In this installment, Sai has a realization; you get a little Neji/Gaara, a little Itachi/Dei, a little Kakashi/Iruka, and a lot of Sasuke/Naruto. I want to dedicate this chapter to tsweet24, crownymars, igotmoneymoney, WraithReaper, you guys have reviewed almost every chapter and I really appreciate it. I also want to dedicate it to ofeliarage; I hope this makes up for the first Sasu/Naru. I hope you enjoy this installment and also, I will only be updating once a week from now on since you are all caught up to where I am.

Chapter Twenty-Six

"I told you, you're wasting your time," Gaara said as Sai caught his hand and pulled him against his body. "I'll never betray Neji. I love him and only him."

"You might love me too, you never know," Sai purred down at the petit redhead who stood still in his arms. He had been trying for almost two days to get at least one of the tasty siblings to sleep with him, to try and cause a crack in their perfect relationships without success and he was getting irritated now. Sasuke and Itachi never let their lovers near him without them being present so he had no chance to try and steal Naruto away from Sasuke yet, and to top it all off Shin was avoiding him as spent more time with the blond American vascular surgeon causing Sai to become even more irritated because he was dividing his attention between the siblings and Shin.

"I don't think so Sai," Gaara said as he turned his gaze to the silver haired man standing in the lobby shuffling through flash cards that had his speech written on them. "Isn't that your friend?" he asked as he tried to step out of the expressionless man's embrace.

Sai's eyes narrowed as Shin smiled up at a blond foreigner who stopped in front of him. His arms dropped to the sides as he watched the blond wrap his arm around Shin's shoulders and squeezed them reassuringly causing Sai to growl low in his throat. "Hn," he grunted, recovering himself as Gaara stepped away. "He means nothing to me. I'd rather have you," Sai said seductively as he reached for the petit beauty again only to have his hand caught in a crushing grip.

"Is there a problem here, unwanted patron?" Neji asked his voice a low growl as he crushed the hand in his grasp.

Sai wrenched his hand free, rubbing it until the tingling disappeared as he glared at Neji. "Nothing your absence wouldn't fix," he said menacingly as Neji took a step forward.

"Bring it on, cocksucker," Neji growled as his eyes flashed.

"Neji, I need to see you in our suite for a few hours," Gaara said breathlessly as he watched the sparks fly between his lover and his annoyance.

"Huh?" Neji asked absently, not taking his eyes off of the crow in front of him.

"I need you back in our suite, Neji," Gaara said as he covertly caressed Neji's backside with his hand, pinching a firm globe before walking away. "Are you cumming?" he asked seductively as he looked back over his shoulder causing his statuesque caveman to chortle helplessly before giving up his glaring competition with Sai and follow along behind.

Sai looked back towards the entrance to the conference room, but Shin and the blond had already disappeared causing him to growl again.

"Sai, I think you have the wrong impression of me and my otoutos. I know some gay men might be the party type, but we're not like them. We're the faithful type like nesters. We want only one lover, to get married, and raise a family with that lover," Iruka said as he placed the pastries Sai ordered into a bag. "I told you this the other day. I love Kakashi and the others love their lovers, and nothing's going to change that. You should find someone to love who will love you back."

"I don't have anyone who would love me like you love Hatake-san," Sai said hopelessly suppressing Shin's smiling image as he tried to gain Iruka's sympathy.

"Have you tried?" Iruka asked as he gave Sai his total.

Sai wanted to scream in frustration. None of the siblings were taking his bait. "Yes I've tried," he lied. "No one wants a serious relationship; and I know you're faithful to Hatake-san, but what makes you so sure he's faithful to you, Iruka-san? Don't forget, Hatake-san is the manager for many of Japan's top models. He could have any man or woman he wants," Sai tried a new approach smirking to himself when he saw doubt crossing Iruka's features.

"Iruka has nothing to fear at all as far as that is concerned because there is no person more beautiful than Iruka in the whole world," Kakashi said as his eyes flashed with anger at his brother-in-law's nephew. He wanted to snap his scrawny neck for trying to get Iruka to doubt him. He turned and smiled at his beloved. "Are you ready to go yet?"

"Almost, Sai is my last customer," Iruka said as he stepped around the counter.

"Well, seeing how Sai was just leaving, I'll put up the 'out to lunch' sign," Kakashi said as he glared at the dark haired man. He put the sign up in the door before walking back to the counter and held out his hand to Iruka. "Come on, sweetheart. Everyone will be waiting," Kakashi said as he grabbed a bag of Iruka's favorite deserts and dragged him to the door.

"I guess that's my cue to go," Sai said sadly as Kakashi stared pointedly at the door.

"Yes it is," Kakashi agreed as he continued to glare at the snake. Who knows what damage he could have done if he hadn't arrived in time.

Iruka watched sympathetically as Sai shuffled to the doorway. "Would you like to join us?" he asked. He could never stand to see someone treated like an outcast, even if Sai deserved it from time to time.

Kakashi stared disbelieving at his lover, mouth agape as Sai smiled his wide, fake smile and accepted. Iruka gave him directions to the park where they were meeting the others and watched as Sai swept from the building. "I cannot believe you just did that, 'Ruka," Kakashi said. "That boy has never been anything but trouble! And I can only imagine what Sasuke and Itachi are going to say."

"'Kashi, it just doesn't feel right to leave him out. I know he's a pain in the ass and he's sneaky, but if he sees that we are all truly in love with our lovers, I think he'll leave us alone," Iruka said hopefully.

Kakashi looked down into wide innocent brown eyes and knew he had lost. "I wouldn't hold my breath, love," he said before kissing his nose. "You're too good to people."

"Not really. If he tries to get me to doubt you again, I'm gonna kick his ass myself," Iruka said before snatching a swift kiss from Kakashi's lips. "Let's go."

"But, Hyuga-san, we wouldn't dream of imposing upon you," Shin said as he and his brother-in-law stood in the lobby of the hotel.

"It's no imposition at all. Any friend of Sai's is a friend of mine," Neji said stiffly trying to convince the man in front of him as well as himself of that statement's veracity. He and the raven brothers had received a text from Kakashi earlier informing them Iruka had invited Sai to lunch with the family and none of them were happy about it. He started formulating a plan on how to deal with Sai when Gaara had told him about Sai's reaction to the smaller man and the American being together earlier and it intrigued him. He had already texted the raven brothers and Kakashi to let them know his plan to bring Shin and the American to the park with him and Gaara before setting off to find the silver haired man.

"Sam?" Shin said as he looked to his brother-in-law. He was hoping the older man would rescue him from a fate worse than Hell. The last thing he wanted to do was watch Sai try to woo Naruto and his brothers.

"I think it'll be fun, Shin," Sam said in flawless Japanese. He was sure the man in front of him liked Sai no more than he did, but he also suspected he had a reason to invite him and Shin if he was reading the shrewd violet eyes correctly. All he needed to do was to take his cues from the situation and protect his beloved brother-in-law or his wife would kill him. He ignored Shin's glare as he smiled at the men in front of him.

Shin sighed deeply at being abandoned by his brother before smiling at Neji and Gaara. "We'd love to join you for lunch. It's been a long time since I've been to a Japanese style garden and I don't think Sam has been in one since he and nee-chan married. Thank you for inviting us," he said with small bow and a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.

Gaara bowed his head slightly. "If you would like, you can ride with us," he offered.

"I have a rental," Sam declined. He had already pushed Shin far enough for one day; he didn't want to press his luck any further.

Neji smiled with relief. "If you'll follow us, then," he said as he and Gaara led the way.

"Stimulating," Itachi said in a mild voice as he read Neji's text. He dropped his phone on the bed and pulled his angel into his arms and placed a kiss on his neck, sucking the sensitive skin as he marked his lover as his own. He leaned back, satisfied with the deep purple mark that stood out like a stamp of ownership against the smooth column of skin.

"What's so stimulating?" Deidara asked as he shivered slightly. He had come home to get the boys' baseball equipment and was pleasantly surprised to see Itachi there too, changing clothes since he hadn't planned on seeing him until later that night.

"You," Itachi said as he kissed Deidara's full lips.

"Trying to distract me?" he asked as he leaned into Itachi trying to gain more of the devil's heat.

"Are you distracted, little Deidara?" Itachi asked in his smooth voice causing Deidara to shudder more.

"We have to meet the rest of the family," Deidara breathed as he turned in Itachi's arms. He wanted nothing more than to get lost in the beloved onyx eyes and savory lips, but his little monsters wanted to play in the park. He had been enjoying the past few days as Itachi staked his claim on him over and over again in front of Sai making Deidara feel loved and wanted by the dark devil that held his heart so firmly in his grip.

"Hn," Itachi grunted. "Later," he promised as he caressed the golden cheek smiling to himself as Deidara closed his eyes and leaned into his touch. He brushed his thumb across the plump top lip before stepping away. If he didn't let go now, he wouldn't be able to later. "I'll be waiting downstairs," he said before picking up his phone, turning away, and walking out the door.

"'Tachi," Deidara whispered before darting down the hall to get the boys' things from their room.

Naruto chased Daisuke through the park as they waited for the others to arrive. Sasuke was supposed to be there already, but Mikoto called and told him that his beloved teme had to go over a design with one of his people to meet an important deadline before he could get away. Naruto busied himself with his precious little boy as Daisuke ran from him, squealing as he went. "I'm gonna get you, Daisuke," Naruto yelled. "Here I come!"

He ran by a tree and felt two strong arms reach out and snag him. "Sasuke, teme, I was afraid you wouldn't make it," he laughed as he let the arms draw him closer.

"If I were Sasuke, I'd never let you run around alone," Sai said as he tried to control his anger at the blond calling him Sasuke. "Someone might do this," he said as he pinned Naruto to the tree and shoved his body against his.

"Get the fuck off of me," Naruto growled as he fought against the bigger man.

"I don't think so, Naruto. I've been waiting for two days now to get you alone and now that I have you, I'm going to enjoy it," Sai said as he lowered his head to take Naruto's plump lips with his.

Naruto bit down as Sai tried to force his mouth open with his tongue, drawing blood. "You little bitch," Sai said as he pulled back on Naruto's hair and slammed his left arm against the tree causing just enough pain to stun the fighting blond in his arms. He moved in for another kiss. All he needed was for Sasuke to see the blond in his arms and think he was responding to him. He was sure Sasuke would devastated enough to break it off with the blond and then he could deal with the situation with Shin.

Naruto couldn't move with Sai pinning him against the tree so firmly. He turned his head to the side, trying to avoid the unwanted contact of the crow's lips as Sai pulled his hair tighter to hold his head still. "Sai, listen to me… Stop this now," he said as he avoided the moist lips.

"No way, I want you too much," Sai said as he continued to try and capture Naruto's lips with his.

"No you don't," Naruto tried to reason with him. "You're just causing more trouble with Sasuke. You guys are family for fuck's sake," he growled

"I don't care if he's family. I want you and I will have you," Sai said confidently. He loosened his grip in the blond hair and moved his body back just a hair's breadth but it was all the room Naruto needed. He head butted Sai in the lips and brought his knee up into his groin, breathing a sigh of relief when the crow crumpled to the ground.

"You son of a bitch," Naruto spat standing over the prone man as he coughed and cupped his manhood. "You could never take me from Sasuke. I belong to him mind, body, and soul. I love him… I love Sasuke and Daisuke more than I love my own life and I would never betray them," he rasped as he clenched his left arm gingerly to him. It felt as though Sai had broken it again, but the cast was still whole without a chip or crack in it.

"Why you little…" Sai started as he tried to gain his feet.

"You heard him Sai, leave it alone if you know what's good for you," Sasuke said as he stood behind Naruto holding Daisuke's hand. Daisuke had come to get him as soon as he had lost sight of his okaa-san just as Sasuke pulled up and led his father to where he had last seen Naruto. Sasuke alternated between shaking with rage at Sai for putting his hands on his dobe, and happiness at Naruto's confession as he and Daisuke glared daggers at the crow crumpled on the ground.

Naruto hoped for a hole to open up in the ground and swallow him up. He kicked the fallen man at his feet viciously. "You motherfucker, I'll kill you!" Naruto screamed as he kicked Sai, tears streaming down his cheeks. "I'm gonna lose him now that he knows, you fucking dick! It's all your fault!" he continued to kick and cry until Sasuke pulled him away when he saw Sai was unconscious.

"Let me go, Sasuke… let me go!" Naruto yelled as he tried to get out of Sasuke's arms and run.

Sasuke grabbed Naruto by his right arm and slapped him across the face in an attempt to get him to calm down. He realized that it didn't work when Naruto broke free of his grasp and slapped him back causing the raven to clasp his cheek and stand staring at his dobe, stunned. "Don't ever hit me again," Naruto warned as he rubbed his cheek.

"Stop acting like a hysterical woman then," Sasuke said as he rubbed his cheek.

"Well, that was fun," Kakashi said as Iruka tried to hide his smile from his brother. "C'mon, Daisuke, I think otou-san and okaa-san need to talk for a minute," he said as he and Iruka grasped Sai under his arms and dragged him to the picnic area with the littlest raven following behind.

"I was lying," Naruto began, his eyes darting about wildly as he panicked. If he could get Sasuke to believe it, maybe he wouldn't leave him.

"Really," Sasuke said mildly as he advanced on his dobe, an unreadable expression on his face. He had been waiting for weeks to hear that confession and he'd be damned if he'd let the vixen take it back now.

"Yeah, I was," Naruto said as his mind scrambled for an explanation as he backed away from the advancing raven. "I thought that if he thought I loved you, he'd leave me alone."

"Is that right?" Sasuke asked as he continued to stalk his prey. "Smart thinking," he praised.

Naruto began to relax, thinking Sasuke had bought his story. "Yeah, well, I thought…" he began to embellish before Sasuke interrupted him.

"But it sounded to me like you were too angry to tell a lie Naru," Sasuke purred as Naruto hit the tree behind him. "It sounded like you really do love me."

Naruto whimpered as his back connected with the rough tree bark. "Sasuke, please… let's just forget about this," he begged as he put up a hand in a feeble attempt to ward off his beloved teme. He should have known he couldn't keep the secret for too long, but he never expected to be outed this early. He still needed time to prove to Sasuke that the raven needed him before he confessed.

Sasuke laced his fingers with the hand Naruto held up before stepping into the blonds' space. "I don't want to forget it, Naru. It sounded too good to forget," he purred as he nipped the fingertips one by one. "As a matter of fact, I want to hear you say it again," he demanded as he continued to kiss Naruto's hand while his sloe eyes bore into the wide, scared, sapphire eyes.

"Sasuke… please," he begged again as his breath caught on a sob. He would rather fight off a thousand rabid Sais who were foaming at the penis than confess to his beloved.

"Say it," Sasuke commanded as his voice and eyes took on a hard edge.

Naruto flinched as though Sasuke had struck him before closing his eyes. "I love you," he whispered, tears running down his face. "I truly love you more than I love my own life. I would give anything to have you, to be with you. I love Daisuke too. You both have been my life since we met…" he said only to be cut off by Sasuke's hot thin lips caressing his voraciously.

"Was this your secret you were hiding from me in France, Naruto?" Sasuke asked between kisses.

"Yes," Naruto cried as he clung to Sasuke. "Now you know and you'll leave me because you'll get bored with me."

"Baka," Sasuke said as he pulled Naruto's trembling body against his. "How can I get bored with you? You'll most likely be the death of me while I try to keep up with you," Sasuke said as he caressed the precious scarred cheek. He doubted his dobe could hear anything he said since he was crying so hard.

"I love you, Sasuke. I love you, I love you, I love you," Naruto chanted as he clung to Sasuke, never wanting to let him go. "Don't leave me…" he begged.

"Baka," Sasuke said gently. "Why would I leave my dobe?" he asked as he kissed Naruto deeply. "It took me a lifetime to find you. I love you, too Naruto," he said when he pulled back.

"Sasuke… Sasuke… Sasuke… I love you so much," Naruto cried as he clung to his raven.

Sasuke pulled Naruto into his arms as he sat on the ground smiling contentedly to himself. He would remember this day until the day he died as he held the weeping vixen close. It would forever be known as the day he had finally won his beloved dobe's heart.

"I hope okaa-san's okay," Daisuke said as he chewed his hot dog.

"I think okaa-san is going to be better than okay," Iruka said as he smoothed the little boy's spiked hair.

"I don't know," the little one said doubtfully as he put his head on his fist. "Otou-san and okaa-san were hitting their ch'others when we left."

"Sometimes, grownups need to hit each other to work it out; especially when they're as hard headed as your otou-san and okaa-san," Kakashi said. "Now let's not say anything to anyone else about what happened earlier when they get here, okay? It'll be our little secret," he said as he tried to bribe the little boy with a treat.

Daisuke's eyes lit up as he took the sucker from Kakashi. "OK oji-san," the little boy said as he popped the treat into his mouth

"That's my boy," Kakashi said as he ruffled the littlest raven's hair.

"Bribery, Kakashi?" Iruka asked as the child swung his legs as he licked his sucker.

"You want a bribe too?" Kakashi asked playfully as he pulled out a pastry for Iruka. He pulled the corner off of the treat and popped it into his mouth before handing it over as he looked over at Sai who was still out cold behind the tree.

"What's all this?" Mikoto asked as she, Fugaku, Koyuki, Fuyuki, and the twins arrived to find Sai knocked into a sound sleep on the ground.

Kakashi smiled like the bandit he is as he explained. "Well, Naruto beat the shit out of Sai when Sasuke overheard Naruto tell Sai he loved Sasuke and Daisuke more than his own life," Kakashi started as Mikoto covered her mouth and screamed with joy.

"Oji-san, you said it is our secret," Daisuke said, upset that he couldn't tell his grandmother about what happened himself.

"I lied, squirt," Kakashi said as Iruka slapped his chest lightly before picking the littlest raven up and cooing to him. "Daisuke has already had lunch, so I gave him a treat."

"More like a bribe to keep him quiet while you gossip like a fishmonger," Iruka grumbled as he put the little boy down so he could go to his cousins, chattering excitedly about what happened. "I knew it would only be a matter of time before Naruto said it. Now if only Deidara would stop dragging his feet," he said.

"Stop dragging my feet about what?" Deidara said as he and Itachi approached followed by Neji, Gaara, and their guests.

Daisuke started to open his mouth but Koyuki smoothly cupped her hand over it when she saw Iruka's panicked look. "We thought you would have already been here with the baseball stuff by now Dei-chan," she smiled brightly at her uncle.

"Oh, well… sorry, I was distracted," Deidara said as a light blush spread across his cheeks. "Where's Naruto? He's supposed to be team captain too."

"Naru-chan hurt his arm and Sasuke is helping him," Fuyuki said quickly before the twins could speak to cover up for the adults while his father beamed at him and his sister proudly.

"I'll be the other team captain," Itachi offered. He could tell the family was hiding something from him and Deidara, but he knew he'd never get it out of the adults and older kids. His only chance to discover what had happened was to talk to the little ones. "Daisuke, Kei, and Kai you're on my team."

"But that's not fair, Itachi," Deidara said. "The boys were supposed to be on my team."

"Well, I guess we're not playing baseball since we can't even figure out teams," Kakashi said. "Looks like 'Ruka-chan and I will be taking the little ones with us to skip rocks." He smiled brightly at Itachi, overjoyed that he had outmaneuvered him causing Itachi to growl. He gloated as he and Iruka led the children away followed by Mikoto and Fugaku.

"What the hell just happened here?" Deidara asked bewildered as he watched the others go.

"Don't ask me, we just got here too," Gaara said as his brother turned his eyes to him. "I thought nii-chan invited Sai too, but I haven't seen him yet," he said as his jade eyes scanned the tree line.

They heard a groan come from behind a tree and moved toward the sound. "Oh Kami-sama, what happened to Sai!" Shin said as he tried to rush forward only to be stopped by his brother-in-law who stood smirking down at the battered man. He had dreamed of seeing Sai like this since Shin had started dating the asshole and he wouldn't let his little brother take away the pleasure so quickly.

When Deidara tried to step forward, Itachi grabbed him by the arm and held him back too. Neji sighed and stepped forward to check on the moaning man before Gaara tried to. "Hey, what happened to you?" he asked as he slapped the side of his face.

"Stop it you bastard! That hurts," Sai said as he slapped Neji's hand away. He opened his eyes to see everybody standing around him but his eyes zeroed in on Shin who was standing in the foreigner's arms looking nervously down at him.

"What the Hell are you doing here?" Sai asked as he pushed Neji away, gripped his ribs and sat up glaring at Shin, grimacing at the swollen tightness of his lips and licking crusted blood from where the blond had hit him.

"We were invited, weren't we, honey," Sam said as he pulled Shin closer to him.

"What are you doing?" Shin asked nervously.

"Expressing my love," Sam said as he caressed Shin's cheek causing his eyes to widen.

"Get your fucking hands off of him," Sai growled. He struggled to his feet, breathing raggedly as he glared at the American. "Shin is mine!"

"You say that, but you don't hesitate to hurt him as much as you can and take advantage of him every chance you get so no… I don't think I will take my hands off of Shin. I love him and he's moving back to the States with me," Sam said as he gazed down into Shin's eyes, silently begging him to trust him.

"THE HELL HE IS!" Sai screamed as he threw himself at the American who dodged his attack effortlessly. Sai fell to the ground again as his strength deserted him. "Shin…" he said as he bowed his head.

"Sa…" Shin started to go to him but Sam held him back again.

"Just a little more," Sam whispered as Shin chewed his lips. "Neji-san, would it be too difficult to transfer Shin to my suite?" he asked the violet eyed man who was thoroughly enjoying what was happening.

"Not difficult at all, Sam-san. Since the room is in Shin-san's name, Sai will have to vacate as soon as it's done…" Neji said as he and Itachi positively glowed with happiness.

"Shin…I'm… I'm sorry, Shin" Sai said as he clutched his ribs. "I'm an idiot… I don't deserve you, but… I love you Shin," he moaned as tears rolled down his cheeks while Shin covered his mouth and gasped. Sai never thought Shin would leave him. He took for granted Shin would always love him since he was always declaring his love for him, but seeing him in the arms of another man was too much for Sai to bear. "I need you, Shin…please. I'm so fucking sorry," he sobbed.

"Crocodile tears," the American scoffed as he held his little brother back. "Shin deserves better. He deserves someone who doesn't sleep around on him."

"I have never cheated on him…" Sai yelled.

"But you've tried," Sam said as he sauntered towards the broken man. "You plotted to sleep with any and all of these men's lovers, didn't you?" he asked as he bent down. "And now here you are crying for Shin because you know you can't have any of them. What do you think he is; a consolation prize?"

"Fuck you," Sai said as he tried to hit the man again only to miss again. "I have always loved Shin, but I just hate Sasuke so much…"

"Sasuke isn't your greatest fan either," Itachi scoffed.

"He should be, the fucking asshole," Sai muttered not bothering to look at Itachi or the American. His black gaze bore into Shin's. "Shin please. I know I should have listened to you… Give me another chance, please," he begged.

"Sai I…" Shin started as he darted a look towards his brother-in-law.

Sai struggled to his feet and stumbled over to Shin and fell on his knees again and bowed his head at Shin's feet. "Please…" he said again.

Shin's tears rolled down his chin and landed in Sai's dark hair as he humbled himself in front of everyone, not caring what they would say. Shin dropped to his knees next to Sai and grasped his cheek, lifting his face. "I love you, Sai," he whispered before he tenderly kissed the split lips of his lover.

Sai deepened the kiss, wincing when it became painful, but not letting go. He couldn't believe how close he had come to losing Shin for his stupid pride. "I'm so sorry, baby… it'll never happen again," he promised as he stroked the long silver hair.

"See that it doesn't because if it does, I won't hesitate to come to France and take Shin home with me," Sam said as he moved to check Sai's ribs over to see if any were broken.

"Get off of me," Sai growled as he held on to Shin tightly and glared at the American.

"Be still, nii-san is checking for broken ribs," Shin said.

"Nii-san…" Sai repeated.

"Samuel Perkins, at your service, Shin's sister is my wife," the American raised a mocking brow at Sai. "No broken ribs, but I bet they're bruised as hell," he said as he moved his hands away. "You better take him back to the hotel and wrap him up," he said to Shin.

"What are you going to do, nii-san?" Shin asked as he helped Sai to stand.

"I think I'm going to stay here and enjoy lunch with our new friends," Sam smiled at Shin. He helped Shin pull Sai up off of the ground, smiling to himself as the crow moaned in pain, and helped Shin take him to the car and watched them drive away.

"Sasuke, we don't have to go," Naruto said as his teme opened his car door. Sasuke had sent a text to their family telling them that he was taking Naruto home.

"Yes we do, dobe," Sasuke said as he watched his vixen clutch his left arm close, his face pale from pain. Fugaku had given him the rest of the day off and he and Mikoto were going to watch Daisuke so Sasuke and Naruto could spend quality time together. He closed the door after Naruto had slid into the passenger seat and ran around to the driver's side. Naruto refused to look at him as he slid into the seat, but Sasuke knew it was because he was embarrassed that he had cried in front of him.

Sasuke drove to the mansion and parked in front of the house. He went to Naruto's door and opened it, pulling the blond into his arms and carrying him into the house and up the stairs while Naruto protested. He carried Naruto to their room and closed the door behind them before gently putting his vixen on his feet. He went into the bathroom and ran some bathwater for his dobe before dragging him into the bathroom and shutting the door.

"Teme, what are you doing?" Naruto asked as he slapped his raven's hands away when they reached for his clothes. He had been naked in front of Sasuke many times, but he felt suddenly shy after his confession. It felt like Sasuke could see into his soul and find him lacking in one way or another.

"What does it look like, dobe?" Sasuke asked as he reached for him again. He pulled the awful orange tank top over the blond head causing his blond to whimper in pain. He winced for causing his dobe pain as he reached for his waistband. When he had the golden body naked, Sasuke ran his hand gently over the caramel flesh. "Beautiful," he murmured.

"Sasu," Naruto moaned, closing his eyes as the raven stroked his chest.

Sasuke sat Naruto on a bench as the water continued to run. "I'll be right back," he said before kissing his blond gently and sitting him on a wash bench.

Naruto watched as his raven left the room. He was gone for five minutes before returning, naked. He put a plastic protector over his vixen's cast, pulled Naruto into his arms, and gently lowered his dobe into the water before climbing in behind him. Naruto tried to relax against the raven, but his nerves nearly overwhelmed him. He was still afraid that it was only a matter of time before Sasuke would leave him.

"Relax, dobe," Sasuke whispered causing Naruto to shiver as the smooth baritone voice washed over him. Sasuke massaged the golden shoulders and back rhythmically as the jets from the tub sent currents of water over them.

Naruto could feel the tension drain out of him as Sasuke's magic hands roamed over his body. Sasuke laid the golden head on his shoulder before massaging the front of his dobe's neck and chest. Naruto's eyes drifted shut as Sasuke washed his hair and body tenderly bringing tears to his blue eyes at the gentle treatment.

After Sasuke had given his beloved dobe his bath, he gently dried him with a fluffy towel before wrapping his body in an orange silk robe he had bought for his blond. He quickly dried himself and wrapped his robe around him then picked Naruto up and carried him bridal style back into their room where a tray was waiting for them. Sasuke fed his vixen as he sat in the chair at the end of the bed, shyly eating as he blushed. After lunch, Sasuke made sure Naruto took his pain killers before carrying him to bed.

"You need to sleep," Sasuke said as he put a finger over the plump lips when Naruto started to protest again. He tucked the blankets around Naruto before sliding into the bed with him and gathering the golden body close.

Naruto tucked his head under Sasuke's chin, trying to stifle a yawn as the day's events finally began to catch up with him. He took a deep breath and relaxed against his teme. Just as he was about to drift off, he heard Sasuke whisper, "Say it again."

Naruto didn't have to ask what 'it' was. He closed his eyes and whispered the words his beloved wanted to hear. "I love you, Sasuke. I'll make you happy… for as long as you'll let me," he promised just before sleep claimed him.

Sasuke looked down into the precious face as he tightened his hold on his beloved. "I love you, dobe," he whispered into the golden ear before pressing a kiss against it, smiling when he saw Naruto smile and relax into him. Sasuke remained awake, watching his beloved sleep.

Iruka dropped his bag on the floor and hung up his keys before reaching down and taking off his shoes. "Is that you, baby?" he heard Kakashi's voice drift out of the kitchen.

"Yeah," he said as he pulled the hair tie from his hair and massaged his scalp. He walked into the kitchen where Kakashi was putting food from paper cartons onto plates. "I see you were slaving away with fixing dinner," he joked as he got their chopsticks from the utensil drawer.

"Always," Kakashi said as he carried their plates to the table. After dinner, Kakashi cleared the table and carried desert in. "I have your favorite," he said as he handed a piece of cheesecake to his little dolphin.

"You're gonna make me fat," Iruka wailed.

Kakashi smiled as he imagined the chubby Iruka strolling around the apartment. "I would still love you," he said as he offered the saucer to Iruka.

"I'm really full," Iruka said as he pushed the desert away.

"Just eat half and I'll eat the other half," Kakashi insisted causing Iruka to raise his eyebrow suspiciously.

Iruka smiled as he cut into the desert with the side of his fork. He frowned when his it stopped half way through the piece of cake. "What's wrong with this? Is it frozen?" he asked as Kakashi smiled. He pulled the desert apart with his fork to find a platinum band inlaid with blue diamonds. "What's this?" he asked as he pulled the ring out of the cheesecake, his eyes wide.

"I remember you nearly swooning at the movie we watched last weekend when the girl pulled an engagement ring out of her desert, so I thought I'd take a chance," Kakashi said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"'Kashi…" Iruka breathed as he watched his scarecrow kneel in front of him.

Kakashi took the ring from Iruka's unresisting hand and cleaned it off. He looked deeply into wide chocolate eyes as he caressed the silken caramel cheek. "I love you, Umino Iruka. I want to spend the rest of our lives together, making your dreams come true like you've made mine come true. Marry me," he said gently as he slid the ring onto Iruka's left ring finger.

"'Kashi," Iruka whispered as tears gathered in his eyes. He scooted out of his chair and fell to his knees in front of his beloved scarecrow. "Yes… yes… yes," Iruka said between kisses. He wrapped his arms around Kakashi's shoulders and laughed as he cried tears of joy.

Naruto opened his eyes a little, looking around the room for his raven only to realize he was alone. He sat up, panicking and looking around when the door to the bedroom swung open and Sasuke stepped through carrying a tray. "About time you woke up, dobe," Sasuke said with a tender smile directed at his vixen. "You've been thinking about stupid things again, I see," he said when he saw the worried look on his beloved vixen's face.

"Are you calling yourself stupid?" Naruto said saucily as his features smoothed out.

"Hn," Sasuke grunted, relieved to see that defiant spark back in his dobe's eyes. He sat the tray on the bedside table and sat on the edge of the bed, gathering the blond close. "I expect you to use that wicked mouth of yours to greet me like this every time I enter a room," Sasuke murmured just before he swooped in and took the plump lips in a scorching kiss. "Or if you like, you can do this," he continued to instruct as he gentled his kiss, nipping playfully at Naruto's full top lip. "But I really like this," he whispered, pulling Naruto into a deep, soul shattering kiss as he traced the full lips with his tongue before plunging it into the hot wanton mouth, tasting his dobe deeply.

"Sasu," Naruto moaned as he opened his body for his teme. He wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck, falling back against the pillows, bringing his lover with him.

Sasuke took great care not to cause Naruto any pain as his body slid over his vixen, falling between Naruto's spread thighs. He smoothed his hand down the god-awful orange robe until he came to the belt, yanking it free from the bow he had tied it in earlier and opening it, baring the creamy flesh hidden under it. "My beautiful Naruto," he murmured, lowering his head again to kiss the golden flesh.

Naruto untied Sasuke's robe awkwardly with his one hand, letting the robe fall open as he marveled at the alabaster skin. "I love you, Uchiha Sasuke," he whispered as he stroked the broad chest, inhaling Sasuke's scent.

Sasuke pulled the robes from their bodies, throwing them aside before covering Naruto's body with his own again. He kissed Naruto's forehead after smoothing away the wild blond locks then kissed each eyelids, his chin, and each scar on both cheeks before taking his lips in a tender kiss again. He caressed Naruto's neck, feeling the strong pulse beating under his fingertips before placing his lips there causing Naruto to gasp.

Naruto clung to Sasuke, stroking his broad back as his lover caressed him gently. He threw his head back and moaned when Sasuke kissed his pulse point causing a tremor of passion to wind its way through his body. Naruto tightened his grip on his raven as he rubbed a leg up Sasuke's back, wrapping it around his waist.

Sasuke groaned as he moved lower and engulfed one of Naruto's nipples with his hot mouth, causing the blond to arch into his touch bringing their members into full contact.

"Sasuke," Naruto moaned. "Love me."

"I do, dobe," the raven whispered as he kissed his way over to the other nipple, giving it the same treatment as he had its twin.

Yaoi lemon. If you do not want to read, please find the nearest exit line!

Naruto felt his body heat up with the delicious fire only his teme could give him as his eyes slid shut. He knew instinctively that Sasuke wanted to take the lead this time as he followed the cues his lover provided for him; knowing this time, the lovemaking would be better than it had been in front of the fireplace in France. He lay back against the bed and opened his body for Sasuke's questing hands and mouth.

Sasuke's body was already a raging inferno, it had been since he heard Naruto declare his love earlier in the park but he was determined to show Naruto the gentle loving care his dobe needed to prove to him that he wanted nothing more than his vixen. He placed wet open-mouth kisses along the hot flesh that looked like molten gold, nipping gently causing the blond to moan and thrust against him. He watched his vixen react to his every touch, making him feel weak and powerful at the same time as Naruto whimpered and gasped.

Naruto felt Sasuke shift his weight and opened his eyes. He saw the raven reach into their bedside table and purred with pleasure as he bent his knees, putting his feet flat on the bed and opened his thighs wide for his lover.

Sasuke was undone by the sight of his lover offering him his delectable body. He placed kisses on Naruto's thighs, tracing the muscles with his tongue as the blond panted and moaned. Sasuke continued to move up the caramel thighs until he reached the apex, circling Naruto's testicles with his tongue before suckling each one in turn.

"Sasu… aahhh… Sasu," Naruto moaned as he grasped each side of Sasuke's head while his dark lover pleasured him.

Sasuke lubed his fingers and Naruto's hole as the blond thrust rhythmically against him. He breached his lover gently and smoothly, causing his vixen to gasp and thrust onto his finger. He added another finger, licking Naruto's length until it glistened as his fingers prodded his prostate gently. He pushed in another finger as he slid Naruto's throbbing cock into his mouth, sucking lightly.

"Sasuke… please, please… I want you now," Naruto begged thrusting his hips, his knees falling further apart as Sasuke's mouth and fingers drown him in pleasure.

Sasuke added the last finger as Naruto thrust down on them, whimpering and begging his raven to come to him. Sasuke was unable to ignore the call of his lover. He bobbed his head, taking his lover's cock deeply into his mouth a few more times, making sure Naruto was prepared before placing one last kiss on the golden member and removing his fingers from the tight passage. He kissed his way back up Naruto's body drawing more gasps and moans from his vixen before capturing full lips again. He placed a condom over his length and added more lube. "Are you ready?" he asked breathlessly.

Naruto opened his pleasure glazed eyes and looked deeply into Sasuke's fathomless eyes causing the raven's breath to catch. "Yes, Sasuke… yes," he breathed as he pulled his raven down for an earth shattering kiss.

Sasuke entered Naruto gently but swiftly, stopping when he was fully sheathed by the golden body. He took Naruto's lips with a gentle violence that left his blond breathless and clinging to him as he began to thrust in and out of the perfect body with long, slow, deep strokes. He pulled Naruto's legs high up on his waist and deepened his thrusts, reaching his vixen's core.

"Sasuke…Sasuke…Sasuke," Naruto chanted as he held on to his teme for dear life. Tears leaked from his closed eyes as his beloved thrust in and out of his body, bringing him closer and closer to fulfillment.

Sasuke's dark eyes took in everything as he watched Naruto reach for his climax. He continued his gentle assault on Naruto, holding back his own fulfillment until his vixen had reached completion first. Sasuke's thrusts picked up speed as he leaned back, watching the face of his lover as his pleasure increased.

"Un… ooh, Sasuke… gonna cum… gonna cum, baby. I love you… I love you so much Sasuke. Sasuke…Sasuke…Sasuke," Naruto chanted, clinging to his raven, his eyes squeezed shut and his body became as tense as a bow string as his climax washed over him.

Sasuke watched Naruto's beautiful face in wonder as the blond climaxed, chanting his name over and over again. When he felt the perfect, tight walls clench his length; Sasuke gave in to his own body's needs. "Naruto," he whispered as he shuddered with completion.

It's over, you can look now!

Sasuke gritted his teeth against the pleasure as he removed himself from his beloved's body and rolled onto his back, taking Naruto with him. He placed Naruto's left arm on his chest. "Are you in pain," he asked, worried he had pushed his lover too far.

Naruto swallowed the lump in his throat and shook his head. "It was perfect," he said, placing a kiss on Sasuke's broad pale chest as he covered Sasuke's thighs with one of his own trying to get closer to his raven.

"It was better than perfect," Sasuke said as he tightened his hold on Naruto. "I knew making love to the real you would be better than anything else ever could be," Sasuke said in a low voice.

Naruto knew his teme was uncomfortable with emotional stuff, but knowing that he tried for him made the blond feel special. "Does that mean you don't want me to play dress up anymore?" Naruto asked to lighten the mood.

Sasuke squeezed his vixen tightly, realizing that the blond was trying to take away his discomfort. "I wouldn't go that far, honey," he growled as he pulled Naruto onto his chest.

Naruto threw his head back and laughed causing Sasuke to smile at his vixen's joy. When his laughter died down, Naruto stroked Sasuke's cheek he had slapped in the park gently. "I love you, Sasuke," he said as his cobalt eyes bore sincerely into Sasuke's obsidian gaze. "I love you more than I thought I could ever love anyone."

Sasuke swallowed as his eyes stung with an unfamiliar sensation. "I love you, Naruto," he said soberly, pulling Naruto down for a gentle kiss. When he pulled away, he rolled Naruto over and got out of bed to clean up. When he returned, he took the cover off of the tray and fed his beloved dobe dinner, watching as Naruto blushed at all of the attention before making love to him again.

"Kei, tell otou-san what happened earlier today," Itachi said as his dark gaze bore into his son's.

"But otou-san, I can't," Kei said.

"We don't know," Kai said at the same time.

Itachi's gaze narrowed. "You're lying to me," he said in a warning tone.

"Nu-uh," Kai said.

"We weren't there," Kei said as he looked nervously to his brother. Their grandmother had sworn them and Daisuke to secrecy about what had happened earlier, but if their father put too much pressure on them, they would crack.

"Uchiha Itachi, don't you dare say my boys are lying!" Deidara said as he wrapped his arms around the boys. "They would tell us if something happened, wouldn't you boys," he said gently as he hugged them against his body, protecting them from their father.

"Well, okaa-san…" Kei started.

"There you are, boys. Daisuke has been looking all over for you. He and Fuyuki are going out to look for the snipe in the backyard and they wanted to know if you wanted to come too," Mikoto said. She sighed with relief as she saw the guilty flush spread over Deidara's expressive face and frustration etched itself across Itachi's features. She gave them a warm smile before she followed the whooping twins from the room.

"I was sure it would work," Deidara said miserably. He and Itachi had worked out a 'good parent/bad parent' situation thinking the boys would respond to at least one of them and tell them what had happened in the park earlier. "Now what do we do?"

Itachi shrugged not really concerned with what had happened earlier when he had his angel so deliciously alone. "We could worry about that, or I could take you upstairs and we could give Sasuke and Naruto a run for their money," he said as his dark eyes danced when Deidara blushed.

"I could use a distraction," his angel said as he chewed his bottom lip.

"Stop that," Itachi said as he ran his tongue over the abused surface of the juicy lips before taking them in a swift kiss. He picked Deidara up in his arms and carried him up the stairs to their room closing the door, locking the world out.
