Hey guys! No, I did not fall off the face of the earth… I was working on this next chapter, honest! Ok, not really, but anyways… I just finished a crap load of work that my professors decided to give me. They formed an alliance just to keep me busy. I know their evil plan. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!

"You're going to be late if you keep pacing around," Neji commented while reading a book. Sasuke was pacing around the room because of a text from Itachi, See you soon.

"Does that mean he's coming?" Sasuke mumbled to himself. Neji looked up from his book and sighed. He got up and grabbed Sasuke's arms making him stop.

"Music, 5 minutes. Go," Neji reminded Sasuke while he glared at him. Sasuke shrugged Neji's arms off and took a deep breath to calm down. He quickly grabbed his jacket and walked into the hallway. It didn't take him long to reach the door to the court yard from his dorm and almost sprinted towards the building where his music class was being held. Before he reached the middle of court yard he was pulled backwards by the back of his jacket at the same time a biker drove past him at a blazing speed. Sasuke finally released the breath that he was holding and only now he realized that he was being held tightly as if he was going to fall off a cliff. He moved his head sideways to see who was his savior, only to come in contact with very familiar blue eyes and that dazzling fox like smile.

"You should watch where you're going, Sasuke," Naruto purred while still holding Sasuke from behind.

"What do you think you're doing?" Sasuke growled.

"Saving your life?"

"Well, you can let go now," Sasuke tried removing Naruto's arms from around his body.

"Wow, I don't even get a thanks," Naruto chuckled.

"What?" Sasuke said to him like it was the most ridiculous request in the world. Naruto only responded by tightening his grip in him and bringing Sasuke even closer as if the heat around them wasn't suffocating enough for Sasuke. "Ok, ok… T-thanks," Sasuke tried to slip away again.

"That wasn't even a sincere thank you," Naruto pouted and turned Sasuke around so he was facing him. Naruto still kept one arm around Sasuke and used the other hand to lift Sasuke's chin up so he was looking directly at him, "I would really like a sincere thank you," Naruto gave his signature fox like smile. Sasuke hesitated at first, but seeing as this is the only way he'll ever get to class he decided to comply with the larger seme and blushed.

"Thank you, Naruto, for saving me," Sasuke said in a soft tone. Something flashed in Naruto's eyes too fast for Sasuke to register, but Naruto let go, grabbed Sasuke's hand, and started walking towards the music room. "W-what are you doing?" Sasuke tried not to think that they were holding hands.

"Walking you to your next class," Naruto smirked.

"What? Why? No!" Sasuke glared and tried to slip his hand away, but only to be reminded that Naruto was as strong as an ox. Sasuke finally complied with Naruto and let him drag the other to the classroom. When he got there, Sasuke was about to turn the doorknob before Naruto stopped him by placing his hand over his.

"I don't get a goodbye kiss?" Naruto again smirked. Sasuke only glared back at him.

"Don't push it, dobe," he turned the knob of the door and opened it. The class was filled with students and most of them had all their instruments and notebooks to the side while Sasuke was only carrying a small bag of a pencil and a binder.

"Ah, so glad you can join us, Sasuke," Kakashi smiled at Sasuke and then set his eyes on Naruto. "Might I ask why you are here, Mr. Uzumaki?" Naruto said nothing and only gave his signature smirk to the students in the class that swooned. Sasuke rolled his eyes at him and prepared to sit at an empty desk. "Before you sit, Sasuke, you said you would perform today?" Sasuke swallowed a lump in his throat. He completely forgot about that. Naruto held in a laugh that was trying to come out while the others students were either too entranced by Naruto's presence or looking at Sasuke waiting for him to embarrass himself. Sasuke took a deep breath and took a step towards the front of the class before Naruto grabbed his arm.

"Actually Kakashi, I came by to tell you that Tsunade has asked me to show Sasuke and a special guest around campus. So, I'll be stealing Sasuke for the day," Naruto winked at Sasuke who didn't say a word. Kakashi mulled it over for a second before allowing Naruto to take Sasuke. Both guys walked into the court yard before Sasuke turned around to face Naruto.

"Nice excuse, although I'll have to sing for him eventually," Sasuke told Naruto.

"No probs," Naruto smirked.

"I guess I'll go back to my dorm then."

"Actually no," Naruto again stopped Sasuke. Sasuke was about to say something when he was interrupted.

"Ah, hello otouto," Sasuke's eyes were bulging out of his head when he turned to see Itachi standing next to them with a big smirk on his face. "What, are you not happy to see me, Sasuke?" Itachi gave him an obvious fake frown.

"W-what are you doing here, Itachi?" stuttered out still in shock that his overprotective older maniac of a brother was at his university. Itachi ignored his question and turned his attention to the larger blond male.

"You must be Naruto Uzumaki," Naruto nodded and Itachi extended his hand to Naruto, which he took. "My name is Itachi Uchiha, and I am sure you must know my brother. Why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend, Sasuke?" Sasuke almost choked on air at this accusation.

"WHAT!? What makes you think that?" Sasuke asked. Itachi looked at him with a concerned look.

"Well, the fact that you haven't let go of his hand since you exited that building," Itachi pointed at their intertwined hands. Sasuke quickly shook his hand out as if it burned him.

"We are NOT together in any way, shape, or form," Sasuke corrected his brother. Deciding this could be a golden opportunity Naruto grabbed his hand again.

"Aww, come on babe. Don't treat me like this just because your brother his here," Naruto was about to brush Sasuke's hair away when Sasuke smacked it away and released his hand from Naruto.

"I said don't push it Uzumaki or you'll lose that hand," Sasuke glared at the annoying blond.

"Is this our first fight?" Naruto asked in mocked seriousness. Sasuke was about to lash out at him when Itachi put his arm between.

"You can wrestle with your boyfriend later, otouto," Itachi teased.

"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" Sasuke rubbed his temples stuck between the two most annoying people ever in his life. Sasuke sighed and decided to ignore the bumbling idiot that was Naruto. "Why are you here, aniki?"

"I am here to see your university. To make sure it lives up to my standards. Naruto here will be our guide around the campus," Itachi explained to his younger brother. "Now if you will Mr. Uzumaki. Please, proceed."

It was an hour or two at the end of going around the entire campus. Naruto teasing Sasuke and giving him innuendos that Itachi found pretty cute and funny how this one guy and make his little brother, who is known to not show emotion, so flustered. It actually put a smile no his face how Sasuke was acting very childish around this blond.

"Thank you for the tour, now if you can excuse us, Naruto, I would like to talk to my brother alone," Naruto nodded and left the two Uchihas in the hallway. Sasuke leaned on the wall while Itachi was smiling like an idiot at him.

"What?" Sasuke asked completely miserable about the whole tour.

"I haven't seen you like this since the divorce," Sasuke looked away at the window. That moment in time he didn't particularly like to remember. From that moment on he was certain that love is nothing but an illusion, made up by lonely old men to make money. That love only exists in fairy tales and even then it seems sketchy.

"How could he leave her like that… Out in the cold. For that whore," Sasuke mumbled trying to hold back his tears. Itachi hugged his younger brother trying to comfort him. Sasuke was just a small child when his father forcibly threw his loving mother out the door along with only a couple of articles of clothing while tears flowed out of her eyes. It took Itachi a few days before he got the courage to confront his father and said that he will take Sasuke with him and live with his mother. Itachi's last words to his father were 'You are no father of mine. You're a selfish bastard who threw out the only woman that cared about him. I hope you can learn to live with your pitiful worthless self'. Itachi pulled away from his brother and made him look him in the eye. "Things are better now. I own the richest company in the country and soon you will too. There is nothing that can keep an Uchiha down," Itachi hugged his brother one more time before he excused himself out of the hallway.

Itachi walked out on the courtyard and spotted a mess of blond hair. "Uzumaki!" Itachi yelled. The blond turned around and Itachi instructed the blond to follow him. Naruto did hesitate at first but he knew that Itachi meant no harm. Itachi lead the blond to the side of a building were no cameras had a sight of. Something he has been keep track of from the tour.

Out of nowhere Itachi slammed Naruto into the wall and held him there with amazing strength that knocked the wind out of Naruto. "Now listen to me, Naruto. I am going to ask you one question, and one question only. Your precious little university's future will depend on this one question," Itachi whispered to Naruto while Naruto eyes were as wide as they can be. "Yes, I know that this university is getting close to bankruptcy. Also, you better answer me with full honesty or they'll be hell to pay," Naruto struggled and tried to push Itachi and only managed to push him an inch or two but Itachi slammed him back onto the wall. "You've got some strength there. However, it's futile. Now, let me give you some information before I ask this question. There is only one thing I hold dear in this world and that is my brother, Sasuke. If it ever comes to my knowledge that he has gotten hurt, let it be physically or mentally, and that you are responsible for it then you'll be wishing for your life to end. I will make sure with all my power that you will never get a job or help from any company or business anywhere on this planet. I'll make sure no willing patron will ever let you live in their household and that you will live on the streets as a homeless beggar waiting for his life to end during those cold winters," Naruto glared at this fool trying to threaten him. Obviously he did not know who Naruto was. "Are you listening to me, Uzumaki? Your smirking surely means that you think you have the upper hand. Let me assure you that I know exactly who you are. You think that being the son of the Namikaze will save you from this future. Ha, there is no greater suffering, nor pain than the wrath of an Uchiha. That, Naruto, I can assure you. Now, what are your intentions with my brother?" Naruto stopped his struggle and looked at Itachi. Itachi studied his face for a moment or so before he let the young male go. Naruto could feel the rage and anger Itachi was radiating and it was stifling to say the least.

"Aniki?" Sasuke appeared around the corner wondering why Itachi and Naruto were glaring at each other. As though in a second the tension that Naruto felt between him and Itachi dissipated and Itachi looked at Sasuke with at Sasuke with a smile.

"Hey Sasuke, I was just telling Naruto that he better wear a condom when you two are fucking like rabbits," Sasuke turned red as a tomato and facepalmed. "Well, my ride is here. I'll text you later Sasuke. Oh, and Naruto… Remember what I told you," Itachi waved good bye and entered left the campus. Sasuke waved until he could not his brother's luxurious car and turned back to Naruto.

"Why were you two glaring at each other then?" Sasuke questioned Naruto not completely contempt with Itachi's answer. Naruto smirked and leaned against the wall very close to Sasuke.

"Oh nothing, he didn't really appreciate it when I told him that you said you loved riding my dick bareback," Naruto smiled brightly.

"B-but I never said that!" Naruto laughed out loud at how easy it was to rile the little Uchiha.

"Calm down, it was a joke not a dick, don't take it so hard," Naruto brushed past Sasuke and turned the corner towards the cafe. Sasuke glared at the retreating back of the blond.

"I can't stand that idiot," Sasuke walked about two feet before he saw Gaara leave his dorm building and he knew, from Neji, that Gaara had an apartment off campus. Sasuke ducked under some benches spying on Gaara. Sasuke saw some movements in the windows just when Neji slammed their dorm window shut. "Well, he's pissed."

"Who is?" Sasuke jumped and hit his head on the top of the bench. He stepped back out of the bench and rubbed his head. When he opened his eyes he saw an extended hand that came from a guy who looked very similar to the annoying blond, except this one had browns hair and dark eyes. Sasuke took the helping hand and stood up. "I didn't mean to startle you, but you know, spying is kind of rude."

"Yeah, sorry I just know the red head and he came out of dorm building. I was just curious."

"Oh you mean, Gaara. Well, there are other dorms other than yours in that building. How do you know he was at yours?"

"Well, Neji slammed the window at the exact.. What a minute," Sasuke now noticed that some girls were watching them and drooling over the guy he was talking to. Sasuke looked the guy over again and the guy responded by raising an eyebrow at Sasuke's actions. "Hmm, good looks, fan girls, not red or blond hair…I'm guessing you must be Kiba." Sasuke deduced.

"Good guess," Kiba laughed while Sasuke walked away from the brunette. "Woah woah, where are you going?"

"Away from you. You and your little 'friends' cause me nothing, but a headache."

"Aww come on, I'm not that bad of a guy," Kiba tried to convince Sasuke. Sasuke chuckled.

"I'll believe it when I see it," Sasuke folded his arms over his chest and looked at Kiba.

"Come on, don't judge a book by its cover," Kiba gave a toothy smile.

"How original," Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"So… you really think I'm good looking?" Kiba wiggled his eyebrows at Sasuke. Sasuke couldn't help but roll his eyes again. Suddenly a flash of pink came between the two guys and started hugging Kiba and rubbing hands on his neck.

"Kiba-kun, Naru wants us in the café for some lunch," Kiba was still looking at Sasuke before he turned his attention to the pink haired girl. She looked at where Kiba had his eyes and looked at Sasuke. "Ew, what's that?" She pointed at the Uchiha. Sasuke was ready to slap this 'pink haired bimbo' as he'd like to call her.

"Sakura, this is.. um."

"Sasuke," Sasuke finished what Kiba was saying.

"Sasuke?" Sakura said as the name sounded familiar but she just couldn't put her finger on it. "What are you doing here?"

"Just leaving," Sasuke walked past the two.

"Wait, Sasuke," Kiba tried to stop him.

"It's ok, king dobe awaits," Sasuke said without ever looking back as he headed towards the dorms building hoping that Neji wasn't tearing their room apart.
