Sakura sat down next to Naruto and Sasuke then ShikaInoCho (1) sat on the other side of them. The rest fell in around the table sitting with their teams. Hinata was doing her best to sit close to Naruto but at the same time trying to stay away so she wouldn't faint. "Hey guys you're finally back!" Lee said giving even Naruto a headache.

"Duh bushy brow! Couldn't let you guys have all the fun!" Naruto said falling into his overly loud idiot mode.

Tenten and Sakura covered the boys' mouths. "Who thought it was a good idea to get these two in the same room?" Shikamaru asked rubbing his temples. "Why did you call us here? I have to get back to Temari; I am still her escort while she's in The Leaf."

"Yeah that's why you want to rush back to her." Ino said rolling her eyes. "We all know you're in love with her. Just tell her already!"

"Well…That's kinda what we called you here for." Naruto said blushing. All eyes were on the blonde. "Umm well that is to say that…" he was starting to sound like Hinata.

"Spit it out already!" Neji said quickly growing impatient.

Sasuke sighed and turned to Naruto. "Let me." He said before kissing the blonde deeply. Everyone fell into a shocked silence including Naruto. When Sasuke finally pulled away he noticed that Hinata was on the floor and Ino and Sakura were on the way down to join her. Naruto set his head on the table and begged The Kyuubi to rip his throat out. But of course the old fox was having a field day with it.

"Took you!" Kiba said accepting a huge wad of cash from Lee.

"Damn it! You couldn't wait another week?" Lee said.

"You had a bet on when we'd go out!" Naruto said in disbelief.

"No of course not!" Kiba said pocketing the money. "When you'd tell us."

Naruto set his head on the table. "Oh my god." He mumbled.

Sasuke set a comforting hand on his shoulder and looked to the rest of the group, seeing if any of them had a problem with their being together. Sakura was back up again although she looked like she might hit the floor again. Ino helped Hinata to her feet and they took their seats. Naruto sat up and shifted a little closer to Sasuke who put a possessive arm around the smaller boy's waist. "So…" Sakura swallowed. "H-how did this come about?"

Sasuke looked at Naruto who nodded before answering. "One day, while walking home I felt Naruto's chakra signature, but it was weak." Sasuke told them the entire ordeal with Naruto's rapists and then the mission and Naruto's memory loss. A fact that Sakura already knew but the rest of the story was news to her. By the time Sasuke finished leaving out the part about having sex in the classroom of course. "…and we kissed and went home." Sasuke finished.

He noticed that the entire restaurant had gone quiet and that all the customers were looking at them intently. A few heads went down in shame one man stood from his seat and came to the table. "N-Naruto?" he said. "I'm sorry to admit that I was part of the mob all those years ago. I hadn't known the real story, none of us did we only knew what Fuyu told us." Naruto visibly flinched when the name was spoken.

Sasuke held him close. "It's okay I'm here for you." He soothed stroking the soft blonde spikes. "Where's Fuyu now?" Sasuke said with a certain edge to his voice that only the ninja could detect.

The man shook his head. "He hasn't been seen since the incident."

Sakura snapped her fingers and two ANBU appeared next to the table. "Find Fuyu. I want him in my office by the end of the day or heads will roll. Literally." She said standing from the table and waving to the rest of the group.

"Sakura's got an ANBU squad now?" Sasuke asked standing with Naruto.

"She is the Hokage's aide." Temari said like it was the most normal thing in the world.

"Looks like our meeting will be cut short yet again. Next time we'll have it in the Uchiha district." Sasuke said leading Naruto to the door.

When they got home Naruto said he would be stating in one of the other houses saying he wanted some time to himself. Sasuke wanted to argue but let the blonde do as he wished. As soon as he closed the door Naruto fell to his knees and cried. Sasuke was still looking out of the doorway of the mansion that once belonged to his parents. "All that progress undone by one name." he said his voice dripping with poison.

(1): Battle Formation ShikaInoCho! That was just so lamely awesome that I had to put it in my story.

Abel: on a personal note. Thanks to Alrye the entire day I've been thinking: "Tobi has to piddle! Tobi has to piddle real bad!" my friends thought I was crazy giggling to myself.

Sasuke: did you have to revert Naruto?

Abel: Yeah I did. It was heartbreaking but necessary.

Sasuke: Why?

Abel: You'll see.

Naruto (Between Sobs): Pleas. Review.

Abel & Sasuke: *Holds Naruto*

Abel: Title suggestions will be appreciated!

Sasuke: His brain's too full of smut to make a title.

Abel: Hey! My brain's not full of smut! There's some fluff in there somewhere!
