Naruto looked at Sasuke, wondering how he was going to react. When the raven had got back from Orochimaru, he never gave any indication to whether he had killed his brother or not. Obviously he hadn't. Naruto expected Sasuke to immediately jump into attack mode and try and hurt his brother as much as possible. What he didn't expect was Sasuke to paralyzed with fear. The raven couldn't move. Itachi seemed very please with this reaction, almost like he was expecting it. His gaze drifted from Sasuke to Naruto. The blonde pulled at Sasuke's arm, trying to get him away. The raven refused to move. "Sasuke?" the blonde asked quietly. He wondered if Itachi was using his sharingan against Sasuke but, looking at the older uchiha's eyes, he found he wasn't. This made Naruto wonder what was wrong with the raven. He understood that seeing his brother here might be a shock, but he had never seen Sasuke so afraid before.
"Well, is it true that you're pregnant?" Itachi asked Naruto. When the blonde didn't reply, Itachi moved slightly which made Sasuke flinch. Naruto didn't want him anywhere near Sasuke so he told Itachi the truth, quickly. "I was." The blonde mumbled. "But…I'm not now." He added. A smirk spread across the older uchiha's face. "That will save us a job I suppose." He said to someone behind Sasuke and Naruto. The blonde turned around and noticed Kisame was stood behind them. This would complicate things more. Sasuke still refused to move. "I'll make you a deal, Naruto. We wont kill you or Sasuke if you come with us." Naruto knew Sasuke was in no condition to fight and, considering he had just come back from the hospital, he couldn't fend both of them off either. "You want the Kyuubi don't you? Then how are you planning on getting her without killing me?" he asked. Itachi smirked again. "By the way you phrased that, I assume the Kyuubi is female." He said. Kisame laughed. "You were right, Itachi-sama." He said.
"We don't want the fox anymore. I have a much better idea of getting some of the foxes power." He moved closer to Naruto. "I like the idea of raising my own child with the power of the sharingan…and Kyuubi. You understand me, don't you?" Naruto nodded. "I can't get pregnant again though." He said.
"Why not?" Itachi asked quickly.
"The only reason I did in the first place was because Orochimaru and Kabuto gave me something that forced the Kyuubi to make me pregnant." He told them.
"That wont be a problem." He said. Naruto just shook his head and grabbed Sasuke.
"There is no way I'm getting pregnant again and especially not by you!" he hissed. Naruto tried to use some of kyuubi's chakra, but he couldn't hold the power long enough to use it against Itachi. Sasuke seemed to snap awake as his brother moved closer. "If y-you touch Naruto, I'll kill you!" he threatened.
Itachi looked at his brother with a bored expression. "You know little brother, at one point I might have believed that. I suggest you shut up unless you want a little reminder." He said. Complete panic spread across Sasuke's face again. "You can't use that against me anymore." He said, trying to stop his voice from shaking.
"We will be back in two days for your answer. Involve anyone else and I will kill you and Sasuke anyway." He told the blonde. When they left, Sasuke flopped back on the sofa, shaking. "I'm sorry…" Naruto sat next to him.
"What for?" he asked. Sasuke sighed and moved slightly when Naruto tried to hold him. He didn't want the blonde knowing how fragile he was feeling. "I'm was completely useless. They could have taken you and I would still have stood there." He muttered. He ignored Sasuke's protests and curled up on the raven. "Its understandable that you're scared of him." Naruto was immediately pushed off.
"I'm not scared of my brother!" Sasuke said angrily. Naruto looked at him sympathetically. "Then how come you can't stop shaking?" he asked, gently taking Sasuke's hands in his own, trying to stop the raven from quivering. Sasuke was obviously ashamed of his weakness that was visibly showing through. "I'm fine."
"No your not! We can talk about it if you want…"
"Talk about what?" he asked. Naruto had hoped that Sasuke knew what he was talking about so he wouldn't have to say it out loud. "When he…you know…killed…them." he said quietly, trying to be a tactful as he could. It was then Sasuke realized he was talking about the death of his clan. "You have no idea dobe…" Sasuke muttered darkly. "Then tell me!" the blonde insisted, wrapping his arms around Sasuke. Trying to coax an answer from the raven. "He…he did something…" Naruto nodded, encouraging Sasuke to carry on. "What did he do, Sasuke?" he asked softly.
"H-he…" Sasuke stopped and shook his head. Naruto decided not to push him and changed the subject. "How are we going to deal with Itachi when he comes back?" he asked Sasuke. The raven bit his lip nervously.
"I don't know. Perhaps we should tell the hokage." Sasuke suggested. Naruto thought for a moment. "You know…he said he wouldn't hurt either if us. All I have to do is accept his offer…"
Sasuke looked at the blonde angrily. "I can't believe your even considering that! Or have you forgotten about how his baby is actually going to get there in the first place?" Naruto scrunched his face up in disgust; he had forgotten about that part. "Your right. We should tell the hokage." He agreed. "We'll go tomorrow. We needed to see her anyway to talk to her about you attack." Sasuke said. Naruto wasn't too thrilled about that; he didn't really want to go through what happened that night over again, but he knew they had to see the hokage anyway. He nodded in agreement. Sasuke sighed. This had been one hell of a day. "I'm going to bed. You coming?" the raven asked. Naruto nodded and let Sasuke pull him upstairs. When they reached the stairs, the blonde paused. Sasuke turned around to see what the problem was. "You will tell me right?" Naruto asked, his curiosity getting the better of him. Sasuke frowned; he had no idea what the dobe was going on about.
"What Itachi did." The blonde explained. "You wont keep it a secret from me forever…will you Sasuke?" the raven let go of Naruto's hand and walked up the stairs by himself. "I'll tell you in my own time!" he growled. 'Way to put him in a bad mood kit!' Kyuubi interjected.
'All the time you decide to keep quiet, now you pop up?' Naruto thought back angrily.
'I resent that! Nine tailed fox demons do not 'pop up'. Besides I would suppose this cage would limit my 'popping'.'
'Well, seen as you're here, make yourself useful. Do you know what Sasuke is hiding from me?' the blonde asked, walking up the stairs a little. He decided that the good thing about Kyuubi was that the fox knew everything so there was no need to explain things. 'No. I don't.' she replied simply. Naruto sighed. Great. Kyuubi was about as helpful as Sasuke! 'I think you should use your charm on Sasuke and 'persuade' him to spill the beans.' Kyuubi said. Naruto smiled; this would work! He bounded up the stairs and jumped into their room. He found that Sasuke was already in the bed and, by the looks of things, pretending to be asleep. "Sasuke." He whispered huskily. The raven didn't move. He forcefully pulled the 'sleeping' raven on top of him. Sasuke's dark eyes snapped open to meet blue ones, swimming with lust. "Why hello Sasuke. Is there something you want?" he asked with a grin. Sasuke untangled himself from Naruto and rolled back on the other side of the bed with his back to the blonde.
"I'm not in the mood for your antics." He snapped. Naruto didn't give up. He whispered dirty things in Sasuke's ear for a moment and waited for the raven to kiss him passionately. Nothing happened. 'God damn him! Kyuubi, what is wrong with him tonight? And since when is he 'not in the mood'? He's always in the bloody mood!' Kyuubi chuckled at Naruto's outburst. 'Try a more direct approach.' Kyuubi suggested. The second Naruto touched Sasuke's boxers however, the raven climbed out the bed. "What is wrong with you?" he shouted. Getting no answer from the shocked blonde, Sasuke left the room angrily. 'Too direct I think.'
'For god sake Kyuubi! This might be funny to you, but I love Sasuke! So unless you have something helpful to say, shut up!' the Kyuubi muttered a quick apology. The blonde got back in the bed, assuming Sasuke was going to sleep in one of the other rooms. 'Go after him.'
Naruto told Kyuubi Sasuke probably needed some time to cool down, but the fox disagreed. 'He needs you right now. Just trust me; go after him.' Naruto agreed with a sigh and got out of the bed. He walked aimlessly through the house checking each room as he went. He found Sasuke in a spare room, on the bed, crying softly. "Sasuke, I'm sorry." He said climbing on the bed with the raven. Sasuke wiped his eyes immediately. "I know." He went back into the normal bedroom with the blonde and got into bed. Naruto was glad Sasuke was feeling slightly better now. He turned around to face Sasuke when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hand and took a shaky breath. "Itachi…he raped me." Sasuke mumbled, almost hoping Naruto didn't hear. The look of complete utter horror on Naruto's face told Sasuke the blonde did hear.
