haha u guys better reveiw.

There was no funeral. Kabuto-sensei was buried along with his name five minutes after Sasuke had been screaming it.

Sasuke felt nothing, nothing at all.

But he surely felt more than Ororchimaru did; that he was sure of, more than anything.

When he saw Orochimaru, he smiled only because he had to.

"You're lucky I let you live, Sasu-chan, fooling around with my little Kabuto." The boy's teeth would grind togather when the name was spoken in an oily voice wrapped around that snake tounge. "It's only because you've yet to reach you're full power. Why, in a year or two you'll be more...disposable-" Sasuke could almost feel the lust in his voice-"but not so as you don't let another person lay a hand on you. Just wait, Sasuke. You'll be useful soon enough."

Orochimaru left; he had better things to do.

"Kabuto-sensei, think for a moment. This will never last."

"Sure it will. Someday, someday when we're both a little smarter, a little faster and a little more trusting in the world, I'll take us out of here."

Orochimaru brushed his lanky fingers against the youth's lower back, flickering those hellish eyes. When Orochimaru left, Sasuke would frown. Twards hell, he would think, twards hell.

"Kabuto-sensei, you're too optimistic. Someday before we're perfect, we'll die."

"Sasuke you need to let the weight of the world off you're chest okay? You'll be suprised how great it feels."

"But what do I have now, sensei?" Sasuke sat down, clutching the medic nin's sound headband and tracing the emboss.


"Kaka-sensei, a long time ago you told me you would always be there for me."

A laugh was heard over the other line. It was soft but annoyed, Naruto could tell, he could read Kakashi like an open book under a candlelight.

"Not at two in the morning, my boy. I just got home."

...Figures.

"Can I rely on you or not?"

"Ha, that depends what it's for..." Kakashi yawned, breath laced with fatigue. "Ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, I'm you're man. School? I'll have your back. Love? You're on you're on your own, buddy. See how pitifully alone I am at twenty six?"

Naruto felt his mood lighten slightly."Kakashi it's all of those things."

Yawn. "Sure. Shoot."

"I've been thinking about Sasuke and...well...I miss him. Just miss him so much, you know? Like you feel you're heart can't take much more of this whole world and it's hurting." He tucked his knees up to his chest, leaning the receiver on his shoulder, closed his eyes and sighed, let the saftey of his sensei wash over him. "It feels just so terrible like I know he's in pain. Sound's like I love that kid, right? I just love that guy, you know?...I-I miss him."

There was no sound from the other end of the receiver. Kakashi Hitake had never been the caring type after all. He had hung up at the name 'Sasuke', in just as much, if not more pain than Naruto.


Lonely?

That was all it said but Itachi Uchiha was sure that was all it really needed to say.

Step one, check. This was all it had to say because lonely people had nothing in this world anymore but longing; Itachi knew first hand. He glanced one last time, raven locks tussling in a hot july breeze, shook his head and turned his back

What do I feel? Itachi mused half-heartedly.

"He's just as presumed, Kisa-kun."

"You can do this, Itachi-kun. Leader-sama knows, he trusts you the most outta any of us. We're just a bunch of fools compared to you, Itachi-kun."

"I'm fine, Kisame. It's a strange task. How could that fox-kid fall in love with my brother?"

Somewhere out in the world, perhaps hundreds of miles away, perhaps not, the younger Uchiha sneezed.

"It's just our luck. You gotta look on the postive side."

"That's what makes me and that blonde polar opposites, that's why I don't understand."

"Well, that's a first."

"Hn."

Itachi closed his phone and sqinted through the darkness to make out the sunny figure.

I'm here for the Akatsuki, I'm here as an information gatherer.

Nothing eles.


There was a single raven purched outside Naruto Uzimaki's window but he wasn't suprised. He had felt after all a pair of eyes raising the hair on the back of his neck before he had even decided to call Kakashi.

The hardwood door slammed shut and the droplettes of sulight that filtered through the room like locust. I'm a walkin' corpse, no where to run anymore.

I've lost my place. What do I live for?

Is it really that much different, though?

Sasuke didn't know what came over him. He was crying? No, it wasn't possible. Sasuke Uchiha didn't love him, he didn't miss him. He would pratice his training until Ororchimaru found him fit for whatever he wanted him for. He might grow old or die soon, there not being much difference between the two.

"Self denial is the sweetest gift, but you gotta believe something real sometime."

Sasuke kept on crying.

Lonley?

That was all the note it said but Naruto was sure that was all it needed to say. He stood in awe at the black raven stealing sheen from the moonlight, cocking it's head and glaring at Naruto with bright black eyes as thick as the darkness around him. He stood up from his bed, heavy on each squeel of the springs and whimper of the floorboards beneath his weight. Finally as he was under the skylight, the hot breeze corrupting his heart, fluttered onto Naruto's forarm.

"Sasuke-chan drove me to insanity, didn't he?" This thing could peck my eyes out.

But Naruto didn't care. He felt the wafer of a note attached at the leg of the bird, eyeing the font and parchment. It was as if someone was trying to be impressive, almost. Or pretentious.

Lonley?

"Yes." Naruto said before he knew what was going on. Answering with his heart was always a downfall of him, and the bird flew off in a blink.

"Lonley?"

Naruto whirled around. A figure stood in the doorway, casting an ominous sillouette.

HE SHOULD BE DEAD. I SHOULD KILL HIM.

WHY CAN'T I?

WHY CAN'T I EVEN MOVE WHEN I LOOK AT HIM?

"Itachi Uchiha." But he wasn't suprised, or at least he didn't want to be suprised.

"Who eles?" Itachi was apathetic as usual, but he swallowed. Am I really going to do this?

"But why?"

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN, SASUKE CHAN?

"Why do we do anything, Naruto?" Itachi stepped down from the window sil and stood, trying to size himself up to the much taller boy, more muscular, and stronger by the looks of it. This is bad, Itachi thought, frowning even more. He hadn't been preparted to be an uke if that was what it came too and the plan worked. He was a seme deep down and everyone around him knew it. But Naruto put him to shame.

"I should be asking you, Itachi."
"Hn." This is for the Akatsuki.

DOES IT MEAN I NO LONGER LOVE YOU?

Their lips were crushed togather in an instant. Naruto didn't hesitate; Itachi knew before he had stepped into the bedroom that he would't no matter if he was in the infamous Itachi Uchiha. It was a heated kiss, though Itachi was clearly unsure of his kissing skills.

OR DOES IT MEAN I LOVE YOU MORE?

The last thing Naruto thought before he unconciously fucked Itachi Uchiha was how much he really did love Sasuke.

IT MEANS NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL.


kyaa! hope u liked it!
