A Bad Mission
Chapter XIII- 'This One's for the Uchiha Estate!'

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and you're stupid if you thought if one second I did. : )
Warning: This fic has both shounen-ai and cross-dressing.
"Why are we here of all places?" Sasuke asked, looking around. He was at the Uchiha's estate, standing on his mother's grave.

"What better place to train?" Itachi answered, standing on his father's grave, "Let's make sure our parents know we've broken out of the casts and molds they've tried to trap us in."

Silence flowed from both the brothers as they thought about their lives before everything changed.

"I want to know you're serious about all of this," Itachi explained in a distant voice after several moments of silence, "I need to know you're serious about breaking out of the mold."

"I am," Sasuke answered, his voice just as distant as his older brother's. "I don't care what people buried under the ground may think."

"I am glad to hear that," Itachi admitted after spitting on the grave he was standing on. "That's not all I'm worried about though. What about the people above ground? Will you listen to them?"

"I'm done listening to people, both living and dead," Sasuke answered, "I'm finished not knowing what I really think."

"The molding is broken," Itachi announced, "Let's see just how many pieces we can break it into."

"It's your birthday today, isn't it?" Itachi asked, shaking his little brother awake. "How old are you now? Is it sixteen or seventeen?"

"Seventeen," Sasuke answered, turning around on his side to face the man next to him in bed. "Did you get me a present?" he joked, reaching over to his brother and flicking his forehead.

"How about sex?" Itachi asked, smoothing his younger brother's black hair.

"We do that anyway," Sasuke sighed happily. He had long been cleansed of the restraints keeping him from sleeping with his own brother. Society was miles away from the estate where he had been staying for the months and months he was training. "I want to do something we normally don't do."

"I'll let you top," Itachi offered as he continued to play with Sasuke's hair.

"You will not," Sasuke accused. "We've tried to do that before and you always take control halfway through."

"That's because you're too slow," Itachi complained. "If you don't want to have sex then get up. We need to continue your training."

"I didn't say I didn't want sex," Sasuke said, as closed to whining as he could come. "I just said I didn't want it for a birthday present."

"You're so hard to please," Itachi complained, smiling happily at the way his younger brother had changed so much over just a few months.

"Is it too hard for you to make me a cake or something?" Sasuke asked, getting out of bed and stretching.

"I hate baking," Itachi explained, following his brother's lead and getting out of bed as well. "What happened to wanting sex?"

"Nothing happened to it," Sasuke answered, "I just thought it might be kinkier if we fucked each other while showering together."

"It'd be something different," Itachi remarked, thinking over the suggestion.

"Don't tell me you're opposed," Sasuke laughed, "You're the pervert that wanted to screw each other over our parents' graves."

"And I'm still expecting to do it as a Christmas present," Itachi reminded his brother, walking towards the bathroom. "Are we fucking or not?" he asked when Sasuke didn't follow him.

"I'm coming," Sasuke answered, walking up from behind his brother, "I was just thinking about how much fun it's going to be."

"Hey Naruto," Sakura greeted sadly as she went to stand next to him on the bridge. "What's up?" she asked after leaning over and looking into the water, mimicking her teammate.

"It's Sasuke's birthday today," Naruto said, looking deeply into the water. "And we still haven't heard any word about him or that bastard of an older brother."

"People are looking for him," Sakura replied, "They'll find him eventually. It's only a matter of time."

" 'Matter of time' my ass," Naruto answered angrily, "They've got legs, Sakura. They're as capable of moving as we are. Do you know how hard it is finding just two people in the entire world? It's impossible."

"You can't just give up hope," Sakura urged, "You want to see Sasuke even more than I do, after all."

"I doubt very much that he'd want to see me though," Naruto answered, seeming to grow up right there on the bridge.

"You've never told me what happened that day," Sakura reminded him without pushing the subject.

"I know," Naruto answered, leaning into his teammate. "It's not important any more though. Sasuke's as good as buried anyway."

"Don't say that," Sakura urged, kissing her boyfriend tenderly, "I know how much you want to see him again."

"No," Naruto answered, accepting the kiss, "Seeing Sasuke again would ruin everything that I've put together. It's best to just leave it in the past. Picking at old scabs only leads to bleeding after all."

"You're still too slow," Itachi complained. "Keep practicing while I go in and make your cake."

"You mean you're really going to do that? I was just kidding, you know that right?" Sasuke asked with a small smile pulling at the corners of his lips.

"I was planning on doing it even if you hadn't asked for it this morning," Itachi replied, heading for the Uchiha Mansion. "Though I have to admit I don't feel happy celebrating your birthday here of all places. It seems like it's one of those make-your-parents-proud moments."

"Don't worry too much about that," Sasuke comforted his brother, "I think we've done enough to humiliate them that one small proud moment won't be too big of a deal."

"Your wisdom surpasses your years," Itachi laughed, not waiting for a response from his brother has he headed inside the house.

"Naruto?" Kakashi asked when he opened his door to reveal an orange jump-suited ninja.

"Hi Sensei," Naruto greeted, "I heard you came home yesterday. How's the search for Sasuke going?"

Kakashi had been assigned to find his student from the day he went missing. The Hokage had said that it would be easier to find the young ninja if people he was close to were looking for him...it hadn't seemed to help considering all the months that they kept searching

"Come inside," Kakashi demanded, retreating farther into his house and leaving the door open for his guest.

"What's up?" Naruto asked curiously, closing the door behind him, "Did you find him?"

"We have a definite trail," Kakashi explained, "We're heading over as soon as night falls."

"Where do you think he is?" Naruto asked, plopping himself down in one of the chairs that were sitting in Kakashi's living room.

"The Uchiha Estate," Kakashi answered, "It's a long shot; no one thought that he'd return there after all this time, but it is a possibility."

"What's going to happen to him?" Naruto asked with some concern.

"No idea," Kakashi answered truthfully, "We've been ordered to hand them both over directly to the Hokage. She'll have to deal with them herself."

"Do you think Sasuke's okay?" Naruto asked anxiously.

"We'll see," Kakashi said, turning into his kitchen and packing up the rations.

Uh...it's been awhile, huh? I just haven't been able to write much recently, but I'm hoping I kicked off the writers block and updates will get put up regularly...no promises, but I will be trying my best..
