AN: Oh wow. So I know I haven't updated in such a long time, but I promise! You'll really want to read this! It's getting pretty good! And I'm already pretty sure that I know how the story will end. So it won't be left unfinished!! Read and enjoy.

Itachi felt the buzz of victory soaring through his veins with every step they took, nearing the hideout.

Again, they had teleported, and again Kisame had bitched about fish and flying but it was now a mere jumble of words to Itachi. All he could think about was the mass heaved over his left shoulder: his otouto, who had finally returned to him. At last, as the cave came into view, Itachi picked up the pace even more, practically running.

Kisame snickered, thinking. 'He looks like a little child with candy. I've never seen him so happy.'

:--:

Sasuke could feel the stare. He knew someone was watching him… but who? As hard as he tried, he couldn't open his eyes; nor could he move even one muscle in his body. He felt anger and frustration build up inside him because he felt weak- even more frustration built when he couldn't even frown or glare.

'Okay, think teme, think!' Sasuke thought to himself. 'You can't move. Anything.'

'You can't see…'

'Three senses left.'

'Nothing to taste, nothing to smell… Those wont get someone's attention.'

'Hear…'

'Hear! Can I speak?'

Sasuke tried, but couldn't open his mouth. He let out a small whimper of defeat- then he heard it. He tried it again, finally noticing he was making actual sound. Taking a deep breath, he let out a crying whine for anyone to hear, but then abruptly stopped, feeling a hand touch his cheek.

:--:

'His skin looks so beautiful in the moonlight…' thought Itachi, who had been watching his otouto 'sleep'. Sasuke's features glowed in the pale white illumination; his peaceful expression turning him into some kind of god in the eyes of his older brother.

Itachi's thoughts of how much Sasuke had grown into a beautiful young teen were put aside as a small sound met his ears. 'So he's coming around…' Itachi stood, walking over to the bed. Sasuke let out an alarming cry, figuring out he could at least produce muffled sound.

Touching his face, Itachi sat next to his brother who was currently lying on his bed.

"Shhh… Glad to have you back with us, Otouto."

Then Sasuke remembered everything. Naruto, shark-face, Itachi…Itachi! 'Oh no… Itachi knocked me out… Where am I??' Sasuke wondered, but really was pretty sure he already knew. He was in hell.

Sasuke let out a growl at his older brother.

"Oh Sasuke, you're older than that. Don't be such a brat.

"Just so you know, you're in a binding jutsu. That's why you can't move. But I guess I could at least let you see me… It's been so long…" Itachi released the jutsu on Sasuke's eyes.

Sasuke peered through the darkness of the room to see his older brother's glowing Sharingan gazing at him.

"I've missed you, Otouto." Itachi said, leaning in closer, their faces centimeters apart.

'What the hell is he doing?' Sasuke thought, as his brother's breath washed over his pale cheeks.

"More than you know." Then Itachi closed the gap between them, kissing Sasuke to prove his point.

'Aghh! What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck?!' Sasuke couldn't breathe, let alone move to pull away. Instead, he let out a protesting noise.

Itachi pulled back slightly, with one final brush of his lips on Sasuke's and began to gently stroke the bridge of Sasuke's nose with one finger.

"Don't worry, Otouto. You like it." Itachi said. With one last loving look at his brother, he walked out of the room.

'The hell, I like it?! What is wrong with me?!'

Sasuke was left in an enormous cloud of hazy confusion.

After Naruto had round up the other eight rookies and explained the situation a tad differently than what he had told Tsunade- to save the embarrassment and torment from his friends discovering his difference in sexuality- they all headed to the front wall entrance to meet the Hokage.

"Here!" Naruto called, approaching the gate as frantically as the rest.

"Hokage-sama, what are your plans?" Kiba asked- Akamaru yipping in agreement.

"Go to the Akatsuki hideout in the Rain village. Uchiha Itachi has captured Sasuke and presumably taken him there. Nara Shikamaru is the leader. Azuma, Gai, Kakashi, and Kurenai will meet you in the rain village. Follow their orders and get Sasuke back to his home. Go."

They all turned and ran out of the gate.

"Naruto."

Naruto stopped, turning toward Tsunade, anxiously glancing back at the group; he'd have to catch up.

"Go to my office."

"What?! The-" Naruto pointed at the eight running ahead, past the forests.

"I said go to my office. You're not going along."

After a moment his mind took to even comprehend what she had said, he burst.

"ARE YOU KIDDING?! HE'S MY SASUKE, AND YOU'RE NOT LETTING ME SAVE HIM?!" The blonde said, white-hot anger burning all around him.

"Go to my office, or do I have to force you?" Tsunade said sternly, but still keeping her cool.

"No!" Naruto yelled, then turned around and started running to catch up with the rest of the group.

In a flash, the blonde found himself on the ground on his back, Tsunade having a death grip on his wrist. "When will you learn to listen to me?"

Naruto fought to scramble away from her, but her grip was too strong. Tsunade quickly transported into her office, throwing Naruto into a chair in front of her desk, then locking and sealing all of the doors.

Naruto frantically started screaming at her. "Traitor! You want Sasuke to die! I hate you, you old hag!"

"Naruto." Tsunade seemed in a complete calm.

"WHAT?!"

"I don't expect you to understand, but this is a trap to kill you, not Sasuke."

"What?! They were in the apartment. They tried." Naruto frantically waved his hands. "I'm still alive, aren't I??"

Tsunade rubbed her temples in annoyance.

"Again, I don't expect you to understand. But what I do expect is some obedience. DO NOT go after Sasuke, and that's an order. Got it, Uzumaki?" Tsunade demanded sternly.

"But-"

"Naruto. This is a direct order from the Hokage. Respect it." She said, releasing the seals on the doors.

"Now go home."

Naruto stormed out of the office, running back to Sasuke's abandoned apartment and collapsed on their bed in a fit of tears.

"It's never home without Sasuke..." Naruto whispered, sobbing.

That night, Naruto cried until he had no more and passed out in a pool of tears.
