CHAPTER 9

~IX~

(With Gaara and Family)

Gaara had clamed down and looked at Temari and Kankuro. He stood up; "I'm transferring to Leaf high" he said and walked up stairs to prepare his stuff. Both siblings were shocked, first Gaara cried, said 'Naruto' so the prince has to do something with this and then he tells them he's moving? Temari was the first to recover, "Gaara get down here, NOW" she order, Kankuro had jumped at her sister's outburst; a few seconds later Gaara was coming down glaring.

Temari glared back and placed both hands on her hips.

"Gaara, mind telling what was all that about?" she asked Kankuro had walked to her sisters side, glancing between the blonde and the red headed. "Naruto, I… I don't know what happen, but… I don't know; I feel like I have to be at his side this moment" he replied looking down confused. The older teens exchanged a worried glanced and Kankuro placed a hand on Gaara's shoulders as he got near. "Why do you say that?" he asked softly, Gaara looked up at him lost.

"That feeling… it was so strong and warm… I couldn't help but shed a few tears of… something" he replied confused, so very confused. Temari sighed "Do you have to go?" she asked now crossing her arms over her chest. The pure demon nodded firmly. Temari looked at him for a minute and nodded. "We'll make the arrangements and hopefully we'll have everything by this Thursday or next week" she told him. Both boys looked at her surprised (at least for Kankuro) "We" the brunet asked pointing at all three of them and getting a nod from the blonde.

"Temari are you sure?" Kankuro asked her narrowing her eyes. "Yes" she said and Gaara smiled softly, one of his so very rare smiles and both half demons relaxed. "Fine, but if something interesting doesn't happen, then I'll tell Shikamaru about Uncle Sasori's last birthday" he threaten and Temari's eyes widen and then glared at her brother. "Say one word and I'll kill you" she hissed but Kankuro stood his grounds. "Not after I tell him" he replied grinning.

Gaara rolled his eyes and sighed. He remember the party which had involved a lot of alcohol and a very drunk Temari striping and singing, then passed out in the middle of her danced. Sasori had chucked, Gaara had smiled and Kankuro rolled around laughing, the then had gotten a marker and scribble on her face, he had taken a photo and still has it. But thankfully for her it was only family, now if Kankuro decided to tell the lazy Nara about her full blown confession of love for him, that's a totally different thing.

(With Killer Bee)

It was official, Bee had lost his concentration after a few hour; the feeling he felt couldn't be forgotten and he wanted to know what had cause it. He needed to know everything was okay with the blond prince that he loved like a brother. He was worried for him thought, he wasn't sure that something was 'wrong' just different and if made him uneasy. "Kirabi, what's wrong?" his sensei asked after minutes of silence from his new student. "Something happened to the prince, but I don't know what" the ox replied.

"The Fox prince… Kyuubi-sama?" he asked wide eye, Bee only nodded, "How?" he asked curious, "We Pure Demons have a connection, we know when one is in trouble or not" he said slowly, "If you have to go, then go" Sabu told his student. Killer Bee turn to face him "But what abou-" he was cut off by his teacher, "If you know something is wrong with the future King then go! You can resume your training but what's more important?" he asked the octopus.

Bee stared at his sensei and nodded, "I'll have to inform my brother" he said and started to walk away, but turned and bowed to Sabu, "Thank you" and with that he ran through the forest until he reached the road and got on his car, (yes he has a car) and headed to the Company his brother owned.

As he reached the tall building he pulled over.

Heading to the entrance he was greeted with 'Good day, Kirabi-sama' and 'Young master's' he walked to the elevator and waited until he reached his destination. As the doors opened he knocked on the door and waited for his brother to answer, "Come in" he said in a strong voice; Bee entered "Bro! I wanted to tell ya I'll be leaving for Konaha this week" he said and A quickly looked up, "Why?" he asked "Naruto" was all the ox said.

A looked surprised but then his face grimed, "Fine" he said, and Bee bowed, thanking him for understanding.

(With Yugito and Utakata)

Even though they had planed the date they were still worried about the blond, after all being far way from him was unnerving and they couldn't protect the precious prince from harm, though they weren't sure if he was really in trouble but still wanted to make sure. "I think we should go" Yugito said, "Yes, better save than sorry" he said smiling down to the cat and kissing her on the forehead. "Monday" Utakata said simply and the two-tail demon nodded.

(With Yagura and Fu)

Yugara had quickly reached Fu's house and headed inside, "Should we…?" he asked worried, "Go?" she finished and he nodded, "Well it will be for the best, but if we are, then we'll have to transfer there since you'll probably want to stay with him right?" she asked him. All the Pure Demons knew how much he respected and love the Kitsuen and that he wanted to be of any kind of assistance for Naruto, even if it were to be something ridiculous, he'll happily do it.

He nodded and looked at her, sighing, Fu sat down "You know there'll be no problem for you" she said in a matter of fact. The turtle brighten up at the thought; even though he's 14 he's consider a genius, as he is in the same year as Naruto, so like the beetle had said, no problem for him. "Yeah… so next week?" he asked her and she grinned, "Yup!" she said and Yagura nodded happily.

(With Roshi and Han)

Both stayed quiet for a few minutes as they gaze northeast from were they were at the moment, not moving and breathing very slowly. "Han… we have to go… for him" Roshi said, finally breaking the silent and looking at the huge man, "Yes… but…" his deep voice sounded hesitant, "He's our future King, until then, we have to protect him" the red monkey said slowly. "I know…" the horse said quietly, "Naruto-sama won't let anything happen to us… nothing" the oldest Pure Demon assured him.

Han sighed and nodded, "But we'll take the long route" the dolphin said simply, "Fine" Roshi said defeated.


Itachi was very… confused… happy… and at the tip of loosing his self control. The blond beauty was just too cute and tempting, eating from his plate, pushing his unknown limits by wearing one of his shirts that made his tan skin shine slightly and he just looked damn cute. Even in his sleepy state, no, even so in this state, with his foggy eyes, slightly flush cheeks and his soft pink and moisturized lips that munched down the meal he had prepare.

Tobi looked at them wide eye, he couldn't believe Naruto just walked up to them and decided to sit next to his cousin and eat from his plate, the thing that surprised him more was Itachi's reaction… which was nothing. The Uchiha didn't do anything, he was just surprised and thinking hard, probably something to do with the teen that was about to drink from Itachi's glass… not getting any reaction from his cousin, he looked at Sasuke and his jaw was open, Yuiko was smiling as she ate and Kisame was gapping.

Sasuke could not believe his eyes, Naruto was apparently 90% asleep and acting on pure instinct. He might be hungry but usually he never got near anyone at that state, not even Sasuke himself. The few time the blond had slept over, there were time that he would wake up like that, but he had kept his distance, unlike now, Naruto was very close to his brother meaning there was something between them already. As he recovered a smirked made its was to his lips and started to finish his meal.

Kisame didn't know what to think he was stunned, so very stunned. He looked over the blond and yes, the boy was attractive and innocent, but as he saw the two together and he couldn't help but see how right they look by each other's side. Itachi being the darkness but kindness, while Naruto the light and understanding of things. Itachi had started to recovered and started to eat again. Kisame watched as if they had done that before and was natural for them to do so.

Naruto at the moment was awake only to feed. He was sure that as soon as his stomach was satisfied he would go back to sleep and this time wouldn't wake up until tomorrow. He felt comfortable and happy; he knew who was at his side and was glad, he wasn't sure why he chose Itachi as his mate, but he sure wasn't complaining at the moment. He wanted to cuddle around the wolf and doze off in his arms, those strong but warm arms of his. He smiled softly as he ate and soon the food was gone but he had enough for the night. Naruto rubbed his eyes and yawned, he rested his head on his mate's shoulder, he heard Itachi sigh and soon he found himself in a warn embrace.

Itachi saw Naruto dozing off and resting his head on his shoulder; he sighed and pulled him in his arms, bringing him to his lap. He held him securely but with such gentleness he didn't even know he had. He saw his brother, then Tobi, Yuiko and lastly Kisame… she was the only one that was smiling at the affection but the others were not so good. Sasuke was looking very un-Uchiha while Tobi was wide eye and his jaw on the ground and poor Kisame, he was almost having a panic attack.

Itachi sighed and glared at the males, standing up which was a bit difficult thanks to the blond in his arms, and headed to his room, walking in he saw the sheets had been pulled so he just settle the prince in and covered him till his chin, he admired his mate's beauty for sometime until deciding to go back down stairs. He saw the table had been cleaned and no one was in the living room, heading to the hall that leads to the door he saw Tobi, Kisame and Sasuke with Yuiko by the door.

"Leaving?" he asked and everyone jumped by his silent approached, turning to meet his eyes all nodded, "I have to get home and drop this guy off" Kisame said pointing a finger at Tobi, "Hey!" the Uchiha whined, "I'll walk Yuiko home since its late" his brother said, making Yuiko blush a bit. Tobi started to teased the about young love; Itachi sighed as he reached them, "It was nice to meet you Yuiko" he said making the girl blush and bow, "Thank you for having me over" she said with a smile.

Soon all four were out and gone. Sighing Itachi went to his study on the second floor, on the right side of the house, while the rooms were on the left. He entered and black curtains adored his two windows, a dark oak desk and a leather chair by the back, a black couch and a small table in the middle and a shelf with books. He headed to his desk and reached for a drawer, sitting he got out his father will. It had been given to him once he turned 18; his father had left them everything, but he wouldn't be able to claim the company as his until his 21st birthday.

There were three other houses around the country that were left for both Sasuke and himself, but they decided to stay in the main house.

Itachi looked through them like he usually does to distract his mind, but this time, it just wasn't working; knowing the blond he's attracted to was just a few doors away and no one else was around… unable to do so, Itachi placed the papers back on the envelop and back to its place, standing up he walked out of the room and headed to his bedroom where the teen slept peacefully. Itachi opened the door slowly, not wanting to wake the boy up; slowly he got in and closed it. Gazing at Naruto from where he stood, he admired the boy's beauty.

Naruto had turned to his left and brought one hand up next to his peacefully face, the Uchiha couldn't help by smile. He walked slowly and silently to the side of the bed, he sat down and watched the boy sleep. Itachi at this moment realized that indeed he liked the fox very much; he didn't know if it was like of soon to be love, he just knew that he cared for the kitsune.

Itachi reached to caress the smooth tan skin, tracing Naruto's whiskers with his thumb and imprinting the boy's face in his mind, he traced his nose, high cheekbone, cherry color lips, chin and the shape of his eyes. Taking the visible hand in his own, he made circular movements on the back of the blonde's hand. Naruto sighed and smiled slightly in his sleep making the Uchiha heir smile softly and his eyes to warm up. He placed Naruto's hand down and moved from the bed.

Walking to one of his drawers he got out a pair of black pajama pants (of course it's silk), and his boxers he headed to the bathroom within his room. Not 10 minutes later he emerged from the room with a towel in hand to dry his wet hair; his upper body was bare, reviling the tone chest and his slightly marked six packs (I don't like it to be like perfectly tone, just slightly, too much can be bad too) he noticed the boy had curled in the middle of the bed and hugging one of the pillows.

Itachi sighed and headed down stairs for some water and he needed to get out of the room unless he wanted to loose control.

He thought of the days event as he reached for a glass on one of the counters, he still didn't know what had cause Naruto to react the way he did when he found him, but it broke his heart to see the teen in such pain. He was sure that it had to be something bad to cause such damage on the usually cheerful boy.

The bright blue orbs he always showed had been almost dead, he hated that look on him and thankfully he had been able to do something about it; he was able to help him a bit, if only a little he was glad he was there for the Prince. Itachi looked at the clock and saw it was already 8:25 p.m. sighing, he took a full glass of water to his room. Once in he sat it down on next to Naruto who had moved once more, now lying on the left side of the bed… again.

He heard the door closed and he searched for a shirt, grabbing the nearest one which was a gray shirt he headed to meet his brother.

¨*ItaNaru*¨

Both teens watched as the black car speeded away, leaving them in silence.

Sasuke glanced at the teenage girl from the corner of his eye and she was thinking about something and it might not be pleasant as her brows were slightly close in concentration.

Yuiko looked at him suddenly making him blink in surprised, "Shall we go?" she asked smiling, "Hn" he answered waiting for her to start walking. She started to walk straight down the path, Sasuke fallowed her silently, "I hope everything works out for them" she said breaking the comfortable silence. "Who?" the Uchiha asked confused, she looked at him with her golden eyes full of hope, "Itachi-san and Naruto… he deserves it, he really does" 'But I wonder if they will succeed' she thought sadly.

Sasuke looked at her, understand what she meant; his brother had done so much for him… but Naruto needed him more.

"Hn… both do" he told her with a soft smile, she was surprised but then she smiled genuinely, warm eyes, a soft smile that made her looked relief and happy "Yes…" she said now looking forward, they were near her apartment but she wanted him to spend more time with her, she wanted them to be together, but knew it was way too soon to try anything. She sighed softly but Sasuke heard her, "What's wrong?" he asked her.

Yuiko didn't look at him as she answered, "Nothing" she said softly, but Sasuke didn't buy it, it was strange for him to be able to understand someone so soon, especially since he just met her yesterday; it was also weird for him to feel such strong possession over the dark brown hair girl. "Yuiko" he said softly, he wanted her to trust him, to look at him and only him, he wanted her to love him… "Sasuke, really it's nothing" she said looking at him, she looked innocent and the Uchiha sighed, "Hn" he said not really believing her, he could somehow tell.

The girl suddenly slowed down and turned left, Sasuke made sure to remember the turn for the future. The silence fell upon them once more, this time it didn't feel right, and again the full demon was the first to break it, "So… Sakura seems to really like you" she said but mentally cursed, she risked looking his way and he looked surprised, "It's only her, she thinks I'm in love with her and so she has always been near me, though she's a real pain, she just doesn't get it" Sasuke said in a monotone voice.

Yuiko blinked "And how in the world did she came up with you loving her?" she asked curiously, looking at him only as he spoke, "It was Naruto's fault" he said and Yuiko felt disappointed, she wanted to know more, not only on the subject they were on but in so many others, she also felt he didn't want to talk about it but she decided to risk it "How so? If I may know" she asked softly, looking ahead as they kept on walking. "… It was in middle school, Naruto had transferred a few weeks after the beginning of our second year" he began.

Yuiko listen carefully this time glancing at him from time to time, "The idiot and I became rivals at first, but as the year went by we got closer and by the middle of the school year he had turn into my best friend" he said softly, Yuiko nodded "Then Kiba Shikamaru, Chouji, Naruto and I were talking about who they liked, well more like Shikamaru and I listen the other have their little talk" he told him looking at her, she somehow felt like blushing, so she looked away, she heard him chuckle and her and hand twitched.

"Kiba said Hinata, Couji, Ino and well Naruto said he liked Sakura" Sasuke informed her and she gasped, "What?" she asked, she knew that was impossible, demons weren't attracted to other demon's or people unless they were possible mates or mates, and she was absolutely positive that there was no way Sakura could be Naruto's possible mate, "Yeah, all of us were shocked, even back then she was either behind me or Sai, I didn't get it. Then about a week later, we saw Sakura along with Ino were being fallowed by a about five men, and we just happen to be near" he said and sighed.

"Naruto and Chouji were the ones that notice and Shikamaru and I just looked over to them when we saw Naruto and Chouji head over to help them as they had cornered them by an alley" he told her and nodded, "Chouji was after the men that had cornered Ino and Naruto to the ones that had corned Sakura, but she had been trapped by three guy, so there was really no way he could take them all on, so Shikamaru and I went to help" she listen closely to the next part.

"I went to help Naruto, he was fighting two and I took care of the last one, the one that had grabbed her, and just because I took care of him she hugged me, I had seen Naruto's reaction and had pushed her away telling her to not get close to me and the first thing she did the next day was grab a hold of my arm and said something about prince charming and perfect match. It was frustrating, but no matter how many times I told her I didn't like her, that she was annoying and to get away from me, it was like I was saying the opposite" he growl out the last part.

Yuiko looked at him as she stopped, he didn't notice as he was in his little world of anger towards the pink thing, and until he was two yards away did he notice the girl gone from his side. He stopped and quickly turned around, he saw her look at him with intense golden eyes that shined over the light of the moon and lamps. He was surprised to see her like that, the shape of her eyes seemed sharper than before, considering she had big eyes, she looked more feminine… more womanly, and her golden eyes hid something.

Yuiko looked at Sasuke seriously then she smiled, "I knew she was stubborn but I didn't think she would be so thick headed." She said truthfully, starting to walk again. Sasuke blinked as the eagle demon approached him, "Hn" he said looking at her; she had stopped in front of him, he couldn't help but look at her soft pink lips, saw them move, wanting to taste them, but they moved away, he blinked and saw the girl pass by him, "Sasuke… let's go" she said playfully and he blushed slightly.

Yuiko was happy that Sasuke found her attractive, she had seen the slight lust that was shone in his eyes when he had looked at her lips. She smiled as Sasuke cough up with her with a bit of red on his cheeks and slightly pouting while he looked at the street. She couldn't help but giggle, Sasuke looked at her with a playful glare, both glad that the comfortable atmosphere was back. Yuiko saw that were already by her apartment and sighed; Sasuke looked at her with a questioning brow and Yuiko stopped, "Well, thanks for walking me home" she told him and he blinked, he turn his gaze behind her and say she was right.

He looked back at her and nodded, she looked up at the sky and saw the moon; a beautiful full moon… her eyes widen 'Full moon?' she asked herself clearly surprised, "What's wrong?" Sasuke asked as he saw her reaction, he looked were she was looking but only saw the whitish moon. "Today's a full moon" she whispered and Sasuke nodded, "Yeah, so?" he asked confused. The demon looked at him and sighed, "I… was just surprised, that's all, but Naruto probably won't go to school tomorrow" she told him and sighed.

"Why?" he asked suspiciously, she knew something he didn't; she just smiled at him "Woman's intuition" she told him and reached up to him, she kissed his cheek and whispered by his ear "Good night, Sasuke" backing away she saw him blush and turned around, "I'll see you tomorrow" she said and waved at him before she went in.

Sasuke's heart was beating fast, he touched his cheek and sighed, 'She'll be the end of me' he thought and turned around and made his way back home, 'I hope Itachi didn't do anything to Naruto' he thought smirking.

25 minutes later he opened the door of his house and closed it loudly to inform his brother that he was home, quickly he heard Itachi coming, "Sasuke" he call, "Yes Aniki?" Sasuke asked as he entered the living room were a smirking Itachi stood, Sasuke went pale, "So, mind telling me who was your little 'friend'" he emphasized the word friend and Sasuke blushed, Itachi smirked even more "Shut up" Sasuke told him and the older Uchiha's brow lifted, "I see… when are you going to ask her?" he asked, clearly enjoying the teasing. His Otouto glared at him, "When are you going ask Naruto?" Sasuke asked now smirking as Itachi's face became serious.

"I asked first" Itachi said in a monotone voice, "I want an answer first" Sasuke told him, his face impassive; then it turn into a glaring contest, but Itachi won, Sasuke looked away and mumble a 'I don't know', "Hn, it will be soon…" Itachi told Sasuke and turned away, "Good night Otouto" Itachi said smirking at the young Uchiha's reaction.

*¨SasuYui¨*

Itachi smirked at Sasuke's face, his eyes were wide and he was gapping, probably unsure it he was telling the truth, but Itachi was; after all, he had already kissed the boy and was sure Naruto felt the same; all he had to do was wait for the right moment. He headed to his room once more, this time to say good night to his blond angel.

Itachi entered the room quietly, he closed the door so no light would get in, he walked to the side of the bed Naruto rested in; the wolf kneel down to caress Naruto's face, he lead in and kissed the boy's forehead, "Good night, Naruto" he whispered he got up and looked around, he was about to head to his closet when he felt something tug to his shirt, he looked at the sleeping boy only to see him slightly awake, "Don't go… stay… please" Naruto asked in a mare whisper, Itachi's heart skipped a beat.

Looking into innocent blue eyes he couldn't resist, he nodded "Alright" Itachi said and Naruto let go, Itachi walked to the other side of the bed and pulled off his shirt, Naruto had turn to face him and watched as he got in bed, once settle, Naruto cuddle next to Itachi, he rested his head on the Uchiha's shoulder and a hand on the man's strong chest, Itachi breath hitched a bit, but brought the teen closer, inhaling the intoxicating scent of the Pure demon. He sighed as he heard Naruto breath in and out evenly.

Itachi stayed up for a bit more, gazing at the blond in his arms sleep peacefully. Soon Itachi was deep into slumber.

Around one Naruto woke up, he saw who was next to him and blush madly, he sighed and got up. He walked to one of the windows and opened it; walking out to the balcony to meet the moon, he got on the rail and jumped up, he easily jumped high enough to reach the roof. Naruto landed with a soft thud and looked up at the illuminating full moon, he closed his eyes as the rays of the moon hit his skin, orange-red ears appeared on top of his head, the tips were black and nine tails slid out of the long shirt he had, they swigged freely.

Naruto opened his eyes, his pupils were feline like, but they weren't cerulean blue, instead they were bloody red. Naruto brought his right arm up as if trying to reach the moon, he closed his eyes again and inhaled deeply through his nose and exhale slowly through his mouth, after a steady rhythm was set he lowered his hand and his skin started to glow, his tails moved slowly but elegantly and his fox ears were flat on his skull.

He did this for a while, his skin glow a rich caramel color when suddenly he snapped his eyes open, his ears perked up and his nine tails swigged excitedly. He smiled kindly and looked at his city, slowly his skin turned it's normal color as waves of golden glider like dust spread around the land; gladly falling on trees, bushes, dirt, and water. The wind blew caring the mysterious energy farther and farther away and into the whole state (1). He smiled warmly and watched Konaha sleep.

"Naruto?" he heard a silky voice call from the room he was in. 'Itachi must have woken up' the Prince thought and slowly his ears and tails disappeared once more, he jumped down on the balcony and sat on the rail, he looked out with a smile, when Itachi walked out, "Naruto? What are you doing out here?" Itachi asked coming to stand next to the blond looking at him with worried eyes. Naruto smiled and cupped Itachi's cheek, "Sorry… I wanted some fresh air, did I wake you?" he said innocently.

Itachi sighed and shook his head, "No… just… don't leave like that" he told him and Naruto grinned, getting down he snaked his slender arms around the half demon's neck, he lead in till he was near his ear "Sorry 'Tachi" he whispered, kissed his cheek and backed away to see what he had done, he smiled in success. Itachi's eyes were wide and he was looking at nothing, his lips were slightly parted and he wasn't breathing. Itachi recovered fast and looked at Naruto with an instance gaze that put goose bumps on Naruto skin.

Itachi wasn't sure what was going on in Naruto's mind but he liked it; wrapping his arms around the thin waist he brought Naruto close, enjoying the teen's warmth, he kissed the pure demon's forehead gently, he backed away to look into the eyes of his beloved and liked what he saw. Naruto's crystal blue eyes were burning with affection and happiness, slowly, so very slowly, he leaned in to meet the soft lips he loved. Naruto moved his lips along his perfectly.

The blond closed his eyes the second Itachi's sweet lips collided with his own; he loved the kiss, it was perfect. Sweet and gently, it reflected both their feelings for one another. Itachi parted his lips from the blonds only to travel to his jaw line and down the tan neck, he nuzzle the slender neck and Naruto gasped, the Uchiha smiled as one of Naruto's hand traveled through his hair, pressing him closer to the sweet neck, but he had different plans; Itachi went from the neck to the crook were Naruto's neck and shoulder met, sucking gently and then hard enough to leave a hickey; the prince gasp again.

Naruto was loving whatever his wold was doing in his neck, but he wanted to growl when he left it but is breath hitched once he licked and sucked on the space between his abused neck and shoulder, gasping when sucked harder, he felt like he was melting, 'Damn… if this keeps up… I…damn' he thought but then Itachi pulled away and he was smirking, Naruto glared at him and Itachi's brow lifted, Naruto growl before he kissed Itachi, this time with much more passion.

The hunter was very surprised but he quickly responded to the heated kiss. Naruto brought him closer and Itachi nibble on his lower lip asking for entranced, Naruto granted it gladly, he fought with Itachi's tongue for dominance but lost. Naruto moan as Itachi stroke his tongue with his own. The blond was almost at his limit, he needed air and he needed it soon; as if Itachi had read the Prince mind he broke the kiss, both breathing hard. Naruto smirked and tiptoe till he reached Itachi's ear, "Good night" he said and sucked on his ear lobe, escaping Itachi's grasp, he went back in side and got in bed.

Itachi was frozen as certain part of his body reacted to that, sighing; he decided to stay a bit more out to cool down. He looked up at the moon and noticed how brilliant it was, the soothing feeling it provided. After minutes he decided to go back in, he closed the door and got in bed, Naruto was already asleep, facing him, Itachi wrapped his arms around the boy; smiling when Naruto snuggle against him even more, his head touched the olive chest and both hands were in between the two.

Itachi kissed the Prince's head and fell asleep.

...

Itachi woke up with a annoying knocking on this door, he groan and got up from the warm bed and blond, he opened the door "What?" he asked growling, Sasuke took a step back, "We need to go to school" Sasuke said nervously, Itachi blinked and nodded, Sasuke's eyes shifted from his brothers to the inside of the room, sighing Itachi said, "I'll wake him up" he told the teen and Sasuke nodded.

Closing the door he headed to Naruto, he shook the boys shoulder gently but Naruto didn't wake up, sighing Itachi shook the boy again "Naruto wake up" he said but the demon just groaned and moved away from Itachi, "Naruto" Itachi call firmly, but nothing, sighing Itachi went out the door and into the kitchen where Sasuke ate a bowl of cereal. "He's up?" Sasuke asked "No" Itachi said and Sasuke blinked "What?" he asked the older Uchiha, "He won't wake up" Itachi informed Sasuke as he hurried to finish his breakfast. "Hn" Sasuke said.

He got up and placed the bowl in the sink he headed up stair and into his brother's room "Naruto wake up, we'll be late for school" Sasuke call as he uncover Naruto, the blond open his eyes but closed them again, he curl up to stay warm; soon he was out and into dream land. Sasuke growl and pinched the prince nose until he would need air, Naruto shot up and glared at Sasuke with sleepy eyes, "What?" Naruto hissed and Sasuke blinked, "School. Now" Sasuke said and Naruto flop down on the mattress "Tired, need sleep… not… go…ing" he was able to finish before he fell asleep once more.

Sasuke let out an irritating sigh and left, he headed to the bathroom, brushed his teeth and headed down stairs, "He didn't wake up so I'm leaving" Sasuke call to his older brother, "Hn" was the reply given by the hunter.

Sighing Itachi finished breakfast and headed to his room to change, he hated to leave his blond alone but he had too.

The wolf covered the boy again and left for his patrol.

Sasuke got to school and headed to his first class, Health with Genma…

Thankfully that class went over quickly so he headed to P.E. were he knew he would find Yuiko, as soon as he finished changing he went to find her, and just like he guessed she was there, "Sasuke!" she said happily, Sasuke smiled at her, "Hey, Naruto didn't come" he told her and she nodded, "Did he woke up?" she asked "Yes but he said he was tired… weird since he was asleep most of the day yesterday" Sasuke informed her and she nodded, "I see" she said and saw the rest coming over to them.

Yuiko decided to meet Tsunade after school to see if she could check up on him; as class went by she keep on thinking two things, one that it was indeed very weird for the Pure Demon Prince to sleep so much; and second that maybe, just maybe she could start to get near Sasuke as more than a friend… but maybe it was too soon.

As the day went by Sakura didn't get near them. She was alone but no one really cared, just Lee. Soon the day was over and Yuiko told Sasuke if she could go to his house, Sasuke agreed and was confused by Yuiko, she had told him to wait and saw her go to the principle's office.

Yuiko went in and asked if she could see Principal Tsunade, Shizune the secretary lead her to the office, Yuiko went in. Tsunade looked at her "Sugaya-san" Tsunade greeted, "Tsunade-sama, Naruto is at Sasuke's home and he's been sleeping for a while now" she began, "Yuiko it must have been because of yesterday, it was a Full moon" Tsunade told the girl but the eagle shook her head, "No, Sasuke's brother found Naruto and said he had fainted and he didn't wake up until dinner but only for a little while, and today he didn't come" She informed the blonde, Tsunade's eyes were wide.

"Let's go" she said forgetting about work and grabbing and emergency bag from her desk. Yuiko lead the Slug through the halls and they met Jiraiya, "Tsunade what's wrong?" he asked "Naruto" she said and the Toad Demon became serious and fallowed the females. "I'll get the car" he said and Tsunade nodded.

Sasuke was surprised to see the principal coming over, and as they went out he didn't expect to see his History teacher waiting in his car. Tsunade got on and so did Yuiko, "Come on" she told him and he fallowed confused. "Lead the way Sasuke" Jiraiya order and Sasuke told them.

When they got there Itachi was already back; Sasuke opened his front door and let them in, "Sasuke?" Itachi said and both adult demons looked over to the half demon, "Figures" Tsunade mumble but they still heard it, "Where's Naruto" Jiraiya asked, "Sasuke?" Itachi asked lifting a brow, "My principal and History teacher" he answered, "Uchiha where is Naruto!" Tsunade snapped, she was short tempered but when it conserved Naruto she was most impatient, "Up stairs" he replied impassively.

The slug demon nodded and headed up, Jiraiya behind her. They fallowed Naruto's energy and entered the room, Naruto still asleep. Both full demons hurried to his side, Tsunade noticed the two Uchiha's had fallow as well as the Sugaya heiress, "Out, now" she order and Yuiko quickly did but both Uchiha's hesitated but did as told, Itachi closed the door and headed down stairs, "Sasuke explain" he order once down in the living room. Sasuke stiffen but Yuiko answered for him, "Sorry Itachi-san but I asked them to come…they are Naruto's guardians" she told them and both were shock.

"How do you know that?" Sasuke asked, he never heard of this, sighing Yuiko looked at both half demons "Um… I was told by Tsunade" she said but it sounded more like a hesitant question. Itachi looked at her but didn't say anything, "Why didn't he tell me?" Sasuke asked to no one but Itachi was surprised he didn't know.

Time passes and Itachi was getting impatient he wanted to see what was wrong with his blond when suddenly the boy's voice echo though out the house, "I have to WHAT?" he yell and all three headed to Itachi's room.

When they opened the door to his room, Naruto sat with his face red as a tomato, he looked at Itachi and fell back to the bed covering his flushed face.
