The Cheshire Cat

Chapter Eleven

For the first three days Naruto was a wreck. He would not leave Akihito, holding him constantly, sleeping in the nursery, caring for the child himself. Sasuke had allowed it for the first couple of days, understanding Naruto's need to be close with their child. Hell, sometimes Sasuke stole Akihito from the changing table or high chair when Naruto turned around, refusing to give him up for a couple of hours. But after that, Sasuke put his metaphorical foot down.

Sachio and Toshi needed as much attention as their little brother. Naruto had been hesitant until Sasuke had snapped at him, asking if he would condemn their 'twins' to a life of neglect. Naruto had yelled at him, calling him a bastard, but immediately after he had left Akihito in Kakashi's care and spent the afternoon playing with Sachio and Toshi.

They were still jumpy, hesitant to let Akihito out of their sight, but they were slowly adapting, relaxing. They no longer feared the worst when they could no longer hear Akihito over the monitor. It simply meant that he was asleep. They no longer panicked when they turned around and found that Akihito was gone, only to discover later that Kakashi had taken him to be changed.

Sasuke then decided that it was time to talk to Kakashi.

Leaving the triplets with Naruto, Sasuke sat Kakashi down and glared at him. "You called him didn't you?" he asked as he leaned back on the living room couch. "Don't you lie to me!"

"I don't really remember," Kakashi said, his eye curving into a smile as he rubbed the back of his head. "You see, there was all the confusion and chaos, so I don't really--"

"Kakashi!"

"Oh, yes, it's all coming back to me now." Kakashi gave a light chuckle. "I naturally thought that he might be interested in finding his own nephew."

"And?" Sasuke mumbled. "Was he?"

"Of course," Kakashi said with a smile. "He was quite upset at hearing what had happened."

Sasuke looked out one of the wide windows nearby, closing his eyes briefly. When he opened them he looked straight at Kakashi.

"Naruto is throwing a party this Saturday. His friends are coming to meet our children. It would not be completely… horrid… if he were to come."

Naruto hummed softly as he adjusted the last bunch of balloons that were tied to the stairs. The party guests would be arriving soon, excited to meet the children. Naruto couldn't wait to show his children off; he had to admit he was very proud of them. He ignored the hiss he received from Kyuubi as he passed a table in the hallway. Kyuubi had not liked the move and was still sulking.

Kakashi chuckled as he watched the three babies all sitting in high chairs. They were looking around with interest and Kakashi couldn't help but note some changes in their eye colour already. Akihito's were still the amazing blue that could rival Naruto's, but Sachio's and Toshi's had darkened to Sasuke-like black. However, if you caught them in the right light, Toshi's had a slightly red glimmer, while Sachio's held a blue shine.

When the doorbell rang Sasuke was the first to reach it. He threw the door open wide but seemed disappointed to see Kiba. Naruto greeted his friend enthusiastically while Sasuke scowled and slammed the door behind him.

Over the next half hour the door continued to ring, announcing Neji, Gaara, Kankuro and a lazy man named Shikamaru. A bright blonde girl was hanging off of Shikamaru's arm, babbling loudly. Naruto greeted her with a shout of 'Ino!' Apparently they had all gone to school together, along with a chubby man named Chouji who showed up later.

Sasuke was extremely satisfied that Naruto had agreed not to invite Sakura, who Sasuke had not forgotten about. There was no way that bitch was meeting his children.

Sasuke was almost sure he wasn't going to show up, when the doorbell rang one last time. He stomped to get it, already annoyed at the sheer amount of baby talk being thrown around in front of the babies, mainly by Naruto and Ino. Sasuke was so annoyed that he opened the door without hesitation, almost slamming it again in shock.

"Little brother, you don't look happy to see me."

And there he was. Tall, dark, one of the most beautiful Love Cats ever born, Sasuke's older brother and former hero: Itachi.

His features were harder than Sasuke's, and the younger cat was shocked to realize that this was probably the look Sachio and Toshi would grow into. Sasuke had inherited his mother's slender looks; Itachi was their father through and through. His hair, long and dark, without Sasuke's blue, fell down his back, stopping beneath his shoulders in a low ponytail. His ears and tail were as black as his hair, smooth and silky soft.

"Itachi," Sasuke mumbled, looking at the man he had not seen since his disgraceful retirement from the company. "Big brother…"

And then Sasuke punched him.

Itachi wasn't expecting the hit and stumbled back, grabbing his cheek in shock. Sasuke shook his hand out, swearing slightly as he did so.

"Sasuke! What the hell?" Naruto was there in an instant, cradling Sasuke's sore hand in both of his, looking up at Itachi. "Who's this?"

"Itachi," the older cat said smoothly, holding out a hand to Naruto. Naruto took it suspiciously and found himself pulled straight into strong arms. "My, aren't you delicious…"

"ITACHI!"

Itachi chuckled as he released Naruto, darting back a step to avoid Sasuke's second punch. Naruto found himself crushed to Sasuke's chest as the angry cat glared at the intruder.

"Don't touch my dobe!" Sasuke hissed as his tail spiked up behind him and his ears lay flat on his head. "Don't touch him!"

Itachi chuckled as he calmly pushed past them and into the house. "As charming as your lover is, Sasuke, I am not here to see him," he said simply. "Where are my nephews and niece?"

Scowling, Sasuke led Itachi through to the living room where the party was. Sachio, Toshi and Akihito were being passed around, cradled carefully by the happy visitors.

The room fell silent at Itachi's appearance, everyone staring at the older cat. No one moved until Kakashi stepped forward, Akihito held in his arms. He offered the youngest child to Itachi without a word, and the elder cat took him gently.

Itachi lowered his head and inhaled Akihito's sweet scent, closing his eyes and allowing himself to simply feel the child in his arms. This was the one who had been taken, the one they had almost lost, the one who looked so much like his beloved little brother's love.

Itachi's eyes opened at the hand on his arm. He looked down into Naruto's bright blue eyes, blinking slightly. Naruto smiled at him, holding his arms out for his son.

"He's safe now," he said softly, the words for Itachi's ears alone. "He's safe. You have to meet Toshi and Sachio now."

Itachi blinked down at the man and nodded, handing over the bright bundle in his arms. As soon as Akihito was back with Naruto he cooed slightly, waving his arms around. Itachi found himself with an armful of baby girl, and he smiled down at his niece. Once Toshi had been passed off to Sasuke and Itachi was holding Sachio, everyone relaxed, talking amongst themselves again.

Itachi looked down at his little brother, surprised that these beautiful children could come from him. Sasuke had always been so cold, so stand-offish. Yet here he was, with a beautiful lover, three gorgeous children, and a happy home.

Itachi looked up, his eyes shooting across the room and locking with pale violet. As the other eyes dropped, a small smirk worked its way onto Itachi's face. He felt something stir deep within him. He handed Sachio to the first available set of hands before stretching slightly. He hoped his Love Cat skills weren't too rusty.

It was time he bagged himself his own human.

Naruto sighed as he cleaned up an empty bowl from the table. His damn friends were eating their way through all of his food! All of his store bought food, but his food nonetheless. He stomped into the kitchen to refill the bowl with more chips, setting it down on the counter, and suddenly found himself pushed forward.

"AHH—umph!" A hand clamped over his mouth, cutting off his yell. He turned his head as best he could, managing to meet dark, fierce eyes. He gulped at the sheer intensity of the look in Sasuke's eyes.

"Dobe," Sasuke purred in his ear before sucking on the lobe gently. "My dear dobe, do you know how angry it made me when I saw you in my brother's arms?"

"Mumphmeh!" Naruto tried to shout. "Memme mo!"

"Shh, shh, shh," Sasuke whispered as his tail wrapped around Naruto's leg possessively. "Don't panic, love, I'm just… re-marking what's mine."

Chuckling, as Naruto began to squirm, Sasuke lowered his lips and began to suck on Naruto's neck. He marked it eagerly, grinding his hardening cock into Naruto's pert ass.

Naruto moaned loudly against the restraining hand, slumping back in Sasuke's arms. He let his mind fall into bliss, not noticing the kitchen door opening.

Neji rolled his eyes as he begged off holding one of the children. He didn't particularly like children, babies least of all. The last thing he wanted to do was cuddle some hybrid baby that was likely to puke all over him. Knowing Neji's luck the babies were saving all their vomit for when Neji was forced to touch one.

Snatching up an empty jug, Neji hurried towards the kitchen, dodging calls of his name. He pushed the door open and gasped, causing the jug to shatter as it hit the ground. Sasuke had Naruto pushed up against a wall, grinding into him viciously from behind. Naruto was gasping in pleasure and Neji's eyes grew even wider as he saw Sasuke's tail was wrapped around Naruto's waist, sliding down the front of his pants.

Neji stepped back, a light blush dusting his face as he continued moving away from the scene. He had to admit, he had been fascinated with Sasuke's tail since he had first met him, but the bastard cat attached to it would not have been worth it.

Neji ran into something hard and warm behind him and he looked up. To his surprise, Itachi was looming over him, an amused smirk on his face as his arms slid right around Neji's waist.

"Well, would you look at that?" he whispered softly. "My brother and his little blond could have waited for us to leave before they started."

"What are – you--" Neji stared down at the arms around him. "I demand you release me at once!"

"Mmm…" Itachi tilted his head to the side for a moment as if considering it. "No."

"What?" Neji gasped as Itachi began to move, dragging Neji back with him. "What are you doing? Where are you taking me?"

"This will do nicely," Itachi whispered as he opened a nearby door. It was a bathroom. Itachi pulled Neji inside and then released him long enough to slam the door shut and push Neji against it. "Oh yes, very nice…"

"Let me go!" Neji demanded as he struggled. "I demand you--"

"That's quite enough of that."

Itachi slid a hand over Neji's mouth, his other sliding gently down Neji's body. Neji shivered at the feeling, his eyes screwing closed as he felt Itachi's hand dance over his nipples. Itachi rubbed them lightly through the fabric, smirking at Neji's muffled moan.

"You see, I'm a bit different than my brother," Itachi informed the dazed Neji. "My brother prefers an aggressive attack, moving in and taking what he wants without waiting for the other party to agree. He simply plays on the pleasure centres, forcing his partner to fall in love with him."

Neji shivered as Itachi's breath ghosted over his ear. A gentle tongue slid out to lap at the skin, sucking on the earlobe gently.

"I prefer a much more gentle method," Itachi continued. "I like to slowly overwhelm my partners with a sensory overload, making them realize how much pleasure I can truly give. I make them realize how great things can truly be with me, so that the choice, when they come to it, isn't really a choice at all. They need me. They need what I can give."

Neji moaned loudly as Itachi's hand slid down to palm his groin lightly, his tongue sliding down his neck. The heated feelings rushing through him were heightened when he felt that tail climbing up his leg.

"But up until now, I've never used the full extent of my skills," Itachi purred as he lapped at Neji's sweet neck. "I've never found someone who I want as much as I want you. So I give you fair warning, Neji, I plan to pursue you ruthlessly. I plan to make you mine. I won't hold back; you will never feel anything like what I will do to you. I may seem cocky, I may seem egotistical, but I am only telling the truth." Pulling back, hands and tongue, Itachi smirked down at the panting Hyuuga. "I will blow your mind, Neji."

Itachi pressed his lips to Neji's, swift and hard, diving into his mouth and exploring eagerly. Neji moaned, unashamedly pushing his body against Itachi's desperately. Itachi chuckled deeply before releasing Neji, pushing him back and vanishing.

Neji slumped against the wall beside the open door, his breath coming in short pants as he tried to regain his composure.

'Holy shit!'

Naruto huffed as he straightened his shirt, stalking back to his guests. Sasuke followed with an extremely satisfied look on his face as he gazed around. His eyes narrowed as they fell on his brother, who had an equally pleased look on his face. He looked like the cat that had gotten the cream, no pun intended.

Sasuke swept the room once before spotting the reason for his brother's happiness. That Hyuuga guy was flushed, shooting glances at Itachi every now and then as he tried to focus on what Chouji was saying. Sasuke snorted slightly before crossing to take his son from Ino. Itachi could have him.

Cradling Sachio, Sasuke strolled to a free seat, settling in and holding his son close. He sighed softly as he relaxed, closing his eyes briefly. He could dimly hear Naruto trying to explain his new hickies to Kankuro and Kiba and snickered slightly.

He was finally happy.

Naruto sighed as he shut the door behind the last of the idiots—er, guests. He wasn't in the mood to deal with the worrying things he had noticed. Like how Chouji had quite obviously stolen the three leftover bags of chips, or how Ino was planning a late baby shower, or that Kankuro and Kiba were exchanging numbers and saliva against Kankuro's jeep, Gaara glaring at his brother from the passenger seat. And he especially didn't want to deal with the fact that Neji had climbed into Itachi's car, more notably the back seat, and the windows were quickly fogging up.

Leaning back against the door he sighed heavily as he spotted Kakashi carrying Akihito into the nursery, Sasuke following with Sachio and Toshi. Naruto skipped down the hallway, bouncing into the room in time to see Kakashi set Akihito down.

Naruto smiled as he watched from the doorway. Sasuke was whispering softly to Akihito, stroking his soft hair. The baby's eyes were still open, his fists waving sleepily above him.

Naruto crossed to him quickly, stroking his hair along with Sasuke. Sasuke smiled, moving to the other two. Naruto leaned in to brush a soft kiss to Akihito's chubby cheek, smiling at the gurgle he received.

"Night, little one," Naruto murmured. "Sleep well."

After saying goodnight to the other two, who Kakashi playfully referred to as 'the twins', Naruto took Sasuke's hand, leading him up to their bedroom. As soon as they were in the door, Naruto collapsed onto the bed, exhausted.

"Let's never have another party." Naruto sighed as he closed his eyes. "Let's be hermits."

Sasuke chuckled as he approached the bed, crouching at the end. He watched his lover with a smirk, tilting his head to the side.

"What's wrong, love?" he asked. "I thought you liked people."

"Shut up," Naruto grumbled, dropping a hand over his eyes. "G'way and lemme sleep."

Sasuke chuckled again as he crawled up onto the bed unnoticed by Naruto. He quickly and quietly slid up until he was in between Naruto's spread legs, resting his hands on the button to Naruto's jeans.

The action caused Naruto to look down, straight into smirking eyes. Naruto frowned, shuffling under Sasuke's hands as the cat popped the button open.

"Sasuke, no," Naruto warned. "I'm not in the mood for sex."

"Calm down, dobe," Sasuke purred as he slid the zip down slowly. "It's only a little… stress relief."

"Sasuke…"

Sasuke swiftly shoved the jeans down, tugging the boxers with them. Naruto sat up with a squawk, but collapsed back down as soon as Sasuke took his half-hard length into his talented hands. He stroked for a moment, watching as Naruto squirmed beneath his touches.

"Oh, teme… yesssss!"

Sasuke smirked before leaning in and swiping his tongue over the head of Naruto's cock. Naruto squirmed, his hands tugging at the blankets. Sasuke smirked before leaning in to suck lightly on the head of Naruto's cock.

Moaning, Naruto bucked up, trying to get more of the delicious heat that was Sasuke's mouth. He felt so good, so hot, and so talented. His tongue was tearing the slit before sliding down, in sync with his mouth, to wrap around Naruto's cock completely.

Naruto cried out, bucking into that delicious heat. Sasuke was sucking him all the way down his throat, purring around it. Naruto loved it when he did that, it felt amazing. The vibrations from Sasuke's continuous purr made him buck uncontrollably.

"Sasuke!" Naruto moaned. "Please! I-I want to come!"

Sasuke chuckled lightly, nodding his head. He reached down to fist his own length, the sounds of his sweet lover going straight to his groin.

Sasuke looked up at Naruto and couldn't help but think that he could never have been happier. Naruto's body was flushed red as he panted, his eyes rolling wildly as he gasped desperately for air. Sasuke wanted that forever. He wanted to always have his Naruto pinned beneath him as he fucked him, sucked him, or simply rutted against him. He wanted to hold his Naruto close, simply inhale his scent, feel his body and taste his lips. He wanted his Naruto.

Sucking viciously, Sasuke reached up to cup his balls, rolling them gently and making his love moan. Naruto bucked harshly and Sasuke smirked, swallowing around Naruto as he increased his purr.

Naruto came with a scream, shooting deep into Sasuke's mouth. His orgasm tore through him viciously, making him buck and twist, writhing on the bed. Sasuke swallowed everything, finding his own release at Naruto's cry.

They lay in silence as Sasuke released Naruto's flaccid member, sliding up to lean on his lover's chest. Naruto sighed softly as he wrapped his arms around Sasuke's shoulders, looking down at his head. They lay in silence for a while simply enjoying the afterglow.

Until the baby monitor crackled to life, Kakashi's voice filling the room.

"As wonderful as I'm sure that was, you woke the babies, Naruto."

"FUCK!"

Ok, my beta and I adore ItaNeji (and lots of other rare pairings) so I had to throw it in! There should be a couple more chapters, maybe two, and then an epilogue. I am still aiming for 1000 reviews!

I will soon be setting up a new account called Tanuki's Rejects where I shall post all those stories I've written that I didn't really like, but other people liked. Ones that have vanished from my account should appear there, and others will join them.

Keep an eye out for my upcoming Kimimaro/Haku one-shot!
