"Anyways, he does live here. Although he's not here now, he stays in the basement, secluded in his room alone. I told him if he was going to live here, he should work, or at least do something. This was how he started playing piano. He occasionally goes out to bars or wherever to play the piano for them as music. He's very good at it.

"Sasuke, do you know what Kyuubi means?"

Sasuke was a little thrown off by the sudden question, but he shook his head.

"It means nine tailed fox. It was actually a nickname I called him when we were little. His real name is Kurama."

Naruto wrote 'Kurama' down so Sasuke could see and continued.

"We used to be very close actually. You know these scars?" He pointed to the whisker-like marks on his cheeks.

"These were actually made from Kyuubi. I was naive when I was little, and I made fun of him for his tails. He became very upset and angry, and basically told me off, saying how I don't know anything. That's when he attacked me and permanently scarred me. He said if he had to live with those ears and tails, I would have to live with having whiskers.

"It's kind of amusing now when I look back. It was true that I knew nothing. But these scars helped me learn how Kyuubi was feeling.

"I was very lonely when I was younger. People made fun of my scars. I remember running home, crying at the end of school. I had to be homeschooled after, since I refused to go back.

"But now that I met you, I have a much more clearer view on your lives. It's not easy. All I had to live with were scars, but you guys have to live with being born a hybrid. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but it's just how everyone views you. You guys are already lower in their eyes.

"You know, these scars aren't that bad. At least the bastard made them evenly." He laughed.

Then Naruto sighed.

"I never really thought of Kyuubi as a pet. He's strong on his own. It was later in his years that he learned he could hide his ears and tails. He didn't even know it was possible until one day he woke up without them. It was funny as hell though. He started panicking, wondering how they just magically disappeared. He takes pride in his tails. He claims it shows his power.

"It took him a year to master his ability to hide them after finding out they were still part of him. I don't hate Kyuubi, no. It's the opposite, but he's just become a real bastard now. Part of me tells me that it's just loneliness, because I know how that feels.

"Honestly though, I don't feel that anymore, but maybe it's cause you're with me."

Naruto smiled at Sasuke.

Sasuke was soaking up all the information like a sponge. He never knew Kyuubi was a hybrid. No wonder why he got strange feelings from him.

Naruto felt good talking about Kyuubi. It really was an untold story, so it was nice to get it off his chest.

"I realized I talked about Kyuubi more than myself." He laughed.

"There really isn't much about me. I grew a really lonely life. I used to play with Kyuubi, but after that little fight, he stopped. I told you that I was homeschooled, mostly cause I couldn't take all the teasing from the other kids.

"One day I'm going to have to take over both the company, and as Hokage. I'm just not sure if I'm ready for that, you know? It was my dream when I was little though. I would always claimed that I would be the next Hokage. But I'm just no where ready now. I'm still twenty, and I just feel I haven't actually lived yet. I'm sure you feel the same way. Always being in doors, locked away from the world, wanting to go outside and play."

Sasuke nodded solemnly. It was true. He wished he could have a free life where he could do what he pleased instead of listening to orders. But when reality slapped him in the face, he knew that these wishes wouldn't come true, and then he stopped believing in them altogether.

"Hey Sasuke, I'm sure I missed some things out and I still have yet to know a whole bunch about you, but I'm tired. Let's go to bed okay?"

Sasuke nodded, and soon found himself yawning.

"And one last thing Sasuke."

Sasuke looked at his master.

"I love you."
