Naruto sat up in his bed, blushing deeply with memories of what had happened the other night. How he and Itachi had watched the stars together as he sat in Itachi's lap. Naruto's blush reddened as he remembered how Itachi kissed him on the lips! But what did that mean? Did Itachi have stronger feelings for him than he thought? Did Itachi want to be more than just friends? But maybe thats how friends showed their affection. Naruto didn't know, he never really had a real friend.

Naruto sighed, did he himself want Itachi to be more than just a friend? Naruto had just learned his name yesterday for god's sakes! But Naruto had known him for the last few months. To be honest Naruto didn't know what to think of Itachi. In general Naruto didn't even know that much about Itachi. His likes and dislikes, his favorite food, his family. For all Naruto knew Itachi could have a bazillion little brothers and sisters!( wow that would suck, that would mean bazillions of little emo avengers...scary..)

Naruto sighed, but began to smile at the last thing Itachi said before leaving the night before.

FLASHBACK

"Naruto, have you ever had a sleep over before?" Itachi looked at Naruto, who seemed confused by the sudden question.

" A sleep over?" Naruto questioned, unsure what Itachi was asking.

" Well, " Itachi continued, " A sleep over is when a friend stays the night at another friends house." Itachi explained, as Naruto nodded signaling he understood what Itachi was saying.

" And I was wondering if you would like to sleep over my house for the night tomorrow?"

Naruto looked at Itachi, and replayed the question in his mind. 'sleep over Itachi's house.' Naruto's eyes widened in realization. Itachi wanted Naruto to stay at his house for the night!

Naruto jumped at Itachi, pulling Itachi into a bear hug, nodding ferociously. Itachi chuckled slightly,

"I'll take that as a yes?" Naruto nodded again, while giving Itachi a huge foxy grin. Itachi smiled gently at Naruto, he loved when Naruto smiled.

END FLASHBACK

Naruto was dragged out of his thoughts as he heard the door open. Naruto immediately jumped out of bed, and ran to greet Itachi.

" Ita-" But Naruto was unable to finish his sentence as he felt a large callused hand grab his face and slam his head into a wall. Tears began to fall down Naruto's face as his vision blurred slightly. Naruto's head began to spin from the impact of the cement wall.

" Hey looky here, look whats iv'es gots!" Naruto heard the man say, his speech slightly slurred.

" Oi, demon what's wrong? Too arrogant to fight back? Well i'll show you somthin!" the man wheezed as he removed his hand from Naruto's face, only to send it flying back into Naruto's gut at full force.

Naruto coughed up blood violently as the man punched him, against the cement wall for a second time. Naruto fell to the floor as he struggled to breath, the pain in his stomach making it almost unbearable to do so.

" Oi, demon I'm talkin to ya! Ya piece of shit!" And with that the man kicked Naruto in the back once more. Naruto sobbed lowly, trying not to express his pain. But it was of no use.

" Aw the demons cryin now huh? Well don't ya expect any mercy! Ya didn't give my brother no mercy when you cut off his head! Now did ya?! Hey I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!" The man screamed loudly, making Naruto wince. Naruto heard slight movement as the man walked away and opened one of Naruto's draws. Naruto turned slightly, and began to shake violently as he saw the man pull out a knife.

"p-please, d-don't h-hurt no more." Naruto cried, almost unable to speak due to the enormous pain it caused.

" No more." the man chuckled as he walked closer. Naruto began push himself back up against the wall, putting his arms out in front of him as a form of protection.

The man snarled in disgust as he stabbed the knife into Naruto's arms. Naruto cried out in pain as the knife pierced through the flesh on his arm. Naruto began to sob as the man pushed the weapon farther and farther into his arm. The man laughed as tears ran down Naruto's face.

" There ya go ya little monster, ya got what ya deserved. heh" and with that the man left, slamming the door on his way out.

Naruto trembled violently as he crawled into the bathroom just in case the man came back to finish what he started. The wound unfortunately left a crimson trail behind him as he crawled into the small room. Naruto looked down at the knife embedded in his arm, lifting a shaky hand Naruto attempted to remove the weapon. He yipped in pain, realizing that the weapon was too deep to pull out. Slowly Naruto pushed himself into the farthest corner, as he fell over unable to move due to blood loss.

Itachi began to run to Naruto's house, he was actually really excited that Naruto was staying over. Now the only problem was hiding Naruto from his dad. His father would probably be furiousness that Itachi was with Naruto instead of Anbu training. Itachi pushed those thoughts away as he began to think about how happy Naruto would be to see him. Sure Sasuke was always happy to see him, but it just wasn't the same. Itachi didn't know why, it just wasn't. Itachi felt like he could just open up to Naruto and Naruto would except everything about Itachi, without a second thought. Itachi smiled slightly, maybe one day he wouldn't have to hide his relationship with Naruto. Itachi began to think off all the places they would go, like the beach or the park or maybe even Ichiraku ramen shop. Not many people knew that Itachi loved ramen, but he did. Itachi remembered telling his father, and his father yelled at him, saying that it was no good crap. But that just made Itachi want it even more, the fact that he really wanted it, but that the couldn't have it, it was kind of the same thing with Naruto.

Itachi stopped abruptly as he found himself at his destination. Itachi opened the door, expecting a smiling, giggling Naruto to greet him. Itachi frowned as he waited a few moments, but no Naruto. He walked in and began to search around. Naruto's apartment was old, rotted and small, and it had a few rooms. The kitchen, the bedroom, an empty space meant to be a living room and the bathroom.

Itachi's breath hitched as he walked into the living room, and stared at the blood splattered on the wall. Itachi's breathing got heavier as he eyes the large puddle of blood on the floor. Quickly Itachi began to search for Naruto.

" Naruto! Naruto!" Itachi called for him, but got no answer. Itachi began to panic. Naruto could be dead for all he knew, Naruto could be dead Itachi stopped breathing for a moment, Naruto could be dead. Those words hit him hard, if Naruto was dead Itachi would be alone, without Naruto was there really a reason to live?

Itachi froze as he heard a faint wheezing, Itachi turned and ran to where it was the loudest, before stopping abruptly at the bathroom door. Itachi swung the door open, and gasped as he found Naruto bleeding in the corner of the bathroom floor. Quickly Itachi grabbed the medical bag out of the cabinets, and knelled next to Naruto. Itachi decided to pull out the knife before he woke Naruto so Naruto wouldn't feel the pain. Itachi lowered a hand, and gripped the weapon. Pulling it out quickly, blood began gushing out of the open wound. Itachi soon began to disinfect and cover the wound. After covering the knife wound, Itachi began to treat the wound on the back of Naruto's head. Itachi couldn't bandage it, so he gathered chakra in his hand and slowly moved the hand to the back of Naruto's head. Itachi waited and watched as the wound slowly closed.

Itachi began to slowly look over the unconscious blond's features. Naruto's once tan skin was pale, and covered in dry tears. Naruto's eyes were red and puffy from crying, and some blood was dripping from his lip. Itachi felt his heart sink, why did this always happen? Why did Naruto always have to get hurt. But most importantly, why couldn't he protect Naruto? The one person Itachi wanted to protect, he couldn't. Why?

Was Itachi not strong enough? What was he doing wrong, and why was Naruto so hated?

"I- Itachi.." Itachi was snapped out of his thoughts, as Naruto began to regain consciousness. Naruto's blue eyes fluttered open, locking immediately with Itachi's which were currently a deep onyx color.

Naruto blinked a few times before he smiled,

"Itachi? A-are we going to y-your house now?" Itachi just looked at Naruto, who was confused by the look in Itachi's eyes. Naruto had never seen someone looking at him with an emotion like this before. Anger, hate and disgust were all looks he was use to. But what was this emotion in Itachi's eyes? It was new to Naruto.

Naruto was snapped out of his thoughts, as he was pulled into Itachi's embrace. Itachi nuzzled his face into Naruto's blond hair, while shaking slightly.

' Naruto's alive, he's alive, thank god.' was all Itachi could think as he held the blond in his arms . Naruto sat there for a moment unsure of what was going on, before returning the hug.

"Itachi?" Naruto questioned. Itachi eased slightly at the sound of Naruto's voice, but remained silent as he held Naruto. After a few moments of silence Naruto decided to just sit there in Itachi's embrace, just for awhile longer. Naruto nuzzled his face into the crook of Itachi's neck.

"Itachi, Daisuki." Itachi tightened his grip on Naruto, before responding,

"Naruto Daisuki" ( daisuki means I like you, yay Inumaru12 I read that in DN Angel to!)

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxxXxxXxxXxXxxXXxXxXXxXxXXxXxxXxxxXxXxXX

Itachi grabbed the bag he and Naruto had packed, as he walked towards the door.

"Naruto are you sure you still want to come over I just cleaned up your wounds a few hours ago." Itachi looked at the small boy, who nodded signaling a yes. After staying in each others embrace for which felt like hours, Naruto fell asleep exhausted from the recent events and Itachi laid him on his bed as he began to pack.

" Itachi, can I ask you a question?" Naruto looked up at Itachi with his big blue eyes.

Itachi nodded as he lifted Naruto onto his back and grabbed the bag they had packed.

" Do you have any brothers or sisters?" Naruto asked figuring it was a good place to start on his quest to know more about Itachi. Itachi looked over his shoulder at Naruto nodding.

Immediately Naruto's face broke into a foxy smile.

" Really?!" Naruto exclaimed, it was cool that he finally knew something about Itachi.

" Yeah my little brother Sasuke is actually about your age." Itachi said as he began to run off, towards his house. Naruto looked at Itachi for a moment before responding,

" Itachi, Can I meet him?" Naruto asked, Itachi looked over his shoulder at Naruto again. Naruto could tell by the look in Itachi's eyes he was going to say no. So Naruto decided to turn on the charm.

" I-Itachi, Pwease?" Naruto said, his rosy pink lips in a pout, his big blue eyes glazed over and slightly teary like a little dog that had just been kicked, and to finish it all off a single tear made its way down his slightly flushed, tan cheek. Itachi looked at Naruto, his eyes widening slightly. Damn did Naruto look cute. Itachi mumbled something before nodding, signaling Naruto could indeed meet his little brother.

Naruto smirked, that was just too easy. Just like when Naruto went to the park a year ago. Naruto had been hiding under the slide, and when he was peeking out he saw a small boy around his age, pulling on his fathers sleeve while pointing to an ice cream stand. Naruto figured the young boy was asking his father for ice cream. The father looked down at his son smiling, but shook his head signaling a no.

The boy puffed out his cheeks, angrily but stopped suddenly and began to give his father the same face Naruto had just given Itachi. The father immediately knelled in front of his son putting a hand on the small boys shoulder smiling, and nodding, giving into the small boy's demands.

Naruto watched the scene with curiosity. Did adults really treat you nicely if you could make a face like that? Naruto decided from that day on he would master the art of the widely feared and dangerously devious move! The puppy dog pout!( DUN DUN DUN!)

After that day, everyday Naruto would practice the face in his mirror in hopes that maybe, just maybe he could use it one day. One day...

Naruto was abruptly brought back to reality as him and Itachi approached a large compound, of many houses and stores, which all had a similar fan figure on them. Naruto eyed it all, trying to take it all in. It was a big community.

After a few more minutes of comfortable silence and walking, Itachi approached a particular building. It was slightly bigger that the others and was in a slightly more remote part of the compound. Itachi walked into the house, removing his shoes before gently putting down Naruto and removing the small blonds shoes. Before lifting him up once more and beginning to walk through the house.

Naruto looked Itachi's home up and down, mesmerizing every little detail. It seemed like a palace to Naruto, even though it could only be classified as a typical Konoha home. Perhaps the only reason Naruto thought so highly of it was because he himself had a disgusting dump of a home.

Naruto watched as Itachi approached a door on the end of the long hallway and quietly opened the door revealing Itachi's room. Itachi's room consisted of a large king sized bed, covered by red silk sheets. In the corner was a large desk, which was bare, except for a small photo of what Naruto believed to be Itachi's mother. Naruto's gaze shifted slowly from the desk to the huge couch on the other side of Itachi's room, which was a blood red. The floor was covered by a plush auburn carpet and the only window located by Itachi's bed was covered with drapes of the same color. Naruto stared at the room in awe before jumping out of Itachi's arms and quickly ran strait for the bed, jumping on the soft yet firm mattress.

Naruto giggled as he nuzzled his nose into the soft pillows. Itachi let a warm smile grace his lips as he watched the blond jump onto his bed. Itachi walked up to Naruto and gently took a hand and lovingly moved Naruto's bangs from his face.

"Naruto your going to have to be quite, ok? My family is sleeping at the moment and I would rather not wake them." Itachi whispered, trying to make sure his father would not find out about Itachi's little sleep over. Naruto nodded, as he nuzzled his face into the hand Itachi used to move his bangs. Itachi smiled at the small blond before getting up and whispering a ' wait one minute' before leaving the room.

Itachi slowly snuck into the kitchen, looking through the cupboards for something he and Naruto could eat. Itachi turned his head as he heard someone else enter the kitchen.

" Itachi, what are you doing up so late?" Mikoto asked her son, yawning tiredly.

Itachi turned back to the cupboards, before answering

" Just having something to eat mother." Itachi said as he continued to search through the cupboards.

Mikoto gave her son a quizzical look before, walking up to him and giving him a motherly peck on the cheek.

" Okay hun, good night." And with that she left, with a small smile.

Itachi brushed it off as he removed two packets of instant ramen from the back of the cupboard. Which he had of coursed hidden from his father. Itachi began to boil two pots of water, for his and Naruto's ramen.

XxXXXxXxxxxxXXXXXxXXxxXXXxxXxXXxxxxxxxXXXXXxXXxxXxXxxXxXxXxxxxXXxXxx

Naruto looked up at the ceiling, wondering where Itachi could be. Naruto sat up as he heard the door open. Naruto immediately sat up thinking it was Itachi, but was suprized when he came face to face with an equally suprized face from a small boy about his age. The boy had his head slightly tilted in confusion, his cobalt eyes blinked cutely before he raised a hand running it through his black spiked hair, which oddly looked like the rear of a duck.

Naruto stood up and walked up to the boy,

" Who are you?" Naruto asked the other boy who in response answered,

" I'm Sasuke, who are you? And why are you in my house?"

Naruto smiled whole heartedly,

" My name is Naruto! And im havin a sleep over, with Itachi!" Naruto exclaimed quietly, remembering what Itachi had told him. Sasuke blushed slightly at Naruto's smile but pushed it away.

" Why are you having a sleep over with anki?" Sasuke asked, rubbing his eye with the back of his hand in a childish manor, trying to make sure this boy in front of him wasn't some messed up illusion he was imagining.

Naruto smiled again before answering,

" I'm here cause Itachi's my best friend." And as if on cue Itachi came in with two large bowls of ramen on a tray.

" Outou? What are you doing here?" Itachi questioned looking from Sasuke to Naruto.

" Oh so I see you've met Naruto Outou." Itachi whispered as he laid the tray on the coffee table in front of his couch.

Sasuke looked at his brother confused, so Itachi did know this boy. But what Sasuke didn't get was why was this boy here in his house, in Itachi's room?

" Itachi, whats that?" Naruto questioned looking at the food tray Itachi had brought in.

" Its called ramen." Itachi answered as he patted a hand on the open seat next to him on the couch. Naruto took the seat next to Itachi as Sasuke took the last open seat next to Naruto.

Naruto leaned in smelling the food before backing up and scrunching his nose in disgust

" Itachi, I don't like it." Naruto wined pulling on the hem of Itachi's shirt. Itachi smiled at Naruto, before handing the blond a pair of chopsticks.

" Well you don't know that for sure. You haven't even tried it yet." Itachi mused, pushing one of the bowls toward Naruto.

Sasuke looked at his Anki confused, Why was Itachi acting this, so warm..towards someone Sasuke didn't even know.

Naruto eyed the food warily, before looking at Sasuke again. Naruto realized Itachi hadn't brought Sasuke any ramen.

" Sasuke would you like to share my ramen?" Naruto offered, thinking of how he could use it as an excuse not to eat the whole bowl. Sasuke looked at Naruto confused before shaking his head, signaling a no.

Naruto frowned, before grabbing some ramen in his chopsticks and motioning it towards Sasuke's mouth.

" C'mon Sasuke say Ahhhh." Naruto said opening his mouth as a demonstration. Sasuke merely stared at Naruto before motioning no a second time. Sighing, Naruto decided if Sasuke wouldn't have some the easy way, he would just have to force him to eat some the hard way.

" Hey Sasuke you have something on your tooth right there." Naruto lied. Sasuke blushed slightly before opening his mouth and pointing to a tooth.

" He-" But Sasuke was cut off as Naruto abruptly shoved the ramen in his mouth. Itachi watched in amusement as Sasuke swallowed, before glaring at Naruto.

" What are you doing! I said I didn't want any?!" Sasuke growled, as Naruto smiled sheepishly.

" Aw I thought only puppy dogs growl." Naruto retorted, placing a hand on Sasuke's head petting him like a dog. Sasuke blushed, but continued to growl in frustration.

" Well I wouldn't be talking fox boy! With whisker marks like those people might mistake you as vermin. Dobe." Sasuke smirked triumphantly. A look of hurt passed through Naruto's eyes, but was quickly replaced with anger. Itachi watched with interest,

' so his whisker marks are a sore spot.' Itachi thought, still watching the scene before him. Itachi was pulled from his thoughts as he watched Naruto's eyes change slightly. The pupils were slowly forming into slits, and Naruto's eyes continued to change little by little from blue, to purple, to a slightly red color. This confused Itachi, did Naruto posses a blood line? But as quickly as it had started, it ended.

Naruto's eyes returned to their normal blue as Naruto smiled.

" Sasuke teme, I have the felling we're gunna be best friends!" Naruto exclaimed, Itachi was suprized slightly by Naruto's interesting vocabulary.( teme means bastard)

Sasuke merely tilted his head in response.

" And one day we may even be brothers!" Naruto said, a smile plastered on his face. Itachi as well as Sasuke was confused at what the blond was getting at. Well that was until...

" Cause one day im going to marry Itachi!" And with that Itachi blushed a deep pink color, which contrasted against his obsidian eyes and black hair. This was interesting because Itachi never blushed, ever. Not even when he had accidentally saw girls in the springs when he was on a mission.

" M-Marry?" Sasuke questioned, looking at Naruto wide eyed. Sasuke's eyes slowly wandered to Itachi, who had managed to fight his previous blush down.

" Anki have you let mother know yet?" Itachi looked down at his brother, and then to Naruto, who seemed to be in his own little world.

" Well Sasuke me and Naruto are not getting married, he's too young." And with this Naruto was dragged from his little day dream of Itachi whisking him away on a white horse. Naruto was about to say something, when his stomach growled. Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, and blushed slightly out of embarrassment. Itachi smirked before he turned and began to eat his ramen. Naruto looked over his bowl, with disgust before deciding he was too hungry to care. Naruto grabbed some of the noodles with his chopsticks before putting it in his mouth. Naruto's eyes became at least three sizes bigger, before he began chugging down the bowl.

Itachi watched, as Naruto finished the last of his ramen with a slurp. It had taken a matter of 2 minuets for Naruto to finish his ramen. Itachi looked over at Sasuke once more noticing Sasuke was looking at Naruto wide eyed.

" Outou I think its time for you to go to bed." Itachi said, he wanted some alone time with Naruto.

Sasuke pouted, before nodding as he began to walk out the door.

" yes Anki." Sasuke grumbled

" Oh and Outou don't tell mother or father about Naruto ok?" Itachi added for safe measure.

Sasuke gave him a confused look before nodding. As Sasuke began to leave the room he yawned,

" Good night dobe." Sasuke looked over to Naruto who pouted at the nickname before responding

" Good Night Teme."

After Sasuke had left, Naruto jumped onto Itachi's lap.

" Itachi can we play a game?" Naruto asked, looking up at Itachi. Itachi nodded,

" Do you have one in mind?" Itachi watched as Naruto nodded.

" I wanna play truth or dare!" Naruto exclaimed. Itachi blinked once, then twice.

"Why?" It was blunt, but Itachi had to know, Why truth and dare?

" Cause its a chance to get to know Itachi better." Naruto whispered nuzzling his face into Itachi's shirt. Itachi sighed, well at least they weren't playing spin the bottle or seven minutes in heaven. It wasn't that Itachi minded kissing Naruto, he had done it before. Itachi just wasn't sure if he would be able to stop. And that could be a problem...

" Okay, you can go first." Itachi watched as Naruto began,

" Okay truth or dare?" Naruto asked enthusiastically. Itachi thought for a moment before answering

" truth." There was no way Itachi was going to say dare, because if he did Naruto would probably make him do something really embarrassing.

" Okay, Itachi what's your favorite hobby?" Naruto decided to start with something easy. Itachi tried to think of all his hobbies, which proved to be a semi difficult thing to do considering that he didn't really have any.

" Well I guess my favorite hobby is visiting you." Itachi said after a moment. Naruto smiled at that, Itachi was so kind without even realizing it.

" Okay Naruto truth or dare?" Naruto didn't even need to think before answering

" Truth!"

" Okay, Naruto where is your favorite place?" Itachi asked, not really able to think of any other questions.

" Hm well I guess anywhere you are Itachi!" Naruto answered truthfully. Itachi smiled, well maybe truth and dare wasn't such a bad idea.

Many rounds of truth and dare later, well truth at least seeing as no one had chosen dare yet... Itachi and Naruto knew almost everything about each other. Likes and dislikes, what irritated them and what made them happy, Naruto found out many things about Itachi's family and his problems, since Naruto didn't know anything about his family, he mostly ended up telling Itachi of all the things the villagers had done to him. Another subject Itachi approached, but quickly stalked away from was the scars on Naruto's face, which Naruto seemed very self conscious over. The other touchy subject Itachi decided not to touch upon again was why everyone treated Naruto the way they did. At this question Naruto began to cry, so Itachi quickly changed the subject.

" Okay Itachi truth or dare?" Itachi looked at Naruto a moment before answering,

" Dare." Itachi said deciding to change it up a little bit. Naruto stared at Itachi a moment, before blushing a deep red. Itachi raised and elegant eyebrow at Naruto's behavior. Naruto blinked cutely before answering,

" I-Itachi...I- I dare you to..to kiss me." And with that Naruto turned his head away in embarrassment. Naruto didn't know why he asked, it just kind of slipped out. But god did he want to kiss Itachi again, he didn't know why but he did.

Itachi looked at Naruto as he smiled warmly. Naruto clamped his eyes shut, nervous that Itachi might be disgusted for asking him to do something so...so well Naruto couldn't think of a word. But Naruto knew what irked Itachi now. One of those things was being asked, or forced to do something he himself did not want. Like his father forcing him to be an Anbu, and forcing him to be something he's not and didn't want to be.

Naruto was abruptly brought from his thoughts as a warm hand descended on his chin, turning his face so that he was face to face with Itachi. As Naruto's eyes connected with Itachi's, tears began to roll down his tan cheeks. What if Itachi really didn't want this? Naruto began to shake slightly as more tears ran down his cheeks. Naruto wanted to kiss Itachi, but what if Itachi didn't want it? What if all of this was out of pity? Thoughts raced through Naruto's mind, causing more tears to stream down his face.

Itachi's eyes widened considerably when Naruto began to cry. Did he do something wrong? Why was Naruto crying, if he was the one that asked to get kissed? Itachi felt hurt, did Naruto not like it when he kissed him? Itachi needed to know what was going through the small blond's mind.

" Naruto, why are you crying?" Itachi felt Naruto tense considerably at the question. There was a pregnant pause before Naruto answered.

" Itachi- Why?" Naruto hiccuped in between sobs, Itachi looked down at the blond waiting for him to explain.

" I-Itachi why are you so nice to me? Why do y-you see me differently than others?! Why-why do you make me feel like this?!" Naruto sobbed, on the slightly louder side. All of Naruto's emotions began to poor out as he sobbed.

" Why do I w-ant this so mu-ch?! Why am I feeling like this?! Why do y-ou care?! Why don't you h-hate me, w-why does everyone else shun me and treat me like a monster?! WHY WHY WHY?!" Naruto continued to sob, shaking violently.

Itachi watched the blond as he continued to sob. Naruto slurred out many questions through his sobs, all the questions that were slowly gnawing at him. Slowly breaking him down, and it hurt. It hurt like hell to see Naruto like this. Itachi hated them, the people who had done this to Naruto, caused him so much pain. It had taken months for Itachi to simple put his hand on Naruto's shoulder without him shaking in fear. And now Naruto was here in his bed crying his eyes out, happy one moment and sad the next. Whenever Naruto began to forget his troubles, they came back 10 fold to bite him in the ass. And Itachi hated it, not being able to help the sobbing form on his bed. Itachi looked down at the sobbing blond once more.

Unable to watch the blond cry any longer Itachi swooped down and captured Naruto's lips, in hopes of bringing Naruto back to him.

Itachi's eyes closed, his and Naruto's lips still pressed against together firmly. Naruto's eyes widened as Itachi kissed him. All of the sudden all of the anxiety was gone, at least for the moment. All Naruto's thoughts slowly began to revolve around Itachi, and the feeling in his stomach.

Itachi pulled away slightly, his breath still ghosting upon Naruto's lips,

" Naruto, I dare you to kiss me." And with that Itachi for a second time pushed his lips against Naruto's. Naruto's eyes closed as he kissed back, Itachi's lips were so soft.

At first the kiss was simple and chaste, but soon became more passionate as Itachi unconsciously nibbled at Naruto's lower lip. Naruto gasped slightly, giving Itachi the chance to slip his tongue into Naruto's mouth. Naruto's eyes snapped open,

Itachi's tongue was in his mouth! What was he doing? Was this still considered a kiss? Naruto didn't know he was 7 ( almost 8 in Itachi's defense..) for gods sake!

Naruto tried to pull away, but a hand was pressed against the back of his head keeping him from moving. He winced slightly as Itachi accidentally pressed against the sore spot on his head from earlier that day. Naruto began to panic, as Itachi's tongue began exploring his mouth.

He squirmed as Itachi's tongue caressed his. The unrelenting muscle continued to touch every corner of Naruto's mouth, savoring every inch of it. A strange sound made its way passed Naruto's lips as Itachi began to push his tongue further into Naruto's mouth.

Itachi was on cloud 9 as he kissed Naruto. Naruto tasted so good, so addicting. Sweet, yet sour but completely raw and refined. Itachi was abruptly brought to reality as heard Naruto moan.

Itachi quickly pulled away, and looked over the blond. Naruto was flushed, a small pink tinge on his cheeks, his mouth was slightly agape as he breathed heavily trying to take in some well needed oxygen. Itachi for the first time in his life felt a nose bleed coming on.

" Naruto?" Itachi questioned, Naruto turned to face Itachi before asking,

" What.The.Hell.Was.That?" Itachi merely looked at Naruto for a few seconds.

" A kiss. Now lets go to sleep, its already 1:20 in the morning." Itachi pulled the sheets over them, and turned over to face Naruto. Naruto looked at him for a second before smiling and snuggling into Itachi.

' Well even thought that was weird, I guess I'll have to wait till im older to understand.' Naruto thought as he felt Itachi wrap two arms around his waist, pulling him closer. Naruto nuzzled into the crook of Itachi's neck, and purred slightly as Itachi nuzzled his face into Naruto's hair.

'damn it, damn it damn hormones.' Itachi thought, memories of the kiss swimming through his mind. It was a good thing Naruto was so innocent, and forgiving. And slightly forgetful.

It was so warm, so calming. Naruto listened to the steady beat of Itachi's heart as his eye lids got heavy and he slowly fell asleep. Itachi kissed Naruto's forehead before closing his eyes and doing the same.

Both boys laid there in a peaceful sleep, as the door quietly opened. A tall figure slowly walked into the room. The figure walked next to the bed, to have Itachi start some 3:00 training.

The figure stopped abruptly as he looked down at Itachi's bed, there were two pulses, and two sets of breathing. There was of course Itachi, but there was another, a small breathing form under the covers. Itachi unconsciously pulled the covered form closer to him, as he smiled slightly. This was a suprize to the man not once in the past 8 years had he seen Itachi smile so warmly, or at all for that matter.

Itachi was almost perfect, he was so close to perfecting his ninja ways. Itachi had become emotionless the perfect killing machine and now whatever was under those covers was ruining it. The man carefully removed Itachi's arms from the form, which was a incredibly hard job to do, considering Itachi's vice grip. But after removing Itachi's arms, the man slowly began to pull the sheets of the small covered form, revealing a mop of spiky blond hair. The man growled in disgust, before abruptly lifting the small boy and leaving the room.

Me: so I made this one really long so I hope you liked it!

Itachi: damn so close...so close to ravishing my Naru-chan...

Me: Well too bad your gonna have to wait..cause its going to be especially hard to ravish him when a certain avenger starts falling for him...

Itachi: WHAT!

Me: well um cough

thank you for all you awesome comments! They make me soo happy! And I was wondering, do you think I should let Itachi's mom live? The clan is going to get massacred but I really don't want to kill the mom, she seems nice... Sasuke would still be an avenger and whatever, but he would be an emo avenger with a mom...so please let me know what you think. Thank you!!
