I'll stop rambling now!

Chapter 2

As Naruto walked through the front door his smile quickly turned to a frown as he tried to close the door and get past Itachi as soon as possible. To his demise though, the elder raven who was watching TV quickly threw his hand out and grabbed the blond boy's arm, causing Naruto to flinch.

"Where do you think you're going? Without giving me my greeting?" Itachi stood from the couch, walked around, and pulled the boy into a hug.

Naruto flinched again and tried to squirm out of Itachi's embrace. Itachi wiped the smile from his face while lifting the blonds head from his chin with one hand and pulling him closer by his waist with the other. Itachi pulled Naruto into a firm yet not painful kiss as the younger of the two tried to push the elder raven away with his hands on his chest. Itachi remained unmoving.

A few moments went by and Naruto felt his strength melt away. He just couldn't pull himself away from the raven no matter how hard he tried, no matter how much he yelled at himself, no matter what.

It was impossible for him.

Itachi pulled away slightly and opened his eyes to see the blond with his eyes closed and face flushed. The raven smirked and continued to kiss the boy while sitting back down on the couch, placing Naruto on his lap, back facing the raven so that they could watch TV together. Itachi put his arms around the waist of the boy on his lap, then intertwined his fingers and pulled Naruto slightly closer to him. The blond smiled and happily snuggled closer to the elder raven, forgetting all about what had happened.

The elder raven smirked.

At Sasuke's House

Sasuke entered his house cursing to himself. 'Why does Naruto put himself through all of this, just for that bastard Itachi?' The younger raven whispered more curse words under his breath as he made his way to the living-room to watch TV. He soon lost himself in thoughts of the ball of energy and sunshine named Naruto, the thoughts of when they first met in their 2nd year of grade school.

-Flash back-

Sasuke was sitting at a small table in the corner of the room all alone, practicing writing letters and drawing small animals. The way he drew animals though was a little odd. He never drew more than one animal on a single piece of paper. He drew them all alone. It was the same with the letters when he practiced certain ones, they were always the only in ones on that piece of paper. The teacher's found that a little odd until they noticed he was always alone. Then they never questioned why.

One day around the 3rd week of that school year, when the teacher walked in, a small blond boy followed closely behind her, looking at the ground.

"Children, this is your new class-mate Uzumaki Naruto. Please say hello, Uzumaki-san." The blond boy stayed silent, though he did look up, his mouth in a straight line.

"Uzumaki-san?" The teacher repeated, though the boy still stayed silent and scanned the room with his large, bright sea-blue eyes. Then he locked eyes with a boy sitting alone. As blue met dark brown a small smile hitched onto the blonds lips.

"I'm Naruto. Nice to meet you." Naruto spoke to the whole class, though mainly directing it at the raven. The teacher noticed this and decided to sit the new boy next to Sasuke.

It was then free time and the now brightly smiling boy turned to the quiet raven and spoke. "Whatcha doing?"

The raven stayed silent.

"Are you writing?"

Still silent.

Naruto noticed the boy was drawing a single bird on a piece of paper. A black one, a crow. After the crow was done, Sasuke pushed it aside and started to draw another on a different piece of paper. Naruto just blinked at the page and then said; "That bird looks lonely. Why not give it a friend?"

Sasuke looked at the boy with slight confusion as the other picked up an orange crayon and drew a bird beside the black one.

The raven-haired boy tilted his head at the two birds then looked over at the smiling boy with slight confusion. He just looked back at Sasuke, smiled, and said; "Now the crow isn't lonely, he has a friend to fly with him. So can we be friends like them too?"

A look of confusion stayed on Sasuke's face.

"You're the only one who didn't mind me being here, right? All of the other's pushed me away. None of them like me no matter what I do. They always hit me and push me away and tell me to shut up, but not you! You also looked lonely, like this little crow, so can we be friends like these two?" Pointing to the picture of the now two birds the ball of sunshine smiled hopefully at the raven.

The other looked away, blinked a few times, then nodded his head and emitted a small "Sure" from his lips.

For the rest of the day Naruto and Sasuke stayed side by side drawing pictures and letters and for the first time in a long time, Sasuke smiled.

-Flash back end-

While standing up from his spot on the couch, Sasuke sighed remembering that time. He walked over to a small folder hidden behind some books on a book shelf in the far left corner of the living-room and pulled it out. Then flipping it open and turning through a few pictures he stopped at the very same picture of the two birds, orange and black. It was put in a plastic cover so that it wouldn't be stained or crinkled.

The raven truly treasured it.

Sasuke's smile left his face looking at a different picture, one of him, Naruto, and his elder brother Itachi. He then remembered and regretted the memory of introducing the two other's in the picture three years ago.

-Flash back… again-

The two childhood friends talked and laughed on their way over to the darker-haired boy's house. They then ran into what looked like a slightly older version of Sasuke.

"Oh, hi Itachi." The younger raven didn't look too pleased with seeing the man.

"Hello Sasuke, and who might this be?" The elder raven said as he motioned to the blond energetic boy.

"This is my friend, Uzumaki Naruto."

Naruto smiled and waved as he spoke; "Hi! I'm Naruto. Who're you?"

Itachi smiled with interest as he looked at the blond, which caused Sasuke to start fearing slightly for the innocent boy.

"I'm Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke's elder brother. Though he doesn't like mentioning me much."

Sasuke scoffed at the comment. 'And why do you think that?' He thought to himself while looking the other way.

"I never knew you had an older brother Sasuke!" Naruto lightly hit the younger raven on the arm causing the other to smile a bit.

"Well, I do. Here he is. He isn't home much, so I rarely see him, thus causing me to believe he isn't worth mention." Itachi sent a playful pout at Sasuke

"Aw, that isn't too nice."

"Whatever." Grabbing the blond by the arm, Sasuke rolled his eyes and started to walk away, taking Naruto with him.

Itachi put a hand on Naruto's chest stopping the two boys. "Now, now Sasuke, you don't have to be so mean." Pushing Naruto back a bit to meet eyes the elder Uchiha smiled and said; "I would be more than happy to speak with you some more, but I must go. Perhaps we could talk, just the two of us next time?" Itachi sent a slightly lustful gaze at Naruto, but seeing as Naruto is so innocent that even if he were being assaulted he wouldn't realize it until the culprits ripped his clothes off, only sent back a look of slight confusion. Meanwhile Sasuke sent a death glare at what he hated to admit was his brother.

Smirking to himself, Itachi leaned over and placed a kiss on Naruto's forehead, causing Sasuke to fume with anger and Naruto to become red with shock and slight embarrassment.

Itachi walked away smiling and waving as he turned the corner and shouted "Bye!" leaving both boys flustered for two different reasons.

Sasuke continued walking, very angry, pulling the still shocked blond closely behind.

"Um… S-Sasuke… what just happened?"

"You just met my older brother."

Sighing, Naruto decided to say no more.

For the rest of the day, Sasuke noticed the usually cheery ball of sunshine was lost in thought almost all day.

-Flash back end… again-

Staring sadly at the pictures while lost in thought, Sasuke snapped out of it when he noticed a small tear had hit the plastic cover of the pictures. The young raven put them away, wiped away the tears, turned off the TV, and headed off to bed.

Chapter 2 End

Oh god, this was all basically flashbacks XP Derp.

Oh well, the next chapter will have more action and may or may not be as gloomy. IDK. I write this as I go along, so it's like improve for me, like I said in my other story 'Striped Soul'.

The next chapter of this should be up soon and I'm currently working on the cover art for this. I can't get the right look in Itachi's eye and it's making me angry. Dang you Itachi, make the right face!

…

Anyways, before I creep anyone out with my yelling at a drawing I'm going to go.

Sorry for any ItaNaru fan's or any Itachi fan's in general that I make him look like an ass. I have to make him that way or else the story won't work…

The next chapter should be up soon, I finished this one up at 4:15 AM.

Well, I'm going to go try to make Itachi's face right and start working on the next chapter.

~See you soon~

~Kaze~
