"SHOUTING"

-------------------------------------sasuke's pov

"I-It-ita- itachi…" natsumi stuttered. Everything was still for a second. (a/n I always did like the nice itachi when sasuke was younger. So I'm gonna take some of that, and mix it with his anger problems, and TA-DAH! You have the itachi I'm using! O.o okay, that sounded wrong.)

"can I come in?" he asked, coughing.

She blushed, saying, "oh yes…" she stepped aside, immediately closing the door. He stopped to look around.

"the place hasn't changed much. Ohh… new dinning table…" he admired the real wood table.

"nii-san (older brother, I think)." I said, walking down the steps, sakura in my arms. "what are you doing here?"

"oh! Sasuke! I see you found your fair maiden. Have you been doing well, sakura chan?" he asked, taking sakura's hand, and kissing it. She blushed with a giggle.

"oh, why yes, itachi san! I've been doing just fine, thank you!" she smiled. "you?" he smirked, I glared. "nii-san…" I growled lowly.

"yes, life has been good. I just came by to see if sasuke was alright, and…" he looked at natsumi, "to see an old friend." she smiled.

"well, I'm fine. You can leave." I said. Itachi waved his finger.

"ah,ah,ah! No can do! I still need to make sure you can come home. Besides, me and short stuff need to talk, isn't that right short stuff?" he placed an elbow on sakura's head.

"right, big ape!" the 2 laughed.

"see?"

I rolled my eyes, and said, "just talk to natsumi already!" sakura pouted.

"but sasuke kun!" she whined.

"no buts, got it?" I placed my head in the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent. Cinnamon, and chocolate… such an addicting smell…

(a/n I get tired of people using the same scents: strawberry, cherry, vanilla, or CHERRY blossom! Well, some people use cinnamon too, but I haven't YET found chocolate. No offence, but it's time to mix up a bit:( sorry if anyone's offended, but to my faithful readers you should know my way of insulting people. Like in my other story with Orlando bloom… :D no offence again.)

"sasuke kun…" she whimpered, as I began nibbling.

"GET A ROOM!" naruto yelled. I glared his direction.

"shut up dobe." I shot back.

"whatever, teme. HEY ITACHI! LOOK! I BEAT YOU! I GOT A GIRLFRIEND BEFORE YOU DID!!! HA!" naruto grinned. Natsumi looked at him with a look of shock.

"girlfriend? You didn't date… itachi?" she whispered. He looked at her. He smiled.

"no. never." she smiled back.

"and people said you were the heartbreak heartthrob! Turned down every girl who asked you to go out. You even went to your senior prom ALONE. YOU DIDN'T EVEN DANCE!" naruto screeched.

"naruto, that's enough." itachi said. Naruto clamped up.

"why did you do that?" natsumi asked. Itachi looked at the 8 of us.

"I'll tell you as soon as I talk with everyone else." he leaned into her ear and whispered something.

-----------------------natsumi's pov

"I missed you, natsumi."

-----------------------sakura's pov

"now, sakura, could you introduce over some soda?" he asked. I nodded with cheer.

WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! ITACHI'S HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!! BOO YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay! Her wait… where's sasuke kun dragging me to?

Itachi kunni kun kun!

"sasuke kun!" I whined as he lifted me up, and dragged me to the kitchen. He plopped me down on the table, as the others began filing in.

"my, my little brother, you seem quite protective of sa-ku-ra chan." itachi said, smirking. Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"whatever…"

"so, anyway, sakura who are these fine young ladies?" itachi intertwined his fingers, and rested his chin on them, as he sat on his stool. I perked up.

"ah! Over there is ino! I'm sure you know shikamaru, correct?" he nodded flashing 1 of his multi-million dollar my-teeth-were-shown-in-several-modeling-magazine-covers-and-are-perfectly-white smiles her way. Ino swayed dreamily, shikamaru muttering something about, 'troublesome', 'smile'.

"that's tenten and neji." I pointed to tenten, who was waving, neji not caring. Itachi smiled again, tilting his head down in semi-respect, winking. Tenten blushed and looked away.

"then hinata chan!" I grinned motioning towards hinata. He got off his chair, eying naruto suspiciously, then took her hand in his, kissing it like he did with me. She blushed and swayed a bit, before fainting into naruto's arms. The blonde boy was obviously fuming.

"pleasure meeting all of you. Now, where's that soda?" itachi looked around, then simply got up, opened the fridge, grabbed out a dozen sodas, passing them out, and sitting down with his own.

"geez itachi, at least have the courtesy of ASKING for a soda, before just waltzing right on over to it!" neji scolded. Itachi patted the hyuuga's head.

"as if. I know this house like the back of my hand, inside and out. Just give me a day, and I could tell you the current whereabouts of everything." itachi scoffed. "especially a certain someone's room…" natsumi blushed.

"now, what's up? Sasu kun here, doesn't tell me ANYTHING. Tell me, tell me, tell me." he continued.

"WELL, WE'RE ALL IN HIGH SCHOOL, KONOHA HIGH, AND WE EACH HAVE SIMILAR CLASSES! WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR 1 DAY, AND WE'RE ALREADY TOGETHER! ME WITH HINATA CHAN HERE, NEJI WITH TENTEN, INO WITH LAZY-ASS, AND TEME WITH SAKURA CHAN!" naruto spoke up, then added, "SASUKE HAS GROWN MORE AFFECTIONATE THOUGH…" sasuke hit him in the head.

"shut up, dobe." he said calmly.

"high school? Wow, was I away for that long?" itachi said. Everyone gave him an odd look.

"I was in England doing some business stuff with father." itachi said in an as-a-matter-of-fact-ly tone. "but he takes such a long time. We were there for 4 years."

"anything else you must know, brother?" sasuke kun said in an irritated voice. Itachi smiled, but shook his head.

"no. please continue what you were doing before I came." he grinned.

"w-w-we were j-just about t-to eat-t" hinata said. Itachi stared at natsumi.

"you cook?" he held back a laugh. Natsumi hit him in the head, but laughed none the less.

"you asshole. Still able to insult me, but still able to make me smile!" she giggled. I watched my sister laugh and itachi making funny faces at her, which made her laugh more.

"I've never seen her so happy…" tenten whispered in my ear. I nodded.

"I never knew itachi could make so many faces in my life…" naruto was making a face also. "great, now I have competition for making my girl laugh the most!" he slumped.

"don't w-worry naruto kun… you'll always be able to make me smile the most…" hinata consoled. He brightened up at hinata's comment.

"thanks hinata… you're the best." he rubbed the back of his head. She blushed.

"anyway, what's for lunch?" itachi asked, pausing from his parade of faces.

"I… made… pasta…" natsumi breathed, taking in her first breath of good air. I sighed with relief.

"well, at least you're good at making that." I muttered. Natsumi turned to the stove, hiccupping along the way, and turned up the fire to warm the pasta back up.

"okay every…one?" natsumi had turned to tell everyone where the plates were, but apparently sasuke also remembered where everything was, and so on.

"geez sasuke, since when did you know where everything was?" shikamaru asked. He shrugged.

"lucky guess." he shot me a glance, lifting his head in recognition. I smiled.

Everyone served themselves to natsumi's pasta, being very careful when taking a bite. Especially itachi and sasuke. Sakura when on her merry way, eating her pasta.

"okay, so yu- chan is still at toya's house, I have several teenagers at home, my biggest rival is here, my parents are in America, and here I am in the middle. Oh, the irony of it all." natsumi swooned.

I looked at itachi. He was smirking while eating his food, listening to my sister's lecture on irony. rivals? Yeah right sis, rivals my A$$.

"natsumi san, your pasta is quite good. Mind if you tell me what sauce you use?" neji spoke, placing his chopsticks (a/n some families eat pasta with chopsticks. Mine, being 1 of them.) on the edge of the empty plate.

"uh… ragu?" she grinned. "burnt it the first few times though…"

"like the time when sasuke burnt water?" itachi and I said in unison. Everyone sweat dropped.

"shut up! I was 5. Not old enough to cook, unlike pink headed Martha Stewart, here." he gestured towards me.

"who?" ino asked.

"you mean that American lady who got sent to jail?" naruto piped up.

"oh yeah! She got out a few years ago though." ino said, nodding her head. "stay at home like a maid wanna be." we laughed.

"wait… HEY! I AM NOT LIKE MARTHA STEWART! I AM PINK HEADED THOUGH, AND I'M PROUD!" I shouted. Sasuke rolled his eyes and walked out of the kitchen. Fuming, I followed, dragging everyone else with me. "C'MON! THAT UCHIHA IS GOING DOWN, AND HE KNOWS IT!"

"y-y-yes m-ma'am…" naruto saluted, his eyes tearing.

-----------------------------------natsumi's pov

"hehehe… she reminds me of what we used to be: a bunch of teenagers with no sense of what's going on." I said, turning to itachi, but apparently he wasn't there.

"I know." itachi came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my neck in a loving way.

"do you still hang around with that blue-skinned idiot, kisame?" I asked, holding onto his arms. "naruto still reminds me of him."

"hey, he may be an blue-skinned idiot, but he's MY blue-skinned idiot. Besides, he grew out of that. Now he's a blue-skinned surfer dude." he replied. "and true. Sasuke's blue-eyed idiot, does resemble my blue-skinned idiot, now blue-skinned surfer dude." I laughed again.

"he'll always be an idiot to me. He better be taking care of mayu chan, or he will die, hear me itachi?! DIE."

"don't worry, she's in good idiotic hands." he said, moving with me as I stood. "so… what's up with you?"

"well, I'm a 23 year old, still at home, practically raising a 15 and 8 year old, waiting for my parents to come back from America, because I'm ready to inherit the family business?" I smiled, lifting my shoulders into a shrug. He gave me a satisfied look, then looked towards the window we were now near.

"you still have that balcony?" he asked. I shot him a surprised look, amazed of how he still remembered that. I nodded, taking his now larger hand in mine, leading him to something I engineered myself, since my degree was in business and engineering.

"can't believe you still remember this." I walked up the grand staircase, and into the library. I walked up to the bookcase to right of the center 1, grabbed a book with no title, nor any pages. I flipped it open, putting my thumb in the middle. A green light flashed, then moved down like a scanner. I put it back, and watched the staircase move up, revealing a set of stairs.

"hey, it's not everyday I go into a bookcase." he said, pushing me up the stairs. A few chandeliers lit the way, but the spiral stairs were still dark.

After some time, a door with light shining through came into view. I opened it to show the shining scenery of the noon sky. The sun was shining nicely through the window, but it was still a great view. It was basically a room, maybe a suite, with a bed, bathroom, kitchen, etc.

"didn't changed a thing since that night, huh?" he looked at me, black orbs gleaming with desire. I shook my head.

"so… you didn't date. Why?" I asked. "there are so many much prettier girls than me, some more exotic! Heck, I saw this girl in your school's uniform, with rainbow hair! How can I beat that?" I sat down on the bed, my hands covering my face. "big boobs, long hair, thin waists like they starved themselves! Walked like a model, lips to die for! How can I beat girls like that? You were surrounded by them! How could you not go on 1 date with 1?"

I felt my hands jerked away. Itachi's red eyes bore into mine, I as I choked out, "you even wasted the most important dance of your school years! And for what? An ordinary red/white head with a pathetic excuse of a hourglass shape!" I was crying. I knew it. Great and CRAP. Spirals twirled. Itachi pushed me onto the bed with a strong force causing the bed to squeak. His hands, still latched onto my wrists, held my hands firmly on the sides of my head, his entire body hovering above mine.

"natsumi ichigo haruno." he roared, "DON'T YOU EVER, EVER, SAY THAT AGAIN! I DIDN'T GO OUT WITH A GIRL, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T YOU! NO MATTER HOW I TRIED TO LOOK AT THEM, I JUST COULDN'T SEE YOUR BURGENDY EYES AND RED STREAKED HAIR! YOU MEANT THE WORLD TO ME, SO I GAVE MYSELF TO YOU! AND YOU LET ME! SO, IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU'D TRUST ME ENOUGH NOT TO LOOK AT ANYONE BUT YOU!" my eyes widened. He was sweating from all that yelling, my tears flowing as fast as his sweat.

"itachi…" I smiled. "wow, didn't know you got so emotional over the years." he leaned down closed to me, and said, "this is what happens when you spend more than a year with no 1 but my father." I giggled. "but you didn't answer my question. Do you trust me enough to look only at you?"

I nodded, "I trusted you enough to take me, then… YEAH. You macho thing, you" I played with his long hair, accidentally untying his hair. Pure black strands fell to the sides of our faces.

Silence.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I laughed, sitting up as he tried to get the fallen locks out of his face. " you look like a girl! Oh wait… shit, you look prettier than ME!" he growled, pouncing on me, crushing me with his weight. I started choking. "/GAG/"

Then he laughed. A rich, DEEP, soothing laugh. I liked it, but I laughed along.

---------------------------------------sasuke's pov

Burnt water, my butt.

Well, instant ramen still tastes good in burnt water!

Shu-

NEVAH!

As I fought with myself, I noticed sakura. She had changed a lot over the years. Small curves, plump lips, long pink hair. Yeah. A lot.

"HELLO? SASUKE KUN! EARTH TO SASUKE KUN, TO YOU READ, OVER!" she screamed. I looked up.

"hn."

"c'mon! we have battle of the band concert this Friday! We need to practice! Since you were dazing out, naruto chose a song and so did we, now we just need a name. we are…" sakura paused.

"T!" tenten smiled.

"H!" hinata cried.

"I!" ino cheered.

"S!" sakura concluded. "T.H.I.S.!"

I looked at the boys. Neji shrugged, naruto said, "orange megaphones!", shikamaru didn't care. I turned to the girls.

"cursed."

Sakura smiled, and said, "okay."

"now for the songs… they are both by…" sakura said, taking a big gulp of air…

a/n… ooooooooooooo! Who are they by?! Such a mystery. I updated :D!!!!
